Now this is a dope story to hear…

Walking back from a shooting in Harlem, we bumped into Stretch Armstrong, right in front of WCKR. That’s the station where he started – in 1990 – what would later become the “Stretch and Bobbito Show”, which many consider the best show ever.

The guy NORE used to call “the albino ostrige” recalls a number of great moments and a greater number of (then) unsigned rappers who blazed the show : cats like Jay-Z, Eminem, Big Pun, ODB, Big L, Biggie, and also a 16 y.o kid in shorts called Nasir…

Last year was Biggie. And now Cookin’ Soul links up with DJ Whoo Kid & DJ Scream for Part II. Featuring 2pac blends with features from Big L, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G & Nas.

If you’re like me… you missed Just Blaze playing a slew of unreleased music from the likes of Jay Electronica, Jay-Z, T.I., Nas and Saigon during his appearance on Tony Touch’s Toca Tuesdays.

And if you don’t wanna listen to the entire thing, Illy cut out some of the good stuff (which are included as bonuses).

Rakim explains to TheUrbanDaily that he originally had mixed feelings and felt funny about Nas’ Streets Disciple record. Stating that Nasir has still (to this day) not reached out about the record (or anything for that matter). Interesting.

Here’s footage of the New York leg of the Heineken show, which I don’t remember most of because I spent the entire night tossing back free swill. Thanks, Kisha!
