Chris Rock

While 'Superfly' is the first classic Blaxploitation film to get a remake, we think these 15 classic films from the era deserve remakes next.

RiRi put Chris Rock in the 'uncle zone.'

Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle surprised fans in NOLA.

After a 9-year stand-up hiatus, Chris Rock has announced that he will be hitting the road for his new Total Blackout Tour.

Chris Rock walked out to Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" and lampooned Hollywood racism and Oscar boycotts.

Public Enemy’s 1989 political anthem “Fight the Power opened and closed out the 2016 Oscars on Sunday night (Feb. 28).

Although some in the industry had called for Chris Rock to join the boycott of the 2016 Oscars, the actor and comedian will host the show as planned — though there will be some changes. Rock has reportedly tossed out much of his material in order to address the #OscarsSoWhite controversy that’s inspired Spike Lee, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith to boycott the ceremony, while the Academy has announced a sweeping initiative to increase diversity.

For the second year in a row, every actor nominated in all four acting categories for the Academy Awards is a white person. All 20 nominees for Best Actor and Actress and Best Supporting Actor and Actress are white people, reigniting the Twitter hashtag #OscarsSoWhite. And while many of us are comfortable in our power to merely comment via social media, there are a couple of strong voices who are fed up and ready to do something about it: director Spike Lee and actor Jada Pinkett-Smith have announced plans to boycott the Oscars this year, while the host of the 2016 awards himself has called the Academy out for their persistent negligence to nominate people of color.
