Circa late 90's. You could call up and request music videos. I knew the three digit code to all the good shite when it would pop up on the screen.

I would have been in my second year of college.. And I must have been out of the loop on this, but I never heard of it.

I used to love The Box. Bone Thugs and Coolio were the shite back then.

I member. Music Videos that I member were popular on The Box when I watched in like 7th grade:

Papa Roach - Last Resort

Eminem - Real Slim Shady

The Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch

Slipknot - Wait and Bleed

System of a Down - Chop Suey

Juvenile - Back that arse Up

Britney Spears - Oops I did it Again

I could probably try to dig deeper, but I'l leave it here for now.

I ordered tons of videos through my parents house phone and they never got billed once. It's not surprising it went under

We didn't have it on regular cable in Chalmette, but certain friends houses would somehow get it on regular t.v. not hooked up to cable. This was early to mid 90s. Easy E real muthafrickin Gs or sir mix a lot put em on tha glass were classics. Then when I got to LSU it was on cable so I would watch for old times sake.
