Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito, 'KCR 10.28.93"We put this out as a limited edition CD a while back, but I figured I may as well put it up for those that don't have it. This show was a big deal for me because Nas, who already was a legend to us back then, spit over a beat I had made that day. It was unfinished and muddy, but he liked it, and for like two days I was on cloud nine. Nas always had fun coming up to the show, and it's apparent. On the same show, Big L passed through...Rapper Nas and Big L in one show...not bad..." stretch armstrong

"KCR and Anna Nicole Smith
Here's some 4:30 a.m. banter with Bob, Benji and Lord Sear. I think I'm half asleep, drooling on a turntable. Must be 1993"...stretch

I recommend this post for anyone that is feeling a bit down. Listen to it, and within 10 mins, you will be laughing, guaranteed. If you aren't, go see the doctor. I haven't reviewed many shows in their entirety, but this episode of Krunchtime (what we came to call the 4-5 a.m. slot, when we were too tired to dj, focus, or be anything but delirious, and usually opened the phone lines to anyone) seems to embody the very best of what we could come up with under the circumstances. Just leading up to this, where this post begins, you can hear the tail-end of a Red Alert tape from the 80's that I was playing on the air because I was too tired to dj, plus it just was cool to broadcast a 1980's NYC radio show in the 90's, in NYC. Must have had some people bugging to turn on the radio and hear a KISS-FM radio ID, ON 89.9. Juicy Fruit gum - the taste is gonna move you!
"Listening to this segment makes me remeember how foul we were to the listeners, but they liked it. And I'm bugging on how in sync Sear, Bob and I were. A lot of the things we were doing on the air sounds planned but none of it was. We were just in the zone. Enjoy the following: listeners freestyling and getting dissed, listeners trying to diss but getting slayed, some yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo speed demonstrations, me rapping about snacks, the concentration clappping song about...snacks ("nuts" ayo!) and teaching someone how to improve his mother joke delivery. Joisus Bobby!!!"...stretch

"So I was just on the radio in New York City again for DJ Eclipse's 9 Year Anniversary show on WNYU. In addition to Kool Bob Love showing up, to my surprise, my man MC Serch did as well. I have to get on a plane in a few minutes, so I'll keep ths brief for now, but let me just say that with these two chaps, it felt like it was 1990- the timing, the jokes, the fun. Safe to say, we could have taken up the whole show just talking smack, but there were beats and rhymes to be had kids!!! So we dipped, though I think Serch did spark the mic a bit. Thankfully, Bobbito did not. Incidentally, Serch was our guest on our second show ever on November 8, 1990! Additionally, Two Kings In A Cipher, fresh out of Howard University, showed up (do I have to explain?- just google it) and a live rhyme session ensued over old school break beats provided by yours truly (I wasn't even Stretch yet, haha!...DJ Adrian, Skinny Bonz, what's it gonna be???!!...whoa). Some very entertaining lines were spit and the energy was trumungous. The next day, as I sat at Def Jam, I played the tape over and over, just loud enough for anyone walking by to hear so I could explain that yes, finally, we were on the air. This tape will be posted...hmmm, just looked through the files...I take that back. I will have to find it, but I know it's here somewhere. In the meantime, get down with this- Serch a la 1986 doing his best Slick Rick/Dana Dane impression (but the flow is already impeccable). Shout to pioneer Tony D."
