Speaker 1: You love that room anywhere else? So your friend fright? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the world's stagers want to shut the cameras. I didn't
Speaker 1: agree shows the city. So the captain of this the
Speaker 1: only one who can keep these guys in chat solomne God,
Speaker 1: this is the club petitions, ladies, hold on your panties.
Speaker 1: Oh Man, Well Maxwell is here? What's ups up? I'm trying, Man,
Speaker 1: what's going on now? I'm glad you're here because I saw,
Speaker 1: Oh you do snapchat snaking bosted. You can't, you can't
Speaker 1: say you gonna be thinking about it the hole and
Speaker 1: I just messed up my my snap. That was a
Speaker 1: really good snap and you just raking y'all we out here, Maxwell, Ye,
Speaker 1: I'm trying. I'm doing my club. I know your damns
Speaker 1: be popping. H Actually yes they do, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: they definitely pop. Yeah, you know snapchat me that. You know.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting world though, because I'm obviously I'm forty two,
Speaker 1: so it's like, I can't imagine what it would be
Speaker 1: like to be a fourteen year old with all of
Speaker 1: this social media the way it's going down. Why haven't
Speaker 1: you connected with the people in so long? Man? Seven years,
Speaker 1: seven years right, did you even realize that I, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I gotta tell you, I get anxiety about
Speaker 1: just trying to meet the challenge of what what I
Speaker 1: did before. And at the same time, I don't want
Speaker 1: to play myself and try to look like I'm trying
Speaker 1: to be in the moment. All the kids doing a
Speaker 1: record future, Well no, and don't get into I know
Speaker 1: and love all of those records like I mess. You know,
Speaker 1: I listened to all of everything. I mean I listened
Speaker 1: to some really dark, bunchy trap like all of that.
Speaker 1: But right now, Uh, definitely, you know Yogatti, Definitely, um,
Speaker 1: Travis Scott, I mean, you know I listened to I mean,
Speaker 1: I've been in the club, so I know what these
Speaker 1: songs are and I can I can sing with them.
Speaker 1: But I always have to be really concerned about the
Speaker 1: brand and like what I've done, you know, starting to
Speaker 1: ninety six, and the fact that like my music is
Speaker 1: which you go home to after you've been where you've been,
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's with your family. Hopefully it's what you
Speaker 1: do on Sunday mornings when you cook in, you get
Speaker 1: married to it, you having kids to it, those types
Speaker 1: of things. So I've got to think about those issues
Speaker 1: as I see the ever changing situation out there in
Speaker 1: the music world. Now, you talked about the pressure. Now,
Speaker 1: is it a lot of pressure because you've always been
Speaker 1: I say, left, like you never went with trendon. I
Speaker 1: mean from your first album to your videos. Is there
Speaker 1: pressure staying different and staying in that lane and staying
Speaker 1: and being as big as those other songs and other albums. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, no doubt, I'm gonna I'm not gonna. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you about that. But that's part
Speaker 1: of the fun, you know. The part of the challenge
Speaker 1: of putting something together is saying to yourself, well, how
Speaker 1: can I maintain relevancy but still be This is always
Speaker 1: the greatest thing that I want is timelessness because so
Speaker 1: many people come and go. There are certain rules to
Speaker 1: the game about how do you how you do that?
Speaker 1: And I think that if you stay true to the basics,
Speaker 1: you know of what we're trying to exemplify, which is
Speaker 1: I don't get I'm not too detail oriented about shoes
Speaker 1: and cars, and I mean I'm just kind of a
Speaker 1: you know, we I just talk. I try to talk
Speaker 1: about the bigger things in terms of just like you know, heartbreak, pain, betrayal,
Speaker 1: want to get somebody back form, hurting you um, not
Speaker 1: feeling like you're good enough. Those basic things or what
Speaker 1: we always feel no matter what the watches that weekend,
Speaker 1: no matter what the sneaker is, no matter what the
Speaker 1: new car is where, whatever it is, those are the
Speaker 1: things that we um are always connected by. Why did
Speaker 1: you handle the fame when it came to these women? Man?
Speaker 1: Because you're fresh shout making all these great R and
Speaker 1: B music. I'm sure girls was throwing it at you.
Speaker 1: A one hundred mile problem. Not only had the type
Speaker 1: because he didn't had if you think about it, he'd
Speaker 1: had to quote unquote earthy women Earth? What is earth?
Speaker 1: Does that mean? Big? No, I'm good with big when
Speaker 1: they want to wear as right, the monique type chicks
Speaker 1: and I feel you well, look, I just think everything
Speaker 1: is beautiful. And the weirdest thing for me is like
Speaker 1: when I look out into the audience, because they'd be
Speaker 1: bad ones out there, but they're the one that is
Speaker 1: the shyest, the one that maybe feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: I need to like, you know, lose a few here,
Speaker 1: lose a few there. That's usually one I focus right
Speaker 1: on because I feel like I was Maxwell. I just
Speaker 1: want to make I just want to make them feel good, right,
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, that's my
Speaker 1: job on stage. I just want to make you feel good.
Speaker 1: And everyone's gorgeous, everyone's sexy. But you know, for me,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a brain person. So it's like I
Speaker 1: think that the situations that sort of like will come
Speaker 1: to me on a personal level because I will be
Speaker 1: more mental. I'm forty two. So it's like beauty. I
Speaker 1: understand the beauty is amazing, but when you wake up
Speaker 1: with someone after ten years, you don't even remember that
Speaker 1: beauty part of it. You just know that you have
Speaker 1: a friend. You just know that you know, you got
Speaker 1: somebody that's holding you down, hopefully like with my like
Speaker 1: my my friend and manager John, you have someone who's
Speaker 1: raising your kids. That that's you know, the day and
Speaker 1: and the day out of that, uh like all that
Speaker 1: stuff fade, you know. Um so no, not raising kid.
Speaker 1: You have some kids. Maybe maybe I do, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but you ain't on the lest some of that legendary
Speaker 1: sperm go. Man, Well you know what I have this
Speaker 1: new Actually, you know it's interesting that you should bring
Speaker 1: this up, sir, the legendary to have a marketing plan.
Speaker 1: Instead of the albums, it'll be sperm. So I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna market the sperm. You what if you're pregnant by Maxwell,
Speaker 1: buy my new album. No, no, just work. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying it's a new plan. I might put a single
Speaker 1: with it, Okay, I might have a song to come up,
Speaker 1: because usually the music kind of does that. So I figured,
Speaker 1: let's just cut to the check into the chase and
Speaker 1: just you know, you have many I hope, so man,
Speaker 1: I keep a luck. We got more with Maxwell. When
Speaker 1: we come back. It's the Breakfast Club for more happy holidays.
Speaker 1: Wishing you and your family the very best this holiday
Speaker 1: season from all of us here at the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ nd Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got Maxwell
Speaker 1: still in the building, like, I don't go. I've been
Speaker 1: to one of your shows and I really I'm in
Speaker 1: the two of year shows and my wife was like
Speaker 1: the shows, I want my wife now. But when she
Speaker 1: was my girl and stuff, and I realized I ain't
Speaker 1: going to the Maxwell show because you showed them for
Speaker 1: men at all. It's just a bunch of screaming women.
Speaker 1: He ain't thinking about us. My wife goes with her French.
