What a dumb and ignorant thing to say. Well I guess that's to be expected from black Americans who always make fun of Africa. Africa is a beautiful continent with equally beautiful countries and vibrant cities. We don't walk around naked sçratching our balls.
@The Meticulous Gentleman: Uh,what? Hell,yeah, he is---he's a damn fine actor. That's why he was such a huge star during the '90s---hell, Spike is one of the main reasons all 3 of these dudes became the big stars they became.
Finally someone has said it right. Its a "West African accent". People were making it sound like the whole of Africa has the same accent. And yes, Wesley nailed the accent
he speaks like that??? thats not stage is it? ommg!! your kidding? im not crittizinzing. i always though he spoke like a black gaphtto!. he sound like hes from ghana!
Say it again Denzel "Spike Lee has put more African Americans to work this business in this business...in the history of this business". In front and behind the camera
That has to be my favorite Spike Lee Joint. It has everything except light sabres and androids and hobbits and stuff. I feel like I've lived a whole lifetime every time I watch it. And the way Denzel makes it look like he's really playing that trumpet is magnificent. And I've seen a lot of people pretend to play instruments in movies; that is dedication!
ya but they are more modest n better actors, willis is the only one that has done a little different than action movies...i like arny n sly but they to cocky at times
He's not underated so much as he just got into a lot of trouble. He's going through his robert downey stage when he hit rock bottom before iron man. But also I hear Westley has a poor temperament??? Not sure how true that is. But Westley is a true talent no question.
Yeah, if you don't count the five marvel movies before Blade it's first. Otherweise it's the 6th marvel movie. And the first is Captain America from 1944. I also think Dolph Lundgrens Punisher from 89' deserve a mention! 😎
@@rylter We don't count old ass unsuccessful movies. Blade was the first Marvel movie that was successful in the box office world wide, and it's what caused Fox to take a chance with X-Men, and Sony with Spider-Man, and pathed the way for the MCU of today.
Ayingono Dalila F. He spoke in a west African accent to display typecasting and discrimination to black actors/ actresses. The part where he’s telling about them not getting into the party is also an inside lug at Hollywood who didn’t allow him in the party and are now awarding him at the same ball
+Stonedog23 Well said...That was Ray, before Ray...He morphed and had everyone who watched feeling like they were watching Malcolm in motion...Incredible film that still resonates today...probably his most timeless movie.
+Nathan Pickering Basically talking in terms of the Hollywood Jewish establishment not wanting to honor a depiction of a Muslim leader, especially one from the Nation Of Islam. It was a very political snub.
Now, that's a great Idea! Denzel at Danny, Wesley as the Brad Pitt role - too back Bernie's gone, he'd have to be in it too even thought was in the Clooney's!
All my boys together smiling, laughing and loving on each other in honor of another brother: Mr. Spike Lee. This was long, long overdue and I'm happy it was his brothers who gave recognition to him. This warms my heart. All three of these fella's are quality actors all day.
Adam Loring And none of them are international stars like denzel. I live in the UK now, people don't know Michael b jordans name like they did will smith.
Well you asked where are the next Sam, Denzel, and Wesley. Give those guys I mentioned 30 plus years in the business like you did these others actors and they very well could be international stars. You don't; reach that level over night.
He was nominated for Do the Right Thing for best screenplay written directly for the screen, that's certainly not an accomplishment to be overlooked, I'm sure he received congratulations then as well as eight years later when he shared a nomination for best documentary.
Awesome Wesley we still love you and great African accent! Samuel hope you still visit and enjoy golfing in Bermuda. Denzel thank you for your conduct as a man in this industry. Congrats Spike lee for following your passion thank you for showing us another way
Love these 3, my husband and I were just talking about Gator from Jungle Fever days ago, laughing so hard, we were crying......Saying I'll do it, I'll do it, you know I'll do it!!!🤣😊🤣😂
This is the most normal and chill I have ever seen any of them. So refreshing - and funny! Says a lot about how comfortable they are in each other's company, and how much such things affect how you act. Loved this.
