Katt Williams will appear in the Owen Wilson and Ed Helms comedy, ‘Father Figures’ (2018), to debut in December.
Epps wrote, co-produced, and starred in the film. Mike Epps recently wrapped filming for ‘The Trap’ with T.I. Audiences responded well to ‘Meet the Blacks’ so we’re happy to give them another dose of dysfunction with, ‘The House Next Door’.” I don’t know how we’re going to keep it together on set with these two at the top of their game. Producer Deon Taylor stated, “Mike and Katt are so comedically explosive together. This will mark Mike Epps and Katt Williams’ second collaboration since co-starring in ‘Friday After Next’ (2002). Bresha Webb, Zulay Henao, Andrew Bachelor, Lil Duval, Michael Blackson and Tyrin Turner join Epps and Williams for ‘The House Next Door’. The original ‘Meet The Blacks’ (2016) cast members are returning for the sequel. The film is directed by Deon Taylor, Roxanne Avent and Robert F. He convinces himself that the man (Williams) is actually a vampire bent on stealing his family. When an extravagant pimp (Williams) moves into the neighborhood, Black (Epps) draws his own conclusions. ‘The House Next Door’ follows Carl Black (Epps) – a best-selling author who moves his family to his childhood home so he can find the peace to write his new book. Dave Chappelle, Steve Harvey, Deon Cole, Craig Robinson, Eddie Griffin, J.B. The film is a direct sequel to ‘Meet The Blacks’ (2016) and spoof on ‘ Fright Night’ (2011). Katt Williams is, by his own admission, a wildly prolific comedian. The comedians co-star in the upcoming urban comedy-thriller, ‘The House Next Door’. We can learn." And we can start by not dismissing things too early.Mike Epps & Katt Williams are hitting the big screen together for the first time in 15 years. "All I'm saying is life is too short," he says. The races and the genders, in his view, have different cultures, which makes the world not a competition but an opportunity. (Apparently it's useful to have an outraged white friend turning up at the police station when you get arrested.) In short, he is a liberal, even if his language isn't. All races should make friends with one another, often for merely practical reasons. Parents need to stop smacking their kids. "If your man got a problem with your stretch marks," he says, "I suggest you stop fucking with bitch niggers."īlack men, he says, need to relax and not be so angry all the time. And it is pretty clear elsewhere that this second way of seeing things is Williams's. Doubtless many women would be happier if they could learn not to value themselves by the criteria men hand out. Seen another, however, it is outright feminism. Seen one way, this is a man telling women to stop complaining – even blaming them for feeling worthless when they're mistreated. You done got with a nigger and now you talking about, 'You fucked up my self-esteem'. We tired of y'all getting with us and blaming us for shit we ain't even in control of. If you the shit, you the motherfucking shit. Stop waiting on a nigger to verify whether you the shit or not, bitch. Take this bit, and try to look beyond the full-on language: "Ladies, you've got to be the shit to you. He struts and tumbles and dances until the sweat pours, and everywhere he goes he carries the exciting air of a man who arrived on stage with something to say. He may wear the trappings of hip-hop fame – the girls, the gold, the jargon – but he preaches tolerance and kindness.įunny how? With his manic capering and pulpit urgency, Williams reminds me more of James Brown than any rapper. Williams, however, though he is as sharp as Rock and as morally upstanding ( in principle, if not in practice ), is also deeply immersed enough in ghetto lore to be able to reprove it from the inside. Rock installed a milestone in comedy, and in America, when he delivered his "black people vs niggers" routine in 1996. Sometimes hip-hop's bombast, full-bloodedness and questionable ethics have been present, too.īut so has self-criticism. In different ways, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Mike Epps and Eddie Griffin have all made it their business to describe the experience – self-confidently at last – of being black as opposed to white in America. For as long as there's been hip-hop music, it's had a counterpart in comedy. "I'm only calling you bitches," he explains to the women in the audience, "because I don't know your names individually." Is that an excuse? Or a refusal to make one? You are entitled, if you wish, to dismiss him out of hand right there.īut Williams is interesting. The set-up: Right from the beginning, Katt Williams clears something up.
