Presented in the style of its Grammy-winning predecessor,
Roll With the New,
Bigger and Blacker combines routines from
Chris Rock's accompanying HBO special with additional sketches and parodies (including the cover, a No Limit nudge).
Rock consolidates his position as one of the 90s' top comedians -- his material imbued with a socially perceptive edginess that complements his wry observations and street-smart persona. Special guest appearances are made by
Prince Paul,
Biz Markie,
Ice Cube,
Ol' Dirty Bastard, and comedienne extraordinaire Janeane Garofalo. ~ Steve Huey
