MTV YO TV

MTV YO Raps was a groundbreaking music video show that ran on MTV Europe from 1987 to the mid-1990s and on MTV US from August 1988 to August 1995. Ted Demme and Peter Dougherty made the American version of the show, which was the first hip hop music show on the network. The show was based on a show that started on MTV Europe a year before it started in the U.S.

Yo! MTV Raps was a two-hour show that showed rap videos, interviews with famous people, live in-studio performances, and funny skits. People loved the show right away, and it helped bring hip hop music and culture to a wider audience.

From 1990 to 2005, MTV Brasil also showed a Brazilian version of the show called Yo! MTV. This was in addition to the American and European versions. The show was hosted by a number of famous Brazilians, and it had a mix of Brazilian and foreign hip hop music.

In the United States, the show was first hosted by Fab 5 Freddy, who also hosted the first episode. But Doctor Dré and Ed Lover ran the show during the week, and T Money later joined them. The Ed Lover Dance, which was usually shown on Wednesdays and became popular in the 1990s on the weekday version of the show Yo! MTV Raps Today, became Ed Lover's signature move.

Overall, MTV YO Raps was a groundbreaking show that helped more people learn about hip hop music and culture. It was a hit with viewers because it had a mix of music, interviews, and humor. It also helped shape the direction of popular music and culture in the 1990s.
