And now for the moment you all have been waiting for. This weeks download comes
from the most influential dj in hip hop history...KOOL DJ RED ALERT. You may be
asking youself what does Red Alert have to do with mixtapes. Well in the 80's
you weren't in the loop if you didn't have a tape of Red Alerts show from 98.7
kiss fm. I'm originally from Washington, D.C.,and everyone in D.C. has a
cousin from New York. Dubbed copies of Red's show would end up in D.C.
two days after the actual live airing.
What made Red's show so dope? Why was he so important to Hip Hop radio? Maybe
because he supported some of the biggest names in Hip Hop(BOOGIE DOWN
PRODUCTIONS,THE NATIVE TONGUES MOVEMENT,DJ MARK THE 45 KING,ULTRAMAGNETIC MC'S).
Or maybe because he had more flavor than a pack of now and laters. You couldn't
front on Red's personality,his drops were dope and he had custom made songs that
ended up becoming underground classics(BAIT//ULTRAMAGNETIC MC'S & THE TR 808 IS
COMING//BDP). All in all Red is to Hip Hop radio as Micheal Jordan is to
basketball. Argue with me if you want but no dj means more to hip hop radio the
KOOL DJ RED ALERT. Download now and thank me later.

When you talk about mixtapes you have to include radio shows as well. I'm not
sure what it was like in any other city,but a copy of a new york hip hop radio
show was more than worth its weight in gold. Thanks to my man Al Lindstrom,I got
my hands on this classic Kid Capri tape from WBLS.
The tape was recorded in the early 90's,92 I believe. After listening to this
tape I can clearly see the difference between 98.7 KISS and WBLS. Although 'BLS
had the better stable of dj's,KISS had more personality on the air. It had to be
hard as hell for Red Alert to compete against Marley Marl,Mr. Magic,Pete
Rock,Kevy Kev,Clark Kent,Kid Capri and Ron G. Kid Capri has mad personality,by
this time he was murdering HBO'S DEF COMEDY JAM. But on the radio the powers that
be wouldn't let his personality shine. When you listen to the mix you will
hear very few drops to signify who is rocking. Regardless of that,the value is
actually owning a rare Kid Capri WBLS radio mix...
