Comedians!!!! If you don't know this man, YOU DO NOT know your craft. This man here spawned, Martin Lawrence, Wanda Sikes, Tony Woods, Lewis Black, Chico Bean, and yes, Dave Chappelle. This is the moment that Howard Stern got officially introduced to the world. Petey Greene is the world's first "Shock Jock" in the world of radio and it was before that term existed. The reason why it didn't exist before Stern is because all Petey was doing was being a professional s**t talker.
Yeah, he was funny as hell, but above all, he was real, and gave us nothing but the "Show Nuff" because that's all he knew how to give. I pay homage to this man each and every time I step on front of an audience.
