The greatest hip hop radio show of all time…that no one in our generation was able to fully experience. It’s quite sad that all we got to hear were old audio clips, youtube clips and old wives’ tales about these two iconic radio personalities. If you’re a fan of the music and you’ve never heard the names Stretch or Bobbito then you may want to kick yourself for missing out on some integral pieces in the storied era of 90′s hip hop. Quick rundown: these dudes operated no different than your average college radio DJ’s rocking every Thursday night. The difference? They became notorious for breaking records in the right place at the right time (New York circa 1990-1998) and getting every independent/major label artist hoping to get on their show. RBMA’s Chairman Mao sat down with the pioneering duo in San Francisco for yet another incredible lecture.
theHusic: Weekly Issue (Vol. 3 No. 4) ‘Bad Boy’
Take that, take that, take that, take that. Today we revisit some classics from the house that Diddy built. The notorious BAD BOY ENTERTAINMENT. In its hey-day Diddy Puff Daddy and company only had one major label who could even come close to rivaling them, and that was Death Row Records. With the passing of the late great Biggie Smalls, Mason Betha becoming a full blown pastor, Craig Mack failing to ever top Flava In Ya Ear, Total, 112 and New Edition dissolving into nothingness..oh and the prodigal son Shyne getting locked up for a decade – Bad Boy just hasn’t been the same since the 90′s. Here’s a compilation of goodies from Bad Boy’s finest hour on top – who knows, maybe Diddy has something up his sleeve. Nah….probably not.

Good evening W&B listeners! I got another brand new beat for ya’ll. Hope people won their bets on the NFL games this weekend. For this week’s W&B beat I used a bass synth and some 808s on top.

BBC Sound of 2012: Frank Ocean
I think this deserves some front page attention. Frankie O sits down with BBC at the Vine Theatre in Hollywood for a rare interview about conceptualizing the stories behind Nostalgia, Ultra as well as his forthcoming LP. He also goes on about his intermingling with who else but Odd Future as well as being commissioned by Jay, Ye & Bey. We can’t wait for what’s to come, hopefully he books a show in Vancouver sometime soon. Watch the entire interview in the cut.
P.S. We see you in that Sidian, Ersatz & Vanes joint Frank!
