Kraig is definitely going through a bitter stage. You are in your mid 30s and think what exactly have I accomplished or done? I think he definitely feels he should be at a higher level and finds every reason to complain about it now.

They pave the streets of Hollywood with broken dreams. Kraig used to talk about how how alot of older comedians in the comedy circle when he started out were not rocking with him because he was the fresh talent. Now he is turning into them bitter dudes......For every Eddie Murphy there are 100k dudes who ain't make it.

Alot of these dudes do be putting in hard work in the entertainment industry......putting in years to their craft. At the end of the day though what matters in entertainment is not talent but connections :yeshrug:

I was a bit naive but I didn’t realize how much some comedians hate each other as well. For a business about making people laugh it’s pretty cutthroat and back stabbing.

I think Kraig got a lot of praise during the roast me shows and he’s trying to capitalize on that and become a household name but now it seems like he’s a bitter woman who didn’t get snatched up after 35. Lol

I don’t think Corey is the best guy to be around if you haven’t been successful yet. He will just enable your behaviors.

Does Kraig still sell those buttons lol. I remembered he was selling them shyts, prolly got boxes of them shyts sitting in his room or some shyt.

I think Kraig may have to get on that road or start doing more IG bits.

Even those cats that doing those skits on YouTube have slowed down. I think Big Jah still makes them but it was a slew of them when the pandemic happened. I believe he may be the only one still in that lane.

It's safe to say that the comic lane is too crowded now. It's a lot of 30-45 year old comics all at the same level trying to get that break. That's the hard part there, that lane is very very crowded and everyone is not being different

Man that’s so true. A lot of these comedians came in late 2010s -2016 and all trying to catch fire and break out. My cousin used to watch that guy kevonstage but she complains about how lazy he is and unoriginal now.

A lot of people in their mid30s to 40s not happy where they are and result To just copying what others are doing. lol

I understand why alot of them are bitter......i mean if you work a regular job you atleast get some benefits after a few years - a salary, pension and what not even if you stuck at a deadend job. Alot of these comedians are living off hope and the older they get their chance of making it big only gets smaller.

Even the ones who make very good money off touring like Aries Spears, Corey Holcomb or Paul Mooney are bitter because they ain't make it to that top top level......Thats why Eddie Murphy is unique because he was a superstar by the time he was 25 with specials, albums and movies everywhere :wow:

So what separates a Kevin hart from a Kraig Smith? Is it luck? Work ethic? Networking? I’m talking young up and coming Kevin hart against young up and coming kraig smith or even Corey Holcomb. If you gave both of them the same opportunities what seperates them?

Fukk outta here. Kevin is not bitter and didn't burn bridges unlike Corey and kraig.
Who did they burn bridges with that could put them in kevins position/tier?

I mean based on @jay83 post kraig and corey aint lackin work ethic. Kraig from cali and corey been out there 20+ years so can networking really be the issue?

I havent seen much stand up from kraig but corey is def funnier than kevin but kevin is palatable to cacs

Ive seen kev roast nikkas but none of the nikkas he roasted are good roasters and kraig easily a better roaster than kev.
The dress is the tiebreaker my nikka :umad:
