Grown-A$$ Man.What does it mean?It means I ain’t got time to play–no nonsense.For one thing, it means I don’t wear baggy pants sagging off my bootie. I can’t let you see my underwear label. That’s not cute. I’m a grown-a$$ man.“Grown-a$$ man” is more than a catch phrase. It’s a way of life. It’s a perspective.Say you got a younger cousin. He’s got one of those ghetto nicknames.

I ain’t going to call a guy Delicious.”Making love is no longer a full time occupation, not the way it once was. I used to do it all night, but now it takes me all night to do it.

Now in Grown-A$$ Man–his laugh-out-loud, first ever book–he proudly presents the very best of his unique brand of comedy.Here’s the red-hot comic in all his hilarity, talking about everything from old music vs. new (“I like Big, curl-ain’t-quite-right Luther. His curl never really curled all the way over. Always concerned me.”) to the pain of political correctness (“You can’t even smoke cigarettes on Earth now. You got to leave Earth to do it.”) to the differences between black people and white folks. He talks about the influences that shaped him while growing up in small town Missouri, a town “so small anyone could whip your butt, not just your mama.” In Grown-A$$ Man, you’ll see the many faces of Cedric, all outrageously funny and delivered with his trademark warmth and wit.Read More