Sam: Then Spike did She's Gotta have it! I wasn't in that one! Denzel was you in that one? Denzel: No I wasn't in that movie! Wes was you in it? Wesley: Don't talk about them movies I wasn't in!!!! Best moment for me!! Great actors here honoring Spike!
Every month is white history month. Trust me, my highschool curriculum was full of it. This nation, at its core, is run on white supremacy. People hear that word and it causes immediate defensiveness. Relax. As you said, whites are the overwhelming majority, so why not create a system by which said majority is certain to proliferate? Human beings are a tribal species. Trust me, just attend a Raiders vs Chiefs game. In that light, racism is also a natural thing. Innovations in travel and communication devices have proven this without argument. However therein lies the problem: America is a democratic constitutional republic in its infancy, (though truly a political oligarchy) and have promised certain privileges for people who are not white. In order for America to become what it says it is on paper, America had to "unbecome America". Now we have these unnatural encounters of many different cultures, and immigrants taking advantage of said travel advances in order to become Americans. Holy crap, they just elected a black president! Course correction #45. Americans want change, but not that much! The Declaration wasn't written on behalf of people who are not white, nor was the Bill of Rights. 200 years later, we're all here, Americans of equal rights trying to undo the mess that the forefathers made. So yes, there's a certain calculus within creating a truly equal society, even though the majority very likely has a relative, associate, or friend in every aspect of the socioeconomic structure of this country (white supremacy/white privilege). However, whites continuously don't understand the advantage of this networking within your tribe. In order to counterbalance this networking advantage, affirmative action was introduced. It isn't a perfect solution, but it's evidently a more plausible answer than Sherman's Field Order No.15. However, if my name was Jamal and your name was Dustin, concrete studies show that with the exact same credentials and resume, you will get the job. If you and I committed the exact same crime, you will serve a sentence 19% shorter than mine. My grandparents were sharecroppers; No education, totally illiterate. This is common in the south. My parents had to quit school in the 8th and 10th grades in order to help out in the fields. So when my older brothers and sisters were bussed from "separate but equal" black schools, which were anything but equal in terms of curriculum and facilities, who was there to help them with their Trig and Economics homework? Science fair? Whites have an advantage that I call "A legacy of knowledge ". There is a far greater chance that a white grandparent had a college education than a black grandparent. This is of extreme importance TODAY, in an atmosphere that many suggest that simply because no one alive was in slavery, the impact of slavery is nullified. LIES! Jim Crow was legalized slavery performed through white supremacy, and despite all attempts, blacks and whites will never be equal in this or any other country because of the white supremacy, Manifest Destiny foundation that America was founded on. These actors are amongst the greatest black actors in history. Because of this excellence, they have obtained movie roles written for white actors. Yet, despite their performances, they don't command the salaries of comparable white actors. DVD's in full HD of all of Denzel's films are leaked two weeks prior to their release with the message, "For Awards Consideration". The leaker is either a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures, or someone involved with the film. This does a number on it's earning potential. So those black men are on stage because they know what sacrifices black actors and filmmakers have to make in order to be successful. Dave Chappelle walked away for $50 mil, and Halle Berry had to film the equivalent of soft core porn in order to win an Oscar for a leading role. With that credential, what has she done since? Lol. This is America. Oh, and I can't go back to where I came from because Ancestry.com says that I'm 23% Euro and 12% Native, along with my various African ancestral parts.
Axmed Bahjad What your saying is really retarded. Their millions off black men across the GLOBE that acts in a "good" manner but don't get the same recognition as these dudes. Is black excellens really that rear for you that you feel we need to celebrate it every time?
I enjoyed them up there together. I felt the brotherhood. It definitely inspires me as a creative with creative friends who are all working our ways to the top.
This is hilarious!! I love how Samuel L. Jackson says he called me but I was in rehab which worked out because I had done the research for the roll........haha!!
