@@ha3zim I wouldn't say he beat it with style, they fucked over like, 12 years of his career and made him have to dispell crackhead rumours. He most definitely *came back* in style though.
Indeed... He has avoided the tentacles of bad contracts that steal your soul... He's also got on stage and spoke about real shit... Not a bunch of tom foolery that we see so often with other black celeberaties ... Often lured by big money contracts that aim to do nothing but inflate the ego of the signer and encourage them to act like a dam fool.. not realizing they are just pawns.. used to make black people look bad... Yes.... There are many rich racist people that would stop at nothing and will gladly hand a contract to any dumb motherfucker willing to unwittingly represent the black race in a negative light
While the rest of the world sell their soul and bodies for Hollywood, this man made an entire industry less significant compared to his values. Thank you Sir Chappelle.
Are you really surprised by Oprah's attitude towards the community of celebrity black males? If anything,i was surprised that at one point in the interview she seemed empathetic to the cause of the comedian,but it wasn't really her: it was the public. When Dave ( as usual) stole the soul of the audience with one line: love , is a nutrient... The reaction of the public surrendered to Chappelle's sincerity , and there's was nothing she could do but to knell to your highness Dave. You're absolutely right friend , Oprah is disgusting . I don't care who agrees with me or not.
It doesn’t surprise me that Oprah acted that way... I see her as a true sell out ... she demonstrated-that in this interview .. with her condescending attitude-towards Dave... he most certainly didn’t deserve that... but as usual Dave won the audience with his charm and sincerity.... she blew that interview .. and if I was Dave I would never ever give her the time of day..., Dave your the greatest and you will always be in our hearts....
Dave Chapelle is like a Phoenix, he rises everytime. Even when others try to snuff out his flame, he still rises from the ashes to the point he’s untouchable. I no longer see him as a comedian anymore. He’s a philosopher
@@dave25279 That's like saying our black ancestors didn't have a choice about slavery. When they could of pick death or fighting back to the death. (Another undesirable choice or option. Yet how many will select it. Which is the whole point of my comment. Ppl do have options even if they don't like them.)
A human being was not biologically built to be under a microscope and judged by millions of people around the world. The Hollywood lifestyle is a double edged sword. It gives people a chance to pursue their passion and touch the lives of people around the world. But it also means that you have to carry the burden and responsibility that comes with it. I remember first hearing about Dave turning down millions of dollars from comedy central and not understanding why. I live in Los Angeles and it seems like there is an aspiring artist in every street corner waiting to be found and make it in Hollywood and yet Dave turned his back on it. It wasn't later in life til I really realized why he did what he did. The older you get the more you realize what matters and what doesn't. There are things that money can't buy and there is a price to pay for trying to do so. Being spiritually bankrupt has got to be one of the worst feelings in the world especially when you are being judged by the world and being called crazy. It takes a tremendous amount of self discipline and belief in one self to do what Dave did. You never know all he internal battles people go through. It takes courage to publicly put your spiritual, mental and emotional health before money knowing you will be out casted for it. Dave has managed to stay grounded in humility despite all the bs thrown at him. Truly one of the best comedians to ever do it.
