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.
