Speaker 6 (04:00):

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Don't move us to breakfast club. Good morning.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Man, Well make sure you go pre order two chains
a book, The Boys in My Head is God, on
sale March third of this year.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
All right, good morning, everybody, let's get right in the
front page news.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
What's up to me?

Speaker 8 (04:27):
Good morning, Envy, Josh Charlamagne, how y'all doing. But we
start with today, So we're starting this morning with those
growing protests, so demonstrators, they are spreading nationwide over that
deadly ice shooting in Minneapolis, with protests now reported in Atlanta, Dallas, Washington,
d C, Philadelphia, and even here in New York City.

(04:47):
At thirty seven year old Renee Good, she was shot
and killed during an ice encounter as she tried to
leave the scene. The ice officer who fired the shots.
He has now been identified as Jonathan Ross. A record
show Ross is the same officer who he was dragged
about fifty yards during a separate ice incident last June,
and that incident is now under reviewed scrutiny. But the

(05:09):
outrage is not just about the shooting itself. It is
now about who is in charge of investigating it. So
Minnesota officials, they say the federal government has shut the
state out of a Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that's
the state's top investigative unit. They say they have now
been blocked from the case. A State officials say they
initially agreed to conduct a joint investigation with the FBI,

(05:32):
but they say federal authorities. They later reverse course and
cut the state from access to interviews, evidence and case materials. Now,
because of that, the state said it has reluctantly withdrawn
from the investigation. Governor Tim Wallas, he says the move
is raising serious concerns about fairness and transparency. Let's listen
to what he had to say.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Did it feels now that Minnesota has been taken out
of the investigation? People in positions of power have already
passed judgment, from the President to the Vice president to
Christy nom have stood and told you things that are
verifiably false, verifiably inaccurate. They have determined the character of

(06:15):
a thirty seven year old mom that they didn't even
know don't know.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
So when he says the state is withdrawn from the investigation,
does he mean for the moment? Because if the Feds don't,
you know, find anything, does that mean the state kid
go after it after that?

Speaker 8 (06:27):
Well, this is essentially a state case, right because it happened.
But the Feds are saying that And I'm going to
get to that because jd Vance, he came out and
he spoke about that. So the state is saying, you know,
we want to investigate this, and the Feds are saying, no,
this was a federal officer, this was shot, So this
is our jurisdiction, right. Vice President jd. Vance He told
reporters it would go against President for state officials to

(06:48):
be involved in prosecuting a federal agent, and he's arguing
that the officer has absolute immunity under federal law. Let's
listen to what he had to say, Jesus.

Speaker 9 (06:57):
First of all, I wish the state officials and Minutesta
would investigate why you have so many people who are
using their vehicles and other means to actually interfere with
a legitimate law enforcement operation.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
The president here is very simple.

Speaker 9 (07:10):
You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal
law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy is
protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job. The
idea that Tim Walls and a bunch of radicals in
Minneapolis are going to go after and make this guy's
life miserable because he was doing the job that he
was asked to do is preposterous.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
The unprecedented thing is.

Speaker 9 (07:31):
The idea that a local official can actually prosecute a
federal official with absolute immunity. I've never seen anything like that.
It would get tossed out by a judge.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Nobody cares if his life is miserable when he took
a life, but no qualified immunity.

Speaker 8 (07:45):
Not in this case, not in this case. And the
DOJ's own handbook goes against every way that shooting happening.
It happened every way went down. The DJ their own
guidelines say that he was absolutely wrong in this shooting.

Speaker 7 (07:57):
So it's also rose video.

Speaker 10 (08:00):
Oh, yesterday they had a candlelight visual for Renee and
agents was kicking our candles, not caring, threatening like the
people like back up, leave, you know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (08:11):
The disrespect right.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
So what happens from here? So what could happen to him?

Speaker 11 (08:16):
So?

Speaker 8 (08:17):
If anything, who knows, right, because he's being protected, he's
being protected. But you know, President Trump has come out,
the Vice president has come out, Christine Noman, they're all
protecting him right now. So uh and with the state
backing off, you know, we have to wait and see
what it is exactly going to happen. And did you
guys hear about the shooting in Portland because there was
another there was another shooting in Portland. Two people a

(08:39):
married couple. They were shot yesterday by an ICE officer
during a targeted traffic stop, and a Department of Homeland
Security said they were conducting that targeted traffic stop when
the driver tried to run them over with their vehicle
and it prompted the agent to fire a defensive shot. Now,
local officials they say they don't know if that account
is accurate because Portland mayor, he says the city can

(09:01):
no longer take uh the federal explanation at face value anymore,
and he wants ICE all ICE operations halted outside of
Portland right now. What those American citizens in Portland they were,
I don't know if they were American citizens, but they
said they were believed to be a part of the
what's that gang? The tried trade, you know, the tried

(09:21):
to you know what I'm talking about that gang. So
they believe they were part of pronounce it, you know
what I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm black.

Speaker 8 (09:33):
And then the last shooting, there was another shooting that
is flying under the radar this morning, just a little bit.
This one happened in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve.
So there was a federal officer, he was off duty
and he killed a black man, Keith Porter, Junior, and
a Department of Homeland Security says the agent was responding
to what it described as an active feuter situation. A
Porter's family, says the attorney. They strongly dispute that account.

(09:55):
They acknowledged that Porter was armed. So basically, he went
outside on New Year's Eve and he shot u gun.
He shot his gun into the air to celebrate New
Year's Eve. The officer lived in the same building that
he lived in. He came out and there was some
sort of like back and forth, and the officer, the
off duty federal agent, ended up shooting the man. There
was no body camera footage. There's no camera. LA officials

(10:18):
say the case is under investigation, but they say charging
an officer, especially a federal officer, involving those cases, it
can take years. Local leaders and especially his family in LA,
they are speaking out this morning. Let's listen to what
they had to say.

Speaker 12 (10:32):
Were this anyone else, there would have been an arrest.
You don't get to just murder people because you don't
like what they're doing or how they're celebrating. We want
him named, we want him arrested, and we want him prosecuted.
We also want ice out of LA.

Speaker 7 (10:49):
And this man was never even taken into the station.

Speaker 10 (10:51):
He went back into his home after murdering my little cousin.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
It's a lot going on.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
I don't even know where to begin, but I'm going
I want to go back to the Renee Good situation
for a second. The lack of empathy from Republicans on
that issue is not surprising because those guys are one band,
one sound in regards to their talking points.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
But I believe the most valid question is simply, how.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Do you just dismiss any wrongdoing without an investigation?

Speaker 13 (11:14):
Right?

Speaker 8 (11:15):
And that's what That's what state officials are trying to say.
They're just saying, you know, this man is he's innocent,
she was guilty. But all the video evidence, I know,
we've all seen the videos show with our eyes what happened.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
How are Republicans telling people they didn't see what we
all saw? That should be crazy. And I don't give
a damn about Republicans or Democrats. I care about what's
right and what's wrong, and what happened to Renee Good
was wrong, period. And like Martin Luther King Junior said,
an injustice anywhere as a threat to justice everywhere, and
as you could, just as you can tell from what
me and me Brown just reported, there's a lot of
justice being threatened right now.

Speaker 8 (11:46):
That's right, all right, we'll coming up a seven. We're
going to get into something that's going to affect your
paycheck and we'll tell you how it works. Damn, I know,
I know, I know it's affecting millions of people. We
got to talk about it coming out in seven.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
So we'll get into that next little to Fetti, It's

I want to be like he.

Speaker 10 (20:22):
Take me that the latest Breakfast.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Club Cool talk to me, l cool bak Laura.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Larossa good morning.

Speaker 7 (20:36):
Okay. So yesterday Fetti Wop was seen for the first
time because he was released after serving three years of
a six year sentence, and I received the first statement
that he sent out to the media. So he says,
I want to thank my family, friends and fans for
the love, prayers and continue to support it. Truly means
everything to me. Right now, my focus is on giving

(20:56):
back to my community initiatives and my foundation and support
Atage You children by expanding access to education, early tech schools,
and vision care for young kids and students so they
can show up as their best selves. I'm committed to
moving forward with purpose and making a meaningful impact where
it matters most. Yeah, and it looks good too, he does.

(21:17):
I also saw a video of him at his label
and they were like excited for him to you know,
be there as well too.

Speaker 10 (21:22):
Yeah, I forgot it was the Jennifer Hudson show, you
know they had then.

Speaker 7 (21:26):
I was first day out Jennifer Hudson Show.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
I forgot what he was even in prison for.

Speaker 7 (21:31):
So he was in prison for his role in a
alleged like I guess not of have to say alleged
because he was convicted. It was a drug drug ring.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:42):
So when he was busted way back when it was
some years ago, he was locked up with over five
hundred grams or more of cocaine and thousands of dollars
in cash. So the court decided to let him go
a bit early, which is a good sign because that
means that he's been doing well while he was locked
up and showed the court that. But now that he's out,
he will have strict guidelines because that was a part
of his sentencing too, for the next five years, so

(22:03):
drug testing. He can't open bank accounts without approval from
the Feds. He also has to keep probation in the
loop of like his earnings and his tax information. No
alcohol or drugs of course unless prescribed. And the court
can't even make it work like he has to do
like an outpatient like drug program and then continued testing
just because they're trying to make sure he's going to
stay focused. Like warehouse, not even really like a halfway house.

(22:25):
It's more of like a check in, like, well we
have to where he continually be tested. Yeah, it'll just
be a program that he'll have to go to whenever day.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
I can't wait to see him have some conversations though,
because you know he can make this a teachable moment.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Because Ferti Wap had a run half run.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
I know he made a whole lot of money, and
I remember an interview he did with these academics where
he talked about blowing a lot of money, and I
just want to know how you go from the run
blowing the money to back to I guess being involved.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
With he was hot at fired when he came out,
and remember he was making so much money.

