“Nas looked like a kid..but when he spoke what came out of his mouth was like that of a 700 year old wizard” That’s Nas…clever and skillfull!

damn i would love to hear nas and pun on the same track again,but i member stretch and bob every other thursday they help lotta people shine that nobody new at that time ,that everyone knows now tho,someone needs to put together a song with nas big pun and em on the last verse on a track wonder how that would sound..word nigaz would record that show and the next day they we would play it in our wips and we had to turn down the treble cause of all the static on the tape cause that station was hard to get.ha peace

DJ Stretch Armstrong and Bobito r legends to 90’s hiphop culture. i wish i could get tapes ( i guess maybe cd’s or mp3’s now…lol) of the show from like 94-97. ( on a side note i just said tapes and thought of this funny story , my girls lil brother is like 13 and one day he was helping me clean out my attic and i was going through all my old music boxes and i showed him a casset. he’s like “wtf is this?” 1. i never felt old before that moment. 2. i guess i know how it felt for some one to show me an a-trak and have me give them that look of utter amazement. moving on , i was like it’s a tape , it holds sound. then i had a few 60 minute tapes and he laughed his ass off at me. but not as hard as when i showed him my old walkman…times r a changen…

had no idea that the stretch and bobbito show was CU radio thats really cool.. crazy how these institutions of higher education were just as influential to this movement as the streets were.. my boy goes to harvard and was telling me about drops he’s found from mad people including Inspectah Deck and Eazy-E from the 90s for harvard radio haha

I love this! As a Columbia alum myself GO LIONS! I grew up on WKCR music and Stretch is one of my music heros the dude was so monumental in breaking so many NYC hip-hop legends how can you not respect the guy, and Cool bob is just that the coolest person I’ve ever met, he’s always in the L.E.S. the man is just the epitome of New York City.
