How does being done with it after the fact change him spending so much time on it in his last few specials. Why do trehs have so much power when there are so few of them? There is so much breath wasted speaking for or against them. Only people who live on Twitter are running into trehs everyday that's it stays on their mind. I will never understand the obsession.
At the end of the day it's still a cac. Treh wether it's a bytch or a fakkit, a treh is a still a cac at the end of the day. That's his point.

As a life long Dave fan and someone who has seen every special and as seen him in person this is the first time he didn’t hit at all with me.

The beauty about comedy is that even in these cancel culture times you can talk about sensitive issues as long as it’s FUNNY. There wasn’t one joke in here that really made me laugh. The whole show felt like something happened that day that was Dave’s last straw and he was just ranting to the locals at the bar about people he doesn’t like.

And 10 minutes in I knew what it was gonna be, the energy from those forced laughs from the crowd threw off the whole aura even through the tv

Y’all probably think I’m trolling but I never found Dave Chapelle to be hysterically funny. His jokes are that :skip: cac humor type of jokes, they can be funny but not in a legitimate hysterical type of way. Like the joke about him cumming on the priest’s face :skip:

I laughed though, Dave just never been that guy to me. Being unbiased he is the best we have out right, though :yeshrug:

Lol nikkas acting like Last of Us 2 gamers in here. You can tell who’s really bothered by trehs and who shrugs them off or has the same gripes Dave does.


This man took the whole movement on full force after being badgered by them for years, and didn’t blink. Called out the hypocrisy and caucastity of both the MeToo & LGBT movements while still respecting their principles and humanity, just not their execution or inherent condescension.




This was funny from start to finish, me and my homegirl (who’s both white and at times annoyingly pro-LGBT & feminist to the core) DIED THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE shyt :mjlol:




You nikkas are more sensitive than the communities he’s addressing. fukk is wrong with y’all :mjlol: this the best special he’s dropped in years if not his most polished, refined, and timely as well as socially aware.





You nikkas are hetero but still fakkits :russ:





Dave the GOAT :salute:

This sounds like something a white boy would say.

They pretend that they're a fan thinking it will add weight to their criticism.

What :mjlol:

That’s the number 1 duty of a fan is to properly criticize an artist they are the fan of :what:

And what does supposedly pretending to be a fan have to do with being a white boy?

Y’all nikkaz so weird on this board :dead:

Why would any other groups care about genocidal hip-hop if black people don't care or cosign it ?

Let's be real. We don't want anyone from outside the community criticizing hip hop. We'd clown anyone doing so.

At a surface level, I agree with the bolded. Any attempts by non-black people to criticize the content of hip hop are typically shouted down, but I'd say it's less about who's making the criticism, and what the intent of the criticism is. Typically, those criticisms come from someone white who is using hip hop as a surrogate for black culture, and isn't really asking hip hop to be better, but are really just airing their grievances with black people that are typically rooted in some degree of racial bias, if not flat out racism.

I haven't watched the special yet, but I have gotten the gist that he says that people are cool with him rapping about killing another black man, but aren't cool with what he said about the gay community. Based off of the backlash I've seen, this really looks like a case where people are mistaking this for the false equivalency game.

For the record, I thought what he said was fukked up, and he handled the entire situation terribly, but I also thought people dogpiling on him was just as bad. Primarily because a lot of the same outlets that were putting out their thinkpieces about how he's terrible, and an example of some of the dated ideologies of masculinity in the black community were the same ones propping him up. It's probably not all that hard to find articles where the same folks, when talking about him gleefully rapping about killing another man, would say shyt like "a stunning example of how the chilling realities of urban life can be addressed with humor and wit", or "the medicine of a window into the dark reality of the black experience.on America laced with the sugar of a uniquely blunt sense of humor."

Call me old fashioned but when I watch a comedy special, I expect to hear some… comedy! You and I pretty much feel the same.

We all know Dave is more than capable of being funny and insightful. No one here wants him to be a court jester, bucking his eyes for a laugh. We know he’s beyond that kind of hack materiel.

But damn, is it asking too much for a comedian to be funny during his ‘comedy’ special? I get it, he’s going at protected groups. He’s being brave, fearless etc. Great… but was he funny?

His previous body of work has put him among the GOATS and he’s still one of my top comedians, but objectively speaking, old cranky Dave ranting about gays/trans is just dull and boring.

When he’d go at CACs before, he would be subversive with his tongue in his cheek. He’d call out their bullshyt whilst simultaneously making everyone laugh. Carlin and Hicks still did this in their twilight years. Dave has missed the mark these past few years.
