Robert Townsend single-handedly changed Hollywood and how independent film making worked. He showed an avenue for broke people especially black broke people to make a movie and make it work and force your way into the mainstream. Y’all better respect Robert!!!
I didn’t know who he was and it’s good you posted that because now it looks stupid especially when one Black man is hating on another who contributed so much to the entertain community. We already know it’s hard enough to own anything that you created as an entertainer especially a Black one so maybe Faizon should cool it. I’m only happy that he did it on a Black owned show instead of the one he did talking about Jay Z on the culture vulture show with that one DJ who get everyone to snitch each other and then counts their money.
@@NaymitMayne you’re right I remember that too. Man Robert Townsends passion project HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE is a MUST SEE CLASSIC!! He maxed out all his credit cards to get it made and it exposed how Hollywood treated anyone in the margins in the 80s if you were black hispanic etc you got the most stereotypical roles no matter how good you were. It also helped jump start his friend Keenan ivory wayans career who then made in living color where he put his whole family on and many other legendary comedians you know. The Hollywood Reporter executive who distributed the movie Hollywood shuffle heard his story of betting on himself and maxing out credit cards as a self loan to make this movie out he pushed the movie hard and let that story be known to everyone who would list. He loved the self determination Townsend showed. Other people after this took the same avenue. BET ON YOURSELF
Oh yeah?... ery time I hear this dude he be talking sh?it about somebody..at first I just thought ..well he prolly know who knows😁😁 whateva...but now that you say this...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😁😁😁
It’s most likely the second part. Ppl especially men get this macho mindset when they feel as if they SHOULD be looked at a certain way in certain professions. He gives of hater vibes even if he’s telling some truths and seem miserable with where he’s at in life currently. The only thing we heard new from him are these types of interviews.
THANKS YOU! I USED TO LIKE THE GUY, BUT HE TALK TO MUCH BULLSHIT, TALK ABOUT WHEN YOU (HE) PLAYED THE GAY GUY IN THE CELL IN MONEY TALK, WITH CHRIS TUCKER IT NOT A ACT YOU DID IT IN PLAIN SIGHT,WE TAKE IT FOR JOKES BUT THEY DO IT FOREAL
Robert Towsend is the reason we had ANY of the Wayans family, In Living Color, Jim Carey, Tommy Davidson, Jamie Foxx, David Alan Grier and all of the shows and brands that have come from all of those legends! Faison needs therapy. There's something bitter happening in that brother's heart.
Big Worm, you have a right to your opinion but Robert Townsend slander will not be tolerated!!!! He gave too many black comedians work and opportunities over the years. He is a legend and has always spoken to Black excellence, empowerment and unity! Thank you “Bobby Taylor” Townsend. THERE IS WORK AT THE POST OFFICE!!
How is what Faizon said slander? You motherfuckers are to sensitive these days. Faizon wasn’t the only person to call Robert Townsend out about not speaking up for Dr.Cosby. Hell Shawn and Marlon Wayans been saying for years that Robert Townsend is a bitch and that’s why they Will never work with him again but ya’ll don’t say anything about that.
Robert Townsend is one of the Black Movie Pioneers, Respect dat. Faizon talking sideways about people and he doesn’t know Robert or Bill’s truth. This dude is a clout-chaser and has done nothing but shet on Black people in the last year. This is what Faizons legacy will be.
He has a point though. If you think Cosby is the victim of a Gloria Allred witch hunt then you can't be afraid to say it. I don't see any other reasonable scenario. Either Cosby is guilty or that 100 million Allred put up has people lying. If you think Cosby is innocent then that makes him a victim and you can't be afraid to say it.
@@42tribes You make a good point. I personally don't think he's innocent but if a friend of his did then why not say something. That being said we have one side of this conversation and from Faizon's previous hater comments it seems suspect
@@42tribes Tell me something why does Bill Cosby need Robert Townsend to speak for him? Is it going to change the minds of the people who think he's guilty? If not then what's the point? Cosby has a lot of people standing by him already what is Robert's words going to change? You act like he said something negative about Mr Cosby when all he did was not say anything at all. You Act like Robert Townsend was Cosby's best friend why does he of all people need to say something on Cosby's behalf🤨
If someone thinks Cosby is innocent it means they gave the accusations more than a cursory glance or they have a pro Cosby bias. If its the former then it would help Cosby to have someone give reasons to why this is a witch-hunt/money grab. If you have knowledge of anyone being railroaded by the law and you have a relative platform to speak truth to their predicament I think its of good character to do so. In that sense, this really isn't so much about Cosby. This could be anyone.
