106 & Park’s A.J. Criticizes BET Show

Respect

Self explanatory when you have been hired by howard university!!!!!! ( indeed respect due)!

He just mad cuz he got fired

I got a new level of respect for the brother. That is if he steped aside, rather than being fired. Unless he was fired b/c of his views.

....wish my school had a hip-hop course.....

Well then i could pop you in the hip and yo ass would be hoppin' for real

^^wtf?

Dayem thats tight to say....after the lengthy run the cat had on his so called "destructive" show. When did he realize that? when he stopped cashing their checks? dayem damage has been done now. Just move on. Thats like mike tyson talking down to kobe for his alleged rape. Crazy.

Give it up, homie. Yo 15 mins of fame was over long time ago. If bet was so destructive, then why the hell u took the job? i didnt see u sayin none of that when u was on tv cryin like a lil Bia'ch.

Moment of clarity comes upon us all. Aint no shame with coming out with the truth. Sometimes when you in it, you're blinded. You have to take a step back to see the light. Now that he's not there, he sees how degrading to blacks that show really is. Bet coon network. Respect. A.j.

I feel em, that same sh*t hit me one day and it was hard to relize that i'm a big part of all this negativity in the world. Now thats just me, at the crib, home studio with a few fans. This cat aj had the whole country looking at him when the sh*t hit him. I know for me i almost stopped rhyming, and that alone is crazy, not to mention it caused me to look at my own life outside the music. He must have felt double that do to the fact that he's a part of some global sh*t. It's like this, the devil is loving what this hip hop sh*t is doing to the people and the youth and there u are helping. Of course the more you've helped the worse u feel. I never did rock with the violence and disrespect, (aj is probably the same way) i was doing it cuz it reflected how i felt and it was hot on record. Now, im at the point where i know my ability to ryhme and make good music is dope enough to where i can just speak the truth and the rest will take care of itself. I don't have to glorify the negativity. All i do is put the words on the pad and let the fans make their own decision to what is wrong or write. That gives me room to do what i love and yet be a servant of the lord. Now of course it's a hell of a commitment and really puts you to work, but to me it's been worth it. Aj on the other hand doesn't have that luxury. He can't pick the videos, he can't make his own. He's held at the mercy of his job. But to quit his job for me is a little bit extreme. I feel you can make changes for the company alot quicker if

..damn thought homeboy would neva stop!!!!!!!^^

Congrats to aj. Bet network is wack all the way around. There are no shows on that station that "cater" to black people. Every program on there is a copy of some mtv show. The shows that really mattered were taken away as soon as viacom bought out the station, i.e. Tavis smiley and bet news. It's bullsh*t ass programs like lil kim lockdown and six different music videos that play the same damn videos! time to change somethings.

Don't he work on extra?

He wasnt fired after his contract was over they left

Lol@pretty lou....i guess its cool what aj did....i have no problems with his reasons for leaving (if indeed that was the reason why he left)....i guess it was just a way of clearing his concience.

Shyt i love bet...i dont agree with it totally, and i understand the gripes about it being this and that. No doubt it is.....but whats worse them putting it on tell lie vision or the fact that a great deal of ppl dont understand the difference between entertainment and reality. I dont hear critics going at the sopranos saying it makes italian americans look bad..or i dont see em out in the street on that mafia shyt either. Maybe because "some" are just weak minded. I feel like a person should "always" do what they "know" but like i feel like all some ppl know "is" what they "see" on tell lie vision. Just my opinion.

F*ck aj , hes mad cause he got fired , what the F*ck takes you 5 years to realize the music on your show is bullsh*t . F*ck aj and old ass free

Yeah i say F*ck free too..... See the ass on her???? whoooo...... About a.j. I'm speechless.... We'll see how he ends up in the long run to see if this is really wut he means

Nuff respect, try getting your younger brother or sister or nephews or neices to what a hip hop video. I was always embarassed when they watch me looking at that sh*t and the nonsence they were spreading. Keep it real aj!!!!

