The iconic film director, producer, writer, and actor, Spike Lee stopped by Sway in the Morning today to talk about his new upcoming film, Chi-Raq. A film where the girlfriend of a Chicago gang leader (Nick Cannon) persuades other frustrated women to abstain from sex until their men agree to end the senseless cycle of violence.
Since the trailer for this movie dropped, it received mixed reviews from fans -- especially from Chi-Raq central, Chicago. But Spike isn't here to hear it. As a matter of fact, he passionately addressed them in a classic Kanye-fashion and broke down why they're wrong.
While in-studio, he compared Chi-Raq to Chicago's version of his classic film, 'Do the Right Thing.' And if you pay close attention, you'll notice Samuel L. Jackson narrating this movie, as he did in 'Do the Right Thing.'
Watch below as he delivers a strong message to rappers in Chicago, breaks down the storyline, addresses the strong black women in the film, and talks about #BlackLivesMatter.
"Sometimes the truth hurts," Spike Lee tells Sway while closing their interview, "and we didn't tell any lies in this film. We gotta be grown adults and deal with the truth... Let's wake up."
Chi-Raq is in theaters now.

25-year old Iskra Lawrence is quickly gaining lots of attention as a plus-sized model. With her size 14 figure, the British beauty prides herself on being an inspiration for women who don't have the body type that's force fed to them by the media.
"I realized at around 18 that instead of trying to change my body to fit into sample sizes I would try to change the industry," Lawrence told the Daily Mail. "When I signed with my current agencies they helped me realize that I could be a successful model at my size. So I focused on becoming the best version of myself, work harder, research nutrition and work out to feel strong and healthy."
She often posts pics on her Instagram that aren't air brushed.
"oh hey there.. Yes this is clearly a booty pic but do you see why? Because I haven't airbrushed my tiger stripe stretch marks or my cellulite lightening bolts or my back fat because this is my body, I love it it's real and I love posting pictures showing how confident I am because society has taught us we have "flaws" and I'm telling you who gives a.. Because you are more than your body and you get to decide what beauty is," she captioned the photo above.
Check out more Lawrence photos and her dancing to Yo Gotti's "Down In the DM" and Migos' "Fight Night" via her IG below.

"This is how it is: You got those people that are smart enough to know bullsh*t when they see it, and then you got those people who are brainwashed by TV and people having management deals with certain people...I believe in God, right? And peep this: what I've been instilled and what I instill in my son is no matter how much fame you get, remember who you are. So at the end of the day, I'm Wesley. Flip is a name that I made up..."
Lil Flip dropped a ton of knowledge during this exclusive clip with DJ Vlad. On top of speaking on his new lines of work, the Cloverland native addressed the beef between him and T.I. and told us how it all came to an end. "It was a meeting, face to face. Me, him and J. Prince," Lil Flip disclosed as he began to break down how they worked things out. "That's what grown men do - sit down and figure the sh*t out." In the end he said the "cooler head prevailed" before commenting on Lil Keke's stance on the entire ordeal.
Hear about Lil Flip's other business ventures, his current relationship with Scarface, and why he'll never be a yes man in this VladTV interview.
