Netflix removes Chappelle Show at his request; Chappelle posts new standup bit about it

[ThrobbingHood]

Did you actually read what I wrote? I said he got to keep 100% of his company and something like 85% of sales (it was 80%). I don’t think you understand that the 80/20 is only for album sales. Not ownership of their masters. Cash money is 50% owned by universal with 85% of their royalties/album sales. Cash money only got the deal because master p wouldn’t renegotiate.

Breh. She’s extremely slow. Don’t mind her.

One company owns 100% the other owns 50% got it?

post a source. what i posted specifically calls the cash money priority deal a "distribution" deal.

No such thing as the "right thing" in business breh

Comedy Central would probably tell dave "and when you didn't have any other options on the table we are the ones who signed you to do your show that everyone else turned down. Without us you don't even get your big break".

You can't make a 100 million dollars until you make 1 dollar...

But Dave acknowledged that when he signed the deal he was a struggling comic.. Point is he’s in a whole different realm and CC still can’t come to the talk and negotiate but would rather put out Chapple show any time he’s featured in something else... that’s some cock sucka shyt

Again, you do not have to take these deals at face value nor take them at all. Negotiate for a better position before you sign and if that fails, then do not sign. I would say the same thing for someone breaking in to the business but Dave came in with a successful comedy special and movie appearances. If networks did not want to give him what he felt he deserved then he should not of taken the deal, grind even more, and come back. Most likely you will not be pitching your idea to the same people anyways and if you are, then you will have more leverage to get a better deal.

This should be a cautionary tale to those who want money and fame and feel they need to fukk themselves to get ahead. Is it better to be potentially famous and own nothing, or to own everything and run the risk of not being a big star?

There is no “leverage” thats why he specifically pointed out when they said “what do we need you for” that’s how they view black people. They own all of the networks and agencies and there was no internet to put your own content out back then. If you’re a comedian like Dave chapelle that has the raw talent and a great idea for a sketch comedy show in the early 2000’s you had to take whatever deal they gave you. They don’t “renegotiate” with black people. It doesn’t matter if he had 20 specials. That’s how they deal with black people. You take crumbs or walk. They won’t even negotiate with Dave NOW after all of his success.

After finishing this special I once again for the 1000th time will say Master P is the last black hero we had

Facts... Gave out them jewels on soLange album

This.
They’re trying to profit off of his work NOW that has nothing to do with them but won’t even sit at the table to negotiate on his old work.

I didn't laugh once. That crowd was too stupid to realize Dave wasn't telling jokes, he was spitting a cautionary tale that anyone can and should learn from. He's so much more than a comedian, he doesn't sugarcoat a muthafukkin thing and is brutally honest and open. That's a rarity in this world.

NETFLIX DON‘T!!!

Real ones know... Dave walkin wit the devine spirit now... Those cac Jews in Hollywood can’t do shyt but accept the wrath coming their way

Again, no one forced him to take the deal, NO ONE. He could said no, got more famous and tried again or just try to do something independent later on. Or he could of just shelved the idea and went on to do something else. The point is that you can not be forced or coerced into doing something you think is bad in a situation like this. If you take the hit then you take the hit but at least you are standing up for what you believed in. If you are going to get screwed royally in the deal then why even agree to it in the first place? An option he could of took was looking into joining SAG (or SAG-AFTRA now) to get help representing him while he went through the process, especially before shopping the show around.

This is the last time i will respond to this thread as it seems there are many people in here that are going off of their emotions and not logically thinking about this. Yes, Dave Chappelle is a great comic and one of the best ever and i am happy he is doing good with Netflix, but that does not free him from his choice to sign a bad contract. He is not the first and sadly given this day and age not the last to get the short end of the stick in a entertainment deal. This should be a lesson to those who want to get into Hollywood to think long term about their careers and how they could be impacted by decisions like this. Many people can learn from this to truly look at all of the avenues they can go down to get their dreams accomplished, without lasting conditions.

In the end, i am not saying Dave was stupid or idiotic for signing the contract, only that he did.

 

[SunZoo]

It's not back stabbing...it's an agreed upon contract...

If I sign a contract that says a company can use my name and likeness forever...I expect them to use my name or likeness... forever...

Company Central is still rolling in money over the chapelle show...so no...they actually didn't do bad business...

I swear Dave Chapelle is turning into for black people what Donald Trump turned into for white people...

Eternal negs for you, young c00n, going forward..outrageous comparison, you dumb fakkit.

 

[HE_Pennypacker]

Good for Dave. fukk these companies, they leverage their advantage upfront, situations change and now Dave’s leverage is at a new level.

he should take these cacs for all they have.

 

[HarlemHottie]

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.

We hear about them. Remember monique? And nobody gaf.

 

[duckbutta]

Filthy fukking cac

I'm a cac cause I don't worship Dave

Which is funny cause the overwhelming majority of his fans...are cacs

It's so weird there are plenty of black artist who have been ripped off by companies and spoke out about it and I don't see the coli worshipping them

But then again...those black artist aren't don't have a filipino wife and didn't purposely move to the cac overdose capital of america like dave did

For those people saying “It’s in the contract. He shouldn’t sign and then complain”, google what a Windfall Clause is and then let me know if you think CC triggering that clause after the success of Chappelle Show is ethical. I guarantee you no one explained what the ramifications of that is to him and the fact that the number that triggers the Windfall Clause is TBD by the company is fukked up.
