BMF will get three different spinoffs wtf?

[Waka FICO Flamez]

50 did the same with power. His music ain't it no more, nobody drinks his liquor. He riding the waves if these shows. And he will pimp them out till the milk is dry cause he know he got nothing else going on outside of that.

 

[thaKEAF]

this nikka Curtis gonna milk it dry

 

[Jazzy B.]

Stuff like The Spook Who Sat by the Door would be so much more interesting to see adapted to the TV

They are making this show.

It's being made by... Lee Daniels



The same man who said he wants white people "to feel good about being white"

This is EXACTLY what I mean when I said only Non-normal black people are allowed to make non crime black tv shows @OperationNumbNutts

 

[Concerned Citizen]

The fam and I threw black crime shows in the bushes just like we did slave movies. Not fukking with them at all from the poor quality to the critically acclaimed ones. That shyt is straight up brainwashing on the continuous level that they try to feed it to us.

What artists at his age other than Nas still makes good music to the masses?

I get what you are saying but even mentioning his music ain’t popular no more is unnecessary. Dude is telling the same stories he was telling through music on his tv shows. And makes way more money doing it. Why would he or anyone care about music at this point?

And yes he is going to milk this until the well runs dry and not because he has no other choice but because it’s working. Why can’t that be a good enough reason?

Jay still makes good music for example. Em still sells (don't like his music). There are others. But 50 musical run was over way before other artist of similar age and caliber. He had like a 5 year run. He can run this into the ground if he chooses, but I think he doesn't have much going for him in Hollywood and stardom except for this so he his latching on to it as his cash cow. He did it with Power and I'm just not a fan of this universe spin he is doing to a series. Just my thoughts

Meanwhile Devotion flopped. But motherfukkers wanna holler about drill music and bytches shaking they ass just to turn around and watch tv about parasites getting all the limelight. At this point just let people consume the bullshyt. They never cared about the image of black people especially men. fakkits just wanted to hear themselves talk cause they had a “idea” for the first time in they life. Makes me fukking sick the way this country valorizes criminality at the expense of the real life communities that have been ravashed and never fukking recovered. If you watch or support this shyt you’re a fukking c00n. Period.

Not sure what point you’re making here. Isn’t it likely that the people consuming shows like BMF are the same people consuming drill music and less likely the people bashing drill music?

Like Black Panther?

Because Coogler had virtually total control over it and still ruined it by undermining Black men and promoting Black women at their expense along with Black weakness.



The ratings for that show were fine. But cacs just decided to cancel it. Just like they did Watchmen and Lovecraft Country.

Because Black people being superheroes or wielding magic and able to conquer cacs is not getting supported on cac networks.

Meanwhile Euphoria which prominently features a Black girl who's strung out gets repeatedly renewed.

And she gets showered with awards because cacs want that garbage. I doubt that she understands the real reason why or cares.

Because she probably naively thinks that she's being celebrated because she's talented and not because she's furthering what cacs want portrayed about Black people.

Just like with Quinta and Donald Glover. Anytime you push Black dysfunction and the mockery of Black culture you'll get promoted and showered with awards by cacs.

No, more like shows like , "the man who fell to earth" and movies like ,"tenet"

You got a link to devotion? I couldn’t find that shyt anywhere to stream

 

[Ahadi]

Never cared for him or the Boondocks. Look I personally don’t care for ratchet shyt or culture, however I don’t like the idea of a dude who never grew up in those environments mocking them that actually do. That shyt ain’t cool. Yes theres room for criticism, but when that criticism is basically “lol nikkas amirite?” then you lost me.

Ninjas hate everything

 

[Ahadi]

Let’s be honest though, a lot of brehs aren’t rushing to their tvs and supporting new black shows with an open mind in comparison to black women and alphabet gang. Which is why you have so many “brehs” on here talking about

“WHO!?”

“Why should I watch that?”

“Gen Z shyt”

Which is a larger problem. The tv spend won’t focus on us because brehs are too busy “ignoring” and scared to share their opinions on larger outlets.

A lot of brehs on here are comfortable in their little bubble. I know some of you are 40+ and shyt, but atleast leave a TV on in the other room and assist with the ratings of a black show (with a positive black male image)

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

I don't think that what @Jazzy B. was saying if anything what he was saying is what this news article is talking about but in a more political correct way the whole of it is a really good read that you should check out when you have the time to read it here is some of the parts to it .

Who Actually Gets to Create Black Pop Culture?

A closer look at the economics of Black pop culture reveals that most Black creators (outside music) come from middle-to-upper middle class backgrounds, while the Black poor are written about but rarely get the chance to speak for themselves.

www.currentaffairs.org

That was a difficult article to read because it's not how you presented it. Also black culture on mainstream TV and usually followed one formula. Blacks created content and non-black finance it. Of course those financing it will put their finger into. As for the twitter posts is part of the problem. The whole notion of having to fit a certain mold to be black is flat out dumb. What makes it worse is when black folks support and encourage the idea of giving back to the community. Then, later criticizing folks trying to help signifying they don't have the same experience or not black enough understand how to help. You don't see the contradiction we place on ourselves?

I see where you are going but ask you don't look at it glass half full. Folks like him are able to make movies cause of funding. Those who fund movies dictate what the audience will see and the quality of it.

I don’t even watch this weak as shyt but you sound silly. Just another holier than thou as nikka trying to give everyone else rules to live by. Y’all nikkas be doing too much

His music run ended sooner than expected because he was obsessed with doing the same shyt over and people got bored. I get that.

And no I don’t care about anymore gangster shows myself but unlike in hip hop people don’t want change. They like watching the same shyt with different actors. So he isn’t latching on to this he realizes there is a demo that wants this so he is going to keep giving it to them. He is also featured in b movies and will be in expendables 86 so he will always have other opportunities. Also the show he did about the lawyer that got himself out of jail was positive and it was good. But they canceled it
