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?

Eminem released a Slim Shady EP, and Nas has a Pre Illmatic EP, both are great, especially the Nas one

Sadat X released the State of NY versus Derek Murphy. I love that guy!

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.
