I can imagine that he became a little crazy when he heard that line quoted to him for the 10,000th time.

**A-wreck** · 05-12-2005, 12:40 PM

And for the record. Dave never said BEEAaaaaaTCH. There is no A in it. He said "i'm Rick James Bitch"

Thanks A,

I didnt want to be the one to point that out.

Dave is smokin crack & talkin smack.Production will continue after rehab!

**slim** · 05-12-2005, 12:50 PM

There is "I'm Rick James bitch!" and there is "I'm rich Beeeaaatchhh!" the latter is associated Chappelle's production company and the former is, well, about Rick James.

**Albinø Rhinø** · 05-12-2005, 01:01 PM

And to reallllllllly clarify, the 'I'm rich....' is a sample from the group Roosevelt Franklin.

Fun fact!

**snowsprite** · 05-12-2005, 01:15 PM

lol...Artie is spot-on about that!

**A-wreck** · 05-12-2005, 01:28 PM

O.k. Now to really clarify all of the previous clarifying.

At the end of his show where you hear someone say.."I'm Rich Beaatch" is not sampled from some band. He sampled a charchter from his show. The episode where the do the newscast about black people finally getting their reparations. The first character interviewed is the guy who bought a truckload of cigarettes STRAIGHT CASH. At the end of his little part he says "I'm rich Beaatch." Then he honks the air horn on the truck. At the end of Chapelle show when you hear the guy say that, you also hear the air horn a little bit.

SO THERE....

**slim** · 05-12-2005, 01:47 PM

A-Wreck has fully clarified the situation.

**Cornholio** · 05-12-2005, 02:01 PM

Either way, it's the least funny overquote ever.

Stop saying it, unless you're actually Rick James. Bitch.

**KevinDineen** · 05-12-2005, 03:49 PM

I went to see him at the improv in Brea last year. Before the show, the announcer said anyone yelling that quote would be thrown out. Chapelle comented during his show how old it has gotten and that he couldn't even drive down the street without 10 people telling him that they are Rick James, bitch!

Publicity stunt.

No way, he has no need for it. His 1st season dvd is the best selling tv show dvd set of all time, outselling Seinfeld and The Simpsons and he just signed on for $50 million for the third season.

**biggins** · 05-12-2005, 08:06 PM

Hes probably just depressed from smokin' too much weed.

He did release a statement last year that production of Chappelle's Show was being halted because his new Islamic beliefs wouldn't allow him to indulge in such base humor. Clearly this was not true.

I'm not saying this is a publicity stunt, however, as I really think he's probably just wigged out from being fucked all the time and doing so much (he's a pretty prolific guy). My $.02

**iceman** · 05-12-2005, 11:25 PM

I could get fucked all the time for $50 million a year and be cool with it.

If I remember correctly, BumZ was willing to do it for far less.

I have also heard that he's a serious perfectionist... really likes to get his shit dialed. Thus you can imagine the stress he was under after the first two seasons and the $50 million contract.

You know, I was just thinking the other day that I should be happier. Maybe this explains it.

**freshie247** · 05-13-2005, 10:44 AM

I heard he was in a padded room .Holiday Inn in S.Africa,wearing an extra long sleeved white jacket.Maybe since it's Dave,they made him a custom black straight jacket!

SO THERE....

Your thinking of his character Tron, who got hot in a dice game to displace Bill Gates as the richest man in America.
