Spike Lee Lives on The Upper East Side, But Michael Rapaport is a Fucking Idiot

Spike Lee hates gentrification. Yeah, we know Spike. Word up. We heard you at Pratt in February loud and clear. But then Michael Rapaport had to get all crazy and start saying Spike was a sell out because he doesn't live in Brooklyn anymore and now he's an Upper East Sider. Rapaport went on HuffPost live and made himself look like a fucking idiot by calling Williamsburg "William's Point. He proceeded to make no sense from that point forward. What the fuck was he saying? Something about how Spike can't say shit because he isn't a Knicks Fan anymore. I don't fucking know.

I'm with Spike on this one guys. Rapaport is focusing on the fact that Spike is chilling on the Upper East Side, but he forgot that Spike grew up in Brooklyn and saw it change. Let's not forget Do The Right Thing. Radio Raheem would have punched Rapaport in the face if he'd heard his ignorant ass comments. Rapaport is talking about how awesome gentrification is and forgetting about the fact that gentrification is making it impossible for anyone to live in Brooklyn anymore. The people who grew up in Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Bed Stuy can't even afford to rent a studio anymore because these motherfuckers from Connecticut have taken over Franklin Avenue.

Spike has a right to complain about the changes around here because, guess what? He's from Brooklyn. Most of his films take place...guess where? Brooklyn. So shut the fuck up, Rapaport. Gentrification isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's pricing natives out of their apartments and Flatbush Avenue is beginning to resemble a strip mall. Maybe he should go hang out with the hipsters in "William's Point" I mean, Williamsburg and trade Buddy Holly glasses with them.
