HILARIOUS!!! He's by far my favorite he's not getting' an extra star tho, because too much cursing. Not that it bothers me but he won't be getting anywhere with this. But I do love the way he uses them in the Punchlines. They're Essential. And Player can surely sing! Toared it Up!!! To all haters,I don't need to remind you'all about COLLATERAL, RAY, Miami VICE... Common men, one of the funniest sitcoms, certified & several times nominated best actor, and the singing with the Piano... Mastered to a high level!!! (I'm a vocal coach so I What I'm talking about) STOP THE HATE, APPRECIATE...... STOP THE HATE, APPRECIATE...... STOP THE HATE, APPRECIATE!!!

sh***t.... this last comment was almost as bad as the first. White people usually don't get this type of humor??? are you kidding, that's just as close minded as thinking Jamie Foxx is nothing but a racist homophobe. To return to the case at point, I consider his stand-up routine pure genius. Jamie Foxx shows himself as a true entertainer, I would even go as far as to call him an Artist...with a capital A. Underneath his funny-man exterior is an individual who is passionatley aware of his surroundings and able, much like a poet, to convey meaning with the simplest gesture. From start to finish this video left me in hysterics, from his dead on point impersonation of Shaq, his puffy and J Lo routine (take that take that take that), his unflinching candor when it comes to LL Cool J (he's a hardcore rapper but he's glossy...F*CK that!) to the riotous prince sketch. I could go on and on, truth is that this is Jamie Foxx at the top of his game. The more you watch it, the more meaning and humor you will find in it. Much like the satrical newspaper "the onion", when you take the content of Jamie's performance to the end of the line, you realize that it is grounded in the deepest understanding of the subject material. Being able to find and express the comedy within life itself is just as important, if not more important, than the artist who is able to find beauty and express it through art.

Foxx's admittedly funny bit on going to Africa is lifted almost verbatim from a Richard Pryor bit -- but Foxx's performance as a whole is strong here.The highlight, for me, is Foxx's assertion that Bill Clinton could have quelled Islamic fundamentalism by introducing Osama bin Laden to the American staples of whores, pot and booze.I was never a fan of Foxx's TV work, but this is worth a look.

First things first, this stand up act only applies to certain people, white people don't tend to get these kind of jokes/ humor. I'm not a big Jamie Foxx fan, but I found his stand up far more pleasing than his acting. The opening was a riot with the whole Whitney Houston, J-HO/ P.Diddy, and Michael Jackson bit. but I have to admit it did die down a little when he started to talk about Africa (it's like who cares about africa). But then he picked things up and closed it off well. One of the best parts was in the extra scenes (DVD) where he invited people to come up and sing with him. This wasn't the best stand up I've ever seen, but it was pretty good.
