Richard Pryor Telling The Truth About Our People Not Being Black in America

I don’t care who is being called the king of comedy 🎭 in 2022. This is the greatest comedian there is was and ever will be. R. I.P king 👑 Richard. I love how he goes into a trance and becomes 4-5 different characters at the same time. Genius

i heard youtube comedians say "Pryors comedy didn't age well". "he's over-rated". what they don't realize is, every family had at least one person imitate mr. pryors comedy - we all heard it over again our entire lives. he's the voice of generations - taught many how to express themselves. he's part of culture - he's legendary.

“My gun fell and just went crazy” 😭😭😅

He turned his pain into laughter for everyone else. It was not just his comedy, but he went into the mind and thoughts of other people and reflected them back to themselves. He was so observant about the little details of society, people and how so many people put on a front but they are so corrupt that it's ridiculous. He was so badly abused that he had to use comedy to try and ease his own internal suffering and in the process brought laughter and healing to all of his fans. RIP Rich thank you for the laughs, you made life a bit easier for millions of people with your movies and your comedy.

A legend he was.Richard Pryor will never been forgotten

Only one Pryor, only one Chappelle. We're blessed to have them get us through some shit.

Like Michael Davis said...There was no one who could IMPROV like RICHARD! He had this incredible ability to BRING THE AUDIENCE into his world! When I listen to Richard, it's like I am there at that SPECIFIC MOMENT AND TIME of the events he's expressing! Also, PRYOR'S comedy was the essence of Black life in the late 60s and 70s! Every Black person could RELATE to what Pryor was saying. It resonates to this day!

He’s embodying the truth and expressing it creatively 😭💞 genius

A pure genius. This man single handedly modernized stand up comedy.

Richard was the King. I stayed up late at night quietly in the hallway as a eight year old listening to my Parents playing his records and howling with laughter.

Early '80s my Dad used to listen to this Man with the headphones in. -I remember when he pulled the headphones out. -Miss you Dad. Thanks for the share.

Hands down. Every comedian today owe their fame and fortune to Richard Pryor. Everybody that came after him.

Imagine this...but a bunch of us back in he day would listen to Richard Pryor cassette tapes around a camp fire when deer hunting. Good times.

He was free styling this all from the top of his head making it up as he goes man is genius/ poetic at the same time

When I was pre-teens, I loved when my mom would go out with her friends. I would sneak and play her mass collection of Richard Pryor and Fred Foxx albums. Both were comedian legends. Rip🙏🏾🙏🏾

Richard Pryor was not joking in any interview I've ever seen he was just being bluntly honest on camera he's just being so pure people back then didn't kno any other way to react but laugh because he was the 1st of his kind

He's another one who's seen it all and is warning us through comedy

Met him at an MS/ALS benefit. He had this same energy even at his worst physical condition. I was 14 years old and I couldn't breathe from laughing while he and my mother shared their fight with the disease and the BS that bothered them.

Genius...his impressions, timing, facial expressions, there are and will be many imitators but there will never be another Richard Pryor...Genius

This wasn’t comedy, this was a biography told in theater standup form.. Richard Pryor is the Greatest, no debating, everybody got their style from him in some form or fashion. I love the one he did after he came back from Africa, and he realized he needed to stop saying nxgga.. he didn’t see any nxggas in Africa, and we aren’t nxggas here either. RIP THE LEGEND!
