Video: "Stretch Armstrong Gots a Story to Tell...."
"Walking back from a shooting in Harlem, we bumped into Stretch Armstrong, right in front of WCKR - that's the station where he started, in 1990, what would later become the "Stretch and Bobbito Show", which many consider the best show ever. The guy NORE used to call "the albino ostrich" recalls a number of great moments and a greater number of (then) unsigned rappers who blazed the show - cats like Jay-Z, Eminem, Big Pun, ODB, Big L, Biggie, and also a 16 y.o kid in shorts named Nasir...."
Shout to Stretch & Bob - the "Stretch & Bobbito show" is the greatest college hip hop radio show of all time. Its been often imitated but never duplicated or topped - believe me when I say that show moved the culture and single-handedly broke records. Before Flex blasted off on records, Stretch was playing them on his show first.

Vintage audio of Freestyles from the 'Stretch & Bobbito' show
The legendary 90's mixshow on WKCR "89-Tech-9" is often called the greatest college hip hop radio show of all time and is a likely inspiration for Pete Rosenberg's Juan Epstein shenanigans with Cipha Sounds.
These dudes had everyone up at their show from pre-record deals Biggie, Wu-Tang to Busta and Pharoahe Monch so check it out here. It'll hold you down until Stretch himself gets his game tight and starts posting again at Konstant Kontact!

This is what the internet is for. Juggaknots was one of the great unheralded groups from the Stretch N Bob era.
