bet's hip-hop countdown
bet's hip-hop countdown is better
known to the teenagers and pre adults as Bet 106 and
Park.
Sure they might have had another type of
countdown like the Rap Basement with Big Tigger but nothing and
I do mean nothing competes with the 106 and Park cast.
At one point the Uncut videos were hot and kept
kids up until four o'clock in the morning watching them
but even they could not compete with "The Park". Anytime
a superstar rapper such as Bow Wow or Young Jeezy appears
the ratings and viewer numbers go through the ruff. Not
to mention the type of money advertisers pay to be
featured during the spot of this popular show.
I don't watch it alot but when I do get a chance
to view the show i'm always paying attention to what the
artist say and do. I'm really into a well rounded and
professional artist and not just some guy or chick from
the hood who has nothing but street knowledge.
There are some classic interviews though and
those were the interviews of Outkast, Ice Cube and LL
Cool J. If you didn't get a chance to see these episodes
I would search the web for them they were really
good.
A countdown is always something that will catch
the attention of the entertainment world.
The minute you setup a top ten for anything it
creates competition and usually means there are going to
be some votes by the fans and viewers. Think about it
that's how the companies make more money from you.
Example they setup a contest or ask a question like who
is the best RnB singer Omarion or Ne-Yo, then they say
call in and vote or send a text to blha blah blah number.
See, money in the bank for them. Some of the extra
coricular activities thay have going on too are
inetresting and aprt of keeping ht e attention of the
audience like performing live and Friday's rap battles
etc.
I remember the classic episode where Destinys
Child was walking on the stage to perform and Michelle
with her goofy self fell. Man that was the funniest thing
I had seen all month at that point. If you actively watch
vids then you will also see and even archive major slip
ups like this. Be on the looout for these type of duddy
clips because they make for great Youtube
post.
