Why did BET cancel Rap City?

[MartyMcFly]

it was dwindling tho.

mostly because the playlists started getting weaker & weaker.



dont forget big lez.

tigger was in the cut back then too. yall remember when he did the hip-hop news every friday? and iirc, wasnt he the voice of the countdown on saturdays?

You right, it was getting weaker and weaker by the day. But the game was changing and was getting weaker and weaker and I know it hurt Tig's feelings to have to play some of that shyt because he's a hip hop head of a high caliber and when he had his own hip hop show down here in the 90s before he left to go do The Basement, he showed his true colors

what u mean by the bolded?

He had a show on WPGC that was a companion show to his afternoon drive show. It was calked the hip hop critics and he'd have a few people on or artists and they'd play straight hip hop for about an hour and it was a lot of unreleased joints or joints by artists that weren't on the WPGC playlist and he'd often speak about how dope that shyt was compared to joints he had to play in the afternoon

Was it not a financially profitable project? I don't get it. That network is a POS and fukk Macklemore.

haha. i never really watched Hits From the Streets. that 3pm timeslot was a bit too early for me.

i always found it hillarious how he ended up being one of the pranksters on Punk'd.

had me like dam, none of these white folks ever watched BET, eh? notice, they never had him involved in any of the black pranks.

Many of the 90s and 00s babies scare me. Especially the black ones that refuse to learn history and think that color and our history is no longer important. At this rate, we gonna be forgotten in less than 10 years. Too many of them acting like Wiz Khalifa, all smoked/ liquor'd out thinking that all this shyt is cool and only caring about fukking hoes and getting (small) money

Hey dawg, I know this is 10 years old…

My Mom made it a chore for me to see Roots and learn some history.


Rap City was good though. Looking back, BET knew we got out of school at a certain time.




Did u ever watch BET Uncut???


What was your thoughts on the song White Girls by Mighty Casey and wbu Guerilla Black?

Lost its identity, new fans weren’t interested, old fans grew up and lost interest. Parent company turned music channels into reality TV, and rerun hubs
