MTV Raps" Rap music and hip-hop culture are as influential and prevalent as they have ever been, influencing all reaches of the globe and making an impact on all facets of society. Today, seeing rap artists and hip-hop being embraced and promoted on television, in movies and beyond may be the norm, but just three decades ago, the culture and music were still in the process of breaking the barriers that kept it from being accepted by mainstream America. However, in 1988, the hip-hop revolution would begin to be televised when MTV debuted Yo! MTV Raps, the network’s first large attempt at incorporating rap music videos into its format, enabling fans outside of major markets like New York City and L.A. pillar to see their favorite artists on the small screen. Premiering on August 6, 1988, Yo! MTV Raps would be a game-changer and quickly become an institution in hip-hop, with host Fab 5 Freddy, a legendary NYC graffiti writer and curator of cool, holding court over the proceedings and serving as rap’s first ambassador and conduit in providing context to music and the cultural lifestyle surrounding it. Originally aired solely over the weekend, the show was such a big hit out of the gate that it prompted MTV to add a daily weekday version, dubbed Yo! MTV Raps Today, which premiered the following year on March 13, 1989. Introducing Ed Lover and Doctor Dre as hosts of Yo! MTV Raps Today, the brand would catch wildfire and become a cultural phenomenon, being referenced by characters on TV shows like Doogie Howser, M.D. and Full House and helping spawn additional rap-centric shows, particularly BET Network’s Rap City, which made its own debut in January 1989 and became Yo!’s chief competition. As rap entered the ’90s, Yo! MTV Raps became even more of a cultural staple and was responsible for a number of landmark moments, making it must-see TV for rap fans young and old during its peak as the unofficial home of hip-hop. Unfortunately, Yo! MTV Raps would end its inaugural run on August 17, 1995, when the show aired its finale episode, which included a historic freestyle rap cipher featuring rap’s elite, including Rakim, KRS ONE, Erick Sermon, Chubb Rock, MC Serch and more. Indicative of the rap artists’ love and respect for Yo! MTV Raps and its hosts, the cipher has gone done as one of the most memorable in hip-hop history and ended the show with a bang
