Aries is mad that Eddie Murphy didn't "help" these comedians by not putting them in movies? Bruh, inviting you to a party with that many influential people where you can make connections is helping!!
Aries must have forgotten that Eddie has put a lot of comics on an had them in his movies Aries technically has already made it not mainstream wise cause of his pride an played out jokes
goodfellabeats damn. You’re right. Never thought of it like that. For all we know inadvertently, Eddie was helpin him by inviting those people to his parties.
Wow. I had no idea that Alex Thomas wrote for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. That's one of the reasons why I like Comedy Hype, because I've learned a whole lot of stuff watching this Channel that I never knew about black entertainers. Alex demolished all of Aries' talking points . And had a smile on his face the whole time he did it. He killed Aries with the utmost kindness. G shit.
other than when he was so tired of being in black movies. he wanted so bad to be in white movies so he could be a big name. IDK that didnt sit well with me but meh.
He was WORKING WORKING! He’s been doing more in the 90s than we ever imagined. I thought he was one those comedians that pop up on the movie in every other scene, he was being strategic by putting most of his effort in the writing!
I think when he says "I wrote for _____" Im almost certain he's referring to movies, shows, skits, etc. where he wrote. Doubt he's out here outright tattling on comedians when he's big on networking...
Pop 718 It’s all good. When a movie or tv show has the script developed a punch up writers job is to tweak the lines where they may need some tweaking, adding jokes, phrases, etc to make the dialogue pop more. So when Will gets a script he’ll call Alex and ask him to punch it up for him. He may have others but I know that Alex is one of his main go-to guys for that.

I've heard so many comedians say the same thing about Aries, "he's bitter, he's angry, he's an asshole ". And it's amazing how he can still be bewildered as to why Hollywood hasn't called him yet, as funny as he is.
As talented as Aries is and as young as he started out in the game I think he thought his career would be on a different trajectory....and that probably made him bitter....
Yup. Pretty much...and he's not always wrong about what he says but he really comes off as bitter and angry all the time people don't wanna be around that or work with that.
j2times2006 I love Aries no question he’s a very talented comic but you can definitely tell he’s low key bitter about a lot of comics who are doing way better then him an is so quick to throw shade at them
I've always heard Aries side and it's usually some ol I know my worth I'm not gonna bend over shit but now that I hear this guy say his peace, Aries has made an ass if himself. He could learn something from this, apologize, and hopefully people will accept his apology and get on with his career. His impersonations alone are LEGENDARY. Ppl like that shit
Met Alex in Atlantic Records in Burbank. Dude radiated nothing but love and positivity. He even went out his way to take multiple pictures. I never forgot that. Big ups to Alex Thomas.
Just like with Mo'Nique's situation. She is getting a show now so that's a good thing but she has the same attitude when it comes to not getting what she expected
@@peacheskong2245 I hear you but unlike Aries she also pointed out things that others should know, specifically Black people, that confirmed some of the "rumors" to make them facts.
That’s a VERY good question. This NEVER happened in the 60s-80s. In my opinion, when Def Comedy Jam came out, they incorporated hip hop into comedy. The also incorporated their mentality and behavior. Its very sad. You’ll never see Jerry Seinfeld saying anything bad bout Jeff Foxworthy. You’ll never see Foxworthy saying somethin bout Jay Leno. It’s a very stupid, sad, ignorant behavior that exists.
Its not a good look talking about other folks, I'm not the biggest fan of Kevin Hart, But i can't deny his work ethic and business moves. If he's THAT good, he should be getting a Netflix special. Or something to show his skills. Its like that Jacquees dude claming to be the best Rnb artist or dissing Keith Sweat, put a album out and let it hit big...
@pointsur1 Fuck his message. The human bean looking nigga is the entertainment. He didn't look like this yesterday 😂 That nigga look like Aries Spears brother.
Aries was blind to the line between"Court Jester" and" A Fan". If you're all fans of Eddie, that doesn't make you a Court Jester. Aries let his Cockiness, Pride and Ego miss out on a lot of great opportunities.
