MTV was slow to pick up on rap music, but when it finally did, it produced this lively mix of rap videos, interviews with rap stars, live in studio performances (on Fridays) and comedy. It initially aired once a week, but as the show's popularity grew, it was expanded to six days a week, with Ed Lover, Dr. Dre and T-Money hosting during the week, and Fab Five Freddy hosting on the weekends. After the original hosts left, MTV replaced them with different ones each season.

The Dr. and ED bring down the house with hip hop!
blanbrn7 August 2021
Another one of "MTV's" classic shows growing up was "Yo! MTV Raps" and even though not being a big rap or hip hop fan I watched from time to time thru the week. As it was live and in studio with them often having rap guest doing interviews and showing videos with even studio performances and the host were kicking as Dr. Dre and Ed Lover had the moves going on in the house! The show was always upbeat and moving with the latest hipster and rapper trends. Yo really a classic from "MTV" that all early viewers will remember!
