Speaker 3 (00:18):
Hey,
how y'all feel out there?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I feel blessed, black, and highly favored. Happy to be here.
Another day to serve our beautiful listeners.

Speaker 6 (00:27):
Good morning.

Speaker 5 (00:28):
Good morning. What's going on, Jess?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
How you feeling?

Speaker 7 (00:30):
What's going on? I kicked off the first shows of
my four-day run in Baltimore last night, as you can hear.
I sound like somebody's father. I had a lot of...
He showed me so much love. I didn't even mean
to curse. We had chefs pulling up with food. Shout
out to Food Vibes. And shout out to Chef Lau.
He came and bought me some food, man. Everybody just

(00:53):
showed up, showed out. I love being home. I'm not
going to hold you. I sound crazy this morning. I
didn't even drink last night. I just sound crazy. But
the meet and greets, everybody bought a book.

Speaker 6 (01:05):
Everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
People bought books.

Speaker 7 (01:07):
They just wanted them signed and bought additional books, too. Well,
go ahead. And some people who came today, they're like, yo,
we coming back tomorrow. Yo, we coming back Saturday.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Like.

Speaker 7 (01:19):
I'm so funny. I know that's just real vain. I'm
so funny.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
You are funny.

Speaker 6 (01:25):
You're hilarious. I am very, very funny. Today is also
the 25th anniversary of 9-11, by the way. Don't forget that.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
So we want to salute.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
To everybody that has lost a family member, that has
lost a friend, that has lost somebody. This is 25
years since those two planes crashed into the World Trade
and one into the Pentagon. There's having so many services,
so many. So, I mean, today in the city alone,

(01:55):
if you have to get if you have to drive
to Manhattan or you have to drive to New York City,
they're saying anything on the Canal Street right now after
6 a.m. will be shut down. They're having a ceremony
where the World Trade Center was. All the presidents except
Donald Trump, he's going to be at the Pentagon, will
be there that are alive. So today is a day
of remembrance.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
The crazy thing is I wasn't in New York when
9-11 happened, but everybody has a 9-11 story. You know
what I mean? Because, you know, even a lot of
our security here, they were police officers 25 years ago.
So they were some of the first responders who had
to get down there.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
So just, you know, today is like traumatic for them.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Very traumatic.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
And people remember where they were, where they were in class.
I remember Madison was about to be born. Of course,
she was born in November and We just had finished
painting her crib area and her room and they were
delivering the crib and they couldn't deliver the crib because
of what was going on. I remember my dad called

(02:55):
me and my dad never sounds nervous, but he sounded
nervous that day. He was like, yeah, we got to
go to the city and pick up your mother. She
can't get out the city. There's no trains. There's no buses.
They closed the bridges. We have to go get her.
And by the time I got to the house, thank
God my mom had walked over the bridge. And we
just went to, you know, to Queens to get her.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, because most people, you know, didn't even know what
happened initially. Like when you saw the first plane hit,
you thought that it was an accident.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
Yes.

Speaker 8 (03:21):
Right?

Speaker 6 (03:21):
You didn't know what was going on. That's right. But
then when you saw the second plane hit, you're like,
oh my God, we had to attack.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
And then on the other side, it was also a
day Jay-Z dropped his album Blueprint. Fab, Fab dropped his
album and his debut album. And that was the one
of the first records I ever produced was on that record.
So we were excited. We were going to go to
the release party and it just it just hit us
all crazy. So if you lost somebody at 9-11 or,

(03:47):
you know, you're still friends, family. Sends out condolences. And
we're going to open up the phone lines. Get it
off your chest if you want to talk about it.
If you want to talk about where you were, how
you felt during that time, we can do that as well. 800-585-1051.
We got our front page news next with Mimi. Can
we start off with Song Cry Hole?

Speaker 3 (04:05):
You got that in there?

Speaker 6 (04:07):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Alright, it's The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 9 (04:09):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Get your ass up.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Today on the show, Kai Cash will be joining us.
Kai Cash is an MC from Brooklyn that is signed
to Generation Now. Of course, that's DJ Drama, Don Cannon,
and Lucky. I said Lucky.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
Lazy. Lake. Lake.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
I said Lucky.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Lakey's album. Lake's album.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Who is Lakey?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
His name is Lake. Lake's album.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
And then also Beanie Man will be joining us. The
King of Dancehall, he'll be joining us. But let's get
in some front page news. Sort of for some quick sports. Yesterday,
the 49ers beat the Rams 27-7. Belt the ass. Yeah,
they killed them. And they played out in Australia. So
congratulations to the 49ers.

Speaker 6 (04:46):
What's up, Mimi?

Speaker 8 (04:48):
Good morning, Envy, Jess, Charlamagne. How y'all doing this morning?
Good morning. So we start this morning in New York City,
where in just a few hours.

Speaker 10 (04:58):
Families will gather at Ground Zero to mark 25 years
since the September 11th attacks. Now, the ceremony begins around
830 this morning at.

Speaker 8 (05:06):
The 911 Memorial.

Speaker 10 (05:09):
At 846, there will be a moment of silence marking
the exact time the first plane hit the North Tower,
and then family members will begin the annual reading of
the names. Nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11th. Now,
throughout the morning, there will be moments of silence marking
when each plane hit, when the Twin Towers fell, and

(05:31):
when the Flight 93.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
Crashed in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 10 (05:36):
And as New York marks 25 years since the attack,
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch is reflecting on what that day
still means for the department and the city.

Speaker 8 (05:47):
Let's listen.

Speaker 11 (05:48):
The scale of the loss and the devastation that day
was unfathomable, and so too was the heroism that we
witnessed in response. Preserving that history also means preserving its
moral clarity. The men who attacked this city were terrorists.
The men and women who ran into the towers to

(06:09):
save innocent lives were heroes. 25 years cannot be allowed
to blur that distinction and shame on those who do.

Speaker 10 (06:22):
And also expected, as you mentioned earlier, Envy, former presidents
Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. Now,
President Trump, he will attend ceremony at the Pentagon where
184 victims will be honored. And this year for the
25th anniversary, there will also be a moment recognizing the

(06:43):
thousands of people who died in the years since with
9-11 related illnesses. And that comes as new questions, though,
are being raised about what people were told on the
ground about Ground Zero, about the air on Ground Zero.
Earlier this week, New York Mayor Zoran Mondani released more

(07:04):
than 170,000 pages of documents about the city's response after 9-11,
including what officials knew about the toxic air on Ground
Zero or around Ground Zero. A record show city officials
knew there were serious health concerns while people living and
working in the area.

Speaker 8 (07:21):
They were told the area was safe.