Speaker 7 (23:04):
Even today you walk into like some stores, like I
remember walked in like a Target and one of his
songs was playing as like the commercial. Yeah, like even then,
it's still but I know at the time when he
was going through everything, that was what one of the
judges had said to him, like, you had this great
opportunity and you you didn't obviously you sit here in
front of me. So definitely this was a teachable time
in his life. So those conversations will be ones to

(23:25):
listen to now as we move on. Diddy is still
asking Trump for pardon. So Trump sat down with the
New York Times with several different reporters from the New
York Times. It didn't a wide ranging interview about a
bunch of different stuff. Now, in that interview, they begin
to ask him about different people he would pardon. Diddy's
name came up and he said that he received a letter,
an additional letter from Diddy talking about a pardon, and

(23:49):
he says that he has no plans to pardon him.
As of now, fifty Cent did respond to that. He
says that he's, you know, telling Diddy, I told you
to stop asking for a parton. I've already told him
what you said. Because remember that reports that Trump considered
to not consider it because of things that they did
said about him. And he said that in an interview
as well, that.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Means had a couple more Zeros had a couple of months.

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Moms said the same thing.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
A couple more Zeros.

Speaker 7 (24:12):
Mom said that she said, I wonder whether.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
It's gonna cost you.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
It's gonna cost you a lot more.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Okay, Yeah, now, switching gears a bit. Anthony Joshua, So
over the break, while we were not here, you guys
will know or probably know, that Anthony Joshua was involved
in a very serious car crash that killed two members
of his team. So yesterday he posted very sad. Yesterday
he posted on his Instagram just thanking people for all

(24:38):
the love. He says, thank you for all the love
and care you have shown my brothers, Lats and Senna.
I didn't even realize how special they are. I'll just
be walking with them and cracking jokes with them, not
even knowing. God kept me in the presence of great men.
One hundred percent. It's tough for me, but I know
it's even tougher for their parents. I have a strong
mind and I believe God knows their hearts made. God

(25:00):
have mercy on my brothers. With the prayer hand emojis,
yeah Nigeriaeria, Yeah, over the holiday that happened in Nigeria.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
Definitely sending healing energy to AJ and to the families,
the two families of the individuals that were killed.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
If AJ never fights again, I'll completely understand.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
Oh al same, I will completely I know there was
rumors people will speculating name might retire if he never
fought again.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I could.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
I can completely understand, because how do you witness something
like that and then emotionally and mentally prepare yourself to
get back in the rank?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Training brother, Yes, yeah, totally agree.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
It was a scripting conditioning coach and his personal training
and not to mention his friends and you were in
the car with them, like you probably watched them think
their last breath. That's that's traumatic, beyond traumatic, very.

Speaker 7 (25:42):
Much so, very much so. As we uh, you know, wrap,
you know, I just want to mention in the next
hour we are going to be you know, talking about
some more court things because us and this is switching gears,
but Salt and Pepper. They remember that lawsuit that they
filed saying that they should have their masters.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
They spoke about the Hall of Fame, right.

Speaker 7 (26:00):
Yes, there was a lot of big conversation around that.
A judge has decided to dismiss that lawsuit, and uh,
we're gonna talk about what that means for them. And
I also got a chance to speak to Herbie love
Buck yesterday. Who is you know, responsible for their careers
and who was also mentioned in the dismissal. So we're
gonna talk about that.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
All right, we'll get to that next now coming up
in a little bit.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
We'll coming up next actually at Front Page News and
then Keith Sweat will be joining us.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
And don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning

Speaker 2 (26:27):
A long work week, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
It's a Friday too. I know sometimes you might be stressed.
Don't think about doing the donkey, so you want to
open it up for the people. Yeah, today, you know,
we've been going for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 15 (26:37):
Man.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
So you know on Fridays we do the people's donkeys.
So call us right now one hundred and five A five,
one oh five to one, and you can give somebody
the credit they deserve for being stupid.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Call right now.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, let's get into some front page news.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
What's up to me?

Speaker 8 (26:49):
Good morning and being jess. All right, So we start
this hour with a major federal move that could affect
millions of Americans. So this week, the federal government they started,
they started.

Speaker 7 (27:02):
We do that again.

Speaker 8 (27:03):
Wait, we love, we love.

Speaker 7 (27:05):
Okay, that's cool.

Speaker 8 (27:07):
So we start this hour with a major federal move
that could affect millions of Americans. So that move is
the federal government. They have restarted wage garnishment for people
who are behind on their federal student loans. So the
Department of Education says borrowers who are already in default
they should have began receiving notices on January seventh warning
that money could soon be taken directly out of their paychecks.

(27:29):
So more notices they're going out every month. So this
marks the first major return of forced collections since the
pandemic pause. That ended right after the when the pandemic
ended in twenty twenty one ish. So now what's happening.
And many families are already under major financial pressure. You know,
we've got rising healthcare cause, affordability crisis, all of those things.

(27:51):
And now the federal government says they want their money
for your federal student loans. So the White House says
that it is restarting those collections and it is about
account of ability, and it's about returning to normal enforcement.
So LUs remind ourselves what the White House have to
say about collecting a student loan debt.

Speaker 20 (28:08):
The student loan portfolio controlled by the federal government is
nearly one point six trillion dollars, but fewer than four
out of ten borrowers are in repayment. This is unsustainable, unfair,
and a huge liability for American tax payers. Borrowers will
now be clearly expected to repay their loans, and those
who default on their loan obligations will face involuntary collections.

Speaker 8 (28:33):
Okay, so here's how that process will work. So once
a federal student loan is in default, the government does
not need a court order to collect money. So employers,
your employer can be instructed to withhold money directly from
your paycheck up to fifteen percent of your take home pay.
So you're supposed to receive a thirty day notice before
that garnishment begins. But if you ignore that letter, that
does not stop the process. And with this fast paced

(28:56):
news cycle, a lot of people have missed. This information
is flying under the rate are So if you have
a federal student loan, you would want to go to
a studentaid dot gov check your loan status, make sure
your contact information is current. And if you get any
mail from the Department of Education, you want to open it,
or from your loan services you want to open it.
There are options to get out of default, but you

(29:18):
have to act.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
So school me right because I didn't go to college.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
So if you get a check for like, let's just
say twelve hundred hours, how much do they garnish fifteen?

Speaker 8 (29:26):
So what's that?

Speaker 2 (29:26):
I don't know who's twelve hundred and about? Calculatred dollars?
Now we've got calculated right here on the phone.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
Now what's saying it?

Speaker 2 (29:33):
What do you say?

Speaker 7 (29:34):
Fourteen fits it?

Speaker 17 (29:35):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (29:36):
Damn man, one hundred fifty or like would be one twenty?

Speaker 2 (29:43):
To do is after phone. What is fifteen percent twelve
one time?

Speaker 8 (29:50):
Yes, but for a lot of people, that's a lot
of money, especially now, right, So you really want to
make sure that you go to what did I say,
Federal Student Loan Gov? And make sure that you are
not so yes, it's student Loan dot gov. And check
your status because that those notices started on January seventh.

(30:10):
Check your mail, check your email, and just make sure
that they are not coming for your paycheck.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
You just aren't you glad you didn't go to college?

Speaker 4 (30:16):
I am a little bit now.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, you would have paid off your college by now.

Speaker 7 (30:20):
Now I still well, but what's the next story?

Speaker 2 (30:24):
You still hold what because.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
I went to No, you don't own Baltimore City Community College,
no money, that's not it.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
CCBC is Community College of Baltimore City.

Speaker 7 (30:33):
Shut up? But goe all right, all right, well there.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
How much you old of him?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
It gotta be like one hundred dollars, right yo? Stop playing?

Speaker 8 (30:42):
All right, all right, all right, let me get it. Okay,
So wait, there may be a small glimmer of hope
y'all on the healthcare front this morning. So, after months
of fallout from the higher insurance cost those affordable those
Affordable Healthcare Acts subsidies. They expired at the end of
twenty twenty five. We've been talking about that a lot,
so now in twenty twenty six, the impact is being
felt so for millions of Americans who buy their insurance

(31:03):
on the ACA marketplace. Premiums have doubled. Some people have
been dropped from their insurance because they couldn't afford those
new monthly costs, and the others were you know, they
just simply were kicked off, and others they voluntarily just said, Okay,
I can't afford these premiums. So now the House is
trying to reverse some of that damage. Yesterday, the House
voted to extend those ACA credits for three years, passing

(31:26):
the bill two thirty to one, ninety six seventeen Republicans
they joined Democrats to approve the measure. Supporters say that
it's they're trying to restore those lower monthly premiums and
help people who lost their coverage to get back on insurance.
But the deal is not done yet. It now will
head to the Senate, where it will face an uphill battle.
Lawmakers on the Senate they are split. You know, a

(31:48):
similar three year extension it already failed, and Republicans they
are demanding changes, including tighter eligibility rules, minimum monthly premiums,
and a new anti fraud measure.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yeah, I believe they'll cut some type of deal to
make it happen.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
And I think part of that deal is going to
be uh calling it trump Care, like officially the name
of some type of something with Trump in then.

Speaker 6 (32:09):
But I would also tell people to call your insurance
company because what they were doing is if the contract
ended December thirty, first, you couldn't go back to your
same doctor. But there's certain things called postop, so like
if you had a procedure or something that only your
doctor would know, the insurance company.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Has to cover it.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
They have to cover it, so and they give you
three months to do that coverage. So if you had
a surgery, let's say December, and you have to go
back to that doctor, it has to be covered because
it makes no sense to go to a new doctor
when this is the doctor that treated you.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
He's the doctor that did the surgery, he's a doctor
that did the breakdown.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
So call your insurance company because they give you I
think it's a three month grace period.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Did they do post up after your nose job envy
continue how to get no those.

