Bobbito let the cat out of the bag already, so I'll just add on. For a little while now, we have been planning an event to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the last show we did together. It's kind of a dubious milestone but we couldn't do the 10th Anniversary of our first show, 'cause that passed 8 years ago. Maybe we could do a 20th, but that's in two years. Or, we could borrow from Eclipse's book and do an 18th Anniversary. Whatever; we both felt like the time had come to do something together, so the 10th Anniversary of our final show it is. But it won't be a celebration of going our own ways. No, no, no, kids. If I have any say in the matter, this will be a great night in the spirit of what went down at KCR, so expect the unexpected. We are working on getting the line-up finalized, which will include some groups that haven't performed together in ages. I soooo want to mention names, but I can't.
Being that the lineup has not been finalized, I'd love to know what artists YOU would love to see. We are only interested in involving artists that were integral to the show, so those that were already established before 1990 don't count, and artists that didn't emerge 'til after 1998 don't either. Feel free to comment.

Congrats on the anniversary to the best show. I want to see some stretch and bob shows posted.
Stretch!!..Organized Konfusion and Artifacts are 2 that pop in my mind of the bat...
I want to see Lace da Booms and Godfather Don!!!
Hit Squad (all of them). That would be interesting.
A Tribe Called Quest, Leaders Of the New School, Jungle Brothers...that would be ill.
A Tribe Called Quest, Leaders of the New School, Organized Konfusion...that would be ill!
Eric B. and Rakim
some sort of Cenobites reunion would be quite off the chain.
The Artifacts...
err.... Gangstarr?
MAIN SOURCE
ARTIFACTS
GANGSTARR
TRIBE CALLED QUEST
D.I.T.C
BITCH HATERS CLUB --- AKINYELE, G RAP, NAS
or some of the true underground mc's
such as ABSOLUTE from the Lyracist lounge
and EI8TRAK from Mass Vinyl days (if you need connects on Ab or Ei8 holla)
ps i got the rest of the BIG freestyle we were stumped n
I would love to see Natural Elements, Artifacts, NonPhixion, Necro, Cage, Natural Resources, to name a few.
yo stretch that would be crazy def man! i wouldnt mind seeing KRS-One, Black Moon, Redman, Eric Sermon, Artificats, Kurious Jorge, Company Flow, Gang Starr, Pete Rock & Cl Smooh, A Tribe Called Quest, Souls Of Mischief crew, Nas, EPMD, Smif-N-Wessun, Just Ice, Funky Jillz, Kool Keith, The Alkoholics....just some ideas. much love from Kenya and Rome. when you gonna post some of those lovely tasty snacks you used to post of you and bob? mad props man. nuff respect for everything you have done you have inspired me to do so much stretch! props! peace
Natural Elements,Non Phixion and another dj Riz battle routine
I think I just came in my trousers thinking about this. Anyway, I would love to hear some D.I.T.C. action on the show. Large Pro is always a classic. As for groups that are broken up: Artifacts and Organized Konfusion(but the members of each seem to hate each other these days.) Freestyle Fellowship would also be the ish.
Big Fan Of the Show...
I'm There!

Let Lord Sear freestyle for a few and then heat everyone onstage and in the crowd!
You gotta have Lord Sear there, snapping on cats in the crowd.
Also, Natural Elements would be nice
Maybe you can set up a collections box at the door, to help all the artists you had on your show over the years, who no longer rap because fans don't buy shit anymore.
Please make sure this is recorded be it audio or video, the world needs to witness.
I saw boot camp clique in London a couple of years ago, and I'd fly my arse out to NY to see them on home turf. Heltah Skeltah, Black Moon, OGC - no doubt.
3rd Bass would be amazing too!
Wowzers you just made my week.
the artifacts
siah & yeshua dapo ed
company flow
arsonists
atcq
main source
godfather don
what up stretch..wouldn't mind seeing a arsonists reunion for that 10yr. anniversary show
yo stretch this is great news!!
id love to hear the Artifacts together again
Organized Konfusion!
If you could get Tame & El to spit together or maybe Can Ox(have they made anything since 2001?) maybe Kweli & Mos together. Percy rhyming with finesse would hurt cats too!
I'm Warsaw, Poland so I never had the chance of hearing your shows, except the ones that you have put on this blog, but I really feel your passion about hip-hop as a culture, and not just industry. If we are speaking about groups from the past- I would like to here some new brand nubian joints, and also ATCQ qould be crazy I guess. Hope your wishlist will be fullfilled, happy anniversary (even thou' it's kinda sad) and keep on posting these mad tracks!
get Godfather Don in the studio!
Freestyle Professors!
Keep doin yo thank, Stretch.
Peace,
Ed Catto
Organized Konfusion reunion (with O.C.) - because why not?
Yo Stretch, just off the top of my head, some of the artists i'd like for you to bring are Kool Keith, R.A. The Rugged Man, Smif N Wessun, and Royal Flush
kid capri, some turntables and nothing but james brown records ....
Stretch, this better has nothing to do with your hipster makeover..
