I went up to the ‘CHAPPELLE Show’ in-studio taping sessions just to see if the scene would be as crowded as I imagined and what do you know, the line was around the building. I wasn’t going to go into the session because I didn’t want to support the T.I.’s from Comedy Central who have essentially hijacked and bootlegged the show.
I am sure that some of his “fans” knew that he didn’t co-sign this product and basically that his longtime buddy NEAL BRENNAN sold him up the river, but the sessions were free and I guess after its all said and done nobody really cares.
I care about DAVE (no brokeback) and I care about the artisitic struggle. After this post I won’t say anything about the show on this site since I have promised myself that I won’t watch it. I hated when the T.I.’s sent CHRIS ROCK to bite DAVE on the azz. It was so obvious that CHRIS was being told what to say. I was further pissed off when the humps from ‘South Park’ chimed in with their moral (read: economics based) judgement. Fuck those ‘South Park’ fags that benefit from supremacy on a daily basis and then claim to be some even minded artists.
I feel DAVE’s pain because he had to split with his creative partner after finding out that dude was a snake in the grass. I hope DAVE can pick up the pieces. In the meantime I will enjoy BOONDOCKS reruns.
the way i look at it dave compromised neal’s, charlies, ashy larry’s…etc careers by becoming a tempermental f*g…if all neal did was to try to recoup some of his lost earning potential (which he NEVER will now) i can’t be mad at him…
chapelle orchestrated a full-time jack move and peaced out on a lot of people depending on him because of questionable reasons…if anything those guys should be heated at him not vice versa.
his earning potential is as strong as ever….not the same for them
I’m with you, I ain’t watching the show. I respect Dave and give him props for being able to walk away from that money. No amount of money is worth your dignity and sanity.
sangano,
who does dave chappelle owe?!? all these dudes are grown azz men. nobody owes them a lifestyle. dave gave them enough to work with already. you sound like one of those type cats that makes dough off somebody back sweat and think it suppose to be like that forever.
truth is donnell and charlie murphy don’t want to piss the T.I.’s off. they is like, “we’s gon’ be obedient if you let us stay in the house massa”
of course they makin money off chapelle’s genious, no arguin that
but bottom line for them…HE messed THEIR paper up!
So how can i be mad at them for recoupin whatever they can?
sangano, I still dont agree that he messed their paper up because he gave them shine already. Its like how long should you breastfeed a child? I feel you that Dave bounced on the production some kind of way, but if your man fifty grand turned to the dark side and flipped on you how would you respond? Look at how your boy Obi-Wan moved out to the desert.
if my patna (regardless if he was the face or not) woulda ditched me in the middle of transaction/pursuit i would have thrown him to the wolves knowing that i got a mortgage/family/lifestyle to take care of…just my outlook on things
whats left to be mentioned is the obviously dave is the face/genious of the endeavor…what isn’t discussed is that Neal was his PARTNER..not nigga..not homie..not contributer PARTNER..and ol’boy left him out in the cold…we dont kno/never will kno how less funny/more funny the show woulda been w/o him…we just know that its the best dam television we ever saw w/ HIM….so give that man some due
FUCK A NEAL BRENNAN!
hahahahaha…fuck that nigga!
You know I never thought about it like that until you mentioned it. Chappelle seems to have found himself in a situation where the only people in his career are there simply to eat off of him (no brokeback) sad but thankfully he still has amazing standup chops that could no doubt sustain him without having to tap dance in the world of sketch comedy.
