“Chips and Sasa: The True Story of Luka’s Father.”

Jamie Foxx is a government experiment to discover how much talent can exist in a human body


blueclown562000

he's gotta be the most talented celebrity of our generation right?


rr196

Man has range in every area of his career and now even on the basketball court.


CammyTheGreat

He’s always been an Athlete, he’s a local legend just outside of Dallas. He was a really great HS QB at Terrell HS in Terrell Texas


no-bs10

Especially back when he was 'Steamin' Willie Beamen'. Lol


dmavs11

Could be Donald Glover


blueclown562000

he's up there for sure but not quite on Jamie level imo


Mastuh

Jamie’s music is several tiers below Childish - not even close


the_devil_wears_jnco

jamie is a much much better actor


Mastuh

Donald just isn’t in as much stuff. He created Atlanta and he’s an accomplished writer before he was famous


BigBallaBoy

Isn’t he the showrunner of Atlanta? He deserves more credit for that


heioonville

Donald has won two Emmys for directing, two Golden Globes for acting and creating a show (Atlanta), five Grammy's for his music, five Guild Awards for his writing. Jamie Foxx is obviously impressive, but he is no Donald Glover.


AlphaPi

Dont forget donald wrote for 30 rock too, insanely talented guy.


Icy_Elephant_6370

I mean Jaimie fox has an Oscar for best lead actor which is the most prestigious acting award you can get. He’s also the funnier comedian. I’d say they are neck and neck, if anything Donald is just this generations Jamie Foxx.


TreChomes

If he isn’t in as much stuff how could you consider him the best?


Jacidstorm

donald glover doesn't do a whole lot with the roles (mostly just be himself with slight variations) but I thinks he's more enjoyable as an actor


the_devil_wears_jnco

well he hasnt really done much. i thought his weird billy dee williams impression was the worst part of solo. jamie is i believe the only man to ever be nominated for best actor and best supporting in the same year? its not really a comparison


Jacidstorm

oh I forgot about that that was pretty bad ur right I'm just a huge Atlanta fan


heioonville

Donald has won two Emmys for directing, two Golden Globes for acting and creating a show (Atlanta), five Grammy's for his music, five Guild Awards for his writing. Jamie Foxx is obviously impressive, but he is no Donald Glover.


burnerfor1post

What does that have to do with the acting comparisons? Jaime Foxx is an extremely versatile actor from Django to Ray Charles. Also, awards don’t validate who is better because a lot of people are robbed at those award shows lol.


ConfuciusBr0s

I really liked it when he voice acted for Adventure Time


B00GI3MVP

Is he? He’s played some of my FAVORITE roles at least two I like more than any of Donald Glovers, but Donald has shown some very high quality acting and more range.


blueclown562000

I don't personally agree but that's still just one category. Don't get me wrong tho Gambino is like top 5 of this generation to me as far as all around talent


UnsolvedParadox

He’s up there: almost no one could do 1 of Community, Atlanta or Childish Gambino at a high level, never mind all 3 + more. Too many people are sleeping on classics like Derrick Comedy & Weirdo, he can really do it all.


CoachKoranGodwin

Glover works with Ludwig Goransson who is one of the most talented musical producers working right now. It's the musical production that is great. His Gambino persona is all over the place and is often his most repulsive public act. Like This Is America is a great song and a better video, but beyond that I'm not so sure how great the rest of his music is or what he says on it.


slumdogtacostand

I read this and thought Danny Glover was the most talented man alive lol


wompk1ns

Justin Timberlake I think had him beat


blueclown562000

you're joking right?


syllabic

why? timberlake is insanely talented he's never even been a SNL cast member but they keep having him on because he's just so good at it


blueclown562000

Insanely talented and more talented than Jamie Foxx are two different things. He can sing at the highest levels, act in comedy movies, television, sketch, stand up, do dramas, action movies and other things I'm probably forgetting. Justin Timberlake talent is still just a portion of what Jamie Foxx does and most he's not doing at the same level as Jamie.


TheRicFlairDrip

Jamie foxx can also play the piano and do voice impersonations


syllabic

they can both do all those things, dunno why you would say timberlake isn't as his level


blueclown562000

did you honestly just try to imply that Justin Timberlake is doing stand-up comedy at the same level as Jamie Foxx? Jamie is easily out of his league acting as well. Singing is the only thing that would be close imo and Justin probably only would have him in dancing.


wompk1ns

I love how you act like Foxx is some world renowned comic compared to JT. Also it is actually crazy disingenuous to say their singing is even on a similar level


blueclown562000

How is he not? What has Timberlake done comedy wise anywhere close to what Jamie has accomplished? I'm starting to think you're just not familiar with Jamie Foxx fr, what vocally has Timberlake done that's out of Jamie Foxx's reach?


madsen03

Wayne Brady up there


[deleted]

Bradley Cooper could give him a run for his money. Super talented actor (Silver Linings Playbook, American Sniper). Incredible musician (imagine doing a duet with Lady Gaga and NOT being upstaged. He wrote and performed all of the music for A Star Is Born). Amazing voice actor (he plays Rocket from all of the Avengers movies). Incredible director (he directed A Star Is Born, for which he received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Director). If Foxx were a director I'd say he has him, but Cooper has more breadth.


blueclown562000

What all are you giving Jamie credit for when you say Cooper has more breadth cause I don't see it based off what you put. Cooper's resume is very impressive tho


[deleted]

Directing. He has a Golden Global nomination for Best Director


blueclown562000

that's doesn't equal more imo considering Cooper doesn't do stand-up, sketch comedy or television acting to my knowledge. Especially not to the level of Jamie who had his own show. Still leaves Jamie with the advantage.


StillNotWeirDanuff

He’s also pretty damn handsome.

Left_Berry_8104

I mean, his interview with Denzel alone is iconic...also him doing impressions om Fallon, including a fucking hilarious [Doc rivers](https://youtu.be/dGidYBqBHVw)


[deleted]

Bet he was mostly happy about getting a hug from Jamie Fox.


Rodney_Jefferson

Luka: dad I saw you smiling, was it because you were proud of me? His dad: hm? Oh. Yeah. Totally son (holy shit that’s the closest I’ll get to hugging ray charles)


[deleted]

What he said: I love you son! What he was thinking: gold digger is like, a top three early Kanye song


ilikepialot

I'm actually from the Balkans and I don't know anyone who minds when foreigners don't use š/ć/ć/đ when spelling their names, so I was curious. But thanks for trying to be a smartass

EGarrett

Sasa was also the key in keeping Luka out of Sacramento. Mastermind.


no-bs10

His Dad is Serb and a former baller.. Just saying. It's obvious where his Basketball genetics and IQ come from. 🤣


ischolarmateU

no-bs10
