My Best Of…. Yo! MTV Raps

For April it looks like MTV will be reliving some classic moments from the greatest show to ever appear on their network, Yo! MTV Raps. So, before they come with theirs I have decided to post some of my favorite segments ever filmed for a show that probably would be canceled after its first week in 2008.

I have to say that this list was heavily shortened due to the fact that I was unable to post most of my favorite moments. Its not like I have old tapes of episodes of Yo! (If a genie gave me three wishes…..) and YouTube is an awful resource.

They did save the best for last. For the final episode of Yo! they took some of the superstars who had appeared on the show over the years and gathered them together for a cipher of epic proportions.

This is classic material. The whole clan is here. All of Wu-Tang dressed in matching suits, and no smiling whatsoever. Ghostface is even in a Ghostface mask!!! ODB talking about being on welfare. Epic.

The video also has a second part that features ODB delivering the drunkest non-rhyming freestyle ever captured on cable television.

This may be the most confusing segment ever aired on the show. Faith No More doing Edge of the World with Ed Lover and Doctor Dre on backup and performing some questionable dancing.

Some stuff I didn’t post (cause I couldn’t find it):
– Tupac admitting to assaulting the Hughes Brothers
– Mary J and Grand Puba doing Whats the 411
– The first appearance of 3rd Bass on the show
– Public Enemy doing Can’t Truss It
– And about a million other performances
