This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to announce the next film to be reviewed, the 1970 blaxploitation film, "Cotton Comes to Harlem." The film follows two Harlem cops who investigate a robbery, believing that a reverend has staged it in order to steal the money he's collected for a local fundraiser. The random topic this week is all about RapTV profiting off the backs of the rumor of Jamie Foxx's dire health diagnosis and the prominence of what is often referred to as "blackfishing" which is when white people pretend to be Black in some respect to carry power and influence.

(00:48):
quote two Harlem Cops investigator robbery,believing that a reverend has staged it
in order to steal the money hecollected from a local fundraiser. Uh yeah,
spoiler alert. I've never seen thismovie. He stole it just a
gas. But you can check outCotton Comes to Harlem, classic black exploitation
film. It's on YouTube. Justsearch for that name. You'll find it
(01:11):
super easy. It's about an hourand a half, I think, but
check that out. We will diginto that. We haven't done a black
sploitation movie in a while, butwe will dig into that next week.
Watching before you, I was watchinga little documentary on YouTube about black exploitation.
You know who created that phrase forblack exploitation movies, like the NAACP
(01:34):
did because they didn't like them.Oh interesting, Yeah, like they would
like, we don't like and wedon't like these these movies because they're like
putting Negroes in the bed like andthey like they created a whole thing against
them. Meanwhile, the people thatwere making the movies were like, nah,
these just movies. Brou stop callingit. Yeah, I mean that
(01:57):
really kind of backfired. Yeah,I didn't work out well for you,
and now it's yeah, they destroyeda whole genre because they didn't like it.
Yeah, I mean, I meanthe Double ACP has done a lot
of great things. They also havedone it. They want to bury the
word nigga. That's exactly what Iwas gonna bring up. They literally bury
the word or like end of this, well, Nigga is back. I
(02:23):
don't know what to tell you,Like Nigga came back fast and Nigga came
back fasted and Jesus came back.That's how powerful that word is. Sorry,
So, yeah, cock comes toHarlem. We'll go into that again.
You can watch it on YouTube oryou can you know, rent it
(02:43):
and on I'm sure Amazon is somethinglike that or if you own it,
check it out. We will talkabout in depth. The random topic this
week is about Jamie Fox, whichwe got a bit of a scare uh
this week, with reports that athe was kind of on death's door and
(03:04):
his loved ones were preparing for theworst, according to outlets like rap TV.
Then his daughter, who would definitelyknow better than them, came out,
Karen Fox, and was like,no, that's not true at all.
Quote my dad has been out ofthe hospital for weeks recuperating. In
(03:25):
fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday. Thanks for everyone's prayers and support.
Look, I'm glad Jamie Fox isuh doing well. Whatever happened, I
don't know, nobody really knows.There's talk about him having a stroke,
but that's none of that has beenverified. He's what fifty one years old,
(03:51):
right, fifty five? And likeI don't know, man, like
from a from a celebrity stay point, and I try not to, you
know, put people in boxes likethat when they pass, because there's they
are people, They're more than justtheir job. But like he means a
lot to our generation at least,Like you know, music wise, you
(04:15):
know, acting wise, you knowfrom the Jamie Fox Show, you know,
even before that in Living Color andthen watching his sort of meteoric rise
and all this other stuff over theyears. Like he means a lot.
And I just cannot imagine waking upone day that Jamie Fox is dead at
like fifty five years old, Likethat's crazy. So this was a little
terrifying, honestly. Yeah, wedid an episode kind of like this,
(04:40):
uh while back, where we wantedto make sure that we appreciate all black
entertainers given their flowers, you know, before they're dead, and this health
scare really put that in perspective,especially with Jamie Fox, because Jamie Fox
is one of the few people inin entertainment, Uh that is a jack
(05:03):
of all trades. This guy cando anything, and he's very very good
at everything that he does when itcomes to entertainment. Uh, he can
sing, he can act. Canhe dance? I don't know if I've
ever seen him dance. Sure,probably he's I mean he probably could if
(05:26):
he put his mind to it.Like that's how he gives right, give
him enough prep time, he cando whatever he wants. Now, I
don't want to see Jamie Fox asBatman. Yeah, man, he's I
mean, he's gonna be Spawn likehis his old as I meandends to I
(05:54):
mean, look, no offense toMichael Joy White, but but if I'm
gonna have an act to play Spawn, I'm gonna have. He's he's already
done a better performance at Spawn thanMichael Joy White. And because because he's
that good of an actor. Uhlook he uh he I love Michael Joy
(06:17):
White. I love that guy.He's he's, he's great. He's gonna
be in He's gonna be in amovie that I can't wait to see.
Look he uh he disappeared into therole of Ray Charles, and that is
that is unfathomable given that Jamie Foxis a big star also playing a gigantic
(06:41):
figure in music. He uh,he's, he's worked, he's had a
he's run the gamut of of movieroles. You know, he was in
stuff like he was in stuff likeDjango Unchained and jar Head. But he's
(07:05):
also in like Booty Call uh andand Annie. But he was also like
soul not care for that movie?Well Annie, Yeah, I saw I
had been of that. I waslike, that wasn't it wasn't great.
He was in Soul Uh that Pixarmovie, which was really good. I
(07:28):
really liked that movie. And whocould forget Bait? And uh, who
can who can forget? Who couldforget his role as motherfucker Jones and horrible
Bosses. So it's just the bestname ever here two number one things we're
(07:56):
trying to give him, We try. We're trying to give him Flowers,
not Dandy white House, down God, even a lot of terrible fucking movies.
But like, yeah, this isbut like you gotta be some sh
like you know, but like hebut he's also right, he was an
(08:18):
elite. He played what's his name, Bun Bundini is a man or something
like that. Sleepless was on hereman. So look, they don't.
What I'm saying is they don't makeentertainers like this anymore. You know,
(08:39):
usually somebody is. We could barelyget good enough actors to to, you
know, do what they do best, let alone they're comedian. He's got
a funny fucking stand up. Imight need security. It's hilarious. Like
he's genuinely funny, right, Likehe's not like he's not like funny for
(09:01):
an actor, right, or funnyfor a comedian. Nah, this dude
is a comedian, and and whichis you know, it's one of the
reasons why he's a good actor.It is because he was a comedian first,
Like you have to to be agood comedian, you have to be
able to tap into some real likedark shit, you know what I mean,
(09:24):
And that transitions into acting well,whereas most actors, you know,
they aren't necessarily funny. So yeah, man, Also, yep, yep,
dude is a fucking He's literally afucking jack of all traces. It's
(09:48):
really impressive. And we've we've he'sbeen in the spotlight for thirty plus years,
all right, so we've we've whenthey're living color come out, like
nineteen ninety one. He wasn't inthe first season. I don't think he
was. I think he came inlike the second and third season. But
like that was like ninety two ninetythree, that was twenty twenty three.
It was thirty years of Jamie Foxjust just entered. Like it's and he's
(10:13):
been consistent, Like, yeah,he's got some he's had some lulls,
but like he's been consistent, veryentertaining, great acting, great comedian,
great musician. Yeah, if I'dhave woke up one day and it has
said Jammie Fox passed away, I'dhave been mad. I'd have been sad,
but like, like, come on, man, you have been hurt.
