I don't usually fuck with Hot 97's interviews like that, but I have to Show Love for ya'll interviewing this Brother Nate Parker, been a fan of his for awhile, and ya'll conducted a Good Interview. Ya'll kept it respectful and stayed on Topic for the Most part. I appreciate the Video. Very Good Conversation. 👍👍
Director Nate Parker was so professional and cool on set everyday it was a pleasure to work with him continues success Nate continues success God Bless 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🎬🎬🎬🎬📽📽📽📽📽📽📽
Here's a solution to all my people that dislike "slave movies" which is clearly understandable. Purchase Birth of a Nation tickets and go view a different movie,this way we still support Nate Parker & The legacy of Nat Turner.
This is such an important film to come out. To come up with the funds to raise to make the movie himself is amazing as hell, to not allow anyone to STOP him putting this movie out, very courageous and inspiring, I hope we can see others like this ... Marcus Garvey an example of one.
the part of the interview where the descendent's of Nat Turner's slave owners give Nat Turner tours & no $$ is given to Nat Turner's actual family tells u everything u need to know......i remember in the 8th grade being given a paper of all these inventions that african americans invented such as streetlights, gas mask, sugar processing machine, etc (google all this shit lol)....& maybe 6 years later I was looking at a streetlight & I thought to myself "does the black family of that black inventor that created a streetlight get residual checks? I don't think they do, we would've heard of them like u about the Trumps or the Hiltons."
My thing is where the fuck is tyler Perry spike lee will smith with all the money they have made or connects they have. We really have a rugged individualsism probkem in the bc
This man owes nobody a explanation about his past . He was found not guilty in court and a lot of black man are being killed without a chance to be proven innocent. If you are a black person holding this over your his head shame on you . You praise the same white people who enslaved your ancestors. A lot of you have great grandparents with stories like Birth of A Nation. Don't be ignorant to bring up someone's past to blemish there accomplishments. Support the movie and the history they don't want to teach your black children about being strong and fighting back.
I can't wait to see "Birth Of A Nation".. F the critics... I'm a fan of "Nate Parker", his past is his past. The man was found not guilty of his previous convictions of many years ago. They tell minorities to respect and trust in our justice system... however it seems as if every time a man of color achieves any amount of success, it's extremely important to remind him of his dark past... EVEN if he is innocent.
Man I can't wait to see a big budget Nat Turner film. I get to kill a bunch of KKK members in Mafia III & get to see a Nat Turner movie all in the same month. God Bless October 2016.
Coward Black people always find a reason not to be a part of the revolution..... Blaming other Black people is easy. Standing against white supremacy is difficult.
This is not the slave movie you think it is. I saw it last night and it was uplifting and just all around good. Plus this is based on a real man's life not a white man's lies.
it really breaks my heart that our ppl can be so damn gullible. they bring out a rape ACCUSATION from 1999. something he was ACQUITTED FOR. i don't see how ppl refuse to see that this was to specifically attack Nate Parker and sabotage the film.
I'm going to check this movie out, even though I'm tired of these slave type movies... The thing that matters is the message, it's not about NATE Parkers life
I hear a lot of folks talk about being tired of slave movies. I totally feel them but I was thinking, I'm thinking this day in age...I don't look at slave movies as demeaning. I actually see how strong we had to be at that time. Our people were separated from our families, humiliated, men embarrassed in front of their women and children...all this stuff is hard to see, but imagine how strong our people had to be to overcome that. I feel they had a strength that we forgot about. So sometimes, I'm like to we need to see more of these movies? LOl. We are so complacent now a days and forgot how bad it REALLY was. That's the only reason I see these movies as still being necessary!
PLEASE don't associate the media bringing up his rape case because whites are being killed in the movie. They're two separate issues and he never fully addressed the very serious situation
it's not just people of color who struggle with systemic oppression; me and my mom in particular, feels like she must find someone to give her permission to do anything
this film will be a success, i don't know if it's necessarily NEEDED because even i... a young black man... knew about Nat Turner since i was like 12... what's more important is TODAY"S climate and how we are constantly feeding the fire... look at the trailer for that movie "Get Out".. it's like they want us to be paranoid, you can't let a wound heal if you keep picking at it.
