Speaker 12: it's new to you. You know what I mean, You

Speaker 13: We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 13: Brother black Thought, welcome back.
Speaker 10: Yeah, man, thank you, thank you, thank you, Larry black Thought.
Speaker 10: I'm great. I'm great. I feel great this morning.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 12: I had an amazing book called The Upcycled Self.
Speaker 2: Ucycled Self. What does that title meant?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 17: Essentially, it's about, you know, putting those parts of our
Speaker 17: of our of ourselves, of our of our past. You
Speaker 17: know what I'm saying that you're no longer going to
Speaker 17: service or no longer going to service in the same way,
Speaker 17: to a to a different use, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 17: to a better use.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 17: So that's that's what it's about. Really, it's a it's
Speaker 17: a self help memoir of sorts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the art of becoming who we are. I always wonder.
Speaker 12: Why did it take us so long to discover who
Speaker 12: we actually are.
Speaker 17: I mean, you know, it's a it's a it's a process,
Speaker 17: you know what I mean. It's it's it's valleys and peaks,
Speaker 17: and I think it's uh, you know you you you
Speaker 17: you arrive at in understanding of who you are, you know, uh,
Speaker 17: over time.
Speaker 10: So it's really no shortcut, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 17: It's a uh it's a lot of people that think
Speaker 17: you can go from A to Z, but you gotta go.
Speaker 10: B, C, D, E, F G first, you know saying.
Speaker 12: And it teaches you too that you know, everything is parallel,
Speaker 12: like there's really nothing behind you.
Speaker 17: Absolutely, you know what I mean. Yeah, Yeah, And in
Speaker 17: this book is about that too. It's about you know,
Speaker 17: accepting uh the present.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 17: It's just you know, living, uh, being more intentional about
Speaker 17: about your So yeah, that's that's That's where I'm at
Speaker 17: with it.
Speaker 13: Did you get a chance to deal with all the
Speaker 13: trauma before you put it in this book? Or was
Speaker 13: it some of it was releasing that trauma by writing
Speaker 13: this book.
Speaker 17: Yeah, a lot of the trauma, you know, it was
Speaker 17: it was addressed in during the process, you know, And
Speaker 17: that's That's what made it, you know, just like this
Speaker 17: was my therapy. It was really you know, a cathartic
Speaker 17: sort of experience, and more so than I'd expected. I mean,
Speaker 17: you know, you know your your history, right, but when
Speaker 17: it's laid out there, you know what I mean, when
Speaker 17: you have it on on the Q cards and you
Speaker 17: know what I mean and you're reading it, uh.
Speaker 10: You know in a linear sort of way.
Speaker 17: I mean, it just hits different man, it hits it
Speaker 17: hits differently. And there was something that uh, my co author,
Speaker 17: Jasmine Martin was able to, uh to employ like a
Speaker 17: tool she was able to use during this process that
Speaker 17: it really hit me hard when I was reading one
Speaker 17: of the final drafts of the book and it was
Speaker 17: you know, she was able to speak. There's an a
Speaker 17: side section where you hear, you know, my mother, like
Speaker 17: you hear my mother's perspective, and the way she was
Speaker 17: able to, uh, you know, just to approximate my mother's
Speaker 17: perspective in her voice, That's what really really hit me
Speaker 17: hard in the process.
Speaker 13: Did you have a question your faith as a kid
Speaker 13: growing up because you talk about so much death in
Speaker 13: your life and yeah, all the stuff that you've been through,
Speaker 13: did you ever say, you know, what, does this really exist?
Speaker 13: Is there really a god or whoever you believe it?
Speaker 13: Did you have a question your faith at all?
Speaker 10: I did?
Speaker 17: Yeah, There's definitely been times, you know when you I've
Speaker 17: questioned my my faith? Uh you know, or I mean
Speaker 17: just on the existential tip, you know what I mean,
Speaker 17: like if there's a god, you know, how could all
Speaker 17: of this you know, loss and trauma and death, uh,
Speaker 17: you know exists. It's some of the stuff that I
Speaker 17: write about. How was the world this ugly? If you
Speaker 17: made it in your image? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 17: That's one of my bars from a song called Dear God.
Speaker 17: But yeah, to answer your question, definitely.
Speaker 2: How did you get that back?
Speaker 13: And the reason I asked is if you don't know
Speaker 13: when you read the book, you're line out that you
Speaker 13: lost your father at a young age.
Speaker 2: You lost your mom at a young age as well.
Speaker 4: I murdered.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So how did you get that faith back?
Speaker 10: Through the arts?
Speaker 17: Visual art, which was my gateway you know, into music,
Speaker 17: and and that's that's what really saved my life.
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 17: It was a game changer that I would have been
Speaker 17: on the I was already on it. I was on
Speaker 17: that path. And you know, me meeting quest love when
Speaker 17: I did, which you know I talk about in the book,
Speaker 17: and just getting on on that musical trajectory of the
Speaker 17: arts is what really saved me.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 12: I know you was a baby when your father was
Speaker 12: tragedally murdered, when a teenager when your mother. Was you
Speaker 12: able to process that pain in the moment or was
Speaker 12: that something that you dealt with as you got older?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's something that I'm still dealing with.
Speaker 17: I definitely was not able to process it in the moment,
Speaker 17: you know, no matter how hard I tried, right, you know,
Speaker 17: I wanted to feel all the emotion that that you
Speaker 17: you know, you expect you would expect one to feel
Speaker 17: when you experienced that sort of loss. But I mean
Speaker 17: for me, it, I mean, it took forever before I
Speaker 17: was even able to shed.
Speaker 10: A tear about, you know, my mother's murder, you know.
Speaker 17: And I think it's just because there was so many
Speaker 17: layers of callous and in scar tissue to to sort
Speaker 17: of work through.
Speaker 10: And that's what that's what this book is about.
Speaker 17: It's about that armor that you know, at one point
Speaker 17: in time it might it might serve as a defense mechanism.
Speaker 10: It might you know, protect you.
Speaker 17: But as we move through life and you get into
Speaker 17: different spaces, you start to interact with different people, and
Speaker 17: you know, you're now you in these different dynamics, they
Speaker 17: no longer service in the same way.
Speaker 12: What about vengeance and revenge Like, how do you ultimately
Speaker 12: let let that go?
Speaker 10: I mean, did you? Yeah?
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean I feeling I definitely feel like I have.
Speaker 17: It's that that was just a wise move. I think
Speaker 17: I definitely came to to to understand as a young person,
Speaker 17: when I was still a teenager that uh, you know,
Speaker 17: holding on to uh, to to negative energy in that way,
Speaker 17: you know, it's as as detrimental to you know, the
Speaker 17: beholder as is to whoever you're trying to project it upon.
Speaker 17: So there, Yeah, I've never really sat with, uh, you know,
Speaker 17: the whole vengeance in that way, you know what I
Speaker 17: mean as far as like in the in my dad's case,
Speaker 17: uh it was it's still it was never a solved murder.
Speaker 17: But in my mom's case, uh, you know, they they
Speaker 17: they apprehended someone shortly after and uh, you know we
Speaker 17: went through the trial and everything, and you know, he
Speaker 17: received the sentence, and then there was a mistrial of
Speaker 17: it all and he was we had to sit through
Speaker 17: it again. So I sat through actually through my mother's
Speaker 17: murder trial twice, you know. And but in that, you know,
Speaker 17: once it, once it was done, it was something that
Speaker 17: I had to let go of, you know what I mean,
Speaker 17: in order for me to be able to move forward.
Speaker 13: So and you still had love for fulfilling regardless of
Speaker 13: everything that happened.
Speaker 10: That got to be tough to absolutely, Yeah, yeah, I have.
Speaker 17: I have, absolutely have love, you know, for for Philadelphia.
Speaker 10: That's that's the place that made me.
Speaker 17: But you know it's also it's one of those you know,
Speaker 17: it could make you, it could break you, you know
Speaker 17: what I mean.
Speaker 10: And it's the city of brotherly love. That love. It
Speaker 10: has always been a tough love, all right.
Speaker 13: We got more with Black Thought when we come back,
Speaker 13: don't move.
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 13: Morning everybody at j Envy, Charlamagne, the guy we are
Speaker 13: the Breakfast Club were still kicking it with Black Thought. Charlomagne,
Speaker 13: I was gonna ask with the roots, when you guys
Speaker 13: created the roots, When did y'all start making money? And
Speaker 13: the reason I asked, is because it was new, Like
Speaker 13: when when the Roots came out, it was something that
Speaker 13: hip hop hasn't seen on that platform or respected on
Speaker 13: that platform. So when did the Roots finally break through
Speaker 13: and was like, nah, this is hip hop's bad.
Speaker 17: I want to say around two thousand and six.
Speaker 13: So was it hard to always, you know, break into
Speaker 13: a market, sell it to a promoter because I just
Speaker 13: remember the Roots so early on and just like this
Speaker 13: is just so different, and sometimes in hip hop different,
Speaker 13: it's hard to break through.
Speaker 10: It was very hard for us.