@@42tribes First of all Robert Townsend wasn't around when Mr Cosby was doing what he was doing and his saying he doesn't believe Cosby is guilty is not going to change the minds of the people who think he is. He's not some special man with powers to change people's minds people are going think what they whatever they want. Again out of the many people that Cosby knows and have worked with what makes Robert Townsend so special that people would want to listen to him? He would be just another person saying he's innocent. Robert Townsend is not responsible for Bill Cosby he doesn't owe him anything
Faizon is a salty, bitter dude. Constantly pissed off or calling someone out. Man I hope dude finds some peace in his life and let whatever it is that feeds his negativity go.
Didn't he get paid from Robert Townsend on "Parenthood?" So why is he trippin on dude that fed him. This sound just like Stacy Dash n her trippin on BET when in the past she got fed off of it.
@@radenewbury7499 If Faizon has a problem with someone and is bold enough to call them out their name he should be able to say why without Pierre having to ask why. The fact that he couldn't even say Robert did something to him personally and instead brings up the Cosby situation speaks volumes
@@blackturkdog well, that’s ironic. He was on Robert’s show. Given the sentiment, he should do that same for Mr. Townsend. Faizon is just disrespectful sometimes. His “keeping it real” disposition is tacky and he’s too old to be speaking with a graceless tongue. That street shit is lame, especially at his age.
At this point I'm not shocked about anything that comes out of his mouth Faizon he's just stuck in his ways like he's really in his feelings it's been over 20 years
WHY DOES FAIZON HAVE PROBLEMS WITH JUST ABOUT EVERYONE, AT THIS POINT IM FEELING LIKE MAYBE HE'S THE ONE WITH THE ISSUES... I MEAN IM PRETTY SURE HE'S NOT LYING ABOUT EVERYONE BUT HE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT DAMN NEAR EVERY ACTOR/ACTRESS IN HOLLYWEIRD
Robert Townsend 's old partners in crime HBO specials came on at a time when black comedians couldn't consistently get work. Love should be thankful for someone who opened the door for them.
He does seem to be I mean you don't hear about in no drama or scandal, nobody has anything bad to say about, and his name never comes up when they talk about the so called evil in the industry. The only thing that was said was the lady that played his wife in his show The Parenthood died of cancer 🤷🏽♀️
If what he is saying is true then I totally understand why Robert Townsend opted to remain silent. The backlash to Phyliscia Rashad was nearly devastating so imagine what it would be like to him.
Faizon Love can never greenlight a project. He will never be in a movie unless someone decides to hire him for a minor bit part. He hates everybody because he has no clout in the industry. He’s the third string player who’s pissed at the starting quarterback.
He got something to say about everybody, so what did you do? Like the old folks use to say anybody got that much to say and its never about themselves can't be trusted.
Robert Townsend is a legend. He wrote for Eddie Murphy and Keenan. As many African-American ppl Bill Cosby talked about and treated like shit on their come-up!? Devil came home to roost....
What Fazion Love needs to realize is that he's not as funny as a comic as he thinks he is.. He's bitter because his career went into a serious slump when people realized. That his comedy is mediocre at best. I mean when is the last time he has done ANYTHING notable?
Just because someone will hire you doesn't mean you have to advocate for their innocence. This is a short clip so maybe I'm missing context but this seems unreasonable.
This man appears to be suffering from what I like to call "B.B.S" ( bitter brother syndrome) ...just goes to show you ,a person could have a decent bank account and still be miserable,negative ,and hateful 🤦🏾♂
So is it safe to say Aries Spears & Faizon Love are Fraternal Twins?..lol They conversations,concerns & confrontations are the exact same good grief. Im wonder if the have beef with the same people...lol
I wouldn’t put Aries in that box he constantly give props just has a difference of opinion that some people share. But He’s never said anything negative about other comedians and negative as insulting towards
What makes Aries bitter honestly. The key and peel thing because a lot of people think there not black enough. And the thing with Kevin Hart was that you can receive help on your stand up and be considered a goat which Kevin Harden made it to getting help on the stand up from my side people always call him better because it seem like he was throwing punches at people who are more successful when he was just telling the truth
Smh. Everything isn't worth responding to. This was very disrespectful. There were things that happened to people that I know and I didn't find out about it until I was 36 or 37. Does it make it less true? Everything don't always get exposed right away. People need to stop acting like just because something may have taken place awhile ago that it isn't relevant. That is part of the reason why people stay quiet for a long time. Because they end up getting verbally attacked or what have you even though they are the victim. The way people choose to think, speak, respond and behave nowadays is really sad and pretty sick.
