While spending time with family and friends in Los Angeles, California, over the weekend, Rapper and new-found comedian Tip Harris stop by The Cali Kickback podcast with comedians Lewis Belt and Teddy Ray. During the hour-long podcast, Harris discusses his new career as a stand-up comedian and why he’s not bothered by the hecklers who feel that he doesn’t deserve the opportunities being offered to him.
Over the past couple of months, rapper/actor Tip Harris has garnered mainstream attention with several surprise stand-up comedy performances. Starting at a comedy club in Atlanta, Georgia, and highlighted by an exceptional guest performance during Crack ’em Up Thursdays inside the world-famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, California, Harris quickly becomes one of comedy’s newest superstars.
A man who has experienced his fair share of controversy in the world of hip-hop, Tip’s wave of momentum has seemed to ruffle many feathers in the world of comedy. Comedians have taken to social media to voice their concerns as the hip-hop megastar has not put in enough stage time to be granted the opportunity of performing on high-profile shows.
A multi-platinum selling recording artist with smash hits Swagga Like Us, and What You Know, Harris is considered one of the pioneers of trap music. Aside from music, the 41-year-old boasts an acting résumé that includes roles in ATL, American Gangster, Ant-Man, and Takers, as well as his VH1 reality series T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle.
