Dave Chappelle – For What It’s Worth (Full Video)
Dave Chappelle-For What It’s Worth finds the Comedy Central superstar in performance at San Francisco’s legendary Winterland, where he’s welcomed with a huge ovation. Easing into his set, Chappelle shares a few observations about the city itself, noting there’s nothing tender about the Tenderloin District: “You’ve got people smoking crack while sitting in front of Starbucks.” Chappelle’s inspiration dips a bit after that, as the subject of sex with monkeys and smoking weed with Indians doesn’t quite reach his usual standards. Then, suddenly, he’s on top of his game again, his material like an echo of vintage Lenny Bruce as he discusses why whites drink grape juice and blacks drink “grape drink,” why police harassment has led him to believe in impromptu alibis, and why the culture of celebrity should stay away from real-world issues: “Maybe Jah Rule doesn’t have the answers we want in a disaster.
Comedian Dave Chappelle does what he does best in this outrageous and hilarious standup performance, which allows him to really push the envelope and go even farther than he does on his TV show. Taped in San Francisco at the famed Fillmore, Chappelle lets loose on such topics as black celebrities, what it’s like to have raunchy fans of his TV show approach him while he’s trying to enjoy Disneyland with his kids, Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant and crackheads, of course.

Dave Chappelle – Killin’ Them Softly (Full Video)
Killin’ Them Softly is easily one of HBO’s best comedy specials, catching star Dave Chappelle at a career high in 2000 and with an abundance of hysterical, highly polished material. Taking his time, stretching concepts and bits like a master, Chappelle plunges into a wealth of anecdotes and observations about the influx of white people into Washington, D.C. (where this show was recorded) since the 1980s. (“Who are the scariest people? White guys in black gangs. No telling what they did to get respect.”) There are fantastic tales of racing cops with Chappelle’s white friend, Chip, and a great story about being left alone in a limousine outside a busy crack house. Other good stuff: introducing a kid to a PePe Le Pew cartoon and realizing too late the skunk is a sex criminal, and why we should know our 911 calls will end up played on television.
Originally aired on HBO in 2000, “Killin’ Them Softly” is without a doubt one of the funniest standup specials available. You’ll never laugh more than you will here. Dave spares no victim as he addresses issues about the Police, Racism, Sesame Street, Kids, and the Government. It’s hilarious! Comedy doesn’t get any better than this!

Guest Blog:When Did The Word “Nigger” Become Trendy…Deep Thoughts Via A Flash Blog By Eric Blair
Nigger
- A member of any dark-skinned people.
- Extremely disparaging and offensive; a Black person, a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible inferior, ignorant, etc.
- A victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by Blacks; a person who is economically, politically, or socially disenfranchised.
- A derogatory name for a Black person.
Why do so many people use the word nigger? When did it become cool for other races to use the word, nigger? Is there an old Jewish White man in Hollywood sending out e-mails to every other race telling them, “Hey, being Black is cool, but if you really want to be down use this cool new word, nigga. Then you’ll be with the in crowd, my nigga.” Is it that us, Black people, say it so much that other races think: “Fuck it, they know what they are and it sounds cool, so let’s try it out.”
