LMAO acting a fool in front of company!


This whole scene in front of the politician's mother is HILARIOUS. Anything that can embarrass the hell out of Cookie has happened. Even Jamal is talking like a fool.

The statement below is false.

I agree, they should have kept it going.

Too bad it didnt last longer

HA, yup! They should've played that DMX song during that scene instead...

Jamal was more annoying then hilarious but Lucious was funny airing out everyone's dirty laundry. Lol

That scene was fantastic. Especially Luscious & Jamal.

Jamal cracked me up when as soon as anika and lucious showed up he immediately said "oh my lord" 

I absolutely loved that scene! PR looked amazing (still can't believe what a fool AR was/is!). I also loved when Lucious realized that he needed to stop holding Cookie back. Was that a glimmer of growth? Time will tell.

Agree w/all above posts. Scene was golden. I probably watched it 4x. Loved the songs they cut to at the block party, DMX and CMack. Fire.

Jamal is written and perhaps played a bit unevenly. But he was funny when he told Lucious to chill and exist or something.... if he was a bit more of the comic foil (like his interplay w/Hakeem)& not always the brooding, uptight, confused little twit, he could be more enjoyable.

But Lu was funny as-- he!!

Hakeem was funny too..."answer your phone, dummy!" Actor played it straight, which made it more real (contrasting to JS's over the top performance). The writers need to reach a tone with Jamal and stick to it, and then turn it down.