@Charles Wilkinson Yes comedian make jokes and they're going to make jokes all the time on their time not like some Jester to a King. The only reason he's been held back because he spoke truth about white people in entertainment business and unfortunately white people run the entertainment business so they have blacklisted him on roles or shows
Great interview. Alex Thompson shows that there is more than one definition of "success"! He started off having a goal of being a stand-up comic but by being open he was able to capitalize off of his talents in many different ways!!! Hats off to you Sir and may you continue to be blessed. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
And there it is. Sounds like he recognized early there's more to show business than being in front of the camera. He did whatever not to have to work a regular job. Not mad at that...
Man this was some real shit he just said....A person doesn't have to literally feed you, but Eddie bought him to the lake so that he could fish and feed himself.😉
Right. No one owes you anything in life based off their hard work, dedication and success. Be grateful and appreciative if they offer you an invitation to sit at their table and eat and use your windows of opportunity to your advantage. Sounds like what ole boy did!
This dude has got to be the most humble man I’ve ever seen. He’s meek & mild in personality & wants to be all inclusive. He’s about unification. & I can definitely appreciate that.
Aries said he feels “blackballed by the industry” but he honestly ostracized himself from his peers…and now he wants sympathy and respect for “standing on his own”…you can’t burn a bridge and want people to help you get to your destination!!
Real talk brother. Now the truth is out and this is why he didnt make it like he should have. Big mistake with you hand out and all you had to do was chill.
Spread positivity, Some of Y'all expect him to look the same after 20 years. It's called life. He still look the same just with no hair. He's Stand up guy and a great comedian/writer.
Some dudes take their hood mentality to seriously. Aries didn't want to joke around with heavyweights in the industry but he would probably have no problem joking around his broke ass homies all night because he'd feel more in his 'comfort zone'. Just my opinion.
TOTALLY AGREE with you! 2 different perspectives from 2 different experiences. Alex makes some valid points and he was humble and grateful for the immeasurable experiences. But Aries made a VALID point too! Why didn't these so called great connective/networking encounters and friendships materialize into something more valid and possibly successful ventures/creatively outputs?
That's how it usually be, when you not let into the "party" you talk shit about it. If Spears was at half the level Kev Hart was he wouldn't be saying anything?
Aries Spears pride is his downfall. Instead of hustling, networking, and building relationships, He'd rather be a hater of those that understand the game.
It's like he just took a left turn. I just don't get him. If you don't want yo play cool. But don't waste time talking about others that a are. It's their life not his.
Facts. I dont like Kevin harts comedy but If I was an up and coming stand up comedian I would fake smile and fake it to make it around him to get Money. You gotta sell your soul a little in many careers to move up especially in the entertainment industry
@@everettfanor1989 You don't really even have to do that, don't fake smile or anything just have an open mind and be genuine person. Exposing yourself a new opportunities isn't selling your soul.
MONEY/SUCCESS 10Million He would sniff out the fakeness. That's why you be genuine and really want to soak up game. Learn how to fish by learning from those that are successful. That's why you chase the vision and not the money. Money will come if you have something to offer and are exposed to the opportunities.
Standup. Aries specifically cited this is where comics test their mettle vs others. He got in Kev for having people write his stand ups. In Aries eyes standup is where you shine. Show your skill set. Having help kind of diminishes it.
Alex has been my brother in comedy for almost 30 years He’s always treated me like royalty even though he was a much bigger name. He’s very humble and cool What you see is who he is
My dude Alex knowin him from back in the day High School Westchester Hi. Dance group " The Romeos" One of the best dance groups from that era 1985-1987 Soultrain etc.... I loved it when he was on Jamie Fox show,Players Club, his own stand up comedy, and writing Fresh Prince etc. So proud of him!!!!
