Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito 20th Anniversary Reunion Show On WKCR (10/22/10)
Oct 22nd
The show was meant to finish at 5am, but they ended up running to 6am, so this is a quick turnaround.
WKCR’s live stream is a weak 24K Mono joint. I grabbed all the audio, normalized the volume, and made it stereo, because I’m a nice guy.
It was weird hearing a ‘new’ show that wasn’t coming off a tape, but it was equally weird that this was actually the first time I got to hear Stretch & Bob on KCR live, as opposed to a month down the line on a Maxell that winged its way over the Atlantic to me.
Anyway, the show was dope – classic bits and pieces of music, but you mostly want to listen to this for the general tomfoolery. There is NO other show before or since with as much clowning… and since clowning is the forgotten 46th element of Hiphop, this is a MUST LISTEN.

Back in the saddle, after almost a month missing in action. Of course, the week that I come back, E-Zone takes a break, so its 2 hours of Stess and me as opposed to Stess, with me and Mr Dominican Threat splitting the duties on the turntables.
