Yo! MTV

Yo! MTV is Pluto TV's dedicated hip-hop channel, and it's a pure time capsule. No reality shows, no VJ chatter, just wall-to-wall music videos from the golden era to now. The programming leans heavy on 90s and 2000s staples: Biggie, Tupac, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott. You'll also get newer clips from Drake, Kendrick, and Cardi B, but the curation feels nostalgic first. That's fine if you want the old MTV vibe without the Jersey Shore interruptions. The playlist repeats every few hours, which is either comforting or maddening depending on your patience. For the price (free with ads), it's a solid background loop. If you're trying to watch Yo! MTV online, Pluto TV's app is smooth, the stream holds up in 720p, no buffering issues on standard connections. Music tv United States doesn't get much more straightforward than this: a channel that knows exactly what it wants to be. Don't expect discovery or deep cuts, but for a quick hit of nostalgia, it delivers.
