I remember sitting up on Saturday nights in high school from 84 -88. With my tape on pause flipping between 98.7 and 107.5. If they went to commercial or played something I didn't like, I was rolling the dial. 🤣🤣🤣 Recording everything I thought was crazy so I could play it in school on Monday. That was a crazy Era. #memories.

I grew up on Clark Kent, Red Alert, Q-Tip, Uncle Ralph.. seeing them on here has been a true blessing to me hearing their stories! Keep up the good work math 👏🏿🗽 I would love to see Melle, Flash, KRS, LL, Kool Herc, G Rap, Rakim, Latifah, Mecca Audio, Angie Martinez and Nas.

Angie and KRS 1000000% would be so dope including all the other ones you listed

Felt like I’m 13-14 again. Thank you for connecting the dots. This guy mad humble. This show is everything.

Young hip hop heads. This is a living legend. Sit down and soak up all this information. Salute to Math and the crew

A documentary needs to be created for this man. I would enjoy a podcast with him telling his stories without interruptions. Marley Marl, Mr. Magic, Chuck Chillout and the World Famous Supreme Team are icons of radio period. Without these men you would never hear live mixes on the air.

I remember recording wbls on my stereo then running upstairs to my aunt's to record kiss on Saturdays in 87.. those were the days. I wish I still had them tapes

I never seen Bigga in-tune w/ a guest like he is w/ DJ Red Alert. #respect

It's so good to see the elder KOOL DJ Red Alert

Kiss FM back in the day! In competition with WBLS! This is the beginning of the golden era! Red Alert 🚨 Mr. Magik, Chuck Chillout, Clark Kent, Bobitto and Strecth, and etc

Yo.... I got chills watching this... This legend is a national treasure, and not just in Hip Hop..... #MYExpertOpinion

Not from NY but a huge follower of the culture. A followerer Hiphop and R&B in general but especially NY where hiphop all started. The show is really nice. Getting a view from this vantage point is needed imo for balance. Not for me so much but for the world in general. It shows that the players in the HH community are people. When I say people, I mean flesh and blood real humans with stories of struggles, strategies, lessons and advice that can be applied in all corners of life. errbody in social media out here trying to come up with the next click bait frenzy, while "My Expert Opinion" providing real sustenance. Preciate it fam! for real. it very refreshing.

if mr Alert would sell these early tapes now, i would be interested in purchasing such tapes. just saying.

Salute to MEO every time! Thank you for honoring our elders while they're still here. Red Alerts mark on the game is irreplaceable. I'm happy that the youngers who are unaware are able to learn through this experience.

I'm a hip hop nerd so this is mad interesting. He talking about my childhood.

Thank you thank you thank you,for all the history lessons. You have the best quests out of all the podcasts that are representing this culture.

The Legend!!! Glad you posted this one. Real ones respect this!!!!! This is foundational!!!

Red Alert was one of my favorite DJs. And the Red Alert at parties worked the parties wayyy differently than the radio. And he had the radio jumping. KOOOOOOOOOLLLLL DJ RED ALERT Y'ALL!!!

Uncle Red brain sharp asf still 💯🦾🦾🦾

Good drop on this beautiful Sunday along with 🏈 being played rite now.

Happy to say I've told Kool DJ Red Alert in person thank you for his contributions to hip hop. Great interview! All the right questions were asked.

Watched from beginning to end. Perfect interview.

This interview is so legendary, Red Alert created the playlist to my childhood. Salute you fellas for bringing this to the people it was much needed.❤

this episode right here is CLUTCH! just thankful to witness this. salute MEO

This one hit me in the feels, I grew up on DJ Red Alert. I was too young to go to the block parties and what not but I had a tape cassette recorder and I would make tapes of his radio show every week and those were the soundtracks to my childhood in elementary and into middle school. I am SO glad y'all had him on to give him his flowers, this episode meat a lot to me. Thanks, Math.

Math keep doing your thing this 🔥🔥🔥🔥 my pops was a dj and used to talk about red alert this bought me back

Thank you for this much needed interview!!! DJ Red Alert is a legend!!!

