I get why people don't enjoy it. If youre coming for the comedy its minimal on laughs. But its definitely the right time to discuss these issues. Props to Dave for having the courage to put out something that actually opens peoples eyes not just make them laugh. I mean hes always done that but this ones pretty heavy on social commentary.
I admit, this was more of a rant than a well-executed stand-up special, but it was necessary! Besides, Dave gave the audience a verbal disclaimer at the onset. There are very few political satirists at the top of the black comedy food chain. I imagine, because it can be a career killer or maker in Hollywood, but David has already shown the world that his personal integrity and truth far outweigh the almighty dollar and what's considered "safe" material. He walked away from $50 million, and everyone thought he had lost his mind! Boy, did he prove them wrong.
The only other black stand-up comedians I can think of that push the subject matter envelope and dare to go where others won't are Chris Rock, DL Hughley, Wanda Sykes and Michael Che. These comedians make us all think about hard-truths, and not just hee and haw when we're done watching. Political satire is an art form all its own that not many comedians possess. I feel you Dave on every level!

Anyone who doesn't understand his point of view and what is going on in the United States 🇺🇸 right now, should not provide comment. It's a matter of a man seeing another man brutally treated-not for the first time, not for the 1000th time, but as common practice. From the emasculation and beating of slaves, to the group lynching to modern Commonplace violence - all because the person exists has a different skin??? How can you not be upset, how can you not understand, at a minimum how can you not empathize. Thanks Dave for telling the truth.
This isn't a comedy show, Dave is releasing some pure anger in this special. Even Dave claims it is not well rehearse, just an angry man talking. It is good if you know what you are getting into. This isn't "Killing me Softly," that is pure comedy art. This is just a man who is pissed off and needs to release some steam.
8/10 (DAVE has surpassed Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, he is now the GOAT)
