he can't use those donations to hire an IT guy? :dwillhuh: I admire his consistency but he is an example of working hard and not smart.

These "youtube nikkas" aren't a third as funny as him but they know or hire somebody that knows tech. Honestly, he could be earning millions if he knew how to use the internet. :snoop:

the nikka refuses to hire anyone that know what the fukk they're doing. all the podcasts he's been on. he can even ask kraig to plug him in with tech guys from his show but noooooooo the nikka pride too big for that.

Funniest set I EVER SEEN! He is the ABSOLUTE GOAT in my opinion. :wow:

He has passed Patrice, Bernie, Pryor in my book. Only Chappelle is on his level, but Corey is hood. I can tell that his divorce has really hurt him, but it's making him funny AF. This was my 3rd time seeing him, all of them were great, but this one is amazing. I wouldve seen him all 4 days back to back if I could.



I was thinking and wanted to tell him after the show. If he could make skits out of some of his jokes, it would be Chappelle Show, level funny. Corey comedic greats has never really transferred onto the big screen ever. Corey needs those CaCs to help him setup some skits.

2007-2009:
Corey Holcomb appears on the funniest black radio show of all time, Speedy's Comedy Corner with Lewis Dixx, Tanjareen, TDP, Clayton Thomas, Claudia Jordan, Jonnhy Mack and many show regulars. Outshining everyone and establishing a massive demand from fans for him to be given his own show.

2010: Corey is given a one hour slot, calls his his show "The 5150" at Conga Room in downtown LA, accross from the Staples Center.
He has Zo Williams pop up, Bobby Glanton Smith in the crowd, after searching for a cohost, settles for some lame Mexican single mom in her late 30s called Darlene.

At this point the show was great but was way too short, especially with the ads.
So they gave him an extra hour.
So now he was doing the 2 hour format, 1st hour had a social topic, and the 2nd hour had his more controversial topics.

This format was great and had callers like the legendary Low Lyfe and many country folks who were truck drivers.
He also had a lot of great guests sit in on the show (Zo, Bobby, Claudia, TDP etc) who he had great comedic chemistry with.

Around and 2011/12 the writting was on the wall at Foxxhole, so Corey started doing the 5150 Bootleg show on RMC at the same time he was still on Foxxhole, the RMC was the peak of all fukkery and the funniest the show has ever been.

Darlene disappeared once the Foxxhole cheque disappeared (Definition of down :comeon:) but her absence was the best thing that ever happened to the show and established the star trio of Corey, Bobby and Zo... With live callers and Poetess steering the ship well as producer.

Then he fell out with Poetess, left RMC and was doing shows in Tommy Sotomayor's kitchen :picard::scust:
This was beginning of the janky production, terrible mics, shytty camera, no format, no callers etc...
The show eventually made it to the storage unit, where the stagnation began, however Corey was still funny enough to make the 2 hours hysterical and entertaining, and had great chemistry with Bobby and Zo still (Darlene had returned by now).

..... Then they added Freeze Luv and his impersonations and new energy gave the show a new life.


Someone else can take it forward from here and bring up the fukkery with the various shytty producers of the show like Hotmouth Chris, Genevive etc and the various falling out with many of the cohosts etc.

It's been a 12 year meltdown brehs :wow::francis:

Excellent breakdown. IMO even though Corey has an alpha personality, he's not meant to be the lead voice on a show. The reason why he was so great on SCC & the older 5150 shows, is because he was either a sidekick or had people who he could play off of. Corey was at his best from 2008-2012 but he's been getting worse since then. Some of the worst SCC episodes were when Corey would keep interrupting people to get a joke in and fall flat.