LeMec Mortel. Why must we say that they are Black actors. Does anyone refer to Tom Cruise as the White actor? Race has nothing to do with it. They are great besides Wesley Snipes. He is a tool. Snipes knows what I mean. Don't disrespect your fan base that put you on top because now you are reaping what was sown.
Very beautiful to see those three big actors in the same scene making jokes and talking from the heart about a great directors. Thanx a lot for the share.
Wesley snipes just casually reminded the kids... He is much more than Nino Brown and Blade!! Its funny many people forget Wesley was the first and last real Black Action-film star with the keys to hollywood... Then the IRS came knocking!! Sam L Jackson is a legend along with Denzel and the kids regard them as such.. But i don't think millenials can grasp How big Wesley used to be..... in context He was the Black Van Damme with a much better acting range!! Wesley is above Will smith and all the others in terms of Black Action film stars by far.. I hope we remember to put him up in the Mount Rushmore of black actors along with Morgan freeman and the likes.

Finally, BLACK MAGNIFICENCE ICONS... Way Overdue !!!!!
its actually SHAFT
What’s crazy is that Wesley wanted to make black panther before blade and no one was for it so he did blade instead.
I think Wesley Snipes has got the best West African accent in Hollywood
Finally someone has said it right. Its a "West African accent". People were making it sound like the whole of Africa has the same accent.
And yes, Wesley nailed the accent
Actually most West Africans speak French. This isn't Ghanaian accent cuz I'm a Ghanaian. It's like Nigerian accent rather n not West African accent.
he speaks like that??? thats not stage is it? ommg!! your kidding? im not crittizinzing. i always though he spoke like a black gaphtto!. he sound like hes from ghana!
oor hes making it up?
thats not his real accent... purely intentional.. cant you see audience are laughing? 😂

Great film
I agree!!
That has to be my favorite Spike Lee Joint. It has everything except light sabres and androids and hobbits and stuff. I feel like I've lived a whole lifetime every time I watch it. And the way Denzel makes it look like he's really playing that trumpet is magnificent. And I've seen a lot of people pretend to play instruments in movies; that is dedication!

It’s not healthy how many times I’ve seen this😩 I’ve been watching and loving this for Three Years this month😂😊
the chemistry these three have is undeniable. too much charisma on that stage
So Wesley Snipes was basically auditioning for his new role as General Izzi in Coming to America 2 😂 wow that’s amazing.
Yes he was
Three legendary actors on stage honoring a legend in black cinema spike lee a historic moment in time
"But I was in rehab"
died at that part
+Daniel fountain "I was in rehab because I doing the research for 'Jungle Fever'" LOL!
Daniel fountain yes ! Yes ! HAHAHAHAHA!!
I enjoyed them up there together. I felt the brotherhood. It definitely inspires me as a creative with creative friends who are all working our ways to the top.
Wesley Snipes should’ve been in Black Panther
FK kroniiic Wesley Snipes tried to be Black Panther even before Blade, but Marvel was tripping....didn't want him to do it. Do your research.
Wesley woulda killed that role in Black Panther
@@humptydumpty5921 well damn.
@@humptydumpty5921 I know right
Ya think?🙄 AND THEY WOULDN'T EVEN NEED TO USE THAT MUCH MAKEUP!
This is hilarious!! I love how Samuel L. Jackson says he called me but I was in rehab which worked out because I had done the research for the roll........haha!!
Who gonna watch this in 2019?
2020
Yeah I'm part of the 2020 Class here😎😘😍🎇✨🎆😘
2020!!!!!
😂 I'm watching it in 2020
Wesley Snipes is hilarious!
They seriously need to cast Wesley for some type of role in Black Panther 2
He can't he's already Blade lol
@@aaronbohannon9468 not anymore
well, now he may have a chance 😒
FOR REAL, FOR REAL!!
