The documentary that I speak of is "Dave Chappelle's Block Party." Originally released in March 2006, the film highlighted comedian Dave Chappelle as he supplied a Brooklyn neighborhood with a unprecedented day-long block party. This memorable Saturday afternoon was a celebration of music and comedy, history and community. Aside from Chappelle's witty humor, Chappelle presented a star-studded roster of artists to a diverse crowd. The lineup included the likes of Kanye West, Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, the Roots, and an impromptu reunion of the Fugees. These performers are well-recognized not only by the quality of their music but also by the power and might that their work draws from keeping their creativity uncorrupted.
The documentary showed me how brilliant music and humor can bring us together and help our society surpass the tumultuous times that we face nowadays. Why don't other artists put on events like this?
