There you ⁓ go. That's what I gotta say. So Red, tell us what you got going on. ⁓ the road to the five O. Mm. The road to five O stand for fifty years of service on the turntapes. Fifty years of service DJing if it's in the streets, if it's in the clubs, if it's on the radio, it's on a stage. It's just what you've been doing for fifty years and still have the passion of doing it. So I'm looking at it this way. Why not celebrate it? No, I mean you only look once. You know and You don't want to be a shulda coulda woulda. And I always encourage everybody, if I can do fifty, you can go ahead and do ten, twenty, thirty, four. Because at one point in time I was celebrating every ten years. And matter of fact, five years ago I just had a forty fifth anniversary of DJ. So now it's the five old. Keep it going. Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely. Respect. So it's another fifty box. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. So so what what? Let's let's take it back. Let's take it back. ⁓ What what what what bug meet you that made you want to DJ? What what how did it start? ⁓ man. Like this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Well, here it is. There's a ⁓ college that was named the high school I went to. Mm-hmm. I went to a high school up in the Bronx called DeWitt Clinton High School. Right. At the time it was all boys' high school, you know. And ⁓ right across the football field from there was another high school called the Bronx High School of Science. ⁓ tell me you heard about that school, ⁓ Bronx High School of Science? ⁓ I'm from Long Island. I didn't mean to put you on the spot. I was b I was born in the Bronx, but when I was three years old, three, one, two You cut out from the VX. I was yeah. Okay, you gotta excuse you gotta excuse. There was a school across the football field called Bronx High School of Science and then right next to that ⁓ Bronx High School of Science, about a train stop away and so away was a school called Lehman College. So I remember when I'm at the time we all hanging out coming from high school and we caught ourselves at a young age, going to the college campus, acting, you know, acting like we the big boys, because they're a little bit older than us. Right. And we wound up in the cafeteria. So we wound up in the cafeteria. I saw this guy had a setup on the long lunchroom table. And I kept getting closer and closer and I saw that he had he had some turntables. in between there and there was something in the middle I did not know until I learned later on. But he had it it was known as a mic mixer then. It wasn't really an actual mixer. It was a mic mixer hook up to the turntables. And then behind his setup he had on the table some crates and records. Mm. So I see him putting on a record from one to another and everything. I said, yo, what is this going on? You know, so I was getting very intrigued about that. At the same token of time, me and the fellas from high school We used to sneak downtown to the clubs. Now, you know, at that time. I know you remember this. At a place called the Penny Arcade, that used to be on 42nd Street. You can go get the fake IDs. You go get them fake IDs, right? So here we go get the fake IDs. I used to put on my my older brother's clothes, recipes, my older brother. And ⁓ here it is, we were trying to get in that club. Now look at me a couple of times and then they I beg get out of here, get out of here. But then they lied to come in, they say, But don't go don't do this, don't do that. But when I got in, the first thing I saw when I saw to my left hand side when I come through the door, is a setup. I said, That's the same setup I saw at the guy with the college. So I just stayed there and watch him, not knowing who this guy was as a legend later on. Rest in peace, Pete DJ Jones. ⁓ wow, wow, wow. So I'm watching him and I'm amazed. Because, you know, but this what Pete J. Jones is doing is different from what I saw the guy doing at college. You know, I saw some next level with Pete J. Jones. So I mean, I just stand there, you know. I wasn't trying to move around in the club. I wasn't trying to I wasn't into no drinking. I wasn't into no talking no female. I just stay there. So then the next week I come The guy remember he said, Girl that you in, remember what I said? And they used to have the the security guards, you know, scout you to see what you're doing. But they kept coming back to the main man and say, Yo, all he do is just stand there in front of the DJ. And that's what I did. I got to a point when they saw me do it a couple of times, then they stopped bringing a chair for me. Wow. And then they used to teach me and say, You want something to drink? I said, No, I was getting free spice soda. And I was just amazed watching this man doing what he's doing. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Now before that, a lot of people did not know. When I was in Debriclin High School, there was a class I took up music class. And taking up music class to learn how to read and write music. Now, before that, growing up under my grandparents, you know, my grandparents from West Indies, Antigua. That's my heritage. Another one and another one. Yeah, ⁓ huh. So here it is, in a household. Between my grandparents and my older brother who I just mentioned, you had in the household if it wasn't the Calypso and Sokin music, then I was getting the pop, soul, funk, jazz, early Latin, all that would inspire me to go and take up music and then from that ⁓ like then that school inspired me to what I saw in front of me of a far as a DJ could sum. So it was a building block. That's one inject real quick while I say and another one, 'cause look, Flash as as as route to the West Indies, Bambada, all all the most a lot of the original fo original founders come come their family at least come out of the West Indies. That's right, that's right. Yeah. I think Jamaica. That's right. ⁓ I I forgot. I think F Flash's out of Barbados. Yes. Barbados. And I think ⁓ I think Bam is Tr Tr Trin Trinity. They're true. You know? I didn't know that. And then, you know, there's many others, you know, that within a couple of generations after, you know. You got like Dougie, you got you got like ⁓ the people that, you know, that are Haitians like, you know, ⁓ rest in peace. Rycleff. Right. Rest in peace, ⁓ True Boy, you know, and rest in peace ⁓ my man from ⁓ U Ch O, you ⁓ Kango Kid, you know? Yes sir. But but it was that we was just being inspired by the sound. That's right. That's right. You know? Yeah. Sound systems was a was part of f for me, I I I like I was ⁓ I was a little younger, but I was a fan, like like ⁓ from the from B Boying, we always try to B boy in our basement. We had the little strobe lights. But the ⁓ the DJing, the rapping. But one thing that that that I loved too was the sound system. And that's definitely like sound Sound system, you think for first