Dave Chappelle doing a surprise set in Los Angeles? We are not worthy!

On Monday, January 15th, 1500 or Nothin’ hosted their annual 1500 or Nothin’ Day, throwing a huge benefit concert at their 1500 Sound Academy in Inglewood, California. The mayor of Inglewood appointed Jan. 15th as the designated day to celebrate this extremely talented collective of producers, songwriters, and musicians.

To date, 1500 or Nothin’ has worked with all the elites in the music industry, including Beyonce, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Nipsey Hussle, The Isley Brothers, and many more. This highly-anticipated event was the brainchild of co-founder Larrance “Rance” Dopson, a way to give back to the community in a major way. Guests were welcomed with live music, food, and good company. 

While the musical performances were the main attraction, no one expected Dave Chappelle to come on stage. He even sang Biggie’s “Big Poppa,” and sang multiple records. In true Dave Chappelle fashion, he also hilariously admitted to being drunk on stage. 

Actress Angela Bassett was also in attendance; it was her first appearance after receiving an Oscar.

Other talented musicians include Terrace Martin on the saxophone, DJ Battlecat, Brittany Barber, James Fauntleroy, and more. The beauty lies in the fact that everyone who performed was off the strength of Rance’s relationships, pulling up for the love and, again, giving back to the community that birthed him.

All in all, this was a beautiful celebration of music and pure talent. Shout out to 1500 or Nothin’ for giving folks an evening for the books!

Dave Chappelle released a new stand-up comedy special, The Dreamer, on Netflix a few days ago. In it, he devotes some time to poking fun at Lil Nas X, but what did he say?

What did Dave Chappelle say about Lil Nas X in his new Netflix stand-up special?

During the special, Chappelle recounted his first time meeting Lil Nas X, saying:

“I know a dreamer when I see one, and I’ve met many powerful dreamers in my life, none more powerful than the man who calls himself Lil Nas X.

I met this n**** at a party, I had no idea who he was. But the minute he walked in that party, I knew I was in his dream. Everybody in the party was another dreamer. Everyone was famous, but when that n**** walked in, he was dressed like C-3PO. He was shining! And everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, there he is! That’s Lil Nas X!’

I didn’t know who he was. For some reason, out of all them dreamers, he walked right up to me. And he said, ‘I tried to get you in my video.’ I didn’t know what the f*ck he was talking about. I said, ‘What? What video?’ And he was just looking at me like, ‘You know what video,’ and walked away. And I watched him walk away. I said, ‘Man, this n****’s having a very powerful dream.’”

Elsewhere, he went through a fictional scenario of a teacher asking young Lil Nas X what he wants to be when he grows up, saying:

“What do you want to be when you grow up, Lil Nas X?’ That n**** stood up in front of the whole class: ‘I want to be the gayest n**** that ever lived. I want to do a music video, slide down a stripper pole, all the way to the depths of Hell, and suck the devil’s dick at ten o’clock on BET while all the kids are awake and can see me.’ Shockingly, that was the only dream that worked out.”

On his new Netflix stand-up special The Dreamer, Dave Chappelle devotes some time to discussing Lil Nas X. He told the story of meeting him, and there was more beyond that.

He set up a fictional scenario of a teacher asking a young Lil Nas X what he wants to be when he grows up. Chappelle said, “What do you want to be when you grow up, Lil Nas X?’ That n**** stood up in front of the whole class: ‘I want to be the gayest n**** that ever lived. I want to do a music video, slide down a stripper pole, all the way to the depths of Hell, and suck the devil’s dick at ten o’clock on BET while all the kids are awake and can see me.’ Shockingly, that was the only dream that worked out.”

Lil Nas X caught wind of this clip on X (formerly Twitter), sharing it and writing, “yall gotta let call me by your name go, me and the devil broke up 3 years ago. yall acting like children of divorce.”

He later continued to call out his naysayers, tweeting, “I love this constant cycle the world has with me. when i started making music yall told me i was just another twitter rapper. then i made the biggest song of all time. yall called me a one hit wonder. then i dropped one the most streamed albums of the year with 3 top 5 hits. now yall saying my new sh*t not finna do nothing.

Dave Chappelle Targets Trans and Disabled Community with Jokes in New Netflix Special

by
Dave Chappelle The Closer Netflix

As long as Dave Chappelle has jokes, the LGBTQ community will be a target. In his new Netflix special, The Dreamer, Chappelle not only targeted the trans community but had some habs for the disabled community as well.

