    It's funny that he had to clarify that it's not a biopic and he's not a hitman lol

      It’s actually not funny it’s just clear how the black man is perceived especially any successful black people always looking for flaws n I don’t just mean other races blacks do it too most hated on race because we hate on our own

    Yes James Bond is white and should stay that way, applaud Skepta for recognising that and creating his own character and ideas. Clearly the race/gender swapping narrative in Hollywood in particular is boring and just shows they have no original ideas.

      @@Stoicgenuis that's fine but be sure to keep that same energy if they make a new Shaft movie with Ryan Gosling playing the iconic role. The main point here is if you need to start playing around with the race/gender of a character then the character is probably played out and needs to be retired.

    I respect Skepta he's UK's best grime/HipHop artist and now he's created his own version of James Bond instead of crying about Idris Elba not getting the role like most Blacks did when they heard the news. This man has no victimhood in him, he's secure in himself, believes in his talent and goes out to make shit happen.
