Last night, on NYC\u2019s Hot 97 FM, Funkmaster Flex and Kool DJ Red Alert (with some help from Mister Cee) did something truly special for everyone. Essentially, it was a real history lesson\u2026almost a complete reenactment\u2026with Flex stating that he was playing records that ONLY Red Alert broke (whether in the clubs or on radio). He was genuinely going off the deep end in every good way possible, cuttin\u2019 up the funk and disco breaks that became roller rink and b-boy anthems, to droppin\u2019 the \u201986-\u201987 joints that practically shut down Union Square, Latin Quarter, and the Roof Top in Harlem. Incredibly entertaining play-by-play commentary by Uncle Red, Flex, and Cee\u2026with highlights such as:
\n-which DJ\u2019s would do a particular record the dirtiest with the cuts
\n-the different crews of the time (i.e. the 5-man army known as original The Violators)
\n-who was gettin\u2019 stomped out when shit like \u201cGo Stetsa\u201d was played
\n-how Flex, at one point, was worried that he was in line for an automatic beatdown since he never carried much paper on him
\n-Biz gettin\u2019 boo\u2019ed for doing the \u201cBiz dance\u201d
\n-the whole \u201cThe Bridge\u201d versus \u201cSouth Bronx\u201d story<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
