YESSSS

Really love your channel been watching since day one and learn a lot thank you!!

Yay!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Yassssss 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️

Yay! I can't wait. The 2010s are my childhood! :)

Or Trl. It upsetting cause both of these shows were my childhood 😢

Yeah it's sad cause I wouldn't have got into 106 if it weren't for my older siblings but we gotta move forward. We all gotta deal with change rather we like it or not.

It so super sad.

It’s upsetting me and my homegirls (y’all) 😪

Agreed

Those were the Golden Years of the show

Free shoe game was everything

@@albumU7184 Free wore boots winter, spring summer and fall and was fly asf

I agree with this 100% All the hosts after them were boring, and I loved Free's shoes!

106 & Park was never the same after AJ and Free ...that's why its gone .

Sadly I learned that lesson also with the company I was previously at!

So right I find it's a valuable lesson in life in general. Enjoy the moment, do your best and give your all, but when due season is up leave knowing you did your part, thank God for the opportunity, and look forward to your next assignment.

Facts 💯💯

TRUTH

Real Talk

Same here

Yup

I say this all time. So glad I grew up in the era I did.

Yea

Me too! I’m 33 and it was an amazing time to be a teen. The music and content on tv was so much better. The generation born in the 2000’s and 2010’s would never understand unfortunately

So true! I always say social media is a blessing and a curse. Like having an abusive spouse who buys you anything you want.

*YES!*

yes girl

True

You can say that again!

lacefronts

It was almost as perplexing and mysterious as what was really all under Sway's beanie 😂🤣🤣.

AJ looked "progressive" at the time

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯

I remember my freshman year homecoming sewing it up close. It was a no bueno situation

😂

@@williamwade6275I’m not familiar with the show or these people, what’s funny?

🎯 perfectly said ❤️

I wish there was a space like that for us now.

Yes. I remember they used to have segments where the spoke about safe sex and brought awareness to HIV/AIDS on World AIDS day. This was important if you consider the fact that not a lot of public schools have sex education.

BET was a totally different network back then, you had Teen Summit, Caribbean Rhythms, The Black College Tour, Tavis Smiley, Rap City, and tons of other great platforms for us to express ourselves on.. news geared towards us.. Viacom bought it strictly to destroy it. I would love to hear why Robert Johnson Jr sold it, because I doubt it was for money since he was a billionaire already.

@@missyd1215 Facts! We need it desperately nowadays.

Or set it off or a tyler perry movie

Factsssss both ways ⭕❌

Well since Viacom owns MTV and VH1, who are basically airing the same type of movies, they had to do the same for BET. Actually after they bought this station, you didn’t see shows like Video Soul, Teen Summit, BET Tonight, etc.; just those Tyler Perry movies like you mentioned.

Forgot all about comic view!!

Midnight love, Boy boy!!! Don't forget that!!! Bang Bang Bang 👏. REAL TALK...treypound Sacramento

i remember watching that episode when i was 12...i was so saddened by her death

“Getting Paid In The Escalade” was the theme. I was 13 and remember it like it was this morning

Justin Beiber was there too back in the day as well

Even lady Gaga was on there it went viral on Twitter today I was so shocked lol

Yes 🙌🏿 it was

😎 I think everyone’s seen this show at least once in their lives

Okay!

Mines too 👌

Same here

Same..!! That was like my after school hip-hop show.

I miss the 1990's

I wish we could go back. I had rocsi and Terrance but I still remember sh and free although I was just a kid. I miss the early 00s too

Facts smh

Me too

FRFR

And everyone knew to sit tf down and shut up while it was on. I miss the days when movies and TV shows brought the family together.

Facts Them Shows Used Be My Daily Routine When I Used To Turn The Channel From Toonami (Cartoon Network) Into To BET I Watched Both Of The Shows Rap City & 106 & Park On The Weekend Side BET 25 Countdown Citas World BET’s UNCUT

Tv isn't popular anymore. Kids can watch stuff on the go now.