Man, I'd have been hurt.Which is why these people, which
(10:35):
is which is why these white ownedblogs that disguise the trojan horse themselves as
black owned media. Uh, they'refucked up, man, yep. Uh
you know. And I get thebusiness is all about like getting clicks and
ship, but like I miss Imiss like actual journalism and and I mean
(11:00):
it's still there, but like thewaters of the waters are very muddy man
like, and and shit like thiswith this trojan horse media doesn't doesn't help
matters. Like these people should befucking ashamed. We only want to get
it right. That's crazy. LikeTMZ is the source for like actual news
(11:24):
nowadays, but like entertainment news besides, like e, yeah, if you
want to find out that somebody reallydie or they're about to die, if
it's on TMZ, that should isaccurate. Like you can you can almost
guarantee it. Look, I meanI mean yeah, look, I think
it's it's a good time to pivotto that whole point, right, Like
(11:46):
yo, look shout out to kevnStage who who kind of was one of
the people who kind of spearheaded likeputting this out there, which is like
the people who are behind wrap TVand there it's a completely white staff,
right, And you're right, likethis is one of many blogs that you
know, like no Jumper and stufflike that, that are almost completely fronted
(12:09):
by white people, right, andit's and it's the problem here is I
don't have a problem with like Idon't care about white people speaking on rap
culture or whatever like not like wecreated it, like obviously have a problem
with that, but like reporting onit, like whatever, it's entertainment news,
I don't I don't care. LikeKurt Loder had been doing it for
forty five years on MTV, right, so Kurt Loder eighty years old.
(12:33):
They just shut down MTVV. Yeah. But but like so I don't have
a problem with that fundamentally, Butthere is something to be said about digging
into or reporting on something that isvery much black culture and not giving a
(12:54):
shit if you get it right,right, Like you're using you're you're putting
this out there, You're not doingyour due diligence about this story about a
person people truly care about and likewant to, you know, see do
well and stuff like that. Thisis a guy is I wouldn't say like
and there's nothing against him. Iwouldn't call him like, quote unquote a
pillar in our community type of thing. But he is a big fucking person
(13:18):
in our community, right, likepeople love Jamie Fox and for you know,
for good reason, like he seemslike a totally solid, nice guy,
right and very accomplished, and foryou to use what is happening to
him as just just a story forclicks, like Michael was saying, and
not give a fuck about the man. That's the problem. It's not that
(13:39):
you're reporting on it like you canyou're allowed to report on it, because
I think that's sort of getting lostin the conversation people like, what only
black people can report it? Now, that's not what we're saying. But
when you're gonna do this, whenyou're gonna step into that culture that you
actually do not belong to get itright, you should really make sure to
get it right. And look,everybody should, but you especially should because
(14:01):
especially when you have one you're anoutsider two, you have a massive following.
And three, nobody knew all yourmotherfuckers were white. And I think
you know that because you can't easilyfind that ship unless people are searching for
wrap TV on LinkedIn, which neverhappens, I assure you. So,
no, you have an obligation.If you're going to stay in outside of
(14:24):
the culture and report on it,you need to get it correct. Like
it's fucked up that you're just usingthis guy's potential misery or his family's misery
for clicks. It's not cool.Yeah, And the thing that for me
it was the fact that I knowit was really it's technically none of our
business, right, like it's personalshit. But like there were no updates.
(14:46):
There were like no updates at allfrom the family. He went in
there, he went to the hospitalon April twelfth or something like that,
and I'm like, is he good? Like what the fuck is going on?
Like nothing for a whole month,And I'm like, I hope piece
if we don't get any updates,and again it does it's not necessarily any
of our business. But like wegrew up, which we grew up with
(15:09):
your father, Like I understand this, your dad like your dad, Like
your dad has been in the industrylonger than you've been alive, right as
far as like Karin, as faras his daughter goes. So it's kind
of like we've seen this nigga sincehe was like thirty or early in his
late twenties. Yeah, and hislate twenties, and I'm like, yo,
(15:30):
I want to know if he's allright. But they weren't giving any
information. But and so people kindof ran with us like, well,
wait, well they're not giving usany information. We got sources close to
the family just made sit up becausethey were basically going by like what his
friends were saying. They were like, a he's healing up, or like
we're praying. Everybody's like, oh, we're praying for him, but they
weren't giving any like details as towhat's happening. Like all those famous friends
(15:54):
are like I were praying for him, which makes it sounds really bad.
Yeah, and again they just madesome shit up. But that's and that's
fucked up. But like, weweren't getting anything from anywhere else, and
it seemed like it was fucking badbecause we weren't getting anything. But yeah,
white people are the devil, iswhat I'm saying that made no sense,
(16:15):
like like like that shit is.It's very irritating because they get to
do that shit and the people don'tactually do their own research like they just
like every time I see a headline, whether it be on Twitter or on
Facebook, I go to I goto Google, and I search it for
like five minutes to make sure thatthis is actually true, because I don't
(16:36):
believe anything on the internet anymore,like until I see it from like multiple
fucking sources and I'm like, thisis this is bullshit. Like these nigga
blogs, even black folks on theseblogs do the same shit. Like most
I feel like a lot of themare like white people, but some of
the ones that are run by blackfolks they do the same thing. And
I'm like, come on, man, yeah, well and it's and it's
(16:59):
just fast, just for fast clicks, right, fucking monetizing our pain is
shit. Yes, I mean that'sarguably what it is. That's exactly what
it is, man. Yeah,And you know they'll be the first ones
to get out there if like arapper or shot or stuff like that,
and it's look, you gotta yougotta report on it. I don't have
a problem with that. But thistype of thing where you're not accurate and
(17:22):
you're not really trying to be accurateeither, if we're being honest like that,
that's the problem, right, LikeI'm not mad you don't like you
don't. You're right, you don'treally give a fuck. So like if
if your entire money marketing mechanism isdealing in rap news or you know that
(17:45):
sort of thing, I don't know, man, actually give a fuck about
the culture a little bit. Likeyou could say, hey, man,
we don't know what's going on withJamie Fox. Like run a story about
like what you like about the guy, like your top five favorite Jamie Fox
things, like something that shows thatyou actually give a shit about this person
and not just he gonna die endof tweet, Like that's what the fuss.
(18:07):
Man, Come on, man,you can do something a little bit
better than that. So look,I don't. I don't follow rap TV.
I literally never will. I didn'teven know it existed. But stop
following this ship, man, It'slike, for real, stop following this
ship. You find out all ofthese all these so called you know,
black blogs are all run by whitepeople. Understand that those are people using
(18:30):
our culture for cash. Stop followingit. You want to do damage to
it. Let let all the whitesuburban kids follow that ship. You leave
it the funk along. I mean, look, I gotta block all that
shit on Twitter. Look, I'mvery annoyed. I'm very annoyed by it.
(18:52):
Like I understand, like you said, you can report on it,
right, you can report on it, But like I'm very annoyed by it
because I feel like in this mightbe a bit of a this might be
a bit extreme. I feel likeit's digital black face show. Like it's
not. It just doesn't I don'tknow, it doesn't sit well with me.
(19:15):
Bish, Yeah, it's black fishinglike like just like just be like,
just have a picture of yourself,right, Like aren't you proud of
what you built? Right? Likejust just throw a picture of your of
your of your of your white assup there and just like, hey,
this is rap tv IV. Ilove that we're doing like comic view versions
(19:40):
of white people, right, Whitepeople talk like this, White people I
gotta do, like what's his name? Fucking black TV? Like people get
on his ass, like you don'tput himself he don't like well, I
mean he's kind of like he youknow, Unfortunately the people jump on his
(20:02):
fucking platform. So like he callspeople up and they go and they do
a show. What is he gonnado? He gets money from it,
right, But like niggas be snitchingon his show. That's not his fault.
Stop being snitches, dumb motherfucker.Like I don't tell him, I
don't, I don't necessary I don'tnecessarily like him all that much. But
(20:22):
I'm saying it's not his fault comingon there, right, Yeah, shut
the fuck up, stop telling yourcrime. Stop it anyway. I just
but like these people that are likecompletely faceless, yeah, man, the
fuck out of here. No.And again there's a lot of them.
Some of them are like rushing ship, like at his fucking bets. I
(20:47):
remember a couple it was maybe likea year or two ago. There was
like there's a bunch of like memeaccounts, right like they they tweet out
a bunch of you know, veryyou know, like new memes and they're
mostly like blacks or whatever. Nay, you know, they say nigger and
him and all this other shit rightand there. But people thought they were
run by black people. Nope,it came out of the they's were run
(21:10):
by white people, and it's likethat is black fishing, you know,
like I saw what is it?What's what's the dude from What's the Tatted
Up Dude? Uh? What's thatthat band that sings Sunday Morning Mica that
you like? The fuck's the nameof that group Maroon five? Right,
(21:33):
isn't isn't isn't one of the guysthat Yeah, we all like that song.