Speaker 10 (07:24):
Now, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, he's responding
to those newly released records. But first, let's remind ourselves
of what Mayor Mondani said during that press conference during
the release.

Speaker 12 (07:36):
People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and
told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air.
And then when they began to contend with the symptoms
of the illnesses that followed, the government that had not
hesitated to send them into harm's way was nowhere.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
To be found.

Speaker 10 (07:56):
Now, Giuliani, he is pushing back through a spokesperson. He
said the terrorists who carried out the attacks are responsible
for the suffering and for the illnesses.

Speaker 8 (08:04):
And he also points to the EPA, which told the
public that the air was safe.

Speaker 10 (08:08):
And he's also accusing Mondani of trying to score political
points over 9-1-1. And really quickly, the firefighters who spent
months going into Ground Zero, their union, they're calling withholding
these records appalling. Remember, of course, we know that the
firefighters were the ones who went back and forth into
that toxic environment, believing what they were told. And here's

(08:30):
what the president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association had to say.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
It is appalling that they did this to us, despite
our willingness to knowingly go into that environment repeatedly for
long-term exposures, long after the acute exposure of that day,
to give dignity to the people that were lost, to
give the greatest possible effort towards a recovery, and then
hopes to put New York back on its firm footing

(08:55):
that it was on the days before 9-11.

Speaker 10 (08:59):
And 453 FDNY members, they have now died from World
Trade Center-related illnesses. That's more than the 343 firefighters who
were killed on 9-11 itself. And more than 12,000 FDNY
members have been diagnosed with at least one World Trade
Center-related illness.

Speaker 8 (09:21):
So, yeah, very sad.

Speaker 10 (09:24):
But they will be out today in remembrance, attending ceremonies
as well.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Alright well thank you Mimi we'll see you next hour
absolutely everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if
you need to vent you just need to get some
things off your chest or you want to tell us
where you were 9-11 25 years ago I know in
the schools I think they said there's only a third
of the people from 9-11 are still alive I believe

(09:50):
or maybe it was the other way I think something
like that only a third of the people were still
alive and there's a new generation that weren't involved or
weren't there or didn't see it so The schools are
making it their duty to actually teach the kids what
happened and why we have to keep remembering what happened
and paying respect to the people that we lost and
the police officers and the firefighters and even the animals.

(10:11):
So get it off your chest. Call us up right now.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear
from you on The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Hello, who's this?

Speaker 13 (10:30):
Hello, good morning. This is Suzy.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Good morning, Suzy.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Where are you calling from?

Speaker 13 (10:35):
I'm calling from Philly, but I'm originally from Brooklyn.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Okay, Suzy. Get it off your chest.

Speaker 14 (10:40):
Today is my birthday.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
Happy birthday, Suzy.

Speaker 15 (10:44):
Thank you.

Speaker 16 (10:44):
Thank you.

Speaker 13 (10:45):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 15 (10:48):
You know what?

Speaker 13 (10:49):
This was my 26th birthday.

Speaker 17 (10:50):
I'm turning 51 today.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Oh, congratulations, man.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
Thank you.

Speaker 15 (10:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 14 (10:56):
So 9-11 was.

Speaker 13 (10:56):
Actually my 26th birthday. And I was in the military.
I was stationed in Newport News.

Speaker 17 (11:04):
I was in the Army, and I was there at
Fort Eustis.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (11:09):
And I was on the phone. People were calling me,
happy birthday. And I got a call. from my aunt,
and she was like, turn on channel four. And I
was like, what are you talking about? She was like,
they just bombed the World Trade Center. Turn channel four on.
And I'm like, channel four? What are you talking about?

Speaker 15 (11:25):
Because I'm in Newport News.

Speaker 13 (11:26):
I'm in Virginia. And she was like, just turn the
TV on.

Speaker 15 (11:29):
And I didn't realize that I'm turning the TV on
and everything was doing the same thing, but I was
just so panicked that I didn't realize that every station.

Speaker 13 (11:38):
Was playing the same scene.

Speaker 15 (11:41):
And I was literally on the phone watching on the
phone when the second plane hit.

Speaker 17 (11:48):
And, you know, it just, that was it. That was it.

Speaker 15 (11:52):
And so every year thereafter, people were like, it's only
a birthday. You know, I go to the DMV, I
go wherever.

Speaker 18 (11:58):
And I say 9-11.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
Oh, man.

Speaker 19 (12:00):
You know, and ever since that day, celebrating has always
been kind of like, how do I celebrate when the
rest of the world is thinking about this?

Speaker 15 (12:11):
And so, you know, this year is extra sensitive for
me because my mother passed away in May, this May,
on the 7th of May. So this is my first
birthday waking up without my mom calling me and wishing
me a happy birthday.

Speaker 14 (12:26):
So it's a real, real sign to Jason.

Speaker 6 (12:27):
I'm sorry to hear that. But, you know, man, you
don't forget to have celebrations of life.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
Celebrate your birthday.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Absolutely.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
You can focus on joy, you know.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Not just celebrating your life, but celebrating, you know, the
lives of the people that.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
We lost, you know.

Speaker 17 (12:42):
Absolutely.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
Remember the joy that they bought you.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
When it comes to 9-11, you think of the people
who actually were the first responders, who were the heroes.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
Celebrate their lives. Celebrate your mother's life. Absolutely. 100%.

Speaker 13 (12:56):
Thank you so much, you guys, for taking my call.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
You know, it's going to be a little bit of
emotions all over the place. That song, they said, was
a collective. The collective was called Artists Against AIDS Worldwide.
And they said what happened was they said because the
recording sessions, the recording sessions wrapped up just days before
the September 11th attack.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
So the artists decided to pivot.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
How you just pivot?

Speaker 1 (16:21):
It said the Megamix was originally organized by Bono and
Jermaine Dupri to benefit AIDS research in Africa, but because
the recording sessions wrapped up just days before the 9-11 attacks,
the artist decided to pivot.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
And it came out in October of 2001. I'll find it,
and I'll.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Definitely get it on.

Speaker 7 (16:38):
I'll definitely get it on.

that exclusive?

Speaker 16 (17:46):
Lauren, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everything.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
She be having the latest on things.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
You ask the questions that need to be answered.

Speaker 2 (17:53):

Speaker 16 (17:54):
If little brown girls look at you and go, I
want to.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
Be like you. LL Cool B.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Talk to.

Speaker 6 (17:59):
LL Cool B, just put a lip on low.

