Better show:Yo! MTV Raps vs. Rap City
- Thread starter valet
- Start date
Rap City by far.
They showed much more underground videos/real rap videos and didn't just pander to the mainstream.

Rap City played and showcased more videos from underground artists. However, Yo MTV Raps in it's prime had an all around better show with the performances and interviews. But with all that said, Video Music Box>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I think that has more to do with the era they covered it, than the actual show itself.
from 88-95 that's pretty much the Golden Era of hip hop.
Rap City showed shyt you never seen on MTV, had the classic booth freestyles,
etc.

Rap City was a better show. But Yo! was very influential and had a wider audience.

Rap City really put on for hiphop in the late 80s and early 90s, even though I was too young to watch it until the last year. I've seen the re-runs and sh*t. It's Yo Raps easily.
Based on what the show did for hiphop.
