R.I.P. "Rap City"

After 20 Hip-Hop-errific years, BET's "Rap City" is closing its doors tomorrow in a finale show that will air at 10 p.m. on BET.

In my opinion, "Rap City" has kind of fallen off over the past years and this probably stems from the fact that Hip Hop in general has fallen off over the past few years as well. But "Rap City" had a lot of great moments. A who's who of Hip Hoppers chilled in the basement, spoke on their music, and sometimes even kicked a freestyle or two (although the 'freestyle-ness' of some were questionable). All in all, it was a great show and it's somewhat sad to see it go.
