Known for his controversial political agenda, Spike Lee writer, producer, and director of classic films like; Malcolm X , Jungle Fever, Do the Right Thing, School Daze etc. has made his way back into the younger generations eyes, by exploring the very start of his career. The 1986 indie film She's Gotta Have It launched Spike's career, and now in 2017 has been reinvented. Becoming a center of the modern feminist message, young adults all over the Internet have decided to weigh in on the show. Expressing mixed feelings towards the plot, while falling in love with the main character Nola Darling, portrayed by DeWanda Wise. She's Gotta Have It is the story of Nola Darling, an artistic free spirit, who's openly dating three completely different guys. During the 80s, this message of a woman's sexuality being equally as open as a man’s, immediately uprooted the middle class. Between the introduction of crack and the rise of gangsta rap, people feared that this new ...

First of all I love Chris Rock; he's one of the funniest comedians of our time. So him alone is one reason that I'm not boycotting the Oscars. Usually I never watch the Oscars, but I planned to watch it this year, because of the honest theatrical comedy of Chris Rock. Secondly, where were the Smiths when the rap category winner wasn't shown at the 2015 Grammys? Let me answer that, they were watching the show. Award shows have been prejudice since their beginning and clearly in 2016 there hasn't been much of a change. If you're going to boycott the Oscars you should propose a boycott for all of the Award ceremonies.  Thirdly what are the actual motives behind the Smiths boycott? In 2015 over 10 innocent black teens were gunned down and I don't remember seeing none of the Smiths raising a "race" issue then during that time. Did they participate in any events with black lives matter? No. Did they use their money or fame to help any serious ca...

It's crazy how everyone (including myself) we're so quick to judge and write off Spike Lee for him depicting the current state of the world, in his new movie Chiraq . Chicago natives instantly criticize Spike Lee for creating a movie about the gang violence in Chicago, because he's not from Chicag smh. Chance The Rapper says the movie was made to exploit not to "save lives." I too participate in this ignorance, mainly because Nick Cannon is one of the stars in the movie. He plays the character Chiraq , the lead gang member and local rapper of Chicago. Although the movie turned out to be phenomenal, I'll never be able to take Nick Cannon seriously especially as a gang member, with his drum line face lol. Sorry Nick your acting wasn't too bad actually, but I cannot. Anyways back to the topic at hand, Chiraq is a term describing the city of Chicago and Iraq as a war zone hence "Iraq." WAKE UP!!! Spike is weighing in on the ignorance of gang violenc...
