Speaker 9: Yea.
Speaker 1: The most tragic thing about that story is reading how
Speaker 1: she regretted how she chose to handle her her initial diagnosis. Yes,
Speaker 1: and she says she didn't get regular mammograms and she
Speaker 1: wanted to do alternative methods when she got diagnosed.
Speaker 21: And yeah, and we actually had that clip she that
Speaker 21: was in the same ABC interview where she talked about
Speaker 21: her experience with mammograms.
Speaker 4: Let's say a listen to that.
Speaker 16: I wanted to share what was happening to me because
Speaker 16: I saw places I could have done better.
Speaker 2: I really do believe that everything is working for my good.
Speaker 16: I know by forty seven, I should have had my
Speaker 16: first mammogram, right, And I didn't do that because I
Speaker 16: saw my mom do it for thirty years and she
Speaker 16: still ended up being diagnosed with breast cancer. I didn't
Speaker 16: have the understanding then that I had now, So I,
Speaker 16: you know, did the best I could with the information
Speaker 16: I had at the time, and now that's changed. But
Speaker 16: that's also one of the reasons I decided to share.
Speaker 16: Wanted other women who were avoiding mammograms to despite the
Speaker 16: bullet and go get.
Speaker 3: It, yes, especially if you got a history of it
Speaker 3: in your family, Like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. I actually started.
Speaker 21: I started early with like full body skins and mammigrams
Speaker 21: because of the history of my family. But I will
Speaker 21: say for a lot of people, when you see it
Speaker 21: in real time, like you see it happen to someone else,
Speaker 21: it does make your way of thinking about treatment or
Speaker 21: other things very like your own experience. I don't think
Speaker 21: people understand it until you actually go through it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of misinformation online or maybe it's
Speaker 5: true information. I have no idea, but I know when
Speaker 5: Gia went and she got her mammogram, and she posted
Speaker 5: about it and talked about the experience. There was a
Speaker 5: lot of people in the comments that were saying, don't
Speaker 5: get a mammogram. Mammogram makes the cancer come faster, and this,
Speaker 5: that and the other, and a lot of people were
Speaker 5: saying that. So people believe that as well. But you know, Pat,
Speaker 5: we always say go to the doctor, get checked out.
Speaker 5: You'd rather know what happens and be able to try
Speaker 5: to figure it out before it's too late.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of these things are preventable. And I don't
Speaker 1: care if people call you a hypochondriac. I don't care
Speaker 1: if people tell you that you bug it. Take your
Speaker 1: ass to the doctors. Don't listen to TikTok.
Speaker 4: Yes, one hundred percent. Yeah.
Speaker 21: So I do want to mention that the day that
Speaker 21: Ananda passed away was her son, Langston's graduation from middle school,
Speaker 21: so it is of course a bittersweet day for their family.
Speaker 4: That is what her sister told TMZ.
Speaker 21: But they also talked about you know, she was surrounded
Speaker 21: by her family at her home when this happened, and
Speaker 21: they've already begun planning a memorial for her. In the
Speaker 21: next few weeks, and her family says that they've received
Speaker 21: an outpouring of love, especially from celebrities who she's encountered
Speaker 21: and the encountered in her career who already are telling
Speaker 21: her family they want to speak during her memorial about
Speaker 21: how she influenced their careers and how she handled their
Speaker 21: interviews with them so well during their careers, which ultimately
Speaker 21: helped them.
Speaker 1: So she's one of those ones who influenced so many
Speaker 1: but didn't get her just due. And I think it's
Speaker 1: because there was no there was no social media back then,
Speaker 1: so it didn't amplify what it was that she was doing,
Speaker 1: and it didn't preserve a lot of those moments for
Speaker 1: this generation to go back and watch.
Speaker 3: If that makes sense.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think you got to go down a rabbit
Speaker 21: hole on like YouTube to see Ananda's like clips, but
Speaker 21: also to what I my biggest thing with watching her
Speaker 21: when I did get to see her, like when people
Speaker 21: would like replose clips and stuff like that, her look
Speaker 21: and just how she carried herself even in her said
Speaker 21: down interviews, and she had huge interviews, but she was
Speaker 21: always like the same in every single interview, but.
Speaker 4: She was talk when they were saying was gonna be
Speaker 4: the next over.
Speaker 21: I mean it was daytime syndicated, syndicated talk to her.
Speaker 4: That's a huge shot.
Speaker 3: Yes, before the Windy's right there like he was on
Speaker 3: the Radio.
Speaker 4: One show two thousand and one.
Speaker 3: Yes, they was sinking she was gonna be the next open.
Speaker 21: Well sending her family love. I know that you know
Speaker 21: they need it right now, and just wanted to take
Speaker 21: some time to say rest in peace to her herself,
Speaker 21: I remember her.
Speaker 4: And a lighter news update.
Speaker 21: Remember we talked about Deon Sanders coach prime, so he
Speaker 21: has posted and on his Twitter just thanking everybody for
Speaker 21: the outpouring of love that he received and wanted to
Speaker 21: let us know that he's doing well. So he said, Wow,
Speaker 21: I am truly blessed by the abundance of well wishes
Speaker 21: for all the thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 21: I can assure you all everything is okay and will
Speaker 21: continue to be. So God got me like no other.
Speaker 21: I have so much more work to do to glorify God,
Speaker 21: so please believe God got me. I'm excited to get
Speaker 21: back to Colorado, to be at home with my staff
Speaker 21: team and all associated to our program. When we arrived

Speaker 21: I'm coming baby, hashtag coach Prime.
Speaker 3: Luther Prin definitely sending him healing in and Jay.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's it for the first hour.
Speaker 2: All right, that's the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 5: Now when we come back, we got front page news,
Speaker 5: so don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: It's the breakfast club. Good morning, wapaol. You're like into
Speaker 2: the breakfast club. Morning everybody, as Teach Envy, Jess Hilarius,
Speaker 2: Charlamagne the guy, we are the breakfast Club. Let's get
Speaker 2: back in some front page news.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 5: Last night NBA, the Paces beat the OKC one sixteen
Speaker 5: one oh seven.
Speaker 2: The Paces lead the series to one. What's up Morgan?
Speaker 17: Hey y'all.
Speaker 10: Hey, So, as previously mentioned in Last Hour, Elon Musk
Speaker 10: is walking back what he said about President Donald Trump,
Speaker 10: saying that he went too far.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 10: This follows the war of words with the President on
Speaker 10: social media last week, which started with his opposition to
Speaker 10: Trump's massive spending bill and culminated with him claiming that
Speaker 10: Trump was mentioned in the Epstein files.
Speaker 4: Musk later deleted the post.
Speaker 10: Now, Musk is saying that he has regrets, uh and
Speaker 10: that he regrets some of the posts he made about
Speaker 10: Trump and wrote on x This yesterday morning that they
Speaker 10: went too far.
Speaker 4: What do you guys think about that.
Speaker 1: I still don't believe any of his few I think
Speaker 1: it was all wrestling. I still believe that. You know,
Speaker 1: Elon's companies were suffering, and you know, they wanted to
Speaker 1: do something to try to get him in good standing,
Speaker 1: and it still didn't work because I think he said
Speaker 1: he it's like one hundred and fifty two billion dollars Tesla.
Speaker 3: Stock on the same day that it happened.
Speaker 1: But when you think about all the other things that
Speaker 1: can come from this, like you know, they're talking about
Speaker 1: building a Golden Dome. They's gonna get that contract. You know,
Speaker 1: they're still going to be giving them government contracts with space.
Speaker 1: I think I just think it was all I really
Speaker 1: think it was all wrestling.
Speaker 3: I really do.
Speaker 1: I think the only way Elon's gonna really save his
Speaker 1: companies is to step down.
Speaker 4: Interesting take all right, let's switch gears to LA.
Speaker 10: The White House says the anti ice protests in Los
Speaker 10: Angeles are aimed at American culture and society. Press Secretary
Speaker 10: Caroline Levitt said California is being led by Democrat radicals.
Speaker 10: She accused La may Or Karen Bass of engaging in
Speaker 10: a campaign of lies, blaming President Trump and law enforcement
Speaker 10: officers for the violence, and slams California Governor Gavin Newsom's
Speaker 10: response to the protests.
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to Press Secretary Caroline Lolevit.
Speaker 12: These attacks were aimed not just at law enforcement, but
Speaker 12: at American culture and society itself. Rioters burned American flags,
Speaker 12: chanted death to ice, and spray painted anti American slogans
Speaker 12: on buildings.
Speaker 2: Democrats like Governor.
Speaker 12: Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Basque shamefully failed to meet
Speaker 12: their sworn obligations to their citizens.
Speaker 4: They didn't have the courage to do.
Speaker 12: The right thing and protect law abiding Californians from rioters.
Speaker 12: That's why President Trump deployed the National Guard and mobilized marines.
Speaker 10: Lovit also warned cities attempting similar types of protests will
Speaker 10: not be successful. She added, President Trump will never allow
Speaker 10: mob rule, and he won't allow his mass deportation efforts
Speaker 10: to be deterred by left wing radicals.
Speaker 1: You know, the most interesting about this, Morgan is, you know,
Speaker 1: if you listen to people who actually live in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: like who actually live in LA. They are saying the
Speaker 1: White House and media are hype in this situation. Up,
Speaker 1: they're saying, it's an isolated incident and it's nowhere near
Speaker 1: as bad as the media in White House of patraining.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get into that.
