Dave Chappelle's Block Party
Review date: 2008-07-21 Rating: 10 out of 10

Back in September 2004, comedian Dave Chappelle held a secret block party in a run-down area of Brooklyn with performances from hip-hop greats such as Kanye West, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, The Fugees, Erykah Badu, The Roots and Dead Prez with some guest appearances from Big Daddy Kane, John Legend and Jill Scott.

This DVD has an excellent mix of comedy and music and is well edited to have the lead up to the day blended in with the concert itself, showing Chappelle back in his hometown in Ohio where he is inviting people to the show and then in Brooklyn where the set up of the stage is being discussed and built up.

The music is incredible, as you'd expect from such amazing artists. The behind the scenes footage is also really interesting, showing them in rehearsals and messing about with Chappelle. When Chappelle is walking about giving his tickets out to people who normally couldn't go to something like this, it is quite a heart-warming display of generousity that you just don't see enough these days.

Overall this is a highly recommended film for any fans of hip-hop and for anyone who enjoys any of Chappelle's other work. 5/5 for both comedy and music content.
