Spike's Dislikes

Filmmaker Spike Lee recently attacked rappers for the bad messages they put out to African-Americans. Isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle inauthentically black?

PS Lee says that though there are major black movie stars, they still have little power in the film community. Well, I do know of one multi-billion dollar section of the entertainment industry that does have strong black control--rap music.

PPS In the article I link to, Spike complains about certain music and videos. And if you click on those words, they show you where you can buy the stuff.

  1. Do you really think there's any comparison between Spike Lee and gangsta rap?
