The first thing I asked myself when I saw this comedy special was "Who is Katt Williams and why should I care about a pimp chronicle?" I didn't know who he was, but after watching this little comedy special, I'd like to see him more.
Watching this man in action in this comedy special, you know a star comedian of the decade is being born. He's still working through the typical stand-up rough spots as this is a performance piece with a persona of a pimp that he's pulling off - only big problem is for me is for him to "loose the posse".
I didn't need the Snoop Dog introduction or the Anthony Anderson MC or the obvious hog appearance by Little Jon. Nor the 'props' and cameras in the faces of to the audience members "Da Brat" or "Andre 3000". It's nice they came out to support him but know this: Mr. Williams is just fine on his own. Let him be like the great comics who had an HBO spotlight before him, come out and just do your thing.
Once Mr. Williams gets going, his material is hilarious. It's raw as a street pimp's would be, so be prepared for every other word being the "n" word, cursing, racial differences and making references to drugs. If you take out all the expletives and "n" words, would he still be funny? Yep, he would. But a pimp would not speak to you in a conversation all prim and proper - would he, if he would speak to you at all. The best part of his persona and routine for me is his total dislike of Michael Jackson -- and why. You just knew he was serious about his convictions and that would give you food for thought.
So who is Katt Williams? Katt Williams is someone who gives you food for thought in his pimp persona. What will the pimp talk about in Part 2? Funny thing is, I would like to know.
