Speaker 1: free and then everything else costs money, and kids can
Speaker 1: afford to go to schools. They don't go to school.
Speaker 1: They just work grounds. And I figure out, you know,
Speaker 1: and let me building my school for free. So I've
Speaker 1: been looking for a house for three years and this
Speaker 1: house was like so beautiful, Like I saw it online,
Speaker 1: I didn't see it in person. You know, prices decent. No,
Speaker 1: Hi fa Africa. I'm in love with his house. It's
Speaker 1: gotta be something. It's something about it I'm not gonna like.
Speaker 1: And I got there and I'm like, I knew it.
Speaker 1: It was where it was, you know it was. It's
Speaker 1: a new developing area, so he's not completely finished yet,
Speaker 1: but when the area is finished, it's gonna be worth
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. At first, I didn't want it because
Speaker 1: I didn't I wasn't comfortable with that. But I say,
Speaker 1: you know what, this is where I came from. You know,
Speaker 1: these kids are going to be one to keep an
Speaker 1: eye in my house because I'm barely gonna be there.
Speaker 1: And I didn't have a problem with that. But eventually
Speaker 1: they're gonna pay those people to, you know, to move out,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna build more houses in the area, so
Speaker 1: you gentrify the whole neighborhood. I'm neifizing it. I got
Speaker 1: a property and gum he did. Yeah, it's on the beach.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I heard about shut up, you ain't
Speaker 1: hitting nothing anything. So how the podcast going? Man, mother sucker?
Speaker 1: You know what Chinese best friend is? Niggah. I don't
Speaker 1: see with him no more. I've been I've been on
Speaker 1: the road a lot, and his lady won't let him
Speaker 1: go anywhere because you no, no, he just you know,
Speaker 1: if I was here, I wouldn't let him go anywhere.
Speaker 1: I was wrong with me. Yeah, it's you'd be around
Speaker 1: too many women. She's probably like no. I mean he
Speaker 1: most of the time he invites the women and then
Speaker 1: he no sitching on. He's not listening to this girl.
Speaker 1: Might be she's from Hungry Man Dad serious, anything about it.
Speaker 1: I'm not even the type of this My guy, like,
Speaker 1: you know, from day one, since the day he got drafted.
Speaker 1: I remember when I ran into him on South Street
Speaker 1: in Philly, He's like who he recognized music. We took
Speaker 1: a picture together. He's like telling me a joke. I
Speaker 1: said the sixes because at that time we saw you know,
Speaker 1: he's still laugh at that joke to today. And then
Speaker 1: we became cool with the Eagles game together with you know,
Speaker 1: even sometimes when they travel and go out of town.
Speaker 1: I'll go to games. You know, he hooked me up whatever.
Speaker 1: But then I remember, um, he initially be met with
Speaker 1: me the first time. It was um, it was a
Speaker 1: Miami game. It was doing Super Bowl weekend. He was with, Uh,
Speaker 1: what's the family that people's lives that he's with one
Speaker 1: of those his daughters. Yeah, he was a candole or something.
Speaker 1: And then I introduced him to Rider his it's my
Speaker 1: girl Rider and then I'm when we got back to
Speaker 1: the hotel, Riders like I think he was in my DM,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I said, you know what he's he's seen
Speaker 1: me and I drew a bunch of checks. He probably
Speaker 1: just didn't even want to one of the bitches. I
Speaker 1: just be with, you know, excuse my language. Um so
Speaker 1: because she looked at me funny, I'd been get funny
Speaker 1: to talk. He's saying some girls on my page, he
Speaker 1: hate Mike. Who's this girl hooked me up? And I've
Speaker 1: done that, Ben Simms, Yes, OK, been so so I
Speaker 1: have hooked him up. And I was like, I said, listen,
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of checks in my in my page.
Speaker 1: He probably just think one of them that I just
Speaker 1: you know, then do me nothing, tell me, so don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. A week or two went back, she said,
Speaker 1: he's my dm be game. And then he's on my
Speaker 1: snapchat and he was holly and had you know, he's
Speaker 1: talking about, hey, you know you want this whatever something
Speaker 1: like that. So Dan I had, you know, I had
Speaker 1: a proble. I never even pushed my body. I just
Speaker 1: lost a respect for him because you know, I tell
Speaker 1: you my girl he was hat. That ain't the first one.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you lost your girl to like a more richard,
Speaker 1: most celebrity. The thing might I have a really loyal woman,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I don't worry about anything. What
Speaker 1: about when y'all were on a break right you guys
Speaker 1: had a little brief break up, didn't you We have
Speaker 1: we had a couple of break up. But she's she's
Speaker 1: that lawyer that she's not the type that would go
Speaker 1: and want to any of my friends, I mean together.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just saying this is one about two
Speaker 1: and a half years. I mean, I'm just I'm sure
Speaker 1: she is trustworthy. But how do you know for sure
Speaker 1: she's trustworthy? You know you can feel it, man, I
Speaker 1: know I know a hole one, I'm with one. I've
Speaker 1: been with a lot of holes. Now, she had a
Speaker 1: problem with your lifestyle, but y'all squashed that out at
Speaker 1: what time? I mean we've we've negotiated, you know, what
Speaker 1: does that mean? You mean? I mean I'm cutting down
Speaker 1: on the site pitch just from you know, from three
Speaker 1: a month to maybe one. We negotiate that I'm allowed
Speaker 1: to have one chick per month. Okay, only one day permo.
Speaker 1: If you're allowed to do what you want to, well,
Speaker 1: now one day, I mean, like you know, one person
Speaker 1: from that's riskier because then it's only one other person.
Speaker 1: You might get more feelings. There's no ship I mean
Speaker 1: as opposed to like multiple if you with one woman?
Speaker 1: So can she have one a month? She any woman
Speaker 1: you want? Yes? What about women are not built for that?
Speaker 1: You can't be taking two three ladies? Explain, Mike, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? Because women are more emotional? You know
Speaker 1: you have things you guys are kind of emotional. I'm
Speaker 1: not emotional. You just got an emotional over Ban Simmons. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: because I thought you's my friend. I'm not disappointed in him, R.
Speaker 1: It's more disappointment, you know. I think was a light
Speaker 1: skinn thing, but you like skinning you cool. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: he didn't. Maybe he's seen you with other women before him,
Speaker 1: Like man, Mike, don't care. One realized when he I mean,
Speaker 1: this is like two months ago. Now you know for
Speaker 1: a fact it's chick morral. Yeah, you should know. He knew.
Speaker 1: There's what happens if you see him now, probably you
Speaker 1: ain't gonna do that, not but he, I mean, band
Speaker 1: is going through enough trying and step get trying to
Speaker 1: shoot the shot that shoot free throws. He got a
Speaker 1: whole lot of others to work about. You know what
Speaker 1: team's gonna play for. I don't get traded to the
Speaker 1: Shanghai Shocks. Okay, I don't even care anymore now, I
Speaker 1: mean I bet I'm not. He got bigger problems now.
Speaker 1: You know, it just humbles you. Sometimes you need something
Speaker 1: to humble you. He just thought he's on top of
Speaker 1: the word, you know, because these guys get one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty something million dollars and anything. He could just
Speaker 1: do whatever and dispect and do anything you want, and
Speaker 1: now God would bring you damn down. All right, we
Speaker 1: got more with Michael Blackson when we come back. Don't move.
Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody is DJ Envy
Speaker 1: Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we all to Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: was still kicking it with Michael Blackson yee. Do you
Speaker 1: think couples Retreat helped your relationship? Yeah? Helped me pay
Speaker 1: some bills in COVID when when I wasn't working, and
Speaker 1: you know, but overall I think it did you know,
Speaker 1: it made me understand her a little bit more, get
Speaker 1: to get into our feelings a little bit more, because
Speaker 1: I'm more like African man, like you know, everything's gonna
Speaker 1: be a kid just just I'm just These women don't
Speaker 1: mean nothing to me. You know, you mean a whole
Speaker 1: word to me. You know, But ain't she like want to?
Speaker 1: Like I mean, don't get it wrong. We've had fun.
Speaker 1: She's been with some of these girls as well. This
Speaker 1: is just not me being a thought by myself. We've
Speaker 1: had three something four something? Did she want to when
Speaker 1: she was doing it? Because you want later on she
Speaker 1: told me she know Mike out what he's doing this for? You? Wow?
