Red Alert is one my GOAT's.
This dude helped so many legends get their careers off the ground, it's not even funny. I remember Q-Tip saying that Red Alert was the only one that would play ATCQ records on NY radio. He said he was up there beggin' Tip to bring him the demos, saying people needed to hear that shyt.
He really had the best ear for music back then, and is one of the most humble people you'd ever meet. If allowed, Red will do this until he dies. That's real Hip Hop right there! I don't respect many people, as much as I do him, in music.

the amount of disprespect for legends these days is shameful

on each other, drop out of school, go to prison, and this has trickled down into hip hop. In other forms of music, the forefathers are fully respected by the younger generation. Eg Rolling Stones. Many of our people come from broken homes and families with no fathers. Thus many of us never had a father to teach us how to respect elders, let alone ourselves.
