We previously covered this next topic over at Saturday Morning Archives many moons ago, but it's way past time to profile it here.
"It" being Yo! MTV Raps, which launched as a Saturday morning entry in 1988, and added a weekday edition not too long after.
Fab 5 Freddy, immortalized in the lyrics to Blondie's 1981 hit, "Rapture", hosted the Saturday show, while Dr. Dre (NY) and Ed Lover had the gig Monday-Friday afternoons for a 30 minute after-school treat.
In both cases, the hosts featured and interviewed some of the top names in hip-hop, but Dre & Ed brought the funny on weekdays. One popular feature was Ed doing his own signature dance, as seen in this compilation.....
