Boots Riley On Why You HAVE To Watch 'Sorry To Bother You', & Using Your 'White Voice'

Күн бұрын

Boots Riley is known for being an artist who knows how to get the conversation towards him. With projects such as 'Steal This Album,' 'Kill Their Landlord,' and 'Genocide and Juice' it's safe to say he enjoys blurring the lines when possible.
He speaks on his new film 'Sorry To Bother You' and what makes it so real. He also addresses why people were so excited and disappointment with Obama, switching the way you interact with different races in different environments, and some of the latest news from the Bay Area.

Definitely surreal but thats exactly why movies are magical, you can do anything with the narrative.

This was a DOPE interview Ebro & Laura (she looks AMAZING too! ), it's GREAT to see Hip Hop pioneer Boots Riley is continuing to be a revolutionary Hip Hop leader as a movie director as he was as a Rapper!! I'm going to check out his movie this weekend, we wish him much success, love and prosperity, WORD!!! ...oh yeah, WE did NOT miss Rosenberg at ALL, good lookin' out Espys, Word!!! ;)

Loved the movie, loved all the literary references, especially Ionesco. Riley is such an intellectual, wish there were more intellectuals like him getting mainstream attention.

I wish Ebro knew a bit more about The Coup's music. There were some missed opportunities in questions and clarifications that could've been asked.

I’m Surrounded by homeless and I’d be homeless too if it weren’t for rent control here in SF. It’s unbelievable. People are literally starving to death and dying from needing medical. I think you’re referring to ‘Renovictions’ -the SF Tenants Union which youcan follow on FB breaks down what’s actually happening on all these issues and makes different laws and petitions more understandable for renters

This movie really feels like how I feel being vegan and knowing what happens to animals in any kind of animal agriculture... it’s right in front of people’s faces but no one cares. It’s a horrifying part of humanity and this movie really brought how I feel about humanity to light... how animals are treated is equivalent to how the equisapiens are treated.

This film was very disturbing -- I liked that the interviewer said he thought it was a "documentary." Agreed. We are living in dangerous times where wealth is now being accumulated at levels never seen before (where four families in America have more wealth than 1/2 the US population) and it's killing us.

hmmm, he characterized his own albums kinda inaccurately..but IMHO. I think album 3 was more bay hood. But all first 3 had a definite bay area thug swing to it even though they sampled dope breaks.

As a white person originally from the east coast where a small town saw its lone manufacturing industry wiped out last generation I thought the film worked because most people can relate to "What do I have to do to make ends meet these days?" as a mindset. It's a problem the large majority can relate to and grounds the film even when things get weird.

I've been a musical fan since "Dig it" dropped. I also liked the movie. I don''t agree with the whole "everyone white is evil" message that seems to be reaffirmed in The Coup music and movie. 🙄 I'm not going to spend my life being pigeonholed with ethnicity. Slavery comes from within. 💎💎💎

Can the lady interviewer get a word in edgewise? Love the movie but the revolution is sexist! I can't watch this dynamic any longer. Why even have her in the room? Men, step back.
