3.0 out of 5 stars
Ruchard's always funny, but CD doesn't do him justice, January 5, 2000
This review is from: Supernigger (Audio CD)
I'm a huge Pryor fan so I can't say this CD was not worth the $. One of the many aspects of his work that has properly classified Pryor in the genius category is his brutal (sometimes frightening) honesty about experiences he has encountered and the not so attractive characters he knew as the "norm" growing up. Supernigger is a must-have for those who love to be reminded of our "unsung" heroes - the broke brotha from next door, the take no trash sista from the bar, the gold-flashing, cadillac driving pimp/macdaddy and other such members of the innercity black community especially prevalent in the 1960's. However, the editing of this CD does not do a good job in showcasing Richard's perfect comedic timing, amazing imagination and the connections between each individual bit. At times, it seems to be disjointed and choppy. Those who aren't Pryor students would probably think he is not as polished a performer as he truly was during most of these routines. I will recommend it though. Our stories being told by our father/uncle/brother/cousin/ ex-boyfriend. It is worth a listen. And more than a few hearty laughs. keturahk@yahoo.com

Decent, but far from his best..., October 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Supernigger (Audio CD)
I'd love to give this a higher rating, but the poor sound quality and choppy editing make this a poor choice for a first-time Pryor buyer. Even the best bits ("Fighting," "Fathers", "Cold Blood & Smoove") aren't enough to warrant buying this over his other albums. Get 'Craps' and 'Is it something I Said?' first, and if you love them, then give this a try.

Was God a junkie ?, October 4, 2002
This review is from: Supernigger (Audio CD)
From start of the first track to the last at almost 32 minutes of non stop laughter, Richard Pryor tells it like it is and the material is very dated, meaning that it is not very PC!! You have 14 tracks on this CD taken from different live shows. If you are not thin skinned , Then get this CD ! Enjoy!
