One great special, 22 April 2002

Being an Aboriginal-Canadian I can relate to a lot of the content in Chris Rock's special, or any other African-American's point of view. Also the other types of humour is just so funny.

I'll admit the language is a bit over used but isn't that what comedy usually uses? I mean, many comedians use language constantly in their act and no one usually cares, but nowadays guys like Chris Rock get a reputation for the language they use. I personally think words are just words and that it wouldn't hurt many people. I'm not saying you should let a four year old watch this, but it's okay for other people, a 12-year-old wouldn't learn any new terms from this.

All in all I liked his edge and his style of humour. Definetly one of the best stand-ups of this generation, probably the newest too.

**** out of *****

Not Rated but contains excessive profanity and sexual dialouge.
