Speaker 1: the guy bees to the planet. Guess what day it is.
Speaker 1: Guess what day it is? Hum Kanye day today is
Speaker 1: Kanye was winding day, Okay? And that's I was just
Speaker 1: asking a lot of Kanye going on your interview. Was
Speaker 1: making the rounds yesterday. Yeah, I saw as well as
Speaker 1: my man Van lathing because whatever reason, Kanye took his
Speaker 1: ass up to TMZ. Yes, and uh that was true
Speaker 1: Gemini stuff. Was that the same? It was that prerecorded
Speaker 1: also from the last time when he said they said,
Speaker 1: he came up there and played that. I think that
Speaker 1: was yesterday. He was on TMZ absolutely positively yesterday. That
Speaker 1: was live. Our interview was three weeks ago. It was
Speaker 1: what's the day? What is it? May is when I
Speaker 1: recorded that interview, So that was like what three weeks ago?
Speaker 1: Three weeks ago exactly. We had a lot to talk
Speaker 1: about Kanye. You know what I did yesterday? I did
Speaker 1: see that movie, Uh, what's what's the name of the
Speaker 1: movie where there's no talking in the movie. It's it's
Speaker 1: like a solid movie that it's ninety percent of a quiet,
Speaker 1: scary movie. Or they'll they'll kill us if we talk
Speaker 1: about something like that. I seen that my daughter was
Speaker 1: talking about. I can't remember the name of it. It's
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable. But no, just respect to anybody that's overweight.
Speaker 1: But you could tell the overweight people in the movie
Speaker 1: there and I'm not and I'm not. And the only
Speaker 1: reason I'm saying is and I hate so quiet. You
Speaker 1: can hit him, yes, no, no, you can hit him
Speaker 1: eating because it's quiet. So the only overweight people were
Speaker 1: eating because when you look around you you see who
Speaker 1: it is, and then you'd be like, yeah, listen, man,
Speaker 1: stop body shaming man, because I'm not. You got grown
Speaker 1: men like Kanye getting lightpol suction man because they don't
Speaker 1: want to get teased the way Rob Kardashian got teased. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's sad man. He got LPO suction because of that.
Speaker 1: And and I wanted to ask you too. I'm not laughing.
Speaker 1: Does he have friends around him? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Like Kanye have real true friends, but his wife, I
Speaker 1: don't know his best friend. I mean it should be,
Speaker 1: but there's certain thing is that my wife, My wife's
Speaker 1: not gonna allow me to get light bol section, especially
Speaker 1: after my mom died from a procedure. My my wife
Speaker 1: is not gonna let My friends are not gonna let me.
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you do all kind of what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if the family's into it, why not. Like
Speaker 1: I got a whole entire family does plastic surgery, So
Speaker 1: how can they tell you not to? Yeah? I guess.
Speaker 1: But like I got a friend that's overweight, right and
Speaker 1: I call him every day and encourage him, or you
Speaker 1: hit the gym today, what you eat today? Because I
Speaker 1: want him to lose weight the proper way, the right way,
Speaker 1: because I'm his friend, you know, I got another friend
Speaker 1: that has had a drinking problem. I call him every day.
Speaker 1: You're good as everything, like, because that's my friend. Listen,
Speaker 1: you know y'all like to say I'll be fat shaming.
Speaker 1: So I'm quick to tell a person they need to
Speaker 1: go to the gym. You know, put that damn that
Speaker 1: pizza that's likes a pizza down. Okay, So I have
Speaker 1: no problem telling somebody that. But I've never heard a
Speaker 1: man say they got light persuction. Apparently that's the thing, though,
Speaker 1: because yesterday the only man who's gotten light post who
Speaker 1: was hitting me yesterday saying that's the thing. They say.
Speaker 1: You can get like a little bit of fat taking
Speaker 1: out your man boobs, you get something taking out the
Speaker 1: mid area. I see, some guys could not even be
Speaker 1: really overweight, and we'll has some type of man boobs.
Speaker 1: If it's called something, I forget what they called. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's a really name for it. And they actually
Speaker 1: have to get surgery because no matter how much weight
Speaker 1: they lose, they'll still have it. All I know. The

Speaker 1: One was in Brooklyn at the Juice Bar, and then
Speaker 1: I had one up here, and then I had one downtown.

Speaker 1: Let's getting some front page news now that Cavaliers beat
Speaker 1: the Raptors last night. No, yeah, Cavaliers beat the Raptors
Speaker 1: last night. You got the wrong score. This says one thirteen,
Speaker 1: one twenty two, but I think it's one thirteen, one twelve.
Speaker 1: Last night Cavsley one oh. Golden State Warriors beat the
Speaker 1: Pelicans one twenty one, one, sixteen. Now let's talk about
Speaker 1: you're talking about Facebook. Yes, Now Facebook is getting into
Speaker 1: online dating. You just can set up a dating profile.
Speaker 1: It'll be just be your first name, and it won't
Speaker 1: be visible to your friends and it won't appear in
Speaker 1: news feeds. And then they'll actually help you hook up
Speaker 1: with people that you're not already friends with, so it
Speaker 1: won't be like, oh, you know, one of the people
Speaker 1: that's already in your network. And that's all part of
Speaker 1: a broader effort to trying to get people to spend
Speaker 1: as much time as possible on Facebook. Having all these
Speaker 1: different services in one place. They also created marketplace where
Speaker 1: people can browse items for sale nearby. That's going to
Speaker 1: compete with Craigslist and eBay. And you can also order
Speaker 1: to take out directly from restaurants like Chipotle, Panera, and
Speaker 1: Papa John's, just like seamless and grubhub do parst of
Speaker 1: all Facebook, You're late, Okay, people have been using Facebook
Speaker 1: as a day dating app. Yeah, it's just not officially,
Speaker 1: I guess stopping. You know, many people don't got a
Speaker 1: pregnant on Facebook, married off Facebook, knock it off connectedness,
Speaker 1: people from the past. That's what else you want to
Speaker 1: talk about from part right? Well, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the story in Brooklyn. Now, a Brooklyn jail guard,
Speaker 1: his massive hook shaped penis, which isn't circumcised, is what
Speaker 1: helped the Feds catch him for sexually assaulting inmates. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: what what? What do you mean? Explain? I'd like to
Speaker 1: hit more. Right. So, he was, I guess, forcing women
Speaker 1: to do things with him like perform oral sex and
Speaker 1: dropping their pants and masturbating in front of them. Lieutenant
Speaker 1: Eugenio perett Euhenio Perez is the person at the Metropolitan
Speaker 1: Detention Center, and he's accused of forcing these women to
Speaker 1: give him oral sex. They said they were able to
Speaker 1: get him because multiple accusers came forward and described what
Speaker 1: his penis looked like. They said it was huge, They
Speaker 1: said it was hook shaped. They also said he wasn't circumcised. Now,
Speaker 1: one of the inmates testified, if it didn't stink, I
Speaker 1: would have been all over that ish. She said the
Speaker 1: odor was pussy. What I'm glad they called him. You
Speaker 1: gotta clean that schmagma. Man, you out there, it's not circumcised. Hey,
Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning. Man with foreskin, man
Speaker 1: peel that thing back, take a Q tip to that thing. Man. Now.
Speaker 1: The woman who said that, she was jailed at the
Speaker 1: time on a drug charge, but she's been released, and
Speaker 1: she said he first approached her when she was getting
Speaker 1: cleaning supplies from the lieutenant's office. That's exactly what he
Speaker 1: needed to clean his supply clean feet. And then she
Speaker 1: said she first embraced his hugs and kisses because she
Speaker 1: was lonely. She said, then he tried to push my
Speaker 1: head down so I could I can't say this, And
Speaker 1: then she said, I felt youth at that point, and
Speaker 1: I felt like I was making a mistake. I wanted
Speaker 1: to be touched by another human being, but it just
Speaker 1: wasn't him. I just was lonely. It made me feel
Speaker 1: normal again a lot, because when you're in jail you
Speaker 1: feel dead. Imagine being in courting. Somebody says you'll meet
Speaker 1: steak in front of a whole court room. Well, I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot worse. Like he has to go
Speaker 1: to jail for law I too, So he would arrange
Speaker 1: for them to clean on the second floor. He would
Speaker 1: expose his penis through the zipper of his pants, masturbate
Speaker 1: and then demand oral sex and then they said, according
Speaker 1: to all the different female inmates who testified, there was
Speaker 1: even a pattern to how he ejaculated into a paper
Speaker 1: towel and then he would fold it up and dispose it.
Speaker 1: Come on, all you uncircumcised brother man, you can keep
Speaker 1: your penis is clean? All right? Is spring spring cleaning
Speaker 1: for your force? Getting pleased? Goodness? All right? And that's news.

Speaker 1: Kanye West being only some things that I've seen on
Speaker 1: Twitter and the whole TMZ thing or whatever. But I
Speaker 1: would like people to have the same energy that they
Speaker 1: had when Kim Galziac was like, uh, Plagy wasn't all
Speaker 1: that real. I would like to have the same energy
Speaker 1: with his brother talking about with a choice. Okay, you

Speaker 1: keep it positive for yourself. That's what I say. I
Speaker 1: don't let anybody else dictate what my mood is gonna be.

Speaker 1: at first, I'm not gonna lie. I was on a
Speaker 1: little kind of like cancel Kanye trained at first, But
Speaker 1: after watching an interview with Charlotte Mayne the Guy yesterday
Speaker 1: with him and whole TEAMZ situation, I kind of feel
Speaker 1: bad for Kanye. Now. I kind of feel like Kanye
Speaker 1: really does need some type of help. He definitely definitely
Speaker 1: need tell me he put his phone down. He needs
Speaker 1: some friends around him, He definitely needs I mean he
Speaker 1: told y'all, he all mad. He definitely needs a translated
Speaker 1: because he does not know how to communicate. But you know,
Speaker 1: like I like, I keep telling Kanye, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta measure twice and cut once when it comes to
Speaker 1: your thought, because I'm sure that you treat the fabric,
Speaker 1: your fabrics better than you do your thoughts. You know,
Speaker 1: when you're design and clothe, you don't just go cutting
Speaker 1: up fabrics, do you measure you cut correctly. That's what
Speaker 1: he needs to start doing. Measure twice, cut correct And
Speaker 1: here I kind of knows how you talking about the
Speaker 1: whole how what he wanted to do in the future
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But right now, I think, kan't

Speaker 1: do it, Kanye, what's Wednesday told? I told Charlomagne now
Speaker 1: we were gonna revisit this topic after the interview drop. Okay,
Speaker 1: And first of all, interview was the most tired, drawing, out,
Speaker 1: boring over so crap I've heard in a long time. Geez,
Speaker 1: definitely this and pieces of brilliant Kanye mean within the interview,
Speaker 1: but he was still rambling too much about rich person
Speaker 1: stuff that nobody cares about. I enjoyed the piece about Jay,
Speaker 1: but got absolutely nothing out of the conversation around Trump,
Speaker 1: which leads me to you, mister Tarloman the guy. Yes,
Speaker 1: because this is probably one of your worst interviews that
Speaker 1: I've ever seen you do, and I've probably seen you
Speaker 1: do almost every single interview. I see a lot of
Speaker 1: people saying they thought it was an excellent interview and
Speaker 1: that he is Oprah travel. Let me ask your question.
