0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Today, there's a bunch of donkeys.

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 2>That is why, Charlemagne, if we live a life where

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 2>we might are tongue based off who we may have been,

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 2>we never would say anything else.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>On the Breakfast Club. In the words of charlemagnea god,

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>he's a donkeys. Oh man, Charlamagne, you've given donkey of

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>a day to who.

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.479
<v Speaker 2>Now, well, Buster rhymes donkey today for Friday, August fifteenth,

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the Little YACHTI, now, you know, on Fridays, I like

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 2>to open up the phone line so that people can

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>give folks the credit they deserve for being stupid unless

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 2>something is on my spirit, and today something is on

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 2>my spirit.

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay. I was minding other people's business on.

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Social media last night and I saw that Little YACHTI

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 2>was receiving some backlash after appearing on the live stream

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 2>with black Boy Max. Now, I don't pay attention to backlash, Okay,

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>outrage on the internet because y'all always fake mad about

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 2>something online.

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>All right. The fuel that keeps the Internet going is anger.

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 2>That's why you have individuals who make a living rage baiting. Okay,

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>rage baiting you digital d heads, because they know the

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.960
<v Speaker 2>fastest way to garner engagement is to say something to

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 2>make you mad.

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.199
<v Speaker 1>So I listened to what everyone was upset about.

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh, and it was the first time in a while

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Oh, this is valid outrage. Okay, I

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 2>completely understand why folks is upset. See little Yachty previewed

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>the new song, and in that song he had a

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 2>lyric about the late George Floyd.

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:24.600

<v Speaker 1>Okay? Are you trying to sink the boat and drown?

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:57.080

0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Black solidarity is anything sacred?

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>When we talk like that about situations like George Floyd,

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>we make others comfortable to do it, and then we

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>get mad when others disrespect us. I'm all for a

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>freedom of speech, Okay, I don't have to agree with

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>what you said, but I agree with your right to

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>say it. But you know what else is free shutting

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 2>that up? Okay, See, I talked for a living. I've

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>always gotten it right, Absolutely not. But it's just some

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>things you should know not to say.

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay. You should know not to play with somebody's loved

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>one who the world watched die.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, YadA, you are twenty seven years old and you

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 2>are not a stupid young man.

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>In fact, you are very bright. Okay. I've watched you

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in interviews. I've watched you conduct interviews.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I've always thought that you had an empathy about you

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>because of how you have been attacked in this culture

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 2>called hip hop.

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 2>People used to label you as the poster child for

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 2>wack rappers.

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, some still do. Was that fair? Probably not,

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>but that's what it was. Okay.

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I've seen you have empathy for Drake when Kendrick was

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>busting his ass last year.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>So I asked a.

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.040
<v Speaker 2>Simple question, would you write a bar about Ken and

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 2>drink Molly wopping Drake and their lyrical battle? Of course

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.959
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't because that's your man. You wouldn't want to

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 2>hurt his feelings are his team's feelings. I got a

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 2>better one for you. Would you write a bar about

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the tragic, senseless murder of the late Great Takeoff? Of

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>course you wouldn't because you would have empathy for him

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>and how he went out.

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you would have empathy for his team and family.

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>So why wouldn't you give George Floyd that same respect?

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Why disrespect that brother's family and friends like that? You said,

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>put my knee up on her neck, I went, George Floyd.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 2>So you decided to channel that racist ass crack ass cracker,

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Derek the Devil Chauvin who killed George Floyd. Okay, you

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>watched that video that the world saw. The world saw

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Derek the Devil Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck for

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>nine minutes and twenty nine seconds, watch that man take

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>his last breath, calling for his mother, and you, at

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 2>the big age of twenty seven, decided, you know what,

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna put that in a bar, even if your

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>brain thinks it immediately, something got to say, Nah, that

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 2>ain't it okay, And no engineer, nobody in the studio

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 2>said nigga, no, what are you doing?

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay? This is why you can't have a bunch of

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>yes men around you.

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>You gotta have somebody around it simply tell you no

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>and hell no and f no.

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And I know folks is.

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Out there, but Charlamagne, you believe in freedom of speech,

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I do, but you are not free from the consequences

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>of said speech. You can say what you want about

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 2>anybody and anything, but you have to deal with what

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 2>comes with that, because there is a cost to everything

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 2>that comes out of your mouth, and before you speak,

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 2>you should always ask yourself, am I willing to pay

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 2>this price?

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Now?

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Jackson from the All the Smoke podcast dropping the

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 2>clues bombs for the All the Smoke podcasts, you already

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>know he's stepping about George Floyd every time, as he

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.919
<v Speaker 2>should every time. Okay, he replied to Little Yachta yesterday

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>and he had this to say, Let's listen.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 6>And I'm just trying not to pay attention to you idiots, man,

<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 6>But you think you saying George Floyd name and trying

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 6>to use his name in the bar, that's gonna make

<v Speaker 6>It's only you whack sambars that do that.

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.799
<v Speaker 2>The only era that feel like the meaning of dead

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>is Okay, that is a very valid point of little Yachty.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Whether you realize it or not.

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Everybody who knew George Floyd and loved George Floyd feels

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 2>exactly like Stephen Jackson does this morning. That line was corny, Okay,

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 2>it was very cornish, all right. George Floyd got murdered

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 2>knead to the neck from Derek Chauvin, and you turned

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 2>his death into a corny ass rap bar. Okay, the

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>ball don't even make no sense. You put your knee

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>up on her neck. You and George Floyd what you saying?

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>You want to kill him? If you don't think you

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 2>upset George Floyd's family. Well, Lauren Lorossa got a statement

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>from George Floyd's brother, Lauren, would you like to share

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>what George Floyd's brother told you?

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Terrence Floyd said to me he wants the lyric changed.

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 5>He says, let his brother rest in peace. It has

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 5>disturbed his family. People were sending him the clip all yesterday,

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.160
<v Speaker 5>so we had to listen to it and disturbed him

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 5>a lot.

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 4>He says. It's super inconsiderate.

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 5>Terrence Floyd also said to us that this generation doesn't

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 5>pay attention to what they say. They just want to

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.159
<v Speaker 5>make a song and get it on the charts, and

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 5>they feel like because of who they are, people will

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 5>listen and accept it.

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 4>And that's not right. It's super inconsiderate.

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 5>You should think about what you're writing and make it

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 5>make sense because it impacts other people.

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.679
<v Speaker 4>He also has a message for lo Yatty.

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.600
<v Speaker 5>He says, you know, if you're going to talk about

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 5>George Floyd, there, let there be a better message behind

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 5>George Floyd's name, so that his legacy can live beyond

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 5>the tragedy that Chauvin caused.

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>The best way to not have your piece disturbed is

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>to not disturb the peace of others. Little Yachty into

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 2>everyone who can hear my voice, Please remember the simple

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>golden rule we learned in grade school. Do unto others

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>as you would have them do unto you. Okay, YACHTI,

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 2>you want respect, you gotta give it. And the root

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 2>of respect is not the full understanding of other people.

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>It is the recognition of people's non negotiable humanity. Please
