I'm Rick James Bitch....
Word on the street is that Dave Chapelle has decided to not continue doing the Chapelle Show on Comedy Central. This news makes me sad. His show was fresh and funny, and though it was racially charged, was humorous unlike "Mind of Mencia" which is currently trying to fill Chapelle Show's shoes.
When word came out this spring that Dave stopped shooting episodes and went on his spiritual retreat to Africa...myself, like many fans of the show were disappointed at the delay to the new season. But now, at last...it seems the new season will never come, except in DVD form.
The strangest part of the whole deal is that he had just signed a 50 million dollar contract to continue the show for a few more seasons...money that I'm sure he'll have to give back to the network in lieu of new episodes. What puzzles me is this...why didn't he just take the money, half-ass new material for the next few years, and laugh all the way to the bank?

Some people just can't do that. I think he was one of those perfectionists, it would have killed him. Mind of Mencia isn't terrible, it's decent mostly, but how much material can he possibly have left?
mind of mencia makes all latino people look stupid. it is one of the worst shows i have seen in along time and cannot hold chappeles jock.