I mean he doesn't even but isn'tWhat is that? Is that?
What's the of the singer's name,Adam Levine? Oh yeah, no,
never mind, it's not him.Actually, I'm sorry. It's Travis Barker,
right, like the dude from Blakeone eighty two. Right, he's
(21:53):
a drummer. Right, he's gota daughter, I guess, and I
guess he has a rap is likeAlabama shouldn't look like Hulk Hogan, but
like hand right, that's right.She looks ridiculous. But she's she's talking,
(22:18):
okays a picture, right, Sobut she's talking or rapping, which
was funny because she was lip singing, which was obvious. But she she's
she's rapping and she's like doing thiswhole thing in the like in the camera
and she's wearing this like ridiculous levelof makeup and like it was black fishing,
(22:40):
you know, she was trying tomake herself look like a black woman,
like a light skinned black woman.I was like, is this person
white or is this woman wearing abunch of makeup? And somebody was like,
that's Travis Barker's daughter. I waslike, okay, so she's white.
Then, like but again, thisis black fishing. Is a real
thing. Like you go on Instagram, you're like, because that was a
(23:00):
big thing for a while, likewhat race are you exactly? Like,
I'm not quite sure, but theyknow that if they if they have a
certain body type and they present themselvesas looking like maybe they're black or some
sort of you know, ethnic minority, then they get more of response right
(23:21):
in the way that they want.And to me, these blogs are very
similar to that. Like, oncethe ship comes out that these people are
not who we assume that they are, don't just be like, ah,
wrap TV, that's crazy, they'rerun by white people. MS still read
it. Stop reading it. Youwant this ship to end. The best
way to hurt a business is tocut it off by the fucking knees.
Stop subscribing, stop retweeting their shit, move on to something else. Find
(23:45):
a find black people who talk aboutthis culture because they're a part of it
and they won't try to exploit itjust for cash. And by the way,
if you find a black blog that'sdoing the same thing in Wrap TV
are doing, don't follow that shiteither. Be discerning in your media,
like that's important. Be discerning andwhere you spend your money. Oh,
this is nuts. I'm looking atpictures of her. By the way,
(24:08):
she now like, what the fuckis this? Yeah? This is offensive.
I'm offended, like truly, LikeI saw this other video of this
some Asian ship on Twitter. Uh, some dude drew a picture of her.
She was on the subway and thenshe opened her mouth and she sounded
(24:30):
like Scarlet Chick. Scarlet Chicken,got that song out, she got that
new song out. Back the fuckup, move the fuck back. Oh
yeah, realized right. She I'mlike, Okay, if you may have,
you may have grown up in thebronx, but like, come on,
(24:52):
yeah, come on, like yo, looking at these young sounds of
Alabama versus these You're offensive, Yo, It's fucking offensive. She went from
like Heidi to like Latoga. Shekind of relaxed. Come on, yeah,
this is ridiculous, but yeah,she was. She starts talking and
she like, it's just like ait's almost like a caricature of a New
(25:15):
York accent that she was doing.Like bitch, this bitch, that fucking
fucking crazy with it. I'm like, yo, and she looks like it's
almost like you know how people callhad said aquafina as a black scent.
Yeah, it's like a thousand timeswork. It's like a thousand times work.
I have to find a video.I'll send it to you guys,
but it's insane. And I'm like, yo, okay, cool. You
(25:38):
grew up in Bostom, I meannot Bostomore. You grew up in New
York around a bunch of black folks. I grew up in Bostomore about the
brown, a bunch of Bostimore niggas. I don't talk like them. I
can. I can do it.Yeah, yeah, you're Your Baltimore accent
is actually fucking solid as shit.Yeah I can do it, but I
like I don't. First of all, it's it's an insane accent. You're
(26:08):
talking about nigga like Duny like itis you doing, bitch you're talking about
like all right, okay, youknow what cool. I understand it.
I understand it, but like thatwould be like me talking like that,
and it's just it's just weird.Like I had like the yeah man,
(26:30):
like they really love it and likelike turn it off. Nigga. Everybody
want to be but nobody want tobe a nigga. Just be yourself,
you know, like that clip yousent us the other day of that Indian
comic and he was he was talkingabout right like yeah, it's like this
(26:52):
is an Australian woman right like Bobbyright like and and he's like, yo,
she's doing like like black voice orsome shit. And he was like,
yo, what can you imagine ifif you went to an Indian restaurant
and a white person came up toyou. It was like, would you
(27:14):
like a bumping up? I'm justready. I'm just doing it for my
job. Like that's not next,that's not people's like just yourself and we
give them a And the other thingis like we're I feel like we're way
too fucking we give people. We'reway too nice, you know, we're
(27:34):
way too nice. When he passeslike cultures like, you don't have to
talk like that. Iggy, youwere born in like fucking Brisbane or whatever,
whatever the hell you were born like, you don't talk like that.
Don't talk like that, because whenyou're in a fucking interview, you're saying
like fucking crocodile, dundee. Andthe funny thing is what she misses and
(27:56):
what other like, let's say,like foreign folks miss like, Okay,
you're a rapper and you have aparticular accent. That's fine. That actually
makes it kind of interesting. Itmakes you unique to hear a rap rap
artist who has an Australian accent.Okay, you have an Australian accent.
Look, there's niggas from all differentdialects and regions inside the US. They
(28:21):
sound different. Dud Dudes from NewOrleans who raps sound different than niggas in
New York, sound different than niggasin LA. That's fine. They don't
have to put on a fake likeaccent from a different area. That's just
what they sound like. That's theI hate to say this because it sounds
so fucking lean, but it's true. That's the beautiful tapestry that is rap
(28:42):
music is that you get to soundlike how you sound right. You don't
have to sound Everybody doesn't have tosound like jay Z. Everybody doesn't have
to sound like Big crit. Everybodydoesn't have to sound like fucking you know,
doctor Dre or whatever. Like.You can sound different. That's okay,
but that's what is. That's whatmakes the music different. Niggas rapping
(29:02):
in Japanese. People were rapping inother languages they do. It's fine that
you're allowed to do that, butstop blackfish and stop pretending to sound like
us. It's annoying. I'm nevergonna take Iggy Azalea seriously one she fucking
sucks anyway, but I'm never gonnatake you seriously because that's a fake ass
accent. And the fact that,like you said, you do one accent
(29:26):
when you're doing the music and acompletely different accent when you're being interviewed is
fucking silly to me. And blackpeople need to stop giving this shit a
pass. Fuck that, Oh TravisBarker daughter, Oh I saw like I
saw like this black woman's like,oh she like this was so good or
whatever, like whatever shit freestyle orwhatever she was doing. No fuck that.
(29:48):
I'd be like May get this bullshitout of my face. Talk like
you normally talk, because if youwere going out, if you were meeting
with a bunch of your rich daddy'sfriends, I guarantee you don't talk like
that. I guarantee you you don'tthe funk out of here ship might they
might all talk like that. I'mget the fuck up, like this is
(30:11):
fucking disgusting. I'm looking at thesepictures like this is fucked up. I
don't like none of this. Soshe literally looked like fucking Heidi from like
the Sound of Music when she wasa little kid. Yeah, stop it,
this is ridiculous. But now,but now she want to be a
nigga, knock it off again.You can, you can, you can,
you can rap. You can evenhave all the aesthetic minus darkening your
(30:34):
skin. It's annoying. Stop doingthat because this this is just light black
face. You just you just sprinklingthe ship on instead of just putting it
on. You're putting black face foundationon, like you can't literally what it
is. Pancake makeup to make yourselflook darker, and we don't act like
(30:56):
we don't notice you. Ariana Grande, Come on, knock it off.