Speaker 1: You do realize, you do realize the interview was three
Speaker 1: weeks ago, right way before he put on the Maga
Speaker 1: hat and all that other stuff. Right, So, but the
Speaker 1: same about it is he still was talking about Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and you used to be a man of the
Speaker 1: people and you used to give every and anybody the
Speaker 1: credit they deserved because they deserved it. You gave Floyd
Speaker 1: may Whether don don't get to day for Trump, You
Speaker 1: gave Mary Mary don't you did today for Trump. But yes,
Speaker 1: you didn't get it even draft. Did you ask him?
Speaker 1: Did you ask him who he's given don to today? Draft? Yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: and and all of the that's the thing that I
Speaker 1: want to say, like, don't give it to him now
Speaker 1: because you gave him the Charlemagne care package. No, I'm
Speaker 1: giving him giving I'm giving him donkey to day for
Speaker 1: a specific reason for him saying that four hundred years
Speaker 1: of slavery was a choice. Just like I gave Mary
Speaker 1: Mary donkey today for a specific reason because she said
Speaker 1: that she likes Donald Trump because of his Christian views.
Speaker 1: Just like I gave Floyd Mayweather Don't get to Day
Speaker 1: was a specific reason because he said that grabbing him
Speaker 1: by the poop poem was just locker room talk. See,
Speaker 1: they're all specific reasons, but you don't listen. So let Charlemagne. Yes,
Speaker 1: because not only did you not give him donkey today,
Speaker 1: he gave him to Charlemagne care package. You gave him
Speaker 1: the Lust Edition Charlemagne care package. Ye. Yeah, he gave
Speaker 1: himself Chalomane gave himself donkey today, bitch, yeah, because because
Speaker 1: I wanted to. I wanted to wait until people saw
Speaker 1: the interview. And I'm not mad at your opinion of
Speaker 1: the interview, but I mean, listen, really pays attention. I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think. I don't think Trav really
Speaker 1: paid attention because Travis acting like TRAVI acting like you're
Speaker 1: acting like I just accepted him saying that, uh he
Speaker 1: likes Donald Trump. You know that wasn't let me say this.
Speaker 1: Don't try to give him donkey today now because of
Speaker 1: his comments yesterday be barding slavery, because you should have
Speaker 1: got him the other day. He was beating around the bush,
Speaker 1: no shade, but she was beating around the bush. So
Speaker 1: keep your donkey today and give you the person to
Speaker 1: credit who really deserves donkey today today, which is you.
Speaker 1: I gave myself don't get two weeks ago. You're not
Speaker 1: making no sendas now. I gotta take now. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you to take your opinion and shove it up.
Speaker 1: You like this, okay, t goodness gracious travels shady this morning. Hey,
Speaker 1: listen man Travis and tighter to his opinion. Absolutely, all right,
Speaker 1: get it off your chest. Eight hundred and five eight
Speaker 1: five one on five one. When we come back, I
Speaker 1: know we're talking, yay, Yes, you know we are. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about light bo suction. Let's talk about slavery and
Speaker 1: uh Kanye West. How do all those things intertwine? All right,
Speaker 1: we'll do it when we come back. Keep the lockes
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club, Go Morning the Breakfast Club, DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela ye Shlam mean the guy. We all the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the rooms. Let's talk Kanye. She's filling
Speaker 1: the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee
Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club. Well, Kanye went to TMZ yesterday
Speaker 1: and had some things to say. He was on TMZ
Speaker 1: Live and he, amongst many of the things that he said,
Speaker 1: this is the one thing that really really really went
Speaker 1: viral and struck accord and a lot of people and
Speaker 1: had a lot of us upset. And here's what Kanye
Speaker 1: said about slavery in his own words. You hear about
Speaker 1: slavery for four hundred years, for four hundred years, that
Speaker 1: sounds like a choice. It's like we're mentally in prison.
Speaker 1: I like the word prison because slavery goes to direct
Speaker 1: to the idea of blacks. It's like slavery holocaust, holocaust
Speaker 1: Jus slavery is blacks. So prison is something that unites
Speaker 1: us as one race. Kanye having a terrible you don't
Speaker 1: know how to communicate with people. But Van Lathan, who
Speaker 1: is in the TMZ newsroom, responded, and here is what
Speaker 1: he had to say about this free thinking. You're entiled
Speaker 1: to your opinion, You're entiled to believe whatever you want,
Speaker 1: but there is fact and real world, real life consequence.
Speaker 1: While you are making music and being an artist and
Speaker 1: living a life that you've earned, the rest of us
Speaker 1: in society have to deal with these threats to our lives.
Speaker 1: We have to deal with the marginalization that has come
Speaker 1: from the four hundred years of slavery that you said
Speaker 1: for our people was a choice. Frankly, I'm disappointed, and brother,
Speaker 1: I am unbelievably hurt by the fact that you have
Speaker 1: morphed into something to me that's not real. Love that
Speaker 1: I understand what Kanye was trying to say. Now, Kanye
Speaker 1: went on Twitter and said, to make myself clear, of
Speaker 1: course I know the slaves did not get shackled and
Speaker 1: put on a boat by free will. My appoint is
Speaker 1: for us to have stayed in that position even though
Speaker 1: the numbers were on our side, means that we were
Speaker 1: mentally enslaved. They cut out our tongue so we couldn't
Speaker 1: communicate to each other. I will not allow my tongue
Speaker 1: to be cut, so I guess that was a choice.
Speaker 1: Kanye versus the media is the modern day Willie Lynch theory.
Speaker 1: They hung the most powerful in order to force fair
Speaker 1: into the others. They can no longer stop our voice
Speaker 1: than that Turner movie never made it anywhere because it
Speaker 1: showed slaves revolting and understood and understand why my god
Speaker 1: brother Puff caused his network revolt. If this was one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight years ago, I would have been
Speaker 1: more like Harriet or net. A lot of people say
Speaker 1: what they would have did in that situation. By the way,
Speaker 1: the universe has a plan. I knew that TMZ would
Speaker 1: be awesome. We are programmed to always talk and fight
Speaker 1: race issues. We need to update our conversation. The reason
Speaker 1: why I brought up the four hundred years point is
Speaker 1: because we can't be mentally imprisoned for another four hundred years.
Speaker 1: We need free thought now. And then he says he's
Speaker 1: being attacked for presenting new ideas. And then he also says,
Speaker 1: I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a
Speaker 1: thousand more if only they knew they were slaves. Harriet
Speaker 1: Tubman tell me quote. I mean he's acting like slaves
Speaker 1: didn't rebel. Slaves did. Rebels did revolte. Some slaves jumped
Speaker 1: off the ship because as killed. Morgan said, they knew
Speaker 1: that death was better than bondage. So I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not like slaves just sat around and were slaves. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: some of them were psychologically imbonded. And you know you
Speaker 1: had those house and need girls who were just like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm happy here, don't don't, don't rattle things up on
Speaker 1: the plantation. But plenty of slaves rebels now Marchaelamont Hill
Speaker 1: tweeted out, there has never been a moment in history
Speaker 1: when black people didn't resist slavery. Some did it by
Speaker 1: jumping off ships, some killed masters, some ran away, some
Speaker 1: did it through everyday forms of resistant slave masters didn't retire.
Speaker 1: Our resistance led to our freedom. And then and I
Speaker 1: just kind of said that. But yeah, well, I'm reading
Speaker 1: other things that people said, and then another person and
Speaker 1: John Legend has been retweeting a lot of what people
Speaker 1: have been saying. Harriet Tubman never said that there are
Speaker 1: freed a thousand slaves. This fake quote is actually pro slavery,
Speaker 1: since it implies that slaves deserved their condition because of
Speaker 1: ignorance or inherent civility. Now, hold on, that's the first
Speaker 1: time I saw that yesterday that Harry teld me never
Speaker 1: said that. I'm hearing. I've been hearing that quote my
Speaker 1: whole life from actually looked it up to and dollars.
Speaker 1: That's never been actually confirmed as a quote from her.
Speaker 1: I got, I don't, I gotta. I don't believe that.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that all that for the first time yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's just some social media biers.
Speaker 1: I've never ever ever heard somebody say that's not But
Speaker 1: if you google it, you'll see that from years ago
Speaker 1: that people have said that quote is not a real quote.
Speaker 1: I literally hear people say that quote for years all
Speaker 1: right now. Kanye West also had this to say about
Speaker 1: liposuction while he was at TMZ, but I was drug
Speaker 1: the yot bro and I was addicted to opioids. Two
Speaker 1: days I got off of opioids. I'm in the hospital.
Speaker 1: I had plastic surgery because I was trying to look
Speaker 1: good for y'all. I got liposuction because I didn't want
Speaker 1: y'all to call me fat like y'all call Rob at
Speaker 1: the wedding and made him fly home before me and
Speaker 1: Kim got marry. That's not funny, serious, that's sounds funny.
Speaker 1: That man has problems, man. He has either he's believing
Speaker 1: on y'all because I wanted I ain't want y'all know, Man,
Speaker 1: you gotta work on your security. He has a lot
Speaker 1: of problems. Man. The man is being honest. Okay, I've
Speaker 1: never heard a man admit to having any type of
Speaker 1: lightbel sucks And apparently that's the thing that comes out
Speaker 1: here getting an ab sculpting. They're getting a little TV
Speaker 1: something that somebody had no idea. All right, is Ya
Speaker 1: was chubby earlier this year. I saw him in March.
Speaker 1: He had lost week. I just thought he was running
Speaker 1: into something and then you know, we gave way back fast.
Speaker 1: He told me it was the man that made him bigger.
Speaker 1: All Right, you guys that we gotta keep it moving.
Speaker 1: I'm Angela. Yeah, that's your room report. All right, when
Speaker 1: we come back, if you haven't heard, we're gonna play
Speaker 1: the interview with Kanye West and Charlomagne. He taped it
Speaker 1: with three weeks three weeks ago, yeah, actually a week today.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get that on now and then, uh,
Speaker 1: let us know what you think. Hit us up on
Speaker 1: social media and we're gonna get that on and we
Speaker 1: come back. Don't move. It's to Breakfast Club come morning morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. So three weeks ago, Charlemagne got
Speaker 1: a chance to sit down with Kanye West and to
Speaker 1: talk about everything. Kanye released an interview yesterday and we're
Speaker 1: gonna get it on right now. Let's get into part one.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club Goal Morning. The first question is
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm feeling good. People have heard about
Speaker 1: you in the news. Was Kanye West was having a
Speaker 1: mental breakdown, So mentally, where are you? I think I'm
Speaker 1: in a stronger place than I than I ever was
Speaker 1: after the breakdown, or I like to say the breakthrough.
Speaker 1: What do you think caused the mental breakdown. Fear, stress, control,
Speaker 1: being control, manipulation, like being a pawn and a chess
Speaker 1: piece of life, stressing things that create like validation that
Speaker 1: I didn't need to worry about as much, and you
Speaker 1: know that just this is the concept of competition and
Speaker 1: being in competition with so many you know, elements at
Speaker 1: one time on a race against time, your age, Oh yo,
Speaker 1: you're getting old, race against popularity. On the radio, Klik
Speaker 1: got the song. Drake got this song on radio's playing
Speaker 1: the death Saint Paulo ain't playing. I could do that, man,
Speaker 1: take the whole I could take the whole interview talking
Speaker 1: about Yeah, it's interesting because you never you've been the
Speaker 1: guy that has always created the flow, not gone with
Speaker 1: the flow. So it seems like you were a little
Speaker 1: upsetting that you weren't a part of the flow. It
Speaker 1: was weird. I was looking at you know, we're doing
Speaker 1: Sat poplo and the cultural impact is incredible, but I'm
Speaker 1: looking for other forms of validation when there's other frequencies
Speaker 1: and other currencies. So just because it's not playing on
Speaker 1: the radio, of course, we had you know, father stretches
Speaker 1: in the club and on the radio. A bit like
Speaker 1: it went to number one. You know, to put that
Speaker 1: same amount, if not more work into a piece of work.
