aries spears claims dave chappelle didn't appeal to black audience at first

[Cat piss martini]

why is this drunk uncle with
liver disease face having ass nikka
always speaking on other comedians?

 

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

Chappelle was a real one. There's speculation he was cloned and killed.

This is a dumb topic (no offense op), a lot of people didn't see chappelles brilliance till chappelles show. White or black.

Half baked was a stoner movie and was good for that but nobody was tripping off of Daves performance. Wasn't till chappelle show that people white or black saw how good he was.

[Miggs]

Cot damn Aries lookin like the Steve Francis of comedians....

 

[TEH]

All the stoners knew him regardless of race ...

 

[BlackMajik]

He was on Def Comedy Jam though...

^^^^^^^This

And everyone was laughing in the audience. So wtf is he talking bout?

 

[Treblemaka]

crazy cuz i was thinking just today that if the chapelle show was on BET i probably would've fukked with it.
it had a "we're laughing at you not with you" vibe whenever i would hear cacs rave about it.

You do know Viacom had already bought BET by the time Chappelle show was on the air right?

point being it wasn't really targeted to a black audience like martin was, for example.

 

[YouMadd?]

Chapelle didn't appeal to the black audience.

Go watch his early def comedy jam appearance. His style didn't really catch on with black folks. He perfected it though with Killig Them Softly.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

He didn't

This. Watch some of Dave's old stand ups and even his first Def Comedy Jam. Dude was corny and his voice was kinda annoying. He took some time to refine his shyt and be less of a "character"

 

[Citi Trends]

I like everything Dave has done.

Sometimes people confuse black comedy with hood comedy. Not saying that's what this is about but I see it alot when black people write off certain comedians and shyt.

 

[tater]

People still say this regarding his stand up. Outside of his show, a lot of his comedy isn't "urban". I've liked his stand up, but I'm pretty open to comedians.

 

[CELL]

So? What the fukk does that statement even mean? Idiots being idiots trying to sound clever.

Comedy is comedy and Dave Chapelle is one of the most talented artists I have ever seen grab the mic. Just because he doesn't have a certain style, or doesn't lean towards a certain audience that doesn't make him anything other than a great comedian in HIS lane. End of, no debate.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Before the show his 3 most famous spots were Killing them Softly which was in DC and seemed to have a majority black audience, Half Baked, and then Reggie in Nutty Professor. Black folks knew him plenty.

 

[Calmye]

I always liked him. But this is true
