Chappelle

Not a riveting response to my last post but it is my fault. I've been inexcusably absent, but I'm rectifying the situation, currently (obviously). BUT, Dave Chappelle took a nice long hiatus and came back like a boss. Dave has changed soooo much from when he started out. For the good, for the bad, it's for you to decide. Me personally, I fucking love the transformation. Watching the arc of his career is remarkable. Not sure why it took 10 years for him to find.... well what I consider the best comedy he has ever done. He finally took the kiddie gloves off and starting preaching a.k.a speaking mad unadulterated truth, unapologetically. I am proud of him, which sounds absurd because he's not my five year old child, nonetheless I feel like a proud father watching his son hit his first home run. Trust me, I fully understand he had to cut his teeth and do the whole Hollywood thing, placate/appease the masses. Now he appeases himself and says whatever the fuck he feels like, and frankly I'm jealous. Wait I mean envious. I love saying whatever the fuck I want, however I don't have the same clout as Dave. He's funny, but he is a lot much more. I want to say brilliant but I don't want the statement to be misconstrued as hyperbole. Actually he is brilliant and his talent should be recognized as such. I think his comedy reaches next level: not just funny, but intelligent, charismatic, and socially conscience. Its hard to make all of those things work together and still be successful.

But I digress, I'll stop dick riding. Just wish I had the platform to go as raw as he does. He earned it. In my top 5 of people to meet for sure. I got him in my scope.
