Funny, funny, funny.......2007-06-27

If you love comedy you need this CD. Rodney Carrington is one of the funniest comedians today. I also purchased his DVD "Rodney Carrington: Live at the Majestic". This DVD is his "King of the Mountain" album but the fact that you actually see him acting out the show makes it that much funnier. My favorite part is the "Chicken Song". If you get the DVD (which I highly recommend) it will keep you laughing long after you see it. Trust me you will want to watch it over and over again......... I know I did.

Another Good Collection.......2007-06-19

This is another entertaining collection of countrified humor from a man who mostly has one thing on his mind; that is the thing that most men have on their minds. He is self deprecating and usually funny. That's enough for me.

Rodney is also known for his songs. These are usually scattered throughout his albums but in this one, they are all concentrated at the end. First come the live performances and then there are some repeats using studio recordings.

Its not a bad collection

Absolutely hilarious!!! .......2007-06-11

This is one of the funniest CD's and/or albums I have ever listened to. I heard these live on tour but, I still laugh like crazy. Also, Angel Friend is a very touching tribute to his good friend and fellow comedian Barry Martin. The song actually brought me through a very bad time and gave me hope when I lost my best friend.

Funniest Man In Comedy!.......2007-06-05

I've watched this dvd 5 times already and could watch it 10 more...you will laugh the whole time its on!

Rodney almost does it again........2007-05-21

This was really funny, but I don't think it was quite as funny as his earlier stuff.

Album Description

This comic has a seemingly endless supply of endearingly off-kilter one liners and an over-active imagination. He's one of the most unique voices in comedy today and has written for/performed on Conan O'Brien, Letterman, and Carson Daly. He's the latest correspondent on The Daily Show with his critiques on pop culture. In 2003, he taped his first stand-up special, "Comedy Central Presents Demetri Martin" which remains one of the highest rated half hours on the network. This release puts all his best material on one CD. The DVD compiles the Comedy Central Presents and a bunch of other secret stuff.

Demetri is a top-notch comic.......2007-07-07

What a breath of fresh air. Demetri is zany, intelligent and highly observant of the world the rest of us take for granted. Topic after topic will find you nodding in agreement as you laugh yourself silly.

Would have been 5 stars but I don't like the songs........2007-05-22

Demetri Martin is a comedic genius. That being said, this cd had some wasted space at the end where three songs tie up time that could have been spent telling more hilarious jokes. His delivery and style are very similar to that of Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg but with quite a bit more energy. Plus, he is likes to set his jokes to weird music. For some reason it works. Not only that, but on one track he has Will Forte of SNL fame come out and accompany him for a set of jokes. Will just sings random notes and tones between jokes and for some reason it is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. Check it out for that track alone!

Rip off of Hedberg.......2007-05-14

Material, delivery, style - all ripped from Mitch Hedberg. I could list a joke-by-joke comparison but I won't. Is this CD funny? For the most part - yes. Would I recommend this CD if I wasn't a huge fan of Hedberg's work? Yeah. I feel guilty laughing at this album because it is such a clone piece.

Enjoy Martin's work on the Daily Show. Root for his movie deals and applaud his acting. The comedic value of this album belongs to Mitch Hedberg and its a shame that more people don't see through this CD.

If you like...........2007-05-10

Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg then you will love this guy. Very clever, witty humor and at times a bit random. I've played this one into the ground and I laugh out loud every time. It never stops being funny. The "Personal Information Waltz" gets me everytime. Will Forte's guest appearance is side-splittingly hilarious. Skip the intro and "The Grapes Song" and this album is a perfect listen. Great jokes you'll be repeating around the water cooler at work, so to speak.

"I used to compete in sports a lot... but then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I'm good at everything."

Demetri Rocks.......2007-05-10

Demetri Martin is halarious. If you have seen him on SNL or Comedy Central and liked him, you should definitely buy his CD. It also comes with a bonus DVD that includes his first major Comedy Central appearance along with a few treats for his fans. "These Are Jokes" never gets old--I still listen to my CD on long trips or whenever I am down. I hope he comes out with a new CD soon; this guy is good.

