Speaker 1: My mother in law of the Delta. Good for her.
Speaker 1: See that's why you're a nice guy. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about the election? And Senator Kamala Harris, what does
Speaker 1: that mean for for black women? I'm glad for the country. Actually, uh,
Speaker 1: I think it's good for for all of us. But
Speaker 1: I think it's a statement for the country when we
Speaker 1: look at at at what black women have given to
Speaker 1: this country. And of course I'm a big, big fan.
Speaker 1: And you couldn't help but love Fandy low Hammer and
Speaker 1: missus Hammer and her confrontation with Linda Lyndon Johnson in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four when she took the Mississippi Freedom Democratic
Speaker 1: Party over to Atlantic City and it was back and forth,
Speaker 1: they testified and back and forth, and finally Lyndon Johnson
Speaker 1: came to missus Hammer, as you know, and said, well,
Speaker 1: why don't you take two seats because they miss have
Speaker 1: had four, So why don't I give you two seats
Speaker 1: and we'll work it out for next time. And missus
Speaker 1: Hammer looked at me and said, we didn't come here
Speaker 1: for No. Two seats and I've always loved her for that.
Speaker 1: So seeing where we are right now, and I'm sorry
Speaker 1: that miss Hammer is not here, I know that it
Speaker 1: would just absolutely please her. But I know that as
Speaker 1: a black woman, having watched things like missus Hammer, I
Speaker 1: know that I will always vote. And I was glad
Speaker 1: to see the our vote, the black vote was was
Speaker 1: such a big turn out. Another poem that I like
Speaker 1: that you have that I appreciate is raise your hand
Speaker 1: in favor of immigrants, And I thought that was so
Speaker 1: well said. So tell me, like I like to know
Speaker 1: just because you are so inspirational, Like when you wrote this,
Speaker 1: was there something in particular where you're watching the news,
Speaker 1: like what inspires you? When you did raise your hand
Speaker 1: in favor of immigrants? I thought, yeah, everybody's been complaining
Speaker 1: these people are taking my job. Well, if you want
Speaker 1: one of those job, raise your hand. Which which job
Speaker 1: where you want to raise your hand? Let me let
Speaker 1: me see who wants the job. They're working to take
Speaker 1: care of their children. They're working to see to that
Speaker 1: their children go and again, Harris, is so important here
Speaker 1: that their children go to school. They're doing the dirty
Speaker 1: jobs that nobody wants to do and what I really
Speaker 1: want to know, And I'm gonna call later on this afternoon.
Speaker 1: I know a commissioner in DC. I want to know
Speaker 1: how many people who worked in the White House died.
Speaker 1: Now I know that that Trump didn't die, which was
Speaker 1: you know, one of the unfortunate things. I can see
Speaker 1: that that that woman that is married to didn't die,
Speaker 1: that half wit that he has a son, I wasn't
Speaker 1: bound or something didn't die. But I can't believe that
Speaker 1: that the COVID has been going around the White House
Speaker 1: the way that it has, and the people who are cleaning,
Speaker 1: who are changing the bed every day, who are fluffing
Speaker 1: the pillow every day, I don't believe that they did
Speaker 1: not have the COVID and that some of them haven't died.
Speaker 1: Gio Bunny, I want to make sure I heard you
Speaker 1: that you said it's unfortunate that that Donald Trump didn't die. Yes,
Speaker 1: I thought it was great, greatly unfortunate. Now, huh, you
Speaker 1: didn't so you want him you wanted them to pass away? Well,
Speaker 1: of course it would have saved a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1: It's gonna come up. If I had been a Jew
Speaker 1: in Germany, I would have prayed that Hitler died. Of course,
Speaker 1: you want Trump to die because he's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 1: cause a lot of a lot of problems. He's already
Speaker 1: fired the National Security Director. But how many people would
Speaker 1: be saved if, right now, if, if, if Trump drop dead? See,
Speaker 1: that's just not something you know. We do know, No,
Speaker 1: I'm serious, we do know. If and go back to Hitler,
Speaker 1: because Hitler's the easy one. How many people? How many
Speaker 1: Jewish people? They were, like six million Jewish people. But
Speaker 1: then we had the soldiers. I don't know if your
Speaker 1: mothers and fathers fought in World War Two, but your
Speaker 1: grandparents probably did. How many soldiers had to die so
Speaker 1: that we could get rid of this guy? Think about it? Now,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I just you know, I just I
Speaker 1: don't like to wish death on people. But I can
Speaker 1: understand your perspective. I'm just saying for the for the
Speaker 1: you know, it's not personal, But I said that these
Speaker 1: people don't mind putting their their knee on George Floyd's neck.
Speaker 1: They don't mind shooting beyond a Taylor in her own bed,
Speaker 1: in her own house. They don't mind shooting a fourteen
Speaker 1: year old boy in the back who was unarmed, and
Speaker 1: then they want to get mad because I say something like,
Speaker 1: oh well yeah, be really good for him to drop
Speaker 1: dead poem to me already, just even you speaking these words,
Speaker 1: I can hear it drop dead. But Nikki Giovanni, I
Speaker 1: wish all right, we are more with Nikki Giova when
Speaker 1: we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club, God Morning,
Speaker 1: the breakfast club putting everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. We're still
Speaker 1: kicking it with Nikki Giovanni. Charlomagne. I'll watch your conversation
Speaker 1: with James Balling quite often, and there's so many gems
Speaker 1: that were in that conversation, like like you're talking about
Speaker 1: the language of love. What if the language of love
Speaker 1: to you? But right now you and I and you're
Speaker 1: like my son right now, but this is the language
Speaker 1: of love. We're honestly engaging in each other, We're honestly
Speaker 1: sharing with our community and whoever else wants to listen.
Speaker 1: We're not closing when as I said earlier, I don't
Speaker 1: lock the door, and we're not cutting off any communication here.
Speaker 1: Anybody wants to tune in can tune in. That's the
Speaker 1: language of love. We are communicating, and we are trying
Speaker 1: to help each other get through it because it's still
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. Yeah. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know it now, but there was such a discussion around
Speaker 1: your conversation with James Bowin, you know, especially the part
Speaker 1: where you said you want a man. You britically told
Speaker 1: him lie to me the way you lie to the
Speaker 1: white men I love. I will always remember Jimmy's face
Speaker 1: when I said that, because he just went like, oh,
Speaker 1: because he hadn't thought about it that way, because Jimmy
Speaker 1: knew that they do. We do lie to people who
Speaker 1: hate us. We smile at them in the morning. We
Speaker 1: do lie to the people who hate us. So if
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lie, lie to me, I'm
Speaker 1: the one trying to make you understand I love you.
Speaker 1: I'm the one trying to have a meal for you.
Speaker 1: You know, it's fascinating when you look at history, and
Speaker 1: I love history. It's fascinating when you look at the
Speaker 1: enslaved woman who got up before done and put on
Speaker 1: some food. One of the reasons that I and many
Speaker 1: other Southerners love food that cooks all day. Is that
Speaker 1: we got used to it from our grandmother's and they
Speaker 1: got used to it from their grandmothers. But she would
Speaker 1: put up hat on and a fire. She would then
Speaker 1: go out and to the field with him. They would
Speaker 1: work all day and when they came on that would
Speaker 1: be came home in this little shack. And you've seen
Speaker 1: slave shack, you've seen what they but they gave for
Speaker 1: black people to live in. But they would have food
Speaker 1: that was warm, that she had cooked, that they would eat.
Speaker 1: And that was love. And I think that we have
Speaker 1: to recognize the love that we gave. And of course,
Speaker 1: let me let me be really kill about that black
Speaker 1: men loved and still do black women. We don't have
Speaker 1: any history of black men beating black women doing slavery,
Speaker 1: don't have any history of that. So when did you
Speaker 1: learn it? You see what I'm saying, Well, we got
Speaker 1: to do this again because I do want to do
Speaker 1: a whole topic on love. I have to go catch
Speaker 1: a flight. Yeah you can step by. I gotta ask
Speaker 1: a couple more questions. I don't know what were gonna have.
Speaker 1: Nikki Giovanni on Okay, because you have a quote that
Speaker 1: I love and I wish era of cancel culture and
Speaker 1: more people would adopt it. You say mistakes are a
Speaker 1: fact of life. It is the response to the era
Speaker 1: that counts. Could you could you expand on that? Oh, no,
Speaker 1: that's quite true. People will get upset when they when
Speaker 1: they get upset if they have their wrong boyfriend or girlfriend.
Speaker 1: They get upset if they don't get the job they thought.
Speaker 1: People get upset because they think that life should be smooth,
Speaker 1: and we all are going to make mistakes. There's a
Speaker 1: reason pencils every racers. And one of the things that
Speaker 1: I am a firm believer in, and it's fine, I
Speaker 1: don't read my own I don't read. I seldom I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say don't, but very seldom read my old poetry.
Speaker 1: It's because I don't. I don't mind contradicting myself. And
Speaker 1: I would say that I teach it at here at
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. And one of the things I try to
Speaker 1: tell my students is don't involve yourself too much in
Speaker 1: your early writing, because if you do, you're trying not
Speaker 1: to contradict yourself. If you won't contradict yourself, you won't grow.
Speaker 1: And one of the sad things, and I knew I
Speaker 1: had the pleasure of knowing that she was my sorority sister,
Speaker 1: Aretha Franklin. But also I looked at a young Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I knew Michael, but not like we
Speaker 1: weren't friends. And what he did as a singer, what
Speaker 1: she did actually as a singer, what the Prince did
Speaker 1: as a singer is they kept singing the same song,
Speaker 1: and if you're singing the same song, eventually it wears
Speaker 1: you down. So we know that Prince. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: know that Prince was not, for example, a drug addict.
Speaker 1: Prince died because she had pills because of the pain.
Speaker 1: He was trying to dance. He was trying to put
Speaker 1: on high heel shoes and dance because he thought that's
Speaker 1: what people wanted. And of course, but that's what people wanted,
Speaker 1: to not leave the door open and go out and do.
Speaker 1: Because she's a great musician. It's a shame that we
Speaker 1: lost him because she wanted to be something that he
Speaker 1: had been finished with. Man, it was such a pleasure.
Speaker 1: You know, everything you're saying is amazing, and it gives
Speaker 1: me such a better understanding of myself. And that's what
Speaker 1: a wise woman once said, If you don't understand yourself.
Speaker 1: You don't understand anyone else. Now, wise woman was miss
Speaker 1: Nikki Giovanni. So thank you. Go pick up the book
Speaker 1: Make Me Rain Poems and Pros, Miss Giovanni. It was
Speaker 1: a pleasure. Oh thank you, it's my pleasure. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. It's a breakfast club. It's time to shoot

Speaker 1: time allows. I'm a nurse, so sometimes I work up,
Speaker 1: you know, all day all night. But um, you know,
Speaker 1: we go out and you guys talking to call y'all
Speaker 1: FaceTime and all that. Sometimes. Yeah, and he texts a lot?
