LAFF 2014 - John Singleton & Negritude Fillmaking Debate - FuTurXTV & HHBmedia.com - 8-5-2014

“I Wanted Baby Boy To Be The Greatest Nigga Film Of All Time!”

This LAFF article unfortunately will not go into all the fascinating and interesting reasons why John thought or proclaimed that Baby Boy was going to be the “The Greatest Nigga Film Of All Time”. Nope I have that whole ABFF 2001 Baby Boy Premiere Screening Q&A filmed and one day I will post it on YouTube with running commentary. I only wanted to mention that inflammatory, powerful and controversial quote from John Singleton to make one understand that when I was at this LAFF 2014 sponsored Diversity Speaks Forum with John--I wasn’t surprised at all to hear later on much more similar inflammatory, powerful and controversial and always highly memorable “Pro-Black Hollywood” quotes from him.

2003 German Hip-Hop Review By David L. "Money Train" Watts, Funk Gumbo Radio, FuTurXTV, The FuTurX, LLC & HipHopbattle.com

My first real encounter with actual German hip-hop was in late July 2003 at Germany’s MTV Hip Hop Open at Stuggard, Germany. Johannes "Strachi" Strachwitz runs 711hiphop.com. Strachi and Alex Ritcher are the co-promoters of the MTV Hip-Hop Open. Alex also runs a major German talent agency called Four Artists. Some of Germany's top hip-hop groups are on Four Artists.

MTV was broadcasting the live one-day hip-hop concert that drew around 10,000 German teenagers. I hadn’t arrived but a minute and was interviewing some German lowriders at the MTV Hip-Hop Open Fairgrounds. I started paying attention to a German hip-hop song blaring on the loud speakers. The beat was forgettable, but the hook was not. I barely bopping my head to the beat when the hook jumped in saying, “We Das Niggas!” “We Das Niggas!” I thought it was funny hearing the N-word in German and then I realized I was the only “Das Nigga” around a sea of white and unfamiliar faces. But why should I be surprised to see thousands of foreign white folks shouting out “Where My Nigga At?” Or “Nigga Who” or dozens and dozens of “Nigga” hooks on practically every major hit hip-hop song or music video. Our hood or urban culture is everywhere in Germany--the good and the bad. So I laughed off my “We Das Niggas” experience and enjoyed the concert.
