Let me address you Sir with the respect that you merit. As a 55 y/o Dominican American from HARLEM born and raised you are critical and vital to NYC Hip Hop spreading its wings and hugging the world. Uncle Ralph is very appropriate as a term of endearment for you. Channel 31 WNYC here in HARLEM, Manhattan
NYC channel 31 before yo MTV raps, Ralph McDaniels bought the heat for the kids that didn't have cable. My favorite video music box memory is "loves gonna get you" by KRS One✊🏽
Sitting on the end of the bed in a project apartment in The Bronx NY turning to the U channel 31 and starting to pop lock to the VMB intro!!! Great times! Word!
I have literally seen people stop fighting in the streets so cats could go watch Video Music Box back in the days 😂😂😂 Uncle Ralph McDaniels is the ORIGINAL UNCLE ya'll and he is too humble about his contributions to the culture of hip hop...he is an ICON and a major part of the early days and he is likely sitting on DECADES of footage. I was happy when they did the documentary that EVERYONE came to show respect down to Jay and Nas. ❤
Growing up out here in NY video music box was a MUST watch after school. Ralph us on to so much shit with music. He's another reason why I got into cool rock music lol Ralph McDaniels gave me culture as well and was the soundtrack to my childhood for sure
While I am grateful that you got Ralph McDaniels on when I clicked and saw one hour and 52 minutes in the preview I was so sad. I need at least 3 hours with video music box
Yall gotta get G Rap, Bernadette Price with Rockness, Buckshot, Puba, Smoothe da Hustla with Trigger the Gambler, UTFO, etc great interview every single episode from day one keepen captivated!! Been a fan of CNN, Nore, and Capone ❤
Video Music Box was GOLD to folks with no cable. it was all you needed better than BET. The shit you couldn’t see on there Ralph was playing! Legend without a question!
This is the TRUE RECORD HOLDER OF THE CULTURE .. DJ. RALPH MCDANIELS I GENUINELY LOVE THIS DIAMOND OF A SOUL 💎💚🗽 GREW UP WITH & WATCHING RALPH AN THE VID KID JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER KID GROWING UP IN NYC WENT TO HIS SHOWS & EVENTS WHEN RALPH WAS RECORDING I MEAN THIS IS MY YOUTH RIGHT HERE AND IT'S ABOUT FREAKIN TIME YOU HAD RALPH MCDANIELS SITTING AT THAT TABLE NORE FR FR RALPH RECORDED THE MOVEMENT .
I am so glad that this has finally happened 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 This man is a legend without him new York would never have been able to see hip hop videos there was no venue playing our music. And for all millennials back in the days most of us didn't have cable growing up. In fact there was no yo mtv raps or rap city. When we were growing up it was only him.
I've interviewed Ralph twice and I finally got to meet him in person in August and I lost it that's like being a wrestling fan in the early 90's and meeting Bret Hitman Hart I literally when back to being that kid from The Bronx (Marble Hill to be exact) again, I think I still am lol(what you're seeing here and this episode is how he is in real life very cool down to earth and humble) plus he's a Mets fan like me😎

31:10 I'm so glad Nore asked about The Box! I had a sneaky suspicion that MTV was behind it and they stole the name from Uncle Ralph. Video Music Box was a big part of a lot of our childhoods. Salute to you Uncle Ralph and the whole team for documenting the golden era of rap and throwbacks too.
Everytime I hear Whodini's Five Minutes Of Funk, I get energized thinking of Video Music Box! Salute Ralph McDaniels! If you a real NYer from back in the day, you know about VMB. Channel 31 on the UHF. This episode was long overdue! Get Rockness Monsta next.