Speaker 10: In fact, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass she declared a
Speaker 10: local emergency as anti ice protests stretched into its sixth day. Now,
Speaker 10: the interesting fact that you mentioned is that the the
Speaker 10: actual area seems to be about a one mile to
Speaker 10: two mile block radius in terms of, you know, the
Speaker 10: grand scheme of LA City and LA County. So Bass
Speaker 10: issued the eight pm to six am curfew on Tuesday
Speaker 10: for part of Downtown LA. Part of Downtown LA. The
Speaker 10: curfew covers a one to two mile square area where
Speaker 10: the majority of the violence of vandalism has taken place
Speaker 10: since Friday. It's expected to remain in place for at
Speaker 10: least the next several days. Now, Bass spoke about what
Speaker 10: led her to make the decision to issue a state
Speaker 10: of emergency and the curfew.
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to her comments.
Speaker 20: Clearly, after the violence that took place last night, twenty
Speaker 20: three businesses looted, and just the extensive, widespread nature of
Speaker 20: the vandalism, we reached a tipping point and declared a
Speaker 20: state of emergency and called for the curfew.
Speaker 10: Now, California Governor Gavin Newsom, he says the state is
Speaker 10: increasing state and regional law enforcement to that region. Newsom
Speaker 10: says the effort is to, in his words, clean up
Speaker 10: Trump's mess amid protests that have turned at times. Let's
Speaker 10: take a listen to comments from California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 11: It is wrong to destroy other people's property and it
Speaker 11: is wrong to create the conditions that only exacerbate this.
Speaker 11: But Donald Trump, at the end of the day, is
Speaker 11: the sponsor of these conditions.
Speaker 10: So Newsom says he is working to send over eight
Speaker 10: hundred additional offers officers to Los Angeles to manage and
Speaker 10: help the situation and restore order.
Speaker 4: So dozens were arrested.
Speaker 10: Yesterday, LAPD officers issued another dispersal order after declaring unlawful
Speaker 10: assembly outside the downtown federal buildings.
Speaker 1: You know, like I always say, man, all humans, regardless
Speaker 1: of what your race is, your sexuality is, your agenda.
Speaker 1: You know, in this country, we just want some money
Speaker 1: in our pocket. And we want to feel safe. Sending
Speaker 1: the National Guard and the Marines into LA to deal
Speaker 1: with people protesting ICE rays that's not making folks feel safe.
Speaker 1: Like if you are going to be putting the military
Speaker 1: on people who are you know, assembling and protesting peacefully protesting,
Speaker 1: that's not going to make anybody feel safe, even if
Speaker 1: you're not out there.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't make you feel sick.
Speaker 4: But wait, there's more something to note.
Speaker 10: If ICE plans to deploy that ICE plans to deploy
Speaker 10: tactical units to locations across the country ahead of expected
Speaker 10: protests activity this weekend. That's according to a report from
Speaker 10: Fox News, so called special response teams will be deployed
Speaker 10: in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Northern Virginia, and
Speaker 10: possibly even Washington, d C. Similar teams, of course, were
Speaker 10: deployed in Los Angeles in recent days amid the anti
Speaker 10: ICE demonstrations.
Speaker 4: It's being called No King's Day.
Speaker 10: It's a protests are anticipated across the country Saturday, to
Speaker 10: coincide with the Trump administration's military parade marking President's birthday
Speaker 10: and also the Army's birthday. So keep that in mind
Speaker 10: if you're in one of those major cities and you
Speaker 10: plan to venture out.
Speaker 3: And please ice agents.
Speaker 1: Just don't forget who you have to, Okay, you after
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, You after these people coming into America legally,
Speaker 1: you know, the ones that y'all told us are committing crimes. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think nobody is against the deportation
Speaker 1: of illegal immigran who are here committing crimes. Just go
Speaker 1: after the criminals, like, don't go after you know, people
Speaker 1: who are just trying to make it in this country,
Speaker 1: who are just trying to figure it out, like you know.
Speaker 3: That's that's I think that's the issue.
Speaker 1: The issue is, you know, people going to what are
Speaker 1: the things called the immigration court and getting locked up there,
Speaker 1: like people that are actually trying to go through the
Speaker 1: process and do the right thing and they're getting snatched
Speaker 1: up and the party.
Speaker 3: That's where the issue is. The issues are all right, y'all.
Speaker 10: So that's the for your front page news. I Morgan
Speaker 10: would follow me on socials at Morgan Media. For more
Speaker 10: news coverage, follow AP Black Information Network, download the free

Speaker 5: We got to get to you know, I like to
Speaker 5: bring when we have icons and legends like you, I
Speaker 5: like to start from the from the beginning. Now you
Speaker 5: from Atlantic City, from Atlantic City, and how did you
Speaker 5: get into music? What made you say I want to
Speaker 5: be a producer? And then being from Atlantic City, anybody
Speaker 5: from Atlantic City tell you it's very difficult to get
Speaker 5: out there.
Speaker 2: How did you get out there where people start heiring
Speaker 2: your beats and you started selling some stuff.
Speaker 9: My mom was a housekeeper.
Speaker 19: She would go and she would take other people's houses
Speaker 19: and she would hear these little kids playing piano or
Speaker 19: being taught. She was like, I need them. I need
Speaker 19: this guy to teach my son. So I'm five years old.
Speaker 19: I didn't want to play the piano, to be honest,
Speaker 19: but my dad had a house rule. You gotta play
Speaker 19: Cando live under this roof. All siblings play, we all play.
Speaker 19: I took the lessons, and probably when I was about
Speaker 19: ten to eleven, I discovered like I wanted to be
Speaker 19: a producer. I heard Michael Jackson's album and then I
Speaker 19: started kind of you know back in the day you
Speaker 19: read the credits.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 19: Someone that I really admired from Teddy Rowley on a
Speaker 19: lot of credits and I'm like, I want to do this.
Speaker 19: I needed to do this. So back in the day,
Speaker 19: there was a magazine called Black Beat, and I saw
Speaker 19: an interview and it said like it had like all
Speaker 19: the top producers, Pete Rock, you know, everybody, and they
Speaker 19: was like, we use the NPC to make the BEATBC
Speaker 19: sixty back then sixty. And I was like, I need this,
Speaker 19: I need this. I can't afford that. My dad borrowed
Speaker 19: twelve hundred dollars off his life shorts got the NPC
Speaker 19: for me.
Speaker 1: There we go on random question, how was it growing
Speaker 1: up in Atlantic City? Because I loved Atlantic City because
Speaker 1: my daughter does a lot of cheerleading competitions, and for
Speaker 1: some reason, when I go out there, I just get
Speaker 1: a good piece of mind, like I got go out there
Speaker 1: and writing all types of stuff.
Speaker 3: How was it growing up there as a child.
Speaker 19: It was hard because there was there was no outlet.
Speaker 19: There was no studios there, there was no outlet for music.
Speaker 19: So I had to get on New Jersey Transit, uh
Speaker 19: you know, taking that too and a half half an
Speaker 19: hour bus ride pretty much every other day just to
Speaker 19: try to get put on. But yeah, but let me
Speaker 19: tell you, I got discovered I got discovered by Teddy
Speaker 19: Riley at the Impact event.
Speaker 3: Where was that at Blank City?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: Break that down?
Speaker 9: So he heard a demo that I produced.
Speaker 19: He wasn't really into the guy singing the demo, but
Speaker 19: he was like, Yo, this producer is dope. So the
Speaker 19: manager told me. I told my dad. I'm like, Dad,
Speaker 19: Teddy Riley heard it. We need to go see him.
Speaker 19: He's like, where's he at? I said, well, the credits
Speaker 19: say he's in Virginia Beach. So we got to go
Speaker 19: to Virginia Beach. My dad was like, that's like a
Speaker 19: six hour drive. Like whatever, let's go. So we hop
Speaker 19: in the car, we hop in the van, the church
Speaker 19: van because my dad's a pastor.
Speaker 9: How many church man?
Speaker 19: We go to Virginia Beach staying at Teddy Rally. We
Speaker 19: was in this parking lot probably for like half the day.
Speaker 5: Now for people that don't know Teddy Rally from Harlem,
Speaker 5: he built this huge studio in Virginia Beach and it
Speaker 5: was beautiful. Everybody worked there, from Pharrell to Bobby Brown
Speaker 5: to Michael Jackson.
Speaker 9: Yep.
Speaker 19: So we go there in the parking lot, we just
Speaker 19: waiting for him to show up, and then finally he
Speaker 19: shows up like six seven hours later, pull up on him.
Speaker 19: I'm like, I'm the kid that produced. I'm like literally
Speaker 19: fourteen years old. I'm like, you just heard my beat?
Speaker 19: He was like that was you and I was like yeah.
Speaker 19: He was like, come on, come in the studio resting system.
Speaker 19: And so now then I'm getting inducted at Teddy Rally's
Speaker 19: the one inducted.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 4: So where did the famous child come from? Where did
Speaker 4: you get that?
Speaker 19: I just, you know, it was really the name itself
Speaker 19: came from the style that I felt that I was created.
Speaker 19: I love dark minded chords. I was youthful, you know,
Speaker 19: I'm a young kids. So I kind of took those
Speaker 19: and played with it. But then I just started saying
Speaker 19: I didn't know that I was really one of the
Speaker 19: first ones, probably maybe the first one doing a producer.
Speaker 19: I didn't know it at the time because I was
Speaker 19: just like, I was just trying to brand myself.
Speaker 9: So it's like, how they gonna know who did the record?
Speaker 9: So I was like the child.
Speaker 19: I was saying child, and then what happened was the
Speaker 19: artist started to say it, so like Tony Braxton saying it,
Speaker 19: and then Whitney said it, and then Michael said, and
Speaker 19: then her said it. They just started saying so I
Speaker 19: was like, y, I ain't got to say it, no
Speaker 19: one to let them say it.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 5: Now I got to ask, now that you just glazed
Speaker 5: over Michael Jackson, talk about how you started working with
Speaker 5: Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2: How was that call? And how was he in the studio?
Speaker 2: Because you were actually in the studio with him.