Speaker 1: I am feel all funny, godad and get excited and
Speaker 1: bring you out about what do you talk about? But
Speaker 1: with my wife one time and I felt a little
Speaker 1: funny because everybody's screaming. I'm sitting in the corner like
Speaker 1: a suckers. I'm like, you know what, you bring your
Speaker 1: girlfriend next time? When when he did fortunate, I went
Speaker 1: to sleep because because I was like, it's like it's
Speaker 1: like being It's like you girl, watch you watching scandal mpion.
Speaker 1: It's basically like when you guys are watching the basketball
Speaker 1: game or right football. Yeah, so this is like they're
Speaker 1: revenge on you. Basically. That is the fact. I am
Speaker 1: the revenge of all those times. But no mad Pelvic thrust.
Speaker 1: I'm like, if you thrust one more time, hey man,
Speaker 1: that ticket is expensive. I mean, I gotta put working,
Speaker 1: but I'm just look, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you get to take them home, yeah, and you get
Speaker 1: to get situations that you probably never imagine what happened.
Speaker 1: I'm just I can't believe it's twenty years later, guys.
Speaker 1: That's all I gotta say. I'm just and I'm so
Speaker 1: happy that I'm kicking it with you because I hear
Speaker 1: you guys in the morning. You guys are funny, real people. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you're in situation sometimes because you gotta speak
Speaker 1: about things and whatever. But you know, I just appreciate
Speaker 1: all the support throughout the years, and I got you
Speaker 1: on those dance records on this new Okay, how do
Speaker 1: you feel about the term neo soul because people always
Speaker 1: give you credit for being the start of that. I
Speaker 1: can't say that because D'Angelo was released in ninety five.
Speaker 1: I have to admit, with great respect to him that
Speaker 1: he when he was set off, it really made everybody
Speaker 1: at the label really understand because I was already done
Speaker 1: with my album. I was just sitting on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: I was on the bench. So you know, I give
Speaker 1: credit to d for being the person to sort of
Speaker 1: really get my record off the show. And then I
Speaker 1: give a lot of credit to the radio stations that
Speaker 1: just they played it without understanding what this was about,
Speaker 1: because you know, I looked crazy. You know, I was
Speaker 1: a big old hair and everything, and you know, having
Speaker 1: all the weird West Indian type of thing, which that's
Speaker 1: not a typical really for an R and B person.
Speaker 1: Usually they're from the South. Usually they're like like with D'Angelo,
Speaker 1: his story is so perfect, Like he's from Richmond, Virginia.
Speaker 1: He played in the church, you know, Like my dad's
Speaker 1: from Puerto Rico, my mom's from Haiti. Like I'm like
Speaker 1: first generation from Brooklyn. Yeah, I didn't even feel black
Speaker 1: enough really, So for me, it was like, man, I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope my people like this music as much as
Speaker 1: I love them. And you know, twenty years later, it's
Speaker 1: just nice to know that that I was. I always
Speaker 1: wondered why you didn't do many features, but there was
Speaker 1: this pretty much no Maxwell features. Yeah. Yeah, you know, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm not saying I'm better than anybody,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people out there that I like,
Speaker 1: but um, a lot of my choices are kind of
Speaker 1: like family type choices. Like Nas was signed released ninety five.
Speaker 1: I was there in ninety six, so y'all kind of
Speaker 1: grew up together. Yeah, you know, I was shocked that
Speaker 1: he'd even liked my music because you know, he's an OZ,
Speaker 1: he's hip hop. My stuff is all smooth and we
Speaker 1: developed a friendship and you know, we basically worked on
Speaker 1: something once on one of his record Street Kings, and
Speaker 1: then you know, we just did the Barkley thing together,
Speaker 1: and you know, we have more plans to do more
Speaker 1: business stuff together because we just we just get on.
Speaker 1: And then Alicia Keys, who I knew at fifteen at
Speaker 1: Columbia when she was signed there. She was kind of
Speaker 1: like my special guest on a first album, so I
Speaker 1: know her. I know Swizzler. I thought you were going
Speaker 1: to do a joint with jay Z and j D
Speaker 1: at one time. But during the Money and Anything video,
Speaker 1: when he's sitting there, they're playing it in the background,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is this is here it goes,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's my that's my next move. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, if if Jay is listening, because we're friends
Speaker 1: and I see him all the time, and I know
Speaker 1: his wife, and um, I've heard of his wife. Yeah
Speaker 1: his wife, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, his wife is cool.
Speaker 1: I'm from Brooklyn, He's from Brooklyn. You know, it'd be amazing.
Speaker 1: I think he makes I think he is the Frank
Speaker 1: Sinatra of hip hop because all of his beats, he
Speaker 1: never plays himself. I mean, literally, And the craziest thing
Speaker 1: is when Reasonable Doubt came out, he always just chooses
Speaker 1: like the classic things and you can listen to all
Speaker 1: those records forever, and that's rare. Man Like people don't
Speaker 1: understand it's so much harder to make hip hop classic
Speaker 1: because there's so many ways that you could really play
Speaker 1: yourself with with like all the new trends and the
Speaker 1: new things that people do Vold coder and whatever and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. You can dress like our Kelly Key well,
Speaker 1: you see the like I guess I can't say nothing
Speaker 1: bad about him. I mean, fortunate, we you know, I
Speaker 1: never seen anybody's records unfortunate when I when I heard
Speaker 1: it wasn't actually the first song, but when I heard,
Speaker 1: I was like, because you just gotta pay respect to him,
Speaker 1: because that guy can just I mean, he could just
Speaker 1: pe out a song, you know, like yes, he could
Speaker 1: say yes, pawell, Yes. Nobody even had to set you
Speaker 1: up for that. One man was great. I was gonna
Speaker 1: see all the fluid you could say, oh god, oh god,
Speaker 1: please mister Kelly, please don't don't Yes Maxwell, Yes, I
Speaker 1: didn't mean to do that. I was gonna say something else,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to say that because the current
Speaker 1: made you say what you needed to say. Man, Well,
Speaker 1: there you have it. It's Maxwell. It's the Breakfast Club, Gamani,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. You want to get body is DJ
Speaker 1: m vy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. One of our favorite people up here today.
Speaker 1: J was good, man, you're making up a lot of
Speaker 1: time because you was locked up. How are you gonna
Speaker 1: just started off like I just got mixtape and everything. Man, listen,
Speaker 1: I had got in trouble at a college, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't my fault this time. I was totally where. Everybody
Speaker 1: in jail laughed at me. When I said that I
Speaker 1: didn't do it. They bought stop laughing. But I didn't

Speaker 1: They were like, so they was like, this your gun.
Speaker 1: I don't I really don't know about the gun. All
Speaker 1: these years we've been performing. I don't tell guns of shows.
Speaker 1: That's not what I do. So he was like, it's
Speaker 1: a gun in the car. I was like, it's somebody's
Speaker 1: in the car. I'm not the pointer. You feel me.
Speaker 1: And then we just didn't want to Yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: do that. Don't make me point at you. See. I
Speaker 1: hate people like that in your crew. That's your gun.
Speaker 1: This a So the cop was cool. He was like, yo,
Speaker 1: y'all just get it together because you know money' all

Speaker 1: don't want to talk to no lawyer because we could
Speaker 1: just make bun and we'll deal with that later. But
Speaker 1: for now, all of us has the same charge. You
Speaker 1: feel me, So the lawyer gonna say what you're gonna take?
