tooo many classic segments on there like this ^^^^ Krazy and Bizzy just high on weed, Flesh when he was still in the group . LOL@ them adressing why the video version of crossroads aint on the album, and the video itself, but if you got the original pressing of that album with the real crossroads on there pat yourself on the back! The top 9 is still legit, Reminds me i need to find my copy of "Gettin it"


LOL@ ODB bein drunk in that freestyle, Only one who can freestyle drunk is ODB the drunken master of hip hop.

its back!!

The new shyts looks trash.

Definitely in for streaming the old eps, however.

We need that episode where L.O.N.S. basically broke up on the air.

 

[OmegaK2099]

Anyone sell old eps on ebay? I need ny undercover too

 

[Jerz-2]

Actually....the more I think about it, there are a lot of classic moments in those old YO! MTV Raps! episodes:

Tupac incriminating himself live on camera over the Hughes Brothers assault.

Crack cocaine falling outta Flavor Flav's pocket live on air.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I’ve said the current generation should try a show like this to see what happens. This don’t look good at all though. Maybe if feel better about it if they called it something else

After over 27 years, YO! MTV Raps is set to make its return on May 24, and shares the official trailer ahead of its premiere.

Hosted by battle rapper and MTV’s Conceited and DJ Diamond Cuts, the revived program will keep its same formula of hip hop music videos, interviews, and in-studio performances and be streamed on Paramount+.

Freddie Gibbs will guest on the season premiere while other guests throughout the season include Latto, JID, Trina, Shenseea, Maino, Just Blaze, and Tee Grizzley, among others.

First aired in August 1988, YO! MTV Raps became the network’s first hip-hop music show before ending in August 1995.

KRS had the best verse. It was apparent Rakim spit a pre-written verse, I think everyone else was freestyled. KRS went straight off the head and basically killed it.

Well this isnt good... Yo! was anchored by youth that wanted to go on there and be introduced to their peers... all the guest listed has been out a while, and seems they are just doing a solid for the show because they remember Yo! MTV raps and are honored.. But if they youth doesnt buy it (and most of the youth dont mess with these people) this isnt going anywhere

Also, I think the host are great for this