Speaker 16 (18:01):
Yes, good morning, y'all. Getting here this morning was way different.
I don't even think I thought ahead of time about
how 9-11 would affect just the driving. On my way in,
there was so many newscasters set up along all the
streets of New York. Everybody's preparing for their broadcast in
remembrance of 9-11. uh the day it's gonna be like
that all day yeah 25 years 25 year anniversary yeah

(18:22):
um even when.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Leaving today it's gonna be it's gonna be just it's
just the same yeah.

Speaker 16 (18:25):
So if you're here in new york that i heard
y'all talking about it but definitely like i was in
and i was like oh yeah this is a thing
it's really really happening um okay so let's talk a
bit about 9-11 and remembrance um so today uh as
we know marks 25 years since uh the attack on
the world trade centers um and Pete Davidson, he spoke
to the New York Post. He gave them a few quotes.
For those of you guys who do not know Pete

(18:46):
Davidson's father, he lost his father in 9-11. Yeah, he
talks a lot about it often. But he was talking
to the New York Post about how this year is different.
And it's not an audio interview or video, so you
won't hear him. I have some quotes. But he says
this year is different because we know Pete Davidson recently
welcomed his daughter, Scotty, who's named after his father. He says,

(19:07):
you know... This year is way harder than it's been.
It's a really long time because I, it's a really
hard time because I have Scotty and now I'm at
the age my dad was when he died. So I'm
just kind of like, holy.

Speaker 7 (19:18):
S word.

Speaker 16 (19:19):
He says that, you know, it's a, he talks about
how people meme-ify 9-11 and post different things. But in
real life, if you're, if you are, if you are
a family member of someone who passed away in 9-11,
how it hits a little different. He said, it's this
weird thing that happens in our country where tragedy over
time becomes a holiday. And then sometimes I know the
youth on the internet use 9-11 memes as jokes. Someone

(19:40):
will be like, this song is fire. And then they'll
post the towers and, and, We're the ones that have
to see that all of the time. And he talks
a bit about understanding why people, of course, remember the
day and all the things, but how it is difficult.
And he would like to see it become a day
that can uplift and support people. So he's joined a
bunch of different organizations this year, as he does. Years prior,

(20:02):
one of them that he's working with, they're actually setting
out to have people do good deeds. Let's take a
listen to Pete Davidson talk about good deeds at the
9-11 program.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
My name is Pete Davidson.

Speaker 22 (20:14):
Some of you may or may not know my dad,
Scott Davidson, passed away on 9-11. He was a firefighter
for Ladder 118, Engine 205 in Brooklyn Heights. My dad
loved being a fireman and he loved saving people as
he did on that day. 9-11 is usually a tough day,
but this organization, 9-11 Day, does something cool where you

(20:35):
do a good deed for someone and you pass it along.
You try to make the day a little bit lighter.
So on this 9-11 and all the days leading up
to this 9-11, make.

Speaker 6 (20:46):
Your pledge at 911day. org.

Speaker 22 (20:48):
Together, let's show up for each other. I think my
dad would have loved that. So let's unite for good.

Speaker 6 (20:55):
They had the charity comedy show last night at the Garden.

Speaker 16 (20:58):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
Yeah, so it was like Dave Chappelle and Pete Davidson
and Bill Burr and who else was there?

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Did he go?

Speaker 6 (21:03):
I'm sorry. Nah, I forgot.

Speaker 7 (21:05):
Damn, that's dope.

Speaker 18 (21:07):
Sadly.

Speaker 16 (21:08):
It's all right. We'll be talking about it now.

Speaker 14 (21:10):
It's okay.

Speaker 16 (21:10):
So people at least know it happened and know that
you can go out and support. But yeah, so... Shifting
gears a bit, but still kind of staying in that vein.
I've heard, Charlamagne, you talk a lot about, you know,
this also being the anniversary of Blueprint, but how Jay-Z
took time, you know, during one of his shows that
he did at Madison Square Garden to remember Yankee Stadium.

(21:31):
Yankee Stadium, I'm sorry. You wasn't there?

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Me?

Speaker 5 (21:33):
No, she wasn't there.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
Oh, you were there the night before.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 16 (21:36):
No, I'm not talking about the recent shows. I'm talking
about the older show.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Oh, no, I'm talking about the Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
It's a Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
At Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 16 (21:44):
I wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, on Yankee Stadium that Saturday when he did the blueprint.
Like the show started, I think, right when the.

Speaker 16 (21:51):
I wasn't there Saturday. You didn't give me Saturday tickets.

Speaker 7 (21:53):
Oh, well, what were you talking about?

Speaker 14 (21:56):
No.

Speaker 16 (21:56):
OK, so I was talking about. So Jay-Z did a
show at Madison Square Garden back in 2009. It was
marking the eight year anniversary because Blueprint falls on 9-11.
So I was mentioning that because Charlamagne, I've heard you
talk about that before. But Yankee Stadium, I didn't know
on Saturday he also paid that Saturday of the three
day concerts. He also paid tribute to.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
Oh, absolutely. The concert started precisely at 9-11.

Speaker 16 (22:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
And it was a speech dedicated to the victims of
the tragedy.

Speaker 16 (22:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:25):
Cool tribute.

Speaker 16 (22:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yep.

Speaker 16 (22:28):
So, yeah, just taking some time to remember, you know,
some of the things that were happening around that time today.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
All right.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
Nice.

Speaker 16 (22:36):
Pretty early.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
That's what you got?

Speaker 16 (22:37):
Yeah, that's pretty much all we have. I mean, we
had an audio, too, from a prior Jay-Z press conference,
but I think it's going to be dated. He just
talks about where he was when he found out about
the towers hitting.

Speaker 10 (22:48):
Dr.

Speaker 16 (22:49):
Towers being hit.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
Alright well that's the latest with Lauren now Fab's album
came out his debut album came out on 9-11 as
well I think there was one more hip hop album
I thought there were three hip hop albums that came
out that day but but hold up where was.

Speaker 7 (22:59):
He at you know what I mean where was Jay
Z when it happened what did he say.

Speaker 16 (23:06):
Let's take a listen to the audio of Jay Z
at Madison talking about his Madison Square Garden show.

Speaker 23 (23:11):
A friend of mine said turn the TV on and
I turned the TV on and I saw the World
Trade sitting on fire. It looked like a movie to me.
It didn't look like anything that it could be real.
The first thing I thought about was what happens from here? Like,
you know, what happens tomorrow? How is this whole thing
is going to continue?

Speaker 6 (23:32):
And I was in Los.

Speaker 7 (23:33):
Angeles with anything I can do.

Speaker 23 (23:35):
And I turned on the TV September 12th and I
saw footage of these heroic actions, people running into buildings
and saving each other.