Really, this is some emotional S**** Aries Spears did NOT throw Alex Thomas under the bridge but Thomas definitely threw Aries under the bridge by calling him 'bitter'. In the process, everybody is dismissing Aries simply stating Eddie Murphy is NOT networking...(that is a business term) with other Black men. Spears should have handled it differently he should have gone to Eddie's house and ask for a business meeting, he should have respectfully asked for the come up. In turn, those that have the power to provide the come up shouldn't expect an A**** licking from those that need the come up. Black men need to address their own inability to communicate effectively!
Melanin On Fleek because he is bitter , people get mad at the truth, every interview Aries does he’s always angry n they owe me attitude lol u a grownass man dawg get over it
@@melaninonfleek8670 when you call a comedian a "court jester" you are throwing them all the way under the bus or "bridge" as you say. No comedian appreciates being called a clown which is what a court jester is.
What comedian in his right mind would decline an invite to Eddie Murphy’s house. Please!! Arie just a hater. He the same dude that was on Neal Brennan podcast crying and begging for Neal to to help him do a sketch comedy show...lmao! smh
@@jamesgeiger1543 thanks James, everybody feeds off everyone. Variety is a spice of life, just because you co write with someone or utalize someone to look at things in a different light doesn't mean your not funny. It just shows everyone needs someone at some point to bring out a better them. Sounds like that other guy angry
Aries believes in atheism hes just one of those guys who cant be happy. He over thinks shit, for example Alex is friends with eddy & eddys has the most money out of majority of his friends I'm sure eddy has done so much for ppl but it just doesn't get told because thats not what friendship is about to air out what you do for ppl or for ppl to air out what you do for them like it's a clout contest. . Aries is thinking business and that's why hes not in the inner circles it's not always about business it's about just getting the guys together hanging out eating good food and being able to come in the interviews and share those kind of moments. I'm sure eddy pays for everything and probably tell his friends dont bring anything he got the bill. Probably pay for car services for those who need to get home from over drinking or he probably let ppl stay at his home when they cant make it back home when he have parties that's what friendship is about. I'm sure Alex can tell alot of funny og stories about eddy and Charlie. It's not about coming over and thinking "omg I have to make eddy laugh" or thinking "I need to be eddys friend so hopefully he can put me in one of his movies for a check" that's some ol leaching ass bullshit and I wouldn't want anyone around me that has aries spears thought process.
Just like you see what Eddy Murphy, Chris Rock and Chappelle do for theirs. Alex said that he got a lot of writing jobs from rubbing elbows with this crowd. Aries should have taken note. Plus he is always condescending and talking ish about other comedians, even the ones he called friends. Why would ppl put him on. Aries has a severe case of entitlement. Noone owes you anything
Naw he really dont tho.. As a grown man you cant expect anyone to just do somethin for you. You have to be like my bro Alex and go get it yourself. Or you will wind up angry, and ask yourself this. How many dudes is out here sayin Aries Spears put them on??!
@@JohnRapheal7 It's not like he is sitting at home drinking 40s waiting for a hand out. He has been putting in work touring, putting out comedy albums and more. He is just saying if we are friends and you see me out here working, why not put me in position to take advantage of an opportunity if you have a platform.
@@NattyTurnaOfficial im not sayin that he was but he sounds salty that other ppl didnt put him in the spotlight instead of puttin in that wrk and grindin like bro said. And like i said when the last comedian you heard say Aries gave them a platform? If you that mad Ogs didnt do it for you why not do it for others? He just always comes off like he mad at what others got. Pocket watchin n shit
Lots of comedians talk about hanging out with other comedians, they're not there to be court jesters, they are there to try their jokes on each other and get inspiration.
This was a amazing interview and dropped many gems!!! You networking and being a fun like able person is what draws people to you and gets you plugged in to lots of opportunities.Only people who miss out are the bitter angry folks like Aries who instead of growing friendships he was the what you giving me now
Suge Knight: Anyone that wanna be a comedian, without networking, laughing all at the BBQs, going to fight parties with Eddie Murphy..... Be like Aries Spears! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How you know what they doing at these fight parties if you've NEVER been to one? You are only assuming they are court jesters.. they could just be watching the fight, drinking beers, eating wings and talking ish...