thing you think is Jamaica sound system. Now speaking of B boy, you used to be boy? Man, I wasn't good. I used ⁓ me and my friends used to go down in the basement and turn the strobe light on. We tried, you know, like everybody else. But no, I was never no, I was never no real b boy, but my cousin original DJ Jason Jay and I, we were both B boy. One day I thought and and and You couldn't help but you couldn't help but be that back in them days. That was that was there was at least two elements of the culture that you got involved in. Yeah, at least. At least. At least. And there was the two, that and Djang. Take us a little back pot like how all this went off. Yeah, take us back like how all this started with you when when you became a part of the Zoom Nation and I got down to Zoom Nation in seventy-nine. Now when I started to learn how to DJ it was seventy-six. Right. Nineteen seventy-six. And then along the way, as I got more involved with it, my cousin who I just mentioned used to come to the house. So I showed him the basics and then I allowed him to do his own and create his own until he added his money, you know, along with my aunt and helped him chip in and he got his own system. So ⁓ I gotta admit that first person that he DJ for was rest in peace, Disco King Mario. And then he moved up in the Bronx, Bronx River Projects. So you're playing for Disco King Mario. That's located another section on the box. So when Bam Bada kept on hearing about, you know, who this little guy over there playing with Mary, because they was rivals at the time, no DJ, you know, rivals, you know, competition. He said, that's guy's just moving the fashion. He said, What are you doing over there? He pushed me with us. So he went after my cousin. The original DJ Jazzy J. Jazzy J. And Jazzy J spoke up for me. And that's how I got down seventy nine. Wow. Let the people know how you like you always used to tell me back in the days, how you always had to wait your turn. Now let me explain something to y'all. Respect to everybody that came before me. Respect to Africa Islam, Grandmax of D S T, Rest in Peace Wiz Kid, you know, my c my own cousin Jazzy. ⁓ the list is no. I didn't get my turn to get on if I was probably at the end of the night, I f five got to play the last twenty maybe forty minutes. Because they were the fine time DJs at that time. You know? And I wasn't as skillful as them because I wasn't really into what they call turntablism. The earlier days turntableism. I was more into mixing and blend. And you know, when you come into the culture of hip hop, you know it's like all that energy you bring in for the MC that's reciting on the mic. So I always got my last Twenty and forty minutes, but I'll just say, okay, run, all in due time. I'm gonna ask you like I ask everybody else that comes on here and and and mentions Africa Islam. Man, when when when when Iced T at Public Enemy used to roll, that was my brother, we used to hang out. I even been to his house, he had ⁓ he got up he got all the he got all the iguanas and stuff in his house. Tell that brother to call me. ⁓ I miss you. Hey Islam, I miss you, brother. Give me a shout Can I miss you something? I I'm skipping over, but I'm gonna tell you one part about that. Okay. Now this is the time I was on this tour called the Dope Jam tour. Okay. In eighty eight. And who was on the bill was Eric B by Kim, Dougie Fresh, Kumo D, Boogie Dog Production, Iced Tea Recipes, Bismarck. So there was a war part that they asked me to come with, no, ⁓ Africa Islam and Ice T to LA to shoot a video. Uh-huh. And that was the video recorder I'm gonna push it. ⁓ Wow. I did that. Now I'm gonna stay over at Islam House. ⁓ And the creepy crawlies came out, I guess. And when I was man and I came in and I saw, this is jungle habitats. ⁓ The hell is going on here? ⁓ But you know, he kept them in in if it was like, you know, and even the fish tank or in the cages or anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I opened That's crazy. That's crazy. Uh-huh. Yeah. Let me ask you one more question, Bob. So from your time coming up in the music scene to today, like Like what comparison do you see like of today's music to the music when it first started? Like why do you see difference like what I see that is now I consider more underground is creativity. Because the creativity is still there. It's just not being shown as much as it was in the past. And not only that, learn to be open minded. to, you know, adjust to whatever comes your way because during our time, and I'm talking about from the seventies mainly going to the eighties, there was a lot of diversity at that time. You may be listening to some R and the early hip hop, but you're also gonna be listening to the sounds of David Bowie, Madonna, Corn Notes, ⁓ Cindy Roper. I mean, the list is long. That's right. You know, and we learn how as DJ to interject all the sounds together. Really like combined. And that's one thing I gotta give a lot of respect to Africa band Barbara because he makes me learn to be open minded to listen to a variety of different music. Yes, sir. And that's what it is. So the music of today is still there. It's just that not being acknowledged as much it was in the past. But the creativity still remains. One more thing I would like to ask you, Pops, because I you're gonna give me this answer. So what do you think about you remember like when we was coming up, like the guys we had more control over the music. But now the females, it's like the females took over. Now what you mean in that in that sense? Like now you got the Cardi B, the Nicky Mu you got all these girls, like they the top sellers now. Compared to the guys that are making music now, to the females, like it's more like a female stuff. You know what's funny? I'm gonna bring ⁓ I'm gonna bring up something based upon that. I never forget. There was a ⁓ a a a dance music report that used to come out a paperback called dance music report. And ⁓ this was during the time the new music seminar they had that day called dance music report. And I remember somebody interviewed me and I made a statement, this is like round eighty seven, I'll never forget. I said, Be aware of the females because they are coming. And when I received people looked at me like I was crazy. And they hear now. And then when we talk about eighty seven, we're talking about the rise of well, you know, Shah was already from before. And there's a couple of other female MCs that never get in knowledge as far as the beginning of the culture. You know. Shah there was a there was a young lady named Nay Nay, part of the machine. Wow. ⁓ there was it's quite a few of them. I just can't remember all of them right now. But with then here come later on, you know, we see the breakthrough of like Shantae. Mm-hmm. And then after Shantae, here come a couple others that lead into MC Light. You know, Light. Moni T Flug. Moni Moni too. You know, Mo