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

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.
