What’s Got Chris Rock So Upset?

Sandra Rose March 31, 2010

Everybody’s talking about this new video spoof by comedian Chris Rock called “Crackers” which has the potential to create quite a stir once folks realize that he’s not singing about thin, crispy wafers.

The song is a takeoff on Outkast’s mega hit “Hey Ya” — and we think we know why he did it.

Peep the tweet below by Tichina Arnold who played the young Chris’ mother on the popular show ‘Everybody Hates Chris’.

Did you know that the show was canceled? I had no idea. So maybe this is why Chris made the video as a subliminal diss to the network for canceling the show unexpectedly.

On the other hand, maybe Tichina Arnold and Terry Crews got the big head from all the positive press and great ratings and decided they were worth decidedly more cash than the network was willing to dish out.

Being greedy will get your show canceled in a hot minute.

What fan of the show didn’t know it was canceled…? The last episode was when Chris dropped out of school. Who really thought the show was still on?????

OMG! Today must be the slowest news day ever!!
The Original MsG

I thought everyone knew it was cancelled.
nika405

Sandra you are the one who didn’t know! Duh…
The Original MsG

Furthermore Sandra, Terry & Tichina ain’t bothering nobody, so you need to hush creating gossip. I met Terry not to long ago with his wife Becky and they both were so sweet and seemingly humble for the attention.
Those people are just tryin to stay employed like the rest of us.

Did anybody watch the video? I’m wiping tears from my eye….
MissGauzzz

@VIBABY…yeah i can see the video and it is hilarious!! hahahah! that’s my husband’s all time favorite word for THEM!!

Everyone knows this show was cancelled. Chris even said it himself last year that the show will end around the same time he dropped out of school and got into comedy. We knew the show would be cancelled when the C(oloreds) W(ithheld) moved his show and that other show to Fridays.

@ not talking about thin crispy wafers I this show…….I actually didn’t start watching it until it went into syndication

Anyone hear that Monica album sold 184,000….that’s a good job right?

:ROFL: that was the funniest ISH of the day!!!! CLASSIC!!!
FloridaChick813

@ therapist –

thats very good!

However I dont really like the album. But music usually has to grow on me, so we’ll see.
nika405

@therapist911 yes it did “favor ain’t fair (c) Daisy, but someone must not be in a postive post mood today! #teammonica
LaTechGrad02

That video was funny. It won’t cause a stir, Chris Rock is a comedian. He was doing his job.
nika405

I would like to see Usher’s numbers next week because that album was booty!

Flo & Nika

Yeah it’s a good solid album.

SN: Usher album surprised me….it’s pretty good

Using context clues, i’m going to assume booty isn’t good? LOL

I thought it was good *shrugs* but I like Here I stand too
bigtyme

love the show, never looked at it until syndication, but i am glad i discovered it.

Sandra, you don’t want to see anyone do well do you? Every post today is a negative one

Not just hater negative, but content negative.
CivilEngineer

OMG Everybody Hates Chris is cancelled I just can’t go on (hand across forehead) That show was so entertaining no wonder it had those 2 seasons

Read sarcasm….

Civil, Just be strong! The TV Gods don’t put more on you than you can’t handle

NO, Sandra…being black will get your show cancelled in a hot minute:coffee:
Sindy

Once the show got moved to Friday it was a done deal. It had nothing to do with Tichina or Terry wanting more money. How can you suggest that when it’s obvious Sandra your’e the last to Know the show got canned.
nika405

@therapist911 yes booty means bad lol. I just wasn’t feeling it at all, maybe three good songs and they will end up being singles or already are, then the Autotune just put the nail in the coffin!
FloridaChick813

:lolol: @ Civil

@ therapist – I love that song! “daddys home”
CivilEngineer

@Read…I know it’s all in His hands. This is just so troubling

I’ve had Usher’s album for about a month (I mean since yesterday ) I’m not really into it. It’s better than Here I Stand but he’s trying really hard to remain relevant. When did he start cursing on tracks???
kwall

Well I kinda figured it was cxl’d when Terry and Becky popped up on BET with a reality show…
KrayZKat

I also didn’t start watching the show until syndication. I love this show.

@nika….I gotcha. Iguess different strokes for different folks.

Hell I like Beyonce most people want her to sit her azz down. So I feel you
chocolatedrop

OMG that video was HILARIOUS! i’m actually starting to like Chris Rock more and more lol
honeygrahm

LMAO at “I’m just being honest”
AWESOME ARSENAL

been knew the show was over. i didn’t catch it until it was in syndication though. my whole family likes that show and it actually addressed some issues that i could identify with being that i grew up in the city in neighborhoods similar to the show. i think it had potential to be this generation’s huxtables. way better than than tyler perry garbage
Nupe4Life

LMBAO @ “Shake ’em like they called you a N****”!! Chris is hilarious!!
CivilEngineer

@therapist…I like Bey but she should take a break and come back with some REAL R&B music! I had my iPod on shuffle one day and “Speechless” came up…I forgot she could do “urban” songs
http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

@Sandra, do you like the Dr. Oz Show?