Speaker 19: The greatest artists I've ever worked with, hands down, Like like,
Speaker 19: I ain't know what I was twenty one years old.
Speaker 9: He's talking about twenty one year old kid working with
Speaker 9: Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2: How did they call?
Speaker 9: How was that?
Speaker 3: How did he reach out?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 12: It?
Speaker 9: It called yo, this is real crazy. It called from a.
Speaker 19: Dream, but it happened. It happened from a dream. Oh,
Speaker 19: I was in my mom Did you say that?
Speaker 3: Before?
Speaker 19: I was in my mom and dad house on the couch,
Speaker 19: took a nap and I had a dream, literally had
Speaker 19: this dream that I was pulling up to this studio
Speaker 19: with glass windows and I saw Michael Jackson in the
Speaker 19: red shirt, that red shirt with the black pants in
Speaker 19: the window. I woke up from the dream, told my
Speaker 19: mother and father the dream. I just had the phone rings.
Speaker 19: Like ten minutes later, lady by the name of Carol
Speaker 19: beer Seger calls. You probably even know what that is.
Speaker 19: She wrote, that's what friends are four, it's the older
Speaker 19: lady whatever.
Speaker 9: She said.
Speaker 19: I had to save my name out at the time,
Speaker 19: my Desney's child. She goes, Ronnie, I love this song
Speaker 19: you have out. I wondered know if you would have
Speaker 19: to come to my house and work this week. And
Speaker 19: I was like, I didn't even know she was. She
Speaker 19: was like, I'm working with Michael Jackson. I was like where,
Speaker 19: She's like bell Air. I was like, I'm in Jersey,
Speaker 19: but I'm out. I'm going for real. I got on
Speaker 19: the plane and I stayed in a hotel until she
Speaker 19: called me. She called me on Thursday, four days later
Speaker 19: and was like, can you come to the house today.
Speaker 19: I'm like, yeah, I came. I kid you not man.
Speaker 19: I'm pulling up the driveway. I looked left. I see
Speaker 19: Michael Jackson in the window with the.
Speaker 4: Red shirt damn, staring out the.
Speaker 19: Window, just like just like the dreams. I was like, nobody,
Speaker 19: can't tell me God here.
Speaker 4: Real have you ever told him that? Did you tell him?
Speaker 19: Literally literally talking? I'm like you know he blaves and
Speaker 19: stuff like that. That that was how I was supposed
Speaker 19: to happen.
Speaker 4: Is that how you said it's.
Speaker 9: Supposed to my's voice is actually giving it. That's all
Speaker 9: supposed to you know.
Speaker 19: He little deeper than that, right, but it was true
Speaker 19: like it like like I just feel like God just
Speaker 19: went like he showed me exactly what I was going
Speaker 19: to be, so I can have the story to be
Speaker 19: able to tell him one day I was.
Speaker 9: Supposed to be.
Speaker 3: I want to say, envy.
Speaker 1: It's glossed over, not glazed, even though Michael Jackson deserves
Speaker 1: all the glazing because he's the greatest of all time.
Speaker 3: It's glossed over. Jesus, it's razy.
Speaker 2: About working with m J.
Speaker 9: How was that amazing? Well?
Speaker 2: He worked me hard, bro, He's he's different.
Speaker 19: Like he'd be like he would call three four o'clock

Speaker 19: and I would be bugging and out. The only thing
Speaker 19: I could think of, right, which is crazy, right. Michael
Speaker 19: Jackson was talked by Barry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Teddy Robber.
Speaker 19: So that school. I'm a part of that school now.
Speaker 19: But dude was he was incredible, bro like and a
Speaker 19: great person.
Speaker 9: Like you know.
Speaker 19: We used to bet. We used to bet DVDs. We
Speaker 19: play pool together and at DVDs. Bet DVDs. I used
Speaker 19: to bet him. He beat me because I scratch. And
Speaker 19: we go shopping right here, Virgin Music Store on Top Square.
Speaker 2: He would walk in there with you, he put.
Speaker 9: The disguise on. We went.
Speaker 19: We went there and I had to buy the DVDs.
Speaker 19: A lot of people don't know this.
Speaker 9: I took Michael to Rucord Park and the scut watched basketball.
Speaker 19: No one knows this. When we did Rock My World,
Speaker 19: Michael kept saying, we need to go to a club
Speaker 19: and test it out, and I was like, I was like,
Speaker 19: I got one better. I said, I'm gonna take this
Speaker 19: as spot called record Park, and I didn't let him
Speaker 19: get out of the car, but I just wanted him
Speaker 19: to feel the energy. So I went to the record
Speaker 19: park and I played the record and they was going crazy.
Speaker 19: They didn't know that Mike. The window was cracked the
Speaker 19: whole time. They didn't know Mike was in the car.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: We're still kicking it with producer Rodney Jerkins. He has
Speaker 2: his artist John Keith with him as well. Charlamagne.
Speaker 1: You know you talk about Michael Jackson, you worked with them,
Speaker 1: you worked with Whitney, you worked with Brandy Beyonce. What's
Speaker 1: something they all had in common in the studio that
Speaker 1: separated them from everybody else?
Speaker 9: Tenacity. You're talking about artists that focused on't.
Speaker 19: Make an album, which is another art form we've lost
Speaker 19: a little bit, right. It wasn't about like just the single,
Speaker 19: it was about like how to make a great a
Speaker 19: great album.
Speaker 9: I feel like a lot of them sometimes got caught
Speaker 9: up in trying.
Speaker 19: To compete with themselves, especially Michael, like he was overly
Speaker 19: trying to compete with himself.
Speaker 3: You never beat Thriller.
Speaker 9: That's how could you? You know what I mean? But
Speaker 9: he believed he would. If Michael was alive or was
Speaker 9: doing what he was doing in the streaming world, I
Speaker 9: believe he could have beat it. Really yeah, I believe
Speaker 9: he could have beat it.
Speaker 1: But you know what's interesting with an album like Thriller
Speaker 1: or any artists, what are you trying to beat? Are
Speaker 1: you trying to beat yourself? Are you just trying to
Speaker 1: be better musically? I would think you just would have
Speaker 1: want to be better musically.
Speaker 9: I don't think so.
Speaker 19: I think someone like Michael got obsessed with doing the
Speaker 19: numbers that he that he did was so high that
Speaker 19: he wasn't competing against anyone else anymore. Musically. It wasn't
Speaker 19: a race with Prince anymore. It wasn't He's like, I
Speaker 19: already beat you. Now I'm trying to beat me, right,
Speaker 19: And he would say, I think there's a day where
Speaker 19: I could do a billion cells. That lets me know
Speaker 19: that he's racing for that. He's racing for a number.
Speaker 19: And he had to because in his mind he was like,
Speaker 19: how do you stay hungry? How do you stay and
Speaker 19: when you're the greatst like, how do you get up
Speaker 19: for the fight? Like, you know, a lot of great
Speaker 19: fighters lose fights because they just can't get up for
Speaker 19: the fight anymore because they've done That's why you got
Speaker 19: to You got to give props to someone like a
Speaker 19: Floyd Mayweather. You gotta be like, yo, this dude stayed hungry,
Speaker 19: like no matter what. He was super competitive. He was
Speaker 19: super competitive with me, meaning like he would challenge me
Speaker 19: and tell me like, Yo, that produce over there, He's
Speaker 19: coming for you.
Speaker 9: He would tell me. Just like I'd be like, you crazy.
Speaker 9: You think he got a chance to get on this project?
Speaker 9: You out of your mind.
Speaker 4: That's how we talked.
Speaker 9: Y'all were here to story about jay Z doing the
Speaker 9: Summer Jam bringing Michael out.
Speaker 19: Heard stories he brought Michael Summer Jam that doesn't happen
Speaker 19: without me introduced them to Michael. Jay Z again, jay
Speaker 19: Z wants to meet Michael Jackson. So my man, Big Chuck,
Speaker 19: Big John, all of them calling me like, Yo, can
Speaker 19: you introduce Jay to Mike. I'm like, yeah, I didn't
Speaker 19: even know Ja yet. I'm like, yeah, I got him
Speaker 19: bring up to the studio. That was actually, that was
Speaker 19: the first time I seen Jay kind of in a
Speaker 19: just a very chill.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, Yo, that's Michael Jackson.
Speaker 19: Yeah, like, this is Michael Jackson. I introduced him to Michael.
Speaker 19: He had a great conversation. We're talking. Next thing, you know.
Speaker 19: A couple months later he calls Michael to do summer jams,
Speaker 19: like he does it even fifty c. It was just
Speaker 19: I was introducing him to people that wanted to meet him,
Speaker 19: and that he wanted to meet. Mike was a diehard
Speaker 19: fifty fan at the time, like no other rapper mattered
Speaker 19: to Michael fifty and biggie, can.
Speaker 3: You imagine Michael Jackson wild in the what up gangster?
Speaker 4: Damn?
Speaker 5: Yes, look, yes, I could imagine that.
Speaker 1: I'm interested in I was going to ask you about this,
Speaker 1: but I want to ask you about it now. I'm
Speaker 1: interested in your visions.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 1: You just told the division you had about Michael, and
Speaker 1: I heard the vision you had about James.
Speaker 3: He has Michael or Whitney visited.
Speaker 19: You, and then when he used to sing with my
Speaker 19: dad's church in Pleasantville, New Jersey, a little church with
Speaker 19: fifty fifty people in it, called me up one day.
Speaker 3: I think a dream, but twenty your visions, Yeah, yeah, Wow.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Michael for sure, Michael for sure you want to share.
Speaker 19: Not not as much Whitney, but like, but Michael for sure,
Speaker 19: just lie to just be like I'm back in the
Speaker 19: lab with Michael created. And the crazy thing is is
Speaker 19: when I've had that dream, which has happened a few times,
Speaker 19: it was something like musically incredible, and when I got up,
Speaker 19: I couldn't remember when what I was creating in the dream.
