Re: Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle planning comedy tour together?
Something else that I wish would happen is the true story of what really went down to cause Dave to quit Chappelle's Show coming out. I know some things have been said on that, but him and Neal have always hinted that there was more to it. Who knows if that will ever happen though.Originally posted by bradtxmale

Re: Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle planning comedy tour together?
That's a good interview and it does generally answer the question of why he left, but what I was talking about was based off of this. It just seems to me that there's more to the story when what's been put out there. That there was another reason or a bigger reason for the whole falling out. Maybe that's just me wanting a different answer than what the truth really is though. I don't know.
Anyways, from that link I posted:
CAC: I think people had a false and unfair impression of how and why the show ended. I think people believe Dave just freaked out and went to Africa and there was obviously a lot more going on...
NB: I think the thing that was unfair... I think at some point Dave has to talk about it, because he has always been very vague about it. My perception, my experience of it, wasn't Dave's. We were the golden goose and Comedy Central was like, "Do whatever you want, we just need the first episode by (a certain date)."
I think the thing that I want to counter would be that somehow I wasn't a good friend to Dave. I still get Twitter comments about it like, "Why did you sell Dave out?" I didn't sell Dave out. We were doing a show, we had the relevant show on television, and he walked out on it without telling me. And so when he comes back, I don't owe him a phone call. He owes me a phone call, if anything. And also, we don't even need to talk. It's like, "What do you want to talk about?" We were friends, clearly that disintegrated in the months leading up to it.
When it's a famous person versus a not famous person, people are going to side with the famous person 100% of the time. If you don't believe me, ask the O.J. jury. Or the Robert Blake jury, or the Phil Spector jury. They don't like to think that famous people do human things.
My experience was, it wasn't fair, and then it was extra not fair when Dave went on Oprah and started flagging me as this not good friend. You know, for a black artist that's beloved to go on TV and say he was victimized by a white corporate structure, that is like white people nectar, it's like white, liberal nectar, like, "Oh my God, this young black man has been victimized." Dave did real well from the show, you know. There was a huge benefit to Dave. So the idea that somehow he was victimized... My experience was he wasn't victimized and that it was a matter of pressure and needing to eject from the pressure.
And the fact that somehow I wasn't a good friend is, you know, garbage. Because first of all, no one knows what the relationship is like, and no one knows what led up to him leaving and what led up to him negotiating and divide and conquer from Comedy Central's end and all that stuff. Again, no one is ever really going to know my side of it...
CAC: They might now.
NB: Yeah, but even I'm still being vague enough that they're not going to know about it. But just the idea that there are 2 sides to it, I would appreciate. Again, people love Dave and so do I, but in terms of our friendship, you don't really know what you're talking about. That's not you, that's just aimed at everybody.
You know what's messed up? Is that I met Gayle at the correspondents' party and I felt really sold out by Oprah. The fact that Dave went on her show and slammed me, and no one from her show warned me about it. No one from her show said, "Hey what's your side of it? Do you want to come on? Do you care to comment?" Or just, "Hey, you're going to get slammed, just know that." There was nothing from the great humanitarian Oprah Winfrey or her show. And I wish I said something to Gayle because I always really felt victimized from it. I was completely blindsided. In fact, I wasn't watching it, and (Amy) Poehler and Seth were. And Poehler texted me, I knew it was going to be bad when Poehler texted me, "Hey just so you know, we love you." I was like, "Uh oh. This isn't going to be good." That was in 06.' I got slammed yesterday on Twitter about it.
That's the media. People are lazy. First of all, a lot of journalists are lazy, and then like the people from Oprah's show not telling me or asking for my side of things, and readers are lazy in that they take it at face value. Which I don't blame them, but it's taken me a long time to realize that if I see something in the news or read it in the paper, that it doesn't necessarily mean stuff. I just see it as, "Oh, they're manipulating, they planted that, someone from the administration said this, and then they leaked the story."
It's all orchestrated, you know. And I don't think it's orchestrated by the Illuminati, I just think it's orchestrated by press contacts, and people who want to get ahead of stories and all that stuff. It's like you doing this interview, you're not doing this out of the kindness of your heart, you were pitched me by a publicist. Once you heard, you were like, "Oh yeah, I'd love to interview Neal." But you weren't making phone calls like, "How the hell do I get in touch with Neal Brennan!?" That blew my mind the first time I realized people had publicists. I was like, "Wait, so people magazine doesn't just write about people because they like them?" They write about them because they get told to write about them, basically.Last edited by BlueNGold; 03-26-2012, 11:53 AM.Originally posted by bradtxmale

Re: Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle planning comedy tour together?
This is from an interview Chappelle did last year. Around 7:30 mark he talks about it a bit.

Brennan was on the Joe Rogan Podcast last year as well and talked about it more. NSFW

Those two guys hosting that radio show in that first video are such idiots trying to force these lame jokes out because Chappelle is there.
Never realized he was actually tweeting. That's awesome.
EDIT: Actually, nevermind. I haven't seen that Neal interview and that gives a lot more perspective on what went down.Last edited by BlueNGold; 03-26-2012, 08:56 PM.Originally posted by bradtxmale