Speaker 1: Did you feel bad? So we didn't? Do you feel bad? No?
Speaker 1: I didn't. I mean my thing is I just I
Speaker 1: realized that it just in me to live that life.
Speaker 1: And I mean, and I realized that after I broke
Speaker 1: up with my ass, like when I was free and
Speaker 1: doing what I wanted to do and I had a
Speaker 1: bunch of female friends sleeping all of them all at
Speaker 1: one time, altogether whatever, that I realized that was my life.
Speaker 1: And when she came in, that's what she saw and
Speaker 1: she figured how she could come and probably eventually tamed
Speaker 1: me down. And it didn't work like she plays. It
Speaker 1: feels like you have your wall up, maybe like you're
Speaker 1: not allowing you're not allowing yourself to love. No, I
Speaker 1: do love, I know that, but I'm saying it could
Speaker 1: be you say, he gotta relax, like when you got
Speaker 1: to ask, you gotta just relax. That was twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: But it feels like all these women might be a
Speaker 1: reason for you to not give your all to one person. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I really feel Rader is the one. Okay really, when
Speaker 1: you say to one, what do you mean, Mike married,
Speaker 1: introduced to your mother, She didn't mean my mother. She
Speaker 1: went to Africa to meet my mother. That's great. I
Speaker 1: feel she's only because you know she's got I never
Speaker 1: had a one Wan to have my back like she's loving.
Speaker 1: No one never wanted anything. So do you feel like
Speaker 1: you sacrifice enough for her? Because it feels like she
Speaker 1: sacrifices a lot to be with you. She do, That's
Speaker 1: why this sacrifice and I cut down to one bit
Speaker 1: your mother all right, Well, if you guys are okay,
Speaker 1: I can't judge anybody else. Get she's okay with it.
Speaker 1: She want I mean, don't get anyone. She wants some
Speaker 1: kind of like commitment because she feels like she's looking stupid,
Speaker 1: like you know, Mike, she feels like, you know you
Speaker 1: you replace me any that, Like she want to feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit more special. Would you get married?
Speaker 1: Marriage to me is very religious, very spiritual, you know,
Speaker 1: because when you get married, you put God into this
Speaker 1: relationship without guy being in there. I feel like I
Speaker 1: could just do whatever I want once you put God
Speaker 1: in there. You're crazy. You're laughing at my funniest hell,
Speaker 1: I ain't. God ain't with us right now? Is always
Speaker 1: I understand that, but he's not in the relationship. Yes,
Speaker 1: what about I said, no more side bitches at all,
Speaker 1: not even one. My whole thing. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be lying because a lot of my whole life. I
Speaker 1: was going a lie to everybody. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Might starts still fun though, Mike put a bunch of
Speaker 1: other women. Yes, really fly We everything we've done in
Speaker 1: our life, we do it for women. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: got a nice carck is one point. Bitch in the car.
Speaker 1: You gotta night house. You want to bring up printing
Speaker 1: house and fun the house you have wet knights close
Speaker 1: to the girls, like dad, that's a little night of me. Come,
Speaker 1: everything's for sex sex sex You said that. Look let
Speaker 1: me No, I'm just saying, Oh, I like pouring in
Speaker 1: the one woman though, like I like being a faithful
Speaker 1: You've been faith for your whole life. No, but I've
Speaker 1: been super faithful. The pass she's married. She cheating on
Speaker 1: your wife. I got married twenty fourteen. Okay, you cheated
Speaker 1: when I cheated for the first two years about God
Speaker 1: was not you see God? But that's why. But that's
Speaker 1: why I stopped. I stopped because number one, I want
Speaker 1: to do right by God and I want to do
Speaker 1: right by my wife. So he's not married. As his
Speaker 1: point right, we're not married, so I'm not married. God
Speaker 1: is nine You no party? Once I put God in
Speaker 1: it then I can't not do it again. But you can't.
Speaker 1: But you gotta stop those habits now though. You gotta
Speaker 1: be ready. I'm probably gonna get married January thirty second,
Speaker 1: twenty thirty nine. How your kids, kids are good? My

Speaker 1: other way. It's gonna cost you a whole bunch of money.

Speaker 1: me over fifty thousand dollars. Ready, just fighting. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this money go towards these kids college situation, you know.

Speaker 1: And we got into a quick discussion about how you

Speaker 1: gap between the halves and have notch is wider than
Speaker 1: it's ever been in these two individuals, William and Rochelle
Speaker 1: definitely fall into the haven category. I really don't think
Speaker 1: y'all appreciate your blessings enough. People out here starving. It's
Speaker 1: hard to see that sometime when you personally live a
Speaker 1: certain lifestyle, but people are out here hurting, not knowing
Speaker 1: what their next meal is coming from, and when your
Speaker 1: ribs is touching like that, everybody food, everybody's a lick. Okay.
Speaker 1: People wondering why violent crime is up all across the country,
Speaker 1: it's because people need money. People need cash, and they're
Speaker 1: gonna get that dough by any means necessary. Hell, the
Speaker 1: great Black philosopher Sean Carter one stag broke is don't
Speaker 1: want no cash, They just want to kill you. That
Speaker 1: is true too, because people are hurt. People in paint.
Speaker 1: People got traumas, traumas they haven't dealt with, and they
Speaker 1: end up projecting that hurting that trauma on to us.
Speaker 1: It's okay, that's where a lot of the violence stems from.
Speaker 1: In the case of women Rochelle, that's what it feels
Speaker 1: like to me. See women Rochelle have been arrested and

Speaker 1: Rochelle Conbre were arrested this morning and charged with aggravated robbery.
Speaker 1: When officers spoke to the victim, she said she had
Speaker 1: been paper sprayed and robbed. During a confrontation with the victim,
Speaker 1: Conbre took out paper spray from a per Henderson then
Speaker 1: took that from combray and sprayed the victim in the face.
Speaker 1: The pair then took mannaise, potato chips, and a portable
Speaker 1: fan from the victim and left the scene. The victim
Speaker 1: told police the names of the suspects, and officers found
Speaker 1: them about fifteen minutes later in the one thousand block
Speaker 1: of Holiday Street with the victims property and the pepper stray. Now,
Speaker 1: according to a law firm in Texas called Luster Law,
Speaker 1: aggravated robbery without any criminal history can get you a
Speaker 1: sentence in Texas. Ranger from a minimum of five years
Speaker 1: to ninety nine years our life in prison. Think about that,
Speaker 1: William and Rochelle took a penitentiary chance of epic proportions
Speaker 1: for some potato chips, a portable fan, and some mannaise.
Speaker 1: We don't even know what kind of Manids was it,
Speaker 1: Helmand's Dukes Hines. I mean, it's not like normal kind
Speaker 1: of Mannaids justifies anything they did. But if they went
Speaker 1: to jail for some star brand Mannaids, it just makes
Speaker 1: this heat hit harder. Now, look, I scribe did not
Speaker 1: judge people for what they do when they are in
Speaker 1: survival mode, but can you imagine getting five years in prison,
Speaker 1: possibly ninety nine years in prison because you stole potato chips, mayonnaise,
Speaker 1: and a portable fan from a woman in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: What kind of potato chips were they? Kettle C Salton Vinegar,
Speaker 1: Miss Vicky C Salton, vinegar, Cool Ranch, Doritos, Chili Chiefs, Fritos.
Speaker 1: I mean, those my favorite chips. Not that it matters,
Speaker 1: that justifies what they did based on the brand of
Speaker 1: potato chips. Inquiring minds like myself would just like to
Speaker 1: know because I'm always intrigued by how the human brain
Speaker 1: works and what moves people that make these kind of choices. Now,
Speaker 1: the portable fan of self explanatory. I was looking at
Speaker 1: the temperature this week in Wichita Falls. They got hides
Speaker 1: of one hundred and three with over eighty percent humidity.
Speaker 1: Totally understand why you would take the portable fan. Don't
Speaker 1: need to explain that one, But I do want to
Speaker 1: know when people do things like this, are they aware
Speaker 1: of the consequences of their actions. Because if you have
Speaker 1: to rob someone for a portable fan, some potato chips
Speaker 1: and some mayonnaise, then you don't have money for a
Speaker 1: paid attorney. You just don't. They're gonna give you a
Speaker 1: public defender, and the public defender is going to do
Speaker 1: their job, and they probably gonna do a good job.
