You nikkas are so judgmental. He was asked a direct question of how some of these movies get greenlit and get past the execs. He responded with his answer explaining that Hollywood has two agendas which are propaganda and profit, and movie green lights are influenced by both. Ice Cube can rap about what the fukk he wants to rap about. Yall nikkas be having the most nerve

And Hollywood can make movies about what the fukk they want to as well.

You can't argue an industry is driven by propaganda and profit as a 54 year old doing gangsta rap. When he himself is driven by the same shyt. There's a reason he hasn't changed his content since the 80's.

But Cube is a sellout himself

Went back to gangsta rap bullshyt because he knew he could make more money off that.

New Hollywood sucks, many of new movies are just copycats of old films with a lil twist of their own.

The great thing about cinema is that you can watch all of the old films you haven't seen yet and not worry about whatever trash is out nowadays.

Doesn't even have to be Hollywood, like you can go find John Woo's Hong Kong films from 80s/90s. Those are insane movies. And so on and so on. New cinema is mostly old recycled ideas.

:francis: This is why I have been just watching garbage pail trash cult movies. Sometimes, folks just want to tap out of the typical:

  • LGBQBOYZIIMENABCBBD bullshyt
  • Marvel nonsense
  • Shoehorning every fukking thing with a different color but keep black men without any sort of nuts
  • stereotypical illusions
  • Political babble
There was a time when cinema was cinema.

Also the irony of Ice Cube complaining about Hollyweird, but he was the same goofy that didn't have a problem with shortchanging black folks to make the Friday trilogy.

That's always been the case.

Y'all really think it was a coincidence that damn year all bad guys in the 80s and 90s were Russians and Arabs lmao of course Hollywood has always been driven by profit and propaganda. Wasn't Birth of a Nation the first blockbuster?
And russians with arabs portray the west as evil in their media/entertainment. All it takes is reading a history book how soviets portrayed western civilization as evil minded while sending thousands of soviet citizens to gulag in siberia to freeze to death. is what it is.

It's already bad in todays cinema that chinese can no longer be portrayed as villains, because they are that deep in Hollywoods pockets. While in china they can all say whatever bad things they wanna say about America.

What is that supposed to mean? That if American entertainment was nicer to other countries, we'd have a worldwide peace? Entire world history is about who's at the top. World peace is an illusion, it never happened and never will unfortunately..
