I think epps really should shut his mouth cause he don't really know Chappelle. This seems like help. He should I have said "I pray for him" and move on. seem like some crabs in the barrell shit.

At a recent press day for The Honeymooners, comedian Mike Epps took it a step further, committing his opinion to record in front of a room full of journalists in which IGN FilmForce was present.

The subject came up when Epps mentioned his worries about playing Richard Pryor in a potential upcoming project directed by Walter Hill. Someone asked whether his stress compared to Chappelle's and Epps laughed, snapping into a response. "You know, coming from where I come from, I'm already crazy. S**t. You ain't got to worry about me going. I'm crazy, straight up. I done seen the psychiatrist, I been on the little pills or whatever they got. You know what I'm saying? I'm for real. He just goin' through some new s**t. This is him going through his. I thank God I been through mine at an early age. Going through it and being on drugs. I went crazy after Next Friday because certain things overwhelm us, man. That's overwhelming…

"I don't think he came from the background I came from. I don't think that. But my background. Everything around me is failure. You know what I mean? Trash in the alley. I got eight brothers and we all got damn near different daddies. I come from a real welfare family, you know mother struggling. My grandmother was the same way… So that alone, for you to come out in Hollywood and get in a movie will overwhelm the s**t out of you, if you from that. Now, you give me 50 million dollars, I ain't gonna go crazy. I'm gonna go to the mall and go and get some new cars, I'm about to go and put my momma in a new house, I'm about to give some of these kids in the community some money. That's all he should have did… Just give some of that money to the kids, and that will bring you right back… You'll realize that that's what that's for, is to share it, and you won't go crazy.

"The thing about it is, the material he was doing wasn't him. He don't come from no crackheads on the streets and s**t. You can't talk about black people like that and you don't even represent that. You don't come into the community and kick it with black kids. You got white writers on your show. You got white boys writing, talking about black people on the show, you know what I'm saying? You got Oprah lashing out at him. Not only that, you got people comparing him to Richard Pryor, so once you got that on you right there, and you ain't even came from what Richard Pryor came from, it look like you done tricked a bunch of motherf******, that's what it look like, and now you can't follow yourself, because you got that material from some other people. Charlie Murphy and them did all that. I remember the show blowing up from, 'I'm rich, bitch' and James Brown and Rick James and all that.

"What I really think, true heart to heart, is that you only as good as your last s**t. That go for me, Cedric , everybody in this business. You only as good as your last s**t. If you do good the last time I see you, I'm still good with you, but you gotta follow everything you do…"

You know, we could all be reading a book right now.

because i was thinking the samething, almost. Epps is funny...sometimes, but he's not hilarious. The scene in "All about the Benjamins" when he was talking about dude's hairline was funny, but other than that, is ok. But then again, this could be a publicity stunt for him.

and in my opinion, I think it's ballsy to say that in front of white reporters. It's his honest feelings, and to hide that from white folks would be the wrong way to go, I believe.

It's SARCASM. Dry wit.

Why would I give a cross-eyed colorado fuck what Mike Epps thinks? He's a horrible comedian/actor/jerkoff.

"F you Im better in tune with the Infinite"

is he hating, absolutely

but be real, chapelles core audience is middle class negroes (such as myself) and white frat boys

i cant speak on where or how chapelle came up, but i have felt more than a lil uncomfrtable w/ how flippant he is w/ certain racial shit

i think his white friends/his asian wife/etc have kind of insulated him from that hardcore lower income bracket Black person

who never even heard of dude til he started tripping on rick james

deny that if you want but its true

point?

the rick james bit

and mainly talked abt him then, because everyone else was talking abt him

saying the lil catch phrase

is dude funny, hell yes.
but his popularity in our culture comes from a white audience

and he uses this sometimes in some not so amusing ways

ie: the niggar family skit.

white ppl saying nigger a lot. yeah, that shit was hella amusing

i mean, chris rock does it too, in the niggas v. blks argument


america: fuck yeah.

400,000 people spoke last week.
dont matter how he got in the barbershop.
that nigga is barbershop/blvd/and boooogie

dont try and trvialize his shit like only the white man loved him.

mofos knew chittlin chapelle from def jam and nutty professor "women be shoooopin" chapelle.

he layed under and then found his zone.

epps is hatin cause he KNOW he will NEVER see 50mil.

i think his moms was a professor (i know she had a ph.d) but i think it was the kanye thing where they had a nice job but had no money.

as for the white dude, i'll say that when i found out neal was white i was like "huh" but only because he said the reason he left the show was a white guy in the audience was laughing too hard at a sketch, so i thought to myself "but a white person probably co-wrote this and white people aren't supposed to laugh at it *too hard*?"

(though i get the idea that chapelle is a smart dude is capable of deciding what the right about of laughing is appropriate from a person not of the race that chapelle is making fun of)

as for epps, someone should tell him its not $50 million all at once. It's residues (right word?) from the DVD sales and I believe the payments are staggered, like any incentives thing.

*gone*

i thought he was from dc personally


america: fuck yeah.

Came to DC in HS. Reps here, but has a farm in Ohio and lives there now.

i wish Epps hadn't said this, especially in the forum that he did... but he has a point. Chappelle IS a middle-class negro, and his audience is largely middle-clss negroes and white boys.

hell, Dave even said himself that part of the reason he went crazy was because he started feeling uncomfortable about what he was doing, the flippant manner in which he was treating racial issues and making it cool for white boys to run around screaming "they shoulda never gave you niggas money!"

dave speaks from what he knows.

shit i'm a middle class negroe and i've seen enough crackheads to know that tyronne is funny as shit.

the guy grew up in dc in the 80's. that shit was like crack-heaven.

instead of doing what al of his friends were doing...he did comedy....at 14!

he said: @ 14, all my friends were selling drugs, i was trying to finger fuck chicks and i was doing standup...

he didnt have time to "go crazy" like epps. he was working...
