I do breh. I know the nikka was larger than life. I mean the dude was fukking homeboys with MJ.I dont think you realize how big eddie murphy was breh
Just comparing then to now, Hart is #30 in top followers on twitter, so he ain't exactly a slouch in the fame department. Only maybe 3 black folk more popular than him on social media.
or boomerang?What is Kevin Hart's "Coming to America"?
I'll wait
I'm not saying Kevin Hart isn't big... I'm just saying if you removed Kevin Hart and put anyone else's name there they would still lose to Eddie Murphy.
The question was unfair to start with, no one is touching Eddie
I was born in 87 and I've sitll seen Raw and Delirious more times than I've seen Let me Explain and Laugh at my Pain
And I doubt i'm alone in that
And was supposed to be in ghostbusters...Imagine if he HADN'T turned that project down
Never heard that before,i assume he was supposed to play Winston ?

Do you guys think Kevin Hart is as famous as Eddie Murphy was in the 80's?
This question is for the older dudes on the board who are old enough to remember how big Eddie Murphy was in the 80's.
I know eddie murphy fell off sometime around Daddy day care- but people forgot he was a megastar in the 80s/90s
ALSO- back then there was no "Reality show celebritys" (minus real world) and no IG fame, no Youtube or social media fame- Meaning there were LESS celebritys back then and each one really seemed bigger
Eddie Murphy owned America in the late 80s and literally could go anywhere- Kevin Hart really i sstill known as a "black comedian" Murphy broke past that

Eddie has had a more successful movie career, but Kev's comedy shows have out performed Eddie's. 
on the gut reaction to that. I'm not saying Kev is funnier, but his comedy shows are doing bigger numbers than Eddie's. Eddie is one of the GOATs, but Kev is coming up. I think what keeps Kev competitive in comparisons to Eddie and other comedic greats is his ability to market himself and his projects.

He actually owned America in the early 80s more so....

did he have his own signature shoe thoStature's not close. Eddie was on another level. He had multiple lanes and he succeeded in all of them. Kevin filled an arena on his comedy thing, that's commendable.
Eddie filled movie theaters, arenas, had a record that went platinum, he had TV with Saturday Night Live
Soul Plane but that's about it
He wasn't the star
That wasn't classic
He was just In that movie.
He's not on Eddies level.
Kevin hart doesn't even have a film that's better then The Golden Child.

Eddie hit the perfect trifecta of classics all in a row. Boomerang, Coming to America, Harlem Nights. Don't even mention Kevin's name in the same breath as the GOAT.
