Looking at Corey, it obvious Corey wants to be a star, a legend the way all the great Comedians are talked about.

As much as he pretends to love being this underground king, unsung hero, your favorite comedians favorite Comedian. He wants to be where Hart, Eddie, Chappelle are at. His wants that acknowledgement off being one off greats and not just on an underground level.

But the path he's chosen don't come with the adulation and whatnots. And it's something that bothers him. Not everyone with his level off talent can handle being the "Underground" and "Unsung" guy. At this point, he either got be real with himself and chase his real dream. Or stay in the underground and stop complaining. This is path you chose.

I think you hit the crux (at least in part) of why Corey be lashing out about the comedy game.

I would add on that Underground Kings don't get the love/their flowers, until they're no longer around to appreciate it, which is really unfortunate.

Okay but here's the issue, Dave Chappelle was the 2nd or 3rd highest grossing comic even during his socalled haitus (2006/7 onwards), he took out millions of dollars out of his own money and recorded all the material he'd made over the years, high quality PRODUCTION... So when Netflix came calling, he simply went into his valut and gave them 2 Pre recoded specials, the easiest $60 Million he's ever made.

Corey has recorded 2 or 3 special in this past decade, I still mantian that his material is by far the funniest living comic, and he simply cannot even get a proper production company to shoot his special.
Like he'll buy Harley Davidson bikes and $3000 gay jackets, but he won't put money into making sure his special is recorded at the highest quality.
This is a guy who has personal access to Mike Eppps, Kevin Hart, Katt Williams (who always records his own specials) and many other great comics.

Like why is EVERYTHING he does janky?...

The merch he sells looks like it was done on Microsoft paint :scust:
The show has shytty mics and video :scust:
His comedy specials are so poorly shot, poorly mixed, terrible lighting etc :scust:

Like everything he does is cheap and janky, but he spends so much money on clothes, hotels, accessories, cars, bikes etc :unimpressed:

Nah bro.
This is literally like going to a job interview for your dream job in your pizza stained t shirt, flip flops, smelling like weed, and then beingad you didn't get the job, even though you're the most qualified and experienced person for the position.

Everything matters, presentation AND the material.

So real! Corey needs a better production team. And needs to do skits. But his acting is so bad, that his comedic talent doesn't usually transfer on screen.

And your parents generation feels the same way about Corey and some others of my generation
I for damn sure don’t think a lot of comedians I grew up watching
Were ever that funny to begin with
Lunell is a prime example
bytch ain’t funny for shyt
And let it be known a lot of them nikkas who pull rank because they were on Comic View, Showtime at the Apollo or Def Comedy Jam or any of the “chitlin” circuit years
Ain’t that funny either
That’s the great thing about comedy
It’s subjective but this is what I find odd
Black people always talk about unity and needing to advance but always shyt on the young generation or up and coming
nikkas become gatekeepers and offer no game
Or the slightest of a helping hand
Now with a forked tongue
Many young people don’t always take advice from elders
This is fact
But the reason for that is the way elders approach young folks
Talk to them any ol kind of way and expect respect
It don’t work like that
On the flipside and I hate doing this
White comics they put people on
They may talk cash shyt about them behind closed doors but they let the younger white folks eat
Hype them none funny muthafukkas to the moon
Amy Schumer was allowed to rock for years
Getting bags left and right
It wasn’t the joke thievery that got here out the paint
It was her being a bytch to the public, rubbing established actors the wrong way and changing the culture at Netflix with the rating system
Having your elders shyt on you in public is detrimental to these young acts
If somebody continuously says you ain’t shyt
You not funny
You don’t deserve them bags you getting
To a person with no confidence
That kills them and they say fukk it
When maybe all they needed was guidance, time and structure
A simple pull to the side and advice on crowd control and other mechanics to the game
I’ll be a c00n to a faceless stranger
Ain’t fukk up about nobody on here :russ:
But you literally perpetuating why young people are frustrated with older people:yeshrug:
Facts

Especially mentioning the way older gens come at the younger

Once again it boils back down to ego

Nikkas can feel how they want about Joe Rogan but his lack of ego built an entire comedy scene

So many cac comedians(many of them talentless) are eating off the planet that Rogan has created with his platform and behind the scenes support

Again black folks gotta have an intervention about our egos

A good example of Rogan like lack of ego is Gucci Mane. The younger gens keep his name alive not only because of his reputation and music, but because he selflessly put so many nikkas on. Those same nikkas he put on kept his name hot while he was locked up and had hits ready for him when he got out

I think this was the moment Ryan realized it was time for him to move on from 5150:francis:.

Why does Corey always “know a nikka” but, no one ever knows him enough to get a big role :comeon:.

big facts, Ryan is done, done :russ:

Corey never wants to hear a different perspective
That’s the problem with a lot of old nikkas
Yeah you been in the mud getting it but the world changes and evolves around you
Being able to adapt to culture swings is how people get on in this world
Corey was trying to son Ryan with that internet comedian shyt and other jabs if you listen closely(not saying that in a dissing manner my g)
Lunell tried that with Karlous on 85 South last Friday
These old nikkas are so scared to pass the torch to young nikkas and it’s sad
We see that in politics, music and ever other facet of life when it comes to the fractured black community
Instead of taking in what Ryan said, digesting and calmly having discourse
Corey got just like he gets with everybody else
Homotional then he started instigating and trying to power up Crunk Juice and Marcus
He used the same tactic when Aries was on with Zo
He did that shyt one night with Kraig and Nate
And he damn sure did it with Zo and Freeze
But it’s mighty funny when comedians he respects and know he can’t pull that rank shyt with showed up
nikka tucked tail just like he did with Bill Bellamy
Corey is an amazing comedian
Anybody who enjoys comedy knows that
But he is the biggest cappin, homotional, hypocritical ass nikka I’ve ever seen
He sucks the life force out of a nikka to the point you don’t want to argue
He also doesn’t understand at this grown ass age
How to play the game
Nobody is saying soft shoe or kiss ass
But you have to play the game by certain rules until you get your feet in the door
It’s funny how he says Hollywood picks black celebrities
But if you dare say shyt about Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Nick Cannon
It’s a bunch of pleas copped and “BUTS:damn:
Corey is the old bitter nikka in the office, store, club
Mad at other nikkas because they can’t come to grips with reality that it’s their fault for not being further ahead in life
Corey always talks about opportunities taken away from him
But I guarantee he has had alot of opportunities presented to him
But fukked them up in the name of being A REAL nikka
One of the main reasons I stopped listening to Joe Budden pod and Corey's years before is all that negativity and hatin ass energy

All them slick manipulative ways of shytting on nikkas every chance you get and getting defensive when nikkas notice and call it out. Being around nikkas like that is exhausting and feels like a waste of time and energy

One of the best things about 85 South is they don't ever do that messy ass shyt and really try to get the best vibe and energy out of guests

These bitter old nikkas be passive aggressive and messy as hell like bytches
