Part 9: • Carl Jones on Him & Aa...
--------
Carl Jones talked about the creative tensions behind the animated series, "The Boondocks." After working together on three seasons, Aaron McGruder and Carl had a fall-out, which marked the climax of the series in season three. The catalyst for the disagreement was a problematic episode featuring Vlad. However, it subsequently emerged that the deeper issue was Aaron's concerns about Carl's ability to balance working on both "The Boondocks" and the "Black Dynamite" pilot, which Carl had been developing independently. Despite Adult Swim's efforts to reconcile the pair for a fourth season, Aaron refused to concede, and Carl was also excluded from the new season. The fallout between Aaron and Carl left the fourth season in disarray, and ultimately marked the downfall of "The Boondocks."

@vladtv Almost look like Tyler Perry!
Nigga you ended the Boondocks? Oh yo ass is definitely canceled
Nah Vlad must be stopped. Coaxing rappers into snitching on themselves is one thing, but his involvement in the downfall of the Boondocks is simply unforgivable.
Don’t blame vlad. They grown asf. They easy could of said no comment
boondocks was the best show ever made had limitless potential. Vlads transgression should be comparable to the Holocaust of black entertainment. We been in the dark ages since
@@Antiblackviolenceshut up lil nigga. How many times have we heard of vlads mingling within the black community causing havoc time and time again. It's clear that Vlads presence in the hip hop community leeching off people's fame and success stirring controversy after controversy that man is not innocent.
@@sjmusic4886 yo mama
facts!!!!!!!!!! this Whiteman fucking up everything..and created the beef dvds
So it’s Vlads fault we got no more Boondocks….. got it..
That’s literally the only thing you wanted to hear
@@tristinhall1275Vlad is that you?
@@SubRaiderno it’s a nigga that actually watched the full video before they commented
@@SubRaiderlisten to everything he said
@@YOPTV937bruh who hurt you? Lmap
I knew Vlad was a instigator, but to find out he instigated the downfall of The Boondocks probably makes him the most diabolical vicious instigator of all time. Thanks Vlad, Smh...
A râcist & an admirer so basically he's a håter
@@kendraseer5198 i wonder all the time if Vlad is secretly the biggest racist. like CIA level.
Charleston White would've been a good character in the boondocks
You wouldn't even need uncle ruckus at that point
@thaatruthseeker3725 Naw, we need both of em 🤣🤣. Remember Uncle Ruckus don't like niggas, CW screams that he is one 😂
@@thaatruthseeker3725yes we would not even close
@@thaatruthseeker3725 Charleston White is no uncle Ruckus
Facts
BRO THE BOONDOCKS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE AS BIG AS FAMILY GUY AND THE SIMPSONS!! All I heard was is it’s Vlad fault
Would have been bigger I swear
@@brittonhansle4524no it wouldn't
It would've been nice if it was as big as South Park (I'm pretty sure South Park is valued more than Family Guy and Simpsons).
@@sharonjo7630 Simpsons is more iconic
@@datniggaeazye.5968 both south park and Simpsons are iconic. Let's not even go there.
"You let a J*w break up my crew!"

Aaron Mcrgruder who is a genius strikes me to be socially awkward.
Ya he is
he’s a genius that’s very particular. Problem with that is that it takes a lot of time which is rough for animation production
Most geniuses are
Can't have one without the other it seems bruh.
@@bobbey8149 facts bruh
Glad: what happened?
Carl: YOU happened
Season 3 was incredible and Season 4 was terrible!!!!!! You could feel the exits heavy!
Season 4 was so bad. Not creative or thoughtful. Low level humor that appeal to low I.Q dudes only.
They weren’t terrible but definitely not as good as the first twp
It wasn't terrible....it was god awful.
@@8997024 mannnn it was terrible…….the comedy style was completely different…the themes were all over the place…I don’t think i l iked one episode…i havent watched it since it aired on tv
Only good episode was The freedom riders. It was the only written like season 3.
Vlad is the reason Damon dash and Jay-Z broke up
lol
Nah that’s TK Kirkland fault😂
@@biggang8602I’m really surprised TK isn’t already here making the same claim 😂😂
This dude has the voice and mannerisms of John Salley.
Less high, but he does have those mannerisms
Damn… now i want Fleece Johnson to give Vlad THE BEATS for sure now! 😡
Lmao
Vlad I wants ya booty
😂😂😂
💯🤣
He'll give him the MEAT instead... remember Fleece is the booty warrior
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Aaron didn't hire enough people to get the episodes pushed out. We should have had at least 7 seasons.
