>“How the fuck they gonna put Roots on on Memorial Day? They gonna just keep beating that shit in our heads of how they did us, huh?” he says in a video on his Instagram account. “I don’t understand America. They just want to keep showing the abuse that we took hundreds and hundreds of years ago. But, guess what? We taking the same abuse.”
>“When you all going to make a motherfucking series about the success black folks is having? The only success we have is Roots and 12 Years a Slave and shit like that, huh? Fuck y’all.

This is decent to be honest.
It's better than the pandering the "we wuz kings" bullshit, and blackwashing existing franchises.
I.e. it's the right way of doing it, instead of what lazy Hollywood producers and SJWs insist on.

while I don't necessarily agree or disagree with anything he's saying, fuck Snoop Dogg, he has like a handful of good songs, the rest is eh
>>70260509
You know, all the source is against your statement, could just link almost any song he made to contradict you
>>70260208
He's saying if theyre gonna make movies about black persecution, it should be relevant to todays situation. Who the fuck is still around from slavery times? No one. It doesnt connect to anyone. It would be better to make a movie about drugs and sex ruining the black community and it should be made by blacks, not hollywood producers
>>70262607
Except the term abuse implies that blacks are still facing adversity as a result of their race, he's not at all saying that they're fucking one another over as you seem to be asserting.