Sidebar: I love BET’s The Family Crews Show.
Ms.kaylamomma

I still watch the reruns. I this show.

Hey everybody! Hope you had a good day.
CivilEngineer

@AWESOME…now how can you come for TP like that?? They’ve had 100+ episodes of House of Payne already. That’s TALENT…that show is so WELL WRITTEN and ACTED it’s ridiculous. I find myself all wrapped up in it

(Sorry, I only have sarcasm for ya today)
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

That’s my girl Sandra. Always speculating in error. First you got Erykah Badu with a fake booty and green screen and now authorities are investigating her little stunt and conisidering charges. Some green screen that was. Now you all kinds of wrong on this. The cancellation of Everybody Hates Chris was announced months before it happened. The problem is many people didn’t watch it or The Game until they went into syndication. People had never even heard of the shows. Many people think the syndicated shows are new. Too bad they didn’t support when it was important.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CIVIL!!!!! (mmmhwaw!! smack smack) that’s me blowing you kisses, cause I’m so devastated!! So as soon to be E-Hubby…do you…uhmmm…get counseling or any Shyte like that?
CivilEngineer

Hey Ms kay!!!!
GirlBlue

When a white person drops a video called Niggers, blacks better keep their mouths shut. This vid was totally unacceptable, if Chris Rock was upset about his show getting the can, he could has chosen a different route. This is insanity…
CivilEngineer

Hey GG…counseling for??
Ms.kaylamomma

@ggouch, you’re going to need you a e-lawyer in here pretty soon. Crime: cyber stalking and sexual harrassment. Now if I have to ask you how your adult party was again…

Heyyyy Civil, nice pic!
Krysi J

WOW…………….!!!! I don’t know who pissed him off, but Im glad he got his reality check……Obama gets his everyday.
CivilEngineer

@Ms Kay & THANKS!

Now what party??? Adult? Like a fund (sp.) party?
Krysi J

However I dont really like the album. But music usually has to grow on me, so we’ll see.

——————————————————–

I hope you find something to do with that cd….I tried to tell you FLO but NOOOOoooo you know us FLORIDIANS usually see eye to eye on thangs…

@Civil….u know I don’t like that “urban” word in terms of describing something “black”. LOL

Speechless was a good song. However I didn’t like it until I saw her perform it live at her concert. FIYAH

See I don’t want her to take a break. I like Pop Music especially when a R&B influence. I have Fantasia and Key Co for my “urban” (if u can’t beat them join them) R&B music.

@speak…I’ve been known as an e-whore in the past but I prefer to “share” my love
http://www.thesifirm.com securityone

Trust that Cris Rock is making more money with the show being in syndication than he did when it was T.V. every week. Producers make more money in syndication deals. Hopefully Tichina and Terry’s managers worked out syndication deals for them, before they took the roles because you can’t do it after the show is canceled…just ask Gary Coleman.
DivaPT

why do i feel like im in the twilight zone i this show was cancelled over a year ago and the tweet and this post makes me feel like im reliving 2009
CivilEngineer

Oops sorry Sandy!

@therapist…I agree with you but she’s gotten a little too far away from the R&B/Pop music to just completely mainstream songs.

And Keyco’s last album was NOT the biz!!

@Civil….gotcha bruh. GEII is the best. Gonna go with Strawberry Kiwi Breeze for myself

And @GG…so it was coed also huh?! (Kanye rant in 5 4 3 2…)
Ms.Everything

I can’t see the video but I loved the show. It was one of the few primetime shows I could actually watch with my kids and as everybody else said the show got cancelled because it was a successful black comedy on a white network that didn’t involve sex, drugs, violence and actually showed working class blacks in a positive yet still humorous light. Truth be told, it was better than 90% of the other shows on that network and YT couldn’t handle it hence the move to Fridays
http://oneperfectassistant.com ggouch

yes…IKE!! it was co-ed!!!

chris dropped out of school? funny. i think the last episode i watched was the halloween episode and the off brand candy or something. the show had it’s moments, but it was never cut out to be on for 100 or more episodes.

some shows really have a life span of 2-3 years at best. there’s a market for it i’m sure.
DownSouthZeta

Maybe he created this video because he has a movie coming out on the 16th?
Ms.Everything

@ Point you do have a point about the life spans of some shows but with the writers they had they could have taken the show much further. I mean how many white shows revolving around high school with mediocre ratings have been carried through college and beyond? The networks just dont believe that there is a big enough market for black sitcoms anymore especially with the addition of reality shows
jsquare

Actually, this video was made in 2004. It was just now released. So, it has nothing to do with the TV show. Nice try, though.

Y’all know damn well most black TV shows don’t last long anymore….

This isn’t new, Chris Rock made “Crackers” song and video over 4 years ago.
