[@paultomanio539]

Same here ,no doubt

[@Mdevlin0]

Same, something reminded me and made me want to look up the song and listen to it again. I found the production version, but you can’t deny the rawness of this version. 💯

100% He blacked out and went all the way in on this version.

[@chrisspivey5457]

Hands down

[@dj4-play]

Recall watching this as a kid and thinking it was another Chapelle skit. Laughed at first with my brother. By the end it shook me and I often think of this song in my daily life. Chapelle Show is underrated for moments like this.

[@444Xano]

This is how I remember this

[@RoarOfJahLion]

The head bangs are why I f wit this version

[@josecano4156]

FACTS

[@erikjackson2997]

This lives in my head rent free

[@usedblazers]

This went over my head when I was younger. Revisiting it with a new brain & set of ears, you wonder how this made it to tv. Love this.

[@mookiestewart3776]

This came out when I was 13-14 now that I’m in my 30’s I can’t believe they let this air. Kind of gives me hope tbh. Everything he is saying is 100% correct

[@davidgomez9674]

Took the words out of my mouth

[@terrinceautry]

This is just how revolutionary Chapelle Show was. It was your generation's Arsenio Hall. He did the same thing back in the 90s

[@Katmama66]

Watching in 2024. Uncommitted.

[@BrickTop06]

Song absolutely took me and shook me when I heard it on the show when it first aired. Still hits.

[@jackmehoffjr.2125]

one of the realest songs ever wrote

[@catalanoL]

Can’t help but shed a tear when listening to this... So powerful

[@panthervoodoo]

Man, I’m wiping my eyes as I write this. This anthem has always touched me really deeply. Something has to change.

[@catalanoL]

@@panthervoodoo We need to be the change we want to see. It all starts with us and I am confident the future will be brighter than our past. Stay strong brother, love from the UK

[@dmiinus2548]

Same😬

[@titothebarber686]

I’m still feeling this in 2023 “I know some so poor - that when it rains that’s when they shower😢. Powerful “

[@Dtown2lit]

2024 check in 🤞 hit just as hard

[@carlover9988]

How does this only have 10k views? One of his best performances

[@notabene7381]

Big Brother is watching.

[@MZPCreations]

It gained like 80k views since you posted. This song hits different man

[@tealsnake93]

So good

[@Redhotshawntexas]

Not saying much.

[@rudy_82]

“They’ll call you Krazy when they can’t call you a liar.” That’s the truth right there!

[@wafflcoptr]

It's songs like this that remind me why I'm disenfranchised like millions of others.

[@roach-housetv1439]

The good old days Chappelle was a big backbone of comedy that helped us through rough times for me and my family growing up in Dallas.. rip Johnathan.. I can't believe how fast it all flew by... Dam...

[@grumpymonkeyenterprises6413]

Best version of the song

[@blainechild9068]

You have exited reality

[@grumpymonkeyenterprises6413]

Then what’s the best version ?

[@FNG_Dinero]

Had to find this song again after that recent presidential debate please wyclef save us your our only hope 😢😂

[@ShiiitIDK]

I still remember seeing this when it aired...I was in highschool. So powerful.

[@ToohotforHD]

If I was president...

[@josedejesus765]

@@whoRUcallinpsycho I’d get elected on Friday…

[@nuzzyfugget9492]

Listening to this in the first month of 2024. Ate an 8th of some mushrooms going into the new year, the trip started getting a bit intense. I decided to cut on the tv at about 3am in the first few hours of 2024 to see the end of a Dave Chappell episode that I hadn’t seen in probably 15 years, than this song started playing and a whirlwind of nostalgia came to me. This song hits so much different being a 30 year old husband and father compared to being a junior in highschool. Took me to a really good place mentally. This live version is much more raw than the studio recorded version, minus the insane acoustic solo wyclef Jean played for the poor at the end.

[@jayp.6166]

This give me goosebumps every time I hear it

[@MPB059]

My favorite song that was played on Chappelle show!

[@chrisdrechapiama8993]

Still listening in 2023 >>>

[@andycasas4172]

Wyclef’s so soulful and it shows in his jamz. This jam here is 🔥🔥 and it couldn’t be sung by a better person. Wyclef Jean’s the man!!!

[@ubaubaubauba]

2023. Wyclef is a genius.

[@kentonbohenko2026]

He speaks for all of us. Regardless of race or creed anyone who speaks truth against the regime will suffer. That's how we know we aren't free. Never were.

[@big_oh_tea]

I love this version

[@ericantisell]

I am so thankful for the high-definition picture quality of this song and performance that have moved me so deeply for the past 18 years. I'm also very pleased to be reminded of the gambling show Bonzai.

[@ericantisell]

I don't remember Bonzai very clearly. I remember "Place your bets now, how long will David Letterman continue to shake this guy's hand"

I know in my heart that when people see and hear the truth the world will change. Why else would they hide it from us. It’s still on

[@tealsnake93]

Perfect performance. Will live in infamy

[@malcolmaiken993]

And I’m still in amazement this didn’t come to fruition when Obama was President. I know it wasn’t for lack of a lot of people wishing it’d happen

[@youmayhaveheard7316]

Obama did more for everyone else than black people

This performance helped shape my childhood.
