Mike Epps recently spoke on Chris Rock’s latest flop movie, Top Five and said he doesn’t understand why White people keep giving Chris Rock opportunities.
Here’s what Mike Epps said about the movie Top Five:
“I haven’t seen it. I don’t know why they called it ‘Top Five? There wasn’t one good comedian in the whole movie.
I don’t know why they keep giving Chris Rock opportunities. He’s a great standup and a good Meerkat. When do these white people – they’re blind. They keep giving the wrong dude opportunities.”
LOL MIKE LMAOOOOOOOO!
The same reason why they keep giving his boring comedy opportunities-CHANCE! So, stop with the Willie Lynch syndrome and pick your self up by the boot straps. Work on your craft and improve your comedy skills.
Sounds like mike is hating! Guess Oprah told him it’s time for someone to step on rocks shoes because everyone loves Chris he put in his work ! But epps can’t hold a picture by himself he is a side kick and this is his big break ! Besides you never hear of any real trash about Chris can’t say the same about epps ! Ps Oprah sucks and Nick should’ve got the job just saying that makes me laugh saying epps not so much.
What comedy skills? He needs to sit his unfunny azz down.
Honestly; Mike shouldn’t be talking about any1 because he is AWFUL/ NOT FUNNY as a comedian.
What Mike needs to talk about is what he had to do to get the role of Richard Pryor.
LOL…not for nothing…I’m not a fan, but I did think Nick Cannon could pull off looking and sounding more like Rich than Mike. What do you think?
@TainoBoriqua; I agree. I think Nick C would have been a better choice for the role of Richard P.
Lol….He said that on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, I was like DAMN Mike tell em how you really fee. I believ he is just happy he finally got a REAL role in a movie. He will be playing Richard Pryor and Oprah is in the movie so he is like my grandmom would say ” he got his ass on his shoulders right now”
feel, believe
Mike is right. The only thing that coon chris rock is good for is degrading black women and acting like we are inferior to white women because our hair isn’t greasy and filled with lice. But you wont ever hear him say one negative word about white women and their prune faces, etc.
Every black woman should boycott all his projects like i do.
I’ve never heard him say anything disrespectful about me or any other sista that wasn’t the truth. Own your shit.
So you’re saying that Chris Rock is GOOD for degrading bw? Really?
Sorry but you sound hella jelly.
Chris Rock has never said anything like that EVER. You still feeling some kid of way about the movie “Good Hair” where he called out all you self haters out there? Seems like it to me!
Chris rock is intelligent and witty, well-paid and respected.He is also CONSCIOUS of his Blackness ad what it means to be Black in the business he chose to make his living in.
Mike Epps has admitted he never saw the film so he’s just showing his finally got a shot at the mainstream first shot at legitimacy ass on this one. Negro please. HE’S WORKING FOR LEE DANIELS, DOES THAT NOT TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT HIS CHARACTER? Lee Daniels is the most self-loathing, mysoginist racist director in Hollyweird and this is the mofo who gave this fake ass chitlin circuit a cheese cracker to chew on in this movie.
Expect a character assassination of Richard Pryor, Black women, Black comedians and white women because Lee Daniels’ allegiance is to white men in general and white men in power in particular. This is what Epps has signed on for, a hatchet job on Richard. Mark my words, y’all gonna regret this negro ever taking that job. I’m done with Day-Day.
@Vanna, you’re right! Rock talks mad shit about black women. But of course his followers are going to be on his side. Wonder why he’s getting a divorce now? Those who can’t see what’s going on, they’re the f*cking problem. In this case Mike Epps was sounding a bit jealous, and I do in fact like his material better than Chris. But he doesn’t need the same people who are behind Chris Rock, Epps kept it real up until now.
His m.f. ass ain’t funny if its not scripted. I swear, niggas & flies. Last I checked, C.R. is very well paid, informed, AND in demand! Sad when we continue to downgrade, belittle, talk shit, AND hate on one another. Just piss poor sad.
