Cool!
He should find a country that is less racist and oppressive. Perhaps he can find his utopia elsewhere on this planet.
I seriously doubt it though...

Yep, I saw him at the Improv quite a few years ago, and would never go again.

The Oscars are a bunch of over paid narcissists giving attention to other over paid narcissists.

I usually watch music concerts on UTube instead of TV ... more tytz less shoot-em-ups

I was sitting around a bonfire drinking beer.

WHO CARES?

Still remember the days when class prevailed and Bob Hope, Billy Crystal, Johnny Carson, etc. were the hosts.

I'm confused, is The Weeknd not a black guy? He was nominated for an Oscar so saying there were no black people nominated is blatantly false. http://oscar.go.com/news/nominations/the-weeknd-gets-oscar-nomination-for-earned-it

I thought Chris' routine was kind of funny as he basically roasted Hollywood most all of whom I don't really care for.

So his momma named him after her favorite drug?

Rock is his surname, taken from the paternal side

FYI

So...blacks are LESS than 14% of US population...fact

90% + NBA, what? 60% NFL, maybe 40% MLB...at least 40-50% TV and Movie actors...99% rap millionaires

WHERE THE F... is The racism? on the part of whites?

It was a few yrs back but Fox was nominated or/won for Django unchained and said " what a great part I got to kill a bunch o' white folks"

He wasn't pissed off.:huh He was laughing during most of his segments. I thought it was a hilarious monologue.

His comedy is based off of this type of work. 1990s and all that

I did watch Lady Gaga and that was a WOW, then turned it off, I could really care less. Having said that, "SOME" actors have fabulous talent and I appreciate it, and they deserve a nice fat bank account, but not to the extreme levels that they now enjoy. Rap stars are another multi millionaires for WHAT, great lyrics, but sometimes nice beat.

If you could care less, then go for it
