Don’t forget “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka” and “Don’t Be A Menace To South Central When Drinking Your Juice In the Hood”; two of the most honest portrayals of the ghetto and two of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. O Ging (over-golding) instead of ODing, and a main character with a father a couple of years younger than him...

I don’t think it is a Fox show, but I’m shocked that “The Maury Show” is allowed to air in this day and age. Nobody can watch it without forming some very negative opinions about certain people...

I know an emigre thus who got a full ride scholarship his senior year of college, after getting his American citizenship his junior year.

Apparently the black admin in the financial aid office was not amused when he asked for an AA scholarship form.

I have heard about the show, and just happened to come across it while channel surfing the other night. I decided to watch a little. I think it was the Season Finale. The scene I watched was a complete, verbatim rip off from one of the most popular scenes in the Eminem movie “8 Mile!” Pretty funny, a black TV series ripping off scenes from a “White Rapper” movie from 7 or 8 years ago.

I recorded an episode last week to see what all the fuss was about, I was only able to stomach about 10 minutes before I deleted it and told my pvr not to record that crap any more.

The show’s a large hit from what I hear. Who cares what the ten people watching Don Lemon think, do or say? Of course, hip hop is coarse, but its intellectual value is at least equal than or greater to that of CNN content.

the conversation turned to whether the Fox hip-hop drama negatively portrays African-American culture


any accurate portrayal would be negative

"Coonery."

I assume that's a real word and not just poor spelling...

Definitely worth seeing; the second one is a spoof (they combined the names of a bunch of ‘hood movies) with the Wayans brothers.

If some whitebread cracker said ‘Ghettofied’ ‘Coonery’ they would be treated like an OU frat boy. If one citizen can say it all citizens can say it.
