They totally got the wrong person to interview him but in the UK it's all about which African can we get to do .....

[@ignatiusjackson235]

Who's Next actually came out in 1971

[@QuadriviumNumbers]

Why is he sitting next to him looking down like that? It looks like he is being condescended to by a fashion designer! With Spike's hat and glasses the imagery here is deliberate and extremely tacky for the BFI. Shame on you! Boateng!!! We say "specific" not pacific! 4:27

Spike Lee. Without doubt, the most overrated director of all time. Nobody else comes close.
