Chris Rock - Bigger and Blacker
Date undefinedIt's Chris Rock.....the man is very, very funny....BUT the newer guys, especially Godfrey...are expanding on the theme and really have moved to where comedy is headed. Check out the Godfrey CD if you dig Chris, Eddie, Pryor, even the Blue Collar stuff really. I can't state it enough how funny the Godfrey 'Godspeed' CD is.....

Date undefinedNot that quick kinda jerk, "Like...(thwack, thwack, thwack)...Did you hear something?!"
This is Chris Rock at his very best. If you know of another DVD by him that's just as funny, let me know!
I will definitely be buying this because some of what he says, is SO true!

Date undefinedRock is perhaps the sharpest stand-up working today (though Carlin is still trenchant, to say the least), and this is his peak. Crafting a well-nigh perfect performance using his pissed-off ghetto persona, Rock hits the bull's eye again and again here. His delivery is razor-sharp, the material pretty much flawless; this will still be hilarious in fifty years.
I've seen hundreds of stand-up routines; this is the only one I've watched over a dozen times. It never seems to grow old...I don't know how it's always funny, but it is. When I've got to either laugh immmediately or die of post-modern deconstructivist meta-ironic brainache, this is the pick. The cd is nowhere near as good, different takes on the same material but without the edge.
Five stars, no doubt.
