That's why "ghetto" was mentioned Jay.

it's a word/language I've seen used countless times to not only describe Tyler's work, but his audience as well.

and it's offensive .

The reality is that most of his work is Ghetto trash, and I say that as someone who was a fan at one point. Even when takes his characters out of the hood setting there's always a character or two playing to the black stereotypes, so in my eyes he's part of the problem.

Tyler needs to do better. He's in a very prestigious place in Hollywood right now, it's time he takes a break and green light other people projects and hire some new talent behind the scenes. More writers, producers, directors and put out some real iconic movies/tv show for his niche audience.

If he would just take his time and focus on one idea/project at a time he might just shock his audience. But he has his hands in too many things all at once  it's no wonder his content continues to be shit.

I saw someone comparing his stuff to soap operas, umm if Tyler took a few tips from the soap world he would already have better projects. One thing soap operas do better than any other medium is write real characters and that's something Tyler lacks at, all his shows are Plot driven. Everything starts with the characters on soaps: How will this situation A affect the character? How would situation B change character? How will situation C challenge character?

I just want him to use his clout in a better way. He's sitting right in Atlanta where so many things are being filmed. why isn't his name attached to Brandys new show? He has been making movies since 2005 I expect from him. There's so much more he could be doing for his audience that he hasn't even tried imo.

Well in reality there are people who actually sort of fit stereotypes .

And not only that , we do things that may be stereotypical every day

we enjoy fried chicken. We may roll our neck and get a lil "hood" if we get upset enough .

Should I stop eating fried chicken because it fits a stereotype?  Should I stop using Ebonics even when I'm not in work mode because that's stereotypical  ?

I think the problem is a lot of people don't see the beauty of all types of black people being represented. We are not a monolith . I've seen Tyler put forth a lot of different representations of us .

From the neck roller with two baby daddies , to the business / corporate minded woman who's all about her career and coins , to a Black CEO running the show , to the downlow man hiding the truth from his wife .

guess what. There are people out there who can connect to each of these characters in some way.

I hope u get what I mean Jay

Im not super defensive about Tyler just because some people aren't fans ... I get defensive because many times when I hear a critique on him, it's dripping with condescension and anti-blackness. Flat out.

We see the words Sharon used to describe holly Robinson Peete. Ghetto.

The first sentence is what caught my attention .

And the whole thing about there being no need for diversity in characters once one of them is taken out the hood.

Reality is not every Black person completely "leaves the hood behind" once they leave .

But that idea of exclusion after Shalequa gets her piece of the pie is very interesting ....
