The SoundCloud link is dead, so curious if anyone downloaded it and could share? Thanks!

Judging from the helpfully detailed description Stretch gives to the tape, it isn't one of the KMEL mixes. I don't think it's the Reconstructing Hip-Hop one that's floating around from '91 either.
That said, those early mixes rule. I'd forgotten how much of a cut-n-paste guy he started out as, with Lesson 4 and all that, and revisiting that stuff is great. I wish KMEL had been that experimental when I started listening to it as a kid, just a couple years later.

Thanks for the responses! Yeah, it's a different mix...and I wonder if Shadow himself asked for it to be taken down. I reached out to Stretch Armstrong directly via his Instagram account, and will let you all know if he responds!

Hell yeah, I wanna hear it after all that rapturous description!
