"The beauty of being Black is that the future is always better" - Chris Rock

This just makes the situation all the more sad & disappointing. Chris wasn’t even aware he should have been on guard or defending himself as Will was approaching him. 😢 I hope the media replays this and the other videos that Chris has opened up to the entire world discussing his diagnosis of NVLD. This is the straw that broke the camels back for me. 😢💜

I have a new love for Chris Rock.

“We take for granted that a person can talk and get everyone to be quiet and listen “ ~ Chris Rock

Nice to see Chris acknowledge that life is different for him and his children because he's rich and famous. As he said, he's not exempt, but because of his economic status he's on a hill.

Omg so much respect for Chris Rock ... he is working so hard on being a good person ... love him ❤️

I love how Chris is not an angry resentful person. I feel uplifted by his spirit and attitude

This interview!!! Chris Rock is one of the GOATS. And shouts to him for being so candid 🔥

Chris Rock recognizing his rich privilege is a beautiful thing. Yes he's not immune, but being wealthy makes it a tad easier.

Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle are the most intelligent comedians of this generation. The amount of gems this guy is droppin is priceless 🔥

Chris Rock is a gem. He brings us joy with his comedy and then also is so level - headed and grounded. He handled the Oscars fiasco with such maturity and he is just so engaging.

People that are authentic and transparent and allow themselves to be vulnerable always make the best interviews. It removes the ‘celebrity’ and allows the audience relate. Chris Rock, Dave Chapels give some of the best interviews. Love it!!!

Chris Rock: One of the brilliant minds/comedians out there. Wish everybody hates chris lasted longer

20:28 This interview aired back in 2020. Saw Chris’ NVLD explanation on The View too. Fast fwd to Oscars 2022. OMG, no wonder he stood there with hands back leaning forward. Yet displayed incredible professionalism! This Oscar-triggering moment & aftermath could’ve all been avoided if the parties involved, incl the Academy & media, did their homework, respected each other’s disorders & changed course. Oh well, what a way for us all to learn the lesson. ✌🏽

"The great's make adjustments..." and "the wack keep playing the way they were playing..." Love the comedy and maturity of #ChrisRock during his visit to the #BreakfastClub. A year later, his words still hold up.

I remember when people was laughing at Chris for driving a Altima. But he explained I don’t need nothing fancy plus I like the car.

I love his transparency... this is what aging gracefully is all about...self reflection at its best😊

Let Chris know we love him ❤

Chris Rock's greatest strength is his intelligence.

I'm really glad that Chris was so open about being on the spectrum. With invisible disabilities, people tend to think that those who have some form of Autism are unintelligent, but actually- they can be VERY smart and successful. It's purely social.

Chris said so much here. Man needs a weekly place to just talk.

I thought of this interview today. My perspective has changed again. I truly do respect Chris and I hope he is going to be ok mentally after that Oscar ordeal. I was being more empathetic for Will and Jada so I forgot that Chris needs to be checked on too. I hope all parties involved gets therapy and love.❤ Chris Rock you are loved in our community for life.

The way he presented how to handle therapy and how it’s like a relationship. Gotta present the ugliest version of yourself for it to work. That shit hit me. What a brilliant mind man. 👏

Thank you thank you so much for being open and candid Chris Rock because my son has this. We never knew it was called NVLD. We were always told it was ADHD and I knew it wasn't. He's 27 now and he watched the interview and called me so excited and said "mom, mom that's exactly what I have". He sent me a UKposts video about NVLD that explained it even deeper and it was my son to a tee. My son has a BA in Journalism and a minor in Political Science but now he feels like he can seek the help he needs to better understand himself and help him with dealing with society.

Very informative. I'm sad that Chris was going into a good place, had been getting therapy, and then the Oscars happened. I hope he can continue to move forward.

Chris definitely feels as if he has absolutely nothing to hide at this point in his life and career. I dig the place he seems to be at right now. You can see the transparency and the evolution of growth as a man from him. You're always learning and growing and as you get older and consistently mature, you change. I'm happy to see him at this stage and being this clear headed.

“Nah I got my own... plane” Chris didn’t WANNA flex, buuuuuuuuut 💁🏾‍♀️😂

Shoutout to the person who was practicing their touch typing during the whole video. I hope they beat their best typing speed.

I appreciate Chris Rock self-awareness that he will get treated different than the average black person! Way to go bro👍🏾

And some people were saying that this guy was dumb. This is one of the most enlightening interviews I’ve seen. Pure wisdom.