Speaker 9: It was like, whoa, it didn't sound like anything from here.
Speaker 2: He was talking about Whitney coming to your dad's church.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Like, so me and Whitney bonded when I worked with her,
Speaker 19: spiritually re bonded. And one day she just called me
Speaker 19: out the blue and she was just like, hey, what
Speaker 19: you're doing, dark child? Early in the early Sunday morning.
Speaker 19: I was like, slave o'clock in the morning, but you
Speaker 19: mean what am I doing? She goes, I want to
Speaker 19: go to church today, and I was like okay, and
Speaker 19: she's like, no, I want to go to your church.
Speaker 19: And I was like, my church is like two and
Speaker 19: a half hours from mind of New Jersey. She was like,
Speaker 19: I'm on my way and she pulled up to church.
Speaker 19: It's like she pulled up and she sang. She whispered
Speaker 19: in my ear. She was like, tell your daddy, don't
Speaker 19: want to sing. This is like nineteen ninety eight or nine.
Speaker 19: Wow and crazy. She sang, kilt it.
Speaker 9: But here.
Speaker 19: Three months before she passed away, she called me up.
Speaker 19: I ain't talked to her in like probably five years.
Speaker 19: She called me side, I need to see you. I said,
Speaker 19: what's up. She goes, we need to pray together. She's like,
Speaker 19: where you're at. I said, I'm at my studio in Hollywood.
Speaker 19: She goes, I'm on my way. She came all the
Speaker 19: way down from Newport Beach, wherever she was living at
Speaker 19: the time, literally came in the studio and next thing
Speaker 19: you know, it turned into like a church service in
Speaker 19: the studio just three months before she passed away. So
Speaker 19: we've always had that, like some of that type of connection.
Speaker 1: You know, we're all here conspiracy theories, like you know,
Speaker 1: they'd be like, oh, Bill Cosby was trying to buy NBC.
Speaker 1: Michael the only person I believe they really really tried
Speaker 1: the railroad like that, because of what he did with
Speaker 1: the publishing in the music industry.
Speaker 19: He talked about it all the time. He talked about
Speaker 19: it all the time. One thing I will say is
Speaker 19: that in the studio he would always talk about how
Speaker 19: he lived in a certain fear, and I used to
Speaker 19: always try to real him in a direction like, Yo,
Speaker 19: you only to post to fear. God, man can't don't.
Speaker 19: Shouldn't have you feeling like that. No man should have
Speaker 19: you living in that space. But he lived in that
Speaker 19: space a lot because he felt like he had something
Speaker 19: that was so valuable, which he did. He had something
Speaker 19: so value that people wanted.
Speaker 3: He owned like half of Sony ATV's publisher.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think what people have confused.
Speaker 19: I'm glad you said it that way, because I think
Speaker 19: people have confused the narrative. People for so long have
Speaker 19: said Michael owned the Beatles catalog.
Speaker 2: I heard that.
Speaker 19: Michael owned Sony ATV, which is Babyface, Mariah, the Beatles.
Speaker 19: Probably some of my catalog was in there. Yes, Like
Speaker 19: I mean, you got three giants right at the time,
Speaker 19: you had three giants and so on. He was pretty
Speaker 19: much the biggest out the three at that time, and
Speaker 19: they did a deal with him that you know forever,
Speaker 19: he felt that they want it back.
Speaker 5: And you think they threw all those cases at Michael
Speaker 5: because they wanted it back.
Speaker 9: I think it could have had something to do with it.
Speaker 19: I'm not gonna say exactly that, but it could have
Speaker 19: had something to do with it. But I believe none
Speaker 19: of it because I was around like all the time,
Speaker 19: and I knew the kind of person he was, So
Speaker 19: I'm like, they's really trying to kill his character. And
Speaker 19: he would say it like he'd be like, they just
Speaker 19: don't they just they just can't stand that I'm the greatest.
Speaker 19: He would literally say that. He would literally say that
Speaker 19: he just can't stand that I'm the greatest.
Speaker 2: How was his mind framed during that time?
Speaker 5: Do you feel like the culture, especially black people, supported
Speaker 5: him and loved him or did he feel like the
Speaker 5: world was turning against him?
Speaker 19: Now, I would say we started to surround him with that,
Speaker 19: like if you look, there was a period where I
Speaker 19: think he didn't feel that, and I felt like he
Speaker 19: was like, I need this right. So there were certain
Speaker 19: people that he started to reach out to to put
Speaker 19: their arms around him, and he started to feel that
Speaker 19: That's why he would do it a summer jam with
Speaker 19: jay Z. It was really like he knew, like, I
Speaker 19: need people to have my back of this. And then
Speaker 19: certain people did wrap their arms around him. And as
Speaker 19: things progress, the one thing I can tell you about
Speaker 19: Michael that I started to learn.
Speaker 9: Was his family was strong.
Speaker 19: Like his family like when they got together and wore
Speaker 19: all that white, they were in those white going into
Speaker 19: court each day. You saw that unity in a different
Speaker 19: type of light. You're like, oh yo, these Jackson's they
Speaker 19: not playing around with this. They unified and I think
Speaker 19: that helped them even though he was like probably going
Speaker 19: through it mentally weak and all of that. And it's
Speaker 19: tough when you know you pretty much own something that
Speaker 19: everybody damn man.
Speaker 4: So as all that, John Keith, what you got going on?
Speaker 23: That's ready to get to you yet, We're gonna get
Speaker 23: to you, but you got to sit here and we
Speaker 23: have an interview.
Speaker 4: I prefer that.
Speaker 9: I don't want to go after Michael.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Was still kicking it with Rodney Jerkins and
Speaker 2: his artist, John Keith.
Speaker 3: Did you see Beyonce be coming to Beyonce? We now know.
Speaker 19: From the first session, say my name was our first
Speaker 19: session and then you know we worked together again. And
Speaker 19: when I got to DejaVu with her and Jade, that's
Speaker 19: what I really knew. I saw the difference, right because
Speaker 19: in the group, in the group format, she still was
Speaker 19: in the group. If you really look at Destney should
Speaker 19: as a group. They never really showed her as the leader.
Speaker 19: You know how you're in certain groups and you know
Speaker 19: like that's the that's the leader. No, it was kind
Speaker 19: of trying to position them somewhat like a boys and
Speaker 19: men where they all could do their thing. But we
Speaker 19: saw the leadership qualities when we worked with it, right.
Speaker 19: But when I got to DejaVu Bro, I remember playing
Speaker 19: her the demo to Deja Food for first time. When
Speaker 19: the song went off, she was already telling me her
Speaker 19: visual for the visuals.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 19: So she was like, this is how I seeing that.
Speaker 19: I'm gonna paja on it, Like she was talking like this.
Speaker 19: She reminds me of so much of Michael was scary,
Speaker 19: Like at that time, it's like, Yo, she just came
Speaker 19: and she just came into her own like mic like
Speaker 19: she's now you know, I could just see the elevation
Speaker 19: of that, you know what I mean, like really quickly.
Speaker 2: Besides Whitney and Michael Jackson, who's one of your best
Speaker 2: artists to work with, Like the time and the fact
Speaker 2: that they're there all the time, they're gonna grind it out.
Speaker 2: They're amazing vocalist. Who is that next person, of course,
Speaker 2: besides BEYONCEA probably Brandy.
Speaker 9: I would think that.
Speaker 3: Take us into a session with Brandy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well well Brandy, it was.
Speaker 19: It was It was the regiment that she had that
Speaker 19: was interested, right, especially when I was doing Ever Say
Speaker 19: Never but Full Moon, Especially like she was playing tennis
Speaker 19: with Serena Williams before the session every day, right, which
Speaker 19: was interesting.
Speaker 9: I was crazy.
Speaker 2: Somebody stories.
Speaker 19: Yeah, she was practicing with Serena every day and she
Speaker 19: would come in the studio. Shout out to my man
Speaker 19: Paris Davis, because he was the an R like a
Speaker 19: real an R cat, right, and he had her. He
Speaker 19: was the one that said you need to be playing tennis,
Speaker 19: so he had her, had her playing tennis early in
Speaker 19: the morning, come in the studio. John can tell you
Speaker 19: as an artist, nowadays, artists can do song on one day.
Speaker 19: They done it in and out, a few hours, it's done.
Speaker 19: We was doing songs. It was taking us three four days.
Speaker 19: We really working on backgrounds just on one day. I
Speaker 19: remember with times when people, a lot of artists would
Speaker 19: actually be like yo, Rodney, please let me, I'm tired.
Speaker 19: I'm like, we ain't done, Like it's not right yet.
Speaker 19: Until we get this thing right, we're not done. Brandy
Speaker 19: was one of those artists that would go the full
Speaker 19: length and not complain about it. Michael would even sometimes complain,
Speaker 19: like riding, I'm getting horse like his vocal coach would
Speaker 19: call me Seth Ribs can be like, you're working. You're
Speaker 19: working them too hard, right, and you're working too hard
Speaker 19: and I'm like, yo, we're working on music, working on
Speaker 19: this song, bro, like what we do?
Speaker 2: How does that affect you now?
Speaker 5: With these new artists, right, because they're not staying in
Speaker 5: the studio that long hour too. So how do you
Speaker 5: still have that same conversation with a new artist to say, nah,
Speaker 5: I need you to come back, I need you to
Speaker 5: stay longer.
Speaker 2: It's not that happening.
Speaker 6: And then, like you said, you'll be like you used
Speaker 6: to be, like, look, we're not done. So when your
Speaker 6: artists stay there because they know the work and dedication
Speaker 6: is gonna make for great music, you tell one of
Speaker 6: these you know, new artists.
