After 7 Years They're Calling It Quits
Terrence J And Rocsi of 106th & Park just announced that after 7 straight years that they will be leaving the show. The pair took over after the original hosts AJ & Free. Once AJ & Free were released B.E.T. tried out several hosts including Big Tigger, Julissa, even plus sized model Tocarra did a short stint on the show. The executives eventually settled on a new male/female team of Terrence & Rocsi. Since their start they've been able to consume several opportunities as a result. They both do radio shows, Rocsi's is syndicated, Terrence's is with Khloe Kardashian out of Miami. Terrence is seeing a lot of success with his role in "Think Like A Man" based off the book written by Steve Harvey. Terrence was quoted as saying "This, by no stretch of the imagination, was an easy decision, but it's the right one.". The question is now, what becomes of the only show left that plays music or music videos? Will B.E.T. continue with new hosts, guest hosts or shut the show down all together. Terrence and Rocsi will stay put for the time being to take a "victory lap" building up to their departure. This will be another end of an era. I just hope B.E.T. won't let the music die.

America's Oldest Teenager Has Passed
The legendary TV/Radio host Mr. Dick Clark has passed away on the morning of April 18th of a "massive heart attack". He was known as "America's Oldest Teenager" because he was up on all of the current styles of popular music and he never seemed to age. However, Dick Clark was 82 when he passed away. He's been responsible for launching many careers over the years. He started off at Syracuse University working at a country station and going by the name Dick Clay. He would eventually move to another station in Philly where he began hosting a show called "Bandstand". The show was picked up by ABC in 1957 and ran until 1987. He then launched a syndicated radio show under his own company name United Stations Radio Network (aka UNISTAR) that he eventually sold to Westwood One in 1994. A year later he started a new network and a new countdown show that he hosted until 2004 when he suffered a serious heart attack that kept him form hosting his New Years Rockin Eve ever since. Mr. Clark is survived by his wife Kari and three children Rac, Duane and Cindy. From all of us in radio, thank Mr. Clark for showing us how to do it right. Job well done, now rest in peace.

Kanye Needs A Better Remedy
It seems Theraflu was the cause and cure no more. After Ye' dropped the dope track "Theraflu" a few weeks ago, the company Theraflu didn't take too kindly of the use of their name. What's funny is that as controversial as Kanye can be he never said anything derogatory about "Theraflu". The track was dope and quite humorous for slick lyrical delivery. It was creating controversy for the comments about respecting Wiz and getting Jay to drop Kris Humphries from the Nets. If anything, Theraflu sales might have gone up considerably just for the name being mentioned all over hip hop and the world. Hell it was a big topic of conversation on Kathy Lee and Hoda. Don't get it twisted, my girl watches that (LMBAO). Right now Theraflu looks like the Therafool. Meanwhile, Kanye West is enjoying the extra publicity while thinking of a new title before he releases it.

Young Buck Bankrupt
We’ve all heard some of the stories about Young Bucks legal problems. In a recent interview with Whoo Kid he admitted that he would be up for reuniting with G-Unit. This came as a shock somewhat. I say somewhat because whenever any entertainer has legal issues or faces going broke they have the “I found religion experience”. Well Buck didn’t find God but he is seeing the light. He says he’s in negotiations right now with 50 Cent about working together again. Buck was kicked out of G-Unit in 2008 but remained in debt to the label which he refused to record for. He started Cashville Records but was hit with a $10 Million lawsuit by 50 Cent for breach of contract by releasing material on another label. Young Buck was forced to file for bankruptcy 2 years ago when he racked up $300,000 in IRS debt. On May 14th, the IRS will liquidate all of Young Bucks music, trademarks, copyrights, licenses and royalties. So you can a piece of Young Buck’s business. That’s the true meaning of “passing the Buck”.

David Banner Breaks It Down!
This my people is one of the best interviews I've heard. Whether you like David Banner or not, you have to respect his intellect, his intelligence and his passion for educating his culture. This was a recent interview that he had on The Breakfast Club at Power 105.1 in NY. When you watch this do what I did and support his cause.

God Rest His Sooouuuulll!
In some unfortunate news, the legendary Don Cornelius was found dead in his Sherman Oaks, Ca home this morning. He was 75 years old and dealing with a recent divorce. Authorities do not suspect foul play. TMZ reported that in 2009 Mr. Cornelius told the judge in his divorce case that he needed to hurry up and finalize the divorce before he died. Did Mr. Cornelius suspect or know something the general public didn't? The details of the divorce have not been disclosed. In the end it's a very sad turn of events. He was the host and the creator of something that has been and will always be such a strong part of black culture and now american culture. Although the Soul Train has made it's final stop the memories will reverberate forever. Thank you Mr. Don Cornelius. may your Soooouuuulll be at peace.