Being a successful actor is all about range, you have to be able to transition into multiple roles. If not you'll be type cast. Robert Townsend seems like a positive role model. Faison felt as if his career would sky rocket after Friday. Just because you're in a high grossing popular (Friday) movie doesn't mean you'll be a movie star. Chris Tucker is famous because he has kept our attention. If Friday 4 ever come to fruition starring Chris Tucker, please believe it will do well at the box office because of Chris Tucker.
This dude never ceases to amaze me with his fuckery!!!! He got a comment about every brother who live better than he do !!! Gtfoh!!! All love brother Townsend keep lifting up ya folks!! You straight blessed my Dad
Lesson I learned in life theres 2 sides to every story and then there is the truth but one thing i noticed about people like Faizon is that theres always one common reoccurring factor in his life at this point and its that he has a problem with so many people a wise person would look at him and see clearly that he might be the problem lol
This is why people are not hiring Faizon Love for any gigs. Even Tyler Perry wouldn't hiring him. Also my I add that other people who worked and known Cosby are not saying anything either.
Robert Townsend did not defend Bill, because just like a lot of people who around during that time, he knows it's some truth in it. Any decent man, a father, with daughters will not speak up for that bullsh*t. The biggest favor he could have done him was to stay quiet.
Wont stand for no Townsend slander. Dude is a creator not a destroyer. Love is always complaining bout someone. Dude is toxic af. Bitter his career never reached its potential. I worked w Mr. Townsend as a intern nothing but a honest hardworking dude. Gtfoh.
Faizon seems like a brother that critiques when he deems it appropriate and doesn't like fake people. Don't hate on him, it's possible that he's correct on this and simultaneously it's possible that Robert also helped many black people and is brilliant. Ya'll need to learn about mutually exclusive and mutually inclusive, etc.
@@samcookinggrits996 Dr. Cosby a hater of the young generation? He sent a lot of the young generation to school with the Millions he donated to HBCUs! Now tell me if all these other comedians like Eddie Murphy, Chappelle, Earthquake, Lunelle or Pierre has ever done anything for Black folks other than talk! Do some history of this Icon!
@@tysmith2138 Cosby is a fully realized human being. Did he hate on younger comics? Yes. Did he also do great things like you said? Yes. Did he help black stunt men get started? From what I heard yes. Did he also drug women to have sex with them? According to him, yes. And I'm not talking about no 1960 or 70s, it's what everyone was doing shit, I'm talking about what he was tried for. The incident happened in the 2000s. We can think fondly ok things he did and showing a successful NORMAL black family when that wasn't the norm on TV and also say that if he did the things that he said then he should be held accountable
@@ctl6985 Cosby wasn't hating on young comedians he just wanted them to do better! Just as your Father or uncle would tell you something that you might not like but had to be said! Cosby fought for a better image of the Black male on television! And didn't want that image spoiled with buffoonery and stereotypes! Please read the deposition and not off of what the White media has put out! Cosby did not "Drug" women! The 2000 case you are talking about he gave that woman Benadryl for a headache she was having! Most of these women were groupies and drug addicts out for a payday after Gloria Allred put a ad in the paper for 100 millions dollars lawsuit against Cosby for assault victims! These allegations are not for rape they are for sexual assault!
Sometimes in life its not the things people say for you , its the things they say against you ( Chuckie Haley ) , I never heard anything Robert Townsend said against him
@@trentpope7162 Bro I grew up IN Detroit and watched the Cosby show when it first came out on NBC. ( NOT THE RE-RUNS!) I never missed a episode! And I used to be a huge Bill Cosby fan until I heard Jamie Foxx talk on his Sirius radio show about all the rumors of Cosby drugging women OVER A DECADE BEFORE all the other allegations came to light. Trust me bro,. that nigga is guilty as sin !! I don't care if he's black or not ! My obligation in being a real one, that was born and raised IN Detroit is to always keep it real.
@@tennaj1367 He's guilty because you watched the Cosby show and heard Jamie Foxx say something? Make it make sense. What you just said didn't. Not one shred of evidence and he supposedly drugged women for ages?
No, Robert Townsend's character saw Faizon's character and his wife through the wall. Bill Cosby was the homeless man that had the last piece of the meteor after it hit Robert Townsend's character.
Robert did right he didn’t know if he was guilty and didn’t want to speak on it . Fazion always gave me werid vibes I think the only time I thought he was normal was on the parent hood but that’s right Robert gave him that role too . I think Fazion need to love love as much as he loves food and leave Robert alone 🙄.
That's the thing if you defend the women somebody gon say u wrong If you defend the suspect someone gon say you wrong If you refuse to comment, someone gon say you wrong !!!