Speaker 19: That they don't even know what eight to ten hours,
Speaker 19: twelve hours? It was times. You know me personally, I
Speaker 19: stayed in the studio. People know, like I wouldn't leave.
Speaker 19: I'll be at two three days straight. People like after
Speaker 19: three four hours, they kind of like, Yo's to go
Speaker 19: to the music is worse. I don't know when that
Speaker 19: shift happened exactly. I think like maybe hip hop caused it,
Speaker 19: you know.
Speaker 9: What I mean?
Speaker 19: Or maybe when we hear stories of like when Lil
Speaker 19: Wayne says you, I'm working on this album from the hotel,
Speaker 19: it may have created a narrative like Yo, I don't
Speaker 19: need to go in the studio on the booth anymore.
Speaker 9: I could just do it like he did a record
Speaker 9: right out of his car.
Speaker 19: That's fired, like they you know, maybe that's happened like
Speaker 19: something something had to shift technology.
Speaker 2: Technology.
Speaker 1: So if a young producer came to you right now
Speaker 1: and it was like, how do I create on brand?
Speaker 1: How do I createmon Beyonce in this era?
Speaker 3: Is there a blueprint for that?
Speaker 9: Then?
Speaker 19: Didn't Jay Z say like, if you made made a whole,
Speaker 19: make another whole. Ain't no blueprint, right, You just gotta
Speaker 19: work hard and put the effort. If that's something that
Speaker 19: you really want to try to do. I just think again,
Speaker 19: it goes back to you gotta study the craft right,
Speaker 19: and and and go hard and see what you can
Speaker 19: come up with. And and be patient because I think
Speaker 19: the thing is everybody wants to quit the quick thing
Speaker 19: right now tomorrow. We gotta be this tomorrow now like
Speaker 19: some self takes two, three, four years. You gotta be patient.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 2: Did you feel disrespected when you heard just hilaris rendition
Speaker 2: of the Boy's Mind?
Speaker 9: No mind. I thought it was hilarious, but I thought
Speaker 9: it was give mean.
Speaker 2: Look, well all the all the two.
Speaker 9: Was set wrong. That's all I straight next time.
Speaker 2: All right, what was it one record that you were
Speaker 2: surprised took off the way that it was.
Speaker 19: It might have been that one the Boy's Mind. Yeah,
Speaker 19: because we were going through this battle when we did.
Speaker 19: When I was doing to Never Say Never project, you understand,
Speaker 19: I was a kid bro, So there was there was
Speaker 19: some people that didn't believe that I should do the
Speaker 19: whole album. Executive produced the whole album. I'm in there
Speaker 19: and I'm like, and I'm I'm young, but I'm super confident,
Speaker 19: Like y'all are tripping, like this is fire, and he
Speaker 19: was telling me this is crazy.
Speaker 9: They were telling me.
Speaker 19: At the end of the project, they were like, so yeah,
Speaker 19: we gotta go fly down Atlanta to work with JD
Speaker 19: to get a single. We gotta go. Then we're gonna
Speaker 19: do wid cleft to get a single. I was like,
Speaker 19: in the studio you kind of feel disrespected, especially when
Speaker 19: you've done like nine songs. So you're trying to tell
Speaker 19: me we just did nine songs, and you're telling me
Speaker 19: I don't got the first single. And this is my
Speaker 19: body of work that I'm putting my any and I
Speaker 19: don't got the first single.
Speaker 9: I swear on everything I level.
Speaker 19: I packed my bags up and went home from LA
Speaker 19: I went back to went back to Jersey, and I said,
Speaker 19: y'all figure it out, damn.
Speaker 9: And then they called back and was like, oh wait, wait,
Speaker 9: wait wait. I was like, y'all a trip we got
Speaker 9: sing was left and right? Just put them things out.
Speaker 3: What had you you recorded already? What was some of
Speaker 3: the ones you recorded already?
Speaker 19: Top of the World with Maceo The Boy's Mind, which
Speaker 19: was early early on in the project. I mean, we
Speaker 19: had Angel in the Sky, we had I had did
Speaker 19: pretty much everything.
Speaker 2: How did the Boy's Mind? Was that your idea? And
Speaker 2: how did that come about? How did the Boy's minds?
Speaker 19: Funny I was just again at my dad at my
Speaker 19: dad's house, and I was like playing this harp sound,
Speaker 19: and I was like, nobody use a harp sound in
Speaker 19: urban music. For when they used they used it one way.
Speaker 19: Chucky Thompson and different producers like Dave Hall back in
Speaker 19: the day and the Untouchables, they used the harp sound
Speaker 19: like it's called glitst like it would come down like
Speaker 19: a glist. I heard and I liked the sound of it.
Speaker 19: I was like, what if I made it like rhythmic?
Speaker 19: And I broke it up, like broken into rhythm. So
Speaker 19: I just started doing it in My dad came down
Speaker 19: with a little paper cord hes to always had a
Speaker 19: little taper colad like that's incredible. You gotta lay that,
Speaker 19: and then I laid it down. In Paris, Davis Brandy's
Speaker 19: A and R. He heard and we did it on
Speaker 19: We recorded on Brandy and he was like, Yo, what
Speaker 19: if we put Monica on this? And you know at
Speaker 19: that time, Monica and Brandy kind of didn't like each other.
Speaker 19: It was definitely it was definitely a few between the two.
Speaker 19: And I was like, Oh, that's never gonna happen. Knowing
Speaker 19: Brandy and knowing how that's never gonna happen. He's like, nah,
Speaker 19: I think it could happen, like if I get you
Speaker 19: on the phone with Dallas Austin and I was like
Speaker 19: all right, And then next thing, you know, it started
Speaker 19: to shape. And even when it came out, here's the thing,
Speaker 19: I wasn't surprised that it was going to do well.
Speaker 19: I didn't know it was going to stay number one
Speaker 19: for that long. It's like thirteen fourteen weeks number one,
Speaker 19: Like we did sixteen million.
Speaker 9: Albums sold on that project.
Speaker 19: So like those type of things for my first my
Speaker 19: second album was at the Guena time, but my second
Speaker 19: album that I produced executive producer.
Speaker 9: To do those numbers was kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy back then, right like nowadays, people
Speaker 1: manufactured the drama, didn't try to do the music with
Speaker 1: that record. It was the song, the music, And then
Speaker 1: people started speculating about the drama after the fact, like
Speaker 1: they're really a boy that they arguing over.
Speaker 3: We know that they got beef with each other, so
Speaker 3: that's and plus the video.
Speaker 19: Think about them doing the tour, right, they're about to
Speaker 19: do a tour together, talking about like just why did
Speaker 19: they do a tour together?
Speaker 9: Fifteen years ago, right, you know what I mean, but
Speaker 9: you know it's time of everything.
Speaker 19: I get it, But like dag like man, imagine them
Speaker 19: doing the tour together fifteen that would.
Speaker 4: Have been crazy, but it's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 3: Though they didn't get along.
Speaker 2: They're still kicking it with producer Rodney Jerkins. He has
Speaker 2: his artist John Keith with him as well.
Speaker 1: Because they have an artist you worked with who completely
Speaker 1: surprised you in the move like somebody whose talent is
Speaker 1: hit different when they got on the mic.
Speaker 9: I think, I think I think scissors underestimated.
Speaker 19: Like like I think sometimes like artists will vocalize based
Speaker 19: on what's hot, on what's going on, when there's so
Speaker 19: much more there. They're just not giving it because they
Speaker 19: don't have to, right, I think there's a lot more there,
Speaker 19: Like a lot of a lot of times when I
Speaker 19: work with says, A lot of times I actually would
Speaker 19: get some brandy out of it.
Speaker 9: I'd be like, m look like some of the some
Speaker 9: of the stuff she done, like some Brandy might have
Speaker 9: would have done.
Speaker 4: But then yeah, it's just.
Speaker 19: Certain little things, just little nuances that I'm like, oh
Speaker 19: that's something, But I don't know that she fully even
Speaker 19: yet knows that she can even go somewhere else.
Speaker 1: It's one of those people that the more she does
Speaker 1: the work personally, like they improve her mental and emotional
Speaker 1: well being.
Speaker 3: It's gonna translate to the music.
Speaker 19: And the question is like, wells for me, this is
Speaker 19: what I believe. I just believe that don't happen unless
Speaker 19: you find God. And I'm not saying she don't know
Speaker 19: God or had an experience with guys, So don't get
Speaker 19: that part twisted. But I believe like in order for
Speaker 19: us to mentally be at our best is when we
Speaker 19: know God, right, because the Bible says that he's not
Speaker 19: the author of confusion. So and you got to have
Speaker 19: a sober mind, right, your mind got to be on point.
Speaker 19: And that only comes from an understand a real understanding,
Speaker 19: a real relationship. I think people have twisted the narrative
Speaker 19: too much of religious. Oh that's religious. Well, I ain't
Speaker 19: got nothing to do with nothing. It's relationship, Like, what's
Speaker 19: your relationship? Like I have a great relationship with my
Speaker 19: four kids, right, I got two boys, two girls. I
Speaker 19: have a great relationship. I'm their father. I have a father,
Speaker 19: a heavenly father. I have a great relationship with it
Speaker 19: ain't religious. It's just like I know how to talk
Speaker 19: to him and I hear him speak to me as
Speaker 19: simple as that. So I feel like when you have
Speaker 19: that relationship, it creates clear path for the things that
Speaker 19: you create and the things that you want to do.
Speaker 1: Can you work with an artist if you don't see
Speaker 1: God in them?
Speaker 9: Right now? It's different from me.
Speaker 19: There was a time where like I would have been
Speaker 19: straddling in that fence over and over again because I
Speaker 19: didn't look at I didn't look at it for what
Speaker 19: it was. And I think over the last two years
Speaker 19: there's been a new birth that happened, like I get
Speaker 19: it now.