Speaker 8 (32:44):
Job and speaking about envy, you know this is not.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Those jobs, thinking about something else that.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
Yes, yes, we're going.

Speaker 8 (32:50):
To move on to flu season because you know the
flu season this this year has been very, very wild. Yeah, crazy.
It's been a rough flue season. It's been driven by
a new strain the doctors are calling a super flu.
The CDC says the US is seeing its highest flu
activity in nearly thirty years. Nearly every state is reporting

(33:11):
rising cases and hospitalizations are climbing fast, and New York
has has been hit especially hard. Between December twenty sixth
and January second, more than forty five hundred people were
hospitalized with the flu in a single week, and that's
the highest number of the state has ever recorded. A
doctor say that hospitals are understrained, and they warned that
we have not even reached the peak yet.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
It's crazy.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
Like I told you guys, for my littles, I'll tell
you my littles, which is London, Brooklyn, Jackson, and Peyton.
They all got the flu and it affected them in
different ways. Like I tell you, Peyton was in the
hospital for ten days Brooklyn was in the hospital for
two days. London and Jackson it just went right through
their system. So it affects the bodies differently, but it
is very serious. Take it serious. If your kids have fever,

(33:55):
make sure you stay on top of their fever ice
rags to make sure that fever drops. I know the
physicians and the doctors, and if you go to urgent care,
they'll say it just has to go through the system.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
That is true. But keep an eye on your kids.
You know best.

Speaker 6 (34:08):
You know your kids better than anybody out there, any
doctor out there. So if you feel anything, you rush
into the emergency room fast.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Do you still get the flu shot?

Speaker 7 (34:15):
Every years?

Speaker 8 (34:18):
Doctors are saying to get the flu shot. They say
that you know this, this strain isn't perfect, it isn't
a match for it, but it will help. It will
help lessen the symptoms, that's what they're saying.

Speaker 10 (34:28):
Yeah, but one of the symptoms are you lose feeling
in your legs? Yeah, so like already upgrading the flute
shot or.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
What the variant changes? Every year?

Speaker 5 (34:39):
Shots every year? I remember they used to do them
up here at iHeart every year, right.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
But they also said that not enough people are taking
the flu shot, and because it's not enough people are
taking the actual flu shot, it's not covering people the
way that it should. It's not covering the community the
way that it should because people are not getting the
flu shot like they should. So it's almost in some
parts ineffective like it should be.

Speaker 5 (34:57):
You remember that time. It was It was years ago,
like we was probably two years in. You went and
got the flu shot, and you was like, did you
go get your chip in your arm? You got the
chip in the arm around the corner. I just went
and got my chip. You should go get the chip
in your arm. I said to myself, everything Wendy Williams
said about him and.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Clue is true.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
That is That's what I thought to myself, what you
thought about him.

Speaker 6 (35:15):
It was a joke because they were saying that if
you get the flu shot, they're actually putting the chip
in you in there following you.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
I was making joke of MMM's crazy. Yeah, crazy.

Speaker 8 (35:27):

So what does it matter who closes out a show
like that? Do you care? I mean, because you got
the hits, you got the legacy, Do you care where you.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
I really don't care for Nobody really wants to go
on after me, you know what I'm saying. But I
don't really care because the sweet spot normally is nine
thirty ten o'clock at the show. That's the sweet spot.
So you know, sometimes people cry about you know, but
nowadays when people come to the show, they they're more
concerned about what kind of show you put on, they
don't really care who head line it because you know,
it's like, as long as you rock the joint, you

(38:04):
know they're gonna talk about you. That's what I do.
I say, you want to close your close, I don't care.

Speaker 7 (38:08):
Who put together lineup.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Well, you know you can't get me on my show
unless than I agree to it. I gotta agreed to it,
so you know, any any deals I do, it's like,

got dancers. You got my dad, I got eight twelve dances.
I don't need to dance.

Speaker 7 (38:50):
I got you.

Speaker 5 (38:51):
You know, when people talk about R and B, keep
like your name is like foundational when it comes to
R and B.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
At what point did you.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
Realize you weren't just making songs, you were like shaping
a whole sound.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
I mean when I came in, I knew I could
do up temple and slow and they all had the
same effects, So like there's nothing I can you know,
like I do Apple bea R and B slow fast,
it doesn't matter. So I mean I knew at that point,
once I knew I could do whatever, you know, I
knew I would. I would captivate you know that R

(39:21):
and B audience because of the fact, you know everybody
in the R and B game can't do everything. But
you sound crazy if you're doing the slow. So if
youel ballad, did you sound crazy trying to do an
up temple joint and don't work for everybody?

Speaker 7 (39:32):
How do you feel when like some of your songs
like I know I won't be here for long, it's
like the TikTok and even on Instagram, like it's like
the go to for a lot of the videos that
people use for the means when that happens, like as
an artist, like when you're watching that, how do you
feel when you see people using your sounds across TikTok
and Instagram? Like all these years later, I feel.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
Good about it because I felt like I did what
I needed to do. I accomplished what I needed to accomplish.
I made an effect on the whole generation, you know,
so like you know, it makes me feel good. It
makes me feel proud about yo, I created this because
you know, I write and produce all my joints. So
you know, me writing and producing my joints and people
still loving it to this day makes me feel like, Yo,

(40:14):
I am that dude.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Yeah, I saw you post.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
Can somebody please explain to me how Mary go Around
ended up on roadblocks?

Speaker 2 (40:21):
How did you? Because whatever you wasn't on roads everywhere?

Speaker 4 (40:26):
No I was. I looked at that joint, I said,
what the hell is this?

Speaker 21 (40:30):
Now?

Speaker 4 (40:30):
I don't I don't even know, man, It's just I
look at Instagram and and Facebook and YouTube and like,
what the hell is this?

Speaker 2 (40:38):
But how did you hear you was on roadblocks?

Speaker 4 (40:40):
I just happened to look at see it happening.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Just happened to something.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
Some chips got a kid roadblocks In my life, I'm.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
On roadblocks and whatever blocks from block. Interesting to know
how you got.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
A whole generation that's rediscovering like real grown R and B.
So so, so, what do you think like modern R
and B is getting right? And what do you think
that they're missing that they keep coming back to the
O G stuff.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
Well, like, I had a conversation with Pleasure and all,
some of them young brothers, and I said, man, y'all,
y'all keep saying R and B is dead. Y'all kill
rm B because you'll want to curse the songs. Y'all
want to act like rm B is a rap record.
You know what I'm saying. I mean, R and B
is full player. R and B is you know, y'all
took the whole four play game out there. Rather if
you're cursing and you're trying to make up with your

(41:44):
girl or whatever, and you're playing R and B song,
you curse and how you're gonna make up, y'all have
an augast. So now that record arguing with y'all to
join the argument, you know what I'm saying. So I'm like,
that's not what R and B was about. That's what
R and B is, the metal melon, you know what

(42:05):
I'm saying. For y'all to sit down, talk it out,
talking out, talking out. Y'all done killed the game. So
that's why they keep sampling. They like O make it last.
Lady like me, nobody you know you got me twisted girl.
You know what I'm saying. I said, that's what everybody's
going back to. That's why every sample in my, my,
my songs.

Speaker 6 (42:25):
I got into an argument with this guy Starbucks yesterday,
right two days ago. He works there, and he was
talking about hip hop and R and B and he
was saying that people are making R and B hip
hop and I'm like, that's not true. I'm like, there
are some R and B artists out of hip hop,
like Mary J. Blige, I say, Chris Brown, I said,
they are R and B artists that are not hip hop.
And I'm like, like, Keep Sweat is an R and
B artist. So do you think that when you talk

(42:47):
about the cursing in the music, do you think there's
different levels of doing it, different ways of doing it,
Like the hip hop version to R and B and
then just R and B went.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
Back in the day, R and B was just R
and B. Even when Mary did it back in the day,
she still did it arm you know. So, I think
sometimes we as R and B artists have a tendency
to do is we try to be recreate ourselves and
we know follow the trend of what everybody else is doing,
which doesn't work for everybody and it shouldn't work for everybody.

(43:18):
I'm not trying to follow what everybody else is doing.
That's why I'm in this lane by myself, or certain
lane by myself, because I don't care what he doing
on the right or he doing on the left. Because
for so long people have talked about he sweat, but
he don't do this, he don't do that, he don't
do that. So now my point is I'm just laughing
thirty our years later and say, y'all thought I couldn't

(43:39):
do this, and I did. I didn't do that because
I didn't want to do that.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
You couldn't to dance. That's it.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
That's the only I heard I could dance. You've seen
me on something to go back and look at something
that no. No, But you know, like for instance, like
I never won a BT award. I never want to
grab me, you know what I'm saying. But when I
get on stage, I always say all of my grammars
could look. You know everybody that has done that, they're

(44:08):
not even still relevant. You know, I'm still headlining. I'm
still doing what I do, so I'm still able to
do tours and you know, do six seven thousand or more. People. So,
you know, Africa been trying to get me over there
for the longest. You know what I'm saying. They trying
to go up on the money more and more, please me.
Stee sweat coming to sleep me. You know what I'm saying.