Imagine the internal struggle after he made his decision ... I'm sure he was fighting with what might've felt like regrets at that moment .. Dave is an incredibly strong human being
Satan is such a coward and can't take rejection. He never believed this guy can turn him down since almost all of them accepts his offer. You lost this one satan
@@pighater951 Satan is a fallen angel think it's funny don't believe me find out for yourself go and hang out with some people from the occult and do some of the rituals and see what happens and whether it's real or not
He did sell his soul 😂but he didn’t go all the way. People think selling soul is a one time thing. No, there’s a price for it. His dad was the price, conscious or not... that was the price, it’s a choice a lot of celeb subconsciously make. He sold out but had a boundary. If he rlly left Hollywood why is he still on tv? 🤦🏾♀️He just chose to be comfortable with what he has
He earned my respect with his ability to poke fun at every nationality and make you laugh without feeling uncomfortable. A true gift from God, a talent yet to be matched. It a shame Hollywood reared its satanic head and attempted to stifle him, squash his word with accusations of being a crack head, crazy, lost his mind etc. Dave Chappelle is a hilarious dude, doesn't matter if your black or white. If this doesn't make you laugh. there's something wrong with ya! ---> ruclips.net/video/hLOw_SzkRQ8/видео.html
Everything is funny until you realize there's a group that's not laughing with you but at you. Dave woke up to a more real reality that hit him one on one and wasn't going to allow it to control him and sell out. At the time he knew he couldn't beat that system. Best thing was to find his peace of mind. Thank you Afrika. Asante.
Tht statement frm Oprah triggered me in so many ways I know it was a different time mental health wasn't a sensitive topic but to a person explaining how toxic his environment was I mean thts basic n she kept repeating like trying to put words in his mouth
I like what Kevin Hart and Joe Rogan said about Dave, that he knows who he is. If you walk away from 50 mil, you have to know yourself and the specific reasons why you would walk away from that money.
If we were all as kind, wise and generally good hearted as Dave Chappell the world would be such a better place. He dad sounds like he was a wise man a well!
"They can't control you if you don't have or want anything. The way to control someone who doesn't have anything is to give him something. Then hold it against him." - Patrice O'Neal. That's kinda what they did tried to do to Dave, give him the 50 mill and then control him.
Truly an inspiration. One of the reasons i got into comedy! Always protect your peace & happiness! THAT IS PARAMOUNT! Reminds me of the DeNiro line from Heat back in 95' ( Neil McCauley : Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. ) This doc was well put together. Someday they'll remember me like they do Chappelle
I'm pissed that Dave Chappelle never made it one hundred percent clear, that they tried to give a 50 million when they owed him more close to 125 million the deal was to split whatever they made together 50/50 - what they paid for the show but the Dave Chappelle show made 250 million dollars
What if the show had flopped,should comedy central beg for their $50 million? He made a deal and then started crying when the station that took the risk made a bigger profit than him. Best believe that is going to hurt comedians in the future not help them.
@@loualbino5536 you’re not even making any sense.. yes , they made a deal! The deal was to split 50/50 . They took 90! So this supposed “crying” which wasn’t even that , is based on the fact that they took more than their fair share of the deal.
@@DA-Red-Panda1 nah, hollywood creates an environment where people become dependent on drugs to perform and keep going and then they get diagnosed with "mental disorders" because it sounds better than "drug addiction."
Dave is a LEGEND!! I lost respect for the big O after her Michael Jackson interview. I see she didn't learn anything from the way she treated him..so quick to call someone crazy.
Dave is a special kinda person! Being able to hold onto your personal perspective with that much being thrown at you is something that most people could never do.
Damn, that part about them wanting to recast the black girl as a white girl stuck with me. It’s something we know is going on, but to hear an actual example of it happening and them actually saying the words... It’s just wow.
@@banyana6515 u see he didn't need to come there. The soil he stood on the ppl who gave him love and buildings that gave him sleep and peace where all in an African country. Africa provided and only the group he met
@@knii5793 That's true. I too went through something traumatic when I lived in the UK. I came back to my country to heal. One has to do that before you go back and face those devils with all of mama Africa in you. The West can be toxic to black people. Black Americans really need to come home more often.
14:16 Oprah you sd have knew that Dave didnt lost his mind... He actually Found out his mind.. pardon my English. but he actuallt did.. he knew everything was wrong and he left. That dicision is have to be made by concious and clear mind.
I think I can finally understand Dave Chappelle. He was stricken with these higher-ups and executives controlling him and making him into whatever they wanted because of a contract. So he walked away and went back to stand-up comedy where he doesn't have to answer to anybody and he can control his own narrative. He connects with an audience one-on-one, without his words or actions being edited by anyone except himself. He took back control and came out the other side stronger than ever.
