Create it and they will come.

As with all past radio shows, all I gots is pause tapes equaling quarter shows at best. I'd love to hear the one with Godfather Don musing on his beloved "trucks" and freestyling in between...

you mean this one? I only have portions...

I've got a funny phone call session from WNYU around 97, Mayhem & Sunset diss a bunch of callers in a row in an amateur MC competition. I'll digitize & upload that sometime this week. Other than that I've got freestyles here & there on cassette still like this hilarious one by ODB:

That's the very one. I got the talk in between as well. Three of them were hilarious kickin it about scoping out the mamis on the street, oooweeee!

Freestyle was ill too, of course.

nice, mayhem/sunset was actually New York Live, but that was still WNYU,
I guess we could include those in here as well, all 89.1 WNYU shows welcome

Theres a couple of shows at my blog:

http://djstepone.blogspot.com/search/label/WNYU

- Riz & Eclipse from Feb 2001
- Riz & Eclipse w/ Prince Paul 1998

also, I posted this Riz & Eclipse 'Halftime Vol 1' mixtape a while back

http://djstepone.blogspot.com/2010/05/d ... vol-1.html

Here's a funny interview with Eclipse and New York graf artist "Ja", I'm sure if Eclipse comes on this board and hears this he'll remember this night. If you're from NYC and are familiar with Ja's work let me know, I went to high school at the graffiti hall of fame in East Harlem.

thanks to everyone adding on

heres another from 1998 w/Choclair

I remember hearing some of the Half-A-Mil joints on this show like 'Fast Money & Foreign Objects', 'Me & Cream', a joint with some dudes named Do Dirty & Problem Child, I think the 'Make It Hot' w/ Dominator was played on this show also from the '95 era. I know he made appearances too. I hope these finally turn up with decent quality. I have some of them but the quality is total total ass.
Much respect for what u guys are doing on this site.

Word, here's a couple of those Half A Mill demos scattered through these posts here:
http://www.thetroyblog.com/tag/half-a-mil/
Also, a bunch of Half A Mill freestyles at dirtywaters blog here:
http://dirtywaters.blogspot.com/search?q=Half+A+Mill

There's also a demo called "In the Projects" there, but we don't have "Me and Cream". I'm sure once I hear it I'll remember it but maybe not. I was rarely ever able to get a great radio signal from WNYU back in the day but I still tried to listen just for the Natural Elements and Half A Mill demos, promos, and freestyles. They had some exclusives for sure.

Do Dirty is a name that I remember but I can't place it.

In ref to the Ego Trip shows, when they dropped older tracks and had older artists pass through the studio...

Are these seperated anywhere, or do you have dates from when these were broadcast?

Thanks in advance

CL
