A lot of us don't even have the attention span for stand-up comedy anymore.
00:00:02.800
The amount of people saying, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, was crazy.
00:00:07.460
You need Speed yelling at you, flipping around saying,
00:00:30.000
And I stand with my friends in the Jewish community.
00:00:51.360
Chappelle flew to South Africa, I think, or he flew to somewhere in Africa for seven years
00:00:57.360
after avoiding a $100 million contract from the same people that Kanye was talking about.
00:01:02.300
When you talk about how they control the media,
00:01:04.220
and you talk about how these contracts are meant to keep you a slave,
00:01:08.120
Dave Chappelle was talking about that back in, like, 2004.
00:01:12.460
He knows you're supposed to say that statement to avoid getting in trouble,
00:01:16.660
But how genuine was that, I stand with, Jewish people's statement?
00:01:25.080
I got to tell you guys, I've probably been doing this 35 years now.
00:01:30.940
And early in my career, I learned that there are two words in the English language
00:01:36.260
that you should never say together in sequence.
00:01:44.600
I've never heard someone do good after they said that.
00:01:48.620
He's smart. That's why he always said the elites.
00:01:50.700
That's why he always said Hollywood, the executives.
00:02:00.260
and normally when he's in trouble, I pull up immediately.
00:02:25.660
I'm going to give me some rest, but when I wake up,
00:02:57.780
I have a lot of Jewish friends, so I'm not freaked out by your culture.
00:03:01.240
I know a little bit about it just from hanging around.
00:03:02.900
I'd be like, yo, let's go out at school tomorrow.
00:03:28.720
and he gave me an $100 bill for a pack of cigarettes in the middle of the show,
00:03:32.380
and afterwards he signed it and stuff like that.
00:03:33.880
I had it up on my wall, my setup in my room, but I just moved there.
00:03:39.200
And basically he gave me this lesson saying that you need to remember to be kind
00:03:46.100
I'm like, let me get the pack back in the middle of the show.
00:03:47.660
And then he looked into my eyes, and then he said, like, young man, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:52.160
and basically here's a $100 bill because you gave me an act of kindness
00:03:59.200
then you get to avoid a lot of problems like Ye is facing right now.
00:04:12.420
A year ago, I'd seen him on a podcast called Drink Champs.
00:04:20.700
Noriega and them were there, the rappers that I love,
00:04:22.740
and they all had their gold chains and stuff on.
00:04:34.300
Billionaires don't wear their money on their body.
00:04:41.120
And then the most recent Drink Champs interview went from being the richest black man of all time
00:04:56.780
But when he woke up, he went on Drink Champs again.
00:05:48.580
But if they're Jewish, it's a coincidence and he should never speak about it.
00:05:58.520
Kanye got in so much trouble, Kyrie got in trouble.
00:06:12.280
Kyrie, Kyrie Irving posted a link to a movie that he had seen on Amazon.
00:06:22.240
But apparently this movie had some, I don't know, anti-Semitic tropes or something.
00:06:26.600
And it was some weird title like from Hebrew to Negro or something.
00:06:37.020
And then the list of demands to get back in their good graces got longer and longer.
00:06:41.400
And this, this is where, you know, I draw the line.
00:06:45.140
I know the Jewish people have been through terrible things all over the world.
00:06:48.840
But, but, but, but you can't blame that on black Americans.
00:07:00.540
A fair punishment would be he should just post a link to Schindler's List and y'all write your own captions.
00:07:10.160
It's Kyrie Irving's black ass was nowhere near the Holocaust.
00:07:31.140
She said, mental health is no excuse for that type of language.
00:07:40.940
Listen, okay, I don't think Kanye is crazy at all.
00:08:19.980
There's a lot of black people in Ferguson, Missouri.
00:08:35.900
and your mind might start connecting some kind of lines,
00:08:55.800
because Chappelle has been talking about this for years,
00:08:59.400
and it's pretty much the synopsis of his whole career,
00:09:02.040
rejecting the establishment and doing his own thing
00:09:04.080
and being independent and not letting himself sell out.
00:09:08.280
He's going to have some really good insight at the end,
00:09:11.380
You guys clearly, you don't appreciate stand-up comedy enough.
00:09:14.240
A lot of you are just, like, too deep into the internet.
00:09:42.520
who I don't want to speak badly of because he's black.
