Tyler Perry Studio Opening

[SethHesio]

A stupid thing, no matter how popular and successful, is still a stupid thing. Tyler Perry's sit coms on stage (they're not plays) are dumbed down nonsense. They're making people embrace stupidity and ignorance.

[LoveMichaelandWesley]

@SethHesio O really? I thought people embraced stupidity and ignorance years and years ago. Way before Tyler Perry was even born. What the fuck are you talking about? Your comment is nonsense and stupid. Obviously, you did not listen to the messages, for example, Medea says in the sitcoms, plays, and movies. She talks about everyday life, what people go through. The fucking truth so many can relate to. All you looked at was her acting a fool and that is why you are critizing.

[LoveMichaelandWesley]

@SethHesio Do not judge a book by its cover without opening it first and actually reading it. I am not opening any replies and yo bitch ass is blocked.

[SethHesio]

@LoveMichaelandWesley I'm not judging any book by its cover. Every single thing that Tyler Perry produces is stupid and dumbed down. Spike Lee called it "Coonery Baffoonery". And if you go ont IMDB, the ratings for his films are all below 4 out of 10. So it's fine if you're a fan, just be aware that you're watching something designed to appeal to very stupid people.

[oakaziz]

@VisionimagifyTV Really, tell that to the many black actresses he has employed. Remember these people are often overlooked by others.

[prycefilms]

GOD BLESS YOU TYLER!

[CarlaMills]

Tyler your fans love you....Please keep up the great work !!!!

[chefbee70]

MR. PERRY I LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE,,,,,,, ALL THE BEST MR. PERRY MY GOAL IS TO GET WERE YOUR ACT BIGGS FOR POPS LADY C ENJOY HEAVEN

[TheBarbarasharp]

Much Luv!!! Thank You!!

[211method]

Tyler Perry is in a position to inspire, motivate, save, heal and testify daily. So to God be the glory because there is no way he did this all by himself. Good Job, TP. If you havent seen Madea's Big Happy Family, watch it, it is amazing.

[AveolarD]

fuss fuss crabs crabs, black people will never unite. someone finally opens a studio where all the other people before him could not even unite a small percentage of their income to create such a company, now folks are hating. black people, black people when will you learn to just accept something nice and STFU.

[jeannie961]

JUST LIKE WILL SMITH SAID ON HANCOCK ''GOOD JOB'' TYLER PERRY.

[dirtyplaya]

this hella inspiring fo real...the young black generation should open there eyes to stuff like diss...tyler perry is a good role model

[nessbuns]

tyler perry ask god about me! on youtube watch it! spread the word!

[DanielDiPiazza]

TPS hates me!

[richieganoeallen]

I dont know what to think when i hear athat someone would think that Tyler Perry shows are dameaning or any thing esle for that mater.Me personly i find him to be very intelagent and soothing. Being a fire fighter I love watching house of pain

[feitarottan]

Who the Hell is Tyler Perry??

[evaforyou]

@feitarottan ahha how did you find this video if you didn't know who he was :)

[behindthebeattv]

MAKING HISTORY!!!

[Josh18R]

[amarige25]

What a beautiful thing.

[The7legacy]

Tyler Perry is the man!!!!!!!!

Plays, Movies, Tv Shows.

Major props!!!!!!!

[PatsBooks]

Go Tyler!

[honeyluv15]

aren't we all LOL!! I know what you mean. I need a break LOL

[honeyluv15]

so what! he made it. Let God be the judge of the rest. That's not our job to worry about his lifestyle. That's that mans business.

[dlwashington12]

Well if he gay please introduce me to him i am looking for a rich, fine, BIG, strong, BLACK, man

[honeyluv15]

God is the creator of all things..this man is truely blessed. he has everything he asked for and more.

