Even though I never met Patrice, he's been an influential presence in my life. His words of wisdom about any subject he spoke on would be like no other words I'd ever heard before. He could make sense of anything and do it so beautifully that i realized one day that he was helping to shape the way I see the world today. I try to not get sad thinking about how much we lost when he died, because there are so many things since that i would love to hear what he would've said about it.
It's so strange and uncomfortable hearing Patrice talk about his mortality like this, even if he's being funny you can tell he's channeling his real feelings into the humor, which makes it really dark now, after Patrice shuffled off the mortal coil. I hope he's happier, wherever he is! RIP Patrice
“Shuffled off the immortal coil” is probably the absolute best wording I’ve heard when it comes to this topic and I will always remember this term coined.
My favorite Patrice clip on O and A... Once maybe twice a year I come back to it for whatever reason instead of listening to "creep". Then how it ends on Nick "He's a mess!" lol.
I know the feeling. I felt like I got sucker-punched in the stomach when I first heard. I've never felt that for any celebrity ever. He's a one of a kind.
He could have had more than he got if he didn't burn bridges like he did. People around him made it seem like he would go out of his way to fuck with people and said he was hard to work with.
He explains burning the bridges though, he didn't want to be owned because that's when they start telling you that you can't say certain things and restricting you. He didn't get into comedy to be owned. There's no way around it. &I agree with you though, I wish he was a household name but I think he did it right. His fanbase still grows and he was able to leave his impressions and ideas on almost everyone that listened. He stayed true to himself and didn't sell out for anyone. His brutal honesty was strangely satisfyingly even when it clashed against your own morals or beliefs. He was a master of his craft and left behind a legacy. Actor, Comedian, pussy slayer...etc. The man did it.
Patrice does that to People, because Oatrice is so forward it allows other to follow with confidence. You find a handful of people in your own life like that.
So fun to listen to Patrice and Anthony pull Lil Opie out of yet another AWKWARD moment . I used to hate hearing those but RIP Patrice , great one. :XD
This is so tragically funny. I mean, yeah I didn't know Patrice, and he probably wouldn't even like me, but this still makes me sad. He was so funny, and he died too early. That's just it. It's fucking sad and funny at the same time to hear him talk like this.
Crazy shit,it happens to us mens a lot of times we work thru pain and sacrifice and overlook our well being.Patrice has made my life so much better.Wish I had his lessons years ago but it’s all good
He is saying black people are more prone to poor health habits leading to diabetes etc so they live shorter lives. It's backed up by statistics, with black men having significantly shorter life expediencies than white men.
***** well thats a shame, I know O and A and radio affiliate dont get any money for me listening to these youtube videos but I just spent the past few days listening too many of the videos of the times Patrice was on, and have no desire to ever listen to any of the non Patrice O and A stuff. I suppose the value was purely promotional, Patrice 'immortalized' his 'ideals' by using the radio program, and got whatever little personal promotion from its listeners that came from the live listeners of the broadcasts, and the radio show got an interesting, for a time, semi regular guest, which had intrinsic value, and which at least a non trivial percentage of the listeners enjoyed. Its just a bummer all the precious content, and I know this is why they kept saying 'write a book, write a book', that he flung out there in these recordings, that in my opinion are more worthy and valueable of being heard then a large percentage of 'opinions' and books that exist in 'the market place'. Blah blah blah.
he would have lived alot longer going vegan. such a shame to lose such a talent cause he couldnt stop to eat all that shit meat, fish, eggs and dairy :(
+CM Novian why are you scared of vegans. he's just saying he loved Patrice as we all do, and would have liked him to live longer and feel happier with a good diet
Patrice was a pro. He stood for comedy, he had an interview at comedy central for a show and just ripped them for putting mind of mencia on tv the whole time. He could have been aries spears huge in the madtv days but he wouldnt sell out! Him and giraldo were pros R.I.P.
i don't think he would have survived for much longer, even while going vegan. it's like smoking for decades and then quitting, you are still probably gonna get cancer soon
actually that's where you're wrong. science shows that the effect is ridiculously fast, we're talking a few weeks here. RU-vid "Uprooting the leading causes of death". and for smoking, after 10 years without smoke the person gets down with pretty much to the same risk of lung cancer than someone who has never smoked. pretty sure the same video mentions it, but make sure to watch this year's talk which features a whole section on the link with the tobacco industry : nutritionfacts.org/video/food-as-medicine/