All hail the return of novelty music's reigning king! Straight Outta Lynwood easily bests 2003's Poodle Hat and shows that Yankovic does know what he does best. Part of the secret to Weird Al's success is that he's never been very weird at all, and very rarely are his satires in any way "biting"--or even satires, really. The 11-minute parody of R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" is funny at least for the first listen, but it's hard to ridicule something so largely ridiculous in the first place (plus Jimmy Kimmel totally got the jump on him). The best thing Mr. Yankovic has always done is to take some decent pop tune, change a word or phrase, invent an entirely new premise for the tune, and make an inspired video to go along with it. He does that several times here; Green Day's "American Idiot" becomes the hockey-obsessed "Canadian Idiot," and "White & Nerdy" is a truly inspired take on Chamillionaire's "Ridin'." That song (and video, included here on the dual-disc CD/DVD) is breakneck-paced and so funny it's a disservice to quote from it at all. "Polkarama!" is a return to W.A.'s novelty roots: a handful of mildly dated hit songs (50 Cent to Modest Mouse!) delivered in straight-ahead, sped-up polka style. It's toe-tapping and sweet. Hopefully we'll not have to wait three years for another Weird Al record. --Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

I almost died laughing........2007-06-28

I listened to this album for the first time tonight. Eleven years ago tonight, a friend got us tickets to a Weird Al concert. While driving home from the concert, we had a car accident and he died. After the first verse of "I'll Sue Ya," I seriously wondered if I might die laughing and join him!

I'll go through track by track:
White and Nerdy: Funny, I've heard this before so it didn't seem as new, but as a computer programmer I got a lot of good laughs. And I do hand-code HTML4!
Pancreas: Another novelty artist named Mindless Drug Hoover released a song with the same name and a similar concept. I wondered if by some weird hand of Eris, Weird Al had done the same song, but nope! He did something even more insane, even tying in things like gravity.
Canadian Idiot: I don't listen to much pop music, so haven't heard the originals, but another fun song making fun of racism. Everyone bags on Canadians anyway. One note: Weird Al even parodies the war.
I'll Sue Ya: Okay, here we go, definitely a favorite song. As said, after the first verse I wondered if I would join my friend, and if I could even handle a second verse! I did leave Earthlink, because I became dissatisfied with their tech support, so that struck a chord. Everyone has had issues with Verizon. And don't even mention New Jersey! I see this listed as an original song, but it sounds like a song done in the style of Rage against the Machine. Perfect! I really enjoy it when he doesn't parody a song per se, but parodies a group or style. This has always brought out his creativity. Sadly, some of the ridiculous things he yells out have actually happened (a guy sued someone for breaking his ankle while robbing his place.) I love this song!
Polkarama: Another classic Polka tune. As said I don't listen to much popular music, so for me these Polka songs provide a good insulated way to absorb the dirtier music of this time. I'll stick with these versions!
Virus Alert: Another great computer song! The main part would make a great sound alert. It has one of those catchy melodies and concepts that will just stay in your head for days, especially the next time your antivirus software alerts you with a new update! Virus Alert! (You could, of course, just use Linux, but we'll save that for another rant.)
Confession Part III: I don't know if he parodied a song here, or simply parodied the style of the current music, but either way he did a hilarious job. Every guy will love the last spoken line of the song.
Weasel Stomping Day: A little silly song, not much to say, but have fun!
Close but No Cigar: Okay, now I have a confession to make. I downloaded this album on bittorrent, and this song didn't play, so I did not hear it. I feel doubly glad I bought the CD.
Do I Creep You Out: Okay, I've heard the original, but can't put my finger on it. In a silly way, I consider this a song from every guy to every girl!
Trapped in the Drive Thru: I've heard the original referenced, and saw the South Park episode, an can imagine the original. This song treks in at around eleven minutes, and it does sort of go on, fut for me, this just added to the theme of the song, a tedius hunger-driven trip to the drive thru.
Don't Download this Song: A great capper for the album. Doubly funny since my downloaded copy missed a track, as if to underscore the point. It reminds me of the South Park episode which covered this theme. Buy my CD so I can afford a diamond-studded swimming pool. Classic!

