So Empire blowing up

[Wacky D]

so yall gonna stop putting that fair-skinned broad on a pedestal just because of her skin-tone? are yall gonna do that now?

i bet dude aint coming back in this thread.

and wheres all the arm-chair revolutionists? what do yall have to say about that white singer? why isnt the white community in an uproar?

 

[Blackout]

Still annoyed that they made the best son on this show gay.

 

[Wacky D]

lucious up there looking like the proudest grandparent of a b*stard child ever.

i'd hate to find out that kid isnt jamal's. they prolly made her that dark for a reason.

 

[cheech]

really wish this show wasn't terrible

edit: yet, i watch lol

 

[director_of_bands]

gawd dam the black community is infested with fakkitry...its over...we doomed...im cutting cable

 

[director_of_bands]

and why in EVERY reality show the black female gotta have some fakkit best friend that gives advice? notice these the type of females that cant stay in a stable relationship....these shows is doing nothing but teacing young black women how to be bisexual thots with a gay black dude as the "best friend" ....I see what they doing

funniest thing about this thread is how people in here write this show off as cooonery, then turn around and prop up Power in the same dam post.

It's because Empire has a prominent gay character and Power doesn't. That's literally the ONLY reason why people here have a problem with it but instead of being real with themselves and admitting it they're throwing in all this extra bullshyt about negative black stereotypes as if they don't listen to hip hop or loved shows with similar subject matter.

This is coming from someone who watched the first ep and wasn't impressed by it. Idk, I may give it another shot and watch a few more but I just thought the show was corny. But I based that on the writing and over the top nature, not the so-called stereotypes. Shyt, I consider the Wire the greatest show of all time but according to these nyggas' standards that was a c00nfest too(prominent gay black character, black men being thugs, few positive images of black men, lesbian black female character, etc)

prolly because in reality, alot of females period have a fakkit in their crew.

i see the same thing whenever i skim past white reality shows. its not a big deal. and 90% of reality tv is geared towards broads anyway.

one of my biggest gripes with the show was that its overproduced. shyt it was too over the top and unrealistic

yeah well think it's a big deal...a lot of dude's need to really check their women for running around with fakkits spitting "advice" in their ear

true.

but thats besides the point.

i had my gripes with this when watching the previews.

but once i gave the show a chance, i realized that its a primetime soap opera. with that said, i like the show for what it is.

nah. the reason why these dudes criticize the show is because theres a bandwagon going on, and some of the people who make videos that they watch on youtube have criticized it. they follow behind them without even thinking.

jamal is NOT a prominent character. hes in the suporting cast breh. thats how i know most of the people complaining about the gay stuff, dont even watch the show.

and the gay scenes that they do have are simple PG stuff and cancelled out once we get the scenes of lucious chittin on jamal - which makes it all worth it.

and yea, ive seen way worse on the wire. all the way down to the gay stuff.

 

[Wacky D]

slip a mickey to a recovering drug addict, and still be praised on the coli as a delicate flower brehs.

just because your skin is of the lighter variety and youre not outspoken.

 

[Apex]

The concept of this show sounds dope. I'm gonna check it out.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Gay people and women watch TV. You will not find a popular basic cable show, a MUSICAL a that, that aint targetting gays and women in 2015
