When Angela asked how much Netflix should give him and he said "shit you give them 20 mil I want 20" :plzstop:
I like how real he was
He dragged Justin Timberlake too :dead:
I love this man.
Such a good interview.
Omf.
The whole interview.
Black Panther, Justin, Obama, Prince, Trump, etc.
Bill Cosby and the passing of his daughter...

Sinbad mentioned the woman Ava, too.
So he says monique should get 5 mil
But if it was him he wants 15 mil if they are giving 20 mil to the other guys
Okay gorl
What is sinbad worth

What is sinbad worth
That's a good question cause he's undoubtedly a comedy legend, at least in the Black community but I couldn't tell you the last time I saw this man on television.
Sinbad>Monique
this was good one
hes very wise
I just checked Sinbad's upcoming dates
then Mo'nique's. I dont really see a big difference
both are doing comedy clubs and theatres
Mo'Nique is doing the Apollo for Mother's Day Im sure that'll sell out
she should have that recorded and offer it to HBO or Epix
Quote from: Black Jaguar. on March 02, 2018, 07:29:17 AM
I?ve never heard of this guy :dead:
Which kinda proves Monique has a point.
She?s definitely more universal.
Not really
Mo'nique has just had much more of a recent presence which allowed her to exist in the internet age and ultimately reach people who otherwise wouldn't have been very familiar with her as a comedian.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think The Parkers is in syndication over there in Europe.

Lol How old are you? You couldn't have possibly grew up in the '90s and not know who Sinbad is, whether you are white black whatever...

Oh, he's European? I take back my comment, then.

Sinbad will always be >>> Monique
I wish they give her 5 mil at this point to shut her up
She should listen to him tho, he said he knows they wouldn't give him 15 mil, but he's putting together his own mess and then taking it to them.
you can't just sit and scream inequality all damn day without doing anything.
SHOW them why you're worth 15 mil, and stop saying look at the damn resume
the Parkers and Precious are nigger circuit type accolades, put a special together and draw a crowd 'Nique, then we'll root for you tbh

true... harsh words because Monique is acting out
but here's what I meant.
It's like Tyler Perry vs Steven Spielberg/George Lucas
yes she won an Oscar, but we have to realize anybody outside of her immediate demographic, nobody is going to click on a comedy special just because she's pictured.
"Oh that's the mom from Precious, lemme click!"and being that Netflix is a private tech company, it's VERY hard to prove anything outside of their "analytics"
but I'm noticing trying to bring Tiffany into it so it will be come a black female issue and not a Monique issue, so I wonder if Whoopie or anybody else will back her now.

I get it. I understand it.
I just wish Mo'Nique was not at the forefront of a real issue.
Futhermore, black people just need to start owning their own mess and creating opportunities for themselves.
The same way black people should start owning their own businesses in their communities. At least in NYC... I can't speak for other states/places.

monique has drawn crowds for over 20 years :dead:
Bent, how would you feel jf you worked at a company for 20+ years, and some bitch gets promoted over you for doing one accomplishment :dead:
This is that same situation.
This goes back to the ?black people have to jump 5 extra miles for half the results?
At this point I hope something like Tidal starts streaming shows. Time to take this shit back.

You got a business idea Ralf? :blush:
I don?t see this ending well for Monique. I feel like she?s going to have an accidental death or something..
Her thing has been about Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock most of this time.
And they're just on another level than Mo'nique in terms of creativity and OWNERSHIP. Which brings their value up.
Mo'nique is always latching onto something. She never owns or takes the helm of it. She didn't even write Phat Girlz.
THey're worth more than her and for valid reasons. What is so hard to understand about that?

Yeah she doesnt deserve chris rock/dave chappelle pay.
1-5 million seems reasonable.
its not the same situation though because its not like Amy has "one accomplishment" she has multiple in the recent past
she's getting paid based on how much money she's bringing in already

Right.
I'm all for her saying "I'm worth more." Am mean, by all means sis.
But when you put forward statements and arguments that can come off as a bit delusional, it understandably shakes the faith of anyone who would otherwise be behind her 100%.
It's great to know your worth. But actually KNOW it. Don't make it up.

which is why I'm glad nobody is giving her a pass from her original statements
now as far as Netflix snatching the deal entirely and blocking her calls, judging from how everyone else cosigns her bad behavior, I think that's what Charlamagne meant by it's a Monique issue.
If they contacted her and her husband and were so turned off that they started sending sis to voicemaill..... maybe it's time to get rid of husbandger and get a real agent with good relations to Netflix
or HBO even, cause like Charla said ... has anybody else come with offers .... sis was pissed :dead:

honestly its very disrespectful to negate what shes done, and say Netflix is paying her just because shes white
I mean we know there is white privilege which will always play a part
but ppl are acting like Netflix just gave any random cracker off the street $13 million
I understand what Mo'Nique is saying about her husband asking QUESTIONS that are not normally asked in meetings... which is important, to me.
But her husband is def an issue in his delivery and energy.
There's just something about him, he doesn't seem likeable.

completely loyalty in business doesn't exist :dead:
is there a problem with racially equal pay.... like Afro said, we can ALL attest to that.
but this is a Monique issue.... and after seeing her and her husband in action, how they talk to ppl. If I was the project manager presiding over the negotiation call, I prolly would've cut sis off and blocked her number as well.
you're focusing on trying to make this entire issue fit into racial inequality in pay ... and that ain't all that's happening here :kii:

Mo'Nique did HAVE to tell ppl to boycott either. If she just put something current to show shes big draw and in demand Im sure they wouldn't have pushed back either
but she couldn't because shes not in demand

There are times I wonder if I'm even getting paid comparable to my white male colleagues (same level of work and time). I know I'm probably not. But it has me really thinking about this issue more often than not.

