Hip hop is sho-nuff dead. R&B would be too, if it wasn't for musiq, jill, and lauryn, erykah, india, and alicia. I heard Jay-z's blueprint 2 and almost threw up. What the hell? I grew up on yo mtv raps and bet's rap city when it was joe clair and big lez. Now...I can't stand the radio. I have to go and buy old school music to keep me afloat...

I agree wholeheartedly with you, Diva_01. I actually saw and taped the 1st episode of Yo! MTV Raps hosted by Run DMC (8/6/88) and loved the show. I grew up on Rap City when it was hosted by Chris Thomas (mayor). CLASSIC.

If you don't have cable, get it and watch the VH1 Soul Channel. While it ain't quite Yo! or Rap City, it'll do just fine and will DEFINATELY keep you afloat. All videos. All the time.

Yes! This channel is my life soundtrack lol, it's always on in the background, it lets me know that hip hop is alive (they show loads of artists just about to hit the mainstream), and plays some good ol tunes, it gives me hope at the end of the day
