Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today, there's a bunch of donkeys.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That is why, Charlemagne, if we live a life where
we might are tongue based off who we may have been,
we never would say anything else.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
On the Breakfast Club. In the words of charlemagnea god,
he's a donkeys. Oh man, Charlamagne, you've given donkey of
a day to who.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Now, well, Buster rhymes donkey today for Friday, August fifteenth,
the Little YACHTI, now, you know, on Fridays, I like
to open up the phone line so that people can
give folks the credit they deserve for being stupid unless
something is on my spirit, and today something is on
my spirit.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay. I was minding other people's business on.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Social media last night and I saw that Little YACHTI
was receiving some backlash after appearing on the live stream
with black Boy Max. Now, I don't pay attention to backlash, Okay,
outrage on the internet because y'all always fake mad about
something online.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
All right. The fuel that keeps the Internet going is anger.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
That's why you have individuals who make a living rage baiting. Okay,
rage baiting you digital d heads, because they know the
fastest way to garner engagement is to say something to
make you mad.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
So I listened to what everyone was upset about.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Uh, and it was the first time in a while
I was like, Oh, this is valid outrage. Okay, I
completely understand why folks is upset. See little Yachty previewed
the new song, and in that song he had a
lyric about the late George Floyd.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Let's listen to the bar.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Right forward wow right ford Wow? Wi something figure out
right the bank for put my knee up on her neck?
I went, Josh, I mean she she gonna wait some?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Why playing one more time? Please?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Right forward?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Right card Wow?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I wish something?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Figure out right the bank for put my knee up
on her neck? I went, Josh, I mean she.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Gonna wait something put my knee up on her neck?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I went, George Floyd, yachdy, how you put a hole
in your own boat?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay? Are you trying to sink the boat and drown?
Like damn?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Black solidarity is anything sacred?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
When we talk like that about situations like George Floyd,
we make others comfortable to do it, and then we
get mad when others disrespect us. I'm all for a
freedom of speech, Okay, I don't have to agree with
what you said, but I agree with your right to
say it. But you know what else is free shutting
that up? Okay, See, I talked for a living. I've
always gotten it right, Absolutely not. But it's just some
(02:21):
things you should know not to say.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay. You should know not to play with somebody's loved
one who the world watched die.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Okay, YadA, you are twenty seven years old and you
are not a stupid young man.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
In fact, you are very bright. Okay. I've watched you
in interviews. I've watched you conduct interviews.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I've always thought that you had an empathy about you
because of how you have been attacked in this culture
called hip hop.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
People used to label you as the poster child for
wack rappers.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
All right, some still do. Was that fair? Probably not,
but that's what it was. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I've seen you have empathy for Drake when Kendrick was
busting his ass last year.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So I asked a.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Simple question, would you write a bar about Ken and
drink Molly wopping Drake and their lyrical battle? Of course
you wouldn't because that's your man. You wouldn't want to
hurt his feelings are his team's feelings. I got a
better one for you. Would you write a bar about
the tragic, senseless murder of the late Great Takeoff? Of
course you wouldn't because you would have empathy for him
(03:17):
and how he went out.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Okay, you would have empathy for his team and family.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So why wouldn't you give George Floyd that same respect?
Why disrespect that brother's family and friends like that? You said,
put my knee up on her neck, I went, George Floyd.
So you decided to channel that racist ass crack ass cracker,
Derek the Devil Chauvin who killed George Floyd. Okay, you
watched that video that the world saw. The world saw
(03:42):
Derek the Devil Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck for
nine minutes and twenty nine seconds, watch that man take
his last breath, calling for his mother, and you, at
the big age of twenty seven, decided, you know what,
I'm gonna put that in a bar, even if your
brain thinks it immediately, something got to say, Nah, that
ain't it okay, And no engineer, nobody in the studio
said nigga, no, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Okay? This is why you can't have a bunch of
yes men around you.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You gotta have somebody around it simply tell you no
and hell no and f no.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
And I know folks is.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Out there, but Charlamagne, you believe in freedom of speech,
I do, but you are not free from the consequences
of said speech. You can say what you want about
anybody and anything, but you have to deal with what
comes with that, because there is a cost to everything
that comes out of your mouth, and before you speak,
you should always ask yourself, am I willing to pay
this price?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Stephen Jackson from the All the Smoke podcast dropping the
clues bombs for the All the Smoke podcasts, you already
know he's stepping about George Floyd every time, as he
should every time. Okay, he replied to Little Yachta yesterday
and he had this to say, Let's listen.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
And I'm just trying not to pay attention to you idiots, man,
But like it's just hard, bro, Like Lil YACHTI bro,
are you've been whacked?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Man?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
But you think you saying George Floyd name and trying
to use his name in the bar, that's gonna make
me for like your whack ass music money we y'all
the only era that that that feel like the meaning
the dead and saying that cool man, it ain't, it ain't.
And it's me and the whole third Ward in the
whole Houston, Texas riding behind g Man. Don't ever say
his name, bro y'all. None of y'all knew g none
(05:17):
about it. Which'all want to say his name for cloud?
Put a kne up on I do, George.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That's some week ad.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Let somebody die in your family.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
We gonna do a whole skit about it and see
how funny it is.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Bro cut that man.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
It's only you whack sambars that do that.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The only era that feel like the meaning of dead
is Okay, that is a very valid point of little Yachty.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Whether you realize it or not.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Everybody who knew George Floyd and loved George Floyd feels
exactly like Stephen Jackson does this morning. That line was corny, Okay,
it was very cornish, all right. George Floyd got murdered
knead to the neck from Derek Chauvin, and you turned
his death into a corny ass rap bar. Okay, the
ball don't even make no sense. You put your knee
up on her neck. You and George Floyd what you saying?
You want to kill him? If you don't think you
(05:58):
upset George Floyd's family. Well, Lauren Lorossa got a statement
from George Floyd's brother, Lauren, would you like to share
what George Floyd's brother told you?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yes, Terrence Floyd said to me he wants the lyric changed.
He says, let his brother rest in peace. It has
disturbed his family. People were sending him the clip all yesterday,
so we had to listen to it and disturbed him
a lot.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
He says. It's super inconsiderate.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Terrence Floyd also said to us that this generation doesn't
pay attention to what they say. They just want to
make a song and get it on the charts, and
they feel like because of who they are, people will
listen and accept it.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And that's not right. It's super inconsiderate.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
You should think about what you're writing and make it
make sense because it impacts other people.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
He also has a message for lo Yatty.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
He says, you know, if you're going to talk about
George Floyd, there, let there be a better message behind
George Floyd's name, so that his legacy can live beyond
the tragedy that Chauvin caused.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
The best way to not have your piece disturbed is
to not disturb the peace of others. Little Yachty into
everyone who can hear my voice, Please remember the simple
golden rule we learned in grade school. Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you. Okay, YACHTI,
you want respect, you gotta give it. And the root
of respect is not the full understanding of other people.
It is the recognition of people's non negotiable humanity. Please
(07:13):
give little Yatty the biggest he huh m, all.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Right, well thank you for that, donkey very. It's it's stupid,
just a wack line that doesn't make any sense. Dumb y'all.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right, but you know, today switching gears is the
It would be the fortieth born day of the late
Great Nipsey Hustle.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
That's right, and it's only right.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Nipsey Hustle's gonna pay a couple of times, and it's
only right to get back his interview fit. I feel
like we should celebrate Nipsey every opportunity we get, and
today is his born day day, he would have been
forty years old today. That's okay, and we're gonna get
that interview back on when we come back, So don't move.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
