With Bigger & Blacker, Chris Rock teams up with producer Prince Paul once again; the duo snagged a Grammy together for their work on 1997's brash Roll with the New. Bigger is a cutting-edge mishmash of studio skits, live recordings, and crazy musical numbers with guest shots from Ol' Dirty Bastard, Ice Cube, Biz Markie, Gerald Levert, and others. The bulk of the album is road-tested live material (mostly recorded at the Comedy Corner in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May 1999) that ranges from the difference between ghetto and suburban shopping malls to taxes, homophobia, insurance, and women. Sandwiched between the live bits are a send-up of N.W.A.'s "F**k tha Police" with Ice Cube; a ribald interpretation of "Brown Sugar" with Biz Markie; and "Me and ODB," a hilarious, pimped-out ghetto fairytale set to the funky beat of AWB's "Pick up the Pieces." Rock's inescapable appeal lies in his delivery--his manic energy teeters on the edge, reined in just enough so that it remains on this side of manic. Bigger & Blacker shows that Rock is equally at home whether flexing his standup material in front of a live audience or goofing in the studio. --Spence Abbott

 No Stopping Chris Rock On A Roll... November 7, 1999
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Again another funny album that skewers all the right people in the tenderest of places. School shootings, whiny white males, bad rappers, good booty, Hillary, Bill and Monica all get their just desserts from Rock. About the sound...it's good. It's not the audience bootleg quality that some reviewers would have you believe... It gives you that small comedy club feel with less of the bombastic audience response from his past album. The song, No Sex (in the champagne room) really cracks me up. A good investment if you want to laugh and forget all your troubles for just an hour or so. Lighten up...the truth tickles.

compared to Roll with the new this Disc is flat.he comes across like he is just Grand-Standing.No Sex was Kinda Catchy but the material Lacks any kind of Drive overall.I think Chris Rock is talented but he is a bit Overrated.
 Disappointing February 3, 2003

I was realy disappointed with this CD. More than half of the tracks are songs or skits that aren't even funny. I am a big Chris Rock fan and I've heard many of the jokes on other albums. Even die hard fans should stay away from this CD.
Chris Rock balances great skits, songs and stand-up February 25, 2000

Its no surprise that this album got the 2000 Grammy for best spoken comedy album. Chris Rock is funny! A near-perfect album, with a great balance of skits (Porno PSA, Nerd + Fly Girl), songs (Me and ODB, No Sex), stand-up (Crazy White Kids, Black Mall) and, as always, Dirty (ODB Words of Wisdom, 1, 2, 3). Chris is always showing us something new, fresh and original, always done Rock-style. Whether whining, bitching or whining again, this brother knows what hes talking about, and at the same time, defys the awful stereotype that rich black men are braggers, scrubs and not the same off stage. Keep it up, Chris, and I'll give my yearly $ to you.