Speaker 9: I get it now.
Speaker 19: When Jesus told Nicod Demons, he said, you gotta be
Speaker 19: born again, I get it now, like and even Nicode's like,
Speaker 19: what born again?
Speaker 9: What you mean that? What you mean like I.
Speaker 19: Thought the wound born that got had it happened? No,
Speaker 19: like born again in your spirit, like you have to
Speaker 19: be born again. And so there's a lot of times
Speaker 19: people will call me all the time, yo, I want you.
Speaker 19: I just got I could show you. I just got
Speaker 19: a call again in the studio what an artist? And
Speaker 19: I was like, I can't do that. I can't do it.
Speaker 19: Why it's just, it's not.
Speaker 3: It's not why I'm mad.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 19: What I can do and what I will continue to
Speaker 19: do is speak what I believe is true. So I
Speaker 19: had a artist one time. I had someone call me
Speaker 19: recently about the artists coming to my studio and I said,
Speaker 19: when they leave, I mean, if I do a record
Speaker 19: with them, it might not be the record they expect
Speaker 19: to do.
Speaker 9: They're like what.
Speaker 19: I was like, yeah, I guess real over here And
Speaker 19: I said, they said, well, how real is I said, well,
Speaker 19: every two weeks we do a thing called Worship Alive
Speaker 19: at my studio where we have kind of church in
Speaker 19: the studio and you experienced it then, like you do that,
Speaker 19: I'm like, yeah, I guess really real.
Speaker 9: Like I want to. I want to.
Speaker 19: See people changed, and you can't see people change unless
Speaker 19: you change. And I'm a work in progress. I'm a
Speaker 19: work in progress. We all are, right, we all work
Speaker 19: in progress. We send daily so you know. So, but
Speaker 19: I do. I believe that there's I believe that there's
Speaker 19: hope for people. I believe I want to see I
Speaker 19: want to see people's relationships for them with their father,
Speaker 19: with their creator.
Speaker 1: So are you a I guess a faithful artist because
Speaker 1: I know the Aliens Alive is a faith label.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm a Christian artist.
Speaker 9: I mean I was raising a church.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 22: My my my father is he's a pastor now, but
Speaker 22: you know that's kind of new, but he's he's always
Speaker 22: been in some kind of leadership in the church. But
Speaker 22: even like you know, for me, like I only I
Speaker 22: got I got no hobbies. I do music, and I'm like,
Speaker 22: I'm a Bible nerd.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 22: I don't I don't I don't do sports, I don't
Speaker 22: do I don't do video games.
Speaker 2: Like that's it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, proudly probably Christian.
Speaker 2: What did you see in John that said I want
Speaker 2: to work with him? I think he wanted to kill himself.
Speaker 19: When you get to a vulnerable state in your music,
Speaker 19: sometimes people it goes over with people's heads. And when
Speaker 19: I heard some of the things that he was saying,
Speaker 19: I was like, WHOA, Like he's special, like this, this
Speaker 19: this dude right here is special. Special. He just needs
Speaker 19: the right team with him, and and he keeps getting better.
Speaker 19: He's not just a he's not just a rapper singer
Speaker 19: like musicians does all his music produce everything over.
Speaker 9: Nine like he's a beast.
Speaker 19: But but I knew I heard his heart in his
Speaker 19: music and I heard something that could that was that
Speaker 19: could penetrate the youth differently. My man John Key June
Speaker 19: twenty seven, got this project coming out and I'm super
Speaker 19: excited about his project.
Speaker 2: Let don't get a song onto.
Speaker 3: This morning to a lot of you know Miles minute.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they got a while album.
Speaker 1: Dad, he put me on the Miles a while ago,
Speaker 1: and now like he ain't even the funny thing.
Speaker 3: He didn't even tell me that Miles was a faith
Speaker 3: based artist. Yeah, he just said you listen to this.
Speaker 22: Yeah, is a big advocate of just you know what
Speaker 22: I'm saying, putting in frontuse you know people got ah,
Speaker 22: there's a stigma about Christian artists. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 22: that they're a certain way that they they got to
Speaker 22: sound a certain way. And so like when when you
Speaker 22: you hear people that sound like Miles or sound like me,
Speaker 22: or sound like Indie tribe or nobody whatever, you know
Speaker 22: what I'm saying, Like, uh, they're like, oh wait, hold up,
Speaker 22: this is Christian it's like, oh yeah, bro.
Speaker 2: Everything label You're like, dang, I didn't know it was
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 22: Because the thing is, it's like those of us who
Speaker 22: do it well are not on a mission to make
Speaker 22: a genre of Christian music. We're just making music and
Speaker 22: we're Christians, so we're not gonna rap or sing about
Speaker 22: stuff that's not our life, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 22: So like, but that's also why, like you know what
Speaker 22: he what he said, Like in my music, I'm always
Speaker 22: I'm gonna tell you like, yeah, I was struggling with,
Speaker 22: you know, the thoughts to take my life since I
Speaker 22: was eleven years old.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna talk about that.
Speaker 22: And it's not gonna be the happy rainbows and sunshine, yo.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 22: When you get life with Jesus, everything is just good
Speaker 22: and it's like, nah, like let's talk about real life
Speaker 22: because people live real life and you know they don't
Speaker 22: they don't understand what what.
Speaker 2: What life with Jesus?
Speaker 4: Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 22: So it's like we've we fall in love, you know
Speaker 22: what I'm saying, We get angry. We I'm saying like
Speaker 22: there's a there's all kinds of stuff that goes on,
Speaker 22: and it's like, you know what I'm saying, if you
Speaker 22: making music that's Christian music and it's only uh worship,
Speaker 22: and it's like, well, if I'm you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 22: If if I want to listen to love songs, then
Speaker 22: I got to go listen to the wildness that's out
Speaker 22: there right now. I'm saying debauchery or whatever, because ain't
Speaker 22: no love songs that like can still be about what
Speaker 22: I'm saying, a person loving another person, but from a
Speaker 22: point of view someone who who understands that these things
Speaker 22: are echoes of God, you know, And so yeah, you
Speaker 22: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: That's me.
Speaker 22: But yeah, me and Miles just just did something and
Speaker 22: then uh yeah.
Speaker 3: Let's play a recordd what you want to hear.
Speaker 9: For me?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 22: Oh man, I don't know what that's out. Put a
Speaker 22: record that's on the Okay, we do Club.
Speaker 19: It's a song with him and Miles minute yea from
Speaker 19: the West Indies project called Club.
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: We'll get into it now. But now we got closed
Speaker 2: out with a prayer.

Speaker 1: Donkey of the day. Donkey today for Thursday, June twelve,
Speaker 1: little Duval's born day, dropping a clue bump for little Duval.
Speaker 3: Yes, but we are not living.
Speaker 1: Our best lives right now, Okay, because Donkey to Day
Speaker 1: is going to the Director of National Intelligence, Tosy Gabbert,
Speaker 1: or maybe Donkey to Day should go to corporate media,
Speaker 1: or maybe Donkey to Day should go to we the people,
Speaker 1: for being so preoccupied with things that have zero impact
Speaker 1: on our lives that we don't pay attention.
Speaker 3: To all the grave dangers that are right.
Speaker 1: Under our noses. Okay, if ignorance is bliss, I don't
Speaker 1: know why everybody isn't more happy because I described to
Speaker 1: be optimistic. I grew up on the sounds of blackness. Baby,
Speaker 1: as long as you keep your head to the sky.
Speaker 1: But we also got to be realistic about the things
Speaker 1: that are going on in the world. And yesterday, while
Speaker 1: you were busy watching AI videos of Gorilla's hosting podcasts
Speaker 1: talking about fighting one hundred men, the Director of National
Speaker 1: Intelligence Tolsy Gabbert, was releasing a video.
Speaker 3: Warning us of nuclear annihilation. I'm not making any of
Speaker 3: this up. Let's listen.
Speaker 13: So as we stand here today closer to the brink
Speaker 13: of nuclear annihilation than ever. Four political elite and warmongers
Speaker 13: are carelessly fomenting fear intensions between nuclear powers.
Speaker 2: So it's up to us.
Speaker 13: The people to speak up and demand an end to
Speaker 13: this madness. What we must reject this past to nuclear
Speaker 13: war and work twitter world where no one has to
Speaker 13: live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.
Speaker 3: Am I the only person that finds this unusual?
Speaker 1: Am I the only person who saw this video and
Speaker 1: first had to determine if it was AI or not,
Speaker 1: But then once I realized it wasn't.
Speaker 3: It's real.
Speaker 1: It came from her Twitter account and all the so
Speaker 1: called reputable news sources, the ABC News and MSNBC Bloomberg
Speaker 1: Political NBC News. Everybody was posting about it. But after
Speaker 1: I watched it, I was left sitting there scratching my head,
Speaker 1: wondering why was that just released on Twitter?
Speaker 3: Toci.
Speaker 1: You can't just post that like it's a regular real
Speaker 1: and walk away.
Speaker 3: This is how my algorithm is set up.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got a video of a black man sitting
Speaker 1: car with the caption in the nineties, they had us
Speaker 1: thinking Little Kim was the biggest freaking bad boy whole time.
Speaker 3: It was Diddy right.