In summary, I love this album, and consider it one of his best. I know my friend would have loved it too! Through various events, I know Weird Al as a very compassionate human being, and in his own way, a visionary.

It will have you ROTFLOL........2007-06-24

I've been a fan of "Weird Al" Yankovic for 24 years now. After all these years, he's still as funny as ever (or perhaps my sense of humor hasn't matured since I was a teenager). If you are a fan of Al, you pretty much know what you're going to get on an album; about an equal number of parodies and original songs, plus a polka medley of recent hits. Hey, it's a proven formula, so why mess with it? This is a very funny album. "White & Nerdy" is probably the funniest song, but all of them are at least somewhat funny. Go and buy the CD like you know that you should.

"Weird Al" comes "Straight Outta Lynwood" and right onto the Billboard charts.......2007-06-10

I picked up this CD because "Weird Al" Yankovic is coming to town and I have tickets to go with my daughters (do not tell them, but we have seats in the front row, just left of center so I can hear with my one good ear). When I was a kid most of the records I had were Smothers Brothers records, I had a teacher who played Spike Jones songs for us, my father taped several Allan Sherman albums for us, and in college I discovered Dr. Demento and Tom Lehrer (not necessarily in that order). So I am a big fan of musical parodies and there can be no doubt that Yankovic is the Shakespeare of that peculiar little niche of the music business. I consider "The Saga Begins" to be his magnum opus and in looking at his body of work what is impressive is not only his longevity but the way his work has improved from those early days when it was just him on accordion and Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz banging on the accordion case.

It turns out that "Straight Outta Lynwood" is Yankovic's most successful album of all time and his most successful single with "White & Nerdy" making it all the way to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Eat It" was his previous top single which made it to #12). I still think "Running With Scissors" is his best album, but I am definitely heartened to know Yankovic is going strong. With albums coming out every three or four years he appears to have found his stride. There is the obligatory polka medley and several new style parodies, with "Pancreas" (Brian Wilson), "I'll Sue Ya" (Rage Against the Machine), "Virus Alert" (Sparks), "Close But No Cigar" (Cake), and "Don't Download This Song" (fundraiser songs). The surprise is that I liked the style parodies more than I did the parodies of particular songs, which is obviously turning my "Weird Al" universe upside down.

My only problem with this album is clearly my personal problem because with the exception of "Canadian Idiot" I had to look at the liner notes to find out which songs were parodies and which were originals. The fact that I had not heard (or perhaps only not remembered) "White & Nerdy" is a parody of "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire (featuring Krayzie Bone) was received with jaw-dropping astonishment by my daughters. I am down to recognizing only three songs out of 14 in the album's pokla medley, "Polkarama!" ("Let's Get it Started," "Don't Cha," and "Pon de Replay"). I had forgotten that Taylor Hicks had done "Do I Make You Proud," but I do not think I am alone in that regard. But I had no idea "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" is based on a R. Kelly song, although I did recognize Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" when it popped up.

Flip over the CD and you get to the DVD, which has animated videos for all of the original songs, namely: "Don't Download This Song," "I'll Sue Ya," "Virus Alert," "Close But No Cigar," "Pancreas" and "Weasel Stomping Day." The videos for "White & Nerdy," "Do I Creep Your Out," "Canadian Idiot," and "Trapped in the Drive-Thru" are all for parodies and for some reason that justified exclusion (insert pout here). The videos are followed by a short documentary that simply shows Yankovic and his band recording some of the songs and paying testament to his attention to detail. You can also listen to the entire album with the lyrics as subtitles, each song accompanied by a photograph of Yankovic from infancy to young adulthood (his parents liked the triple image option). Finally, you can do the karaoke function and get the music and the lyrics so you can sing the songs yourself. Consequently, there are enough extras here to justify rounding up on the disc overall.

