It’s a Wrap for Rap City
Posted by Bossip Staff
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.

Is that a pack of hot dogs on the floor?
Wow is that Tigger? Wow!!
Long overdue – noone watching it anyways.. Tired after Tigger left..
Rap City is way pasted its prime. It hasn’t been the same since Joe Clair and Big Lez were there
Dorry they moved the basement to http://www.tiltrockinc.com
They only play good music that represents us as a culture.
or tigger
Was ok with with Tig.. it could get by.
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 p***** the time.
OH…good job Bossip for knowing which wrap/rap to use and when to use it….
When are they going to cancel 106th & Park? They are sucking ***** pretty bad right about now!
Tigga is ah bulla. Hahahahaha
Ooooh flexible!!! lol
…Nice High-Top Fade
about time, it’s been weak since tigger left. In that pic he looks like Cam. lol!
Does anyone still watch BET?
W*****up, Lacombe!
LMAO at that picture of Tigger!!!
i TELL U, tIGGA DONE MESSED WITH THE WRONG ***** AND SHE SET HIS PIC UP ON bOSSIP. sO sAD… LOL
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…
I ain’t watched that ***** since……since……since……WOW!!! I can’t remember the last time I saw it or who was on it or even who was hosting it @ the time LMAO!!! I used to watch it RELIGIOULSY along with 106th and Park until they switched hosts and black music died!!!!
I HATED (and still do) Tigga and his non-rappin, boxin’ glove nose havin’ ***** but he was the best host.
DOWN WITH BET!!! They’re the devil!!!! They haven’t done anything origional or served as ANY motivation for the black community EVER and now since Bob Johnson sold out to Viacom a few years back, it’s a lost cause!!!
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!!!!
LOL! I am not calling him (Tigger) gay at all but that picture looks HELLA GAY! LMAO!! I think it was SuperHead that said it first! I can’t stop laughing!! FUNNY!

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 ***** 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.
JUST A LADY!!
Aww naw… First of all, why you got my boy looking like that!
Second, I agree that Rap City ain’t been ***** since The mayor and Joe Cleezy. Big Lez was a good host too. Tigger was a step down from those 3. The rest have been wack as hell!!!
They said that ***** was gay

You know how sometimes when your lying on the floor with your leg in the air you feel like having a little snack ,LMAO!.
@ 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 *****ed..but i was cool with it..
Everytime i look at this tigga picture i die laughing..men do ballet too you know!! lol
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
Tig,
Did you let your hot dog shaped ***** beads slip out ? Girl bye !
@thatbrutha

————————————————
Well why the hell did you ask the question if you already knew the answer.
I think you may have answered your own question.
The picture is way too funny!!
That’s the same position he was in when Tyson hit it…LOL!!
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….
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.
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 was unaware that BET still existed…
if I aint know no better, I would swear that that is a picture of that Bamma Big Tigger LMAO!!!
We don’t watch BET on mars
yaDiG
LOL I had to come back and laugh at that picture one more time! Ok i’m done for today.
How you doin’ homie?
LadyLuvsVodka
Rap City is way pasted its prime. It hasn’t been the same since Joe Clair and Big Lez were there
“Pasted” Oh my that is just to funny, to me
oh my is that tigga in that pic?!?
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.
^^^^I stopped watching BET when “Midnight Love” stopped airing. I used to love it because that is when BET was out of DC and it was called Midnight Love but it came on 3 hours early out here in Cali @ 9:00pm lol. I couldn’t WAIT to see the videos to the songs that they didn’t even play out here in Cali cuz they weren’t “top 20″ and that is all the urban stations out here are allowed to play versus down south and midwest
If it weren’t for Midnight love, I never would have heard “Gotta Be” by Jagged Edge (TILL THIS DAY THE *****IN JAM) or seen the remix video with Destiney’s Child playing the girlfriends
I would have never seen “No,No,No” the origional slow version video and I would have never known that Beyonce could really sing @ one time.
Tigger is *****ing gay..
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.
RAP *****Y IS BOOTY.IDK ABOUT TIGGA BEING GAY,BUT DAMN THEY DID MY NIG DIRTY POSTING THAT PIC .LMAO
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.
Now if we can only get rid of BET in general,we might actually be able to hold our heads up as a people again. Seriously,what BET has become breaks my heart. I remember when they actually served and informed the community. Now they just help to perpetuate the worst possible stereotypes about us. What happened to the love? What happened to the news? What happened to Black College Football? They have failed us miserably over the past years by trying to imitate MTV. We don’t need Black versions of the pathetic trash that they show,we need shows produced,written,directed and starring US!! Where are our Soaps? Where are our Game Shows? Where are our courtroom and medical dramas? BET could have given us ALL of these but they decided that we wanted Bull***** realty shows about singers and rappers. Black actors and directors have a hard enough time finding work in Hollywood,and the ONE so-called Black network can’t even find a way to showcase them. F#*K BET!
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.
TIGGA! OH HELL NO! I NEVER SAW THIS PIC. HOW YOU DOIN?
TIGGA LOOK A LIL NEYO ON THAT PIC
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.

SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOP!
Go Tigga Go Tigga Go Go Go GO !
DROP DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SWEEP THE FLOOR WITH IT HONEY!.
I usually come to Bossip to tell it accurately. Apparently, your falling off a bit. For your information, Video Music Box is the longest-running hiphop show. Get it together, Bossip!
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.
DAMN TIGGER IS GAY…THAT ***** IS TRUE….WHOA!
I’m just waiting for them to cancel BET
Is it me or does Bossip make all black men out to be gay or swirl offenders?
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.
BET is some *****
That’s why Bob Johnson sold it
Aint *****ody watching that bull*****
Same ***** over and over like *****ot ***** Tigger
i bet tigger ashole is still ripped to the white .
Again we must ask: Why is Tigger’s hand open?
WHAT A PANSY!
LMAO @ da pic of Big Tigger looking like a BIG HOMO on da floor, and I stopped watching dat mess when he left anyway
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.
5..6…7..8
snap and bend and fall and lift…… just watch me do it
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
EVIDENTLY TIG WAS KNEW HE GOIN TO BE HOMO
…HE’S BEEN PRACTICIN’ HIS FAVORITE SEX POSITIONS SINCE PUBERTY
GAY!
IS DAT TIGGA??? WHAT DA….???
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?
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!
