Video: Stretch Gots A Story To Tell

In a stroke of random luck the good folks from NYM/Gasface were returning from a previous video shoot in Harlem when they bumped into Stretch Armstrong smack dab in front of his old stomping grounds of Columbia University AKA WKCR; the college's radio station where Stretch got his start. For those that didn't know, the gangly, bearded guy sporting designer reading specs in this vid is one of Hip-Hop's most celebrated radio personalities and DJ's ever and a huge influence on ya boy.

In the 90's Stretch and his mans Bobbito held down "The Stretch And Bobbito Show", and used it to break in just about every viable Hip-Hop act you can think of from NYC. The show is an institution in Hip-Hop radio and to this day fans of it recall the legendary lore, laughs and exclusive freestyle sessions that went down.

As you listen to Stretch speak you'll get an idea of how prolific the show was and still is to many. Speaking momentarily about a 16 yr. old Nas dropping off his demo in "Shorts" and snappin' on Kool G Rap in the studio we get some more golden tidbits of the goings on back then at KCR....