Also, Aries is assuming that these guys don’t get work from him. Even if indirectly, what’s the point of shunning somebody with Eddie’s star power. Literally does you no favors.
How a person often feel about themselves they often project onto others, Alex just wanted to go Kik it & Aries felt it would be a court jester thang, you form your own feelings Bruh
Aries is waaaaay too NEW YORK ATTITUDE AND HE JUST HASN'T GROWN PAST THAT AT HIS AGE THIS IS WHY Aries is not getting roles and he is just doing STAND UP 💯
@@julbri7105 from the comedy side definitely. I think part of it is because NYC has a reputation for being very cliquish. Also, LA, Chicago, ATL, FL, TX, never forget how NY use to clown cats back in the day because they were "country" and not from the boroughs or tri-state area.
He's from Chicago and doesn't represent us well. I've been to Eddie's fight party and it wasn't nothing like Spears said. Everybody was just enjoying one another company.
He's versatile, he's done what he's had to do in the industry and stayed lowkey for years, thas how you suppose to do it. rub shoulders with the heavyweights, then become a heavyweight.... arie has to stop being upset with the world
Great interview full of networking info 👏🏽👏🏽. Get out, meet and greet, stay in constant communication with people who can help you along the way, always remain positive, and be thankful. I was able to get great things out of this interview that will help me in my world. #thankyou
facts. Same reason he talks bad about kevin hart. he thinks that every body wants to be in a show and movie. real friends stay around whether you can put them on ir not
Right? 😒 So He won't be friends if a person doesn't help him gain fame & $? Not wanting to be around people who drag him down is 1 thing but he sound like a user.
What I'm trying to figure out, why is everyone making it about business. What's wrong with going to a party to have a good time. Yea of course you'll network while you're there but I'm sure there was free food, drinks, and ladies/men, and ain't nothin wrong with that.
@@SRStorm718 yeah, but he was putting food on his table, and I'm sure a lot of the other people that went to those parties did as well. Fights are usually on a Saturday night, if he didn't have any shows what's wrong with going out to have a good time instead of sitting around at home doing nothing?
A good, straight up interview. Those that know how to work a crowd have a higher rate of success. Some don’t know how to NETWORK, & too scared to admit it... because that Aries Comment shines light on his industry shortcoming.
Yes, he did play. He took that rod up the back door. In Hollywood you have to pay to play. And he looks like he plays every game. He has very feminine mannerisms and he arches his eyebrows. You do the math.
His Jamie Foxx show character was so underrated
Pheeno! 😊
Hell yeah (Pheno)

I can't lie. He seems so secure and positive. That macho fake masculine aggressive shit is played out.

Respect to Alex. Played a big role in creating The Fresh Prince Character as Will Smith’s punch up writer. Dude has a lot of talent.
Darian Lynch punch up writer? Can you elaborate, forgive my ignorance.
Pop 718 It’s all good. When a movie or tv show has the script developed a punch up writers job is to tweak the lines where they may need some tweaking, adding jokes, phrases, etc to make the dialogue pop more. So when Will gets a script he’ll call Alex and ask him to punch it up for him. He may have others but I know that Alex is one of his main go-to guys for that.

I see Aries perspective not " ass kissing"
Yeah bro. Aries been on the scene for a minute. He was funny asf on Mad TV tho.
I don't see alex ass kissing if Ed the one constantly calling him
TOTALLY AGREE with you! 2 different perspectives from 2 different experiences. Alex makes some valid points and he was humble and grateful for the immeasurable experiences. But Aries made a VALID point too! Why didn't these so called great connective/networking encounters and friendships materialize into something more valid and possibly successful ventures/creatively outputs?
Weslee that brotha' went on to explain how he made millions of dollars off the connections he made from attending Eddie's fight parties.
@@daboe0909 he was bragging. But both men should be well financially endowed by now.
Saw homie live a couple years ago he wasnt even supposed to come on stage but ended up doin a small set hilarious hands down
He was funny as hell in “Don’t be A Menace”💯
whoody G Ponder facts!