Speaker 17: It was you know, super difficult to what because we
Speaker 17: didn't really look or sound or feel like anything else
Speaker 17: that was that was happening. It was a lot of uh,
Speaker 17: you know, we always had to prove ourselves right and
Speaker 17: and you know, I mean it took so long for
Speaker 17: us to even break even financially, and that's something that
Speaker 17: just came over time. Uh, you know, just paying those
Speaker 17: dues on the road, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 17: you start at one point touring and then you're able
Speaker 17: to sort of get your stock up just through when
Speaker 17: you keep coming back, you.
Speaker 10: Know what I mean.
Speaker 17: So we were able to sort of build on on
Speaker 17: on that relevance and it was wild. It was like
Speaker 17: when we finally hit a point, you know, six o seven,
Speaker 17: you know where we felt like, yeah, you know, all
Speaker 17: of these years of two hundred plus days on the
Speaker 17: road started to pay off. That's when, you know, there
Speaker 17: was a whole seismic shift in the way people started
Speaker 17: to receive you know, people were receiving music and you know,
Speaker 17: concert tickets and all that thing. It was, you know,
Speaker 17: we went through a revolution with the you know, streaming
Speaker 17: and that whole thing. So and then that's when the
Speaker 17: Tonight Show opportunity presented itself, and that's what made it
Speaker 17: make sense. It was like, you know, we had just reached,
Speaker 17: finally reach stuff.
Speaker 10: We hit a stride and and everything was changing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 17: So yeah, that that in that uncertainty, uh you know,
Speaker 17: the the consistency of the day job, in that platform
Speaker 17: that it would it would represent you know, it looked
Speaker 17: really good.
Speaker 2: Was there a particular moment?
Speaker 4: Was it?
Speaker 2: Was it a Jay Z using y'all a lot, or like,
Speaker 2: was it a particular moment that caused that shift?
Speaker 10: You know, when we started to make some bread, Yeah,
Speaker 10: I meant.
Speaker 12: Get recognized by enough to where the Tonight Show was
Speaker 12: like ya want that well.
Speaker 10: You know, yeah, and I think it was just over time, man.
Speaker 17: You know, we you know, we've been around for I
Speaker 17: mean blessed enough to have been around for such a
Speaker 17: long time that you know. A good example is, you know,
Speaker 17: there's a festival that takes place in in in Denmark and.
Speaker 10: Copenhagen every year.
Speaker 17: It's called Ross Guild, and uh, you know, we started
Speaker 17: playing at Ross Guild before we were even you know,
Speaker 17: allowed on the actual festival grounds, like we were you know,
Speaker 17: two tenths you know, out on the main strip right
Speaker 17: and you know, we we worked our way up from
Speaker 17: you know, the outskirts to the tenth you know, right.
Speaker 10: On the borderline to you know, uh you know, third
Speaker 10: and fourth.
Speaker 17: Stages until we came back and we were able to headline,
Speaker 17: you know with it was the Roots and Bruce Springsteen
Speaker 17: co headline. So you know, but yeah, that was over
Speaker 17: you know what I'm saying many years and it's like
Speaker 17: Roskilda isn't like we've.
Speaker 10: Done that around the world, you.
Speaker 17: Know what I mean, just because we've been able to
Speaker 17: keep up appearances. So yeah, yeah, I guess we just
Speaker 17: paid our dues, you know. Yeah, and then once we
Speaker 17: got you know, we got into Late Night and we
Speaker 17: started doing that thing. It definitely represented a change in
Speaker 17: our career where we haven't been able to tour in
Speaker 17: that same way. So yeah, everything that we had done
Speaker 17: up until that point, it's just been a blessing. And
Speaker 17: it's this sort of thing where we probably had taken
Speaker 17: it for granted and thought we'd be able to do
Speaker 17: it forever.
Speaker 10: But you know, here we are and now.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's uh, it's just more of a blessing and
Speaker 17: just a greater opportunity when we do get to go
Speaker 17: out and still touch the fans.
Speaker 10: In that way. Now.
Speaker 12: Now, when you decided to write about the altercation you
Speaker 12: had request love, Yeah, back back in the nineties, you
Speaker 12: have to ask him if you could speak on that.
Speaker 17: No, I didn't have to ask him because he's written
Speaker 17: about it in one of his books. And it's the
Speaker 17: sort of thing that you know, like, that's my brother,
Speaker 17: So I mean, I know if it's good or not,
Speaker 17: you know, And.
Speaker 2: Also that's it's like to me, those are best relationships.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, if you can have, if you can fight
Speaker 12: and then get over it, yeah, hey man, Yeah.
Speaker 17: And you know, it really takes it takes it takes
Speaker 17: love for somebody to get you that upset, right, you
Speaker 17: know what I mean, Only my my loved ones have
Speaker 17: ever really been able to get me that ribbed up, right.
Speaker 17: So it's it's there's there's something in that. But yeah,
Speaker 17: you know I was. We were all kids at that point,
Speaker 17: you know. Now now I'm an adult, so I would
Speaker 17: I would, I would have dealt with that situation a
Speaker 17: completely different way.
Speaker 2: How long did y'all not speak?
Speaker 10: I mean we lived together, maybe we didn't speak for
Speaker 10: the train ride home.
Speaker 5: But it's like once we got.
Speaker 2: Back to its and and how was that I had
Speaker 2: to be uncomfortable?
Speaker 4: Awkward? Like, bro, yeah it was.
Speaker 10: It was definitely, you know, it was awkward. It was uncomfortable.
Speaker 17: You know, It's the sort of thing that I would
Speaker 17: laugh about, you know, almost most immediately. Like that's just
Speaker 17: where I come from.
Speaker 5: And the name black thoughts, where exactly did that derive from?
Speaker 17: It derived from you know, my my, my time as
Speaker 17: a visual artist and uh, you know, just dealing with
Speaker 17: paints and you know, just the color palette. I realized
Speaker 17: that you know, so much more went into you know,
Speaker 17: arriving at the color black, you know what I mean?
Speaker 10: Uh, than than one would think.
Speaker 17: There's so many different nuances and colors, other colors that
Speaker 17: go into you know, arriving at the color black.
Speaker 10: So that's sort of what it.
Speaker 17: Would it began as, and over time it's it's evolved
Speaker 17: into something you know, that has taken far, far greater
Speaker 17: meaning you know both I guess to me and and
Speaker 17: to you know, to people who support me. So yeah,
Speaker 17: at the time I didn't think, you know, I wasn't
Speaker 17: thinking of black thought as the concept of a people
Speaker 17: you know what I'm saying, But that's sort of what
Speaker 17: what has come to mean.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, Yeah, well man, black thoughts book man, that's right,
Speaker 12: cyclesycle selves.

Speaker 13: want people to get out of this book? If they

Speaker 17: see themselves, you know, better understand themselves or better understand
Speaker 17: you know, their path, their their lived experience. If this
Speaker 17: is going to be you know, an entree into someone
Speaker 17: else being able to start to work through their stuff,
Speaker 17: and you know, shed some of those layers of armor
Speaker 17: that are no longer useful, you know what I mean,
Speaker 17: those layers of callous and in scar tissue. Then not yeah,

Speaker 17: do it for, but it definitely uh yeah, I mean
Speaker 17: it feels. It's great to be recognized, you know what
Speaker 17: I mean?
Speaker 13: Absolutely well, it's black thought. We appreciate you. Pick up
Speaker 13: his book, The Upcycled Self. It is the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Good morning, it's.
Speaker 4: Topic time.
Speaker 3: Eight hundred five five five one to join into the
Speaker 3: discussion with the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Morning everybody.
Speaker 13: It's DJ Envy Charlamagne to God. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 13: Now if you're just joining us, we're talking about a
Speaker 13: situation that comes out of blue Face and Krashan's relationship. Now,
Speaker 13: blue Face allegedly took a DNA test, uh secretly and
Speaker 13: it proved that he is not the father of their child.
Speaker 13: So we're asking, is it disrespectful to ask for a
Speaker 13: DNA test and is it even more disrespectful to secretly doing.
Speaker 7: And you got to say, we don't know for sure
Speaker 7: if like that DNA test and.
Speaker 6: What he said is real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we said that leg yes, So I mean he's
Speaker 2: saying he took it and it's not his, but we
Speaker 2: don't know for sure.
Speaker 12: It don't even matter about them, no, Yeah, let's let's
Speaker 12: let's talk about the situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is the question.
Speaker 13: So, how would you feel if if you were dating somebody,
Speaker 13: you were pregnant and a dude got a DNA test
Speaker 13: and you didn't.
Speaker 7: Know how serious? Are we like locked in or we
Speaker 7: just like having fun?
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, it doesn't matter. If we just having fun
Speaker 7: and like we are honest about the fact that we're
Speaker 7: dating other people and that happened, I would have to
Speaker 7: respect it. I would want you to be able to
Speaker 7: just know me and trust me, but I'll have to
Speaker 7: respect it because we are obviously dealing with.
Speaker 12: Other people, and I would expect you to get a
Speaker 12: DNA test. That'd be the first thing I'd do. If
Speaker 12: it was just a girl that I was out here
Speaker 12: having fun with and she got pregnant, the first thing
Speaker 12: I'm going to do is say, let's get a DNA test.
Speaker 13: But even if you're in a relationship and you feel
Speaker 13: possibly that baby is not yours, you wouldn't tell a
Speaker 13: person because that ruins the whole relationship, that relationship, that
Speaker 13: ruins everything what you might want to know, right, because
Speaker 13: what's the first thing. Usually a guy's mama say that
Speaker 13: baby don't look like you. If the baby say that,
Speaker 13: baby don't look like you.