Mf Grimm and B One
Name some huh? And why hasn't anyone commented yet? This is probably the most important thing to happen in the world of hip-hop in a long time people (or at least to Stackswell). But seeing how much the crowd/following has changed since the show aired you'll probably sit back and just wait for the show to materialize without honest care. Okay, woooooooow, where to start? I'd say first & foremost get Keith and hopefully the rest of Ultra, Kurious, but I know he's probably already in on it for sure, definitely Ill Al & Big Ill (PLEASE!), Blahzay, Crome Rebels, Brooklyn Assault Team, OC, obviously the rest of DITC, P-Nut, too many to name. When I think of more note-worthy heads other than the obvious I'll share.
Let's get this goin Stretch!
mhz!!!
kind of hard since jakki is in florida now.
oh well, worth a shot!
Cee Style of The Korp and Total Package.
Arsonists, Laster and AK Skills
Roughneck Soldiers!
I.G. Off & Hazardous, Artifacts, sub-con, showbiz & AG, Jay Electronica, Premo, Pete Rock, DOOM, Original Beatnuts, kweli, Pharcyde, Brand Nubian, Madlib. Just off the top of my head
Actually, I will be rocking a mustache and really, really tight pants. For his part, Bobbito will be wearing a Dashiki.
Artifacts cause im from newark, the beatnuts, kurious, atcq, ditc, souls of mischief, krsone, dela soul, company flow, and afrika bambatta to spread a positive message in there for the youth.
Artifacts cause im from newark dela soul atcq juice crew fantasic five cold crush brothers treacherous three souls of mischief krs one ditc doug e fresh slick rick epmd public enemy run dmc mc lyte beatnuts kurious.
WOW! Could there be light at the end of the dark tunnel we've been trapped in for 10-years?
One show is not enough -- you do realize that, right? Come back and reclaim your throne!
Please...
no suggestions but damn, I gotta say big ups! legendary shit is about to go down.
I was about to list a bunch of artists (some people on these comments are trippin' right now...they wanna see the whole fuckin Native Tongues reunite LOL). But on the real, this won't be official unless Natural Elements perform.
This was my hands down FAVORITE group to come out of the NY underground in the late '90s and they never got a chance to drop an album or anything. To this day, I still bump the $10 "Best Of" bootleg I copped from some kid in front of Fat Beats.
Oh...Mr. Live and Tony Bones would be ill too.
Everyone's going to sound a bit old and jaded but what the hey, listening to GRAND PUBA, POS K, and SADAT X tear up the mike once and for all won't hurt!
There's tons of names that would be dope to hear - but the most important thing is that they perform tracks from back then...
Here's some names:
Kurious Jorge
Beatnuts (w. Al Tariq)
Organized Konfusion feat. O.C.
Artifacts
Pharcyde
Tribe
Gang Starr
Souls of Mischief
Pete & CL
Large Pro (Main Source)
Black Moon
D.I.T.C. (performing a medley of their catalogue as a group and as individuals...)
Much love!
Wu-Tang performing - Protect Ya Neck, C.R.E.A.M. + Ice Cream and other solo tracks.
Mobb Deep (feat. Q-Tip, Ghost, Rae, Nas) performing Survival of the fittest, Eye For An Eye, Shook Ones, Right Back At Ya, Drink Away The Pain,
Large Pro, Akinyele, Joe Fatal and Nas performing Live at the barbeque.
The Gang Starr Foundation performing Love Sick, Mass Appeal, I'm the Man, Code of the streets, Speak Ya Clout, Supa Star, Livin Proof, Brooklyn Took It, Da Bichez, Cant Stop The Prophet, Come Clean and I could go on and on and on and on and on....
Also Pete & CL performing with a guest appearance from INI.
Ohhh I think I'm dreaming - I need to wake up - Soulja Boy is on the radio...
MF DOOM!!!! That would be a perfect headliner, and I'm sure you could get him to show up...
for one ,you gotta have Cage doing "clockwork"...I also run an internet radio station, if you wanna run a feed worldwide-wtnrradio@gmail.com
The usual suspects should be there Nas, Artifacts, DITC and freestyle kings like KRS, Percee P, Craig G, etc
HTTP://ICEDOTCOM.BLOGSPOT.COM/
I wanna see (Mad) Skillz come in and do a recap of all the memorable moments on your shows.
Like he does a year-roundup now.
But his would be a Hairy Monkey balls kinda round-up, right.
Oh - AND I WANT TO HEAR "You Gotta Go Down".
One.
ATCQ, Artifacts and maybe Main Source.
Only 2 names come to mind:
Pete Rock & CL Smooth!!!!!!!!!
take the opportunity to record a new, live-on-the-air posse cut. maybe Walt or Evil Dee could bring in an SP, a minimal beat could be made and then Tony Bones, Mr. Live and Breezly Bruin could make another long awaited cut in one take.
Maybe Walt, Evil Dee or Lord Finesse could bring in an SP to make a minimal beat so we could hear another long awaited Breezly Bruin, Tony Bones, and Mr. Live radio session. That first one is still one of the greatest ever!
Everyone- the comments are always appreciated. I have no problem publishing ones that offer constructive criticism or even ones that poke fun of me or Bobbito. We certainly used to dish it out. In general, I don't like rejecting comments, but I'm just not gonna accept any that contain personal attacks or unjustified negativity.
Hold 'em!
Jeezy, Black Moon, Turf Talk, Murs, Suga Free, Sean Price
Tim Westwood vs Dave Pearce soundclash