[QueerBlackCinemaTV]

Yes, but it must be hard being in the closet. Imaging sharing your life accomplishments with the one you live in a openly way. Until people stop murdering people because of your sexuality, stereotyping and begin dealing with the isms we face not only in the Black community but beyond, then everything he ask for will never happen. In the words of the late great Michael Jackson, start with the man in the mirror.

[okiefarmer1]

i have never heard of him

[mslegacy01]

You have NEVER heard of him...? Then how'd you make it here??? Oh well, now you have. That's what's important.

[purpledragon2630]

Wow! All his hard work is really paying off! I am so thankful that he has followed his calling, because he has truly blessed all of us who love his work. I am proud of Tyler Perry cause he never gave up. I can only imagine what his road has been like. Keep blessing us Tyler .... we love ya!!!!!!

[badboy593]

tyler perry is large i mean huge! i dont kno one black person that doesnt kno who tyler perry is.. he keeps rollin out new projects back to back.. i dont think he'll stop until he's as rich as Oprah.. lol

[gorillapimpin26]

if you dont get it  it wasn't made for you...and i think they mad cause it aint about them it's about us. go watch wut ever yall watch sleepless in seatle

[SmoothnSavvy]

I am so happy for Tyler & also that his folks supported him in this opening as well.

[crjones1208]

Very nice. Perry shows black men they can make something of themselves. He just took everything he experienced in his life and make comedy out of it.

[redbeard86]

I applaud everything Tyler is doing. I know that nobody can tell Tyler's story like Tyler can and nobody knows exactly what it took for him to get where he is but him other than the experiances he has shared in the past so jealous people that hate on him are so quick to criticize because he is successful but like the Bible says "To whom much is given much also is required"

[redbeard86]

So like the old saying goes walk a mile in others shoes b4 you criticize. Tyler, keep it up and know your true fans are proud of you celebrate your success and support you in all you do.

[LuckyCharmStudio]

Tyler Perry seems like a sharp guy. We need industrious people like him to revive the economy. Good job.

[SmoothnSavvy]

Do you have to work at being so ignorant or does it just come naturally?

[smellmyfarts]

Why all this hate? It's sickening to read many of these comments. Goodness gracious! Why can't ppl be happy for a change for a man who pulled himself up by his bootstraps?

Tyler Perry deserves credit for his achievements. Let's focus on that.

[thabossofbosses]

I was just about to apply, but I can't give up your mom. The head is amazing!!

[juicycouture233]

Lol, funny. But you better watch out. White people are the minorities now. It's more likely for you to become a slave than a black person

[DownBottomFilms]

Tyler Perry is really and truly an inspiration : ) Also check out "Love's Triangle" by Down Bottom Films for more good films. Oh, and Tyler keep up the good work!!!!!!

[artistsixteen]

Tyler gave me hope! some have said i will never make it as song writer but i refuse to stop trying just listening to his stories of determination helps give me a new found strength .Visit me on utube Artistsixteen

[thabossofbosses]

Bigbootyholes your name speaks 4 it's self...Hating ass,bitch ass, pussy ass......

[SHERETTA123]

Humm will smith.......... i wonder about him

[LiLcoolniga]

i think ur a piece of shit bitch!!!, tyler perry is legendary, hard feelings!!!!

[warrenlaidler]

I know this is a bit off the topic.

But in the title he's refered to as "African-American" -- What would an African-American refer to a person of the same race, from another country as?

[dsjj251]

@warrenlaidler well they would be referred to by their nationality. if they live in South Africa, then they are South African .

[SexyAzzHell93]

Patti, Patti!

[musicluver2204]

That is Beautiful, first Barack now Tyler. All you need is first names. The MEN. You heard.

[Moorelover22]

Ok, that's why his movies almost set the box office record!!

And he went from filming his own plays with his own video camera to his own studio, now what kinda 6th grader does stuff like that.

Oh my god.

[BallsMacHammer]

Tyler Perry writes at the level of a 6th grader. I can't beleive this guy is famous, if he wasn't black he'd be working at applebees. I feel bad that this is what the black community gets, I think there's a conspiracy keeping down the real African American writers, because this guy is a hack and a shitty, shitty writer.

