Pryor was gonna tell it like it is funny but deep no lie at all and won’t give a fuck where u have Cosby who sugar coats but at one point used to go over heads
Say what you want about Cosby, but him basically telling Richard that if he was going to be big, he had to develop his own style, was actually some of the greatest advice Pryor could have ever received. I believe Pryor was the greatest Stand-up comedian of all-time, but Cosby (before the scandal) was more groundbreaking. He represented the black community with a great sense of dignity and respect that really needed to be showcased at that point and time especially. Pryor was probably the 1st black comedian to display a human quality about him that was able to resonate with people of all different backgrounds. Both made a unique impact in different ways.
TRUTH! On top of that, when he said he'd NEVER call another Black man NIGGA, again, wow! I'm 48 and haven't used that word since 30! I don't judge anyone I just choose not to.
Man! I'm 48 and that took me back to the late 70's! My moms and my uncles and their friends in the basement playing spades, smoking weed, and drinking riunite! All the while in the background Redd Foxx, Dolemite, Dick Gregory and the MAN Richard Pryor! And they always knew when me and my cousins would be at the top of the stairs trying NOT to crack up! Between those records and then cussing each other out, lol! I had a GREAT childhood! They're all gone now (RIH) but me and my cousins are still here and still reminisce to this day. LOL!
Pryor was the perfect standup comic Cosby was perfect for television Redd Foxx MASTERED BOTH!!! That's all it really was, but Cosby didn't like Pryor's style of comedy!
@Jericho Venus Then Cosby saw Pryor's influence on the younger comics like Eddie Murphy& he didn't like that either! It was a No-Win Situation for Cosby in that aspect!
@@lawball1727 True, eventhough I don't know if I could judge Flip Wilson's stand up comedy per sè, but he was a great host of the Flip Wilson Show tho!
@@SCBrown that is your opinion though you don't speak for everyone else who liked Cosby, but you have a right to your opinion, but just remember it's your opinion not everyone else's.
no, they didn't have the PMRC label on them at the time but they clearly had ADULTS ONLY labels on them. i know bcuz i had just about every richard pryor ALBUM back then!
They didn't have a PMRC label yet, but some had "adult" on it, or if an album cover was objectionable enough, would be displayed in a plain brown wrapper so that you couldn't see what was on the cover until you bought it. Worse, some major chain stores may not stock the album at all.
I hear you and I was the same way until I became a parent of 5 like Dr. Cosby. After that I could relate to his stand up a bit more. Especially,his routine on Bill Cosby Himself which was the blueprint for the Cosby Show.
where the hell did you get that from... rich didn't admire cosby... he desired his success early on and emulated cosby's style to try to get that success... later he felt that cosby had a stick up his ass... and thought that cosby was full of himself... which he was...
Bill and Richard didn't have no big beef,hell they made two or three movie,played baseball,and I am sure they even get high together so some people need to stop the "Bull"
This no diffrent then a rapper that cuss and a rapper that dont... Its like will smith vs jeezy but both got bars but not to cuss says a lot about your mind frame in some cases.
What makes me upset is that we as a people no matter what field we’re in don’t support each other enough, plus share the ups and downs of the industry.
@@dianapharaoh9118 you’re looking at it at hindsight. Regardless what WEST saying is true. It’s the exact same with Kat Williams and Kevin Hart. What’s the point of the beef? This happens a lot in the black community.
Actually Pryor & his wife went to Bills home for dinner *once* & Richard was pissed because he felt Cosby was judging them. He swore he'd never go back & he never did. SMH
They were not friends the only time they were around each other it had to do with business. Cosby did not have a nice personality he was judgemental and scornful.
@@flora-3603 Thank you! I hate when numb nutts like @Christian Soldier pop up like they know something & don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Coz was two years ahead of me at temple.....all i remember about his was he used to lie and tell girls he was a drummer. He carried drum sticks to classes every day. I dont recall him ever doing comedy until he graduated and headed out

Correction, Richard Pryor changed his act by frequently visiting nightclubs in Oakland California not Berkeley California!!!! Richard Pryor hung around the pimps and hustlers in Oakland that's why his comedy routine went from clean to raunchy. In 1972 that's why he was specifically chosen to be in the movie The Mack which was filmed in Oakland. Berkeley had a lot of white hippies in the late 60's early 70' and Richard Pryor didn't hang out at their venues to change up his comedy routine, he crafted his skills amongst the black people in Oakland. Why I'm sure about this, is because I was there!!!!