Speaker 1: But you're still going to prison. And I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now, last thing you want to hear when you're
Speaker 1: in a prison shower is I bet you can't eat
Speaker 1: just one. Okay, A bunch of people in prison trying
Speaker 1: to get you to re enacted to Rito's fingerlicking commercial.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody got time fall that. The marl of the
Speaker 1: story is, don't make a permanent decision based on temporary emotions. Okay,
Speaker 1: that woman, y'all, Pepper sprayed. That woman in that wheelchair,
Speaker 1: y'all Pepper sprayed and robbed. It's traumatized. She's gonna have
Speaker 1: to do a lot of work to move that trauma
Speaker 1: through everybody. And William and Rochelle, y'all going to prison.
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's the minimum of five years
Speaker 1: or the maximum of ninety nine years are somewhere in between.
Speaker 1: You're going to prison for a permanent period of time
Speaker 1: based off temporary feelings and circumstances. Now, I don't have
Speaker 1: anything much to stay here except now it's time to
Speaker 1: play a game of Jess. What race it? All? Right?
Speaker 1: Which tall falls Texas? William is twenty, Rochelle is thirty four.
Speaker 1: That Pepper sprayed a woman in a wheelchair and robbed
Speaker 1: her for potato chips, a portable fan, and man Aid's angela. Yee, jess,
Speaker 1: what racing? Ay? Let's start with William because it is
Speaker 1: two people Caucasian. You think they're both Caucasians? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: say that with a without a shadow of a doubt,
Speaker 1: no doubt. Why just from the whole description, and are
Speaker 1: there a lot of black people in with you, Tar,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure about that, but okay, okay.
Speaker 1: And the mayonnaise, all right, mayonnaise is really it's really
Speaker 1: a dead giveaway, uh dj NV White what you think
Speaker 1: both of them women in Rochelle, yes, what gave it away? Mann? Well,
Speaker 1: I would have to say that y'all are fifty percent
Speaker 1: correct with this one. It's a trick question. Rochelle is
Speaker 1: absolutely Caucasian, okay, okay, William is Indian. Don't you even
Speaker 1: think about it? Red, I don't don't. Don't you even
Speaker 1: don't you don't you do even think about it? Okay?
Speaker 1: But but William is Indian? Yes, okay, yes, so please
Speaker 1: give U William what's his name? Please give William Henderson
Speaker 1: and Rochelle Conbry the biggest he hull that played every
Speaker 1: genreal music. But I didn't didn't. I don't think we've
Speaker 1: ever had an Indian and guess what race it is?
Speaker 1: And I don't even want Red to even assume. Okay,
Speaker 1: I got okay, that is smart smart even as all right,
Speaker 1: all right, well thank you for that, donkey today, Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: all right, we got more coming up next with a
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club the Breakfast Club. Your mornings
Speaker 1: will never be the same morning. Everybody is DJ Envy
Speaker 1: Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We got a special guest joining us this morning. Indeed,
Speaker 1: Erica Ford and Andre Norman Welcome, Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 1: How are y'all? Don't want to form Jeff? Absolutely, they're
Speaker 1: here because Andre has an initiative called the Academy of Hope.
Speaker 1: Tell us what the Academy of Hope is. Bro The
Speaker 1: Academy of Hope is a program that's designed to help
Speaker 1: prison violence. In South Carolina. A few years ago, seven
Speaker 1: brothers lost their lives and in response to the Director
Speaker 1: of South Carolina Probative Corrections Brian Stirling, brought us sing
Speaker 1: because he wanted to decrease the violence. So we got
Speaker 1: all the leaders of all the different organizations in South
Speaker 1: Carolina and said we have to stop this. We put
Speaker 1: them in one unit, the heads of all the different organizations,
Speaker 1: and they agreed to a peace treaty and they've been
Speaker 1: building and learning how to do interventions and help each
Speaker 1: other first get along and carried out to the population.
Speaker 1: And it was probably six months ago when of the
Speaker 1: brothers said, you lieutenant's life and being murdered. How did
Speaker 1: you start those conversations with those brothers locked up? I
Speaker 1: mean we went in. The entire prison system was lockdown
Speaker 1: for five months after the riot, and we came in.
Speaker 1: They opened the doors. I said, you gotta let them out.
Speaker 1: It wanted me to talk like one day at a time.
Speaker 1: I'm like that stupass man. Let these brothers out. They've
Speaker 1: been locked down for five months. When it came out,
Speaker 1: we talked what was good for them? What about your family?
Speaker 1: What about your future? I'm saying, do you want to
Speaker 1: get out of here? Because I got one of my homies.
Speaker 1: It was with me, he did twenty nine years when
Speaker 1: we flipped this case and got him out. He's like, listen, man,
Speaker 1: let's do law work. Let's not worry about contraband I'm saying,
Speaker 1: let's let's do paralegal stuff versus hustling on the yard.
Speaker 1: And we talked about their freedoms, about their family, and
Speaker 1: that's what the academy hope it's about. Now, can we
Speaker 1: talk about your background and why this is something that's
Speaker 1: important to you? In particular, it's important to me because
Speaker 1: I spent fourteen years locked and so I had a
Speaker 1: hundred years sentence at a total of one hundred years,
Speaker 1: and I was inside doing what I do, six cases,
Speaker 1: shipped around the country, doing what I thought I was
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing, representing getting the name. Then I
Speaker 1: woke up one day and I realized I was a
Speaker 1: king of nowhere. I had the bag I had to respect.
Speaker 1: I was a king of nowhere, and I said, this
Speaker 1: ain't it. I said, well, I want to do something different.
Speaker 1: And the first thing I did is looked at the
Speaker 1: people who went home, the white black Spanish age. Nobody
Speaker 1: went home and state on. I said, freedom don't work.
Speaker 1: I need successful. So I said, I'm gonna go home
Speaker 1: and be successful and go to Harvard University. Everybody thought
Speaker 1: I was crazy. They said, you can't go to Harvard.
Speaker 1: You can't read. I'm saying, all you do. You in
Speaker 1: a hole for trying to just all the time. But
Speaker 1: I didn't kill what nobody said. I taught myself to read,
Speaker 1: taught myself to law, went back to court, went to programs,
Speaker 1: and for the next eight years I worked on myself
Speaker 1: and I had mentors in my life. And I got
Speaker 1: out of jail and I got a Harvard fellowship now
Speaker 1: I've worked at the White House, I've been at London
Speaker 1: Business School for twenty years, and I worked around the
Speaker 1: world with tons of people, and I could not go back.
Speaker 1: I've been going back since ninety minutes after I got
Speaker 1: to prison, prison Proof as youth center, doing the work.
Speaker 1: That's why me and Eric are connected, because we do
Speaker 1: the work. And that's what's so important too, because you
Speaker 1: talk about your background also and what even led you
Speaker 1: to ending up in prison, and just kind of how
Speaker 1: you were raised and what you saw and what you
Speaker 1: thought was normal growing up. For me, I went to
Speaker 1: prison not because people didn't love me, not because the
Speaker 1: neighborhood was bad, not even because schools were bad. I
Speaker 1: went to jail in the prison because my father taught
Speaker 1: me how to quit when he walked out on us.
Speaker 1: He taught me quitting was okay, and so everything in
Speaker 1: my life, music, sports, leadership, I quit. I quit it
Speaker 1: and it left me all positives gone, left me only negatives.
Speaker 1: So I went to jail for being a quitter or
Speaker 1: how you don't decide to quit after getting this sentence
Speaker 1: to one hundred years. That's why that's why I saw
Speaker 1: you know, the defected your organ this's got the Academy
Speaker 1: of hope. Like you had to have some type of
Speaker 1: hope even back then, because one hundred years, Lord have mercy.
Speaker 1: When you get off the bus, the big homies pull
Speaker 1: you up and you get into the flow. I wanted
Speaker 1: to go to school, wanted to go to learn how
Speaker 1: to be a folkliff driver, and they're like, yo, man,
Speaker 1: is that ain't the life up in here? They taught
Speaker 1: me to life from prison and I rolled with that
Speaker 1: and wasn't about doing a hundred years. It was about
Speaker 1: staying alive today and that day to day grind. Just
Speaker 1: six years later, I didn't been shipped to nine different states.
