Wayy funny.......2004-11-03

May well be the funniest comedy tape ever recorded. I listen to it often in my car. I stumbled across the tape when I was a teen-ager at a flea market over 20 years ago and bought it for something like $1.00 because I thought the title was funny as well as courageous. It was buried in my various boxes for years and a few years ago I ran across it and listened to it for the first time since I was 14. Well it was a lot funnier now as compared to then, as his humor is really quite sophisticated in its own way. Pryor wastes none of the listener's time, with each sentence leading to or being very funny. His delivery seems utterly spontaneous but listening to the scenarios he spins, it's clear he spent a lot of time and imaginiation energy creating his routine. I listen to it whenever I need a good laugh or just for the heck of it. It is too bad later in life he took the wrong paths and ended up being spent by his fame and passed up his opportunities. Oh well...

Richard Pryor will always be "The King of Raunchy Comedy!"!.......2004-02-29

The 1974 album "That Nigger's Crazy", recorded live in San Francisco, features Richard Pryor at his raunchy, down-and-dirty best. Who else but Richard could capture an audience with off-color subject matter such as the relationship between police officers and African-Americans, winos and junkies, White women & African-American men, etc., etc., etc.? The skit featuring Richard battling his father over curfew issues during Pryor's teenage years is sure to hit a home run as well. Although this is an excellent piece of stand-up comedy done to perfection during Pryor's earlier years, something's missing. What would be even more perfect, is if this comedy masterwork received the remaster treatment, and on CD (I believe this title and Richard's follow-up comedic masterpiece "Bicentennial Nigger" are the only two titles which haven't been released on compact disc - although I could be wrong)! Although Richard Pryor unanimously and rightfully deserves the title as "The King of Raunchy Comedy (!)", Eddie Murphy comes in an extremely close second (even though Murphy no longer performs in stand-up circles). As for Eddie's influence as a comedian, one amazon.com reviewer said it best, that Murphy "did not steal from, but lovingly borrowed" from (the great) Richard Pryor. How true! With those thoughts in mind, make sure you add "That Nigger's Crazy" to your comedy library before Warner/Reprise decides to take it out of print. With laughs this huge, you definitely don't want to be without a copy!

Hope He's Funny.......1999-11-23

From the first line of "Hope I'm Funny" to the end of the tape, this is one of the funniest comedy albums ever! Includes, Dracula, winos, 11:30, Martians, and The Excorcist! This was the first comedy album I ever stole. Back in 84' or so when I was a youngster and a thief(hahaha) And believe me at 6 and some change, you get alot more bang for your buck! This must be a compilation, but I have never found the original albums most of these are on... I would reccomend this tape to anyone who likes to laugh, Warning if you have a ,medical condition that would not benefit from hysterical, knock down the wall,rolling in the floor laughter then you should avoid this album, otherwise This is a must buy for any comedy fan!
