Dave spoke about some of the reasons why he left. Mainly that he didn't like the idea of celebrity and having to alter his life for fame. Anything else said is hearsay at best.

Dave is more than capable of telling his story whenever he chooses. So unless he goes into more details about what happened, or cosigns what Katt Williams had to say, it's :duck:

I stopped believing anything Katt Williams says a long time ago. It makes for interesting sound bytes, but that's about it. Dave has said multiple times that he couldn't stand being super famous, and hated everything that came along with it. Even in his stand-up shows before he blew up he would talk about never wanting to get too big as a celebrity.

A lot of people get burnt out on fame, but Dave was just smart enough to walk away before he ended up like Katt Williams.

Sad for Katt, and sad for the fact Blacks with huge talent still need or feel they need White outlets. Thats where all our issues in music and film begin.

Chappelle made 500 million for these people?

:damn:

I wouldn't even be surprised.


As its second season winds down, the series is the highest-rated program in its Wednesday 10:30 p.m. slot on any network among men 18-34 — the most elusive demographic for any network to reach. Averaging 3.1 million total viewers this season

That means they could possibly charge a premium for adspace because they're the only ones that can capture this audience.

“Chappelle” brings in new urban viewers while still retaining Comedy’s core audience. Even “Daily Show” is getting a lift from “Chappelle,” reaching record ratings in recent weeks.

He was boosting ratings for damn near everything for the entire network.

Not to mention the DVD sales. The first season sold 800k copies in the first month. The second season sold 1.2 million in the first week and had sold 3MM as of 2005. Between the first 1st and 2nd season sales he's probably sold 10 million copies of them total. At 20 dollars that's 200MM right there

I cant fuuck with Katt Williams. Always saying something disrespectful about Africa.


the more i think about it, i'm actually :dead: at the fact that he thinks there is no running water or roads in Africa. dat nationalism :wow: :mjlol:

I mean I understood what he was saying although it did come off kind of ignorant. He was just using sensationalism to prove a point. Unless there are other instances of him shytting on Africa, I can give him a pass on this one.

Katt looks as if he knows where a lot of bodies are buried...and all the closets where the skeletons are located... and it's eating at his soul.

Zactly!

I doubt you've looked into it. its pretty well known



THIS

I cba to find the vid. but the white jew who supposedly co wrote the chapelle show (naill whatever) swindled dave out of the writers credit etc conspired with those who run the industry (jews) to get dave to sign the slave contract

the reasons dave gave to the public were just him scratching the surface

look into it

Dave has been one of my favorite comedians for a long time. Way before his show when my brother put me on to one of his standups he had on DVD. I beliece I've seen every interview Dave has had since he left the show, and the only answers Dave gave for leaving was what I outlined in my posts (well he also said he had go to Africa because they wanted him to sacrifice a part of him he wasn't willing to give up).

Now if you have some additional info that either he said, or someone with ties to his situation said please share with the class.

Exactly. His bit about he only wanted to be famous enough to put his dikk on someone's shoulder and they not get mad summed it up perfectly. Dave wanted nothing to do with fame, and he wasn't motivated by money either. He was just an incredibly talented dude who wanted to live a normal life and make people laugh.

He really wasn't bout that Hollywood life.

:ehh: fair enough. i can respect that pov. pretty logical.

Thank you for not calling me a fukk nikka and/or a fakkit. I know I probably would have called you one for being brazen enough to disagree with me :brehwow:

Unfortunately I'm still gonna have to neg you though. May not be today. May not be tomorrow. Just know when it happens it'll probably hurt me than it hurts you :to:

Katt Williams is definitely sauced up. I've only watched about 20 seconds but I just wanted to put that out there because I know from experience what it means when u do that head constantly moving up and down kinda jazz. Not taking away anything about what he said (cause again I didn't watch the video) but I'm just saying that for people thinking he lost his mind or is on dope. I'm looking at him and he's clearly saucy and the cup next to him looks like gin and tonic or vodka and tonic

Breh, did you just admit to being a crack head :dwillhuh:

What y'all think happened with Yvette Wilson and Bernie? Bernie especially because he was just coming into the mainstream. Was filming that movie with Samuel L and had just wrapped up The Bernie Mac show

I don't know if what he says is 100% true or not but it is definitely intriguing. I'm leaning towards Katt due to the fact that Niel Brennan (as someone posted a video earlier) had a hand in saying Dave had drug problems and that was supposed to be a good long time friend of his From that I would say there was a definite plan to smear Dave when he left but the reason is still unclear. I haven't heard any of the behind the scenes dealings going on with Bernie Mac and his story before he died. I hope someone can shed some light on that for me.
