It started in the year 2000 with AJ & Free and it ended this year 2014 with Keshia Chante and Bow Wow.
After a 14-year-old run, BET’s ‘106 & Park’ aired its final episode on Friday (Dec. 19). Named “The Final Act,” the live two-hour finale was hosted by the originals — and fan favorites — AJ Calloway and Free. DJ Enough, the show’s original DJ, was also there laying down the show’s final spins…Former hosts Terrence J, Rocsi, Big Tigger, Julissa Bermudez, Miss Mykie, Paigon, Shorty Da Prince, Keshia Chante and Bow Wow were also at the finale to close out the show as well…Wale and Keyshia Cole stopped by to reminisce about how much the show meant to them and their careers.
“They tryna get rid of this. They tryna get rid of our voice. They tryna get rid of our style. They tryna get rid of our culture, they tryna dilute it,” the DC rapper said. “Don’t ever get it twisted by no blog or no Internet people. This is our culture. Our parents had ‘Soul Train’ and ‘American Bandstand,’ we had ’106 & Park.’”
Nicki Minaj was given the honor of being the last guest on show on Thursday (Dec. 18), as she stopped through to promote ‘The Pinkprint’ and say goodbye to the livest audience. “Can’t believe this show is coming to an end,” she said. “It’s given me the best moments with my fans that I’ll cherish for a lifetime.”
For the new year, ‘106 & Park’ will become digital at BET.com. The show will still air specials such as ‘106 & Party,’ their New Year’s Eve episode, and live events leading up to the BET Awards and more.
So the question is… If there is no 106 & Park then what is there?? I know even though 106 & Park now compared to back when I was growing up is totally different but still I will miss it… but I want to know what you think.