Speaker 7: But you also know too, as a guy, what you're
Speaker 7: doing and how often you're doing it, and how locked
Speaker 7: in y'all are.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how often the woman is doing
Speaker 2: it and how much you know.
Speaker 7: They could be doing it under each other all the time, though,
Speaker 7: like that.
Speaker 2: Don't mean nothing, really, No, women are like cats. Men
Speaker 2: are like y'all.
Speaker 12: See men when they go out there cheat, they get
Speaker 12: you know, they they do it in the open, in
Speaker 12: front of everybody, like you'd be driving. You're driving down
Speaker 12: the road, you then pass the yard and seeing two
Speaker 12: dogs stuck together.
Speaker 2: You ain't never.
Speaker 12: Seen two cats having sex with each other ever. That's
Speaker 12: why men are like dogs. Women are like cats smarter.
Speaker 12: So I don't think it's disrespectful, No, sneaky, I don't
Speaker 12: think it's disrespectful.
Speaker 2: You know, to go do what?
Speaker 15: Uh you know?
Speaker 2: Blue face?
Speaker 4: Did you know?
Speaker 12: You can't tell people, trust their intuition, trust their gut,
Speaker 12: And then when they do tell them they're being disrespectful.
Speaker 2: Because if a.
Speaker 12: Man sneaks and does it, and he's right about not
Speaker 12: being the father being mad at him for sneaking and
Speaker 12: getting the DNA test.
Speaker 5: That's just a deflection.
Speaker 7: But even if the woman really thought that he was
Speaker 7: a father, yes, but like it's not like she's pinning
Speaker 7: the kid on you. She just really thought you were
Speaker 7: the fire.
Speaker 2: You put the other options on the table.
Speaker 13: You should have put the other the kid.
Speaker 5: Did you put the other option on the table?
Speaker 7: Said that in the beginning. I said, if we were
Speaker 7: just having fun, and I'm but if you're.
Speaker 2: Not having what if you're in a relationship but you
Speaker 2: did creep.
Speaker 7: Off, well then that's messed up. Of course that's messed up.
Speaker 12: So you can't be mad at a person for having
Speaker 12: some intuition and feeling like they should go get a
Speaker 12: DNA test.
Speaker 15: Not at all.
Speaker 2: Hello, who's this hell?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 2: This is hey Jay. Look I want to talk to us.
Speaker 4: What's your thoughts.
Speaker 18: So I don't think it's disrespectful at all to ask
Speaker 18: for a DNA test. It is disrespectful to get one
Speaker 18: behind the parents' back. But you could just straight up
Speaker 18: everyone and if they deny the dad, get the DNA
Speaker 18: test and you know they can take them on the court.
Speaker 2: I think you got to protect your peace, man.
Speaker 12: I get what you're saying, but you know, asking for
Speaker 12: a DNA test is going to start a whole other
Speaker 12: audible the household. Correct, So so I wouldn't much rather
Speaker 12: let me go do this on my own.
Speaker 7: But if you do it on your own and then
Speaker 7: the kid is not yours and you decide to stay,
Speaker 7: do you didn't have to have a conversation about the
Speaker 7: fact that you snuck it like it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2: No, No, because the reason you stuck was true.
Speaker 7: Regardless of what you decide to stay, You're not gonna
Speaker 7: You're not gonna say nothing to the.
Speaker 5: Woman I would be.
Speaker 12: I mean, I'm not saying that that can't happen, but
Speaker 12: I think it's very rare to find the man who
Speaker 12: snucking did the DNA test, found out the kid wasn't here,
Speaker 12: and said, I'm just gonna keep this to myself.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: It's cold, people need heating a hot bed, you stupid d.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, indeed, what's your thoughts? D this happened to me.
Speaker 19: It's not disrespectful to ask for a DNA test, but
Speaker 19: it's disrespectful all my language, But it is this respectful
Speaker 19: to go behind my map. It's by my child without
Speaker 19: without me know, very disrespectful.
Speaker 1: I feel like whether we messing around or not.
Speaker 18: And I say it's.
Speaker 19: Your baby and you believe it, then he's like that,
Speaker 19: go for it, don't believe it.
Speaker 8: Got to get a test, like just.
Speaker 2: Be real, Well, technically somebody's back is.
Speaker 12: Well, technically I'm not just swapping your child. I'm swapping
Speaker 12: my child because it's still our child until I find
Speaker 12: out it's not.
Speaker 1: What is the act.
Speaker 8: I'm doing it for me around as.
Speaker 12: Well, or just I don't want to go through the beef.
Speaker 12: You know, you know good and well, you're not gonna
Speaker 12: take that. Well if a man with you and be
Speaker 12: like I'm gonna put you out, No you're not.
Speaker 13: You're only gonna go through the beef if I find
Speaker 13: out the child is not mine.
Speaker 2: Child is hours.
Speaker 13: I ain't gonna come on like what the problem?
Speaker 5: Just like I feel like, mom, you know what the
Speaker 5: problem is?
Speaker 13: That doesn't He looks like the would.
Speaker 7: Make it even worse. If you say that to me,
Speaker 7: you better be ready.
Speaker 13: I say, unless your kids old enough, and they'll be like, mommy,
Speaker 13: why did daddy put that cute tip in my mouth?
Speaker 2: Today?
Speaker 9: Did?
Speaker 2: Now you're in trouble in trouble. There is.
Speaker 12: There is no woman on earth that's gonna take that well.
Speaker 12: No a man coming to her saying, I don't think
Speaker 12: this baby is mine? Can we get a DNA too?
Speaker 7: And he looked like the other one is that.
Speaker 12: The only way a woman takes that well is if
Speaker 12: y'all not not in the relationship, if y'all was just
Speaker 12: sleeping around with each other and you know, it was
Speaker 12: still I don't think it's like.
Speaker 7: She can't you can't really be mad about it, but
Speaker 7: you still be.
Speaker 13: Like if she said the child is yours and you're like, well,
Speaker 13: I wanted to get a test.
Speaker 12: If you're just sleeping around, if we don't have no
Speaker 12: relationship but we don't know each other, I don't think
Speaker 12: does it.
Speaker 7: You gotta be practical and you cannot be upset. But
Speaker 7: in the inside and in her group chat, she's gonna
Speaker 7: be like, y'all know he asked me for it, Like
Speaker 7: she gonna feel little way a little bit.
Speaker 2: Hello, who's this?
Speaker 20: Hello?
Speaker 9: This is Race Stair.
Speaker 2: Hey Rachel, talk to us. What's your thoughts?
Speaker 1: So I'm big on telling everybody, like, get a DNA test,
Speaker 1: Get a DNA test. It's mama's baby. Daddy's maybe so
Speaker 1: rather y'all together. No matter what's going on, a DNA
Speaker 1: test should be had. Nobody have to sneak into it
Speaker 1: because it should already be something that's disgusted. That's something
Speaker 1: you should talk about before you even have a kid
Speaker 1: with a person. I want to make sure there's not
Speaker 1: ayb I'm gonna get a DNA test.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I just thought about something too, Like,
Speaker 12: you know, if you go to a woman and you
Speaker 12: ask for a DNA test, if she knows that it's
Speaker 12: a possibility the baby may not be hers, she probably
Speaker 12: would get highly highly upset because you only it's two
Speaker 12: things go have you gethighly upset because you know the
Speaker 12: baby may not be his? Are you gonna get highly
Speaker 12: upset because he asked you? But if he asked you
Speaker 12: and you know it's his, you're probably just gonna be
Speaker 12: just sitting back waiting to give him that little smirk
Speaker 12: like now what?
Speaker 1: But that's not so I wouldn't get mad like my
Speaker 1: baby daddy. I was like, please, do you get a
Speaker 1: DNA test? Like I tried a lot of them and everything,
Speaker 1: like it's the possibility. I don't know. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why I did it though my baby daddy.
Speaker 1: My baby daddy is from the country in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: He feels as if he don't have to do anything
Speaker 1: because it's not proof that it's.
Speaker 2: His part from corner.
Speaker 1: He's from Dylan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's country country.
Speaker 1: So he feels like he don't got to do nothing
Speaker 1: without proof. So when I was putting them on child support,
Speaker 1: I'm like, just get a DNA set. Just get one.
Speaker 1: Just get one, you know, child support. They asked you, like,
Speaker 1: do you want to get one? He will not get one,
Speaker 1: and he finally confessed, like I already knew it was.
Speaker 1: I ain't had no doubt about it. I'm like, you
Speaker 1: still should have got one, just for your security, like
Speaker 1: that black and white paper would have made you feel
Speaker 1: a whole lot better. That's right, you would not get one,
Speaker 1: But I feel like everybody still get one. I got
Speaker 1: five brothers. I been telling my brothers all the time.
Speaker 1: You don't know what these women do.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 7: Even married people y'all think should do this as well too.
Speaker 2: No, no, not married people.
Speaker 12: I see you just in a relationship with somebody and
Speaker 12: y'all not committed, or if y'all just sleeping around.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want.
Speaker 7: That piece in my life. I don't want to have
Speaker 7: to go through that.
Speaker 12: But I think any any time you have any intuition,
Speaker 12: any inkling that they may not be all.
