Despite reports that BET’s Rap City would be returning to programming this week, the show remains cancelled. While Canadian network MuchMusic features a program of the same name, which will be airing this year, the seminal Black Entertainment Television afternoon music program will not.
As social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook reacted to the confusing announcement, one of the show’s most memorable hosts, Big Tigger, revealed to fans that he had attempted to resurrect the 20-year Hip Hop show.
Wanna #thank all of u who continue 2 tweet 4 the #reincarnation of #RapCity – Dont look like it’ll happen – Even offered 2 buy the rights 🙁
Rap City aired from 1989 to 2009 on BET. Presently, Big Tigger is host of the morning show on 95.5 WPGC radio in Washington DC.
that fuck up they wouldnt sale tigger the rights…man we need something suckerfree sundays is not enuff
lack of video shows is one reason why record sales are down but nobody talks about it
FUCK THAT SHIT!!! BRING BACK YO! MTV RAPS MU’FUKKAS!!!
Rap City: The Basement with Tigger was the ONLY version of this show worth watchiing. The shit that followed his departure was garbage. Also 106 & Park with Tigger was the only host worth watching post AJ & Free
You played yourself Sun and just write it off that you are young, the Chris “The Mayor” Thomas and Early “Prince” DeJour versions were on point. Look it up lil homie or maybe you just forgot.
Shows like this and YO! MTV Raps can never truly exist in its purest form again. Like SuckerFree and 106 & Park there is no variety. The same shit you hear on the radio is the same shit you see on these shows. Rap City would appeal to all Hip-Hop Heads, they would play some Missy Elliot and follow it up with RedMan or Wu. Shit like that doesnt happen anymore you got Young Money followed by more Young Money then a Kanye track featuring Lil Wayne or Drake.
yo fareal you’d get a juvenile video then the roots right after ahh rap city we love u

man i miss rap city “the booth”

Rap City was good for its time, but the quality was taking a hit towards the end, with the same videos being played over and over and boring interviews. Maybe another Rap City, with a new format would revive some interest, but not likely. Not with music sales in the toilet.
Nico 3 is a lame cunt.