This interview explains the delay Chris Rock had when Will Smith slapped him!!!! Thank God the disease caused him to delay reaction!!! Now my question is did the Smiths see this interview!! It's obvious a lot of people didn't see this interview & the Breakfast Club hosts forgot about it!!!

“You don’t capture a criminal by telling him you’re after him everyday. You capture him by parking a white van in front of his house.” One of the smartest things Chris ever said. What a legend.

Never clicked so fast! Chris Rock🐐☑️

”When you are black, there are no good old days” Chris Rock Truth!

I was diagnosed with NVLD at 45 y/o It's really rare. So courageous Chris for stepping forward with this to raise awareness! If there are any other NVLD'ers here I would love to connect. Thanks for doing that interview!

Most smart people tend to be a little on the spectrum. It can be a gift.

Dude has a nice size library! Respect!

"You betta make some decisions before the white man makes 'em for you..." A word.

Chris Rock is brilliant! So many words of wisdom and heartfelt caring for others and always striving to be better. We've got to keep making good new days. Great show!

Damn i wanted this to be longer. Chris is such a funny and smart dude.

Chris has excelled in his career and I love to hear that he has his own plane, daughter is attending college in Paris and Covid is forcing him to reflect on his mental health and his continued financial health.

"Laughter is our body guard....the greatest sensations you can give a person is sex and laughter,...those are the highest things; but we break-up with people we have great sex with, you don’t break-up with nobody that makes you laugh!” "The beauty of being black is the future is always better. That's the beauty. Tomorrow is always better. There are no good old days. Maybe musically..." The two best lines of the entire interview!!

Personal,honest and humble interview

Eddie Murphy, Chris rock, Dave Chapelle. 👑👑👑

I love listening to Podcasts in the gym.... I’ve basically replaced music with podcasts

Chris Rock has always been and will always be my favorite comedian. He is truly a genius amd drops interesting,.intelligent commentary all the time! He is definitely a legend - 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

After listening to this o can only feel for him.. wow

One of the best TBC interviews I'v watched in a while... KUDOS to Chris Rock.. Legend...!!

The 3 little pigs analogy was so genius 😳😳😳😳😳

I'm so glad I tuned into the interview. Props to the BC for letting Chris Rock drop knowledge without cutting him off or over-talking the guest. Chris Rock praise to you for promoting mental health, it is a topic that doesn't get enough praise in our society, talk to somebody people, preferably a professional but if not then someone in a better position than you in life!!

I’m probably the only person that feels chris rock is my favorite comedian... I’ve always love the way he tells intellectual jokes about “real life” events ! The man is genius

This man has evolved big time....his jokes are even more intelligent...my dude!

I still don't understand why people keep saying the system is broken? This is how the system was made, we can't be surprised at what's going on, it was made to benefit one race of people. It's working perfectly for them!!

I have the same disorder. I've had women literally tell me they wanted to smash and it went over my head. The only difference is that I'm extremely technically inclined and artistically inclined so I was actually diagnosed as having asperger syndrome. What helped me with music and technical skills is that I see sound as colors and music comes to me as mathematical equations(rhythms are fractions and chords and melodies are geometry and algebra)...which is really(to me) the same as anything involving some kind of technical skill. It took my wife to take our son to get tested (because he also has the same disorder) for me to get retested...then it was explained to me as nonverbal disorder. I've actually been off of medication for almost 7 years now but growing up it was VERY tough. The teasing was brutal. I was the music geek, math nerd who was trying to be white. Even today people are freaked out that I can play four instruments and can build a guitar amplifier or write a computer program just as well. Artists generally aren't technical and tech heads generally aren't artists but I do both equally well.

I wish this video was highlighted after the Oscars incident...

"Everyone in the chain of command should have been on trial."

I absolutely love Chris Rock. I'm so thankful he is freely talking about Mental Health

"Membership has its privileges but every now and then you forget your card" ~ Chris Rock. ✔💯

"How do I get joy from things I don't buy?" It's so refreshing to hear somebody in Rock's position say something like that. Especially when fame, money, objects, are the hallmarks for success (though not happiness) in American culture...especially Rap culture with it's cartoonish and ludicrous displays of..."I got all this stuff...and I'm better than you coz of it! "

Mr. Chris rock dropped nuggets and jewels all over this interview. It was brilliance when he spoke to America being the most medicated country in the world. Is it any wonder why so many of us just don’t get it. Brilliant.

