No disrespect, but Joe Clair and Big Tigger were and will forever be synonymous with “Rap City”. The reason I really fell in love with Hip-Hop! Salute to Joe Clair!

Joe Clair and Big Lez era of Rap City was the best. I didn't care too much for Rap City The Basement. I miss when Joe and Lez would go to different cities and interview rappers. I remember coming home from school and switching back and forth between Rap City and Video Music Box on channel 31 (for my New York heads) Can't forget Rap City Top 10, Video Soul, Video Vibrations, Teen Summit. Plus Hot 97 and New York Undercover at the same time. The 90's was unforgettable

@Dewayne Junior Bruh. The example you gave is exactly what Rap City Pre-Basement did. They always mixed underground with commercial hip hop. The Basement didn't start that. I watched the Basement too and the only difference was they filmed it in a basement and freestyled in the booth. They showed the same videos. They showed mainstream and non mainstream videos since its inception. That's what separated it from Yo MTV Raps and (to me) made it better. There were videos that aired on Joe/Lez Rap City that was underground as fuck and they only played it once or twice that I've discovered on KZitem 20 years later

@Dewayne Junior My initial comment was made because of my memories of Rap City and that era. I said I like Joe/Lez Rap City more than "Tha Basement". You like the Basement era. Ok cool. You're going way off track. Hip Hop wasn't as big during their time on Rap City but Big Tigger "Tha Basement" era was and remember that but that's not what my comment was about. I remember the type of videos they played and you're not gonna tell me otherwise. All I'm doing is reminiscing on the 90's era. If you prefer "Tha Basement" then that's cool