Speaker 6 (23:45):
And I just saw the strength in New York. And
it made me proud.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (23:51):
And I saw in my researches now, I saw that
there was a Wu-Tang affiliate group.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Wu-Tang, yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
Killer Army came out as well.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Remember back then?

Speaker 6 (23:59):
Yep. Fear, Love, and War was that album.

Speaker 10 (24:00):
Yes.

Speaker 16 (24:01):

Speaker 2 (24:23):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Morning, everybody.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Sort of for sports, last night the 49ers beat the
Rams 27-7, beat them by 20.

Speaker 6 (24:37):
Belt the ass.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
That's how the Cowboys are going to do the Giants
on Sunday. Drop on the clues bombs for my Dallas Cowboys,
damn it.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Belt the ass. Definitely not. What's up, Mimi?

Speaker 8 (24:47):
Good morning, MB, Char, Jess. How y'all doing?

Speaker 7 (24:50):
Peace, Mimi Brown.

Speaker 6 (24:51):
Good.

Speaker 8 (24:52):
All right, so we're going to continue with sports.

Speaker 10 (24:54):
We're talking about the Los Angeles Clippers this morning because
last night we learned the team is now under federal
criminal investigation. So federal prosecutors in New York, they are
looking into the Clippers and their business dealings. This comes
after the NBA spent nearly a year investigating the organization
and found a pattern of misconduct. and multiple significant violations. Now,

(25:15):
at the center of the investigation were outside deals that
Clippers helped arrange to get additional money for Kawhi Leonard
without that money counting against the team's salary cap. Now,
the NBA, ultimately, they fined the Clippers $ 30 million. took
away five first-round draft picks, and suspended the owner.

Speaker 8 (25:32):
Steve Ballmer, for a year.

Speaker 10 (25:34):
But when those findings came out, Pablo Torre, he was
the podcaster who first broke this story, said this would
just be the beginning. Let's listen to him really briefly
on MSNBC, or MSN, MSNOW, talking about this.

Speaker 24 (25:51):
The scheme that has been now reported by Wachtell-Lipton, the
NBA's outside counsel, as well as our reporting, certainly, It
is vast. It is deeper than even I realized. It
is more sweeping and therefore more undeniable.

Speaker 10 (26:07):
And so now we know, as of last night, this
has moved beyond basketball. Federal prosecutors are investigating the Clippers,
and at least one subpoena has already gone out. The
federal investigation is still in its very early age. No
criminal charges have been filed.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
But this— Is there.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
You're from L.A., I mean, well, you're from Alaska, but
you're L.A., right?

Speaker 14 (26:30):
I live.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Is there any reason for the Los Angeles Clippers to exist?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Like, the L.A.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Clippers are like the possums or the raccoons of the NBA.
You ever look at a possum or raccoon and be like,
why did God even make that?

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Like, why do the L.A. Clippers even exist? They've never
won a championship, no finals appearances.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
They'll... I don't even know if they... You could call
them the Lakers... baby brother or babysitter. LA is a
Lakers town.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
People like the Clippers too. People do.

Speaker 7 (26:56):
You said who?

Speaker 5 (26:59):
I'm asking who?

Speaker 6 (27:01):
Who likes the Clippers?

Speaker 5 (27:02):
It looks like a lot of people in attendance at
the games. It's like you could say that about the
Brooklyn Nets. other than it being in Brooklyn.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
But I'm saying the clip, the clip has been around
a long time and have nothing to show for it
except for stories like this. You had the lob city
era at one point, but other than that, it's like, what, what,
what is the point of the LA Clippers?

Speaker 6 (27:21):
Yo, especially in a town that is dominated by the Lakers.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
They are often left out the conversation. I will give
you that.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
Right.

Speaker 16 (27:30):
They, they're, they're here.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
Because they're here, but are they really here?

Speaker 6 (27:35):
I don't know what I'm saying. I would say they're
like foreskin, but foreskin serves a purpose. Wow.

Speaker 10 (27:38):
Damn.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
When they start calling up.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
Don't try to dodge the polls.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
I'm not saying I have nothing to do with the players.
I'm talking about this is just the organization.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Like, the Clippers, like I said, they never won a championship,
no finals appearances.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
Like, what's the point?

Speaker 1 (27:54):
All you ever hear is stories like this about the Clippers.
It's always a major, major scandal. It's the Donald Sterling
making racist comments and stuff like this.

Speaker 6 (28:02):
What are the Clippers for?

Speaker 14 (28:05):
Damn.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Damn, you just killed the whole organization.

Speaker 7 (28:08):
I know, God.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
I want to defend them, but I just.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
can't.

Speaker 10 (28:14):
I right same envy i'm like trying to think like.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Like you said the lob city i wrote it 2013
2014 season but yeah they only had 57 wins that yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
It's not only that's that's good that's good but just
once again it is it's just it's always they seem
cursed they seem they just seem like a cursed organization
shout out to.

Speaker 10 (28:33):
The club they had a whole um hulu uh series
on what you just said.

Speaker 8 (28:39):
Donald Sterling.

Speaker 7 (28:40):
Damn, boy.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
That wasn't good.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
Donald Sterling was being racist. That wasn't good, Jess.

Speaker 8 (28:47):
Yeah, it wasn't good. They're more known for.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
That, I think.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
I don't know who he was. How you talking?

Speaker 13 (28:56):
All right, y'all.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
And moving along.

Speaker 10 (28:58):
So your smart TV may be watching and listening to
you more than you realize. So a new investigation into
LG smart TVs found the televisions, they can collect information
about your watching, what devices are around your home, and
even picking up audio from phones. your TV's microphone. And
here's the part that may surprise you. Researchers say all

(29:19):
of this can be collected even when the TV is
in standby mode, even when it's disconnected from the internet.
So if there's no internet connection, they found the TV
can save information and upload it later when it connects.
The TVs, they are used for technology. They can recognize
what you're watching. And even coming from a cable box
gaming system or even another plugged-in in TV device so

(29:41):
people are like well why are they collecting all this
information they say it's advertising Because knowing what you watch
helps company build a better picture of your interests and
sell more targeted ads.

Speaker 8 (29:52):
But a lot of.

Speaker 10 (29:52):
People are questioning why your TV would be recording you
when you have it off.

Speaker 7 (29:58):
So this has been happening forever. Like our phones, our laptops,
our TV, everything that's been happening.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
So when you say recording us, you mean like when
I'm just walking around the room butt naked, average size,
penis swinging.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
We see it. Looking stupid.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
We see it. They do.

Speaker 10 (30:14):
I don't know if they can see it, but I
think they can hear it.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
What do you mean we?

