I'm happy Ralph McDaniels is alive AND WELL to get his flowers. Uncle Ralph's was right around the corner from me on Bedford Ave bet Carroll and Crown St. His block parties were dope!

[@ankheltad8096]

Them Block Parties was everything! He even had the Lox there when they first popped off!💯

[@NeishaNineStarz]

This was truly one for the culture.

[@mccoyReturned]

When NYC was NYC, and the Possibilities were Endless!! For All of us. 🎯

[@BrownGirlFromBoston]

This was such a dope interview. Being a Bostonian, I knew about Uncle Ralph and VMB through my cousins in NYC and Jersey. Unc didn't give up despite being rejected by MTV; he got redirected to better. I can imagine all the footage and visuals he witnessed in 38 plus years. Doggie, I'm proud of you. You deserve all the appreciation and greatness that comes your way! 🙏🏾

The Showtime documentary on Ralph McDaniels and Video Music Box was excellent. Ralph McDaniels is the true Hip Hop Historian. He was documenting history of the music and the artists in it's New York City birthplace. Thank you for the brilliant work throughout the years.

[@MonaJ888]

I remember watching video music box back in the 80s, I was a little girl & it’s the reason why I fell in love with 5 minutes of funk. Video music box was coming on in New Orleans too back in the day.
