While trying to keep his mind and success on two seasons of his first hit, Dave Chapelle may be unknowingly in the real life version of his famous single.
After a brilliant debut, Dave Chapelle appeared on the show in its second season, apparently in one daring act, and proclaimed, “I’m a Rick James bitch!” He displeased the spectacle in all directions, and whomever and whomsoever he encountered, he carried before him all boundaries of age, race, or state.
With a witty wit and a fearless sense of humor, he became more refined in the cuisine of the audience accustomed to fast food television. No one expected such a huge success of the show, especially Capella himself, who seemed to be carried away by the sudden protection of his fame.
There was anticipation for the third season as many delays were announced, and then there was word from Comedy Central that production of the third season was to be postponed indefinitely. During this tumultuous period, Capella remained completely silent, even amid rumors ranging from drug use to mental instability.
He recently spoke in an interview that he gave to Time Magazine. He admitted that the pressure of release under the mammoth weight of the contract was difficult. “There were things that overwhelmed me, but not as people say. I didn’t spend the money. All that stuff about engagements and taking a crack is not true.”
He outlined his concerns about creative control and other disagreements he had with Comedy Central. “I want to dance and not mix. Whatever I decide now I’m going to have. He gave an interview from South Africa where he is visiting friends, not with ease of mind and talk. I like this. said the chapel and pull the flintstone; stop the speed of the car using bare feet as brakes.
And what he leaves us, the hungry fans of Dave’s Chapel will show. Our bowls in our hands, our weak voices, pleadingly asking, “Lord, please, I want more.”
He accomplished a rare feat in Hollywood. Originality His sketches and punch lines, even the monologue-to-exhibition style of the show, are the likes of which we have never seen. Everything that needs to happen for the show to continue its foundational success, Dave is for Chapelle to just show up and be Dave. Or Tony. Or LIL JON. Prince or whoever wants.
Trucks care little about their wallet bank account, and they won’t judge their comedy by the measure. If he tries to write jokes for $50 million dollars, he will fall on his face every time; and there will be a choice in it. The chapel seems to have forgotten one fundamental truth. People love Dave the Chapel. Whatever he presents, the fans will devour it. They love it and will come back for more. Not because of absence, but because of whiteness.
Dave Chappelle’s songs seem to stem from a genuine attempt to stay grounded and stay true to himself, which is highly commendable. But this seems to have been seen before. Capella should learn his lesson from his stories warning of the consequences of keeping the truth, be it.
Fans of the show can only hope that Comedy Central will remain patient with its troubled star, and that he still has the appearance that he will return when he makes a real save.