Speaker 1: Does he text you? Good? Marning Bay? I miss you
Speaker 1: thinking of you of course. Okay, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know how this is gonna work. Man, are you
Speaker 1: prepared for your brother to tell you that this guy
Speaker 1: has been smashing a whole bunch of other chicks and
Speaker 1: you just another one in a long line. True? Or
Speaker 1: maybe he's a good guy and he would love for
Speaker 1: his sister to be with his good friend. With that
Speaker 1: all right, but let's see what happens. Hope for the best.
Speaker 1: The only one way to find out is your brother big,
Speaker 1: because if not, I'm sure he's gonna beat the hell
Speaker 1: out of this guy. They've been first for a long time.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be any problems them. Let's
Speaker 1: shoot your shot. Is hopeful the best? What's for the worst,
Speaker 1: because the worst always leads for better ratings for us.
Speaker 1: Now we have Nisha on the line. Now, Nisha, we're
Speaker 1: about to call Andre now, so let's call him. Hello, Hey, Andre,
Speaker 1: this is nia Um. I wanted to call it and
Speaker 1: talk to you about something that as then my mind
Speaker 1: for a minute. Oh boy, push me, no boy, what's up?
Speaker 1: I think it's telling we tell my brother that you know,
Speaker 1: we together together little which we were together, which you
Speaker 1: mean we're together? We're not together now because we're on
Speaker 1: the load, like you act like you're scary, you don't
Speaker 1: want to tell my brother what we've been doing, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, forget it, Like, let's just tell him, tell
Speaker 1: the family so we could be together. So now this
Speaker 1: is why I didn't even want to go down this
Speaker 1: rabbit hole with you, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 1: you know, just because we've messing around on me will
Speaker 1: be together, you know what I mean? Whatever, Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not together now. Yeah, but see what we first started
Speaker 1: messing around. What the first things we said was we
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna you know, no feelings, and you know, we're
Speaker 1: just having fun. You know. That's why I don't understand
Speaker 1: what you calling me with this all a lot of
Speaker 1: left field right now. This is how you treat a
Speaker 1: woman that you don't have any feelings for. Listen, it's
Speaker 1: just we're just having fun day. I don't understand. You know,
Speaker 1: of course I care for you, you know you're my friend.
Speaker 1: You know I definitely care for you, But you know,
Speaker 1: all of that relationship stuff, I'm not trying to hear that.
Speaker 1: And I'm definitely not trying to tell this dude or
Speaker 1: the family or anybody else. You know, what we do
Speaker 1: was between us school no, not anymore between the whole
Speaker 1: breakfast club listening audience too. Well, it's DJ v Angela, Ye,
Speaker 1: Charlomne the guy bro. Now you said you didn't want
Speaker 1: to go down that rabbit hole, but you didn't go
Speaker 1: down the rabbit hole. You went down your friend's sisters
Speaker 1: kittycat hole. Oh my goodness, oh my god. Now you
Speaker 1: got me. Now you got me on the radio, like,
Speaker 1: are you serious? That's what you get from messing with
Speaker 1: a little sis. I can't believe you right now, that's right,
Speaker 1: I can't believe you. You got me on the breakfast
Speaker 1: club like everybody listening to it. Yeah, all right, So
Speaker 1: so Andre, you're being honest though you guys are just
Speaker 1: sleeping around. You don't want to be with her? No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I'm not trying to do all that.
Speaker 1: I mean, Nitia, He's honest with you. You know it
Speaker 1: now to you if you decide no, I mean listening
Speaker 1: you you gotta stop playing if you don't want a
Speaker 1: girl to think that you don't want to be with hers,
Speaker 1: and you gotta stop doing the stuff that you do.
Speaker 1: You treat me mad a nice. Well he should still
Speaker 1: treat you at nice. But yeah, you mean you're going
Speaker 1: around you're just eating mad booty. You ask everywhere you go,
Speaker 1: eat all your friends sisters ass Andre, You're a sereal
Speaker 1: ass eater. You're a serial sister as eat. She gave
Speaker 1: me first wow. Okay, okay, I may say y'all did
Speaker 1: a sixty nine in the ball. Yeah, it sounds like
Speaker 1: y'all belong together if you ask me. But okay, but
Speaker 1: instead of time to disrespect each other, I guess what
Speaker 1: it is, Nitia. He don't want to be with you
Speaker 1: like that. So if you still want to continue to
Speaker 1: mess with him because he treats you nice, that's on you.
Speaker 1: But just know it's not a relationship. Well, he might
Speaker 1: not want to be with me, but he's gonna have
Speaker 1: to tell my brother something because I'm pregnant. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I didn't I tell us this. Are you? Are you
Speaker 1: really pregnant? Yeah? I really am. I'm taking my ball
Speaker 1: and going home now. I'm gonna be honest with you, Andrew.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe it because women sometimes
Speaker 1: women do one or two things in this situation. Neither
Speaker 1: say they're pregnant or they say you raped them. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think it's mind. I don't think it's mind. What. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's not the way to go. You think she's a
Speaker 1: home Yeah, I don't think it's no what just having fun?
Speaker 1: And I don't know what you're out there doing now
Speaker 1: you talking about the fun include condoms. Lady is gonna
Speaker 1: be named it's gonna be named fun then, because that's
Speaker 1: what happened with Andrew Wayne condoms misia. Yes, not all
Speaker 1: the time, all the time, all the time. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: well guys, I think you guys need to hit the
Speaker 1: list one. This was a little too far out of
Speaker 1: our tax bracket. Yeah, Andrew, I hope that you enjoyed
Speaker 1: your little fun, because now you're about to have a
Speaker 1: little fun on the way. Okay, said I name the
Speaker 1: next thing she's gonna be saying it's you your song? Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't be disrespectful. That might be your child's mother. Are
Speaker 1: you gonna tell Andre now? I mean you're gonna tell
Speaker 1: her brother? Now? No, No, that's not much. She's not pregnant,
Speaker 1: you know, and she's crazy, you know, and she's calling
Speaker 1: up here a radio station to do it this unless
Speaker 1: she's crazy. Now, did you guys have did you guys

Speaker 1: he said no. She listen, get his ass literally, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's nothing please even say. I mean, he out here
Speaker 1: obviously in the street, just doing all types of stuff dirty.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get what comes to him. But that's fine.
Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with anything. You don't want
Speaker 1: to tell my brother, Fine, I'm gonna tell him. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna also tell him I'm pregnant. So either way, you're
Speaker 1: gonna deal with it. All right. Well, well, guys, it's
Speaker 1: not trying to be mean or anything, but I can't
Speaker 1: do this with you because I got a girl, you

Speaker 1: have thought about that. Andre thought about that. A member
Speaker 1: of the faithful male community. Okaya, Basically, you've been cheating
Speaker 1: on your girlfriend and you didn't even let her know
Speaker 1: you had a girlfriend. So now this happens. Uh, Well,

Speaker 1: We just don't want to fight God, listen, my last
Speaker 1: name is Pinkett Smith went Free knows Carter. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: cool over here, all right, just make it sure now.
Speaker 1: I'm a Cowboy fanatic too. They always give me flack
Speaker 1: of this thing. I'm from South Carolina, so I shouldn't
Speaker 1: root from the Cowboys. How do you do it? Being
Speaker 1: from New York and you know you got the Giants
Speaker 1: and the Jets. How could you be a Cowboys fan
Speaker 1: in this city? I grew up my pop. It's really
Speaker 1: my pop Fart, you know, and here he grew up
Speaker 1: in Yeah, that that era, that that era. Those guys
Speaker 1: who you know, wanted that. That whole cowboy lifestyle. All
Speaker 1: those guys was on coking. Uh, definitely got the whole
Speaker 1: thing packed. I could give you the whole profile. Did
Speaker 1: you have bathro Yeah? Absolutely? But I bet your dad
Speaker 1: didn't take somebody at the Cowboys Jets game like Charlemagne's dad.
Speaker 1: He's a real fanatic. He did at first game Cowboys
Speaker 1: Jets at the met like stadium like in this Yes,
Speaker 1: got arrested. Let him in with it. You got into
Speaker 1: a fight with some jests. Serious. I definitely wanted to
Speaker 1: put that on the profile. Type of that type of
Speaker 1: fan and my Pops team, so I couldn't, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I had to watch you growing up. I was shocked
Speaker 1: at one thing on Twitter when you said that Magna
Speaker 1: Carta Holy Grail you thought was fighting for fourth place
Speaker 1: as far as best albums. I mean only fourth places,
Speaker 1: but I mean fighting for that three. You gotta fight
Speaker 1: reasonab moved out Blueprint in the Black Album. That's that's
Speaker 1: just hard. Is that the order you put it in?
Speaker 1: Reasonable Doubt? Reason moved out, Well, yeah, it's the first
Speaker 1: album I mate, because you know that's that's the joint.
Speaker 1: I took my whole life to me. Reason moved out,
Speaker 1: then Blueprint in the Black Album, and sometimes I switched
Speaker 1: the Blueprint Black album. Don't don't tell them, Abody. Is
Speaker 1: it hard because you're competing againt yourself. You know, you
Speaker 1: can't compare to me. You can't compare Holy Grail a
Speaker 1: Reasonable Doubt all the blue Print. It was different times
Speaker 1: in your life. True, That's part of the reason why
Speaker 1: I put it forth. It's very difficult to like recreate
Speaker 1: those times. Those times was like, obviously you can't bring
Speaker 1: those times back, but just for it to be so high,
Speaker 1: it says what I think about it, what's the inspiration?
Speaker 1: Because I know used to say big, what was inspired
Speaker 1: you to just spare nas? But do you get inspired
Speaker 1: by artists now the ever I grew up in it's
Speaker 1: like biggie nas, you know, two pockets. It's very difficult
Speaker 1: to compare to those, to those guys. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: inspired by my previous work, so that's I have to
Speaker 1: measure myself against that. And because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: the music to me, it doesn't I know, it makes
Speaker 1: you sound like an old head. Made me sound like, oh,
Speaker 1: but it just don't sound the same. It don't feel
Speaker 1: the same. That's good music. It's just it's just you
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta mind for it. But that's what happened,
Speaker 1: you know when when anything successful, Like people were rapping
Speaker 1: because they loved the rap, and then it became this business,
Speaker 1: this multi billion dollar business. So people that didn't even
Speaker 1: care to rap was like, I figure out how to
Speaker 1: get some money in this. So you had people who
Speaker 1: could rap a little bit and saw it as a hustle.
Speaker 1: Then you had guy's CEO's rapping. No this is no no,
Speaker 1: just respect to anyone. Just to be clear. You have
Speaker 1: people rapping like Yo, you should rap like big Toe
Speaker 1: Puff you should rap. Puff wasn't a rapper, you know,
Speaker 1: he was Puff, you know what I'm saying. So, and
Speaker 1: he's so seven million records. He may be more about now,
Speaker 1: you know, with the catalog, but he's so seven million
Speaker 1: records of No Way Out. He never rapped before. So
Speaker 1: when people see that, they emulate that. So now you
Speaker 1: got all kinds of CEOs rapping, and now you have
Speaker 1: I'm a CEO rapping. So um, it's flooded with guys
Speaker 1: who aren't rappers. So you just gotta mind it and
Speaker 1: you got your fine good music. Still it's just more difficult,
Speaker 1: so fine, So Puff, after game of what nat what?
