This is probably one of the greatest moments in radio history. Saturday night Kool DJ Red Alert, Chuck Chillout, Marley Marl, and Mr. Cee surprised Flex and honored him for recently being inducted into the New York Radio Broadcasting Hall Of Fame this past Thursday http://www.nysbroadcasters.org/2013/10/hall-of-fame-inductees-for-2013/ For 5 hours you have all the radio legends Flex, Bugsy Red Alert, Chuck Chillout, Marley Marl, Bobby Konders, Jabba, DJ Enuff, Mr. Cee all sharing stories about one another and coming up in the golden era of Hip Hop. MUST LISTEN!

Of course and they still on that lol At the time when Flex first came to Hot 97 (around late 92) it was a dance station. Kiss FM and WBLS, at the time, were the big "urban" radio stations out here that were playing Hip Hop. So it was an uphill battle to come to a dance/freestyle formatted station and be the only one to play Hip Hop at that time. Those listeners and execs at the station weren't reseptive to Rap at the time. But Hot 97 changed its format around Flex. And once the ratings started going up within that year, Hot started to add more Hip Hop to its rotation and by early 94, it turned into a full fledged rap station that you see today.
