If the box was still around which rapper do you think would run it.

[satyrone]

[RawAce]

drake & wayne

ICP

i would say ross but niggas in the hood aint payin for music no more(outside of club performances)

 

[YapatnaJB]

The box was uncut before uncut.. All these party/club songs would have it on lock with naked broads

 

[RawAce]

smh

we are talkin about 2 different things.

not the show started by mr mcdaniels,

we are talking about THE BOX which is now MTV2.

it was a channel where you called a number,gave a code for the video you wanna see and then they charge it to your phone bill.

kids used to be runnin up the phone bill and parents didnt even know wtf was goin on at first.

2pac & bone stayed in rotation back in the day.

i think The Crossroads video was the most requested video of all time

 

[RawAce]

now that its mentioned,

Ralph McDaniels deserves more recognition.

Him and DJ Red Alert.

 

[Lincoln]

[Rahlow]

It was called "Video Jukebox Network" before it was "The Box"

I was 16 when that shit hit the L.A. Cable TV scene in 1989 and all ya heard was Vanilla Ice back to back to back. Then X-Clan "Heed The Word of the Brother" was quite frequently requested shortly after.

These days it could be anybody because rappers would spend they advertisement budget and more making sure they got rotation on the Box probably moreso indie groups than mainstream commercial. A video was $3.99 back then.

 

[DarthRozay]

YMCMB probably

 

[A1000MILES]

Lol, "Crossroads" used to be on that bitch all the time...I'm like who votin for this shit...?

 

[Little JJ]