Speaker 2: Get a DNA test that feeling for a reason.
Speaker 10: Hello, who's this?
Speaker 2: It was something? Talk to us, brother man.
Speaker 4: I used to work with a guy right he found.
Speaker 8: Out it wasn't here.
Speaker 4: When he was like, where you going?
Speaker 1: She said she still and said I'm going to see
Speaker 1: my daddy.
Speaker 5: And he was like, what, so you have to get
Speaker 5: a DNA test?
Speaker 1: I heard as she's from the meditatory DNA.
Speaker 5: Once want the woman have the baby? Hu, they're gonna
Speaker 5: have a DNA test? Is goodbye?
Speaker 10: Sir?
Speaker 2: What the hell that? I don't know? Jesus Christ? What's
Speaker 2: the mother of the story? More the stories?
Speaker 12: What I said earlier, If you have any you know inkling,
Speaker 12: or you know your instincts are telling you it may
Speaker 12: not be yours?
Speaker 2: What's wrong with getting the dnahs?
Speaker 7: Moral can also be just pull out?
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 7: Don't get pregnant by somebody that's gonna have to question you.
Speaker 2: You'll get pregnant soon if you go in with the
Speaker 2: pullout message.
Speaker 5: Just what why what I'm just saying.
Speaker 12: I want you to get on this radio sometimes and
Speaker 12: defy Delaware stereo.
Speaker 2: We call it dirty Delaware, and all you.
Speaker 12: Do every time you get the opportunity to guest holds
Speaker 12: on Breakfast Club is reinforced the dirty Delaware stereo tech
Speaker 12: dirt coming from a woman.
Speaker 7: They're not using kind of if the person is potentially pregnant,
Speaker 7: so you're not going to use them.
Speaker 5: Guys, don't be like that.
Speaker 7: Don't don't with that discuss I don't like that.
Speaker 4: Alright.
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club of One.
Speaker 4: The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 9: Morning Everybody.
Speaker 2: It's d J n V Charlamage the guy. We are
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. Our special guest host Chris kling his hair.
Speaker 9: What's up?
Speaker 2: Have we got some special guests in the building.
Speaker 9: Our guy you can in his hair?
Speaker 2: Yes, with a special guest Klondike Blonde.
Speaker 9: We got a future superstar in the building, integrated to
Speaker 9: you all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no seen, but he hasn't been here. But you
Speaker 2: can do it every damn thing out there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I'm good man.
Speaker 21: I'm excited about you know, obviously, here to talk about
Speaker 21: the new show that we launching on b t V
Speaker 21: H one but just working man, you know how to
Speaker 21: go just the grinds, doing my morning show thing too.
Speaker 21: So that's probably why I really ain't been able to
Speaker 21: be up here.
Speaker 12: What's your superstar? Speaking of you the superstars, how do
Speaker 12: you feel about your son being a better rapper than
Speaker 12: you guys?
Speaker 2: Amazing?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 9: Who you think?
Speaker 11: I I go?
Speaker 9: I want none of my wax sauce to get on him.
Speaker 9: So he's doing I'm calling back now.
Speaker 2: Somebody said he over the ghost right for you?
Speaker 9: He should?
Speaker 21: Nah, My son is amazing man, And like seeing like that.
Speaker 21: You know, when I'm young, kids really got the natural
Speaker 21: swag like I'll be. He'd be putting me up on
Speaker 21: the new game and stuff. And the dope thing is
Speaker 21: he's a rapper, but he's also a producer too, so
Speaker 21: he's really into that space of like making beats and
Speaker 21: DJ and gaming and all that stuff. If he wants
Speaker 21: to do that, I see he really got it. He
Speaker 21: y'all see him rocking them stage and doing it every
Speaker 21: night on tour with his mom.
Speaker 12: So that's pressure though, right, because he's Nick Cannon's damn right,
Speaker 12: there's no pressure.
Speaker 9: Of being Nick Cannon's.
Speaker 21: You're still a superstar, but now being Mariah's daughter and
Speaker 21: singing yes true, that's the presson. So that's why even
Speaker 21: with Monroe, we gotta doing things like I taught her
Speaker 21: how to play guitar. We still I want her to
Speaker 21: have other aspect. She really wants to be an actress too.
Speaker 21: She's talking about she wants to go to the Yale
Speaker 21: Drama School and make sure like if she.
Speaker 5: Really gets like she's taking it serious.
Speaker 21: And she's already talking about, you know, getting her her
Speaker 21: degree in theater at Yale. So like just trying to,
Speaker 21: you know, as a father, trying to really guide them
Speaker 21: in the direction. And we never pushed it on them,
Speaker 21: but the fact that now they're really starting to embrace
Speaker 21: it as they get into the teenage world, really want
Speaker 21: to cultivate it.
Speaker 13: So I'm proud of them. Man, they do it skip
Speaker 13: with one of your child's moms, Yes a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 13: any other child mom be like, why do you do
Speaker 13: so many skits with what's interesting? Because like I mean,
Speaker 13: everybody kind of got they lane. So like on my
Speaker 13: morning show, The Daily Cannon, I have, you know, one
Speaker 13: of the mothers of my children, she's in radio.
Speaker 9: She dj Abby Daily Rosa.
Speaker 21: So that's kind of her space, so our social commentary
Speaker 21: and daily conversation, that's her lane. Brie is on selling
Speaker 21: Sunset and like kind of like a social media gurgle
Speaker 21: and stuff, So that's her lane, and everybody even behind
Speaker 21: the scenes, like you know, some of them have like foundations,
Speaker 21: and we do a lot of philanthropic work.
Speaker 5: You'll see that someone literally like doctors.
Speaker 21: And writing op EDGs and BCIs, so you'll be able
Speaker 21: like the people that specifically the mothers and my children
Speaker 21: that I have in my life, I try to cultivate
Speaker 21: whatever it is that they're into, and even kind of
Speaker 21: goes all the way back to the business of like
Speaker 21: future superstars, Like I feel like I'm in that season.
Speaker 21: I'm in my era of just helping others and kind
Speaker 21: of amplifying whatever it is that they got going.
Speaker 9: And sometimes it just happened to be my baby mama.
Speaker 21: Yeah, that's always been your thing though, I mean you too, man,
Speaker 21: you don't get enough credit for all that you do
Speaker 21: is you know, helping people and putting them on and
Speaker 21: allowing them to shine. So I feel like we're kind
Speaker 21: of those guys that get to say, all right, if
Speaker 21: we see something in somebody, we can kind of put
Speaker 21: the mechanisms.
Speaker 12: Around them and allow them to do their thing allfreasons
Speaker 12: to God. There it is now Klondake Blond, how are you, man?
Speaker 7: I'm doing goody? How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm blessed?
Speaker 12: Black and holl the favorite. Now where did the content
Speaker 12: of future Superstars come from?
Speaker 4: Nick?
Speaker 2: And why Klondike Blond?
Speaker 4: Why did why her?
Speaker 2: Specifically?
Speaker 9: I mean, if you go, she's to go.
Speaker 21: She her vibe is punk rock rap like and if
Speaker 21: you saw her episode that actually just aired, you know
Speaker 21: this week is really these people have compelling stories. If
Speaker 21: we remember what VH one was always about, was like
Speaker 21: we saw the behind the music, and it was really
Speaker 21: like telling the story sometimes you know it was a
Speaker 21: retrospective story, but now it's like these are the origin stories.
Speaker 5: So this is like before the music. This is in
Speaker 5: her journey man.
Speaker 21: I mean everything that she's gone through in life from
Speaker 21: you know, there's a lot of tragedy, there's a lot
Speaker 21: of things to wear. How her music helps with their
Speaker 21: anxiety and to be able to kind of create your
Speaker 21: own genre. We went on this tour and I just
Speaker 21: wanted to highlight and tell the stories of these people
Speaker 21: that are just more than.
Speaker 9: Musicians because we didn't.
Speaker 4: We don't have that no more.
Speaker 21: We don't have other than platforms like y'all had. But
Speaker 21: we came up with VH one behind the music, you know,
Speaker 21: one oh six in partings. So I feel like we
Speaker 21: can now still be those curators to help this next generation,
Speaker 21: because I just got frustrated as somebody who has a
Speaker 21: label and has artists, and like, yo, what happened to
Speaker 21: that promo run? What happened to putting people on the road,
Speaker 21: coming into radio stations playing the song, meeting pds and
Speaker 21: shake your hands, kissing babies, all of that type of stuff,
Speaker 21: And we did that. I started the tour with Live Nation,
Speaker 21: and then I put the cameras on it, and you know,
Speaker 21: now we got you know, a tour, a TV show.
Speaker 5: They on the cover of Vibe magazine.
Speaker 21: It's like so now it's like this is like that
Speaker 21: that starter kit of like all right, the way double
Speaker 21: XL has the Freshman cover, But now we got the
Speaker 21: cover of the magazine, we got the tour, we got
Speaker 21: the TV show. So if you see one of these acts,
Speaker 21: they literally gonna become you know.
Speaker 12: The next What you just said is why I feel
Speaker 12: like it's hard to build superstars nowadays.
