“He’s so smart, he doesn’t want people to know how smart he is” -Maya Angelou

"How? You are my grandson. How can I not listen to you and be elevated by you?" When we hear leaders giving hate speech when the young are calling for unity and accountablity we know how far we have strayed from humanity. This is a beautiful interview. This is how the world should be.

God. That face. That smile. That voice. If she looked at me, eye-to-eye like that, I'd be crying. What a treasure.

"Sometimes an Iconic figure began as pop-culture figure."-Dr. Maya Angelou Dave Chappelle praises Dr. Maya Angelou for being a national treasure and ends up becoming one himself. -Real recognizes Real

God damn. Maya Angelou picks her words so carefully so that each word has an impact.

A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim. Maya Angelou

"Bitterness,is like cancer,it eats upon the host, it doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure," Maya Angelou.This was the best 47 mins i have used watching a clip.

Real recognize real. This interview is beautiful

What's very inspiring about Dave is his consciousness. He could have had a rise and fall without his control, riding the waves just to make more money until people just didn't find him funny anymore, but him simply saying he knew things weren't right when someone laughed DIFFERENTLY? I mean... this is a man that knows his craft. And when he smells BS, he knew to walk away. Not many of us can do that, and my appreciation for him grows.

This is probably the most beautiful thing I've watched on youtube this year...

"I'm an American and most of the time proud of it. Even when I am displeased with what my country is doing I am still an American who is displeased. Fortunately being an American I don't have to whimper I don't have to whine I have the right to protest" - Maya Anjelou

I was delighted to hear Dr. Angelou say that Dave asked for her. What a wise, sensitive soul he is.

As a little white girl raised from age 4 to 12 in the deep South and aware and confused by what I witnessed and heard, I appreciated so much what Maya Angelou says about anger. I went back to the South in 1963. At age 72 I still have deep anger which emerges when someone denies the experiences of history and herstory. This video is profound! It will benefit anyone who sees it. Lets show it in the schools of our country.

Whoa, that line about anger vs. bitterness, that one caught me off guard

My God, She speaks like a walking poem. Its beautiful and brilliant.

I never knew this interview took place until now. Two Icons together, brilliant minds. This interview was a blessing.

I love when she called him grandson

An oracle of our ancestors........rest in paradise mother.

Even when Chappelle brought up Malcolm, her utterance of "Oh my dear..." was so wholesome.

They are speaking to each other's hearts while feeding our souls. Now that's really something!

Honestly. I speak from the bottom of my heart. *If i could give this video a thousand likes, i would click beyond that.*

“I think that Dave Chappelle & I are soulmates” -Dr Maya Angelou What a spirit ✨

I'm not American and I don't have dark skin, but you don't need those generic identifiers to recognise how incredible these two humans are

When Maya Angelo tells Dave Chappelle, how can I listen to you and not be elevated, WOW!

I can't say why, but any time she smiled it brought such peace to me

The way she truly thinks before speaking respecting the power of each and every word is the most admirable trait ever.

I love how calm dave is speaking with Dr. Angelou. You can feel the reverence.

Hatred is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

this is one of the best conversational videos on the internet. so grateful to have stumbled upon it

You can see Dave is mesmerized by Maya.

His face while he's listening to her is so pure. 💗 This was altogether beautiful.

Maya Angelou is one of those unique folks where even her everyday conversation sounds like it was written beforehand.

the tupac one got me bad.. this interview was nothing less than amazing.

Worth watching for so many reasons but her story about breaking up a fight between Tupac Shakur and another man on the set of Poetic Justice and going up to him and saying, “....do you know how important you are?” and reminding of what it took for him to be there and when she was done he was in tears. She tells the story with no ego. Later his mother writes Angelou a letter telling her she might have saved his life. She calls him a soul mate:) Dave is deep. He is in control. Even the silence between them is comfortable....

Like a Mother conversing with her son just beautiful and very spiritual after watching this conversation Iam proud to be a true fan of Mr Dave Chappell

One of my most prized possessions is an autographed first edition copy of "Why the Caged Bird Sings".

I want to speak and communicate like her. She's not an average smart. She is just gifted human being.

R.I.P. Dr. Maya Angelou Dave Chappelle such a lucky guy to have a private learning moment with Dr. Maya Angelou...I wish I could have!