5 dollars BUSTER 😂😂
Yasssss wasn’t he also on players club
Toothpick: I miss makin love to her.
AJ: Me too.
TP: The fuck?
AJ: I was helpin you out.
TP: how was you helpin me out?
AJ: You was lock down, fool.
Hell yeah he was. Lol
Aries is mad because he didn’t get the invite from Eddie directly
That's how it usually be, when you not let into the "party" you talk shit about it. If Spears was at half the level Kev Hart was he wouldn't be saying anything?
Yesss 💡
He stupid as hell for not showing up to Eddie's house..and he's supposed to be a comedian. straight hate
Aries Spears pride is his downfall. Instead of hustling, networking, and building relationships, He'd rather be a hater of those that understand the game.
It's like he just took a left turn. I just don't get him. If you don't want yo play cool. But don't waste time talking about others that a are. It's their life not his.
We could say he knows Shaq and he ain't did shit with that connection.
Facts. I dont like Kevin harts comedy but If I was an up and coming stand up comedian I would fake smile and fake it to make it around him to get Money. You gotta sell your soul a little in many careers to move up especially in the entertainment industry
@@everettfanor1989
You don't really even have to do that, don't fake smile or anything just have an open mind and be genuine person. Exposing yourself a new opportunities isn't selling your soul.
MONEY/SUCCESS 10Million He would sniff out the fakeness. That's why you be genuine and really want to soak up game. Learn how to fish by learning from those that are successful. That's why you chase the vision and not the money. Money will come if you have something to offer and are exposed to the opportunities.
I don't think people realize how much that quick "I wrote for Aries." statement is such a devastating shot to Aries without even trying to... Lol🤨
Right lol
Oh I caught it! The guy who criticized Kevin Hart for having writers.
Yeah he slipped that one in there smooth...
He wrote in a movie that Aries was in... not his jokes
Standup. Aries specifically cited this is where comics test their mettle vs others. He got in Kev for having people write his stand ups. In Aries eyes standup is where you shine. Show your skill set. Having help kind of diminishes it.
Alex has been my brother in comedy for almost 30 years
He’s always treated me like royalty even though he was a much bigger name. He’s very humble and cool
What you see is who he is
Aries spears is angry every time there’s a mic in front of his face. He gotta let that hostility go
He's the Janet Hubert of comedy
FACTS!!!!
@@iamyourbiggestfan6420 😂
Aries gets mad at everyone except the nigga that put hands on him on video.
@@kingtyson713 🤣😭
My dude Alex knowin him from back in the day High School Westchester Hi. Dance group " The Romeos" One of the best dance groups from that era 1985-1987 Soultrain etc.... I loved it when he was on Jamie Fox show,Players Club, his own stand up comedy, and writing Fresh Prince etc. So proud of him!!!!
I’ve always detected a bit of “douchiness” in Aries Spears, that’s why that dude gave him that “2 piece” on that radio show that 1 time
Really, this is some emotional S**** Aries Spears did NOT throw Alex Thomas under the bridge but Thomas definitely threw Aries under the bridge by calling him 'bitter'. In the process, everybody is dismissing Aries simply stating Eddie Murphy is NOT networking...(that is a business term) with other Black men. Spears should have handled it differently he should have gone to Eddie's house and ask for a business meeting, he should have respectfully asked for the come up. In turn, those that have the power to provide the come up shouldn't expect an A**** licking from those that need the come up. Black men need to address their own inability to communicate effectively!
Melanin On Fleek because he is bitter , people get mad at the truth, every interview Aries does he’s always angry n they owe me attitude lol u a grownass man dawg get over it
Terry Sims Zoe bro
Alex Thomas is laughing all the way to the bank...😂😂😂😂...Alex-1 Aries-0...
@@melaninonfleek8670 when you call a comedian a "court jester" you are throwing them all the way under the bus or "bridge" as you say. No comedian appreciates being called a clown which is what a court jester is.
Alex Thomas could play Aries Spears in the Aries Spears Movie...