Speaker 21: One you don't everything is so microwaveable, you know what
Speaker 21: I mean. Everybody wanted, want it now, and then when
Speaker 21: they don't want it no more, they on to the
Speaker 21: next thing. But if you know someone's story, if you
Speaker 21: know what she went through, if you know you know
Speaker 21: her relationship, you know with her family and the things
Speaker 21: that you know how close she is with you know,
Speaker 21: her brother was one of her biggest fans and had
Speaker 21: a tragic accident and now she's doing it for her brother.
Speaker 21: If you know that the songs that you know Ray
Speaker 21: she has all the tattoos is connected to growing up
Speaker 21: in a trap house and mom and dad being teen agers.
Speaker 21: Like when you know that about somebody, when you hear
Speaker 21: their music, you're like, Okay, I'm connected now, And I
Speaker 21: feel like this generation of kids they're figuring it out
Speaker 21: through their phones and social media, but it's never amplified.
Speaker 21: You never get to see it at a level where
Speaker 21: you know, hopefully we're doing with super Future Superstar.
Speaker 6: So like what you're being from Raley, North Carolina to South,
Speaker 6: how did you get discovered? Because it seems like no
Speaker 6: one really looks for us.
Speaker 7: Down South exactly, especially in Carolina, right right. So the
Speaker 7: thing is I did move to Cali when I was twelve.
Speaker 6: Okay, so, but this was in the Bay Area.
Speaker 20: Even in the Bay Area, I couldn't really like get
Speaker 20: my name out there like I wanted to. So since
Speaker 20: I turned eighteen, I moved to Atlanta because I knew,
Speaker 20: like growing up, I knew that was a spot like
Speaker 20: to be like to get discovered in to pop off
Speaker 20: your career. So that's really how I got discovered in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: What about the name Klondyke Blonde.
Speaker 20: Honestly, it came out of my ass one day, really
Speaker 20: whatever nowhere, Like I had just cut my hair and
Speaker 20: bleashit blonde and I was about to upload my first song.
Speaker 20: I'm looking in the mirror high as hell and I'm like,
Speaker 20: I'm not feel to upload this song under my government name.
Speaker 20: So I don't know, it just came to me. I
Speaker 20: was like, Klondike Bland, this is it. So I really
Speaker 20: I uploaded this song, I put the name is Klondike Blond,
Speaker 20: and it's just fuck what.
Speaker 11: I mean?
Speaker 21: Well, honestly, it's you know, she's kind of truncating her
Speaker 21: story a little bit, but she was on the grind
Speaker 21: for a minute and actually had a song that went
Speaker 21: super viral. A lot of people already her drip record
Speaker 21: went crazy like twenty thirty million strin and I heard
Speaker 21: like my kids were singing it off of TikTok and
Speaker 21: I'm like one of them, annoying ass.
Speaker 7: Like I'm back on my d Yeah.
Speaker 12: I mean.
Speaker 21: I didn't know about it, Like I seen my kids
Speaker 21: singing it, like what is this damn song and the
Speaker 21: like you got to make sure it's not something appropriate. Yeah,
Speaker 21: And it's like, oh, this joint is crazy. And then
Speaker 21: through our connection, you know, through Frisco Chuck in the
Speaker 21: Bay and everything. She they who runs incredible music, was like, Yo,
Speaker 21: this is this is that record? And then we met
Speaker 21: her and knowing that she was already moving as I
Speaker 21: was like, yo, this she's a superstar, Like when she
Speaker 21: walked in the room, like that's a star right there.
Speaker 21: And then from there I was putting together the future
Speaker 21: Superstar tour and we're like, yo, we could probably make
Speaker 21: this work. And you know me, I'm always thinking TV shows, movies,
Speaker 21: products and all that, and she embodied everything that we
Speaker 21: were trying to put together with that young energy fact
Speaker 21: that she already had something that was popping and really
Speaker 21: just wanted to cultivate, Like yo, when you see somebody.
Speaker 21: I was like, all right, we're gonna tweak it like this.
Speaker 21: We're gonna take all that viral sensation and put something on.
Speaker 21: And I was like, Yo, she's a rock star. So
Speaker 21: we've been going with this punk rock rap movement that
Speaker 21: she created.
Speaker 6: Do you feel like you had your I made it moment?
Speaker 20: Yet I feel like I accomplished everything I said I
Speaker 20: was gonna do as a kid. But being here and
Speaker 20: seeing that like I accomplished those things, I still see
Speaker 20: that I have way further to go.
Speaker 7: So I don't think in my head that like I'm
Speaker 7: where exactly where I need to be.
Speaker 6: She's definitely gona write track, but I'm on the right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you definitely almost there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we got more with Nick Cannon and Klondyke Blam.
Speaker 2: When we come back, it's the Breakfast Come on, all right,
Speaker 2: welcome back.
Speaker 13: More than everybody, it's DJ env Charlamagne the guy we
Speaker 13: are the Breakfast Club is still kicking it with Nick
Speaker 13: Cannon and klondyke Blonde.
Speaker 2: Now we taped this in in You yesterday, so Chris
Speaker 2: Kayln was here Charlamagne. Why why did you just focus
Speaker 2: on music though?
Speaker 21: With future superstars, I think we're gonna I mean, that's
Speaker 21: just the first show that I wrote out.
Speaker 9: You will see a lot more stuff.
Speaker 21: I mean, obviously in the space of you know, comedy
Speaker 21: is where you know, we get off really well, and
Speaker 21: you know, platforms like wild'n out has birthed so many stars,
Speaker 21: So I don't I have that place where I can
Speaker 21: implement social media stars and even comedians and actors because
Speaker 21: wild'n out is going to continue to go and do
Speaker 21: do what it needs to do.
Speaker 5: So I feel like I have that lane.
Speaker 21: And again, part of the music thing for me was
Speaker 21: people didn't know that there's a lot of people like
Speaker 21: Nick Cannon does music.
Speaker 9: And then then so the fact that is like see
Speaker 9: this mother, not even just the word music like before
Speaker 9: I was rapper.
Speaker 10: Right now, music.
Speaker 9: This music is something every project, all of my successful projects,
Speaker 9: Charlotte Mane have music in them.
Speaker 2: And I'm a musical gospel song with Kim Burrell.
Speaker 9: With Kim Ky, I was lying.
Speaker 2: I just was like, you know what, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: do them like that.
Speaker 9: And I'm not even talking about I'm.
Speaker 21: So like mass singer America's got talent absolutely all music
Speaker 21: based stuff, wild'n out every like, and I say this
Speaker 21: all the time.
Speaker 9: I make all the music on wild'ing Out.
Speaker 21: But it's just like people just they see the aspect
Speaker 21: of like drum line, like everything, like everything that I
Speaker 21: do has a musical vibration to it.
Speaker 9: It's just that, you know, for whatever reason, because like this,
Speaker 9: the narrative is that I haven't been successful.
Speaker 2: Nothing to do with me.
Speaker 9: You're the corporate you. I only say rap. I don't
Speaker 9: feel just that music.
Speaker 21: You see how the comedian I take the rap the
Speaker 21: clip back like, but now it's like now now I'm
Speaker 21: not successful in music like people do those things though,
Speaker 21: But that's why that's the whole purpose.
Speaker 9: Of Future Superstar and itself.
Speaker 21: Like we joking, we're friends and shit like that, but
Speaker 21: it really is educating people to the space of like, Yo,
Speaker 21: I've been a music executive for over twenty years, but.
Speaker 2: Do you think you overworking? We know you had health
Speaker 2: issues before, yeah, but you it don't seem like you
Speaker 2: slow down. It seemed like that made you work harder.
Speaker 5: Like gave me more.
Speaker 21: I mean the clocks start ticking faster, like it gave
Speaker 21: me like yo, I really had to get serious in
Speaker 21: that sense of like yo, all right, let's it's bandwidth
Speaker 21: more than anything.
Speaker 5: It's like, all right, I got a lot to do.
Speaker 5: You know, God ain't done with me.
Speaker 21: He's he's blessed me with the opportunity to have gone
Speaker 21: through some real and now it's like all right, now,
Speaker 21: let's get your health together. Let's lock in and really
Speaker 21: focus and make the most of your time. So every
Speaker 21: day that I wake up healthy, it don't hurt. It's
Speaker 21: like I got to get to it. Like that's the
Speaker 21: blessing in itself. So do you really think like the
Speaker 21: hell yeah, especially like during that time it got dark,
Speaker 21: like during like you know, twenty twelve to even like
Speaker 21: twenty sixteen, cause I didn't know and I couldn't get
Speaker 21: this right. So every time I got one thing rightly,
Speaker 21: I get a blood clot here, a pulmonary embolism.
Speaker 9: I couldn't like my lungs.
Speaker 21: Like, So once I got to this space of like
Speaker 21: all right, I figured out, you know, how to stay
Speaker 21: healthy and how to stay alive, then it's like that's
Speaker 21: the constant reminder of like you gotta do something with this.
Speaker 5: You got to turn your pain into purpose and and
Speaker 5: for me that became.
Speaker 21: Helping others, like and you know, you go through this
Speaker 21: this spiritual transition of like, all the things that feed
Speaker 21: me are probably not the best for me. But when
Speaker 21: I'm feeding others, that's when I feel the healthiest. That's
Speaker 21: when I feel the drive to do so. Now I
Speaker 21: live in that space, I'm like, all right, what can
Speaker 21: I do to make the world a better place? What
Speaker 21: can I do to lend a hand to the next artist?