Concert Update: So last night "Weird Al" came to town and as I suspected they set up two rows in the orchestra pit for winners of radio contests for tickets (sigh). But during one of the songs (that does not appear on any of the albums) he came down in the audience. Al was singing to the women in the audience but when he was walking in front of it was all dads and kids, so he sang to my oldest daughter (she just got accepted into the Peace Corp to go do what she wants to do where she wants to do it so she is having a good week). We also picked up over a thousand dollars in "Weird Al" money. For the record, he does complete versions of five songs from this album (1, 3, 4, 5, 9), excerpts from three more (7, 10, 11), and one music video (8).

Loved it!!.......2007-05-29

I'll be the first to admit that some of these songs DID NOT catch on with me right away!! In fact at first I thought this would be the first Weird Al Album I bought that I would not enjoy very much.... I WAS WRONG!!! After a few listens these songs really grew on me!!
I loved "White and Nerdy" straight away (I am White and Nerdy accorging to my wife) and the song nails a few asects of the nerd culture that I perssonally have seen or experienced so it was quite a treat!
"Pancreas" is an AWESOME tribute to Brian Wilson and his style of music (if you are too young to know who Mr. Wilson is....listen to the beach boys and check out some of his own albums).
I also thought "Canadian Idiot" was great!! Being a Floridian and knowing a bunch of seasonal Canadians it was rather funny and hit home!!
Close But No Cigar was an excellent song that was an abvious style parody of CAKE. Loved the words to the song and the little flaws that made him break up with each gorgeous woman!!
I could list reasons for liking all the songs but I don't want to take up too much space!! Let me just say that you will love this album as long as you give it a chance!!
Don't forget to visit Weird Al's website and get the free parody "You're Pitiful" (parody of "You're Beautiful") which was originally going to be on the album but was tanked at the last minute do to record company lawyers.

One more thing. This album is a dual disc. One side plays as a DVD the other as a CD. This disc MAY NOT play in certain drives or DC players so just be careful!!
The videos were hilarious though!!

"That's not why I bought this album".......2007-05-26

I'm here to tell ya, there are a lot very good reasons to buy this album. But most of them are not why I bought this album.

Sure Al's parodies are all great fun, but that's not why I bought this album. Sure this whole album is fraught with hilarity, but that's not why a bought this album. I didn't even buy this album because of all the cool video's included. IT'S THE MUSIC, MAN. That's why I bought this album. Can this Al guy sing or what - even if he is a little weird. (Although, I'm not too sure about the weird part, but that's what Al keeps telling everyone so I'll go along with it.)

Case in point; So there I was, sitting in my mini van at a red light, jamming to the music, not really paying any attention to the lyrics, just enjoying the sounds the band and singers were putting out. With my head bobbin' to the beat and hands drumming on the steering wheel, I noticed an elderly lady in the car next to me looking my way. She seemed to have an air of disdain about her at seeing a gentleman of my years acting like some dang fool kid. That very moment is when my ears picked up on the words "I blew my nose and wiped it on your cat". The lyric caught me totally off guard and I spontaneously burst into laughter. Seeing that, the lady snapped her head forward, stomped on the accelerator and speed through the red light trying to get away from that dang fool (being myself) as fast as she could.

Well, I guess that probably isn't why you should by this album either, but I can tell ya... This double CD sure is a lot of fun and you will absolutely enjoy the music.

Very Funny.......2007-07-26

This CD is very well done, very funny and yet clean. First heard it in my car and just about had to pull over because I laughing so hard. One of the best comedy CD I have heard in a long time.

Let's go to the Buffet with John.......2007-05-08

John Pinette's comedy is great ! The tape has more material than the CD (the tape is not for listeners under 16). I can't wait for John Pinette to put out a new one.

Not that funny..........2007-03-31

Look, I dig stand up, and I dig fat jokes, but this guy isn't that great.

I got a friend who loves John Pinette, but I can't see it.

He tells jokes about how fat he is, how he likes to eat, how he doesn't like to move. Its the same over and over and over again. Its dull and it's too easy. They're not even jokes, really, just comments on how fat he is.

Also a fair part of his act consists of "asian people talk with accents and thats funny" which I find cheap. Stereotypes shouldn't be jokes, and even when they are, they shouldn't be THE joke. John says something with broken english and the audience laughs really hard. Why? Why is that funny, here in the 20th century?

