RAMROD 96,172 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 MTV was still very young channel then, it was formed in August 1 1981. But Bowie sees lots of other channels did fare better and confronted them when he got to be interviewed by MTV. Listen about their discussions below.  (ïŸâăźâ)ïŸâ§*:ïœ„ïŸ be delulu until it becomes trululu (*ÂŽèžïœ*) âĄâĄâĄ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssslyboy 2,885 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It's true. It wasn't until Michael Jackson's Thriller album. MJ was so popular they pretty much had no choice but to bend and evolve. Flash forward to the nineties: wall to wall hip hop/r&b/rap videos. (Yes I'm old enough to remember this.)

I'm not sure what this has to do with MTV not playing POC videos in the 80s. It's honestly a different issue. I'm only mentioning all this for purposes of clarifying ... cause I'm old enough to remember all this lol ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
