I don't understand his reason for calling him a fraud :what:

From my understanding the dude is not into the movie cause it's he thinks he's exploiting the violence when he hasn't done shyt to help and doesn't know anything about Chicago. So basically he's making money of it. And he doesn't think that it represents the streets in a respectful way.


Now he's a fraud? The fukk is he talking about.



This dude is from there, his family has dedicated their lives to be civil servants for the city and really he's a human being so he has the right to voice his opinion about the movie.
Spike is 50 years old and has been making movies for 30 years, yet he's attacking a negative review like a confused teenage rapper.

Cant take a n1cca seriously who uses the word "problematic" in a critique. Anytime I hear that social media BS I tune out. Spike is right about his pops :manny:

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..

“I mean, Spike Lee is saying that because he's promoting a movie,” Chance said during an interview with WGCI 107.5 regarding Spike Lee’s recent comments. “He's trying to make more money. He got his little $15 million from Amazon and his other little bread from Lionsgate and made a movie that was not about Chicago but manipulated and used Chicago actors and Chicago scenery to push this movie.

“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.”

In a series of Twitter posts published earlier this month, Chance The Rapper decried Chi-Raqand Spike Lee.

“Let me be the one from Chicago to personally tell you we not supporting this film out here,” Chance tweeted on December 4. “That shyt get ZERO love out here. shyt is goofy and it's a bunch of ppl from NOT around here telling u to support that shyt. The people that made that shyt didn't do so to ‘Save Lives.’ It's exploitive and problematic.”

:dahell:
Why does he have to answer for his father's profession? So everybody that works for Rahm Emmanuel is corrupt/crooked? You know how many people work for the "Mayor"

Spike and everybody acting like he has a point in this "diss" is REACHING.