I understand what aj is saying but i don't think that it is the main reason why he left the show. He might have been fired and he might not have been fired but the music that is broadcasted does not show respect for our race as well as woman no matter how much people like it. That could be a reason why he left and thats understandable.

Good for aj. But who cares about aj what about free? she can get it.

Make that sh*t count, aj. Respect due.

I just wonder if he got fired or he just simply left? when most people get fired they sh*t on their former job, but if he just simply left then right-on brotha. Do ya damn thang.

Kaliope4 ever say some deep sh*t every time he talk that. Nigga always no wat he talking bout

what kills me is that when things don't go the way somebody wants it to go, they flip. For example a.j. Steped aside from the show because he and free felt they was not getting the money they deserved for their role in bringing 106 & park to national prominence. So now all of a sudden he has these feelings, they are indeed valid but let's be real, this been happening before he started there and while he was there. He knew what was up, until it did not accomodate his financial appetite. But we are all human i support the brotha.

Hypocrite! you F*ck*n' lying ass mu'fukah, sat up there for five.....count em' five years.....then it hit you that hip-hop portrays negative imagery to the kids so he quits, when his show was directly.......in the face...of kids, he hosted, counted down, freestyle friday'd his ass, gained the trust of the youth now turns his back on em' cause aint enough money in it for him no more, or is it cause he really had a revelation? i don't belive em.....i want to, but i just don't......just my opinion.....but i'm surprised to hear him talk like that, i respect that still, maybe he can do more possitive where he at now, we'll see i guess........

If those were really the reasons, i think he did the right thing...

I can respect dude for that. I partly agree with what hes saying just by listening to some of the songs on the countdown. Thats comendable, im just suprised it took him 5 years to realize this. But still thats mad respectable

Naah..i respect what he "said" but when you have to be media literate...yanno...you have to know your facts....like fact that aj want to go another direction...yanno..when you get on you get on anyway you can (youd be surprised that the laffy taffys in the werld know they shyt is lame but they do it because they want to be on, peep game lawrence fishburn was the cowboy on pee wees play house..yanno but he changed that shyt and make it work cause he got in tha door wit it, one more example jamie fox...holla!!! sha'nana??) but anyway he wants to go the cousin jeff route doin lectures and shyt at hbc's. But he has shyt in his past yanno..so he has to shyt on his past to go further in that direction. Hes doing it the only way he can..when shyt goes down theres 3 things a coward does...1. Blame others 2. Act stoopid/ like he was blynd to it 3. Act like someone else forced him do it.

He is right.....stand up aj

See that goes to shownever judge a book by its cover, why do i say that because i kinda thought a.j. Was , but he's talking some real sh*t and i can respect him for that. I grew up in the south in a place called phenix city, alabama where racism is thick and i feel him on this particular point

F*ck aj...he's uh straight up b!tch @ss dude! cry baby @ss panzzy @ss nigg@!

He sounds like an upset girlfriend. Why you cry when you seperated from the show man if you didn't want to be there. Dude is playing this innocent role for the other crowd who wants to hear this bull since he's at whatever school he's in. Be 100 all the time my advise too anybody. Headed back to the south where we all ways keep it real besides d4l.

Some of you who have commented are mad ignorant, but i'm not going to point out specific people. I think that you can do something for years, and have an epiphany (look it up), and change your ways. I feel him on everything he has to say. Hip hop/rap isnt the same as it used to be even 10 years ago. In my personal opinion (and i know this will get people pissy), things went to sh*t in the early 90's when "death row" became popular. Snoop, tupac, dre, etc. Are what perpetuated a lot today's "gangsta" styled lyrics in most of today's lyrics. A lot of people give crap to people like will smith, and l.l. Cool j, but truth be told they make major hits, and don't put out any negativity. I think a lot of other rappers need to realize that their words even if they intend on trying to make people stay away from being a "thug" its really perpetuating, and glorifying it. Aj did the right thing. Thats my 2 cents.

Uh....who cares?....it's just a show....there will always be more hosts.......

I feel him, but all i want to know is where is my baby free, with her thick sexy ass.

Aj is a straight up homosexual! fvck that nigg@!...he the last mvfvcka we need to hear about hip hop from. Dude is mad !

