They didnt play Prince before Thriller paved the way.
Before Thriller MTV didn't exist, Michael Jackson created MTV to showcase his Videos.
Oh Hell now I've gone and done it, I've said something as stupid as the the comment about there were no black artists on MTV before Michael Jackson....
For those of you sucked into the lies about MTV and black artists before Michael Jackson's thriller came out, this Video should ease your stereotypes....
Look up playlists on MTV in 81 and 82.
......no black artists on MTV before Michael Jackson.....
When MTV first came out there were not that many videos out there to play.....the whole MTV avoiding black artists is BS..
