"I wanted to see the Def Comedy Jam famous Bernie Mac, “I ain’t scared of you mf’ers” so I googled the episode and this special, which I’d never heard of, was one of the recs like it. It’s absolutely magnificent. Basically the story of hip hop comedy that was so famous in the 90’s. No holds barred. Guy and Joe Torry don’t like each other, in half the interviews people are hammered drunk, Snoop’s smoking weed and getting off the best one liners ever. But it’s so heartfelt and honest you just feel it. If you ever watched and like DCJ, this is a must. Oh and that episode is S2E1. "
