To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Puma Clydes and the inlfuential Yo! MTV Raps video show, the 2 brands joined forces to design some of the freshest old-skool foot faves and came up with the 'Ed & Dre's. We are now giving you the chance to don these kool kicks and keep your trousers from sagging too much with an original Yo! MTV Raps inspired belt buckle as well.
Yo! MTV Raps was the first showcase of hip hop music on the MTV network. Hosted by Dre and Ed Lover, formerly of Def Jam-signed group 'Original Concept' and Fab 5 Freddy, it premiered on August 6 1988 and eventually shut it's doors in August 1996.
Featuring a whos-who of the Hip Hop establishment such as DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Eric B. & Rakim , Public Enemy and Run DMC (they hosted the pilot show), the program was the video bible for all the world's rap-starved kids.
Yo! MTV Raps, was a show that single-handedly transformed the music climate across the globe. The show was a phenomenon from day one - the pilot was one of the highest rated programs to ever air on MTV, only Live Aid had ever received greater ratings.
The recent Yo! MTV Raps celebrations took place at the famous ' La Flèche d'Or' club in Paris where eveyone witnessed an historical treat...Hip hop stars had gathered at the venue and an historic collaboration between the man regularly cited as 'the world's greatest DJ', Cash Money, and 'the world's greatest entertainer', Doug E Fresh.
The impromptu performance was hailed by insiders as "one of the best live mic displays ever." In a twist of fate Doug E's usual DJ had missed his flight from Miami to Paris; Cash Money was asked by Dougie to step to the decks...and they produced a shocking show. The good news for fans is that the performance was captured by MTV who were filming at the party and plan to release the footage.
The intimate party played host to an eclectic mix of choice guests, including Cut Killer, legendary skate champ Scott Bourne, Daft Punk, and the hot new Atlantic Records star Kevin Michaels, as well as the usual cluster of grey-haired old-skool afficionados hanging out in the back bar.
We are putting 5 pairs of limited edition Yo! MTV Raps Puma Clydes and belt buckles up for grabs. To win a set answer this question now:
In what year did Yo! MTV Raps start?
Answer: 1988
Good Luck
