It won't work dawg.

Why wait till 6pm to watch your favorite music video. When you can go to yt and watch it as many times as you want.

It already goes without saying people don't buy albums anymore. It's only so much #FreesAss can keep our attention

I would like to see 106 and Park come back but the format for shows like this don't work anymore

1. too late. their target audience is who? kids are not watching that and adults have moved on.

2. the format doesn't work in this era. television and radio used to gate keep the culture with their playlists and countdowns. they don't have that juice anymore and can't get it back

3. AJ got cancelled for being a creep allegedly

My Pops Forever RIP
They were videos with dudes with 100 guns in the 90s
in the 90s most of that stuff was blurred out and songs were heavily edited. A song like Pop Smoke's Dior woulda had to get reshot or they wouldn't be able to air it til Uncut.

Now you can drop all that shyt uncensored on YouTube and rack up them views and streams.

The shows we grew up on (106 & Park, TRL, Soul Train, even going back to stuff like Club MTV, the Grind, American Bandstand /Top of the Pops for the super washed), those shows don't have the usefulness that they used to have because we consume that stuff differently.

For the most part, we don't see artists on these crazy promo runs because they just throw the album out there now and use social media to spread the word.

On one hand, I do think 106 & Park in 2022 could work because of Stan culture because stans want literally every accolade possible for their favorite artist.

On the other hand, it would probably fail because there’s no reason to wait all day for videos that’s easily accessible on your phone.

I would like to see Rap City return though, I think that’s a show that could survive in 2022.

Part of that is because they put it at 3 in the afternoon

No.

1. Videos are not “exclusive” anymore. Can watch it on YouTube

2. Artists have no mystique.. we use to only get to see them on Rap City, 106 and TRL…. We can just go on their IG now

3. Lack of star power in todays music

4. Nobody watches TV anymore unless it’s Sports

What if it was a YouTube show? That was once a week and it was uncensored. Idk

Either way it would have to be different because that format is dead and will never come back.

You make excellent points especially 2 & 3. These artists are introverted weirdos with no charisma or media training. In fact it’s cool to be the introvert now. Most of these guys would give terrible interviews.
