LOL. Yea, i know that this sounds bad. But, his death should be THAT big of a surprise to people.

Post by: Everhart07 on August 11, 2004, 06:35:13 AM: I was just watching Chappelle\'s show last night and the title was " Best of Chappelle\'s Show: Season 2 Volume 2 (except Rick James)". Unfortuantely it looks like he will no longer be doing the Rick James skits.
Title: "I\'m Dead, Bitch" Rick James
Post by: KillaX on August 11, 2004, 07:01:45 AM: he didnt play the rick james skits during his best of 2nd season (wouldnt be surprised if james called him and told him to NEVER play them or get sued or something)before he died.

me and 2 others at work loved to say the james lines..... they are FUNNY! our favs are "cold blooded", Unity, and "I\'m rick james Bitch". now james is "cold blooded.......or is it NO-blooded (when they embalm you they take the blood out right?).

It shows respect, and Chappelle seems alot more to me.

it\'s nothing but a comedy stetch. Rick James did not have a problem with it so why should dave pull it. Makes no sense at all.
The show only made James more popular.

Post by: clips on August 12, 2004, 10:57:29 AM: from what i heard it was a medical condition he had..i initially thought drugs also, as alot of musicians go the route of overdosing...sad as he was just recently on the BET awards...

Surely drugs was the reason his body was in such bad condition. He may have not died from a drug overdose but all those drugs he did in the past really f\'d him up.

Like my ass it did. Rick James was king back in his day, Mr. Chappelle didnt affect his popularity, most likely his record sales (if any) could show a slight, if none decrease. Who would want to buy someone who looks like a complete dumbass\'s CD, or nessecarily be listened to?
