Review

Some things thankfully never change. Back with his fourth record, Chris Rock proves once again why he unquestionably remains one of the funniest standup comedians of his generation. The formula for Never Scared remains the same: excerpts from his recent HBO standup special and other dates on his tour. However, while his delivery and execution of a joke remain the same, the subject matter is altered slightly to reflect a slightly more mature Rock. Issues of parenthood, defending a new generation of rap music, Michael Jackson, and relationships are tempered with skits that parody modern rap music. Last time the target was No Limit Records and Master P, and this time around it's Southern crooner Lil Jon and crunk music. It's not a classic Chris Rock record, but it captures Rock delivering consistently outstanding performances, hysterical sketches, and the best Jermaine Jackson jokes of all time. It's most definitely worth a listen. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide

Never Scared is the fourth comedy album by Chris Rock. It was recorded at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. between March 24 and 26, 2004 for an HBO comedy special,[1] and was released on DVD on August 31, 2004. The CD version, released on February 15, 2005, includes several recorded segments including a rap song performed with Lil' Jon called "Get Lower", and recurring themes of "Thug Radio" and "Tip Your Hat to Whitey". At the conclusion of the album, is a spoof movie trailer titled "Who Tha Fuck You Looking At"; the protagonists are made out to be black men, but the voice-over gives the cast as Steven Seagal, Chingy, Sidney Poitier and the sound of machine guns.

The DVD includes his first HBO special Big Ass Jokes. [2]

Never Scared won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.