[locustsymphony]

very true; but I think that's what people like. The critics have lambasted Madea Goes to Jail, but it's top of the box office right now. If only there was more variety or black screenwriters. It's shocking how bad his stuff is. I like how he plasters his name on everything he does, though.

Tyler Perry presents a Tyler Perry Production written by terry perry performed by perry tyler...

ego.

[iceremix]

and that last time you guys wrote something of published worth was?

[locustsymphony]

I'm in uni write now but my stuff is used in school plays. I'm twice the writer he is. I'm on my way, baby ;)

[iceremix]

Well part of the learn is respecting those that have gone before you or pathing the way... If you believe youre better than Tyler good luck to you, i dont mean no disrespect.. but his journey to get where he is, is enough in my book to praise his efforts thus far accomplished writer or not theres respect in that.

[SmoothnSavvy]

When you're great, you're great. Director, productor, actor & the list goes on...

[SmoothnSavvy]

He's great. I love him

[majestic1070]

His work often emulates 6 graders

[mslegacy01]

If his work emulates 6 graders....Then why can't YOU emulate his success, JACK ASS?!?!?

[blkcountrywesterngal]

Keep up the good work!

[mrmonnet]

Congrats Tyler!!! Good job!!!!!!!!!

[AnimePlanet7]

Caution: If you are a 'thug' or a lame-assed wannabe rapper don't E-Mail me....you might get your feelings hurt!!!

[AnimePlanet7]

Hey Tyler thanks for being a 'mentor' to us guys trying to 'Dream-Bigger'....and make it happen! Your haters are mad because most of them are BROKE! I guess being broke 'hurts'. It makes people 'blame' or 'hate' the wrong people. TP don't 'glorify' the 'N-word' in his pics..because he's smart. Dumb-ass rappers do it all the time!!!...a bunch of 'sell-outs'!! Forget those phony reality SHOWS if people could really 'SEE' just 'WHO' their beloved rappers ARE 24/7 I bet support would fade FAST!

[AnimePlanet7]

Jesus said you can't fix an old piece of clothes because when you try by putting a NEW piece (patch) the new piece will 'tear-away' from the old and destroy the whole thing! Tyler is new...rap is old! Tyler has a 'Fresh & new approach" and rap is almost 40 years old...and what's really 'new' about it? Stale-ass, negative, woman-hating-speak, criminal describing, teaching self-hatred, dumb, stupid,lies and is 'raw-sewage' in verbal form. What 'good' can come outta this?? We NEED NEW STUFF!

[realtyone]

You was sounding good until you started cursing at the latter end of this post, you still could have used motivating words to keep me reading atleast, I stopped at Stale-ass.

[AnimePlanet7]

And someone mentioned up here that "what's the BIG deal" rappers have did the same thing! Yeah rappers have but most rappers are 'angry-fatherless-single-mamma­-raised-victim-for life PUNKS'! Complaining and whinning about life and attempting to put their "intellectual- manure" into CD's (muh' album') LOL! What great movies came from these lame-ass rappers! I guess since rappers have made cheap films (a long suicide note) you could call them cheap+rapper = 'crapper' films.

[AnimePlanet7]

Whenever someone 'moves' beyond their limits...and sets new ones, haters (jealous punks) gotta start flapping their 'mouth-skins' (lips). Haters don't hate for a legit reason they just get angry because they feel like life 'dealt them a bad hand'. And besides what GOOD can come from a person who proudly labels themselves "haters"? Their will always be haters (suckers)! Jesus even said so. And he was the BADDEST dude to ever live...and die.. and come back to life! Now what??