Speaker 7 (30:17):
Audio.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
They can hear it.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
We can hear it too.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
They can't i don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
That's what i think when you said that the smart
tv is tracking us i swear that's what i'm thinking
like they watching us in the house but you mean
like they're tracking our information and what we're.

Speaker 10 (30:29):
Tracking your information they're listening they're listening on your phone
tvs are also doing the same thing basically we could
see you.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
That's gonna be a thing one day though i keep
saying that over and over that one day like all
of our private conversations are just gonna be leaked because
i don't believe there's any such thing there's no such
thing as a private conversation anymore like we're being tracked
at all times we're being watched at all times we're
being listened to at all times and at some point
one of these systems is just going to leak all
our private conversations.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
Listen like you know you ever be like talking about
something in your house and then you turn on the
tv you watch youtube will you open up your phone
and the very thing that you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
All the time be an ad for it on the
phone all the.

Speaker 7 (31:07):
Time it'll just magically pop up yo yeah they've been
on it they've been on it like.

Speaker 10 (31:11):
That that happens all the time on my phone And lastly,
here's something interesting about dating.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
So the older you get, the younger you may be
willing to go.

Speaker 10 (31:20):
So a new survey found that 1 in 10 people
in their 50s would date someone 10 years or younger.
Among people in their 60s, even when you are 60,
you're willing to date even younger than you are in
your 50s. Researchers found that that openness to a younger partner,
it keeps increasing with age. They still tend to prefer

(31:42):
someone closer to.

Speaker 8 (31:43):
Their own age.

Speaker 10 (31:43):
But as women get older, they are stepping into what
they're calling their cougar era. And they are willing to
date younger. But this has people talking about a double standard.
So when an older man dates a younger woman, they
say that they are congratulated for it. But when an
older woman dates a younger man, she gets that name cougar.

Speaker 8 (32:06):
So what do you guys think?

Speaker 7 (32:09):
I mean, I feel like when an older guy dates
a younger woman, he's looked at worse than an older
woman is looked at when she dates a younger man.
I feel like it's the other way around. And then
I'd rather be.
A cougar than a sugar daddy anyway. You know what
I'm saying? Like, sugar daddies get a bad rap.

Speaker 8 (32:26):
I would rather be a cougar than a sugar daddy.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
And they're not bad people, man. Sugar daddies get a
bad rap. They're not a bad people. I mean, they're
not bad people, but.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
How many sugar daddies you dated to understand that?

Speaker 7 (32:34):
I only had three. Calm down, Envy.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
Don't do that.

Speaker 7 (32:37):
And my favorite one was Hank. But, yeah, the older women, like,
you know, every now and then you want, you want
a little young guy to, you know, knock it back out. Like,
when Simone Stella got her groove back, you know what
I mean? Like, That makes perfect sense.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I think when you're older, you have to have someone
around you that knows how to check your blood pressure,
reminds you to get your prostate checked, can recognize the
signs of a stroke. If you make certain references, you
want them to get them, right? If I be like, oh,
you're a regular Doogie Howser. I need you to know
who Doogie Howser is.

Speaker 6 (33:09):
You know what I mean? What's that? Who's that? Exactly.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Doogie?

Speaker 6 (33:14):
Yeah, Doogie Howser.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
Doogie Howser he was.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Like this really he was played by Neil Patrick Harris
but he was just like this teen phenom on the
show but he was like extremely smart he was like
a genius he was like a kid he figured things
out yeah yeah.

Speaker 7 (33:26):
I know who Neil Patrick Harris is I never heard
of Doogie Howser though okay.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
Cool exactly But that's what I'm talking about. You see
what I'm saying?

Speaker 7 (33:33):
Hank never told me. He never brought up no Doogie
Howser or none of that.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
Well, he was handicapped. So that wasn't the kind of
doctor he probably was going to see.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Yo, he did have legs.

Speaker 7 (33:45):
They were just paralyzed. He just paralyzed.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
No.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Shout out to Hank.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
Shout out to Hank. Hank watched Berkley's Club. So what's up, Hanky?

I guess in school, everybody said what they want to be.
And kids were like police officers and firemen. And you
said you wanted to be wordy like Lil Wayne.

Speaker 6 (34:50):
Yeah. I don't know where you heard that story from.

Speaker 18 (34:53):
Is that true?

Speaker 16 (34:53):
I'm going to say five.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
That's a lot of words.

Speaker 20 (34:55):
No.

Speaker 6 (34:55):
Who the hell told you that story? Yeah, that's a
crazy story.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Pops told me that story. That's what he told me.
It's Pops. I called his pops and said, tell me
some questions, Pops. You're so old. You called him your dad.
I don't know.

Speaker 25 (35:04):
Maybe he remembers better than I do. But really, it's
from the upbringing, for real. As you know, Pops is
just like a behind-the-scenes guy in the industry. Just coming
up and being privy to what the lifestyle was. For me,
that was the eye-opener. It's like, I know y'all got
some money, and it's from this thing. And who doesn't
like music? So it's just like, I'm around it all
the time. And I always express myself through art. Like,

(35:26):
I hated sports. I wasn't trying to be a firefighter
or a police officer. I'm not doing none of that. Like, rap,
I always been good with words. And I just took
it there and I kept going.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
And now.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
When you call a project bars not dead, are you
defending lyricism? Are you challenging the people who keep saying
this generation don't care about lyrics anymore?

Speaker 6 (35:46):
I think it's just a bit of both. I'm defending
it because I like to rap a lot. It gets...
frowned upon sometimes, especially now. I want to hear all
that rappy rap. Why do people say that? I don't know.
To me, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I look at the last 15 years, the guys who
really thrived are rappity rappers.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
The Kendrick is a rappity rapper.

Speaker 25 (36:05):
Even the Legacy X, it's just like they're a lot
more booked than the newcomers.

Speaker 7 (36:10):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (36:11):
Because of what they did. Cole is a rappity rapper.
Cole is a rappity rapper.

Speaker 14 (36:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:15):
His shows look crazy every night. Yeah.

Speaker 25 (36:18):
So it's just like, I don't know. But yeah, it's
a little bit of both. It's like, I want y'all
to stop saying this thing.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
And then I'm challenging everything else at the same time.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
But you came up in an era where, I hate
to say the rappity rap, but the rappity rap wasn't
necessarily as big as some of the other stuff that
came out.

Speaker 25 (36:34):
This is the thing too, because it wasn't, but at
the same time we had it. And it still was
like something that people look to. Like I had an
argument with, one of my peers, and he was just like, damn, 07,
Laffy Taffy was number one. I'm just like, but T.I.
was still rapping.

