    When you see Rock, Chappelle,etc perform they are thought provoking. With Hart I feel like he is getting to the point where he is almost minstrel. He better be careful with that physical comedy and loud ? . Make the audience think and laugh. He lacks that thinking part of his act imo.

    But like he said, he not tryin to be them. And its funny that chapelle now gets the 'thinking man's' comedian tag when in comparison, and at his height, he was nowhere near a thinking guy and he's not in rock's league in that regard

    But thats why they say the winners write the history. I mean....you call Kevin Hart a minstrel have you watched Chapelle show layely? He quit bc he felt he was becoming a minstrel

    And b4 anyone tries, i OVERSTAND Chapelle's intellect. But at the end of the day this is comedy. Yall dudes stay tryin intellectualize and sophisticate the ? . I guess Martin was doin buffonery on his show too, huh...

    I've actually heard quite a few people ? on that show for Martin dressing up as his mom and Shenneneh on that show. I don't agree with them, but there's people who don't like the show for that reason and consider it cooning

    Lol Chappelle has always been a thinking man's comedian. I've been following dude way before the Chappelle Show. Even the Chappelle Show had social awareness with skits like The Racial Draft, Black white supremacist, racial music stereotypes,etc. It wasn't just the Lil Jon ? . He forced us to look at how we look at each other from different racial perspectives.

    Killing me softly his stand up special also tapped into to race, sexual objectification of women,etc.

    Yall bet not start hatin on Chappelle.

    Comedic genius

    He was always socially aware no matter how suttle.

    A sketch like "Calvin gets a Job" has social undertones when you really look at it. Chappelle Show is the greatest tv sketch show ever made.

    Sigh. I spoke a lil about this in the boondocks thread

    Its after the fact that people over-analyze an art form like comedy and make it a science.

    Chapelle's main goal was to be funny. Period. Then after the fact, yes, its poignant and telling, but It really doesnt take a lot of intellect to make a Calvin gets a job', or race draft, or pixies, etc. Its just some REALLY funny observations of life, not some super genious social commentary. I'd give that to Rock and some other old heads, not Chapelle

    AMD HE DOESNT HAVE TO BE THAT TO BE ELITE LEVEL FUNNY

    Stop over-intellectualizing comedy!

    not all comedians want to be thought provoking... he even said in this interview he's not that guy...

    It's funny how goof ? in here, want a COMEDIAN to be THOUGHT PROVOKING.
    But when u bring up the concept, of a rapper being THOUGHT PROVOKING, they make it appear irrelevent .

    Watched him on SNL last night. Homie gotta do better. Different story, same delivery. His new routine is "Let Me Explain: I live in Hollywood Now".

    what I seen he was funny..

    The only consistently funny skit was the Chocolate Drop skit. James Brown skit was funny but went on too long. I was high as ? and struggled to laugh.

    You thought so? I thought that Chocolate Drop sketch was cringe worthy. I did turn it off halfway though.

    I kinda see what he was saying about his Instagram/Twitter but ? if you in the movie it's in your best interest for it to do well. So why wouldn't you do something as simple as post a picture with the caption "Go see this.....in theaters on blank".
    ? think he really he went and got a marketing degree.

    But he bout his money, cannot hate on that. S/N I don't think them ? was joking on that last interview. Naim and Spank looked serious as hell.

    "To the victor goes the spoils"

    If Bradd Pitt said it, we'd think nothing of it.

    Part of being elite is driving a hard bargain just becauase you can. Mariah Carey for example does diva ? and its just accepted bc...she can

    Anoyer example is Kanye wanting to be paid for magazine covers. He was right! There are things in entertainment that for 98% of celebs its benefical to them as a person, then there is the 2% that the celeb is so big that themd oin ? is actually more helpful to the company.

    We live in a society where celebs can get paid thousands to have their name on a flyer and/or literally WALK THRU a club for 10 mintues. Companies pay millions for ad space on websites. Youtube pays celebs and regular folk for hits, etc.

    Kev may be ahead of the curve on this. Kev is smart not letting them take the internet for granted just bc tweeting can be done quicker and easier
