nobody on this site can fukk with me when it comes to my Stretch Armstrong collection

[Chinkyize]

OH sh!t...what up chinky
What Up Kao happy belated St. patricks Day

I got a old tape from the Martin Moore Show aroun 93 on NYU that showcased Tragedy bringing up Capone & NORE for the first time to play their DEMO....And they were cursing like sh*t and Martin Moore had to tell them to stop...This was maybe a only a couple of weeks after Capone and Nore hooked up to be a group and then later on they were featured in the UNSIGNED HYPE column of the SOURCE....The DEMO song was WACK though...lol

[fcara]

Yo I had to come out of RETIREMENT for this thread...even if I do get caught and get FIRED

This show has been brought to you by

Bobbito & Sear: *yellin* "TAINING CAMP"

LOL @ Stretch always dissin the FILL-IN DJ, DJ Homicide callin him HOMOCIDE...And Sear crackin on BOB about his HAIRLINE and BOB crackin on SEAR bout his weight and BAD BREATH

Thats my ngga a real tru 2 life hiphop junkie, layin his rep n job on da line 4 da realllllllllllllllllllllllllll............. hiphop!

YO Chink it hasnt been the same man, figure out a way 2 trick the system, we need u 2 rep, u Capo status on this board

[Chinkyize]

Yo SHIGGS didn't u GET WIT Martin Moore's EX-GIRL and tap dat arse back in the day ?

[galvatron]

sun we need to talk BI, u literally got the whole NYC undergound history on tape, ngga start pumpin those tapes like its 88, n get these nggz addicted to that crack.

Im still waitin 4 Ralp McDaniels 2 release all his shows on DVD, I stay tellin that ngga he sittin on a gold mine, they dont get how big the demand is 4 real hiphop especially old school

My other wish, Yo! MTV Raps n Rap City get put on DVD season by season, then I can go to heaven, officially the rite way

Yo Galv, tell me u got videos of the shows from TV, say word.

channle 31 with a fukked up reception because brooklyn aint get cabelvision until 94(well the bedsty section I was in)I taped videos religiously once I got cable but i now mosty buy hiphop classics on DVD

let me tell you how much I used to tape..........I did not start buying CDs until 2000..all my hiphop is on cassette until 2000.

I have since transfered everything to cd buy dowloading an **** but if you ever saw my hiphop collection it would all be cassette.I stopped tapeing like a fiend when stretch left hot 97 in early 2002

[fcara]

One of the HUMBLE moments of the show was when the FUGEES had already sold DIAMOND and Wylef passe by 89tech9 to show love to Stretch and Bob at like 2A.M. cuz after artists blew up they never came back

Galv I don't know if I have more tapes than u of the show but I can give u a run for ya money...I would never stream it online cuz alotta cats dont deserve it...They dont know the struggle of stayin up from 1-5 pausing and unpausin your tape to record that GEM

Remember when Strectch played AFFIRMATIVE ACTION...He only had it on MINI DISC and when he played it everyone went wild...It blew out his mini disc player and speakers...

I got that show on tape classic moment, remembers Bob playin Nas in May of 96 with the Foulness freestyles and was unimpressed and let almost every caller call n diss Nas cuz he sold out, the nerds were heated that night

[galvatron]

classin moment AUG 96 stretch plays drop a gem on em for the first time an I spazz out I call my homie to see if he is listening an he is we was like mobb deep is the greatest...fukk pac

[hedake]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're the first person I know who even remembers that song being played. Like I said, I have a distorted copy on tape. So incredibly dope.

That sample is from "lady in my life," trust me. He loops the part in the song when MJ says "meet me in paradise, now is the time." If you EVER find it on MP3 you have to let me know. YOU HAVE TO. And just because you've been searching for that song just like I have, I promise you, I'll PM you if I ever get a hold of this sh1t!


um..i remember this song too...easy...unfortunately i didnt like it so i doubt i have it still...but another gem that i still got from them is hurricane g feat redman & e. sermon -milky...

Oh sht I got that its on J Love Best of Nore, the beat is ill sun, that when they were rhymin like Biggie about all the riches n material sht, let me find that real quick, Pone killed it tho.

Ironic that Martin Moore went on to manage Nore

[AKee1981]

I have a few of these shows on tape too. Natural Elements always ended up being the best guests, even when they moved to Hot 97.

[galvatron]

I got that show on tape classic moment, remembers Bob playin Nas in May of 96 with the Foulness freestyles and was unimpressed and let almost every caller call n diss Nas cuz he sold out, the nerds were heated that night
remeber when I called bobbito an asked why he dont play lost boys an he said cause I dont feel them at all an this was when they was mad popular.......there was this caller who used to steal other peoples rhymes an pass them off as his own

[jayshiggs]

Yo SHIGGS didn't u GET WIT Martin Moore's EX-GIRL and tap dat arse back in the day ?


