DJPremierBlog unearthed a true gem, releasing the full 10 minute freestyle that took place back in February of ’95 featuring Big L and a young Jay-Z. This has been the stuff of legend, and now it’s re-upped for the youngins to enjoy. Bobbito talked about this freestyle during our in-depth interview with him (watch it here). Specifically, he talked about not having any idea of the specialness that was going on, that Jay-Z would become “Jay-Z”…
Says DJPremierBlog
“Hip Hop has many never found stuff where 90s freaks like me are hunting on like wild animals. Like this for instance, the full Stretch & Bobbito Show with Big L & Jay-Z as guests on the 23th of February 1995. The only thing we had was the legendary freestyle that was cut out. Props to HecticEclectic to upload his recorded tape from that day that featured more shit. For me personally this is the best moment ever recorded on radio… Big L IS the best MC ever, since I first had a track of him. ‘You can put your man on too’, I wonder if he knew he would be in Forbes magazine and shit 15 years later? The most powerful hip hop artist ever was back then just Big L’s man haha. This shit is classic, no doubt. Props to Stretch & Bobbito for making everything so legendary. I tweaked it for y’all. Enjoy and reminisce:”
