Katt Wiliams is the biggest thing trending right now. I’ve watched most of his interview with Shannon Sharpe and I had to find the Comicview clip Katt is talking about.

Now in order to truly break this down, I had to go and review dates to make sure I stayed on track with it all. Now, let’s start with the joke that Katt Williams is claiming Cedric The Entertainer stole. Here is a clip from YouTube that was posted in 2011. The video wasn’t recording in 2011, just posted during that year. Here is the clip.

Now, this joke in question, Cedric The Entertainer allegedly told it on The Kings of Comedy according to Katt Williams.

Now, I won’t lie, the joke setup may have been a little different, but the context of the joke is very very similar to each other. The reason why I wanted to remind you about dates was because when Katt Williams first hit the scene, he was known as “Katt in the Hat”. He discussed this on his interview with Shannon Sharpe. He explained how Disney sent a cease and desist and he had to change his name. In the above video featuring Katt Williams, his name is “Katt in the Hat“. He appeared on Comicview allegedly in 1998-1999 approximately. The Kings of Comedy special was released in August of 2000. Do you think they are similar?

Hip-Hop's Silver Screen Impact: Top '90s Movies

As the 50th anniversary of hip-hop approaches, many people eagerly anticipate celebrating a genre that has left its mark on the cultural landscape. Since the beginning, hip-hop has evolved into a global phenomenon, shaping the music industry and influencing various forms of art and entertainment. In particular, the ’90s witnessed a pivotal era for hip-hop, where it extended beyond the realm of music and seeped into cinema.

The 1990s marked a period of explosive growth and creativity for hip-hop, as it transcended its origins in the South Bronx and spread across the United States and beyond. As hip-hop’s popularity soared, it found a natural partner in movies, where filmmakers recognized its potential for storytelling and connecting with a younger, more diverse demographic.

Hip-hop’s influence on ’90s movies was its ability to lend authenticity and cultural relevance to on-screen narratives. Often reflecting the social realities of the time, giving a voice to underrepresented communities, and shedding light on the diverse experiences of urban life.

One standout example is Boyz n the Hood (1991), directed by John Singleton, which not only introduced the world to talented rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube but also provided a portrayal of life in South Central Los Angeles, addressing important themes such as race, violence, and urban survival. Another notable film is Juice (1992), starring the legendary Tupac Shakur, which explored the world of four Harlem friends, exploring the temptations and consequences of street life.

The decade witnessed a rise in movies directly centered around the hip-hop culture, where real-life rappers and artists made their way to the silver screen. These collaborations showcased the versatility of hip-hop artists as performers. They also highlighted the potential for combining different art forms for a powerful cinematic experience.

Hip-hop’s influence on ’90s movies was not just a passing trend but a legacy that continues to inspire filmmakers, musicians, and artists to this day. As we commemorate five decades of this influential genre, let us also pay homage to its significant role in shaping the cinematic landscape of the 1990s.

Take a look at some of the top ’90s movies influenced by hip-hop.