Math, all I can say is blessings to you fam for bridging the old with the new. This platform is so needed in our culture we call hip hop and every interview has been phenomenal. Keep going at full speed bro 💯

I could literally sit and listen to the elders for hours, days, it's important that the stories remain stories, one love from England.

As always, great interview, but never forget, the influence of the culture of Hip-Hop existed before Herc. Other DJ'S were using to turntables, a few of them had MC's, not to be confused with EMCEES and we're extending the beats of popular songs of the day. U-Roy credits Jocko Henderson with toasting. In fact, U-Roy dedicated a song to Jocko called "Your Ace From Space". Machukie credits American radio for learning how to toast and purchasing Cab Calloway's book on Jive talk. Listen to "King of the Jungle by Cab Calloway. The early 1940's Black radio DJ's rhymed in between the breaks of the songs and did advertising with rap. Remember, the Whopper is a hamburger, it was just branded to be called something else just like Hip-Hop. Like Like vRed Alert said, it was made here.

Amazing to think that a style which is clearly urban and black american how anyone could even confuse its origin or even more by whom from clothing to speech to music to underground start. Remarkable imagination on others part. Oppression breeds creativity unfortunately and creates a unique opportunity for originality. In the states other countries followed suit

@Teflong2013

Question? Were you listening to cab Calloway in the club? Everyone called Kool Herc the godfather before until Busta and Fat Joe stated that Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans ushered in what we now call Hip Hop. Now it’s an issue! The style Kool Herc brought into the Bronx was coming straight from Jamaica. In Jamaica they were doing that since the 1950’s. If there were DJ’s who did it before…name them! Show me where I can find this proof on KZread! Also, why didn’t they get the recognition?

@@Teflong2013 No, it's not an issues. Herc deserves his just due as a DJ. Did the influence of what we call "Hip-Hop" come from Jamaica... Absolutely not. From Sir Coxson Dodd to U-Roy in their own words and in print, they point to America. Dodd points out seeing sound systems in the American South, how he encouraged to sound and play what he had witnessed. U-Roy named Louis Jordan as one of his inspiration. Listen to You Gotta Have a Beat by Jordan. See, let's be honest, it has nothing to do with Hip-Hop or Hip-Hop culture. It's clearly how we see one another as Black people, which is unfortunate. I think we all heard Busta's remarks. Black "Americans have no culture." That's personal and unfounded. Math said it best, it's all African. But again, some of us choose to be divisive. You asked if I listen to Cab Calloway. Yes, and many others who rhymed, scatted, crooned, and played instruments. My father's favorite group was the Ink Spots, a group you never heard of. When I mentioned Jocko Henderson, he took his rhymes from Hot Rod Hubert who my father use to listen to in Baltimore on the radio. So, when asking a question, don't assume what a person has not done. I have the vinyl to support my claims of what I was brought up on.

I'm glad these brothers are still around to share history

I'm so programmed into old school hip hop, that everytime Red Alert says, "Here it is".......in my mind I say, "Bam...and you say goddamn, this is a dope jam....".

Wow. Just wow!! The icon DJ Red Alert. Salute Fellas.

Yooo... I love the idea of a hip-hop almanac!! Y'all need 2 do that!!

Who remembers the days when Kool DJ Red Alert was cameoing up in damn near every Hip Hop video?

Man everytime that Siron came on you already know that RED is about to get busy ,and I lived in Brooklyn shout out to the KING one the one's and two's

I'm a big fan. Love and respect for Red Alert!

I was in Upward Bound at the University of Chicago in the early 2000’s. Definitely didn’t know they had it in New York in the 70’s

Possibly the best episode.

This is one of the first interviews I looked at all the way through, no disrespect to you guy's cause y'all have dope conversation but I grew up on Red Alert and I always listened to him over Mr. Magic. Love you Red and everything you contributed to the Culture

To add to the segment discussing east coast gangster rappers I have to mention Just I’ve as New York’s first. He embodied gangsterism in his lyrics and actions back in the ‘80s. Keep up your ascension to the top. Peace!!!

I’m proud to say I grew up with Red Alert 💪🏾