Speaker 1: What arders of yours did you signed? Are you more
Speaker 1: proud of? Because you're responsible for a lot of careers
Speaker 1: out of it? Wow, you have to say Kanye West
Speaker 1: the most successful at this stage of his career and
Speaker 1: his growth and the and the progress that he's made,
Speaker 1: It's like it's unbelievable, you know. Like when he first
Speaker 1: came in, it was he wasn't that the artist that
Speaker 1: he is today, you know, but he always aspired to
Speaker 1: be from that moment, Like from the moment he walked
Speaker 1: through the door when he was just the producer, not
Speaker 1: just the producer. When he was the producer, you know,
Speaker 1: he had it in his eyes. He was saying stuff like,
Speaker 1: you know, I am the saving of Chicago, and I
Speaker 1: was like, what are you even talking about? You don't
Speaker 1: even have a single. But he proved to be prophetic
Speaker 1: in that way. What did you think of Y's album,
Speaker 1: last album, Jesus? I liked it, like I come on,
Speaker 1: how the ten records? I give him four? That's good.
Speaker 1: That's like forty percent of a record. That's pretty good. Man.
Speaker 1: He's got an amazing catalog though, like she should never
Speaker 1: put out anything that people even consider itself part Jesus.
Speaker 1: But some people love that album, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: what great UTI is is polarizing. Some people love it.
Speaker 1: You know. It forced you to have an opinion, like
Speaker 1: you know, Lesia, not like wish you ash about it,
Speaker 1: you know, and force you to have an opinion, which
Speaker 1: is good and I think it's needed, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's needed because what tends to happen is someone has
Speaker 1: to experiment and go do it first, and then artists
Speaker 1: sit back and watch it and be like Okay, I
Speaker 1: like this. I don't like that, you know, I like
Speaker 1: this part. And they're perfective methods. And then you know,
Speaker 1: and it all pushes j genre forward, which is good.
Speaker 1: And that's what he does. He's only he's like the cowboy.
Speaker 1: You know. He runs over the hill and then you know,
Speaker 1: the Indians hit him with the arrows and then he
Speaker 1: comes back like yo, it's a lot of them over there,
Speaker 1: and then we go over there and conquer. What's your
Speaker 1: reaction whenever you hit him like denounced corporations, being that
Speaker 1: you are such a corporated See as you know, I
Speaker 1: think all you know, as an individual, I respect that.
Speaker 1: It's what he chooses to do. Me myself, I can
Speaker 1: operate in that venue. I can operate, you know. I
Speaker 1: can walk that line between putting out great art and
Speaker 1: you know, getting paid from my art. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not one of those that they could talk to and
Speaker 1: be like, you're you're an artist, you shouldn't have money,
Speaker 1: Like that's the gas they hit you with. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't want any money. I want to be a pure
Speaker 1: artist and I don't want to have the music business.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, you should any artists, any artists,
Speaker 1: not Kanye West, any artists. They should just record in
Speaker 1: their basement in the bood. Into the music business like
Speaker 1: to consume music too fast because you create these amazing moments,
Speaker 1: but then the moment it's fleeting as soon as you
Speaker 1: put the abut it's like people in on it for
Speaker 1: a few days. Then okay, Jay Coole came out, while
Speaker 1: it comes out the next week, while it's out, now
Speaker 1: holds out you know what I mean. Yeah, again, the
Speaker 1: time that we're end right, we have to figure out.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's up to the individual to figure out
Speaker 1: how to slow it down, because you know, it's just
Speaker 1: going faster and faster. Everything is moving, you know, quicker.
Speaker 1: You know, information is going quicker. You know it's again
Speaker 1: like you said, you know, these these great things are fleeting.
Speaker 1: They're going faster and faster, and it's up to the
Speaker 1: individual to slow it down and be like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: living with this album. This is what I choose to
Speaker 1: ride too. This is gonna be the sound track to
Speaker 1: my life for these next couple months. That's something I'm saying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's an individual thing. I'm not gonna let anybody
Speaker 1: speed up my process. I don't care what's happen and
Speaker 1: then out there that's that's that's the great thing about
Speaker 1: you know, having ultimate confidence in yourself is it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what's happened, and I don't care what's happening. I
Speaker 1: don't care what you on or this person's on. This
Speaker 1: is what I like telling me. For me, you ever
Speaker 1: got to watch your lyrics because you know, things you
Speaker 1: say people take literally. Like I remember watching the press
Speaker 1: conference at the White House and they're quoting jay Z
Speaker 1: lyrics about something that you said. You ever be like, man,
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't have said that. Nah, I'm an artist.
Speaker 1: I have the creative license to say whatever whatever I
Speaker 1: feel at that moment. You know, I find things funny,
Speaker 1: like you know, the Obama thing Obama said, the irony
Speaker 1: and that the fact that people really believe that, and
Speaker 1: it really was like you lie like you believe that
Speaker 1: you do say hastacks acts only. Yeah, yeah, irony. You
Speaker 1: gotta have some irony and music, you know, an age
Speaker 1: old hood question. I always say that you put too
Speaker 1: much pressure on belief because early in his career you
Speaker 1: said he was gonna be the new improved jay Z
Speaker 1: and he was good, but everybody was waiting on him
Speaker 1: to be that, so you feel like you might kind
Speaker 1: of you know, Yeah, it's just a little brother, like
Speaker 1: almost a little brother syndrome. He had it. He had
Speaker 1: it more so than anybody because he really grew up
Speaker 1: with me. He really grew up in you know, on
Speaker 1: the third floor and the same projects from me, So
Speaker 1: he really had it. He had my shadow on him, uh,
Speaker 1: you know the whole time. So whether I said those
Speaker 1: things or not, it was just there. You know, me
Speaker 1: saying those things was actually trying to deflect them, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to deflect some of it away from him. I
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to put more on him. It was just
Speaker 1: like elephant in the room. You walk in the room,
Speaker 1: like everybody's thinking, Yo, that's the you know, that's the
Speaker 1: next guy. It's just natural. I never saw you do
Speaker 1: that with any of your other artists. Afterwards, I wondered
Speaker 1: if that was something you said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna ever do that. Yeah, he was just again,
Speaker 1: he was just one of a kind, like he really
Speaker 1: was from the like you know, vow his mother. I
Speaker 1: used to go and then like foul open the door
Speaker 1: and drag him off the house. You know. So he
Speaker 1: was a unique guy and he's been very loyal to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bleak is an amazing soul. He's an incredible person. Always.
Speaker 1: People don't you don't you know how much pressure people
Speaker 1: putting on you should have one hundred million dollars, you know,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I'm realistic things. Bleak gets busy in the street.
Speaker 1: He'll come see you too. If you say the wrong thing,
Speaker 1: he'll definitely come to see you. I don't know, not
Speaker 1: of recent, but you don't pump Bleak up definitely comes. Okay,
Speaker 1: question as a fan, is it ever awkward when you're
Speaker 1: in the room with us, because that either takeover beef
Speaker 1: what y'all wasn't light? It was disrespectful. Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was a time. There was a moment of time
Speaker 1: that was a great moment for hip hop. But for us,
Speaker 1: you know, we really have a good relationship. We laugh,
Speaker 1: We don't even that thing is so far past, and
Speaker 1: I understand why even today that thing is eleven years
Speaker 1: old maybe longer, and like people still fascinated with it,
Speaker 1: but it's so far removed. It's so far in the background.
Speaker 1: That is that now we're not we're not all around
Speaker 1: each other at all for both of you. It's not like, Okay,
Speaker 1: now this guy just destroyed me, because that happens sometimes
Speaker 1: with beef. But you guys both were successful still after that.
Speaker 1: You even more so, You've heard a lot of careers,
Speaker 1: as she wants to say, you know, rappers competitive, you know,
Speaker 1: it's competitive. Each time I went out, I put my
Speaker 1: I put my my career on the line as well,
Speaker 1: you know, like that could have happened to me. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody wanted it to happen, like, yeah they did. It
Speaker 1: was it was a time it was like, please please
Speaker 1: let this guy go away. That's just the nature of
Speaker 1: rap is competitive, and you know every time you go
Speaker 1: out there, you put in your career on the line.
Speaker 1: Would you ever do a King of New York album
Speaker 1: with nas like how you and you did watch the
Speaker 1: Throwe not? Probably not at this point, you know, like
Speaker 1: any other collaboration album would have to be with Kanye
Speaker 1: because you know this chemistry there and we already know
Speaker 1: how we work, and I don't really have the time
Speaker 1: to really like just figure out those situations and how
Speaker 1: a person works, and it's hard to do. It's hard
Speaker 1: to do, especially you're gonna make something great. The hardest
Speaker 1: thing ever was, you know, going through those all Kelly albums.
Speaker 1: It's just you just never know how the situation is
Speaker 1: gonna turn out. It's a it's an X factor that
Speaker 1: you can't even calculate in your mind that you know
Speaker 1: can can happen at any moment that you'd be like
Speaker 1: in the hotel ready to make an announcement. It's like,
Speaker 1: what what just happened? We had we had Jada kiss
Speaker 1: up here and we were talking about when it comes
Speaker 1: to trying to get you on the phone and trying
Speaker 1: to get some master spinning people, sounds like real talk
Speaker 1: to me though, you know that's yeah, kids can get
Speaker 1: me on the phone anytime. You have a lot of
Speaker 1: New York artists complaining about the state of New York pop.
Speaker 1: You are a New York artist over the years, have
Speaker 1: you looked at New York and said, what's going on
Speaker 1: with with with our city musically? Uh? Yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: just a thing. That's just the way music moves. You know,
Speaker 1: it was out out, wear out, down South or you
Speaker 1: know whatever, that's that's the way it moves. Complaining does
Speaker 1: nothing make music? Make some great music, And that's st
Speaker 1: end of it. I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 1: You know, holds like I'm too busy winning the world
Speaker 1: here that complains. I don't no, I just don't care
Speaker 1: about it. It's it's like it's almost like a loser's mentality.
Speaker 1: It's like everyone so spoil you. Like it's it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, he won't let me shine. I even
Speaker 1: heard someone say, like, Yo, why Jay won't let Kanye.
Speaker 1: I'm like, let Kanye. Kanye's Kanye. He's gonna, he's gonna,
Speaker 1: he's gonna do what he does. That's loses mentality. When
Speaker 1: we were gonna sound like one of them, one of
Speaker 1: those drafts when we were coming up. You know, my
Speaker 1: albums came out with Outcast, Lauren Q, all of them
Speaker 1: in one week. You know, everybody did good. You know,
Speaker 1: look at look at the chart now it's it's Leet
Speaker 1: number one, shameless plug Rock Nation managed artist Jay Cole,
Speaker 1: which probably go to number one next week for the
Speaker 1: first time ever. But he'll go to next number one.
Speaker 1: Rock Nation and his Kanye everyone's flourishing. You gotta be
Speaker 1: out You gotta be able to compete. Still shopping. Still,
Speaker 1: you gotta get out there and you gotta earn your spot.
