Sinbad was legit funny but it was tough for him to get too much work because he had a very specific comedy style. He was built to entertain the mas and the grandmas in a sense that was always kind of his niche, but no he would tell you himself, he was not at Eddie Murphy's level, especially in the 80's and early 90's. After the 2 Michael J's and Prince, Eddie Murphy was arguably
#4 after those dudes and was top 10 celebrity black white or otherwise. He wasn't just funny dude had the it factor, personality, great material, and good looks (no homo, but you gotta appeal to chicks too, because who do you go to the movies with most of the time). Sinbad, never really had those things though I think he is underrated. Also lol at Sinbads coke habit he didn't have none, he saw what that shyt did to Richard Pryor.
