My brother, Terron, was on your panel recently talking about Hip Hop artists in the '00s.</p><p>You took me back as well. There was another station, NYC's WHBI, home of the World Famous Supreme Team Show. I had a JVC 550 boombox (radio/cassette palyer with the 12" woofer, tweeter and midrange) and it would pick up radio stations from NYC (WBLS 107.5, Kiss FM 98.7, WHBI and Original 'KTU 92.3) VA (WOWI), Bmore V103, Philly (Power 99 and WDAS) at night. That radio was cool and it took 8 'D' size batteries.</p><p>One of my favorite college stations from the early 80's was Seton Hall's WSOU. The 90's belonged to Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito. They were rocking the hottest hip hop cuts on WKCR 89.9 FM from then unknowns such as Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan and Nas to name a few.</p><p>The NY radio stations would have special mixes of popular songs for their stations. Shep Pettibone, remixer and former Madonna colloborator, was the resident supplier of the Kiss Master Mixes.</p><p>Frankie Crocker on the rival, WBLS, had exclusive mixes as well.<br>He would bring back music from London and he would break new songs from Soul II Soul's Vol. II: 1990 - A New Decade, Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy".</p><p>Other NY remixers were Timmy Regisford, John Robinson and many others. AC's WAYV 95.1 had DJ Charlie Bucci (aka Charlie Buck-eye) Those Deejays made me love radio during that period.</p><p>I do not listen as much anyone. I actively look for new music from the internet specially the UK R&amp;B and House Music Scene. There are so many international and domestic artists being slept on in the US by big corporation's so-called "Urban" stations. I miss old school radio.
