Sorry; read that wrong. I think a lot of Foxx and the early black guys, even the kings of comedy, stem from the old streetcorner playing the dozens; trading insults at a rapid clip. Looks like that aspect of entertainment never really died in that community vis a vis rap and hip-hop.
Pryor really helped invent story comedy as you say.
BTW thats a great link to anyone looking to appreciate Pryor, that compilation CD looks to be perfect.
