Car just broke down? Yeah.

Short bursts.

Hey, yo, Dave!

What happened? Oh, I'm sorry. You're--

We stopped the engine. We can't get it started again.

Yo, Dave!

Uh--

Put too much gas in it. That's what I'm saying.

I had the-- the butterfly wide open.

Try it now. Try it now.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

How much of this did you spray in there?

He said, "How much of that did you spray in there?"

I don't know what his answer is.

That's right. Saturday, coming at you!

Most High, we thank you just for being here with us.

We thank you for this day, God.

The sun is shining. They said it was supposed to rain.

But, God, you letting your face show that you want us here.

You want every soul here right now.

We thank you for this message that you're sending through all these people.

We thank you for bringing Dave to bring us together.

We dreamed of this day, and we ask that you just utilize our souls...

and our spirits and our voices to glorify you in all that we do.

We don't forget people that's poor. We don't forget those that's at war right now.

We don't forget our comrades that's in prison. We don't forget our children, God.

And we praying that you can just be through us and live through us...

so that we can raise our people up and raise ourselves up.

We put you first in all we do.

And now just bless the energy of us and the people out there...

and allow your message to beat through us.

Amen. Amen.

In the name of Jesus, in the name of Allah and the Spirit of the Ancestors. Amen. Ashe.

All these people-- What we all have in common?

I think we all have a very personal message that they try to get across.

And it's about more than just making money.

All these people that are coming to this concert,

before I ever met 'em, I was fans of theirs.

So to work with these people, in this kind of setting, it's a dream come true.

This is the concert I've always wanted to see.

Feels good to be home, y'all.

This is my local coffee shop. The journey starts here.

Preparing for game day Saturday.

We got to get some people to come to this concert.

I don't think that'll be so hard.

Hey, Bobby, guess what he offered us. What?

He said that there's gonna be a rap concert in Brooklyn,

and if we wanna go, he'll give us tickets.

Man, I can't rap. Dave, you know better than that.

You don't have to rap. But I'll get up there and try.

All you gotta do is listen. What?

How often does a brother get a chance to chill out with the probation officers...

on some social stuff. Man.

And some social-- No problems.

I ain't even-- I ain't asking you to turn around, drop me a cup of urine.

None of that. No cups, man. Yeah. No peeing in the cup.

It might look like a lot, but this is it.

These are the golden tickets.

Wee Willy Wonka didn't even give out this many.

This will get you guys there.

It'll get you a hotel in New York for the night.

All right.

And it'll get you into the concert.

And it'll get you a ride back.

Okay. We get in our Cadillac like we-- My Cadillac, I should say.

Like we always do. And we go drive, go golfing.

It's this little corner store that we always go to for snacks,

and the next thing we know, we see Dave Chappelle.

I was like, "Oh!" Oh!

Chappelle-- He grabbed this ticket.

Out of nowhere. He pulled it out his ass.

We was like, "Oh!" Oh!

We were like, "Where did that come from?"

After we got done seeing Chappelle, we went on golfing.

And we going on to the hole number 11.

Just imagine, we feeling like this high.

Man, we feeling top of the world. Top of the world right now.

You can't crush us. Can't crush none of our feelings.

There's a house to the left. It's deep over to the left.

And the tee right here. He had to take a piss. So he respected the house.

You know, he respected it. I was down into some woods somewhere.

On some adventure stuff. And he went on this side. He handled his business.

Right. Everybody does it on the golf course. It's nothing.

Man. But--

Some guy comes out and just says,

"You nigger!" I said, "Oh!" I said, "No."

Man. It's a new era though.

I never thought somebody would say "nigger." Old guy was so old school.

I said, "Oh, my."

And then, I'm up here just holding him back.

"No. No." If it wasn't for him, it'd been over.

'Cause, you know, that's his private property. We want to go to Chappelle on Saturday.

It was for you, Dave. For you.

Watch your back. You almost bumped into a pole.

I never steer you wrong. Anyway, I come here and get cigarettes.

Nice lady, Miss Hall, owns this place.

I had the pleasure of meeting her before.

I wanna see if she'll come listen to some rap music.

Just 'cause she's not a traditional person to a rap concert.

Look out. Pole. I'm telling you, I'll never lie to you.

So, you're ready? Saturday night? Bring your Timberlands.

I-- And get-- get the dance.

Do you think I would enjoy that at my age, really and truly?

And I just wanted people from around the area that I live in...

that might not normally go to something like this-- That's right.

to get a chance to experience something like this.

So I figure I'll go to the store.

I come here. I buy my cigarettes sometimes in the morning.

I just wanted you to be able to come in and do your business and leave, so--

No, that's why I live here. Everybody treats me like--

But inside, I was screaming, "That's Dave Chappelle!"

Hi. Hi. How's it going?

Do you wanna come in? Yeah.

Come on in.

I really don't know what to take to a rap party-- block party.
