They gave us kids something to look forward to after school each day not just to see the latest music videos, but to keep up with our culture and entertain ourselves in a positive manner.

That's why I fell out of love with hip-hop as I got older. I am over hearing songs about money, jewelry, cars, clothes and women. They narrative is played out. I wish it would step back into storytelling. It shouldn't be uncool or lame to try to uplift each other. I hate seeing young children trying to replicate what they see in music videos.

    AJ hit it right on the head. Looking back as an adult now, the 90’s was when Hip Hop went commercial, but when AJ & Free left 106&Park in 2005 it had turned into RAP and there was no longer any substance. The commercialized subject matters were negative.
    AJ cried because he knew the positive impact he and Free had on us as teens. It hurt like hell to see my aunti and uncle in my head go. Hip Hop had officially died like Nas said and nothing was the same. 😩😭

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?

The vibe wasn't the same and I never watched again. To any younger folks, this show was huge because in the early 2000s there was no UA-cam so watching shows like 106 was one of the only ways to see your favorite music videos.

    That’s why BET ain’t watched as much today..This was an attack on HipHop culture..50cent brought the image they wanted for HipHop knowing the negative energy this would bring to HipHop..They gave him the biggest platform to tear down his own ppl..Ppl wonder why 50 still relevant..He was used to destroy HipHop..But they forgot our culture had spread further than they thought..Southern HipHop took over and these rappers came in with more independence and creative control over there music..But noticeably they were a lot more reckless with their lives doing the drugs and spending money ridiculously so they gave these guys the platform knowing this type music was bad for the culture because our culture reached the youth early in its years and the youth was who was mostly affected by HipHop and if you can reach the youth you could run the culture..