Real talk 😂

The problem was they didn't have a power agent behind them.

In my opinion 106& Park died the day Bow Wow was announced as a host. I quit watching after that, I don’t know why but I just lost interest.

@@msnewsenior cause it was Bow Wow.

@@919ENTERTAINMENTLLC Yeah I wasn’t going to there but exactly. He acted like Bow Wow the rapper instead of just trying to host the show. Every time a rapper was on he had to remind everyone he had a rap career. Occasionally he acted bitter towards some of the male rappers especially Drake like he resented them.

@@msnewsenior I mean I can see his frustration teen idol to show host with his career in the dumpster...but what he should have seen a second lease on my celebrity life and make it the best.

Exactly!!!!

This !!!

@@Chitownhomestead I liked that about her too.

@@Chitownhomestead this was when people looked at natural hair as bad I thought it was pretty on her.

@@musiclover-cn7tb really natural hair was a bad thing🤔🤔i never knew that

I 💯 percent agree!

Hip hop never went commercial ever. That 2005 shit and up ain't hip hop

Yes! Well said

Soon as I got off the bus I ran home 2 catch the rap city freestyle and then 106

@@dominiquejones3805 Yesss I LOVED Rap City!! The freestyle was my fav part! I remember I could barely get through my homework watching both shows

For real though

Beautifully crafted. I remember when aaliyahs rock the boat stayed at number 1 for almost three months.

Me too. I remember when they did a casting looking for new host and I was done.

I agree but it was kinda dope that Big Tigger hosted for a year because he also left rap city in 2004

Well MTV TRL had no culture...bland shit.

I had no idea that 106 N Park’s viewership was higher then TRL’s. This goes to show WE are the culture.

@@MysteryUnfold come on man I thought u knew 😂

Tr8

They really were! You know certain people left a mark on you when you get emotional about their absences or in Aaliyah’s case, her passing 💔🕊

So True!

Damn, I remember the Aaliyah announcement. People grieved like they lost a family member.

& I wanna go back to that era in time , I lovvvved me some 106&park. The FREEstyle Fridays were so fun to watch 😞

@@msnewsenior same. The show was so somber and I even remember Free being so sad to the point of tears

Stayed on point!

Yessss!pizza slice boot 😂

And hair

@@LilithsCosmicLounge omg yes!!!

@@LilithsCosmicLounge BET’s KZfaq channel has old interview clips from 106. Maybe they will upload full episodes on BET+ someday.

Yes they did them both dirty

i bet they were phenomenal. ive only experienced terrence and rocsi and they were great too....after bow wow came thats when i stopped watching

I wouldn't include 95 and 96. Maybe 85-94

@@CaressLorthaya 95 /96 was old enough to remember aj and free

@@westisbest3362 95 and 96 had instagram all throughout HS social media babies.

@@CaressLorthaya yeah like 94 babies grew up with beepers like us lol imma 87 baby and i dont have nothing in common with people born after 91 tbh

Always thought she resembled MJB for real

I thought that they were related at one point because they look so much alike.

Totally agreed!!!! They could pass for sisters for sure.

Yes she is very beautiful

I thought I was the only one that seen the resemblance

Yes

Me too bruh, he seemed like they created him for the show. Goofy clothes and a weird asf hairstyle but yeah respect now.

I thought of him the same way. He's clearly a real one... Respect to him

I think we all thought that back then. Even still he was the perfect fit for the show

This Comment !

You said a mouthful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So true

Right! I said the same thing.

Spot on!!! I never understood why my mother took my sisqo and Mase cd away at 14 until I got older and read the lyrics of those songs and other popular songs such as Barbie Girl at the time even as recent as last yr. The fact that I was so naive....damn.

Speak That Truth

I remember that and it was completely heartbreaking

Her last interview was on there too, I think. R.I.P. Aaliyah.

Very overwhelming to watch

Yes! Ill never forget that episode. Everybody was calling in.