Ya, my mans from Cali stayed at NYU housing one summer (1994 or 95' too much weed do not recall) and she lived in his building. I fooled around w/ her, I didn't fukk though.

Galvy what was yer MC name?! You ever put out a record indie or otherwise?
lol

[galvatron]

between 96-99 Natural E was great guest but not the best .there are so many classic moments....in 1994 I thought artifact were the best guest.

[jayshiggs]

Who remembers Grand Ghetto Communicator freestyles. This dude was so hood he was against recording actual records he just wanted to freestyle on radio shows. lol

[fcara]

Yo truth be told Bob really fcked up the show cuz he was into Finesse, Big L, Nas back in the day n then around 95 he started changin when all these wack space nggz destroed the underground, reminds me of Cormega dissin these same type of cats who r still trin 2 get on today n callin them non-hiphop

Undrgound hiphop is Main Source, DITC, Mega, Royal FLush, not all these fake rock nggz tryin 2 find a new hobby

If the undergound would have stayed like it was we would have more Nas's, Jay's, BIG's......

its like the minors 4 da majors

c/s bobbito ruined the show because he became bitter about the state of hiphop to the point where he hated what stretch was playing.........bobbito was an is a die hard Roots an blackthought fan...there was a period in 96 when they played sections by the roots every goddamn week

AL is dope to. House of Reps! Him Words and Absolut ripped it one Rock Steady. First one in the BX after they stopped it at GOAT park I believe..
No doubt, I did not get on the Girbaud bandwagon until 90, 91' NYC styles took time to trickle up to Mt. Vernon. We were wannabe NYCers. lol

I remember my first pair of Girbauds. I bought a pair of dark green skinny cowboys, not knowing what the fukk i was doing. I wore them once maybe, i just assumed they were all baggy, but boy was i wrong. Its cool though, after that i started getting right, going to Urban Outfitters in the village, and this other store a few blocks down (i forget the name right now, but it was a block or two further down along Broadway, and right next to a gas station. I'm sure cats who was copping their Girbaud's in the village been there.

[jayshiggs]

necro ,EL P an all those other white rappers that sucked

2 people are what makes up all of wack 'space niccaz'? OK.
And Necro doesn't rhyme about space he rhymes about gore and horror shyt.
And tell just Blaze to stop sharking El P's samples if it is nerd nonsense.

[SUGEKNIGHTJR.]

I bet you ain't got the show with BIG DADDY'S KANE b-day party where he got dissed by ILL SCRATCH "you girl must have bust your cherry right, cause nowadays you think you barry white"...

Classic show it had everybody on thier freestyling..STRETCH broadcasted it over the air.

[hedake]

Who remembers Grand Ghetto Communicator freestyles. This dude was so hood he was against recording actual records he just wanted to freestyle on radio shows. lol

i got a ryme where he was naming all the superheros and he was fighting them...sh*t was like 10 minutes long

[Walt Frazier]

who remembers when stretch played the lil' kim song dissing Pac???? It was that "tough walk tough talk sh1t is tired" joint, but no jay-z and she had this verse like "just shut up too bad you got wet up maybe next time you'll [Pac voice]keep your head up[/Pac Voice].

Then when it ended up on her album that verse was cut.

[SUGEKNIGHTJR.]

i can't hate on BOBBITO though, it got to a point where the underground got polluted with CRACK and GAT emcees, i.e cormega , nore and half a mill

Remember that's when they start nicknaming the station THUG FM aka 89 TEC 9

[mic majestic]

I got so much hate in my heart for y'all nyggas who have those Stretch and Bob tapes in the stash LOL. Y'all need to hook up with a dude from around your way who knows how to work the transfer from tape to computer and start hooking up the tape rips. I mean i would assume there are even people on here willing to pay for shyt like this. I know a few joints i'm looking for that i will never get an mp3 for... Some Tony Bones joints, some rare Kool Keith, Godfather Don, even Cage back in the day, but most of his old stuff you can get off the net. All those crazy off the head freestyle sessions with the artists... mad ill songs that were never to be heard again...
Does anybody have the joint where Cormega came to the station mad pissed, shytting on the Firm after he got dropped? I'm not exactly sure if he came down, or called in..

"fuk dat sh*t imma come out my face

aint nobody iller than the cemetery filler
priliminary killer, straight to the point Vanilla
his name is ice, but if i bumrush
imma beaat that azz down and his name will be slush..."

the rhyme was actually dissing vanilla ice but aloty of the stuff he was saying apllied to kane! plus he was drunk

That nicca was crazy with it! I got him w/ Cage he is changing his voice for different characters in his rhyme and shyt. It's fukkin' crazy!

[Scuba]

I cant really cosign the Bob destroyed the show, or that stretch carried the show.... because honestly what made it hot at its peak was that they played ALL rap, they played the thug joints, they played the lyrical joints, they played the comic joints... over time as they started to split... I really didnt enjoy either of their solo shows, Bob played WAY to much different just to be different hip hop, but Stretch also was not even trying to just play "hard hip hop" he literally was on some I spend 90% of the show playing hardcore queensbridge grime rap, i mean he really focused on just one particular branch of rap even moreso than bob...

basically they started having agendas, bob to save hiphop, stretch to put his team on, instead of just trying to play good music...

