Starting out with "Dave Chappelle was decapitated" was a confusing point to begin with, then going into "a muslim being called a crackhead" I was all 'what's this guy going on about?'

It took me a minute to figure out that he meant Chappelle had been figuratively "killed" by hollywood.

He goes on a bit of a loop, but it all makes sense in the end.

Chappelle talks about Hollywood a bit in this clip:



....which refers to this story: Comedian Martin Lawrence Runs Into Street, Yells at Cars

I only became aware of Comedy Central fucking over Dave Chappelle from the Kat Williams video you posted, and the discussion it sparked on reddit.

Where you chose to start the vid, around the 3-minute mark, IS where the meat of the video starts.

So what i gather is Daves old contract stipulated that his new contract would pay him 50% of what he had made Viacom. They then said it was to much money and that in itself invalidated the promise/clause made in the old contract. They then offered him 50 million for the new contract instead of the 250 he was promised from the old one. After he turned down their money they started a character assassination of him in the media for fear he was going public with how they were screwing him. Also i assume they were pissed he wasn't going to be making them a shit ton more money and they were going to punish him for it.

In one of his new stand up specials on Netflix (The Bird Revelation) he makes a comparison of what happened to him by recounting a story from Iceberg Slim’s book, Pimp: The Story of My Life. http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/dave-chappelle-pimp-story-bird-revelation-close-read.html

There's something about Dave Chappelle approach to comedy that no matter what he talks about, he will get people to listen and laugh.

Really is a shame that his show didn't go on longer than three seasons.