Speaker 6 (36:50):
Lil Wayne was just going into the card of three.
It was balanced. Now it's just like there's no balance.
Hold was still outside. Hold was still outside.

Speaker 16 (36:59):
How old was the person you was going back.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
And forth with?

Speaker 6 (37:00):
We the same age. So in 07, I'm 29. In 07,
I was what, 10?

Speaker 16 (37:05):
Because I feel like it's a taste level. Like, there
are people that probably were listening to Effie Teffie that
weren't listening to, like, if you did hear T.I., it
was like, you had to skate and ring.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
But I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
T.I.

Speaker 14 (37:15):
Was lit.

Speaker 10 (37:15):
100%.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
Kanye West's graduation was.

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Out of nowhere.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
It's a taste level thing. It has to be.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
It has to be. and that's my whole point.

Speaker 16 (37:26):
Lupe Fiasco but not everybody listening to Lupe Fiasco and
a lot of people that would listen to Kanye West
and would listen to like a Laffy Taffy there's a
lot a little synergy there but a lot of people
if somebody said that you pointed to Laffy Taffy first
that's a whole different like.

Speaker 25 (37:41):
Mind you the person I was talking to is a
rappy rapper oh wow exactly case in point it's just
like How do we, okay, let's just bring it back
to a space, a place where everything can coexist. I'm
not trying to say like, nah, it's over for that.
Who am I to dictate that? It's just like, let's
not shy away from this thing as well because this
is how.

Speaker 6 (37:59):
We got here.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
And what got you into rapping? Because you got your
degree from Hampton. And what was your major?

Speaker 6 (38:04):
Business management.

Speaker 25 (38:05):
To be honest, I went to school because it just
seemed like the right thing to do.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
I'm not even going to lie to y'all.

Speaker 25 (38:12):
If I could have went to school for hip-hop, I
would have went to school for hip-hop.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
So you knew this is what you wanted to do,
regardless of you going.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
I never had a job.

Speaker 25 (38:21):
This is just my only thing. It's crazy because I
asked my pops for a job one summer. He had
reopened World on Wheels in L.A. I just wanted to
make some bread.

Speaker 16 (38:29):
I used to go there.

Speaker 18 (38:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
And I was just like, yo. I just need a job.
And he was like, you got a job. Keep doing it.
I was like, wow. All right.

Speaker 14 (38:37):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (38:38):
That's great.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yeah, word.

Speaker 6 (38:39):
I was like, all right.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
That's what you want to do with your kids.

Speaker 14 (38:42):
All right.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Do this.

Speaker 6 (38:43):
You got a job.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Do it.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
You figure out how to make some money. You do
it the right way. Now, we're speaking to your pops.
salute to BK Rube too I was gonna.

Speaker 16 (38:50):
Say can we talk through like who is that.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
Is for people who don't know his dad is BK
Rube of course one of Biggie's best friends.

Speaker 6 (38:56):
I'm a pseudo nepo baby that's.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Right and there's nothing wrong with that at all no
I used to look at it like.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
Nah I don't want nah now it's just like yeah.

Speaker 26 (39:04):
Yeah period he was the first person to play me
a record I am who I am long time ago
you see what I'm saying but also too I feel
like you like When you say you're a pseudo-Nepo baby,
it's like, but I know because of the type of
cloth that that means you came from that.

Speaker 6 (39:17):
Like, you still worked.

Speaker 16 (39:18):
Like, you still had to work for something.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
And you know how to fight.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
I worked for everything. I worked for everything.

Speaker 14 (39:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
That's what a lot of people get confused.

Speaker 25 (39:24):
Like, I can speak for myself. I worked for everything.
But that's also how I was brought up.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
It's like, I'm also.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
a person.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
I don't like things handed to me. It's naturally. I don't,
I don't want you to just come with your hand
out like, oh yeah, here's this thing.

Speaker 18 (39:37):
Go do it.

Speaker 25 (39:37):
Cause it's just like, people can tell like, oh, he,
I don't even know who this kid is, where he
came from. At least now I got a little bit
of a history. People can go back and be like, oh,
he's been doing this for a little minute.

Speaker 16 (39:47):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
And it's just now finally clicking with people. It takes
a long time. That's how I felt. Because I didn't
know Ru was your pop. You know what I mean?
And I had heard your music before, but over the holidays,
Nala was just letting me hear a bunch of stuff. Yeah,
because Charlamagne was not a fan in the beginning. Tell
us about it.

Speaker 16 (40:03):
Everybody had that experience with Charlamagne.

Speaker 25 (40:05):
I think Nala might have played the last tape, and
he was just like, uh-uh.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
It is what it is.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
But you got to admit, you stepped up lyrically. No, 1,000%.
I feel like you was making.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Records that you thought were going to be that radio
would want to hear.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
I did do a lot of that. A lot of conforming.
You were dumbing down your pen.

Speaker 25 (40:21):
I did a lot of that, yeah. It's just like,
I've completely stepped out of it. That whole person that
was doing that, I'd hit the score.

Speaker 6 (40:28):
I don't even know.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
No, but the first time I think Nyla played it,
it was May 2025, right? And I remember listening to it.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
I remember hearing it. I was like, yo, this kid
is dope.

Speaker 8 (40:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (40:36):
That's when your pops hit me.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
He's like, yo, you know what?

Speaker 6 (40:37):
That's my son.

Speaker 5 (40:38):
That's the kid I've been telling you about.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
That's the souls that are playing with you.

Speaker 6 (40:40):
May 25th was lyrical.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
Did your dad want you in the industry seeing that
everything he's seen through Biggie and Bad Boy, did he
want you in the industry?

Speaker 6 (40:50):
He never told me he didn't. More than anything.

Speaker 25 (40:52):
he just like this what you asked for like when
i call him like yo i'm i'm cooked i've been
out five days he's like and like yeah you're gonna
be out a lot more days you keep doing what
you're doing so my mom's was more so like oh.

Speaker 7 (41:04):
You don't want to you you want to go get
a job you.

Speaker 25 (41:08):
Tripping like i know i'm sorry i don't knock nobody
that has a job i just i'm not doing what's
in your path yeah i just your dream yeah like
i gotta do it but pops was always like No,
I see it.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
Like, you can do this. Keep doing it. Let's go.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
What did he tell you the most difficult thing was?
And the reason I ask is he seen Big when
nobody believed. And Big had to go to rounds of
rapping outside and freestyling and.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
To the world court. So what was his advice to you?

Speaker 6 (41:32):
Just keep the most cliche advice. It's just like, keep going. Exactly. Like,
you see it all.

