Jerrod Carmichael to write/produce Dapper Dan Biopic

[Bini Knight]

Influential hip-hop fashion icon Dapper Dan is getting the biopic treatment. According toThe Hollywood Reporter, comedian and producer Jerrod Carmichael has signed on to adapt the tailor’s upcoming memoir, which is scheduled to be released in 2019.

Daniel “Dapper Dan” Day rose to fame in the ‘80s when his Harlem boutique began outfitting many of the biggest hip-hop musicians of the era. His famous clientele included Jay Z, Salt-N-Pepa, P. Diddy, Jam Master Jay, and Mike Tyson. He was forced to shut down after luxury brands sued him for using their labels without permission in the early ‘90s, but he has recently experienced a resurgence — last September he became partners with Gucci to open a new Harlem atelier. Day and his son Jelani Day are set to executive produce the movie.

He's not funny and artists like him, who use our experience to humor white people, are a problem we need to address.

Maybe I misjudged dude, but Jerrod Carmichael seems like the type of nikka that never gave a fukk about Dapper Dan in his life.

His whole persona is "I'm a black person from the hood, but I'm nothing like those other black people from the hood"

He thinks because he wears some gr Jordans he's in tune

He's a tap dancing comedian for whitey. I know a guy just like him, a local dude who does open mic nights around here, at the type of bars frequented by predominantly white liberal crowds.. His entire act consists of riffs about blacks in the hood and all of his friends are white or non black minorities.

Jay Pharaoh needs to be forced to work retail or in a warehouse bc his unfunny ads wasted too many opportunities