I think people forgot how bad it was and we are completely complacent, which is why we are where we are. History is repeating itself. So I think we need to be reminded of how things really were!
Kimberli Myrick i feel where both of you are coming from but in general people just need to just be more socially conscious of one another, even within our own community and things will only get better. even we live and rule based upon hierarchy, so it's almost contradictory to scream equality. i'll definitely support but i have become torn by my communities self serving actions.
"Its never an option" How can anyone fix their mouth to talk to someone like that? I encourage learning about who your voting for before you vote. Learn then decide on your own.
my thing is this movie was made with black dollars. I get it though I didnt see free state of jones cuz of that white savior shit. But u and alot of bp loose site of the fact this movie was made with black money that can lead to other movies...
my thing is this movie was made with black dollars. I get it though I didnt see free state of jones cuz of that white savior shit. But u and alot of bp loose site of the fact this movie was made with black money that can lead to other movies...
Freshboi 2 I do support it. I just won't watch it. I bought tickets for my 2 teenaged nephews, that don't know about Nat Turner, to go watch it. I'm just done with Slavery movies. For me, the triumph will only be overshadowed by the countless evil acts.
the higher ups blackballed the hell out this movie!!! they made sure this movie didn't prosper smh... & like always black people are always falling for white America's tricks to keep us a sleep to the truth of our history. this movie is not even playing no more, shit nobody is not even talking about the movie any more or how it got blackballed by selling people the wrong tickets for the movie & lying telling people its soldout when its not smh.... & i've seen the movie myself & IT WAS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!! GREAT MOVIE. IDK WHEN BLACK PEOPLE GONE LEARN TO STOP FALLING FOR THIS WHITE SUPREMACIST TACTICS TO KEEP US ASLEEP SMH....
I love this movie, but what the #$@! do Gucci Mane and Two Chains have to do with Nat Turner?! Nothing!!!! That's a mixed metaphor and it doesn't work.
because young ppl love them. he was trying to appeal to younger crowds too, because as we all know, these two rappers can rap about how big their shit in the toilet was and these kids will still love them
GimmeABeat86 You know who else was raped? This man's victim. His friend who's a screenwriter for this movie was convicted for raping the victim. Nate Parker only got off because the law where this occurred used to state that when you give verbal consent, you give it indefinitely. How else did he not get charged but his friend spent time in jail when they both raped her the same night. Fuck this guy.
***** We just have hid quote from Ebony. Him saying that if he did what he did today (sleep with someone too intoxicated to verbally consent), that he'd be in jail. He got off on a technicality. Stop defending rapists man.
***** "It was a Variety article, but ,he's the link and quote “I think by today’s legal standards, a lot has changed with regards to universities and the laws in sexual assault,” he said. “I feel certain if this were to happen in 2016, the outcome would be different than it was. Courts are a lot stricter about this kind of thing. You don’t touch someone who is so intoxicated - period.” variety.com/2016/film/news/nate-parkers-accuser-committed-suicide-in-2012-her-brother-speaks-out-exclusive-1201838508/
the film looks wack, i hope its better than the trailer shows. its like a tv movie. its good to tell the story and i will watch it. trailers look terrible. but the film is about nat turner not nate parker and too much media coverage has not been about the actual movie.
it's crazy how this whole convo was on point but my bro voting for Hillary Clinton?the seemingly lesser of one evil won't help anything. I'm from norfolk fam, so I'm proud of you and your work, but the Clinton's are a huge part of our current prison industrial complex that you spoke on. Voting is crucial but only when we have a solid plan with a solid candidate,we should all focus locally. This presidential ish is all a joke, what has any president literally done for our babies?
Saw the movie and I wasn't impressed...kind of watered down and it needed better writing...very little in the movie dealing with the planning of the revolt...12 years a slave was a better film overall
![[TH] Esports World Cup : Grand Final](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sedbKhFYDMo/mqdefault.jpg)
Thumbs up if you're going to support the film in go see it
👍
I want too... but can't go to the movies... shame but gonna have to pirate this
Ascher Wilson why you can't go for? 😥
get real bad headaches in movie theater... I wound nt b able to enjoy the film...
thumbs up for dvd tho
+Ascher Wilson I understand I get like that sometimes too
The research of nat Turner sounds like a good documentary in itself
Dope interview, can't wait to see the movie!
