One Of These Black Actors Has To Go And All Of His Work

[Red Shield]

Eddie has the GOAT comedic movie resume if you cut him off at the first Nutty Professor. He got almost a dozen classic movies and two classic standups on his resume.

Denzel and Sam are GOAT tier actors and can compete with anybody in history with their resumes.

Will may not be the best actor but Fresh Prince was amazing and he has a couple of great movies that he was the lead in that I'd rather not see go

I was going to quickly say Larry, but between Boyz in the Hood, What's Love Got To Do With It, the Matrix trilogy, he's solid as hell. Not to mention everybody sleeps on him being in Blackish too, which rebooted this "good black tv revolution" we're seeing.

Freeman has to and that's no shade to him. He's an excellent actor but he only
really has Shawshank (one of my favorites), Bruce/Evan Almighty and Lean on Me. I can throw Driving Miss Daisy in the bushes.

Cut Eddie off at Life. But yeah pretty much all of this.

You're absolutely right. For some reason I thought Life came out before Nutty Professor.

Morgan freeman. He's good, but i can't remember him in any particular roles that were for the culture


Edit: I forgot "lean on me" but that was never a movie i loved so

 

[JRGOAT88]

Accidentally voted Eddie but meant to vote Will Smith. Ali was good but the rest of his work is meh to me.

All these people voting for Morgan Freeman do realize that if he goes, then so does

1. Glory
2. Lean On Me
3. Unforgiven
4. The Shawshank Redemption
5. Se7en
6. The Dark Knight

If you're a true movie buff, you can't sacrifice Morgan Freeman.

Like I said, it's between Will and Lawrence.

Also, fukk Driving Miss Daisy. Never seen it and don't want to, but the Coli acting like that is the sum total of Freeman's contribution....

 

[Wargames]

Morgan Freeman see you breh!

Driving Miss Daisy alone got him

But I am not going to front Shawshank Redemption is god tier


shyt I got to go with Will

Lawrence is the Matrix

And King of New York

 

[FrederickDouglas]

I almost voted for Will just off the strength of Wild Wild West and Six Degrees of Separation.

Gotta go with Morgan

 

[Jello Biafra]

Will Smith gets the boot. I'll miss the first Bad Boys and Suicide Squad but I could give a fukk about the rest of Will's filmography when compared to the other actors on that list.

Morgan has Shawshank, Unforgiven, Seven, Lean On Me
Denzel has Malcolm X, Training Day, A Soldiers Story, Glory etc.
Eddie has Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours, Coming To America
Laurence has Whats Love Got To Do With It, The Matrix, Boyz in The Hood, KIng of New York, Deep Cover, School Daze
And Sam is fukking Samuel L. Jackson!

The fact that Morgan Freeman is winning this poll is just

How is Will Smith even on here with these legends

 

[Danie84]

ALL of their material goes. Including TV shows. Fresh Prince puts Will in a safe spacce

 

[RTF]

All of their work = everything involving acting/recording for film.

That includes Eddie's standups - he's safe off that alone before what is actually an under-rated movie career. Up until 97/98 - Eddie Murphy had a great ratio of good to brilliant product. Then he went straight trash.. unbelievable trash... still doing unbelievable trash. He's basically Tiger Woods. He a legend regardless and an all-time GOAT and while he's at an age you would hope he would still be putting out classic material - in reality every new performance slightly diminishes the legacy.

I was born in 1990 baby so I would have James Avery/Uncle Phil over Morgan. Only Morgan film I love is Shawshank but Bel-Air was for the culture. Will has Morgan beat with that alone.

Maybe alot of you younger brehs weren't aware of this but Morgan Freeman was on that #HOH campaign in the somewhat obscure 80s movie Street Smart with Christopher Reeve. He played a pimp Yeah, I know...not the epitome of proper black representation but he wasn't always foot-shufflin through roles...

Here's a sample of his savagery in it:
