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

[hedake]

more memories:

the all-freestyle show when they played a tape of nothing but freestyles then premiered a track by this "new ill kid" called big L -devils son!

artie fuqua always showing up and getting dissed..same with king emz..and benny

artifacts and TOTAL PACK freestyles

anytime cage and/or necro showed up...

callers calling into freestyle..they say 2 bars and sear starts making loud farting noises to drown them out

kool g rap calling up and playing his song with mf grimm over the phone( i think it was for that aids awareness album...and then kool g rap and sear snapping on each other

remember when they would get tired and sign off early cuz luckily the "jazz man" was there!!

they had another show that came on briefly on tuesdays from 1 to 5 that played hip hop as well as original samples...it was d.j.ed by the guy that was the cashier at footwork...cant remember his name

and of course the countless freestyles...

[AKee1981]

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 can still barely tell the difference between A Butta and L Swift. They sound almost exactly alike.

Wha?? Voodoo was the illest. He sounded like KRS, but just with a stern speaking tone, no variations in his delivery.
L-Swift was so sharp with the rhyme schemes that you almost didn't notice it.

[galvatron]

anybody remeber bobbitos short lived basketball show named trash talk???????

i thought that female mc was named Essence...

[QUOTE=fcara]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

YO... do you have his "Episodes of a Hustla" remix???? It never came out, it samples from that song "Changes" (the one that goes "thats just the way it is"... then has the piano part). That shyt is still stuck in my mind after all these years.

[mic majestic]

i thought that female mc was named Essence...

I know she changed her name b4 or after she left Natural E... but maybe there were two females. I remember some chick named Spider for some reason, but i think i'm wrong. There a guy that post here who would know supposedly... lol

[fcara]

I think back there were so many good 12" that were played only on that station that we will never hear again, the fcked up sht is I don't know the artist or da title of the song, I do rember so good ones from some Brooklyn cats in like 96, like 3 different ones, one was the Tried by 12, Carried by 6 joint that Biggie used for I gotta Strory to Tell

Remembers Havoc up there with the ASR playin the Infamous straight from the machine

AKinelyle was a classic character on that show, he had some of the illest freestyles, Stretch supported him hard

akinelyle an G rap have a classic song together break a b1tch neck

[jayshiggs]

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...

C/S
They were a great mix together but apart they both suffered. Just like EPMD. lol

[ill mic]

that was SKi and that was the Cooley High Remix, sick indeed, it might be on 12" overseas, illest melodic beat I ever heard in my life.

The sample is from Paradise, thats what the loop was sayin, its a slow MJ record from like 87, 88

I been lookin 4 an MP3 copy 4ver, that came out in 97, they played it 1nce on 89.1 WNYU


here's a treat for y'all cats fiending for that remix. it was ill enough to make one of my slept on gems compilations that i made awhile ago and here's an mp3 of it.


Camp Lo - Coolie High Remix

[mic majestic]

I remember they played either "Mister Mister" by G Rap
or "Break a Bytch Neck" by Akinyele and G Rap (in response to the Source chick dissing Akinyele), and they were like, yooooo, this is too foul for us to play this ever again.

Nah not that one... thats on the Ep... its an unreleased remix of "Episodes of a Hustla"

[jayshiggs]

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


I did not know Cage or El P were white for a couple of years until I went to a show. My jaw dropped.

[Nabs]

stretch has a show in chicago now, right? whats bobbito doing? he put out Dooms album and then said he wouldn't put out an album unless it was better than that... so he just stopped?

[Chinkyize]

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.
Another Martin Moore CLASSIC....I got TAPES when A-BUTTER would call the show up from ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY cuz he was studying for finals...He would call every showand freestyle and one day NE was in the studio I think it was L-Swift, Obsession, and a couple of others Charlamagne and they told him to come down to the studio and thas how he hooked up with them by rhyming over the phone every show and callin....

Yeah i remember some caller requesting Hey Mr Mister at the end of the show he played it on and Stretch telling him he can't play it anymore and them getting into a big argument.
Stretch was like, "I know it seems like we can play whatever we want up here but we really can't."

[Boricua's Bond]

whats bobbito doing?
Put out that book, dvd, magazine I believe

Dropped a compilation a while back that has some gems (not hip hop) but suffers overall

Also Fruitmeat Records - dropped the HEAVENLY Vinia Mojica 12", Spanish Harlem Orchestra's La Banda (which I NEED), and some other ish.

"Feel like I'm stuck in this shyt, sold y'all a bucket of shyt, even Bobbito said fukk it I quit!"
He isn't too involved in the music anymore. He does his column for vibe recently wrote a sneaker book, and is putting out a street ball magazine. He also is spokesperson for EA Sports like streetball game or whatever.