you dont actually listen to snoop dogg do you dude.
He wrote "Dogg house"
>>70262859
Well being a rapist is different from being a slave, so those points aren't really at odds with one another.
>>70260208
He isn't wrong though.The crux of the issue is racism. All this coddling, tokenism and bullshit coming from the left is just as racist as the slavery days.
>>70266120
He's not all placing blame on leftist for racism
>>70266120
>is just as racist as the slavery days.
Gee I wasn't aware having a white guy cast a black dude in a film role to fill a quota was as racist as making any and all black dudes chattel due to the belief that blacks are inherently inferior.
>“When you all going to make a motherfucking series about the success black folks is having?
did he even consider how utterly stupid attempting to articulate a 'serious' point in such an asinine way makes him look?
>>70259833
>Snoop continued. “Fuck them television shows. Let’s create our own shit based on today, how we live, and how we inspire people today.”
I think he’s right, Blacks need to get away from constantly harping on the race angle (or just remaking White movies with Black casts) and make movies and tv shows about other subjects.
No reason why Blacks can’t do sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, etc. written by Black authors, with Black directors and Black casts that still appeals to other ethnicities.
Good art is good art, regardless of who made it.
The Black elites (and there are plenty of them with shit loads of money) need to get together to fund it and make it happen.
>>70260509
I thought Gucci made suits?
>>70259944
Its all they fucking talk about and the ones to bring it up the most. They remind everyone about it constantly .
To prove my point . Root reboot is being done by a black man. 12 years a slave directed and written by a black man. Shit i am sure a black man was behind the original roots.
>>70259944
It's almost as if black people make and enjoy those kinds of productions rather than a white person holding black directors and actors hostage and forcing them to make opression based films.
Do you not remember blacks bitching because no one went to go see Selma whereas American Sniper was doing exceptionally well?
>>70266257
>why you arresting me for? I only murdered 1 guy, that Hitler murdered millions!
He's right, essentially. Black people need to get away from the victim narrative.
lol well snoop. you have major influences on black people, you could literally walk into the ghetto and command them like an army. do your part to help raise those communities then.
>>70266495
A black guy only benefits from being cast in a role that would have otherwise gone to a white guy, black people were only harmed by slavery. It's not comparable
>>70266388
I feel the same way about women.
Both women and black people whine incessantly about white men not making movies about them instead of making them themselves. For fuck's sake, if a white young man wants a film made people yell at him, "go make it yourself! No one cares about your idea!" so the kid goes out and makes it himself.
Why in the fuck don't they do the same?
>>70266640
Snoop Dogg makes movies, just shit ones. There are actually a lot of black filmmakers, I'm not sure why /tv/ believes otherwise.
>>70266640
It's especially unnerving when you think about how low the requirements are these days to make a movie. Decent equipment is cheap and there are countless opportunities to get funding or cut corners, and actors will literally whore themselves out for exposition.
>>70266580
what bothers me about half these instances where people claim something is pandering is that it's just invoked as a buzzword and is very clearly a euphemism for "black people just make me uncomfortable."
When white characters get their race changed then there's valid space for complaint, but people who act as if a nonwhite character existing is in some capacity unfair in its own right are just the most insane.
>There are actually a lot of black filmmakers, I'm not sure why /tv/ believes otherwise.
So why aren't they making these stories instead of bitching about someone else not making them?
>>70266742
Because Spike Lee went insane and Twelve years a meme man was probably just building funds for other more innovative kino down the tube.
>>70266742
They are? The most common genre of film for black directors is actually romantic comedies or dramas. Snoop Dogg has a horror anthology film series.
They exist regardless of whether you watch them or not.
>>70266832
>Romantic comedies or dramas
I prefer to just pretend Tyler Perry isn't a real human being but an automaton programmed to produce low quality films.
>>70266855
Ok, but there are black directors outside of Tyler Perry who produce that style of film. They're all over Netflix.
Not to mention all the black television series that are written, directed and for the most part star black people. I'm not sure why so many people are under the impression blacks only make slave and civil rights movies.
I just want a movie adaptation of The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm in my lifetime desu
Snoops is based.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gU9qG5Dnb0
Wait.
Black people are tired of slave-shit too?
I thought they were the reason it was produced, why the fuck do we need a couple a year for then?!
>>70266832
So why are they bitching about "When you all going to make a motherfucking series" then?
I stand with Snoop!
>>70267252
Because blacks aren't a monolith with a single speaker of the house in the form of celebrities. They make films such as the Butler, Selma and the Help major successes and turn out for them, which is why they're made in the first place. Snoop Dogg just so happens to be tired of it.
>>70267287
>they
You mean why is this one particular guy bitching? I haven't the slightest clue
>>70266492
> It's almost as if black people make and enjoy those kinds of productions
I’m sure that plays a part in it but I’d also suggest that movies and tv shows continually focusing drug dealing ghetto niggers and oldy timey slaves is simply what Black consumers are given.
It’s not like any of us, regardless of ethnicity, have a say in what Hollywood produces, it’s a case of take it or leave it.
>>70267252
Those movies are for hipster white guilt betas
Most black people i know watch anime
>>70267346
Odd provided black movies outside of those genres as well as romance, actin and drama tend to not do well at the box office or go straight to DVD. It's almost as if blacks are capable of speaking with their wallets and manage to continuously do so.
>>70267394
>Odd provided black movies outside of those genres as well as romance, actin and drama tend to not do well at the box office or go straight to DVD.
There’s no denying that Black-Americans are only 13% of the overall population in the U.S. and if the movie or tv show is aimed exclusively at the Black market, it ain’t going to make a bazillion dollars even if every Black in the country buys a ticket.
What I’m saying (and I think Snoop Dog is also) is that the focus should be on making _good art_ instead of making specifically Black art that continually focuses on race relations.
No reason why Blacks can’t make the equivalent of a “Game of Thrones” fantasy tv series or a “Dune” type sci-fi movie that has nothing to do with race relations, but happens to have an all Black cast which White, Asian, Hispanic, etc. viewers can also enjoy.
Because as soon as the race bullshit rears it’s head, most of those those White, Asian, Hispanic, etc. viewers are just going to change the channel, as nobody likes being lectured about how they’re to blame for all the world’s ills.
>>70266521
>He's right, essentially. Black people need to get away from the victim narrative.
Jews never gave up the victim narrative and they're doing great.
>>70262859
There's nothing wrong with rape

