I'm still sore from the laughter.

and yep on Martin. Never saw the hype with that show.

I didn't fukk with him until Killing Me Softly. Half Baked looked like some corny shyt white people like so that's kinda how I viewed him

I agree 100. I didn't even like his Def Comedy Jam stuff. Felt corny back then.

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.

agreed

Killing Me Softly started my interest in Chappelle, and then the moment that Clayton Bigsby sketch dropped, my crew and I were :dead: Going round to people like, "y'all seen this shyt??!"

yeah, i'll never forget when white guys i knew started gettin' into the chappelle show and started dikk ridin' it hard with the lil jon skit :francis:

Right. that's when the frat cacs got into Chappelle and it was fukking annoying. Always hated that Lil Jon skit.


with all that said, the chapelle show was never fukkin' with in living color :whew:

complete blasphemy :martin:

I agree with other posters in the sense that :"Killing Them Softly" was his breakout the same way "Seriously Funny" was for Kevin Hart.

he was known but more so a smaller following. He had his cameo in Nutty Professor & Eddie put him in the movie in one of the best scenes you know he had to have talent.
