L!VE, in the City!

The Negropedia, episode 1

Amidst all they fuckery going on with White nationalist rallies and monumental clapbacks, I think its time to followup our Hollywood Whitewash feature with Pt.2 Hollywood Blackout. 

1. Ving Rhames as Tony Soprano

Yea, we are starting with an easy one, but I think Rhames would have an interesting take on the character.  Plus we need to destigmatize therapy in our community, almost as much as Tony’s crew needed to. 

(RIP JAMES GANDOLFINI)

2.Janelle Monae as Audrey Hepburn

Janelle Monae is just as iconic in colour as she is in Black and White. Paired with Style icon of days past, Audrey Hepburn, the Electric Lady adds an updated flash of elegance.

(RIP AUDREY HEPBURN)

3. Andre Benjamin as David Bowie

Andre Benjamin as David Bowie. Look at these two futurists chillin in tuxes on the red carpet . . .

. . . 

AND HERE THEY ARE IN THEIR NATURAL ELEMENT

And here is 3 Stacks as a Hotep and Bowie as a Tin Man.

(RIP DAVID BOWIE)

4. Taraji P. Henson as Liz Taylor

Taraji P. Henson as Liz Taylor. Each Star getting better with time.  T would Roc Cleopatra a lot better tho  . . . #Dontdebateme

(RIP LIZ TAYLOR)

5. Brian white as Derek from “American History X”

If there were ever a Black remake of American History X, Brian White could star in place of Norton. We are talking some serious intensity and character development but that is well within White’s range. Plus I’d love to see him curbstomp a Neo Nazi.

I wasn’t trying to fully cast this joint, but yo,

Hakim from Empire would definitely be the little brother

And Keith David Evil ass would play Stacey Keach evil ass.

lmao  . . 

Ight, back to the list!

6. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING DOWN

S/O TO @knockfivetimes

7. Mean Girls- All-Black Cast

Lupita Nyong’o as Cady Rihanna as Regina Keke Palmer as Karen and Zoe Kravitz as Gretchen Weiner "You can't Fuck with us"

8. Djimon Hounsou as Logan

Djimon Hounsou as starring in logan. 

Sans beard. 

This might be a reach, I wouldn’t know because I haven’t seen an X-Men film since Kelsey Grammar played Beast. 

Speaking of which . . .#BLACKFRASIER coming soon . . .

9. The Royal Tenenbaums All- Black Cast

FOR MY TENENBAUM FANS! Had to give one of my favorite “black” comedies some much needed melanin. We think this cast is well equipped for Wes Anderson’s masterful melancholia. 

just imagine it . . . 

Royal: Denzel Washington- “Died courageously saving his family during a shipwreck” Etheline: Phylicia Rashad- Mother of Genius children, holding it all together Ritchie: Cuba Gooding Jr.- the introverted fallen hero. Tormented by love and loss. Chas: Kevin Hart- Neurotic, successful, spiteful. Margot: Tandie Newton- The dry, secretive, smart-mouthed sister. Eli Cash: Marlon Wayans (Terrance Howard understudy)- Loveable Cornball Raliegh: Jeffrey Wright- self involved fool. Buckley: Chico Alec Baldwin Narration: LeVar Burton

Pardon my chopjob. 

10. Dick Gregory as General Robert E. Lee

IDK about yall, but I’d watch a "what-if” Historical Fiction movie if Dick Gregory lead a secession.  We’d be bussin skulls with vegan diets and alkaline water and allathat.

(RIP DICK GREGORY)
