Dave Chappelle on Def Poetry Jam

[@MichaelUrvan]

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

[@woe1008]

so then your also saying hes absolutely average than...lol

[@0555pink]

+BurningFangTiger not "Average", But relatable.....

[@cameronscott5368]

[@HoneyNutHijoles]

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

[@woe1008]

Dat Would Be Nice

[@askannav2094]

This poem should be made into a short film, which in turn is based on a book, which itself is based on the play of the poem.. !!

[@youngsuit]

Y'all know the illustrations are gonna be hella racist

[@andrewveto]

menace 2 society?

[@jacobphan9553]

it's a shame well never hear the other poem

[@tulkooo]

@mortdeus what? No matter what they would pick he'd still tell the same poem, who would knew whether it's new or old? There never was the 2nd poem

[@floydharrison2000]

there was no other poem bruh lol its showman ship.

[@DoctorMcHerp]

It's a set up so that he could drop the "if it sucks, you asked for it" line.

[@winekelly5326]

I like your hat ,it’s like a bicycle seat.

[@davidndichu398]

@mortdeus i was hoping someone was with me; it's called comedy genius.

[@walterparker2641]

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

[@0555pink]

It's a joke he's done many times, he just made it rhyme.... Still good, just saying

[@mrherron7755]

I’m sure he had one poem and made people think there was two. Truly how would we know. But it was super dope tho

[@boopy12g]

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

[@juvenross1]

what a genius poem! dave my man chapelle

[@RedneckDeerhunter252]

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

but all blacks do look alike lol brown curly hair brown eyes

[@pjshock8110]

@Flesh AF yeah if I saw two white people and they had the same characteristics then I would say they look Alike same with black people

[@ocachisu]

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

[@omario4823]

He came back and boy did we go bananas. Your comment is prophecy fulfilled

[@Jybgame]

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

[@TheSelfHelpTube]

You said doodoo!

[@vinceenrique3616]

2020 and dave chappelle is the goat

[@PrayTellGaming]

"get out of my face brack man" lol

[@Aprylbaby]

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

[@Bak3dB3an]

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

[@Filiku]

You make a mistake brack man!

[@hamonryehd]

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

[@Katlady001]

" buy sompthing... hurrrdy up" lol!

[@gracecroley]

that punch line was a kicker.

[@naughtybeast96]

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

[@EclecticSceptic]

Thankfully you two saved the day!

[@neosandy]

I miss def poetry jam so much

[@Usualeclectic]

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

[@xhasht]

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

[@kevinverehrergottes6306]

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

[@nandoboii415]

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

[@TheCWOLtv]

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

[@curtistinemiller4646]

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

[@GreenmanCGM]

Dave Chappelle is pure Genius

[@clockworkartist]

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

[@elvistwatty]

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

[@driley4902]

loved this!

[@TSGS21]

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!

[@slak96u]

Unreal... please.

[@Trudon]

hes just dat damn good...legend

[@fwantsy]

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

[@edlover2761]

We call those people 🚔 kmsl 🔥

[@IM1337iPwn]

killer line to end on

[@DubCityDiaries]

Genius. I bet there was no other poem

[@Bazwhalie]

Dave, you kill my life talking that funny shit!

[@playazcliqrecordings]

Love it. Dave chappelle a ras genius.

[@FreeDWay]

I wanna hear the old poem

[@WilkineBrutus]

Its so ironic to watch this. I'm black American in teaching English in Jeju, South Korea. I have long dreadlocks and boy, I GET LOOKS! lol Its been mostly positive for me though...you receive the energy you put forth.

[@PrayTellGaming]

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

[@isaiahtrevino2608]

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

[@isaacao254]

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

[@marc15yo]

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

[@Gloabl]

Rest in peace 🙏

[@chakaramaster]

His jokes aren't personal, he's a comedian. Shits funny.

[@willchan83]

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

[@rmwaller]

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!

[@fanta5778]

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.

[@ag2407]

"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...

[@WilliFlow117]

Dave is very clever,if you notice!

[@gvothebarber7003]

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

[@jayj9440]

[@rickjames21]

This man is a genius....

[@chickenlittlest]

Hahaha! Absolutely love it!

[@TheEurAsian123]

That is Mos Def. This is is show and he is the host, hence the title Def Poetry Jam. Mos Def is a very known musical artist and political influencer. Ain't nobody as dope as Mos Def.

[@thatlsk]

Emilija Beelia you're not very smart. It's Def because Russell Simmons puts the show on and he started Def Jam.

[@LikeAGentlemanPlease]

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

[@MsBeall502]

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

[@SwaggerLikeUz]

Wordd up Dave!

[@ericsanchez2268]

[@ericsanchez2268]

It's one in all

[@St1ckyGreeN]

Best ending lol

[@sandritoisagee]

[@plostyle786]

Haha he did his korean/Chinese material in rhyme.

[@utsx]

[@Bhatch2007]

@MrCunai I love how you could tell the difference.

[@a10miletooth]

@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

[@RUSTYBOXCUTTER]
