Rap Treats #87: 213 - St. Ides Promo Tape (1994)

No company had rappers slanging their product like St. Ides. The beer tasted like piss, but dudes drank it strictly on the strength that Ice Cube and King Tee told them too. Before that, cats drank Old English because N.W.A. rapped about it. And before that, people drank Kool Aid because of that big ass jug of Kool Aid broke through walls and told them to drink the shit. Anyways, this tape is dope and I'm pretty sure you had to be in the right place at the right time to catch one of these cassettes. There is also an Ice Cube tape and an Eric B & Rakim tape out there somewhere too. If you have them send them!

Rap Treats #86: Stretch & Bobbito 20th Anniversary on WKCR

Yes, I know this is mad late and you can find it everywhere, but I wanted to add it to the Rap Treat archive so here it is. This is a piece of history that everybody should have so if you haven't yet downloaded Stretch & Bobbito's reunion show do so asap. In fact, if you aren't familiar with their show then hit google and download every old show that you can get. The Stretch & Bobbito show was a HUGE influence on my radio life and as a Hip-Hop head in general. Before the internet reigned supreme this show is where you found all the new shit, the exclusive shit, and the rare shit. Plus, dudes had jokes. Hopefully this won't be the last show there two do together.
