Hannibal blowing up and recieving a role in the new Spider-Man movie is all I need to know about this fukkINg c00n. Nobody heard of him before he aired out Cosby.
Nah I don't think soley, dude was doing comedy specials and was on tv shows before the video dropped, nominated for an Emmy, wrote for snl and 30 rock, which at the time were 2 huge NBC shows. It no doubt helped propel him due to media coverage, but don't act the breh was a nobody.
Yup
He was in Variety Magazine in 2010 as a comic to watch.
He had a special air on Comedy Central in 2012. Another one aired in early 2014.
He had performed on a variety of late night shows.
He's on a tv show on Adult Swim that started in 2012 and one on Comedy Central that started in early 2014. And a ton of guest appearances in other tv shows.
Dude made an appearance as himself on GTA V
He was doing tours with Chappelle, getting love from Dave and Chris Rock.
Patrice O'Neal and others saying Hannibal was that dude and that he was coming up hard.
saying dude was hungry, how he opened for him one night, 2 years later he shows up and it's the Hannibal and Patrice Show.
Don't know when that footage is from but Patrice died in late 2011.
Cats acting like Hannibal was some random dude doing amateur open mic for the first time at some random bar in the middle of nowhere that became a star, ignoring the fact that he was putting in major work and his profile had been increasing for years. Dude would've been in the same position without the Cosby shyt.