Speaker 21: And you know that's you know, that's that's that healthy
Speaker 21: journey for me to where it gives me that drive
Speaker 21: because I don't feel like I'm busy. I don't feel
Speaker 21: like I'm doing too much. I feel like, yo, this
Speaker 21: is this is my calling. This is where I'm supposed
Speaker 21: to go with it. So, you know, hopefully, however, anymore
Speaker 21: years I got left, was.
Speaker 2: That the reason you started having so many kids?
Speaker 9: People say that I don't know, like I if I,
Speaker 9: if I took the spiritual you might.
Speaker 2: Have said it in an interviewer joked around, Yeah, but.
Speaker 21: If I'm being serious, it wasn't like I set out
Speaker 21: to do it. It probably got to that space of
Speaker 21: like I value being a father, I value life. So
Speaker 21: I was I was never against the concept. And if
Speaker 21: we want to have deeper conversations about you know, like
Speaker 21: what I talk about in therapy and even as as men,
Speaker 21: it's like there are those times and we've been you know,
Speaker 21: I call it access to access. I have the ability
Speaker 21: to do my thing and bro and and a lot
Speaker 21: of others. Probably I could I could have stopped, you know,
Speaker 21: and and or even not had the children. But I
Speaker 21: was welcoming the idea of it and was never against it.
Speaker 21: People say, or people's opinions about me is none of
Speaker 21: my business. And and if anything, I take that that
Speaker 21: low frequency energy and shifted to where it's like all
Speaker 21: I keep talking because I'm doing the work.
Speaker 4: How you how are you women? In Christmas?
Speaker 12: It is it low frequency energy? If people say, Nick,
Speaker 12: why don't you wear conn?
Speaker 9: Who told you?
Speaker 5: I don't wear condom?
Speaker 9: You need the sue you use, the kind of you
Speaker 9: need your suit?
Speaker 2: How do you do it Christmas?
Speaker 21: I mean I joked, I say all I'm saying Nick
Speaker 21: and everything, But it's really structured in a way to
Speaker 21: where those I kind of take that week and turn
Speaker 21: it into Christmas week, you know, And and there is
Speaker 21: because I'm traveling and flying like I'm trying to be
Speaker 21: every everybody.
Speaker 5: And even Thanksgiving was the same way.
Speaker 21: I was in five six different Thanksgivings at the time
Speaker 21: because it's not it's my mom's house, because my grandmother says.
Speaker 4: Nobody said twenty minutes, thirty minutes.
Speaker 21: I mean dinner, y'all play spas I'm out to the
Speaker 21: next time do you eat?
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm telling everybody. You know, everybody cook different.
Speaker 9: So the last time you got my white baby mom,
Speaker 9: I'm not really eating pumpkin pies.
Speaker 5: One of your baby mom's breech.
Speaker 12: She said, how you juggle your twelve kids for the
Speaker 12: holidays is your problem, and.
Speaker 9: I don't see it as a problem. I think she
Speaker 9: was saying, like that's it is, but it's I don't.
Speaker 5: Involve her, like sheel like a baby Mom's gotta make
Speaker 5: it easy for you too, right, they.
Speaker 21: Do, and that's what I, like, I said, I give
Speaker 21: them credit to where like even in the process of
Speaker 21: like they say, this is what we want, and it's
Speaker 21: everything from Christmas pictures, the slid riding the pictures with
Speaker 21: saying that our experiences, like I make sure that every
Speaker 21: kid who wants to do something or we have certain
Speaker 21: things set up, we make time to go do it.
Speaker 9: So I'm all over the damn place. But it's fun.
Speaker 21: I mean, y'all see my ig, You see me, like
Speaker 21: we're having a ball. Like you know how much money
Speaker 21: I spend at Disneyland a year.
Speaker 5: We can imagine a lot. I got six.
Speaker 21: Crazy thing is because I used to host Christmas Morning
Speaker 21: at Disneyland, right, and so I used to get that
Speaker 21: Disney bag like it was like and it was there
Speaker 21: were perks, so all of that stuff was free.
Speaker 9: No longer for you, it's no longer free. And how
Speaker 9: we had two kids then.
Speaker 21: So like to be twelve and every birthday christ like
Speaker 21: I'm literally at Disneyland at least once a month, and
Speaker 21: to move around Disney like I probably I'm probably spending
Speaker 21: two hundred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 2: Cause you got pay for the chaperone you got.
Speaker 21: Didneyland is expensive a top, like if you're trying to
Speaker 21: stay in the hotel, and now it's it's not how
Speaker 21: it used to be, like you gotta make reservations and stuff.
Speaker 21: But so I spending two hundred thousand dollars a year
Speaker 21: at Disneyland.
Speaker 6: You need to give you, like a membership or something.
Speaker 9: I used to be an employeed. Like I I'm like, Mickey,
Speaker 9: can you can I get back in my job? That's
Speaker 9: what job?
Speaker 15: I need back.
Speaker 13: But there's any woman that you had a child with,
Speaker 13: did they feel like they were gonna stop you from
Speaker 13: doing it and you were gonna be the one?
Speaker 4: Did y'all ever have that.
Speaker 9: Conversation to them?
Speaker 21: I mean, the women in my life are so amazing
Speaker 21: that they are elevated in the sense that they never
Speaker 21: tried to change them. They knew what it was and
Speaker 21: it wasn't like it was just a process because all
Speaker 21: of them started off as true companions. And I look
Speaker 21: at them now, like those are the people I talked to,
Speaker 21: like that's my circle, That's who I That's who I
Speaker 21: go to when I'm having issues because the world a
Speaker 21: lot of times is against us. So like we gotta
Speaker 21: stick together in the sense of like I gotta protect
Speaker 21: them and they gotta protect me. Even not to generalize
Speaker 21: them as a group, but just individually, those are the
Speaker 21: people that I go to when I'm depressed, when I'm
Speaker 21: the relationship or not.
Speaker 2: All right, we got more with Nick Cannon, the Klondyke Blonde.
Speaker 13: When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 13: all right, welcome back. More than everybody. It's dej nv
Speaker 13: Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's still
Speaker 13: kicking it with Nick Cannon and Klondyke Blonde. Now we
Speaker 13: take the cit of you.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, so Chris Kaitlin was his and I got a question, Nick,
Speaker 2: want to get married? Do you look at you see that?
Speaker 4: Never again?
Speaker 9: Absolutely no. I mean because last time I got I
Speaker 9: used my words in correctly.
Speaker 21: Last time we was having conversation, i'd be forgetting the
Speaker 21: mixes on it, and I said it was a eurocentric concept.
Speaker 21: What I really meant is the colonial aspect of marriage.
Speaker 21: It's a business, and I've been in that business before.
Speaker 21: I don't want to be in that business no more.
Speaker 21: It's so much paperwork. I don't want the government to
Speaker 21: be involved with my love life. I shouldn't have to
Speaker 21: have a legal document or a contract to let someone
Speaker 21: know how much I care for them. Now I want
Speaker 21: to be their protector and that provider. It's kind of
Speaker 21: like the child support system. If you take care of
Speaker 21: your children, there's no need for paperwork. Because I want
Speaker 21: I want my kids to have everything that I own
Speaker 21: I want. I don't want them to go without at all.
Speaker 21: I want them to live an abundant life. So I
Speaker 21: don't need the government to tell me the minimum that
Speaker 21: I need to pay, because I'm gonna give them the maximum.
Speaker 9: So same thing with love and marriage.
Speaker 21: If I put you for life, I don't need to
Speaker 21: be binded by a contract or a ring. And therefore
Speaker 21: that's in the way those contracts are designed.
Speaker 9: That's from a Roman Catholicism approach of how we do it.
Speaker 21: There's ways to have unions and covenants and marriages through
Speaker 21: so many other philosophies and life specifically. You know in
Speaker 21: our African community from the diaspora, they do it differently,
Speaker 21: and you know, I'm learning and understanding those processes, but
Speaker 21: I know you go over to the continent, it ain't
Speaker 21: about contracts, it ain't about paperwork and rings. It's like, nah,
Speaker 21: this is my wife, this is my wife, and however
Speaker 21: that moves around. So the concept of the American society marriage,
Speaker 21: I'll never do that again. But who's to say I
Speaker 21: can't find a life partner that I'm a rock with.
Speaker 21: I'm wen't know, Like were in that state where It's like,
Speaker 21: by the time I'm in my sixties, I want to
Speaker 21: be on an island or the top of a mountain
Speaker 21: in Tibet somewhere with somebody I.
Speaker 9: Could rock with forever.
Speaker 2: So I'm living like cam A Lliles actually told me
Speaker 2: a long time ago.
Speaker 12: He said, I can't tell you to get married, but
Speaker 12: I can tell you you should always have somebody to
Speaker 12: share you experien.
Speaker 8: That.
Speaker 21: He you like that, I can see myself doing that.
Speaker 21: And then the fact that people like, aren't you worried
Speaker 21: about getting lonely, Like I got twelve kids, they never
Speaker 21: gonna be homeing somebody coming over, like.
Speaker 12: But even with that, that's scary too though, right because
Speaker 12: I read something where it said you spend seventy percent
Speaker 12: of all the time you're ever gonna spend with your
Speaker 12: kids between one and eighteen.