Wish you’d mentioned Wattstax, the film of the concert, with candid takes between concert performances. Richard Pryor was also featured in those clips, which showed a humbler, unaffected man of the people. 💖 🎈
Prior made a living copying Cosby and even joked that he made a lot of money by stealing Bill's jokes! Both masters of their craft. Respect is due to both.
I have to agree. I was never a Cosby fan to begin with but after his trial and subsequent conviction, I have zero respect for him. Give me Pryor any day of the week. His act may have been far from clean, but at least he was brutally honest and funny.
This was so good. So informative. It was so good to see all those old pictures, esp. the one w/ Eddie, Sidney, Redd Foxx, and Bill & Richard all together. Black kings. Thank you for this.
I think British people just have a cultural lisp that makes pronouncing W's difficult I know certain syllables are silent in Gaelic but I choose to believe this is more of a sandwitch = sammich situation where ya'll jus refuse to enunciate.
Eddie Murphy wasn't the next Richard Pryor, he was the first Eddie Murphy. A comedian who has set the golden standard of funny. Still to this day when I see a comedian, I rate them based on a comparison to Delirious. Most don't even come close
They are always pitting blacks against black and its funny i have never seen them do that with white comics or any other actors or entertainers who might share simularities'but blacks are just as good with bringing down other blacks probably more than whites do.
I remember busting out the bill Cosby records and laughing along with my parents then busting out the headphones to listen to my Richard Pryor and Red Foxx records.
I don't recall "parental advisory" stickers on any of pryor's albums, mainly bc they weren't even a thing until 1990. due to their raunchiness, comedy records by richard pryor, lawanda page, redd foxx, dolemite, even r&b singer millie jackson, weren't kept on display, but behind the counter. they were called party records and ppl would ask for them at the cash register.
I know Richard Pryor is considered the greatest comedian, and he deserves it. But, if any of you (who see this comment) get the chance, then go and look up Bill Cosby's comedy album - "To My Brother, Russell, Whom I Slept With". It is brilliant storytelling. You feel as if you are there in the room with the characters.
Excellent advice, but young people who've grown up in a 'curse every other word society' won't take you up on it. Hip Hop or Rap music didn't start out as curse word or graphic-sex filled art either. People have de-evolved to the gutter.
yo, The content is pretty good. However, I really think the audio could use some work, like some boost in the 1.6-3k area to separate your voice from the backing track. As is, on small laptop speakers at max volume I can barely hear you with my face pressed up against the laptop screen at max volume. some additional compression on the vocal would probably help out too, but no need to super squash things - so like 3:1 or less . also the audio in general just seems to be low compared to, well, just about everything else I listen to. do you normalize your vocal track? what kinds of level are you looking at post processing?
I love both of them. But Richard Pryor was more relatable when it came to being funny. Pryor poked fun at social norms and everyday life with a few cuss words here and there. Cosby’s routine was more family oriented, and relatable to all walks of life. Even Eddie Murphy had issues with Cosby.
In pryor's bio book, he speaks of Cosby with high respect. Almost like a big brother/ little brother type of thing. Side note, Pryor's "cosby like" comedy was actually very funny. Look it up
I just think their styles completely different. I never compared the two once I got older . Just like I would never compare Sinbad to certain comedians that cursed in their stand up routines
Private lives and hypocrisy aside, both were geniuses and we needed them both. Bill was aspirational, Rich was fearlessly honest. They were like MLK and Malcolm X or Booker T Washington and W.E.B. Dubois. Different voices both speaking truth. They were both authentically black and communicating their world view as best they could, allowing for human frailty. We, and by we I mean to purposefully include our non-black brothers and sisters, need to hear them both to understand the times that they lived in and made jokes about. Do they speak for all black people? No, of course not. But you only have to listen for a little while to know that they ain't lying either.
Your content is great, but the audio levels on some of these videos are way too low. I'm watching on television and have to crank it way up, I would imagine anyone on the cellphone would have a hard time hearing it unless they were incompletely silent places
Being bisexual is not the same as what Cosby is accused of doing and he was not in no damn closet he wrote about it in his autobiography and spoke about that shit in his standups.
