There's levels to stardom, and Martin was never a star.

Did you forget this country is mostly non-black?

Y’all care SOOOOO much about them people man. It’s sickening. In regards to OUR culture, black culture? He’s a STAR. There are plenty stars from white America who I’m definitely aware of but don’t give a damn about them or don’t care for their talent. Which is OKAY…

But as a black man, in regards to what I grew up on and acknowledge? He’s a STAR.

 

[finessence]

So now Kevin Hart is better than Martin Lawrence because Ted from Idaho knows him?

:l

Martin Lawrence was doing crossover movies with all types of white actors but OKAY

George Lopez might be considered a star to some, I've never watched any of his shows or movies.

White people are the ONLY people whose opinion matters. Gotcha chief!

Well, that's what being a star means

Yeah, to one with limited brain capacity, that's exactly what I'm saying

I would LOVE for some white NT'ers to come in here and chime in on this discussion

The idea that Martin Lawrence is only a star to Black people is ABSURD

This is a guy who was banned from NBC because of Saturday Night Live. Wild Hogs made like a quarter billion. This is crazy.

Globally…. Whites are the minority though. I guess Martin is only relevant in America. I guess Africa or Europe, or China doesn’t matter

Bruh dude basically is saying you don’t matter if white people don’t co-sign you. That’s NASTYYYYYYYY


People who probably don’t even UNDERSTAND our humor, are the ones we are judged by

 

[finessence]

Martin has TWO of the highest grossing stand up shows EVER. Two are in the top 10

So William H Macy is a star?

 

[Mark Antony]

Weird convo, don't know what started it. Hollywood thought he was enough of a star to give 20 million to lead films (not a huge club), a tv show in his name, standup specials etc. At this point you have to want to take away from him to not consider him a star.

 

[tokes99]

Well, that's what being a star means

i mean, martin lawrence was the lead actor in quite a few flicks, i think that qualifies him as a star off rip, no?

Big Momma's House, Rebound and Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins? If you say so.

 

[bossdonvah]

Huh ? Martin not a star …you dudes just say anything

 

[Mark Antony]

Hollywood was not handing out 20 mill to people who only draw a black audience 20 years ago. Hell they don't do that now.

He was a hit movie that needed a sequel.

Besides Bad Boys 2 when was he making $20 mil?

National Security? Black Knight? Rebound?

It's not like dude was ever in some big blockbusters. Take away Bad Boys and his movies are almost specifically for us.

Ask the average non-black person if they've seen Life, Thin Line or Boomerang?

 

[tokes99]

they did make a big momma’s house 2 too!!

bad boys, blue streak, that movie where he goes back to medieval times () a thin line between love & hate, LIFE () starred in a sitcom bearing his name, was one of biggest comedians of 90s into the aughts i get there are levels to stardom but c’mon son by most objective measures martin qualifies

Yup

When a Black person tells a white person that they don’t care about Eminem… Cooper Kupp… Rocky Marciano, Drew Berrymore, Or Elvis, you think white people care? Serious question

We have two worlds, you know this.

and there's levels to stardom.

Did you see my George Lopez example?

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

Martin always been a ****ing supergiant STAR.

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

 

[tay1]

There's levels to stardom

The Rock is a star. Kevin Hart is a star.

A star in the black community doesn't mean you're a star.

I would say The Rock and Kevin Hart are more superstars than anything.

If you want to say that, then there's levels

Like comparing Lebron to KD to Dame
