After watching these videos what do you feel are the keys to Kevin Hart's success? How is he so much bigger than other comedians? His run he has been going on is amazing.

:demonic:He sacrificed his soul to the Illuminati











Nah for real he just works harder than anyone else. Its never about whose the most talented, hard work will always triumph. Hollywood picks its token black comic relief sidekick and casts them over and over til they get played out from being the same character in every movie. He is just maximizing his opportunity better than the others previously like Chris tucker etc

When you say he works harder than anyone else what does that mean when it comes to a stand up comic? I don't really find him funny to be honest, but in terms of hard work does he go on tour more often/on the road more often than other comics?

And when you say he is maximizing his opportunity, what if others don't have that same opportunity as him?

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.:yeshrug: 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.:mjpls:

He let Hollywood execs run through his culo.


In reality probably just marketing and hard work. I don't think dudes very funny but he was a nobody a few years back. Then "alright, alright, alright, you gon learn today" :dead: the coke generation loved that shyt

Will you admit luck plays a role as well? If other comics grind just as hard as he does they still might never get the same opportunities he does.

Also, do you think Kev is bigger than Seinfeld was at his prime?

consistency and cross marketing across multiple markets.

The way he went after the active (exercising) community was flawless. Made a point of hosting runs while on tour. Nike noticed and he finessed it into a crosstrainer.

He started doing crossover movies as soon as he could with scene stealing performances. Then taking an ownership stake when he began starring in his own movies

Charging Hollywood for access to his Fanbase to further monetize his fan base.

He continued to work with majority black viewing platform like BET when he didn't have to.

His format for doing specials every two years helps to keep him relevant in comedy. Something comics before him have let go of when they crossed over.
