Could our revered entertainers survive in this era?

[Formerly Black Trash]

Richard Pryor was fukking trannies...and made jokes about it

Would we be cool with that? Or would he become a mockery like Katt Williams?

Also was Eddie Murphy really just giving that chick a ride home...he had bad women why get a transsexual?

the social media is an entirely different environment

so a lot of the people who were big back in the day could not have done many of the things they did and not caught any feedback

For instance do you think Michael Jordan stories would have been kept quiet in the social media era.....to be fair many of his sycophants would have still been the same way

 

[I AM WE ARE]

they would find a new outlet, honestly i think it would be better cause we would have less of the zestiness going on these days. kevin hart would be non-existent imo think about how much talent was in harlem nights, coming to america, lets do it again, the car wash ,just to name a few. these corny mfs wouldn't have a chance. lets not talk about sports, you think odb really coming across that middle with ronnie lott back there? or dennis rodman playing in today's era? music wise dmx, nas, scarface albums from back in the day would do major numbers, there would be no drake, young thug,etc. they would have put people in their place. you hear the jim brown story aobut how he stopped the fighting on any given sunday? we just don't have that these days

fukking trannies is accepted in Hip-Hop in 2016, I don't see why we wouldn't accept a comedian doing the same

 

[Columbo]

If anything it'd probably be more accepted now

That Al Green grits story would've been huge...especially with what happened "immediately" afterwards....Marvin Gayes exploits....

Yes.

1986 or 2016, the cream always rises to the top.