Right & he wrote every single Episode💐
Facts
i mean thats why its was such quality. but at some point u gotta finda balance
Okay but realistically, what would those next 3 seasons have looked like without granddad? Maybe it's for the best the show ended with some dignity. S4 was mid but the next few could've been much worse.
It's funny because I thought season 4 was it's weakest season.
It was trash 😢
Well now we know why. Neither Aaron or Carl were apart of it.
It was dumpster fire trash
Because it was
It sucked
This brother was involved in a lot of top tier animation. I love Black Dynamite as much as The Boondocks. I didn't care for Black Jesus so much 😢
why didn't black dynamite last more seasons. i never watch it
@@blakex2699 IDK 😐 It's very funny 🤣
Yea black Jesus didn’t really hook me, but I tried
Black Jesus was iconic imo, RIP CHARLIE MURPHY
Blk Jesus was Avg because Slinks just soso funny....... But for some reason they chose him for that role....... He not really that funny. 👈👈👈👈
Season 2 was the best. You can see the show begin to shift in season 3... Which wasn't bad, but it begins to display the worst qualities we saw in season 4.
I didn't like the art direction in season 3
@@TheTruth-mv7hm fr tho 💯 It was TOO detailed
Me personally I liked season 1 the best. It was faithful to the comic strips
@@RayFreeman-gb9cc I kinda liked how they went out of the box with that in S2...
Season 3 was good. Season 4 was a precipitous drop
Everytime I hear dude talk I just think about thugnificant 😂
"What the f*ck you got to eat in this b*tch, nigga!?"😂😂😂
Lethal Interjection 😊
For the first time ever Vlad ACTUALLY is involved in a story this must be a dream come true
That ain't nothing to be screaming or bragging about smh
The destruction of black culture
Everybody in the comments blaming Vlad is hysterical 😂😂
Not Vlad being involved in our fav animation going downhill! lol crazy! This is the worst thing he did to black culture lol
@@klopl100seems like it was arron fault
@@dmetriusmarchNigga it was his show
Basically the person who created Boondocks also killed it 🤦🏿♂️
Damn
Vlad did it
HBO Max that did it.
Boondocks should be season 12 right now or some shit. This is BS Vlad
What did he do to make them niggas that mad? 🤔 lol
Idk
😂😂😂
Alot of people won't get this😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s nice to finally get some insight into what went down. It’s too bad Aaron doesn’t really do interviews though cuz I’d love to hear his perspective. If the root of the issue was really that Carl wanted to work on something else while still working on the Boondocks then Aaron comes off as an asshole.
It seem like Carl and Aaron had a nigga moment on the phone🤣🤣🤣
@@HidanVenomLOOOOOOOL 😭😭😭
Then add that he refused to squash it not even for financial gain.
Aaron is gifted but he’s definitely an asshole, you don’t create the cynical ass characters he did without that being an inherent part of himself.
@@GandolfdaBlaqyou can. We haven't even heard Aaron's side of the story and y'all already making shit up
As a genius Aaron was…. It looks like he was a pain to work with and was a super micro-manager
Stop being a bich bro. Get out your damn feelings.
But what did we get? One of the best creative works in the animation industry. You can't replicate something so iconic with someone else just writing and making shit up like in season 4. we wouldn't be talking about the boondocks right now if it weren't for Aaron. So yeah, him being a micromanager might have been bad and all but his impact has been great.
Unfortunately that's the cost of being a very talented artist. Look up Stanly Kubrick and you'll see how he was difficult to work with but his work is timeless. Like the comment above me said might of been bad but the results over shadows the bad.
It sounds like he's a perfectionist. It kinda makes sense, The Boondocks was a unique show for black society, and it went from being a comic strip to a hit TV show in less than a decade. I think he just wanted to see his vision through, the only way he knew how.
VladTV: destroying lives since 2007 😂
That's wild. Aaron used Vlad as an excuse to be pissed off, when really he was mad at Carl for the Black Dynamite pilot.
Sounds like he was on a control trip and went on a suicidal career route.
Aaron does seem like the awkward emo type… so this definitely sounds believable
He not at all tho 😂😂
Facts
Vlad will be known for now on as the boondockskiller
This sounds worthy of a boondocks episode itself🤣🤣
The "Dick riding Obama" song was the song of the year when i was in middle school 😭😂
In surprised Vlad hasn’t told this story 20x by now
He gon start now 😂
Wait😂😂
He does always mention being on that episode lol
Shit how can he when he always talking about going out to Atl for the party wit big Meech
@@blakeog2034I think the op meant that they're surprised that vlad doesn't mention how he's possibly part of the reason the show ended.
