Killer Mike bitches about Oprah. There's a definitely an "Oprah bites" bandwagon. And Killer, pardon, Masarati Mike, is the lastest rapper to hop on board. Like Ludacris and Fif before him, Ice Cube criticized Oprah for not inviting hip-hop artists to her show. Apparently Oprah failed to invite Cube, who executive produced and starred in Barbershop, when her show did a feature on the movie. Interestingly, Eve, a rapper, was a guest alongside Cedric the Entertainer. The same thing happened for FX's "Black & White." Masarati Mike didn't get it. "Why is it that the producers of "Black and White" were invited to go on Oprah, but not Ice Cube? Name me someone more progressive than O'Shea Jackson, who came up in a black neighborhood, had the courage to leave a highly successful group only to start his own major multi-media company?" Killer asked SOHH.com. "That's a feat. And then he's snubbed by a black broad because she doesn't like rappers. Ludacris who starred in this breakthrough movie goes on the show with the rest of the cast, only to be forced to defend his lyrics. Where were you when [Bill] O'Reilly was criticizing him? Bill O'Reilly is just gangsta rap for middle America. He's there to keep soccer moms scared of niggas."

"Oprah is full of shit," Mike added. "Nobody has the courage to say that Oprah is full of shit. She's not some beneficent person, she's just a person capable of doing incredible good, exposing people to reading, exposing people to Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison, or she can just be a dumb bitch shitting on rap, shitting on poor black people, it's possible to be both things at once."

This is all just leading up to some kinda of "Very Special Episode of Oprah" fall premiere.


Whatever PR/Marketing that came up with this should be proud of themselves.

Oprah's Hip Hop Summit Special

Like I said, Op will come out of this just fine. All these rappers who are dissing her are just looking for attention and publicity.

This is ridiculous.What's next...Jay Z calls Oprah a "traitor"? Lil Jon calls Oprah a "rich bitch who can suck my dick"?? These rappers need to shut the fuck up and instead focus on the negative images and stereotypes that they promote.These guys come out with offensive crap like "Wait Til You See My Dick" and "I'm In Love With A Stripper" and they wonder why a classy,intelligent woman like Oprah doesn't want them on her show?! Please!

But seriously, who's Killer Mike? Never heard of the dude.

Exactly! And now you have heard of him because he's jumped on the "let's diss Oprah bandwagon".

DavidEye said:

We damn.....I could NOT have said it any better than u.

I'm just laughing at Oprah doing a show on the movie Barbershop Did she do one for White Chicks too?

Ellie said:

She did indeed. She loved the hell outta that movie. She also used it as an opportunity to ask the Wayans why they made fun of her.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Precisely.

Alot of these rappers remind me of bad ass kids in 7th grade who just want to jump on the bandwagon and instigate a fights in the playground for so called- street cred...

...I never could stand bad assed kids .

Exactly! The trash is coming out of the woodwork. They have it soooo bad. They dominate the whole damn media but they can't get on one little show. There seems to be someone out there that doesn't like their music. Poor things.

He's an Outkast associated artist.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Ellie said:

• this shit is goofy
  
  
• Killer Mike??? WHO???
  
  
• He speaks of Ice Cube being "progressive" then reduces this very accomplished woman to being a "black broad" & a "dumb bitch" Yea, real progressive.
  
  
• if she's such a "dumb bitch shitting on poor people" I'd like to know what Killer Mike (nice name btw) is doing for Katrina families... for people in Africa... for the numerous other causes Oprah has donated to/done work for. BITCH PLEASE - how a mf named "Killer Mike" (& who the fuck is he killing? how progressive is THAT??) gonna tear down a woman like Oprah just b/c she's NOT sucking rap's dick??? Who are we kidding w/ this shit??

Let me not get riled up, the media loves a frenzy of ANY kind

I have impeccable taste in movies Oprah just loves any actor that'll suck up to her. It put me right off Julia Roberts, especially after Oprah didn't "get" Closer just because of the bad language (who cares? It's a great screenplay and that's how a lot of people talk). But then she'll praise something as vile and one dimensional as Million Dollar Baby. Doesn't she like anything where the characters aren't so clearly defined?

That actually speaks on Oprah's character flaw. Her eliteism, ego and her judgemental side. People like that in general have trouble understanding complexities in poeple and also are a lot less forgiving. The idea of a bad guy doing something good or a good guy doing something bad becomes difficult to comprehend because they feel they have assesed a person's character and applied what they know about that person to their own personal set of values and have judged them accordingly. They get offended when that character breaks their rules as if it was to offend THEM (egotism). The result is usually lack of trust (he/she is trying to trick ME). They take it as an attack on their assesment rather than the introduction of new knowledge about a person. Most of us are guilty of this at some point or another but some people are much moreso. Ego gets in the way. Debra Wilson used to do MadTV skits on Oprah and how she always had to be right about everything and was pushy. Shit was funny as hell!
I don't know much about Killer Mike but am I the only one who wants to know WHY PEOPLE KEEP ASKING RAPPERS ABOUT OPRAH?
I certainly wouldn't ask Oprah about hip-hop, so why ask rappers about Oprah? Its stupid if you ask me.

Million Dollar Baby was vile and one dimensional? Not in my books. I loved the movie.

CRASH was amateurishly written..

It's the "Find Any Excuse to Pick on Oprah" thread.

Crash was very introspective and shut down a lot of institutionalized stereotypes about peoples' characters. Moral eliteists had a hard time with a movie like this because of the reasons I stated in my previous post.

You're making it sound like Cube said that although I could understand him thinking that if she didn't invite him when featuring the movie Barbershop. I mean, that's his movie. Still, it's Oprah's show so she should be able to invite or not invite whoever she pleases.

Besides, I don't blame her for not liking a lot of rap. Most (not all) rap songs these days are made by young males for young males. The funny thing is, rap had a more universal appeal back in the 80's and early 90's when it wasn't saturating the market-- go figure.

Crash was average. That stupid little girl should have been killed, then I might have enjoyed it more.
