Yo! MTV Raps Is Back For One Night
post by KM
Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts will feature former hosts Fab 5 Freddy, Ed Lover and Dr. Dre, as well as, some current and past hip-hop artists. The rundown includes: Ice Cube, Q-Tip, Scarface, Young Jeezy, Wiz Khalifa, DJ Khaled, Busta Rhymes, Common, Mac Miller, Machine Gun Kelly, Questlove, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Phife, Fat Joe, Tyga, Mike Epps, Ice T, Meek Mill, and Naughty By Nature.
"In this Classic Cuts special, people will go back to a seminal time in hip-hop which many have called the 'Golden Era' -- resulting in records that are as meaningful today as they were back then," says Fab 5 Freddy, the shows' original host.
"In order to appreciate how far hip-hop has come, you have to pay respect to the songs and artists that helped catapult the genre from a small community of fans to world domination."
Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts will air at midnight, EST.
Opinion:
This is a good move from every perspective. Kudos to all parties involved. Let's hope it is produced at a high level. Knowing MTV, it probably will be. This is not B.E.T we're dealing with here.
Watch the late Heavy D on Yo! MTV Raps from 1992.
