CHIRAQ trailer (spike lee joint)

[Rapmastermind]

Spike responds to your critiques. Update OP

I can't believe people would think Spike Lee of all people would exploit Black people. SMDH.

I want to wait and see the movie first

Spike said it in the interview and I'll say it again.


If you think that muthafukking SPIKE LEE is going to just make light of the issues plaguing Chicago then you are either an idiot or you've NEVER seen a Spike Lee Joint. This is the man who made Do The Right Thing, School Daze, and Malcolm X. Let that man COOK and reserve judgement until you've seen the film

Can't wait, Spike is a cinematic genius. Also this isn't the first time Spike has touched on black violence in a major city:

"Chiraq" is basically coming out on the 20th anniversary of "Clockers" a film that deals with "Hood" Violence in the streets of Brooklyn. I think Satire is perfectly fine because jewels will be dropped all throughout. "Baboozled" bodied Hollywood historical racism problems and it was full satire. Also I love how Spike continues to make films that are unapologically Black. He's getting an Honorary Oscar this year and he has constantly sh!tted on the Academy for being racist. I can't wait for this movie, really good cast as well.

Spike will never top Clockers. Such a underrated classic.

They should play this clip at every other city's airport, train/bus station. You know to promote tourism to Chicago. lol

This dude just sounds like he wanted to have some shyt on the big screen tailor made to glorify them a$$holes that are shooting up the city on the regular.
Plus I highly doubt he has even a basic understanding of what satire is. If I was Spike I would go in and do some re-shoots, take out all mentions of Chicago and Chiraq, change the name to "Killadelphia" and keep it moving.

Idolatry in the black community is downright repulsive sometimes.

Like others, the approach he's taking to this topic is both intriguing, but offensive. While other cities have violence, chicago's has been on full display, especially because of how prevalent it's been with the drill rappers from there, I did want to see a more serious tone for this movie. But even through satire (and apparently comedy) I know spike is able to deliver a message. I think cannon being cast is also making me hesitate...where my boy Tristan wilds? I could see him in this. Anyway, I'll support because it has piqued my interest