I didn’t care about a Cosby/Pryor beef before seeing this.The way these “comedy hype” stories are packaged and presented makes me more interested in all things black! I love the way these stories are done. They share OUR modern history, that may seemingly be negative at times, and shine a POSITIVE light on them. Thank you and your team for your hard work!
COSBY PAVED THE MAJOR WAY FOR THE REST THAT CAME SHORTLY AFTER HIM AND WHILE HIM.. AND AFTER HIM.. HE DID SO MUCH FOR THE BLACK COMIC'S. RICHARD WAS LIKE THE HOOD COMIC BLACK GUY COSBY WAS LIKE THE SUBURBAN BLACK COMIC KINDA HOW WE LOOK AT EACHOTHER MATTER OF CLASS.
I appreciate hearing these types of details about great entertainers such as these two. Whether its comedians, singers or back in the day singing groups it always seem to be that story that only one could be on top. Actually even now sadly it seems to not only still happen with comedians but also with some genres of music. There is room for all great talent.
Both men were fabulous in their own way, both men led the way for so many others. Be it clean be a dirty, they BOTH are THE ORIGINAL Kings of comedy. BUT BEFORE THEM RED FOXX, MOM'S MABLEY. AND WE HAVE SO MANY MORE SO MANY MORE. So let's not put these two great great men great comedians humanitarians against one another. They are BOTH FABULOUS.
There always beef in comedy 🤣🤣🤣 and it's always between the greats. They clash because they are too similar in style or have a different view on how they can contribute to the industry which ironic because if they focus on just what works for them beef in comedy wouldn't exist but it's hella entertaining to watch.
Stop it.. y'all don't know what Cosby did.. Cosby got done just like DeShaun Watson getting rail road now..cause they don't wanna do what "master" say.. period
@@marquemason7726 Thank you! Most young people in the 60's & 70's were experiencing 'free love' and drugs. Many of those women accusing Cosby were willing participants, party girls. Sixty-plus women don't keep their mouths closed for decades. At least one is going to go "run tell that" immediately to authorities.

But, if any of you (who see this comment) get the chance, then go and look up Bill Cosby's comedy album - "To My Brother, Russell, Whom I Slept With". It is brilliant storytelling. You feel as if you are there in the room with the characters.
Excellent advice, but young people who've grown up in a 'curse every other word society' won't take you up on it. Hip Hop or Rap music didn't start out as curse word or graphic-sex filled art either. People have de-evolved to the gutter.
yo, The content is pretty good. However, I really think the audio could use some work, like some boost in the 1.6-3k area to separate your voice from the backing track. As is, on small laptop speakers at max volume I can barely hear you with my face pressed up against the laptop screen at max volume. some additional compression on the vocal would probably help out too, but no need to super squash things - so like 3:1 or less . also the audio in general just seems to be low compared to, well, just about everything else I listen to. do you normalize your vocal track? what kinds of level are you looking at post processing?
I love both of them. But Richard Pryor was more relatable when it came to being funny. Pryor poked fun at social norms and everyday life with a few cuss words here and there. Cosby’s routine was more family oriented, and relatable to all walks of life. Even Eddie Murphy had issues with Cosby.
Thank you I been waiting on this
Bill Crosby had the best knock out drinks
bill crosby??? is that bing's anonymous black half-brother???
DAMN, THAT'S A GOOD ONE LOL 😂
TEAM COSBY , I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE COSBY SHOW ON TV ONE S/O to CATHY HUGHES FOR STILL RUNNIN THE SHOW 💯
He also did not marry a gold digger too.
I hope bill give u a drink
I have the entire series on DVD!!!
The also run The Cosby Show and A Different World on Prime Video (Amazon)
Bill Cosby hired a psychologist to make sure the messages came out to the masses just right
Na nah. They just was funny... but was forced to be competitive because blacks have to work 10 times harder in the US
Great work on your video man
In pryor's bio book, he speaks of Cosby with high respect. Almost like a big brother/ little brother type of thing. Side note, Pryor's "cosby like" comedy was actually very funny. Look it up
Great content! Please fix the audio levels
There's NO competition both had unique styles that were Genius...
Good video, volume a lil low though fam- good content.
Love to both of them. They art shaped me.
I love both of them, too! How you doin', today?!
