If you haven't seen the Chappelle's Show where Dave Chappelle did the skit based on Rick James? True Hollywood Story, with Eddie Murphy?s brother, Charlie, not only have you not been truly entertained you probably have no clue why everyone keeps proclaiming "I'm Rick James, bitch!" Now, check out this news: Though plans are currently only half-baked, Dave Chappelle is in early talks to portray the funk musician in a film based on James' upcoming memoirs, Memoirs of a Super Freak.
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Comedian David Chappelle in early talks to play Rick James in a film based on the funk musician's upcoming memoirs, "Memoirs of a Super Freak."
James, 56, best known for his 1981 hit "Super Freak (Part I)," has been working on a book for some time. Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is in negotiations to acquire the rights for a Paramount film.
In addition to his own pop and R&B hits, such as "You and I" and "Mary Jane," James wrote and produced songs for the likes of Teena Marie, the Temptations and Eddie Murphy. The one-time Navy deserter fell prey to drugs, and spent time behind bars in the 1990s for assault and holding a woman against her will. He suffered a stroke in 1998.
Chappelle, who has impersonated James on his Comedy Central series, "Chappelle's Show," starred in such features as "The Nutty Professor" and "Con Air."

I think that if it is even remotely like the James he plays on his show it will blow-up. "Bitch,what did the five fingers say to the face...SLAP!"

I liked it when Rick James and friends kidnapped their maid, tying her up and rapped her over and over again. He is a good person.

Rick James took a break from his music while serving time in Folsom State Prison. He was arrested and convicted for aggravated assult and false imprisonment. These charges resulted from an incident in which he physically and sexually abused his girlfriend, Tanya Hijazi, and another woman. He locked the woman up in his closet and kept forcing her to smoke crack as well as both severely burning her and pistol whipping her. He is currently married to Tanya Hijazi and has one child.
To quote Rick James from Chappelle's Show: "Cocaine's a hell of a drug!"
Now to quote Dave Chappelle from Chappelle's Show: "I'm Rick James, Bitch!"

"America is fucking sick country that makes the black man hate his self."... Oh please...
Stop trying to make a victim out of everyone and lighten up. If you'd ever taken the time to watch even a single episode of The Chappelle Show you'd realize the last thing Dave is a self hating black man. The man is a comic genius period. Stop stomping on his humor with your political oppression.