(44:31):
I've been to Africa. I've been. I've been all over
app I've been a Kate Town, Derb and you know, Johannesburg, Nigerry.
I've been to Africa before. But you know, I mean
you little last time when the Africa was funny because
they got me because you know, he said, you're playing
in Africa. I say, okay, So I'm in Africa right,

(44:53):
I'm we in the car driving so I said, well
the sugar, I said, oh man, they having a game
over there. It's packed out. It's a soccer stadium. He said,
my brother, that's what you befomed me tonight. I said,
hold up, wait a minute, let me get this person
on the phone. You said him, He said, it sold
out soccer stadium, standing room only. Hey man, I called

(45:14):
back to America. I said, man, if you don't put
some more money in mind, I'm coming home. So that's
the last time I've been South Africa. When it was
soccer stadium, you know I did. It was packed out,
it was damn man, and so.

Speaker 7 (45:28):
So you thought she was doing a smaller venue.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
Oh my god, yes I did. And then I seen
I said, minute the game there, No, that's what you so.
So now they're getting it all together, so you know,
you know, they sent me some stuff. They want me
gone to Sambia. You know what, I'm kenya all. You know,
they trying to put the whole thing together. But I
said before I go, I want to make sure.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
That's what stadiums.

Speaker 4 (45:53):
You doing at the stadiums and the money got to
be what it got.

Speaker 5 (45:57):
Do you think pain is necessary to meet great arms?
Or can joy be just as powerful in these love songs?
I've never been happy making the love song.

Speaker 8 (46:06):
No.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
I mean, you know, like my best songs came from
being hurt. Make It last Forever. That first album was
a hurt, was all pain, and nobody was I think
it was all pain. You know, like we all go
through things in our life, you know what I'm saying,
and some people you know, and it doesn't necessarily a female.
You know what I'm saying, Things hit you at it.

(46:28):
You know where you least suspected. You know, we could
be like one day and be like going on the
next you know what I'm saying. So, you know, that's
when I think I get my best ideas when I
run in the studio after you know, I'm going through something,
because that's like for me therapeutic. I can write songs
and it's they're very therapeutic for me, and I'm like,

(46:49):
oh my god, because I've written songs in two hours,
three songs and two hours and they were hit, you know,
and it was therapeutic for me. It was like me,
you know, getting counseling. You know what I'm saying, that
type of stuff.

Speaker 5 (47:01):
That's interesting you said because a lot of your records
do feel like conversations people were afraid to have in
real life.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
So you are writing from personal experience, right.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
I don't know if you want to share. But during
to Make It Last for every time, like what was
it that you were this girl cheating on me? Ahead?

Speaker 4 (47:18):
So I was like, yo, so I went through a
whole It was like what I really went through. Something
just ain't right was really something just ain't right. Make
it last was really make it last. Don't stop your
love was really don't stop your look how deep video
love was?

Speaker 15 (47:34):
Really? Yo?

Speaker 4 (47:34):
You don't really love me like you.

Speaker 6 (47:35):
Say you love me? Yeah, so make it last. She
cheated on you with another celebrity, a ball player.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Just a regularly on me.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
She came. She came to her school reunion, saying, a
guy with one of whole You know, actually I was
in New Yorse. She came to Atlanta and where I live,
and then with her girlfriend. Hold On, damn, damn, you
get with the girl knocked on girl?

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Your girlfriend?

Speaker 4 (48:05):
Man, I don't want a girlfriend us a snitch, but
that's how you felt for You want happy that the
girl came to you and told you what was up?
Na that made hurt more?

Speaker 7 (48:22):
So you rather be cheated on in peace? You might
not even know about.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
I want to know what I don't want to know.
You know, it's kind of like you want to know,
but you said some things are better said on said.
You know what I'm saying. You know how that is.
You want to know what you don't want to know?
You know what I'm saying. So it's like I'm like, damn,
do I really want to know?

Speaker 5 (48:38):
Because some things that hit you harder knowing getting that
confirmation something you would always had that little biting you saying, well,
maybe that didn't have it, you know, but what you
know it did happen, you'll be on the whole other level.

Speaker 15 (48:53):
Man.

Speaker 10 (48:53):
So you thought she was cheating like you already had
added in my mind.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
But she put that, give you that, and I was like,
damn girl.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
They'll go back to check out she's doing. But like,
I hope she's doing bad now you check on Facebook.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
I'm a funny. I want everybody cheating on me to
do bad. Anybody. Now that's the that's the that's people mentality,
because if you if they do, if they cheated on you,
and they and they and you're doing good, they hate that.
That's the word. And they look at you. Oh god,

(49:27):
oh man, you know what I'm saying. But if you're
doing bad, they'd be I thank god I left that one,
so you be one. It's kind of like that's it's selfish,
but it's real. And if somebody say that's not true,
they lie. I don't care what nobody said.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
You know, it's interrected to keeping.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
People would think that you're a player and you out
here sleeping with a bunch of girls and stuff, but you.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Seem like you was a one woman man.

Speaker 7 (49:57):
What's that you were fayful in that whole situation before
you find out you cheat it?

Speaker 4 (50:00):
I think I was.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
I think I was. She wasn't cheating back, No, no, no,
I think because I was into it. You know what
I'm saying. If I'm into somebody, I ain't trying to
mess it up, mess it up. But if I ain't
really into you, because you know, sometimes you thank you
into somebody you ain't into somebody, think you see something
else walking? Oh you know what I'm saying. I guess
I wasn't into right, But the mind can't be open.

(50:30):
But so I'm funny man, because you know, you know
the one. If I'm into you, I'm into you. But
if you if I if I see the slightest little
bit of you know, something that you ain't there, man,
I'm then then I'm like that. Right now, I'm going
through that, you know what I mean. I'm going through that.
They think they slick, but they ain't slicking. I'm putting
them out there for y'all.

Speaker 7 (50:54):
That I was okay, explain they think they slip, what
they're doing. What's happening when you when.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
You when you're doing wrote songs about bangs, when you're
on the experience thing. You know, when somebody being select you
know what I'm saying. When somebody doing banging somebody else too,
you know what I'm saying. So you know what I'm saying.
And they, you know, they have a tendency to play that,
oh I'm a good girl role. Don't play that like Yo,
my attitude is this right? Anybody right? And this is

(51:22):
the truth. If you want to open a relationship, just say, yo,
I wanna do my thing, You do your thing with me.
Back together, be together. You know, you take care of
things with me when I'm with you. And if you
won't be with the next man, let him do what
he do when he with you. Because if that's what
you want, there's nothing wrong with that, because now you've
been because now that you don't want to play with

(51:43):
people feelings and emotions. It's a dangerous game out here
when you're playing with people feelings and emotions. So it's
like I tell people all day long, that's not something
to toy with. You know what I'm saying, Because if
you ever been hurt, that joint ain't no joke. For real,
and some people can't handle pain that kind of pain.
I can handle it, you know what I'm say. Because
I go in, the students start singing. You know what

(52:05):
I'm saying. Everybody can. It's so it's like it's better
for people to say, Yo, this is what I want
to do.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
You do you?

Speaker 4 (52:11):
When you do you, I do meet and then when
we want to be together we do. Yeah. But you
cannot keep make somebody or you can't ask somebody do
certain things that you're only your real significant other should
do and playing games with them that is not some
of the toylet So you gotta make a real commitment.

Speaker 7 (52:28):
Are you in a relationship right now? Are you in
a relationship right now?

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Sometimes I think sometimes, man, you got to stop with this.

Speaker 7 (52:37):
How does she know what she's playing games?

Speaker 9 (52:38):
If?

Speaker 7 (52:39):
Like what do y'all y'all have like boundaries or like
a certain situation set up, Like there's like like are
you exclusive? Like what is she playing? You're supposed to
be so y'all are supposed to be exclusive right now?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
But don't talk ready to go back and tell a girl?

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Don't tell her.

Speaker 7 (52:57):
I'm just trying to figure it out because I just
wanted to know where you're coming from.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
Okay, that you got it. I know you know.

Speaker 7 (53:02):
Okay, exactly.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
What the closest you think you ever been to getting married?

Speaker 4 (53:09):
I've been married, You're married a long time ago. Don't
bring it up though. Damn whatever you are, great, move
on to another.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Didn't last like that. Who do you listen to when
you're going through a heartbreak?

Speaker 5 (53:29):
Because people listen to your music when they sweat you
just go in there and write something.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
You think I'm playing, No, I'm not playing. I don't
want to hear nobody else singing to me when I'm
going to a heart break. I want to hear me
sing to me and say, Yo, this is how you
fix your situation. I promise you. I do not listening
nobody else when I'm going to heartbreak because I've written
too many songs to heal myself. You know what I'm saying.
I go back and listen to you know, because I've
been for Drew Hill, n Isley, Immature, everybody, right, so

(53:58):
I can listen to some of them songs. You know
what I'm saying. Say, Okay, this is because, like I said,
every time I've been through a situation, I've been able
to write, and so I can go to maybe the
second third album and listen the something that be, like
damn that and it might heal man feel good? You know,
I feel good about it.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
But can an R and B singer have a night off?

Speaker 4 (54:19):
Right?

Speaker 6 (54:20):
What I mean by that is you guys sing to
these these ladies and you, guys, these ladies desire you
when y'all get into the bedroom.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Y'all can't have a night off because it's over.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
It's over because you can't have it because you are
R and B sing.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
What you're trying to say, like you put it down?

Speaker 6 (54:35):
Yeah, like if you if you don't, you always it's
the pressure there for you.

Speaker 4 (54:39):
Ain't no pressure for me, man, he said, you talking
about pressure for you?

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Your God damn gave you some chicken wings and set
you on your way.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
That let me ask you telling you you're not an
arm you are not an R and b Art, but
you a celebrity. So they're playing pressure for you.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
It's my wife.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
There's still pressure on wife that I'm glad you book.

Speaker 5 (55:06):
He talks about how he didn't make his wife all
gather him for ten years.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
It got it.

