Nas before Illmatic. A young Jay Z and Notorious B.I.G. Members of the Wu-Tang Clan, long before they topped the charts with Wu-Tang Forever. Those are just some of the would-be legends that appeared on The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show on WKCR in New York City.

From 1990 to 1998, the late-night radio program led by DJs Stretch Armstrong (Adrian Bartos) and Bobbito (Robert Garcia) captured some of the most golden moments in hip-hop’s golden era. Fans of the music look back on it as the most important hip-hop show of its day.

At 7 p.m. on Nov. 10, NPR is showing a new documentary about the storied show, called Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives. WAMU 88.5 is giving away about two dozen tickets to the event, and we’d love you to score a pair.
