It's hip hop's 50th birthday! On the latest episode of Milestones, Black media legend Ralph McDaniels joins to discuss the legacy of his pioneering television program, Video Music Box. Celebrating a milestone of its own this year, Video Music Box became one of the most important shows in music video history, as it illuminated a budding genre called hip hop, and centered Black youth culture overall at a time when it was not a consideration in mainstream media. Video Music Box stands as the longest running music video program in history.