Speaker 1: You feel me? You gotta have this worked out. We
Speaker 1: fit the steps behind man and man down there is

Speaker 1: if it's my baby? But if it is, he said,
Speaker 1: you probably the only man that can prove that you're
Speaker 1: a real woman. Then, because I thought that was like, man,
Speaker 1: for that's a real woman, bro. I was not being
Speaker 1: cooed with like that the right term. I would not
Speaker 1: be associated with a man that looks like a woman.
Speaker 1: It's a product right there. But you just gotta look

Speaker 1: after reading the book doesn't want her? I think they clean?
Speaker 1: After reading the book, I think they clean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: say your phrase is not blurred? All right, starting nervous
Speaker 1: at the time. First of all, this book, my voice
Speaker 1: is amazing. Angie does not like compliments. But this book
Speaker 1: is a testament book and a documentation of a classic
Speaker 1: career in classic stories. And I love it. And he
Speaker 1: read the book and he hasn't read a book in
Speaker 1: fifteen years. That alone is very exciting. He read it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why he read it. Me and
Speaker 1: Ageleie came in here one day and he was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: fam hain't you smoke crack? How that accident? And that day?
Speaker 1: And I said, not only did she smoke crack, but
Speaker 1: the crack was originally I hate you. I hate already
Speaker 1: to read this. Everybody like, how many times smoke crack?
Speaker 1: A crackhead, a little question, and she did it with
Speaker 1: a pipe. She had plans to do it again on
Speaker 1: New Years Wait. Wait, wait, so this is what it
Speaker 1: takes for you to want to read a book. This
Speaker 1: is what it takes believe. He was like, it was
Speaker 1: a mistake. Oh God, that's gonna bet the head. It
Speaker 1: was a mistake. It was a mistake. I mean it
Speaker 1: was a mistake in terms of I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. It wasn't a big academic yet. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like known to everybody, so it was just another
Speaker 1: way to smoke weed or whatever that wasn't there. The
Speaker 1: only reason it is because we don't want to make
Speaker 1: it seem like you like, I'm a crack please, it's
Speaker 1: the accident. I think that's a great comeback. You started
Speaker 1: off a crackhead, and now I look at you, hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: Shut the hell out. It was one time, though, I
Speaker 1: just want to make it clear. It was one time,
Speaker 1: and it was kind of an accident, and I mean
Speaker 1: it was stupid. I look, come on, okay, we should
Speaker 1: probably did something as a kid where you were like before. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: what's the same thing that was the old crack is
Speaker 1: fried cocaine. Okay. Now I didn't know that in the
Speaker 1: moment until literally after it happened, and I'm watching the
Speaker 1: news and I was like, oh god. I was like,
Speaker 1: maybe I should smoke crack then because I want to
Speaker 1: have a nice career. Likely I'd say it in the book.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. It's like, it was great, it was amazing,
Speaker 1: plan to do it again. All the page it it's
Speaker 1: like half a paragra. That was the whole book is
Speaker 1: going to be about this one bad review, a crack
Speaker 1: for you to start that was it? No, because it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was like a special and that all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: and then maybe it was out already and people were talking.
Speaker 1: Maybe I wasn't paying attention until I had. Then you
Speaker 1: do it and then you're like, oh, I think that's
Speaker 1: what just happened to me. Now I feel I did
Speaker 1: ecstasy before, and then I saw that special family on ecstasy,
Speaker 1: and then you were like, like, oh, maybe maybe I
Speaker 1: should not never did this again. Friends crack still question
Speaker 1: that special may not have affected your friends? First of all,
Speaker 1: a friends and friends movie. It was first of all,
Speaker 1: it wasn't like my friends. It was like some kids
Speaker 1: that I hung out with my grandmother's house in her
Speaker 1: neighborhood at a park. It was just bad influences and
Speaker 1: who knows. I don't know what happened to that. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen them. Those they weren't like my friends. They
Speaker 1: would like the kids. God, they were like the kids
Speaker 1: from my grandmother's black Glad you got better friends, thank you, man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: none of my friends. Absolutely. It seems like you've always
Speaker 1: been a pretty private presence who wasn't hard because you
Speaker 1: like kind of gave up a lot. Yeah, I did,
Speaker 1: I know, And it's strange how comfortable I feel about it.
Speaker 1: I feel like I gave myself out. So when I
Speaker 1: started writing, I was like, I'm gonna just write everything
Speaker 1: as it is. I mean with everybody, with my family,
Speaker 1: with mine, like whatever, let me just write it as
Speaker 1: it is, and then I'll assess and then I'll be
Speaker 1: like I could eat the cut, but do all that.
Speaker 1: But once it's out and you realize, like everything happens
Speaker 1: for a reason, even that, even the cracting. I use
Speaker 1: that as an example to say, like, I have compassion
Speaker 1: for people who have addictions and who get go down
Speaker 1: bad roads because of things like that. So I think
Speaker 1: everything in my story in my life is for a reason,
Speaker 1: So there's nothing I'm ashamed of. And so I just
Speaker 1: wrote it. And then I was like, what about other
Speaker 1: people that you're telling stories about? Some of these people
Speaker 1: in my book, and maybe some of them are not
Speaker 1: going to be in the most flattering light in their opinion,
Speaker 1: but it's your story and what really happened. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: a pointing you did you have to say? Okay, let
Speaker 1: me let them know. I keep saying that I'm going to.
Speaker 1: I haven't made the calls yet, but maybe before maybe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna maybe today when I leave here, I'll make
Speaker 1: those calls. I'll make them. I'm torn about it because
Speaker 1: I feel like whatever happened people know happened. So I'm
Speaker 1: not saying anything that's not true. Number one, And it's
Speaker 1: but you went a little in with some people. It's feelings,
Speaker 1: but those are my feelings I don't talk about. It's
Speaker 1: not from a judgmental or I'm trying to hurt nobody.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, like what my route is and
Speaker 1: how I learned lessons because of things that happened. So
Speaker 1: as long as it's under that umbrella, I felt okay
Speaker 1: with it, and I don't feel like I hurt anybody,
Speaker 1: like anybody's life. Did people hate you and say, did
Speaker 1: you put me in the book? I get that all
Speaker 1: the time, Like, first of all, you're not even in
Speaker 1: the book. I don't know why people that are like
Speaker 1: I kind of know, like did I make the book?
Speaker 1: Like no, I'm so sorry. You don't surprised me. Finances
Speaker 1: with you? You was terrible, money was terrible. Bad. Were
Speaker 1: you said that? Surprised you didn't have those problems when
Speaker 1: you started? No, you gotta really twice. I've been in
Speaker 1: that situation once where I had to go to court.
Speaker 1: Were you already known it on the radio? And good
Speaker 1: thing was the problems with my wife's things when I
Speaker 1: got fired from Wendy. She had to end up going
Speaker 1: to court. But it was just that feeling like, damn,
Speaker 1: you're so popping you would do whenever you were on radio,
Speaker 1: you were doing every club. I was like why then
Speaker 1: I was down at that eviction notice like this with
Speaker 1: the hoodie on, like, oh god, why did this happen
Speaker 1: to me? I just was irresponsible. I just was I
Speaker 1: had never really learned how to do that, and so
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, you get an envelope of
Speaker 1: cash and you just spend it, right, And I was ripping.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about from morning to night, working in the
Speaker 1: club and come home. So you know, my mailbox. I
Speaker 1: would check it, like you know, once every two weeks.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't something in those bills weren't important in pain.