Speaker 1: It's not given. It's such a spoil you brat loses
Speaker 1: mentality does it's it's it's annoyance. Fatherhood changed you at all?
Speaker 1: Oh as far as lyrics, as right? As far as lyrics,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking right now? Is similar? Right? No, I got
Speaker 1: a new one. I'm thinking of similar pampas right now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely. You know? How was jazz a dad?
Speaker 1: I hope, I'm great, but I'm learning again. It's a
Speaker 1: new thing for me and change me in the way
Speaker 1: that just knowing what's important. But I had a pretty
Speaker 1: good sense to that. But it just reaffirmed all the
Speaker 1: things that I believed I knew. Now, how are you
Speaker 1: with with you know the reason the master? Because I'm
Speaker 1: going through now? So how were you with every two
Speaker 1: hours the baby getting up and changing pampas a similar way?
Speaker 1: An army man? You ain't do that that I mean,
Speaker 1: of course, but come on man, it's hard. Man. Can
Speaker 1: I ask you a question? Um? The first thing I
Speaker 1: thought when I heard about the questions the rack Nation
Speaker 1: sport you have to give up your seats at the
Speaker 1: Barclay Center. No open part was true, Okay, I just
Speaker 1: want to make sure, because you know what you own
Speaker 1: the building. I'm still there. No, because I used to
Speaker 1: be able to go to the next games and sitting
Speaker 1: your seats because you never loaded. Don't want you good
Speaker 1: write you in four games a year for you moving
Speaker 1: into sports management? Does it fail to you? Like a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't want you to succeed because they're
Speaker 1: saying that's a really tough business. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: agents that feel like, well, what does jay Z know
Speaker 1: about sports management? And he hasn't done this, and he
Speaker 1: hasn't done that yet. But they have that belief that
Speaker 1: they you can only do one thing. You know, we
Speaker 1: we we don't. We don't have that. We don't We're
Speaker 1: not inflicted with that disease. You know, I can walk
Speaker 1: into gum. You know. It's it's like it's it's insane
Speaker 1: to even say that what you know about sports, it's
Speaker 1: like everything more than you you know. And as far
Speaker 1: as business, those guys have been sitting around just doing
Speaker 1: the typical thing. Right, they get the athlete, they get them,
Speaker 1: knock on the same doors, they go to Nike, you know,
Speaker 1: they do the contract and they sit back anything else.
Speaker 1: So they've been sitting around for twenty thirty years, just
Speaker 1: not doing anything, same formula. Yeah, so me coming, that's
Speaker 1: a problem for them because now they have to go
Speaker 1: to work. Now, they have to wake up, now they
Speaker 1: have to do things. So they don't want me to.
Speaker 1: They don't want me around because now they have to
Speaker 1: they have to do something for these athletes. They don't
Speaker 1: even care about that. That's why those guys go broke
Speaker 1: in four years. It's like a shame like this, Like
Speaker 1: it's an average, it's three to four years. We're talking
Speaker 1: about guys who were signing for ninety million, eighty six
Speaker 1: million dollars are broken four years. That's terrible money management.
Speaker 1: But because Skis, guys don't care. They're just taking whatever's
Speaker 1: gonna get them a check and they're not even worrying
Speaker 1: about all that we're doing all of that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: been an ongoing problem with sports, but athletes going bro
Speaker 1: But then you have people who say, what does jay
Speaker 1: Z know about money? Yeah? People always say if if
Speaker 1: Biggie had in the past, hole wouldn't be here. I
Speaker 1: knew you've heard that before. That's just that's ridiculous, right,
Speaker 1: that's that's I mean, I was here, why Biggie was here.
Speaker 1: You know, some people say you made your best material
Speaker 1: when he was here. Yeah, I think I think I
Speaker 1: think just just us again, like I said, still shopping, Still,
Speaker 1: the way we were working in the album that we
Speaker 1: were going to create together would have only made me better. Um,
Speaker 1: you know as a lyricists so and then and it's
Speaker 1: just like you know, that's that's God's plan. You know,
Speaker 1: this God's plan is just like saying Biggie wouldn't be
Speaker 1: here if you know rock Kim had if rock Kim
Speaker 1: had been on the Faith remix or like it's like
Speaker 1: like it's like you can make up any scenario in
Speaker 1: your mind why a person shouldn't be here or person
Speaker 1: wouldn't uh attain the success that they have. But I
Speaker 1: personally don't believe anybody could could stop me. I really
Speaker 1: that's just how I believe it was gonna be. I
Speaker 1: was coming and I was destined to be here, and
Speaker 1: it just it just is what it is. Why people
Speaker 1: can't give you that the why? Why is it you
Speaker 1: got to be something else, a little big, big with
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be like that, he's in illuminaty. Why can't
Speaker 1: you just be good and successful nowadays? Uh? That's a
Speaker 1: very philosophical question, because you have you know, you have to.
Speaker 1: I can only assume, right, I can only assume because
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer that except that, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes people's success, you know, make people feel instead of saying, Wow,
Speaker 1: that person's successful, and uh, I'm in spite where some
Speaker 1: people are. Some people like that person's successful. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: striving on be exactly where they are. And some people
Speaker 1: are just like you got the reverse attitude, like their
Speaker 1: success means my failure. So I'd hate that success. So
Speaker 1: I have to I have to make some kind of
Speaker 1: explanation of why they're here and why they shouldn't be here,
Speaker 1: and then why they wouldn't be here if this person
Speaker 1: was here? Who thinks like that? If you take that
Speaker 1: longer to think, if you take that longer more so
Speaker 1: in hip hop coach, if you take that long to
Speaker 1: think about someone why they shouldn't be here, and you're
Speaker 1: good and you should be doing something with that intelligence.
Speaker 1: You should apply that intelligence to something else. Absolutely, boom,
Speaker 1: we can't get fool again. We clear. These two are
Speaker 1: argued about who knew Jay the longest? Who too? Angela
Speaker 1: and dj Envy Okay, No, I definitely knew Nvy before Ange.
Speaker 1: I told my Numb before marriage. But I was on
Speaker 1: the hook to when it was that wax No, No,
Speaker 1: I think I need to help y'all back up in
Speaker 1: an apartment in Brooke when I knew you. I think
Speaker 1: I think I might have known you longer than Envy though,
Speaker 1: imagine because I should have bought that taping because when
Speaker 1: I first met you, you were giving out Cassette's a
Speaker 1: Dead President's single. Yeah, I had to record the album first.
Speaker 1: It was a single though it wasn't the whole album.
Speaker 1: It was no but I'm saying I had to record it.
Speaker 1: He was he was there first. I'm gonna just give
Speaker 1: him well. Shortly thereafter that's when he was DJ Shrimp.
Speaker 1: It was definitely j Do you ever feel sorry for
Speaker 1: Damon dash Man whenever you hear about like his financial
Speaker 1: problems and things like that. Dame Dames a hustler. Damon
Speaker 1: figured out like they ain't very smart. Guy can't figure
Speaker 1: it out. He was definitely playing your album and on Instagram,
Speaker 1: sweet Nah. It was the barbershop Bob and his head
Speaker 1: crazy to it. He said he liked it. He said
Speaker 1: he felt like he was a part of that. He
Speaker 1: knows you're telling the truth. I feel like, you know what,
Speaker 1: people gotta understanding. Nothing's gonna change the way I feel
Speaker 1: about Damon, you know, no matter not no time or space,
Speaker 1: no separation or anything. I got love for Damon Dash
Speaker 1: the same way as I did before. I don't know
Speaker 1: if we can be around each other and that in
Speaker 1: that way because times are changed. You know, he may
Speaker 1: be a totally different person. I know I'm a different
Speaker 1: person um, but nothing can erase that error and the
Speaker 1: things that we you know, those times, those memories and
Speaker 1: those fights that we had, you know, to get Rockefeller
Speaker 1: where it was. It just is what it is. Nothing's
Speaker 1: gonna change. You know, There'll be some you know, minor
Speaker 1: things in the middle that are getting away, but those
Speaker 1: things go away, and then the relationship remains and those
Speaker 1: memories remain. That's we did something great. We built something
Speaker 1: that's gonna be here forever. That it's gonna be talked
Speaker 1: about forever. They will always be you know, loved it.
Speaker 1: What was your worst son? He at Rockefeller? The worst
Speaker 1: person just didn't a middle fellow. I'm sorry. Now I
Speaker 1: want to say Meal album. You should listen to it.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that good? It was good man, you had a
Speaker 1: reggae song as well. Yeah, it was you really responsible
Speaker 1: for that. Let more, I'm not gonna put nobody on
Speaker 1: that one. I didn't seem like, oh take that. I
Speaker 1: didn't see it like that one for the team, the
Speaker 1: dirty sign and didn't seem like, oh yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take that. I'm gonna take all that for the team.
Speaker 1: What was the worst talking Uh, let me think about that,
Speaker 1: and what was the artist you passed upon that you
Speaker 1: could have had that you signed And I don't know
Speaker 1: if we passed on anyone that was that turned out
Speaker 1: to be great? Yeah, true that though I don't know
Speaker 1: if we passed on anybody that could have that was
Speaker 1: great because we signed everybody that every Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's not even like a real thing. But it's funny
Speaker 1: when when you look at the game and you know,
Speaker 1: you look at where you're at now and you look
Speaker 1: at the pits you came up in the nineties, did
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, I knew I was gonna be
Speaker 1: here and I knew those guys were gonna be there.
Speaker 1: And I'm asking you that because I want to know
Speaker 1: what you think of the game now, and who's gonna
Speaker 1: be here ten years from now? Oh yeah, because I
Speaker 1: wanted to be here, you know, And I saw a
Speaker 1: lot of people let opportunities go. So I was like,
Speaker 1: oh that then he's not gonna be around. Why why
Speaker 1: aren't you doing this? If I had that, I'll be
Speaker 1: doing this. And I think about it in strategic moves,
Speaker 1: you know. I remember one time walking in the studio
Speaker 1: Bleek Beans. Everybody was in there and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, y'all got a chance right now,
Speaker 1: just flooded put out a lot of music because fifty
Speaker 1: cent is coming. Four months later in the club hitting
Speaker 1: it was over, but it was just like, okay, now
Speaker 1: everybody got to sit on the sidelines and wait and
Speaker 1: wait this tight wave out. So like just seeing things
Speaker 1: like that. I remember when you were to sign Wayne
Speaker 1: before Wayne, Yeah it took off. Yeah, so you have
Speaker 1: that kind of vision. So who do you see now
Speaker 1: that's gonna be good ten years from them? I mean
Speaker 1: obviously Jay cole Um, Drake, absolutely, Uh, Kendrick as well.
Speaker 1: I think just On he's talented, very talented, but just
Speaker 1: on on share will and wanting it, while AI is
Speaker 1: gonna be here as well. And I don't want to stretch.
