For those of you who are just too young to remember the glory days of dubbing Stretch & Bobbito‘s classic radio show on WKCR (89.9 FM), you will now be able to relive the show dubbed Best Hip Hop Radio Show of All Time by The Source. Best of all, you won’t have to shell out top dollar on sites like ebay.

The iconic, independent Hip-Hop radio show broke a good majority of your favorite rappers: from Mad Skillz to Nas, Busta Rhymes, ATCQ, Big L and JAY Z, Big Pun, Fat Joe, Keith Nut and so much more.

The collection is currently in production and will be released via Fat Beats and “proceeds will help fund the upcoming Stretch And Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives film release this summer.” According to Fat Beats, it’s looking like we’ll have to wait until Summer for the release. For now, there is no exact date set – either way we’ll be here waiting, excitedly.

When they eventually do release, you can relive the hilarious jinx from Lord Sear sonning callers to Stretch’s hilarious “Yo yo yo yo yo yo” game that always had me dying. Plus, the icing on the proverbial cake: the illest freestyles where you either had it or you didn’t; you made it or didn’t.

Peep a small portion of DJ Eclipse’s crazy tape collection in the gallery below.
