Bill Cosby - Talks To Kids About Drugs 1971

Bill Cosby	William Henry Cosby Jr	Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Jul 12 1937 -	Official Site Twitter	Wikipedia

If you think Mr. Huxtable is gonna just jive these kids about drugs, you got another thing coming. Bill gives it to them straight, with no dense chocolate-y pudding to cloud up their perception of just how bad getting on your own trip is. Aside from the typical cutesy-pie conversations with street kids, this record has some great musical backing. The stand-out tracks include Bill's simulation of getting high on "Downers & Uppers," Bill doing what could almost be considered a soul-less cover of James Brown's Public Enemy No. 1 on "People Make Mistakes," and the studio musicians tearing through some open drum breaks and wah drenched funk on "Dope Pusher" (while for some reason Bill shouts like a maniac through-out the whole thing). Cosby proves to the kids that he knows his shit and I think that he sums it up best on the back cover when he states, "the time spent acquiring a drug habit and kicking it is time you could have used to educate yourself." Nuff said!