Maybe I just don't "get" his humor, but I don't think this guy is any good. I perfer comedians who tell jokes.

On the plus side, this guy is clean, which is rare these days. But there are better clean comedians around. Try getting a Brian Regan album or an Emo Philips album. Jerry Seinfelds album is good too. Try those guys because they're clean and legitimately funny.

TEARFULLY FUNNY.......2007-03-11

I have listened to this CD continuously. My husband and I laugh at him like we have just listened to it for the first time. It never gets old I can't wait for anything new he puts out, he is so funny.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-11

This guy is too funny!! We had heard him on satellite radio a few years back and were laughing so hard we couldn't drive, The we saw him on Comedy Central AND had to get this particular CD and glad that we did.

Thought it would be funnier........2007-07-19

After seeing Dane Cook's Vicious Circle, and 312 reviews averaging 5 starts here on Amazon, I expected this CD/DVD to be funnier. Dane is funny, and some parts were stomach hurting funny, but all in all, I expected more. After listening to the CD, I watched the unedited Comedy Central Special on the DVD and was disappointed that most of the material was the same as on the CD.

Dane Cook is a Legend.......2007-07-04

Dane Cook is the best young comedian in the World today. I have seen him Live in Dublin, where he blew Denis Learys reputation to shreds and have listened to his Cd's many times. Just buy them both, he delivers solid comedy performances, no more promotion required, this guy is the real deal.

I'm really puzzled by the volume of 5-star reviews here..........2007-07-03

I generally find myself agreeing with the reviewing majority on comedy albums, but I just don't get the over-the-top adulation of Dane Cook--at least as evidenced by this album. I listened to this album again, to make sure my initial reaction wasn't a fluke, and I found the material and delivery to be very average. Upon reflection, the problem with this album is that the delivery doesn't match the material. Much of his comedy consists of Seinfled-like observations, yet his delivery is usually manic and profanity-laden, providing way too much emphasis on a very small bit of humor.

Some of the bits are funny--I particularly liked the segment on the Satanic voice emanating from the old Speak 'n Spell--but I found him to spend much of his time ranting and swearing over things that weren't all that creative or funny. Sorry to go against the pack on this one, but for the life of me I can't understand why 90% of the reviewers could give this album five stars. (For whatever it's worth, comics I do like include early George Carlin, Robin Williams, Mitch Hedberg, Woody Allen, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby and the Sklar Brothers.)

AN EXCELLENT SET ! THE DVD HAS SOME OF HIS BEST STUFF!.......2007-06-24

I am a long time fan of Dane Cook. Before he became so popular,he was a little known comic with a fresh quirkyness about him. He is no Carlin or Pryor,but the guy is funny in a goofy kind of way! This CD/DVD combo is a great deal for some very funny sets.

Dane Fan.......2007-04-12

Its typical Dane but then again whats typical about him. I pop this cd in at work and just laugh the entire day. He has some real intersting outlooks on situations but for the most part all of us have thought the same way one time or another. I love it and him!

Humor for the whole family.......2007-07-26

Having come of age in the 80s, I still list Sam Kinison as my favorite comedian. Even so, now with a family of my own I welcome comedy that I don't have to hide from my daughters or cringe when they overhear. Brian Regan is just such a comedian. If you love comedy based on language (as opposed to stories, observations, etc.) then this album is also for you. And, as a bonus, your children can listen to it along with you, with the strongest word used on the CD being "hell."

Brian Regan Live.......2007-07-24

This is one funny man. If you should catch him live or tv special he is even better, because his facial expressions are the best with his jokes. To listen to the cd well you will have to find a bathroom it is just to funny.

Great clean comedy--Very funny.......2007-07-24

Not alot of clean stand up comedians out there but Brian Regan is clean and extremely funny. My family and I were laughing so hard we were crying. Highly recommend this CD to anyone that loves humor and finding humor in life. Regan does a great job of both.