Rich Harrow 😂😂😂😂
Fuckn weong man 😂
It could do it better
Rich Harrow facts
🤣🤣🤣
What comedian in his right mind would decline an invite to Eddie Murphy’s house. Please!! Arie just a hater. He the same dude that was on Neal Brennan podcast crying and begging for Neal to to help him do a sketch comedy show...lmao! smh
Kind of crazy because Aries always said he was a huge fan Eddie, he even used to dress like him
Eddy is just feeding from them. Remember Norbit. Eddy is nt funny anymore.and he is not God.. not for me LOL
@@carlosbrazao6039 yeah good thing its only your opinion.. In my opinion Eddie is hilarious and he's having a amazing comeback 💯
@@jamesgeiger1543 thanks James, everybody feeds off everyone. Variety is a spice of life, just because you co write with someone or utalize someone to look at things in a different light doesn't mean your not funny. It just shows everyone needs someone at some point to bring out a better them. Sounds like that other guy angry
@@carlosbrazao6039 do you even know what comedy is? Well the majority of people disagree with you.
He got his ass when he said,, its called"" Networking""" hahahahahahaha
That's why your blessed alex , aries could learn a lot from you obviously he never tried to learn from you wow u had ya hand in some iconic stuff💯💪💪
Aries is sour that he’s not as famous as HE thinks he should be cause everyone he talks about is Way more famous then him. All of em.
💯
Wow, no lies detected
I also think Aries should be way more famous hes funny af I dont think people like him tho
It’s true tho he should be more famous but hey ain’t nobody fault but his
Aries believes in atheism hes just one of those guys who cant be happy. He over thinks shit, for example Alex is friends with eddy & eddys has the most money out of majority of his friends I'm sure eddy has done so much for ppl but it just doesn't get told because thats not what friendship is about to air out what you do for ppl or for ppl to air out what you do for them like it's a clout contest. . Aries is thinking business and that's why hes not in the inner circles it's not always about business it's about just getting the guys together hanging out eating good food and being able to come in the interviews and share those kind of moments. I'm sure eddy pays for everything and probably tell his friends dont bring anything he got the bill. Probably pay for car services for those who need to get home from over drinking or he probably let ppl stay at his home when they cant make it back home when he have parties that's what friendship is about. I'm sure Alex can tell alot of funny og stories about eddy and Charlie. It's not about coming over and thinking "omg I have to make eddy laugh" or thinking "I need to be eddys friend so hopefully he can put me in one of his movies for a check" that's some ol leaching ass bullshit and I wouldn't want anyone around me that has aries spears thought process.
Aires has a point. You see what Adam Sandler does with his friends.
Just like you see what Eddy Murphy, Chris Rock and Chappelle do for theirs. Alex said that he got a lot of writing jobs from rubbing elbows with this crowd. Aries should have taken note. Plus he is always condescending and talking ish about other comedians, even the ones he called friends. Why would ppl put him on. Aries has a severe case of entitlement. Noone owes you anything
But yet he's never been in any movies, so wtf he's been doing all this time
Sandler, Hart, Burr, Haddish
Damn!!! I was about to go in on you and you literally made me SHUT THE FUCK UP. What you just said is true.
Maybe they showed up to Sandler's parties.
Alex Thomas very under-rated
Dang the roast is real but his words pure.
I love when you get to hear the other side of the story.
Aries had a valid point, but he didn't have to call them Court jesters.
He let his pride get in the way. Be who you are but don't ever stop yourself from networking.
Naw he really dont tho.. As a grown man you cant expect anyone to just do somethin for you. You have to be like my bro Alex and go get it yourself. Or you will wind up angry, and ask yourself this. How many dudes is out here sayin Aries Spears put them on??!
@@JohnRapheal7 It's not like he is sitting at home drinking 40s waiting for a hand out. He has been putting in work touring, putting out comedy albums and more. He is just saying if we are friends and you see me out here working, why not put me in position to take advantage of an opportunity if you have a platform.