Speaker 6 (55:16):
We made when we were fifteen to sixteen years What
was round with the joint?

Speaker 5 (55:23):
Was round with the joint, wasn't I used.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
To think sex was point.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
You just gonna bank bank bank bank bank. I was
sixteen years old. Fifteen, Hey man, I made my mouth
just not for my man.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
Get at the sock. It wasn't working. That man a decade.

Speaker 15 (55:49):
Boat.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
All right.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
Listen, anything you understand now about religing that you wish
you knew when you was writing them Heartbreak Record?

Speaker 4 (56:04):
Nah, I think I understand everything. I understood stuff back then.
But you know, like it's always wishful thinking. You know,
you know what you know, but you know, we just
have wishful thinking. We hope that when we get into
something that's gonna be you know, perfect, But that ain't
nothing perfect, So you know what I'm saying. So the
things I felt that it could be ends up being
that way, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
So we all have wishful thinking.

Speaker 4 (56:26):
We all want certain things to be amazing and and
and great. That's why I said make it last forever,
because that's wishful thinking. That's what make it last forever
was about wishful thinking. We want everything to last forever.
But though it was, it's just not that way, you
know what I'm saying. Things just gonna you know, He's
gonna have bumps in the road, and anything you do

(56:47):
in life, it's gonna be some bumps in the road.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Is anything you're still trying to prove?

Speaker 15 (56:51):
Right?

Speaker 6 (56:51):
You mentioned you didn't get to be to your ward? No, Grammy,
is there anything that you want or you're just right now?
It's all like I'm just having a good time.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
Before God is good and I'm just happy that I like,
like when I grew I grew up in the Grand
you know, I grew up in the projects hall on
twenty fifth Street. More onto I namn. So that like
for me to even be where I'm somewhere where I
never thought I would ever be, never had an idea,
you know, all my dreams from me walking down the

(57:18):
street watching Old Jay's on the at the parlor on
the parlor night the Marquis, all the people Teddy saying, damn,
maybe one day I'll be there, you know what I'm saying.
And to have accomplished that and and more than ever
I thought I would ever accomplished, you know, to me,
you know, I've gotten my heart's desire, and you know

(57:40):
what I'm saying, I got more than what, because there's
a lot of people that will never ever get their
heart desire, things they dreaming about in life. So I
think we're blessed, you know, for all those that have
gotten certain things in life, we're definitely blessed to have
been able to get, build and get what a lot
of things I like that most people will.

Speaker 5 (58:01):
Yeah, but you know, I think about like a BT
on a Teddy Riley, like that was maybe ten years
ago now, right, They got to do that for you
because if you want to do a new Jack swing
tribute definitely sloping.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
What what further of all if you don't give it
to me when after that, Like I told my daughter,
if God forbid, I'll leave here today tomorrow, you better
not take no award they try to give you now,
you know, don't try to give me my fliers when
I'm not here. And then like I be seeing them
do that to people, and I'm like, yo, you never
really acknowledged them like that when they was head Come on,
I don't want that, you know what I'm saying. It's

(58:35):
like I'm the man that I am. You know, I'll
teach my kids to be the same way. You know,
be proud men, don't be take a hand out. You
know what I'm saying. Don't give it to me because
now you want to make this big thing and you
want people to come and acknowledge. Man, that's for the
networks and that's not me.

Speaker 7 (58:54):
But you don't think that it adds, like just education
around your legacy, because there are a lot of people
who don't know your role in the new Jackson.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
To my own documentary and put my own I don't
need to do, you know, because I can. I got
my money to do my own doc eight nine ten episodes.
If I want to do it, put it all together,
and that's what I do. Now, you know what I'm saying.
And you won't buy this, you won't add it, and

(59:22):
then I own the car. I own it. That's how
you do things today. I'm not gonna do that. That's
why I never did on the song and none of
the other stuff, right because I'm not going to let
you have my thing and show it at any time
you want to show you this is now. You can't
do that to me. So I'll do mine, sell it
to you, and then I tell you when I want

(59:43):
you to show that, then when I want you to
stop to tell your story. Yeah, because half the people,
the stories that are told are not real story, They're
not true. And know they leave a lot of tape
on the floor, and we want to show the next
what we want to show. What they want to show
the fabric and I don't want that. You know, you
can't fabricate. And you know, I mean, it's just like
everybody said the new jack swings started on my first album. No,

(01:00:06):
it did not start on my first album. I was
what Suitra Records, Marge Leevey Adam Levy when they had
the Fat Boys. I was producing for Suitre Records back
in the day. You know what I'm saying. I had
got two records on the end of at All, I
wanted my baby. My mind is right. I was with
Tony Lopez with g Q. You know what I'm saying,
back in the day on the hun sixty fifth Street
and Woody Crest Avenue in the Bronx. You know what

(01:00:28):
I'm saying. So my legacy extends to y'all. Y'all just
know the make it last for ever part. You know
what I'm saying. With people thinking Don't Stop Your Love
was my first song. That's what I got my deal
on Don't Stop Your Love. It wasn't on I wanted
it was on don't Stop your Love, you know, And
Benson Davis gave me the deal with entertainment and that's

(01:00:49):
where it all started.

Speaker 7 (01:00:50):
What made you want to do radio? And you got your.

Speaker 4 (01:00:52):
Radio shows so long ago, doing that for ever?

Speaker 7 (01:00:54):
Yeah, but what made you want to do radio?

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
I don't know. Dout winners.

Speaker 19 (01:01:01):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
It's like he's just like he said, Yo, let's I said,
let's do radio. I just did radio because it was
like the next thing, that my next move. Everything is
the next move, like you know, like executive producing movies.
All do is my next move, my next one. What's
my next move? You know what I'm saying that type
of stuff. So I'll be on that next move thing,

(01:01:22):
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (01:01:23):
Got a candle line?

Speaker 7 (01:04:09):
You wanted you to say it like that? I mean
listeners we got.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
That's just lasty. Let's get to the latest with Laura.
Your talk yell cool bad.

Speaker 7 (01:04:19):
Yeah, I mean not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself.
I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about
everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you
and go I want to be like you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Take me that, Take me that the latest on the breakfast.

Speaker 7 (01:04:39):
Club, cool band, talk to me, all right, guys. So
Salt and Pepper so back in May of twenty twenty five,
they filed a suit against Universal Music Group, and they
alleged that Universal Music Group was holding their music hostage
by not allowing them to proclaim control of the music's
intellectual property. So what they were arguing was that law

(01:05:02):
that thirty five years after the music's release, they're supposed
to be able to file to terminate their contracts and
then own the master recordings of their music put out
on this deal. Now, Universal Music Group pushed back and
they said, no, that is you can't do that because
you guys didn't originally sign the contract, so you don't

(01:05:23):
have the power to then actually terminate the contract to
then own the master recordings. So Universal Music Group acts
for that lawsuit to be dismissed. A judge has granted
that dismissal, and the dismissal after being reviewed. The judge
granted it because the judge says that Salt and Pepper
had ownership, that Pepper had granted ownership of their first

(01:05:46):
to their first label, which was Noise in the Attic
Nita Productions, and that contract for the recordings was between
Next Plateau Records in Nita so in the latter of
which so Nita was arned owned by Herbie Lovebug, who
you know, it's like manager responsible for a lot of
Salt n Pepper's career and putting them on. So basically,
what the judge is saying is that they weren't the

(01:06:07):
ones who signed the contract, so they can't terminate the contract.
It's not UMG's issue now. I reached out to Salt
from Salt and Pepper, who did not get back to me.
I also reached out to Herbie love Bug and his
only response to me was he says my comment, No,
he says my comment. He says, my comment is this
question why didn't need a file for termination? And basically

(01:06:28):
what they are basically what he's leaning in on is
if that is true, we would have just went about
it that way. So there will be some more arguing
here because one of the things that Salt and Pepper
has been saying for a while, even when they did
a sit down with Good Morning America before they did
the Rock and Roll Hall of fame is that this
contract is from like forty plus years ago and they're
being held to things that make no sense at this point. So,

(01:06:49):
you know, I haven't heard from Salt n Pepper directly,
but I mean I can only assume that this fight
isn't going to stop here. Yeah, they deserve Yeah, and
Universal Music Group has run on the record to say
and even after this, they released another statement saying that
they've tried to mediate this behind the scenes outside of
this lawsuit. They want Salton Pepper to be paid. They
want their legacy to you know, be amplified and all
the things, and they were trying to figure out a

(01:07:09):
way to pay them directly, but obviously that wasn't enough
for Salt and Pepper, so they decided to you know,
take means or matters into their own.

Speaker 5 (01:07:15):
I do understand why everybody wants to exploit everybody like
that production company shouldn't want to exploit Salt and Pepper.
They didn't make so much money off of them, Like,
why not at this point, you know, do something that
is fair and equitable for everybody across the board.

Speaker 7 (01:07:27):
Right, Yeah, I think the issue is though everybody.

Speaker 6 (01:07:30):
Because they got their money back. I'm sure times one hundreds, absolutely,
you know, I mean, yeah, they should do this right,
Some Pepper shouldn't have to fight like this to be
a legacy group like that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
They should have how much more season than do you need?

Speaker 7 (01:07:40):
Yeah? A hey yo, I'm glad you left Jessicae. She
needed it. So in other news, speaking of potential exploitations,
So there was a story that DMX was going to
be ordained as a minister. And this story, I mean
to me, it came out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
I keep saying, MVY said it, but I think we
reported it. You weren't here.

Speaker 6 (01:08:04):
I wasn't here, and I think you gave me a
bunch of stories of report so I reported it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Well, so I don't remember that story.

