Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Safe enough for him to get rich off them
every frat boy in america was saying 'fukk yo couch' man. dave chappelle was the first modern black comedian where random white people at work would be talking about him man, to be fair it was probably mostly from his show . his style of comedy is more appealing to white people and hence why burress and carmicheal are damn near carbon copies and have mostly white fanbases
that is beyond wrong

pryor and murphy and rock had white people LOVING them

unless by modern you mean 200s and after.. but shyt chris rock was 96 so it wasn't really a gap

Sorry breh. The demand for stereotypical black comedy is relatively low in this day and time. Nobody wants to hear "real nikka" jokes.

nikkas even saying Chappelle was cac jokes. I'm glad that era is dead. nikkas get to evolve and do more than just hood comedy. Now the onus is for some nikka to step up the hood comedy genre. It will happen eventually and it will be great. till then...

they weren't real n*ggas they just weren't scared to speak their mind


this soft ass Kevin Hart generation of comedians tho:hhh:


and corey holcomb is NOT funny

Corey Holcomb is bitter and mean spirited. He's proabably funny to coli nikkas, but that "I'm just keeping it real comedy" era has been done to death and by much better comedians than Corey Holcomb.

yeah that era is thru
we just need our new comedians to be witty

The illest thing about it is the comparison to rap. If a old nikka bring up the fact that "mainstream rap" is garbage the first thing nikkas will say is...well shyt, play that old shyt and shut the fukk up. RIGHT. Ok then go pop in your comic view VHS from 97 and have fun. I ain't trying to see or hear the same acts 5 comedians in a row, talking about how they got beat growing up, or how it was in the hood, etc.. nikkas finally evolving and yall want the same shyt from 35 yrs ago. Pryor did it in Stand up. Murphy did it in stand up. Foxx did it on TV and set a standard that hasn't been replicated since. Just duplicated.

Nah SOME old shyt wouldn't be funny some shyt is still dope. but its the GREATS. same way i can bump illmatic now doesn't mean Master P first CD isn't hard to listen to. the problem with "hood" or "real" comedians is that unless they are extremely talented, they all sound the same. ESPECIALLY stand up wise.

Nah he's not funny to just this site he's just funny. Chris Rock said he has the potential to be one of the greatest