You're white as free. She's likesuper white. She was like, I
gotta get out there. Hold ona second, It's just it's just so
odd. I don't like. Iknow, we're dope. We are,
we're amazing people, right like,but like, you don't fuck off.
(31:18):
You don't get to you don't getnaha, you don't get to be us
just because. But not bled notyou're not blayed. You don't get all
day. You're gonna be if you'regonna be. If you want to be
us, then you're gonna be us. You gotta if you want to if
you want to to be uh incredibleentertainers, you gotta take the racism that
(31:40):
comes with it. Get out ofhere. Get out of here. Look
a lot of it. Look asmuch as I look, as much as
I as much as I don't likethis guy, as much as this guy
gets on my nerves. Michael Rapp, Michael Rapp, that dude, yeah
lap, he loves that shit.Man. He is he is himself,
(32:04):
that is him. He ain't puttingon airs for nobody, right and and
that is the one thing I respectabout him is that he's a couple of
nigga kids. I mean, likelike that's he probably ad lived that ship.
He ain't trying to be fake.Yo, he's not trying to be
fake. Don't be fake. That'sit. Just don't be fake. You
(32:24):
can love the stuff that we love. Don't be fake. Guess what I
love, Seinfeld, I love it. You do not see me walking around
with a fucking yamaka on my head, Like, get out of here,
man, It's fine to like shit. Just don't be fake. Yeah,
I mean, in fairness, thegovernor of Florida sounds just like the rabbi
(32:45):
from sun Well l there are manyquestions, said mad Corny, I have
to send you something. But look, I mean, yeah, to your
(33:06):
point, like stop pretending, justbe yourself. Like the thing is you
you get to benefit from the workthat we have done as a culture that
is finally being accepted right as mainstreamculture in America, But you don't.
You don't have any of the painthat comes behind that. Like what you're
(33:27):
seeing is like, oh, thecool clothes or or the rap lyrics and
everything else. But like where doesthat shit come from? Like do you
ask yourself that? Look, yousay all the shit you want, Eminem,
doesn't that niggat is a part ofthe culture. But he don't try
to pretend to be something he's not. He doesn't. Right, there are
rap artists, there are a whiterap artists who are themselves. You don't
(33:51):
have to do this fake bullshit.You don't. You don't, people will
take take you seriously. If it'smac Lamar, right, Maclamarine a recent
hit. The dude asked him,he was like, do you think for
a culture vulture? He's like,I mean, I'm a guest. I
don't think I'm a culture vulture.Like I'm a guest of the culture.
I don't claim it as my own, but like I deserve to be here
(34:14):
because I'm I'm all right as aas an MC, you know, fatable,
But like he's not like trying tobe a nigga. Like he's just
like I like hip I grew uplistening to hip hop. I'm not putting
on a weird accent. And that'swhat Little Dickie is. Another one,
Little Dickie doesn't pretend to be black, you know, he doesn't. He
(34:37):
doesn't know. So it's like Ican respect, I can respect those guys
who do that and who are themselves. I do not respect anybody who's gonna
put on a fucking fake accent.That's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It drives
me crazy and and I honestly thinkthe people that just let it rock making
me angrier than the people that actuallydo it. Yeah, because I'm like,
(34:58):
you know, she don't sound likethat, but y'all just say,
like, oh, she'll like Ilike her music. It's like, well,
first of all, it's not verygood. Second of all, y'all
just letting these people just it shouldn'tbe about race. It's like, but
like it kind of is, yeah, because they're like making like I'm not
gonna say they're making fun of it, but it almost seems like that's what
it is. It's exploited. It'slike I'm gonna put I'm gonna put this
(35:20):
voice on and I'm gonna sound likea black person because that's what they want
to hear. You know. Itsounds like comedy. Like the white people
on Comic View like what's his name? I'm not a big fan of his,
but also he's what's the white thatwhite comedian he was married to a
black gar Yeah, he's the he'sthe one crossover white comics from right like
(35:42):
he was in all the Black Shipat for one part. But he didn't
pretend to be black. He justlike a black culture apparently, right,
So you know, I don't know. Like that new kid Matt Rife,
the one that the Tiara likes becausehe's a he works out of that white
boy, he's actually kind of funny. I mean he's actually kind I was
(36:05):
surprised. I watched a couple ofhis clothes. I'm like, he's little
bit funny. Like he says,he's like he hangs around black folks.
Yeah, he's got a little bitof an accent that I'm like, yeah,
slow it down, but like relax, but like you can tell like
he's like he hangs around niggas andhe just happens to be funny. So
yeah, but like yourself, extrashit is just gross to me. Yeah,
(36:28):
I'm not I'm not a fan ofit. I don't give a fuck
if it's Travis Barker, I don'tgive a fuck of his Alabama Barker.
That's a terrible name. Was thather name was that her stage? That's
her, that's her name's Alabama Barker. That's what he named his child.
I mean, look, apparently wename my children Mtrius with a T so
(36:50):
I guess I can't talk, butyeah, yeah, there you go.
But like I don't, I don'tcare who like who you are. Stop
stop pretending to be us. It'sannoying, Like, just just stop.
You can look, Travis Barker hasall the fucking tattoos any money could ever
want. And he's a very richand I'm sure very I'm sure he's a
(37:16):
very nice guy. I don't know, don't give a fuck. How about
teaching your daughter how not to bea fucking culture vulture, because this is
a culture vulture, that's what itis. Because you are literally pretending to
be a part of this culture thatyou are not a part of. You're
not You're you're literally using your dad, dad's money and cloud to buy your
(37:37):
way in what an incredibly lame whitegirl thing to do. And I don't
care that you're seventeen. Don't bringme some oh Jesus a kid. Yeah,
well, her parents should have taughther about her maybe instead of getting
the nineteenth tattoo, you could havetaught your daughter about how not to appropriate
a culture like some kind of fuckingheat. And I always hated blink one
(38:00):
eighty two. I think their musicfucking stinks. This is a personal assign
for me, not a fing.But like you don't see but you don't
see like black artists who do rockmusic, you don't see them putting on
a fake fucking accent. They don'tjust play your music, though, Just
play your music, like the shipis annoying. Like Zach Dale Lear rocha
(38:24):
not a white guy. He doesn'tbe like, hey, how can I
sound like a white guy to breakinto this whole rock and roll thing?
Like he doesn't. He's just somefucking stuff. Just play your music.
If you're good, you'll get in. You'll get pulled into the culture because
of your quality of your work.Whatever you think. Eminem Now he was
respected at least apparently there's like abig bad clash about him. Now I
(38:46):
don't know or give a fuck,But like for a long time when he
figured came out, he was respectedbecause he was just a good artist.
That was it. Like he overcomecame just being a white because he was
a good artist. Like people werelike, all right, like whatever you
say, the dude can rent.Like he didn't have to put on a
fake accent. I remember when Ifirst heard him, it was like nineteen
(39:09):
ninety six and ninety seven. Ididn't even know what his name was.
I heard him on a radio andI'm like, I thought it was black.
He had a weird delivery. I'mlike, what the fuck? This
is really odd. It was himand Royster five nine. Also, it
was on a song together, andI'm like, I don't know either one
of these niggas, but they're dope. And then I saw him like a
couple of years later, I'm like, Oh, that's that dude I heard
(39:30):
on the radio like three years ago. What the fuck? Oh wow?
Okay, Eminem, what's happening.Marshall Mathers, Yeah, that's about that's
the whitest name you can possibly have. Well, Robin winkles pretty bad.