Mine would say: “Smelling yo piss”
Yep
Chris rock is not that good an actor but he is way better than Epps. As for stand up? Forget about it, he is the boss. I would bet my box office dollars on Rock rather than Epps any day
Hear, hear Anyways! I would ever buy a Mike Epps ticket!
*never*
Chris Rock is only decent in movies when he is in a supporting role.
Mike Epps seems to worry about other black comedians a bit too much (Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Chris Rock).
Why so negative Mike? There’s room for all of you.
It’s called crabs in the barrel.
Chris is THE BOSS of standup. You can’t f*ck him cause he’s too quick with it.
And his show, Everybody Hates Chris, is in syndication.
Mike Epps should take notes and stop coonin. IJS.
f*ck with him. LOL
The greatest obstacle for blacks in hollywood is themselves. Chris Rock, Mike Epps, Kevin Hart, and Dave Chappelle can pull their weight by their lonesome. It’s not about them being funny. Will they remain loyal over the long haul? Shucking and Jiving is putting our entertainers in the poor house, Why? The people lost respect, and the money stopped flowing. Mike Epps is temperamental too much, got a chip on his shoulder. Some folk are too real for ShowBiz—I Guess?
Mike Epps has turned into a bonified hater. If he spent more time honing his comedic craft maybe he could get the same shine instead he’s just silly not clever
AGREED..
Top five grossed 9 mil opening weekend. Hardly a flop.
yeah but how much did it cost to make???
Chris actually financed it himself ( I heard 15) and sold it as a finished movie. Kanye and Jay z chipped in as well. It has doubled their investment with another ten countries yet to release it. Then pay per view, then show time, hbo, etc. it will make ten times what it cost with no problem. Epps wish he had fifteen mil. Hatin ass.
That part!
This is why I come here. Thank you.
Sounds like a Steve Harvey in the making. Watch yo back Chris!
There is enough money to make however that white exposeure is limited. You better bet Hollywood is not going to have to many mult-talented Black men soaking up the roles which in turn would increasa demand for more black faces period.
I like Mike Epps but right now hes giving me a sort of Steve Harvey attempting to snatch bread from Bernie Mack type vibe. No need to be so thirsty. We as a people have to seriously try to make our own opportunities instead of waiting for massa to throw one bone, and everybody fighting tooth and nail to get a hold of it.
The real question is what has Mike Epps done lately?
He has only trashed other bigger comedians and had bit parts. I mean name one memorable acting performance or stand-up routine from this guy? Steve Harvey and Mike are pure haters!
The Hangover was his biggest hit.
@Steve Harvey & Mike being haters! LMAO
I’d like to know who made Steve the voice of the black community?! He doesn’t speak for me…and his book(s) sure as hell don’t pertain to me. He can’t speak for ALL black men…just himself.
Mike sounds bitter. He had his opportunities to blow up but it didn’t happen. His humor didn’t catch on with mainstream audiences and he was limited to bit parts here and there. Maybe if he had a cable talk show on HBO (like Chris) he’d probably gain that fame outside of the black community that he’s been craving.
Without Chris Rock creating a lane for other comics to succeed in films and television there would be no Mike Epps, Mike Epps you are no more special than any other comic, trying to destroy Chris Rock will not advance your career and by the way, Lee Daniels should not have choose you to portray Richard Pryor, you look nothing like him and you are not funny, never have been and never will be FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Correct. I heard last week Eddie Griffin is doing a Friday Night Live show to rival SNL. Every comic of color is lining up to help out.
mike had to pop lee in the ass.
You know he did. Lee is a deviant, look at the characters in his movies. Hell, look at the ones on his TV show! That dude’s got real issues; he is hateful, twisted and narcissistic.
he was obviously being funny
I don’t think so. Several tv execs were interested from what I heard. The format is sketch. A cross between in living color and wildin out. Byron Allen as corny as he is keeps three shows on network tv at all times has pledged support. And that Oreo has major juice on the comedy tv side. They are trying to catch dave Chappelle type lightening in a bottle.
when I saw pootie tang I was like what was cr smoking.
you want to stop girls from going into prostitution show them wanda sykes dancing in that film.
mike epps has dome a lot of films and tv appearances he should be lucky for the breaks he got over the years.
him and chris both have impressive resumes.
