What happened to this show?
I had to switch it off when Lucious was in jail recording that song...sounding like someobody's grandpa
Jamal can't sing.
The songs are so corny. The plot is all over the place. Why was Kelly Rowland even there? :uhh:

Kelly is Lucious's mom, and she had a mental disorder. That's why Lucious thought of her when he saw his son, Andre. He resented his mom, and now he resents his son.

The first season wasn't exactly Masterpiece Theater but it was so much more entertaining and it was fun.
I couldn't even finish the first episode this season and I didn't tune in last week. I won't be back either.

!!!!! Empire is a good ass show. This season is actually slaying so far. Like shut the fuck up and support.
Wow, it's refreshing to see people with sense on here. We're only 2 episodes in. We have like 15 more episodes. If the show is trash half way through, I'll be objective about it.
But calling for boycotts and cancellation is a lot. And as soon as this black wave is over, they'll be crying about lack of representation and blah, blah, blah. You can't win for losing with black people, I swear. Build you up just to break you down quicker than any other.

That's a good point.
I think deep inside we all want to be a little against the grain sometimes.
Not saying it's the case for everyone, but I'd take that concept into just a little more consideration than the "black people hate black stuff" argument.

Why is it that when people criticize blacks they do it by putting whites on a pedestal as if white people do nothing wrong. "White people would never..." Shut ahp! Yes the fuck they would.
No one is trying to get it cancelled. It's a popular show so people are going to be talking about it good and bad. I'm happy it's still booking but it's trash.
i was ROOTIN for this show
but it fckin suck now
cnt b'lieve they had tha nerve to bring wetback in 'gain
it jus all 'round SUCKS now

Lets not act like blacks don't have a crab in a barrel mentality. Everybody hates, but whites are more eager to support. People were hating on Empire before the season even started. I heard people saying they were over it before it even premiered.

thats just dumb..
the acting is cringe worthy and the writing is the pits......thats why people are dragging the show
I can see why some may not be as critically receptive of EMPIRE as other shows. It has more of an entertainment element than anything, whereas shows like HTGAWM dig a little deeper and make the viewer think a bit more. It's understandable why some many regard EMPIRE as "trash" "low class", etc.
I have to admit, watching the second episode, I just saw stereotype after stereotype. From hip hop, to the black men in prison, etc. But this is reality for many of us black men, so you cannot be too mad at the scripting.
Yea, the show is so bad. Hopefully this is the last season.

Right. As I said, it seeks more of a pure entertainment factor than anything else. The musical performances, guest appearances, etc. Depth is clearly the least of their concerns.
I'd compare it to a pop artist vs. the deep indie artist.
Pop artist makes their music catchy, easy to remember and simple. sells more, but is seen as trash to many people. Deep indie artist gets all the critical acclaim, but almost never see as many sales.

And the fact that Murder features a prominently white casts can give it a little bit of lee-way. You know how niggas are with their hollow subconscious.

Well that was something I was bothered by then. lol
Otherwise I like the show :supluv:
I mean if you don't go into the show expecting Emmy worthy performances you won't end up disappointed. If I want depth and plots and mess I'll watch HTGAWM (which I don't watch cuz I find it to be draining sometimes) sss

Most 'niggas' aren't into the gay agenda that Lee and his WHITE gay agenda friends are pushing.
USING black people at that.
Also, Lee is one big uncle tom man, he bashes black men just because that don't support the feminization of the black man.
He got threw in a trash can, not a HUMAN SIZED oven.
He did not got through a holocaust, he needs to just be real and admit he can't get a black guy to succumb to his lifestyle so in turn he bashes them and the black community.
My qualm also comes in when he makes one of the sons gay to reflect his life and make the father character look like a bad parent for having his beliefs.
There's also Cookie, the most 'beloved' woman on the show because she's 'a black loud angry woman'.
White people just EAT THAT UP I TELL you.
I won't ever support this circus freak show of a television program.
The devil will STAY a lie.

It's most noted also that the ratings association has put down that myth that Empire is most liked by blacks.
If I remember correctly from the data that I SAW:
50% hispanics
30% caucasions
15% blacks
5% asians
I feel like the black viewership is less than 70% tbh.

Most 'niggas' aren't into the gay agenda that Lee and his WHITE gay agenda friends are pushing.
USING black people at that.
Also, Lee is one big uncle tom man, he bashes black men just because that don't support the feminization of the black man.
He got threw in a trash can, not a HUMAN SIZED oven.
He did not got through a holocaust, he needs to just be real and admit he can't get a black guy to succumb to his lifestyle so in turn he bashes them and the black community.
My qualm also comes in when he makes one of the sons gay to reflect his life and make the father character look like a bad parent for having his beliefs.
There's also Cookie, the most 'beloved' woman on the show because she's 'a black loud angry woman'.
White people just EAT THAT UP I TELL you.
I won't ever support this circus freak show of a television program.
The devil will STAY a lie.
nnn
I have to agree that its no surprise to me that white people love this show. :dead:
Then why do black people watch Love and Hip Hop (insert city) or Basket ball wives? Those are some of the worst portrayals of black people on tv.
lol
I never said that black people shouldn't like this show or don't like this show.
I'm black and I love it. So why shouldn't others...
My comment here was specifically in regard to our counterparts.
And my point to you is, if black people can support that, why wouldn't they support empire?
it seems like black people only have a problem with overt racism not subtle racism. They really went off when Cookie was in that ape suit yet Joseline and them stay apeing constantly. I don't get it.

I agree with the fact that there are subtle traces of racism in that show as well. Just the fact that a "Puerto Rican princess" is the lead woman of a predominately black hip hop show...it's just another message our young girls are absorbing. but I won't even go there. Because that's just my opinion.
But you have to remember that overt racism is clearly easier to detect, which would be why more people have a problem with it. When things are done subtly or sneakily, they're done that way in order to evade detection or controversy.
?Empire? last Wednesday night (66.9%) were African-Americans. It joins ABC?s Thursday tandem of ?Scandal? (42% African-American) and newcomer ?How to Get Away Murder? (41%) as broadcast dramas in which more than 4 in 10 viewers are black.

So it's close to 70 percent. Doesn't surprise me that a vast majority of viewers are black. But take into account the other 37 percent.....that's a LOT of people for a show that brings in those types of ratings.
Tboz looks like she's about to EXPLODE

There's nothing subtle about the cooning on LHH tho. It's just another case of selective outrage. Black people like ghetto, hood, ratchet tv but they don't like to be reminded of it.

I see your point now. Basically, how can someone put down EMPIRE for lack of depth and for cooning out and mess, and then bring out the popcorn for the latest episode of L&HH.
I agree.

I agree actually. It's not a stellar show but it is fun and fun to watch. The music always made me cringe a little but it has gotten better these past few episodes.

I'm not placing whites on a pedestal but in the same breath let's compare white messy blogs to the black messy blogs and you'll see the fucking difference.
Like Perez Hilton who started the trend of messy blogs
Or Michael K at D Listed
Such positive, supportive white bloggers.
Lets not act like blacks don't have a crab in a barrel mentality. Everybody hates, but whites are more eager to support. People were hating on Empire before the season even started. I heard people saying they were over it before it even premiered.
There are some that do but black people are held to a higher standard than white people when it comes to supporting each other so we get more criticism if we aren't supportive of one another or go against the grain.
When it's Perez Hilton attacking Lady Gaga it's just entertainment and no agenda, but when it's Media Takeout against Ciara it's crabs in a barrel.
