MTV Announces Unprecedented Expansion Of Hip-Hop Coverage Across All Channels | AllHipHop.com

Hip-Hop culture will get a boost in coverage thanks to a new programming initiative that was launched by MTV today (October 11).

MTV has announced plans to expand and unify Hip-Hop music coverage and content across all of its channels, under the MTV Jams brand name.

The goal is to extend the MTV Jams brand from its current, 24-hour digital channel, to all of MTV’s properties, including MTV, MTV2 and MTV.com.

The new programming initiative will see MTV2′s “Sucker Free Countdown” re-launched as “The Week in Jams,” starting on October 28.

“The Week in Jams” will include Hip-Hop lifestyle related content, from music and fashion, to sports and gossip.

In addition to the programming initiative, MTV is planning a series of tours throughout 2013 that will highlight a variety of artists who are featured in the new programming initiative.

I've always had love for MTV over other commercial media.
They always had good shyt going on and is a part of hiphops international expansion in the 90s.

Youtube did however kill their relevance as far as videos goes .

 

[Broccoli Rob]

I only watch Teen Moms anyway.

I'd rather they just play reruns of old Yo MTV Raps episodes.

RAP IS THE NEW WRESTLING.

It's about time, they take their format back to the 90s when MTV was the channel for all thing GOAT in music.

Too bad these new artists aren't worthy of the screen presence.

Remebers a random white MTV journalist interviewing Bone Thugs in Cleveland or Pac's first interview out of all jail in the studio.

MTV Jams is fine the way it is. Just play the fckn videos. They can keep all that "Hip-Hop lifestyle related content, from music and fashion, to sports and gossip" bullsht.....

fukking MTV...........Was down with hip-hop when it was cool, ditched music when it needed an outlet the most, and now that hip-hop is getting hot again they wanna stand close and get a little warm.

I see this as corporations trying to dictate what's good in hip-hop again cause they don't like the how rappers are making it without them. It's also less work for them cause they'll just wait till a rapper builds their own fanbase then pull a Jay-Z and act like they've been fukking with him from the start.

Or it could finally be cacs trying for the takeover of hip-hop like they've been trying to do for years.