>There’s no denying that Black-Americans are only 13% of the overall population in the U.S. and if the movie or tv show is aimed exclusively at the Black market, it ain’t going to make a bazillion dollars even if every Black in the country buys a ticket.
But black films with the historical slave narrative, comedies or the Tyler Perry style dramas make tons of money. The problem isn't that they're black, it's that they're black and have no interest whatsoever in the types of movies that you want them to make. Snoop Dogg isn't even suggesting anything to do with fantasy and thrillers, there is no market for it.
>Because as soon as the race bullshit rears it’s head, most of those those White, Asian, Hispanic, etc. viewers are just going to change the channel, as nobody likes being lectured about how they’re to blame for all the world’s ills.
Weird given how much money and critical acclaim 12 Years a Slave and The Help dragged in.
>What I’m saying (and I think Snoop Dog is also
And you are terribly misconstruing what is he is saying and have been doing so the entirety of the thread. Snoop Dogg isn't pushing your agenda with his statement, rather stating he wants black film to focus on successful blacks of today as opposed to marginalized blacks of the past.
>>70268841
> Snoop Dogg isn't pushing your agenda with his statement, rather stating he wants black film to focus on successful blacks of today as opposed to marginalized blacks of the past.
And you don’t do that by continually focusing on race relations.
You’ve probably seen the tv series “Luther”, (if not, you should) as was a pretty popular tv series and that was because it had a good story and good acting and despite the main character being Black, had nothing to do with race relations.
It was just good art.
>>70269353
>And you don’t do that by continually focusing on race relations.
You can actually do both, see Empire's (a more successful series than Luther) continuous nods to the Black Lives Matter movement. A show Snoop Dogg has starred in himself.
You understand he's not at all saying he doesn't want to see the discussion of race relations in media, right? He's just tired of slavery movies portraying downtrodden blacks.

