When you mention Ran to me I start thinking Radio Activity which was cool yet they the station was in the competitive years with W.D.A.S having it’s own rap show and a couple colledge joints. You guys make me feel old since the hottest days of Power 99 were when Lady B was on it or should I say started it, can’t complain though Radio Activity did the damn thing but I wasn’t a regular listener anymore since I was too busy doing my own thing at the time. I recorded sets though just like you and later took out the commercials and stuff but your era is so similar to mines I can remember back in like 80 when Wendy Clark ( Lady B) was on W.H.A.T 1340 AM with the rap show I would listen to the entire show with my hands on the pause button and rewinding back to get it right since she talked so much back then. I made the beats from songs prolong so that I had music to rap too again it was so hard because she talked so much but none the less all these tapes are treasures now since it is 17 years old Sheesh!! Man yall are making me old!! Thanks and keep em coming!!!

Huge thanks for posting this! Not many classic Power 99 rips can be found on the net. I remember Friday Night Street Jams from the intro. I found out a few years later that Funkmaster Flex aired a show with the same name on Hot 97. I have some classic Come Up Show tapes from the late 90s with Cosmic Kev but I have no way of getting them to MP3.

DJ Ran was that dude back in the day. Thanks for these!

I remember Ran’s lil “ra-ra-ran!”, and one afternoon he played the whole snippet where he got it from. I was in heaven.