Moni, I'm saying about maybe a good eighty, eight because she was the top female MC ⁓ in ⁓ o over everybody in the UK. But she really came out to to commercial audience about eighty eight into eighty nine. Okay. You know, doing like that. And then even even the ⁓ the cookie crew that used to be out there. Cookie crew, yeah. And and Mount London. Uhhuh. And ⁓ she was from ⁓ She she was originally the C rocker. I'm talking about ⁓ And let's not forget the lady that hold down Philadelphia. There you go. Lady Lady B Street Street beat. Yeah, you know. I feel like we I know we forget. ⁓ wait a minute, a minute. We gotta give you respect. Hold on, hold on, hold on. She just passed away. Sparky. Sparky. Sparky D. Rest in peace. Sparky D. Sparky. And another lady that passed away from Philadelphia, ⁓ what's her name? T something T. Yeah, I I it come to me, I forgot her name. She passed away at a very early age. But I remember mentioning this in the dance music report and people look at me crazy. So now as years go by, we saw the evolve how, you know, from all that going to the salt and peppers and we mentioned Yo Yo ⁓ Yo Yo, we mentioned right and then and there'll been various others that leading up to the ones of today. Now so the ones of today minor, what I gotta say is It's going according to the energy of what the sound is now. The energy of what the sound is now is what quote unquote the creators and the audience is supporting amongst each other. You know? Things not gonna stay the same. Some for the better, some for the worse. I would never judge it, you know, but that's what it is. So these are the door openers for the ones who you who you ask them. I would say this. I would say this. Like I kinda pay attention. I'm old school and there's some o new school like some some new school. I'm like, I don't get it. But I will say this. I think that the the n the newer lady rappers, ⁓ they they they they are very in tune to their listeners. Like they say this stuff that they relate to, like that's that's the key to I don't care if you male, female, whatever. Mm-hmm. If you in tune with your audience And I think the late females are very in tune with their audience. You know, you know what I'm saying? I and I think that's part of the magic that they're that they're coming with and that why they're so successful, man. Now of course, you know, let's face it. We all know that as time go by, I just mentioned from generation to generation, ever, there are some things that we may don't adapt to that. That's right. No, right. But remember in the beginning, from my standard being involved To it from day long being on radio and beyond, the elders before us didn't understand it. Yeah. So as time goes by, we always grow up be the next century, well, ⁓ but they got people who support them. That's right. Now now you can't knock them because you know things evolve. Like I say, some for the better, some for the worse. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So when you you let's let's let's take it back to radio. Okay. The old school days. How'd how'd you get down with KISS? Well, this is what happened. Before KISS, I used to be with Africa Islam, one of the members of the Zoom Nation. And we was on an independent station call, WHBI, one ⁓ five. Yeah, member HBI, yeah. That's the station that's the station where hip hop radio was created. Best in peace, super rock and Mr. Magic. Yep. That's right, that's right. And we got a closer people that that was on that radio. Wasn't ⁓ brothers on there too? ⁓ you had the world famous Supreme team. Awesome too. Awesome two. You had awesome too. There you go. We had my man best in peace, Jerry Bloodrock. That's right. You know? Let me ask you this, because I know you know this. I've been asking everybody else that nobody remembers. There was after the hip hop show or one of the hip hop shows, ⁓ there was a female DJ that played reggae. She called herself the Night Nerds. I know you ha please tell me you remember her. That was on WH? I don't know what station it was on. You don't know. I'm already disappointed. I remember the station. She used to start our show playing Night Nurse by ⁓ the song Night Nurse by I forgot his name, forgive me, but you don't remember. Wow. You don't remember either. Because the person I knew that was playing Caribbean sounds on WHPI was my man Mr. Gilbert. Wow. Gilbert, I know, but I can't remember now it may hit me later on, but I can't remember her. Okay. And then so as you know, at that time it was emerged of different situations. Number one, in eighty two, Planet Flight came out. It was a game change. That's right. Game changer. At that time, that's when we used we had left from uptown, we was now playing in downtown scene. And we were playing in the downtown scene. And it sounded weird, but i it was like all in cahoose each other. We were playing at a place called Dance Interior. Yep. And we play a dance interior, not only that read down there DJing and have people MCing at the same time the Jazzy Five had Jazz Sensation out. Mm and this is eighty one. But we was amongst the groups like Talkin' Heads, Devo. Yep. Nina Nina Nina Hagen. ⁓ who else? I'm trying to feel who was more into that ⁓ the alternative sound at that time. The New Wave Punk Rock, the alternative sound. The Ramones. No, ⁓ giant rat and all of them. So it's crazy because it was like a new experience to us. We'd leave him from uptown and quote unquote the hood and we'd come downtown and be amongst people with the punk rock gear, the crazy colors in their hair. And I was gonna ask you too w w did you get to meet Deborah Harry? double Harry. Yeah, ⁓ huh. So but but the thing is that we accepted their side and they accepted that side. That's right. That's right. And that's how it interject. So now I'm here that's where it comes to part of creativity from after Plan Rock and no at one point in time our people didn't know that the Soul Sign for you used to be ten MCs. Yeah. Yeah we had Mr. Biggs on here. He talked about it. Yeah 10 MCs but he now bam now down to three MC Mm-hmm. Which is Rest of Peace Powerwow, Mr. Bakes, and Mr. Low. And they made a sound that changed the scope. And once again, it's the mindset of what Bam had in mind to tell the producers, John Ruby, and and ⁓ baker what to create, mm-hmm, it became what it is. So now here it is, we're leaving from dance to tear and now we're going to a place called the rocks. The rocks each time. 18th Street. Yeah, became club at 1018 81. Yeah. It was originally known as a box. It was a skating ring. But on Fridays they had opened up for us to play. And at that time, we was all playing for ⁓ it was a big melting pot. All different nationalities. All different and different vibes. And we la we played a little bit of everything. Once again, I told you, Bam told me how to be open minded. So we play rock. We play funk. We play hip hop. We play dance. We play we you name