Speaker 1: And then you used to it coming out like graduation
Speaker 1: where everything is everywhere. You know, it's frustrated. And really,
Speaker 1: ever since the Taylor Swift moment, it just had never
Speaker 1: had never been the same connection with radio. It's like,
Speaker 1: whatever powers that be, it was much harder after that.
Speaker 1: And then also you know La leaving Universal, like you know,
Speaker 1: he had that radio locked. So if you're an artist
Speaker 1: and you signed to a major label, you want to
Speaker 1: be on the radio's basically if you if you popular,
Speaker 1: if you pop him, you know, if you want the
Speaker 1: most famous people on the planning and people love your
Speaker 1: music and all the best artists in the world are
Speaker 1: coming to your concert and all friends is like, you know,
Speaker 1: snapchat themselves at the shows and you're selling merch out
Speaker 1: like that, it seems like, okay, radio should just be intacted.
Speaker 1: It might be just a piece of information that I
Speaker 1: was missing that wasn't being expressed to me that I
Speaker 1: didn't understand because at the end of the day, someone's
Speaker 1: controlling it and I didn't I didn't understand it. But
Speaker 1: the radio con the radio element was just one of
Speaker 1: the factors. There's like the situation with my wife in
Speaker 1: Paris and all of the elements of like you feeling like,
Speaker 1: you know, helpless, You're feeling like what can you do?
Speaker 1: A thousand you know, I had like went to Paris
Speaker 1: on that trip to protect her, but not protect her,
Speaker 1: you know, physically, but to go and just help her
Speaker 1: with her looks because she's in Paris. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: let me put my eye on it personally while she's
Speaker 1: out in Paris to make sure she bust ask you know,
Speaker 1: just also like get fly. And one of the things
Speaker 1: that she said that she heard is that they were
Speaker 1: coming to robber and they had to wait till I
Speaker 1: had I had left and when I find it, and
Speaker 1: that the people have been strategizing and scheming on that
Speaker 1: for a long time. So when she probably got the
Speaker 1: Paris by herself, they were like, okay, this is our chance. Next,
Speaker 1: you know, I get off on the flight the next
Speaker 1: day and they were like, oh, okay, we got to
Speaker 1: like fall back. And then you know, when I left.
Speaker 1: A couple of days later, I'm on stage and I
Speaker 1: hear that my boys. Kaya comes up to me and says,
Speaker 1: you know, your wife was robbed, and I at that point,
Speaker 1: I didn't know the whole element of the whole story
Speaker 1: of what was happening previous to that. You know, just
Speaker 1: one week before that or two weeks before that, I
Speaker 1: had done a fashion show and I was forty five
Speaker 1: minutes late, and they Lebron to me bro like men
Speaker 1: when Lebron went to like when Lebron went to Miami
Speaker 1: and it just killed him and like burned his like
Speaker 1: jersey and all that. It's like I just downe the
Speaker 1: MSG young thug on stage, you know, and then go
Speaker 1: and plug in an iPhone with sixteen thousand people, everybody
Speaker 1: in the audience, whoever you want to name, and you know,
Speaker 1: stream and live all this like a breakthrough. And as
Speaker 1: soon as I was forty five minutes late, I felt
Speaker 1: it was the fashion community getting the right to say
Speaker 1: there without saying it, to be like, yo, we know
Speaker 1: you come through stepping on next and all that and
Speaker 1: what you're doing, your approaches things and stuff, but if
Speaker 1: you get out of line, boy, we're gonna roast you.
Speaker 1: And it affected me because I'm an artist, and it
Speaker 1: affected me like emotionally. It's like all these things were
Speaker 1: like almost set up to put me on mats to
Speaker 1: break me down the robbery, Like, I don't you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know where that you know, where that came from?
Speaker 1: The you know, was that a bigger plan, a bigger setup?
Speaker 1: You know? Also, just be on stage four times, and
Speaker 1: I mean four times a week, you know, you get
Speaker 1: exhausted up there. So he was mentally exhausted, emotionally exhausted,
Speaker 1: physically exhausted everything. Yeah. Yeah, did you go to therapy
Speaker 1: at all? Because I feel like this is a lot
Speaker 1: to unpack and I'm sure you're to go to God
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. So it's like, who was
Speaker 1: to go to God? Go to? So I'm sure you
Speaker 1: had to go to some therapist. Nah. I use the
Speaker 1: world as my therapy. As my therapist, anyone I talk
Speaker 1: to is my therapist. I would pull them into the
Speaker 1: conversation of when I'm feeling at that point and get
Speaker 1: their perspective. Sometimes they'd be like, damn, I'm talking to yay,
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting to talk about this. I'll use you know,
Speaker 1: I'll talk through things anybody that I'm around. And I
Speaker 1: put that as advice to people. It's like, use people
Speaker 1: around you as your therapist because they probably know more
Speaker 1: about you, Like a therapist is like does a crash
Speaker 1: course in ya and then comes it's like I want
Speaker 1: to give you, you know, some advice. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that the therapist of that. I'm just saying that
Speaker 1: I like just talking to acquaintance, friends, family, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'll keep them on the phone, you know, for forty
Speaker 1: five minutes at a time, talking through things. It's like
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of narcissistic, you know, uh, talk about
Speaker 1: my problems using the energy even like just then being
Speaker 1: a sounding board and talking through it. So but when
Speaker 1: when when it comes to you know, I guess mental
Speaker 1: healthhold to speak, you seem to be in a good
Speaker 1: space mentally, So how did how did you get that
Speaker 1: you just talk through it with people? Or wasn't music
Speaker 1: we've seen returning to Twitter now just getting these thoughts
Speaker 1: out therapeutic for you. Yeah, but I'm not even the
Speaker 1: thoughts that I'm getting down on Twitter right now and
Speaker 1: that you know, I think everything is therapeutic, but I'm
Speaker 1: not doing it as a you know, a form of
Speaker 1: personal therapy. It's just an innate feeling. I just I
Speaker 1: want to express I decided to use this platform to
Speaker 1: express some breakthroughs that I've had since going to the hospital.
Speaker 1: What are some of those breakthroughs? You know, you said
Speaker 1: something about the fashion world and how you felt like
Speaker 1: when you were forty five minutes late, they tried to
Speaker 1: cut your head off. It's kind of the same thing
Speaker 1: with Taylor Swift when you got on stage and you know,
Speaker 1: interrupted her acceptance. It's like, do you feel like whenever
Speaker 1: you're in spaces where you're tolerated as opposed to celebrate it,
Speaker 1: they let they remind you of that. Oh yeah, you
Speaker 1: get reminded all the time. But the reminders don't mean
Speaker 1: nothing to me anymore because I've broken it. You know,
Speaker 1: this is this is an erma's level existence at this point.
Speaker 1: You know, like you look at a birken bag, the
Speaker 1: way it's made, the more scratches on it, the more
Speaker 1: the more value it has. You know. So all those things,
Speaker 1: those pieces of the story have created who I am today.
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't turn down anything like I always I
Speaker 1: would be thinking about you as I was recovering, and
Speaker 1: I always thought I'm gonna go and talk to Charlemagne first,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to say like there was elements
Speaker 1: about going to the hospital and having a breakdown or
Speaker 1: breakthrough that was fired. It was incredible, the feeling, it
Speaker 1: was incredible, you know, saying well on the song St. Pablo,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm praying an outer body experience that happens
Speaker 1: so people can see my light and know it's not
Speaker 1: just rapping. Right now, if you're just joining us, this
Speaker 1: is Charlemagne sit down interview with Kanye West. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get some more back on when we come back. This
Speaker 1: is Kanye talking about his relationship with jay Z. So
Speaker 1: don't move. It's a breakfast club one morning, the breakfast
Speaker 1: club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy.
Speaker 1: We are the breakfast club. Now. Three weeks ago, Charlemagne
Speaker 1: sat down with Geezy. They had a conversation about everything, sneakers, Trump,
Speaker 1: jay Z, his family, and we're gonna get that on
Speaker 1: right now. Check it out. The last time Kanye felt
Speaker 1: like he has something to learn every day. Every day
Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn something, and every day I get
Speaker 1: you know, I get afraid. I'm I'm fearful of things,
Speaker 1: and I just use bravery to overcome when I'm fearful
Speaker 1: of I mean the quote. It's the quote people always say,
Speaker 1: the wise man knows he knows nothing. I'm learning and
Speaker 1: now I'm expressing some things that I felt. And if
Speaker 1: they mean something to you at this time, then great.
Speaker 1: If not, then you know, don't don't use them. So
Speaker 1: you know a lot of um, you know, I think
Speaker 1: me and um Jay's uh issue, my my issue. It
Speaker 1: just came down to information. I'm super hungry for information.
Speaker 1: I'm I need information more than I need validation, more
Speaker 1: than I need finance. I need like if I learned
Speaker 1: how to fish, then I can feed my family forever.
Speaker 1: So I'm just constantly looking for the information information, How
Speaker 1: do I set up a factory? So you feel like
Speaker 1: Jay was tossing you money as opposed to give you information.
Speaker 1: And you know the infamous line on four four four
Speaker 1: is you know I gave Kanye twenty meal without thinking.
Speaker 1: He gave me twenty minutes on stage. You know what
Speaker 1: was he thinking? I think twenty mil without blinking, whatever
Speaker 1: it was, he gave me twenty million dollars. That concept
Speaker 1: that you gave me, that he gave me the money,
Speaker 1: that's what frustrated me, because actually the money was he
Speaker 1: got from Live Nation. He Bright Nations managed me at
Speaker 1: the time. That's something normal that someone gives someone a
Speaker 1: touring deal. It was a touring deal. But the fact
Speaker 1: that it was worded that it came from him. I'm
Speaker 1: a very loyal, emotional, like artist person, you know, that
Speaker 1: made me feel like I owed more just the money itself,
Speaker 1: for the fact that it came from him. You know,
Speaker 1: it just put me under a bit more of a
Speaker 1: kind of controlled situation. It's like, and I don't I'm
Speaker 1: only acting out of love. I don't need to be controlled.
Speaker 1: I just need to be inspired and informed and I
Speaker 1: can be the best Ya in that way. But if
Speaker 1: I have to, I gave you this on it and
Speaker 1: I don't have the full information of how it happened.
Speaker 1: Now that said, I think there was some love in
Speaker 1: that because on Jay's part, because he did have to
Speaker 1: co sign for it. When the Live Nations and these
Speaker 1: different companies wouldn't co sign for me and I was
Speaker 1: in debt. Jay did have to go up and say
Speaker 1: I'm a co sign for ya. So the thing is,
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those ones that have you ever
Speaker 1: done something where you did something for someone that's positive,
Speaker 1: but it was something about the way you did it
Speaker 1: that kind of like blew the whole thing up. So
Speaker 1: Jay did something that was positive, but the fact that
Speaker 1: I didn't receive the information in the right way, I
Speaker 1: you know, because I always feel like, man, I'm not
Speaker 1: hearing Hollywood, I'm not here, like my mom's past, I
Speaker 1: don't know who I can trust. I don't trust nobody.
