YouTube seems to be having a blast celebrating its 10th anniversary. It’s hard to believe that we’ve already enjoyed 10 years with the world’s most popular video sharing site, but before we raise a glass to the next 10, YouTube wants to take a look back at the videos, stars, and viral sensations that made it the popculture tentpole that it is today.
Throughout the year, YouTube’s A-Z campaign will be singling out the different types of content and the personalities that have helped build YouTube into a global media sensation. Today, in honor of the actual anniversary of YouTube’s beta launch, the video giant released a musical round-up of the A-Z lineup by hip-hop artitist Blackalicious. It’s a trip down YouTube memory lane, but after 10 years you could be forgiven for not getting every reference.
Lucky for you, we’ve got it covered. Here’s every video and creator that gets a shoutout.
