BET has decided to scrap Rap City: Tha Basement, which has been pretty wack for a while now thanks to lame hosts, barely luke warm guests, and poor executive handling. For the full story on the demise of the longest running hip-hop show, click away.

Update: BET is replacing Rap City with a new show called “The Deal” hosted by DJ Diamond Cuts premiering on November 10.

  • LadyLuvsVodka

    Rap City is way pasted its prime. It hasn’t been the same since Joe Clair and Big Lez were there

    They only play good music that represents us as a culture.

  • LadyLuvsVodka

  • jalend

    Was ok with with Tig.. it could get by.

  • Ms. Toson

    Ever since my high school and college years, I always thought that show was weak. I used to sit through downloads of Yo MTV raps to pass the time.

    When are they going to cancel 106th & Park? They are sucking ass pretty bad right about now!

  • The Grundle

    Tigga is ah bulla. Hahahahaha

  • Lacombe Redbone (Creole by default)

    Ooooh flexible!!! lol

    …Nice High-Top Fade :)

  • eyes

    about time, it’s been weak since tigger left. In that pic he looks like Cam. lol!

  • High Life

    Does anyone still watch BET?

  • Superwoman (Most lipstick contains fish scales)

    LMAO at that picture of Tigger!!!

  • Side Eye Jones

    Is that Big Tig or Tevin? C’mon, ya’ll have got to be more clear on this one.

    Didn’t Superhead make some references to his anus in an interview a while ago? I thought she was full of it but daaaaang…

  • Anonymous3 – the fire sign

    I always giggle at this pic…I’m sure Tigga wasn’t all that happy when it started circulating….that show stunk…plain and simple…the only exciting moment was when Ghost Face punked Tigga on his own show….other than that, totally snooze city

    I heard rumors about him before Superhead was a known hoe. I heard he got caught in a hotel room in bed with a dude and there was blood on the sheets but who knows or really cares…..how pathetic he and most TV personalities are. They are all people who couldn’t make it is Entertainment so they settle for a lesser role while they desperately clammer for their own spot light…but never make it!!!!

    The smartest one so far is Ryan Seacrest!!! Can’t knock the hustle white boy!!!!

    THANK YOU!!! ROCSI is very unattractive and annoying to me (it’s like she is SUPPOSED to be cute, but didn’t quite make it IMHO)and Terrance is not even worth mentioning. He is HELLA HELLA HELLA CORNY!!!! One of those corny ass black dudes that wish they could qualify to date video vixens but end up just getting used and abused until they dont’ trust any woman anymore because they had such a poor choice of women in the first place.

  • Shardy

    JUST A LADY!!

  • Keisha

    @ High Life

    i dont watch BET anymore..for almost a 2 years now..i just cant take the foolishness they put on there..unlike the shows they put on there from back in the day.and im 18..lol..i thought BET is supposed to help our culture..but its doing the reverse..since im in college..they definitely dont have BET in the dorms or in this state at all..lol @ first i was pissed..but i was cool with it..

  • Keisha

    Everytime i look at this tigga picture i die laughing..men do ballet too you know!! lol

  • thatbrutha

    Why do black people have to be so waseful? Why do we play our music like a used snicker and toss it when its done? ROCK, ALTERNATIVE stands the test of time groups come back when they are in their 40′s yet we as BLACK FOKS JUST DON”T GET IT.

    RAP hasn’t been worth a damn since the 90′s

  • Smartie

    Tig,

    Did you let your hot dog shaped anal beads slip out ? Girl bye !

  • LMAO

    @thatbrutha

    Why do we play our music like a used snicker and toss it when its done?

    Well why the hell did you ask the question if you already knew the answer.

    I think you may have answered your own question.

  • http://www.soulfullvibes.com Soulfull Vibes

    The picture is way too funny!!

  • NewNew

    That’s the same position he was in when Tyson hit it…LOL!!

  • lala#1

    I did not even realize that Rap City is still on TV but then again, I can’t even remember the last time I tuned in to BET..or as I call it Black Equals Tacky.

    And what is up w/the picture?? At 1st I thought it was going to be a topic on homosexual rappers or something like that….

  • Seek the light beyond the shadows

    Damn that picture look sweet as malaises, there is no talking your way out of this one. If you didn’t have tendencies you would not perform like that.

  • STEFANY

    Good they need to scrap 106 & Park too and start airing more positive educational black shows for young people..I only saw 106 get serious one time and that was when the Sean Bell verdict came in and BET dedicated that whole day discussing police coruption and black issues, why can’t we have more of that.

  • “I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts, diddly-dee….”

