Aries Spears: Chris Tucker Lost His Comedy Edge when He Became Born-again Christian (Part 10) 

At this point let the Friday franchise rest in peace. It's done,that era will never be duplicated

Chris found something that is much more valuable than everything he's ever had and anything he can ever get. But when you don't know, you don't know.

Chris Tucker killed that role as Skip in Dead Presidents.

Chris Tucker becoming born again will benefit him far more than any celebrity gig will give him!

If they want Chris Tucker for another Friday movie all they need to do is cast Jackie Chan as the liquor store owner..😂😂😂

Chris Tucker had the comedy world in the palm of his hands at one time. He had a true gift of being naturally funny and appealed to all type of folks.

This shows me Chris Tucker is free thinker stand alone guy that doesn't care what people think.... God Bless Chris

May of lost his edge but he gained eternity! 🗣️🙏🏾💯 don’t let that go over y’all head

"The hell is a Vic Damone?" "Aint no goddamn greatest hits I ain't never heard it"😆 Aries aint never lie Money Talk is definitely one of the funniest films I've seen

Nothing is wrong with Chris Tuckers comedy. He doesn’t want stereotypical roles. And that’s likely all they’re offering him with big figures. Salute to Chris!

Good for Chris Tucker. That is the toughest choice to make by someone with his status as an A-list star in Hollywood. Gauranteed, he has peace and joy in his life. Smart man!!

I love these types of conversations with Aries when they talk about other comedians in the game. Great clip. They could've talked about Chris Tucker for longer in my opinion

He isn’t lying. Seen his stand up years ago and was highly disappointed. I would love to see Mike Epps & Chris Tucker in a movie together

I swear no joke I always say Chris Tucker is my fav comedian. The guy is naturally funny. Money talks, Friday the 2 first rush hour. The man is hilarious.

I love his honest commentary, too many people be scared to speak they mind.

You can’t fault a man for changing his life for the better no matter how funny you may think he is to him it’s not worth his soul and the fame, he will always be a great and it’s totally fine to change your life around, he doesn’t have to live for everyone else’s pleasure and entertainment, he lives for himself and his love for god is worth more then any amount of money or fame.

Aries comes alive when talking about comedians 📋📝📓

Friday wouldn’t be the same half the cast is no longer here 🤦🏾‍♂️💯

Money Talks was hilarious and one of my all time favorite movies. I even bought it on DVD a few years ago

There's nothing wrong with growth. Change will not please everyone but if it brings you peace, that's what counts the most.

Your Soul is bigger than comedy

I love who Chris has grown into. I hope he doesn’t go backwards

Dead Presidents was the ish!! His scene when he overdosed was too real. Hurt my heart seeing that even tho it was only a movie. He did his thang, but so did everybody in that film!!!

Chris Tucker in Jackie Brown was hilarious him and Samuel L killed that scene lol

I like Aries. Since the MAAD TV days. I was a kid watching his silliness. Im hoping that he is doing great mentally and emotionally.

I respect Chris Tucker’s discipline and his spiritual life is more important than rather he makes me laugh or not but what Aries is saying makes sense. Not sure if it’s his faith, maybe he just lost his hunger or decided to change his style/approach but imo, just like Aries said, Chris peaked comedically in the Def Jam/Friday/Money Talks era.

That Barry Sanders analogy is perfect

Aries Spears lost his comedy edge when he decided to do a skit with a little boy in a bathtub

The last film I recall seeing Chris in was in 2012 called “Silver Linings Playbook” 3:28 That’s the film Aries is referring to

That last stand up Chris Tucker did on Netflix hurt to watch 😩💔

I never even thought about it , but i gotta agree with Aries on this one…

Born in the 80’s grew up in the 90’s. The comparison to Barry Sanders was amazingly accurate

I love when Aries get in his “talking comedy” bag! 💪🏽

I absolutely believe Chris Tucker can be funny without cursing, most people probably wouldn't even notice... Aries is a good guest, he seems to be very forward and honest in his conversation, it's always cool to watch him...💯

The 3 Friday's are comedy classics but the original is best by far and having a last Friday without John Weatherspoon wouldn't be as funny

Chris was good in Silver Lining's Playbook . The role wasn't huge but he was funny in a serious movie.

He matured n thats what happens when ur a grown man.

The Fact That Vlad Didn't Know That Chris Tucker Was In House Party 3 When You Had Kid On Your Show Is Hilarious

When it comes to art, there are so many moving parts that I'm just happy we get what we're able to get from our favorite artists.

Good for Him God over everything 😤🤧💯

Chris is a grown man; some of us just haven't grown up yet.

“MoneyTalks” is one of the funniest and best because they gave Chris that creative freedom to improv a lot of what he did in the scenes. “Fifth Element” didn’t use CGI like in movies today and it’s still one of the most entertaining films of that genre. I know. It’s my own opinion

It's called class, that's Chris Tucker's choice, let him be.

Sadly I agree but it’s for the best for him and his family Chris tucker is still my favorite comedian

Money Talks chris was on another level

He didn't want to call the lady "one crazy b#*ch" in Rush Hour 2. That's how early he got saved

This dude keep talking about people not having this edge or rawness in comedy but everyone that he mentions is doing great and surpassed standup

Chris went to Africa and witnessed the poverty over there and he was never the same. I remember he was presenting an award and mentioned his experience and he was clearly disturbed and shaken on the stage.

I appreciate how Aries seems to appreciate his contemporaries

Aries lost his edge when dude beat it outta him.

Yep, Aries is right! I want that Money Talks Chris Tucker back. Pure comedy gold!