I love her 2-Pac story. 😭😭 She brings out the gold in people. Truly an Icon. 🙏🏼💕

Did you hear her laugh when Dave played the keys, she knew exactly what he was playing. Wow. She knows soooooooo much.

For people in the comment section ... Katt Williams brought a story about Dave into world that says the following. That Dave had made the studio 500 million dollar with Chappelles show. To which the greedy bussiness men said that: 'he made too much for the contract to be valid'. So they offered him ten percent. To which Dave will have supposedly said: 'what do you think my fans are gonna say, when they hear that you offer me ten percent of what I made you'. They took it as a threat. And in reply they, figuratively speaking, said: you're fans will think that you're a crazy crack head by the time you get home. And before he got back home off the plane from Africa it was sold to all the bug news outlets. His buddy Neil(with whom he made the show): supposedly sold out to lie and keep quite about Dave. And the truth. Dave got publicly demonised, and even blacklisted. As Katt said: 'they decapitated the king in front of us'.

I don't understand why people would think this is an odd pairing... Dave Chappelle and Maya are accomplishing similar things using a different form of art.

At 33:33 Dave is really feeling what Maya had just told him about it's ok to walk away from money that can take your dignity and integrity away. At that exact moment he is absorbing that and Maya knows he is really feeling that connection with her and she laughs. That is too cute.

I noticed a very minor detail.....she asked Dave, "May I tell u about the painting?"....She is a LEGEND yet she still was so humble and graceful enough to simply ask him b4 she imposed upon him. I sure Dave wouldnt have mind. But the respect and adoration displayed here truley tuggs at my heart strings💕💕👑💕💕💕💕👑💕💕💕👑💕💕💕💕👑

I love how Dave is really paying attention.

"It is my intention to lift you up." - M. Angelou

Excellent🙏 Her voice is mesmerizing and their obvious love and respect for each other so heartwarming💜💜

Dave’s smile is like that of a 4 year old boy sometimes. Like - how cool is it that I’m here!

"Nothing will work unless you do"- the magnificent Maya Angelou

The story she told of her encounter with Tupac sent chills

I love & revere this Woman, her spirit, her energy are the closest thing to an angelical, righteous and holy being. Truly an honor to have been introduced.

The way she described words as being "things" was almost scary.

Her normal conversations are in axioms and proverbs. She is wonderful

She is truly a woman of grace. It's beautiful to see their connection and how much she inspires him.

What an incredible women, so full of experience, intelligence and grace. Would have been a life's honor to have met her.

Never have I watched something as beautiful as this documentary / interview teacher meeting student and student listens and takes in the wisdom that is given lovingly and freely. I loved every bit of it. It was beautifully done. Thank you🙏.

Be angry not bitter...I am enlightened. Thank you for posting. Thank you Dave and Maya inspiring and essential.

I am truly a better person for having watched this. This was a meeting of minds that I didn't know I wanted to see, but I am really grateful I did. Just wow. Dr. Angelou can make you feel every word that she said, I understand Dave saying he was scared to talk to her lol, but he is incredibly perceptive, an honest and therefore amazing comedian, and their interaction really worked. How amazing for Dave to meet someone with such a foundation in black arts, poetry, and history. Just amazing

I literally tear up everytime I hear Dr.Angelou's voice. I loved and still love her.

Discovering this iconic interview 8 years later and it’s still so relevant today👌🏾👌🏾

Maya Angelou Rest in peace.

Maya's reaction at 16:14 changed me life. Her love for Malcolm expressed so deeply. So moving. I want to love people the way she loved Malcolm.

Shes brilliant, what an excellent statement. " If your not angry, you must be a stone. But dont be bitter, bitterness is like a cancer." I love the way she goes on to say " talk it out, sing it out, dance it out, create art". Beautiful lady.

"But the thing is, you have some place where nobody...kith nor kin...can take you beyond...somewhere...in the bend of your elbow. See? Nobody." Straight up freestyled poetry in the middle of a conversation. Even the air in the room was blown away...that's why Dave couldn't speak.

You can see the respect dave has for her. bless her. classy lady.

RIP Maya Angelou...she was IS a national treasure.

this should be in all high school classrooms

Whoever you spend time with can make a difference

I think Maya was telling him she understood his struggle with fortune. People were saying "Why would you give up money? Now that screws it up for the rest of us" but Maya knew that with some people like Dave he just couldnt cross that line, if he did compromise his integrity it would have made him unhappy. So its neither here nor there. His decision worked for him and he should not have regrets. He has peace of mind regardless of popular consensus.

