Martin Lawrence Live Talkin' Sh/t [Live]

Amazon.com
Martin Lawrence starts out this CD by saying that his boxing trainer used to tell people, "One thing about Martin--he won't get hit...and he won't hit anybody either." The same goes for his comedy. Lawrence opts to bob and weave, never really clobbering anything. This makes for a pleasant but hardly sidesplitting first effort. Still, Talkin' Shit has its moments, as when Lawrence mimics an outraged Joe Jackson: "That's bullshit.... I never hit those kids. I hit Michael maybe once, when he didn't give Tito the syrup." The only downside to the CD--besides Lawrence's reflexive profanity, which gets as grating as a stutter by the end--is that you might know a little more about the comic's weenie than you would like. Be warned. --Michael Gerber

Martin At His Peak (3 Stars).......2004-06-25

Honestly, I don't find any humor in 99.9% of the things that Martin Lawrence releases to the public (movies, sitcoms, albums, etc..). I really didn't think I would ever find anything done by him to be funny. But that was until I listened to this CD. I found this album to be truly hilarious. The topics range from fat people to Joe Jackson beating his kids to farting in bed, and it is all funny. He does recycle some old material from "You So Crazy" and that's why I rated it lower, but don't let that mislead you, this album is hilarious. If you haven't heard any of this material already, I garauntee you will split your sides laughing at this CD. I bought this album six years ago and I still listen to it and it's perfect for road trips. And though you can see a lot of Richard Pryor's influence here, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Martin as a Pryor copycat like the previous reviewer did. If that's the issue, the same can be said about ANY black comic that came out after him (yes, that includes Eddie Murphy). That's what trailblazers do, they blaze trails for others to follow. And on this CD, Martin was definitely on the right trail.

Major Laughs!!.......2002-05-08

This CD was one of Martin Lawrence's best ever! He has always been one of my favorite comics, however, I would much rather have seen this on Video or DVD just to see his reactions and facial expressions. If that were the case, I'm sure it would've been even more hilarious. Overall, I highly recommend this CD, especially to those who have the time to focus their listening entirely on it (i.e. while sitting in traffic like me). LOL!!!

Side Splitting!.......2000-09-21

For anyone accustomed to the relatively tame Martin seen on his T.V. series, be forewarned, this isn't the same Martin. He's better. From the intro, to the closing "Fartin'& Sh..in'" routine, he lets loose with a barrage of cuss-filled jokes. Best moment on the CD: when Martin is heckled by an audience member during a joke, and proceeds to lay waste to the guy with lip-smacking relish ('now, that WILL be on the album motherf...er'!) without missing a beat. I deducted one star because Mr. Lawrence recycles a lot of material from his film "You So Crazy", but his delivery and momentum are a lot better here. If you're offended by profanity or jokes involving bodily functions (his bit about 'sh-t crumbs' in bed is not for the squeamish, but is VERY FUNNY) then bypass this CD, but for fans of ribald, fearless comedy by a man in peak form, pick it up immediately. A Classic.

Let me wipe away the tears.......2000-06-23

hahahahahaha. This is the funniest CD that I have heard since the late great Robin Harris's BeBe's Kids album. For those who havent heard that CD, your missing out on 1 of the best comedy CD's ever created. As far as this Martin CD, it is a must have for any comedy lover. I laughed thru the whole thing and was cryin we Joe Jackson addressed Geraldo as Illado, HAHAHAHAHA. Also, when his boxer friend woke up from being knocked and talkin, bout. "I'd like a Ceaser salad, some twizzlers, all that sh!t" You will not be dissapointed with this cd.

Funny as hell.......1999-08-14

I was LMAO all through the CD. My favs are "Ilado" LMAO! "Michael Jackson" and the one when he went to Eddie Murphy's house.
