Why '106 & Park' Ended For Good - Here's Why

[@buttrpecan9]

Hits from the streets used to have me cracking up. I grew up during the time where I remember all of these that you listed. It seemed like as time went on, technology was also growing. I used to record songs off of radio but once music videos were made, I had no need to record from radio. Then the era of technology boom was born and limewire, Napster and others had ways to download music. It seem like music videos were becoming less and less on television and reality tv became popular. Nowadays, KZbin is the place to come to relive those music videos experience that I used to rush home from school just watch a world premier video.

[@DavidRichardson95]

Back when BET had a variety of programming into the early 2000s. From the HBCU football games to the classic black and white films with iconic black stars from the '30s and '40s to _Video Soul_ to the _Top 20 Countdown_ to _Cita's World_ to _Planet Groove_ to _Midnight Soul_ to _Hitz from the Street_ to _Sprite Nite_ and the nightly news wedged in between. And don't forget about the _Walk of Fame_ specials. Even the BET Awards' early years must watch TV. The changing times with how everyone consumes music, TV and film on a daily basis changed how we look at entertainment, for better or worse. _106_ should've ended after Terrence and Rocsi. It quickly became the Bow Wow show after that.

Beyoncé didn’t have any influence over that show ending. The show was on life support and it was just time for it to end. Music and music platforms has changed drastically as well as social media and that was a major part of it along with the hosts not being the same since AJ and Free. I also believe that Terrence and Rossi’s incident was real. Their excuse for that made absolutely no sense. If she was on vacay, then that’s all they had to say. Anywho, the 106 and Park era cannot be recaptured, just like the 90’s. This generation missed out big time.

[@cavalrystyles8776]

They lost traction because the host just kept getting worse and worse. Tiger and Julisa was imo an improvement tho. I know, Unpopular opinion. Terrance and Rocsi on the other hand were the definition of Cringe. And Bowwow ever hosting was a joke.

[@cavalrystyles8776]

I also think they lost traction because there were fewer big names willing to keep ratings afloat. 106 started to become a Chitterling circuit after 2011.

I think the HOSTS are what is most important.

[@JS-ix6hr]

No one watches tv anymore, it’s all about streaming platforms and podcast. Plus people would rather just go see a video when they went to instead of waiting for a show to only show half of the video.

106 & Park when AJ & Free hosted it was like what Soul Train was to our parents back in their day. I’m old enough to remember it from the early days, every day after my big brother and me came home from school, that was the first thing we did was watch 106 & Park every day. And at school the kids would talk about the episode and etc, even if you were middle class or poor everybody knew about Aj and Free and 106 & Park. Sometimes you’d watch it at your friends house and vice versa after they AJ & Free left it became Trash, by the time we started to watch it again to see what it was like now Bow wow had taken over. And then it was canceled, that marked the end of an Era. Kids now just don’t know

Rocsi and Terrence get a bad rep sometimes...they did a good job with the show and you can't dismiss their Era. The show failed in the long run because BET didn't know what to do with it anymore. The constant changing of the format and hosts didn't help either. Bow I'm convinced in some way wanted it to be l about him and didn't want a co host and as popular as bow was...no one checking for a bow wow led show in the early 2010s.

106 park was a timeless show bck then I wish they rebooted it

[@MattMcClary]

I wish there was a streaming option for all the episodes of 106 and park

[@killasic]

While I respect 106 and Park, I really can't relate. My ish was Rap City, Yo MTV Raps, Planet Groove, Video Soul, Caribbean Rythm, and even Head Bangers Ball. However, if be remiss if I told you that I don't feel a lil nostalgia having seen this video. Just that time period alone invokes feelings of melancholy when I think back to those times. Good video.

No cap, from 5th grade thru the start of 10th grade BET was hella lit

[@Pretty30715]

Man I remember watching this after school. I loved the music and the entertainment. I love how on the tv show The Game, they brought in Free as a guest Star.

[@DJHeadrush]

So we’re just going throw the legacy of Video Soul out the window. Video Soul was on BET way before 106 & Park and Donnie Simpson interviewed all the artists from that era. Oh yeah….this was before TRL as well.

[@gmcneoplan84]

Man, I miss Free. Professional, bubbly personality, and being a host of 106 and Park fit her like a tailored jacket.

[@nicoleharrington9086]

BET only started to air in 2014 in South Africa about 2 weeks before 106&Park was axed. So I'm upset that I never got a chance to watch 106&park when A.J and Free was at the show

[@destinydivine8465]

106 and Park was a big part of my teenage years!!

[@JustSayin-mz9jb]

This was a great platform for artists. It would be dope if they found a way to reboot the series.

[@TaylorPlays_]

I would always watch 106 with my oldest brother. i missed AJ & Free so much 😭

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I miss 106 & Park. It's the TRL for the black audience. I dare say it's better than TRL, depending on the type of music you're into. Plus, IMO, AJ & Free are better hosts than Carson Daly.

[@larrymarshall8900]

True it was the black TRL for black folks but social media killed the show damn social media.

@@larrymarshall8900 Once KZbin hit and artist like Soulja Boy began to upload their music videos on KZbin. It was basically over for these type of shows with music video countdown. The rise of Vevo....

[@parisvines8827]

Bring back 106 and Park please!!!!

[@JayMuggah88]

106 was definitely a nostalgic vibe. Everybody whose anybody watched this in their hey days. I remember we would watch re-runs on tv in my 5th-grade music class on Fridays.

[@beezy22]

106 And Park:this was the go to show to watch after school in the 00s….After Free And A.J. left, 106 And Park went down the drain….

[@mztazh08]

The late 90s and early 2000s was the best time growing up frfr

[@kadesmith3054]

Before there was TRL and 106&Park, BET had Video Soul and Teen Summit which could not be touched, this was back when the B in BET stood for black ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

[@Tyweezy84]

106 & park was literally my childhood. Show was dope

[@THATGIRLCANREACT]

If 106 come back AJ and FREE needs to be the host again frfr

[@LifeBehindtheMusicandCameras]

This was my favorite video show back then. The nostalgia from just looking at this video

[@LuvHuni]

BET needs to relaunch some of there old shows. I would totally watch it. My tops were “midnight love”, “106”, “Rap City” and “Hits from the streets”. Anyone remember when Hits was at a college campus, met some girls with hairstyles and goes to each girl: “up-do, up-do, up-do” and the one without one “Do-do”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed for daysssss. I love hits, he needs to come back.

[@jacobbaker4545]

It ended for me when they stopped having black hosts. Its literally bet and they got hispanic hosts. They couldnt fins a black woman? That waa so frustration to me, even as a black man bc I got sisters that watchm they basically erased them, but always had a black male host tho

Can You Cover Why MTV2 Made a Friday cartoon without the late John Witherspoon who was doing The Boondocks at Adult Swim
