The first reason it was GOAT is because he had LL Cool J on back in 89 and LL invented the term GOAT. He had Kool Moe Dee on the next week and they discussed their beef. Arsenio didn't just have rappers perform but they sat on his couch and he talked with them for five or ten minutes. Other late night hosts like Dave Letterman, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and Joan Rivers might of had a rapper perform once or twice a year but they weren't sitting on the couch.
So anyway, Arsenio Hall, Yo! MTV Raps, Rap City, a syndicated show called Pump It Up with host Dee Barnes were all on the air during that era. If you lived in New York City they had Video Music Box with Ralph McDaniels which came out in 1984 and I think its still running. This was before the internet so if you were really into Rap you might schedule your weekend around those shows.
So that was 25 years ago. Arsenio Hall got back on the air last year but they cancelled it. Fair enough. I'd like to see the so-called rap moguls bring the show back. Even if it doesn't get the ratings, its the principle. We can't let our shows get cancelled because White people don't watch it. Even if the show loses money and doesn't make a profit from sponsors it should still be on the air. We owe it to Hip Hop and Arsenio Hall who is really the first Late Night Hip Hop talk show host.

Not a Black owned major distribution company. Not an alternative media outlet. Not some sort of organization which could topple the existing corporate structure which has degraded the culture into the clusterfuck it is today...
You talmbout a talk show?

It's more than just a talk show. It's a tradition and a manifestation of empowerment. Hip Hop is being controlled by outsiders. Its time for the true players in the game to pool their resources and create something as powerful and long lasting like Hot 97 or Clear Channel.
The reason they should get together along with Master P, Birdman and even Dame Dash is because they all have business experience and have paid their dues in Hip Hop. They earned their stripes. They can collectively shit on Paul Rosenberg or any of the other culture vultures that suck the blood out of what we created.

I wanna see older artists get compensated in the form of a rappers union and make these younger artists have to kick up bread to the pioneers and og's.
That won't happen neither.