I don't usually fuck with Hot 97's interviews like that, but I have to Show Love for ya'll interviewing this Brother Nate Parker, been a fan of his for awhile, and ya'll conducted a Good Interview.

feel exactly the same way👌
Director Nate Parker was so professional and cool on set everyday it was a pleasure to work with him continues success Nate continues success God Bless 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🎬🎬🎬🎬📽📽📽📽📽📽📽
I am an elder who saw this masterpiece of a movie twice. The Ancestors are pleased.
Great interview. Can't wait to see the film this weekend.
I admire Nate. He is so passionate about supporting his people but they couldn't support him at the box office. What a shame.
Nate Parker became immortal when he mad this movie
You can tell Laura disagreed with about not caring about Nate's past but was too afraid say anything
Here's a solution to all my people that dislike "slave movies" which is clearly understandable. Purchase Birth of a Nation tickets and go view a different movie,this way we still support Nate Parker & The legacy of Nat Turner.

i already know this interview is about to be flames. *birdman hand rub*
Crazy how Nate Parker is 36 and Rosenberg is 37 yet it looks like there's a 10 year age difference between them
Damn! Rosenberger doesn't take care of himself. He looks like Nate's older uncle.
This was a great interview
Damn, he 36. I thought he was like 23
laura just sits in all interviews fighting to stay awake she looks so sleepy all the time
I loved him in beyond the lights! Can't wait to see this one, Nat Turner is a legend.
RESPECT to Nate Parker.
you think he'll be able to bounce back after all this? I sure hope so. Pathetic how so many ppl fell into the propaganda trap.
blossom 22 Yes...independence can't be blackballed.
One of the Greatest 🎬🎥Movies to ever exist..
He should be a leader for our generation
this man said "i wasn't talking to the sky, I was talking to the LORDT"
looooooooooooool
it's a great film. ppl, especially black ppl need to support!!!
many of them don't want to based off a 1999 rape accusation smh. if that aint propaganda idk what is.
ebonydescent ^^exactly
When John P Kee started talking I was like "whoa listen to this brother!" lol. on a serious note, they have my full support!#757
the part of the interview where the descendent's of Nat Turner's slave owners give Nat Turner tours & no $$ is given to Nat Turner's actual family tells u everything u need to know......i remember in the 8th grade being given a paper of all these inventions that african americans invented such as streetlights, gas mask, sugar processing machine, etc (google all this shit lol)....& maybe 6 years later I was looking at a streetlight & I thought to myself "does the black family of that black inventor that created a streetlight get residual checks? I don't think they do, we would've heard of them like u about the Trumps or the Hiltons."
only white people would do some fuckery like that wow....
ola akande good information I will look unto
No because the slave owner would get the patent for it that's why we don't really get recognized for any of our inventions.
Ms Skyy or the $
Exactly... And people act like generational wealth isnt a factor in the racial divide still prevalent in today's economy... Smh
next i want a Hannibal of Carthage film
yes and thst will require like 100 mil
I heard that Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are trying to make it work. It will be great if they can make it!
My thing is where the fuck is tyler Perry spike lee will smith with all the money they have made or connects they have.
We really have a rugged individualsism probkem in the bc
I defiantly would love to see a Hannibal movie but the question is what will be the race of actor playing Hannibal in the movie?
***** Yes, they did. Search "Michael B. Jordan hope to lead film about Mansa Musa and Hannibal", you'll find it.
yo this interview was so dope
Definitely one if the better interviews I've heard concerning the movie!
Finally a great truthful interview! Can't wait to see this movie on Saturday.
Great interview!!
Wow !! Wonderful conversation! Thanks Ebro & rosenberg for having Nate on
This man owes nobody a explanation about his past . He was found not guilty in court and a lot of black man are being killed without a chance to be proven innocent. If you are a black person holding this over your his head shame on you . You praise the same white people who enslaved your ancestors. A lot of you have great grandparents with stories like Birth of A Nation. Don't be ignorant to bring up someone's past to blemish there accomplishments. Support the movie and the history they don't want to teach your black children about being strong and fighting back.
thank you. ppl, especially black folk are always falling for the propaganda. Love taking the bait.
