[GoldenGlove]

so?


i honestly wanna know why yall so upset you @GoldenGlove and @Vonte3000

chance is an amazing rapper. his features were paid for long before he ever got discovered. he also was a terrible rapper back then. he's actually a great rapper now so who cares?

I just don't like when people just say bullshyt on messageboards without facts.

Oh an artist paid for features? So? Is that not how it usually works? He had connections cause his pops knew people, he used his pops to get in the door. Now if that's what a "plant" is, then ok, but how is that equal to him being a fraud?

I just don't get it, and honestly, the whole "industry plant" shyt that you tinfoil hat wearin' nikkas love to spew on here is lame af.

I really enjoyed Chi-Raq. By NO means did I feel like it demeaned black women nor do I feel as if he was making a mockery of Chicago's state of black on black on violence.


Anybody who has EVER seen a Spike Lee Joint knows that you are NOT in for a straight up narrative (I.e Boyz In The Hood) And that Spike tends to drive his points home using precise dialogue and imagery. He CERTAINLY didn't make this movie to cater to Cacs and he didn't blame black people exclusively. He used Angella Basset and John Cusak and the film's Moral Mouth Pieces, who spoke on how the absence of black fathers, unfair and prejudice employment practices, under-regulated gun laws, and an overall sense of hopelessness at the systematic oppression of our race has all made a lethal cocktail that poisons the black community. He used Wesley Snipes and Nick Cannon as metaphors of the symptoms demonstrated by this poisoning. Young Black Men who simply CANNOT see a future for themselves beyond Violence and death. He used Jennifer Hudson as a metaphor for the sadness that becomes the disease of the poisoning. Her daughters murder represents what will be ultimately lost in the black community, Life. And finally he used Teyonah Parish as the Heroine. The Woman who uses her Mind, Body, And Soul to fight against this systematic oppression, utilizing her intellect and determination to stand up against the doubts, fears, and retaliation of not only the System, but her own people. This movie is actually a fantastic representation of what The Black Woman can accomplish, and how the Black Woman is ultimately the PILLAR of the black community, even when Chiraq confesses that he was the one who killed the child, Lysistra REFUSES to rebuke or give up on him. She calls him by his NAME and remarks that he is finally taking the steps to becoming a man..

Dawg, shyt was garbage. I'm all for different/abstract story telling, but Chi-Raq was corny and it was not good. Acting wasn't good, the rhyming dialog was a joke, the movie just wasn't good.

Then the climax or whatever you want to call it was horrible. Waste of my time.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Only enjoyed Teyonah Parris fine ass

 

[Raheem95]

Chance The Rapper hopefully can come out with a diss song to Spike Lee

 

[NoHalfWay]

Spike Lee is Chance's uncle?

 

[Cladyclad]

“It was an oversimplification of a bigger problem,” Chance The Rapper continued regarding Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq. “He wasn't really focusing on the issues of Chicago, it wasn't really about Chicago. To me, it was about this age-old conversation of black-on-black violence, which is to me some Bill Cosby ‘pull up your pants’ stuff. I’m just not for it.”

hey spike how them knicks doin

 

[thatrapsfan]

"You don't do any work with the children of Chicago, You don't live here, you've never watched someone die here. Don't tell me to be calm"

Sounds like Chance was frauding it up right there brehs
