Tracy Morgan has no relevance. You want an articulate black comedian then listen to a Patrice O'Neal tape. You want an obnoxious uncle tom hack then watch Tracy Morgan. Tracy Morgan has no legacy. People will reference Paul Mooney's routines and thoughts for decades. Hicks and Carlin will live eternally. Tracy Morgan? Will people remember him a week after he is dead? I doubt it considering that he's irrelevant alive.