I think Denzel had a little heat when he said..."Tyler Perry don't call me." LOL
word he said spike was first lmao
@@daveinwright643 better to acknowledge that than not. 🙌🏼
Denzel keeps it 100, all day err'day.
christine n emphasis on ERRRRR DAY
That's that Brooklyn in yo face honesty!! Luv it!
Yes, Three Great Black Actors together
LeMec Mortel and Morgan freeman fantastic actor
LeMec Mortel. Why must we say that they are Black actors. Does anyone refer to Tom Cruise as the White actor? Race has nothing to do with it. They are great besides Wesley Snipes. He is a tool. Snipes knows what I mean. Don't disrespect your fan base that put you on top because now you are reaping what was sown.
Denzel Washington Ma favorite actor at all times 👍🏿
Touche! Such class!
Now this is gooood chocolate. Brothas lovin one another. Stop the hate folks.
Black Excellence all up and down that stage!
The Three Kings. Imagine them in one movie!
They were in one movie. Mo' Better Blues (1990)
....
Ya'll watch too much movies, get back to real life!!🧐
The only 2 other Black Actors missing from this class is Lawrence Fishburne & Morgan Freeman
Nah they were set Morgan Freeman is highly overrated & Lawrence Fishburn isn't shit without Angela Bassett
Yup....and Laurence was in Spike's 'School Daze'
Surprisingly, Morgan Freeman apparently has actually never worked with Spike Lee. Never been in any of his movies.
bigkev3184 Samuel L. Jackson wasn’t in any of the Death Wish movies. You’re thinking of Laurence Fishburne in Death Wish 2.
Forrest Whitaker ??
3 classy brothers paying tribute to a 4th. Don't get better than this. Thankyou Gentlemen.
Lol. Wesley you nailed it with the African accent. Really priceless. Love y’all
Don't call me Tyler Perry, don't you call me! lmao 😂
word that was funny
😂😂😂
Very beautiful to see those three big actors in the same scene making jokes and talking from the heart about a great directors. Thanx a lot for the share.
A "Mo Better Blues" reunion!
I got so damn excited when I saw them 3 on stage I just new they was gonna announce they was going to be in a movie together Man they gotta
Wesley Snipes well done true actor
This is the blackest moment I’ve seen since Civil Rights.
I love that. Three Legends honoring a legend.
Jesus!
I'm from Africa and this is spot-on👌👌👌👌👌
The 3 of them need to be in a movie together.. Either comedy or expandable style.. that would be amazing...
You late mo better blues was the movie all four wasin
@@danzieltaylor6394
Thank you for replying and I didn't know that. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@misslanapford9169 oh yeah it came out in the early 90 or later 80,s I can't recall
Black Men Are So Beautiful!!
Indeed they are!💋💋💋❤❤❤
This comment is so random.....😂
Indeed I love My Brothers ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
INDEED
Aww your sweet we get downtrodden alot so we really appreciate pick me ups like so thank-you so much you beautiful soul
If they would of brought in Laurence Fishburne, that stage would of been on fire.
Yes
Red Visitor it would have to be a John Singleton tribute
zahir simmons Fishburne was in School Daze Spike's earlier work
Red Visitor yes another brother
same thing I said
Wesley snipes just casually reminded the kids... He is much more than Nino Brown and Blade!! Its funny many people forget Wesley was the first and last real Black Action-film star with the keys to hollywood... Then the IRS came knocking!! Sam L Jackson is a legend along with Denzel and the kids regard them as such..
But i don't think millenials can grasp How big Wesley used to be..... in context He was the Black Van Damme with a much better acting range!! Wesley is above Will smith and all the others in terms of Black Action film stars by far.. I hope we remember to put him up in the Mount Rushmore of black actors along with Morgan freeman and the likes.
KingSweat TV could not have said it better...
KingSweat TV damn straight
Yes Wesley is very talented
💯 Wes is so so underated, because of what he went through. I grew up watching him, before blade and he is leagues above and beyond Will Smith
^^^ This absolutely I concur. Wesley is woefully underrated.
When u gotta do a presentation in front of the class with your 2 best friends xDD