[zoetropez]

Tyler Perry may be the biggest hack in all of Hollywood--which is saying an awful lot. His characters are insulting to black people--they are caricatures straight out of "Amos and Andy." I can't sit through one of his TV shows for 30 minutes, I don't know how a half million people sat through his new movie this weekend. Instead of portraying blacks as doctors, lawyers, presidents, Perry puts on a freaking minstrel show.

Perry must have made a deal with Satan.

Or the Kingfish. Sad, indeed.

[Wisewoman77]

Really look at the Amos & Andy TV series. It may have gotten a bum rap. Some things I don't like about TP movies, but they give a big picture. They do portray black doctors, lawyers, entrepreneus, etc, ALONG WiTH regular and sometimes "undesirable" characters. The way life really is. Maybe it's TOO REAL for some. I speak for myself, he sometimes talks about things in black community what I don't like to face, but ignoring negatives don't erase them. That's the lesson for ME.

[fancyrants]

watch "my thoughts on MADEA GOES TO JAIL"

watch "my thoughts on MADEA GOES TO JAIL"

watch "my thoughts on MADEA GOES TO JAIL"

[angela1894]

I don't get it. How is he the first african american to open a film studio ? It's not that big an achievement. And I thought several rappers have opened film studios in the past. I remember No Limit Records (Master P's franchise) had a film studio and actually put out some cheap movies, so did G Unit records.

[LibertarianGal2009]

well, i disagree with you 100% but at least you are respectful.

[HigherPlace]

I was on here looking for some thing to laugh at a for some reason i started to read all of he Damn Haters on here!! Rock on Tyler..

[jessejames1729]

Why does everything he makes have to say his name in the title. To remind us that its not funny?

[jessejames1729]

why do all black comedies suck especially his

[mckinneyrl]

Hey thank you for posting. Its good that someone seems to be promoting Mr. Perry. And everyone, just a word of advice, the form Christianity in one place is not necessarily the form of Christianity in another. The only wise GOD is our judge, so i implore you to speak blessings and not curses upon anyone, whether evil or good. Peace ya'll.

[LloydBFine]

What did he do?

[LibertarianGal2009]

I saw him in a bookstore in Atlanta. This woman, who was obviously a fan and who was very respectful about it, was just talking to him and helping him around the place, and he seemed to be a total jerk. I like to look at stars and how they interact with their fans. I mean, if my fame and riches came from people and I had the pleasure of meeting one of those people, I wouldn't treat that person like he/she were shit. Just saying. Lost all respect for him after that.

[LibertarianGal2009]

Funny how people will give me a thumbs down when its something they don't want to hear. I was hurt too. I use to like Tyler Perry. I have no reason to lie. LOL.

[divasing]

Why cant people just be happy for someone eles ? ok you may not like everything he does but he is makeing a life for him self and creating jobs for people. if you dont like it just dont look at the mans movies !!!!

[caritzan]

Tyler Perry continue making your plays and movies; LAUGHTER is good for the soul. In addition to the lessons that I have and others have pulled out of each one of your plays and movies; continue doing what you have to do to reach the lost ones in this World as well as in our community! May GOD continue to Bless you and yours. ~with love Caritza.

[bojangle323]

By the way these legendary actors and actresses crossed the writers picket lines to attend this extravagant affair. So much for loyalty. But doesnt matter does it? Tyler Perry is the black peoples saviour. Right?

[janfan89]

I love Tyler!

[uncleshookey]

good job Tyler.

[turbodog411]

This guy steals other material.

[david46208]

Glad I'm not Christian, but good job Tyler you have finally arrived and ain't going no where.

[indez23]

What ever Tyler Perry did to get where he is, it worked for him and he's not worried about a warm bed, a plate of food, or the police looking for him......

[amtraklover]

I still can't believe his studio is right around the corner from where I live. It's about time somebody did something with that building, it was abandoned for quite some time.

