The 50 Best Radio Freestyles

28. Big Pun "Stretch & Bobbito" (1995)
Station: WKCR (89.9FM)
Dj: Stretch & Bobbito
Best Punchline: "Still I will remain a pain inflictor/Giving you hell to bring to victors/Comin to getcha/Playin the game the same as Hitler.”
Before Chris Rios was capitally punishing the industry, he was Joey Crack's secret weapon—a rap assassin in training. Pun wasn't crushing a lot at the time, but Joe still brought him up to Stretch & Bobbito's show on WKCR FM—the birthplace of countless legendary freestyles by future rap icons—to flex his lyrical muscles.
With Joe cheerfully coaching him, Big Punisher dismantled the microphone, leaving it smoking with this quick yet effective freestyle. It was hard to argue that Pun was a beast after this display of next-level wordplay: “Still I will remain a pain inflictor/Giving you hell to bring to victors/Comin to getcha/Playin the game the same as Hitler.”

Fact: Hov always gets too much shine around these parts. Fact: A list without Mad Skillz is suspect at best - how about the Supafriendz WKCR session from January '97 that I am referencing right here.
