Our Take

W. Kamau Bell’s “Semi-Prominent Negro” is a whimsical journey through the mind of a seriously funny man. With his sharp wit and keen observations, Bell tackles race, politics, and pop culture with a refreshing honesty that is both thought-provoking and hilarious.

From the opening track, “Awkward,” to the closing notes of “Black on the Air,” Bell takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions and laughs. His ability to navigate tricky subjects with grace and humour is commendable, and his clever wordplay keeps the audience on their toes throughout the entire album.

Standout tracks include “Shade,” a tongue-in-cheek look at the art of throwing shade, and “Kneeling and Standing,” a provocative exploration of the controversy surrounding NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem. Bell’s delivery is on point, his timing impeccable, and his insights are as sharp as ever.

Overall, “Semi-Prominent Negro” is a triumph for W. Kamau Bell and a testament to his talent as a comedian and social commentator. Whether you’re a fan of stand-up comedy or just looking for a good laugh, this album is a must-listen. So sit back, relax, and let Bell’s unique brand of humour take you on a wild ride. You won’t be disappointed.