it, we play if it fit, it's legit. Right? So then here it is at that time a gentleman from the ⁓ radio station by the name of Barry Mayo, he was a foreclan director. He came down, he talked to band, said, Yo, we have interest, ⁓ having somebody to ⁓ incorporate what you're doing. But from what we doing because at the time he used to be called the Kiss Master Mixes. Kiss Master Mixes. Yeah. Chef Pettibone. Chef Pettibone. And Tony Humphreys, right? Tony Humphrey. And and and Junior Vasquez. ⁓ was also on the side too. Yeah, Chef Petty Bone. Chef Pettibone was the man at that time. ⁓ yeah. Yeah, right. They put he put out an album, Max Mix album. Yeah, yes he did. Yeah, yeah. Big up the chef. ⁓ he was strong. He was strong. Yes, sir. Now he'll this reason there at first bam because they know we was part of the culture, because Mr. Magic was that from WHBI to WBLS, a major radio station. So now they wanna have somebody come on their major radio station. So the first person they had in mind was Africa Is Not. Africa Is not gonna make it, why? Because at that time he was on the road DJing for the Black Study crew at the release of the movie Wildstyle. Wow. So the next person they had, they thought of my cousin, Jazzy J. ⁓ So Jazzy did it. Mm-hmm. He did it for a couple of months. Now there's no pay. And you know, it'd give him some exposure. But then again, Jazzy fall back on that because he would combine that. He was also still on the road DJing for the Soul Science Force. Mm-hmm. Then they come the little old me. And that was in October nineteen eighty three. Wow. And I'll never forget the October, November, December. Three months no pay. But it gave me exposure. That's right. It gave me exposure where people were paying attention and listening to you before you know you're getting booked. You became a name, yeah. You know, you'd be doing your name. And then I wasn't on every weekend. It was a thing that they had me alternate with other DJs. Like I used to have me on every other Saturday from eleven to two in the morning. And I and I used to alternate along with the ⁓ with Tony Humphrey. Then after Tony Humphrey had me alternate with the Latin rascals. Crazy rascals. And then and then within about I came in October the next year in in around April, here comes Chuck Chill Out. So now me and Chuck is like back and forth. And that's how that became. And then when you went right into Latin quarters, pops. That did old L Q, I was doing that. I can't ⁓ help. So I so you mention you and Chuck Tail out and and and so I can't help but bring up the Mr. Magic beef. You smile see you smile like ⁓ No And no more nobody can talk about that like you. So I'm asking you if you don't wanna talk about it you won't have to. So once again, no Mr. Magic. People have one of the most distinctive voices ever. Yeah. For hip hop radio. Yeah. Well he was something else on that mic too. He he he he split that venom out there, you'd be like, You yeah, c you catch your feelings caught. ⁓ So when my cousin Jassy first came on, I remember he used to say, Who this new guy I heard that's down to die that's on the conversation? Then they call him Jazzy, who's Jazzy Jassy Walk, Jazzy Wack? Whoa. Jassy Drake. So he got a history of doing it to everybody. So then when I came on he said, ⁓ they got a new guy down the down. But he got red hair. I don't have that in bound. ⁓ they call him red who? Red what? Red dirt? ⁓ wow Red Dirt? And then he said Woody Woodpecker. So now I'm steamed because you know You know, you moving around in the neighborhood and people come to what he's saying. Crazy. I got back to the program director. I said, Yo, my man, Magic is dissing me. The program look at program director look at me and start laughing. I'm mad at him. He said, Man, sit down, sit down, sit down. I understand how you feel. You have the right to be mad, but let me explain something to you. The same time he's talking to you about you. He's advertising you. Yeah, that's true. That's he's advertising you. Yeah. It took a while for it to sink in for what he explained to me. Wow. So I had to I had to, you know, take it all in when people still see me, yo man, he dissing you, man. Yo, man, he's just he's cooling you and I had to soak it up. But here it is, it kept gaining and gaining more for me. You're right. You're right. Well, it's funny because you don't want everybody who's really listening to a Saturday to Friday night, so we're running all along. You're right, too. What you're saying is is right because it strikes me as like when he did Public Enemy, he he played the record, he broke the record on on radio. I mean, literally broke it in half. And no more music from the stuff. But people are listening. And like, so they know that's gonna make them remember too. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. You know, because it's a B. Like if if they it's kinda like when the people say If you ain't if you don't have haters, you ain't doing nothing. You know what I'm saying? So that so so yeah, that's absolutely true. Yeah, you know. Mr. Magic at that time was like that old commercial, EF Putin. When you speak, people will listen. There you go. And that's exactly what it is. Well, best in peace is super rack, Mr. McCossey. I'm always considering a door opener for me to be doing what I'm doing. So far as playing hip hop on the radio. Respectful. Respect. ⁓ Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know the crazy part about it, I know I'm skipping all over the place, but you know here what is that when the Roxanne Roxanne ever came out and here it is when you know, they when the guy Sean Tate to go after, you know, Tefold. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll never forget that day. I'm at Russell Simmons office hanging out. I used to always hang with Russell Simmons. Then got Spider D come stepping in with the tape. Russell Simmons always kept a little cassette that cassette box on his desk. No, listen, listen. Pop the tape in, he listened to it, said, ⁓ It was called Sparky's trunk. The young lady with him was Sparky D. Wow. So here it is. They're thinking real quick because they try to find out she just got signed the Neo Records. Mm. Respect to the Lean Brothers. Remember them, right? Release you. Release. That was that label. Near records. Wow. So here it is. Everything is working around her. This is all brand new to her because Spider-Man is up on what's going on. But she's like oblivious of what's going on because you know she's just coming as a new artist. So when she said, they say, yo, y'all doing this. Wait a minute. I ain't got no DJ. She turned around and looked at me. You wanna be my DJ? I said, okay. And we was on the road for a good strong two and a half years. No Never practice one time. Yeah. Redjust spontaneous. But no, I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Wow. And she and Sparky's such a I I've met her I've I've been around