Tyler Perry Movies are the Devil

What’s woody, grasshoppers???

Today marks the day when millions of Americans are hitting the polls to cast their vote for either President Obama or Mitt Romney


The only thoughts I have is that the public should exercise their right to vote, but SHOULD NOT place all responsibilities on the shoulders of the President present and future...they ain't mommy and daddy


The real change comes from the face you see when you look in the mirror everyday whether ugly or beautiful


Now, look
...

I’m not gonna trash Tyler Perry…in all fairness, I’ve never seen any of his movies or stage plays to come up with a valid opinion…I don’t think his movies are my cup of henny


I may be wrong, but hey, I’m not in the mood to consistently watch a man play the role of a woman…Madea movies remind me of those old minstrel shows that got mad love in the chit’lin circuit back in the day…that’s why I struggle with popping in a Madea DVD or any of his other joints that have nothing to do with gangster granny
 

Now that I think about it, 98 percent of the movies that are out nowadays don’t grab my attention…so it's not just TP movies...I’m more of a documentary kinda guy
 

Who knows, I might have a change of heart one day...a lady friend is begging me to watch a Madea joint with her to show me the "inspiration" and "messages" in his movies

In defense of Tyler Perry, I’m using this time to holla at the complainers…you know, the people who claim they hate reality shows, but watch it anyway, or the type who shit on Tyler Perry movies without supporting anything else


Yes, those types of people



Speaking of reality shows…

I’m not knocking anybody who watches them, and I don’t think people who enjoy them as well as TP movies are less intelligent

Heck, I enjoy gangster flicks like Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, New Jack City, Menace II Society, blahzay blahzay


I just think it’s funny that the same people looking down on reality shows are DEDICATED to watching every episode to the point of giving play-by-play analysis on their Facebook timelines on some Madden shit (the main reason why I know about the content of shows like Love and Hip-Hop)


It’s like talking shit about porn stars but masturbating to their videos


They say reality shows are guilty pleasures...but guilty pleasures are taken by small dosages…otherwise, it’s not a guilty pleasure anymore


Back to the subject…


There’s room for Tyler Perry movies…he found his market and he's rightfully capitalizing off it...a good stage play is recession proof…stage plays racked up a grip of money during the Great Depression of the 1930s


If you’re not the type to watch a Tyler Perry movie, support joints like The Great Debaters or historical documentaries like Hidden Colors instead of complaining


 

Don’t be like that person who says “music today sucks” but don’t take the time to support your favorite artists by downloading their music for free

Just like the polls, a dollar is a vote…remember that


I’m out

I edited this piece on November 6th...yes, I can read calendars

Lying About Book Sales is Sexy



 
Ayo…I wanna pour out some herbal tea for Whitney Houston…a damn shame for what happened to her…a great loss.

48 is mad young…real talk.

I also wanna pour out some green tea for Prime Time book store that was located a couple blocks from Fulton Ave on Nostrand Avenue in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn.


Another independent book store bites the dust. I was pissed to see the book store closed...I wanted to cop a new book to read...FUCK!!!

I’m not gonna blame the close on the lack of support from buyers. You never know. The landlord could’ve jacked up the cost to lease the joint for the new year and forced the book store out.

Then again…I did see a barber shop a couple doors down on the same strip…and then again, you know Negroes love to get their hair tight at least twice a week.
 

Speaking of lack of support, a lot of people dislike when authors lie about their sales. A lot of authors give themselves “the best seller” tag like it’s going out of style.
 

Guess what...I really don’t blame authors for doing that.
 

One of the first questions I get from potential buyers when I’m out on the grind is, “How many books you sold?”
 

I’m thinking to myself, “What the fuck does my book sales have to do with the actual content of the novel?” I hold back on expressing that thought because I don’t wanna appear rude and lose out on a sale.
 

So I usually give them the vague answer of, “I’m doing well” (which I am) or “I’m on my second print run” (which isn’t a lie)
 

American society has an issue with associating quality with sales. That’s a false. You can convince the public that syrup on shit is pancakes with the right marketing and promotion.
 

Oh…I forgot…they’re already doing that…it’s called Chit’lins

Let me stop before my Southern brothers and sisters send me hate emails.
 

I remember one time I helped this sista make up a story to a customer at her book signing in Harlem about BET picking up the movie rights to her novel. I lied my ass off…LOL…I wanted to help a sista out, so I played along with her.  

And yep...she got a sale.
 

You can’t get mad at the author for doing that…a lot of people are quick to support the rich and forget about the poor…the book game is ugly, just like any business of selling…you gotta fake it before you make it to put your foot in the door sometimes.
 

We’re living in a society where people care more about record sales than the actual music…it’s hard to speak honestly when the world is superficial…you gotta get it how you live.
 

Me personally…I don’t lie about my sales...I give vague answers like I said before…I let the reader figure the shit out on their own.
 

Am I wrong for saying I’m a best seller if I order only 100 books and sell out of them?
 

I mean, I did “sell” them to the “best” of my abilities…right?
 

Marinate on that…until the next time…
 

Peace
