Editing Yo! MTV Raps (section)

===Rivalry===
Although ''[[Video Music Box]]'' is often considered the first contender, in 1989, former rival [[Black Entertainment Television|BET]] created competition by premiering ''[[Rap City (TV series)|Rap City]] ''. The show was the longest-running hip-hop program because of its 19-year run (ending in 2009). While ''Yo! MTV Raps''', which is now discontinued, generally focused on the rap scene from the East Coast and largely popular West Coast artists, ''Rap City'' also included videos from up-and-coming underground rappers from different regions of the US.
