As I was on my way home tonight, I was jamming to some Nas (Hip Hop is Dead), and I realized that comedians could  learn a lot from rap music.

Take for instance, guest appearances on songs.  Comedians could do the same thing.  I’d be in the middle of a joke, and then BAM, Dave Chappelle comes in on the punch line.

Drew: So I got the new Motorola Razr, and I have to say I wasn’t impressed.
Dave: Yeah, that mutha $*%#@ doesn’t shave worth a damn!
And we could all have our own hype men that come up on stage with us.  An entourage that never really does anything but scream and hype up the crowd.  They could just sit at the back of the stage and laugh at my jokes, saying “Yeah!” or “What?” every now and then.

Finally, lets not forget the amazing power of the remix.  We could remix our own jokes, use the same premise a couple of times, but have different punchlines.

I tried dating a deaf girl once … but she never listened to me.

I tried dating a deaf girl once … but she said where she came from sex on the first date was unheard of.

I tried dating a deaf girl once … when I asked, “Hey, baby, what’s your sign?” She responded with [AO Sign Language]
I also hope that after I die, I can put out another 8 comedy albums.  Hey, just call me Drupac.
