Definitely underrated. Most of his jokes, at least at these roasts, were a little higher brow than the standard insults that everyone else would sling. He reaches down and grabs a handful of mud in this one though. He really gives Rickles the business in this clip. Look at how astounded the other panelists are when he delivers the jokes. Way to go Nipsey.

His own research and work should have been enough. This is a sick society that looks at the average people as the only sick ones when they started this stuff.
