A Quote by Hannibal Buress

I think it's a tough transition. It's easy to go from comedian to rapper, but to go from rapper to comedian is tougher.

Born: February 4, 1983

I'm a comedian, and I decided I wanted to be a comedian when I was eight years old watching old Saturday Night Live episodes. I never decided to be a rapper because I'm not a rapper.

Andy Samberg

I'm not a stand-up comedian by any means, but I do think it's tougher for a woman to go to that territory because it does make people go, 'Aww,' instead of laughing.

People always have these debates about who their favourite rapper is. And I think it's based upon what mood that particular person is in. If someone's favourite rapper is a lyricist then they're focused on rhymes or substance. If someone's favourite rapper is a party rapper, you know, someone who makes music about the clubs... "Oh, he's my favourite rapper". No, his subject matter is your favourite.

Immortal Technique

You can't really label me as a musician, a comedian, or a rapper - you know, it's different.

Awkwafina

Half the time, you go on any one of these news sites, whether it be a Yahoo or a Google, and one of the top headlines is always, "Did a comedian go too far?" or "Comedian offends." It's like, "Really? Comedian?" A person that's supposed to make funny and make silly and historically was the only person who was allowed to make fun of the king? We're the ones that you're taking seriously?

Brad Williams

It's not that I'm playing a rapper. I definitely feel like I'm a legitimate rapper. I just think that, who I am, there's more to me than just being a rapper.

Lil Dicky

As a rapper, you sort of act in music videos and in the persona you adopt onstage. You kinda have to put yourself out there and be courageous even to be a rapper. So, to step into acting was not that difficult a transition to make.

Queen Latifah

If you go down as a comedian's comedian, that's basically meaning other comedians are hopefully feeling that you're doing okay.

Eddie Izzard

I hate when any rapper would just use "Rapper X" because "Rapper X" is hot at the time and put them on the record. That's not how I do my thing. I work with my friends and people I consider fam.

Donnis

I've probably wanted to be a rapper since I was a teenager. I was an actor and comedian and stuff, but I always wanted to rap, it was another outlet.

Jamie Kennedy

I see myself as a comedian rather than a female comedian. I happen to be a woman, but I am a comedian by trade.

Miranda Hart

I don't think of myself as just a rapper. But overspending on sneakers? That's a real rapper thing to do.

Saint Jhn

I am a comedian but it's usually not a compliment to be called a prop comedian but I guess I sometimes use props. And I always confuse humorist with comedian. That's strange.

Demetri Martin

Love life readings are my least favorite things to do in the world because I can sit with Amber Rose and say look 'I'm seeing a 'T' name. This is gonna happen, stick with that relationship. Don't date a rapper.' And then she'll go and date a rapper.
