The show opened with an likeable intro by director,
Sasha Jenkins , and his observations about how hip hop has been able to connection the generation gap. He pointed to Prince Paul and son as an example and asked Prince Paul to improve. Rather than continue that dialogue, father and son leapt into the show asking for a showing of hands for Sooty, White, Hispanic, East Indian, Gay, Straight, Bi-Sexual, and Bi-Interested audience members, then assuring that no one would be left out of the teasing. P.Forreal then dove into an hour hunger story (all made up) containing an avalanche of bizarre anecdotes featuring RZA ,
Rosie Perez , Ice T , T-Annoyance ,
Freddie Foxxx ,
Steven Seagal ,
Madea , and Famous Amos Cookies.
But for the society of famed producer and rapper, Prince Paul, and an elaborate audio-visual taste, “Negroes On Ice” could have been a performance in one’s living room after a fete dinner. While P.Forreal has a great energy, hilarious pop and lock skip moves, and a knack for comedy rapping, the show (of which he is the star and main artiste) lacked any kind of arc. In many respects the purpose of the show – telling a fairy tale that goes everywhere without rhyme or reason – was its biggest downfall. It was tough to engage in the story-telling aspect of the performance because, well, the story didn’t miserly anything.