I teared up when she was describing slaves on ships laying down before I knew who she was talking to. After I knew who she was talking to I got chills. No wonder his music's subject matter changed

My favorite writer interviewing my favorite comedian! How did I not know about this until today? Thank you for posting it! RIP Maya

42:33 The Love in Dave Chappelle eyes lets me know his respect for this moment.

Maya Angelou. Something about her smile takes me just short of bringing me to tears.

I've been feeling so down lately I needed this inspiration.

A wonderful example how the senior wise ones speak, converse and resonate so eloquently with the younger peers and vice versa. And how Maya and Dave have shared so much positive feedback in mind, body, soul and spirit from each other that day. Both shining a light in one another's soul. This is part of the circle of life. This is how it should always be; leading each other to clarity, greatness, understanding, love, calm, caring and eloquence.

The love between these two people is incredible. The way Maya enabled Dave was genuine and empowering. And Dave was the proper blend of respectful, understanding and supportive.

This was such a great chemistry between these two incredible minds and intellects! I love Dave because his material is aways from another sphere then down to earth. I love Dr. Maya Angelou because her thoughts are from deep beneath the earth up through another sphere! Outstanding! Now, I think I'll watch it again. I was so hurIt when I heard she had passed, I just hope we can start appreciating our legends more...while they are here! Nothing better than that kind of wisdom! Thanks for blessing us Dr. Angelou! Your words and wisdom lives on!! Continued success Dave!!!

David Chappelle playing Thelonious Monk, 'Round Midnight...sweet.

Oh God, how I would have loved to be there at that time with those two beautiful souls, but now I have this, thank you for taking the time to share.

Wisdom Is all I hear when she speaks.

"you're a stone, or you're to sick to be angry." I miss the wisdom of this woman.

this was so good. favorite part: "Thank you for allowing me to be somebody." Pure wisdom & gold in this 👏🏾 Bless Maya's spirit + may Dave continue to find his way.

There was something so intimate and human about this. It was like being in a room full of mutual love and respect. Ugh, they are such icons and good examples

Maya Angelou...shaman, sage, griot, wisdom keeper...Thank you wherever you are in the cosmos

One word: Wisdom!! Two words: Grandmother's Heart Three words: Power of words ... I wish more people, myself included, had the wisdom of a grandmother in their lives. RIP Dr. Angelou

Damn I cried during this ... powerful stuff ... thank you

Maya Angelo is and will always be my favorite poetess ever. Dave Chapelle is in a league of his own as well. What a wonderful interview . I smiled through the whole thing. I am so happy you did this video. Thank you!

Wow what a Gem 💎 this video is, two of my all time favorite people. I would have never imagined this was on here. Thank you for posting ❤️.

Life changing. It makes me want to go out and just do things be a leader ain't no time to look back and analyze all my life I got to do it instead of trying to figure "it out" build my legacy for my future, my future kids and grand kids and secure their place in this world before it all hits me and I'm not able to handle it. Thank you for this video will be looking into more of dr. Angelou's work. Rest in peace and thank you for this blessing only God could have opened these doors but this wisdom has enlightened me to try my best and not wait for answers.

Each of us has a chance to be somebody.

I wept at the pain she lived , I listen to the tapestry of her story, and I rejoice at the humor that Chappelle wields like a saber.

Dr. Angelou is so captivating, I've never listened to anyone else speak that had the ability to captivate the way she does.

as he sits on the couch , humbly, soaking in courage and wisdom, so do I sit enveloped by each word. "heroes and sheroes."

This may be one of the greatest videos I've ever come across. Thank you so much for sharing. :)

She has a golden mind and a velvet voice. No finer lady of her generation.

Maya Angelou, even in death, makes everyone who listens to her a better person.

Such a beautiful exchange of wisdom between two icons, each in their own field and generation. Thankful for the story of Tupac, and for humanizing him. As hard as it must have been for Dave, he stood for what is right and his story only goes to show us the ghastly cataclysm that occurs when art and corporate interest meet. Dave will always be a comedic genius of our time. Simply intelligent, graceful and positive.

its so crazy people laugh at Dave but don't truly understand how deep the stuff he is talking about.

We need your kindness, thoughts and especially your words, today.
