And, another...the Dave Chappelle story where Dave Chappelle and his producer got to go meet Prince after the famous Chappelle skit.
Key: p=prince, jw=Jehovah's Witness, Ahmir=?uestlove's real name
they were so amped that prince invited em i didn't have the heart to tell em
the 1984 cat they idolize will not be in attendance.
so while in the elevator to his hotel i tried to give em the 30 second
crash course.
once i mentioned p being a JW ---the laughter lasted for like 14 seconds...
which was a time waster cause i didn't wanna say nothing once we went in the hallway
(p usually got security in the hall and i didnt want it to look like i was talking (crap))
so i was like "dog dont cuss, dont ask to drink nothing, its gonna be real tense
and uptight, we should just say hi and leave.....oh and another thing (the door opens---mind you my back is turned cause im trying to talk as fast as i can so we dont look uncomfortable)....
"and what is that ahmir?"
---there was no hallway..
(the door opened right in p's living room and i was none the wiser)
---i turned around and almost jumped out my skin.
a room with about 10 jw's in a circle quietly waiting for me to answer P's question.
*dave saves the day
"he told us that you will NOT make us pancakes!!!"
*silence
5....secs.....
then laughter......
wheeeeew
I can't get the image of Prince asking "And what is that, Ahmir?" like Dumbledor or the lady from Gryffendor just busted Harry Potter talking smack about them. HIlarious.
