#TBT Early 1980s. #MTV rarely played black artists, #BlackEntertainmentTelevision was just getting it's legs, so R&B music videos were usually low-budget and got limited exposure on locally-produced TV shows like #TheScene on #Detroit's #WGPR. We'd tape 'em on VHS and make copies and pass 'em around at school. This is what they looked like. Fer real! 🎵 🎶 📺 👍 😁 #SnoopDogg #SensualSeduction #Music #HipHop #RetroSoul

Loved this show. It connected me to a musical culture that almost seemed exotic to white suburban adolescent me. And yeah, this is where #DetroitTechno got some of it's first exposure. Thanks to @civicDetroitDan@a2mi.social for passing this along! 🎶👍 😁 #TheScene #WDET #WGPR https://wdet.org/2023/06/06/reflecting-on-the-cultural-legacy-of-the-scene/
