Big Tigger Announces The Return of BET’s “Rap City” TV Show: “This is Not A Drill”

Thursday (September 30), Big Tigger announced via an Instagram post that BET’s Rap City is being revamped for a 2.0 version of the show!

“This is not a drill,” he wrote in the caption. “This is not a throwback. #RapCity21!! Details soon. #RapCityRaisedMe #ATL.”

Big Tigger is Rap City’s most memorable host, so it’s only right that he be the one to introduce the show to a new generation. His announcement comes just on the heels of Tigger’s new show with Rapsody featured on REVOLTTV called Off Top which also incorporates a freestyle booth feel similar to Tha Basement.

The Rap City TV Show originally aired on the Black Entertainment Television (BET) network from August 11, 1989, to November 8, 2008. The program was an exclusive showcase for hip hop music videos, and features interviews with and freestyles from popular rappers, and often has guest DJs serve as co-hosts. Rap City returned in 2009, then again in 2013. The show has always had a special place in the hearts of Hip Hop fans and later became a historical staple in the genre. BET has been toying with the idea of bringing it back for years. This is an exciting return! We’re excited to see the revamp for a new generation.