Speaker 1: And Jay was a big brother. Big brother. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like both of y'all might have reacted emotionally though,
Speaker 1: meaning that like you reacted emotionally when you was on
Speaker 1: stage and you ranted and then he replied in a record.
Speaker 1: You know, that's not really his his character to do
Speaker 1: something like that, to put out like this is what
Speaker 1: I did for such as such. I mean, yeah, but
Speaker 1: he he did it in a brotherly way. You know,
Speaker 1: he could have went all. He could have released an
Speaker 1: entire record or something like. That's just a bar. You
Speaker 1: could have could have went crazy, got every single piece
Speaker 1: of information as possible, all my life and stuff. No,
Speaker 1: the finances are you know, so um, even like when
Speaker 1: I tweeted I was in debt, that gave me power
Speaker 1: that I took my power back because it's like someone
Speaker 1: trying to say, like, Yo, if you say this, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be cool no more. And it's like, man,
Speaker 1: my financial situation don't make me. Yeah, I'm in debt
Speaker 1: now what and I'm still Yeah you did the minem
Speaker 1: and Amy, let you say it about myself before somebody
Speaker 1: else can use it against me. Yeah, that's what I
Speaker 1: call living your truth. Live your truth, so you know
Speaker 1: you live the truth, nobody can use your truth against you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, um, when you and Jay that now we're good.
Speaker 1: You know we were tweeting. I mean we're texting each other.
Speaker 1: It's positive energy. Have y'all seen each other? I haven't
Speaker 1: seen him, but I could feel him. Or you know
Speaker 1: what keeps what keeps brothers like y'all from just yo,
Speaker 1: come to the house, man, let's have a meal. Let's
Speaker 1: let's let's sit down and talk faith to face out
Speaker 1: of Eyecause every time I, you know, see him doing
Speaker 1: an interview, whether they would let him in whoever, he's saying,
Speaker 1: that's my brother, Like I love him. Like, so what
Speaker 1: stops you off from just face to face communication? We'll
Speaker 1: do it sometimes. Also, like when you have like such
Speaker 1: similar personalities and people are you know, creating their own
Speaker 1: existence in their own world and their own simulation or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, they need to do it on their own.
Speaker 1: Jay said, you went too far talking about his family.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you feel like you went too far?
Speaker 1: What pends on how you look at it. If we're family,
Speaker 1: if we're brothers and we are family, then then it's
Speaker 1: my family. If we're business associates and this, then it
Speaker 1: was too far. Got you, you know, respectfully? You know, um,
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta say I always hurt about them
Speaker 1: not coming to the wedding. I understand it was going
Speaker 1: through some things. But if it's family, you know, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna miss a wedding, you know. And I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not using this interview to put any negative things,
Speaker 1: but I gotta state, yeah, I gotta state my truth.
Speaker 1: Like and then that one thing happens and another thing happens,
Speaker 1: is another thing, have another things happening. You just start
Speaker 1: come up with all type of crazy ideas in your
Speaker 1: head and stuff like why and it obviously it's me.
Speaker 1: I'm like wild our personality and stuff from like the cousin.
Speaker 1: You can't bring nowhere all this type of stuff obviously. Uh.
Speaker 1: But that's interesting about the wedding. Did they not come
Speaker 1: because you know when the press it was Beyonce they
Speaker 1: have a problem with Kim, or you know, they don't
Speaker 1: like all the Kardashian reality show type thing. Or maybe
Speaker 1: now in hindsight, maybe it was because they had their
Speaker 1: own issues that they was trying to work out. What
Speaker 1: do you think it was? I'm not sure. I'm past it,
Speaker 1: but at the time I was hurt about it. Did
Speaker 1: you ask them? I don't think I've asked them that
Speaker 1: question directly, maybe talking through someone at worked with him
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. But I think you gotta
Speaker 1: address what bothers you. Hey, I think that's what might
Speaker 1: be causing that, what causes the breakthroughs, You know, when
Speaker 1: you're not asking the things that you want to ask,
Speaker 1: Like those are questions you can get answered for. Like
Speaker 1: some things you can't get answered for, but that one
Speaker 1: you can get an answered for. I don't think the
Speaker 1: answer fixes it. True. I want to go back to
Speaker 1: something you said speaking about fixing something like, how did you,
Speaker 1: as a man forgive yourself for you know, you said
Speaker 1: you feel like you let your the wife down because
Speaker 1: you hired the security. How did you get over that,
Speaker 1: because that's not your fault. That's a chance. I mean,
Speaker 1: she wasn't here. I would never forgive myself, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just bucked out. When you're super high profile and
Speaker 1: this celebrity, the concept of celebrity. You're like as famous
Speaker 1: as the president, but you don't have National Guard with you.
Speaker 1: You gotta your own, you gotta make your own like
Speaker 1: you know, community guard. This is a constant thing. Basically,
Speaker 1: the idea of security and the really relates to fame
Speaker 1: and this is that all that's like, yeah, especially with
Speaker 1: you know, social media and all these different things and like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's like my wife doesn't even wear big diamonds anymore.
Speaker 1: We don't keep no jury, no money in the house,
Speaker 1: no you know, name, high art, none of that. We
Speaker 1: don't keep any of that any place, you know where
Speaker 1: our kids stay. Yeah, when we come back, we have
Speaker 1: more of Charlemagne sit down interview with Kanye' so you
Speaker 1: don't move. It's to Breakfast Club the morning. The morning,
Speaker 1: everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Three weeks ago, Charlemagne sat down
Speaker 1: with Yate. They had a conversation about everything, life, family, music, sneakers, Trump,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get three on right now. It's the
Speaker 1: breakfast club, the morning. The feeling. What was the feeling
Speaker 1: that made you say, you know what, I gonna meet
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump? This was the Yay that wanted to
Speaker 1: do something to change something. And I would meet with
Speaker 1: them today and I would talk about Chicago first, to
Speaker 1: talk about some more things. We could eventually get into
Speaker 1: a lot of you know elements, but we start there.
Speaker 1: Do you think he cares about black people? That's fire
Speaker 1: because you used to George Bush quote against me. Do
Speaker 1: you think you get about black people? But listen, it's
Speaker 1: it's crazy though, because you got this whole plan, three
Speaker 1: hundred acres of land, you want to build a community
Speaker 1: on it. Why does the Kanye West don't need nobody?
Speaker 1: So that goes back to what we were talking about
Speaker 1: with with Trump. You don't need to meet with Trump.
Speaker 1: You you yay, you didn't had a state of your own.
Speaker 1: I love real change. I love, you know, challenging the norm.
Speaker 1: I love I love people who don't love them. I
Speaker 1: love the fact that they're speaking up and everybody's just
Speaker 1: giving their opinions. Everybody's expressing themselves. I love I love
Speaker 1: that I've been waiting. I's like I've been waiting for
Speaker 1: this moment in time. It's such like a yay moment
Speaker 1: in time and stuff when people are you know, my
Speaker 1: dad is an activist, and you know, my mom's activist
Speaker 1: who's in marches and stuff. I feel like that energy
Speaker 1: all coming to a head. You know. Now, I refused
Speaker 1: to believe that your mother would love Donald Trump. I
Speaker 1: got difference opinion from my mom. True. True, But what
Speaker 1: about when you see like, because you know it's people
Speaker 1: that's watching this right now and they're like, yo, you know,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is getting our family deported, and you know,
Speaker 1: like especially you right now, you've got this whole economic
Speaker 1: empowerment thing going on, but you got a guy like
Speaker 1: him who's clearly trying to marginalize and oppress people, people
Speaker 1: that look like you. You don't want to see people
Speaker 1: like you come up? Can you still love a person
Speaker 1: like that? When he was running, it's like I felt something.
Speaker 1: It's like the fact that he won, like it proved something.
Speaker 1: It proved that anything is possible in America, that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump could be president of America. I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: you know, what he's done since he's been in office,
Speaker 1: but the fact that he was able to do it, Like,
Speaker 1: remember my sid I was going around for president. I
Speaker 1: had people that was close to me, friends of mine,
Speaker 1: like making jokes, making memes, talking nass like, oh that
Speaker 1: was proven that that could have happened. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: get what you're saying. I felt the non conventional, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, even from what we're doing in fashion,
Speaker 1: to me being a kid with the pink polos, to
Speaker 1: me being outspoken, to me being ostracized because of the
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift thing or the George Bush thing, or you
Speaker 1: know who I'm dating, who I'm marrying, what I'm talking about, Like,
Speaker 1: all of this is like an outsider thing, you know.
Speaker 1: So when I see an outsider infiltrate, I connect with that.
Speaker 1: So maybe that's what you like the idea. Yeah, not
Speaker 1: necessarily the idea of Donald Trump, with the idea of
Speaker 1: an outside of infiltrating. Yeah, it's a time for the unconventional.
Speaker 1: I'm very I'm not a traditional thinker. I'm a nonconformist,
Speaker 1: you know. So that relates to the nonconformist part of
Speaker 1: me now, you know. But I'm also I'm a producer.
Speaker 1: I like to segue things. I like to take ODIs,
Speaker 1: chop it up through it like this hood. So what's
Speaker 1: the a version. The a version of be the Trump
Speaker 1: campaign and maybe the Bernie Sanders principles. That would be
Speaker 1: my mix and stuff. But I think both had you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I needed you know, I hit the glass ceiling.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a bird flying to a window.
Speaker 1: They don't know it's glass. That was me when I
Speaker 1: hit that hospital. That was a bird flying into the window.
Speaker 1: And you know I could have, you know, not made
Speaker 1: it out of it, but I survived it. But it's
Speaker 1: um Are you scared of that happening again? You haven't
Speaker 1: a breakdown or breakthrough? Nah, I'm happy it happened. I'm
Speaker 1: happy to see have gone to the other side and back.
Speaker 1: You know, there's some bulls when it happened. I do
Speaker 1: want to I want to speak on I want to
Speaker 1: point out the moment when you're in the hospital bed
Speaker 1: and you're next to your friend and you tell them,
Speaker 1: don't let this person leave my side, and they put
Speaker 1: you inside of an elevator and take all your friends
Speaker 1: away from you. That was the scariest moment of my life.
Speaker 1: It's gonna drug you or kill you. Thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna get killed. And you know, my wife wasn't in town.
Speaker 1: So I told my boy Don, and my boy's kind like,
Speaker 1: don't leave my side until my wife gets here. And
Speaker 1: they have this moment where they're forced to leave your side.
Speaker 1: That's something that has to change, you know. It's like
Speaker 1: if a pregnant woman is, you know, delivering a baby, guarantee, whoever,
Speaker 1: the people, her sisters, the dad, they get to stay
Speaker 1: next to them to the baby's deliver. Not leaving my
Speaker 1: wife in that situation. Yeah, hsp you you are paranoid
Speaker 1: to everything. You don't believe nothing. You're just seeing through
Speaker 1: all of the simulation. Everybody's phony, everybody's an actor all
Speaker 1: the ship. And then they make your friends, the only
Speaker 1: people you believe in, leave your side. I can't express
Speaker 1: to you like how traumatizing that moment is. And then
Speaker 1: you waked up drug out, so they put you on medication. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you still on any now? Almost? Definitely what they
Speaker 1: got you on. I ain't gonna say does the medication help?
Speaker 1: You don't, I mean, you don't want to tell us
Speaker 1: what it is, but does it help? It's an imperfect solution.
Speaker 1: Just calm me down. But there's a lot of ways
Speaker 1: to calm down. I don't want to calm ye yeah,
Speaker 1: well you the calm ya for jay v Yake. You know.
