chappelle just signed a deal to do an entire rick james movie for comedy central i heard too.

Biatch,
I just read that Comedy signed him to a $50 million deal. I think it was for 2 or 3 years. I believe the movie is part of the deal. Thats a heck of a deal. Good for him.

Speaking of Chappelle. Does he still live in Ohio? I remember an interview with him a few years back on Stern and he said he lived on a farm in Ohio.

i had heard that ohio thing on howard again recently (sometime this past year) but i honestly don't know if that was best of stern or a new one. i only get to hear about 20 minutes of stern a day anymore.

He lives in Yellow Springs, His dad had some kind of connection to Antioch University there. R.I.P. Rick James, thank you for introducing the world to Super Freaks.

Ya know, I always wondered how many times the word "bitch" could be used in a thread...

I feel we are soon to find out!

He lived in Yellow Springs. I saw him a couple times at Young's Jersey Dairy - one of the best places on earth. He moved to NYC when he got the deal for Chappelle's Show.
