Chris Rock's second
one-man show recorded for
HBO and shown in 1997, earning him two
Emmy awards.
Chris muses on the legalisation of crack, the minimal chances of a black Vice President, O.J. Simpson and the cultural chasm between black people and niggers.
"There's too much food in America, man. We got so much food in America, we're allergic to food. Allergic to food! Hungry people ain't allergic to shit. Do you think anybody in Rwanda has got a fuckin' lactose intolerance?"
"Do you know what the good side to crack is? If you're up at the right hour, you can get a VCR for a dollar-fifty. You can furnish your whole house for ten ninety-five... Why? Because of crack."
Although extremely funny throughout, the
inevitable tried-and-tested-to-death return to the subject of how
men and
women differently view relationships makes for
a disappointing ending, in my opinion.