Speaker 1: It was a people feel like that. And even now,
Speaker 1: I think one thing you didn't I don't see you
Speaker 1: explained that. How did you? And Mary gets so cool
Speaker 1: that you could pick up the phone and any money.
Speaker 1: This was Mary was popping at this time. Yeah, but Mary,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to ever tell her business.
Speaker 1: But you know, Mary has gone through things in her
Speaker 1: life too, and we've both been friends to each other
Speaker 1: during those times. I think Mary trust me, and I've
Speaker 1: always trusted her. Even in this, even writing a story
Speaker 1: about something that she helped me. I'm gonna let her know,
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm telling the story, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: so she knows, and I think she just you know,
Speaker 1: we came up at the same time. So she's putting
Speaker 1: her first album out, I'm just getting started popping on
Speaker 1: the radio. It was her. She would listen to the
Speaker 1: radio and then she'd come up to my show and
Speaker 1: she was like, I love you so much on the radio,
Speaker 1: and we just, I don't know, we just clicked and
Speaker 1: then we would go out and we hang out, and
Speaker 1: then you know, she has some things going on in
Speaker 1: her life, and we just were always with both capricorns,
Speaker 1: we have like a very I don't know, a unique
Speaker 1: kind of understanding of each other. I even to now,
Speaker 1: like even now Mary and Angie going into a check
Speaker 1: cash and play. You understand what I'm saying in the
Speaker 1: middle of did she have a check order? I don't
Speaker 1: know why I love that story because I don't. It's
Speaker 1: so her. She's so regular. She's such a regular girl.
Speaker 1: You know, by the way, if you missed those two stories,
Speaker 1: the crack story and can't find one in the hood,
Speaker 1: why the story? Why have all the stories in the book?
Speaker 1: Those in the two things that you are negative ass
Speaker 1: resonated to. That's what saddened me about the book though,
Speaker 1: because it's like, y'all, era, you'll never see that again,
Speaker 1: like you and Mary coming up together, listen to my
Speaker 1: album and the Queen. We're not getting that. Some of
Speaker 1: those things I just take for granted what everybody knows
Speaker 1: these stories. You know, everybody knows that jay Z and
Speaker 1: R Kelly got into something at the garden and pulled
Speaker 1: the show in the middle of the show and then
Speaker 1: came up to the radio station and interviewed with me
Speaker 1: at two in the morning. Everybody knows that story. But
Speaker 1: then you write these stories and you start talking to people.
Speaker 1: I did colleges last week, and I'm telling these stories
Speaker 1: and they're like, what it doesn't seem real. Like even
Speaker 1: reading I'm like, what this really happened? Makes me realize
Speaker 1: how important it is to document it. I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of stories, especially radio, things that happened on
Speaker 1: the radio that just for some reason like not well documented.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that why? Or you know, you
Speaker 1: know everything about artists, you know everything about videos because
Speaker 1: it's all visual you've seen on TV. But the stories
Speaker 1: that happened on radio, who documents that? Right? Owning everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we all
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. We have Angie Martinez in the building.
Speaker 1: She has a new book called My Voice Now. I
Speaker 1: was really surprised you got so personal in this book.
Speaker 1: You gave so much of your personal life, but you
Speaker 1: can't write about your life and did like we know,
Speaker 1: like it was just hate is a terrible word. At
Speaker 1: one point, he wasn't my favorite person at one points,
Speaker 1: as we broadcast on vote, didn't we both have come
Speaker 1: a very long way because when we worked in the
Speaker 1: other building, it was like, no, what did end with Diddy?
Speaker 1: Nobody else with did? That's what it was. That's a
Speaker 1: damn line. Plenty of people messed with him. I just
Speaker 1: chose to not because we didn't have the best relationship
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to ever have to fake it.
Speaker 1: And we never talked about it. I guess should probably
Speaker 1: talk about it after this, especially since this airs on
Speaker 1: a vote. But you know, we've come a long way. Man.
Speaker 1: I tell a story about him being super supportive during
Speaker 1: the marathon and donating all that money, and you know,
Speaker 1: he's who he is. But what was it he didn't like?
Speaker 1: It was just moments. You read the book, Well, I'm
Speaker 1: saying it for people who are listening, there were moments
Speaker 1: that happened. Well, they could read the book too. There
Speaker 1: are moments that happened where you know, his agenda was
Speaker 1: different than mine, and you know he was aggressive about
Speaker 1: his agenda as I was mine, and so sometimes that
Speaker 1: just kind of bumped heads. Ran up on you one time,
Speaker 1: well ran up its strong. Yeah, I mean it was
Speaker 1: like he ran up on you, and you told me
Speaker 1: and forced me to smoke crack and then out of
Speaker 1: my apartment and I was evicted. I was hopeless, a
Speaker 1: puffy and then you did um tupacket you in here
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, that says a lot about your character
Speaker 1: because I know for me, if that was me and
Speaker 1: I when I did, you would have totally aired immediate.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I love that about you, and I
Speaker 1: like and I respect different people's perspectives on how they
Speaker 1: choose to use their mics, on how they choose because
Speaker 1: it's important to have different voices, you know, It's important
Speaker 1: to have people who just want to tell it as
Speaker 1: it is point blank. What I've learned is that I
Speaker 1: can't be myself to do what other people do. Like
Speaker 1: if I spent my day trying to be Charlemagne, I
Speaker 1: would fail miserably, right, And so it's and I do
Speaker 1: need security. And then that's one of the things. It's
Speaker 1: like there's a place for all these different type of voices.
Speaker 1: And it took me a while to really appreciate my
Speaker 1: own and want to make sure that I'm always true
Speaker 1: to it. What made you tell that story? What story?
Speaker 1: The pop story? And you talked about that story that
Speaker 1: was honestly, if I could tell, if I could be honest,
Speaker 1: that was one of the milder stories. Really, yeah, it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the old story he tells that was a milder story.
Speaker 1: And and honestly, one of the reasons I dreaded ever
Speaker 1: putting stuff out was because of how it affect the
Speaker 1: outside people that weren't involved. You know, But at this point,
Speaker 1: I'm starting to realize that it's part kind of part
Speaker 1: of history. It's not for me to to protect. I
Speaker 1: think everybody's kind of moved on with their lives at
Speaker 1: this point. The whole two hours, I am at some
Speaker 1: point and you know, you know what, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: where where it's going to happen, but it just has
Speaker 1: to be like respectful and done well. At this point point,
Speaker 1: it's been so long. You said you didn't want to
Speaker 1: put it out because you didn't want to call it problems,
Speaker 1: but then Poking Big both got killed. Yeah, but imagine
Speaker 1: they would have both got killed and I would have
Speaker 1: put it out. I would have you feel that I
Speaker 1: would have forever held that, like did I have something
Speaker 1: to do with that? Is because of you know, I
Speaker 1: would have always worried that's something so grateful that I didn't,
Speaker 1: because honestly, I would have lived with that forever. I
Speaker 1: agree with a lot of the moves that you made
Speaker 1: in the book, like because I felt like a lot
Speaker 1: of staid the anti Martinez did. If I was in
Speaker 1: that same situation, I'm like, I probably would have did
Speaker 1: the same thing, yeah, because I do feel like a
Speaker 1: sense of responsibility to other people and not causing more
Speaker 1: issues than necessary, especially when something can be violent the
Speaker 1: way that it was as harsh as it wasn't. It's
Speaker 1: crazy when you think about that time and how hostile
Speaker 1: it wasn't. How I mean you remember like everybody it
Speaker 1: was it was real, like if it wasn't like a
Speaker 1: gossip blog like it was scary, it was like real.
