Faizon Love hating on Dave Chappelle again at Breakfast Club interview
- Thread starter TooTrilla
- Start date
Dave ain't funny to people if they are ignorant, proud of it, and never ventured out of the ghetto or wanted to. To those people they might even say Faizon Love got more cred for playing Big Worm 22 years ago than Dave.
FUCK THOSE PEOPLE.
Those people are why I moved out of the hood.

Dave's improve at def jam >>>>> Faizons whole career. Fuck big worm
Seems like this thread turned into the battle of the hood niggas vs the suburbanite niggas.
Shit is lame.
But at the end of the day, Faizon made some valid points.....but it just seemed like a little hate was mixed in.
Also,,,he made some great points about the Monique situation.

Glad I watched this for myself.
The majority of conclusions drawn in this thread do not match mine.
First off, I f*cks with Faizon. I like him as a comedic and dramatic actor. I became a fan on Parenthood. Big Worm is a role I did not even recognize him in until YEARS after Friday came out.
Second, Faizon made many more accurate obsevations than not. I disagree with how he talked of Dave. Faizon is intelligent and should understand that Dave is a great human comedian. He is not a self proclaimed G.O.A.T., even though he ain't gonna argue with you, other comedic G.O.A.T.'s said he was, so who are we to argue it? He played his own talent in the beginning of the interview.
Lastly, he was right about damn near everything else: the murkiness of #metoo, Robert Townsend possibly not understanding his own power, whippin' ninjas asses on sight that rape, him not having the "look" for this time in Hollywood (talent always trumps IMO), and releasing your sh!t independently.
Not for one minute am I agreeing Dave is a kept comedian for white people...based on his work, the sh!t don't even sound right.
I have ALWAYS rocked with Cedric the Entertainer since he hosted Comic View. He was my favorite off of Kings of Comedy.

You, Sir, understand comedy.

Cedric is not funny.
Chris Rock of course, Donnell Rawlins, Capone, Rob Stableton, shit even Gary Owen
I like a Mike Epps in movies he's horrible after the first 10 mins as a stand up
Chappelle had 2 specials that just dropped one was completely trash to the point had to turn it off then I thought maybe it was just me so I went to check the reviews and thats pretty much what the majority thought
But we not talking about Faizon being funny we talking about Dave not being so funny to a group of ppl
@Non-StopJFK2TAB I believe you, for you.
Your appetite for socially conscious, intelligent comedy is not fixed to your socioeconomic background.
Evolution, or the reverse, of thought is constant.
And when has this EVER "not" been the case?

Yeah dude definitely has something personal against Dave. If he just doesn't think Dave's funny okay. But most of what he said was lies and bullshit. First season of Chappelle's Show wasn't funny and nothing was memorable? The black klansman skit was from the first season. And if the second season was funnier...okay. Shows should get better as they go along. Seinfeld wasn't popular when it first came out.
That stupid crap about white people made Dave, but he goes on about Eddie and Kev being great. Eddie first got famous on SNL...you can't get whiter than that show! And Eddie's first few hit movies he was the only black person in them. Until Coming to America which was movie number 10 or some shit. And the reason Kev is in all these movies is because he's popular with whites.
That nonsense about why wasn't Dave in Friday...huh? You not funny unless you were in Friday? Chris Tucker, John Witherspoon, Faizon, AJ Johnson, Bernie Mack, Yvette Wilson and the chick that played Nia's crackhead sister were the comedians that were in Friday. So nobody is funny except those people, I guess. Crackhead Sister is selling out Radio City Music Hall for 10 days straight, right.

Dave Chappelle's The Bird whatever WAS subpar, I'm not disputing this. Who doesn't find Chappelle funny outside of that one "sit down" (I don't consider that a stand-up)? We really talking about REALLY hood people? Fuck them
That's great and all but you're in a small majority of black folk who did before DCJ.
A small insignificant specific type of people
Insignificant in every sense of the word.
To everyone else he's brilliant
Killin Me Softly was great! I don’t get way he going in on Dave. And he was riding hard for Kevin Hart though. It just seems to be some personal shit going on with that.
I know hella black folks that fucked wit Dave and still do.
And for Faizon to say the first season of Chappell’s Show wasn’t funny is blasphemy and hate. That first season was qouted and referenced heavily.
Dave isn't funny to ME. Never has been, but that's my opinion.
*puts cocobeauty on ignore*
I’ll say this about Chappelle, and I like Chappelle.
I get where Faizon is coming from, I just don’t think it needs to be said and he’s not 100% correct. Some of his statements are real observations and some of it is his opinion.
This is my opinion and my observation...
Dave was never referenced as a comedic “Genius”, until the last couple of years. Dave is funny, but he really wasn’t followed heavy in the Black community before the Chappelle Show.
Side note: “Yes, I know everyone on BGOL knew of him and thought he was the greatest before the Chappelle Show”. I’m speaking about the general public. Dave’s been doing his thing for over 20 years.
Before the Chappelle show, his name wasn’t mentioned in the “Black Community” as big time comedians. It was “Bernie, Steve Harvey, Cedric, Katt and several others over the past 20 years. There’s more but I can’t remember them. Whether you think any of them is funny is not the point.
The first season of The Chappelle Show was funny but the second season put it on the map to the general public. That public that had never seen his standup and had to look back and see what he was all about.
Bottom line, what Faizon is saying. Dave was doing comedy and he wasn’t the most popular or sought after comedian. He did movies that weren’t really popular. He had the Chappelle Show that did good the first season and classic the second season.
Faizon doesn’t think Dave is funny and that’s his opinion , comedy’s subjective.
Basically he’s saying, Dave had comedy specials in the early 2000’s. Did the Chappelle Show, didn’t have any big time comedy special for 10 years and all of a sudden he’s a genius and a legend. He doesn’t understand where that came from?