You Don't Need To Think About It, Just Buy This CD.......2007-07-15

This is one of the most AWESOME comedy CDs EVER. I put it in and I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. Another reason it's great is it's completely clean, so anyone can listen to it. It is TOTALLY worth the money, so just buy it. You won't be sorry.

If You Like This CD: Buy Brian Regan's comedy special on DVD, Brian Regan: Standing Up

Great family-safe comedy.......2007-05-31

It is difficult to find comedy that can be played with the kids in the room/car that is both funny and understood by all in listening range. I highly recommend this artist.

I literally laughed til I cried.......2007-07-31

Mitch has the best one-liners, and all throughout my days, they pop into my head and put a smile on my face.

Mitch Hedberg.......2007-07-29

Mitch Hedberg is one of my all time favorite comedians....I love his voice and how he says things. This DVD was well worth the purchase to me.

One of the best!.......2007-07-27

Such a shame Mitch is no longer with us. He is truly one of the funniest comedians. He is funny, smart, clever and I have shared this CD with all of my fiends. It's good for what ails ya.

Decent jokes, bad delivery.......2007-06-25

About half of the jokes on the CD were amusing, but the whole time I was listening to it I kept thinking that this could be really funny stuff in the hands of someone like Dave Attell. I think Hedberg was probably a good writer, but not a very good comedian.

He alluded to the fact that he was making a CD of the performance. It was very annoying when he played to the live audience, doing visual things and telling them that, ha-ha, the people listening on CD won't get this.

I cried when Mitch Hedberg died........2007-05-22

He was my absolute most favorite comic and I couldn't help it. I have never had anyone close to me die and I had seen Mitch in concert twice so really he is the closest person to me who has died. That is sad for me I know. Anyhow, this cd is awesome! Unlike his first cd, which is also great, this one has a little bit of a more uptempo delivery. He sounds like he kicked the drugs for a little while before he recorded this. With all the jokes being so short there are many many jokes on this disc. Not only that, but Mitch was the best when a joke bombed. If you listen to this you will find that out. I think he purposely put bombs in his act just for that very reason. I miss you Mitch. Hope you'll be telling me jokes in Heaven.

Customer Reviews:

Funny stuff!!!.......2007-05-11

Dane Cook is by far one of the funniest story-telling comics around. His style is original. A wild imagination combined with an ability to relate with thoughts most people keep to themselves. My girlfriend and I bought this CD while driving through Upstate NY, people where staring at us we were laughing so much. Highly recommended!

Totally overrated.......2007-04-02

I don't know what people see in dane cook, he's just not funny. Most of his jokes are something that a 4 yr old could come up with or they just don't make any sense at all. I'm sure dane might be a nice guy, but he sucks as a comedian.

A Decent Comedy Album.......2007-04-01

I've been listening to Dane Cook from back in the days when you could download music illegally on Napster! I've watched this guy rise through the ranks and I must say that he has fallen off a little. I much prefer his older material to the jokes on this CD, but perhaps I'm being a bit to critical. This CD does have its memorable jokes and its forgettable ones. Sometimes it seemed like there was filler material on here. Those who have listened to Dane Cook are extremely polarized, they either love his delivery or hate it. I happen to like it so i think this CD is still very good. In my opinion, the comedian with the best delivery is Daniel Tosh. His non-sequeters and random remarks are extremely hilarious.

Commercial Garbage.......2007-03-16

Dane Cook is a master at self promotion. This explains why his core audience is 12-25 year olds, a group known for being susceptible to marketing, especially when the marketing is done by a wildly gyrating, occasionally amusing stand up comic who 'speaks their language'. I'm truly astounded at all the people on Amazon and elsewhere who call Dane Cook "Brilliant" or "Original". The man has blatantly stolen from half a dozen comics over the years, a charge he repeatedly has denied. I can understand liking him if you're into myspace and don't really care about messy stuff like current events or politics, or dont really like "the dead guy" (bill hicks) or "the old guy" (george carlin) but this is low, low comedic fare for anyone who has heard GOOD comedy.

