Long before Yo MTV Raps and Rap city Ralph McDaniels Video Music Box loomed large. Not being from the east coast, all of us in 'Middle America' would just get snippets of the cultural revolution happening in NYC. We did our best to keep up, starting our own public radio show and later video show. Very informational and long overdue documentary on what helped blow up Hip-Hop and the black east coast cultural experience. They're right, the powers that be kept attempting to block this movement from the rest of the world but the groundbreaking art would not be stifled. I wish they would dive deeper into the commercialism powers that be that control the media but then, that would anger those powers. Video, as evidenced on Tik Tok and IG now is such a powerful force of communications every current media maker needs to study what enabled this medium to prosper as is does. Music and video will never die. Bravo Ralph and Thank YOU. Thanks to NAS to seeing the importance of sharing this story!
