You’ve all been invited to Dave Chappelle’s star-studded block party–now that it’s over.
The comedian is releasing a DVD of Saturday’s party and concert in Brooklyn, which was so shrouded in secrecy that partygoers had to sign up online and be bused in from another location, billboard.com said. That could be because Dave was sitting on one of music’s biggest surprises of the year: the on-stage reunion of the Fugees, including members Wyclef Jean, Pras and Lauryn Hill.
Kanye West, Common, Mos Def and Dead Prez also performed, as did Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. Between acts, Dave read funny poems, battled on the mic with a Mohawked man and impersonated R. Kelly on two songs, according to mtv.com.
The concert film and documentary, shot by “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” director Michael Gondry, is due next year.
