Reviews Customer Reviews for Born Suspect      Funny If A Little Bit Crude      Rating:      Born Suspect is a hillarious comedy gig featuring Chris Rock at an Atlanta Night Club. Many of Chris' subject matter has aracey tone to it so if you don't like crude humor you may have some issues with this performance. Nonetheless, there are many funny routines ranging from the weaves to McDonalds to the Crack Mayor Barry and much more. Even the two rap tracks are pretty amusing and cool. Chris uses some foul language here and there but it does not approach Eddie Murphy's extreme X rated level. Chris uses his voice to emphasize different points particuarly with the Crack Mayor track. Overall this CD will appeal to most audiences black, white, or other ethnicity. Try to overlook the crude moments as there is some good humor here.     Customer Reviews for Born Suspect Cd      "THAT CAN'S GOT TO GO!"      Rating:      If you've heard this CD, you'll know. I'm part American Indain (mostly white though), so, I like that. He said (edited for content) "They exploit the Indains. He's got a tear in his eyes because of a can on the ground. Take my land, BUT THAT CAN'S GOT TO GO!!!!" And of course who can forget the rap song "your mother's got a big head." very funny. Editorial Reviews for Born Suspect Audio Cd      Amazon.com      A chunk of raw Rock, before he hit the big time with Saturday Night Live, HBO, and everything else. This CD was recorded at a 1991 gig in Atlanta, and while it lacks the polish and daring of his later hit Roll with the New, it has plenty of laughs to satisfy his fans. Born Suspect has some nice Rock riffs on his life back then: "Minimum wage means that we would pay you less if we could, but it's against the law!" and "Don't you hate it when your boss asks you 'How ya doin'?' You know exactly how I'm doin'--bad!" Plus, he makes fine fun of Washington, D.C., mayor Marion Barry: "Now you can't tell your kids, 'Don't smoke crack, or else you won't be nothin'.... 'Well, I could be mayor." Though on Born Suspect Rock is unpolished, a little self-indulgent, and not as razor-sharp as he later became, the disc is nevertheless worth a listen, if only to get a glimpse of this great talent. --Michael Gerber
