Some good jokes, but also a lot of group think and not a very authentic comedian imo. I liked the start, then he get into his usual black vs white group thinking, which i find tedious and to me it seems as if he hasn't trancended race at all, he's still very identified with that ... He is often repeating his sentences and thereby seems like a drama queen trying to hype things up. Some jokes in the special were really quite good, but in general i think he's lightyears behind other comedians, who are also much more authentic than him. He seems to want to be as courageous and deep as Chappelle, but he is just not ... I think the only thing he got going for himself is his fame and he knows how to ride that wave. From his other specials i think it was a step up though, he was more edgy, which i like ...
