90's Flashback with Funkmaster Flex

This is where Flex is at his best- playing joints from the 90's. He gets excited. Flex was a big supporter of what Bobbito and I were doing on Thursday nights in the early 90's. I think he gives us our propers somewhere in here, but that's beside the point. I remember thinking how downhill hip-hop had gone by '96. But how good does it sound compared to the graveyard of drivel it is now? Totally dude!

Oh, and what's up with the whitest dude ever doing all the voice over work for crossover urban stations? What is that about? This isn't moviefone, it's a hip-hop station!

Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito, 5 Year Anniverary on KCR

There was no party, no cake or candles, no all-star line-up of thankful artists (an oxymoron) or anything extra super-celebratory to usher in the 5th birthday of the radio show that Bobbito and I gave birth to (pause!) in the winter of 1990. True to the understated nature of KCR, it was a family affair- Stretch, Kool Bob Love, Detective Reef, Lord Sear and friends/guests MF Grimm and Kool G Rap. The static is thick on this recording, but deal with it. We had a great time that night. It felt good to have 5 years under our belts and to be on the radio with one of the greatest of all time and one of our idols. (Bob and I could agree on some things!)

From '93 'Til Infinty

What's sup kiddies? I had to dip out of town again, and the files that I wanted to post are too big to take with me and even attempt to post from a hotel room. Served up for your listening pleasure are parts 1 and 2 of a slamingo KCR episode from June 6th, 1993, a little more than 14 years ago. By this point in time, Black Moon had already come out as a new group to take seriously. I regret not having shown up to the video shoot for "Who Got The Props?", especially since they bigged up me (and Bob) at the end of the record. That bugged me out, for real- to hear my name on wax! (You laptop serato youngsters don't know how easy you have it.) Anyway, it would be cool to go to youtube on my new iphone and watch "Who Got The Props" with my cameo...but it just ain't so. So...on this show Black Moon was scheduled to come up, and they were bringing Smiff-M-Wessun who we hadn't known yet. But they left an indelible mark on my ears after ripping shit lovely that night. This had me amped. You'll also enjoy it when I threw on LL Cool J "Back Seat of My Jeep," probably to annoy Bobbito. There's another live appearance by a group named N-Tense of which I have no recollection. On Part 2, you hear a funny musical episode that was recorded in my bedroom on a hot summer day, featuring muddy, echoed-out vocals by Reef, Ghetto Communicator, Bonz Malone and Cage. 4, 5, 6 and Justice League was in effect, and the sound of the bong is real. And so is the static.

This was early enough in our radio "career" to actually worry about profanity. Haha- that's funny.