I keep telling people ... just don’t go after police go after chiefs , legislators governments mayors the whole package but y’all keep telling me to shut tf up

"How do I get joy from things I don't buy?" Can't get much realer than that. ♥️

This interview! Gratitude for the honest thoughtfulness Chris Rock! Much appreciated!

Chris Rock is so insightful. Now I want to look at all his old material. Long live CR

GREAT!!! interview. He is the truest. My favorite part,- Membership has its privleges, sometimes you forget your card. Chris Rock on the mic. that should help you understand why a lot of rich or affluent blk folks are silent about the injustices sometimes they are too far removed tho not exempt.

Thank you Breakfast club for having The Honorable Chris Rock on the show, I'm actually willing to get therapy again for a better life moving forward.

“There is a responsibility to being the smarter person.”

Great respect for Chris Rock. His house is made of bricks. He is learned to master his emotions. If you can master your emotions you can run anything.

This was a real interview. Learned a lot about Chris Rock. They asked great follow up questions.

“Angela, I think you have non-verbal learning disorder.” i laughed til my stomach hurt. i think i have it too 😂😂😂😂

First: who the hell is typing while chris rock is speaking. Second: Charlemagne stop typing. Third: Chris Rock is the greatest of my generation. And I will look into non verbal communication

I see chris rock anywhere I clicks asap!!

His comedy is not my type of comedy but I can listen him talk all day. This dude has a brilliant mind. He on another plane

I give mad respect to Chris Rock for revolutionizing the NATURAL HAIR MOVEMENT.

OMG... I see why people care about him.... seems like such a caring human.

Tomorrow is always better . There are no good ole days . That was so deep and funny at the same time man. Salute to all my black kings and queens .

Who the hell typing loud as hell while Chris is talking?! So rude.

Chris Rock is one of the greatest comedians & a wonderful human being

He said alot about digging deep, looking at the man in the mirror, taking accountability, working on self more, watch your circle and surroundings in your life ect. Finding joy in things unbought what a wise man, prayers, healing and safety for Him and them all seriously.🙏🏽❤👍🏽😍💯👏🏽

This was a great interview. Hands down one of my favorites. Funny and thought provoking! Loved it chris rock 🐐

I'm so glad I stayed 'till the very end, because that last 'quote' was the highlight of the interview ... If you're Black, this is always the best time to be alive, there are no 'good old days' .... Damn. That's so painfully true. It's why I feel stuck, all the time ... wanting things to get better, be better, is a consistent pain we just have to live with. We have no past moment in time, that we can reflect on and say it was ever better (except musically) than it is right now. Damn. #UnFilteredEDEN

I wish I could have give him a heads up!! Much Respect Chris!!!!

The 3 Little Pigs analogy....that's a great one!

I'm 67 years young and I love me some Chris and Dave. Up there for me with Bernie and Eddie, just to name a few

Damn Chris Rock is sooooo insightful!! His thought process...wow.

Wow we never know what someone is dealing/struggling with.

The way he said, “no I have my own...plane.” 😂💯

It don’t even matter what he says his voice is just soooo funny! He’s a natural comedian

We neeeeddd to Get a Chris Tucker interview! I really wanna hear what he got going on

“Angela you got non verbal learning disorder” lololol that killed me. Then Angela’s little “I do” at the end of all the laughing 😂🤣

I've never been a big fan of Chris until this interview. I actually listened to this entire interview and was very captivated and have a new found prospective and appreciation for him.

Chris is really a smart guy, so witty and quick

Now that he speaks about his NVLD, I think about that viral clip of Chris talking to Kobe while he was clearly focused on the game. I thought Chris was trying to be funny talking to him but he probably wasn’t reading that Kobe was saying leave me tf alone lol

Such a good interview, much respect for Chris Rock.👏🏼👏🏼

Metaphor - "If you think a 5 year old (Will Smith) is running the ship (sitting front, center at the Oscars), you have the responsibility to look for the ice bergs...it is YOUR job (Chris Rock) to not get caught up in emotion (Chris' noble response to the assault)...there is a responsibility for being the smarter person (that would be Chris Rock). It's not fair but that's the way it is..." Chris Rock ROCKS💪🏾🙏🏾🔥

Charla: I agree 100% because I actually read the article *types keyboard frantically searching for article*

"Angela, I think you have non-verbal learning disorder 🤔" 😂

Chris rock is one of my favorite comedians of all time, I love how he keeps it real.

I would pay real money to watch Chris and Dave talk about anything lol

Anyone realize hes like the only person who's been seen with a private library