Speaker 1: I got kicked out of Massachusetts, kicked out of this one,
Speaker 1: kicked out of the Fez. I was in terror hoping
Speaker 1: in the eighties when it was a glad of head
Speaker 1: school and people just get murdered every day, and you
Speaker 1: just get into that groove. It's like, dudes who hustle,
Speaker 1: You're get into that group. You got enough money, why
Speaker 1: are you still hustling? You got into that groove and
Speaker 1: it's like, how old are you when you got sentence
Speaker 1: to the hundred eighteen? Okay, great, not great? But did
Speaker 1: you realize what a hundred years was, because I sometimes
Speaker 1: think these kids don't know what them numbers is when
Speaker 1: they get sentenced. Man, no you don't. You don't even
Speaker 1: think about it because the math doesn't make sense. You're
Speaker 1: just like, okay, you get off, you get off the
Speaker 1: bus up. For me, it was a reunion of all
Speaker 1: my friends from the dummy class. It was reading all
Speaker 1: my friends from juven o perbation. You know, all my
Speaker 1: friends got kicked out of school. It was just a
Speaker 1: big reunion and everybody's there not focusing on reality. They're
Speaker 1: still living in the fantasy world of OZ like this
Speaker 1: is this is cool. And for six years it was cool.
Speaker 1: I had fun. I ain't gonna lie really yeah, fun,
Speaker 1: but you did like two years I did two and
Speaker 1: a half years in solid It's like, what's fun about
Speaker 1: being on a block at three o'clock in the morning
Speaker 1: selling crack? Dudes do it? What's fun about getting up
Speaker 1: every single day and coming to work dudes doing I mean,
Speaker 1: you get into the lifestyle and you think you're making moves,
Speaker 1: but the only thing is you ain't moving up. The
Speaker 1: lodders ain't a corporate job. It's it's they put you
Speaker 1: in the tailspin. So you wake up, you realize, damn,
Speaker 1: I'm sixteen years in. My homie walked up. There's twenty
Speaker 1: five years in. They had them out on Flaunch ADX Lockdown,
Speaker 1: and it's like you get into a mind it's a mindset.
Speaker 1: But what do you say the kids that grow up
Speaker 1: and they always say I always hear I have no
Speaker 1: other way to do it. I had to do this.
Speaker 1: I was stuck. This is this is my environment, this
Speaker 1: is my area. This is all I can do. I
Speaker 1: believed you up until right now. It was all you
Speaker 1: can do until right now. See now you have life Camp,
Speaker 1: Now you have Academy Hope, now you have other programs
Speaker 1: that are going to show you how to make that transition.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I believe you. Up until right now, all
Speaker 1: you knew was trauma. All you knew it was negativity.
Speaker 1: All you knew was the hustle. Now do you really
Speaker 1: want to change? Yeah? They have. Some people never leave
Speaker 1: their neighborhood and they don't even know like what they
Speaker 1: could be capable of or see other things. Because when
Speaker 1: you grow up yourself used to being in this, like
Speaker 1: you know a few blocks of where you grew up,
Speaker 1: you're self used to the people that are around you,
Speaker 1: and you don't even see like what your life could
Speaker 1: potentially be. And some people's parents are stuck in Yeah,
Speaker 1: so their kids get stuck in the cycle, and their parents,
Speaker 1: you know, block their children's ability to fly on, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's like you have to. It's like you're fighting
Speaker 1: for the mindset of a whole community. And that's why
Speaker 1: we address violence as a public health crisis, because you
Speaker 1: have to help people heal and transform. You have to
Speaker 1: change mindset because what we're doing is not rocket science.
Speaker 1: We care about people, the people who own these institutions
Speaker 1: and create the environment for us not to because every community,
Speaker 1: when you cross a certain line, it's fundamentally different. The
Speaker 1: stores are difference, the food is different, the school learning,
Speaker 1: the life is different. The street there's no sidewalk, you know,
Speaker 1: everything is different. And so how do you have to
Speaker 1: expose people to the world outside they block right and
Speaker 1: let them know that there's hope and opportunity on the outside.
Speaker 1: You know. I was very when I first met Andre
Speaker 1: and saw that he was a brother. Because we hire
Speaker 1: credible messages. Most of the folks that we hire fully
Speaker 1: acrost rated men and women and Andre is like an
Speaker 1: He breaks the old also of that you just gotta
Speaker 1: be you like you gotta be that oldg like always ignorant,
Speaker 1: you know, like no, you don't like And so there's
Speaker 1: Andrea and another brother for Chicago, doctor Chico. They received
Speaker 1: a lot of folks. I'm receiving the doctrine. Going further
Speaker 1: to now, we have influenced the White House to put
Speaker 1: five billion dollars we talked about the last time we
Speaker 1: were here in the infrastructure built and that would help
Speaker 1: us provide more programming and service and really build an
Speaker 1: industry around violence prevention. You know, just like when the
Speaker 1: hip hop industry, the music industry first started. You know,
Speaker 1: we're looking to do the same thing. All right, we
Speaker 1: have more with Andre Norman and Erica Ford. When we
Speaker 1: come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Erica Ford
Speaker 1: and Andre Norman Charlomagne. Why old organizations like Academy of
Speaker 1: Hopes are important. Act. It's important because you gotta reach
Speaker 1: these folks and you need they need access to people
Speaker 1: like Andre to give them the ability to understand that
Speaker 1: they could do it too, because you know, me coming
Speaker 1: up to them, it's like, yeah, yeah, you know, you
Speaker 1: ain't never did what we did. It's like they say
Speaker 1: all the time, right, but he could say like I
Speaker 1: not only did it, I exceled beyond it. And he
Speaker 1: still makes a whole lot of money doing what he does,
Speaker 1: you know, So you don't have to be a herb
Speaker 1: or bomb or whatever it is that people think it is.
Speaker 1: You know, you could be very successful doing this work.
Speaker 1: And that's what people need to see, you know. That's
Speaker 1: why I talk a lot of time to artists and
Speaker 1: celebrities about making this work cool, because if we're not
Speaker 1: on the breakfast club, we don't exist, you know, if
Speaker 1: we're not hanging out with somebody who got a rep
Speaker 1: you know, geminizing the building. We see a lot of
Speaker 1: people talking about prison reform, a lot of celebrities, And
Speaker 1: you've been doing the ask work for such a long time,
Speaker 1: so you have seen a lot of progress, would you say,
Speaker 1: because we have a lot left to do, but you
Speaker 1: do have hope for that? Yes, yes, I do have hope.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people talk loud they're not really
Speaker 1: doing a lot, you know, and they get the access
Speaker 1: to the resources because they talk loud and they have
Speaker 1: the camera, they have the microphone. But a lot of
Speaker 1: people who are doing real quality work, like if we
Speaker 1: put millions of dollars in the stuff that we were
Speaker 1: doing the same stuff that he's talking about in Rikers too,
Speaker 1: and then they Rikers is different because they change the
Speaker 1: administration and so they stop the program. Right, so now
Speaker 1: there's no program and there's a whole lot of fighting
Speaker 1: between correction officers and in rikers. Now they need to
Speaker 1: put the programs back that work, like this is a
Speaker 1: lot of societies backwards. Stuff that works, they don't invest it.
Speaker 1: Stuff that don't work they invested. You don't ask how
Speaker 1: did the prison administration contact you guys and how was that?
Speaker 1: Because it feels like a lot of times you would
Speaker 1: think that the prison administration doesn't want to hear what
Speaker 1: we think works and they just want to try their
Speaker 1: own thing, whether more police or more officers in there.
Speaker 1: So how did that conversation that most people go what
Speaker 1: they know, that's just the standards, whether it's police and
Speaker 1: whether it's yeah, whatever they go with. You know, if
Speaker 1: it's the homies, you get more Homies. I was at
Speaker 1: a conference speaking and when I finished speaking, a lady
Speaker 1: named mean and Staley walked up to me. She was
Speaker 1: a director program so South Carolina. She said, that was
Speaker 1: a wonderful speech, but can you actually do that? That's
Speaker 1: what do you mean? She said, we just had seven
Speaker 1: brothers died and thirty people wounded, and we've been lockdown
Speaker 1: for five months. We don't have an answer. Can you
Speaker 1: be our answer? And at first I was like, I'm busy.