Snoop Dogg Talks ‘Game of Thrones’: The Rapper on ‘Bad Bitch’ Khaleesi and Smoking with Tyrion
Believe it or not, the Doggfather is a huge fan of HBO’s Game of Thrones. The hip-hop legend discusses his favorite characters and who he’d want to smoke weed with on the show.
Snoop Dogg is a man of many interests.
The 43-year-old rapper formerly known as Calvin Broadus is a hip-hop legend who’s sold over 35 million albums worldwide, and released his 13th studio album, Bush, this month. He’s starred in films like Starsky & Hutch and Training Day, has directed several porn flicks, and is arguably the world’s foremost marijuana enthusiast who has his own line of weed and is rumored to smoke as many as 80 blunts a day
He is also a massive fan of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Snoop featured on the GoT-themed compilation album, Catch the Throne: The Mixtape, Vol. 2, alongside artists like Method Man and Anthrax, and famously recapped the show during a smoke session with Seth Rogen.
With the fifth season of Game of Thrones well underway, The Daily Beast reached out to the one and only Snoop Dogg to answer our Thrones questionnaire. Though it took several months to get the answers, the D-O-double-G finally came through. So without further ado…
cont.
why is snoop dogg still famous?
he can't rap
he's not funny
he always seems borderline autistic
>>70269486
1. What attracts you to Game of Thrones?
The story. The plot is just crazy. All these kingdoms fighting for one throne.
2. Do you have a favorite character on the show?
Tyrion. Cuz he likes to have a good time and party with bad bitches.
3.Who’sthe most badass character on the show?
I say the Hound cuz he just don’t give a fuck.
4. If you could be any Game of Thrones character who would you be?
I’d be my own character and take over the Iron Throne. U hear me!?
5. Of all the Game of Thrones characters, who would you want to smoke weed with?
Of course Tyrion Lannister! He knows how to party.
6. Was there an episode on the show that bugged you out the most?
When Littlefinger pushed Lysa down the Moon Door. That shit was crazy. I def did not see that coming. Littlefinger is cold.
7. I loved your analysis of the show with Seth Rogen. Do you host Thrones viewing parties with other people like Seth?
NO.
8. Can you talk about the tracks you contributed to the Game of Thrones mixtape, and why you think they fit the spirit of the show?
They fit with the feel of the show—explosive and real.
9. Whose plotline on the show are you most looking forward to in Season 5?
Daenerys Targaryen. She got them Dragons. It will be interesting to see how she uses them this season to claim the Iron Throne.
10.Who’sthe sexiest character on the show?
Hands down,Daenerys Targaryen. She’s a bad bitch.
FIN
>>70269500
Nostalgia
>>70262607
I think he was saying they need some positive black movies about brothers doing something besides being whipped by white people.
Snoop Lion has lost it in recent years. Shame, he was pretty based before the SJWs got to him.
>>70269353
This, and thankfully more and more shows are coming out with black actors and actresses put in good roles where they can show their talent without it being about race relations. Hopefully it can finally snowball into the mainstream enough to be normal and not a constant cause of pushing political agendas or blind hate/ignorance.
Negro here,
Fuck a slave movie.
Jewwywood makes these flicks to pacify us and villify themselves in a FICTIONAL context.
"Oh damn look how bad you blacks USED to have it! Gosh, we're so sorry for what we did to y'all 300 years ago! Things are so much better now though!"
FUCK YOU WHITE PEOPLE
>>70269659
I mean the guy rioted over the Rodney King beatings, he was always a SJW if not by another name.
>>70269613
He wants empowerment but keeping the racism alive. He's saying he doesn't like slavery because it's the white man keeping them down by showing slavery, not that he wants to move on to something positive.
>>70260058
>Black Panther
Why isn't there a hero called the Klansman ?
>>70259833
He has a point honestly. I've met other black people who feel this way.
They hate that movies and things about black people are always focused on slavery/racism and feel that constantly bringing that shit up creates problems.
>>70269751
He was justified at that time tho. Now it;s just pandering and SJW arm twisting for muuh Obama dollars.
>>70269936
>He was justified at that time tho.
Really? Were the Baltimore protesters justified as well? Freddie Gray actually died, whereas King, although brutally beaten, survived and made bank off the city as a result.
Sounds more like you just liked him more at the time so his actions are less niggerdly as a result.
>>70269936
having a twitter tantrum over muh cis privilege and taking to the street to bust heads/get your head busted are two very different things senpai
>>70269936
>defending the LA riots at all
Are you 16?
Empire exists. It's one of the biggest cultural contributions blacks have made in years and it's overwhelmingly popular.
It's also racist as shit but you can't say that because it's about black people and the co-creator is black.
>>70270189
>Lucsious gets locked up for a murder his entire family is aware he did
>Blacks, including the family and Al Sharpton, come out in full force to protest the racist police force even though the victim was another black guy
It's just real life senpai
>>70269997
>Were the Baltimore protesters justified as well?
That has nothing to do with anything. Why even bring it up?
>>70270050
Fair enough
>>70270110
Double that
>>70259833
so fucking based
>>70270391
You're implying that rioting over the injury of a black man is justified because a celebrity you like did so in the 90s, although it resulted in the injury of several dozen others.
Are the Baltimore riots today, that began over a similar circumstance, also justified despite the fact the rioters have the full support of your dreaded SJWs?
>>70269524
>sexiest character
>Daenerys Targaryen
Not that I expected a good taste from him, but still...
>>70270391
Thanks for being a trip faggot, now I can filter you
>>70270391
Just ignorant then
>>70270463
Again Baltimore or modern events have nothing to do with it, stop baiting holy shit.
I was actually alive during the 90s, attitudes and circumstances during those times and during the riots earlier were very different.
>>70270597
So this was justified, correct?
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UMP6bXnXdZM
>>70270640
No, that was heinous. Should have shot them on site.
Would you stop baiting now? I know what you are trying to do, but it won;t work with me.
You Americans are fucked. You're primed for a race-civil war, and that's where the powers that should not be are taking you.
>>70264990
A rolemodel is a rolemodel. Not all of them are great. Just look at The Dude from the big Lebowski!

