i just read this myself. sort of a shocker.
Richard Pryor is definantly a legend and a pioneer.
2 years ago i said "Dave Chappelle is picking up where Richard Pryor left off"
it was funny that i later on saw a interview with Richard that he said " i feel like i have passed the torch down to Dave Chappelle."
Richard Pryor did sooo many hilarious movies and his standup was the best
RIP

RIP to him although I think he was more stupid than funny, same with Dave Chappelle.

He had his demons, but he had a ton of talent and left a body of work that will be enjoyed far into the future.

Too bad, he cracked me up. His standup was hilarious and he had some pretty funny movie rolls too.

It takes a lot to make me laugh, and he had what it takes. He was the BEST. He had MS but died of a heart attack.

He will be missed, I liked the movie rolls a lot better than his stand up... Definetly had a lot of talent.

I really hate that! I grew up listening to the old Richard Pryor 8 tracks and watching his movies. He will be sorely missed! RIP Mudbone!

I grew up having to "sneak" to be able to watch him, definatly funny though, everything I remember about him was hilarious.
