Has Martin Lawrence always been an introvert?

I'm talking about how he acts in interviews. Seinfeld has a relationship with him going back decades so he came out of his shell a bit more in that one. If you watch his other interviews like the Ellen one from a few weeks ago he comes off much more reserved. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, just something I've noticed from Eddie and Martin going back at least a decade.
Eddie is like 2 years from 60 years old. What do u expect him to be like?

Have you seen "You So Crazy"?

Chris Rock said his worst experience was following Martin's act and Martin made him reevaluate his whole shyt and step his game up.

He may have fell off a bit, but breh was the top standup comic at one time. Your statement applies to will Smith or Marlon wayans, not Martin.



Yeah, I have seen You So Crazy but it wasn't that great, it wasn't that bad, it was pretty decent. Back then, I loved it as a teeanger but now pretty much meh.


:what: A comedian with classic stand up and the host of a classic stand up show for years isn’t a stand up comic?

I came out wrong but he's a great host but his stand up material ain't that great. Let's say I wouldn't put him in my top 15.

Honesty, I don't remember any of his bits joke. I gave him a chance when he came back on Showtime and I ain't even laugh at all.

The Last time I saw him he was so comfortable on Jimmy Fallon show so after that he changed.



Martin had a new show with Kelsey Grammer about the lawyer show but shyt got cancelled that fast as fukk. He couldn't get the movies, tv series, then did the stand up comedy on Showtime but it was terrible. Til Will Smith came in and do the Bad Boys 3. It looks like Will was doing Martin a favor especially I saw the trailer and I wasn't feeling it.

No offense, but are you even black?

Chris Rock on Martin making him re-evaluate being a comedian:


"Martin ushered a new comic age. Everything black in comedy in the past 15 , 20 years is because of Martin. "

"I had to follow martin. So I'm waiting in the back then I heard something in the crowd, like a fight or some shyt. I'm like aw man, what the fukk is going on? I step out to look at the stage and people are laughing harder than I've ever seen people laugh before, like they're hurting laughing. That muthafukka martin was a beast"

"You know it's a bad set when when you're still talking about the guy before you 30 minutes into your set"

"After Martin kicked my ass, 3 weeks later Def Comedy Jam premiered and I couldn't get booked. All of a sudden I wasn't cool anymore. I was the old corny comic. He made me go back to the drawing board."

idk...he’s been different since he had the heat stroke tho

He definitely lost that edge he had earlier in his career. I can't pin point what it is but there was a noticeable change in tone in his comedy after his show ended.

What else y’all expect :martin: to do? He ain’t gone have the same type of energy he had 30 years ago. And Eddie Murphy said he acts the way he does now because he smokes weed, so he’s high all the time
Eddie said that about himself or Martin?

Why are y'all saying he's on meds? Meds for what?

I've been checking out some Bad Boys 3 promo. It seems like Will is carrying all the momentum himself. But then again Will is charasmatic as hell so its hard to tell