Speaker 1: You felt like people were gonna get touched, and people
Speaker 1: did and they did and we but you didn't know
Speaker 1: to what extent how many like you just felt like
Speaker 1: if it felt very dark, like a bad time, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a bad time. What did the gyms to say?
Speaker 1: I got from you and watching you is. But people
Speaker 1: don't understand is you know how to do everything. You
Speaker 1: know how to clutch, how to run your own ball,
Speaker 1: and you're real anal with that. Like if somebody works
Speaker 1: with you, gotta know she wanted perfect, and people don't
Speaker 1: know that about you, like you do everything you know,
Speaker 1: let nobody do anything. To this day, you still Andree's
Speaker 1: gotten a few fired over here for not being you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But that's not my fault. That's
Speaker 1: whoever that person's fault. It's like, you know, I can't
Speaker 1: and I think as I've gotten older and more like
Speaker 1: I just I don't can't tolerate being like somebody that's
Speaker 1: not good. Plads can't tolerate lazy, people who are lazy,
Speaker 1: or people who are not committed. I'm committed to what
Speaker 1: I do, so if you are part of my team,
Speaker 1: I need you also to be committed to whatever your
Speaker 1: piece of that is. But like editing, I still take
Speaker 1: prior to my stuff. So I feel like until I
Speaker 1: have another Andree Martinez next to me who can edit
Speaker 1: it and know exactly what I want to do, then
Speaker 1: I gotta do it. Ever be another Aree Martinez because
Speaker 1: you don't see kids doing the internships the way that
Speaker 1: we did coming up and think of that nature working
Speaker 1: in the promo department. Yeah, because they're lazy. I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to tell kids to be a radio
Speaker 1: personality anymore. Yeah. No, probably a different path. It's a
Speaker 1: different like you have to go online us onlines, people
Speaker 1: that are becoming celebrities places and then wind up. It's
Speaker 1: just it's just a different path. But the work ethic
Speaker 1: and the drive has to still be there. You know,
Speaker 1: you can't do exactly what you did or I did,
Speaker 1: or any of us did. You should take from it
Speaker 1: the work ethic and the drive and the you know,
Speaker 1: and the time you put into what you do. All right,
Speaker 1: we have more with Angie Martinez when we come back.
Speaker 1: Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club the Morning. Everybody is DJ M v Angela, Ye,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now we
Speaker 1: have Angie Martinez in the building. She has a new
Speaker 1: book called A Voice. That Forward is by j Cole.
Speaker 1: A lot of people, first of all, I didn't know
Speaker 1: some of people didn't know what the Forward was because
Speaker 1: people were like, I know, They're like, what does that mean? Why?
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, that's honestly, that's the only thing
Speaker 1: I didn't like about THEO. And I liked what he wrote,
Speaker 1: but I just didn't feel like what made you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like jay Z or somebody, Oh, I feel opposite.
Speaker 1: I felt opposite because I think my space in the
Speaker 1: culture is that, like, you know, I have this history,
Speaker 1: but I'm also still very much in it. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could check my ratings in the afternoon. We're still
Speaker 1: but I'm very grey for them. We have amazing numbers
Speaker 1: in the afternoons, and so it's like I feel I
Speaker 1: have like one foot and this side of one foot
Speaker 1: in this side them, which is a unique position to
Speaker 1: be in. Think about Cole is, I feel like Cole
Speaker 1: is really a student of the culture, like somebody who cares,
Speaker 1: and so in telling my story to not just the
Speaker 1: people that were there, but telling my story to people
Speaker 1: that are new and may not know these stories, it
Speaker 1: was he's the perfect person to kind of deliver it
Speaker 1: to that, and he also speaks to the fact that
Speaker 1: there's things to be learned from the way we came
Speaker 1: up and the way that you know, radio was at
Speaker 1: that time, and hip hop was at that time, so
Speaker 1: it was perfect and I think he's amazing and I was,
Speaker 1: I was, it was the perfect one. I think Jay
Speaker 1: would have been like so predictable and so like what
Speaker 1: could he say that hasn't already been said in terms
Speaker 1: of like we don't know, maybe he could, maybe he
Speaker 1: could have. Maybe he could have part two then, but
Speaker 1: maybe part two maybe yeah, maybe the second maybe the
Speaker 1: second book. He'll he'll grace me with a with a forward.
Speaker 1: Speaking of whole, he used to let you hit all
Speaker 1: his albums before you put him out. Was there ever
Speaker 1: any songs you told him was whack that still ended
Speaker 1: up being hits? Yeah? Probably his biggest song ever was
Speaker 1: a hard Knock Life. I hated it, really I did.
Speaker 1: I hated it singing because I used to love the
Speaker 1: Anti soundtrack and I just was like, you check, come on,
Speaker 1: this is It was like like this is terrible, terrible,
Speaker 1: But I was like, it's all right, are you gonna single?
Speaker 1: Like I don't think and of course you know, it's biggest,
Speaker 1: one of his biggest songs ever. What did he say
Speaker 1: after that? I think he just would always take opinion
Speaker 1: and just kind of take it for what it was.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was like he's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: change my single now because you don't like it. I
Speaker 1: don't think it is that. But I think he liked
Speaker 1: to the same way. It's like I gave this book
Speaker 1: to a few people, and it's soul like. Especially when
Speaker 1: you guys gave me feedback, people who are in your career,
Speaker 1: who you know, it's important to hear what you resonated
Speaker 1: to what you liked that you didn't like. So I
Speaker 1: think for him it was the same thing, and I
Speaker 1: think he trusted me, and so that became like a thing. Real.
Speaker 1: Are you at the point where you realize that you
Speaker 1: and your peers R and D legends? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Come on. One of the college kids asked me the
Speaker 1: other day, when did you feel like you made it?
Speaker 1: I was like, I still don't feel like I made it.
Speaker 1: I still feel like I want to do films. I
Speaker 1: want to write a movie script, I want to do TV.
Speaker 1: I want to do but could be a movie. I
Speaker 1: was talking about that the other day. I was thinking
Speaker 1: I could see everything as like a mix between like
Speaker 1: a modern like coming of age, like a brown sugar
Speaker 1: hitting the crack pipe and the trail will be me.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stories. There's fights, there's work, there's struggle,
Speaker 1: there's success. You talked about your love life, which was
Speaker 1: surprising that you could. You couldn't wait to get to
Speaker 1: that man. There was one guy and they dated him
Speaker 1: and I know him too that I'm back in the
Speaker 1: day and when I work at Wu Tang he worked
Speaker 1: out loud. Oh yeah, you didn't say his name. She did.
