528763, O_E's latest DRAMA GRIPE: ONE MAN SHOWS!!!!
Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Jul-26-10 12:30 PM


FIND ME a more self-absorbed, pretentious medium.

Seriously, nigga, get a blog or a diary. Don't nobody
care about your life.

Let me clarify....no...let me list the criteria for
when one man shows ARE ACCEPTABLE.

a) You have to be FAMOUS ALREADY. Sorry. I don't CARE
about you or your miserable uninteresting life unless
you done ACHIEVED SOME SHIT first. Don't use a one man
show to GET famous. I don't care about your life, nigga.

I don't.

And this wave of hip-hoppy monology one man shows? I've
seen few things less entertaining and more self-absorbed.

And using the hip-hop angle? Just a way to get white people
to have a cultural experience. I've seen two, and both of
them sucked.



b) It has to be COMEDY. Not as in, "parts of it are
funny." I mean, the WHOLE SHOW should be humor. In that
way, its basically like a standup show, which I have no
problem with.

Why?

Because the audience shouldn't serve as a giant journal
or psychotherapist. If you got issues, go see a shrink.
(or get a blog, like I said before)

I honestly don't care about the relationship with your
father, or about your gay thoughts, or about how your
ethnic identity issues...again UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY
FAMOUS for some shit. If you have ALREADY ACHIEVED
some shit, than fine. I'll sit down and hear about what
got you there.

But if you some random nigga? Please...I barely give a fuck
about most girls whose legs I spread...how I'ma care about
your random boho bitch ass?


If its pure humor, then its different -- you're GIVING
the audience something. You're generating humor. You're
not just venting like a bitch.
