Stretch & Bobbito footage from November 29, 1990 [Post #1000]

Co-Founder of Zoo York Eli Morgan Gessner, has started upping some interesting clips on a YT channel.

The 1st one features a very early piece of footage from the WKCR days of the Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito Show feat the god Bonz Malone in the studio along with the late NYC skate-great Beasley in front of the mic stand.

The 2nd, from 1987 includes Bones Brigade clothing and the soundtrack from a ghetto-blaster playing a tape of Mr Magic dropping Juice Crew All-Stars/ World premiere of Nobody Beats the Biz [around the 5 minute mark]…

Shouts to Eli for his vision in capturing these candid and intimate moments…

DJ Stretch Armstrong Show featuring Bobbito the Barber on WKCR [Undaground Flavas] – 1995

Found another old Stretch and Bobb cassette to add to the ever-increasing list of shows from the WKCR days

The exquisitly and tastefully designed cover looks like it was drawn up by someone with plegic issues, or some stumped up Jeremy Beadle type, and I have no clue why the date was scribbled out either

Wyclef and Pras are in the studio as well as an MC by the name of Mischief [along with his mate, 10 men/ Tin-Man?]. It’s one of the booty tapes that was sold outta one of the many vinyl stores in London at the time, Handspun Records I think. It’s a decent selection of tunes, no demo exclsuives to talk of, and Wyclef waffles on a bit [durin the freestyle as well as the chat with Bobb and Bones] some things never change eh, and sadly, there’s no Krunchtime. If anyone knows the origins of, erm, Undaground Flavas outta downtown Hounslow, then let us know. Shouts to Krisch for helpin out with the tracks

Side A is straight banger after banger. Stretch does his thing, they discuss varying topics; exchange rates, the yen, benihanas and how to record a four hour radio show on a video cassette amongst others. Even the stunted cross-atlantic mis-communications between the two of them are entertaining.

Side B is painful. Its the part of the show Tim referred to as the MIC CHECK section. Ostensibly, it was amateur night at Radio One, every week. There are MCs in the studio, and MCs on the phone-lines, and its mostly horrendous, but funny as all hell. Shouts to Andy for the tape.