Speaker 1: Was always a cute couple. The first pop one of
Speaker 1: the first epop power, the first power. Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: were so like people didn't really know. No, we were
Speaker 1: very kind of just like below the radar, So we
Speaker 1: didn't tell you. Wendy Williams, who don't get off the
Speaker 1: que tip things so fast now because you know, they
Speaker 1: tell a lot of women nowadays, what's happening. They tell
Speaker 1: a lot of women at radio nowadays. Don't mix the
Speaker 1: business with the pleasure. I mean, you know, it's whoever
Speaker 1: some people. I guess it works for some people, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: You know, I dated somebody that I did somebody who wasn't.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It just depends who the person's who
Speaker 1: you like, it's who you like, and it's how well,
Speaker 1: they deal with what you do. And because that was
Speaker 1: the thing with why I would mention any guy in
Speaker 1: there is because to tell you some of those challenges
Speaker 1: of being a woman. It's like, you know, when your
Speaker 1: man's like, what are you going to interview tupop four? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I think girls need to know that. I think
Speaker 1: girls need to I put myself in that situation. I'm like,
Speaker 1: if my girl, that's why we wouldn't have made it exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going with you. We're going I feel, you know, Auntie,
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't want to date a guy that would
Speaker 1: have an issue with me going to do something that
Speaker 1: could be one of the biggest things in my career ever.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying, especially when you're It's one
Speaker 1: thing if you're married, you're married and you have four
Speaker 1: or five kids, that's a different type of relationship. When
Speaker 1: you're in your young twenties and you're dating somebody who
Speaker 1: is not on board with what your vision is for
Speaker 1: your life, you gotta keep a pushing bye bye. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Not that you're a bad guy,
Speaker 1: but you're not on my track right now. And a
Speaker 1: couple of the couple of relationships that I do talk about.
Speaker 1: It's the same. They didn't work for the same reason.
Speaker 1: It's like, you're not going where I'm going, and so
Speaker 1: it's not God, you ever getting dumb arguments like you'd
Speaker 1: be like your Midnight Maraudus is classic, Like y're you
Speaker 1: just saying that because you're dating Tip classics classics? But
Speaker 1: Dooper classic? No, I don't know. People didn't really know
Speaker 1: at the time. I think most people knew, like after
Speaker 1: we broke ye then we weren't together for many years
Speaker 1: and we're good friends, and people thought we were dating them.
Speaker 1: Like it's so late on that, so there wasn't a lot.

Speaker 1: cam video shot by the police officers when they pulled
Speaker 1: over the hiding a trophy winner, and this takes it
Speaker 1: to a whole nother level. I always find it a
Speaker 1: musing when people are drunk, because when I'm drunk, I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm impaired, meaning I know what's going on.
Speaker 1: I know what I'm saying. When I see people like
Speaker 1: Troy Smith, if I question if I've ever really been drunk?

Speaker 1: a big deal. Yes, that was a big deal. To
Speaker 1: be on the cover of Men's was a big deal, man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: six pack and everything. Hard work pay off, baby. You
Speaker 1: know that's a lot of blood, sweat and tears in
Speaker 1: that gym, blood sweat and tears. But I can honestly
Speaker 1: say it's dope when you see the results of your
Speaker 1: hard work, when you when you see things like this
Speaker 1: come up. So it's pretty dope. Talk about some more
Speaker 1: this money. He making word on the street and you
Speaker 1: have already made twenty million dollars off your emojis. Cab.
Speaker 1: Now that's I tell A white person told me that
Speaker 1: doesn't day. I would tell that, I would tell you
Speaker 1: the truth. No, that's not true, that's hype. It was
Speaker 1: number one on the iTunes. It was number one. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that my my app isn't doing well, but
Speaker 1: I'm not. I didn't make twenty million dollars. The app
Speaker 1: game is uh, it's four right now, Okay. It's not
Speaker 1: like I got in the app game at the beginning
Speaker 1: of it, where the app game first popped off. I
Speaker 1: was a latecomer in the app game, which is why
Speaker 1: I tried to do minds differently and have my face
Speaker 1: represent me and my my emojis. That was my way
Speaker 1: of saying, I don't want to do what everybody else
Speaker 1: is done. And you know, it worked. I definitely had
Speaker 1: a lot of success, but I haven't had the success
Speaker 1: that people have had early in the past. Kim Kardashian
Speaker 1: killed that game when she did it because she was
Speaker 1: one of the first people to jump in and does
Speaker 1: a celebrity and say here's my version of it. So
Speaker 1: everybody else Kim Kim definitely made some money off that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what, but she definitely. Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: you got the Sneakers. They're sold out Sneakers definitely sold out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hustle hearts working on a hustle heart too. Now you know,
Speaker 1: I don't believe in doing things just one time. So
Speaker 1: my relationship with Nike is on going and right now,
Speaker 1: you know, this whole move with Heart movement has taken
Speaker 1: us to a different place, a different direction where the
Speaker 1: people that I've got to invest in the vision of
Speaker 1: simply working out and being healthier are now embarking on
Speaker 1: the same journey as me. So I was at one
Speaker 1: point where I just prepared to run a five k.
Speaker 1: Now I'm doing ten k's and then I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: half marathons and I'm going to do my own marathon.
Speaker 1: So the goal is to just grow, but not for competition,
Speaker 1: just to simply say that you did, just to check
Speaker 1: off goals on your list. And I think the best
Speaker 1: part about it is to see people that don't work out,
Speaker 1: that don't run, really start to get up and get
Speaker 1: active and say, yo, I'm doing this because I want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the movement. Dollars. I do
Speaker 1: love that you do that, though, because I totally I
Speaker 1: read jr um your interview in here, and I can
Speaker 1: tell you're very passionate about helping other people. Just come on, everybody,
Speaker 1: let's get up, go do a five k. I'm doing
Speaker 1: a five k in two weeks. As though for me
Speaker 1: it's it's it's about the the inspiring factor that goes
Speaker 1: along with it, you know what I mean. When you
Speaker 1: realize that you have a platform, you gotta find different
Speaker 1: things to use it for. And I think in this
Speaker 1: particular case, I'm authentic behind the words that you hear.
Speaker 1: I'm not the guy that's standing on top of a
Speaker 1: brand talking about something that I don't do. I'm a
Speaker 1: representation of what I say I am. So I think
Speaker 1: when people actually get to see the fact that I'm
Speaker 1: out there, if I say we run in, I'm running
Speaker 1: with you. I'm waiting until everybody comes through the one day.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lied to you. I was a little
Speaker 1: pissed off because I think I waited like an hour
Speaker 1: and a half for this one guy, Like one guy,
Speaker 1: one guy right. He come in and he was walking.
Speaker 1: He was a bigger guy, and I was mad for
Speaker 1: a second, but then I was like, I said, you
Speaker 1: know what, man, I ran out to him. He was
Speaker 1: like he was like a half a mile away. I
Speaker 1: ran out to him, and I said, dude, I said,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna come out, I said, you gotta at
Speaker 1: least you gotta at least trying, he said. Kevy said,
Speaker 1: you don't understand I'm trying. This is me walking. He said,
Speaker 1: this is the best I got. I said, damn it, man,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm gonna walk the rest of it with you.
Speaker 1: I guess. Man. It took me an hour and a half,
Speaker 1: two hours of finishing with the guy, but it made
Speaker 1: me realize, no, I didn't, and that's what I was mad.
Speaker 1: I was mad, but I couldn't be a liar. You know.
Speaker 1: I told everybody in the beginning of it, I don't
Speaker 1: leave until everybody acrosses the finish line. But what I
Speaker 1: learned that day was he simply got up. You know,
Speaker 1: he was probably like a good three thirty three forty,
Speaker 1: and he was like, look, man, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: do this. He said, you made me feel like this
Speaker 1: is what I should be doing. I'm out here and
Speaker 1: I did it. I want to say that I did it.
Speaker 1: It's the first day man of hopefully more to come.
Speaker 1: He said, But you got me to start and I
Speaker 1: took that and I was kind of blown away aby it.
