YOU GOTTA LOVE OUR PEOPLE, YOU REALLY DO!
You Gotta Love Our People, you really do! They find more excuses for their shortcomings & then convince themselves it is someone else’s fault. I can’t count the number of people I’ve met that have a script or project that was “written for me”. I only remember this because of the incident w/ the unnamed actor (whassup widdat?!). I did ask the actor, “Is this the nigga that doesn’t like you?”,& laughed. NC looked shocked! He sputtered something & tried to recover. The actor said it wasn’t like that & laughed, I left them standing there. Now here’s the thing, that ‘company was on board’, all I need to do is talk to the man, was never discussed after our first meeting! Even then, it was only NC saying he’d written this script for me to star in & someone was supposed to set up a meeting. It never happened! Bruthas bullshit bruthas all the time. I was just fucking w/NC’s head about the young actor. GUILT now rears it’s ugly head, as the audition story for adulthood was nothing like you said. That’s all good, but own it!! TWO YEARS later you’re still clinging to the lie you’ve created to justify your career stagnation. Move on Playa, we have!
BTW don’t be afraid to name names, as many people as you’ve apparently helped, it would surely elevate you in your readers eyes to know just how much you’ve contributed to the cultural landscape. Not to mention how many of us owe you a hand up, or at least a shout out at the BAFTAS!

So I don’t know how many of you know this but about a year and a half ago before 4.3.2.1 I was trying to set up a film for Samuel L Jackson to be in with me. I’d written it, film Company was on board and all that was needed was for me to meet the man and get talking to him.
It got set up, he…