Great dialogue. Great interview.
My dude Strand from fear.
Seen the movie and, I can't wait to buy it.
Make the Harriet Tubman story! Or Fredrick Douglass story! These are the movies needed for the diaspora!
GRINDxHUSTLE glad Harriet will be on underground
This film is important. They want to erase out history make us feel like we are nothing and we came from nothing .
I enjoyed this interview! Laura be wanting to chime in so bad sometimes lolol!!
great interview
Great interview..
I love Nate Parker it's so sad America still still has to try and stop us. they destroyed Nat Turner's body. And some how people find that ok
I agree brother!
I'm going to the first showing..#TeamNATEPARKER
This movie was so good.Great cast.Everybody did a great job.......#WizeCounselor
Wow!! Nate Parker.
Love the movie nate Parker 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
watching it Tonight!
Man Laura never adds anything to interviews
After this interview, I feel some type of way with Laura Stylez. She literally just SAT THERE. She possibly uttered 20 words! An her face said alot!
she's useless
Laura just chillin'
Tone Mashak idk what they're paying her for.
I can't wait to see "Birth Of A Nation".. F the critics... I'm a fan of "Nate Parker", his past is his past. The man was found not guilty of his previous convictions of many years ago.

you think he'll be able to bounce back after all this? I sure hope so. Pathetic how so many ppl fell into the propaganda trap.
I support Nate Parker and I am going to see the movie but I refuse to vote for Hillary or Trump!
why?
Man I can't wait to see a big budget Nat Turner film. I get to kill a bunch of KKK members in Mafia III & get to see a Nat Turner movie all in the same month. God Bless October 2016.
congrats 👍
Oh my God.
deep
I love how he dismiss his actions in the name of Jesus LMAO. How hard is it to say I should of never been in that situation?
Coward Black people always find a reason not to be a part of the revolution..... Blaming other Black people is easy. Standing against white supremacy is difficult.
He was acquitted and he's spoke about it at least a dozen interviews.
+MrZLeroy92 I agree with you fam! but most blacks are sad & really don't care that's the danger!
My cousin >>> so proud
✊🏿
This is not the slave movie you think it is. I saw it last night and it was uplifting and just all around good. Plus this is based on a real man's life not a white man's lies.
thank you sister!
it really breaks my heart that our ppl can be so damn gullible. they bring out a rape ACCUSATION from 1999. something he was ACQUITTED FOR. i don't see how ppl refuse to see that this was to specifically attack Nate Parker and sabotage the film.
The movie was excellent
The Birth of a Nation = Powerful Movie!!!
...maybe you should make a film about making the film...I would go and see it.
Don't just support with a comment, be sure to support with your dollars this weekend.
I wanna ask, what would he do more of, or do differently if he had a higher budget...
Hannibal of cartage movie next
" You got to be an animal to do that to a human." Nate Parker
29:10 smh wow this sounds crazy I'm stuck how that could happen
I'm going to check this movie out, even though I'm tired of these slave type movies... The thing that matters is the message, it's not about NATE Parkers life

PLEASE don't associate the media bringing up his rape case because whites are being killed in the movie. They're two separate issues and he never fully addressed the very serious situation
vinney91 they're saying every time a real powerful movie comes out the persons baggage always comes to the forefront!!
he went to trial, was found not guilty. Situation addressed.
It was addressed at his trial. WHAT ELSE?!!! (Gwitty voice )
and it was a white girl which he was acquitted. that almost never happens. so u absolutely had to be innocent. because white women lie on black men
who asked for the close up of Rosenberg
34:55 to 35:40 just shocked me ....look up what levees are
it's not just people of color who struggle with systemic oppression; me and my mom in particular, feels like she must find someone to give her permission to do anything
this film will be a success, i don't know if it's necessarily NEEDED because even i... a young black man... knew about Nat Turner since i was like 12... what's more important is TODAY"S climate and how we are constantly feeding the fire... look at the trailer for that movie "Get Out".. it's like they want us to be paranoid, you can't let a wound heal if you keep picking at it.

