Bamboozled is the most slept On movie in Hip Hop

Serious Juice Mayne

It just isnt a hip hop movie but the ”mantan” character reminds me of rick Ross

It's one of the most important films ever made and Hollywood buried it because it was too real.Love this movie.it says so much about blacks in entertainment

thats a serious flick. like TSsaid though, too real for mass consumption.

ive seen it atleast 10x i think spike hits a nerve with all his movies....clockers was another one i thought was a great bit of insight

I was goin to make a thread on this one day. I think every black person who wants to get in the entertainment industry should watch this movie. The racist footage in the end fucks me up.

Goat movie, it shows how these crackers exploit black culture

Correction: It shows how we wiilingly exploit and degrade ourselves to the highest bidder. Spike Lee was genius in creating this film. It's right up there with Malcolm X and Do the Right Thing

Sad how we willingly exploit and degrade ourselves for white skinned people, Spike is a genius.

numbaz...80's baby

great movie, I was a kid when it came out. So I wouldn't know if it was slept on or blackballed from Hollywood. It my first time seeing black faces and learning what it was all about. I never looked at cartoons and movies the same afta Bamboozled.

Love this movie. Watched it over 20-30 times. I laugh at so much of the ignorance in the film, but the messages behind it... is powerful.

Always get a kick out of the Maus Maus too. Represent a lot of those so-called "real rap raw revolutionaries".

fuck man, im watching it now, only 11minutes and 42 seconds in, i saw this shit once when i was so very very young and uninformed.....i didnt get it, i think i was used to seeing him in more overtly comedic rols as opposed to "political/racial satire"....now im watching it tho.....shit is deep....and thats only after 11minutes

representingda203

slept on movie for real, spike is a genius for this movie

Rahlow

Not much has changed since the release of that movie. Matter of fact, the footshufflin & buckdancin in black entertainment have reached a new low.

Damon Waynes should of got a Oscar

excellent movie that was purpsoefully slept on. it was too real for the masses. its kinda like the chris rock thing in a way. it you say or do something thats too real and points out white ppls flaws and hypocriscy that either point the finger of blame at you or try to ignore what you said. bamboozled was ignored by hollwood while white folks from coast to coast are taking shots at chris rock for telling the truth

What benefiting more out of it is that younger black audience lack of knowing about this, Gangsta movies, Hip hop beefs, Madea new wave minstrel show before our eyes and whites loving it.

This movie is so powerful. I never saw it in it's entirety till now.

I tell you, im not real sensitive, but i looked at my skin and started tearing up towards the end. It had me thinking too deeply about how being black really is an almost unbreakable curse cause the way weve been conditioned on this planet. The poison is so real. All our girls want thugs and all our woman want whites...

Where do we fit in, normal black men, where is our place in this society? Do we have to be like Wayans character just to succeed? Hip Hop to me is the epitome of this struggle.

Its so real, it hurts. Im not even sure who this movie is really even geared toward but its definitely an eye opener

@idoitforhiphop10 i wish i could give you ten GOATs for that, excellent drop.

00:49:11....the first time mantan and sleepaneat put on black face.....that shit made me sad man, fucking hurt to watch
