JOJO McQUEEN has been busy on her grind and she brings us this good news from up north. DAVE CHAPPELLE is in no danger of going broke anytime soon as he has sold the rights to release his ‘Block Party’ documentary to some T.I.’s from Universal Pictures.
That was singularly the greatest hip-hop show ever and I am including on that list the 1987 Fresh Fest at Madison Square Garden the summer that SCOTT La ROCK was killed as well as the B.I.G. tribute ten years later at the Palladium featuring JIGGA, MISSY, MASE, J.D., LIL’ KIM, the LOX and of course DIDDY. You can just click here to read my review of the show. JO JO and I enjoyed the show with some potheads that we skipped on the shuttlebus line to the show. We rode in yellow cheese school buses to this funky little dead end block in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. I left JO JO with the potheads during the DEAD PREZ set so that I could enterprise my way backstage. Craft services was unreal for the show. They had a cutting board with filet mignon, baked salmon, tira misu, salads and top shelf liquors. It was all of that and a bag of salt and vinegar chips, especially when the ‘Fugees reunited.
DAVE CHAPPELLE is taking the words right out of ol’ Blue Eyes mouth and doing the damn thing HIS WAY!