Speaker 1: Don't you feel like that picked a little bit of
Speaker 1: your superpower away? Though? All this power and being controlled
Speaker 1: and calm you know, X men really understanding how to
Speaker 1: really use his power or Superman. That's me. This is
Speaker 1: like once the Kryptonite is gone, I got the confidence
Speaker 1: everything is possible, building acres, wraps, stadium tours, designs, companies,
Speaker 1: ideas to ignite the next generations. Like everything is possible,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm just a vessel and that's my
Speaker 1: job in a universe as a servant to the world.
Speaker 1: I have to be me. I'm not as good as
Speaker 1: a servant if I'm not. Yay you are yea though
Speaker 1: almost definitely. Do you feel like the lifestyle of your
Speaker 1: your your wife, the mother in law, like that whole family.
Speaker 1: Do you think that plays a role and how you
Speaker 1: were feeling like did it get to be too much?
Speaker 1: Because you're already a superstar, But then you take that
Speaker 1: superstar element and add it and it's just like when
Speaker 1: do you have privacy. It seemed like paparazzi is always around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: paparazzi can it can't stress you out. But it's all
Speaker 1: in the inner piece that you could find. You said,
Speaker 1: you don't trust people. Do you trust? Do you trust
Speaker 1: your in laws? Because it seem you know, we look
Speaker 1: at the world and it seems like everything is the storyline.
Speaker 1: Do you trust that they won't turn your life and
Speaker 1: what you're going through to a storyline? Ah, And you know,
Speaker 1: of course I'm gonna give you a slick answer on
Speaker 1: that because you gotta go home. Fact. But uh like,
Speaker 1: right now we're writing part of the story just by
Speaker 1: even doing this and speaking. I like the way that
Speaker 1: my wife communicates it, documents things, you know, as an artist,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's good to document ourselves. Document
Speaker 1: are now see if we can recognize ourselves again in
Speaker 1: a different light, in a different life. What would college
Speaker 1: drop out Kanye? He was looking at pictures of Kanye, Now,
Speaker 1: what would he say? I think he'd be happy, satisfied,
Speaker 1: and he would believe it. You know how people say
Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe it. I always believed it. I always
Speaker 1: know what it is. You know, this documentation, right Now
Speaker 1: this is just the age forty. This is a version
Speaker 1: of a college drop out. Yeah, we're standing on my
Speaker 1: first property. Yeah, so I'm gonna be one of the
Speaker 1: biggest real estate developers of all time, like some Howard
Speaker 1: Hughes was to aircraft and what Henry Ford was to cars,
Speaker 1: and just the relationships that I have with architects, my
Speaker 1: understanding of like space and sacred proportions. Just this vibe,
Speaker 1: this new vibe, this new energy. Like I'm tired of
Speaker 1: the mc mansion's all the Spanish roof homes and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. Like whack bro, Like everybody house whack it's
Speaker 1: trash bro. I don't go to except for lessons like
Speaker 1: a Howard back In or something. It's like the one
Speaker 1: of the few architects that I like their home. I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, what's next, because yea, he's always
Speaker 1: predicted what he was going to be. So that's that's
Speaker 1: that's the goal. Yeah, We're going to develop cities. That
Speaker 1: was Kanye West and Charlemagne, the guy. Charlemagne, you did
Speaker 1: that one three weeks ago. Three weeks ago, Yeah, April
Speaker 1: a team, all right, So the full interview is online,
Speaker 1: so you could definitely check it out when we come back.
Speaker 1: We have rumors and o't forget next hour, t I,
Speaker 1: You'll be joining us as the Breakfast Club come morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Listen this just oh Gosh Reports with
Speaker 1: Angela Angela Report The Breakfast Club. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: congratulations to Ti. Both he and John Legend have been
Speaker 1: given a Tony Award nomination for the SpongeBob musical SpongeBob
Speaker 1: square Pants the musical Bombs for SpongeBob SquarePants for music.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, TI had no idea who was in that, Okay,
Speaker 1: I was confunged when the going gets tough, okay, and
Speaker 1: John Legend wrote a song called I Guess I Miss
Speaker 1: You now. Chrissy said about John Legend. John got nominated
Speaker 1: for a Tony this morning for a song he apparently
Speaker 1: wrote for SpongeBob SquarePants. Why does he not tell me
Speaker 1: when he writes SpongeBob songs? What else is he lying about?
Speaker 1: Are there other songs out there? So you're not the
Speaker 1: only one who didn't know. Now, Tia is going to
Speaker 1: be joining us this morning as well. And you know
Speaker 1: he did the song with Kanye yea versus the People,
Speaker 1: and Tia was representing for the people now, he posted,
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming he posted this yesterday after hearing what
Speaker 1: Kanye had to say about slavery being a choice. He said,
Speaker 1: so listen, here's how I know I'm truly blessed. I
Speaker 1: have a great family who I know love me from
Speaker 1: me and would go to the end of the earth
Speaker 1: for me. I have amazing friends who I know ain't
Speaker 1: no snakes and wouldn't just tell me yeah, it's all good,
Speaker 1: just to stay on payroll. I have incredible children who
Speaker 1: idolize me and who hold me so far up in
Speaker 1: high regard, and I know without their unconditional love and respect, life,
Speaker 1: as I know it wouldn't be worth living. So he
Speaker 1: goes on to say, I feel somewhat obligated to share
Speaker 1: some of that light with my brother Yay, because clearly
Speaker 1: him lacking it in his life has taken a toll,
Speaker 1: he said. But let's be clear, he said I and
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. I will not, ever, for anything,
Speaker 1: sacrifice my blessings for nobody, even if I lose my life,
Speaker 1: I'll never compromise my spirit. I learned years ago. It
Speaker 1: ain't no opportunity in music, movies, TV, tech, fame or
Speaker 1: business that's worth the thought of me losing any of that.
Speaker 1: And while I'm open excited about the thought of connecting
Speaker 1: and building, I can only help you until it hurts
Speaker 1: me and of message. So I guess that was him
Speaker 1: saying he did try to help and reach out to Kanye,
Speaker 1: but if it's hurting him, he can no longer do
Speaker 1: it and he has to worry about his own self.
Speaker 1: Love that he's definitely not giving up on Kane. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's given up about it. And I love
Speaker 1: the fact that he said his family would check him,
Speaker 1: his wife, his kids, and that's how it should be.
Speaker 1: And that's why I was wondering earlier, where is Kanye,
Speaker 1: He's closest friends to be like, boy, you're bugging well.
Speaker 1: Like I always say, some things can't be plane, they
Speaker 1: need to be experienced. Even though Kanye is a grown
Speaker 1: man with a wife and kids, maybe he does have
Speaker 1: to go down this path because the only person Kanye
Speaker 1: killing at the end of the day as himself. All right, now,
Speaker 1: dazz we told you about this threat that our dads
Speaker 1: made on Kanye West. Here it is again in case
Speaker 1: you missed it. Yeah, national alert, all the crypts out there, y'all. Kanye, yup,
Speaker 1: it's been I never see you in concerts. He's been
Speaker 1: I never see you around California staying Calabasas. What's the
Speaker 1: crypt guy to your card? Kanye West? Up, that's what happened.
Speaker 1: You got a wrestled. But now he got on his door. Now, no,
Speaker 1: he got hassled by the cops here, he said in
Speaker 1: the video. Police just stopped me, asked me about this
Speaker 1: Kanye wish. But luckily I'm blessed. I ain't cut. I
Speaker 1: am through business. But the smashing and the dashing begin. Chris,
Speaker 1: did you call a police so dash? Come on, dad, dads,
Speaker 1: you gotta be smart. You can't make a terristic trying
Speaker 1: to get We consider the terroristic threat. I know it's
Speaker 1: some type of threat. I know, trying to get somebody,
Speaker 1: go beat up on somebody, and then the police not
Speaker 1: gonna harass you. Come on, all right, anyway, I'm anti
Speaker 1: la yee. And that is your rumor? What if now
Speaker 1: that if Nike wanted to take Kanye out right now, right,
Speaker 1: imagine Nike wanted to take Kanye out, they sent somebody
Speaker 1: to blame. Who do you think they're gonna come for exactly.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, they're not gonna do that. But all right, Charlemagne, Yes,
Speaker 1: who are giving your dog? Oh man, we need Kanye
Speaker 1: what's to come to the front of the congregation. We'd
Speaker 1: like to have a word with him, please, okay, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna give it to him when we come back.
Speaker 1: Keep it locked. This to breakfast club, Good morning. Don't
Speaker 1: at the gate you get un you are, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: fatt and all that around your eye. They want this
Speaker 1: man's two dog and blowers. Man, they're waiting for Charlemagne
Speaker 1: to Topsy had to make a judgment. Who was going
Speaker 1: to be on the Donkey of the day. They shows
Speaker 1: you the practice club, bitchy, Who's donkey of the day
Speaker 1: to day? Wow? Donkey of to Day for Wednesday. May
Speaker 1: second goes to mister Kanye West. I know, I know,
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. Charlemagne. It's a beautiful conversation
Speaker 1: out right now with you and Kanye, and it's an
Speaker 1: hour and forty nine minutes long. It's been trending number
Speaker 1: one on YouTube since yesterday. Why would you give him
Speaker 1: donkey of the day to day? I had people in
Speaker 1: my mentions on social media, texting my phone saying they
Speaker 1: don't agree with Kanye stands on Trump, but after watching
Speaker 1: the conversation between us, they had a better understanding of
Speaker 1: where Kanye is coming from. That's why I've been telling
Speaker 1: everyone for the past what two weeks, three weeks, just
Speaker 1: wait until Kanye speaks. Now, keep in mind, the conversation
Speaker 1: I had with him on April eighteenth was a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and it gave me a better understanding
Speaker 1: of where Kanye was coming from. And I knew that
Speaker 1: they would do the same for you. I have empathy
Speaker 1: for people struggling with mental health issues, which he has
Speaker 1: been very open about, including him being on meds. And
Speaker 1: when it comes to him supporting Donald Trump, Kanye has
Speaker 1: no idea about any of Trump's policies, his ideologies. He
Speaker 1: doesn't any legislation that Trump isn't administration of implemented. All
Speaker 1: Kanye saw in Trump is a celebrity who is unpredictable, outspoken, uncouth,
Speaker 1: and lets anything fly out of his mouth. Who do
Speaker 1: you think that reminded Kanye of? Huh? Yeah, himself. Okay,
Speaker 1: Kanye saw himself and Trump, and he said, damn, that
Speaker 1: could be me, even though it probably can't simply because
Speaker 1: Trump is whitening and Kanye is black, and I seriously
Speaker 1: dot they're letting any negro act like Trump, who acts
Speaker 1: like Trump get anywhere near presidential nomination. But don't listen
Speaker 1: to me. This is what Kanye had to say when
Speaker 1: when I spoke to him. I don't have all the
Speaker 1: answers that a celebrity is supposed to have, but I
Speaker 1: could tell you when he was running, It's like I
Speaker 1: felt something. The fact that he won it proved that
Speaker 1: anything is possible in America. I'm not talking about you know,
Speaker 1: what he's done since he's been in office, but the
Speaker 1: fact that he was able to do it, Like, remember myself,
Speaker 1: I was going to run for president NA It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was proven that that could have happened. All of
Speaker 1: this is like an outsider thing. So when I see
Speaker 1: an outsider infiltrate, I connect with that. It's a time
Speaker 1: for the unconventional. I'm very I'm not a traditional thinker.