Speaker 1: Then another video of Cosa not trying to help Drews
Speaker 1: ski high at Kiki Palmer. Then a post from Tyler
Speaker 1: Perris and he made more black millionaires than any other
Speaker 1: studio in Hollywood from the BET Awards. Then a video
Speaker 1: of Pasta Torre Roberts working out in the gym. Then
Speaker 1: a video of Lauren Loroosso walking around and just stockings
Speaker 1: and the Steve Harvey Blazer. Then boom, TOCI telling us
Speaker 1: we all gonna die. I understand social media is the
Speaker 1: new way to communicate, but did government officials some messages
Speaker 1: got to be packaged a different way. You can't drop
Speaker 1: this on the timeline and just walk off, Tocy. Okay,
Speaker 1: you are the director of National Intelligence. You know things
Speaker 1: that we don't know. We have watched all these billionaires,
Speaker 1: from Mark Zuckerberg, the Bill Gates to Larry Ellison all
Speaker 1: build these underground bunkers.
Speaker 3: Okay, I've been.
Speaker 1: Reading the bottom for years building these luxurious underground bunkers,
Speaker 1: and they're doing it as a form of apocalyptic insurance.
Speaker 1: And here you got TOCI put a three minute and
Speaker 1: thirty one secon video on Twitter. I only played y'all
Speaker 1: about fifty one seconds with the video is like three
Speaker 1: point thirty and she's telling us that political elite and
Speaker 1: warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear intentions between nuclear powers.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know what the definition of fot minting was.
Speaker 3: I had to look it up. Okay, Tozy, why are
Speaker 3: you using big words.
Speaker 1: At a time like this, And for those who want
Speaker 1: to know, full menting means instigating stirring things up, Tosi,
Speaker 1: just say that. Okay, political elite and warmongers are instigating
Speaker 1: and stirring things up, and they don't care because they
Speaker 1: have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families. Okay, Toci,
Speaker 1: I know I'm stupid. Okay, I tell y'all all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm not the highest graded weed in the dispensary, nor
Speaker 1: am I the strongest avenger.
Speaker 3: But correct me if I'm wrong. Aren't you the political elite?
Speaker 1: You are the director of National Intelligence, okay, the principal
Speaker 1: advisor to the President, the principal advisors to the National
Speaker 1: Security Council and Homeland Security. So you should be telling all,
Speaker 1: well the other political elite people. You should be telling
Speaker 1: them and all the warmongers to stop stop instigating whatever
Speaker 1: has us on the brink of nuclear annihilation.
Speaker 3: Play the clip again, rad Please play it again one
Speaker 3: time for me, he says.
Speaker 13: We stand here today closer to the brink of nuclear
Speaker 13: annihilation than ever before. Political elite and warmongers are carelessly
Speaker 13: fomenting fear intentions between nuclear powers. So it's up to us,
Speaker 13: the people, huh, to speak up and demand an end
Speaker 13: to this madness. We must reject this past to nuclear
Speaker 13: war and work toward a world where no one has
Speaker 13: to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.
Speaker 1: To to Tosy, you're the director of National Intelligence. The
Speaker 1: reason I'm giving you donkey of today is because what
Speaker 1: are we the people supposed to do with this information?
Speaker 3: Okay? See, this is what I'll be talking about.
Speaker 1: Government officials have one job when it comes to the
Speaker 1: American people, put money in our pocket and make us
Speaker 1: feel we are supposed to be out here living our
Speaker 1: best life while y'all handle stuff like threats to nuclear
Speaker 1: nuclear war. But yet we got the Director of National
Speaker 1: Intelligence telling us that we need to speak.
Speaker 3: Up and demand an end to this madness.
Speaker 1: Tozy nuclear war is too serious for a tweet and
Speaker 1: a call to action, Okay, a video on x and
Speaker 1: a call to action for we the people to just
Speaker 1: say stop. That's all it takes is for us to
Speaker 1: reject this path, the nuclear war, and work toward the
Speaker 1: world where no one has to live in fear of
Speaker 1: a nuclear holocaust. Well, TOTSI, I can assure you none
Speaker 1: of us want that. Okay, we don't have to reject it.
Speaker 1: We never wanted it to be an option in the
Speaker 1: first place. But I guess you know now it is,
Speaker 1: and you want us to fix it. Please give Tosi Gabbert,
Speaker 1: the Director of National Intelligence, the biggest he huffed, Tosi,

Speaker 6: No, listen, I'm I understand both ways that I understand him,
Speaker 6: because look, it's like you my girl, I want to
Speaker 6: know what you're doing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: Every movie may sound a little creepish, but it's like, yeah,
Speaker 6: you're the person. If we don't live together, I'm definitely
Speaker 6: I want to keep that that line of communication open.
Speaker 6: He and just maybe really in love with his girl.
Speaker 6: And I understand your side too. It's like, God, damn,
Speaker 6: I eat sleep, breathe you like, it's like, give me
Speaker 6: I still have to have a life myself, right absolutely,
Speaker 6: and I don't want everything to be my boyfriend, my man,
Speaker 6: my man, my man. Have you talked to him about
Speaker 6: this though, Like have you said, like, babe, I feel
Speaker 6: like this should be a compromise, Like Yo, all right,
Speaker 6: maybe not the whole day, but I'll call you when
Speaker 6: I when I wake up in the morning, and I'll
Speaker 6: call you when I get off of work, and then
Speaker 6: we can talk at night before I go to bed.
Speaker 4: Like are you.
Speaker 7: I say that all the time he gets offended, like
Speaker 7: he being his feelings, like oh really, like you don't
Speaker 7: want to I'm like, it's not that I don't want
Speaker 7: to spalk to you like I want. I'm listening to
Speaker 7: the breakfast outher in the morning on my.
Speaker 3: Way to work.
Speaker 6: I do think it is something that may have happened
Speaker 6: to him before in one of his previous relationships where
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, It wasn't his communication wasn't
Speaker 6: always like that. He may have not he may not
Speaker 6: have had access to one of his exes, and sure
Speaker 6: he was doing something messing around or something like that.
Speaker 6: He don't want that to be the case, head, But
Speaker 6: you can't pay for that, So I don't know. You
Speaker 6: can't keep on talking to him all day every day.
Speaker 6: You either gonna have to leave this man alone or
Speaker 6: you're gonna really have to put those boundaries in place, Like, yo,
Speaker 6: I'm not talking to you all day. It's just not
Speaker 6: gonna happen like that for me because then he's gonna
Speaker 6: run you away and then you're gonna start.
Speaker 17: But that's what's happening. That's exactly what's happening.
Speaker 4: Well, leave, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Is that a problem? No, that she don't want to
Speaker 2: talk to her man like that.
Speaker 4: That's not a problem.
Speaker 6: And the reason why it's not a problem is because
Speaker 6: you still have to have a life for yourself.
Speaker 4: That's how I am. When Chris is on the road.
Speaker 6: We don't have to talk all day. Yes today right
Speaker 6: right when we first got together, Yes, we were on
Speaker 6: the phone every day all day, you know. And then
Speaker 6: they get lonely in that truck they be wanting to drive. Well,
Speaker 6: I mean, you wanted to talk to somebody while they drive,
Speaker 6: and it passes time. But you still need to be
Speaker 6: like a little independent because it's going to come a
Speaker 6: time where I can't talk to you every day.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like, nah, right, and then
Speaker 4: what you're gonna do.
Speaker 6: You're gonna think I'm automatically doing something because we broke
Speaker 6: this pattern that's now a daily routine. Like, No, he
Speaker 6: has to be able to not not talk to you, right, I'm.
Speaker 7: Trying to get him to understand that, like we can
Speaker 7: have a healthy relationship without talking all day every.
Speaker 4: Day every day.
Speaker 2: Are you a loyal person?
Speaker 9: Though?
Speaker 4: Like are you?
Speaker 9: Are you?
Speaker 7: I'm not anything I'm faithful to. It's just like sometimes
Speaker 7: I just me time and.
Speaker 4: And if he can't and if he can't respect that,
Speaker 4: then he ain't the one for you. I'm serious.
Speaker 6: If he can't get out of his own way or
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, like he he's just not

Speaker 2: When we come back, we got the ladies with Lauren.
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Speaker 2: breakfast Club Morning. Everybody's Steve j n V jes Celary
Speaker 2: Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Let's get
Speaker 2: to the ladies. Lauren, Lauren will coming on the street.
Speaker 9: Thing she gets the.
Speaker 2: From somebody that knows, somebody gets.
Speaker 4: D I'm a long girl that knows a little bit
Speaker 4: about everything, and she'd.
Speaker 3: Be having the latest on you.
Speaker 9: The latest with Lauren la Rosa.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: have a little bit of everything on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Talk to me.
Speaker 21: Okay, guys, So yesterday I got a tip from Michelle
Speaker 21: shout out to at alien a block out of Atlanta
Speaker 21: that Porsche Williams one in divorce court a judge rule
Speaker 21: to enforce her prenup with her ex Simon will Badia.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Now that is a huge deal.
Speaker 21: Because they've been going back and forth over several things,
Speaker 21: including the home that she currently lives in, the car,
Speaker 21: the Rose Royce. So I reached out to another source
Speaker 21: close to the court to figure out, Okay, if she
Speaker 21: won and the judge going to enforce the prenup, what
Speaker 21: does that mean and what does she get? So I'm
Speaker 21: told that Porsche will get alimony which will be forty
Speaker 21: k per month for about fourteen to fifteen months. All
Speaker 21: her legal fees will be paid, She'll receive the Rose
Speaker 21: Royce that he brought. All her attorney fees will be
Speaker 21: covered ourselves. That already in the home. Right that the
Speaker 21: house has been a question. Now there's a little bit
Speaker 21: of clauses with the home, so there's one or two
Speaker 21: things that can happen. So Portia has from twenty twenty four,
Speaker 21: which is when they ended, to twenty twenty seven to
Speaker 21: decide whether she's going to stay in the home, and
Speaker 21: it's a seven million dollar home. In order to stay
Speaker 21: in the home, she's gonna have to refinance to basically
Speaker 21: buy Simon out of his portion because he does get
Speaker 21: fifty percent of the equity in the home, or she
Speaker 21: can sell the home. Now, the issue with the home
Speaker 21: and why it's been such a big conversation, from what
Speaker 21: I'm told, is that it was a pre marital property,
Speaker 21: so he actually bought the home with his own money
Speaker 21: Simon for what I'm told before they entered into the marriage.