This is absolutely the BEST compilation Ive ever seen. Dave is my hero. He s a hero, period. The most real person Ive seen on the planet. Hes an inspuriation. and something we would all do well to aspire to be like.
The Dave we see is the Dave we get. I think that’s the most underrated part of the beauty of him. He’s unapologetically himself (which in my opinion works because he’s a hilarious comedian and a good man) but it’s not for everyone. He’s one of one.
I wasn’t sure about Dave when he first came out, seemed like average comedian trying to be successful, but now that the smoke has cleared-his integrity to himself has made him among the elite. Actually influencing how people approach their life with integrity. So much respect.
Dave knew when the crap was getting to deep ,he thought and remembered the wise words of his father , he knows when to go out the door ,to save his self from the money merchants, who try to coax their way with the $ . . wise man ''
The things he says, are things that everyone should know about their enviournment. The thing is can you say from your heart "this is what i want". When we know that business most likely even if you get into something "good" the question will be what are you willing to sell? Soul is something that will be on the table. In other words,yes. But at any work you sell yourself in the system. The stakes seem higher when more money is in question, but the money too has a price, it is taken from everyone that are fooled to give more and more. For a man to say when stack of money is given and knowingly say - "No." He has seen what it is about.
Very good point. That's similar to the way I always describe it - nothing is cheap in that environment. Even the money you get as the result of performing contractual duties comes with hidden charges.
Amazing work with this video! Dave is one of the funniest human beings walking the Earth and you managed to portray his intellectual side as well as his funny side! Props man, props!
Smartest man and so compassionate and he knows who he is and no one can bribe him into anything or away from his true sejf..that's why he is SO GREAT ..GOD BLESS YOU DAVE

Amazing work with this video! Dave is one of the funniest human beings walking the Earth and you managed to portray his intellectual side as well as his funny side! Props man, props!
It’s amazing to hear his story. There’s always more behind an actor than what you see on TV. I never realized how rough his life was. Wow!
Pure Positive Vibes. 💯🤴🏿👌🏿inspirational.
Wonderful execution. Thank you for producing this. Dave is a light in this world. It's lovely to see an honorable portrayal like this.
It's not crazy to want to be treated like a human being no matter how much money is involved. Much respect to Dave.
Iv seen both those interviews many times but the way you cut and mashed with cutt away clips made it doooope!!!
Keep up the good work
"You can get infamous, but you can't be un-famous" that's legend shit.
Very wise man, you are one of a kind when you can't be bought. Salute!
Thank you for blessing us with this video 🙏🏼
Dave Chappelle is truly one of the kind.
Smartest man and so compassionate and he knows who he is and no one can bribe him into anything or away from his true sejf..that's why he is SO GREAT ..GOD BLESS YOU DAVE
Dave wasn't selling his soul, which is not worth no amount of money!
Everyone knows him - Dave said small town everyone's famous 😂 that hit my core

There's NOTHING anybody can say about DAVE that will degrade him period he stood his grounds as a proud strong black talented creative GOAT.BIG BIG up to you my strong brother.love you to the END.💎💎💎💎
Every time I come back to this video, I feel like I want to hit the like button again. Dave is the real GOAT
Big Up respect, ALWAYS for you.
Dave never sold his soul to the devil like Kevin Hart and D Johnson did.
I would have turned to Oprah and asked her "Oprah, are you not hearing what I'm telling you??"
His level of integrity is off the charts
This Documentary was so well done. Thanks for that visual experience! Absolutely Inspirational ❤️
Very funny man! here from Africa one love brother
Long live Dave. That's all I have to say.
This video was put together so well! I really enjoyed how you added the clips to make sense of exactly what he was talking about. Well done sir.
That was a really good video. Helped bring home even more Dave's story. Keep it up! Liked!
