Chris Rock explains why he teamed up with Questlove for new movie and not Rza

[Sir Artsdradamus]

he's not saying he wanted to team up with Rza, he's just using him as an example.


How did you two team up for Top Five?

Rock: I love [Questlove]. First, he's a good guy; second, he's a fabulous musician; and most importantly, you can find him. I remember [Jim] Jarmusch telling me stories about Ghost Dog, "Every now and then I had to meet RZA [who did the music for the 1999 movie] at a White Castle in the Bronx and he'd give me a DAT tape." I'm too old to be going to White Castles in the Bronx at four in the morning.

Great anecdote. Bet that doesn't happen anymore.

Also reminds me of that J-Zone song which discusses 'Le Chateau Blanc'

I wanna see Chris Rock's Top 5 movie that came out today but I'm gonna wait for it to come to video. My woman Gabrielle Union is in the movie as Chris wife. I can't believe Chris becomes interested in Rosario Dawson in the movie because Gabrielle is hot but her character seems like a stuck up golddigging bitch from the previews I've seen LOL. Rosario's hair is ugly in the movie LOL. She's cute though but not cuter than Gabrielle. Cedric The Entertainer, Kevin Hart, Tracy Morgan are also in this and Chris directed it. This is Chris 3rd time directing a movie. He also directed Head Of State with Bernie Mac(RIP)and Robin Givens and I Think I Love My Wife with Kerry Washington. 5th State if you haven't seen I Think I Love My Wife, check it out because Kerry wears some sexy clothes in it. I've never seen her wear clothes like that and her body looked good.


If I was a movie director and I wanted a music artist to do music for my movie, I wouldn't choose Questlove or The RZA hahahahahahahahahaha. Black movie soundtracks aren't good anymore and haven't been good since the 90's.

[check two]

Why are the previews for Top Five on TV only 3 seconds long? It doesn't even show what it's about.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
unless islord summons you

[THE MASON]

the idea of jim jaramusch meeting rza at a white castle in the Bronx at 4am is classic.

I can only wonder what was said at those meetings, RZA being on pcp and all.

[UNCLE RUCKUS]

That top 5 is an awesome movie.

[CharlesJones]

You saw it Uncle Ruckus? My mom's sister in Cleveland told me she saw it and she didn't like it. She said she wasn't laughing and she said she only liked Cedric The Entertainer's character. I wanna see it but I'm gonna wait for it to come to video.

[Luz]

Has Chris Rock heard Wu Tang music lately? These days he'd be meeting RZA at a juice bar in Beverly Hills.

RZA's soundtracks have been ill

[claaa7]

yeah RZA's really ill with the soundtracks imo... the "Ghost Dog" stuff is classic, and the stuff for "Afro Samurai" blows my mind.. the first volume of that was insane on CD/LP too, while #2 had some extremely strong moments. both sounded fantastic in the actual movie/series though.. the stuff he did for "Man With The Iron Fists" was phenomenal too
