When Rap and Game Shows Meet - C'mon down, Tyga. You're the next contestant on ... Bustas? That's the name of the unaired MTV game show that Tyga appeared on back in 2008. Thanks to the digging of TMZ, you can see the unaired episode here. It features the Young Money MC freestyling poorly, saying he's from the burbs and had it easy growing up and all around acting kinda corny. But luckily for Tyga, this isn't the first time game shows and hip hop have crossed paths. Read on to check out some other notable examples. Game on! — Alex Gale (Photo: TMZ)