Speaker 1: I'm a nonconformer, but I'm also I'm a producer. I
Speaker 1: like to segue things. I like to take ODIs, chop
Speaker 1: it up through it like this. So what's the a version,
Speaker 1: the a version of be the Trump campaign and maybe
Speaker 1: the Bernie Sanders principles that would be my mix and stuff.
Speaker 1: But I think both are needed. A Donald Trump campaign
Speaker 1: with Bernie Sanders principles. Okay, Now, I after hearing that,
Speaker 1: you know, and then the very next week seeing him
Speaker 1: throw on the MAGA hat and express his love for
Speaker 1: Trump on Twitter, I was confused. Now, He said, why
Speaker 1: he wore the magaht. Let's hear it. If I had
Speaker 1: knocked up what I felt and I just thought, and
Speaker 1: it would have just never happening. When I wear that hat,
Speaker 1: it's like a fight for equality, Like, oh, I can
Speaker 1: wear this hat too, now, a fight for equality. He
Speaker 1: said that he wore a hat to repurpose with MAGA means,
Speaker 1: I will tell you something that I have told Kanye.
Speaker 1: I told Kanye you can't repurpose something if you don't
Speaker 1: know what that something means in the first place. Magat
Speaker 1: is make America great again, which is cold for make
Speaker 1: America white again. Okay, A minority can never claim that
Speaker 1: because America has never been great for us, all right.
Speaker 1: America has never been great for women, especially women the color.
Speaker 1: It's never been great for LGBT. It's never been great
Speaker 1: for the point this in franchise, it's never been great
Speaker 1: for Latinos, and it's certainly never been great for black people. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you can drop that at getting all right, and
Speaker 1: the hat can say make America a great period, If
Speaker 1: you're not trying to make America great for everybody's pointless.
Speaker 1: And that's why that hat can't be repurposed. And that's
Speaker 1: saying can't be repurposed. So to me, you know, Kanye
Speaker 1: is saying he likes Trump. It ain't boy nothing, even
Speaker 1: though right wing media is running with the narrative because
Speaker 1: it helps him sell MAGA hats and normalize Trump's brand
Speaker 1: of bigotry because they can say, hey, our black friend
Speaker 1: Kanye West gets it all right now. I'll be the
Speaker 1: first to tell you after having this conversation with Kanye
Speaker 1: and speaking to Kanye pretty regularly over the past couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, one thing I realize is that Yay means well,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't know how to communicate. He's a baby
Speaker 1: with a huge gun in his hand, and we all
Speaker 1: know how dangerous that can be. Right, But we saw
Speaker 1: that on full display yesterday when Kanye, for whatever reason
Speaker 1: decided to go to TMZ. He told me his period
Speaker 1: and made him do it the same way. His spirit
Speaker 1: told him to reach out to me to have a conversation.
Speaker 1: I can't knock the brother for how he feels, but
Speaker 1: I will give him the credit he deserves being stupid
Speaker 1: and stupid. It's exactly what he was when he went
Speaker 1: on TMZ yesterday and said this. Don you hear about
Speaker 1: slavery for four hundred years? For four hundred years? That
Speaker 1: sound like a choice. It's like we're mentally imprisoned. Time
Speaker 1: that one more time? For me? There's one more time.
Speaker 1: Can you hear about slavery for four hundred years? For
Speaker 1: four hundred years? That sound like a choice. It's like
Speaker 1: we're mentally in prison. I understood he was trying to say.
Speaker 1: But the problem with Kanye West says he doesn't know
Speaker 1: how to communicate. And when you on those platforms like
Speaker 1: that and you have a voice as big as Yay's,
Speaker 1: it's not about what you meant to say, it's about
Speaker 1: what you said. And what he said with slavery is
Speaker 1: a choice. You know, Kanye is really in the clothes
Speaker 1: right He literally is in calabashes with people in his
Speaker 1: factory making his own garments, And I told him he
Speaker 1: has to start treating his thoughts the way he treats
Speaker 1: his fabrics. When you and they're cutting fabrics to make clothes,
Speaker 1: you've measured properly, right, It's a saying measured twice in
Speaker 1: order to cut once. That's how Kanye has to start
Speaker 1: treating his thoughts. O. Kay, Kanye is talking about psychological bondage,
Speaker 1: which was, is and will continue to be a thing
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Literally today, my daily affirmation
Speaker 1: and my Joe Olstein daily bread book is if we're
Speaker 1: to become all God wants us to be, we must
Speaker 1: win the victory in our minds. Okay, if you don't
Speaker 1: think you can be successful, you never will be. But
Speaker 1: that's a different conversation. See, Yeah, you can't talk about
Speaker 1: psychological slavery in twenty eighteen without properly acknowledging the trauma
Speaker 1: of four hundred years of slavery that built this country
Speaker 1: and systemically put us at the bottom of it, And
Speaker 1: that slavery was not a choice. Okay, nobody enrolled in slavery,
Speaker 1: all right, Nobody pledged to be a member of slave
Speaker 1: for you, all right, that's not how this slavery thing works,
Speaker 1: all right? White you know, white white Europeans went on
Speaker 1: kidnapping raids, and then when that got too dangerous, local
Speaker 1: African rulers and black merchants delivered captured people. The trading
Speaker 1: posters sell them in slaves. The Europeans like, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: even have to explain this kind of stuff, but I
Speaker 1: have to because Kanye goes on platforms like TMZ says
Speaker 1: this kind of rhetoric and some people believe it. And
Speaker 1: for the record, there was always black people rebelling against slavery. Okay,
Speaker 1: y'all think that line from Black Panther when Kilmaca said,
Speaker 1: buried me in the ocean so I can be with
Speaker 1: ancestors who knew death was better than bondage was fiction.
Speaker 1: People jumped off those slaves not turning in. His crew
Speaker 1: was killing slave masters. Harriet Tubman led the underground Railroad.
Speaker 1: Then Mark VC was about to leave one of the
Speaker 1: largest slavery votes in history before he got rid it
Speaker 1: out by one of the slaves that Kanye is talking
Speaker 1: about that was psychologically in love with his master more
Speaker 1: than his own people. So ye, Kanye's statement was highly
Speaker 1: inaccurate and This is why diversity matters, because you need
Speaker 1: people in the room at all these corporations to shut
Speaker 1: down any untruths like this, whether they come from white
Speaker 1: people or our own people. And Kanye is still one
Speaker 1: of us, by the way, but I think God Timz
Speaker 1: has one of ours in there to shut this kind
Speaker 1: of dangerous rhetoric down. This is actually one of my
Speaker 1: closest friends on the planet, mister van Lathan. Can we
Speaker 1: here with Van Lathan had to say in reply to
Speaker 1: Kanye West, right there in the moment, immediately after he
Speaker 1: uttered that slavery was a choice, nonsense. I actually don't
Speaker 1: think you're thinking anything. I think what you're doing right
Speaker 1: now is actually the absence of thought. And the reason
Speaker 1: why I feel like that is because Kanye, you're entiled
Speaker 1: to your opinion. You're entied to believe whatever you want.
Speaker 1: But there is fact and real world, real life consequence
Speaker 1: behind everything that you just said. While you are making
Speaker 1: music and being an artist and living a life that
Speaker 1: you've earned by being a genius, the rest of us
Speaker 1: in society have to deal with these threats to our lives.
Speaker 1: We have to deal with the marginalization that has come
Speaker 1: from the four hundred years of slavery that you said
Speaker 1: for our people was a choice. Frankly, I'm disappointed. I'm appalled,
Speaker 1: and Brother, I am unbelievably hurt by the fact that
Speaker 1: you have morphed into something to me that's not real
Speaker 1: trumping clues bomb for Van Lathing. That's exactly what brother
Speaker 1: Kanye needed to hear in that setting, because all of
Speaker 1: us are telling Kanye the same thing in various ways,
Speaker 1: and it's simple. Kanye, you got to be responsible period.
Speaker 1: Your platform too big, influence too great, and if you
Speaker 1: don't know how to properly communicate what you're trying to say,
Speaker 1: then simply shut up. Okay. Miscommunication is the number one
Speaker 1: cause of all problems. Communication is your bridge to other people.
Speaker 1: Without it, there's nothing, So when it's damaged, you have
Speaker 1: to solve all these ablem he creates. And Kanye, you
Speaker 1: have caused yourself a lot of problems to be continued.
Speaker 1: Please let him Mark give Kanye what's the biggest he
Speaker 1: hall he ha, he ha. You're stupid, motherfu are you? Tom?
Speaker 1: I'm still not giving up on Kanye though, Okay, I
Speaker 1: will continue to talk to him. I will continue to
Speaker 1: share literature with him. I will continue to introduce him
Speaker 1: to people who I think can inform him, and I
Speaker 1: will continue to tell him when he's wrong and someone
Speaker 1: else who is not giving up on Kanye is about
Speaker 1: to walk in. That's right, Ta. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we gotta pray for Kanye too. Oh, absolutely, got that
Speaker 1: man in your prayers. All right, when we come back, Tia,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to him. We'll have a great conversation. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building
Speaker 1: that people. It isn't interesting, I t I had to
Speaker 1: become the voice of the people over the past few years.
Speaker 1: It's an honor, you know. I mean, I mean, I've
Speaker 1: always considered myself a voice for the voicelest. But you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying to have other people besides we
Speaker 1: consider it, yeah, you know it's actually dope. But on
Speaker 1: some real live revolutionary activists, Uh, this is what you
Speaker 1: call when you want to shut down a restaurant or two.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, man, I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure that the collective is properly represented as it
Speaker 1: and whatever I could do. Man, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: on just on behalf of those who can't organize, mobilize
Speaker 1: and do it themselves. I mean, I'm honored to do so.
Speaker 1: Oh you're still in love with the music with the
Speaker 1: blue forms of streaming and jeezy retire? Are you still
Speaker 1: in it the same way and feel it the same way? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I do, Absolutely I do, And I mean I just
Speaker 1: ain't putting that that for real. I got the reasons.
Speaker 1: I got tons of music. Yeah, the damn trapp heel
Speaker 1: is coming. I got tons of music, and I record
Speaker 1: every day. Why haven't you putting that out? Man? I'm
Speaker 1: really just waiting to feel like it for like the
Speaker 1: work that go with putting out an album. I got
Speaker 1: so many other things I got going on as far as,
Speaker 1: like you know, producing and developing television shows and film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the hustle game. I was dedicated a lot of my
Speaker 1: time to you know, develop it and cultivating their talents.
Speaker 1: I think people forget sometimes, you know, even even I
Speaker 1: would say myself and in it's hard because I'm a
Speaker 1: DJ and I was raised off for early tr until
Speaker 1: you hear the yay verse the people and then you
Speaker 1: the way you spitting and tell them what you're saying.
Speaker 1: What I said, what you said yesterday, But maybe that
Speaker 1: was behind the scenes. What I said, you sound like
Speaker 1: old tr like you're not only rapping, it's like you're
Speaker 1: telling the story and I'm sitting hire mesmerized to the
Speaker 1: story where it's like you really like I know, you
Speaker 1: really meant it, but I felt it, like I felt
Speaker 1: like I'm right. Ain't even a scratch I did, but
Speaker 1: now I felt it even more with that record, I
Speaker 1: didn't ask the people. Yeah, man, I'm so glad that
Speaker 1: you did that, because I've been so irritated. I'm like
Speaker 1: so irritated to the point where I don't even really
Speaker 1: want to listen to what he's saying. But then when
Speaker 1: I seen you was on the check, I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: I know ta, I ain't gonna let this slide because
Speaker 1: I can't see it getting on there. Talked about to
Speaker 1: make America great again. Yeah, you know, I gave me
Speaker 1: that feeling again. You know I ain't going for that.
