In many ways, Katt is a walking contradiction. Could it be the price of fame? Drugs catching up to him? The stress of not being as successful as he might have wanted to be? Or could it be something darker? Something perhaps out of his control? Katt would still make mentions of the industry and Hollywood here briefly, but for some reason, after the release of this stand up, life seemingly got tougher for Katt. Katt would take a more political tone in his "It's Pimpin Pimpin" special since it was released in 2008 around the time of the election.
One of the bigger comedians in current times would go through an airport with a stolen gun in his briefcase knowing they check for weapons anyways? That doesn't add up to me personally, but if you believe Katt is on heavy drugs, then maybe that makes sense to you. Now, let's think about that for a moment. He was arrested in late 2006, and would have to be sentenced to three years probation for having a stolen gun apparently at the LA airport. However, right after Pimp Chronicles is where it all seemed to go wrong. Though his star wasn't necessarily the biggest, he was building a movement of loyal fans and with appearances in films like The Perfect Holiday and First Sunday, Katt was maintaining and even preparing for a second big stand up special, this one titled "It's Pimpin, Pimpin". For the majority, this was the first time you really saw Katt Williams do his thing, and he instantly left an impact on everybody with that role. After having an appearance on the show NYPD Blue, Katt would be given a huge role in the 3rd Friday film, Friday After Next, as the charismatic Money Mike. While his success was growing some, eyes began to open and soon Katt would be given a hell of an opportunity. In the late 90's, Katt established himself via The Improv, The Comedy Club and appeared on BET's Comic View. Katt began his career in Cincinnati, his hometown, doing stand up. Now, to some this marks the actions of a crazy man on drugs, who has lost his way, but is that really the case? Let's take a look at the rise and fall of Katt Williams. Katt was coincidentally arrested after he made those comments and accused of holding 5 women at gunpoint. By now, I'm sure the news has hit you all: Katt Williams challenged Kevin Hart to a comedy battle for 5 million dollars total after calling Kevin a "puppet" on his comedy tour.