Speaker 2: That's when you.
Speaker 12: Think about it, that's probably true. Many times. You've probably
Speaker 12: seen your parents as you get it an become an
Speaker 12: adult and you're out in the world trying to pick
Speaker 12: things out.
Speaker 21: And then even when you think about like the time
Speaker 21: that they spend at school and sports and stuff like that,
Speaker 21: there's other people with your children throughout the day more
Speaker 21: than you are, and I'm learning that too, because I'm
Speaker 21: trying to be present at all of these games, and
Speaker 21: you know, I'm picking them up from school and knowing
Speaker 21: the teachers and spending time at the recitals, and it's like,
Speaker 21: I want them to at least see my presence there
Speaker 21: because I know there's gonna be a time where I'm
Speaker 21: on a film set for two months. There's gonna be
Speaker 21: time where I'm on tour over here. So I want
Speaker 21: them to see me every free time that I can.
Speaker 21: Because when you think about the person with the average person,
Speaker 21: one are nine to five from eight am to three
Speaker 21: of them, they are under the supervision of a completely
Speaker 21: different adult.
Speaker 9: And then even by the time you get get to
Speaker 9: where you tired, they tired.
Speaker 21: You might get to see your kids what from six
Speaker 21: to eight and then y'all sleep and then again like
Speaker 21: so like the average because with my with my therapist,
Speaker 21: we've done the the math on it. The average time
Speaker 21: that a parent spends with their kids a day is
Speaker 21: less than three hours. And then when you think about
Speaker 21: like that's why weekends are so important, that's why vacations
Speaker 21: are so important, because that's when they really get to
Speaker 21: know you, and that's when you really get to it's all.
Speaker 21: It's about the qualitative approach, and it's really about creating
Speaker 21: as many core memories in that amount of time that
Speaker 21: you possibly.
Speaker 12: Your therapist talks about average parent, you ain't talking about you, right, no, because.
Speaker 2: Clearly, but that's what to me.
Speaker 9: I'm trying to go above and beyond.
Speaker 21: When it comes to that that parenting aspect, because I'm
Speaker 21: trying to create the best core memories as possible. Because
Speaker 21: core memories can be in a positive light or in
Speaker 21: a negative light. So you know, I don't ever and
Speaker 21: that that's all about keeping your word. That's all about
Speaker 21: managing expectations, because if I tell my kids something, I'm
Speaker 21: gonna make sure I do it. And and you know,
Speaker 21: obviously I have a strong support team that helped me
Speaker 21: accomplish a lot of that. But again, you know, is
Speaker 21: as important as it is to sit back and analyze
Speaker 21: these things through therapy.
Speaker 9: Uh And I mean you know this very well.
Speaker 2: It's like you're.
Speaker 21: Constantly trying to grow. You're constantly trying to figure out
Speaker 21: how can I be a better dad? And considering the circumstance, I.
Speaker 2: Saw the mask Guttie Murphy too. To give you some advice.
Speaker 5: Did you see that?
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 9: I was waiting for the advice.

Speaker 5: Staying with me?
Speaker 12: People, they're crazy as people in America come from the
Speaker 12: Bronx and all of Florida, and today's donkey of today
Speaker 12: is no different. Now, I don't know if this man's
Speaker 12: name is actually Kevin, but that's what he said his
Speaker 12: name was, and I don't know if that's really his name,
Speaker 12: because this man made some other claims that make me.
Speaker 2: Feel like I don't know if we could believe anything
Speaker 2: that comes out of his mouth.
Speaker 12: And because this man is just running around saying things
Speaker 12: that we don't know if we can believe, we the
Speaker 12: people need to get this man off the street and
Speaker 12: get him some help. And now I know it's just
Speaker 12: saying I know, it's just saying, Charlamagne. Since when do
Speaker 12: you want to get people from Florida some help? Well,
Speaker 12: that should let you know the severity of the level
Speaker 12: of donkey we are dealing with. Would you like to
Speaker 12: know what Kevin's claims were let's go to NBC two
Speaker 12: for the report.
Speaker 16: Please here at the McCastle in household on Shadowy Road,
Speaker 16: it was all but a typical Thursday evening.
Speaker 22: We were eating dinner with myself and my two daughters,
Speaker 22: and we heard.
Speaker 15: A noise at the door.
Speaker 16: Oh but nobody was knocking. Instead, this random man was
Speaker 16: inviting himself in for a bite to eat. Brian got
Speaker 16: up from the table and found this guy standing right
Speaker 16: in his living room.
Speaker 5: It was in he was in the house.
Speaker 22: He started telling me that he was a ghost and
Speaker 22: that I shouldn't be able to see him.
Speaker 9: That's right, this guy thought he was a ghost.
Speaker 22: He was shocked that I could seem him, thought he
Speaker 22: was walking around and that nobody could see.
Speaker 16: Brian is barely able to believe what he's seeing.
Speaker 22: I could tell his behavior was not normal. Who knows
Speaker 22: what this person might do, you know, if they had
Speaker 22: a chance to think.
Speaker 16: After causing this scene inside, this guy who claims his
Speaker 16: name is Kevin, came running outside to where a crew
Speaker 16: was cutting down a tree. He hopped up in one
Speaker 16: of their trucks and locked himself inside. So at this point,
Speaker 16: this man barged into Brian's home. He thinks he's a ghost,
Speaker 16: and now he's locked inside a tree cruise truck.
Speaker 5: I think it's all wild.
Speaker 16: After coaxing the man for a while, the tree trimmers
Speaker 16: were finally able to get him out, where he then
Speaker 16: took off wearing nothing but his bathing suit.
Speaker 12: Let me tell you something, man, If you come to
Speaker 12: my house with a bathing suit, no shoes or anything
Speaker 12: else on, and I'm in there eating with my daughters
Speaker 12: and you are advancing into my house, you get into
Speaker 12: my house and you claim to be a ghost, I
Speaker 12: promise I'm gonna make your claim come true.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 12: You may not have been a ghost when you entered,
Speaker 12: but you shall be a ghost when you leave. Okay,
Speaker 12: if you die, slow my full fourth, make sure all
Speaker 12: your kids don't grow. Look, man, here's the thing I know.
Speaker 12: This man is probably dealing with some form of mental illness.
Speaker 12: Within that moment when someone invades the peace that is
Speaker 12: your house, you in there with your kid is the
Speaker 12: first law of nature is self preservation.
Speaker 2: I gotta protect me in mind.
Speaker 12: And at this point I don't know what your angle is,
Speaker 12: but if you're coming in talking about you a ghost,
Speaker 12: I don't have no choice but to defend myself because
Speaker 12: you might be trying to make me one.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know if you're a friendly ghost or
Speaker 2: a demon. We don't know.
Speaker 12: If you cast for a Freddy Krueger slim Off and
Speaker 12: Marion Morgan from The Ring. You're breaking somebody's house talking
Speaker 12: about you a ghost, then you deserve to get sent
Speaker 12: to your makeup and becoming the ghost of Christmas past.
Speaker 12: They said he was wearing nothing but a bathing suit,
Speaker 12: no shoes or anything else. You know, another way to
Speaker 12: look at it. That's not a ghost, that's a crackhead. Okay,
Speaker 12: maybe Matho all right, maybe bath salts, maybe finty beauty
Speaker 12: by fifty I mean fentonyl All I'm saying is I
Speaker 12: know drug head behavior when I hear it. This man
Speaker 12: was feeling for a hit, so he was doing what
Speaker 12: drugheads do, breaking and entering and stealing stuff looking to
Speaker 12: make money to get it next hit. See what happened
Speaker 12: is he didn't expect for these people to be home.
Speaker 12: And I have to commend the father here because he
Speaker 12: knows rule number one when dealing with a full blown crackhead.
Speaker 2: Okay, you must remain.
Speaker 10: Calm, all right.
Speaker 12: It's like if you saw a bear or ladies, when
Speaker 12: you see that guy you left on read Claudia, you
Speaker 12: can you understand that, right, you just just remain calm.
Speaker 12: But the moment Kevin realized he wasn't invisible and could
Speaker 12: be seen, that's when he knew maybe, just maybe, he
Speaker 12: probably was still high.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, this man was.
Speaker 12: Clearly still under the influence, because whenever I'm high, you
Speaker 12: can't tell me I don't have superpowers like invisibility or
Speaker 12: mind reading.
Speaker 2: But that's a whole other topic.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 2: I agree that we need to find this man some help, right,
Speaker 2: but first we have to find him.
Speaker 12: So they are asking if you have any information that
Speaker 12: might help investigate us, you can submit an anonymous tip
Speaker 12: that SWFL crime stoppers are call one eight hundred seven
Speaker 12: eight old tips. But I am a person who loves
Speaker 12: to see things from both sides, and I've lived long
Speaker 12: enough to know to always be skeptical. But listen, so
Speaker 12: Kevin says he's a ghost, I take a step back.
Speaker 12: I think to myself, what if we are the ones trip?
Speaker 12: What if he's not a crackhead and he is indeed
Speaker 12: a ghost?
Speaker 2: Who you gonna call.
Speaker 9: Something strange.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. Who you gonna call?
Speaker 10: That's right?
Speaker 7: Maybe he identifies as a ghost.
Speaker 2: Maybe he identifies as a ghost. Right, that's right?
