PLEASE READ!!!!!!! THIS IS HIP HOP HISTORY
For all my friends who say I'm a pioneer in Hip Hop I have to say no I'm not if you want to see were I learned this craft from who I day dreamed about and wanted to dress like them and wanted to be just like them the coollest cats on the planet see who's the real pioneers of TRUE HIP HOP.
This is the place to come and learn the true history of what is the truth of real Hip Hop cause with out the True School Pioneers there would be no Run Dmc,Big Daddy Kane,Rakim West Coast , Dirty South etc,etc or Hip Hop as we know it.
My friend JayQaun has shown his love for The Foundation the one's who invented it by putting together a website were the true legends are telling the 1st hand accounts of there contribrutions to this art called HIP HOP.
Show some luv to them let them know that there are still loved by all of us and we care about them dearly I know I do for sure. Till the day I leave this planet I'm always gonna show luv and support my True Hero's of Hip Hop ,
Just Click On The Picture And See The History
The Old School Hip Hop Website/ Message Board Check It Out Much Knowledge
And you never who's on the board. We discuss hip hop prior to 1986 but we talk about everything in the lounge area so feel to come and kick it there also the pioneers come through and drop science there as well it's gonna be the sureshot so see you in the place to be!

Hello Friends,
THE BEGINNING 1965-1979
Trenton ,NJ is between NYC & Philly it's a small town but we hectic!!
I was born March 28,1965 in Trenton ,NJ grew up in West Trenton had hopes and dreams of becoming a NFL football player but that didn't pan out so I became a Dj.
I've been a hip hop dj the past 26 years. It was there that I learned to love the Hip Hop Music by going up to NYC and down to Philly spending summers with my aunts,uncles and many cousins thanks for raising me up and giving me knowledge But my biggest exposure to music is my mother I would sit in the front pew of our church as a child from sun up to sun down watching her play the piano I would beat on the tamborine .
1979 Undefeated Trenton Central High School Freshmen 6-0 I'm 56

This is What I Want To Do Years 1980-1986
After hearing Bronx style Hip Hop I was hooked for life. I would come back to Trenton and represent what I saw in New York so if ever the hip hop pioneer legends would come down they would be at home it took a minute but it caught on there were few that brought it to Trenton besides me and I give them much respect DJ's, MC's and crews like Dj Fatha Ramzee , Dj Speed, Dj Father Shahee , Dj Zaire, Dj D Magic ,Dj Juice , Dj Plexx , Dj Tony D, Dj L, Dj Swell, God Squad, Duke,Kevie Kev,Troy da Wonderboy and Pat Love from Philly aka Duke Productions ,Master Wee aka King Funk Disco, Psycotic Jet Muscles ,Tiny Tim, 007. But the Godfather is Dj Kenny"Trentons Kool Herc"Veal he had parties going on all over Trenton. The Mighty Mc's Johnny C & Brother Radee was my 1st mc's group Wize (PRT) and my dj crew The Def City Crew my cousin Joe " Rock The House Shock" Robinson & Mixmaster Kid a branch of the Capitol City Playboys And many more brothers and sister's.
In This Era I was Known As GrandWizard Dj Ready Red
Out of respect 4 Grand Wizzard Dj Theodore I stopped being the GrandWizard and became Dj Ready Red
Art Armstrong Bronx Promoter would book me were I worked Capitol Roller Rink 1985
The Capitol Roller Rink in South Trenton ,New Jersey was the spot after making some contacts Art Armstrong a Bronx promoter started bringing down shows through this I learned first hand from the Hip Hop Legends.
Cold Crush Bros ,Trecherous Three , Rockmaster Scott & The Dynamic Three , LL Cool J ,Mc Shan , Mikey Dee & The Symbolic 3 , Sparky D @ Dj Red Alert, Ready For The World ,The Showstopper's aka Salt n Pepa , Divine Sounds , Sweet Trio & Jazzy Joyce, Dj Whiz (rip) and many more

My 1st Hip Hop Group The Mighty Mc's Prince Johnny C & Brother Radee
Before I left Trenton ,NJ I would spend alot time in New Brunswick & Plainfield, NJ because my girl moved away but went to see her without fail. I have very fond memories of the love that her mother, sisters and her one brother gave to me! Can't forget about her Aunt n Uncle and the two boys. I owe alot to them
I lost the best thing I ever had if I could go back to the exact time and never had a music career I would do it faster than lightning! Make sure if you want something you know what you may lose.And after 20 years I'm blessed to have her back in my life !

The Dirty South Foundation Years 1987-1991
I moved to Houston ,Tx in 1987 and hooked up with a record company called Rap-A-Lot and the rest is history. I was a full member Dj/Producer of the rap group "Geto Boys" from 1987-91 You can find my work on Making Trouble which is the 1st time the world heard Scarface samples I'm the 1st to sample that movie,Grip It On That Other Level which put H-Town on the map which is one of my favorites The Geto Boys mugshot album that Rick Ruben remixed and I did not recieve credit on We Can't be Stopped but I'm the 1st one you hear on there.

Dear Ready Red aka "Mr. COMIN' AT YA'" aka DJ Riz-eady Riz-ed, EVERYBODY!
Don't lie. If you're like me (which you are)...then there's no way in HELL you can get behind something when you think there's money involved.
Well, I just want to take a second to let everyone know that money is NOT an issue with my GOSPEL GIRL MOVIE. If you read the "GOSPEL GIRL ENCOURAGEMENT" section at the bottom right corner of my site, you'll see that the only person who really stands to make money/get rich off that movie is Michael Bay.
And he's already rich. So who cares!
Bottom line: I really need some of my old school MySpace friends to read that ENCOURAGEMENT section and help me out by calling the number listed and then commenting back on site. Without some old school MySpace help, I ain't never going to get that movie off the ground.
And that's the truth.
PS: I'm sorry if I'm soaking too much screen-space, but I thought it might help to show a picture of the guys I have listed above. Be sure to call em' up and show em' love. And oh yea GIRLS, Chris is single!!!