Nah.
Mo'Nique performed for Netflix twice to showcase what she was capable of and then.... you know, I won't even go into the story.
The bottom line is... there is an issue. You know that. I know that. Let's focus on THAT.

It sucks that she?s taking a valid issue but trying to selfishly apply to her own situation. At this point in time, Monique is not as profitable as Amy, Dave, Chris and co.

its not the same situation though because its not like Amy has "one accomplishment" she has multiple in the recent past
she's getting paid based on how much money she's bringing in already
Monique has brought in money for several years tho
So how is amy only 5 million short of what chris and dave are getting and they did this shit for SEVERAL decades?
Mo'Nique has been blackballed for almost 10 yrs, and right now shes performing stand-up in little comedy clubs. Shes not bringing in that much money RIGHT NOW
and Amy honestly initially was only at like $10-$11 Million, but she re-negotiated and didnt go tell ppl to boycott so they gave her more
Amy didn't need to tell ppl to boycott... Netflix came back with a better offer, no issues or push back...
Netflix didnt "come back" with a better offer Amy counter offered based on how popular she currently is, so of course they didnt push back
Mo'Nique did HAVE to tell ppl to boycott either. If she just put something current to show shes big draw and in demand Im sure they wouldn't have pushed back either
but she couldn't because shes not in demand
Nah.
Mo'Nique performed for Netflix twice to showcase what she was capable of and then.... you know, I won't even go into the story.
The bottom line is... there is an issue. You know that. I know that. Let's focus on THAT.
no lets go into it. Netflix came to her show
in a CLUB and she got 2 standing ovations. The girl is talented, no lie I LOVE her
BUT it didnt show that shes popular, it just showed that shes funny and talented
which is great, but isnt BUSINESS
now is there an issue in the gap in pay? Yes
but in this thread we're talking about Mo'Nique
shes not pushing the real issues thats happening to Black women
No. It's ok, Ray. All due respect.
I'd rather focus on the real issue vs. discuss that with you.
I didn't read past "no lets go into it".
Sorry.

When I look at these events, I think about my mother, sisters, nieces, friends... fuck Mo'Nique (she's not the one to carry this or her husband).
There's times I wonder if I'm even getting paid comparable to my white male colleagues (same level of work and time). I know I'm probably not. But it has me really thinking about this issue more often than not.

This is very true.

Sinbad will always be >>> Monique
I wish they give her 5 mil at this point to shut her up
She should listen to him tho, he said he knows they wouldn't give him 15 mil, but he's putting together his own mess and then taking it to them.
you can't just sit and scream inequality all damn day without doing anything.
SHOW them why you're worth 15 mil, and stop saying look at the damn resume
the Parkers and Precious are nigger circuit type accolades, put a special together and draw a crowd 'Nique, then we'll root for you tbh
This is the only thing that irritates me
Why isn't our type of 'circuit' worth more? Even to our own people?
But yeah
!
Also Parker's wouldn't be here without Moesha and if someone said that about moesha we would be trying to drag them!

You know, who is worth the time and energy.
Love ya.
:wub:
Mo'nique should have gotten 5-10 million
We're the Parkers, we're doin our THANG issa nu double swing come and join us, we're the PARKERS!
Lol.
Flavor of Love reunion, Charm School, BET Awards, Phat Girls, The Mo'Nique Show, The Parkers, Precious...
BIIIIT 'Nique really stayed afloat in the 2000's. And "Blackbird" also was a MOMENT.
Sinbad I know him because Ray-J used to act on his show or something.

monique has drawn crowds for over 20 years :dead:
Bent, how would you feel jf you worked at a company for 20+ years, and some bitch gets promoted over you for doing one accomplishment :dead:
This is that same situation.
this happens all the time Gen :dead:
in every industry, it's a what have you done lately world
completely loyalty in business doesn't exist :dead:
is there a problem with racially equal pay.... like Afro said, we can ALL attest to that.
but this is a Monique issue.... and after seeing her and her husband in action, how they talk to ppl. If I was the project manager presiding over the negotiation call, I prolly would've cut sis off and blocked her number as well.
you're focusing on trying to make this entire issue fit into racial inequality in pay ... and that ain't all that's happening here :kii:
Its not a monique issue though because monique isnt the first woman to come out and speak out on this?
The WAY she?s saying it is wrong, but that DOESNT negate the reason for her speaking out in the first place

The Parkers stayed on daily for years along with Fresh Prince and My Wife and Kids on Trouble lol
I stand corrected then :cheerup:
I had a feeling I could've been wrong.
Ya'll seem very familiar with her.
