After Patrice died (at 41), a TV reporter announced his death and after listing years worth of credits he wrapped the report up by saying "He was 14 years old."
I've already read way too many times that he was a "hilarious stand-up". That's a lie. I've seen his stand up. It was open-mic level shit. This guy existed lived mediocrity, and even then he needed the road paved for him first.
I heard his stand up sucked, and that he was a real asshole/pain in the ass to work with. I might be wrong but I think I heard the same about Donnell Rawlings.
Black men do not handle fame well, generally speaking.
Both of them were just riding that narrow little moment of success they had. What's sad is Murphy already had an in, and he STILL needed a boost from someone besides his super-famous brother to get an audience to see him.
I thought the first time he ever did stand up was after Chappelle's show, and the audience immediately proceeded to heckle him while he awkwardly tried to go on with his act without acknowledging the heckling.
Don't have the link at hand but I recall the video being pretty brutal/hilarious, he was doing a bit along the lines of "I made Eddie buy me a zoo wit lions an shit" when the audience had enough and started tearing into him.
I never got why he just didn't tell stories. All he told were Rick James, Prince and Mike Tyson ones. Eddie was in Michael Jackson's inner circle at one point, that had to have a few stories.
Are you referring to my redundant tags that don't add anything, my obsession with "whose getting beat up" in the discussion, or my horrible gynocomastia?
When I first saw this I thought for a second that it was Eddie that had died...and I felt a little relieved when I realized my mistake. Sorry, Charlie.
Just go to a reddit thread discussing his death and watch all the standard comments of lines from the show and people acting like they care. "Fuck yo couch" - 2000 upvotes
Poor Patrice. I can't believe he's gone. I didn't know hr had leukemia, never heard him talk about it. Come to think of it, I haven't heard much from him at all over the last couple years.

Ashy Larry was pretty funny, tho
n/a Sicboy69 2017-04-12
Maybe his standup wasn't great but his material on the Chappelle Show was funnier than anything Opie & Anthony ever did even in their prime.
n/a FoetusCorruptus 2017-04-12
Well yeah, he had Chappelle and Comedy Central money to punch up his stories
n/a SpaceEdge 2017-04-12
Darkness. That sucks he was funny and didn't have to use Eddie's coattails to get where he is.

He was around before Chappelle show, which was why he was on Chappelle's show.
n/a DanceLikeAJig 2017-04-12
What does that even mean? I was around before Chappelle Show too.
n/a DanceLikeAJig 2017-04-12
And he wouldn't have been around them if he wasn't Eddie's brother.
n/a ManiacalChrisBenoit 2017-04-12
He was Eddie's brother before he was Eddie's brother, which is why he's Eddie's brother.

Gotta keep the dollas rolling in for Charlie's next of kin. Or he could just accept the fact that he'll always be a cracka.
Nah, keep pushing Billy Boy, your wife's family will accept you one day!
