The comic's 1999 stand-up special premiered on HBO when he had the most to lose — and he pulled no punches with its provocative, no-holds-barred humor.
School shootings, presidential sex scandals, taxes, racism and the big piece of chicken. Despite all the ways that the world has changed since Chris Rock stepped onstage to deliver his third special, “Bigger & Blacker,” which premiered on HBO on July 10, 1999, all you have to do is watch it to realize how much the concerns of our country are still the same.
To this day, Rock’s jokes about the differences between men and women — from former President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton to the people in our own families — made 'Bigger & Blacker' an instant classic. Most Rock fans can quote the special by heart after 25 years. Some of the best lines : “We don’t need gun control, we need bullet control. I think all bullets should cost $5,000. ’Cause if a bullet cost $5,000 there’d be no more innocent bystanders.
