Rather then celebrate his success with an exclusive party, Chappelle invited thousands of folks to enjoy his favourite bands at a free concert, featuring a dream team of hip-hop artists - including Erykah Badu, Common, Dead Prez, Big Daddy Kane, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, the Roots, Jill Scott, Kanye West and the big surprise of the night, the reunited Fugees. This is the party of the year.

The film is broken up into sections: the first begins days before the block party, with Chappelle visiting his hometown of Dayton, Ohio, where he hands out "golden tickets" to the show and signs the town's marching band as performers. He wanders around town, inviting people of all walks of life from his city to join him in New York for the concert.

It's quite a collection he finds, ranging from two golf loving African-American teenagers to a middle-aged Caucasian convenience store owner, who isn't sure what to wear to a "rap concert." Yet it's all presented with such catchy enthusiasm that the film somehow dissolves the line between audience and performer.