Speaker 25 (41:38):
You see from one day, it's just like, your man's
is just a hustler on the corner. And then he's
the biggest thing in the world before he passes away.
And then when he passes away, he's even bigger. It's
just like, I've seen this with my own two eyes.
You can definitely do this. You just keep doing what
you got to do. So I'm just here doing what
I got to do to the best of my ability.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
What was the ball for you? What was the person
that you said it was like, that's the lane I
want to go through?

Speaker 6 (42:01):
It's always been Jay-Z for me since I was a kid.
I didn't like Nas.

Speaker 5 (42:04):
Damn, tell them how you feel.

Speaker 25 (42:06):
Yeah, that's how biased I was. Jay-Z was just like,
he's the guy.

Speaker 6 (42:10):
But getting older, it's like Kendrick and Cole. Kendrick is
somebody that I feel.

Speaker 25 (42:14):
Like never conformed to nothing. And he figured it out.
It's mad people that don't like Kendrick. Even before the
Drake beef, it's like, we don't want to listen to that.

Speaker 6 (42:22):
It's too many words. I don't know what he's talking about.
It's a pimple butterfly. I don't get it. Whatever the
case may be. And it's just like, look at him.
Why not? Just do what you got to do.

Speaker 25 (42:32):
Because everybody that's super successful, even though the legacy acts
that we were just talking about, it's.

Speaker 6 (42:36):
Like they all did their own thing.

Speaker 25 (42:39):
And that's why they're still here, 50 years old, selling
out of stadiums.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
It's like we got four or five of us my
age that can do that right now.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
What made you a believer?

Speaker 5 (42:49):
What was the moment that you said this could really happen?
What was that moment?

Speaker 6 (42:53):
You want to know what's crazy?

Speaker 25 (42:53):
I dropped my first song on like all the DSPs
in 2018, right? About a Third song, I went viral.
I dropped a song called West with King Combs and
O3 Greedo.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
That went up.

Speaker 25 (43:05):
That was like it, because after that, I got a
feature from Chris Brown, just because he liked the song.

Speaker 6 (43:10):
Just out of TP, he just heard it. You feel me?

Speaker 25 (43:12):
Just being around the right people, they're playing my music.
I was in Hampton, stressed, just like, oh my gosh.
My man Ralph calling me like, yo, CB, he wants
to get on this song. I'm like, stop calling me
about this.

Speaker 24 (43:26):
Do it.

Speaker 25 (43:26):
Like, I'm not going to say no. I don't want
a Chris Brown feature. And it just kept going from there.
I got to push a T feature after that. But
this is all out of like the respect of how
I'm operating in this space. Like, okay, this kid is
actually nice. Yeah, we do know who he is, but
that's not everything. That's just extras. So for me, it's
just like it's always been little points that I made
that just shows me like, all right, you got something.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 25 (43:49):
If you keep doing what you're supposed to do, whatever's
supposed to happen and click is going to click and
you'll be straight.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
Who from Chris Brown's camp called you? Somebody called you
or did they call you?

Speaker 25 (43:59):
My man Ralph is actually from my camp, but he
was just LA hanging around. He got cool with CB.
So he started hanging with CB's camp. Hanging with CB's camp.

Speaker 6 (44:10):
He's playing.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Your music.

Speaker 6 (44:11):
You feel me?

Speaker 2 (44:12):
He's playing the.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
Back home stuff. And CB is just like, yo, I
already know this. I know him. I know his pops.
I know the whole crew. I like this song. And
CB's one of those people. If he likes a song,
he will get on your song. He did it. And
me being in school, he's like, yo, let's shoot the
video next week. I'm like, ah, bro.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
I got class tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (44:30):
Class tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
And business.

Speaker 6 (44:32):
And business.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
Every Thursday, you got to wear the suit on the top.

Speaker 6 (44:35):
Got class. And now I look back like, damn, I
should have left. You should have left.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
Like, what?

Speaker 16 (44:40):
I swear there wasn't a video ever shot though.

Speaker 6 (44:41):
I was following the rules so much. No, there was
no video.

Speaker 16 (44:44):
I thought that there was a something.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
You bugging.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
But I understand.

Speaker 6 (44:47):
Yo, I tweaked.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
You could have said you were sick.

Speaker 6 (44:49):
I could have did it.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Family emergency.

Speaker 5 (44:51):
You could have missed a day or two.

Speaker 6 (44:52):
I could have did anything.

Speaker 16 (44:53):
Yeah. But what was like at that point, it's like
you knew you had something, but you didn't know that
you had something enough where you was like, I got
to go shoot this video.

Speaker 6 (45:00):
No, let me tell you what it was. I was
about to graduate.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
I'm so close. I'm just like, if I leave now,
I'm never coming back. I think I respect that.

Speaker 7 (45:07):
I get you.

Speaker 25 (45:08):
That was my logic behind it. I'm like, if I leave, no,
let me tell you something. If I left for that day,
I was never going back to school.

Speaker 16 (45:17):
Got you.

Speaker 6 (45:18):
Never going back.

Speaker 25 (45:18):
And it's just like, I've already wasted this much money
and time. I barely wanted to be here.

Speaker 6 (45:25):
I'll be damned if I don't finish and I'm right here.
I respect that.

Speaker 18 (45:28):
You feel me?

Speaker 25 (45:28):
So it's just like, that's, that's, it was like a,
it wasn't a dream deferred, but it was kind of
a dream deferred because once we put it out, it
was just like, well, that's that.

Speaker 16 (45:36):
Did you understand, because you was on a college campus
and it can be like such a bubble, did you
understand the virality of the song? Like, did you feel it?

Speaker 6 (45:42):
I dropped the song with CB during COVID, so no.

Speaker 16 (45:45):
Okay, because I remember that was a first. It's crazy
because that song, they would play it a lot in LA.
I was living in LA at the time when y'all
dropped it.

Speaker 6 (45:53):
The Tank song or the West?

Speaker 3 (45:55):
No, the West.

Speaker 6 (45:56):
Oh, no, that song? I experienced that vibe.

Speaker 16 (45:59):
That was my first time hearing it, but I didn't
know you were the same person when Nyla started talking
about you.

Speaker 25 (46:03):
This is how crazy it was, right? The song was
so much bigger than me, and I was in school.
I wasn't about to graduate. This is like primetime school.
I would escape every other weekend or so. The song
was so much bigger than me. They would perform it
at Live in my man's V. He used to be
my manager. He's one of my best friends. He would
perform for me because nobody knew what I looked like.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
That's crazy.