Speaker 1: I'm like lady, I'm a motivational speaker. I make ten
Speaker 1: racks of speech. I'm flying around the world. I catched
Speaker 1: me in December. It was August, and she said, where's
Speaker 1: your commitment to the work? Canceled my whole schedule. Seven
Speaker 1: days later, I was in South Carolina called the homies
Speaker 1: and three of us went in there and we spoke
Speaker 1: at ten prisons over six days to eight thousand people.
Speaker 1: Were you nervous that they weren't going to be received
Speaker 1: you guys, well, no, I can't get on no place.
Speaker 1: I got on in the penitentiary. I got no worry
Speaker 1: about going in the penditentiary because I grew up there.
Speaker 1: I speak that language. Once I started talking. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: he from saying like, you got thousands of people who
Speaker 1: talked to work, but they I got literally my brother
Speaker 1: right now, Dominic Williams, twenty nine years wall to wall
Speaker 1: is in South Carolina prison right now at lead correction
Speaker 1: doing the work. I'm saying, we got brothers inside, Tracy Fan,
Speaker 1: South Carolina freedom fighter inside today doing the work. I
Speaker 1: got Sean Henley out of the South side of Chicago
Speaker 1: inside today doing the work. If I wasn't here, I'd
Speaker 1: be at the prison. This was supposed to be yesterday.
Speaker 1: When you bumped it. I said, yo, y'all. They're like, yo,
Speaker 1: dre go rap us. I'm saying, I'm here not to
Speaker 1: rap under the Norman. I'm here to repp the brothers
Speaker 1: from South Carolina who were inside. I'm saying, trying to
Speaker 1: be heard, like they're doing great stuff. How do we
Speaker 1: put this program in every prison? How do you put
Speaker 1: this program in every prison. It's a conversation either with
Speaker 1: the governor, the president. I'm saying that people on the
Speaker 1: Director of Corrections and we just go in. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've had corrections offices. I met with the brother runs
Speaker 1: New York. I'm saying two weeks ago. It's just about networking.
Speaker 1: It's who you know, it's not what you do. I
Speaker 1: would think that people would listen to YouTube because one
Speaker 1: hundred years you did fourteen like did you learn something?
Speaker 1: And did you learn the legal system? Or do you
Speaker 1: get out on the pill or my case is in
Speaker 1: the books, No, no, you go come up versus on
Speaker 1: the normal numb in the books. I'm saying I had
Speaker 1: a hundred years or for a time I was supposed
Speaker 1: to do twenty eight. I'm saying I flipped and gave
Speaker 1: back like ten or twelve, and I made parole. So
Speaker 1: it wasn't like I had. It wasn't all consecutive, but
Speaker 1: it was a hundred years worth of time. And when
Speaker 1: I came home, I was inside. I saw the studying.
Speaker 1: That's the greatest place to study. There's no greater place
Speaker 1: to study, the independent country because your focus is on
Speaker 1: so I come from the world or get it right
Speaker 1: or die. When I was hustling inside, it was get
Speaker 1: it right or die. When I started studying, I had
Speaker 1: the same attitude, and I learned the things I need
Speaker 1: to learn. When I came home, I was waiting for
Speaker 1: this expert to pop up and They say, Yo, you
Speaker 1: don't know nothing about this work. And this embarrassed me.
Speaker 1: But I would go places and nobody knew about the
Speaker 1: penitentiary because they've never been. They read a book, somebody
Speaker 1: told them about it, some intern there of the story.
Speaker 1: They've never been. We go inside. We don't sit outside
Speaker 1: with a I'm going unders people whole signs. We go
Speaker 1: behind the walls and we sit with people in themselves,
Speaker 1: in their pain. We help them heal, because if you
Speaker 1: don't help them heal, they'll never grow. What rights do
Speaker 1: incarcerated individuals have when it comes to corrections officers being
Speaker 1: abusive toward them? Is it? Do you feel like helpless
Speaker 1: about that? Or what can somebody do if they're being mistreated,
Speaker 1: you're being mistreated. Um, you can follow a grievance, but
Speaker 1: a grievance goes back to the same cycle. I mean
Speaker 1: that the whole correction system. It's like saying what rights
Speaker 1: of a slave? I'm saying you own the plantation and
Speaker 1: the story. It's slavery twenty twenty one. So I'm not
Speaker 1: going to try to dress it up because I worked there.
Speaker 1: Prison is slavery. That's it, Thirteenth Amendment. Unless you come
Speaker 1: at a crime, you do Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: dj enjy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Erica Ford and
Speaker 1: Andre Norman Charlomagne. What does that healing look like? Erica,
Speaker 1: the healing Drey was talking about the healing looks like.
Speaker 1: One of the things that we used to do in
Speaker 1: the prison is fight with them around the diet of
Speaker 1: the folks. Right. We used to do yoga with them
Speaker 1: inside and we were in the worst unit here in
Speaker 1: New York City, and so they were in cages, right,
Speaker 1: and we would do yoga in the in the cage
Speaker 1: with them. We would do meditation with them or the
Speaker 1: day to day basis. We would have them do different
Speaker 1: kind of readings and understanding about this is not you,
Speaker 1: This doesn't define you where you are and healing, you know,
Speaker 1: like you gotta let go of what brought you here.
Speaker 1: What is the pain of the trauma that you were
Speaker 1: dealing with that caused you to do that crime or
Speaker 1: cause you to do Because the first thing is keeping
Speaker 1: folks out of prison, right, and then if they go
Speaker 1: into the the prison, then allow us to work with
Speaker 1: them to transform them so that they come back to
Speaker 1: society a whole new person. And in terms of just
Speaker 1: what people can do in terms of support is you
Speaker 1: got to contact the people outside. You got to have
Speaker 1: advocates that can raise the attention of what's going on
Speaker 1: inside the prison, to bring attention to it so that
Speaker 1: they can get relief, because if nobody knows, then it's
Speaker 1: going to go on and on and on. And a
Speaker 1: lot of people are being violated in prisons. A lot
Speaker 1: of people are serving time for crimes that everyone knows
Speaker 1: they didn't. You know, it's a business and in order
Speaker 1: for the businesses they run it, you need people in there.
Speaker 1: And so that's the flip side of the work. You know.
Speaker 1: Really I would love to close all the prisons and
Speaker 1: allow us to really help our people. Hell, give us
Speaker 1: big estates and compounds that have land and opportunity to
Speaker 1: expose them to something different. Because a lot of young
Speaker 1: kids you see picking up guns now that stay paid
Speaker 1: and they commit to me, some of them committing suicide,
Speaker 1: you know, because they don't want to live, because they
Speaker 1: think that they have no hope, you know, because everything
Speaker 1: in front of them is quitting. His failure is death.
Speaker 1: Is you know, abuse, it's trauma and generational trauma, Briggs,
Speaker 1: generational pain and that's what you see a lot of
Speaker 1: times of these kids. And that's what happens with the
Speaker 1: you know, because when he talks about his father quit,
Speaker 1: that's a pain of a man leaving you that you
Speaker 1: thought was supposed to be with you for y'all tire
Speaker 1: your life. So he can say it, and I see
Speaker 1: him when he's talking to his father, I see the
Speaker 1: pain still live today. You know. He might try to
Speaker 1: laugh out of it, but you know, yes, like I
Speaker 1: ain't seen you in five years. I don't want going
Speaker 1: on Dad. I'm saying shout out to Dad in today.
