Included in these are the classics “Craps After Hours”, “Are you Serious”, “Super Nigger”, and “Black Ben the Blacksmith”. On national television Chris Rock called, “Black Ben the Blacksmith,” the best comedy album ever produced! Of the 12 Pryor albums David produced for Laff, 6 were nominated for Grammy’s including the Grammy winner “Rev.