(39:58):
Stop stop stop sucking U trying tobus it's annoying. It just like you
don't have to get you don't getpulled over by the cops. Yeah,
I don't think. I don't thinkOld Alabama is going to have to deal
with what it's like to be anigga in America. Like I gotta find
(40:19):
that video of that Asian ship.It's fucking just yeah, Okay, all
right, that is it? Ufor us. We will be back next
week to talk about Cotton Comes toHarlem episode two forty three. So later,
guys, yeah yeah, yeah,yeah yeah two
I have a village right last timef change. Okay, let's wrap with
Jamesonnage. You know. Hello andwelcome to a brand new preview episode for
Black and Black Cinema. I'm yourhost, James hit my co host Michael
(00:27):
Hey Hey, and Terence. What'sup? All right, guys, We're
back. This is a previous episodefor episode two forty three. Cop Comes
to Harlem. U Tiara is outthis week and she likely will not be
on the next episode. But thelogline for this film from nineteen seventy is,
(00:48):
quote two Harlem Cops investigator robbery,believing that a reverend has staged it
in order to steal the money hecollected from a local fundraiser. Uh yeah,
spoiler alert. I've never seen thismovie. He stole it just a
gas. But you can check outCotton Comes to Harlem, classic black exploitation
film. It's on YouTube. Justsearch for that name. You'll find it
(01:11):
super easy. It's about an hourand a half, I think, but
check that out. We will diginto that. We haven't done a black
sploitation movie in a while, butwe will dig into that next week.
Watching before you, I was watchinga little documentary on YouTube about black exploitation.
You know who created that phrase forblack exploitation movies, like the NAACP
(01:34):
did because they didn't like them.Oh interesting, Yeah, like they would
like, we don't like and wedon't like these these movies because they're like
putting Negroes in the bed like andthey like they created a whole thing against
them. Meanwhile, the people thatwere making the movies were like, nah,
these just movies. Brou stop callingit. Yeah, I mean that
(01:57):
really kind of backfired. Yeah,I didn't work out well for you,
and now it's yeah, they destroyeda whole genre because they didn't like it.
Yeah, I mean, I meanthe Double ACP has done a lot
of great things. They also havedone it. They want to bury the
word nigga. That's exactly what Iwas gonna bring up. They literally bury
the word or like end of this, well, Nigga is back. I
(02:23):
don't know what to tell you,Like Nigga came back fast and Nigga came
back fasted and Jesus came back.That's how powerful that word is. Sorry,
So, yeah, cock comes toHarlem. We'll go into that again.
You can watch it on YouTube oryou can you know, rent it
(02:43):
and on I'm sure Amazon is somethinglike that or if you own it,
check it out. We will talkabout in depth. The random topic this
week is about Jamie Fox, whichwe got a bit of a scare uh
this week, with reports that athe was kind of on death's door and
(03:04):
his loved ones were preparing for theworst, according to outlets like rap TV.
Then his daughter, who would definitelyknow better than them, came out,
Karen Fox, and was like,no, that's not true at all.
Quote my dad has been out ofthe hospital for weeks recuperating. In
(03:25):
fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday. Thanks for everyone's prayers and support.
Look, I'm glad Jamie Fox isuh doing well. Whatever happened, I
don't know, nobody really knows.There's talk about him having a stroke,
but that's none of that has beenverified. He's what fifty one years old,
(03:51):
right, fifty five? And likeI don't know, man, like
from a from a celebrity stay point, and I try not to, you
know, put people in boxes likethat when they pass, because there's they
are people, They're more than justtheir job. But like he means a
lot to our generation at least,Like you know, music wise, you
(04:15):
know, acting wise, you knowfrom the Jamie Fox Show, you know,
even before that in Living Color andthen watching his sort of meteoric rise
and all this other stuff over theyears. Like he means a lot.
And I just cannot imagine waking upone day that Jamie Fox is dead at
like fifty five years old, Likethat's crazy. So this was a little
terrifying, honestly. Yeah, wedid an episode kind of like this,
(04:40):
uh while back, where we wantedto make sure that we appreciate all black
entertainers given their flowers, you know, before they're dead, and this health
scare really put that in perspective,especially with Jamie Fox, because Jamie Fox
is one of the few people inin entertainment, Uh that is a jack
(05:03):
of all trades. This guy cando anything, and he's very very good
at everything that he does when itcomes to entertainment. Uh, he can
sing, he can act. Canhe dance? I don't know if I've
ever seen him dance. Sure,probably he's I mean he probably could if
(05:26):
he put his mind to it.Like that's how he gives right, give
him enough prep time, he cando whatever he wants. Now, I
don't want to see Jamie Fox asBatman. Yeah, man, he's I
mean, he's gonna be Spawn likehis his old as I meandends to I
(05:54):
mean, look, no offense toMichael Joy White, but but if I'm
gonna have an act to play Spawn, I'm gonna have. He's he's already
done a better performance at Spawn thanMichael Joy White. And because because he's
that good of an actor. Uhlook he uh he I love Michael Joy
(06:17):
White. I love that guy.He's he's, he's great. He's gonna
be in He's gonna be in amovie that I can't wait to see.
Look he uh he disappeared into therole of Ray Charles, and that is
that is unfathomable given that Jamie Foxis a big star also playing a gigantic
(06:41):
figure in music. He uh,he's, he's worked, he's had a
he's run the gamut of of movieroles. You know, he was in
stuff like he was in stuff likeDjango Unchained and jar Head. But he's
(07:05):
also in like Booty Call uh andand Annie. But he was also like
soul not care for that movie?Well Annie, Yeah, I saw I
had been of that. I waslike, that wasn't it wasn't great.
He was in Soul Uh that Pixarmovie, which was really good. I
(07:28):
really liked that movie. And whocould forget Bait? And uh, who
can who can forget? Who couldforget his role as motherfucker Jones and horrible
Bosses. So it's just the bestname ever here two number one things we're
(07:56):
trying to give him, We try. We're trying to give him Flowers,
not Dandy white House, down God, even a lot of terrible fucking movies.
But like, yeah, this isbut like you gotta be some sh
like you know, but like hebut he's also right, he was an
(08:18):
elite. He played what's his name, Bun Bundini is a man or something
like that. Sleepless was on hereman. So look, they don't.
What I'm saying is they don't makeentertainers like this anymore. You know,
(08:39):
usually somebody is. We could barelyget good enough actors to to, you
know, do what they do best, let alone they're comedian. He's got
a funny fucking stand up. Imight need security. It's hilarious. Like
he's genuinely funny, right, Likehe's not like he's not like funny for
(09:01):
an actor, right, or funnyfor a comedian. Nah, this dude
is a comedian, and and whichis you know, it's one of the
reasons why he's a good actor.It is because he was a comedian first,
Like you have to to be agood comedian, you have to be
able to tap into some real likedark shit, you know what I mean,
(09:24):
And that transitions into acting well,whereas most actors, you know,
they aren't necessarily funny. So yeah, man, Also, yep, yep,
dude is a fucking He's literally afucking jack of all traces. It's
(09:48):
really impressive. And we've we've he'sbeen in the spotlight for thirty plus years,
all right, so we've we've whenthey're living color come out, like
nineteen ninety one. He wasn't inthe first season. I don't think he
was. I think he came inlike the second and third season. But
like that was like ninety two ninetythree, that was twenty twenty three.
It was thirty years of Jamie Foxjust just entered. Like it's and he's
(10:13):
been consistent, Like, yeah,he's got some he's had some lulls,
but like he's been consistent, veryentertaining, great acting, great comedian,
great musician. Yeah, if I'dhave woke up one day and it has
said Jammie Fox passed away, I'dhave been mad. I'd have been sad,
but like, like, come on, man, you have been hurt.
