One Stop Carnival is the debut and sole studio album of American actor Brian Green. It was released on November 5, 1996, by Yab Yum Entertainment and 550 Music (which was a subsidiary of Epic Records). [4]
The album's sound imitated other West Coast hip-hop acts from the era, including Souls of Mischief, The Pharcyde, and Ahmed. It was rumoured that several of Green's verses were ghostwritten by other artists. Green was known to be close friends with several of the album's guests, including slimkid3 and Kamau Holloway. [2]

One Stop Carnival was met with negative publicity, both inside and outside the hip-hop industry. [2]
Green's music drew comparisons to A Tribe Called Quest, KRS-One and Vanilla Ice. The Onion and The A.V. Club both named the album as one of the least-essential of the 1990s. [1] [5]
Allmusic reviewer Jason Ankeny called the album "pallid, uninspired, and insufferably arrogant, with no acknowledgement that its very existence rests solely on Green's limited success as a secondary actor on a fading prime-time drama." [4]