Speaker 1: I mean, man, you know that the record actually happened.
Speaker 1: It was It's the fastest record I've ever recorded in
Speaker 1: my life. You know what I'm saying. It happened at
Speaker 1: the end of a four hour long discussion we were at.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there were a lot more things you could
Speaker 1: have been saying on that song, Oh man, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, I said, but the discussion happened from the
Speaker 1: time I got there up to the time we started record.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the discussion. You've seen it. It's
Speaker 1: Twitter rampage. And you hadn't talked to a minute. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I hadn't talked to ye man since, um, probably since
Speaker 1: I got out of prison, like we did the record
Speaker 1: for No Mercy um, and then I hadn't you know,
Speaker 1: probably had spoke to him much since I probably got
Speaker 1: out of prison. It's like six seven year yeah or
Speaker 1: something like that. I mean, you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we may have seen each other in pass it
Speaker 1: h but I hadn't, you know, we hadn't had an
Speaker 1: actual conversation and you know, quite some time. So we
Speaker 1: happened to see each other at a hotel, an hotel
Speaker 1: Libya La. I was there for me and he was
Speaker 1: there for a meeting, and he came over and spoke
Speaker 1: to me, and you know, um, you know, so then
Speaker 1: I meeting let's say, let's work there for a reason.
Speaker 1: At that time. You know, he said that to me
Speaker 1: several times. He said that to me. He's like, man,
Speaker 1: you are here for a reason. He said that, he's
Speaker 1: expressed that to me. So you know, I said, let's work.
Speaker 1: You say, yeah. Bet. He gave me his number and
Speaker 1: he put out a phone, and it was all that
Speaker 1: because I never knew him to have a phone. But
Speaker 1: I remember like it was a big deal when we
Speaker 1: were recording in Hawaii that you know, now you ain't
Speaker 1: got no phone. He don't do no phones. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so you know, we changed numbers. He went back about
Speaker 1: his meeting. I went back about mind. Then that night,
Speaker 1: you know, I went to the studio and you know,
Speaker 1: after I left him, I started seeing the stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: it just started popping up. And then so bout the
Speaker 1: next morning I got on the phone with him again.
Speaker 1: Another weird turn of events that it's not really relevant
Speaker 1: to the story, so I gonna continue on past it.
Speaker 1: That I hit him and said, um, he yo, uh,
Speaker 1: let me get with you. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I want to get with you whenever I can, And
Speaker 1: he immediately hit me back. It was like I bet
Speaker 1: I had my people calling and you know what set
Speaker 1: of the mean. And this is after the Trump did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was after all that. After it was right around
Speaker 1: the time when John Legend had hit him, and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Bro? But I didn't want to say
Speaker 1: nothing over the phone because I have an opportunity to
Speaker 1: go see him. I'm not gonna, you know, I'll have
Speaker 1: a discussion over the phone. So I just waited until
Speaker 1: I got there. And I got there and he takes
Speaker 1: me into you know, his showrooms and you know, you
Speaker 1: see y'all the new Yeazys and the season privately Season
Speaker 1: thirteen folks team and and now I'm thoroughly impressed. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I congratulated. I know it was
Speaker 1: working hard. I'm talking, I'm thoroughly impressed. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: want to be like, yo, when't that when them come
Speaker 1: at till you must stay focused in here on the mission.
Speaker 1: You must stay focused. And so we go on into
Speaker 1: the room. Well you know, everybody was sitting in his
Speaker 1: music and whatnot, and so he said, you know, he
Speaker 1: starts saying, you know what I'm saying, I got some
Speaker 1: things that you know, I want to play for you
Speaker 1: once to hear I say, I can't wait to do
Speaker 1: it the first. Let me speak to you right quick.
Speaker 1: So we stepped up, say they have discussions, and that's
Speaker 1: when I was just like, Yo, what's what's up? Man?
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have a very illogical explanation to all
Speaker 1: of this, like what's happening? What's the punchline? And you
Speaker 1: give them the benefit of the doctors. It's Kanye's like, damn, like,
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'm sure you got something that's gonna
Speaker 1: make all this makes sense in my head. I just
Speaker 1: got to hear it, right, So let's go uh and
Speaker 1: and he say, man, just feel free, you know. I
Speaker 1: just felt free to think whatever it is that my
Speaker 1: mind leads me to think without some monolistic, monolithic view
Speaker 1: of what society wants me to think. I'm like, what's
Speaker 1: up with the hat, bro? And he like, my subconscious
Speaker 1: spoke to my con and it just moved me to
Speaker 1: wear the hat like to like like, but yo, like
Speaker 1: you know the hat represent He's like, not when I
Speaker 1: wear it though, Yeah, he want to repurpose. He's like,
Speaker 1: just like we did the word. We took the power
Speaker 1: from the word and now we used the word as
Speaker 1: our own. I said, yeah, that's not the same, that's
Speaker 1: not the same. Brom been great for my can't make
Speaker 1: it great again. And I asked him of all these rights,
Speaker 1: but just but just imagine, just imagine, like right now,
Speaker 1: I'm really like looking and I'm trying not the trip
Speaker 1: and plus his kin, he ain't. He doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: malicious up, not at all, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It seems extremely sincere and passionate. Done. Nah, don't seem
Speaker 1: like it's nothing he doing like man and man Jill
Speaker 1: woke up on some one day, not now. I didn't
Speaker 1: get no signs and no, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: No inebriated state of man about politics? Man, what's going
Speaker 1: on when it comes look man world. I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: But but what I do know is I asked him, Oh,
Speaker 1: and then wait a minute before I asking this, he said, Yo,
Speaker 1: you know this is just like I went out on
Speaker 1: tour with Taylor Quale and wore a Rockefeller chain and
Speaker 1: they boomed me when I came out on stage for
Speaker 1: wearing a chain. I was a backpacker like as far
Speaker 1: as my style, but being flying flashy as that type.
Speaker 1: It wasn't accepted at the time, and people had to
Speaker 1: come around. I say, bro, do you really think that
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. He's like, yeah, wow. I say, no,
Speaker 1: that ain't the same thing at all. You know, as
Speaker 1: they say that, I say, well, look, man, have you
Speaker 1: thought about the people who supported you that you hurt
Speaker 1: when you put that on? And then he looked different.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He looked at me kind
Speaker 1: of like I could see an epiphany, you know he
Speaker 1: was he was like, hurt someone for having my own opinion.
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, people believe in you and they see
Speaker 1: you as a certain way, and then you go and
Speaker 1: they support you and you support someone who goes directly
Speaker 1: against them. It's like you're supporting the enemy. So do
Speaker 1: you think I ain't feels like no, I didn't really.
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that, but he would. But I
Speaker 1: can see in the face he would like, I don't
Speaker 1: want that. Ain't what I ain't meaning to do that,
Speaker 1: you know what. I don't want to speak to him.
Speaker 1: But he actually hit me and said, hey, man, till
Speaker 1: I said I'm hurting people? Am I hurting people? Yes?
Speaker 1: What do you think it is? What do you then
Speaker 1: Chobe hear me and say, hey, if you would, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you talking to him whatever you say, keep saying it
Speaker 1: was getting through, but can't responses from everybody. What do
Speaker 1: you think he listens to that yet to his superpowlersis
Speaker 1: weakness because you gotta think people telling him what he
Speaker 1: can't do right and then him keeping them keep pushing
Speaker 1: and making It's what that's what gotta Jesus walk. Yes,
Speaker 1: nobody was doing the song like Jesus wal everybody. I
Speaker 1: told him, man, you tripping with that one? He like, Okay,
Speaker 1: watch this. You know what I'm saying with the same
Speaker 1: resilient energy that. But then he when he say his
Speaker 1: subconscious talked to his conscious and it moved him to
Speaker 1: do something like I disagree with it. But the lad
Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna ever do it tells somebody not to
Speaker 1: listen to themselves. All we got more with TA when
Speaker 1: we come back. Matter of fact, let's get into his
Speaker 1: joint with YA right now. This is Ya versus the people,
Speaker 1: Kanye West TI. It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning Pinning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. TI is in the building. Now
Speaker 1: TA talking to Kanye. What is he not seeing? Like,
Speaker 1: what is blinding him? I mean, I don't even think
Speaker 1: he's even challenged this idea of this idea has been
Speaker 1: challenged aside from when it hit the air, like the
Speaker 1: fact that it moved me and none and I refused,
Speaker 1: we as the Black delegation cannot afford to lose, to
Speaker 1: keep it out. I'm keep it out with a thousand
Speaker 1: and That's that was my Like, that was my approach.
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, hell Na, we can't. Nah, man, we
Speaker 1: can't do that. And I know he's influential, but I
Speaker 1: didn't realize how influential. People crying over it, like people
Speaker 1: literally one he is our Michael Jackson, like just period,
Speaker 1: and I feel like the same consideration we get Michael Jeff.
Speaker 1: First of all, we talk about Kanye West. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: very very, very very minute. I'm talking about a minuscule
Speaker 1: percentage of the population of the earth that speaks the
Speaker 1: language of Kanye West, right, the things that cover to
Speaker 1: his man once it hit the al it probably don't
Speaker 1: sound the same to the person every mon listening to
Speaker 1: it as it did in his head. So he needs
Speaker 1: kind of like a translator, real like he needs somebody
Speaker 1: around him who he could say say stuff too, and
Speaker 1: then they can say what he's saying. Is he trying
Speaker 1: to do this? If you just take seconds of him
Speaker 1: speaking and play it sounds preposterous. But if you listen
Speaker 1: to him overspand for hours, you understand. You kind of
Speaker 1: understand his logic and where he coming from. You don't
Speaker 1: agree with it. He says, I love trump You don't
Speaker 1: mean he loved Trumpet policies because kind of like I
Speaker 1: love fried chicken, you know what I'm saying. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's kind of like I love Henderson,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. He don't think of him
Speaker 1: as a person. He's thinking of about yeah, the thing,
Speaker 1: whatever that force is. And then he say, well he
Speaker 1: has dragon energy. I have dragon energy. That was like
Speaker 1: the beginning of the conversation, right, So I'm just hearing
Speaker 1: him through all these parables and like the man speaking
Speaker 1: and kind of like riddles, and you know, because he
Speaker 1: can't really explain he can't explain this going on in
Speaker 1: his head. But the more he talked it out, he
Speaker 1: kind of get around to it. So by the time
Speaker 1: we had sat down in the room with everyone else.
Speaker 1: He kind of got around to trying to like, man,
Speaker 1: he could kind of convey because I said that, because
Speaker 1: he said, well, I don't agree with everything. He said,
Speaker 1: I don't agree with half of the stuff. He said.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, well what part do you agree with? Right?
Speaker 1: And he said, with a thought of coming from nothing
Speaker 1: and nobody says you can do it and you become
Speaker 1: the president? Was he nothing? No, he didn't really come down,
Speaker 1: in the word of the world of politics as lesser
Speaker 1: than that. He was a reality star. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, don't Trump to be equivalent to Chris
Speaker 1: General becoming the president of the United States America? So
Speaker 1: how did it end? You said? That was like, so
Speaker 1: how did the end that he finally get it? Said man, Man,
Speaker 1: I mean I got him to. We had him to
Speaker 1: at a point where he was like, well, look, maybe
Speaker 1: I should just change something on the head and make
Speaker 1: it my own. I said, yes, yes, yes, that's what
Speaker 1: you should do. That's it. And did he say but no, no, no, know,
Speaker 1: that wouldn't get me. What what that wouldn't prove my point?