Black Dynamite ended up being solid too. Carl wanting to spread made sense
Facts
Carl wanting to spread is wild 😂
@@StoneyJames I don't know where the rest of 'spread his wings' went 😅
Vlad low key is the reason for a lot of beefs with this gossip show. His name doesn’t just pop up for nothing. Remember that
@jaystacks5249 Word. I remember he was really trying to get boosie to say something bad about tyrese. Even when boosie shook it off, Vlad kept pushing for a response
I hate hearing him and Aaron even had any Beef..... 👈👈👈
That's the first bad thing I ever heard about Aaron Mcgruder. So it's his fault why Boondocks ended. Over jealousy? Or he thought Carl was going to leave? Smh
It may not have been jealousy. It sounded to me like Aaron was concerned that Carl wouldn't be able to keep bringing his A game to the Boondocks if he did side projects. Whether or not it was a justifiable concern, he could've approached it better by offering Carl a raise in exchange for the increased demands on his time.
Aaron strikes me as real bitch made 😂
fuck ya that’s a true creator
Nah, he's just a creative person who had to deal with business to achieve his true vision.
Creative people tend not to enjoy business, but we have to do it to ensure our creations reach their maximum potential.
@@improbablyyourdad8458 no that is not always true im pretty sure a lot of rappers or entertainers do not enjoy business that deals with a mainstream level of audience
@@improbablyyourdad8458 oh sorry i thought yu said artist tend to emjoy business, great point
naw exploiting the underbelly of black culture is trash... they dont do it with anyone elses culture.
Aaron seems like a weird dude. It sucks cause usually the geniuses always are socially messed up
I never seen Aaron McGruder this my first time hearing of him and I 100% know he's light skinned
This is not him
All tht hard work clearly shows , The boondocks will always be a timeless piece of art...Everyone involved is appreciated.
It was evident in season 4 that they had nothing to do with it
I thought it was season 3, but it was season 4 that I couldn't be bothered to watch.
@@sharonjo7630sameee
This one of my favorite interviews love the boondocks
Season 1 was the best season as it’s the closest to the comic strips. Season 2 and 3 were an entirely different show to me compared to one. Of course there were still episodes like “The Story of Gangstalicious 2”, “The Hunger Strike”, and “It’s a black president, Huey Freeman” but the show was more comedic and had a comedic way of portraying its messages compared to season 1.
Wrrrd! As somebody who was reading the Boondocks comics even as far back as 6 year old, watching the show as an adult is tonal whiplash going from Season 1 to 2, 3, and 4. Some characters just made for the show, other characters like Ceasar never being seen or heard from again, there was so much missed potential.
More comedic? So they were funnier? And that made them worse somehow? Please make it make sense! 😖
@@kevthepoet For one I never said it was worse; I said it was “an entirely different show” which it was and they didn’t continue to explore the themes of the first season and comic strips. The show took a more comedic look on the hypocrisy in the black community contrasted by the introspective look on it in the first season. Comedy watered down the themes of the first season but made for a more appealing show. People don’t even mention the first season of the show anymore unless it’s commenting a funny scene. This dynamic was caused by comedic tone of the later seasons.
@@CIavisthe first season is by far my favorite.
@@someskinnydude100 Im glad you enjoyed season 1 just as much as myself. I’d also recommend you to a youtuber named “The Storyteller” I don’t know if he posts anymore but for a good two year stretch he was my favorite introspective black creator.
I'm 5th he sounds like jai white
Vlad the reason why Cube left NWA
Lol glad he said pause that was crazy! 😆🤣🤣
I remember I used to watch "tube steak" skits and didn't know Carl was a voice/drew the boondocks until way later. Man is a black all star
Is this the homie tube steaks??😂😂😂
Greatest animated series EVER. I watch The Boondocks every night when I go to sleep
"im a care bear nygga...you was NEVER there nygga!!!" LMAO
Hol'up! This Tubesteak? Mann brings back hilarious memories from the early days of RUclips
So Aaron was being passive aggresive towards Carl and comes off as a control freak. I would love to hear Aaron give his side of the story.
Season 3 of boondocks was my favorite, every episode was a classic
Vlad is the reason why the Wayne brothers left the scary movie franchise
Thumbnail looks like “part 81” 😂
Locking up our people .... and now ending black shows . Lmao !!!
That's not funny. It's actually a shame.
Vlad the you doing youish shit to our people
Except that all the real GS he interviews all say Vlad ain't police
@@cycler4346gtfoh!! Real Gs don't go on Vlad because they know he's just a culture vulture that tries to get incriminating information out of people. Besides you wouldn't know a real Gs if one slapped you in the face.