her maybe three times. But she's she's always just a great just a great individual, great human being. Always fun to be around. Right, right. Uhhuh. I mean Very outspoken. Very outspoken, but it's like it me. Just a great deal for my DJ. And I've been on I was on the vote with her everywhere. So the reason I brought that up compared to what you're saying, Good Friendly Magic, because here it is got to a point that everybody always wanted to put a package together of Sparky D and Sean Tay during the part during the show together. So, you know, we used to DJ for ⁓ Shantae Time Come I ain't always come out, was Shan. Okay. And I'm DJing for Spocky. Okay. So we all like sticking together, even though we may be ribbers on radio, but we all sticking together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guess who was my roommate? Wow. Rest in peace. My tie. Wow. Rest in peace. So, you know, and that just another topic to understand. Okay, we maybe have a little rivalry going on as far as radio to records. But we in another town. We gotta stick together where we're from. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We go ahead and leave all that other nonsense out the way because we we have a go we gotta gotta make it happen. And so that's why I'm bringing that up because you just say how me and Massie became good friends, you know? Yeah. Yeah. No, I I all I can say is this why I call the Road to the Five O because throughout the years of what I saw from the very beginning, getting myself established, getting to be recognized, and then getting down with one of the biggest ⁓ hip hop ⁓ organizations in the culture. Right, you know, and then you learn how to go ahead and move around to every different location as far as people and sounds and creativity and a and energy is concerned. Make you learn to be open minded, what you gotta do, bring to the airways, bring to the clubs. Play on making when you making tapes, you know? Yes, we had cassette tapes. ⁓ that later became CDs. All this is what gave you depth, gave gave you get depth to become who you are and what you mean to what you do. So that's why I say road to the fire. Well, because that was a road that, hey, listen here. It could have went somewhere else. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But I s I stuck to this. And I'm blessed to say I haven't stuck to this because with this, took care of my family. Right. Put my kid put my kid to college. Mm-hmm. You know, it it it it gave me life. It got me to see the world. In order for Our elders or anybody in our family in order for them to see the real most of the time when you was in the service. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force. Two turntables took us around the world. Wow. Facts. We don't abuse it, we embrace it. That's a fact. That's a fact. And there's a and and and when we started, I mean you before me obviously, but pre I'm talking pre internet, pre social media. What used to blow my mind, we go to other countries and they know your name by seeing it and I'm like it I don't I don't know what you but the first time I I I w one of the most specific memories I have is going to ⁓ Italy, I guess it was. And ⁓ I used to always go out in the crowd prior to the show. I used to hang out with the soundboard, that kind of stuff. And I remember coming out in the crowd and and this is kids up on a on a in a certain little arena and they used hanging off the side of this the bleachers or whatever you want to call it. Terminator, terminator. And I'm like it's like blowing my mind. Like, how do they know me? How I'm like, it's you know, so so like like you say, we we we we Right. And and then here's one number thing that I'm blessed to say. Number one, radio help take me to so many levels. So That's right. That's right. Everybody always recorded you off the radio. That's right. He can t This man can assess to that. Mixed mask. My my father used to have several cassettes of you. And you know, it I wasn't born, but I knew it was important how important those cassettes were of of your show. Mm-hmm. And ⁓ I'm not well all I can just say, man, is you know, those those red alert tapes traveled throughout the world and you know they're a blessing 'cause they're on YouTube now. That's the powerful thing about the internet. They're on YouTube. Right. Right. So so you know, and people used to always tell me, and little bow come in my face. Yo, man, I'm making money off you. How are you making money off of me? Selling your things. I sell a copy for five, ten dollars, everything. But then again they even go on the way to school. Like I just mentioned you in the service. Yep. Yeah, family members, whoever it is to travel. Yeah, yeah. But at the same token time you're promoting me. Before you know, that's right. So before you know I'm doing homecomings. That's right, that's right, that's right. I'm I DJ a couple of times down at at Fort Brad. Whoa. A couple other different facilities similar to that. It can have me go overseas. That's right. And I never forget the first time I'm overseas. Eighty five. I'll never forget my first time overseas. So, who was on? It was on the it was Bam Bata, Lisa Lee, IKC. It was a confiti artist named Brim. And we're in the New York City Breakers. We were over there. And Jazzy Joyce. Whoa. So while we were moving around, somebody had mentioned to the kids out in the street who I was. The kids come running up to me asking for autographs. And I said, Yo, ma'am, how the hell do they know about me? See? And guess what he said? Pirate radio. See? Wow. You know what they used to do? Anybody from overseas would take you off the radio, go ahead, bring it overseas. Now you know pirate radio is quote unquote illegal radio. Yeah. It could be a hell of radio. They would call us pirates and and here we could be within us. ⁓ but hear the whole entire T commercials and everything on it. And that's how they get to know you. So I know I said this many a time I say right now. The in the the the cassettes was the internet ⁓ time. That's right. Yeah, that's why I said that on YouTube. Yeah, and it started in New York, because that's that's how it was the internet. That's how Flash and Kirk and all of them her cool herkin herculloids and everybody else blew up across New York 'cause of the tapes. Yeah. It was there was a commodity. Tapes was commodity. I remember when before you know Baylor got established to where it was at. Any time and I was taking all the jams off resume. I did art tapes. But besides me, you had many other people, no, ⁓ Tape Master Spees I was down with ⁓ Code Code Webbers and various others. Wow, they make copies and before you know, all the fancy known cars at the time in New York, like OJ's and Godfather and and and I think it's so many different style car service that had the fancy cars. They wasn't done, but they did. They was rocking the tapes. Yeah. Because they was popular. Yeah. So