Very memorable episode

And nobody wants to talk about this! How murder rates have increased, violence as a whole has increased.

It's funny how he wasn't saying those things when he was working for BET. He only had these things to say after he was gone and no longer collecting a check, so his words mean little to nothing coming from him.

@@muvamiah1974 That's right. Let's blame the music instead of the lack of good parenting and role models in our community.

@@KKelly-ng1ni according to the numbers, the music has a higher impact on murder rates than bad parenting. Not dismissing your argument that parents are at fault but at the end of the day this music is hyping it

@@muvamiah1974 Not only parents, but relatives who are criminals are a big influence on young people around them. Then you have all of the violent movies, TV shows and video games. I think the music is the easiest thing to target in all of the equation.

GIRL!!💀😂😂

🥲🥲😭😭😭😭😭

🤣😂🤣😂

OMG i forgot about that! 🤣 The showmanship, the dramatics lmao

I can't with this comment! 🤣😂💀

The bomb!

🔥🔥🔥

Hell yeah... *CITAAAAAAAA*

That was my ISH

Cita was a MESS 😂

Well I'd say we caught the tail end of it. I was 17 and 18 in 2005 birthday in the middle of year.

@@firstletter1412 Yeah, you caught the tail end.

Exactly!

Golden era of what? I'm missing context. I was aware of count down shows but i think i was too young to enjoy them like teenagers in the mid 2000s.

You know you getting old when you start talking about the old days like your parents.. Lol time fly

There was another Show as well that were great for the Teenagers. Called Teen Summit. I agree once everything went digital shows just weren't able to sustain. The 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and the earlier 2000s were the best time for Television.

Never even realized that was the end of an Era fr.

I remember when everything went digital like in 2013. All the shows died

No sh!t

The two ppl they replaced them w were WACK. The girl didn't even look blk 🙄

A bad move. One that wasn’t well thought out. The ratings should be what guides. If it were about “keeping it fresh” they had fresh. They didn’t want to increase their salary.

Yeah, the ratings were tops, so it wasn't the reason they didn't give them longer term contracts.

Fr, he was really pointing at programming that a lot people can’t see smh . love AJ he kept it professional and he told his truth respectful love to see that

Right!!! He wasn't lying.

🎯🎯🎯 facts!!!

This is reminding me of how BET virtually banned the rap group, Little Brother from promoting a lot of their tracks from the album 'The Minstrel Show' because it was "too intelligent". (More info should be on their Wikipedia and Google if you want it.) Completely fked up that a network for Black teens and adults was operating like a YT media network - keeping the masses dumb. Smh!

@@laylayofficial9001 definitely not lying but its hard to combat that truth with everyone saying its up to the parents to monitor what their kids listen to. Its really not that simple. You’d literally have to home school your kids with no access to TV/wifi or friends.

Remember when Terrance talked about Rocsi breathe and she stormed off the show lol

@@discoveringdee4407 LMFAOOO yes

It sure did! BET is straight TRASH!

Even the BET Awards aren’t what they used to be 😫.

It's garbage and you can tell!! 🗑🗑

If Beyonce would've gave him that Lap dance for "Cater 2 U" maybe he'd still be here 🙄😒😂🤣 (shout out to those who remember his BET Awards speech)

@@TalentedKamarty 🤣

Omg yess

Mary J and Venus and Serena all in one!

Remember the rumor of them being related, don't 4get the rumor Free and Jay smashed

I was just thinking the same

I swear

I felt it too sis, all it does is just makes me sigh and reminisce.

Eboni, your hair is 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Are you a hair vlogger? I need your secrets

Yess😭

😔

💯

True, unfortunately 🤦🏾‍♀️

That part!..........

