Russell V6. Dave Chappelle’s Block Party (2006)
Back in the summer of 2004, when Dave Chappelle’s career was at a fervent all-time high, he decided to put on a block party in Brooklyn. That’s about it, really. But what makes Dave Chappelle’s Block Partyso great is just that: simplicity. It’s a sleek blend of comedy and hip-hop, two things that actually go together like peanut butter and jelly but don’t often get a chance to intermingle. And along with Chappelle’s exceptional taste in hip-hop, the live performances (Kanye West, Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, The Fugees, etc.) are solid as well. Come in expecting a funnier-than-usual music concert film and you’ll be more than pleased.
