her role wasnt important enough to get her anything. tyrese and ving had the most important roles that gave them opportunities to show acting chops and connect with the audience. her better shot was hustle & flow


Exactly,her acting was Tubi quality in Baby Boy. So her expecting to get a blockbuster off that is crazy:mjlol:


Hustle and Flow is the movie that really made her who she is. And that role was smaller than her role in Baby Boy. So it's crazy how things work sometimes. She must have just been fukked over money wise I'm assuming. Because she's had a great career from my point of view.

Even for years after Baby Boy was made, she was "Ol' Girl from such and such" to me.

I had her in the same category of women like:

These are habitual side actresses. Taraji has done way more tbh lol

She should have fired her whole management team period years ago

I saw her crying on stage during the color purple shyt

And she was talking about how if she get a certain amount of money say 1 million, she still has to pay taxes, management, advisors and her team in her circle and she says the money is almost gone after that..

At this point 25 years in the game u needed to fire your whole team years ago and find the right person to fight for a good pay

She’s 55 and think she deserves that Michael Jordan treatment

U see how Michael was underpaid for the bulls all those years getting 3 million a year and then in his final few years he got that 30 million a year for 2 years..

Taraji wants that.. but like i said she’s not getting that deal, because MJ was box office , she’s not

Get your independent film thing going on or get into directing and producing and u can set the way u want.. u been in the industry for over 25 years

a black person expressing frustration with their career got yall unanimously dismissive like this?

is this not common for black people in..... ANY AND EVERY FIELD!? one of the angriest people I've known in my life was a high level neurologist. From the outside lookin in, hey he's a Dr he got it made... but he was livin that shyt, not no one else

with all the "black" success thats performed on here one would expect a broader range of dialogue on such a topic. this shyt standard

Dallas, Texas but living in Houston, Texas
Shes always complaining. She was on two hit tv shows. Nominated for an Oscar. Had lead roles in widespread movies. Nothing is ever good enough. Tyrese was a star singer! Of course he'd get cast more than you then

Tyrese's acting career cant compare hers.
This. She acting like she didn't do anything after Baby Boy!:gucci: She's had a solid, respectable career.

The Coli is hilarious.

If i looked at some of these comments and didn't know where I was id think this was a conservative topics sub reddit.

- Why is she always complaining?
(Even though she's sees people with less talent doing better)
- She has a good career!
(Despite never getting a $1M+ check for a role, which Tyrese has done 8 times)
- You gotta network!
(even tho Tyrese has shown he's batshxt multiple times)
- She's entitled.
(even tho she never said what she deserves, has taken some sub par roles , and was only pointing out the lack of equality of opportunity)
- Go independent and self fund your films to get going that way.
(if someone can show me a black actor that worked out for at Taraji's level I'll be quiet)

One thing you are overlooking by comparing this to a conservative topics reddit.
Is the fact that she had to act like a black man was undeserving of his success in order to comment on where she feels she should be career wise.
All the same struggles she is having, black male actors have as well. Its her white counter parts that have it easy and are generally overpaid. Not Tyrese.
No need to drag other black people down to make your point. The comparison to his career was unnecessary and its really the entirety of the reason why the responses are the way they are. Had she compared herself to Blake Lively instead, the entire narrative would be different.