It is good he had enough balls to walk away from the show and not compromise himself for a paycheck. Money is not everything!

Whatever...aj!

Too many pvssy nigg@s logged on to this site!

I admire aj for doing what he did. I for one have grown to be racist towards my own people. Regretably i am forced to reveal to incompetent black N*gg*rs who left these thoughtless ignorant remarks that unfortunately i am aswell of the african american persuausion. I don't like black, simply because you all are too stupid to see why your race never rise, rap music perhaps is the biggest negative influence to the race. All gloryfying negativity and rap music should be heavily sedated and immediatley institutionalized. In other words, all gangster portraying black should be encaucerated. I hate black people, simply because i am a very business minded person with visions of making millions on that avenue, but due to the steroetype of all blacks being ignorant and stupid, i have to work three times as hard as a white person, thanks to you black people. Too stupid tosee that you are damaging yourselves. If it was up to me, i would not help none of those katrina victims because they were all non tax paying, lazy, uneducated, society rejects, and deserved what they got. All they want is freeness and hand outs from the government. It is a shame that it is a never ending cycle, and bet propells this influenciall disease known as rap music. All blacks should stay down.

Not going to comment self made millionaire he just wants attention. I think what aj did was right he is right about the music videos and rap.if you listen to these song they are promoting ecstasy like its a cool drug or something and younger ppl are being subjected to it.ecstacy has become a popular drug due to raps music thanks d4l f*cking losers

He just mad cause he a nobody since he anit on bet

That's my n*gga, aj... Bet do get wack sometimes... They play the same ass videos all day and show the same ass male singers... They're wack... No one wants to see them but those dumbfounded ass lil girls... Aj and free was gettin to old for that stuff anyway... O yea they use to play the same ass classic episodes over and over... Show a classic episode we haven't seen... Yall have over 1,000 episodes... I used to stay up every night to see the same ass episodes... Neva again

It's wonderful to see that there is still hope in the world! i applaud aj's revelation of a "once" credible and cultured black-targeted broadcast. I agree...bet is now a carbon copy of mtv...most of the time hynotic bull!!! go aj!!!

Okay i feel him.... Now he has the power to do something about it. Go back to bet and start making a change for the better. Instead of american gangtster... Tell us about positve role models beside martin and malcolm

Way i see it is, we as blacks only have one television station that is dedicated to us, and that one station epitomizes pimps, whores, drug dealers, and everything else of a negative nature. The sad part is that a majority of us fail to realize this and just cant see that our minds are being fed horse sh*t. There's nothing educational on bet, nothing. In case yall dont know, we are more than rappers, and athletes. So why do we ever see any academic achievers?

Are there any 1 on this site,

Aj did the right thing

Bet is pointless without aj and free, they bring a lot of positive influence to youg people and they got the lives audience. There is no doubt that aj & free made 106 what is and caused more persons to watch the show now that they are gone it doesn't make any sence.

Hi aj my name is norisa and i was wondering i do you get on hotline with the rappers call me at 19208193209

Whether a.j. Was fired or not, i have true respect for him. I stopped watching bet ages ago because they've been showing nothing but recycled crap they get from mtv. They're showing the same videos over and over... With just a different artist. As for free, i don't know where she is or what she's doing. But a.j. Works for extra now and he gets to meet even more celebrities and interview them and travel all over the damn world. So in the end, a.j. Is the one laughing all the way to the bank.

I love 106 and park you are ballin.

Can you play dutty wineso i can do my thing in a one of them in a two of them please play it for me and chiniken noddles soup love you 106in park.

Most people are proud of a.j.even artists actually on the countdown.these artist are like crack dealers justifying thier acts by saying "we gotta eat"....they need to shut the flock up.there is work at the post office.hip hop committed suicide and we,yeah we are the walking dead. Parent(s) teach your kids.

Honestly i also think he did this because he got fired not because he decided 2 do something good he was there 4 five years and he never thought of dat before cumon

I have mad respect for aj. A lot of the negative comments that people have to say about him are obviously from young clowns that think all there is to life is smoking trees, sex and watching videos. You young clowns need to pull your damn pants up and get an education. If you can spell education.

