What happened to Chris Rock's career after his HBO blowup?

Question

I happen to be a big Chris Rock fan and was watching that show. Heres how I remember it went down;

Chris says, "white people are prejudice, they don't like ni**ers" and the crowd went wild jumping up and down cheering and fist pumping. He said, "Hispanic people are prejudice too, they don't like ni**ers either" and the crowd had the same reaction. He then said, "but the most prejudice people are ni**gers. You could hear the crickets churping then. He said "yeah, that's right. Ni**ers are the most prejudice people, they don't like white people, they don't like Hispanic people. Ni**ers don't like ni**ers".

He was scheduled to MC the MTV Music Awards a couple of months later but was limited to a cameo appearance.

So, I guess the question should have been.....Chris Rock where are you?

Answer 1

He said something similar in his stand up and got the same roar of laughter as he did when he said the other groups he said something like....everything people don't like about ni**ers..black people reeeeally hate about ni**gers. Everyone laughed just as much. I personally find it true. He was doing a tour last I heard. He's my favorite comedian. He tells the truth in the form of jokes which is the only way people can handle the truth nowadays. Unfortunately. Why'd you put this question in the politics and government section?

Answer 2

He made that I think I love my wife movie but it looked pretty boring/bad and i think it tanked.  HE also does that "Everybody hates chris" show on CW.  He seems to have gotten less edgey lately and needs a career comeback.

Answer 3

He should have gotten an Oscar for his performance in New Jack City.  Probably the most convincing crackhead portrayal I've ever seen.
