YO: THE STORY OF 'YO: MTV RAPS!'
June 7, 2012  | By David Bianculli

VH1, 10:00 p.m. ET

So if the triumvirate of original hosts strikes you with nostalgia or intrigue – those hosts being Ed Lover, Dr. Dre and Fab 5 Freddy – here’s a new VH1 documentary that celebrates that particular corner of music TV history. LL Cool J and Sipha Sounds are seen from an early show at left.