Speaker 7 (01:08:11):
I don't I don't know where this. I don't remember
you reporting that story, did yous?

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
Okay, well look let me minister.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
I'm not doing it on envy because I'm not going
to take that from you. Vno him. I was trying
to help you.

Speaker 7 (01:08:29):
I don't know what you're doing here ignoring him. Okay.
So there's a church Foster Memorial amy Zion Church who
wanted to honor d m X by giving him a
minister title and his estate is rejecting it. So there
was state. The estate gave a statement and you know
what they're saying is that, you know, uh, the planned
ceremony that was announced for d MX is not sanctioned

(01:08:52):
or approved by the estate. I was trying to figure
out what the connection between him and the church might
have been. And what they're saying is that they're no
direct connection to the people that are you know, planning,
uh this ceremony, So they're rejecting it. They don't they're
not in support of it. Brief update there. I also
talked to I didn't talk to him, but ray J

Speaker 7 (01:10:00):
He said.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
He wasn't trying to say message.

Speaker 19 (01:10:05):
He gave.

Speaker 7 (01:10:06):
He gets more words. He just put the emojis in
tripping with me. This is a lung emoji. And I said,

you know he's still fighting to get better. So just
want to give you guys that brief updated.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
You already know. And he told me about his heart.
You know who.

Speaker 5 (01:10:17):
I told him he needs to come see you got

All right.

Speaker 6 (01:10:27):
I want to shout out to doctor Putma too. So
if you don't explain to people what doctor Puma.

Speaker 5 (01:10:31):
Does, Doctor Puma has something called the Soaring Heart Skin.
And I'm telling you, man, it's like a four minute procedure.
And you know, you go inside this machine and he
can look at your heart from a three D perspective
and you see everything that's in the arteries. He can
see blockages, all types of stuff. It will really put
your mind at ease. If you're a person who, uh,
you know, just always is dealing with some type of

(01:10:52):
feel like you're dealing with some type of ARTI issue.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
And not only that.

Speaker 6 (01:10:55):
When I was dealing with the stuff with my daughter,
I called doctor Puma because we were transferring from from
Jersey to the city and advocates are important, and he
called like a bunch of specialists and had the waiting
for them, like when they pulled up, they had the
specialist waiting for my daughter to get out of that
ambulance and slew to you, doctor Pum.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
I really appreciate you break. They're really really good for real.

Speaker 7 (01:11:16):
Like I talked, well, yeah, I didn't tell the audience,
but yesterday I found out that my mom's health insurance
was canceled and we didn't know that, so she can't
get her cancer skin like her checkups. So I've been
calling everybody I can and see what we can do
in the meantime. Because you shouldn't let stuff like that laps.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
If you talk to me, because some of it has been.

Speaker 7 (01:11:31):
I talked to me me yesterday and today on the podcast,
The Lady Suit on the Rosa Me Me Brown is
going to be a guest because I want to have
a conversation about what people can do in the interim,

Speaker 22 (01:14:35):
So I want to give not the other day to
a couple.

Speaker 13 (01:14:37):
Of you celebrities like you famous for you beon says
all y'all, y'all see us dying out here, and y'all
don't say y'all keep asking us to go to y'all concert,
y'all keep asking us about y'all book promote.

Speaker 9 (01:14:51):
But y'all see us.

Speaker 22 (01:14:52):
Dying and y'all don't say anything.

Speaker 13 (01:14:54):
So where is your open reference?

Speaker 17 (01:14:56):
People?

Speaker 13 (01:14:56):
Why y'all not talking? Because these people are chilling us.

Speaker 11 (01:15:00):
That's all happened is I may occurrence them to.

Speaker 13 (01:15:02):
Start ribbing, y'all.

Speaker 6 (01:15:03):
We need to start going to y'all taking y'all.

Speaker 13 (01:15:05):
We can't catch the military because they're gonna they both
wash them mouth.

Speaker 11 (01:15:08):
But we can go and steer, y'all.

Speaker 18 (01:15:10):
Because y'all don't give us, because if y'all.

Speaker 6 (01:15:16):
We are dying, dying, y'all don't care.

Speaker 11 (01:15:19):
They're taking our money.

Speaker 4 (01:15:21):
They're not coareting you, they're taking.

Speaker 21 (01:15:23):
Us, y'all not being from that, y'all agree with it.

Speaker 13 (01:15:26):
From us, we make y'all great, y'all.

Speaker 6 (01:15:28):
Don't give somebody.

Speaker 5 (01:15:30):
I agree with everything that you said, except for I
don't give. We don't give a bunch, y'all. But I
agree one hundred percent with everything else you said. Like
you know, if this society does not do something to
help the least of us, the least of us is
going to eventually eat the rich.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
That's just the reality of the situation. So I agree
with you.

Speaker 5 (01:15:46):
Like by the way, that is that is the inevitable
of all of this, Like you know what I mean?
Can you can sit around and act like you don't
see what's going on with the points just enfranchised and
if you think that the point is the franchise is
just gonna sit around and be poor, are you out
here fat?

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
You bugging?

Speaker 6 (01:16:01):
But to think that that and I don't know what
what celebrities are doing what she mentioned Oprah and Beyonce,
But to think that Oprah Beyonce, you're not helping and
not giving back when we see it time and time
and time again, like you know, I mean, we've seen.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
Oprah do thing. Well, I'm not I'm not looking at
them schools. We've seen Beyonce do things, so we've seen that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
But I would take you I'm not. I'm taking it
out of celebrity. I'm taking I'm talking about society. Society,
This capitalistic society cannot sustain. It's not sustainable. We're seeing
it right now. I'm not even thinking about the celebrity
aspect of it of what she's saying. But what she's
saying is absolutely right. This capitalist of society where the
rich keep getting richer and the poor keep don't get
a goddamn thing. Eventually, it's going to collapse. Like Tupac

(01:16:39):
told us this. There's a fantastic interview that Tupac did
for MTV years ago, and he said, eventually this is
what is going to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
You have to be logical.

Speaker 21 (01:16:49):
You know if I know in this hotel room they
have food every day and I'm knocked on the door
every day to eat, and they tell and they open
the door, let me see the party.

Speaker 15 (01:17:00):
Let me see.

Speaker 21 (01:17:00):
Like they're throwing salami all over the opportunity. I mean,
just like throwing food around. But they're telling me there's
no food in here.

Speaker 15 (01:17:06):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 21 (01:17:07):
Every day I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in.
You know what I'm saying, We are hungry, Please let
us in.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
We are hungry. Please let us say.

Speaker 21 (01:17:16):
After about a week that song is gonna change that
we hungry, we need some food. After two three weeks,
it's like, you know, get me on the road and
wrecking out of door. And after a year and just
like you know what I'm saying, I'm picking the lock,
coming through the door, blasting. You know what I'm saying,
It's like, you hungry, You reach your level, you don't
want anymore. We asked ten years ago, we was asking
with the panthers. We was asking with them, you know,

(01:17:37):
a civil rights movement who was asking. You know now
that those people that were asking, they're all dead and
in jail. So now what do you think we're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
What do you think those individuals are gonna do?

Speaker 5 (01:17:48):
Okay, like that caller who called she's not wrong, but
the energy is misplaced because to me, it's not about celebrity.
Celebrities are just you know, a symbol of capitalism in
this country. But the reality is in America, there should
be nobody missing meals, there should be nobody homeless in America.
The wealth inequality is ridiculous. Fifty to sixty five percent
of all Americans live paycheck the paycheck. And when you
see nine hundred and thirty five billionaires in America and

(01:18:09):
they control eight point one trillion in wealth, nearly double
the amount of wealth held by the bottom fifty percent
of Americans over one hundred and seventy million people, that's
gonna push you off.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 6 (01:18:19):
I just I feel like her energies towards the risus
case people right, because you can't. I mean, she mentioned
what Oprah, she mentioned Beyonce, and both of those individuals
we know of they do a lot for the community,
whether it's Oprah building schools and some of the stuff
that Beyonce alway talks about that she does, or or
her Foundations. But yeah, she's absolutely right, like she heard,
there's no way in hell that the government should be

(01:18:39):
doing a lot of the things that they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
And people can't eat.

Speaker 6 (01:18:41):
People can't pay their bills, they can't pay their light bill,
they can't pay for health covers, they can't pay for schooling,
they can't pay for none of the little things.

Speaker 5 (01:18:50):
And guess what they could if they wanted to. America
can reduce poverty and wealth inequality. You can raise the
work wages in high cost regions. You can make necessities
like housing and healthcare affordable. America can do those things,
but they choose not to. So, you know, when you
think about slogans like eat the rich that came from
the French Revolution, that slogan came from the fact that
when people are desperate from exploitation by the wealthy, they

(01:19:11):
will rise up to overthrow us and these resources from
the rich. That woman's anger is not wrong. I just
I just think it's misplaced.

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Well let's let's well thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed,
we do that every Friday.

Speaker 5 (01:19:23):
You can call up hundred and five five one oh
five one and give people the credit they deserve for
being stupid.

Speaker 6 (01:19:28):
Let's discuss. If you heard what this lady said, let
me get her name. Kim Kim was her name. If
you heard what Kim said, Let's open up the phone lines.

Speaker 4 (01:19:34):
Let's discuss.

Speaker 5 (01:19:34):
And Kim, you hung up through fast because well you
had me ready to push something in your collection plate.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
Yeah, you hung up way through fast. Eight hundred five
eight five, one oh five one. Let's discuss.

Speaker 6 (01:19:43):
All right, and a lot of people on Twitch are
talking about the government has all this money to pay
for all these foreign wars and send all these foreign countries'
money and help all these foreign lands out. When it
comes to home, people can't eat, people can't survive, they
can't pay for milk, they can't pay for their child.
Let's discuss. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one.
It's the breakfast club, come morning. Name Kim Kim.