Shaped you please explain
Why is the audio so low
I just think their styles completely different. I never compared the two once I got older . Just like I would never compare Sinbad to certain comedians that cursed in their stand up routines
Funny is funny. Many different ways to do it and one way is not better or more right than the other. Sinbad is one of my favorite comedians btw
Dog!!! You just got a new subscriber... This was on point!!!!
Private lives and hypocrisy aside, both were geniuses and we needed them both.
Bill was aspirational, Rich was fearlessly honest.
They were like MLK and Malcolm X or Booker T Washington and W.E.B. Dubois.
Different voices both speaking truth.
They were both authentically black and communicating their world view as best they could, allowing for human frailty.
We, and by we I mean to purposefully include our non-black brothers and sisters, need to hear them both to understand the times that they lived in and made jokes about.
Do they speak for all black people? No, of course not. But you only have to listen for a little while to know that they ain't lying either.
Excellent post. Good lookin' out!
The breakdown of this video makes me think of Canibus vs LL
Excellent commentary.
The only way I can relate to Cosby if we was drinking or eating Jello
Careful on drinking what he is serving lol
Your content is great, but the audio levels on some of these videos are way too low. I'm watching on television and have to crank it way up, I would imagine anyone on the cellphone would have a hard time hearing it unless they were incompletely silent places
Yall talkin bad bout cosby dnt act like richard Pryor wasn't in da closet now
Damn. You SURE kept that real 😮
Being bisexual is not the same as what Cosby is accused of doing and he was not in no damn closet he wrote about it in his autobiography and spoke about that shit in his standups.
I didn’t care about a Cosby/Pryor beef before seeing this.The way these “comedy hype” stories are packaged and presented makes me more interested in all things black! I love the way these stories are done. They share OUR modern history, that may seemingly be negative at times, and shine a POSITIVE light on them. Thank you and your team for your hard work!
COSBY PAVED THE MAJOR WAY FOR THE REST THAT CAME SHORTLY AFTER HIM AND WHILE HIM.. AND AFTER HIM.. HE DID SO MUCH FOR THE BLACK COMIC'S. RICHARD WAS LIKE THE HOOD COMIC BLACK GUY COSBY WAS LIKE THE SUBURBAN BLACK COMIC KINDA HOW WE LOOK AT EACHOTHER MATTER OF CLASS.
outstanding work bro
I appreciate hearing these types of details about great entertainers such as these two. Whether its comedians, singers or back in the day singing groups it always seem to be that story that only one could be on top. Actually even now sadly it seems to not only still happen with comedians but also with some genres of music. There is room for all great talent.
Loved this video
And still (STILL) the Comic Champion of the World , Richard Pryorrrrrr Pryor !
For Team Comedy Hype, I like your content. Heads up though at time code 2:12 it's pronounced (Gren-nich) Village not (Green-wich).
I loved Richard Pryor, he was very raw, relatable. My folks related more to Cosby
One of the best video s u got thank you
Richard Prior was a genius his style is still the benchmark for keeping it real comedians. A true one off God bless him. ❤️
Great content🙌🏾🙏🏾💯
Both men were fabulous in their own way, both men led the way for so many others. Be it clean be a dirty, they BOTH are THE ORIGINAL Kings of comedy. BUT BEFORE THEM RED FOXX, MOM'S MABLEY. AND WE HAVE SO MANY MORE SO MANY MORE. So let's not put these two great great men great comedians humanitarians against one another. They are BOTH FABULOUS.
I do like your content I am subscribing please please redo this when I reenter it with a lot of soundtracks so I can hear it
There always beef in comedy 🤣🤣🤣 and it's always between the greats. They clash because they are too similar in style or have a different view on how they can contribute to the industry which ironic because if they focus on just what works for them beef in comedy wouldn't exist but it's hella entertaining to watch.
Volume is very low,,, turn up
I've always been team Pryor, even before we found out Cosby was a monster. RIP Pryor you are the 🐐🐐🐐
Same here!
Stop it.. y'all don't know what Cosby did.. Cosby got done just like DeShaun Watson getting rail road now..cause they don't wanna do what "master" say.. period
@@marquemason7726 Thank you! Most young people in the 60's & 70's were experiencing 'free love' and drugs. Many of those women accusing Cosby were willing participants, party girls. Sixty-plus women don't keep their mouths closed for decades. At least one is going to go "run tell that" immediately to authorities.
Thxs!!!... great breakdown
