Who you tellin? The second season in VA was the shyt.
BET probably canceled College Hill because it was inspiring too many Blacks to go to College. They probably said fukk that let's give these nikkas more Tyler Perry movies and shyt like "Being Mary Jane".

Nah, see the first three seasons of College Hill were the best ones. It wasn't scripted and you saw them actually on campus being a student. Remember "no draws"? It was typical drama back then if there was anything ever to argue or fight about. The original people who created on the first three seasons of college hill was replaced after Viacom bought it out. You can def point out their work because those seasons were quality. When they took that shyt to Chicago and the islands it became all about drama, race and homosexuality. shyt was scripted with nothing but actors. It never showed them doing anything on campus. The last season they made back in '08 or '09 when they had that dumb ass girl who never have a fukk about her African heritage, dude fukking the same girls in his bed without changing sheets and the flamboyant homosexual...I knew that this would be the last season.

And fukk Viacom and BET!

I remember when the had Charlie Murphy hosting the show called We Got to Do better with an racist image of a black cartoon in the logo! Yeah Viacom, you think that I wouldn't remember did you? Just because you asked google to take down any images or videos of that racist show will not stop people from remembering!

And fukk Being Mary Jane, teaching our daughter to be whores sleeping with married men.

shyts fukked up.

fukk Viacom and BET :pacspit:

it's like bytching about why they don't show cartoons on network TV during the day the way they used to

Nah,cause parents don't care about children's entertainment anymore. They want their kids to watch prime time Love and Hip Hop and other ratchet shyt.

Thing is, Rap City got canned when the darkest rap era of all time came in (the one hit wonder era) around 2005 to 2010. Cat's dont even freestyle anymore and they are in the rap game for the short-term money and for the bytches.

As much as people can go on youtube and watch any video they want at anytime people like to have a pre planned selection & be surprised.

I used to love when BET would have rappers come on Saturday afternoons and have them choose their top 25 videos…..Even if it was a producer picking them usually we'd see gems that weren't regular rotation that you forgot about and you got an interview out of it.

Back when BET played videos I'd watch BET damn near all day…..There was a show that came on before rap city that aired videos, then rap city, then 106 and park and at night there'd be sit coms.

Then you had your Caribbean rhythms. It seems as tho now BET is content with showing old movies and re runs of older programs instead of developing their own series like they used to in the past.

holy moly I LOVED that top 25 countdown!

It's a money thing, Rap City ratings were generally going in a downward trend in part due to the youtube era, especially now because you can see them in hi-def, but also the natwork is catering to a female centric audience since that is where the bulk of the purchasing power is within the black community. Its a almost a reversal of the old television axioms of the 80s and 90's. Thats part of the reason I got out of the network television game its made up of marketing gurus and numbers guys figuring out how to maximize advertising dollars and the shows being vehicles to that.

So. Cal
Ratings would be fine today IMO. They need to bring it back. Change up the set, go on location to different cities, keep the freestyles, add battles, add a new host maybe even though I had not problem with Tigger. These dikkheads at BET gave up on that show too easily.
Everything but the battle rap shyt