Speaker 1: Is what he said. And I don't think he understand
Speaker 1: the optics of the situation because he don't he don't
Speaker 1: understand how diet this situation. He's nothing about Trump's policy.
Speaker 1: He's so yeah. I asked him if I said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: what's so? How you feel about the travel bad? He said,
Speaker 1: what's the travel back? Doesn't affect him? And you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I say, come on, bro, you
Speaker 1: can't do this. And you say, you leading with love?
Speaker 1: If you love, and this man's hurting all the people.
Speaker 1: What made him so much worth worth so much love
Speaker 1: to what it caused these people so much pain? And
Speaker 1: then he sat down. I ain't figured that out. I
Speaker 1: gotta figure that out. And then he started thinking. And
Speaker 1: then then he was like, but if h you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like now he's trying to reconfigure his approach.
Speaker 1: He don't know the things that we know because he's
Speaker 1: removed himself from society to the point where it don't
Speaker 1: reach him. He said, he just started watching CNN. Started watching.
Speaker 1: He said, even when Trump, I mean Obama was in
Speaker 1: the White House, he never watched in that or nothing.
Speaker 1: He said, he just started watching the end. No, no,
Speaker 1: it actually makes it more dangerous. The fact that you're
Speaker 1: uninformed than you're using your platform to spread this. Now,
Speaker 1: the genius of them said, all right, well let's do
Speaker 1: a song like that. How did the song come about? Man?
Speaker 1: Because we were talking for four hours about the same thing.
Speaker 1: I have never but it was this very enlightening discussion.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I learned a lot about him,
Speaker 1: about his commitment to personal growth. He's like, man, look, man,
Speaker 1: just give me a minute. I'm feeling something. I'm working.
Speaker 1: Let me figure out what it is. You know, don't
Speaker 1: be so quick to just cut me out. I'm not
Speaker 1: a white supremacist. I don't agree with white supremacist. I say,
Speaker 1: but you're supporting you were wearing the flag. You know.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is like, but imagine what a white
Speaker 1: supremacist thinks about it. When I wear it. He'll want
Speaker 1: me to tell take it off. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: doing a favorite, you know what I mean, Just take
Speaker 1: it out because we want you to take it out here.
Speaker 1: And then he's like, man, maybe you want me to
Speaker 1: take it off and then want me to take it off.
Speaker 1: It's enough to bring y'all closer together. I'm like, man, listen,
Speaker 1: how did the song coming about? Who's that deal. Was it?
Speaker 1: Like Okay, yeah, well, I mean, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like I was saying, man, so you know, we got
Speaker 1: to you know, to the to the point where we've
Speaker 1: been going back and forth for quite some time, and
Speaker 1: we would start talking about music. He played the Scoop
Speaker 1: scoopage boot and as it, Man, you're just toying with people.
Speaker 1: Now you gotta stop. And he's like, nah, man, We're like,
Speaker 1: what if I go boot boot Man? When I heard it,
Speaker 1: I said, what is this? And he told me it
Speaker 1: was a reponstraction, bro. But look though, I think the
Speaker 1: shock of the people in the room every time he
Speaker 1: played it is what made him keep it, I think.
Speaker 1: And then you know, hey, have y'all ever heard y'all
Speaker 1: y'all see that that that Dave Chappelle stand up the
Speaker 1: one way he says, uh, he says, you know the
Speaker 1: reason why I really wanted the Quick Company because I'm
Speaker 1: too demn good at you know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: could say any Joe, any punchline, and you know y'all
Speaker 1: gonna laughing. I feel like that's how Kanye feels anything
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I can make any song y'all gonna
Speaker 1: like it. So it don't matter what I do. I'm nothing.
Speaker 1: I ain't pushing myself. I'm not bringing the best out
Speaker 1: of myself because anything I do you accepted and love it.
Speaker 1: Because people were like, I love this track. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, man, man, that Scoop Scooby it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a genre now. It's gonna be a bunch
Speaker 1: of Scoop Scooby do booby booples. I don't know what
Speaker 1: I could do without it. I feel like I did
Speaker 1: not care for it. However, he played some others is
Speaker 1: completely like jamming on the one, you know, so he
Speaker 1: played that first one for a reason because he could
Speaker 1: have played any of these other songs that I heard
Speaker 1: that was jamming like a month. And then afterwards I
Speaker 1: was I think I asked me if he had any
Speaker 1: beats or something like that, and he was like, well,
Speaker 1: I got this one song, and you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: already kind of saying my part. Maybe we could, you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of went side it. Maybe you could do
Speaker 1: your part in between my parts. And I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, cool, But then when I started doing my play,
Speaker 1: he just erased all of it. Started from the top
Speaker 1: and it only took about thirty thirty to forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: And that right, It's interested our guard worked up because
Speaker 1: when I heard the record, I was like, everybody gonna
Speaker 1: think this peblicity is not yeah, because I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: just recorded it last Yeah, he released it in twenty
Speaker 1: four hours. You didn't know he put it up. I
Speaker 1: didn't know. See I did the song, right, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: after I leave, he gonna play the song bad. He's
Speaker 1: gonna hear me talking. You know what I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna still be talking to him while I'm gone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then he gonna hear what I'm saying. He's gonna
Speaker 1: like that. He's gonna erase it. And then and his
Speaker 1: man put the song out the next day. He can't
Speaker 1: give you a heads up or nothing to Noah, hen't
Speaker 1: tell me then. But I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 1: he put it out. He said it got leaked, So
Speaker 1: you know, all right, when we come back, we have
Speaker 1: more with TI. Usually we do the rumors, but tis
Speaker 1: here we're talking about a lot to don't move. It's
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club. DJ Envy
Speaker 1: Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Now TI is here. Usually this is where we do rumors,
Speaker 1: but TI is here. So before you leave, TI, who
Speaker 1: have been the trap music? Come on, man, come on man,
Speaker 1: while you ain't listen man, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1: We need not ask questions we already no the answer
Speaker 1: to you did the word trap had never been coupled
Speaker 1: with the word music to make a phrase before August nineteen,
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. Nobody can ever show you anyone
Speaker 1: saying trap music. You can say people were talking about trap,
Speaker 1: people were talking about Syna Drew. Listen, man, people were
Speaker 1: playing electric guitar before rock and roll. But that didn't
Speaker 1: make it rock and roll. We made it rock and roll.
Speaker 1: Said this is rock and roll. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I think that you know that is that's a
Speaker 1: frivolous discussion when we have bigger fish to fry. Excuse
Speaker 1: I have bigger fish to fry. I think that my
Speaker 1: purpose is greater than talking about who created something that
Speaker 1: I know I created and and I have you know
Speaker 1: since transcended. You know what I'm saying. But Jeff, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you an example, let me match you a question. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's the number one phone in the world right now,
Speaker 1: what's everybody's faith phone? Okay, I phone? Now, as great
Speaker 1: as the iPhone is and as much as everybody like it,
Speaker 1: you can never say this is the first cell phone,
Speaker 1: right You can never say that. You can't take away
Speaker 1: from the motor roller flip floone. You can't take away
Speaker 1: from the next church. No matter how much you love
Speaker 1: this I phone, man, you must pay homage to what
Speaker 1: led up to because the reason the I phone became
Speaker 1: the I phone it because they didn't have to go
Speaker 1: back and research all this technology that all these other
Speaker 1: phones before them had done. Same thing. Hell, if I
Speaker 1: hadn't done what I done, it would have at least
Speaker 1: taken you a whole lot longer or you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, to get where you and it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: the same. It just wouldn't. I think you made it
Speaker 1: a genre. It just wouldn't. I mean I didn't create
Speaker 1: I mean, that's anything that happened after that is under
Speaker 1: that period, and that's that on that. But I will
Speaker 1: say it's interesting because I find that there is a
Speaker 1: common type of people who have this argument. You know what,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's a common kind of like thread that
Speaker 1: kind of binds them. And y'all remember the wire, right.
Speaker 1: You got some cats who are more fond of Avon
Speaker 1: Barksdale and his methods. You have some cats who are
Speaker 1: more fun a stringer bell, you know. So cats who
Speaker 1: feel like they mow Avon Barksdale. You know what I'm saying, Grid,
Speaker 1: Me and the gutta get it down. You live dirt
Speaker 1: under your fingernails, and you know what I'm saying, keys
Speaker 1: with the blood stain on it, and know that you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Just keeping it real. You know,
Speaker 1: those cats, they tend to go over that way with
Speaker 1: the other guy. And the cats who feel like we
Speaker 1: have an elevated level of success that allows us to
Speaker 1: diversify our portfolio and not have to, you know, u
Speaker 1: subject to ourselves to such inconveniences like life in prison
Speaker 1: or casket, you know what I'm saying. And we take
Speaker 1: this and we build upon it and grow and take
Speaker 1: it to something else. And those people kind of air
Speaker 1: on the side of me. So you'll never convinced Avon
Speaker 1: Barsdell supporter that stringer bell is you know, more effective.
Speaker 1: That's just like a principle within you. So if that's
Speaker 1: what you act, then that what you act. But facts facts,
Speaker 1: and that is that you play them dough boys in
Speaker 1: the traffic. Mo. I'm serious, hey man, I can't the
Speaker 1: word thing I could do. Man, It's just I sound
Speaker 1: stupid trying to convince people or something so simple like
Speaker 1: if I tell you, if I try to tell you,
Speaker 1: hey man, the sun is outside shining. The sun is shining.
Speaker 1: That's what's lighting the whole thing up, and you like, no,
Speaker 1: it ain't. The more I argue with you about something
Speaker 1: so obvious but dumber I get. So I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: them have it. Look at I have elevated the discussion
Speaker 1: to come to you versus the people. That is the
Speaker 1: discussion right now. This discussion has already paid. We've passed that.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Trump, what about him? He comes to Atlanta
Speaker 1: and he says, uh, I would like to meet with
Speaker 1: one of the leaders of the Black Dela get the
Speaker 1: Black Order, Harris. I just would like to have a
Speaker 1: conversation to see if there's anything that can be done
Speaker 1: in the community. And would you have the conversation if
Speaker 1: I could bring fair come with me. Oh okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna bring somebody smarter than me. I ain't either him
Speaker 1: or John Lewis, John Lewis, Andy, Um, somebody got to
Speaker 1: come just to make sure just going the way, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because I ain't, Because you gonnahea,
Speaker 1: he gonna have somebody there. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have somebody there that's probably giving him the
Speaker 1: low down on me and what I'm saying. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take somebody with me, and the conversation before anything started,
Speaker 1: hold up, First of all, what's with the blame, disregard
Speaker 1: and did respect to my people? Let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: We can't move forward to do nothing together. I can't
Speaker 1: even look at you out of eye. We can't. If
Speaker 1: it ain't a mutual respect, then we can't go nowhere.
Speaker 1: And you've been did respect enough from the jump. So
Speaker 1: what's happening and how he answered that gonna depend on
Speaker 1: how the rest of the meeting go. If he walks
Speaker 1: in with a hat, you smacking the hat off, No,
Speaker 1: that's a soul literally take no hell no like a picture,
Speaker 1: fuck no photo. We had to get something done. It's real.