that's ⁓ The show they put out, ⁓ I I don't ask you what you thought about it too. ⁓ what is it? ⁓ The Get Down? The get down. They kinda they kinda alluded to that. Yeah. And then ⁓ I think I think I miss I think I asked Mr. Biggs what you think about the get down. He said I th I thought it was the the the big letdown. That's my man. I met Biggs. I met Biggs. Yeah. What did you what did you think of the get down? Since since we were talking about it. I'm gonna tell you the guy's shoot I never looked at. Wow. Wow. Okay. I don't know. I have for some reason I just never had interest to look at it. Okay. I enjoyed it. I I I I felt like it wasn't accurate totally acc well, definitely wasn't totally accurate, but ⁓ at least they had Flash was a was a consultant, my understanding. Yeah. ⁓ but it I enjoyed it because as as as someone that grew up in New York, mm I enjoyed that the fact that they made it like I'm still at in the place like I I enjoy anything that talks about hip hop. And it may have maybe Maybe it's not totally accurate, but I enjoyed it anyway. I enjoyed it anyway. Yeah, I've never it may come for us. Maybe one day I'll keep myself still and look at it. Just like just like the new Michael Jackson movie. I've got I've got mad and and mine will tell you, I got mad. I'm like especially when they represented the Jacksons of the group. ⁓ like the ⁓ the con the ⁓ the tour they did. That last big tour they did when Can You Feel It came out. I was mad and they they didn't even play a Jackson song. I was furious, but I still enjoy it because look, that movie, the Michael Jackson movie, introduced Michael Jackson into probably at least two generations of people that that didn't they know that they didn't know anything about. Like all those kids, if you have if y'all got kids, you know they all trying to dance like Michael Jackson and one of his Michael Jackson music. And keep in mind, you know what I mean? You always heard of the name. But you never knew what is it of the person. So that was a reintroduction to a whole new slew of people. So and and yeah, I mean, you get down problems like that to a whole new slew of people. That's right, that's right. That's my point. That's why that's why I appreciate it because yes, it may not be ⁓ accurate, but it's still it it's spreading the hip hop, the word of hip hop. You see what I'm saying? And that's why I enjoyed it. Well, you know, one thing about Mr. Bigger, I I have respect to I respect to all the members I used to be a part of and far as you nation concerned. Yeah. Yeah, I love Mr. Biggs. Biggs, no hose bar. Man, he told man, I don't know. He told some funny stories. He lets you know. He knows he is considered damn very seen it all. He seen it all. Yes, yeah. You know, I respect him to the fullest. Love Mr. Biggs, yeah. Shout out to Mr. Biggs. So so ⁓ promote your show, Twist. ⁓ That's my new toy. Toy is about two years old. Twitch, everybody. ⁓ some people still may consider Twitch as a program for gamers, but no, for the past since what? Since COVID. Since COVID. It's been it been a drop enough for a ⁓ a slew of us as DJs to come on here. And ⁓ I do that Monday to Friday, two PM Eastern Standard Time. Sometimes I do pop ups on the weekend. No. I I may do pop up maybe in the middle of ⁓ of of the day and maybe in the evening. But ⁓ I'm having fun with it because same thing what I had learned, you could be open minded playing a little bit of everything. Rather come in. And some people are saying to me, ⁓ right, you know the same thing you do on regulation, gotta bring that over there. I say, Never bring that. Why? I say, if I built a solid base for years and years with the audience and listen to me on radio, why I can't bring them along with me. And add the elements along with it that I cannot play on radio. So I bridge it together. Wow. And that's what I've been doing. And I haven't funny, you know, this remind me of the earlier days of Ustream. Okay. U stream and live stream because I used to do that too. Wow. You know, I I used to call that cool DJ by global radio. So now with this I call this the veterinary experience. Mm. You know, as I've been having that title for the past ⁓ many years now, the veterinary experience, yeah. You know, and I'm having family, you know, and it's a blessing to come across where a lot of fellow DJs just on there, you know, and good support system. Yeah. You know. Keep your name out there, gotcha, you know. That's right. And and and because it's so Twitch is more accessible, so You probably growing ain't no problem about it. You you're growing new new fans as well. ⁓ new people you introducing yourself to new people. That's something I've been talking about. I keep saying I'm gonna get on Twitch. One of these days I'm gonna get Yeah, because once again, what I just said, people may know of you but now they get this See you see you and hear you. That's right. You know, and no they may look at things in a different perspective. There's people that been listening to me on radio, they say, Man, I'm now you playing some that I never got a chance to hear you play on radio and you got to play on here. You know? So I ain't never no more with that. I still do the radio. You know, I still it's going on forty three years now. You know what saying? That's why can't ready go so What year would you say that you started officially DJing? Let me see. I started in nineteen seventy-six. Okay, since nineteen seventy-six, so I wanted to say this. You've been relevant since nineteen seventy-six. Yes. How many people can say that? No, no, no. How many people can say that? I know no. I I'll be honest there's a lot of them that I I will admit that even a little more than me that's still moving away. Okay, okay, okay. But they not as relevant as they should be. Okay. But I give them that for two. How how about this? How active? You've been active since 1970. There's a few lesson lesson pieces of some people done here. And they were alive, they would still be rocking. Okay. But you got DJ Hollywood still rocking. Yeah. You got Reggie Wells that's still rocking. You know? ⁓ there's people like what's in a blue moon he may come over with his brother ⁓ Grandvision Theodore, mean Gene. Mean Gene might still get on. Theodore's been re really. Now I can't tell you how long them two are have been, but I know that Reggie Wells and Hyde have been on before me. Started DJ. So there's a five many others out there. But as far as to keeping that level up. That's my point. So so yeah, yeah, much respect to the Theodore. I love Ditto, I love ⁓ Reggie Wells, all these people we're talking about. But you have been in the public eye, or least the public ear, since nineteen seventy. You see what I'm saying? And what I also had did you I appreciate that. And what I also had did, not only because one thing I learned, you could be the best at whatever you do. But you don't promote yourself, how would they