I enjoyed most of this comedy special, D.L. Hughley has a playful and fun way to do stand-up, and I laughed a lot. Some curveballs,meaning it wasn't everything that was funny to me, but it was overall a very good show, and I recommend it :)

Mildly amusing

The show is mildly amusing. Meaning there were some smiles, but I could not get why the people were laughing. Or was it canned laughs?
Anyway, the title is misleading. Nothing contrarian on this show. Quite the opposite: cheap populism blended with some memories.

Probably the most perfectly rounded standup about growing up in the 80s

I turned 45 last year. Listening to this even growing up in New Zealand in the 1980s was 80% the same experience. There were so many points of reference that totally was representative of my home life. The same type of mom. The similar types of experience as an elder sibling.
The low rating only shows that those who watched it around the world did not experience what almost 50% of non-white kids experienced. Look at what Russell Peters talks about from the Indian POV, I am Ind0-Fijian Kiwi myself, so related with that . Anyway, it could be the R rated language for the low rating as well.
The Fix in which DL currently is on Nextflix is worth watching as well.

Some laughs, but not contrarian.

The show starts off with DL Hughley stating popular opinion after popular opinion to cheers and applause with a few light jokes sprinkled in to make sure people remember he is a comedian. I was hoping from the title that there would be some contrarianism, but it was just affirmation of consensus, and I gave up about halfway through of there being anything but lukewarm jokes that reaffirm commonly held beliefs.
Anyone who didn't give this at least a 9/10 don't know comedy

Never really been a fan but my husband and I decided to watch on Netflix and man ole man we were laughing from beginning to end..DL has evolved as a stand up comic in a major way..And again was ,never a big fan but I am now. He killed it with this stand up..

Go back into hiding.

This man has been hiding for a while. And honestly should go back. Most of his jokes were to stir up more racial issues than anything else. Why are so many comdians using this as there go to rather than just making a joke. Stop helping the media pull us apart. And even if you lol past that it really wasn't that funny at all. I got more of a laugh out of his outfit.
Didn't laugh once and couldn't bare the pain

I could only watch this a few minutes before I was bored and unimpressed. Joke about whatever you like, I don't care, but jokes don't land when they rely on completely wrong statistics to make a racially motivated point.
