Lets be honest. MTV network was a big mistake
- Thread starter Pazzy
- Start date
While MTV was undeniably slow to feature Black artists in its early years; a valid and serious criticism, it ultimately became a key platform for elevating some of the most influential Black musicians in history.
It’s fair to argue that Michael Jackson might not have reached the same global dominance without the groundbreaking “Thriller” video, which forced MTV to shift its programming priorities. Likewise, Prince’s “When Doves Cry” video pushing boundaries, helping to redefine what a music video could be.
As the network evolved, Yo! MTV Raps became essential in bringing hip-hop out of urban centers and into the living rooms of suburban America, playing a pivotal role in the genre’s explosion into the mainstream

The wild shyt is in the 90s I could see what direction they were leading the youth in with the reality shows and everyone wanting to be “a celebrity”, but I never would’ve imagined it would turn into where we are with social media.
I foresaw the video calls, computers in the palm of our hands and on our wrists, but the world really turned into an unrecognizable mess since then.