Speaker 21: But at this point, she has these three years to
Speaker 21: figure out what she wants to do and stay in
Speaker 21: the home while she figures it out. And while she's
Speaker 21: in the home, he also Simon is responsible to cover
Speaker 21: all of the expenses, so mortgage, any expenses that come, is.
Speaker 2: The house paid off? Is it painingful or no?
Speaker 4: No, it's not painingful.
Speaker 21: So he has to cover all of the expenses while
Speaker 21: she is there. And I'm also told that Simon is
Speaker 21: exploring the options of an appeal. He has thirty days
Speaker 21: of foule this with the court.
Speaker 5: Now, Simon does none of that. What could happen to
Speaker 5: him because he can't come back to the country. It's
Speaker 5: not like they can bring him back and wrest him.
Speaker 4: Right, what do you mean by it? Does none of that?
Speaker 5: So if he says, you know what, I'm already you
Speaker 5: already supported me. I'm in Africa or I'm in Dubai.
Speaker 5: I ain't gonna do nothing of that because you can't
Speaker 5: arrest him.
Speaker 4: Oh you mean, like he's not gonna appeal for this home.
Speaker 5: No, meaning if he doesn't pay the mortgage, if he
Speaker 5: doesn't want to get none of that stuff that he's
Speaker 5: supposed to.
Speaker 3: Be paying it.
Speaker 2: He just says, you know what, I'm out.
Speaker 21: I mean, he still legally would have to go through
Speaker 21: whatever the consequences for that is. And also too, he
Speaker 21: still has his defamation lawsuit on the other side with
Speaker 21: so he's still I mean, he ain't hiding, like he's
Speaker 21: still actively going through things, and he plans the appeal,
Speaker 21: so he aint about to hide, So he'd just have
Speaker 21: to deal with the consequence.
Speaker 1: All I know is Simon would give all that up
Speaker 1: to have American citizenship and that ice cream sandwich we
Speaker 1: call Capital peedback okay, a young honey bunt, that's what
Speaker 1: we call.
Speaker 6: Him, baby, right, Capital pe Okay, probably bit more than
Speaker 6: he could chew, and it was probably like that's a bite.
Speaker 4: Yes, I am going back home.
Speaker 21: Yes, And I'm told because I like, what was their
Speaker 21: vibe in court? I'm told they didn't even speak to
Speaker 21: each other directly. They just like the council speak to
Speaker 21: each other. And they could have if they wanted to.
Speaker 21: And they were in court all day nine thirty they
Speaker 21: were on zoom. Yes they were on zoom, but they
Speaker 21: could have done a breakout room on zoom if they
Speaker 21: wanted to have a conversation. They didn't though, nine thirty
Speaker 21: to seven o'clock PM. And as Simon walked away, piston damn.
Speaker 3: All the time was it in Africa?
Speaker 4: I don't know. It was time for him to get
Speaker 4: ready to pay that forty kid month.
Speaker 21: That's what I was So other news speaking to gh
Speaker 21: Dame Dash, a judge has ordered Dame Dash to hand
Speaker 21: over full ownership of several of his companies and film
Speaker 21: copyrights to pay off a debt from a lawsuit. Yes,
Speaker 21: so shout out to all hip hop dot com and
Speaker 21: Gratchi Greg who broke the story. So y'all remember we
Speaker 21: were talking about like the money that Dame Dashed old.
Speaker 21: There was a ton of different things, child support, There
Speaker 21: was a lawsuit between him and a filmmaker named Josh Webber,
Speaker 21: so the taxes and all that stuff. Remember they did
Speaker 21: the auction and they were trying to figure out how
Speaker 21: they want to pay each other. So a part of
Speaker 21: that was this filmmaker's lawsuit, and the auction went down,
Speaker 21: Dame Dash lost his one thurstake in Rockefeller, but this
Speaker 21: filmmaker was not paid. There wasn't enough money to cover
Speaker 21: the debt that Dame Dash allegedly owes to him. Right,
Speaker 21: so there's a little over eight hundred thousand dollars that
Speaker 21: is due, and a judge is basically saying that Dame
Speaker 21: has to give up several companies, including Dash Films, and
Speaker 21: copyrights of several movies including Honor Up and Too Honorable
Speaker 21: in order to get this paid.
Speaker 3: What about the network, the American new network that is.
Speaker 4: Not listed on here?
Speaker 21: It is Dash Films, Blue Rock LLC, Black Rock LLC,
Speaker 21: Interest in Lebanon LLC, Ocean's East Improvements LLC in nineteen
Speaker 21: ninety six songs. So unless that network is under one
Speaker 21: of these companies, but that wasn't specifically named in the document.
Speaker 1: Well, they're eight million dollar number I saw floating around.
Speaker 1: It was any eight hundred thousand.
Speaker 4: Oh, I saw that too, but I thought I saw
Speaker 4: something else.
Speaker 21: But that's from Remember there was a huge amount of
Speaker 21: money old because of child support, because of this lawsuit
Speaker 21: like they're in taxes. Yes, that was aw combined, remember,
Speaker 21: but they tried to sell it off in the auction,
Speaker 21: but it was like first come first, not first come first,
Speaker 21: so they had to figure out the picking order of
Speaker 21: who was going to be paid what. This filmmaker was
Speaker 21: not paid for that because there was enough money to
Speaker 21: go around. So now they're asking for these companies, they're
Speaker 21: asking for the rights of these movies. And what they're
Speaker 21: going to do. Government is going to do is they're
Speaker 21: going to do another auction and they're trying to pay
Speaker 21: this man from this film with this auction and whatever
Speaker 21: is left over, we'll go back to Dame Dash. Now,
Speaker 21: Dame Dash has until June sixteenth to make the auction
Speaker 21: not happen by filing an objection.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I seen sixteen. He got until monday.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I've seen everybody laughing. And I would say
Speaker 2: that you don't laugh.
Speaker 3: Don't laugh, learn, don't laugh, learn right.
Speaker 2: And I told you guys years ago, Charlemagne and myself
Speaker 2: said a long time ago, entrepreneurship is amazing, right, but
Speaker 2: it's hard. But having a job is not a bad thing.
Speaker 2: Stability ain't a weakness.
Speaker 5: It could be a strategy so don't think if you
Speaker 5: have a job you can't be an entrepreneur as well.
Speaker 5: You can do both. Like I said, stability is not
Speaker 5: a weakness. It's a strategy to do the things that
Speaker 5: you want to do. And don't laugh for Dame Dash.
Speaker 5: You can learn from it.
Speaker 1: And I will say salute everybody who was motivated by
Speaker 1: the interview Dame Dash did up here on the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club ten years ago.
Speaker 3: Ten years ago.
Speaker 1: But you know, when you talk about being your own
Speaker 1: boss and you talk about ownership.
Speaker 3: All those conversations are great, but Day never really gave.
Speaker 2: A blueprint to do it, you know, And I wonder
Speaker 2: for those who are inspired by that convo ten years ago,
Speaker 2: how do you feel now seeing the situation Dame is
Speaker 2: in or do you just take the message and not
Speaker 2: listening to the messenger, Because I think over the last
Speaker 2: decade there has been a lot of people who have
Speaker 2: told you how to do it correct.
Speaker 1: As opposed to just telling you to do it. It's
Speaker 1: one thing to say, be your own boss, put your job.
Speaker 1: You don't need to work for nobody. You know, your
Speaker 1: boss is your daddy, my son sells cookies. All of
Speaker 1: that is cool, but you know, you still have to
Speaker 1: give like a blueprint on how to do that. And
Speaker 1: I think over the last decade, we've seen these conversations
Speaker 1: of financial literacy grow in our communities and people have
Speaker 1: given you some blueprints.
Speaker 2: Great conversations.
Speaker 5: But like you said, it's if you don't know how,
Speaker 5: just you have to learn and sometimes being stable it's
Speaker 5: not a weakness, right, Getting your monthly check and having
Speaker 5: health insurance is not a weakness.
Speaker 2: It should be a strategy to get to where you
Speaker 2: need to be.
Speaker 1: Listening to people who actually have successful businesses, because you know,
Speaker 1: we have a genre of people who are making money
Speaker 1: telling people how to make money.
Speaker 3: But the thing can't be that can't be the business.
Speaker 2: But the thing is you You got to feel you
Speaker 2: got to know who's really doing it right, because we
Speaker 2: all thought Dan was really doing it.
Speaker 3: That's why I love you.
Speaker 5: See John O'Brien and you see things like it, Like
Speaker 5: when I seen TDed of a day and he was
Speaker 5: talking about you know what, I jumped on a spirit
Speaker 5: flight from me La to Vegas to get to the show.
Speaker 2: It only cost me ninety nine dollars. If I don't
Speaker 2: flu private, it would have been twelve thousand, got it?
Speaker 3: But he's smart with it.
Speaker 1: Hey, John Hol'brian, Don Peebles, Cheryl McKissick, Tyler Perry. I'm
Speaker 1: listening to people who actually have businesses, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Who can tell me how to build that hole? Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't like I tried. I didn't want to stay
Speaker 1: til a hole just because they're entertainer. That's why I said,
Speaker 1: Cheryl done.
Speaker 2: But a lot of them came from you. Like we've
Speaker 2: seen hole where he came from and what he's done.
Speaker 2: So Tyler the same. And I feel like that just
Speaker 2: a stab saying right now at the time like that. Oh,
Speaker 2: I didn't even think about it.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: I didn't anything about the cookies.
Speaker 2: Yo, shut up, man.
Speaker 9: That is the latest.
