106 & Park Was Truly The Culture's Last Stand

[LandryFieldsDad]

Getting rid of freestyle Friday was the start

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Anybody who gave a fukk about 106 & park after AJ & Free left must have been mad young

everybody and they momma stopped watching back then

by 2006 anything interesting on cable would be on youtube the next day

bro what? lotta big moments happened under the Rosci/Terrance J administration.....including

1. the Kanye vs 50 Cent showdown
2. Nas & Jay Z performance
3. Michael Jackson death announcement
4. Rosci and Terrance J beefing live.
5. Blind Fury freestyle battles
etc

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Not really. Teen Summit was.

Or when Johnson sold BET to Viacom.

Bottom Line

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

There wasn't some mass exodus of 106 after AJ and Free. That show was still watched and as I said there were big moments on that show even after AJ and Free left.

It doesn’t compare. We can go bar for bar if you’d like

…And watch reruns on bet and reminisce on it what it use to be

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

I still remember watching the very first episode, that and MTV's Direct Effect both debuted around the same time, fall 2000.

Rap City was better than both to me.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Yeah.The deculturialization has been brutal. Transitioning into this social media vacuum, even more so.I hate it, but the withdrawals keep bringing me back.These muthafukkas got me

That era of music TV was the last of what kept the culture in check.

Once BET was sold and stopped being completely black-owned, it was over. That's when everything switched over to their interpretation of the culture and not ours. Ain't been the same since.

 

[Cheese McNair]

I’m trippin that people were still watching after AJ and Free left.
The show ended to me once they came on crying, saying it was the last episode.

 

[The War Report]

It was over long before that.

Actually BET got sold to Viacom in 2001 and 106 & Park was a result of that. It was made to be a Black TRL.

When it was in DC and Black owned with Teen Summit and Rap City on location was when it was really Black.

 

[Gains]

I only watched Rap City

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

The show was still poppin after AJ and Free left.

Terrence J and Rocsi were still popular. It’s after they left that it lost relevancy.
