[@Riles3152]

Say what you want about Cosby, but him basically telling Richard that if he was going to be big, he had to develop his own style, was actually some of the greatest advice Pryor could have ever received. I believe Pryor was the greatest Stand-up comedian of all-time, but Cosby (before the scandal) was more groundbreaking. He represented the black community with a great sense of dignity and respect that really needed to be showcased at that point and time especially. Pryor was probably the 1st black comedian to display a human quality about him that was able to resonate with people of all different backgrounds. Both made a unique impact in different ways.

Correction, Richard Pryor changed his act by frequently visiting nightclubs in Oakland California not Berkeley California!!!! Richard Pryor hung around the pimps and hustlers in Oakland that's why his comedy routine went from clean to raunchy. In 1972 that's why he was specifically chosen to be in the movie The Mack which was filmed in Oakland. Berkeley had a lot of white hippies in the late 60's early 70' and Richard Pryor didn't hang out at their venues to change up his comedy routine, he crafted his skills amongst the black people in Oakland. Why I'm sure about this, is because I was there!!!!

COSBY PAVED THE MAJOR WAY FOR THE REST THAT CAME SHORTLY AFTER HIM AND WHILE HIM.. AND AFTER HIM.. HE DID SO MUCH FOR THE BLACK COMIC'S. RICHARD WAS LIKE THE HOOD COMIC BLACK GUY COSBY WAS LIKE THE SUBURBAN BLACK COMIC KINDA HOW WE LOOK AT EACHOTHER MATTER OF CLASS.

[@bamideledebra8286]

[@KrazyC2008]

Me neither! The same goes for the beef between Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor.

[@slashpiff8946]

Thank you I been waiting on this

When you get chastised by Bill Cosby, you feel like one of the cosby kids. -Eddie Murphy

I think over time it has been lost that on the comedy records Bill Cosby made there was two sides. One was for the whole family, then at the end of side A he would say for the parents to put the children to bed before listening to the other side. Side B was for the adults. I remember many a night listening to these great comedians on records. We had Redd Foxx too. I remember one line, "You've been riding on planes, you've been riding on trains (...) wash your ass." LOL! I miss those days. It is nice having so much at a click of the button. But actually looking through the record collection, pulling it out of the sleve and putting the needle on the record was so organic.

I LOVE Cosby. Regardless of his infidelity during his marriage - I love the fact that he didn't present that as role model material. His shows showed the way it SHOULD be. I LOVE the way he portrayed love for his wife as if she was the ONLY woman in the world. I wasn't a Pryor fan but I appreciate the fact that he was honest enough to decide to be himself.

This Was BRILLIANT !!!....Somebody Really Did Their Homework !!!.....

[@ronwood1220]

Private lives and hypocrisy aside, both were geniuses and we needed them both. Bill was aspirational, Rich was fearlessly honest. They were like MLK and Malcolm X or Booker T Washington and W.E.B. Dubois. Different voices both speaking truth. They were both authentically black and communicating their world view as best they could, allowing for human frailty. We, and by we I mean to purposefully include our non-black brothers and sisters, need to hear them both to understand the times that they lived in and made jokes about. Do they speak for all black people? No, of course not. But you only have to listen for a little while to know that they ain't lying either.

Great content in this post. Bravo! Please do more like this.

[@chesthoIe]

It's Grennich. Apparently they pronounce everything strange in Manhattan. Don't get me started on Houston street.

[@righteouslioncomedian1069]

Lol

[@shaseanclopton1999]

Oh you mean Houseton street? 😆 Yeah the e's are short e's in Greenwich with the w being silent and the e doesn't exist in Houston but it's pronounced like it IS there in the word House. Thank the Dutch! 😆

[@godofwine77]

You know it's crazy? I've got a couple of their albums on my Zune (yeah yeah. It still works😂), and when I put it on random sometimes I can't differentiate between Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby until Richard Pryor swears. Their voices are similar but both are very funny

[@toogeeked2414]

Yall talkin bad bout cosby dnt act like richard Pryor wasn't in da closet now

[@lumberjack297]

Damn. You SURE kept that real 😮

[@flora-3603]

Being bisexual is not the same as what Cosby is accused of doing and he was not in no damn closet he wrote about it in his autobiography and spoke about that shit in his standups.

Excellent post. Good lookin' out!

[@blueshirt4615]

Bill Cosby was funnier on stage but Richard Pryor was funnier in movies to me. 🎤🎬

[@kevingraham785]

Excellent breakdown of the relationship between these 2 great comedians 👏

[@Megabeat30]

Cosby was a visionary and his legacy is pure Gold... Cosby = G.O.A.T

[@drchipohpoh]

Your content is great, but the audio levels on some of these videos are way too low. I'm watching on television and have to crank it way up, I would imagine anyone on the cellphone would have a hard time hearing it unless they were incompletely silent places
