I think you're getting Chris Rock mixed up with the late great Richard Pryor.

Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Bill Cosby are some the all time greats as far as I'm concerned.
Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Louis CK, are some of the current greats, IMO. And Patrice O'neil was up there too.
Mike Epps is one of my favorites.
His impersonations.![]()
You spelled Chris Rock wrong.
Josephine Oniyama - A Freak ANot familiar with Oniyama (yet), but La Havas is. Dem thighs...
Stand up comedy is a dying business.
Chis Rock's Bring the Pain was a revelation but since then none of his specials have come close.
Bigger and Blacker was hilarious, along with Bring the Pain.

...and Never Scared. Kill the Messenger was his weakest so far.

Patrice is easily in my top 5. Also, if you guys haven't heard of Hannibal Buress or Ron Funches, I highly recommend. Those last 2 are alt-comedians, which I currently find waaaay more entertaining the mainstream cats.
I saw both of them on @Midnight (great "game" show too), and both of them were not only hilarious, both blew away competing comedians on the show.
@Midnight is the best thing to happen to stand-up comedians. Hardwick and Nerdist really have those guys' backs.
