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


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.
:wow:
42:20 for the TuPawg section.
Thanks
SNL white writers couldn't write comedy for Black stars...............Damon Wayans flopped on that show too

Damon didn't flop he got fired for improving when he played that cop or security guard.
He flopped. He was one of the most talented comedians in that era....show didn't know how to showcase that talent.

When In Living Colour tv show came out......everybody saw how talented he was

Its a good joke but to act like it doesn't walk the respectability politics line is just disingenuous, hence why Chris Rock supposedly saying he "regrets" the joke, because as black people we can automatically contextualize it but outsiders will/would use it as ammunition. Trevor Noah expresses this sentiment in that video.

Yeah people underrate how different shyt was back then as far as comedy went. I mean everybody is trying hard to include everybody in everything now which is cool, but bask then the same comedian could tear the roof off of Def jam and get straight up crickets at some white club. Seems like shyt changing like it did ended up being bad for a lot of black comedians.

I'm convinced that people just post to post and create disagreements out of thin air.
I didn't dispute that he was fired. I said that he flopped. Both are true.

They didn't know what to do with him...so he was frustrated.That frustration led to him ad libbing in the sketch which got him canned.

Tyson was losing to Holyfield.....he saw an out and he took it....twice.

Get it now?

No you are simply wrong he was on 11 episodes thats not enough time to flop is my point. Most are given very little to do when the first debut on snl.

that black people vs nikkas bit has become the go to logical reasoning for c00ns and cacs alike.
I'm glad a real nikka like pac let him know. Never understood how so many black people got behind that bit.
I literally had to knock a white kid out in elementary school and get suspended for 3 days because he tried to use that bit to excuse why i shouldn't be offended when he calls other black people ******s.