[Divineaziatic9]

Your interpretation of God is as something outside of you that you cannot figure out or is so overwhelming you cannot understand.Eye understand that everything has a Source and Nothing differs from its Source.Eye guess you believe that two gorilas can birth a chimp.Eye come from God So Eye exist in his image in this realm of physical reality.Eye did not need someone to tell me this or get it from a book,because Eye am one with God and Walk with God so Eye know God. Mistahsewtube or whatever.

[MistahsEweTube]

Mistah bases his knowing of God based on God, not on man attempt to interpret what God could and Could not be!! All eye am is based on First Hand Knowing of What exactly God is! LOL!!!!!!! Eternal is The way!

[MistahsEweTube]

Agapeeyesir, divineaziatic9, and who ever else..did you even hear yourselves when you posted the comments. If you truly knew God at all, you would have made a more complete statement than the one sided statement you gave. God is complex and to attemp to box his complexity by saying study science to know God, is missing it. Does dirt have feelings? Does Rain carry emotion? Does a tree know love? Science is like the English language of God but not the Original language. God is unconditional!

[agapeyesir]

I'm not hating at all but he lacks artistic integrity and any one who is a true artist would know that the most popular isn't the most popular.And as a Christian believer, I find his depictions of Christians to be offensive.What he's doing is temporary, true artist like spike lee David E. Talbert, and will power should all go over to TP's house and teach him how to write. His plays and movie's are anti-intellectual and it does nothing for black theatre & his Tv show- ugh. Blk ppl lets get right

[mzcobaaris]

now honestly u trippin hard tyler perry shows wat it like for many blk families in america he does it wi out cursin sex and lots of other offensive bull....so on that note quit hatin on him ckuz he doin somethin good

[Divineaziatic9]

I Totally agree with you! Tyler Perry's Madea series was very popular amongst Christian families and they allowed their children to see a Gun toting, cross dressing, cigarette smoking, COON as being entertaining.He is a disgrace to himself and only simple minded non-logical embicles continue to support him and his warped childish Observation of God.God is intelligence and the study of Nature is one of the ways we understand God.There is no Natural Talent Apparent in Tyler Perry pure buffoonery!

[agapeyesir]

Some one with some sense! Thank you so much, I'm not the only one in the world I study theater and film in NYC and many of my school mates agree! Notice, the ones who challenges Mr. Perry's works are thinkers.

[singsationalronnie]

Do you really know the God we serve The God who sent his son Jesus to die, God says dont judge for you will be judged at the same measure in which you judge someone else....Never put my God in a box for if this was not his will Tyler would not be blessed the way he is...God doesnt bless mess and with his name in it...he wouldnt have blessed it...May God open up you small minded people one day....Know my God b4 u speak on what and who he is

[bojangle323]

This is for you Divine and to Agape: Thank you so much saying what I have been thinking and trying to say forever. Tyler Perry has managed to pull the wool over so many ppls eyes for quite sometime. His writing and directing leave so much to be desired. I'm sure I will get some thumbs down on my comment or someone calling me a hater, or probably be even called white. But the fact remains, Tyler Perry Sux!!

[dsjj251]

@Divineaziatic9 your comments are very ignorant.

Cross dressing in stage plays has been practiced for thousands of years, as women were not allowed to act in western plays till the 1700's

I also didnt know smoking a cigarette had anything to do with Christianity, or a bad image in itself, if you think it does then that is simply your opinion and you are small minded and idiotic

[Tiggamax]

Dang do you people hate on everything?

[agapeyesir]

I'm sorry, but as a black writer and writer and general I still have a hard time digesting some of TP's stuff, he has no structure or since of story.

[godblessemohair]

I think you meant in general and sense.

But why do you think that? Seriously though, I think his stories do have structure and a good sense of story. I think they are stories that in general black audiences (and audiences of other races as well) want and need to hear. I think if anything is to be faulted, his stories tend to all run along the same general plot line, but I myself don't see that as a fault. I think he finds a way to reinvent each one. But please, elaborate.

