Cultureshock: Chris Rock's 'Bring the Pain': Tupac squared up to Chris over his‘N*ggas Vs Black’ Bit

[ThrobbingHood]

Chris Rock reflects on his SNL firing, being upstaged by Martin Lawrence in A&E's Cultureshock

Spoiler

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. Even if you’re not a stand up nerd like me, you’ll love it. Talks about how Chris Rock was hyped to be the next Eddie Murphy but flopped on SNL. Was upstaged by Martin when he opened for Chris and how he wasn’t embraced by the black community until ‘Bring The Pain”.

Top 5 dead or alive.

42:20 for the TuPawg section.

Your timeline is off. BringThe Pain was 1996.

Bigger and Blacker was 1999.

I just looked it up, you're right. For some reason, I always think the "nikkas vs. Black People" routine was in his 1999 special.

I can believe that. Rock has come out on record saying he regrets performing that bit.

Trevor Noah catches that feeling perfectly (even though I can’t stand that faggit) near the end of this documentary.

So all poor black people are ignorant?

Nah it wasn't.. Unless you specifically and more importantly EXCLUSIVELY identify "Poor Black people" with thieves, criminals and hooligans.

You do you though...

I think it’s good to see how it would be received today. It’s a reflection of how much more sensitive we’ve become over the past 20 years.

In the same way we look back at Eddie Murphy Delirious. The over the top homophobia is cringe to look at now but it was a sign of the times.

Sure I agree somewhat and I like the doc so far probably will check the other parts tomorrow.