“If you guys came here to this show tonight thinking that I’m going to make fun of those people [trans people] again, you’ve come to the wrong show,” Chappelle said. “I’m not fucking with those people anymore. It wasn’t worth the trouble. I ain’t saying shit about them. Maybe three or four times tonight, but that’s it.

“I’m tired of talking about them. And you want to know why I’m tired of talking about them? Because these people acted like I needed them to be funny. Well, that’s ridiculous. I don’t need you. I got a whole new angle coming. You guys will never see this shit coming.”

What was the angle? Jokes about the disabled community because, as Chappelle sees it, “They are not as organized as the gays. And I love punching down.”

You can see the trailer for the special below and see it in full on Netflix.

Dave Chappelle Takes Aim At Trans Community & Disabled People In New Netflix Special

These days, Dave Chappelle is known for standing by his non-PC approach to comedy, and his new special is no exception. The Dreamer arrived on Netflix today, raising eyebrows and getting social media users talking. The special features various jokes about the trans community, disabled people, Will Smith’s infamous Oscars slap, and even Lil Nas X.

One of Chappelle’s jokes centered around him meeting Jim Carrey on the set of Man On The Moon, in which the actor stars as Andy Kaufman. “I was very disappointed because I wanted to meet Jim Carrey and I had to pretend he was Andy Kaufman all afternoon. It was clearly Jim Carrey. I could look at him and clearly see it was Jim Carrey,” he explained, citing Carrey’s method-acting. “I say all that to say … that’s how trans people make me feel.”

He later joked that in an attempt to mend his relationship with the trans community, he wrote a play about a trans woman. “To be honest with you, I’ve been trying to repair my relationship with the transgender community cause I don’t want them to think that I don’t like them… You know how I’ve been repairing it? I wrote a play. I did. Cause I know that gays love plays. It’s a very sad play, but it’s moving,” he described, “It’s about a Black transgender woman whose pronoun is, sadly, n***a. It’s a tear-jerker. At the end of the play she dies of loneliness cause white liberals don’t know how to speak to her. It’s sad.”

Chappelle didn’t stop there, however. He went on to joke that he’d now be targeting disabled people. “Tonight, I’m doing all handicapped jokes,” he declared. “They’re not as organized as the gays and I love punching down.” What do you think of the jokes Dave Chappelle made about trans people in his new Netflix special?

Danny Brown Believes Dave Chappelle Doesn’t Like Him Anymore

Danny Brown is unquestionably one of the funniest rappers around, so it’s curious to hear how he’s butted heads with other comics. In fact, to hear that Dave Chappelle apparently doesn’t like him is one of the most surprising but simultaneously hilarious “beefs” to come up recently, although it’s not that serious at all. Apparently, this stems from when the rapper gave the comedian a joint before his stand-up set. Chappelle got too high, bombed, and apparently Danny refused to answer his calls, which he denied was the case. In fact, the Detroit MC even said “F**k your feelings, n***a” on his podcast and even referenced this on his new album, Quaranta.

“Smoke with Dave Chappelle, the n***a think I laced him,” Danny Brown rapped on “Dark Sword Angel.” “Knew it was the pack, he started talking about spaceships.” During a recent conversation with HipHopDX, he looked back on this and clarified that there’s no real tension or animosity here. “I think he don’t like me no more,” the 42-year-old chuckled. “I would love to [talk to him again] though. I just respect him so much, you know, and it just taught me a lot. Made me respect stand-up comedy a lot more, I will say that.”

Danny Brown Speaks On Dave Chappelle: Watch

Elsewhere during this talk, Danny Brown also spoke on his relationship to stand-up comedy as a whole. “I can just be funny and talk s**t, but to actually write good jokes and s**t, I still don’t get it,” he reflected. “My favorite stand-up comedians was always the ones that, you know, you could laugh at and they had jokes, but they always leave you with that little gem. It’s kind of like you’re learning something, too. I want to be that good, and that takes some time. But, you know, with comedy you can be 80 years old and still be on stage cracking jokes. So I still got time.

Danny’s Still Got That Comedy In Him: Watch

“I had all the say [in his VICE TV show Danny’s House‘s content],” he added. “But I just was so nervous at the time, so I didn’t really take that much advantage of it. They wanted me always to improv and go off-script, but I would always just stick [to my script] ’cause I was just so nervous doing it, man, you know? It’s a different time, man. Now, I’d be cr*zy.” For more news and the latest updates on Danny Brown, keep checking in with HNHH.