Man, I'd have been hurt.Which is why these people, which
(10:35):
is which is why these white ownedblogs that disguise the trojan horse themselves as
black owned media. Uh, they'refucked up, man, yep. Uh
you know. And I get thebusiness is all about like getting clicks and
ship, but like I miss Imiss like actual journalism and and I mean
(11:00):
it's still there, but like thewaters of the waters are very muddy man
like, and and shit like thiswith this trojan horse media doesn't doesn't help
matters. Like these people should befucking ashamed. We only want to get
it right. That's crazy. LikeTMZ is the source for like actual news
(11:24):
nowadays, but like entertainment news besides, like e, yeah, if you
want to find out that somebody reallydie or they're about to die, if
it's on TMZ, that should isaccurate. Like you can you can almost
guarantee it. Look, I meanI mean yeah, look, I think
it's it's a good time to pivotto that whole point, right, Like
(11:46):
yo, look shout out to kevnStage who who kind of was one of
the people who kind of spearheaded likeputting this out there, which is like
the people who are behind wrap TVand there it's a completely white staff,
right, And you're right, likethis is one of many blogs that you
know, like no Jumper and stufflike that, that are almost completely fronted
(12:09):
by white people, right, andit's and it's the problem here is I
don't have a problem with like Idon't care about white people speaking on rap
culture or whatever like not like wecreated it, like obviously have a problem
with that, but like reporting onit, like whatever, it's entertainment news,
I don't I don't care. LikeKurt Loder had been doing it for
forty five years on MTV, right, so Kurt Loder eighty years old.
(12:33):
They just shut down MTVV. Yeah. But but like so I don't have
a problem with that fundamentally, Butthere is something to be said about digging
into or reporting on something that isvery much black culture and not giving a
(12:54):
shit if you get it right,right, Like you're using you're you're putting
this out there, You're not doingyour due diligence about this story about a
person people truly care about and likewant to, you know, see do
well and stuff like that. Thisis a guy is I wouldn't say like
and there's nothing against him. Iwouldn't call him like, quote unquote a
pillar in our community type of thing. But he is a big fucking person
(13:18):
in our community, right, likepeople love Jamie Fox and for you know,
for good reason, like he seemslike a totally solid, nice guy,
right and very accomplished, and foryou to use what is happening to
him as just just a story forclicks, like Michael was saying, and
not give a fuck about the man. That's the problem. It's not that
(13:39):
you're reporting on it like you canyou're allowed to report on it, because
I think that's sort of getting lostin the conversation people like, what only
black people can report it? Now, that's not what we're saying. But
when you're gonna do this, whenyou're gonna step into that culture that you
actually do not belong to get itright, you should really make sure to
get it right. And look,everybody should, but you especially should because
(14:01):
especially when you have one you're anoutsider two, you have a massive following.
And three, nobody knew all yourmotherfuckers were white. And I think
you know that because you can't easilyfind that ship unless people are searching for
wrap TV on LinkedIn, which neverhappens, I assure you. So,
no, you have an obligation.If you're going to stay in outside of
(14:24):
the culture and report on it,you need to get it correct. Like
it's fucked up that you're just usingthis guy's potential misery or his family's misery
for clicks. It's not cool.Yeah, And the thing that for me
it was the fact that I knowit was really it's technically none of our
business, right, like it's personalshit. But like there were no updates.
(14:46):
There were like no updates at allfrom the family. He went in
there, he went to the hospitalon April twelfth or something like that,
and I'm like, is he good? Like what the fuck is going on?
Like nothing for a whole month,And I'm like, I hope piece
if we don't get any updates,and again it does it's not necessarily any
of our business. But like wegrew up, which we grew up with
(15:09):
your father, Like I understand this, your dad like your dad, Like
your dad has been in the industrylonger than you've been alive, right as
far as like Karin, as faras his daughter goes. So it's kind
of like we've seen this nigga sincehe was like thirty or early in his
late twenties. Yeah, and hislate twenties, and I'm like, yo,
(15:30):
I want to know if he's allright. But they weren't giving any
information. But and so people kindof ran with us like, well,
wait, well they're not giving usany information. We got sources close to
the family just made sit up becausethey were basically going by like what his
friends were saying. They were like, a he's healing up, or like
we're praying. Everybody's like, oh, we're praying for him, but they
weren't giving any like details as towhat's happening. Like all those famous friends
(15:54):
are like I were praying for him, which makes it sounds really bad.
Yeah, and again they just madesome shit up. But that's and that's
fucked up. But like, weweren't getting anything from anywhere else, and
it seemed like it was fucking badbecause we weren't getting anything. But yeah,
white people are the devil, iswhat I'm saying that made no sense,
(16:15):
like like like that shit is.It's very irritating because they get to
do that shit and the people don'tactually do their own research like they just
like every time I see a headline, whether it be on Twitter or on
Facebook, I go to I goto Google, and I search it for
like five minutes to make sure thatthis is actually true, because I don't
(16:36):
believe anything on the internet anymore,like until I see it from like multiple
fucking sources and I'm like, thisis this is bullshit. Like these nigga
blogs, even black folks on theseblogs do the same shit. Like most
I feel like a lot of themare like white people, but some of
the ones that are run by blackfolks they do the same thing. And
I'm like, come on, man, yeah, well and it's and it's
(16:59):
just fast, just for fast clicks, right, fucking monetizing our pain is
shit. Yes, I mean that'sarguably what it is. That's exactly what
it is, man. Yeah,And you know they'll be the first ones
to get out there if like arapper or shot or stuff like that,
and it's look, you gotta yougotta report on it. I don't have
a problem with that. But thistype of thing where you're not accurate and
(17:22):
you're not really trying to be accurateeither, if we're being honest like that,
that's the problem, right, LikeI'm not mad you don't like you
don't. You're right, you don'treally give a fuck. So like if
if your entire money marketing mechanism isdealing in rap news or you know that
(17:45):
sort of thing, I don't know, man, actually give a fuck about
the culture a little bit. Likeyou could say, hey, man,
we don't know what's going on withJamie Fox. Like run a story about
like what you like about the guy, like your top five favorite Jamie Fox
things, like something that shows thatyou actually give a shit about this person
and not just he gonna die endof tweet, Like that's what the fuss.
(18:07):
Man, Come on, man,you can do something a little bit
better than that. So look,I don't. I don't follow rap TV.
I literally never will. I didn'teven know it existed. But stop
following this ship, man, It'slike, for real, stop following this
ship. You find out all ofthese all these so called you know,
black blogs are all run by whitepeople. Understand that those are people using
(18:30):
our culture for cash. Stop followingit. You want to do damage to
it. Let let all the whitesuburban kids follow that ship. You leave
it the funk along. I mean, look, I gotta block all that
shit on Twitter. Look, I'mvery annoyed. I'm very annoyed by it.
(18:52):
Like I understand, like you said, you can report on it,
right, you can report on it, But like I'm very annoyed by it
because I feel like in this mightbe a bit of a this might be
a bit extreme. I feel likeit's digital black face show. Like it's
not. It just doesn't I don'tknow, it doesn't sit well with me.
(19:15):
Bish, Yeah, it's black fishinglike like just like just be like,
just have a picture of yourself,right, Like aren't you proud of
what you built? Right? Likejust just throw a picture of your of
your of your of your white assup there and just like, hey,
this is rap tv IV. Ilove that we're doing like comic view versions
(19:40):
of white people, right, Whitepeople talk like this, White people I
gotta do, like what's his name? Fucking black TV? Like people get
on his ass, like you don'tput himself he don't like well, I
mean he's kind of like he youknow, Unfortunately the people jump on his
(20:02):
fucking platform. So like he callspeople up and they go and they do
a show. What is he gonnado? He gets money from it,
right, But like niggas be snitchingon his show. That's not his fault.
Stop being snitches, dumb motherfucker.Like I don't tell him, I
don't, I don't necessary I don'tnecessarily like him all that much. But
(20:22):
I'm saying it's not his fault comingon there, right, Yeah, shut
the fuck up, stop telling yourcrime. Stop it anyway. I just
but like these people that are likecompletely faceless, yeah, man, the
fuck out of here. No.And again there's a lot of them.
