47252, that's not entirely what epps is saying...

his critique seems to be:

'don't be from the suburbs and make your fortune
clowning hood black folks and making us all look
shiftless and trifling. especially when you do it
to court white folks, who will only turn around
and cosby us with it.'

which could be a valid critique, but if dave spent
ANY time in d.c. in the eighties, he is very familliar
with the hood, yo. d.c. was NOT A GAME then.

plus, most of the comedy i've seen him do about
the hood seemed informed enough and sympathetic
enough for me to give me a pass.

dave is not on that cosby at all.
