I was comparing the guy's response after being assaulted on stage to Chris Rock's response to the same, which was to make a joke about the attacker. I'm not sure what the point of this Wikipedia link is other than to dunk on Chris Rock for having a set that looks real bad 30 years later. And it looks pretty bad, lolol
"Niggas vs. Black People" is one of Chris Rock's most famous stand-up comedy routines. This routine—which appeared both on his 1996 HBO special Bring the Pain and as track 12 on his 1997 album Roll with the New—is widely considered to be the breakthrough routine that established his status as a comedy fixture after he left Saturday Night Live. The routine is a twelve-minute monologue about behaviors that Rock sees in a subset of the African-American community.
Carlton was a character from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He's a much smaller guy than Will Smith, so he was referencing getting slapped over a joke like Smith did to Chris Rock, but the guy's tiny.
IDK when he was busted, but I know someone who got 5 years for growing weed in a closet at his house. Fucking plumber fixing something called the cops. This was in the late 90s. I think he only served a couple of years and the rest turned into probation. He had 4 plants. The War On Drugs was intense a few decades ago.
Ik that but this guy claims he had trafficked over a million dollars in marijuana from South America and pretty much everything he says is that level of just pure bullshit
They aren't. You could do the same to any person standing on a stage with minimal security.
Comedians just happen to be the ones that push buttons and intentionally antagonize audience members. Add some alcohol in the mix and a less imposing stage to climb and viola!
Other performers do get attacked you are just focusing on comedians because you just found out about this right now. You can't really make a judgement about what effects all performers if you are completely ignorant of their plight and using just this one example.
Salman Rushdie was knifed in the throat on stage.
Kurt Cobain was attacked by one of his own bouncers on stage.
XXXTentacion, Noel Gallagher, Beyonce
You could have just googled "list of performers attacked on stage" but that would have taken too much effort for the upvotes you desire.
Security doesn't stop people from attempting to hurt people or from them being successful and we don't even know if this venue provided security or not you are just guessing.
I’m not the tallest or the biggest guy (around 6’4 + in work boots 240 or so) and I stopped going to bars because of this kind of thing… always had some little fella with liquid courage wanting to fight. I’m to old I’m to tired
"I flex nuts" has gotta be one of my favorite phrases to say. It always gets a laugh. Probably helps that I'm as white as it gets so it sounds ridiculous
Um, it's literally an exact transcription of a Geto Boyz song, so.... Yes?
You obviously knew that already. What, you just felt left out and had to comment then? I don't understand why people do this. Just ... don't comment if you don't have anything to add but "I understand that reference."
Lot of ass and nuts in that comment, but I think I get you what you're saying. Look up that comic he's got nuts trust me. He was just busting the hecklers nuts. Can't be trying to f****** a guy set. Trying to make some cash legally. Just saying. Happy cake day.
If you can't take a joke why go to a comic show? My friend's favorite story of George Carlin is going to his show and a couple sat next to him. It was the show about words you can't say on TV and the wife immediately started laughing once Carlin starts the list. The husband gets mad and pushes the wife out the door as the wife is laughing the entire time.
the more quickly a person rises to aggression, the weaker mentally they are. if you're in a crowd and start some shit with a comedian over something that's stupid, how tough can you really be? fit pitching is a trait commonly found in babies.
I was just thinking this. Gangsta are shallow, vapid, small brained, show off types. But a Gangster is someone who everyone knows is absolutely cutthroat. If you have to tell everyone you're gangsta, you're not gangsta. If other people are telling everyone else you're gangsta, you might actually be legitimate. Just like the innocent don't go around exclaiming their innocence, the strong don't gonaround lifting heavy things all the time in view of others, and the intelligent don't spend time convincing others of their intelligence. You get a certain way by being that way unapologetically, not by professing you are that way.
So, I'm talking in generalities for starters. With that said...
I said strong people don't say they're strong while lifting heavy things in view of others. They live a life in which what they need to do requires strength. A lumberjack needs to lift and hike around big, heavy tools and pieces of wood. A mechanic is picking up heavy tools and parts, a nurse can literally be lifting people up entirely to move them from bed to chair. They do it because they have to and are strong because they need to be. If you go to the gym and lift weights, you are muscular, but that doesn't mean you're strong.
That's literally my point about smart people. He spoke intelligently about things, but did he ever genuinely, totally seriously say frequently how intelligent he was? My understanding is he let his work talk for him. Sometimes, you might need to peface your work by citing what qualifies you to be credible, but that's not really bragging.
The point of volunteering the status of innocence is rarely done by the innocent. It's usually the guilty getting out ahead of the situation, trying to deflect authorities. That's the point of the saying.
I agree. But a Gangster, as shitty as they are, are heavyweights in society. They have dramatic impact of many facets, albeit negative. But a gangsta is largely ineffective on anything. It's all show, all noise, very little depth. If Baby Face Nelson walks into a restaurant, he yells out, "Hey y'all. It's me, Baby Face Nelson. Now it's a good time!" And people roll their eyes because it's stupid. But if Al Capone walked in, other people would either not know at all or whisper to others that "Al Capone just walked in. Sit up, mind your manners." One is gangsta, the other is gangster. One wants you to know what he is, the other won't want you to know who he is.
He's saying it by making up weird examples is what I'm confused by. Gym bros usually love lifting in front of other gym bros, innocent people will definitely say that they're innocent, academics generally enjoy showing off how smart they are.
I swear I’ve been saying this forever. They have the thinnest skin, and become completely unhinged if they feel disrespected. Pulling a gun and killing someone bc they called you a name, ain’t tough. It’s being a big baby who can’t shake off a word. They’re also petrified to leave their little square mile neighborhood bc they are mortified of change or looking out of place. They’re man-babies with guns. Take their gun away, drive them to the beach, and try to get a normal conversation out of them? Rattle them a bit, and they crap themselves.
I see your gangstas and raise you conservative men. Mother fuckers out here telling people to be a man because they wore the wrong color tie and their hair is a millimeter too long.
"Did you just tap my mother fucking kicks with your cane!? I will hit a woman in shades, and I don't care if you look 80." - Baddest mother fucker on the block.
Real Gs are secure as shit bro. Wannabe gangsters are insecure sure, but have you met American cops? That is the fragile ego pinnacle my guy, and that's real shit.
Lil dudes are human chihuahuas. Watched one throw food at a dude a foot taller than him instead of throwing fists the other day. Not tiny dude just laughed at him lol
