The shortest month of the year has come and gone like a cloud of reefer smoke....Instead of isolating one month out of the year to do the knowledge, every month we should be analyzing the great contributions Africans have made throughout history..
Not just the Africans though: every culture has brought forth men and women that deserve to be respected and honored ( YA FEEL ME )...
Paul Mooney deserves your respect....For nearly four decades " Paul " has worked behind the scenes for some of the funniest comics around....Red Foxx, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chapelle, etc.....Crazy thing is, Paul is still a underrated talent that doesn't receive the accolades that he truly deserves....
Here are a couple Paul Mooney facts that you might not know....
1...He helped jump start the careers of Jay Leno, David Letterman, Sandra Bernhard, and Robin Williams .......
2...Created the famous " In Living Color " character ,Homey The Clown....You know damn well you thought that shit was funny.
3...Never used drugs....
4...Lost his youngest son ( Simeon ) to gun violence...
5...Played Sam Cooke in the Buddy Holly movie....
6...Personally knew Huey P. Newton....
7...His first album, Race, was nominated for a Grammy...
If you want to find out more about this legendary funny man, I highly suggest you pick up his book " Black Is The New White " over HERE
It's a quick read that will keep you laughing louder than a motherfucker....TRUST ME..
Below is a clip of Paul dissing that god awful movie " Precious ", etc.....
