MTV2 is bringing back “Yo! MTV Raps!,” the show that turned on a generation of MTV viewers to a mysterious new musical form called hip-hop. Sadly it will be for only one night.
The show, which originally aired from August 1988 through 1995, helped bring once little-known acts like Ice-T, A Tribe Called Quest and Public Enemy to households across America as hip-hop exploded in popularity. T
The show will return as a 30-minute retrospective called “Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts,” and will on MTV2 immediately after the first-ever “Sucker Free Awards” on December 4.