Speaker 1: And then and then as we kept going, you keep
Speaker 1: getting different testimonials. You know, man, I'm fresh off with
Speaker 1: cardiac arrest or Yo, man, I'm a cancer survivor. Or Yo,
Speaker 1: I'm paraplegic and I'm in my chair, but I just
Speaker 1: want to come be a part of something so inspiring
Speaker 1: to get me hoping. So when you start to hear
Speaker 1: all this stuff, it hits you and you go. People
Speaker 1: are listening, but they're listening because they see the actions
Speaker 1: going behind what I'm doing. It's got to be a
Speaker 1: part of you that, Oh Lord, and you see somebody
Speaker 1: coming up, you got things to do. No, no, no listening.
Speaker 1: It's mental, it's all. It's all mental. So when you
Speaker 1: when you do see somebody in the wheelchair, you know,
Speaker 1: and and honestly you're you're blown away. You're blown away
Speaker 1: by it because what they want to be around, they
Speaker 1: want to be around that spirit. That spirit is contagious.
Speaker 1: When you get around positive, when you get around a
Speaker 1: bunch of people just high fiving, I don't care if
Speaker 1: your hands in your pocket you don't want to high five,
Speaker 1: or if everybody's out there going hey man, go go,
Speaker 1: let's get it. Let's get it. You're gonna want one.
Speaker 1: That's what he was out there for. The truth is,
Speaker 1: anybody could do it. One of my friends had asthma
Speaker 1: her whole life, and she couldn't really breathe. Well, she
Speaker 1: never ever ran, and now she's about to do the marathon.
Speaker 1: And it all started off with her just walking and
Speaker 1: running a little bit, then running a little bit more
Speaker 1: really slow jogging and walking. And the next thing you know,
Speaker 1: she's doing these and if she died, she died doing
Speaker 1: something she would love to do. She actually doesn't have.
Speaker 1: She actually had as my attack since she started running,
Speaker 1: because somebody just should be with her. My dad, my
Speaker 1: dad got lung cancer. You know, he tried to do
Speaker 1: something stupid. You know, my daddy had to take one
Speaker 1: of his lungs out. So he called herself walking on
Speaker 1: the treadmill. But I was in Heller and I say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you're on your own because I'm about to go to stair.
Speaker 1: I'm going serious to work out. Man, you're sure you're good.
Speaker 1: You don't know, man, I'm good. You know. My dad
Speaker 1: loud and my dad, my dad got the mentor of
Speaker 1: he thinks he's who he used to beat like I
Speaker 1: get a page on a loudspeaker. Mister Hart, come down here.
Speaker 1: Your dad in the corner holding is where as Lung
Speaker 1: used to be here. But I tell you what I
Speaker 1: tell you, man, I what was you walking on? He's
Speaker 1: walking on four? Well brother, you well you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: walking right now. But that's people jump out the window.
Speaker 1: I can't get it all in one day. It's a
Speaker 1: gradual process. I was that in your house when they
Speaker 1: paid you in your own home. No, no, no, that
Speaker 1: was that was me. I like to go actually, I
Speaker 1: like to go out to the gym. Okay. I like
Speaker 1: to go to the gym. I like to be around people. Man,
Speaker 1: I don't like you know what I like. I like
Speaker 1: going to the gym five five thirty because we see
Speaker 1: those people in there. Those people that's more serious, that's interested.
Speaker 1: I like people whose work process. So you get up
Speaker 1: at what time? I get up four thirty, four forty five.
Speaker 1: Every day. Wow, I'm a custom tom. I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: computer and gym every day. I'm gym every day. Wow.
Speaker 1: My light day in the gym is just like cardio.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm not lifting the day. We're just gonna
Speaker 1: do a quick three miles. We get out of here.
Speaker 1: We did some cardio, but I need to know that
Speaker 1: I got up and that I did something. Every day.
Speaker 1: Friends know me young morning. Everybody is DJ m VY,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne to God. We are the breakfast club,
Speaker 1: Kevin Harts in the building. Now you have your old network,
Speaker 1: a lot of comedians. We don't know who lying and
Speaker 1: who telling you. You get a lot of phone calls
Speaker 1: called me directly. Some people say, well, I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to do everything myself. I'm
Speaker 1: It's a network, you know. You hire people, You put
Speaker 1: people in a position to do a job, to help
Speaker 1: you manage the bulk of stuff that's coming in. And
Speaker 1: I think right now with the comedy Network, you don't
Speaker 1: realize it's a lot of comedians out there. I know
Speaker 1: them all. Even with the newer ones that are coming up.
Speaker 1: I've personally met a large amount of these people. You
Speaker 1: can't grab everybody. It's the beginning, you know. So we
Speaker 1: went out to who we felt we should go out too.
Speaker 1: And you know, right now, I think we shot fifty
Speaker 1: four specials with a hundred and something comedians. Um, we're
Speaker 1: about to shoot some more specials in Atlanta were doing
Speaker 1: half hour specials and then I'm gonna go to My
Speaker 1: and Me and shoot something. But We're then going to
Speaker 1: go to Australia and I'm gonna do uh an assortment
Speaker 1: of basically international comics from there. So this is a
Speaker 1: special realm. And then after that, I went to the
Speaker 1: Just for Last festival and I gave out deals. You know,
Speaker 1: I had a pitch fest where people came up and
Speaker 1: pitched ideas, and the ideas that I felt were amazing,
Speaker 1: I bought on the spot. So, man, I'm really just
Speaker 1: trying to give opportunities to this younger generation. So within
Speaker 1: my network, to all the comedians out there that feel
Speaker 1: like they're being overlooking, miss just be patient. You know,
Speaker 1: this is a startup it's a startup network. You can't
Speaker 1: do it all in one day. With the older comedians
Speaker 1: that that you've blown past in your career over the past,
Speaker 1: do you feel like you owed them anything like the
Speaker 1: one that may have put you on should early on.
Speaker 1: I don't owe anybody nothing. I don't I don't owe
Speaker 1: no man anything. I think one thing that I owe
Speaker 1: is is or the one I'll say it's not even
Speaker 1: a person. I owe the craft of stand up comedy something.
Speaker 1: You know, stand up comedy is what got me to
Speaker 1: where I am today. You know those doors are open
Speaker 1: because I tell jokes. So all those before me that
Speaker 1: have told jokes that made it to a certain level
Speaker 1: and that opened up those doors, they allowed me to
Speaker 1: walk through those same doors and create new doors that
Speaker 1: other people can walk into. So it's my job and
Speaker 1: my service to try to create more doors. It's not
Speaker 1: me owing people. I have relationships, I know people, but
Speaker 1: you gotta understand as a brand, as a business, I
Speaker 1: have to be smart about my movement because I don't
Speaker 1: want to be here today and go on tomorrow. So
Speaker 1: I played chess. I don't play checkers. It's a chess
Speaker 1: game for me. So a lot of networks have tried
Speaker 1: to become networks. A lot of these social media platforms
Speaker 1: that have been created have all failed, and you got
Speaker 1: to look at the blueprint of what's been done and
Speaker 1: why it failed. I've done my homework. I'm strategic. That's
Speaker 1: why I parted up with lions Gate. You sit fifty
Speaker 1: fifty on the board. I'm an owner of laugh Allowed Network.
Speaker 1: I'm a decision maker, but I partnered up with some
Speaker 1: people that make great decisions, but that do it on
Speaker 1: a high level. Ultimately, I'm gonna need those relationships. You're
Speaker 1: gonna need mine, I'm gonna need George. But let's be
Speaker 1: fifty fifty. Let's make it make sense. So I'm coming
Speaker 1: with the creative side, and they're coming with the creative side.
