VIDEO: DAVE CHAPPELLE SAYS FAME IS MUCH LIKE A DRUG ADDICTION

Comedian Dave Chappelle stopped by and talked about his recent stand-up show where he was booed off stage. The former Chapelle’s Show star talked about what really happened, his thoughts on artists and comedians today and how he still has no desire to return to television:

It’s addictive. Being a famous person and all that. It was an enjoyable part of my life. It was good when it was good, probably much like drugs. But then there’s parts of it you don’t want. Listen, a guy does drugs for how long of his life? A year? Two years? He could spend the next twenty years trying to get over a good drug to have. And show business is like that. TV was fun. Television was fun.

Well I’m sure a lot of us can agree that we miss his comedy show. Who has his seasons on DVD?

MUSIC NEWS: LIL’ WAYNE & DRAKE COLLABORATIVE ALBUM CONFIRMED / TEAIRRA MARI SIGNS NEW DEAL

0After all the hype and success of Jay-Z and Kanye’s big collaborative effort, Watch the Throne, Cash Money’s Baby takes matters into his own hands by confirming that Lil’ Wayne and Drake will put out a collaborative album of their own, boasting that after their solo projects, The Carter IV (hitting stores August 29th) and Take Care (dropping October 24th) are released, the Young Money millionaires get to work on their own merger.

“Wayne and I recently talked about the Weezy/Drake collabo album,” Baby told XXLMag.com. “That’s definitely going to get done.”

“It’s older versus younger,” Baby said. “I listened to a few songs off Watch the Throne and it feels like an older feel to me. I think with Drake and Wayne, they young. They young cats. You got 23 and 28. Then you got Jay-Z and them, who are older and really on their way out the game. Then you got Wayne and Drake and them, who are still youthful to the game. So, it’s two different types of music all the way across the board.”

On their way out? Baby also added:

“But what they’re doing is great. I think it’s great for the game, great for the business, great for retail as a whole. I just think when Wayne and Drake get together is going to be something real special also because we more youthful.”

A Lil’ Wayne and Drake album could be cool, considering that the two have had great chemistry in the past. However, it’d be interesting to hear their take on it, especially given the content on Watch the Throne. The confirmation from the Cash Money CEO seemed a bit like taking shots at Kanye and Jay.