“mike epps has dome a lot” LMAO! I know you meant to say done but oh, the irony.
lol Mike knows why Chris keeps getting those opportunities. And what’s up with him going at other comedians’ necks lately? First Kevin Hart, now Chris. Who’s next?
RUT ROH
Mike Epps is the most unfunny comedian I’ve ever seen. Chris Rock wipes the floor with Mike Epps.
AGREED..
Chris Rock, Needs To Rock On, He Fucked That Old Bag Madonna Back In The Day, So Did Bobby Brown!!!!
Hollywood Black Men Are Stupid
2pac hit it too and Madonna tried to turn him onto kaballah or whatever cult she was in.
Madonna used to change devils like crazy she tried every form of Satanism and kaballah fits her best.
all hail the tree of life.
@Lovest Love Chris Rock is many things, but stupid isn’t one of them. He slept with Madonna many years ago? Well who didn’t? It’s called a sex drive. When you are a young man and yo have the chance to bone the #1 woman in the music industry(at that time) you show me a single man who’ll refuse. I don’t care how nasty she may be. It’s one of those notches in the bedpost things that all men do.
LMAOOOOOO….FOR ALL THAT KNOW ME ON HSK, YA’LL KNOW THIS INSTIGATING HATER UP TOP AIN’T ME…SHE’S JOCKIN’ MY NAME…I SEE THE BULLSHIT HASN’T STOPPED. THIS DYCK RIDING WENCH ABOVE HAS BEEN JOCKING ME ALL DAY, TRYING TO GET ME TO INDULGE IT AND ENTERTAIN IT’S BULLISHT. I AM LEAVING GOING OFF-LINE NOW…ANY POSTS THAT COME ON UNDER MY NAME ARE NOT FROM ME…”TB, REPPING PLATANOS AND COLLARD GREENS ALL MOTHER FUCKING DAY LONG BYTCHESSSSS”. LMMFAOOOOO…GN FAMILY!
Taino Boriqua I feel your pain. More than you know.
Hang on, it’ll pass soon. They get bored and it’s on to the next.
Hsk why are you allowing this whore to f*ck up your threads , you cant be this desperate? you know she’s trolling why don’t you stop it , if you don’t you wont have a single poster on here no more its annoying and childish !
YOU KNOW WHO THIS 45 YR OLD BITCH IS, FIX IT !
Y’all in too deep where you actually care about people who post. Lol. Shit crazy. Somebody stole my handle, who cares? People who own these blogs pay trolls to stir the pot and cause confusion, thus resulting in more hits to the blog
Stfu!
LMAOOO…Absolutely no pain involved, but thanx for the concern. LOL…you can see all of their posts were deleted. That Cro-Magnon was following my posts all afternoon yesterday in every thread trying to push buttons. CTFU! I’m so good it’s not even funny. I can’t be manipulated emotionally and that’s what the piece of isht realized. LOL
Women of HSK: PLEASE stop hating on BM whose biggest crime is daring to air opinions of their women which reveal our little pecadillos and imperfections.
I’m not talking Tommy Sotomayor type bullshit. THAT’S f*cked up. I’m talking specifically about Chris Rock and DL Hughley.
Anyone with a brain can see that Chris Rock did NOT do “Good Hair” to clown bw about their hair for shits and giggles. The man has daughters, and he used his star power, his influence and his coin to make a small film BEGGING bw to end the war with our hair once and for all. It was “School Daze” part deux. And I sure don’t think anyone was mad at Spike Lee back then. Yet to this day, weave wearing bw have issued a fatwah on Chris Rock.
Same deal with DL. The man marries his black queen and stays married to her for 30 years(in other words he is the anti-Steve Harvey) yet he has the stones to make a few jokes in his stand up routine at the expense of women of his own race(yanno, like ALL white comics have done since comedy was invented) And suddenly DL becomes Public Enemy #1.
Ladies, we need to do better. We may be a bit too sensitive at times about certain things. IJS
^^^^^FINALLY…someone who GETS IT!!!
Thanks!
Thank you Mama. That means a lot coming from you.