Speaker 1: I'm sure other people, but you know, I just want
Speaker 1: you know, now you mentioned a little Wayne with I
Speaker 1: know that you guys were this closest sign of way
Speaker 1: what happened with that deal, because I mean it got
Speaker 1: to I mean, Wayne was damn they saying he was
Speaker 1: Rockefeller and then it just went left. The truth is
Speaker 1: that it's the first time I was told this truth.
Speaker 1: I had a meeting with Wayne. You know, I had
Speaker 1: a relationship with Baby, so you know, I used to
Speaker 1: go to New Orleans. I would hang out with Hi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me and the purple little um whatever that car was
Speaker 1: membe him purple with little cars and proudly going down
Speaker 1: the street. You know, no top people wanted trying to
Speaker 1: jump in the car. I felt it was only right
Speaker 1: to call him, you know, I called them out of respect,
Speaker 1: like yo, I was talking to Wayne or just letting
Speaker 1: you know, boom boom boom. After that, I think we
Speaker 1: received a letter at our office for like tortuous interference
Speaker 1: Lloyd and I was like whoa sports, It was like
Speaker 1: whoa And it just all went from there. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think I would rather lose that situation than do
Speaker 1: the right thing than the opposite. You know, I could
Speaker 1: I think I could have just I couldn't. I could
Speaker 1: have signed him. I could have signed him and then
Speaker 1: told him after. But you know I did the right thing.
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm cool with that decision. How close were
Speaker 1: you really spinking way when he threw that shot at
Speaker 1: the wife? No, I was. It was all right, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's part of the sport in the competition. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't take it serious. I didn't view it as
Speaker 1: a threat. I thought it was just a flip of
Speaker 1: a line that I said because I said, uh, ain't
Speaker 1: got my wifee money. I wasn't really speaking to him.
Speaker 1: But he's holding the flag. So he did the right
Speaker 1: thing for his camp. And uh, but I didn't take
Speaker 1: it as a real threat. I took it as a
Speaker 1: flip of a line. Another hood question, young Chris, your
Speaker 1: former artists, how much did he influence you because a
Speaker 1: lot of people say you took his style and he
Speaker 1: took yours. Well, you know, with all due respect to Chris,
Speaker 1: he was an amazing artist. You know, he did amazing things.
Speaker 1: But you know, the music is there. You know, I
Speaker 1: made records before Chris and after him. You know, so
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even I don't even know how
Speaker 1: to answer that. It's like the weirdest thing in the
Speaker 1: world to me, Like you've heard this off before the
Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no no, I never heard that.
Speaker 1: It's weird to me. It's like I get pulled in
Speaker 1: the office by the pet. Why did you ask Jay that?
Speaker 1: I'm like just being on the internet for years now,
Speaker 1: is there any rumor that you've ever heard that made
Speaker 1: you be like, all right, this is weird all the time? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we one you want to start with when they say
Speaker 1: that Beyonce they didn't really have the baby. That's that,
Speaker 1: you know, that's a good one. That's probably the most
Speaker 1: ridiculous thing I've ever heard. And the fact that people
Speaker 1: would really like running with that and running up with
Speaker 1: it and have follow up story because at first I
Speaker 1: thought I thought it was a you know, one of
Speaker 1: those get pressed things like, you know, like, let's run
Speaker 1: with this for press, And I was slowly like, oh,
Speaker 1: y'all believe this, right, it's not going so far like,
Speaker 1: oh y'all, y'all really believed this, And it's that and
Speaker 1: that's really kind of that's messed up because like the
Speaker 1: time where you're supposed to be most joyous, you got
Speaker 1: life and you you know, and the whole thing you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be a joyous time. For you to have
Speaker 1: to like deal with that, whether you care about it
Speaker 1: or not, is annoying and you shouldn't have to really
Speaker 1: deal with that as a human being. But you know,
Speaker 1: that's the position that we're in. You know, you don't
Speaker 1: matter how many times you say that Beyonce is really pregnant,
Speaker 1: people gonna believe what they want to believe anyway. So
Speaker 1: I mean, why I waste my time? And sometimes you
Speaker 1: respond to something that brings a way more attention to
Speaker 1: it too, that too, and it's just yeah, it goes
Speaker 1: into another space. You know, I got a great life.
Speaker 1: You know, whatever comes with it, even ridiculous room is
Speaker 1: about anything. It's nothing, it's nothing. It's nothing compared to
Speaker 1: what you know, where I've been. Do you ever have
Speaker 1: that conversation with you like, yeah, it's just the papa
Speaker 1: roxy that's not a real problem. Yeah, all the time. Okay,
Speaker 1: when you see him hit his head on that stop side,
Speaker 1: did you laugh, I'm just cars, did you laugh? See it?
Speaker 1: I chuckle. All right, when you said getting chased outside
Speaker 1: the building, did you laugh? That was a pretty fund
Speaker 1: that was laughed really hard. You got the other video,
Speaker 1: it's another video. The one thing I liked about it.
Speaker 1: I mean, because you can't help that if some fight
Speaker 1: just run up on you and knock you inside your head,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Just I'm shocked starting. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that is what it is. That could happen
Speaker 1: to anybody. The way you put saw it coming. He
Speaker 1: seen that was a good That was the thing I saw.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, that was you know, little nuances
Speaker 1: of your personality. You saw it. You knew that thing
Speaker 1: was coming. It was you know what gave it a
Speaker 1: weight off the camera? Yeah? World Star Era like, nothing's good.
Speaker 1: It's gonna come to this situation, right, I'm getting out
Speaker 1: of here. I'm not letting. He's gotten playing go through
Speaker 1: ladies and gentleman jay Z time you get un you are,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fat and all that around your They want
Speaker 1: this man to throwden blowers. Man, they're waiting for Charlemagne
Speaker 1: to top these blows. Let's go has to make a judgment.
Speaker 1: Who was gonna be on the donkey of the day.
Speaker 1: They chose you to breakfast club. Bitch you who's donkey
Speaker 1: the day to day? Yes, donkey of the day close
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Breeze. Yeah, the mayonnaise
Speaker 1: is very, very heavy on this sandwich. Okay. I've been
Speaker 1: having a lot of conversations with my white friends this week.
Speaker 1: They all want to know what to say, how to
Speaker 1: say it in regards to not only the death for
Speaker 1: George Floyd, but about their place on this planet in general.
Speaker 1: You know, the whole white, privileged, white supremacist conversation. And see, sadly,
Speaker 1: there's not a white person in America who can say
Speaker 1: that at some point someone in their family treat someone
Speaker 1: and someone in their bloodline, their ancestors were part of
Speaker 1: the problem. Okay, the problem being white supremacy. It is
Speaker 1: what it is. People, nothing to be ashamed of, nothing
Speaker 1: to be embarrassed about, no matter how history books attempt
Speaker 1: to sanitize it, no matter how sweet they try to
Speaker 1: make it sound. All America was not built on Christian values. Okay,
Speaker 1: like they try to sell it, all right, please stop, Okay,
Speaker 1: America was built on the back of slavery and racism.
Speaker 1: That's it, point blank period. Pooh all right. Slavery was
Speaker 1: America's first big business. This country was founded by old
Speaker 1: white men who were not attempted to make this country
Speaker 1: all inclusive for everyone, especially black people. Okay, we were property,
Speaker 1: like actual literal property. That's why we got to constantly
Speaker 1: tell people black lives matter, because in the Constitution it
Speaker 1: says black people were three fifths of a person, the
Speaker 1: three fists rule. That's why we were treated its property.
Speaker 1: So that's why we got to constantly remind you, no,
Speaker 1: I am actually a life, not a piece of property.
Speaker 1: And to this day some still look at us as
Speaker 1: as property. Okay, So yes, my white allies, that's the
Speaker 1: harsh truth. If you are ready and willing to start
Speaker 1: from that place, then we can figure out how to
Speaker 1: dismantle this mechanism called white supremacy. Now, in regards to
Speaker 1: speaking out, you shouldn't have to ask me how to
Speaker 1: speak out for another human in regard to their pain. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you are a spiritually conscious person in any way,
Speaker 1: if you are just a human being with empathy, when
Speaker 1: you saw that video at George Floyd, you should have
Speaker 1: felt the way and whatever you felt express it. Okay,
Speaker 1: you don't need a black person's permission for that. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a matter, this is a matter of race,
Speaker 1: but it's also just a matter of being human. So
Speaker 1: if you want to do, if you want to know
Speaker 1: what to do, it's simple, just stand up for other humans. Sadly,
Speaker 1: some people just don't get it. I'm not even mad
Speaker 1: at them for not getting it, because we all live
Speaker 1: in our individual bubbles, and when you are a white male,
Speaker 1: you definitely live in a bubble because this system, for
Speaker 1: the most part, works perfectly for you. Okay, this white
Speaker 1: supremacist system, whether you are prejudice, bigoted, racist or not,
Speaker 1: works great for most white males because it was designed
Speaker 1: by white males, so it was always going to be
Speaker 1: built in advantages, which is why when someone like Drew
Speaker 1: Brees doesn't get it, it doesn't surprise me at all.
Speaker 1: See Drew Brees was giving an interview with Yahoo Finance.
Speaker 1: During the interview, he was asked his thoughts on the
Speaker 1: subject of players potentially kneeling during the national anthem for
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season. Let's hear it. I will never
Speaker 1: agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States
Speaker 1: of America. Let me just tell you what I feel
Speaker 1: when the national anthem is played, and when I look
Speaker 1: at the flag of the United States, I envisioned my
Speaker 1: two grandfathers who fought for this country during World War Two,
Speaker 1: And in many cases, it brings me to tears thinking
Speaker 1: about all that has been sacrificed, not just those in
Speaker 1: the military, but for that matter, those throughout the civil
Speaker 1: rights movements of the sixties and everyone and all that
Speaker 1: has been endured by so many people up until this point.
Speaker 1: And is everything right with our country right now? No?
Speaker 1: But I think what you do by standing there and
Speaker 1: showing respect to the flag with your hand over your heart,
Speaker 1: is it shows unity. We can all do better, and
Speaker 1: then we are all part of the solution. Flag on
Speaker 1: the play. Violation is the current illegal use of white privilege.
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is marginalizing what black people are experiencing in
Speaker 1: this country because he's seeing the world through the lens
Speaker 1: of the oppressor, not the oppressed. I am happy that
Speaker 1: when Drew Brees sees the flag of the United States
Speaker 1: of America and his grandfathers who fought for this country
Speaker 1: in World War Two, I'm glad he sheds a couple
Speaker 1: of tiers. That's beautiful, But Drew Brees, black people fought
Speaker 1: in World War Two. But imagine fighting for a country
Speaker 1: that at that point didn't even give you the same
Speaker 1: civil liberties that it gave your grandparents. Drew Brees, do
Speaker 1: you know in the US into World War Two, Jim
Speaker 1: Crow's segregation had inted every single aspect of American society.
Speaker 1: Do you know that there were several segregated units in
Speaker 1: the military during World War Two? So even though we're
Speaker 1: all supposed to have a common enemy in a war,
Speaker 1: this country still had us divided, Okay, still looked at
Speaker 1: US as an enemy. This is why so many black
Speaker 1: folks have a problem with patriotism. How can we salute
Speaker 1: a country that historically enslaved us, marginalized us, and continues
Speaker 1: to brutalize us. Seet Drew Brees is a white privileged male.
