Questlove Supreme Podcast | Robert Townsend

[@paytonbf1]

Robert Townsend is the real deal. And he deserves every accolade that's available, including a Hollywood Star!

[@prof3ssor178]

FACTS 💯

[@Blocksourcemusic]

Amen!

[@Supremmo]

Hopefully someone nominates him and pays for the Star.

[@Lavelll-x9o]

Say it again, too read

[@johje02]

Robert Townsend is a severely underrated legend!

[@Lavelll-x9o]

A letter, start with dear, so what is u saying, u read between the lines

[@gutkministries]

It's about time somebody gave Robert Townsend his flowers ... all his work is official. Smart/enterprising brother!!

[@DorothyDewberryAldridge]

Robert Townsend looks amazing! He looks like his spirit is good.

[@blvkmirror8388]

Wow Robert Townsend doesn't do too many interviews this era...Really delightful 🍿👍🏾

[@BrotherEDEN]

I had no plans to sit through this whole interview, when I saw the length ... but this was a black history lesson !! Bravo to the OG's who made it happen on sheer determination and talent.

[@QLSProducer]

We love hearing/reading that. Thank you.

[@ChessMandingo]

This was an excellent interview. He's definitely one of our greats

[@welfaredad]

Robert is my hero. And contrary to what my girlfriend thinks, I believe Meteor Man is an awesome movie.

[@PeteMcCorvey]

This major black history right here. This man has played a big part of creating entertainment for my whole life. From 5 Heartbeats to Carmen a Hip Hopera. Much love to this King!

[@BMoreShock_63]

Robert Townsend is the greatest and always showed us in a positive light. Meteor Man was shot in Baltimore Whitlock neighborhood, but based in Washington, DC.

[@44bonkers]

This is Great. Why doesn't this break the Internet?

[@ted.25blu57]

He ain't break his morals

[@carnitasheppard4591]

FACTS!! This is pure GOLD

[@ND-9]

Break the internet?! Where’s the messiness? Where’s the part about him dragging another brother/sister? Cmon! You (black) folks don’t show up in droves unless it’s messy. Before you go for my head, I agree with you. This should break the internet. What a classy, talented brother. His works have stood the test of time. Sorry for being long winded 👊🏿

[@dominiquejones3805]

It's no drama

[@44bonkers]

It's all good. I get the point. ​@@ND-9

[@dawb86]

Thank y'all so much for honoring and giving our legends like Robert his flowers. Certain artists such as himself don't always get the props on the level of a Spike Lee or John Singleton (RIP) but his contributions are SO monumental to the culture. You think of modern films like 'American Fiction' now which are spiritual descendants of a film like 'Hollywood Shuffle' or 'Dreamgirls' to 'Five Heartbeats' and it becomes so clear that he has left an undeniable impact on the culture that lead the way for so many of the new greats. Thank you, Mr. Townsend.....

[@QLSProducer]

Thank you so for that

[@WindyCityCinema]

Robert Townsend is a Chicago legend!!! Much love

[@carnitasheppard4591]

ROBERT. muth@f^&in' TOWNSEND! I share Quest's love and respect for this brother. I echo EVERY compliment. Robert Townsend may be THE most underrated filmmaker ever. SUPREME talent and vision. Forever indebted to bro for what he injected into our culture just by following his heart & desire. Peace, god🙌🏾

[@shebacastro4729]

I watched Hollywood Shuffle with my 15 year old son. He wanted to keep backing up the jheri curl scene. I still love 5 heart beats 😊

[@sthom146]

We used to run the Jheri curl scene so much when I was in high school. I probably haven't see the movie since then. I need to go watch it.

I could listen to him all day.

[@dopenesslight7243]

My GOD, he's really amazing!!!! I've always thought he was great and underrated. But goodness gracious this man is phenomenaley gifted

[@culcre]

Eddie Griffin says Meteor Man started cause Robert seen him telling the Super My Man joke if Super Man was Black he’d only fly 3 feet off the ground etc. Eddie says Robert approached him after he came off stage and told him don’t do that joke anymore, that’s a movie you got right there. And it turned into Meteor Man.

[@pacotoyful]

Thank you for highlighting Mr. Townsend!❤

Watching this big man who I don't know, totally freaking out on THIS SHOW about Robert Townsend, struggling to speak etc, really sends the message how much respect he has for this man. I mean the man on the right at about ~1:17:00

[@kincamell2]

Gratitude for sharing. Peace to the cast ,writers and directors of Cooley High, Hollywood Shuffle, Meteor Man, 5 Heart Beats and The Parent Hood . That Partners in Crime Show was/is stellar. Didnt know Fam was in Mahogany . That song My Hero Is a Gun is amazing. Didnt know Fam was in The Warriors. Ps one day before class my 8th grade english teacher (Kilty) took my hip hop poem and threw it away and said I dont know why people waste their time on this stuff. Im due to graduate next semester from Humboldt State and my poems contributed to my current 3.6 gpa. Pps Peace to The Black Repertory
