How Stretch and Bobbito became radio's hip hop kingmakers
A new doc explores why the Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show was the best hip hop radio program of all time.
The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show has been called the best hip hop radio program of all time.
For almost a decade they featured new music, interviews and freestyles with some of hip-hop's most popular and unsigned acts — like Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem, before they were famous.
Today Shad checks in with Stretch Armstrong to discuss the new documentary, Stretch & Bobbito: A Film about Radio that Changed Lives, the influence of campus curators, and how Eminem's first appearance reversed his own waning interest in doing the show.
WEB EXTRA | Their new documentary had a screening this week in Toronto and it's now available online. Watch the trailer below. Note: it contains explicit language.