I was SOOOOOO angry & COULD NOT get with nor understood having a non-blk woman as a host. It completely turned me off from 106 & Park & BET as a whole! It made no sense & I completely stopped watching 106 & Park. Hell, I stopped watching BET altogether. As a very young black women in the late 90s / early 2000s, it was extremely important & meant so much to me having Free; a natural, natural hair, beautiful, intelligent well dressed “darker” complexioned blk women representation on my TV screen everyday (especially since I grew up in a predominantly yt, suburban community) . I thought I was the only person that felt this way. BET completely dropped the ball & further doomed 106 & Park by replacing Free with a non-blk female host. Always wondered if they’re aware that played a MAJOR part in the demise of the show?

True.

Facts

Very factual 😎

That’s What I Fuck With That Boy

AJ wouldn’t sell his soul and Free was probably HELLA VOCAL about not selling her soul too. I’m sure she fussed Stephen Hill ass out and they either fired her, or she quit right before that award show. I didn’t think it was possible, but this makes me respect them EVEN MORE 🤩👏🏾

Yet he did tho....dot

Yep this generation sucks

Same for my 33 year old self!!

I agree with you guys. I am being taken down memory lane.....the early 2000's. It was all about the group B2K for me😍, Destiny's Child, Chris Brown. Those were some fun times.

Yay 80's Baby 🥳

I’m 31 and I wanna CRYYYYY. 106 was my LIFE‼️ I use to record bow wow and b2k on the VHS 😩😩

It sucks. Too much technology, you can just go to a KZfaq Channel to look at top 10s, but who does that. We need a Time Machine lmao

@@TheKing60210 yea I know bet 106 park was awesome back in the day I missed those day's it just garbage know

AJ was an educate brother so you know some parts of the black experience is going to take a dig at him.

@@919ENTERTAINMENTLLC You can say that again...

I remember that to this day. The guy told his opponent “ you rap like AJ dress, terrible”

@@Cede90 it's funny because that same guy probably dresses today (if he's alive) like how Aj dressed than.

@@919ENTERTAINMENTLLC Very well stated.

Omfg I was going to comment that lmaooo 🤣🤣

​@@aubreysky9489same here.

Terrance and Rocsi weren't that bad tbh, they just lack chemistry. Bow and rest on the other hand were the real cornballs as hosts! That's why I slowly stopped watching 106 during their time. 106 would've been still alive if they had better hosts.

@Jayzo Mamba Mentally I didn't like bow Wow and the others as host

@@NJPWGirlFacts. But I loved Terrence and Rocsi. Their energy was different but they brought a whole different but relatable vibe for me. Bow Wow and the others were just horrible. No chemistry and just bland.

I also wish people would’ve gave tigger & julissa more credit for filling in cuz it wasn’t their fault & they actually gave us a lot of memorable moments on the set.

I liked Bow, I didn't like the other pple. Even BET knew they wasn't it. They was switching them out every other month 🤣 there was like 4 or 5 other mfs with Bow lmao

Yes!!!

Right bc we had jet , essence , wordup so many memories !

@@krimezofkolor4683 i disliked all them damn magazines :-/ i always wanted more diverse blackness

@@mrsx7944 lol I remember that rumor. He also supposedly knocked up that adult star Jazmine Cashmere at some point.

N I would watch that junt

That would be AWESOME

Man I would probably record those shows to show my future kids if Netflix did that. That’s how much I miss it 😍

Exactly

Yep. Especially Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network really went through a dark age from 2007-2010 because of that writer's strike before Adventure Time and Regular Show came in and saved the network.

We really connected wit them as well as Big Tigger

100!!! I always liked him. But now I have a whole new level of respect for him!

@Black Widow EXACTLY

@Horatio KJV Bible it's called a learning experience

Me too came for AJ, and he’s no longer on TV.

I used to think AJ was kinda corny or cheesy at times but watching this I have a new fond respect for him

Me too I watched that movie over and over in 2002.

Great movie

He revealed something but our people on here talking about shoe game. Distractions...

Stop!! Lol

Iconic indeed 😂😂😂

Poor baby! I hope she can laugh at it now too.

@@r.p.5903 lol me too!