Speaker 1: That's how he sees America. Okay, it's all Roses. He's
Speaker 1: living his life like it's colden. Okay, This white supremacist
Speaker 1: system works well for him because it's supposed to. I
Speaker 1: am not arguing with any white person about why people
Speaker 1: choose to take a knee in regards to police brutality.
Speaker 1: There's nothing to debate. Okay, if you don't get it
Speaker 1: by now, you don't want to get it. And if
Speaker 1: you're committed to misunderstanding the situation, whatever. Now I had
Speaker 1: a convo. I did have a convo with my good
Speaker 1: brother Michael Eric Dison this weekend. Drop on a clue
Speaker 1: bombs from Michael Eric Dison. He was explaining to me
Speaker 1: why you do have to teach white people, because whether
Speaker 1: you know it or not, you are unintentionally teaching them,
Speaker 1: so you might as well be intentional about teaching them.
Speaker 1: So I keep that in mind at times like this,
Speaker 1: and I defer to one of our greatest teachers, kill
Speaker 1: the Mike. He was on with Jaalen and Jacobe and
Speaker 1: he had some lessons for Drew Brees. Let's hear it.
Speaker 1: I would like to know what he considers disrespect because
Speaker 1: and when I travel and we perform in Germany, I
Speaker 1: never see a Nazi flag because Nazis are a part
Speaker 1: of history that Germany understands was a cancer and corrupt
Speaker 1: and they've grinded themselves up. Drew Blees plays in the
Speaker 1: Deep South. As we traveled through the South, we see
Speaker 1: the Confederate flag everywhere to bounds. So if you're gonna
Speaker 1: tell me about flagging disrespecting the American flag, the fact
Speaker 1: that you live in a region that they still find
Speaker 1: a rebel flag in the Confederate flag and you don't
Speaker 1: addamly speak against that on a regular basis just tells
Speaker 1: me that you're protecting the lay of life or what
Speaker 1: you think is right. The American flag stands with the
Speaker 1: First Amendment and the ability to say what you feel
Speaker 1: about situations. Now you bare the blunt of that. You
Speaker 1: may get black ball out in the NFL, but you
Speaker 1: have the right too. So if you support and you
Speaker 1: don't want to see the American flag disrespected, don't look
Speaker 1: at it on buttweiser shorts, at picnics, don't look at
Speaker 1: it edit a bikini shops and Playboy. Don't look at
Speaker 1: it on your favorite album covers because you think that
Speaker 1: rock band is rocking for you. Be all the way
Speaker 1: with it. You're an intelligent football player. But that was
Speaker 1: an incredibly stupid thing to stay. But I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be so burdened with the religion that has become
Speaker 1: American news and nationalism that I could get that the
Speaker 1: flag represents the United States Constitution, and the United States
Speaker 1: Constitution was written by a bunch of people who chose
Speaker 1: to protest violently in order to have a frame. So
Speaker 1: what you interpreted disrespect probably is the most patriotic thing
Speaker 1: happening today. Just something to think about, something to think about,
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. If I had a lesson for Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: because I'm nowhere near his eloquent, is killing Mike. But
Speaker 1: if I had a lesson for Drew Brees, it would
Speaker 1: be a simple homework assignment. And it's this. If you
Speaker 1: don't understand why players neil, if you don't understand why
Speaker 1: players take a knee, then go watch the video of
Speaker 1: that white devil cop kneeling taking a knee on George
Speaker 1: Floyd's neck for eight minutes and forty six seconds. If
Speaker 1: you don't get it after that, well you might just
Speaker 1: need you to shut the f up forever on all
Speaker 1: issues regarding race in this country and sit the rest
Speaker 1: of this season called life out. Please let Chelsea handle
Speaker 1: give Drew Brees the biggest he huh hee haw hee haw.
Speaker 1: That is way too much Dan mann is. I wonder
Speaker 1: if he's going to address these statements now he has to.
Speaker 1: I'm Yeah, I'm sure that he'll have an enlightening moment
Speaker 1: and say that. You know, he was taught so much
Speaker 1: in the past twenty four hours. Yeah, I'm sure he will.
Speaker 1: What's he kneeled before? Yeah? I don't know if he
Speaker 1: was just doing that to be a good teammate or
Speaker 1: he actually knew what was going on. Who knows? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for that, Donkey. Today the Breakfast Club checking
Speaker 1: out the world's most dangerous morning shows in the building.
Speaker 1: Very highly requested. Yeah, interview a long time mister, Damon Dash.
Speaker 1: What's going on? You brought some people? What you damn
Speaker 1: men to do? Shit? Your people's first go he wants
Speaker 1: to be noticed. I heard the dog and under there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I got my og Daniel to my left and
Speaker 1: to my right, I got murder Move. It's the murder
Speaker 1: Move affiliation. I know he's in the movie, but it's
Speaker 1: what y'all doing. The overall affiliation is the hallm thing.
Speaker 1: You talk about hall them a lot from a long time.
Speaker 1: How did you meet up with jay Z who was
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn? Because like you, guys, tight, you're really still
Speaker 1: curious about the jack. Absolutely, you don't know the Stormy's curious. No,
Speaker 1: we want you to tell the story. Let me ask
Speaker 1: you a question. No, this is not you're not asking
Speaker 1: you're asking you. People want to know that. Let me
Speaker 1: can I ask you a questions? Have you never? Have
Speaker 1: you never asked this question from me before about Jaz
Speaker 1: But I was on a smaller scale. It wasn't as
Speaker 1: big as the question. Do you think everybody knows that question?
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody knows that answer? Can you know
Speaker 1: the answer? Yeah? No, you tell us there to tell
Speaker 1: us to answer how you're No, it's it's different because
Speaker 1: we're on a different scale. This is the hall queens thing,
Speaker 1: like all queens don't get along. Ask your question. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's be many. Right. If somebody asked you the same
Speaker 1: question twenty five times, maybe twenty five hundred times, do
Speaker 1: you still want to talk about the same thing? Yes
Speaker 1: and no. No. So that's just me being human. So
Speaker 1: I don't care what platform were. I'm sick of talking
Speaker 1: about it. Let's talk about something else. But that question.
Speaker 1: I just told you the next question. No more jay
Speaker 1: Z questions. I answered them more. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about you. You say your old gs, you talk about
Speaker 1: your counsel like I always wondered who was your counsel,
Speaker 1: Like when you would scream one other executives back in
Speaker 1: the day, Like, were those the guys you would go
Speaker 1: to and say, Yo, was I wrong for that screaming?
Speaker 1: On exact Yeah, they weren't in my life at the time,
Speaker 1: but I have my crew and I had the people.
Speaker 1: See the reason why I would screaming is because it
Speaker 1: would be for me not putting my hands on them.
Speaker 1: See the way I was taught, when you putting up
Speaker 1: money and someone doesn't do what you say or they
Speaker 1: owe you money, if you don't put your hands on them,
Speaker 1: then you can't be outside anymore. So you have to
Speaker 1: make examples out of people. So the yelling and the
Speaker 1: snapping and laughing at people was I was taught to
Speaker 1: hurt people. But instead I was also taught a smarter
Speaker 1: way to get it. People ask one of the things
Speaker 1: that Daniel taught me. So like it would be the
Speaker 1: people that be around and it would be straight, real tough,
Speaker 1: but I could just snap one them. We would snap
Speaker 1: all day. Instead of me having to kill these with guns,
Speaker 1: I killed them with jokes, you know. But when it
Speaker 1: came down to it, my knuckle games proper. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out all out for what I believe in.
Speaker 1: But I'd rather laugh at you than't shoot you. I'd
Speaker 1: rather talk to you disrespectfully, don't have to punch you
Speaker 1: in your mouth for disrespecting me. That's what I was taught.
Speaker 1: So that's that's why I was able to maneuver. So
Speaker 1: instead of going to get my gun, I was able
Speaker 1: to use my logic. Everything is simple. Man, you asked
Speaker 1: me a question twenty five times just because you want
Speaker 1: everyone else to know. I don't care. I'm sick of
Speaker 1: answering that question. So I want to talk about another
Speaker 1: man all day. I want to talk about other things. Period.
Speaker 1: Men don't want to talk about other men. It bugs
Speaker 1: me out. Why are men so curious about other men?
Speaker 1: That makes no sense. I'm never worried about other men
Speaker 1: that much. Now let me ask you, as a woman,
Speaker 1: why are men so worried about other men and how
Speaker 1: much money they got and all the other men and stuff? Why? Well,
Speaker 1: I think part of it is social media. You know
Speaker 1: what happened I gotta do. We put up a picture
Speaker 1: like Dah was here, and a bunch of people would
Speaker 1: be like, ask him this, ask him this and some
Speaker 1: money thing. It is true that people ask the same
Speaker 1: questions because some people might not have heard the answer.
Speaker 1: Be one. Everybody heard this answer. No, I will say
Speaker 1: that ibody knows why history with Jay I already said, listen,
Speaker 1: you say something. Y'all saw my other interview. Already told
Speaker 1: you the reasons why I don't want to talk about
Speaker 1: that man. You got one of them asking right now.
Speaker 1: I told you why get all for that man? Paul?
Speaker 1: You asked that man. Y'all never asked that man no questions?
Speaker 1: What do you answer? Nothing gonna change the way I
Speaker 1: feel about Damon, you know, no matter not no time
Speaker 1: or space, no separation or anything. I got love for
Speaker 1: Damon Dash the same way as I did before. I
Speaker 1: don't know if we can be around each other in
Speaker 1: that in that way because times have changed, but nothing
Speaker 1: can erase that error and those times and those memories
Speaker 1: and those fights that we had to get Rockefeller with
Speaker 1: was they will always be loved there. I just don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about those days. That's the teen years
Speaker 1: ago that still y'all make money. No, I agree with Rayson,
Speaker 1: Why listen if y'all still making money off for old substance. Now,
Speaker 1: how are you gonna grow? I agree with that, but
Speaker 1: we're still talking about Jay. I haven't even seen Jay,
Speaker 1: but two times in fifteen years were my thing? Though
Speaker 1: that you did add something new to the conversation when
Speaker 1: you said you brought up the stuff about Desert Ray.
Speaker 1: I didn't bring up nothing. I didn't saying a name.
Speaker 1: I said, look, you're still bringing it up. You got
Speaker 1: the hat on. I told you I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about it, So I don't want to talk about
Speaker 1: it no more. You understand, you don't understand what was
Speaker 1: out there. People go to jail, people get killed for
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. I don't play these these ghetto games,
Speaker 1: but do this bubble gum don't? I told you once
Speaker 1: you Nick has certain friends. We don't even talk about
Speaker 1: them no more where I'm from. So if you think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on the camera keep talking about this thing,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on over there. You got
Speaker 1: the hat on, you asked him, you calling out names?
Speaker 1: Now you know what that represent. You did talk about.
Speaker 1: I would say you were the bad guy at one time.
