Re-Up: Stretch & Bobbito 1-19-1997 (w/ Mad Skillz)

Here is Mad Skillz stopping by Stretch & Bobbito's Boogie & the Barber show on Hot 97. This was 3 days after the now classic freestyle session with Artifacts, Crash Crew, Mad Skillz, Lonnie B and Danjamouf (which gets a spin near the end of this show). Peace to Stretch, Bobbito & Greg T.

Grand Puba - Hip Hop Lives

Unreleased Grand Puba from 1995, I guess scrapped from the '2000' LP. He gets on some Delfonics sh*t and breaks it down real smooth. Pulled this one off a Future Flavas tape.

 

Mobb Deep - Shook Ones (Remix)

This track got remixed a lot, not sure who did this one. 

Pulled it off a 1995 Stretch and Bob tape.

Juggaknots Demos

Caught a few unreleased Juggaknots tracks while going through some Stretch & Bobbito shows. I'm sure these have been circulated somewhere, but in case you haven't heard, here they go. I'm not sure of the titles, or if they have been released or not, but I know these weren't featured on their first Fondle Em' LP.

DJ Kaos - Phatspot Break Mix

Peace to DJ Kaos, doing his thing with a phatspot break mix..
 

..also peep a snippet from this unreleased Redman track from Kaos' tape collection, that I believe not even Redman himself has a copy of. This sounds like a hungry, pre-record deal Redman.
 

A Lover Was Born

Here's a treat from Lee Dorsey called 'A Lover was Born.' You may recognize this as the sample for Lord Finesse's 'Strictly for the Ladies.' As far as I know, this song only appears on this 7" and is not included on any of his albums, with the exception of later compilations. The track is produced and arranged by Allen Toussaint, so it definitely has that funky Meters vibe.

Shortie No Mas

This one came out on Track Team Records in 2002, but sounds like it could have been a bonus track from 1994's 'Buhloone Mind State' LP, where Shortie No Mas first made an appearance. I remember her being on 'In the woods,' and doing some adlibs on 'Ego Trippin.' She also did some work on the first Roots LP. This track here was produced by the Beatminerz, and uses a mellow Cal Tjader or MJQ sample. Just sold this on discogs figured I'd share the rip, Enjoy..

Stretch & Bobbito Hot 97 (w/Fat Joe & Big Pun)

Here's a Boogie and The Barber episode from May, 1997. Fat Joe and Big Pun were in the studio promoting 'Capital Punishment,' but no freestyles.. Peace to Greg T on this one.