Speaker 1: But I brought my son up here. She's done your
Speaker 1: go with my son. And the thing I was inside
Speaker 1: the other day, my son wrote me a letter when
Speaker 1: he was flying home. He lives in London, and he
Speaker 1: wrote me a letter said they he's proud of me
Speaker 1: and that he loves me, and he didn't he read
Speaker 1: my book but the first time, and he's like, yo, Dad,
Speaker 1: I didn't know you went through that. I just thought
Speaker 1: it was like rich our whole life and it's all
Speaker 1: like I'm like because and he wrote me that I
Speaker 1: read the letter to the brothers in the side and
Speaker 1: I cried as I read it. I'm like, dude, it
Speaker 1: took me fourteen years to get this breakthrough. You gotta
Speaker 1: hold your line, man, I said, I couldn't go against
Speaker 1: the family. I had to put up with some stuff
Speaker 1: that I knew I was right on. Then I knew
Speaker 1: I could speak to but he's twelve, he's eight. He
Speaker 1: can't understand. So I did take it on the chin
Speaker 1: and just wait for my victory. And my victory came
Speaker 1: last Monday, and I told him, I say, it took
Speaker 1: me fourteen years to get to that point when my
Speaker 1: son said, Dad, Dad, I love you and I'm proud
Speaker 1: of you. Not get it. Was there a reason why
Speaker 1: you didn't tell him before him? You know, you go
Speaker 1: through stuff and you don't want to ever confuse an
Speaker 1: eight year old by telling him, Okay, you were told this,
Speaker 1: but it's really that you were told that, because it's
Speaker 1: just gonna do more harm than good. So I said, no,
Speaker 1: something I gotta take that. I'm the man. I gotta
Speaker 1: just take it on the chin and the interests of
Speaker 1: his mental health and well being and just be the
Speaker 1: bad guy for a little while, or let that story
Speaker 1: float for a little while, because the day's gonna come.
Speaker 1: I don't have to be right today when he's seven.
Speaker 1: I don't have to be right today when he's twelve.
Speaker 1: If I want him to be long term healthy, I
Speaker 1: gotta take this. I gotta carry this because I'm his dad,
Speaker 1: and he made it through and I got my victory. KA.
Speaker 1: When you talk about the main things to try to
Speaker 1: keep people out of prison, period, right, I want you
Speaker 1: to also look back in retrospect. Are there things that
Speaker 1: you feel like could have helped you so that you
Speaker 1: didn't go to prison? Because I think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people who are struggling but their own kids right
Speaker 1: now that are like I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: I can see the path that my child is headed
Speaker 1: on and I don't know how to help. First thing
Speaker 1: for parents, asks for help, I mean, don't be overwhelmed,
Speaker 1: don't be embarrassed. That's one of the biggest things I
Speaker 1: run into because I work with white parents, Spanish parents,
Speaker 1: Black parents, and they're scared, they're embarrassed. Asks for help
Speaker 1: like I can't control or govern my own child. And
Speaker 1: for people who want to be helpful, this every gang member,
Speaker 1: every criminal, every whoever drug deal or drug addict is
Speaker 1: sitting right now and a K one he's seven years
Speaker 1: old with dirty socks and he looks is he messed up?
Speaker 1: If you go give him a sandwich and a hug
Speaker 1: and some clean socks into whatever you ask me to do.
Speaker 1: Kids right now and K wanted just looking for love
Speaker 1: and look for something to eat, and they're not getting it.
Speaker 1: It's not to the eighteen years old and the gut
Speaker 1: in their hand. Then we come in. But you need
Speaker 1: to go down to the K one in K twos
Speaker 1: and get them before they turn because they're sitting there
Speaker 1: right now and everybody's ignoring them. Do you think when
Speaker 1: he said the thing about being right right? Do parents?
Speaker 1: I never gave birth to any kids. I got a
Speaker 1: thousand of them though, right. Parents have to be their
Speaker 1: child's parents. Too. Many parents want to be their child's friend,
Speaker 1: want to be the homie, want to hang out with
Speaker 1: their kids, weed with their kids, you know, and you
Speaker 1: have to understand the impression that you're putting up on
Speaker 1: that child. You're putting too much burden and responsibility on
Speaker 1: a child to understand and navigate adulthood, you know, without
Speaker 1: guidance and supervision and rules and regulations, and then when
Speaker 1: they get into a situation, then they stopped and you're like,
Speaker 1: why why you why? Why? No? This came into being,
Speaker 1: It didn't just happen today. And so then and and
Speaker 1: and oppression brings that I don't want to, you know,
Speaker 1: make it like our community is guided towards failure. It's
Speaker 1: guided towards a mindset of of mediocrity, of ignorance. You know. Um,
Speaker 1: I heard y'all talking about that brother when I was
Speaker 1: walking in here, and um, there was a whole conversation
Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks about whack one hundred
Speaker 1: and six nine right, And many people got into that conversation.
Speaker 1: And I said to one of those people who got
Speaker 1: into the conversation, I said, if a police walked up
Speaker 1: to you and said those same words or called you
Speaker 1: out of your name, are you gonna respond to them?
Speaker 1: And they were like no, I said, so, why are
Speaker 1: you responding to a police out of uniform? I said,
Speaker 1: a lot of things are set up in our community
Speaker 1: and our culture to take us off our square, get
Speaker 1: distracted from what we're supposed to do and get victimized. Right.
Speaker 1: One way or another people could get into a fight,
Speaker 1: get shot and kill. I'm from Jamaica, Queens. I know
Speaker 1: what happened when Rick Ross and fifty cent had a beef.
Speaker 1: I know what happened when Jah Rule and fifty cent
Speaker 1: had a beef. I know what happened in our community.
Speaker 1: A lot of times when different people have beefs, it
Speaker 1: trickles down to neighborhoods, right, and people don't see that.
Speaker 1: They don't see that, right, And so I know it's
Speaker 1: a long thing. But the avenue is we gotta take
Speaker 1: care of our kids. We gotta take care and we
Speaker 1: gotta ask for help. We gotta support help. I don't
Speaker 1: do this because I'm trying to be famous. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing it for money. If I was, they he people
Speaker 1: tell me all the time, I'm stupid, right because I
Speaker 1: could be making money, I could be what it's ever famous,
Speaker 1: you know whatever? That is, right, But that's not my
Speaker 1: intention or my purpose here in this world. It is
Speaker 1: to give the tools to the people and connect people
Speaker 1: so that you have an opportunity that you thought and
Speaker 1: break this system down because it is killing us mentally
Speaker 1: and emotionally more than anything else, you know, and our
Speaker 1: kids can't deal with the mental destruction, right, they can't
Speaker 1: deal with it. So when you talk about trauma and
Speaker 1: get help, they don't even know how to get help.
Speaker 1: And so they're getting help smoking a blood, drinking whatever
Speaker 1: it is they drink, popping pills. And then you gotta
Speaker 1: everybody gotta gun now. It's a system that's set up
Speaker 1: for us to fail, and it's got to be so
Speaker 1: many other ways for us to do it. It's gonna
Speaker 1: take Biden and Congress to vote for the infrastructure bill,
Speaker 1: vote for the reconstruction bill, and really support the five
Speaker 1: billion dollars so that we can give people the tools
Speaker 1: that they need to do this work and change your lives. Well,
Speaker 1: give them the website so they can, you know, look
Speaker 1: it up, look up more information. Look the website is

Speaker 1: the problem. Yeah, that's the fact. Trust me so much.
Speaker 1: Said you lost like dirty. Yeah, I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: watch my did, trying to do right, trying to do
Speaker 1: a little something. And y'all both on this journey together, yeah,
Speaker 1: which I think it's helpful. Hey, we've been tracking a
Speaker 1: long time thirty three years, so we're trying to keep
Speaker 1: up with each other. Now. Listen this new album, Overcomer.
Speaker 1: It's very inspiring. And I do love the sogn that
Speaker 1: you have a white cleft and Kirk Franklin because you know,
Speaker 1: as I got a little Caribbean vibe. Hello God. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think it was really fun putting it together. We
Speaker 1: had the course of Covid and everything. We had to
Speaker 1: do it separately till Covid to go to Hell and
Speaker 1: Kirk Kirk did ours together because we're both in the
Speaker 1: same city, right man. We did it at his studio
Speaker 1: and then walk Cliffs send his stuff and it was
Speaker 1: just amazing how it happened. Though it's my fun song.
Speaker 1: It's just saying hello, God, just wake up in the morning.
Speaker 1: Just give thanks this, thank God for another that drive
Speaker 1: to work in the morning. Yes, just as good wake
Speaker 1: up song, good, wake up, great wake up man. And
Speaker 1: let me ask you this what kind So Okay, I
Speaker 1: was talking about Kanye's new album Donda, and I do
Speaker 1: like like the facts that his songs have these I
Speaker 1: like the songs that I'm more like religious that are
Speaker 1: on his album, like more had that kind of failed
Speaker 1: to it, you know what I mean, Like they felt spiritual.
