Two peas in the same garbage can.

Ray was a fine movie, but play an original character and then move an audience. Jamie Foxx is yet to do that. If people didn't know who Ray was Jamie wouldn't have ever hit that height of his career. Ray's legacy stood on its own two feet, Jamie's just had to be believable and not fukk it up. A tough task, but he delivered.

He's literally shyt in every other role. Unless they do Ray 2 or he reprises his role as Ray in someone else's biopic people are going to stop calling him great.

DG is exceptional too, but he still has a lot to prove, the problem is he is young enough to actually prove it.

I feel like Gambino is more versatile and has more universal appeal, Jamie is solid in everything he does, but his resume isnt as versatile as Gambinos

I give it to Donald Glover

Im always going to respect a creator over a pantomime.

One creates music, movies, and tv shows and maintains a majority black crew for all of it.

The other sings music someone else wrote, acts in movies someone else wrote, and hasnt written a joke in almost 20 years.

If we didnt mention names this wouldnt even be a contest based on value to our community.

I wouldn't even call myself a fan of Foxx

but Foxx has singular projects that shyt on Glover's whole life

Foxxhole radio run

Ray

Impersonating Ray on Gold Digger

Any one stand up set he's ever done is 100x better than Glovers stand up entire career as saying standup

What are they even talking about

Note: never seen Atlanta cause dudes wackiness turned me off well before that

I’ve always felt that Jamie was better suited for primetime tv then big movie productions. His movie roles always seem to miss the mark to me. His acting is reminiscent to Michael B. Jordan’s. Kind of felt the same way with his singing. It’s clear he has a good singing voice but when he crossed over to making his debut album I was left a bit disappointed.


Glover is just a bit more versatile. Not sure how he did in the Lion King but I feel like he takes his “art” a bit more serious.