@@NattyTurnaOfficial im not sayin that he was but he sounds salty that other ppl didnt put him in the spotlight instead of puttin in that wrk and grindin like bro said. And like i said when the last comedian you heard say Aries gave them a platform? If you that mad Ogs didnt do it for you why not do it for others? He just always comes off like he mad at what others got. Pocket watchin n shit
Yall acting like he supposed to look like he did in his 20s and 30s-!.wow
idk why people think like that they say the same thing about Martin people gets old man that's life
Gunnel Gainey yea but some people don’t age well
@@Psn.LeftHookCrook yea everyone dont age the same
He look successful to me ion know wtf errbody else talking bout.
@@kevinsmith4878 I think it's the facial hair being gone. ... He still looks good
Lots of comedians talk about hanging out with other comedians, they're not there to be court jesters, they are there to try their jokes on each other and get inspiration.
Ha ...tryna pick each other's brain to see which 1 they can steal from and not get their head busted for it
That's what open mics are for.. or writing sessions
*must be from the West Coast.. top button up on a flannel and gold chain.. straight OG status*

Alex have a great perception on grinding and being humble
Aries doesn't look like he has sex on a regualr basis. This would make a grown ass man petty and angry AF. IJS
Speaking of sex...girl u look good😍
He probably get it
what makes him mad is
that he can't keep it
he has to pay for it Everytime 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Aries was just telling the truth, has nothing to do with sex on the regular lol 😄
@@frederickwilliams6200 it was a joke

This was a amazing interview and dropped many gems!!! You networking and being a fun like able person is what draws people to you and gets you plugged in to lots of opportunities.Only people who miss out are the bitter angry folks like Aries who instead of growing friendships he was the what you giving me now
joats a 💯 👏👍💯👏💯👍💯👏
And shy, introverted people. SO HARD for people like us to network. I wish schools would offer courses on how to network or something.
Suge Knight: Anyone that wanna be a comedian, without networking, laughing all at the BBQs, going to fight parties with Eddie Murphy.....
Be like Aries Spears! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
⚰⚰⚰
😂😂😂😂😂
Dead!!!
This just took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You win the internet LMAO
I was waiting to hear him shout out Jamie Foxx! Alex Thomas has been legit for years.
Look like a crip from another dimension

How you know what they doing at these fight parties if you've NEVER been to one? You are only assuming they are court jesters.. they could just be watching the fight, drinking beers, eating wings and talking ish...
Facts
They could be bumping butts and Aries wasn’t down LoL
Johnny, Eddie and sugar have 3sums
Why can’t it just be that those 3 comedians are simply actually friends with Eddie? Nobody want nuthin but to be friends🤷🏾♀️
Exactly
Aries is too toxic to let his guard down.
Exactly my thoughts. Negro that’s what friends do!
Also, Aries is assuming that these guys don’t get work from him. Even if indirectly, what’s the point of shunning somebody with Eddie’s star power. Literally does you no favors.
Right Aries sounds like a bozo
The comments are terrible. 😫 I like Alex. He’s always been funny to me.
Lisa C ME TOO!!!💋💋💋
@@christinehobson8686 Number 1 right here 🤗
I never even knew his name until this video.
I’m a fan of Aries Spears..but this guy brought up some good points..
Agreed!
This was a good interview. I understand both they point of view. Comedy Hype keep up the good work.
Alex Thomas Is So Underrated Much Blessings Peace And Love Brother!🙏🙏💜🧡❤
Spears thought he was supposed to be homies with Eddie but...
he has a jealous heart
NO ARIES WANTS TO BE THE NEXT ARIES SPEARS YAL CANT SEE THIS....
EatingWithSylvia now he just a Aries spears
5 dollars buster!! Aries mad ‘cause he messed up his career.
Aries thinks he's funnier then he is he does the same sets every show
Ahmose King facts
HES A GREAT IMPRESSIONIST....
Anthony Hough facts tho
Ahmose King he’s hilarious af, but he needs to figure his angle out...
I think he funny as hell!I think what got in his way he really dint play that "Hollywood"game they talk about,
Alex is legendary for his work over the years.
