I know what Cedric The Entertainer commercial he's talking about :mjlol:
I don't think they're funny. At all.
And every point Aries made was on point.
But they're both mixed. And both came from the suburbs. And were both raised by white mothers.
So my question is how exactly are they supposed to act?:jbhmm:


They supposed to act they way they do :yeshrug:

The real beef is with Hollywood's propensity to choose mixed people yo fill their black people quota in shows/movies. They been doing that shyt since forever :beli:

Not even surprised.

That's wussap.

Who are your favorite stand ups?
Good interview. I agree with what he said. Key and Peele not too authentic in some ways. Aries Spears a funny nikka though :laff:

They are authentic...what he's really saying is they aren't really black enough for him/black people...but they are biracial cats from the suburbs and use that as the basis for a lot of their comedy. They are well aware they aren't cool enough or black enough for black people, they make fun of that shyt all the time. Keanu is about some corny suburban nikkas that have to venture into the hood and try to blend in, in order to rescue their cat :laugh:

I can respect taking shots at yourself in that manner more than the same hand full of impressions for over a decade, and I fukk with Aries.

Comedy Central was desperate for a Chappelle's replacement....impossible feat.

I would have liked to have seen somebody like Jerrod Charmical with a similar set up, he's fukking dope.

Racializing taste and restricting taste based on race and discrediting someone's race based on ridiculous notions of what being black is.
Terrible thread.
And I don't understand why the racial makeup of their audience is a discussion in the first place, or what this "chosing" thing is.

some of you dudes are soooo predictable

he wasnt hating on them at all, he gave them their props and said that their brand of comedy is more from the "white spectrum" which reflects their backgrounds...

a lot of you need to learn the difference between an observation and a criticism ...

he told no lies....


For the record I dont find them funny , and I dont find Kevin Hart funny either

This nikka here was on the same show with the both of them not their fault they grinded and got their own show :why:

If he had the right connections he could have made something of himself instead of being a slob. and a hater...

And TBH key and peele arent funny at times but when it is, it's comic gold... They took their shyt and ran with it, what did he do??? Did he audition for any hollywood movies, write any scripts? I mean what the fukk this just makes him looks like a fukking hater man...

And this isnt the first time he's talked about these nikkas... :why:

Key and Peel is a funny show regardless.

I don't watch it regularly but its a solid comedy show. Better than 90% of the comedy on TV.

I hate how washed up entertainers always pull this "black community" shyt when they run out of opportunities.

You obviously didn't watch the interview. It's cool, though.
