The Official "Empire" Thread (New Show on Fox by Lee Daniels starring Terrance Howard)

[Premeditated]

Yo straight up he has to be the worst actor on the show. And as a character he really thinks Kendrick is going to shake in his boots from drip drop

nah, he may not be a good actor outside this show, but he definitely plays this character well. Dude is the personification of these corny new age fukkboi swag rappers. I think he plays it to the t.

He reminds me of that Kid Ink fakkit.

Yo....I'm pretty sure that lesbo chick is dyke-ing down Raven Simone's new black ass.

saw a vid with professor griff talking about this, says its just reinforces stereotypes and pushes the gay agenda.I can see why such a show would score highly in ratings but why are heads in the film room on this filth

nikkas love being buzz kills. This show ain't gonna turn anyone gay

The oldest son is more in the mold of his pops: Dirtbag, schemer, "behind the scenes".

which is why he's perfect to run a media and ent corporation

Do you guys think this operates as a satire/parody on any level?

I was talking with some people and I've seen it said on a few other websites that people are legitimately reading it as a satire and a commentary on rap and the music industry.

I guess I can see that? But I never engaged it as such, just for the fukkery. But if it is a stone cold satire it was operating on a level that I couldn't really pick up

It has to be at this point. I mean the levels of fukkery are too high on this show. It can't be unintentional imo

To a degree yeah. All soaps are parodies in one way or another and this definitely satirizes the rap industry. Doesn't mean it's all insightful satire but it's still there

Yeah, exactly. I think I look for something a bit more substantial with satire. Or I think satire holds a specific purpose. Empire ventures into parody for me, and even sometimes mild surrealism.

Yeah I think it points out the hypocrisy of hip hop and even of the black community at times but it's mostly just a soap opera like Dallas or scandal or general hospital. It's no new revlelation that there are gay artists who hide it. Or that moguls are a$$holes and that artists get in relationships for their careers. But it's entertaining as hell

Yo, that is her. I remember a breh called her Jack from Mass Effect 2

Is this show worse than The Haves and the Have Nots?
