Chappelle was on Def Comedy Jam back in the day. Black people knew of Chappelle before the show. And whites weren't fukkin with Chappelle show until that that Rick James shyt. They only fukked with the truly silly shyt like Rick James and the Lil Jon shyt anyways. And most whites still didn't even get the racial social commentary type of stuff.
This but I don't get why some cats act like you gotta be first on everything. Cool you was there first want a cookie? Yeah I knew about men in tights didn't watch it but definitely saw half baked over and over with my friends
I always bust out laughing at Dave...never bust out laughing at Richard Pryor. When I watch his specials I'm just amazed at how effortless that shyt was for him. all comedians should aspire to reach the level of fearlessness when on stage. Martin Lawrence "You So Crazy" had me cryin a few times. Eddie Murphy....Delirious was funnier than Raw to me. By time I watched Raw I had heard a million shytty comedians recycle those jokes so it didnt hit as hard for me.
Love all of Chris Rock's specials and the only comedian to make me laugh as much as I did while watching those was Damon Wayons. Damon Wayans is underrated as fukk when it comes to stand up....I'll put "One Night Stand", "Still Standing" and "Last Stand" up against most specials.
exactly. Dave Chappelle was well known about amongst blacks before Chappelle show.me and my friends (all black) were hyped as fukk to go see Half Baked in 98' cause Chappelle was in it been fukking with him since "Men in Tights" used to come on Cable and then the Comedy Specials real black comedy heads been fukking with Dave for at least 20/25 years
Anybody who didn't fukk with Dave until the Chappelle show was either young or way outta the fukking loop
I agree. When people talk about black celebs risking their wealth to stand up against whites...this is what it looked like. They made Chappelle out to be "crazy" if yall remember how people talked about him. He could have easily went into full blown c00ning and just doing caricature comedy like the Lil Jon skits. He knew they wasn't fukking with the social commentary smarter type shyt, they wanted him to just buck dance. Then he was portrayed as mentally ill when he walked away.Somebody tell this afro cuban to stop hating.
Dave is far from the white mans Frankenstein. This a brotha that walked away at the height of his career.
Trust a white folks pet does not do that shyt.
nikka your reading skills ain't up to snuff? I'm agreeing with you smhAin't about being first....Fazon acting like black people didn't fukk with Dave AT ALL in the 90s which is a damn lie I just put that out there to make a point