Some of them are like rushing ship, like at his fucking bets. I
(20:47):
remember a couple it was maybe likea year or two ago. There was
like there's a bunch of like memeaccounts, right like they they tweet out
a bunch of you know, veryyou know, like new memes and they're
mostly like blacks or whatever. Nay, you know, they say nigger and
him and all this other shit rightand there. But people thought they were
run by black people. Nope,it came out of the they's were run
(21:10):
by white people, and it's likethat is black fishing, you know,
like I saw what is it?What's what's the dude from What's the Tatted
Up Dude? Uh? What's thatthat band that sings Sunday Morning Mica that
you like? The fuck's the nameof that group Maroon five? Right,
(21:33):
isn't isn't isn't one of the guysthat Yeah, we all like that song.
I mean he doesn't even but isn'tWhat is that? Is that?
What's the of the singer's name,Adam Levine? Oh yeah, no,
never mind, it's not him.Actually, I'm sorry. It's Travis Barker,
right, like the dude from Blakeone eighty two. Right, he's
(21:53):
a drummer. Right, he's gota daughter, I guess, and I
guess he has a rap is likeAlabama shouldn't look like Hulk Hogan, but
like hand right, that's right.She looks ridiculous. But she's she's talking,
(22:18):
okays a picture, right, Sobut she's talking or rapping, which
was funny because she was lip singing, which was obvious. But she she's
she's rapping and she's like doing thiswhole thing in the like in the camera
and she's wearing this like ridiculous levelof makeup and like it was black fishing,
(22:40):
you know, she was trying tomake herself look like a black woman,
like a light skinned black woman.I was like, is this person
white or is this woman wearing abunch of makeup? And somebody was like,
that's Travis Barker's daughter. I waslike, okay, so she's white.
Then, like but again, thisis black fishing. Is a real
thing. Like you go on Instagram, you're like, because that was a
(23:00):
big thing for a while, likewhat race are you exactly? Like,
I'm not quite sure, but theyknow that if they if they have a
certain body type and they present themselvesas looking like maybe they're black or some
sort of you know, ethnic minority, then they get more of response right
(23:21):
in the way that they want.And to me, these blogs are very
similar to that. Like, oncethe ship comes out that these people are
not who we assume that they are, don't just be like, ah,
wrap TV, that's crazy, they'rerun by white people. MS still read
it. Stop reading it. Youwant this ship to end. The best
way to hurt a business is tocut it off by the fucking knees.
Stop subscribing, stop retweeting their shit, move on to something else. Find
(23:45):
a find black people who talk aboutthis culture because they're a part of it
and they won't try to exploit itjust for cash. And by the way,
if you find a black blog that'sdoing the same thing in Wrap TV
are doing, don't follow that shiteither. Be discerning in your media,
like that's important. Be discerning andwhere you spend your money. Oh,
this is nuts. I'm looking atpictures of her. By the way,
(24:08):
she now like, what the fuckis this? Yeah? This is offensive.
I'm offended, like truly, LikeI saw this other video of this
some Asian ship on Twitter. Uh, some dude drew a picture of her.
She was on the subway and thenshe opened her mouth and she sounded
(24:30):
like Scarlet Chick. Scarlet Chicken,got that song out, she got that
new song out. Back the fuckup, move the fuck back. Oh
yeah, realized right. She I'mlike, Okay, if you may have,
you may have grown up in thebronx, but like, come on,
(24:52):
yeah, come on, like yo, looking at these young sounds of
Alabama versus these You're offensive, Yo, It's fucking offensive. She went from
like Heidi to like Latoga. Shekind of relaxed. Come on, yeah,
this is ridiculous, but yeah,she was. She starts talking and
she like, it's just like ait's almost like a caricature of a New
(25:15):
York accent that she was doing.Like bitch, this bitch, that fucking
fucking crazy with it. I'm like, yo, and she looks like it's
almost like you know how people callhad said aquafina as a black scent.
Yeah, it's like a thousand timeswork. It's like a thousand times work.
I have to find a video.I'll send it to you guys,
but it's insane. And I'm like, yo, okay, cool. You
(25:38):
grew up in Bostom, I meannot Bostomore. You grew up in New
York around a bunch of black folks. I grew up in Bostomore about the
brown, a bunch of Bostimore niggas. I don't talk like them. I
can. I can do it.Yeah, yeah, you're Your Baltimore accent
is actually fucking solid as shit.Yeah I can do it, but I
like I don't. First of all, it's it's an insane accent. You're
(26:08):
talking about nigga like Duny like itis you doing, bitch you're talking about
like all right, okay, youknow what cool. I understand it.
I understand it, but like thatwould be like me talking like that,
and it's just it's just weird.Like I had like the yeah man,
(26:30):
like they really love it and likelike turn it off. Nigga. Everybody
want to be but nobody want tobe a nigga. Just be yourself,
you know, like that clip yousent us the other day of that Indian
comic and he was he was talkingabout right like yeah, it's like this
(26:52):
is an Australian woman right like Bobbyright like and and he's like, yo,
she's doing like like black voice orsome shit. And he was like,
yo, what can you imagine ifif you went to an Indian restaurant
and a white person came up toyou. It was like, would you
(27:14):
like a bumping up? I'm justready. I'm just doing it for my
job. Like that's not next,that's not people's like just yourself and we
give them a And the other thingis like we're I feel like we're way
too fucking we give people. We'reway too nice, you know, we're
(27:34):
way too nice. When he passeslike cultures like, you don't have to
talk like that. Iggy, youwere born in like fucking Brisbane or whatever,
whatever the hell you were born like, you don't talk like that.
Don't talk like that, because whenyou're in a fucking interview, you're saying
like fucking crocodile, dundee. Andthe funny thing is what she misses and
(27:56):
what other like, let's say,like foreign folks miss like, Okay,
you're a rapper and you have aparticular accent. That's fine. That actually
makes it kind of interesting. Itmakes you unique to hear a rap rap
artist who has an Australian accent.Okay, you have an Australian accent.
Look, there's niggas from all differentdialects and regions inside the US. They
(28:21):
sound different. Dud Dudes from NewOrleans who raps sound different than niggas in
New York, sound different than niggasin LA. That's fine. They don't
have to put on a fake likeaccent from a different area. That's just
what they sound like. That's theI hate to say this because it sounds
so fucking lean, but it's true. That's the beautiful tapestry that is rap
(28:42):
music is that you get to soundlike how you sound right. You don't
have to sound Everybody doesn't have tosound like jay Z. Everybody doesn't have
to sound like Big crit. Everybodydoesn't have to sound like fucking you know,
doctor Dre or whatever. Like.You can sound different. That's okay,
but that's what is. That's whatmakes the music different. Niggas rapping
(29:02):
in Japanese. People were rapping inother languages they do. It's fine that
you're allowed to do that, butstop blackfish and stop pretending to sound like
us. It's annoying. I'm nevergonna take Iggy Azalea seriously one she fucking
sucks anyway, but I'm never gonnatake you seriously because that's a fake ass
accent. And the fact that,like you said, you do one accent
(29:26):
when you're doing the music and acompletely different accent when you're being interviewed is
fucking silly to me. And blackpeople need to stop giving this shit a
pass. Fuck that, Oh TravisBarker daughter, Oh I saw like I
saw like this black woman's like,oh she like this was so good or
whatever, like whatever shit freestyle orwhatever she was doing. No fuck that.
(29:48):
I'd be like May get this bullshitout of my face. Talk like
you normally talk, because if youwere going out, if you were meeting
with a bunch of your rich daddy'sfriends, I guarantee you don't talk like
that. I guarantee you you don'tthe funk out of here ship might they
might all talk like that. I'mget the fuck up, like this is
(30:11):
fucking disgusting. I'm looking at thesepictures like this is fucked up. I
don't like none of this. Soshe literally looked like fucking Heidi from like
the Sound of Music when she wasa little kid. Yeah, stop it,
this is ridiculous. But now,but now she want to be a
nigga, knock it off again.You can, you can, you can,
you can rap. You can evenhave all the aesthetic minus darkening your
(30:34):
skin. It's annoying. Stop doingthat because this this is just light black
face. You just you just sprinklingthe ship on instead of just putting it
on. You're putting black face foundationon, like you can't literally what it
is. Pancake makeup to make yourselflook darker, and we don't act like
(30:56):
we don't notice you. Ariana Grande, Come on, knock it off.
