Get the Dave Chappelle Rick James T Shirt . Charlie Murphy (who also wrote the sketches) retells his encounters with 1980s celebrities, the most popular being the Rick Jamesstory. The sketch features Murphy as himself and Chappelle as James, including incidents such as James slapping Murphy, interspersed with scenes of the present-day Rick James (portrayed by James himself), trying to cover up for his past behavior, saying, “Cocaine‘s a hell of a drug.”[6] The sketch spawned one of the show’s popular catchphrases, “I’m Rick James, bitch!”, which Chappelle, as James, repeatedly declares. The sketch attained even greater public attention when, in 2005, a candidate for city council in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, also named Rick James but unrelated to the singer, had many of his “Vote Rick James” campaign signs defaced by writing “Vote Rick James bitch!” or stolen by fans of the sketch.[7][8] The other “True Hollywood Story” depicted Murphy and his crew losing a pickup game of basketball against Prince. Both James and Prince confirmed the stories were true, with James’s admission coming in unreleased interview footage produced for the skit. Prince’s confirmation came in an interview with MTV, in which he stated “The whupping is true”.[9] Prince later used an image of Chappelle dressed as Prince as the cover of his single “Breakfast Can Wait“.