Speaker 12: Or what you're absolutely right? Please give this man who
Speaker 12: identifies as a ghost, Kevin the big as he Hull
Speaker 12: all right, and we can't deny him if he wants
Speaker 12: to identify as a ghost. Who are we to say
Speaker 12: he can't be a ghost?
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a good question. Crazy, that's a
Speaker 2: good question. Well, thank you for that. Donkey of the day.

Speaker 3: I was a teenage started off working in the kitchen,
Speaker 3: washing dishes in the pantry. Next thing, you know, a
Speaker 3: guy by the name of Lewis. He was the main
Speaker 3: chef there. And this place was like a to me,
Speaker 3: it was like a Michelin Star restaurant. A lot of
Speaker 3: rich people go there, but it wasn't. They wasn't giving
Speaker 3: out Michelin Stars at that time. But if they was,
Speaker 3: that definitely would have been it because dude taught me

Speaker 12: Instagram and seeing you cook. So your family come from
Speaker 12: a family of cooks and you worked in the restaurant.
Speaker 4: Absolutely wow.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you surprised with the receptiveness that you get from
Speaker 13: the cookie because I almost seemed like it, like I
Speaker 13: see more people loving more the cooking than.
Speaker 2: Some of the music at times.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know people people love music, and but they
Speaker 3: love food more than music. I think, period, don't you think?
Speaker 3: So when you wake up in the morning, you're trying
Speaker 3: to hear music how you want to eat kind.
Speaker 5: Of both, you know, yeah, you kind yeah, it kind
Speaker 5: of go hand in hand a little bit.
Speaker 3: So you know, so in twenty fourteen, I got a
Speaker 3: power pressure cooking, So that's when I started making all
Speaker 3: the all the meals and stuff like that. And then
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, me and be Legit got
Speaker 3: a song. Beler just said the goon with the spoon.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, And we said on a
Speaker 3: couple of songs and whatnot, and I was like, you
Speaker 3: know what I started. I started hashtagging gooon with the spoon,
Speaker 3: and then I told my boy cousin Feet to have
Speaker 3: his guy go make the logo.
Speaker 4: So he went and made the logo. And so I
Speaker 4: feel like, you know how.
Speaker 3: You got McDonald's, and you got RB's, and you got
Speaker 3: Jack in the Box and so on and so forth.
Speaker 3: You know those logos they subliminately in your head. That's
Speaker 3: what I want to do. When I got the vector,
Speaker 3: I put the vector on the on every post that
Speaker 3: I did, when I made the when I did the cooking,
Speaker 3: so you would always see gooon with the spoon down
Speaker 3: at the bottom right hand corner. And so I knew
Speaker 3: what I was doing because I knew I was finna
Speaker 3: go into co packing. So now the gooon with the
Speaker 3: spoon is just not just me just on Instagram. I'm
Speaker 3: a it's a brand, like I co packed. Like I
Speaker 3: got going with the spoon, ice cream, six different flavors,

Speaker 3: and I was like, you know, it's only right. You know,
Speaker 3: I don't have no pride problem. You know that's the
Speaker 3: problem with people. They got Priday. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: put your pride to the sides, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'm like, we're better person to let you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Put it out on the platform. It's everywhere now.
Speaker 3: So it's out now the gun with the spawn.
Speaker 2: And going with the spot. You weren't be Legit wasn't
Speaker 2: talking about cookie.
Speaker 4: It's a double untiondre.
Speaker 2: But it's a good way to turn a soul called
Speaker 2: negative into a positive.
Speaker 4: So check games.
Speaker 3: So I feel like, you know how when you play basketball,
Speaker 3: a lot of people like say like say, for instance,
Speaker 3: we got when we got McCaffrey on our team of
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers, my cousin had Dallas cowboy boy fans.
Speaker 3: Yeah he was for real, you think so? And he
Speaker 3: was like, you know, we talked big Bronco to each other,
Speaker 3: and I ain't talking about Denver Broncles.
Speaker 4: That's just a phrase I said.
Speaker 3: And he was like, I ain't gonna lie care for
Speaker 3: your dog, right so that the dog is not a
Speaker 3: dog in a bad way. It's like you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like that's just like being a beast. So
Speaker 3: you know why can't be a goon with a.
Speaker 4: Spoon cut tract.
Speaker 13: Yeah that's right now that you did mention basketball, can
Speaker 13: we tell Warriors a little bit? You Warriors, Draymond Green,
Speaker 13: just just you know, grab the poor light skinned brother,
Speaker 13: out his damnit, out his shoes.
Speaker 4: Man, what you want me to say? What you want?
Speaker 10: You're talking to me?
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not feeling to go against Draymond.
Speaker 3: First and foremost, he's shopping in a porcupine spine and
Speaker 3: he observes everything. And most of the time when he
Speaker 3: said we run rewind the tape, yes, when they called
Speaker 3: some bad stuff.
Speaker 4: On him, he right most of the time.
Speaker 3: So I'm just rocking with Draymond because when he when
Speaker 3: he reacts on something, I take his opinion.
Speaker 4: I know I'm rocking with Raymond.
Speaker 2: He's realm and he should. That was my favorite NBA.
Speaker 4: Player And nobody do nothing to none of his team
Speaker 4: especially and stuff.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, and you don't win championships without a Dramonday protective
Speaker 12: because because it was Roman Rodman was a fool with it.
Speaker 4: Was He was a fool, they was. They was with it.
Speaker 2: You needed for the Pistons back there, they were fools
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

Speaker 12: your twenty seventh solo album, Ruler Thumb.
Speaker 3: But you know we can't way more than that. I
Speaker 3: don't know why to keep putting twenty more than that.
Speaker 3: You're thirty thirty something, Damn Jesus, because you got to
Speaker 3: put my EPs up in that thing, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Yeah, my solo epiece, Mister Flamboyan came out
Speaker 3: in eight, nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 5: Do you count the compilations too, Like, no, no compilation.
Speaker 3: I ain't even count the compilations or the albums with
Speaker 3: the click. Yeah, I've been doing this since uh Comra
Speaker 3: Defraud was a probably.
Speaker 12: But you know, a couple of weeks ago November November ninth,
Speaker 12: nineteen ninety three, Federal album Drop.
Speaker 3: It really was nineteen ninety two. We used to play
Speaker 3: it up a year because we was in the we.
Speaker 3: When you say when we, when you talk about independent,
Speaker 3: we was the real independent. Like yeah, Stanley, I'm talking
Speaker 3: about using City Hall Records as our main hub, and
Speaker 3: UH music people, we didn't have a big distribution deal,
Speaker 3: you know, until like ninety four when Jive Records and
Speaker 3: every label that that did rap music, they had a
Speaker 3: big bid and wore on me, and uh they wanted
Speaker 3: you know, they wanted me stick with It Records, they
Speaker 3: wanted us, you know, and Uh, I went ahead and
Speaker 3: went with job. But now they put the We used
Speaker 3: to always put it up a year because it would
Speaker 3: take some time to get to other states. And when
Speaker 3: it did get to other states, we wanted to soak in.
Speaker 3: We didn't want them to think the album, the album
Speaker 3: or the EP is old.
Speaker 4: It's just our method.
Speaker 3: My uncle Saint Charles, I'm sure y'all heard me speak
Speaker 3: of Uncle Saint Charles. That's my mother's brother blood so
Speaker 3: you know, everybody say uncle, this uncle, that's my that's
Speaker 3: my bloodline. And he, you know, helped you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Uh, the Boy and Master P and many
Speaker 3: of us. You know what I mean from the beginning,
Speaker 3: because Master P used to be out there with us
Speaker 3: in the Bay Area in Richmond, California. So PC and
Speaker 3: how I was doing it, he was doing his thing too,
Speaker 3: but he wasn't doing it on the level that he
Speaker 3: was doing it when he once he got to with
Speaker 3: Saint Charles and then he just took it to big heights.
Speaker 3: So it's been and that's my brother right now to
Speaker 3: this day.
Speaker 2: So it's been thirty one years since Federal.
Speaker 4: Then not that.
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety two, Dang came in And what does
Speaker 2: your mind go when you think about that?
Speaker 3: It was gonna start off as an EP because that's
Speaker 3: what we was doing when you do solo stuff back then.
Speaker 3: It was and I just have too much gas, and uh,
Speaker 3: I was like, man, let me, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Let me just go in and ask the more songs

Speaker 4: Good morning, the breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Everybody, EJ N G.
Speaker 13: Charlamage the guy We all the breakfast club now, charlamone,
Speaker 13: you got a positive?
Speaker 12: No positive notice simply this man, Be careful what you
Speaker 12: wish for others, because it just might get to you.
Speaker 12: All right, to wish bad things for somebody else is
Speaker 12: actually like looking for something bad to happen to you,
Speaker 12: because when you wish bad karm on somebody else, you
Speaker 12: bring bad karm on yourself. Okay, you are consuming and
Speaker 12: bringing in negative vibes into your life. Instead, be the
Speaker 12: person you wish they were. Be the person who brings
Speaker 12: only positive thoughts and good vibes into their own life,
Speaker 12: because being negative yourself will only bring negative into your
Speaker 12: life don't poison yourself hoping somebody else will die.
Speaker 9: All right, breakfast club bitches, You y'all finish or y'all done.
