It's time hip-hop got its due--and MTV paid its respects with Hip-Hop Week. We aired fresh programs like Def Jam Uncensored, MTV20: GRAB THE MIC - a Hip-Hop History, a special edition of VJ For A Day, MTV Cribs Presents: How To Live Large, MTV Cribs: Best of Hip-Hop, MTV News On Tour: After Party and MTV News Now Special Report: Hard Rhymes. Plus, we tossed special editions of TRL and Direct Effect.
Get the full story here with our 20-year history of hip-hop, from key artists to ground-breaking videos (yeah, we've got clips). Listen to continuous hip-hop music on Radio MTV.com and flip through pics of fab hip-hop homes.