I love this guy.he is just funny inside out. Just a great person.
How a person often feel about themselves they often project onto others, Alex just wanted to go Kik it & Aries felt it would be a court jester thang, you form your own feelings Bruh
Those bags under Aries eyes let me know he sit up all night thinking of ways to hate on the next man....
🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂blooooood
That or stays up reading all these comments
Wow 😳 😂 those raccoon eyes are a sign of poor health. Late nights, liquor and fast food lifestyle.
Blessed2baBlessing actually he said he was in some sort of accident that caused it .
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Extremely profound interview! Phenomenal!
Aries is waaaaay too NEW YORK ATTITUDE AND HE JUST HASN'T GROWN PAST THAT AT HIS AGE THIS IS WHY Aries is not getting roles and he is just doing STAND UP 💯
Yep New York folks somewhat still getting left behind n the entertainment n someways
@@julbri7105 from the comedy side definitely. I think part of it is because NYC has a reputation for being very cliquish. Also, LA, Chicago, ATL, FL, TX, never forget how NY use to clown cats back in the day because they were "country" and not from the boroughs or tri-state area.
He's from Chicago and doesn't represent us well. I've been to Eddie's fight party and it wasn't nothing like Spears said. Everybody was just enjoying one another company.
He's a suburb cat don't blame new York
@@sincereiam lol "enjoying each other" sounds weird especially at Eddie Murphy house but I get it.
Isn't it funny Alex is saying the same thing Aries said about Paul. He's Angry
He's versatile, he's done what he's had to do in the industry and stayed lowkey for years, thas how you suppose to do it. rub shoulders with the heavyweights, then become a heavyweight....
arie has to stop being upset with the world
Great interview full of networking info 👏🏽👏🏽. Get out, meet and greet, stay in constant communication with people who can help you along the way, always remain positive, and be thankful. I was able to get great things out of this interview that will help me in my world. #thankyou
Aries spears only wants to be friends with people who help him get a show. Your not a real friend always roaching
facts. Same reason he talks bad about kevin hart. he thinks that every body wants to be in a show and movie. real friends stay around whether you can put them on ir not
@Vegas Mitchell you know how many people Eddie Murphy knows. So he has to give every last one a show. That's doing to much.
Right? 😒 So He won't be friends if a person doesn't help him gain fame & $? Not wanting to be around people who drag him down is 1 thing but he sound like a user.
FACTS!!!! Ok?!? Aries, GTFOH with all that bullshit!!!! 🙄
This man look like an overcooked Charles Barkley
I'm DEAD 😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
SKOLi I ain’t gonna lie, that was funny as fuck
LoL he's in black face
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@stirlingpickett5253 😂😂😂
What I'm trying to figure out, why is everyone making it about business. What's wrong with going to a party to have a good time. Yea of course you'll network while you're there but I'm sure there was free food, drinks, and ladies/men, and ain't nothin wrong with that.
True but it's business before pleasure. If you can't put food on your own table, then partying is pointless.
@@SRStorm718 yeah, but he was putting food on his table, and I'm sure a lot of the other people that went to those parties did as well. Fights are usually on a Saturday night, if he didn't have any shows what's wrong with going out to have a good time instead of sitting around at home doing nothing?
T3beatz lolll your profile pic made me laugh 😂 niceeeee
Remember katt Williams was talkin bout dem parties and what be goin on
@@AQUAPHREESH193 my son did that. I'm not a sneaker head at all.
A good, straight up interview. Those that know how to work a crowd have a higher rate of success. Some don’t know how to NETWORK, & too scared to admit it... because that Aries Comment shines light on his industry shortcoming.
I agree with this brother. He played the game. And well played. Yes Aries does seem angry and bitter.
Aaron Garnett yeah man I agree Aries funny but his attitude is fucked
Yes, he did play. He took that rod up the back door. In Hollywood you have to pay to play. And he looks like he plays every game. He has very feminine mannerisms and he arches his eyebrows. You do the math.
Mic Maliss takes one to know one aye?
