Dave Chappelle has officially kicked off his residency at the historic Radio City Music Hall in New York City and in between shows he decided to stop by Hot97 to discuss his signature style.
During the interview with Ebro and crew on Ebro in the Morning, Chappelle revealed why he loves to mix music and comedy and why his love of Hip-Hop will always play a major factor in who he selects to work with him.
“Just like you all I am a fan of music,” Chappelle said. “So like with Chappelle Show, a lot of these people are friends of mine, if I don’t know them directly then they are friends of friends who I have a great amount of respect for. ”
In regards to his status in Hip-Hop, Dave states that he’s not an ambassador, but simply a fan who loves to spread the sounds of good music.
“I wouldn’t say I am an ambassador of Hip-Hop, I would say that I am a fan who happens to know some really cool people who do something that I really love.”
Dave also talked about working with Rock on the set of SNL when the election results were announced, stating that the entire set had an eerie feeling.
“I remember that night like it was yesterday because the set had such an eerie feeling. They were projecting the results at Rockafeller Center on the ice and the windows were open because I was smoking so I could hear people cheering and disappointed through the window. So when the results were actually announced, no one really cared about being funny because there were folks on set clearly devastated.”
