5.0 out of 5 stars Pryor's best LP and perhaps the best comedy LP ever, October 31, 2000

No comedian before, since, or ever, will accomplish what Richard Pryor managed to accomplish on this one album. Craps is African-American comedy in a nutshell, weaving themes of race (funny stuff about Jerry West and the Osmond Brothers), class, sex, religion, and black culture all at once. The After Hours routine remains the funniest comedy routine I have ever heard. You will laugh until you cry the first time you hear this LP, and then you'll laugh just as hard every time you hear it. There were other more acclaimed Pryor LP's such as "That Nigger's Crazy" or "Super Nigger," but this one is the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pryor in his embryonic stage, June 17, 2002

This review is from: Craps (Audio CD)

Much of this consists of early versions of routines that he would later make famous. The Preacher routine is the forerunner of the more concise (and funnier) "Our Text For Today" on "Is It Something I Said." Some of this may also be found on the video "Live And Smokin'" from around the same time (1971). The bits oabout "Oilwell," The Osmond Brothers/Jackson 5, that N---r's Crazy, etc. are all forerunners of what was to come.

This album is a true classic of a true comedic genius. As a young man this album put an indelible imprint on my sense of humor . I spent countless hour rolling in laughter listening to Richard. The greatest comedy album of all time.
