Roc-a-fella Records only made 2 motherfuckers rich and where is it now? Jay Z went to Def Jam for a reason, Roc-fella wasn't shit.
That's what I am saying.
Yes, you do need to have your own Hollywood to create your own projects. Who is gonna produce it, who is gonna direct it, who is going to cast it, where you gonna screen it and who is gonna watch it and who is gonna value it?
There's a reason why there's a disproportionate amount of Jewish directors, screenwriters, and movie producers compared to actors.
The Jews got together and made shit that they like and value yet had mass appeal to sell. So when Jewish kids look at the credits they see themselves making something that great.
And they can control what they wanna sale because they are in control of the overall infrastructure. You can't even name a Black superstar movie producer, that just produces movies. Black people gotta be the director, actor, and the producer and we think that's dope.
The problem with Black American media is that it lacks prestige and mass appeal. Outside of slave movies and Black pain porn, nobody really gives a fuck about Black American TV shows and movies. The system don't even care to cast actual Black Americans anymore.
Then when it comes time to get paid, Black actors gonna get hit with a couple thousand dollars and get told to kick rocks.
White TV and movie execs know Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels ain't paying nobody. Taraji has worked mostly with them two, of course she isn't gonna get paid what she is worth on top of being on a shitty ass project.
Lol, who is the best Black talent in Hollywood right now that is telling their own stories with critical acclaim and mass appeal? Donald Glover. That's about it.
Commercial art requires education, wealth and business infrastructure. You can't make shit with critical acclaim and mass appeal without it. Black Americans don't have it and we will never will have it because we are poor surrounded by motherfuckers with long money.
And we when do have a motherfucker with the guts and guile to do something about it, we end up with Tyler Perrys and P. Diddys and Jay Zs that copy all the business practices that create the same conditions.
