    Bruh You Have A Long Track Record Of Creative Success and Excellence and Should Probably Not Be Directing Your Voice or Energy Towards Addressing What's Most Likely Jealousy and/or Malicious Intent Being Spread By One Of The Numerous "Grief Merchants" Trolling The Endless Frontiers Of Cyber Space, Where Any Attention (Good or Bad) Is Deemed As Success .. It's Sometimes Best To Let The Silly, Petty, Ignorant and Unimportant Things Go Under Your Feet (never over your head) and Just Keep Moving and Succeeding . . Don't Let Anyone Especially A Random Stranger Make You Defend or Validate Your Proven Success or Offer Any Apologizes For Your Success ... Just Keep On Doing What Your Doing Because Man It Works !!

    LMFAO - get the fuck outta here. Ain't nobody concerned with that nigga. Art is meant to be critiqued and not everybody is going to like your shit. That's not synonymous with them keeping your name in their mouth. The real shade is that he's not even mentioned that much on the site like he's trying to make it seem.

    What seems to be missed in all of this is that this struggling site is not our careers; however his wack ass web series with non-existent audio is though.

    I must thank @takeyourmeds91 for giving me the idea for Pierre's new screen name "offhismeds18" I subscribed to his series but gave up because it just never got better. I listened to the long interview posted here. Cypher Avenue gave him a chance to make his case. He failed. Nuf said.

    Artist are sensitive about their work, however they should expect criticism of said work from the moment they put it out there. It does seem, in this case and from the video, its more personal.

    So since the videos were short I watched them and now I want to reclaim my time!!!

    1. How is mentioning Lamont twice in 2-3 years considered a "need to talk about him all the time"?! He's the one that sent us press materials to promote HIS weak web series. True, I reached out for the podcast interview, but only because I wanted him to defend his work. Most ppl that listened said he came off bad and clueless. But wait, don't business men and artists WANT ppl to talk about their work? All press is good press, I thought.

    2. What does "struggling for content" have to do with needing donations? After that Dopeness Podcast interview to now, I'm starting to think this dude has a learning disability. I mean, he doesn't know about copyright law or art criticism...

    3. 50,000k subscribers and millions of views yet still no one outside of the small Black Gay Community knows who you are. Even in that community, many only know him by name because we were one of the only sites to promote his work. And every producer/actor that has worked with him that I've spoken to in private told me they thought his work sucked.

    4. We're actually working on a site re-design, but this has been in the works since last year (we have Squad Member receipts). So he gets no credit for it when that happens.

    5. What exactly does #LGBTfrauds mean? We're not LGBT? So all this time we've been straight men pretending to be gay existing purely to bash his film work? #LearningDisability

    6. And can we discuss the #AgingOut hashtag...How do you "Age Out" of blogging? Also, is he getting personal and attacking our age? Because if he is, I think I can find a few personal things about him to attack. Hypothetically speaking, of course. #HeMakesPornWithSexyModels #ToComepensateForHisOwnAppearance

    This was petty as hell. Don't get mad just because someone called your web series what it is, trash. I tried to support him, but I can't get over the cringiness of it all.

    It's complicated
    I'm sorry but he is starting to sound like a jilted lover who can't get over the fact that someone, who once cared for him, doesn't want to be with him anymore. As a professional, it's never a good luck to engage a blogger/journalist regarding their review of your work. At least to the extent that Lamont is engaging Cypher Avenue. Like a jilted lover, he took the breakup with Cypher Avenue personally when he didn't have to.

    Last, despite his attempts to minimize the influence of Cypher Avenue in the LGBT blogosphere, he is demonstrating the vast impact and reach of the articles and reviews written on the site. Based on his overreaction to the reviews(seeking legal counsel), it is clear to me that the reviews had an adverse impact on his business or bottom line. He likes to think his supporters aren't checking for Cypher Avenue but it looks as if many of them read the reviews and believed them, thus overshadowing the public relations spin he put out for his own work. It hit dog does holler and Lamont is demonstrating that he has taken a few serious blows to his ego and his professional reputation.

