Reps are back. But I can't go thru this thread again 
It's a straight up soap opera. I guess that explains the cheesy transition music
even soaps had build ups. The last 2 hours of empire had no build ups whatsoever.
yeah he says he hated every moment of it but watched every episode. He started doing recaps on Wednesday on the Lebatard radio show when he's on...I didn't know Bomani Live-tweeted "Empire".
Me too. She was looking real nice. Oh btw....Rita Ora.
I been sleeping in this chick.
Charles Hamilton did his thing with that song too.

Bingo,,, That's the biggest problem with ityall know what really chits my grits concerning this show?
the lack of authenticity. not just the horrible way that they portray hip-hop. and im not even gonna mention the bait-n-switch where you watch the show and its really an r&b series.
what i cant stand the most is the horrible time-stamps on the flashbacks. when they flashback to different time periods, the settings are all over the place. like when they went back to the early '00s when andre had his 1st breakdown, and it looked like the early '90s instead.
i brought this up to my pops and he kinda brushed it off as just TV. but when he saw that episode the other day where they flashed back to the '90s, and he saw lucious wearing some chit that he rocked in the '70s, he was highly critical.then when i called him out on his hypocrisy, he still wouldnt double-back and give me my reparations. SMH.
with that said, i can enjoy this show as a primtime soap opera. its pushing for goat status. BUT this should never ever be mentioned as a great hip-hop series. you can tell this show is the mastermind of a faq and some middle-aged white men.

worse part of it all was when they started reppin philly.
thats what really pissed me off to the highest level of pissivity.
nicca walking around with a process in his hair..
when he finds out its hakeems and hakeem been fukkin on everybody
it would be goat if the dad turns out to be the old white man in the wheelchair.
you say you agree with my pops, but he turned around and contradicted himself a couple days later when he saw '90s lucious rockin some chit from picture day '68.
and it is a problem. one of the main ingredients to a good urban show/movie is authenticity. thats pretty much the main requirement actually. i give empire a pass since its just a soap but i dont like the new standard that its potentially setting.
its like we're losing our culture. whats left of it at least.
jamal is NOT steve urkel..
horrible comparison.

yea, they had a roundtable special on fox like a month ago.
taraji, terrence & the writers/producers. i think she was the white chick on there. and the rest of the table was 2 middle-aged white men, lee daniels and some older black dude with gray dreads or something.
funny thing is, i hink they lean on lee daniels & the old guy for the "authenticity". that would explain why the settings are so bizarre. lol.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Lee Daniels is NOT the showrunner or Head Writer. Lee Daniels only co-wrote the pilot & directed the first 2 episodes.
