    Are Eazy-E (It's on), Ice Cube (Kill at Will), and Digital Underground (This is an) the only mainstream rap artists to release a commercial EP? Any other examples?

    Hip hop would be a lot better off if there were more EP's. Too many 70 minute albums with filler tracks.

    Durrty Goodz - Axiom EP was great. Grime rather than hip hop but not many EP's in that genre either.

    Well i thought the Drake EP (So Far Gone) would have sprung to mind before now.

    Royce released the Revival EP in the spring, although was really just a sampler for street hop. Crooked I released an EP called Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist recently. Slum Village also had one out recently

    Jean Grae is also one that hasn't been mentioned - Bootleg of the Bootleg EP.

    Heck, wasn't the Jay-Z/Linkin Park collabo an EP as well?.

    MF EP - joint release between MF Doom and MF Grimm.
    MF Doom - Gazillion Ear

    Dooms done a fair few of them now that I think about it. Usually just a single and a few remixes.
