Leave it to Dave Chappelle to round up several Hip Hop legends for a surprise show. On Saturday (June 19), the iconic comedian closed out the 20th edition of the Tribeca Film Festival at Radio City Music Hall with the premiere of his forthcoming documentary, Untitled: Dave Chappelle Documentary.
Academy Award-winning filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar introduced the film with, “We live in a small town in Ohio. We have a neighbor. His name is Dave. We see him at the grocery store and on the street. When Dave came to us with the idea, we were immediately struck by the challenge to tell the story of our part of the world during the pandemic and the national reckoning on racial injustice. This was a historic moment and we really wanted to chronicle this place and this time, it just felt right.”
But apparently that wasn’t the only trick Chappelle had up his sleeve. The roughly 6,000 people in attendance were then treated to a 30-minute performance featuring Fat Joe, Q-Tip, Ghostface Killah, De La Soul, ASAP Ferg, Redman and DJ Clark Kent. Unfortunately for fans, cell phones or video cameras weren’t allowed inside the venue so there’s no live footage of the show.