Vlad loves to be the main character 😂😂
I'm tryin 2 tell U..
Boondocks was so generational it was really supposed to be 10 seasons or more 😢
This show is classic just wish we got more scenes
How you gon ask him a question then not let him answer before you cut him off I hate when you do that bruh
that shit annoy me for real at least give me a few seconds to think about it.why ask me the question if you already know the answer smdh.
That jacket bangin
Its so fly!
Nah Vlad gotta run my fade if he the reason the boondocks ended 😂
I stop the Michael blackson interview for this
3:11 Ayoooooooooooooooo 🤣🤣🤣
Now we know why season 4 of The Boondocks sucked....and season 2 of Black Dynamite was amazing
Working for adult swim and Comedy Central is like a 360 deal.
Damn Vlad hold this L
All jokes aside, it's unfortunate hearing that one side was willing to squash things and the creator chose not to smh. Love Boondocks forever ❤️
A lot of these guys are egotistical, they think they own other people.
You don't got nothing to do with what I do outside of work. That's crazy
Did the episode ever come out leaked or not?
Sooooo it’s Vlad fault 🤦🏾♂️
This man done gave like 9 different reasons for the show ending
I can't believe it Vlad ended boondocks this man is so integral to black culture it's crazy... Shout out to Vlad
intergal is not the word I would use
No he's not. And that's weird for a white person (you) to say something like that. You have no right to speak on our culture. Matter of fact you, and Vlad are culture vulture's.
“Integral to black culture” 🤣🤣🤣
You’re delusional if you think that!
I’m black and the Boondocks did not move the needle in the black community!
@@AskYoGirlY I know it's just tongue and cheek ⏸️
More like insidious
We lost boondocks because of black dynamite…… not even close to a fair trade
This sounds like Prince being mad at Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for producing other acts behind his back🤣
They went on to do great things with Janet.
Vlad is Glad the Boondocks got cancelled.
I pray everyday that the boondocks come back some way
What is Aaron doing now? Everything he's been announced as a part of something since the Boondocks has got cancelled or not another word said about it since the announcement.
When more than 10 people say the same thing you should start believing it DJ VLAD is the Problem
Indeed
Vlad messed up with the title of this. That's about it.
3:09 Bro 😭...
Vlad gotta get Aaron on now🗣
This dudes laugh has a really good comedic timing
See how Vlad does?? He don’t want credit for THIS, but he wants credit for anything else that will make him look good. See how he said the “vlads the reason the boondocks got canceled” in a mocking type way??? But doesn’t want people saying “oh Vlad loves taking credit for everything” when he attempts to.
He sounds like a narcissist
Aaron McGruder obviously couldn't handle having a show and the fame it brought him. He hasn't done much since except Red Tails.
He talked about how doing the daily strip was stressful.
I don't know if it was fame because he wasn't out there like that for it to be a reason.
It was probably the case that he was using his creativity to express his opinions and constant pushback, despite praise, got to him. That, and the fact that he seemed to be a perfectionist.
@@sharonjo7630 Yeh he was put in a position where he was never right no matter what stance he took
Thanks Glad 😡
Vlad u wild😂
Carl Jones is a good guy 🙂
They should make a Boondocks movie and get the entire cast that's living back. Get John Witherspoons son or Marlon Wayans to play Grandad, and have Eddie Murphy play Ed Wuncler.
No
they know they'll make bread but still wont do it
Damn…what a plot twist.
My GOAT cartoon show... ended like this shame thanks for the first 3 seasons the 4th nahhh
dammit vlad 😭 😂😂😂
Damn Vlad you just had it ruin my childhood 😂🤦🏽🤡
Vlad is part of the reason why boondocks ended. Damn.
“I don’t think I finished d riding Obama” is craazy!🤣
everyone saying it vlad fault did you listen or trolling. aaron had a massive ego it sound like and didn't want his employee to grow and do his own thing. this sometimes happen and the show is hard to do. but as long as he prove he can handle both responsibility then i be cool with him doing his own thing. ego is a bitch.
And he refuse to squash it not even for financial game. Smh
It always circles back to GLAD!
Why was boondocks so stressful and not the other shows like South Park and the Simpsons.
Cause niggas
So the Boondocks died cuz McGruder couldn’t get out his feelings??? Damn
There was supposedly a big blow up where they were getting things off their chest about each other, built up frustrations. Carl probably crossed a line in regards to what he said...or Aaron said something to Carl that was probably shrugged off. SOMEBODY got disrespected to the point of no return.
0:50 Now all i hear is Thugnificent 😆 🤣 😂
These interviews were amazing Carl
I need that jacket though...❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Its fire 🔥
