Born Suspect (DreamWorks, 1991) by Chris Rock

Chris Rock's first album, released a few years prior to his breakthrough LP Roll With the New, is an album that shows a lot of potential.  The jokes aren't quite as polished, but signs of the intelligent comedian that would soon emerge are certainly there.  On race: "Being white is like always having five dollars in your pocket and being black is like always being 50 cents short."  On minimum wage: "That's just a way of saying, 'I'd pay you less if I could.'  And with taxes, that's like kicking Tuesday and Wednesday in the ass."
