"Rap Reiplinger may not be familiar to those of you on the mainland, but he's legendary here in Hawaii and has been sorely missed after his early death.Most of the humor is with a local flavor.... but is killer funny even if you've never been to the islands...... Stop being a cheapskate! Just buy this and all of Raps material. You'll laugh your okole off."
A must have!!!

"This is a perfect remedy if you are homesick for Hawaii! Sure to make you laugh and remind you of many relatives from Hawaii!!! Go get um!"
That's Rap Reiplinger's comedy, not rap music

"But buy all his stuff anyway. Rap is hilarious. Having lived there probably makes it funnier, but I think his styles, voices, etc. would be funny to a lot of people. I am really sorry Rap left this world. I think it says a lot that his TV special won an Emmy.
My children did not grow up in the islands, and they think Poi Dog is the funniest stuff on earth. They still roll on the floor laughing every time we listen!"
This is the best of RAP -- not the best of rap, yo.

"LOL at that previous reviewer, who was probably a kid thinking this was a rap album. Yeah I've never heard of the rap group "Ass Why Hard" before either (though it wouldn't surprise me if one eventually gets named that!)Anyway, Rap Reiplinger was a guy that did some pretty good comedy sketches based on Hawaiian life, then OD'd on drugs back in the 80's. I don't get much out of some of it (I guess I'm probably two steps removed -- not an island local, and it's a couple of decades later), but some of it is still pretty funny."