Speaker 1: Have you listened to it? Because I haven't. I haven't
Speaker 1: had a chance to hear the new one. I haven't
Speaker 1: had a chance. But I was reading the reviews and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, some of the reviews came
Speaker 1: from up here. I haven't had a chance to hear
Speaker 1: any of it yet. But you know, if I feel
Speaker 1: like if we're spreading the good news and you know
Speaker 1: you're trying to inspire and uplift people and give people hope.
Speaker 1: To me, that's what gospel music it's about. It's about
Speaker 1: the good news, bringing good news and just encouraging people.
Speaker 1: Right now, all of us need some type of encouragement.
Speaker 1: That's why we did the album Overcomer, just to let
Speaker 1: people know that we can overcome whatever obstacles that we're
Speaker 1: going through, because all of us are dealing with something
Speaker 1: and we need help through something, help with something, and
Speaker 1: just just I'm just sending people as an encourager that
Speaker 1: God is my source, He's my help and that that's
Speaker 1: how I get through things. It is what God. Let
Speaker 1: me ask your question and not talk about Kanye, but
Speaker 1: what do you feel like when you see pastors or
Speaker 1: musicians or artists where they speak the good word and
Speaker 1: they speak it, but then when you see their life,
Speaker 1: they don't live it because the gift comes without repentance.
Speaker 1: That's what the scripture says. So, I mean, sometimes some
Speaker 1: people are very good at what they do what they do,
Speaker 1: and they the thing about it is they may be
Speaker 1: able to help somebody out of what they're dealing with
Speaker 1: help themselves and can't help themselves. And I think what
Speaker 1: they need, like what we all need, is grace and
Speaker 1: more grace because I think sometimes we put people on
Speaker 1: a pedestal and say you mess up. You know that,
Speaker 1: that's it. And I think we have to start showing
Speaker 1: more grace to each other. That's what we have to do. More,
Speaker 1: love more. I've decided in the last two years what
Speaker 1: COVID has taught me is to love more and judge less. Okay,
Speaker 1: So if I'm doing that, I'm going to say, Okay, bro,
Speaker 1: I understand, you made a mistake, You're not perfect, let's pray,
Speaker 1: let's restore, and let's move on. But if they don't
Speaker 1: feel like they made a mistake, then you got then
Speaker 1: they have another. Then they have then that's out of
Speaker 1: our hands. Because all we have to do is just again,
Speaker 1: like just like our kids, we try to be the
Speaker 1: best example that you can for your kids, your grandkids
Speaker 1: or just people watching you guys, just like with this,
Speaker 1: it's like you're not gonna do everything right. Everybody's not
Speaker 1: gonna like everything you say. They're not gonna like everything
Speaker 1: that we do. But all we can do is just
Speaker 1: be the best example that we can be Do you
Speaker 1: call people out on their bullets? Though, yes I would,
Speaker 1: Yes he did. But if it's not good, he'll say,
Speaker 1: it's not that you need to sometimes because I think
Speaker 1: people need to know the truth because a lot of
Speaker 1: times the people around you are there for different reasons.
Speaker 1: You know. Now, what I'm learning to do is temper
Speaker 1: how I say it now, because see me, I say
Speaker 1: I'm learning. Yes, I'm learning, because sometimes it's not it's
Speaker 1: how we say it. It's not what what you're saying
Speaker 1: is probably really good and me and sounds good, but
Speaker 1: how we say it don't come out the right. Probably
Speaker 1: what you're saying is right, but you're probably just putting
Speaker 1: a little on it to make it feel. But I
Speaker 1: think you cannot help. I think you can't let people
Speaker 1: just get get by with just doing foolishness, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because we have to say when we're in the studio,
Speaker 1: if it sucks and it's terrible, tell me in here
Speaker 1: where we only laugh. Don't get outside the door where
Speaker 1: millions of people here. And then you say, I told
Speaker 1: you I started to say something, you should have said something, no,
Speaker 1: And I got you know, And that's one thing I
Speaker 1: love about my wife. Sometimes it's too too honest, brutally
Speaker 1: your wife and your husband's the one that could stab you,
Speaker 1: and you know it really brutal, brutally. We got thirty
Speaker 1: three years O. Yes, but I got friends and sometimes
Speaker 1: they're so honest you get so mad, but then you
Speaker 1: realize it. Have a friend Tina, she works the death
Speaker 1: gym right now. She calls me every morning and she
Speaker 1: tells me some always she'll tell she'll leave with negative
Speaker 1: and then and with positive. Right, But it's all some
Speaker 1: bullish right, yeah, But you know she loves you because
Speaker 1: she's taking from a good place, you know, And and
Speaker 1: that's it's that's hard to receive some and you have
Speaker 1: to be able to trust the person. That has to
Speaker 1: be people that you genuinely trust, somebody that has your
Speaker 1: best entry, somebody that has your heart. And you know,
Speaker 1: you're not just telling me this just to tep. You're
Speaker 1: telling me to help me and guide me on the
Speaker 1: right path. But you also have to know that people
Speaker 1: have their own things that they're dealing with that we
Speaker 1: may have no idea about from the outside looking in,
Speaker 1: so things can appear away. But I think we do
Speaker 1: have to be more empathetic to people, especially during this time.
Speaker 1: Even if we're talking about her new project, people don't
Speaker 1: know that this project was a journey. Yes, it was
Speaker 1: a full journey. Like people don't understand the behind the
Speaker 1: scenes stuff that was going on with her, like with
Speaker 1: the pain I was like dealing with with my knees,
Speaker 1: like working doing the plays, doing all the television stuff
Speaker 1: and studio, and then I wound up doing double knee
Speaker 1: replacement because it got that bad. And that does how
Speaker 1: painful was that? Because that feels like it was very painful.
Speaker 1: At first I was it's like, okay, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: do one. Then I was like, no, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and do both so I won't have to take
Speaker 1: off work another six months, you know, so let's kill it. Man.
Speaker 1: My doctor was like, I believe you at a good
Speaker 1: age where you can handle dealing with and working through both.
Speaker 1: And but it was a lot of pain. I cried.
Speaker 1: We did some social media stuff. I was like, and
Speaker 1: in between that, trying to walk, trying to figure out
Speaker 1: how to walk, going to I had to get up
Speaker 1: this test show in Sickness and in health in yours.
Speaker 1: I was like, I got a new He said, you
Speaker 1: acting like a new born because I would wake up
Speaker 1: in the night it was like, come on, I want
Speaker 1: to walk. I want to just get up and just
Speaker 1: move around. Bottom line, thank God for good health being
Speaker 1: around you, especially with that type of surgery. You gotta
Speaker 1: have somebody there to help you. And then in the
Speaker 1: middle of that, you know, you got a pandemic and
Speaker 1: then Mama's dealing with yes and listen. I love that
Speaker 1: you are so open about that, because you're right, we
Speaker 1: don't talk about that, and that I've never really heard
Speaker 1: anybody discut for people are like menching it or make
Speaker 1: a joke about it. You heard about the change, It's
Speaker 1: like you're going through the change. I was like, I
Speaker 1: heard that growing up all my life, Like what is
Speaker 1: the change? You know people think when you have your
Speaker 1: monthly it's it's it's terrible. This is terrible because it
Speaker 1: really sends you on a roller coaster and it's like
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. It's like this morning coming I was sweating.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm put on makeup and I'll just sweating.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm really not hot, but you're sweating.
Speaker 1: The emotional part of it, it's crazy because I will
Speaker 1: be happy then all of a sudden. Oh it would
Speaker 1: be I'm gonna tell you how I noticed it. It
Speaker 1: was like, because she talks to me really sweet, ain't baby?
Speaker 1: You know this is great and I love you? And
Speaker 1: then she came back from the kitchen. It's like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna kill you tomorrow. I mean, because you can't even
Speaker 1: you know, it changes and it's like it takes something.
Speaker 1: It's like something taking over your body that you don't
Speaker 1: know that's happening. So I'm just saying for you and
Speaker 1: your wife, you know, whenever that happens, y'all be patient
Speaker 1: with each other. We have more with him and David Man.
Speaker 1: When we come back to Don't Move, it's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
Speaker 1: it with still kicking it with Tamla and David Man.
