The film follows Chappelle during the summer of 2004, ending on September 18, 2004, when he threw a [[block party]] on the corner of Quincy Street and Downing Street in the [[Clinton Hill, Brooklyn|Clinton Hill]] neighborhood of [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City]]. The film features nearby sites, including the [[Broken Angel House]] in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn as well as areas in [[Fort Greene, Brooklyn]] and [[Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn]]. The film was produced before Chappelle's highly publicized decision to walk away from a $50 million deal to continue his hit ''[[Chappelle's Show]]'', and gained prominence after the announcement.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}
Chappelle invited several [[hip hop]] and [[neo-soul]] musical artists to perform at the party, including [[Kanye West]], [[Mos Def]], [[Jill Scott (singer)|Jill Scott]], [[Erykah Badu]], and [[The Roots]] along with The [[Central State University]] Marching Band. [[Lauryn Hill]] was also scheduled to perform at the party, but since [[Columbia Records]] refused to release her songs for use in the production, she decided instead to reunite [[The Fugees]] for the occasion. In addition, Chappelle performed comedy [[monologues]] and [[Sketch comedy|sketches]] in between the musical acts.
