5 out of 5 stars Bigger, blacker, and funnier.......2005-09-07

This is a hilarios CD. Every song on there had me cracking up. Put it in the player when you're cleaning around the flat. thats what I do!

5 out of 5 stars very funny.......2004-03-20

I love Chris Rocks stand up. Thats where he's at his best.

4 out of 5 stars the stand up is great.......2003-09-12

chris rock is one of the best comedians around and this cd proves why the No Sex In the Champaign Room song wasn't all that good like everyone thinks but I really like this CD

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2003-02-04

I was realy disappointed with this CD. More than half of the tracks are songs or skits that aren't even funny. I am a big Chris Rock fan and I've heard many of the jokes on other albums. Even die hard fans should stay away from this CD.

4 out of 5 stars The Stand-Up Is Great, the Skits and Songs Are Hit and Miss.......2002-03-08

It's unfair to rechristen Chris Rock as the New Richard Pryor, but if Mr. Richard Pryor has an heir to his throne, it is almost certainly Rock. On his third album (after the good BORN SUSPECT and the excellent ROLL WITH THE NEW), as he did with ROLL, he splits up the stand-up with skits and song parodies.

The stand-up is some of his best. The first two stand-up tracks, "Black Mall" and "Crazy White Kids," are among his greatest hits. Rock takes on such current events as Columbine ("'What music did they listen to?' WHO CARES?! What music did Hitler listen to? What was on his CD player?") and the Lewinski Scandal ("The President is a man, and a man is basically only as faithful as his options.") and talks about such timeless themes as homophobia ("There's no reason to be homophobic. Everyone has at least a gay cousin."), men having affairs ("It's the same two women: The one you love, and the one who loves you. One has the best...the other makes the best pancakes in the world.") and, yes, race ("There ain't a White man in this room who'd trade places with me, and I'm rich!"), sometimes profoundly, sometimes profanely, and always avoiding the cliches and stereotypes on which lesser comics coast. The only problem is the sound quality, which slides in and out, so be prepared to keep your finger on the volume control button.

As far as the skits and songs, Rock is a "Saturday Night Live" alumnus, and while he's one of the best of late, he demonstrates that show's biggest weakness. While the premises of his skits range from amusing to very clever, too many of them go on for far too long. His shorter skits ("ODB - W.O.W." #1, 2, 3; "Roger & Zapp," "Savion Glover") are hilarious, but some of his longer skits ("Nerd & Fly Girl," "Table Dance/Snow Flake") go on forever, long after they've ceased to be entertaining.

Still, his stand-up and his funnier pieces, especially "No Sex," "Me & ODB" and the divinely inspired ghost track, are worth sitting through his pieces that drag. And remember: There is no sex in the champagne room.
