Yo! MTV Raps Returns This April
Ever since Yo! MTV Raps was cancelled in 1995, rap fans have been keeping their fingers crossed in hope of the return of the first real tv show to bring hip-hop to a mainstream audience. This April, their wish is granted as MTV will re-air the classic episodes hosted by Dr. Dre and Ed Lover, featuring Fab 5 Freddy to commemorate the show’s anniversary. While the re-runs plan to satisfy old-school rap lovers, this should be a wake up call to the network’s execs that hip-hop (or their videos) isn’t dead, and that they could very-well resurrect the show showcasing the talented new generation. After the jump, use the clip of the show’s all-star final episode to jog your memory…

Its no coincidence that hip hop died after this show went off the air. I hope MTV wises up and brings this show back to make new episodes.

This is soooo dope. If MTV does bring the show back though, they have to do it right. I don’t need to be watching another Rap City or Sucka Free. It’d have to be no bullshit, legit hip hop.

Finally the herbs @ MTV got something right for a change. I hope this is not some hoax. I don’t wanna get geared up to watch it and then the Hills comes on or something similarly corny and uninteresting. I don’t want MTV to make a new version of this….Soulja Boy and Yo!MTV Raps go about as well together as Bill O’Reilly and Yo! MTV Raps.