Was that the one in the small venue in San Fran where he sat most of the nite and smoked? If so i thought that one was outstanding.
Ban.
Like i said, these guys pulling shit out they ass.
Very first episode at that. Faizon sounds like an idiot.
I have a question for you people that say he was not popular in the black community. Were you taking a survey on which comics were? Maybe ya'll just werent up on him
I knew about him, didn't really hear my friends speaking about him back then.
So because you and the people you know were "Up on him", you all represent the "Black Community"?
It goes both ways.
True. I guarantee because you weren't up on him doesn't mean black folks weren't. It's probly the other way around.
At the end of the day we can all agree to disagree. And can't nobody tell you who to like and not to like. But for this fat bastard to say that Dave's stand ups are trash....that's all hate nothing more. And had the nerve to fix his mouth and say Charlie Murphy's special was classic. RIP to the big homie, but that was one of the worst comedy specials I ever saw my life.
I thought it was funny, but I didn't think it was his best work. I definitely like the other one better, I saw that one again last night. Even that effort was funnier than Tiffany haddish, which I saw earlier that night
at Charlie's special. I didn't see it so I can't comment. I might have to check it out just because you said that I agree I do believe Faizon was hating, he offered his opinion. I just don't think he should've offered it, there's just no need to speak that way about another comedian.
I like Dave, I'm only saying I can understand where Faizon is coming from on some of his points.
Everyone in this thread may have a better memory than me, but I don't remember people calling him a "Comedic Genius" and "Legendary" 10-12 years ago.
Once again, I like Dave. I just don't remember any of that.
but you know an opinion is how you feel, right?
a fact is something quantifiable.
you cant prove the quoted statement as fact.
I know what I said sparked a lot of this but it's not about Hood vs suburban or nothing like that its simply about being funny,that has no color that has no area or boundaries,either you are or you aren't.Give a lot of these comedians a Mic and tell them to be funny in front of Urban,suburban,rural or foreign and that what makes a comedian a comedian because he or she will sink or swim and the majority of the people that some of you toss out there will sink.
Most of you are bandwagoner's who just go with who's hot or who they tell you is hot and Dave is that second nigga in line and he's just brilliantly a genius and some more shit because of his show,which was good past his first second because of the pieces he added and it worked while pushing the boundries of what could be done without being tacky and mockery.Dave has his moments,by just being Dave,simple as that.The same could be said for Hannibal Buress,he said his opinion about a heavy weight in the business and them white folks pushed his ass ahead of the line and I still don't know how or why them mention him as much as they do.
I can go back to the 1980's when I was born and watch vhs tapes of HBO specials of Whoopi Goldberg,Sam Kinison,Robin Williams,Eddie Murphy,Louie Anderson(he's just funny without trying),Charlie Barnett(RIP),George Wallace(underrated),Thea Vidale(I've seen her in person),Bill Murray,Rodney Dangerfield ,Mr.Bean and one of my favorite of all times was the late Gene Wilder and now his offspring Zach Galifianakis....It's just not a hood mentality that appeals to me,funny is funny and there are different types of funny.I go further than that and take it back to albums that I listen to as a child in the 90's that I had no clue of who these people were but the shit was funny like the late Lawanda Page who was talking about her pussy being smooth and creamy like peanut butter......
It's just an opinion,it's not the end of the world ......when they sensor comedians who usually laugh at their or other's pain,problems and thoughts and you might as well just kill em off that would be the end of them and that art form

That's your opinion and there's nothing wrong with that. There's people that say Kevin Hart, Katt, Mike Epps and enter any other comedian isn't funny.
Comedy's subjective, there thousands and tens of thousands at some of their shows. Lots of people find them funny, if they don't do it for you there's nothing wrong with that.
oh they absolutely were...should’ve gone back maybe 15 years when the chappelle show hadn’t aired yet...but folks were already referring to him as a genius while the shit was still initially on the air
Me too, I watched it over the break as well. I gave it a shot mainly because of Russel Peters. I had just finished watching his movie "Indian Detective", so I was curious as to what a Stoner film from him would look like.
That's kinda why I labeled it "My Opinion".
So tell me about your "Facts" in this discussion.