SOOOO FUNNY!!!.......2007-03-08

I loved this CD/DVD combo. Dane Cook is absolutely hysterical. He will have you rolling around laughing. This is defiantly a great gift for the comedy lover in the family. SU-FI!!!!!!!!!!

With its dedication to Amadou Diallo and its poems covering subjects like reparations, slavery, and Mary J. Blige, Sekou Sundiata sets out to make "poems that are African American as bean pies and be-attitudes."

There's a righteous anger that permeates this disc, but its expression comes off more as a burning coal than a blowtorch--that is, instead of using the staccato rhythms and the relatively harsh vocals of the rappers, Sundiata's approach is more down-tempo, almost elegiac, and his voice is mellifluous, intimate, and warm. Not a huge voice like, say, James Earl Jones; rather, he uses a slow, seductive, clearly enunciated delivery to draw you into his words.

His interest is to write popular verse that functions both as dance music and serious spoken poetry. To him, it's not an either/or, you can do both-you can "dance and be still." While most people won't be dancing to this disc, the music-mostly keyboards, bass, and drum-is coolly competent, and his efforts to make poetry accessible are more than commendable. --Wally Shoup

Customer Reviews:

A master poet.......2007-07-27

With Sekou Sundiata's recent death, America lost perhaps one of our greatest living poets, in his fifties and still in his prime. While some traditionalists rejected his work, or attempted to pigeonhole it with the description "spoken word poetry" -- Sundiata preferred, "ritual poet" -- Sundiata demonstrated that poetry was not only alive but relevant. Sundiata's work covered a range of topics, often cleverly combining the political with the social and even the romantic.

An often heard objection to Sundiata's work was his combination of music with poetry. As with any multi-media art, this effort contains considerable risks. However, Sundiata's work does not do this out of whole cloth but draws on a rich tradition of both African and African American culture and works exquisitely.

Anyone with a love of language should give a listen to this great genius, snuffed out too early. He will be missed.

Powerful poetry.......2003-04-14

This cd has quite an unusual sound to it. Sundiata recites poetry while music --
mostly hip-hop, blues and funk (and a didjeridoo in track 9!) -- plays in the background.
Although a lot of the rhythms are funky, this is definitely not a record to dance or
to sit back and relax to-- the imagery is complicated and actually requires intellectual
concentration. The lyrics are often highly political and provocative, which I find
refreshing, especially since Sundiata is an accomplished poet, who can play with
words to create original and powerful images.

Sundiata tells it like it is.......2001-07-17

Sekou Sundiata describes his work as "rhythm and news"; taking the beats of the street and using them as a backdrop for his poetry. Captivating and engaging songs tell the story of the African American people...

Sundiata's music echoes these sentiments. Whether a poem about slavery of the past or street life of the present, each one holds many striking truths. His style of layering spoken word over R&B and jazz with smooth vocals makes his work appealing accross many age groups and backgrounds. Fans of R&B, jazz, soul, folk rock, and poetry alike will embrace Sudiata's message; we can't live our lives today without remembering how we got here.

Perfect Blend.......2001-06-30

I've read the negative reviews of Sundiata's albums, and I can understand how his art is not for everybody. Nevertheless, if you are looking for something more from today's fairly shallow popular musical scene, the work of Sekou Sundiata is an excellent place to turn. His poetry blends perfectly with the music and draws the listener into the tribal rythm of his voice and the pulsing funk/blues accompaniment. I recently saw Sundiata open at an Ani Difranco show and his live performance is equally strong. An artist in all respects, Sundiata brings his message to the masses in a form that both pleases and inspires. For those who don't readily associate with poetry, the accompaniment offers an alternative in understanding the pieces on this album. I would highly recommend the work, but would suggest that you listen to some other more (but not quite) mainstream artists before attempting this sonic journey into the heart of Black America.

Another unlistenable entry.......2000-07-09

Frought with the same kinds of musical mistakes as his first record. Combining poetry with music is always tricky business. A lot of people think it looks awkward, and more times than not, a lot of poets don't nail down the right music for their messgae. Sundiata continually hits us with stock folk/blues music that doesn't seem to go anywhere on its own, and the poetry suffers for it.
