Give him his money

The situation is crazy if you think about it. When you're that young professional needing to get paid, you take these crazy deals, because you need the money. You don't know if you'll be successful or not, so you can't negotiate a better deal. If you don't take the deal, you starve. But if you take the deal and become successful, you won't make the "big" money because of the contract. So, either you take the contract or you don't. If you don't, you won't have the TV show. Without the TV show, you might not become successful and famous. But if you take the show, you'll sign away future profit. So, what should you do?

his business deal was what it was, but since i mess with Dave i'll oblige him.
p had a distribution deal for his independently ran label
it has been duplicated lol. cash money, tde for example
i know people like to shyt on artists as being dumb in the business but a lot of em actually do ok. that's why i don't feel sorry for everybody that cries about bad contracts.

try to sign a small deal, for like a few years max, or one with some options to renegotiate if you make certain milestones. put some money in your pocket then see how it goes.
people be signing 10 album/year deals for 6 figures
I don’t know if this boycott will do anything. Most people are not going to care about a rich person making even more money
This is like Le’Veon bell asking his fans not to watch the Steelers while he was sitting out.
but Dave is way more influential so

Dave never said boycott comedy central or any other channel, he said to boycott the dave chappelle show. There's a big difference.
When covid is over...go to a tv station n ask for a new deal for Tv show i know they will pay him good or he can keep doing stand up in corn fields while people sittn on hay stacks
Hopefully that happens, but how many music artists with shytty contracts get out of them after becoming famous and complaining about it? This will ultimately be decided on whether CC and Viacom can be financially hurt enough to discuss anything about the particulars of Dave's contract.
Just save the money up for a competent and highly recommended lawyer. It’s nearly impossible to understand that shyt
What system? Again business is not fair or moral, it is business. We always hear about the people complaining after the fact about their contracts, but never about the people who say no to contracts they feel is unfair. He did not have to sign the contract; he could of pitched it to somewhere else or did more shows/specials/movies until he had more negotiating power or something else. No one forced him to sign and that is that.I think Chappelle and most people on TheColi knows how contracts work Breh...
His point is the system is fukked up. His situation is a product of that system.

He is who he is today, because of that show. Before that, he was best known for
I ain't saying he gotta be grateful, but you take what you can and you build on it. Contracts are a part of business.
That said, I love to hear Dave tell stories. He's extremely captivating.
nikka this is a fukking lie. Arguably his best special Killin them softly came out before Chapelle show as did Half Baked.
Of course they did. They had leverage over someone wanting them to use their resources to create a show which possibly could of failed (a lot of shows do) and have no skin in the game when it came to recouping lost money. People keep talking about "system" this and "system" that when it comes to music/t.v. business, but it is a system that you have to take part in to get fukked.Cacs been fukking us over for years. fukk all that contract shyt, they knew what they was doing
You are right, i can not know if his contract was proper or not but he should of before he signed it.This stupid shyt here
Since the existence of contracts there have been instances where some contracts were illegally constructed, etc. And things got resolved in court.
U posted like u seen his contract and know for sure shyt like his shyt was proper

Radio Music Hall performances are new Dave at his peak, 2014, New York raw audience, the material was crazy and the hardcore fans were there.
THAT should've been a special, Not the Netflix
I still remember he did the bit the whole but on Sterling /NBA drama.
But hey, I like the social commentator Dave too
