People all around the world watched and enjoyed Yo! MTV Raps when it aired between 1988 and 1995. A show that showcased a lot of live Hip Hop but was not aired worldwide was Arsenio Hall’s talk show. Say what you want about Arsenio – he gave a platform to a lot of Hip Hop’s greats of the time.
For all those of you who did not see these performances when they aired (and also for those of you who did) we have compiled this list with 11 dope performances. The video and audio is not always up to current standards, but there’s still plenty to enjoy. Have fun!
