Katt Williams :: I Paved The Way For Kevin Hart

[Ziggiy]

It's only a couple comics who have a legitimate claim to "paving the way".


Richard Pryor
Paul Mooney
Bill Cosby
Red Foxx
Eddie Murphy
Chris Rock


I almost want to put Martin Lawrence and Chappelle in that list too

Chappelle > Rock

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Chappelle > Rock

Not at Stand Up.

And you can tell Katt does a lot of drugs and has a high opinion of himself but he didn't really say anything disrespectful. nikkas just be looking for beef sometimes.


On a related note, I just saw a low budget black movie with Kev and Katt in bit roles. .. produced by Nick Cannon, nonetheless. Def worth the watch, if you're into low budget black movies like I am.

 

[BlackMajik]

Neither have made a "Killing Me Softly". Neither will ever make a show that turns the world on its head like "Chapelle Show"

But Kevin had the legendary show "The Big House"

Not at Stand Up.

Chappelle > Rock
at standup and movies... Plus Dave never put on a dress

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Dave is hilarious but I never found his stand ups on the level of Murphy, Pryor and Rock.

 

[Ricky Church]

IMO since Kevin Hart blew up, he seems like he caters to a wider audience, like white people more-so than Katt.

years ago when Kevin Hart was on the come up, he was funnier to me, now when I watch anything he's in (standup/movie) I rarely chuckle.

 

[DPresidential]

nikkas really in here saying Chappelle is GOAT level like Pryor, Eddie C. Rock & Skinny Martin(You SO Crazy era)?

If we are talking about a comedian who will make a person laugh across all demographics, I would say Chappelle is up there w/ Rock w/ that ability.

However,

Black comedy, for black audiences, dealing w/ black issues?

Brehs... Chappelle is no where near GOAT caliber. Hilarious dude, and the 1st season of Chappelle was a gamechanger but...

Wait...


Chappelle's Comedy-ography w/ his stand up and the Chappelle show(1st Season)

Maybe... one day he'll be considered, but not today. He was never the "clear cut king of comedy" at any point in his career.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Katt threw shots/jokes at Chappelle, guess he thought Dave disappeared for good, but Dave lurked twitter and responded. Katt tried to counter, Dave simply destroyed him with reference to their level of success comparison. Pretty sure you can google it. Dave's jokes were just far more witty, you could hear his delivery when you read it. lol. Katt started it, Dave finished it, literally.

 

[Ziggiy]

Chappelle > Rock

Both of them are natural comedians to the point where it see that being funny is part of their DNA. It comes down to preference I'd probably argue that Rock = Chappelle is a fair assessment

 

[Ziggiy]

And Kevin Hart gets unfair hate. Dude is funny, he's not GOAT level or anything but Laugh At My Pain is some legit hilarious stuff and he deserves his success

IMO since Kevin Hart blew up, he seems like he caters to a wider audience, like white people more-so than Katt.

years ago when Kevin Hart was on the come up, he was funnier to me, now when I watch anything he's in (standup/movie) I rarely chuckle.

Thats not really fair when he had a full tv series on BET, and made two romantic comedies with a 90% black cast, and collaborated with ice cube on a smash hit.

it seems like that but its because white people like his comedy; he isn't changing what he does.

I've converted to not hating on Kevin hart, at all

 

[ECA]

I notice you've been fighting all this Chappelle GOAT talk, I applaud u. Dave is great, but Im not ready to put him past Chris Rock, much less Eddie and Pryor

Dave Chappelle's delivery alone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chris Rock's

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Dave Chappelle's delivery alone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chris Rock's

N1gga please. Chris Rock's subject matter and observations are like no other. Chappelle hasn't did a standup routine yet that was better than Bring the pain