If you were smart, you would know it’s inappropriate to talk like that in front of MIXED COMPANY. Chris Rock is NO exception.
GOOD HAIR WAS A VERY GOOD INSIGHTFUL MOVIE THAT MADE MY DAUGHTER STOP FLAT IRONING HER HAIR AND EXCEPT THAT IT’S JUST CURLY.NOW SHE HAS LONG CURLY HEALTHY HAIR THAT HAS NEVER BEEN CHEMICALLY TREATED AND RESPESCTS IT SO MUCH MORE.SHE EVENGOT ME INTO IT NOW I DYE MY HAIR WITH BEETS INSTEAD OF HAIR DYE AND IT HAS GROWN SO MUCH MORE. TEACHING BLACK WOMEN TO LOVE AND RESPECT THEMSELVES IS NEVER WRONG BUT CUSSING YOUR DAUGHTER OUT LIKE A DOG MIKE EPPS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE IS.HE SAID HIS DAUGHTER LOOKED LIKE JAMES BROWN AND WAS JEALOUS CAUSE HE HAS PRETTY KIDS NOW GOOD LOOK DADDY
Fed Up With Blacks,
I use beet juice also, and sometimes I mix it with pomegrate juice a little carrot juice and hibiscus tea, it brings a beautiful tint to my hair.
A MEERKAT!!! ROTFL
Seriously, Meerkat Rock will keep getting opportunities as long as he keeps throwing his ex-wife, momma and every other woman of color under the bus for a cheap laugh. Ugly on the outside and the inside.
But did he lie? Tell da truth. Shame Tommy Mattola.
@jeneane, truth.
@Anonymouse, of course he lied. Fool.
i saw top 5 and I laughed the whole movie in tears ( except for the first 5 minutes), when I left my stomach was hurting like I was in the gym doing hardcore ab exercise for 2 hrs. If you haven’t seen it go see it, its worth every penny. The movie also made me say “Chris Rock is funny as hell and whoever says he is not is a hater because Top 5 was truly funny”.
Ced is a gotdam fool. Lol.
I like Mike Epps but I’m afraid he’s turning into a Steve Harvey kinda hater. He was right though bout Kevin Hart, who’s not funny & is annoying
The critics LOVED Top 5. And that does matter when it comes time to finance his next project. Letterman said it was the funniest movie he’d seen all year.
Mike Epps needs 2 shut his damn mouth cause his azz is not funny @ all
Chris lost me when he allowed a joke about Jon Benet in his movie, “Head Of State.” That was soooo ugly.
This Rock clown had the gaul to compare Ellen Degenerate to Rosa Parks now is major tom violation a white dyke in the same sentence with Rosa Parks?

ITS ALOT MORE I MAY HAVE FORGOT BUT I JUDGE HARD AND THE SHOE FIT PUT ON A SUIT WITH THE MF’A
I ALMOST FORGOT MY MAN J FOX
In what category? Jamie has more skeletons in his closet than a serial killer, but he’s funny when he wants to be, whether on-stage, T.V./some movies, and his radio show (To the extent that the show isn’t very funny at all when he’s not on it).
He isnt funny to me. I attended one of his shows at the Baltimore Arena a few years ago and he blowed. I dont care for his movies, I preferred Chris Tucker in the original Friday because the sequels sucked with Epps. The Cholos in the 2nd film and Rickey Smiley in the 3rd were funnier than Epps. Lost respect for him when he said that his first wife/childs mom resembled James Brown. Well like everyone else said above before I chimed in he sucks and sound like a hater.
Y’all Know Damn Well Chris Rock Is Not Funny AT ALL ! The Only Thing I Can Acknowledge That He Was Talented In Doing Was [[ Pookie ]] On New Jack City ! < Thi
Why shouldn’t they give him money. Artistically his movies get ‘two thumbs up’ from all the critics. Woody Allan, Spike Lee have been doing the same for years. None of their movies are blockbusters, but are tops with the critics, and they still get financing for their projects. Maybe Eps should try to make his own stuff so he can see how its done.
Fuck it. Let's all run out and see meet the blacks. Lol
