This 2005 classic film is a hilariously hype chronicle of comedian Dave Chapelle’s efforts to organize the ultimate free block party in Brooklyn. In addition to Chappelle performing previously unreleased material, the film includes live performances from a stellar roster of artists including Kanye West, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Mos Def, Common, the Roots, and -- reunited for their first performance in over seven years at the time -- the Fugees. Part sketch comedy and part musical interlude, the film is a front row seat to what Chappelle has proclaimed "the best single day of my career!"
