Stretch & Bobbito 6th Anniversary Show

Here's a good 75 minutes from the 6th anniversary of the Stretch Armstrong Show on October 24, 1996. The show features freestyles from King Tee, Bootcamp's (Buckshot & Steele) and the Indelible MC's (El P, Breezly Brewin', J-Treds). Dr. Dre was also in the studio but didn't rhyme. The tape jumps around a little (pause edits), but still holds a lot of treats.




*update - the full 4 hour show for this date has been recovered by Aleph/nobs/Steve
via the Philaflava forums...

Peace to Stretch & Bobbito.

Check out words from Stretch about the 5th Anniversary Show
featuring Kool G Rap and Grimm on this post from Stretch's blog.

And big shouts to A-One for blessing us with portions of the
4th Anniversary Show featuring Common on this post.

Radio Ruckus (Cymarshall Law) 6-5-2005

Here's an old Radio Ruckus show featuring Cymarshall Law and your boy DJ Nes with a break mix. I was listening to the Halftime show last week and heard a couple of Cymarshall Law's new joints and remembered I had this. On this tape he plays a couple joints (I'm not sure they were released or not) live on the air and drops a few freestyles. Peace to DJ Knowledge, AB, and everyone in Jersey.

The Beatnuts - Watch Out Now (original version)

When The Beatnuts first made 'Watch Out Now' I guess they had some label issues because the line in Psycho Les' original first verse says 'if you wanna get ---d get on a label like Rela (but this is Def Jam), f- them, whatever.' The song was released as a promo only on a Def Jam/Violator project before making it as a 12" from the 'Musical Massacre' LP, but not with those original lyrics.

Aside from the different lyrics on this unreleased version, the drums sound a little different as well (or it could just be me). The 'Hi-Jack' sample is still pretty much the same. This version didn't make it to any official vinyl releases and probably only saw a few radio plays (caught this from a Stretch show).

The Live guy with glasses

This weekend I checked out the seasonal Rt. 22 record show that goes down at the Holiday Inn in Springfield N.J., and peeped none other than the 'mad scientist' Large Professor on the set. It was surprising to Extra P there not only because I'm assuming he lives in Queens, but also because at this point in his digging career I would assume he has damn near every break known to man. It goes to show how serious of an addiction record digging can be, and also how dedicated and serious Large Professor is with his craft, even after some 25 odd years of producing and collecting. Seeing him there made me respect him that much more than I already do, and IMO your a fool not to mention Large Pro as one of the top 5 producers of all time.

Here's a clip from the CM-fam-a-lam show sometime in February of 1999 with Large Professor playing some beats from his Sp-1200 live in the studio for Neek the Exotic and Royal Flush on rhyme. Large Professor jumps on the mic for a verse or two as well. Bobbito goes in to a mix of Neek the Exotic joints from his 'Backs and Necks' LP after the freestyle session

Regulation Status




I caught a good handful of breaks and some new drum breaks, Drum Crazy part 17 is coming soon. Peace to all the record fiends still copping joints.

Inbetween time...

What's up all? I just wanted to jump on here real quick to throw your attention to some stuff I've been checking out during my absence here. I got some things lined up for the end of the month towards the holidays for posting so stay tuned. Thanks to everyone continuing to drop comments and visit the site.

Phil Most Chill a.k.a. The Soulman has been killing it on the mixtape tip recently, he dropped 3 quality mixes in the past couple of months that I suggest all of you out there go and check out. For some reason Zshare has not been working for my lately, and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. anyone out there having the same problems I am having or know how I can go about getting Zshare to work? I'm debating whether or not I should continue using it to host my downloads on here.. Anyway, check these three mixes here from Soulman...
















DJ Kool Breez, a fellow digger I met through our youtube channels, recently dropped a mix featured on Soulstrut.com. It's a nice mix of rare breaks and beats that I'm listening to as I type this...



















Also, I recently found J-Zone's blog that has some really funny posts about random stuff like why he doesn't like Twitter, and why he won't rock Ipod's and sticks to using a walkman. He's got a post on there about his Top 10 diggin' adventures, one of which includes a story about the now defunct 'All Ears Records' in New Brunswick, N.J. This used to be one of my favorite spots and I caught many great pieces out of that gutted out diner he used for a record store (and also warehouse to store and sell heroin from what I heard, which is why it got shut down). The dude never answered the phone provided on his business card, and when you went to see if he was open it was hit or miss. I can say that depending on the mood my dood Charlie was in, he would let you slide off with some really good deals. I can remember copping Kool and The Gang's 1st self titled LP, 'Live at the PJ's' Ike White's LP, Jimmy Gordon's 'Hog Fat', Pleasure's 'Dust Yourself Off'' and a bunch of others I would have paid a lot of money for in other spots. Wherever Charlie is now I hope he's doing well. Be sure and check all the aforementioned stuff and I'll be checking back soon, stay dirty...
