Dave Chappelle on Def Poetry Jam 

I really want this to be made into an illustrated children's book

Absolutely brilliant. He breaks down barriers and makes the everyday obvious funny, like many great comedians.

it's a shame well never hear the other poem

It would be crazy if he really just wrote that while backstage...I can actually believe it.

Dave so intricate he said “Brack man” when making the Korean voice cuz most can’t say L 😂 gotta love it

"Some people say all black people look alike. We call those people the police" LMAO get-um Dave.

if dave chappelle came back today, the crowd would go wild. that's how much we miss him.

"get out of my face brack man" lol

even though i don't generalize, i do do percentages and averages. LOL

what a genius poem! dave my man chapelle

You make a mistake brack man!

Chappelle is a social critic and commentator. That's why comedy and the arts are so great, when you know how to use the them. "Art which isn't political is just decoration" - William Shakespeare

I love me some Mos Def🥰 and Dave of course.

2020 and dave chappelle is the goat

Thankfully you two saved the day!

that punch line was a kicker.

loved this!

I miss def poetry jam so much

really a talented & intellectual dude in the most unpretentious way. long live chappelle.

" buy sompthing... hurrrdy up" lol!

hes just dat damn good...legend

Wow he pulled two bits out of that bit and spread them out between 15 years...amazing!

The ending was so great, and sadly, still true...

I miss DEF POETRY JAM...if they bring it back ima be on it

I first listened to this when it was pretty much just uploaded haha

Dave Chappelle is pure Genius

What a genius! People will only give him the legendary, iconic status, which he deserves already, once he is no longer with us. Give this man a statue in every city for all the voices he represents in today's society, who is taught/committed to keep their mouths shut

Love it. Dave chappelle a ras genius.

killer line to end on

Chappelle is the champ

That is great!!

Hahaha! Absolutely love it!

Wordd up Dave!

" even though i don't generalize, i do do percentages and averages"

Rest in peace 🙏

We call those people 🚔 kmsl 🔥

Unreal... please.

Love it

the thing about dave chappelle is the fact that he turns what everyone takes so seriously (racism) and makes it into a joke.. what he does is what not many other people on this planet have ever done. he brakes down barriers through comedy. He is one of my true heroes in this world

dave chappele the truth

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Genius. I bet there was no other poem

he's so high!!

It's one in all

I wanna hear the old poem

Dope ending

love his outfit and hat, it’s like early 2000s west coast black culture

I think anything Dave Chapelle writes old or new would be damm good....

Funny and he ended up using a version of this in a stand up

This man is a genius....

Dave, you kill my life talking that funny shit!

the “old poem” would’ve been the same thing but it was still amazing

My fuckin hero

xD look @ dave with his hat tryin to look poetic. he's so hilarious!

Everybody stay blessed and prayed up Yeshua loves y’all ✝️🛐‼️💙

Still true in 2020!

I WANNA HEAR THE OTHER POEM!!!!

Best ending lol

@MrCunai I love how you could tell the difference.

Everyone laughs, I laughed, but I just love how every Chappelle joke has a message. Dave Chappelle is like a civil rights activist who can get away with saying things because he converts he's speeches into comedy. If he sat with a reporter and say I am mad that people are getting harassed by police and the Korean man at the liquor store, he would be banned,hated, maybe even physically harmed. I'm just glad he makes me laugh at the bull shit we go through in this GREAT country of ours. GBA!

you betcha!

chappelle is a god

Dave is very clever,if you notice!

so glad i didnt read comment before the vid so nobody had to spoil it

damn he is so fucking good :)

now thats whats up!

Nice Page

Chapelle lets me hear let's hear it

Imao!!!

That's some of the best 'spoken word' i've seen. Too much of that stuff is attempting to be too deep too much of the time. Life can't always be full of hurt and anger, can it? Man, Chapelle is a fkn genius. Nice use of Iambic Pentameter too!

How he clears his voice before he reads the poem is so fucking hilarious

So true

Lol. If he really wrote that back stage he's a comedy genius

BORIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!

lmfao XD i luv this

@fatalmaverick Mos meant that in the short time he's given to make an introduction he wouldn't be able to do Dave justice because there's so much to recognise

@GigabyteX4 mos def....one of the best mc's of all time....acting is really his secondary skill

Man, He's the greatest. I would take tickets to see Dave Chappelle over Chris Rock or Russell Peters any day.

"you made a mistake brack man" lmmmao

I do do percentages and average! I bout fell out! 😂😂😂😂

Hong, Son, , Moon, Cho, kim, and choi are korean last names. Yoon Soon-Bok, Kim Myong-Suk, and Jeon Myung-Sun are first names

Chocolate city is a parliament reference. Great record.

"China man!" LMFAO! XD

congratulations and thank you.. you got the top comment now so my watch wasnt ruined

yup, I just thought of that

other than Phuong being a Vietnamese last name this was so hilarious. I'm korean and i saw someone add subtitles to this to share with Koreans and i saw a lot of offended people haha. then again Koreans in korea don't understand the racial dynamic happening in the US.

LMFAO is that Damien Lemon at 2:54

Mos def

"im not stealing in the least, but if you shopping, and you know someone's watching you shop, that shit will make you look like a theif" hahahahahaha so true...

the way he talk is funny...

Within (Sigh's poetry books)

Classic

Haha he did his korean/Chinese material in rhyme.

when is it usually on and what time

INCREDIBLE SHIT LOL

l love it & this is a poem becuz a poem tells a story in certain forms of writing he rhymed and then didnt rhyme thats a type of poetry f

great

bwrack man !!
