true
i always viewed Holcomb as a poor mans' Patrice ONeal, cause Patrice did all that you mentioned except better and he knew how to network with cacs
When I listened to the Black Philip Show a couple years ago I came away thinking Patrice was a miserable ass nikka just like Corey. but so many edgelord cacs like Rogan and Andrew Schulz view him as a Goat. Corey don't even got that safety net to fall back on
Patrice's problem was that he seemed that he came off as an a$$hole at times to people and shot himself in the foot with opportunities (Spike Lee, Chris Rock), but he was still very likeable. Before he died he admitted that he was the problem and working on it. His friends would talk about how execs would still want to get Patrice signed up for something even after he blew them off.
Corey however has called so many people all types of homos, sissies, fakkits that people that could help him have been hit with that label or the people they work with. Saying people that actually network and build relationships in the industry are letting execs and others stick it in their ass is not endearing. At some point all of that gay talk is self telling because no straight man is super obsessed with that shyt unless they do it in secret, have those thoughts or got touched.
All of the shyt he has been doing for years have caught up with him and he has no one to blame but himself.