Speaker 1: That was your job. Not the reason I'm asking. I
Speaker 1: wasn't a bad guy I was a good guy. I
Speaker 1: was a bad guy to the bad people. Right, I'm
Speaker 1: the good guy to the good guys, trustomers. I'm always
Speaker 1: gonna be a bad guy to somebody. Listen. Listen, guy,
Speaker 1: if I let me ask you a question, if I
Speaker 1: beat the shit out of you and you, dude, you
Speaker 1: just something, but in your mind, I you up. Am
Speaker 1: I a bad guy if I did something bad? No
Speaker 1: to that person that got his ass whipped. I am
Speaker 1: a bad guy to the person that got his ass
Speaker 1: with But that's what I'm saying. So I'm looking to
Speaker 1: look I'm walking around whipping ass. Somebody's gonna say I'm
Speaker 1: a bad guy, right, absolutely, paulse you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I didn't say who's anyway, So I'm saying I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be a bad guy. That's all good guy Like Batman.
Speaker 1: They said he was a bad guy, but he was
Speaker 1: a superhero. If you at war, you're the bad guy
Speaker 1: the people you're fighting. Whoever looks at me as a
Speaker 1: bad guy, they're on the wrong end. They're on the
Speaker 1: wrong team. You see what I do When I got
Speaker 1: the rock pause, I give it the platform to my
Speaker 1: friends and I always have while I haven't been around
Speaker 1: a lot of people got fat, but all my friends
Speaker 1: are starving, or the people that I left out there,
Speaker 1: everyone's starving. A couple of people are fat. We're taking
Speaker 1: it back so everybody could eat. Are there times in
Speaker 1: business you feel like you haven't been honorable? And there?
Speaker 1: Never can mean people, because never, I've never not been
Speaker 1: honorable and business. Every time I hear me not being
Speaker 1: a businesses from a radio show. When men talk about men,
Speaker 1: it's never been from that man telling me in my
Speaker 1: face he has issue. It's not a claim. It's never
Speaker 1: been a social media How can a man say social
Speaker 1: media with a strange face? Men don't listen to social media.
Speaker 1: That's no, men don't listen to social media. A real
Speaker 1: man doesn't listen to a rumor. That's why let me
Speaker 1: ask a questions. What about real calm, realm as real com.
Speaker 1: Does a real man listen to what another man says
Speaker 1: about another man? Yes? Or no? I mean you listen
Speaker 1: something you to take it right? You have no questions
Speaker 1: to ask me. I don't give a but this is
Speaker 1: this is the radio business. I don't give a about
Speaker 1: the radio business. An art I don't give an doesn't
Speaker 1: want to do. That's not what he wants to do.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying money that people know it don't
Speaker 1: be over no money? How much money? What's money to you?
Speaker 1: That's all relative to me? Yeah, I mean it's all relative.
Speaker 1: But it's one hundred thousand dollars money. It's money. Not
Speaker 1: to me. It is money, it's not to me, it's relative.
Speaker 1: I can't with one hundred thousand dollars. My bills are
Speaker 1: way more than a hundred thousand dollars. I forget all
Speaker 1: that money talking. I'm not I don't asking you a question. No,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to prove a point here so you can
Speaker 1: have a clarity of what you're should be worried about.
Speaker 1: What's worth For real, man talking about his business on
Speaker 1: the radio between another man, what's worth that? No? None,
Speaker 1: I don't need the money exactly. It's not exactly. So
Speaker 1: when a man comes on the radio and talks about
Speaker 1: money and they don't talk to about me, I know
Speaker 1: that's not the issue because if it was really about money,
Speaker 1: would have called me. You wouldn't have called you. I mean,
Speaker 1: he know, I'm not listening to you. I'm gonna listening
Speaker 1: to you. Ask me questions about another man money. A
Speaker 1: real man don't answer those questions. A real man don't
Speaker 1: ask them. Let's talk about you. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: you get your props as a mugul? Care I take
Speaker 1: my props? Talk about props? I can't. Yeah, I do
Speaker 1: get my propers. That I'm not a mgu I'm a
Speaker 1: tycoon and I sell oil. Don't disrespect me and say
Speaker 1: I do everything everybody else does, and I put up
Speaker 1: my own money. All these so called moguls you're talking about,
Speaker 1: you name one of them that put their own do up.
Speaker 1: You boss. You're only the boss if you put up
Speaker 1: your own money. If you don't put up your own money,
Speaker 1: I don't care how much somebody gives you. You're nothing
Speaker 1: but the supervisor. It's not yours. There's no money in
Speaker 1: this world for someone to pay me. So they could
Speaker 1: call me so I could call him a boss. That's
Speaker 1: like calling somebody daddy. How can a man call another
Speaker 1: man or that's my boss. We don't do that. I
Speaker 1: mean everybody at some point that no harm. But like
Speaker 1: somebody's boss. No, I'm not somebody's boss. When I was
Speaker 1: in the street, some of them wasn't your boss. They
Speaker 1: gave you an opportunity. Okay, they gave you some work,
Speaker 1: You go make it and then you bring it back.
Speaker 1: You can go buy your own work. You do whatever
Speaker 1: you want. So why this can't be all work? This
Speaker 1: corporate America? We could be you don't own it, were
Speaker 1: telling you, I'm telling you what I'm telling you. Question.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Listen, Can you give
Speaker 1: it to your son? Tell you what my son? Whatever company?
Speaker 1: I absolutely positively can How because I owned shares to
Speaker 1: this company by them. Yes, what I'm saying is, can
Speaker 1: your son is this yours? To give the whole company
Speaker 1: to company? Exactly? It's not mine? But I stopped. Listen, Listen,
Speaker 1: that's not my question. If your son needs a job here,
Speaker 1: can you give it to him? No? No. If your
Speaker 1: son needs to get some money out the bank from here,
Speaker 1: some cash flow, can you get it? All? Right? You
Speaker 1: don't own this, but I can think it's not yours.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fight for something I don't own. Men
Speaker 1: don't do that. I'm not gonna build somebody else's company
Speaker 1: and then pick shares on my son. Could listen what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. What about taking money from jail? Stop don't
Speaker 1: say you're making my business and you don't know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. I take no money from death dam
Speaker 1: what you talked to me? Take me they cut you know,
Speaker 1: they didn't cut me a check. We had a formula
Speaker 1: based on performance, and they calculated and we got paid
Speaker 1: and never stop. That's not us, that's what we know. No,
Speaker 1: we listen. We had Rockefeller. We put up our own
Speaker 1: money from Rockefeller. Then we sold half of it. We
Speaker 1: became partners, So that means no one gave us anything.
Speaker 1: We were fifty fifty partners. We built something and sold it.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you work for somebody. See they let
Speaker 1: you believe that. So then what happened was based on
Speaker 1: a formula. One of our formula is it was profit
Speaker 1: times a certain numbers. Sof you make this much profit
Speaker 1: time seven, that's how much your number is. Okay, Based
Speaker 1: on that formula, they bought the rest. That's say, that's
Speaker 1: not nobody giving me money. I didn't never work for them.
Speaker 1: I put I put up way more money than def
Speaker 1: Jam put up me. Biggs and Jay put way more
Speaker 1: money up into deaf Jam. I mean, rather than too
Speaker 1: Rockefeller than Jeff Jam. All they did was collect our money.
Speaker 1: When we were with death dam they were brought by universal.
Speaker 1: How are you gonna call it deaths? How you are there?
Speaker 1: Or someone that's bought by someone could be someone's boss.
Speaker 1: You have to understand what you're doing in business because
Speaker 1: you gotta do it's best for your kids. Which best
Speaker 1: for your kids is to put your money into something distress,
Speaker 1: go through all of it. So when your child becomes
Speaker 1: a man, he doesn't have to work for nobody didn't
Speaker 1: pass it to him. Now you talk about so you're
Speaker 1: gonna work twenty years in the business or fifteen years
Speaker 1: in the business, every day, over and over again, and
Speaker 1: your son can't work here whenever he feels like it.
Speaker 1: You're clowning the mind saying if you all wait a second,
Speaker 1: I don't need it. That's stupid. You should be breath
Speaker 1: because I like to check. Wait time out, time time out,
Speaker 1: time you're lying, I don't. Before you lose your control, Stacus,
Speaker 1: listen to him, because why don't you listen to work
Speaker 1: it for free? Who could work? Would you ever enjoy
Speaker 1: being a slave? I'm not. It's not a slave. This
Speaker 1: is what I enjoyed, slavery. Do you have to come
Speaker 1: and work today. Do you have a choice you have
Speaker 1: to ask somebody when you have to, Yes, you do,
Speaker 1: I don't, Or you're fired. Can somebody tell you you fire?
Speaker 1: You can somebody tell you fir Can another man say
Speaker 1: you're fired? Absolutely? No one can tell me that, And
Speaker 1: that's what that's pricelessly But I'm here because I don't care.
Speaker 1: You enjoy having a man, but you can't let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question, So you're being selfish. Do you
Speaker 1: think your son enjoys you calling somebody else a boss?
Speaker 1: Don't you think your son would rather wake up with
Speaker 1: you and you could pick him up from school instead
Speaker 1: of having to do a nine to five? Don't think yeah,
Speaker 1: But don't you have to wake up at four in
Speaker 1: the morning. Don't you think your son would love if
Speaker 1: his name was up there, Dash or whatever your last
Speaker 1: name is, instead of somebody else's. My pride is that
Speaker 1: my children. But that's look what I'm doing right now.
Speaker 1: Look at my son. I taught my son never to
Speaker 1: have a boss. She's twenty three. He owns a restaurant,
Speaker 1: he has cookedies, he has equity. He bust his ass
Speaker 1: so he could pass it on to his son. If
Speaker 1: that's not what you hustlings for? You're selfish. You keep saying, I,
Speaker 1: I'm worried about my kids, You're worried about you. Kids
Speaker 1: are good? How they good? Your kids? Jam boardroom and
Speaker 1: back their kids. They that's supposed to work. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: when the men you're supposed to pass them work, they're
Speaker 1: worried about To me, they don't talk the other lessons.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in deaf Jam's boardroom is not backstage?
Speaker 1: Everybody cool out for a second. Why am I playing
Speaker 1: the peacemaker? What kind of show is this? Why I
Speaker 1: start playing the peacemaker? Okay, we'll be back with more.
Speaker 1: Dame Dash right here on the Breakfast Black, I knew
Speaker 1: I shouldn't a warded jay Z T shirt the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show, dj
Speaker 1: Envy Angela yee shawl mean the guy we all the
Speaker 1: breakfast clubs. Good to see you working together again, too many?
Speaker 1: You can you trust him though, because he was openly
Speaker 1: admitted he was disloyal. Loyal to him and I wasn't.
Speaker 1: And this is an extremely visionary move on my part
Speaker 1: to h move to row with jay Z. Did you
Speaker 1: tell Dame. I mean, if he's the one that believed
Speaker 1: in you, then why does whole get the credit and
Speaker 1: the Big Brother records? Yeah, I mean I mentioned Dame
Speaker 1: a lot of raps, but it was the moment when
Speaker 1: you know, Rockefeller split. It made more sense for me
Speaker 1: career wise to row with Jay, even though Dame had
Speaker 1: supported me. I think about trusted. You can't trust anybody,
Speaker 1: so you don't put enough into anybody where they're just loyal.
