Then it's actually the equivalent of Jay-Z and Nas making music that sounds like Drake this late in their legendary careers. Spike needs to hang it up. Made a Tyler Perry movie dressed as a Spike Lee Joint :camby:
Show me the first Tyler Perry kidnapping movie he made??....

A lot of people are comparing the quality of this movie to a Tyler Perry movie not just me. But, not even Tyler Perry would make this boring ass kidnapping movie. If he did, it would be way more entertaining. There'd be a plot twist that Jeff Wright is Asap's dad who's tryna get revenge on Denzel for doing him dirty with the label not signing Asap. And Denzel's wife would be revealed to be Asap's mom.

If Tyler Perry made this movie it would have been better imo. fukkery would have been on 100,000 which would have made it way more entertaining.

Say what you want about Tyler Perry but his movies have a clear story, climax and ending. Spike had no idea how to end this flick, I would have thrown popcorn at the screen but I didn't wanna embarrass the company I was with.

Nice way of ducking my question.
:mjlol:I don't watch Tyler Perry movies like that breh. Seen maybe one or two because my baby Taraji was in it. I couldnt answer that question.

:ufdup:And you obviously didnt watch the video posted on the last page were people are comparing it to a Tyler Perry movie.

You basically begged me to neg rep you........

Of course Highest 2 Lowest isn't one of Spike Lee's best movies, but for damn sure this movie didn't perpetuate non-truthful stereotypical black women struggle stereotypes like Tyler Perry movies do.

Comparing Tyler Perry to Spike Lee is like comparing Josh Smith to Michael Jordan. Sure they both can dump but the other is head and shoulders against his comparison.
I just watched a movie where I heard Denzel Washington say nikka more times than every movie he’s been in, combined, since Training Day, and it added nothing to the character and story

i just saw a movie where a 70 year old black man beat he shyt out of someone that’s half his age.

I just saw a movie where a young black man named Young Felon felt his only option was to steal $17.6 million from a wealthy man.

i saw a movie where a teenager had Kamala Harris on his wall.

I don’t think Spike Lee knows how to depict women on his films and I definitely don’t think he likes lower-class people because they were either criminals or former criminals who type “on the lo lo.”

This movie had an out of place and weird music video at the end.


But when I said this was made a Tyler Perry movie, I meant more for the weird pacing, unserious tone, bad acting, plot holes, logical fails and a lot of other poor filmmaking choices. It was done for snooty blacks, but with the same stereotypes dm for snooty negroes.

Denzel's character isn't 70 in the movie.....

I think any young black teenager that's a progressive thinker would have a open-minded political figure posted up in their room.

I think you are forgetting there are some rappers with dumb names such as Young Thug, Lil dikky, 21 Savage ect.

In general terms, I see nothing wrong with someone thats poor stealing from the rich.

Are you a cracka?? Are you seriously complaining about a black man saying the nygga in a black movie?

.......And I just read and responded to a post of someone complaining about the wind blowing by.

Denzel is 70 years old and looked and moved like it. FOH :camby:

There is no teenager on God’s Earth that would have a Kamala Harris poster in his room, unless it was against their will. And lol at calling her progressive.

Def not white, but you are the snooty negro Spike is targeting, on the lo lo.

Speaking of Spike and Tyler Perry, this popped up on my algorithms :jbhmm:


Did some digging and found this vid on it:
Clifton Powell sorta explains the issue. Says Spike apologized to Tyler Perry for the comments.
As far as Powell's beef with Spike - Said Spike didnt pay ppl right and "kept ppl waiting". Says maybe Spike changed, but I guess not since he still talking about his beef with spike today.

"I'm never going to accept a black man doing to us what the man has been doing to us the last 7 thousand years" and he said he still stands by it.

Before you reply, Biden, Trump and Kamala can kiss my ass.

I don’t care about Kamala Harris. She was not a transformative figure in any way other than she is the analogy of lipstick on a pig.

a teenager ain’t putting that on their wall

I dont like Obama, but that makes more sense than her.