    I was unaware that BET still existed…

  • charlie brown

    if I aint know no better, I would swear that that is a picture of that Bamma Big Tigger LMAO!!!

  • Anton Slizzardhands

    We don’t watch BET on mars

    yaDiG

  • Superwoman (Most lipstick contains fish scales)

    LOL I had to come back and laugh at that picture one more time! Ok i’m done for today.

  • Wenzel Dashington

  • JADED

    LadyLuvsVodka

    “Pasted” Oh my that is just to funny, to me

  • Dominique=Maxwell Fan♥

    oh my is that tigga in that pic?!?

  • Darkesthourglass

    I’m glad we at least have TVOne because BET is at a lost right now. I grew up during the days of Video Soul, Video Vibrations and Caribean Rhythms. I remember when Rap City first came out in ’89 with Chris Thomas. Couldn’t wait for it to come on. I haven’t seen that mess since the 90s. Should’ve canceled it around the same time they canceled Uncut and I actually loved Uncut at first but then it got old really quick.

  • Flawdagurl { This is only a test..GOD IS SO GOOD}

    Bet needs to step up there game is it me or do all the shows look like their missing something, like their production is not right.

  • BLYNZ OWN

    RAP TITTY IS BOOTY.IDK ABOUT TIGGA BEING GAY,BUT DAMN THEY DID MY NIG DIRTY POSTING THAT PIC .LMAO

  • Seek the light beyond the shadows

    Now I’m questioning is there any truth to Super Dom aka Super Head accusations? She said that Tigger had a loose booty. From the looks of things I believe her.

  • http://www.sohh.com saucefry

    That’s f&cked up!!! I luv Rap City for the videos and guests. Please don’t let RAP die!!! I need dat sh%t.

  • BIANCA

    TIGGA! OH HELL NO! I NEVER SAW THIS PIC. HOW YOU DOIN?

  • yeah i said it

    TIGGA LOOK A LIL NEYO ON THAT PIC

  • BossLady

    LMFAO at MissJones.net. Why does she have this pic? Was there some beef I need to know about??????

    @ BKLYNZ OWN-

    Ya dig? Oh boy.

  • LMAO(sad)

    Go Tigga Go Tigga Go Go Go GO !

    DROP DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SWEEP THE FLOOR WITH IT HONEY!.

  • http://www.myspace.com/phillystud PhillySTUD

    Yo PHILLY stand up!!! Philly’s own DJ Diamond Cutz is the shyt. If you dont know about her..ask about her. Homegirl isnt even 18 yet and she’s fly as hell. She could be the next K-Swiss in the making.

  • Yve

    I’m just waiting for them to cancel BET

  • redBEAUTI84

    Unlike most of the comments that state BET need to go all together, I believe BET need to be revamped inside and out. If get some young creative writers and stop trying to keep up with MTV, they won’t have this problem. BET get back to your people.

  • Kim

    WHAT A PANSY!

  • Wordz Of a Prophet (Blessed 4rm da womb 2 da tomb)

    LMAO @ da pic of Big Tigger looking like a BIG HOMO on da floor, and I stopped watching dat mess when he left anyway

  • Candygirl

    They could’ve saved this show by getting another host but Tigger killed it. It just sucked. After Fab 5 Freddy and Ed Lover nem stopped – I stopped watching. Tigger was always so boring to watch. Maybe if they had a old school cat perhaps Kool Moe Dee or Big Daddy Kane or maybe possibly some others -the show could’ve survived. By I give it them – it stayed on the air way past its due date like that damn TRL.

  • No Maam

    5..6…7..8

    snap and bend and fall and lift…… just watch me do it

  • $Foxxy$

    BET has lost all of it’s blackness, all they play is reruns of old black shows or movies. If you wanna see video’s you gotta watch MTV 2 the hispanic version. They show more video’s than BET, I have heard that a white man owns BET now, thats why it’s so whack!! go figure…now what do we have to relate to!!!!!! THANK GOD FOR OBAMA…GO OBAMA

  • FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    EVIDENTLY TIG WAS KNEW HE GOIN TO BE HOMO

    …HE’S BEEN PRACTICIN’ HIS FAVORITE SEX POSITIONS SINCE PUBERTY

  • Lukie

    He isn’t gay.

    I grew up with him in Co-op City.

    He was in a modeling club in High School.

    It was a fabulous way for them to get girls and show off.

    We grew up in the 90′s for cryin out loud…what do you expect?

  • Lukie

    and if I remember, he ran track as well.

    I believe that is one of the pics in his yearbook. He is warming up…

    DUH!

  • Truth
