This was a special, but not a comedy special. It was much more than that. He does have a thesis that serves as the backbone of the 27 or so minutes of material, but it's secondary to the content. Is it raw? Yeah. It's current, it's now. He makes reference to how his great-grandfather was born a slave...thats not thousands of years ago, that's now.

If you are expecting a gut-busting laugh-fest, you will be sorely disappointed. It's not perfect, but this needs to be watched, if only for perspective. To reiterate, its not a comedy special, it's history.

This isn't a comedy show, Dave is releasing some pure anger in this special. Even Dave claims it is not well rehearse, just an angry man talking. It is good if you know what you are getting into. This isn't "Killing me Softly," that is pure comedy art. This is just a man who is pissed off and needs to release some steam.

8/10 (DAVE has surpassed Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, he is now the GOAT)

You have been warned. If you like that sort of thing...Enjoy!

Dave isn't there to draw cheap laughs or say "the right thing." What he delivers is a half hour of passionate social commentary, a righteous anger filtered through his unique personable, conversational style. He gets through to people as only Dave Chappelle can. To critics, I say: don't ask what Chappelle is missing, ask what society is missing that people are hungry to hear this message from a comedian. Dave is right - it's because he doesn't deal in political spin, virtue signalling, clout-seeking, or wooden ideological agendas. We know he speaks from his soul.

I admit, this was more of a rant than a well-executed stand-up special, but it was necessary! Besides, Dave gave the audience a verbal disclaimer at the onset. There are very few political satirists at the top of the black comedy food chain. I imagine, because it can be a career killer or maker in Hollywood, but David has already shown the world that his personal integrity and truth far outweigh the almighty dollar and what's considered "safe" material. He walked away from $50 million, and everyone thought he had lost his mind! Boy, did he prove them wrong.

The only other black stand-up comedians I can think of that push the subject matter envelope and dare to go where others won't are Chris Rock, DL Hughley, Wanda Sykes and Michael Che. These comedians make us all think about hard-truths, and not just hee and haw when we're done watching. Political satire is an art form all its own that not many comedians possess. I feel you Dave on every level!
