You say that, but look at all the famous black ppl in Hollywood. They can't put their friends on like that. They dont even have that power.
Will Smith can't put Carlton on in movies and he's hella talented and best friends. Even Kevin Hart can't put his crew in his comedy films. Jamie can't put his ppl in movies unless he's directing it. Denzel can't even put his son in his movies.
Plus Foxx is never home, so maybe Speedy living there is good to see after his house etc.
Hollywood is a cold game. Speedy isn't an in demand comedian anymore like he may have been when they first met. There's plenty of funny ppl out there who wind up homeless. Foxx could get speedy his own apartment but who's gonna pay the bills etc when he's not getting booked for shows?
Kevin HAS definetly fed his circle, one way or another. That's simply not true.
As far as the Hollywood white machine, I understand all that.
I was talking more about getting speedy a house and a working gig, not fame or anything major. Jammie did Finnese a radio station and put Speedy on, so again that theory is not true.
White man is the boogie man complex is just as dangerous as the uncle Tom "not all white peeplz is bad" complex. You gotta be able to finneese racist cracker systems even when it's stacked against you and your crew.
Spike Lee has HIS crew that he feeds, Kevin Hart has his crew that he feeds well, The Waynes Brothers have their blood crew, the Hughes Brothers had their crew, i just always found it weird that Speedy was staying at another man's house and not even able to finnese a relatively low level paying gig from his affiliations with Foxx...who eats off of Foxx? Besides baby mommas
Rickey Smiley was paying Claudia Jordan millioms of dollars during her lil radio stint in Atlanta. When Chris Rock was the biggest comic in the world his East Coast NY comic writiring crew included a not famous Louis CK, Tony Rock and a few others who were eating from writing gigs via the Chris Rock/Adam Sanndler gravy train.
Belive me breh, if someone wants to give you lick and break you bread, they will, regardless of how big, busy or racist Hollywood/Showbiz is.
Hell even Eddie Murphy had his crew (Arsenio Hall, the older Waynes Brother forgot his name and a few others)