Speaker 1: She can hurt you. So there's nothing he can do
Speaker 1: to hurt me. All he can do is be what
Speaker 1: he's been. He has a platform and a lot of
Speaker 1: people listening to what he say. As he's had that platform,
Speaker 1: he's brought brought me into the equation by saying my
Speaker 1: name in the honorable way that's worth millions. And they said,
Speaker 1: you don't care. But do you think some people don't
Speaker 1: give you the credit you deserve your business? Because it
Speaker 1: looks like my perception the people you will with went
Speaker 1: up the Jays and Kanye's and they said you was down.
Speaker 1: I could say this in front of me. Everyone gives
Speaker 1: me my props, so all that I see is to
Speaker 1: respect in front of me. I don't hear about the
Speaker 1: disrespect that's not in front of me. See, like I said,
Speaker 1: people that talk about other people that aren't there are
Speaker 1: cowards and they're insecure about the lack of things they've done,
Speaker 1: So why would I just can't worry about them. Every
Speaker 1: day people give me a handshake and give me my kudos,
Speaker 1: so I don't walk around getting denied. You may read
Speaker 1: it in the paper, but you got to think about
Speaker 1: the platforms that are saying the bad things. Those are
Speaker 1: the corporate platforms. They're trying to take all the attention
Speaker 1: off one thing, which is me showing everyone how to
Speaker 1: get money direct to consumer, how to not to have
Speaker 1: to have a middle man. Like you guys don't need
Speaker 1: a boss because you've all been here so long. You
Speaker 1: guys off air should go to another studio, do a
Speaker 1: show and just syndicate it. Just sell it and syndicate it.
Speaker 1: You have enough power to do that. We own our
Speaker 1: breakfast Club show. It'll be on the brand. We don't
Speaker 1: know the brand. The Breakfast Club brand is owned by
Speaker 1: a movie company only thirty years. So what do you own?
Speaker 1: You show? So it's called our show? What's the name
Speaker 1: of what you own? You're working with a name company, okay,
Speaker 1: doing a favor. Start something that you own and then
Speaker 1: start building that a name so that you can benefit
Speaker 1: from every ancillary thing. It doesn't make sense to not
Speaker 1: own it and promote the name you don't own. People listening,
Speaker 1: you don't mind. If I was your boss? Oh no,
Speaker 1: so can I hire you right now? It was if
Speaker 1: you got the right money, Yeah, how much would it
Speaker 1: take for you for me to be your boss to
Speaker 1: do what? What do you get pay radio personnel? What
Speaker 1: did your boss pay you to do your radio personnel?
Speaker 1: They talk on there for four four hours a day day.
Speaker 1: How much do you pay million do it and come
Speaker 1: work for me? Yea, if it's guaranteed for a certain
Speaker 1: amount of time and I get much And we're not
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it on air, Dame, if I'm your boss,
Speaker 1: you will, But you're not my boss now yet? Can
Speaker 1: we talk about I got hood questions, man? I want
Speaker 1: to know what big Il really gonna sign the Rockefeller Man.
Speaker 1: I want to those stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, that's why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: big I was gonna Okay, yeah he was. We were
Speaker 1: talking about he was always you know, like I said,
Speaker 1: Bigel was a Harlem dude. And he was the first
Speaker 1: one in Harlem that was really doing it at that
Speaker 1: level before all of us. Jay Z and Big Gel
Speaker 1: battled one hundred and thirty nine Street two one. They
Speaker 1: went rapped for rapping and Jay didn't get booed. People
Speaker 1: were saying it was a close tie. So to me,
Speaker 1: if you go on somebody else's blocking, it's a close
Speaker 1: tie if you did that on his block. And so
Speaker 1: that's how I gauged it. But in hindsight, you know,
Speaker 1: I couldn't be objective because like at the time, everything
Speaker 1: that Jay was talking about was about what we were doing,
Speaker 1: you know, so with so much passion and what he
Speaker 1: was saying, it was so honest. But I knew Big
Speaker 1: Eel as well, you know, so it was you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta remember in the moment, you don't know how
Speaker 1: legendary things are gonna be. Do You're gonna put the
Speaker 1: money up for Muka Drake the battle of what day?
Speaker 1: If Drake will step up, well they'll organize it. I'm
Speaker 1: sure amongst my Harlem friends we could get that up.
Speaker 1: Drake made a fundamental mistake in battling. He challenged Muke.
Speaker 1: Seeing in the street, you can't challenge somebody and take
Speaker 1: back the challenge. So now that and this is from
Speaker 1: what I've heard, so it ain't no disrespect that Drake,
Speaker 1: but I think he said something on a motion, on
Speaker 1: a business level. His people told him, yo, you got
Speaker 1: too much to lose. So what I told Muke was,
Speaker 1: Ke's not gonna balue you till you're richer than him,
Speaker 1: and that'll be next week. And child Drake has something
Speaker 1: to lose, He's not gonna. I wouldn't do it. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't advise. Its like dog, It's like going to a
Speaker 1: dice game where you got a man in your pocket
Speaker 1: and it's only a hundred hours between everybody, you know.
Speaker 1: That's how I was there, looking at it like you
Speaker 1: ain't got nothing. He wants to do it. He wants
Speaker 1: to do it, but I think he's being advised not
Speaker 1: too but whenever he's ready. They came to me like, yo, Letsten,
Speaker 1: if we could get Drake to do one round right now,
Speaker 1: would you I go speak to him and he I'm like,
Speaker 1: you got rhymes? Don't you waiting for you? I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, but it's cool, though, I'm like, give me
Speaker 1: an hour, I'm gonna go come up. With trust me,
Speaker 1: give me an hour. I'm like, Y'll tell him it's on.
Speaker 1: It looked to all possibilities about to happen like right then,
Speaker 1: and there spur a moment, and then five minutes later
Speaker 1: his management was like, no, he can't do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course all dude can't do that. You can't ask
Speaker 1: somebody for a fair win it back up. Just reminds me. Now,
Speaker 1: I could tell you about a parallel example when Nis
Speaker 1: had to eat the rout and I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: I was at Arizona shooting a rock Weear campaign and
Speaker 1: when I landed, I heard super ugly when I landed it,
Speaker 1: and I was shick because you didn't advise that. I
Speaker 1: did not say that was all right? So oh me
Speaker 1: and IRV Gotti or Gotti, So I called her. I'm like, er,
Speaker 1: why did you you know? We told him, you know,
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff that we don't do. I
Speaker 1: wish I could have rewinded it to like why y'all
Speaker 1: didn't call me so I could have told you not
Speaker 1: to do that. You understand what I'm saying. So in
Speaker 1: the moment, an artist who's inspired is gonna he's gonna
Speaker 1: try to fight. But he must have had somebody there
Speaker 1: that Jay didn't have that day, because that was the
Speaker 1: only elbow we really took. That was the beginning of
Speaker 1: the end, really, you know, because we were unstoppable before that.
Speaker 1: But you missed up. But someone should was there to
Speaker 1: tell Jake, like you bugging, it's ruining you to day.
Speaker 1: You're drinking, you know what I mean, Someone older or
Speaker 1: smarter than him probably gave him the right advice, because
Speaker 1: I wouldn't advise it. Would you have advised Jay to
Speaker 1: reply to either at all or just leave it at
Speaker 1: takeover in e she At the time, I felt like
Speaker 1: we were winning, you know, because we had done to
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson thing and we had called him out. So
Speaker 1: he to me, he was talking here, say like our
Speaker 1: thing when I battled Michael. I'm with I like to
Speaker 1: tell the truth. I don't like to say who says
Speaker 1: the funniest punch lines. The bottom line is we professional,
Speaker 1: so let's just say true things. So I thought, like
Speaker 1: the stuff that Nah said was dope, But I think
Speaker 1: like he emotionally got a Jay because he was inviting
Speaker 1: him to us. It was a little chatty patty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I was like, yo, you just got caught up
Speaker 1: in gossip. You don't have to answer gossip. If he
Speaker 1: said something real like dame, dummy dame. I thought that
Speaker 1: was dope because he said my name. But everyone knows
Speaker 1: I'm not dumb. It's obvious, so I'm not going to
Speaker 1: reply to them, you know what I mean. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be happy he said it, So I thought like he
Speaker 1: should let it rock out. That's why he did it
Speaker 1: when I wasn't around, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: I thought we had played it fair, and I don't
Speaker 1: care if other people think someone wins. All I care
Speaker 1: is if I think I want. You know, I did
Speaker 1: it right and played the game, so I didn't think
Speaker 1: it was necessary, you know what I mean. But if
Speaker 1: he was going to do it wouldn't have been like
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have. So that's why he lost. You see,
Speaker 1: when you Scots end up doing things that are honorable,
Speaker 1: when you end up apologizing on the radio the next day.
Speaker 1: But www, slow Side of the movie, don't forget blow
Speaker 1: Side is the movie dot Com? For them? Hello said hello,
Speaker 1: I S A I D A S Yeah yeah the
Speaker 1: movie dot Com And and and then I'm gonna hire
Speaker 1: envy I'm hold on, there's no way. I'm They wanted
Speaker 1: to know, Envy, how much respect you have form? Would
Speaker 1: you let him get the would you let him get
Speaker 1: the Jordans? Would you let him get the Jordans? Or
Speaker 1: you want to you want your man's out there? He
Speaker 1: got to Jordans and he was like, I got only
Speaker 1: tens and Envy got him, so maybe don't want him
Speaker 1: to have him. I was like, oh, that's my man.
Speaker 1: I know, Eve even pay me the proper respect. I
Speaker 1: know maybe before the end of you you would even
Speaker 1: buy him. I'm not yet, not yet, but if I'd
Speaker 1: rather be honestly, I wouldn't want to be your boss.
Speaker 1: I'd rather be your partner. And I would rather like
Speaker 1: plus do a book, do a movie, do a doc.
Speaker 1: I would throw down. If you want on a radio
Speaker 1: show to syndicate that has a new name. What's the
Speaker 1: name of what your own breakfast club? You don't own
Speaker 1: the breakfast club, don't there's no name? All right? So

Speaker 1: you know. And I was just thinking like revolt if
Speaker 1: puff owners revote. He's from home, that's my channel. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm being chatty, but I just saw the ask
Speaker 1: me a question. Yeah, you said that. Did he wouldn't
Speaker 1: clear to call him? Did he whatever? Whatever? You wouldn't
Speaker 1: clear big to be in the Brooklyn's find pump. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't clear it. So why could you do business
Speaker 1: with him? If? Because I don't sally do business? I said,

Speaker 1: such a such, such and such I'm talking about with him.
Speaker 1: See now he got y'all talking about doing your own things.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm about. Though, you feel me even through
Speaker 1: controversial conversations. But it's not. It's just a difference of perspective,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying exactly. Men could have conversations. You
Speaker 1: don't gotta fight over that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like I didn't disrespect by once it was like, oh,
