Boogie & The Barber w/Bobbito & DJ Eclipse Hot 97 WQHT October 19, 1997 (320 kbs)

DJ Eclipse - "Here goes a full show of Boogie & The Barber minus commercials and us starting a little late.  I filled in for Stretch and Bobbito got on the tables as well at the very end of the show (91:20).  Right out the gate Bob jumps on the mic to let the people know we were running late. 

On the next mic break (31:17) the guests were the Jungle Brothers who were promoting their "Raw Deluxe" album which had just dropped.  Glad Bob mentioned that Roc Raida (R.I.P.) had produced the first single from the album. Then he goes on to mention the X-Men's new album The X-Terminators, hahahaha. We got it corrected (X-Ecutioners) and kept it moving, but not after a couple jokes.  The JBs freestyle at 40:25 and then come back for the last mic break at 51:01. 

Thanks to Nes from http://dirtywaters.blogspot.com/ for Bob's portion of the set which I was missing. And thanks to Jamo on the backup. 

Also, make sure to catch Stretch & Bobbito on their new podcast which airs on NPR this summer."

Funkmaster Flex - Friday Night Street Jam Hot 97 WQHT March 4, 1994 (320 kbs)

This show is chock full of specialized radio promos about Flex. Emskee has a dope one at 1:24 right after the intro promo. Caught a couple more throughout the show like the Biz Mark one at 50:04. And then there's all the drops from artists of that era layered throughout the mix which gives it that much more flavor. And of course we can't forget the music. From breakbeats (4:12) to reggae (75:41) to old school (103:05) to new Hip Hop, the show is such a great window into what was happening in NYC clubs in the 90s. Not to mention the party breaks Flex was playing that were real popular back then. Throw in a couple blends, shout outs to Big Kap (R.I.P.) who was spinning at the Palladium until Flex got there and mic breaks at 22:57, 48:09, 74:13, 101:37, 128:33 and 153:25, and you have 3 hours of great listening pleasure.

Future Flavas w/Marley Marl & Pete Rock Hot 97 WQHT May 24, 1998 (320kbs)

Another sure shot from the crates of DJ Eclipse, damn!!!!

A LOT of dope joints on this one. Especially the Future Flava promos.  Sporty Thieves promo at the beginning of the show, Busta Rhymes (35:42), Killa Kidz (39:05) and another one that I'm not sure who it's from at 41:51. Mic breaks at 8:27, 30:08 and 54:29.

At the end of the show they mention that DJ Premier was about to get on the wheels
(on Boogie & The Barber). How dope was it that a commercial radio station had
Pete Rock and DJ Premier on air back to back? They don't make 'em like that anymore.

DJ Eclipse:- "Stretch, Bobbito and Lord Sear let the jokes start flying on the first mic break (31:33) and keep them going when Non Phixion get on the mic (34:33) for their interview. Then the NP ill freestyle session begins (43:03) with some early versions of verses that were slightly different before making it to wax as well as some verses that never were released on anything. Dope O.C. promo at 53:20. Other than that just a good variety of '98 music."

Nice hearing Pete cut up the Non Phixion "Legacy" 12" hot off the press (48:59) as well as Marley bigging it up right after. Stretch and Bobbito Hot 97 promo (27:44) for the premiere episode which came on a little later that night. And immediately following Future Flavas was Home Jams with Big Dennis who had G-Whiz from Heavy D & The Boyz as his co-host. I let a little of the beginning play at the end of this show."

Stretch & Bobbito - Boogie & The Barber 11 February 1996 (320 kbs)

Props to DJ Eclipse for sharing these tapes...

Based on the success of their "Stretch & Bobbito" show on 89.9 WKCR, Hot 97 offered them a weekly slot in early '96. Naming the show "Boogie & The Barber", the first episode aired on February 11, 1996 and featured guest Lord Finesse (101:53). When you heard Capone's voice running down the boroughs at the start of the show you knew it was time to press record. The show was on Sunday's from 12am-2am then later changed to 11pm-1am and ran until the duo parted ways in December 1998. At that point Stretch stayed on Hot 97 and renamed it "The XL Show" and Bobbito and Stretch started alternating Thursdays on the KCR show with Bob renaming his night "The CM FAMALAM Radio Program". Now 20 years later the two are set to re-release some of their classic shows on cassette through Fat Beats along with a feature film documentary entitled "Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives" which will be screened in NYC on August 16, 2015 at Central Park. www.stretchandbobbito.com for more info.

Marley Marl & Pete Rock - Future Flavas Hot97 7 January 1996 (320 kbs)

DJ Eclipse blesses us once again....

From "In Control" to "Pirate Radio" to "Future Flavas", I don't think there was ever a better duo who were not only dope at what they did on air, but also responsible for a good percentage of the music we listened to back then. "Future Flavas" debuted in January of '95 on Hot 97 and aired on Sunday nights from 11pm-12am. Marley (mostly) on the mic and Pete Rock on the decks would bless us with weekly exclusives as well as impromptu freestyles and fresh radio promos. For example, peep out the Rakim joint (7:27) that for the life of me I do not recall ever hearing again. Then there's Pete's off-the-top freestyle sessions (5:46 & 55:55) as well as a dope Pete Rock produced Biz Markie promo (30:05). The great thing about listening to NYC radio shows like this one was that you were getting the music straight from the source. Songs would be recorded that week and played immediately without the wait of a label release or even the chance of ever hearing it again. Now that's exclusive.