know? That's right. So what I always did, I always learn how to what they call it today, branding. marketing and what I took advantage of most more than anything else. Videos. Yeah, I remember and and when the videos was huge, it kinda fell off now, which I don't understand, but At that time. He was in all the videos. Yeah, he was my and what's what's it? ⁓ and now this red alert. Wow. Madden Base head. Remember that, right? Let me tell you how let me tell you how this came about. So Once again, like I said, I used to do Sparky, right? ⁓ Sparky and I we had this something for the Kentucky Derby. ⁓ Kentucky, right? Wow. So we got hired. So there was a guy that was coming in backstage and he was bragging, yo man, I met this person, I met that person, right? And he mentioned my name. So he mentioned my name between Sparky, Spider, and I, we look at each other. So then here it is. When before we was getting on stage, Sparky tapped the guy and say, That's where the He looked at me and ran. He was like, Man ⁓ But you know what I learned? A lot of people don't know that a long time ago there used to be a lot of people who used to be imposters. ⁓ wow. There was a lot of people that was being imposters because if your name starts bubbling as far as not just in hip hop and any dramas or music, or if You know, you can't do as an actor because an actor, you know, you know what a p an actor or actress look like. Yeah, yeah. But you may have a lot of artists that's bubbling, but you never seen what they look like. That's right. So you have five people being apostas. So who knows there was somebody who's so what I I forgot the very first video, but the first unofficial video I was in, I gotta say it's Panic Rap because those are video clips from Grass River Sunday showing me and Jazzy together. But the first video I think that I was in had to create the free years old Okay. Yeah. And after I did that, I learned to take advantage of that because now people can identify who you are. So that was my And you was you was pretty much in every video after that. Now now here's gonna hit now here's a cast twenty two. And I'm not stupid. But I understand this. You want me being your video, but you think I'm gonna play your record. ⁓ Wow, if people was on that? Okay. Wow. Because yeah, when you're in my video then. Wow. I understand. Wow. I respect that. Wow. But there's something that I've been known for for years and years. I still to this day get like this. If I like it, I'm a play. If I don't like it, I'm not gonna play it. So you won't put me in a video love. But don't if I don't like it, I ain't gonna play it. Now some people may not may be looking at this right now and saying, ⁓ you wrong, right? No, no, no, no, no. It's their choice to put me in there, it's my choice of what I'm gonna hear. That's right. Yeah. What I believe in. That's right. Not not wanna hear, but I believe in what I hear. It's been true. You know, I understand the politics we're not playing power tricks on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is. Yeah. Wow. So you got that too. Wow. I never thought about that. That's deep. They can't say, ⁓ let's we're gonna get Red to be in the video and he's gonna play our record. Wow. All right, man, we're gonna we're gonna wrap this up. I didn't even remember that you were. No, no, no, you're good. Hey, let me say let me say this one. Let ⁓ me just before we leave this section. ⁓ what advice would you give the audience? I mean, the new upcomers of today, like the kids who are dropping out of school to become rappers and they wanna be wow You know, instead of staying in school, finish school, I believe they should finish school instead of firing something that might not even work for them. Like why why advice we give the kids up to date? Well, number one, stay in school, everybody, because you've got to understand something. School helped you get knowledge. Because once you get into the field of DJing, rapping, producing, even now as far as dancing or anything behind the scenes as well before the scenes. You can't really step into an establishment called business. You can't step in there with know-how. You not knowing what's going on. How do this go about? How do this happen? How do you take care of paperwork? What is it that you gotta read that makes sense of what you wanna be a part of? School developed you to become into your own. After high school, I'm not gonna tell you to go to college. If you wanna go to college, that's on you. But after high school, then go ahead and take it. Now you can go ahead still be in po in school public school, junior high school, high school, and still develop your skill, what you want to do as a DJ or ⁓ C anything as far as the coastal concern. But you got to learn to have some knowledge to know what you're stepping into. That's right. And that's what it is. That's right. That's right. I got so before we wrap up, I got two things. One is I don't know I never said it to you before, but you was the first for me, you was the first celebrity or famous person that wanted to take a picture with me. And I I had you sign that to I'm not even thinking about it. Like like like I I'm not even thinking about it. We we was in somewhere in New York, I suppose it was it was like a school or something, we did a performance. I it was us Kane and whoever else, but but I remember that because like he was the first celebrity was like, Yo, take a picture with me and I like, It kind of took me back, like, you wanna take a picture with me? And you're And okay, I'm glad we took it. But at the same time, I'm not taking more on my side. I'm gonna knowledge you, you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I I I felt honored. I felt honored. I felt and then I'm let me go to this. I asked everybody that comes. What's what's a crazy story? Like one of the craziest stories that you can tell, whether it be New York, on tour, whatever the case. It's a craziest that you know on the good ones too. Whipple whip. He he knows a lot of different but ⁓ whippa wa wa whipp what was the that was crazy story. Yeah, that was a crazy story. I I had to put my I had to put my head down like I But I'm I'm I'm but check this out. I'm gonna take this away from what I'm known for as far as a D Okay, okay, okay, okay. So there's a supermarket that's on a hundred twelfth Street and Lennox Avenue, not far from where I droop at, right? avenues over, right? Okay. So I'm in there shopping. So a young lady, she works in there and she in love with me. So you know, how how you what you call when everybody trying to ⁓ get your attention. ⁓ man. ⁓ I forgot the name of it, getting your attention. But I was being courteous and talking ⁓ ⁓ man. ⁓ It com it may come to us. I can't think of it right now. It's so simple. It be used all the time and you know, you try to ⁓ impress. Coming to me. So then here it is. She working so after I finished shopping, I'm moving around because I know it's weird that some people I did all the food shopping. Mm. Regardless of who I am. I still do domestic. You see me in the laundry mat, you see me in the grocery store, you see me on the train, I don't care. You know? No, I'm a R N, you know, regular Negro. All right. So so here it is. As I'm finished all that, I'm coming to her to ⁓ to her hour where she ringing up all the food. so after she ring up all the food, then she went and left her left the ⁓ cash register and talking to I guess the the higher up. So then, you know, it's like always had somebody to help you, no, because there's a lot of food.