Speaker 1: So the people that are insane and comedy don't see that.
Speaker 1: They don't see what I'm dealing with behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: I got a budget TV network. Yeah, it's a subscription
Speaker 1: based comedy network about some established veteran It's like Martin Lawrence,
Speaker 1: I said he has a special comment or somebody like
Speaker 1: a Dave Chappelle. Is that something that you tried to
Speaker 1: do also for this, because that could be pretty it
Speaker 1: would be huge. But I think I think people need
Speaker 1: to see you need to see what it is, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go out and pull those pull
Speaker 1: those cards until people see I representation of what my
Speaker 1: network is. It's real, it's real deal, it's quality. But
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go out to a friend like
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, to a guy like Martin Lawrence or Chris
Speaker 1: Rock until they can see what I stand on. Do
Speaker 1: I have the money to pay those guys one hundred percent?
Speaker 1: What I pay those guys one hundred percent? But when
Speaker 1: I come, I need to know that I'm coming correct
Speaker 1: because I need to treat you to what you should
Speaker 1: be treated. I don't want to come and treat you
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm half ass on my side. I want
Speaker 1: to make sure that it's laid out in front of you,
Speaker 1: that you see the difference. Other people want to take take,
Speaker 1: take on. So how do I separate myself from the
Speaker 1: game people shows? And like I have, I brought two stages.
Speaker 1: I got two sound stages, so that lions Gate gave
Speaker 1: you this is all speculation is talking about speculation. We
Speaker 1: have no idea. Just made us talking about congratulations. We
Speaker 1: know you just got here from La too for your huge, major, major,
Speaker 1: major Thank you everybody that showed up. Man still blowing
Speaker 1: away by it. You know. I got to look around
Speaker 1: and just see everybody that was a part of that,
Speaker 1: you know, and by a part of that that's not
Speaker 1: just my star. You know. I looked around and I
Speaker 1: looked at everybody that's really really been involved in the
Speaker 1: growth of Kevin Hart from my friends and Heartbeat productions
Speaker 1: from my manager, Dave Becky, like I broke down. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna probably see it soon. You know, I was trying
Speaker 1: not to cry. But my manager, Me and my manager
Speaker 1: have been together for fourteen years on a handshake. There's
Speaker 1: no contract involved. I'm gonna do right by you, you
Speaker 1: do right by me, and we've never we've never swayed,
Speaker 1: You've never we've never veered on the wrong road. And
Speaker 1: that man has backed me and my visions for the
Speaker 1: longest time. So it was dope to see him there.
Speaker 1: Dave Becky, It was dope to see him there. Will Packer,
Speaker 1: Tim's Story, Ice Cube. They came down, they spoke, and
Speaker 1: that was special because that's a triangle that I hold
Speaker 1: responsible for the high level of success. Now you know
Speaker 1: Tim Story, Will Packer. Will is the first producer to
Speaker 1: go that guy should start in my movies and think
Speaker 1: like a man, think like a man too. This is
Speaker 1: back when you know nobody was really looking, but Will
Speaker 1: was always checking and Will fought to get me in
Speaker 1: that spot. Tim Story directed me and him is maintaining
Speaker 1: an amazing relationship. Me and Cube Cube is dope because
Speaker 1: everybody that's successful in stand up comedy in that urban
Speaker 1: world was touched you somehow. I don't care, I don't
Speaker 1: care who you are. Cuba has had his hand in
Speaker 1: there somehow. I called Cube an urban version of Judd Apato.
Speaker 1: How Judd Appetoe is responsible for so much comedic talent.
Speaker 1: Cuba's the same way. And I said, Q, when Rod
Speaker 1: Along came up and my name came up, Q jumped
Speaker 1: at it. He's like, we gotta get him. And there
Speaker 1: was conversations where it was like it wasn't a fight,
Speaker 1: but you know, it was like, all right, are you
Speaker 1: sure we're gonna go with Kevin Hart and Cube and
Speaker 1: Will and Tim. I was like, that's our god, that's
Speaker 1: what we want. So you stay true to that. You
Speaker 1: don't forget that. And I looked around. Man, it was
Speaker 1: just so much loyalty in a circle that was around
Speaker 1: that Hollywood Star event, and it just made me realize
Speaker 1: how important these relationships are. Why is that a big
Speaker 1: deal to Hollywood staring the Walk of Fame? For me,
Speaker 1: it was an accomplishment because it came out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: You know, it was something that was brought up and
Speaker 1: I was like, what, yeah, Kevin, they want to give
Speaker 1: you a star. You were voted. Studios voted you in
Speaker 1: and they said that you should get one your hard work,
Speaker 1: dedication to the craft. And I was like, and even
Speaker 1: me and the caress, I go there. I like to
Speaker 1: go and look at the stars and walk past and
Speaker 1: be like, oh, look who has a star. So they're
Speaker 1: gonna pee on mine on mine is on a pea street.
Speaker 1: Mines is on a heavy, heavy traffic pea part of Hollywood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you gotta know that just star is gonna get disrespected.
Speaker 1: But the fact that it's there, it's dope. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping they give me at least two weeks,
Speaker 1: give me a clean two weeks before I walk and
Speaker 1: see some pe on it. Because some areas with the
Speaker 1: stars are that's a real nice area, nice areas like
Speaker 1: I'm actually in the like, I'm in the good, like
Speaker 1: the good walk like it's not like you gotta go
Speaker 1: down and then you stuff like whoa, oh wait a minute,
Speaker 1: where we at the Hollywood and what they put him
Speaker 1: down here? Off for holler, I'm on a good street.
Speaker 1: Because you don't never, you don't care about the wards
Speaker 1: like I don't. Even when they ask you about the oscars,
Speaker 1: you was like, we do this for the Basically you said,
Speaker 1: we do it for the love and money is all speculations.
Speaker 1: To talk about all speculations. Clear. I just want to
Speaker 1: clear this up that every time Charlotte says anything about
Speaker 1: money speculations, legally, I have not tied myself to any
Speaker 1: amount that he said. Uh no, I'll say this. I'm
Speaker 1: not the guy that's in it for the awards. I'm
Speaker 1: not the guy that's doing this to say, Man, I
Speaker 1: can't wait till they give me mine. I don't look
Speaker 1: for that. I think that's why it's more special. When
Speaker 1: it looks for you, it humbles you. And that day
Speaker 1: now I broke down. You know, man, my mom was boiled.
Speaker 1: My mom passed away. A lot of she went through
Speaker 1: my head. Don't judge me. Also, I cried at the reception.
Speaker 1: I didn't cry on the altar. The reception was more
Speaker 1: emotional for us. The wedding was dope as hell. We
Speaker 1: didn't go traditional, you know, we put our own spin
Speaker 1: on it. And it was nice. It was very nice,
Speaker 1: you know. She she buckled a little bit um because
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just I'm major with the words. You know.
Speaker 1: When I put the romantic who put that on him?
Speaker 1: You know, she broke down. But at the reception, when
Speaker 1: people start giving a toast and just going down down,
Speaker 1: you know their memory lane and what they remember and
Speaker 1: why they're happy that. That buckled me a little bit. Basically, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did all mine. I ain't write nothing. I went
Speaker 1: off the heart. I got up there and and freestyleted, brother,
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel this. There you go. Stumbled a couple
Speaker 1: of times in the stumbled a couple of times. We
