From what I’ve seen from Kevin he talks about his life and not Black or social issues. I didn’t see him changing that up, also most probably don’t want to hear that from him because that’s it his comedic voice.
He talks about the same stuff he’s always talked about in my opinion.
every time Kevin TRIES to do the social stuff?
He gets killed he can't take criticism or controversy
He is not comfortable with it
its out of his depth
he can't improv it or even flip it on some absurd edge
To me that puts you in a SPECIFIC category of comic.
He in superficial funny country.
which is FINE
I don;t want yo saying the n word cursing lame white vblack jones etc
and you aint got to be George Carlin
but notice even Eddie and Cosby could flip stuff by using their OWN experiences to address social stuff
just off them being so damn SMART and talented.
Ellen gets real even comics I don;t really RELATE too like Eddie Izzard are FUNNY and honest in their OWN truth.
I don't find Mike Epps funny
but I seen some routines where he explains HIS LIFE and SUFFERING and the hood and drugs and death and racism in a way that you FEEL that sh*t
I aint NEVER FEEL nothing Kevin tried to to present.
HELL I even heard Seinfeld get raw in his OWN way about just frustration with people an success etc.
Sinbad too
its amazing that Kevin has been able to be THIS successful without that element of realness
AGAIN that is FINE
I do NOT want or EXPECT that from every comedian
but it does MEAN something
and puts you i n a certain place.
again Billy Crystal is FUNNY period
Kevin aint NEVER gonna be that.
but he will never be Bernie Pryor Patrice Rock Cosby Carlin Murphy et al
again that's fine
but honestly I feel like he is a Black Dane Cook with longevity