I got some cage **** from 1992 where is says some sh1t like "not christian latener but im living like a duke"it was so ill...so ill that I aint know cage was white for years until some one mentioned it..every mc you named I have on tape freestyleing..Bobbito loved him some godfather don an kool keith an grim

[Walt Frazier]

Yeah Stretch produced that, that's why he had it!

yeah, I called up the show after he aired it, I was like "damn, this beef is getting out of hand." Word to my mother, Stretch went off for like 3 minutes on a rant about how much he hated Pac!

[AKee1981]

between 96-99 Natural E was great guest but not the best .there are so many classic moments....in 1994 I thought artifact were the best guest.
Mr Voodoo, L Swift and A Butta >>>>> Tame One and El de Sensai

Natural E destroyed it EVERYTIME

Rodimus would love this post!

[Diggy_Dat_Niggy]

Came into the thread because it makes me remember my trips to ny in the 90s and listening to the radio, realizing how different the radio is between NY and Florida at that time. I remeber bringing my walkman just to listen to the radio, turning it on and hearing Brandy and channel Live on the same track, to this day I have never heard it again anywhere.

*Misses falling asleep on the floor listening to the radio*

Mr Voodoo, L Swift and A Butta >>>>> Tame One and El de Sensai

TRUTH

A. Butta was that dude!

Yeah I got that Mega shyt. He straight dissed Chris Lighty for an hour. lol

I want to be properly compensated for giving this shyt to others as well as all involved. The artists, Stretch, Bob, Sear not sure how to do it without fukkin' up $ distro or breaking the law over copyright shyt. As you said shyt is in demand. Trust I have given this much thought before.

[mic majestic]

Mr Voodoo, L Swift and A Butta >>>>> Tame One and El de Sensai

Natural E destroyed it EVERYTIME

Thats wasn't even Natural E's line-up back when Artifacts was popping....
all variations of Natural E did their thing when they came down to a radio station... but so did Cella Dwellas. Matter fact i think the Dwellas were iller back then.

[galvatron]

well all true fans knew that when bob came up without stretch he would just play tapes an have guests but when stretch came with him all new bangers would be played that night...when they started doing the KCR show seperately Stretch show was 100 percent better than BOBS..Bobbito became what sohh is right now.

[jayshiggs]

Are you white jay, cuz u know i respect ya as a hed but I notice u take that backpack space cadet sht serious....

No I'm Black, but out of the 2 sides of Hip
Hop we are fight over I'm more into the so called space nonsense.

cant cosign, I mean I agree bob was on some "nerd rap" steez eventually, but Stretch, his show was ass too... dude was not playing nothing BUT queenbridge music, and that one beanie seagle joint he played at the start of every show on hot97... honestly they really fukked up cuz neither of them could maintain the magic they had as a team when they went independent...

Remember that's when they start nicknaming the station THUG FM aka 89 TEC 9

naah thunn that was the name way back in 92 93

what some of u nngz dont recall is that the show started in 90 n Bob was a big fan of the thug sht that started around 92 with Onyx, Live Squad, Kool G Rap... all the way thru 93 where it got real gangsta that was like NYC was tryin 2 compete with the Menace II Society scene on the West Coast

I got on tape Bob biggin up Fat Joes's 1st song, him lovin G Rap who at da time was doin hits on wax execution style.

That gangsta sht was there 4 a while, 90, 91 was when it was all freestyle n Tribe LONS type sht with Black Sheep

92 was when u had Cypress Hill n WU start to come with gritty grimey sht

Lets not forget Black Moon who basically set off the Kill u ngga die slow sht with that BK grimey sht, Bob love all that sht

I think he got old hung out in da vill too long n got influenced by them wheirdos like those Fat Beat nggz

[galvatron]

Natural E also had a female at one point named the elementress.They had huge huge potential.a butta was just a lyrical dude.Mr Voodoo was the weakest an L swift had the best voice.

I think they both were kinda wack without each other. But both were good for each side of the spectrum, cause their shows were still underground acts, and still focused on exclusives and artist freestyles.
But yeah, i feel like Bob became too much of a "hater", and Stretch became too "trendy".

[fcara]

who remembers when stretch played the lil' kim song dissing Pac???? It was that "tough walk tough talk sh1t is tired" joint, but no jay-z and she had this verse like "just shut up too bad you got wet up maybe next time you'll [Pac voice]keep your head up[/Pac Voice].

Then when it ended up on her album that verse was cut.

Stretch produced that n the joint for Big Noyd that he played 4 like a year straight, the remix joint, Suspect or some sht like that

Stretch had some nice beats

Remembers Bob goin on n on about Rosario Dawson that one year that he supposedly hit.
