Bigger & Blacker [PA] by Chris Rock (CD - 07/13/1999)
"Bigger & Blacker [PA]" (07/13/1999) Comedy Rock, Chris, Dreamworks SKGPersonnel includes: Chris Rock (spoken vocals); Don Newkirk (vocals, piano); Gerald Levert (vocals); Bimos (rap vocals); Jeremy Vicari (guitar); Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ali LeRoi, Wanda Sykes, Prince Paul, Kaz Silver, Ice Cube, Horatio Sanz, Kali Londono, Kate Wright, Biz Markie, Nneka Morton. BIGGER & BLACKER won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album. Photographers: Leslie Henderson; Alison Dyer. Using a play on words to reference LL Cool J's BIGGER & DEFFER, Chris Rock reteams with production genius Prince Paul for his third comedy album. Like its predecessor, BIGGER combines live excerpts from Rock's stand-up, hilarious song parodies, and clever sketch comedy not unlike what shows up on his HBO series. Although some of the live bits also appear in Rock's one-hour stand-up video special of the same name, there's no denying his skill at holding up a streetwise mirror to such topics ranging from Columbine ("Crazy White Kids") to the battle of the sexes ("Two Women"). When Rock isn't riffing to a crowd, he's making studio magic with Prince Paul and a bunch of running buddies including Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ice Cube, Gerald Levert, and Biz Markie. Among the highlights are brilliant parodies of "Brown Sugar" ("Snow Flake") and Baz Luhrman's "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" ("No Sex"). Being as controversial as his comedic forefather Richard Pryor, Rock's language is on the salty side. But once you hear the Dickie Goodman "Mr. Jaws"-influenced "Monica Interview," in which rap samples are used in response to Rock's interviewer persona, the profanity becomes secondary.

Never Scared [PA] by Chris Rock (CD - 02/15/2005)
"Never Scared [PA]" (02/15/2005) Comedy Rock, Chris, Geffen Records (USA)This release includes a bonus DVD. Personnel: Chris Rock (spoken vocals); Lil Jon (rap vocals); Don Newkirk, Mario Joyner, James Hannah, Eric Edwards, Mark Grandfield (spoken vocals); Shae Fiol (background vocals). Some things thankfully never change. Back with his fourth record, Chris Rock proves once again why he unquestionably remains one of the funniest standup comedians of his generation. The formula for Never Scared remains the same: excerpts from his recent HBO standup special and other dates on his tour. However, while his delivery and execution of a joke remain the same, the subject matter is altered slightly to reflect a slightly more mature Rock. Issues of parenthood, defending a new generation of rap music, Michael Jackson, and relationships are tempered with skits that parody modern rap music. Last time the target was No Limit Records and Master P, and this time around it's Southern crooner Lil Jon and crunk music. It's not a classic Chris Rock record, but it captures Rock delivering consistently outstanding performances, hysterical sketches, and the best Jermaine Jackson jokes of all time. It's most definitely worth a listen. ~ Rob Theakston

Roll with the New by Chris Rock (CD - 04/08/1997)
"Roll with the New" (04/08/1997) Comedy Rock, Chris, Dreamworks SKGPersonnel: Cris Rock; Vernon Reid (guitar); Gary Schreiner (organ); Mario Joyner, Shari Headley, Juicy Fruit Jenkins, Mo-Like, Freedom Williams, Lance Crouther, Tracy Morgan, Charo Elektra, Jim Bruer, Mary Wong, Judy Gold, Oran "Juice" Jones, That Nigga Neron. Producers include: Prince Paul, Don Newkirk. Engineers include: Kenny Oritz, Wess Naprstek, Scott Harding. Recorded at Quad Studios, New York, New York in October and November 1996; GLC Studios, New York, New York in December 1996; and live at The Tacoma Theatre, Washington, D.C. in May 1996. ROLL WITH THE NEW won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album. In the time-honored tradition of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, Chris Rock's ROLL WITH THE NEW uses spicy language to address topics of race, relationships and black culture. Taken from a live performance recorded at Washington D.C.'s Takoma Theater in May 1996 and used for the HBO special "Bring The Pain," Rock's routines are interspersed with newly recorded sketches. De La Soul producer Prince Paul was at the helm for these and his influence stands out in "Press Conference," a bit in which O.J. Simpson and Ike Turner answer questions with samples from classic rap songs a la Dickie Goodman's 1975 hit "Mr. Jaws." Rock's rapier wit and hilarious impressions of various characters are aided by assorted pranksters including Mario Joyner, Dave Chappelle and Judy Gold. Equally funny are the musical parodies featuring such musicians as Oran "Juice" Jones, Vernon Reid and Freedom Williams.

Born Suspect by Chris Rock (Cassette - 07/08/1997)
"Born Suspect" (07/08/1997) Comedy Rock, Chris, Atlantic (USA)Solo performer: Chris Rock (vocals). Producers: Kirth "The One" Atkins, Angel "Speed" Colon, Jam Master Jay, Chris Rock. Engineers include: Kooster McAllister, Lou Pageant, Kirk Yano. Recorded at Unique Recording Studio, the Comic Strip, Chung King House of Metal and Platinum Island, New York, New York, and the Comedy Act Theatre, Atlanta, Georgia. By the time Born Suspect came out, Chris Rock was practically a household name thanks to Saturday Night Live and a string of critically praised stand-up stints across the country. This album takes some of Rock's earliest material and only reveals a slight glimpse of things to come. All of the obvious attacks that have become so familiar in Rock's repetoire are evident here, but it serves as an interesting document of how evolved not only Rock became with his comedic delivery but also with his signature charasmatic delivery on stage. ~ Rob Theakston