Speaker 1: So what's your relationship? I mean, you know, people automatically
Speaker 1: assume you do gospel music that the relationship has to
Speaker 1: be perfect. No, So what how do you say that
Speaker 1: too fast? How do you deal with problems in the relationship? Like,
Speaker 1: what is the best way that you guys deal with problems,
Speaker 1: who runs who, who doesn't want to talk? Who likes
Speaker 1: to talk? Who like I'm not, I'm not. I'm learning
Speaker 1: to become the talker, but I have not always been
Speaker 1: the talker. I'm doing a lot better now because I
Speaker 1: know that's what he needs for me. It's for me
Speaker 1: to talk to him and let's talk through this thing.
Speaker 1: I'm like person of one or two words and then
Speaker 1: you know, I'm done with it. But I've learned to
Speaker 1: add more than just you know, figure out something else
Speaker 1: to say out. Yeah, well, I see. For me, I
Speaker 1: do understand our relationship is not perfect. What we are,
Speaker 1: we're working progress, right, We're do an evaluation every year.
Speaker 1: We're do an evaluation like you should go, you should
Speaker 1: go and just go revisit your marriage vibe. You know.
Speaker 1: Like I say, I'm not trying to push you back
Speaker 1: to the album. But that's why this album, for both
Speaker 1: of us, it is so personal. It was the overcoming title.
Speaker 1: It really means something to us because that's a nice,
Speaker 1: powerful song. It was, but it but it is because
Speaker 1: we all been we're doing a lot. We've been working
Speaker 1: there and it's like I want my things to change
Speaker 1: around me. But sometimes the change has to begin with you.
Speaker 1: It's okay to have a therapist, and Jesus it is
Speaker 1: okay because a lot of times we shore next step right,
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm praying. What I am praying is
Speaker 1: that the LAWD gives the doctor wisdom enough to help me.
Speaker 1: So you guys have done therapy. I have. I've done,
Speaker 1: I've gone because I'm a lot, I'm a lot. I
Speaker 1: haven't yet, but but I really do plan on going
Speaker 1: and talking to somebody because I feel like it's just
Speaker 1: good to have another outlet. What about couple of therapy. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: we haven't had it, no, but we've we've worked some
Speaker 1: people through it. Yes, but we sit and we talk
Speaker 1: about everything, and I mean we're the kind of people
Speaker 1: that it happens. It could be two or three o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning. We land in the bed and we
Speaker 1: just started having like a session, just laying there talking
Speaker 1: about it. And then there's times that we have actually
Speaker 1: prayed at that time of the morning to just really
Speaker 1: because we want our relationship to work. The voice is
Speaker 1: not an option. We both put that out there that
Speaker 1: we're gonna work through whatever we we're dealing with. And
Speaker 1: what was the the toughest song for me would have
Speaker 1: been overcoming was a because it was a whole different
Speaker 1: vibe from me. Wow. And it was because it was like,
Speaker 1: to me, it's more hip hop, rocket sh you you beau,
Speaker 1: but it's like, after like sitting and listening to it,
Speaker 1: it was like, I'm not I'm gonna conquer this. So
Speaker 1: that that and Hello God to me because they were
Speaker 1: toldly different, stayed away from the vibe you know, the
Speaker 1: ballots that I'm used to, that people used to hearing
Speaker 1: from me, and that that's what I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: people to understand, is to hear me and another like
Speaker 1: give me an opportunity, to give me a chance to
Speaker 1: just even for you to hear what I'm saying. You know,
Speaker 1: I know it's a God is my faith? Is it? Yes,
Speaker 1: it's all about my faith. But the songs that we're
Speaker 1: singing or stuff that can really help you get through something,
Speaker 1: you think it I thought, I no, because he did
Speaker 1: it for me as a ballot. The reason if he
Speaker 1: did it for me for me on the album is
Speaker 1: I had a lot of people come to me and well,
Speaker 1: actually my radio guy came back to me after I
Speaker 1: did an interview with someone and they was like, well,
Speaker 1: why is everything coming to her? And it really pricked
Speaker 1: me because you know, I grew up really poor and
Speaker 1: it's like I know what it means not to have
Speaker 1: and you know, to go through without things. And I
Speaker 1: was like, the stuff that's happened for me, you know,
Speaker 1: was the favor. I believe it was favor of God
Speaker 1: that happened for me. And God did it like to
Speaker 1: go work with Tyler Perry You didn't have money like that? No, No,
Speaker 1: we were scratching with I mean when we first met
Speaker 1: Tyler David, actually I didn't meet David Flew admit him
Speaker 1: with freaking fly my frequent flyer. I wanted it that
Speaker 1: bad to go, let's figure this out and I used
Speaker 1: my freaking flyer mouse. So you know that the song
Speaker 1: he did it for me is just it's just the
Speaker 1: testimony like, hey, you guys didn't see this through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what we went through in the beginning and now you
Speaker 1: know you could see it now. So it didn't come easy.
Speaker 1: Don't discount it. You know that we're here. We had
Speaker 1: to go through some truck, some struggles and you know trial, Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything's not perfect, right, So was there ever a time
Speaker 1: in your marriage, what like, what would you say was
Speaker 1: the toughest period for you guys to get through? My
Speaker 1: six year of marriage. I'll never forget it, all right,
Speaker 1: We was having some you know, some rough rough patch
Speaker 1: and I kept you know, you know, your first years
Speaker 1: of marriage. You always said, especially for women, we always
Speaker 1: say I'm leaving, I'm taking my kids and I'm gonna

Speaker 1: I'm taking my kids and I'm going to my mama.
Speaker 1: In the you know, some things, you know, kept happening,
Speaker 1: and you know it's just, you know, just disagreements. Because
Speaker 1: the thing about us, honestly, y'all not to make a
Speaker 1: perfect picture here, but we've had more happy days and
Speaker 1: said days we don't have them. An argument. Our arguments
Speaker 1: came from that time of the month. Honestly, that's when
Speaker 1: we was the real thing. That's when we spatted, you know,
Speaker 1: or argued. So we had an argument and I was,
Speaker 1: you know, I was mad, and I was like, I'm

Speaker 1: I'm gonna take my kids and I'm going. So this time,

Speaker 1: the kids. Y'all got to do the fine part to
Speaker 1: bring the kids here, and then she did all the
Speaker 1: work well afterwards, she got the baby here. But I
Speaker 1: can I honestly don't need it. One left me take
Speaker 1: care of because I can throw the baby up, change
Speaker 1: the path before and hit the ground. But I but
Speaker 1: I I try to try. I had to get that
Speaker 1: one up that didn't last. But I tried to do that.
Speaker 1: But I told him that I was gonna leave. He said,
Speaker 1: you say that one more time. I'm gonna pack your
Speaker 1: stuff up and take you to your mama. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: looked at him, and I thought about where my mama
Speaker 1: lived and where I lived, and she lived in a
Speaker 1: one bedroom house at the time, and I was like,
Speaker 1: where are me and my kids gonna sleep? My kids?
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that's where he asked. But that
Speaker 1: was really the roughest thing. And after he told me that,
Speaker 1: y'all ain't said that the moment. So if we didn't
Speaker 1: let that break us up early in our marriage, we
Speaker 1: wouldn't be here living the dreamy y'all figured out your purpose? Yes,
Speaker 1: I do, and I think it really is. I keep
Speaker 1: saying it, but we are sent here to be I
Speaker 1: know that I'm an encourager bottom line. I mean, even
Speaker 1: before all of this. And a friend of mine text
Speaker 1: me the other day, guys, and she was saying, you
Speaker 1: remember when we used to go we had this restaurant
Speaker 1: called Punchos. We really wasn't making a whole lot of money,
Speaker 1: but we were always trying to help somebody, even before
Speaker 1: all of this, And she said, you remember, y'all used
Speaker 1: to take me and my kids out and we was
Speaker 1: having problems when I was having problems in my marriage
Speaker 1: and y'all was there for us. And I just kind
Speaker 1: of got teary I had and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, babe because I called
Speaker 1: him bad. I was like, Babe, we was trying to
Speaker 1: help people when we didn't have nothing. And I believe
Speaker 1: that's why God has shown us favor and he did
Speaker 1: it for us, you know, and so we'll still be
Speaker 1: able to help other people. I think for me, it's
Speaker 1: to bring Jordan people. I make people laugh, and once
Speaker 1: I realized I'm annoying it to make people laugh, I'm
Speaker 1: annoying it to bring Jordan people. That's my purpose, it's
Speaker 1: to uplift people, and that's that's what we're here to do.