Speaker 5 (01:20:03):
As I said earlier, Man Kim is not wrong, you know,
I just feel like the energy is misplaced. Like that
energy should be towards the American government, Okay, not celebrity.
Celebrities is just the symbol of capitalism in this country. Okay, Like, yeah,
you should be focused on America because America could fix
a lot of those problems. If they wanted to, they
could reduce you know, poverty and wealth inequality.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
And as I.

Speaker 5 (01:20:23):
Said earlier, you raise the work wages and high cost regions,
you make necessities like housing and healthcare affordable. America can
do those things, but they choose not to. And I
do understand what she's saying.

Speaker 6 (01:20:32):
I always feel like when a celebrity or artist makes
money in the city, they should give back to that
city somehow, some way. And that was the whole thing
with Traded Truth and Trick Trick was doing years ago
in saying artists came into town and we do with
every car show, and I think that's the thing that
you should do. But the celebrities she named, we know,
we see Oprah Winfrey building schools and helping.

Speaker 4 (01:20:51):
You don't even think it's fair.

Speaker 10 (01:20:53):
Yeah, I'm saying, it's a lot more. It's a lot
more celebrities and influences doing you know what I'm saying.
It's just a lot more people struggling, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:21:00):
So it's not fair to, you know, talk about the
celebrities in this situation, because what needs to happen to
reduce poverty and inequality is a lot of policies from
the government, right, Celebrities don't have any control over that.
And then when you even talk about wealth, nine hundred
and thirty five billionaires in America that control eight point

(01:21:22):
one trillion dollars in wealth, how.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
Many old people are actual celebrities? Y'all?

Speaker 15 (01:21:27):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:21:27):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 7 (01:21:28):
Right?

Speaker 21 (01:21:28):
Like?

Speaker 4 (01:21:28):
How many old people actual celebrity?

Speaker 5 (01:21:29):
For by the way, there's twelve billionaires and the Trump administration.

Speaker 4 (01:21:33):
Yeah, right, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (01:21:35):
But not only that is when you hear like crisis
and things that go wrong, like you look at when
you know the what was it the when all the airlines.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Went bad, right, we bailed them out.

Speaker 6 (01:21:45):
When the car manufacturers went down and went bad, we
bailed them out.

Speaker 5 (01:21:49):
But now when people are down bad, we don't bail
them out. We don't bail the normal.

Speaker 6 (01:21:52):
People that helped those airlines and that helped those car manufacturers,
and that helped this you know, this community grow.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
We don't bail those people out. Why do you think
people get upset? Well, for two things.

Speaker 5 (01:22:02):
Number one, why do you think messaging like America First
works because people see, you know, hundreds of millions of
dollars going to all of these other countries. Meanwhile, people
right here in our own backyard is starving. Stuff like
that will piss people like Kim off. And once again,
America can reduce poverty and wealth inequality a lot if
they wanted to, They could implement a bunch of policies

(01:22:23):
that impact wages, housing, health costs, education, but.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
They choose not to. So I'm not mad at people
like Kim. I understand the frustration.

Speaker 6 (01:22:31):
We got Jay online, Jay, good morning morning.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
What's your thoughts.

Speaker 13 (01:22:36):
I think that her anger is her anger is right,
But I think a lot of people support these celebrities
like they should be supported, supporting these povos on these elections. Well,
instead of putting all your trusts and money into people
that have to live your life and so you need
to be putting that money and that concentration into people

(01:22:56):
that could change certain things within our community. You know,
I just then, we don't trust politicians like that, but
we have to give them a chance. There's really people
there that can help us, but we're not said we
don't want to vote.

Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
You know what's so interesting though, once again, you're not
wrong in this situation, but you're talking about the money
you give the celebrities.

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
What about the money we give to our government through taxes?

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
Right who?

Speaker 5 (01:23:18):
We spend so much money in taxes that they should
be implementing these policies that can you know, help.

Speaker 13 (01:23:24):
But we've got a vote for those. We got to
put certain people in place. We don't even look at
common less. We need to come out and vote.

Speaker 5 (01:23:30):
We don't go to vote. I don't agree with that
because even regardless of who's in office, we spend money
in taxes. So the same way Kim is yelling and
screaming at us about celebrity, we should be at our
local elected officials offices yelling and screaming about them to
implement policies that can increase that can help our cost

(01:23:51):
of living in this country.

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
Thank you jay Q.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
What's up? Q?

Speaker 15 (01:23:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:23:56):
I agree with everything that lady with fear. I feel
like more celebrities to come back to their hometown, not
pans out money, but at least sit down with your
black men and women that owe like small businesses and
see what they plan is and offer them for us.
A lot of your people that make mistakes in the pants,
that have small businesses and they try to run a

(01:24:19):
small business that want us navigate to a bad economy.
But they just need that little push that push them
extra for us, they can't get a business.

Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
Blow Listen, my brother, I agree. I agree with you
too much as given much is required. But man, y'all
cannot put more pressure on these celebrities than you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
Do the government. The government is the one that is
screwing us every single day.

Speaker 10 (01:24:42):
And then another thing like you know what celebrities that
you know went back to chem saying, like we they
want us to buy their tickets and stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:24:49):
That's the choice.

Speaker 10 (01:24:50):
Though we don't got to buy what the celebrities are selling.
But we gotta pay Texas like we have to.

Speaker 7 (01:24:55):
That's forced.

Speaker 10 (01:24:56):
So, like you said, Charlomagne, go scream and shout out,
you know to these problem.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
Oprah can't raise the work wages in these high cost regions,
Beyonce can't make necessities like housing in healthcare affordable.

Speaker 4 (01:25:08):
American government has to do these things.

Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
Your elected officials have to do these things, like that's
who we need to be.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Putting pressure on. Democrat are Republicans. Celebrities are not your
elected officials. Now, MEMI is here. Of course, you don't
meet me from Front Page News. What's your thoughts?

Speaker 8 (01:25:21):
Me me, I mean, I think everyone's right. You can't
put more in celebrities. We see, we have money for wars,
we see you know, Trump is sending money to what
is it? Was it Argentina?

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
Oh yeah, they gave Valentina a big bag.

Speaker 8 (01:25:36):
It was like something like eight eighty billion or million
something like that. But right here at home, we have
people who are losing their health.

Speaker 10 (01:25:43):
Care right homeless, then not able to even go to
the doctor if they're sick.

Speaker 8 (01:25:48):
Exactly. So she's she's right. I mean, the angers is
misplaced with celebrities, but she's absolutely right. Here at home,
we have a crisis right here.

Speaker 5 (01:25:56):
Argentina got twenty billion, twenty billion dollars. So so once again,
I agree, too much is given, much is required. Like
if you are a person with means, I absolutely feel
like you should take care of your you know, community
the best way, you know how. But you cannot put more,
you know, on celebrities. Then you do the actual government,
because we need policies to decrease this wealth, inequality, in

(01:26:18):
this poverty in this country.

Speaker 6 (01:26:19):
Man, Well, let's go to We got Manti on the line. Monty,
good morning, Manti.

Speaker 15 (01:26:23):
Hey, what's up, man?

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
What's your thoughts? Brothers up?

Speaker 15 (01:26:25):
Money? Hey, what's going on with you?

Speaker 11 (01:26:26):
Man?

Speaker 15 (01:26:27):
Yeah? Oh girl, you gotta got a real valid point
because we talk about this barbershop all the time. How
to especially these rappers, they you dont come bleed the
community out, and they talk about you on the song
talking about both day bodies. So you know, I get.
I get what she's saying.

Speaker 5 (01:26:44):
You don't think her energy is misplaced though, I mean,
come on, my brother, like.

Speaker 15 (01:26:48):
She was, she was hyper as hell.

Speaker 4 (01:26:50):
Yeah, I up.

Speaker 5 (01:26:52):
No, But because I agree with her for them, I
agree with her for the most part, and I understand
the anger. All I'm simply saying is, man, when you
talk about reduce some poverty and wealth inequality in this country,
that is something that the American government has to do.
We're talking about we need, you know, work wages raised,
we need necessities like housing and healthcare to be affordable.
Like America can do those things, but they choose not to.

Speaker 15 (01:27:13):
You can, But it's also a mind state. You can
give all these people whatever they gonna really do with
his posts.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
To be honest with you, I don't care. Yeah, I'm
not even I really don't care.

Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
But as long as this country provided it, I could
care much.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
What Manti's saying to it. Some of the stuff has
to be taught as well, right, we have to teach.

Speaker 6 (01:27:29):
We have to make sure that when a celebrity or
where somebody gets out of where they're from, they go
back and teach the community how to do little things that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
We didn't know that we lost and we need to
go back and teach.

Speaker 5 (01:27:37):
You now you're talking about another aspect of it, when
you're talking about making wealth building accessible. So like you said,
we should teach people about ownership. But then also then
you got to have fair taxes. People can't save what
they don't have, they can't.

Speaker 7 (01:27:49):
Say what they don't have.

Speaker 8 (01:27:50):
And the federal minimum wage is seven dollars and twenty
five cents. It has not been raised in sand years people,
how many years? Sixteen years?

Speaker 6 (01:27:59):
But also to think about it like this, and I
agree with you the federal the wages have to come up.
But you look at a mom and pop store and
they're paying somebody wages, right and they and they have
to pay higher wages.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
They can't afford that store really now, So that means
their prices have to go up.

Speaker 6 (01:28:13):
That means people are gonna stop shopping at their store
because it's for me, now, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
So it's you got to figure a way to help
people out some house. That's what I talk about with
fair taxes.