I think they both actually doing well for themselves, I know at one point in the late 90s stretch was one of the most well paid DJs in the world, while bob wasnt really going places, now bob seems to have really made a niche for himself in the sneaker/streetball marketing realm...

[Art Barr]

In the entire decade of the 90s I taped 89.9 every thursday faitfully from 1-5AM.I would put 1 hour cassettes an stay up until 3 in the morning tapeing then fall asleep tapeing the last hours......there is no great NYC mc that I dont have ripping it up before they blew up.When I went away to college I would have my little brother tape it for me.I have a collection second to none.Bobbito likes the wierd garbage spaced out MCs.the best shows was when it ws just stretch because he played banger after banger...you always knew stretch was gonna play some brand new sh1t from you fav artist that you never heard before.I would go to the rock steady anniversaries every year an all these white boys would have they tapes playing out they radio .thinking they had iller sh1t than me but I would always have a tape that no ne else had because I taped everything...even those wack as$ call up freestyle bobbito would let the callers do at the end of the show.When stretch got a show at hot 97 in 1996 I tape all his shows until 2001.

no one on this site has an iller tape collection of boogie an the barber 89.tek 9 than me.

plays classic artifacts freestyle over the fuggees nappy heads remix an laughs cause no one on sohh has ever even heard the freestyle.


uh, yeah........i have. this freestyle was recorded after the busta rhymes, and classic tame one verse on the remix to get on the get down.

listens to the tame & busta classic verses


Ha.......ha.haha

Bob is my man, he just bought a dope apartment in Harlem. Bobbito is about his paper he just never flaunts it. He has more than a couple of hustles. I was never cool with Stretch at all. Last time i saw him was at Beanie's album release party for 'The Reason' kicking it to some PR girl. lol Stretch best DJ venue, he repped hard at El Flimingo in mid to late 90s.

[Art Barr]

I hear u dawg,these youngins wont undastand what Stretch Armstrong brought to the game. I;d like to get hold of that freestyle when Qtip brought Madskills for the first time and he blacked out! thats some serious collection there mang


yeah, that madskillz joint was crazy,..............i still remember hearing that. didn't they just start off with the verses to the song on skillz album, that they completed.

[fcara]

he hit Rosario Dawson or its just bs?

I jus noticed son was in da 3rd Bass vid lookin craZY

[galvatron]

Ha.......ha.haha
did you hear KRS with supernat an Lord finess freestylein over an 808 machine?????????????
thats what I thought

[jayshiggs]

Little known fact, when Hot 97 changed formats from freestyle guido music to Hip Hop they offered the lead DJ position Funkmaster Flex wind up getting to Stretch and Bob. Stretch and Bob turned it down cause Hot would not let him keep doing college radio. My how the history of the music would be different right now.

[mic majestic]

I'mma come clean in the post one time.. :guilty: :guilty:
Very rarely was i able to stay up past 3:00AM. I used to set up my tape at 3:00 to tape another hour (120 minute tape) after i was ready to go to sleep

[jayshiggs]

He didn't annnounce it either way.
They inherited the show from Pete Nice who went to Columbia University.

Oh shyt! Yeah I remember, some dude was IMing w/ Stretch pretending he was a girl. He got Stretch to say all type of crazy shyt.
'I like to eat puzzy especially from the back!' lol Imagine w/ Stretch's nose. lol
I remember in Cage's liner note shout outs he shouted out, 'Stretch Armstrong before he turned gay." lol
Remember anothert poster Radon from that site?

I remember the name... like i said i didn't post much, i felt a little outta my element with all the crazy talking white boys on there.

LOL at Stretch eating a girl from the back with his big azz shnoz...
on some real shyt tho, i would bet that girls loved that shyt, he could probably penetrate their azzes with his nose while he licked the puzzy

[Nabs]

notice what I said in my thread"when it comes to my stretch armstrong collection".he was the DJ who brought the music.Bobbito was the host
and? you made a comment and i replied to it. i see why you hate bobbito tho, i'm sure he wouldnt dig sh*t like 50 cent... and would rather play someone like cormega.

[hedake]

cmon man don't rub it in... i had to got to sleep at 3:00, i wasn't trying to go to school and sleep in class and shyt lol


see they knew peeps would drop off so they would either play someithng real exclusive then or they would just start dissing each other which was equally entertaining...i cant front there were nights that i would just hit record and set up the auto reverse but i aint do it too much cuz sometimes the tape recorder would wack out on me and not record! i be like "wut the fuuuuuuuuu.....???..or else for some reason the tape wouldnt flip over so i aint catch everything

That's radon all righ,t a crazy ass white boy. lol . Yo I hung out w/ dude he is really a nut! But he is the one who almost got Cage on Def Jam his girl was like jr. A & R over there.
They eventually even scared me off the site. It was too many cats on there trying to be comedians. Mad in jokes I wasn't even getting and I posted there on the regular. I just left.