>'WOW CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT SLAVERY FOR A SECOND'
It's like a Jew complaining about too many Holocaust documentaries. The dope fried Snoop's brain, he's rambling.
I kind of feel the same way as Snoop but without all the anger. Watching Roots will do nothing for me
If I want to learn some shit like that I'll watch a documentary not some Hollywood entertainment
I know shit was fucked back in those days. I get it but it's not helping me now . I make too much money to spend the rest of my days being mad.
>>70259833
Wow, am I legitimately amazed. Some of you can't even think beyond of your traditional /pol/ mindset and disregard his opinion just because he's black, but he actually raises a very valid point. Why do we treat things which happened hundreds of years ago like it happened today? You don't see white people calling themselves slave owners or owning whips anymore, it's time to move on.
>>70259833
>Let's create our own shit based on today

>>70266729
There are dudes in Ghana making movies. Sure, they're probably shit, but they made the attempt. No reason black people in America can't do the same. For fucks sake, you can film and edit things on your phone now, the barrier of entry has never been lower.
>>70274003
you know it!
He's right. So long as the mass perception of American Black history is "we wuz slaves and shit", while ignoring everything beyond that, there will always be needless bitterness and hate borne from ignorance, not good for anyone involved.
And if people actially cared about Roots theyd watch the original, fuck a remake.

>>70259833
While I agree with his ultimate point, it would probably ring a little more sincere if it wasn't coming out of one of the most successful mouthpieces for the glorification of all the shit that is still holding the black community back (gang warfare, drug culture, etc).
>>70274212
If you actually listen to his music, he doesn't glorify it, he's against it. He used to be a crip and hated gang culture.
>>70274159
Literally who
>>70274302
but he USED to. Has Snoop denounced his previous albums? I assume not, gotta get them royalties playa playa. He still promotes drug use to this day
>>70274426

>>70274476
the angle is his hypocrisy. Your everyone is doing it so it's ok reply is retarded
>>70274533
If you honestly think that smoking weed is just as bad as "gang culture" you need to go outside and get some perspective on life.
>>70274476
"Every shitbird white hipster" hasn't made millions preaching to the masses how awesome it is. Hell, Snoop is probably the reason a lot of them started in the first place.

Those are just a few tv shows/movies that portrait black people in a good light , there are plenty of tv shows/movie oriented specifically to the black audience. Furthermore there are a lot of successful black actors/actresses that have played great black role models in movies and tv shows. Wtf is Snoop talking about?! does he knows people watch this stuff for either entertainment, and in some cases they could be used for educational purposes..
I mean chill snoop, is not like hollywood is trying to tell you that black people can only play slaves.. If anything, they are literally letting black people play any role they want "hey want to be a Norse god.. ok no problem".

They have that, it's called BET. It's pretty much shit
>>70259833
They're engineering victims, which is a voting bloc for the Democratic Party
>>70276938
they are engineering other blocks if you know what I mean
Liberals intentionally focus on past atrocities in order to rile people up.
Do you really think democrats want black people to be like "fuck dwelling on the past, I'm gonna own my self and make it to the top myself!" ? Of course not, they want black people to think they're spurned and that they are owed something, because it makes them vote for them.
Remember: every piece of media formed by the ruling class in America is made with the goal of slowly conditioning people to vote for the team.
>>70259944
that's what happens when blacks blame oppression for their shortcomings for 200 years
>>70277119
Don't blame it all on black people, blame it on the media and the white liberals for even enabling this kind of subculture to exist. Look at the news, a new 'racism' story gets published almost every month.
>>70259833
>oy vey! But the evil gentiles victimized you!?
Snoop is right. We need more blackedkino and less slave shows otherwise the world will never understand how culturally enriched america is.
>>70277054
>"you can make it if you work hard enough for me :^)"

>>70259833
That's actually a good idea, Snoop. Create your own shit. Oh, and tell your fellow black rappers to stop sampling music by white artists.
