Description

During the 1990s, Stretch and Bobbito introduced the world to an unsigned Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang, and Big Pun as well as an unknown Jay-Z, Eminem, and the Fugees. The total record sales for all the artists that premiered on their radio show exceed 300 million. The late night program had a cult following in the art/fashion world and prison population as well. All would loyally tune in for the humor just as much for the exclusive tunes. Stretch and Bobbito brought a unique audience together, and created a platform that changed music forever.

    Nostalgia all day. I was in a daze after watching it, reflecting on the feeling it revived. These guys were such a crucial part of the NY hip hop culture when it was in its integral stage. Crazy footage and audio never seen before.Well done. 5 stars.
  • Awesome!

    It's hard to put into words what it was like growing up in the golden age of hip hop and listening/recording the radio to hear any new music or great moments, but this film completely captures that vibe. Nowadays we can just type in you tube dot com and listen to anything that our minds can think up, but back in the early 90's at the peak of the Stretch and Bobbito era, this show (and Kid Capri, and Ron G, and Funk Flex, etc.) was an EVENT. Great movie capturing that energy from 20+ years ago.
