I've done a quick tally of the artists you want to see at the Stretch & Bobbito reunion extravaganza, as well as the number of mentions they received. There weren't many surprises, but of course this was no kind of scientific poll. I mean, Jay-Z as well as some of our personal favorites didn't even get mentioned. On top of that, some I have never even heard of. This list will change, but for now, this is what it looks like.
Drum roll please....

Stretch and Bobbito, I remember hangin out, getting blunted on Thurs. night but I had to be home by Friday morning at 1 am, just to record my tapes, and listen to the newest, up and coming rappers. 89 TEK 9
I remember whippin em out on Friday for all my boys to listen because I felt so proud, I had the new shit. Nobody had this tape, I felt. That was so long ago.
I remember Wu-tang, before anybody ever heard of them. I remember you guys having a ball in the studio because ODB's style was so crazy, wild, and funny; noone never heard any shit like that before.
The list is a fantastic list. Hope I can make it to the party. Send me an invite. An Old School fan.
Kool keith !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant believe the Cella Dwellas are not on this list.!!!
NaS, Mobbdeep, Tribe Called Quest, Mr. Voodoo, Cage and Company Flow

I'm really looking forward to this post, Stretch. Keep it Konstant man!
Can you get Mad Skillz and Q-Tip to do a combination freestyle part 2?! That one they did on your show was amazing!
Also, when I listen to the Y Society LP it makes me think of the golden age of Hip Hop music.
Would be real cool if you could get those Y Society cats on your show.
BTW How about MF Grimm and Scott Lark? The list is endless really!!
Can't wait for the reunion.
Best of luck.
Peace!
oh yeah can i add one more that i didn't see on the list... Lords of the Underground...please!!!!!

Cormega should defnitely be on there, he ripped through a freestyle on your show completely off the head and his energy was crazy.

Craig G gotta be there
Here's another for Tony Bones and Tone the Butcher...and Lord Sear is a Must come thru......
Kool Keith
didn't my man DMX the Great appear with Percee P on the show back in '91...how come he wasn't mentioned...i think he deserves a spot more so than a lot of those other cats......
Just to fill in a few blanks:
Helta Skelta, Roc Raida, Honorable Mention goes to the Grand Ghetto Communicator!
when is this show going to take place? the list is crazy and i have to add a vote for screwball.
Siah & Yeshua dapo Ed!
Powerule
what up with you posting the shows?
PUMA
whatever gotta bring that shit on the road son
Things have changed so much that some of the people I loved when the show was going full force (Nas, Mobb Deep, Jeru) I wouldn't have much interest in hearing from now. I'd vote some of the obvious like Qtip, OC, Buckshot (Tek, Steele, Ruck and Starang too), Pharaohe and Mos Def but also would love to hear Siah & Yeshua and what about Fuc That from Street Smartz. Where has that cat been?
WHEN IS THIS GONNA BE ????? PLEASE GIVE US A CLUE ASAP SO WE CAN PLAN, YO
Kurious
NE
ATCQ
NAS
Stretch and Bobbito

The Outsidaz please. Rah Digga killed her freestyle when she was with the Outsidaz.
Natural E deserves it. They are one of the most slept on and DOPE groups in Hiphop. PERIOD.
Sunz of Man (Shabazz the Disciple, Killah Priest, Hell Razah, Prodigal Sunn, 60 Second Assassin) & Ras Kass

and the ghost of big L
confession: i moved to this outback boring-ass small town in japan for a while in 94 and brought a bunch of wkcr tapes with me. at some point i realized that the kids were mad for underground hip hop and started duping them for sale. if you guys could have a buck for every tape of yours that was sold over the years...well...
glad it was never about the money, though.
Redman.. Not sure why he doesn't get a mention
1. Fuc That (i spoke to him, he's down for the cause)
2. Natural Elements
3. Beatnuts
4. Cella Dwellas
5. Organized Konfusion
6. Metal Face
7. Brand Nu
8. Blahzay
