Comedic Visionary Richard Pryor is dead at the age of 65. He had been battling multiple sclerosis for a long time now and he passed of a heart attack in LA this morning. Digital Bombing is really saddened by the news as he was one of our most favorite comedians ever and defintiely paved the way for the biggest comedians of today. He lived a pretty interesting life and opened up the doors of the entertainment industry like no other had in the past with his brand of down to earth, uncut, uncensored humor. Richard Pryors's brilliant comic imagination and creative use of the blunt cadences of street language were revelations to most Americans. He did not simply tell stories, he brought them to vivid life, revealing the entire range of black America's humor, from its folksy rural origins to its raunchier urban expressions. Definitely a man way ahead of his time. Please enjoy the following Richard Pryor classic selections from the DB archive. You still makin' people laugh muthafucka!! Rest In Peace.
