How is he so popular?
Dude grinded away until he got them comedy specials. (Don't like his shyt, but respect the hustle)
His jokes resonated with a LARGE group of people and he built up a following. (Large white fan base and he doesn't do alot of 'white bashing' material)
Then he got that Hollywood push and got typecast as the same character over and over again. ( Tell me Ride along 1,2 and CI ain't the same thing.)
Plus he doesn't get into trouble or is abrasive as other comics right now, like Katt Williams.
Katt is more my speed and if he wasn't plagued with drama off the court he could have ate off of movies that weren't just straight to video hood shyt after Next Friday and Norbit but yeah, Kevin Hart is loved for his personality and his little man complex schtick. He's safe and America loves safe black people.
