The all time greatest Hip Hop radio show of all times is the show that Stretch & Bobbito did on 88 tec 9. It was THE official backpacker’s Hip Hop radio. The opposite of commercial. All about the culture and the music. A great time for Hip Hop and radio period. Here’s the copy from the RBMA Vimeo page:

“Pioneering college hip hop radio jocks Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito sit down on the couch for an interview with rap scholar Chairman Jefferson Mao, touching down on the beauty of unprofessional radio and the joy of igniting careers for countless artists like Jay Z, Nas, and Mobb Deep. The interview took place during the Red Bull Music Academy’s ‘New York City To the SF Bay’ lecture series in San Francisco. Oh yeah, and the whole thing is also pretty damn funny.”