I said, But if the plane goes back, what's gonna happen? That's all I got one more thing. I know I said okay.

But they gonna look out for my moor. Right. I never took it. They look out for my mower. Automatic. So see, you've been with me all right. I thank you for that. Thank you for that. DBS, let me tell you how I come across being close to him. Because we all was always going to the conventions. And him and his man, Knights. Real cool. They saw me walking down the block on ⁓ what street it was? ⁓ Miami in Miami. I forgot not not not ⁓ not ⁓ I forgot it was a strip where all the clubs is at. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And the first time I ever got to meet him was at a interview up in the Bronx. Tito from the Fearless Four. Yeah, Tito Fearless Four. And him and his father, who was a great friend of mine just as well. And when I got to meet him, it was just organic. Mm. Organic ⁓ how we vibe with each other and build each other into this day. How we still remain who we are amongst each other. A and and I wanna say this, Red, now what you might not have known was that day I met you, I had a I had just came from school and I had a really bad day. I don't know if like the kids were picking on me or something, but I didn't know you were coming. And when I saw you come in and tap my shoulder and how you had that conversation, you actually made that school year a lot better for me. So thank you, Red, for getting me through, you know school and everything. Respect, man. And and you know, I really ⁓ honor him so much because regardless of what his situation is, he have a drive and a passion to do what he does and be and be who he is. Now you ⁓ just knock a let's not let's knock ahead right here. Yeah. See they ain't they ain't give me no shut up money. I'm gonna let you all know right now. Here it is, lot of people don't know that we're all was under the same management one time. River Method. River Method, wow. ⁓ Ron Skola. Shout out Ron Skoler. Ron Skoler and Ed Chaplin. Ed Chaplin, that's right. This is Ron Scholar is my actually my lawyer. Wow. So who was all on that roster was Public Enemy, Hellraiser, True Mathematics, ⁓ ⁓ was leaders of new school when they first came in? Maybe so. Maybe so. ⁓ and and I forgot the other group. But I know both of all y'all mostly was from out there in Long Island. Respect to all the DJs. Son of Berserk. Thank you, man. Get my records back. T A T A DJ stole my record.

B A U, B A ⁓ Dre Delphi University. Yeah, well Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre, you know. ⁓ there. Mr. Bill Mr. Bill, I think was the original hip hop DJ. Yeah, yeah. ⁓ Phil Stephanie, you know. So I got to learn more about them. And the first time I got to really know about Char, I'm gonna tell you, one day, walking down Lennox Avenue on a Sunday morning, that's what Hank Shocky. Okay. What he had in his hand. Was the layout of your logo. He said, Red, you see this? He said this acid to me right early Sunday morning. Be be on the lookout for this. Be on the lookout for this. During the time I was in Union Square, Hank and Chuck came up to Union Square with an acetate. A lot of people don't know what an acetate is. Like a hard plate that she could play a couple of times before it wear out. And they asked me to play right in the middle of my show and I played it. Wow. And then do you remember? I forgot which one. I think it was one of the cuts off the album, the first album. Not public game number one. Huh? Was the public game number one or something else? No, no, no, no, no. Public Enemy one number one was that. But I used to kill that in that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanna go there next, but go ahead. Now, when I actually get to see you all perform for the first time, was in Latin quarters. That's probably the same show I'm thinking about. I think that's the only thing had to be the same one. When actually got to see you play for the first time, I said, Who the is this? So so that's where I was gonna go before I let you go was talk about 'cause I asked Minor, I was like, What where was the main the the main DJ in Latin quarters? So and they used to rock. Lightning quarters used to rock. Man, I mean it was just like Anyway, so When we played there, one of my vividest memories was Melly Mel was in the crowd and he was like, Fuck y'all new fuck y'all new school dry lucky y'all got to movies. ⁓ fuck your luck. Whoa. Mel was so amateur about it that day. I know I remember that. But the but the that's my brother He was saying, Melly Melissa trying to be like FireCon. He he ain't on he isn't he ain't on that no more, but he yeah, God bless Melly. I love you, brother. Yeah, yeah, that's Melly Meryl's Mel. He's another one. He don't hold back, no? But you know what? So what's it like? So what was that like at being a DJ in a being light quarter? That'd be great, man. It was a great thing, man, because there was two people that used to be opening for me. Rest in peace, my man named Snoopy. Okay. Raul too, remember? Raul is the person that used to DJ for the Awesome Two on Celebrity Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For the weekends was Snoopy. And my man that was the drummer for Stessasonic. ⁓ Bobby. Bobby Simmons. Wow. Bobby used to do that at at the quarters. I didn't know that. Kato? Yeah. Who's his other dude they used to open? But this is like maybe like a few months before you came in there. ⁓ if I can't I can't record in there, yeah. I can't record Kato. I remember more of Snoop and Bobby Simmons. Yeah. Because every time I used to come in there, I used to always say, okay, I'm in this room. Let's go to this. And I said, if we go to A and B, I should call Bobby Simmons and Snoopy A and B. But Ra Wu, who I I have respect for, he was the regular DJ for the Austin 2 on Celebrity Tuesdays. Who is the first person that actually played for the first time to the audience? The actually take a South Bronx. Wow. That's a piece, Scott Lavac and Kale Swan came walking in. I was in the booth hanging out with Raul and he would they came and said, Yo, put this on. He put it on for the first time. Went halfway through the place is going crazy. This is when you know, this is when the audience was spontaneous. It wasn't like ain't tight, take time.