You're wrong Rosenberg. Just putting it out there, what you said was stupid at 16:01 and you're wrong
As far as the lampshade, animal behavior? Nah, more like demonic.
"Its never an option" How can anyone fix their mouth to talk to someone like that? I encourage learning about who your voting for before you vote. Learn then decide on your own.
because it's never an option. it's our duty as american citizens.
Laura say something
Anybody know who he married?
white women
why would it matter
Where are you going with this?
another hater smh
dont vote for HC. Ebro you need Jill Stein on the Show.. 💯
lol i mean how many black directors are there bro ? its clearly either spike or john singleton
magnificent 7
black panther
directors r blk
Revolution or not, I'm tired of these movies showcasing black suffrage. I'm going to miss this one.
my thing is this movie was made with black dollars. I get it though I didnt see free state of jones cuz of that white savior shit. But u and alot of bp loose site of the fact this movie was made with black money that can lead to other movies...

Lamine Diallo it's hard to watch movies like this but we need to know
Lamine Diallo
It's about black rebellion, not suffrage. It's a story of a hero
+Allen Anderson I saw it, its powerful
Great interview uuuunnnntillll that last 10 minutes about voting.. voting for Hillary ain't gon do it bruh..
Dope interview. I respect the movement and I'm all for the message. I'm just done with slave movies. They do nothing but anger me.
this isn't a slave movie it's a hero movie
Tia Bell based on....slavery. The same with Django Unchained.
Take your behind to theatre and support this film black man.
Freshboi 2 I do support it. I just won't watch it. I bought tickets for my 2 teenaged nephews, that don't know about Nat Turner, to go watch it. I'm just done with Slavery movies. For me, the triumph will only be overshadowed by the countless evil acts.
Bill Winters Of course everyone won't have the same outlook.
I bet this, won't do better than I am legend when it drops. not enough black people care enough to go see it.
Not true, we'll see what happens at the box office,
the higher ups blackballed the hell out this movie!!! they made sure this movie didn't prosper smh... & like always black people are always falling for white America's tricks to keep us a sleep to the truth of our history. this movie is not even playing no more, shit nobody is not even talking about the movie any more or how it got blackballed by selling people the wrong tickets for the movie & lying telling people its soldout when its not smh.... & i've seen the movie myself & IT WAS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!! GREAT MOVIE. IDK WHEN BLACK PEOPLE GONE LEARN TO STOP FALLING FOR THIS WHITE SUPREMACIST TACTICS TO KEEP US ASLEEP SMH....
I love this movie, but what the #$@! do Gucci Mane and Two Chains have to do with Nat Turner?! Nothing!!!! That's a mixed metaphor and it doesn't work.
because young ppl love them. he was trying to appeal to younger crowds too, because as we all know, these two rappers can rap about how big their shit in the toilet was and these kids will still love them
Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels did not give him any money
Rosenburg...you gotta pick and choose your spots man....could've kept the corny one liners out of this conversation....good interview besides that
Father Frank #lucifer
Rosenberg smh 😔😔😔
It is kinda weird that they added a fictional rape as a central component to the film. Like, why?
+Laughing Man Malcolm You do realize that slaves were raped on the regular? Come on, I know you know that! Men, women AND children at that.
GimmeABeat86 You know who else was raped? This man's victim. His friend who's a screenwriter for this movie was convicted for raping the victim.

I don't like the radio hosts.
Drapetomania
Rosenberg is so annoying
for real, he's like an overseer,,... he shouldn't be there at all
it's crazy how this whole convo was on point but my bro voting for Hillary Clinton?the seemingly lesser of one evil won't help anything. I'm from norfolk fam, so I'm proud of you and your work, but the Clinton's are a huge part of our current prison industrial complex that you spoke on. Voting is crucial but only when we have a solid plan with a solid candidate,we should all focus locally. This presidential ish is all a joke, what has any president literally done for our babies?
Graphic movie, this will make you want to kill! This is all about the hate. It's a slavey movie but it's revenge move too.
both talented, but both suspect.
Saw the movie and I wasn't impressed...kind of watered down and it needed better writing...very little in the movie dealing with the planning of the revolt...12 years a slave was a better film overall