    I may not agree with every article or review written on Cypher Avenue, but i'm proud of the founders for pushing back on these attempts to regulate free thought and opinion on the internet. And if Lamont wants to encourage his supporters to donate to Cypher Avenue instead of donating to his own professional endeavors, then that shows his lack of intelligence. I'm sure he can use the money.

    Welllll, I don’t have a dog in this fight since I event watched the show, and therefore, didn’t read the review.

    I’ll say, though, that when you put out content for an audience, criticisms (both thoughtful and hateful) are to be expected. People will either like your work or hate it and there’s no way around that. The way you respond, however, is telling and can really do something to your reputation. Just take it or leave it.

    As someone who’s had to do it for 4 years, it’s hard to listen to someone point out all the flaws of your work, especially in front of a full class. In the end, I’ve found the harshest and most blunt critiques to be the most helpful.

    Sad. Sorry but mature artists not only need but they appreciate criticism. When I was in the newspaper biz I loved having an editor and critics go over my stuff, it’s like having a spotter or personal trainer, they tighten your shit up.

    He should spend more time working on his projects. This just seems like a way to get people to talk about his work by coming up with some drama.

    Both sides should get an uptick in views at least.

    Black people love praising people just for doing stuff. If So and So made a web series, they could have filmed it upside down with reverse left and right audio and someone would still praise them for making the content.

    For example....



    Now if people were not supporting this level of quality they wouldn't continue to to produce it. I also understand working with what you have but still.

    Everyone wants to be liked and if he spent hours on this I can understand not wanting to hear that it's poor but that's how you improve. Take a step back and see where people are coming from and correct course for next time.

    I guess he needs a "mainstream " critic to say to call out his work before he'll accept it.

    I don't recall anyone else trying to come for CA over negative criticism. I thought getting negative critiques was part of being an artist or entertainer just like positive feedback. Sounds to me like someone needs to douche, take a warm bath, and chill pill relax. It's not that serious.

    Short version: We posted about his new web series a few months ago. Nothing negative, just a “here’s a new web series by Lamont Pierre.” He responded by filing DMCA copyright infringement claims saying we had been illegally stealing his copyrighted work for years on our site (screenshots and YouTube video links). We thought about fighting it by claiming fair use as the links were all reviews of his work but decided he wasn’t worth it. We took (most) of his photos and screenshots down, then spoke about the incident on a podcast back in May. He finally heard the podcast then made the videos posted in the Original Post.

    As others have mentioned, if Cypher Avenue is "struggling" (we're not) and "irrelevant" (we're as relevant as he is), then why would he even bother getting upset about our "tone" or being respected?

    I expected a response from him but this is just weird. I kinda feel bad for this guy...not because I think he's not a good filmmaker....mainly because with all of the work he puts into his films, he still hasn't gotten any recognition beyond our site and BGCLive.

    to be honest he brings shame to filmmakers like myself. as an artist critique is part of the game period! good, bad, or indifferent he can't stand the heat so he needs to get the fuck out of the kitchen period! he is no better than these trash ass web series that are nothing more than soft core porn with dried up pornstars trying to stay relevant. man this dude is clearly a little mentally off, and the comments of guys supporting him they are just mindless idiotic bots fucking trash bins all around! to be honest for him to go at y'all about age is a low blow and tbh he is ashamed of his appearance, he is dark skin and fat therefore deemed unattractive in our community when it comes to dating, sex, blah blah blah, he is battling some internal self hate and for him to say y'all are self hating and homophobic is a stretch! yes you two have critique gay culture and the community and dating but who the hell hasn't?! this community sucks tbh and these niggas are trash, Lamonte needs to chill the fuck out get a PR team and focus on going mainstream and getting buddy buddy with white gays cause they will clearly will appreciate his lack luster work. audio is important just like storylines, character development, etc he is super petty and needs to go back to the drawing
