Funny man Chris Rock appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s show this afternoon to promote his upcoming documentary, Good Hair. The film focuses on hair care within the Black community. Later, Solange pops up too. Carter-Knowles are runnin’ this talk show shit.





I'm down for good music for a good cause but this ain't the case. The homie Sha from MTV hit me with a question yesterday I dreaded goin' on the record about: How do I feel about hip-hop artists being included in the "We Are The World" remake? Geez, I guess we've come long way since 1985. I don't think you could do it any other way than include our culture which is the pulse of pop culture. But instead of feeling any type of validation, I feel disgust. Seriously, a complete remake of the original song? Celine Dion gettin' her Cyndi Lauper on? Lil Wayne as Bob Dylan? Fuck outta here. Didn't I see Will.I.Am in the flicks? They could gave that nigga an hour plus a pen and a pad and I'm sure he'd come up with something cheesy for no small fee but for free. I'm truly scared to hear what the final product is gonna sound like. Are we really gonna hear the soothing vocals of Nipsey Hussle in the final mix? Highly doubt it. Damn, it's the thought that counts but this just doesn't feel right. Shame on a couple of legendary nuhs named Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. MJ is turning over in his oxygen tank.
You know you done fucked up, don't you? You know it, don't you? You know you done fucked up.
the carter-knowles’ have a season pass to Oprah we see
can’t believe I’m leaving a hair comment on rap radar…. but here goes:
How is oprah okay with weaves/relaxers/jheri curls but nto okay with the word Nigga?
Hypocritical.. there are valid arguments against the use of both.. and it all goes back to black pride.
And now, I’m off the creamy crack & needle. I’m happier.. taking it one day at a time with my real hair… if you want a white girl, you better go find one..*shrugs*
Um doesnt Chris Rock use “nigga” in his stand-up how is that different? Oprah, Oprah, Oprah smh

“How is oprah okay with weaves/relaxers/jheri curls but nto okay with the word Nigga?”
NIGGA was used to degrade and belittle an entire race. Weaves, relaxers, etc.. are not used to degrade an entire race.. I think the question CR is asking is why are black women going to such extremes to have mainstream accectable hair…
thanks for this rip, and thanks for ripping the whole thing
Couldn’t find the whole episode anywhere else. Thanks
that is not my mother

It’s funny that the neither the show nor the documentary talks about the REAL meaning of good hair–which is hair that is loosely coiled, long and/or silky NATURALLY. The more your hair is closer to that NATURALLY, the better your hair. Perms and weaves are black women’s last resort of getting it. However, good hair is something we use to describe hair in it’s natural state; perms and weaves are for those who don’t have this type of hair, so they buy it off the shelve–as a box of chemicals or a pack of remy indian.
How can you know that the documentary doesn’t talk about it? I thought it wasn’t out yet.
