Talk:Video Music Box

I am sad to see the 'fact' tag being removed. I know Uncle Ralph is a distinguished part of Hip Hop history but the claim to being the first show to feature hip hop videos is a significant one and it should require a 3rd party reference to support this, not just the current IMDB entry. Do you have anything you can link to? Let's make this article rock solid. Rob Banzai (talk) 18:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to look for something else, but you can put a fact or check tag there in the meantime. Ramsquire ^{(throw me a line)} 19:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It looks like that NYT ref requires a login.Rob Banzai (talk) 19:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I changed the link to the actual book. I'm hoping to expand the article over the next few days to add brief sections on the hosts, including Crazy Sam, and also the weekly theme shows like "Nervous Thursdays" and "Old School Fridays" unfortunately a lot of the sources I am finding are subscription links and/or blogs. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. Also I changed the first sentence to say "one of the first". I know VMB premiered four years before YO and five years before Rap City, but I would have no way of knowing if there were other local shows before 1984. I also can't remember if New York Hot Tracks played hip hop videos, so I took out the absolute. Ramsquire ^{(throw me a line)} 21:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