106 aint da same but all good things come to an end aj and free wish you the best miss you'll drama, styles and holding it down reppin dat boston and nj and just u doin ur thang much luv aj 4doing ur thang they wanted u to change but u did not 1luv

106 fired? who knows, dem was better than these clowns out now

Wat happen look people should not be getin mad cause this woman put there self out like that

Send me a free ticket to the show. So i can wile out whit you guys.

I've watched bet w/ donnie simpson until now. If hip/hop is the mirror to our hood, then the reflection is shallow.so, if i'm to admire today's videos, just get a glock, caddy, 24 rims, and a big butt hoe. And a platinum grill. Mlk and malcolm x must be turning in their vaults.

Well if aj felt that way then he should'nt have hosted the show as long as he did. As a matter of fact in my own opinion he actually used the show for fame and semi stardom. When young black people or black people period see or hear him they instantly say,"hey thats aj from 106&park. So how dare he try to put down the very reason or people who really help make his image. He needs to thank bet(the tv network for black entertainment)! my response for aj would most definitely have to be :"don't forget your roots and never bite the hand that feeds you!") with that being said i'm out.

Man do what you feel is right aj keep yo heart. But u was to ugly for the show any way.

What up..................

F*ck all you pointless Mu'fukkahs,with ya domd ass's. It is all about getting money stupid sh*tty F*cks,and who ever reading my comment, F*ck you and go suck a tip Bia'ch. None of you mu'fukah cant F*ck wit me, so shut the F*ck up,and hustle, and git money. And as for a.j. Go git cha money, and F*ck hoes n*gga, dont be on lame sh*t like siten at home giten fat o.k goofy guy, and i hope you cut yo stupid ass hair style, that sh*t look stupid.and hip-hop is gone live on forever, i am hip-hop ''Bia'ch'' remmember that sh*t

Sauljordan@gmail i read every one of these comments. Imagine they were written and about white people. Now read them. Its cool, i will wait... Ok now what would your opinion be about this culture. My opinion: i love being black. I love black people. I love chicken, jay z, common, and many other rappers who made the top ten. I love aj, and i wish free was in san diego. We would meet at a church and get married that afternoon... Im dreaming. The fact of the matter is i love my black culture unconditionally. I am deeply saddened that we cannot pursue our dreams because we are being fed dreams that we cannot succeed with through the media. 106 and park is one of many outlets to expel poison to our urban communities. Dont get it twisted white people watch it too. The difference they dont have to own it. The artsist look like us not them. So they can imitate it but we mirror it. We look at ourselves and see snoop and feel the very real possibility of becoming a pimp or hustler. But .. I wish we would not pursue the images we see. . . Theres more but i hear americans have a short attention span. I konw i do. (were being trained)

The thing that bothers me most about 106 and park is the obvious reluctance to include any "truly" brown-complexioned people! paricularly the women. Every time i turn in i think i'm looking at white women! i won't tune in again...believe that!

I really hate to see someone degrade our race the way some have on this site. I sometimes don't like what the media portrays and what my people do from time to time, but i will never talk about my race the way selfmade-millionare did. If you have knowledge, share it and help your community get better (selfmade-millionare), not tear it down.

All u people with the negative comments dont realize how ignorant you are, most of the music exploids black people and women especially, it just goes to show that if it werent for hip hop some black people wouldnt be sh*t and thats a shame to say, they need to persue education and u idiots who buy the music are making them rich and what do u get in return nothing not even a measly thank you, wisen up dummys.

Hey

I dont no who you are but you are ugly

Good for aj...but i read in an article that the owner of the show(106 & park) said that aj and free were not let go...so i dnt think he was fired...it said that there was gonna be some new management and aj and free were asked to do some things different and they basically ddnt lik it...plus there salary wasnt good enuf (i guess)...so they left...i personally think that's why free left...but not necessarily aj...cus he wasnt that popular on tha show...i thnk he left cus free was gone...
