13426491, Did CTA get some kind of Black Panther rub? Posted by bigkarma, Mon Mar-08-21 11:11 AM
I'm old enough to have seen CTA in the theatre, on a date, and I will acknowledge that it is a favorite of the community. But GOAT?
When it came out, it was just considered another flick in a string of Eddie Murphy movies. It wasn't even a "Black" movie necessarily. It's a John Landis joint, written by two SNL writers. I honestly don't remember it being this Black cultural phenomenon as much as it was a popular Eddie Murphy movie.
It feels like it got a resurgence once Black Panther blew up. Like we looked up and thought, "Hmmm, utopian African nation, colorful costumes and visuals...where have we seen that?...Oh yeah!"