Speaker 5 (01:28:22):
But once again, American government, local and federal, they could
implement a bunch of policies that impact wages and housing
and health, health costs and education if they wanted to.

Speaker 10 (01:28:33):
Now with like, I agree that her anger is in
this place. But what some celebrities can do is like
team up with local government or something like that and
create like I guess, you know, programs or something that
that you can fund your city or whatever through you know,
your money or you know what I'm just saying, like
like like local government, like because everything ain't gonna get

(01:28:55):
to the president, you know, like say, physics we go.
We I live, Well, I don't live in bore, but
I'm from Baltimore. Like if Mario or myself or whatever
like meet with the mayor and the governor of Maryland
and I guess figure out to figure out how to
help people like all together.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
When people do it, nobody ever talks about it or
they just forget it.

Speaker 6 (01:29:18):
So fast, like we've seen Killer Mike and t I
doing in Atlanta, right, We've seen Jay do it with
Barack Obama. We seen Jay do it in Philly with
that thing that he created to get brothers out of
jail early reform things.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
So we've seen artists do it. But it feels like.

Speaker 5 (01:29:31):
I'm not putting more pressure on celebrities do it like slutors.
Aram Ma Donnie's Auramadnnie just got a new childcare program
without any new taxes Like this, what is it? They
are non free childcare for two year olds in New
York City with no new taxes. That's what elected officials
can do to, you know, relieve people's financial issues. Man,

(01:29:52):
I'm not putting more pressure on celebrities than I do
our elected officials when we know the wealth and equality
in this country.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
Eous I don't like how New York does people too, Like, yes.

Speaker 6 (01:30:03):
I appreciate it's ridiculous, but like what New York does,
It's like regular people are coming to the city to
work and you're charging them more to come to the
city where they can't afford to come to the city,
and people are complaining that they can't afford it, and
they're talking about in years is going to go even higher.
Like Charlome said, yeah, I want to see what there
is where this money is going. Where is it helping,
or these schools looking better or the roads looking better.

Speaker 2 (01:30:22):
New York looks trashy, looks disgusting. You just came from
Africa to Africa. Look if you don't leave me.

Speaker 4 (01:30:30):
Don't like the way that you look. Don't like when
you do stuff Like yes, Cape Town.

Speaker 6 (01:30:35):
Does a rich area, but it doesn't anywhere if I
go to if I go to a lot of these
different places, especially islands, it looks way clear that other
areas to say, they don't have the amount of money
that the US had, but these other areas look amazing.

Speaker 5 (01:30:50):
Listen man, once again, America could raise incomes for the
bottom half of America. Like you could have higher minimum
wages and high cost regions. You could make housing affordable,
you know, make health care affordable if you wanted to.

Speaker 8 (01:31:03):
But there was thirty states I think just raised their
minimum wage. So shout out to those states. Yeah, but
the federal the overall, I.

Speaker 10 (01:31:10):
Remember you said, it hasn't been Yeah, it hasn't been
increased in Yeah, because I remember when I was going
to McDonald's. They were talking about increasing They will always
say they're going to increase it, but then it never
never went up.

Speaker 7 (01:31:22):
Damn, that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:31:23):
Well more, I'll say this man. You know that, Kim,
you weren't wrong. I just feel like your energy was misplaced.
You're talking about Beyonce and Oprah. I mean, black people
tend to shoot and target other black people. It's not
celebrities who created the wealth, inequality and poverty in America, y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:31:39):
It's not.

Speaker 5 (01:31:40):
It's the American government who could fix a lot of
these issues if they wanted to. They could implement a
bunch of policies that impact wages, housing, health care, cost
education if they wanted to.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (01:31:52):
All Right, Well, when we come back, we got past
the AUCS with not less, you be joining us. It
don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club, good ones.

Speaker 19 (01:32:11):
Yeah, DJ comes sending.

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):

fight for your life with people?

Speaker 4 (01:32:24):
You guy?

Speaker 25 (01:32:25):
First of all, when when the fallow up dropped I'm
not gonna have to fight for my life. All the
chatter will be silent, and I can't wait for that
project to drop, so you can leave me.

Speaker 24 (01:32:33):
Alone, I hope.

Speaker 5 (01:32:34):
So I'm I'm anticipating. I want to hear what Ja
Cole got to talk about, do you really? Yeah, because
I don't know what the angle is going to be,
because you know he's he's clearly not gunning for the
number one spot, no more right, because he had an
opportunity to prove that in the battle with Kendrick and Drake,
but he bowed out.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
So I just want to want to know what what is?
You know what what.

Speaker 24 (01:32:52):
Engy he's on that's that don't make him not number one?

Speaker 4 (01:32:54):
Yes it does, is.

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
The definitive number one of a generation. Don't need to
That's why you want to fatigue. You're didn't fight you
know what?

Speaker 25 (01:33:02):
Not today? Not today. It's a lot of good music
dropping this year. I'm really excited about. Obviously, we've been
seeing Jill Scott do a press run for her album
that's dropping on the thirteenth of February.

Speaker 24 (01:33:13):
So I'm gonna start with her second single for.

Speaker 12 (01:33:17):

Speaker 24 (01:33:18):
Yeah, that's gonna be great. Man, shout out to Jill.

Speaker 25 (01:33:20):
This is a pressure Jill Scott Man.

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):

Speaker 5 (01:33:31):
I'm just saying Jill to about doing my wife's two
favorite art this day, two of my favorite artist too.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
I knock all this for Jill. You hit me that
didn't feel good. That's not good good.

Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
And you think about Jill and Erica. They don't drop
us about time. When the last time Jill dropped.

Speaker 24 (01:33:45):
Album It's been over a decade.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:33:48):
They they just take their time and it just feels right.
Man over there, picked up what else you got?

Speaker 25 (01:33:54):
Oh my god, y'all you know what it is? Freaky Friday.
I came in here, but y'all was on a serious tip.
I said, wow, I'm just not used to this dynamic.

Speaker 7 (01:34:01):
Because we had a caller named cam neet Or.

Speaker 25 (01:34:02):
It's a new one, so okay, I see well. I
liked it though informative. But anyway, next I'm gonna get
into a new record from Reason. He's coming in Hot
twenty twenty six. This record is called Don't Play.

Speaker 24 (01:34:14):
With My Heart.

Speaker 7 (01:34:14):
Dang Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 5 (01:34:15):
I like that you can't rap the dots don't have
a connect. For Reason, I don't know why, but he
can rap like he's dope, but the dots don't connect
for him for some reason, but.

Speaker 7 (01:34:26):
To get him out dare.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
Yeah, I mean he was with TD.

Speaker 4 (01:34:30):
Just don't know reason.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
It's just dope, but he just it's not.

Speaker 25 (01:34:33):
Like every artist on TD the dots connect for it. Plus,
I don't think. I don't think it's over.

Speaker 5 (01:34:38):
Like he can. I don't think it's over. I think
it's being a connect at some point. I don't mean
that literally, I'm just talking about in general.

Speaker 2 (01:34:44):
Yeah, figured has't connected yet.

Speaker 25 (01:34:47):
Make it sound like it's a beer guy, like he's
done connected.

Speaker 24 (01:34:51):
He doesn't connect yet.

Speaker 25 (01:34:52):
Like, okay, fine, anyway, looking forward to whatever he drops,
hopefully you get a tape from him.

Speaker 5 (01:34:58):
But if he's talking about game keepers, ain't no gates, bro,
you know what I'm saying. And if people ain't standing
at your gates, and it ain't because no, there's no gates.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):

Well, if you're on a label, there is a gate keeper.

Speaker 24 (01:36:48):
Go push your car for Christmas?

Speaker 4 (01:36:49):
What kind car?

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
Money?

Speaker 4 (01:36:51):
What kind?

Speaker 2 (01:36:51):
What kind?

Speaker 4 (01:36:52):
What kind of.

Speaker 7 (01:36:56):
That's right?

Speaker 4 (01:36:57):
But no you for now A day massage and Cape
Town got you right?

Speaker 25 (01:37:03):
I think it did do something. I'm not gonna lie,
and I will say I do think that. You know,
Jake Cole's beer is fully connected and I can't wait
for the drop one last time because this man was
arguing me down in Africa about him, and I'm just.

Speaker 5 (01:37:16):
Like, why why y'all think I don't like Jacob for
some reason that is.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Not true, but you give off.

Speaker 7 (01:37:21):
I just don't think he's number one, not number one.

Speaker 5 (01:37:23):
What I just said was there was a Big three,
and a couple of years ago we all saw the
Big three circle each other and decide to.

Speaker 4 (01:37:30):
Go to war.

Speaker 5 (01:37:31):
One of them tapped out, so therefore it was left
with two and Kendrick won that decisively.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
So Kendrick is number one.

Speaker 7 (01:37:38):
Okay I say this, So I with the fall off,
I just want to know what Ja Cole is going
to be talking about, because it's clearly not to.

Speaker 5 (01:37:45):
Be number one anymore, And everything leading up to the
fall off was him saying, I'm that guy.

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
I'm that guy. I'm that guy.

Speaker 24 (01:37:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 25 (01:37:51):
I have friends over in Dreamville they said the project
is crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
I think anything else.

Speaker 25 (01:38:03):
I also think that every all of them in the
big three are great, Okay, So I don't think I
think it just comes down to greater.

Speaker 24 (01:38:11):
I think it just comes down there, let it go,
let it come.

Speaker 5 (01:38:15):
Every night to admit, there was a battle and all
three of them engaged and one backed out. So he's
not in the competition no more, one one and one one.

Speaker 15 (01:38:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:38:27):
Why does it even an argument.

Speaker 7 (01:38:28):
He's just in his own lane, but.
