DOPEST Video of the Week: "Eat Your Feelings" by The New Negroes Featuring Method Man
/
Our new DOPEST Video of the Week comes from The New Negroes who shared an original new video taken from their sixth episode. The Lance Bangs-directed "Eat Your Feelings" finds Open Mike Eagle and Method Man at a lavish dinner party alongside comedian Quinta Brunson. Though instead of fine food, the three indulge themselves with luxury items like Rolex's, Gucci, and Michael Jordan rookie cards, proving that food isn't good enough for their expensive tastes.
The New Negroes with Baron Vaughn & Open Mike Eagle is a socially aware stand-up and music series. Vaughn and Eagle took inspiration for the series and title from the term “New Negro,” as popularized during the Harlem Renaissance, and it refers to black Americans speaking up, telling their own stories and affirming their various identities to dismantle outdated assumptions and beliefs.
