No he didnt jack shyt. The casting director chose people she knew and was cool with. Based on the video, she can put together a damn good cast

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

“You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song”

Maybe the concept of black college life being on tv started with Spike, but can’t say it was stolen.

but I think spike reaching

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Spike was joking around.

If you watch any urban action film from the mid 90s, you are going to see a lot of people who guest starred or appeared on New York Undercover. It's called the same pool of actors auditioning for projects at the same time.


I fukk with Comedy Hype when they do interviews, but their other videos are based around the same "manufactured controversies" as the OP video. All based on social media he said/she said.
Maybe because of age, I can't relate to it. It's a different world than where I come from. hehehe

A different world dropped in 87 school daze 88

anyway who cares, both was good

 

[Kid Dynamite]

Yeah I don't know if Spike was serious cause I've heard him mention that he wished he'd turned School Daze into a TV series after seeing A Different World

 

[Ziggiy]

Love the hell outta Spike but he’s off his rocker with this one.

Besides being a slice of life in an HBCU setting School Daze is extremely different from DW
