They should do this at concerts too.

Everybody wants to record instead of taking in the experience.

I go to comedy shows all the time and I don't mind it.

I'm sure having hits made him more popular but what do I know

Even then, it being self defense makes people not care to investigate what happened since its presumed the victim was in the wrong and dababy was right

Some people did champion him cuz it's rare to see a black rapper not go to prison or anything for something like this

The story might have exposed him to more people but let's not act like a drove of people became his fans cuz he killed someone

Lastly people who find issue with him killing someone (regardless of it being self defense) can also have a problem with homophobic sentiments....

Dave is acting like the same crowd that are dababy fans were the ones trying to "CaNcël" him when that's not the case at all, there was imo not much overlap between the two if at all

Idk I'm disappointed cuz Dave seemed smarter than this

Dave indirectly gon lead to this being brought back up

When the thinkpieces and s*** start rolling and niggas start getting thirsty for content blogs gon hop on this

When the rolling loud s*** first happened there was a thread where they posted stills from the Walmart security video

Regardless Chappelle’s point is still valid. DaBaby had a regional buzz and I was posting him on here to less than a dozen replies before that Walmart vid. Shade room posted him bc of it (after the “I’m not checking in” s*** that went viral few months before that) and then he dropped Walker Texas ranger and then it was over. DaBaby being super nigga is what blew him up but DaBaby being a super nigga is why niggas cancelled him 🤣

His point is everyone could know it happened – and it would only bolster his credibility because it's acceptable to kill a black guy. But, hurting the feelings of certain groups is grounds for robbing a man of his livelihood – which as Dave said, is akin to killing a man. In this case a black man. Which is acceptable.

^

The Walmart s*** def helped him on his rise tbh

Again, since it was ruled as self defense : people assume the victim was in the wrong and dababy was in the right

Most people dk bout this case, they just know dababy has hits

Even then, who's to say that people who found out didn't stop f***ing with dababy for that reason? I remember stating on this site that I get that it's self defense but I think he's trash for bragging about it in his music (I'm not a dababy stan/fan)

Gun violence is also very desensitized in America imo and the story is very rare so people kind of made it an urban legend thing

"whoa u heard what dababy did!"

It wasn't "hurting a groups feelings" dababy spread misinformation about hiv (which is a srs virus that people try to eradicate and prevent from spreading everyday +get rid of the stigma around it which often leads to demonizing the lgbtq +)

And doubled/tripled down on his ignorance until his pockets were affected

the point Dave is trying to make is doesn't reflect reality imo, he really took both situations at their surface level and loosely tied them together by their lowest common denominator

I don't believe it was cuz he killed a black man but cuz he's a black man that got away with murder in broad daylight

The context matters here imo

Dave Chappelle's point is moot when dababy, himself, bragged about killing that black man and thus instilled that in his following who felt comfortable being okey with that loss of a life, rapping along to his lyrics

even then, America not valuing black lives doesn't mean we can't call out spreading misinformation for hiv (which heavily impacted the black community as well, on a global scale)

Black lgbtq exist
Sorry there's no defense league for victims of self defense, unfortunately American society just doesn't care as a whole for that and Dave knows it and agrees with it

Some American states have stand your ground rules which Dave championed in one of his last stand-ups (the joke about shooting a methhead who breaks in his house or sum) - Dave is smart enough to know that context matters, Idk what his motive was framing the situation like this

Dave really wasn't being bright on this
issue if that's his take away from all this imo

Love you, Dababy

There was a classic moment on KTT1 where this guy said something like he's as straight as a 360 degree line

Yeah I agree w you on the part about this being a dumb stance for Dave to take. I was just responding to the bit about Dababys career being helped by the Walmart shooting

And Twitter doesn’t get this clearly based on reactions

But you do notice people get more mad at misinformation than niggas threatening to kill each other on stage right ?

Bill Burr shouts out Kramer
“Watch us learn, watch us grow, watch us take our lumps, watch us push this culture forward.”

Idk all i know is dababy aint even a good enough artist for there still to be discourse about this

??? who threathened to kill who ? (weird comment imo)

what are u even talking bout lmao

show proof that a majority o people against misinformation know about rappers making death threats and champion it and/or don't care about it
I think it's two different crowds entirely and we can be against both

In songs , in tweets in many forms we are okay with it . That’s my point

We got to separate hate speech from a dumbass saying incorrect information about aids and gay s**

It comes down to if you think Dababy speech was hate speech

Gucci Mane smoked a n!gga too and his career got bigger so I mean s***

The same situation affected Da Baby and he got off on self-defense like GuWop so that's a super W

Dave’s my fav comedian oat but he fell off so bad. Every Netflix special has been so mid 😔 miss the old “bum holding train hostage while masturbating” Dave