[agapeyesir]

His characters are one dimensional, they do not grow with the story he abandons plot lines and I disagree he does not reinvent the stories he just makes them look different but its the same thing, there is not justice in his plays, his characters never go to jail and no one is never not forgiven that is not reality. Madea is nothing but a perpetuation of the black mammy and he could be more clever in trying to spread the message of forgiveness or whatever it is her does. he's just not clever

[lionhead30]

i really do understand what you are saying and about mr. perry. but one thing is we know him and his milliond about to be billions who are you?? how many millions have you witness to or lives you touch besides one on here and your work zone . how many salaries are you paying. i didnt think so so stop complaining and start inspiring people. not trying make you mad. let be real

[MistahsEweTube]

the character Madea...simply put is this...Eye am what eye am, eye make no excuse, God is my only Judge, and if you ain't God, why are you wasting my time!!!? That's Madea pretty much in a nutshell..old school hard knox with the wisdom to reach an innocent so they have a chance and not become like her!!! God uses everyone to reach everyone...but i guess you don't believe God either!

[agapeyesir]

I am a firm believer in God, and active believer but Mr. Perry's depiction of true believer is childish, his plays does not teaching the audience, he is perpetuating blk stereotypes, he isn't clever with his writing and his films are so rudimentary, no film student would ever do a project on his work, he lacks artistry and professionalism, pretty shots and a nice set is not professionalism its spectacle and that what most niggaz like, thats why its rare to find a good blk church.

[lovie2000]

no film student would ever have a chance to to do a project for him on his work.....I don't see him out begging any students or anyone else to help him write, produce, or participate in his plays or movies, and what does any of this have to do with finding a good black church, how about a good church period

[Divineaziatic9]

Wow,..amazing you are definetly of the most primitive aspects of life Eye have ever encountered.FYI,if you would base your understandings of God on the observations of God's creations as opposed to just accepting the view given to you by your slavemasters. You would know that Everything that makes up dirt, rain, and trees are made of YOU!Science is Nature and God expresses God by creating Life's Art.This Eye do not consider as a depiction of Life's Art at least not mine.THIS IS PURE CAPITALISM.

[MistahsEweTube]

"Wow." Difine? Aziatic? 9? Your statement proves my point based on your own words. You must have a really effective prayer life! LEt me guess...you have it all figured out. How did you obtain your information? Oh yeah, from books written by men who told YOU what to think!1 Lol--Now again, please do tell, who has a slave master??? Your statement discerns you did not grasp the points made which were only pointing out why man was created, not from where which is definitively from God! Wow!!?

[Dyamanti22]

Wow Tyler Perry is such a good role model i like his work so much.

[Kavvon]

This man is the proof that favor is real!!! From homeless to success. Go, Tyler

[swill43507]

This man was homeless and look at him now!! Black people this is proof that you can do anything if you believe.

[fourtwanky]

Mr Perry, i'm very surprised about your actions. Your a public figure, a celebrity. How can you show up to a party in Atlanta, Ga and make a total ass out of youself. Your a total jerk, an asshole, and a complete douche bhag. I feel bad for you. I dont know much else about you, but if you have the balls to crash a party, call the police and ruin the evening for my friend's engagement party, then fuck you bitch. I'm not afraid to say this to your face as you are my neighbor in Atlanta Ga.

[kplez504]

Well then got talk to him instead of spreading negative energy. Jeez.

[swill43507]

LOL!! You are full of sh*t!!! Tyler is not the kind of person to be violent towards a woman or man-handle them. The man is against violence.

[sexydiane125]

I think the important here, Tyler Perry just made history because There are many talented writers, directors, actors out there and another door has been open for them to share their hard work world wide and be rewarded for it.

[MsLabellesNo1Fan]

If all this happened, why didn't anyone press charges against him? Someone could've testified against him since there were so many witnesses.

[kplez504]

I dont beleive that

[DanielakaBigd]

this was a big moment

[SMOOTHBRIDGE]

I love TYLER PERRY!!!!!
