The video is showing you how mediocre some white creations really are by putting a black face on it. We're held to such a higher standard in entertainment, politics and life in general that whenever we do what they do it just doesn't look right at all.

All this Racism behind keyboards and art.. the battle for minds. JayZ can only say these things in the hopes that B&W people in this country finally may have a positive symbiotic relationships through the finance. Friends and living single were two different shows. Black actors shouldnt settle for remakes. White actors shouldnt make action movies past their prime. LOTS OF THAT HAPPENING too. I had to edit this cause I was like… Black friends.. I know its a spoof but its REALLY GOOD. Jay.. did you pay the actors to finish the episode? Can I stream the rest of this.. Im Woke n shh.. I just like theatre 🎥 and those are epic actors.

For one, I do not appreciate you recognizing my girl Tiffany Haddish. You specifically named the whole cast except her. Come on y'all get with it- #SheReady !! Yeah don't do her, that's my new friend and idol now! 👊👊🦄

the host is out of touch with reality

It's so frustrating how some people can't actually comprehend the meaning of the video. Like it's not about just changing the white characters to black.🤦🏽♀️

They aren't making fun of white ppl or the original cast. What is the problem? U see how in detail he went to recapture the show? I bet he watched Friends a lot and is a fan. I've remixed the Golden Girls intro so many times. Lighten up and stop trying to pick a fight where there isn't one.

I got my popcorn ready while I view all these "cultural appropriation doesn't exist (until it affects us)" white people up in arms in the comment section. Friends is a ripoff Living Single btw 🍿

Judging by some of the comments I don't whether to blame Billboard for deliberate missing out the context of this video, to feel bad about the lack of critical thinking skills that people seem to possess to be able to put two and two together or just pity those who insist on being ignorant.

It would be nice if the show and presenter took enough time to learn the correct pronunciation of currently the most known of the people in the skit. After all he does have a self named show (although cancelled after this season) with character also of the same name. So difficult to get right.
Jorge Flores On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
Leave it to black people to ruined yet another part of tv history!!!
Folfx On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
How is this is not racist?
Avishek Saini On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
what "Get Out" reference? Those are the exact same lines lifted from the Friends episode. This is beyond stupid.
Gel Gaauur On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
I don't think people get the deep important meaning behind this video…
Rome On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
Thats not Hannibal Buress….. thats Lil Rel. Why do white people just mess everything up…? Whyyyyyy? Even when they try.
Nikolina Cacija On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am

Anthony Salmeron On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
they should have gotten a different joey in this
Sophia Lübbert On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
It's so sad that black people feel like they have to recreate friends just so there are blacks in it. I understand that this is about equality and not to be judged by superficial values but I don't really understand why they have to copy another show for that. It would make so much more sense to create a whole new show with both blacks and whites, heterosexuals and homosexuals and so on. But doesn't this video more fulfill the (totally wrong!) prejudice that black people would only copy what whites have made?
Daniel Adeyanju On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
Billboard, did you purposely leave out the whole context of the video? The host seems so excited that it has something to do with "Friends", that she fails to notice the entire objective of the art. She only mentions that the Oscar's audio was meant to "make a statement". A statement about what? The uninitiated viwer would not be able to tell that he's making a thinly veiled reference to how people of the world love black art but will rarely give the people that create it the respect they deserve
DJ Victorious The best of the best On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
Just another black trying to take away something so good and make it so awful dumb black people
A R On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
That white chick is annoying
Patricia Sanchez On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
So unoriginal. Remaking white people movies/shows using black people instead is so NOT creative!! Cannot give him props for that. Sorry!
Nel King On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
I wish that this was a real show!!!!
Steve Stewart On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
Only in america can a criminal like JayZ be admired by so many idiots
Kyetti R. On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
Where can this video be watched?
Brooklyn Jones On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
It's pronounced Jer-ROD not Jerred. I feel like "journalists" should know how to pronounce people's names before they report on them. 😒
020ctmarie On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
Here are some things black people invented that white people like to use but don't give us credit for:
The dust pan
Refrigerator
Traffic lights
Automatic elevator doors
Super soaker
Sprinkler
Lawn mower
Potato chips
Home security systems
Furnace
Dryer
Automatic gearshift
Pacemakers
Mailbox
3-D

Shizzy Denn On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
I luv it!
Ring The Belle On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
She said "Jerrod" name wrong 😑
Purple Capricorn On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
Techinically "Living Single" was the black "Friends." I believe Living Single was out first.
Katie S On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
The name pronunciations here…
🤦🏻♀️
Arissia Rochester On March 23, 2019 at 12:51 am
This was not needed… Why are black ppl always jealous if what white people do and accomplish.. For someone who is very talented and fresh with ideas this one was pretty stale asf!!he just took someone else's ideas and used them. Not for it