I Agree 100% With Aries

He’s goin in right direction, doesn’t need to go back he made his mark already

Money Talks is Classic! Need part 2 for that with Charlie Sheen

When Aries let out that first whooo like Rick flair. I lost it 😂😂😂😂

That's like expecting Nas to make another Illmatic. They are older now. Different time and different mindset. Eras come and go. And people change with those times.

Tbh I’m cool on a Friday sequel. It won’t be the same without pops, deebo, & countless others (RIP).

This title is soooo facts!!!! I’m a big Chris tucker Fan! I love his character more before he converted . Man he had the most potential! He had the kevan hart presents

People are ignoring that Chris left acting to protect his peace.

Chris Tucker definitely was huge star back then and could’ve made a lot of movies. Don’t forget he was Michael Jackson music video and also was on stage with Michael doing his dance moves.

He could've still done clean comedies like Eddie did.

Barry sanders analogy 💯

We were just having the Rush Hour vs Bad Boy debate at work

Chris Tucker killed that Netflix comedy special. He didn't lose his edge

I saw Chris Tucker a few years back when he did a few shows in my hometown. He killed it knocked it out. His Michael Jackson impressions were 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 I love when comedians are different they don't have to go the race route and they don't have to curse. Chris Tucker was able to do all that. This whole Aries Spears loves to criticize and s*** on people who are 10, 20 more times successful than he will ever ever be. He needs to keep Chris Tucker and other names out of his mouth.

Spitting facts. Money Talks is a all time classic.

Money Talks is an underrated classic!!

Chris Tucker last special on Netflix is a classic 🔥

Chris tucker is still funny as hell he must didn’t see his last Netflix special

Money Talks is one of my favorites! I’ve watched it numerous times back to back! Classic!

Great to hear Aries dialogue about Chris Tucker. I agree. money talks is a classic.

Chris Tucker has an excellent career. 🥇

Chris Tucker could've had Eddie Murphys career if he wanted to. Very talented guy.

"Money Talks" when Tucker is at the auction with Paulie Sorvino , hilarious!

The "Fifth dimension" 🤣🤣. That cracked me up for some reason

Money talks a classic

I get what Aries is saying but when a person brings God into their life and have a strong connection with him into being a much more evolved person, you have to respect that💯. When it comes to Christian's and Spiritual people that's nothing to play with🙌✝️🌹. And if you see Chris interviews, you can tell that he's a man who is in a very safe place in his career who is always open to possibilities. And he's fully aware that he's older, more mature, and is keeping a positive and open mind. We all love his classic hit movie bangers, and Chris even said that he is forever grateful for what he did in his early career, but he was young & hungry, and even then he wasn't afraid of being himself, same as now. Like I said, God is nothing to play with to those who believe in his presence. And you can't just say "fuck this born again Christian shit" if you don't understand it's meaning. Chris is sticking to what he know and if they just confirmed Rush Hour 4, then that means that the blessings is still working and he's happy and keeping us entertained at the same time. A lot of fans still love Rush Hour and I still want to see Chris in another Friday of course. But if he talk to God on it and he is seen that it's not for him anymore than that's the decision, he's sticking with. Anything is possible, never lose yourself & never let success take over your character.

Chris Tucker is a REAL christian so he is not going to play those roles that are in the Friday movies, (cursing, smoking weed, etc). He won't compromise. Good for you Chris!❤

Aries gave an excellent analysis. This is not restricted to just Chris Tucker, but this happens when rappers make it big or get money, and move out of the hood... I believe you have to continue to be hungry. The hunger sometimes diminishes when you arrive. Artists will argue, "we grew." Growing is good, but some artists, equate growing to not appeasing to the audience which made them grow.

Aries spears would play a good part in the movie also..make him the mailman 😂

I feel the same way about Martin Lawrence, and Eddie Murphy. Them along with Chris Tucker lost the edge they had early in their respective careers. Martin Lawrence in the Def Jam days as the host was 🔥 and Eddie is nothing like his Raw, and Delirious days either.

Past great black comedians were flashes of greatness with nothing to regret🙏

I’ll always remember Chris Tucker in the Heavy D Nuthin But Luv video with Talent. That’s the first time I saw him. Then he blew up

You don’t have to be dirty to be a great comedian

Chris doesn't need to curse to be funny and he has proven it.

Thanks!

“Money Talks” is chefs kiss 🙌🏾

He's right! Chris was at the top of the game. But he just wanted to stay doing rush hours. I would of been happy with a Money Talk 2 at least

Chris Tucker found his place, and he's happy where he's at. From trash to class (From playing thugs to Black Excellence, nothing but the highest respect from me). Chris Tucker is an awesome actor/comedian, like Michael Jackson he is forever. As Always, Be Smart and Stay Safe.

They will make another Friday! And you Know this Mannnnnnnnnn!.

Glad I’m going to see my brother in the kingdom. Hope more people begin to understand

His deal was structured like that in the 90's so he can demand more money.

Money talks is a really funny movie ,👍🏼 "They put their hands on you?" 😄🤣

Aries worried about the wrong things. Chris Tucker out here tucked away somewhere and Aries out here w/o his Blistex chap stick

I love it when you bring aries spears thank you vlad Tv

So, he basically made Brett Ratner’s career 😂👌🏾

Aries Spear: Chris lost something Jesus Christ: No, He gained Aries Spears: I want the old Chris back Jesus: The Old Chris is dead

Mannnnnnn that car wash scene on Money Talks lord have mercy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

its me vic damoan jr theres a bomb in the building 🤣🤣 money talks will forever be a classic

God called Chris Tucker and there’s nothing he could do about it. It wasn’t his choice, but Gods. And you lose A lot of things when you choose to follow God. But it’s allllll worth it. The amount of fame Chris could have gotten does from Next Friday could not amount to the glory he will receive from Jesus for not denying his name.
