Black Star & Dave Chappelle on Drink Champs | Extended Cut - Full Episode

N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this classic flashback episode we chop it up with the legendary Black Star (Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli) and comedy icon, Dave Chappelle!

This extended version of our episode includes more stories, more laughs and more shots from everyone!

The crew dives deep into the roots of artistry, independence, and the game-changing impact of hip-hop and comedy. They reflect on the grind, the legacy of their craft, and the choices they’ve made to stay true to their vision. From dropping their new album No Fear of Time exclusively for their core fans to breaking down the pitfalls of the mainstream industry, these icons share gems about authenticity and ownership.

Dave brings his comedic genius, sharing wild stories about performing, meeting legends like Prince, and his Ohio sanctuary. Black Star talks about their creative process, their timeless chemistry, and the evolution of hip-hop culture. The vibes are raw, funny, and inspiring as they sip Japanese whiskey and give flowers to pioneers like DJ Premier, Big Pun, and Kanye West.

This episode isn’t just a conversation; it’s a celebration of culture, storytelling, and staying real in a world full of noise. Whether you're here for the bars, the laughs, or the life lessons, this is one for the books.

Make some noise for Black Star and Dave Chappelle!!!