You're white as free. She's likesuper white. She was like, I
gotta get out there. Hold ona second, It's just it's just so
odd. I don't like. Iknow, we're dope. We are,
we're amazing people, right like,but like, you don't fuck off.
(31:18):
You don't get to you don't getnaha, you don't get to be us
just because. But not bled notyou're not blayed. You don't get all
day. You're gonna be if you'regonna be. If you want to be
us, then you're gonna be us. You gotta if you want to if
you want to to be uh incredibleentertainers, you gotta take the racism that
(31:40):
comes with it. Get out ofhere. Get out of here. Look
a lot of it. Look asmuch as I look, as much as
I as much as I don't likethis guy, as much as this guy
gets on my nerves. Michael Rapp, Michael Rapp, that dude, yeah
lap, he loves that shit.Man. He is he is himself,
(32:04):
that is him. He ain't puttingon airs for nobody, right and and
that is the one thing I respectabout him is that he's a couple of
nigga kids. I mean, likelike that's he probably ad lived that ship.
He ain't trying to be fake.Yo, he's not trying to be
fake. Don't be fake. That'sit. Just don't be fake. You
(32:24):
can love the stuff that we love. Don't be fake. Guess what I
love, Seinfeld, I love it. You do not see me walking around
with a fucking yamaka on my head, Like, get out of here,
man, It's fine to like shit. Just don't be fake. Yeah,
I mean, in fairness, thegovernor of Florida sounds just like the rabbi
(32:45):
from sun Well l there are manyquestions, said mad Corny, I have
to send you something. But look, I mean, yeah, to your
(33:06):
point, like stop pretending, justbe yourself. Like the thing is you
you get to benefit from the workthat we have done as a culture that
is finally being accepted right as mainstreamculture in America, But you don't.
You don't have any of the painthat comes behind that. Like what you're
(33:27):
seeing is like, oh, thecool clothes or or the rap lyrics and
everything else. But like where doesthat shit come from? Like do you
ask yourself that? Look, yousay all the shit you want, Eminem,
doesn't that niggat is a part ofthe culture. But he don't try
to pretend to be something he's not. He doesn't. Right, there are
rap artists, there are a whiterap artists who are themselves. You don't
(33:51):
have to do this fake bullshit.You don't. You don't, people will
take take you seriously. If it'smac Lamar, right, Maclamarine a recent
hit. The dude asked him,he was like, do you think for
a culture vulture? He's like,I mean, I'm a guest. I
don't think I'm a culture vulture.Like I'm a guest of the culture.
I don't claim it as my own, but like I deserve to be here
(34:14):
because I'm I'm all right as aas an MC, you know, fatable,
But like he's not like trying tobe a nigga. Like he's just
like I like hip I grew uplistening to hip hop. I'm not putting
on a weird accent. And that'swhat Little Dickie is. Another one,
Little Dickie doesn't pretend to be black, you know, he doesn't. He
(34:37):
doesn't know. So it's like Ican respect, I can respect those guys
who do that and who are themselves. I do not respect anybody who's gonna
put on a fucking fake accent.That's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It drives
me crazy and and I honestly thinkthe people that just let it rock making
me angrier than the people that actuallydo it. Yeah, because I'm like,
(34:58):
you know, she don't sound likethat, but y'all just say,
like, oh, she'll like Ilike her music. It's like, well,
first of all, it's not verygood. Second of all, y'all
just letting these people just it shouldn'tbe about race. It's like, but
like it kind of is, yeah, because they're like making like I'm not
gonna say they're making fun of it, but it almost seems like that's what
it is. It's exploited. It'slike I'm gonna put I'm gonna put this
(35:20):
voice on and I'm gonna sound likea black person because that's what they want
to hear. You know. Itsounds like comedy. Like the white people
on Comic View like what's his name? I'm not a big fan of his,
but also he's what's the white thatwhite comedian he was married to a
black gar Yeah, he's the he'sthe one crossover white comics from right like
(35:42):
he was in all the Black Shipat for one part. But he didn't
pretend to be black. He justlike a black culture apparently, right,
So you know, I don't know. Like that new kid Matt Rife,
the one that the Tiara likes becausehe's a he works out of that white
boy, he's actually kind of funny. I mean he's actually kind I was
(36:05):
surprised. I watched a couple ofhis clothes. I'm like, he's little
bit funny. Like he says,he's like he hangs around black folks.
Yeah, he's got a little bitof an accent that I'm like, yeah,
slow it down, but like relax, but like you can tell like
he's like he hangs around niggas andhe just happens to be funny. So
yeah, but like yourself, extrashit is just gross to me. Yeah,
(36:28):
I'm not I'm not a fan ofit. I don't give a fuck
if it's Travis Barker, I don'tgive a fuck of his Alabama Barker.
That's a terrible name. Was thather name was that her stage? That's
her, that's her name's Alabama Barker. That's what he named his child.
I mean, look, apparently wename my children Mtrius with a T so
(36:50):
I guess I can't talk, butyeah, yeah, there you go.
But like I don't, I don'tcare who like who you are. Stop
stop pretending to be us. It'sannoying, Like, just just stop.
You can look, Travis Barker hasall the fucking tattoos any money could ever
want. And he's a very richand I'm sure very I'm sure he's a
(37:16):
very nice guy. I don't know, don't give a fuck. How about
teaching your daughter how not to bea fucking culture vulture, because this is
a culture vulture, that's what itis. Because you are literally pretending to
be a part of this culture thatyou are not a part of. You're
not You're you're literally using your dad, dad's money and cloud to buy your
(37:37):
way in what an incredibly lame whitegirl thing to do. And I don't
care that you're seventeen. Don't bringme some oh Jesus a kid. Yeah,
well, her parents should have taughther about her maybe instead of getting
the nineteenth tattoo, you could havetaught your daughter about how not to appropriate
a culture like some kind of fuckingheat. And I always hated blink one
(38:00):
eighty two. I think their musicfucking stinks. This is a personal assign
for me, not a fing.But like you don't see but you don't
see like black artists who do rockmusic, you don't see them putting on
a fake fucking accent. They don'tjust play your music, though, Just
play your music, like the shipis annoying. Like Zach Dale Lear rocha
(38:24):
not a white guy. He doesn'tbe like, hey, how can I
sound like a white guy to breakinto this whole rock and roll thing?
Like he doesn't. He's just somefucking stuff. Just play your music.
If you're good, you'll get in. You'll get pulled into the culture because
of your quality of your work.Whatever you think. Eminem Now he was
respected at least apparently there's like abig bad clash about him. Now I
(38:46):
don't know or give a fuck,But like for a long time when he
figured came out, he was respectedbecause he was just a good artist.
That was it. Like he overcomecame just being a white because he was
a good artist. Like people werelike, all right, like whatever you
say, the dude can rent.Like he didn't have to put on a
fake accent. I remember when Ifirst heard him, it was like nineteen
(39:09):
ninety six and ninety seven. Ididn't even know what his name was.
I heard him on a radio andI'm like, I thought it was black.
He had a weird delivery. I'mlike, what the fuck? This
is really odd. It was himand Royster five nine. Also, it
was on a song together, andI'm like, I don't know either one
of these niggas, but they're dope. And then I saw him like a
couple of years later, I'm like, Oh, that's that dude I heard
(39:30):
on the radio like three years ago. What the fuck? Oh wow?
Okay, Eminem, what's happening.Marshall Mathers, Yeah, that's about that's
the whitest name you can possibly have. Well, Robin winkles pretty bad.
(39:58):
Stop stop stop sucking U trying tobus it's annoying. It just like you
don't have to get you don't getpulled over by the cops. Yeah,
I don't think. I don't thinkOld Alabama is going to have to deal
with what it's like to be anigga in America. Like I gotta find
(40:19):
that video of that Asian ship.It's fucking just yeah, Okay, all
