The inevitable "I'm Rick James, BITCH!" soundboard. Those of you without cable or any clue what all the fuss has been about can catch the (realplayer) video here.

  • Too bad the college slacker that put the soundboard together didn't spell "I'm" correctly.
  • Now all we need is a Prince soundboard. "Why don't you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?
  • excellent forks! That episode was one I caught about 2 minutes into . . I thought "man they spent a lot of money to get Dave Chappelle to look like Rick James . . ." and later as it went on . . "holy crap - that is Rick James! . . Bwhaaahahaha!" too funny.
  • I can't watch the video, darn it... are we talking about Rick James, late seventies/early eighties punk-funk hero here? The man who is THE ANSWER to the sexmusic thread a little way up the page? Or a different Rick James?
  • No, flashboy, the same Rick James, bitch!
  • "Cocaine was a hell of a drug..."
  • We are talking about THE RICK JAMES, as presented by Dave Chapelle flashboy. SLAP BITCH!
  • flashboy: specifically a guy who works on Chappelle's show is Eddie Murphy's brother. He has all these stories of going to parties where Rick James is absolutely wasted and doing crazy things. In each scene, Dave Chappelle plays the younger Rick James (usually inserting the catch phrase) and then they cut to interviews with Charlie Murphy and the real Rick James about whatever the incident was. He's got another one of playing basketball with Prince and the Revolution that I'd love to see . . .
  • *had no clue; thanks everybody for the explications*
  • I thought *I* was Rick James, bitch!
  • Zipped download of the "Rick James" schtick for windows media... aaaaand here's the Prince bit on Realmedia. Priceless.
  • oh man too much - thanks forks!