Speaker 6 (46:23):
So the people that I would go to school with,
they know it's my song because I go to school
with y'all.

Speaker 25 (46:26):
But outside in the world, I would be just outside
and people are listening to the song.

Speaker 16 (46:30):
I mean, we would be at hookah bars, everything. That
song was going crazy.

Speaker 6 (46:33):
People didn't start recognizing what I looked like until this year.

Speaker 14 (46:36):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (46:37):
So what got you to Drama Generation now? Because they
are a southern label.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
You're an East Coast rapper?

Speaker 6 (46:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
What do I mean?

Speaker 6 (46:44):
I'm not.

Speaker 25 (46:45):
Look, I ended up, after I graduated, I was like,
I don't really know what else I can do in
New York. I was born and raised here. It's time
for me to spread my wings and fly. Atlanta was
like the next best thing. I moved to Atlanta December 20th, 2019.
I kid you not. I had a sold out show
at SOB's. Then I drove down to Atlanta, started working.

(47:08):
You know, the studio in Atlanta is like the stoop.
in new york everybody's anybody at any studio wings everything
literally so i'm you know me and my manager we
just jigging around atlanta we finding studios to record in
for free just building doing all that and by i
say 2022 one of my uncles moved around with lake

(47:28):
and i'm a lot he's just like yo i know
y'all looking for like a real rapper gotta check out.

Speaker 6 (47:34):
Like, I gotta check out. And even my pops would
double down like, yo. 22, right? 22. Damn, Jack Hall. Lord,
he was looking for a real rapper.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
That's crazy.

Speaker 6 (47:42):
That's what's happening.

Speaker 13 (47:43):
They like, when they don't.

Speaker 5 (47:45):
Switch their hats and cars, they like.

Speaker 13 (47:48):
That's why.

Speaker 6 (47:48):
That's a rapper.

Speaker 19 (47:49):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
And, Lake's like, damn, don't put me in this. No, yeah,
Lake is here right away.

Speaker 25 (48:00):
Lake told me to come to the office. And this
is how I knew I was going to Janelle. I
went to the office. I played 15 songs. If you've
ever been to a label meeting, guys, they'll never let
you play more than three.

Speaker 6 (48:15):
Ever. You never get more than three. I played 15.
And they just locked in, like. All right, okay. And
then after the last song was done, Lake was like, yeah,
I want to sign you. I started recording.

Speaker 25 (48:25):
And he was like, the last person you got to
get to is Cannon. Cannon is a tough critic. He
doesn't like anything. If he likes you, we're good.

Speaker 6 (48:31):
Cannon came to the studio one day. He was like, yo,
what up? Here, this is a beat. He gave me
a beat. It was like a rendition of Song Cry.

Speaker 20 (48:37):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 25 (48:37):
I might have did the whole song in 20 minutes.

Speaker 6 (48:39):
He was like, oh, nah. But the craziest thing is,
a year before that, I had DM'd Cannon. Like, yo,
I got a song.

Speaker 7 (48:47):
He opened the DM.

Speaker 6 (48:48):
He was like, this is trash. This is some Charlamagne.
He was like, man, this is terrible. This is terrible.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Nah, it is.

Speaker 6 (48:55):
It is.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Did you tell him that during that?

Speaker 4 (48:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (48:57):
If he was here, he'd be like, yeah, I did.

Speaker 16 (48:59):
You wouldn't have wanted what you were doing then to be.
I think where you are right now and how it's
happening is like, this is you. It's so crazy putting
you with that song, those other songs. You really are
like a whole different person now.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
What is something that canon or leg or drama corrected
in you that initially irritated you?

Speaker 6 (49:18):
But you realize like, damn, they right.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
Why the hell is Lake laughing?

Speaker 6 (49:22):
It must have happened on the way here.

Speaker 25 (49:24):
More than anything, because he met the timid soul, the
one that's like, I don't want to do nothing.

Speaker 6 (49:30):
You feel me?

Speaker 25 (49:30):
So a lot of that, I feel like the grand
scheme is artist development. I really wasn't a firm, I
didn't think it existed. But being with them, it's just like, okay,
I could still be developed. I even thought I was
at that. When I dropped all them records, I'm like,
I don't need no coaching, no nothing. I've been here before.

Speaker 6 (49:47):
It's like, no, you have not. It's a lost art.
You have not been here.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
But that's what I think Generation Now does so well.

Speaker 6 (49:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (49:54):
What other labels don't do. You can see the work
they put in Uzi. You can see the work they
put in Harlow. You can see the work that they
put in artists that most people won't do. I think
a lot of it, too, is they are producers and DJs,
so they hear a different sound.

Speaker 6 (50:06):
Exactly. And for me, it's just like, why not listen?
Because in the beginning, it's just like.

Speaker 25 (50:10):
I don't even care what they're saying. I might not
have vocalized it, but it's just like, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 6 (50:15):
F * * * them country. That's crazy. But now
it's just like, nah, they right.

Speaker 8 (50:21):
Nah, they are.

Speaker 6 (50:22):
They right.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
They got an ear for it, absolutely.

Speaker 6 (50:24):
They know what they're doing.

Speaker 14 (50:24):
They right.

Speaker 6 (50:25):
I've heard you talk about dealing with anxiety. Yeah.

Speaker 25 (50:28):
Because you wrote a book called Tranquil. Yeah, overcoming the experience.
While I was in Hampton, I was going through it.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
What was so bad?

Speaker 5 (50:35):
What was difficult?

Speaker 25 (50:36):
I had went through something before getting there. At Del State,
it was crazy. It was like an experience I never
went through, especially being from Brooklyn to go through something
like that in Delaware.

Speaker 6 (50:46):
It was just like, this makes no sense. Something that
traumatized you? It wasn't really traumatic.

Speaker 25 (50:50):
It was just something that I really never go through.
And it almost got a little bit too real. Realer
than I ever would have seen it coming. But in
the moment, it's just like I'm dealing.

Speaker 6 (50:59):
With it head on. Like I'm not.

Speaker 25 (51:01):
I'm not tucking my tail for nothing.

Speaker 5 (51:03):
What was the moment if you don't mind?

Speaker 25 (51:04):
I just got into it with a bunch of people
that I didn't even know I was getting into it with.

Speaker 6 (51:08):
It's like it's just coming from angles. It wasn't just me.

Speaker 25 (51:10):
It was just a group of my peers and it's
just like people we thought we was cool with. They
did something shady one day and now we're just at
odds with from philly from delaware and it was just
like all right i don't even know what's going on
but i do know i'm protecting myself by any means
so whatever it is it is i left and that's
when the anxiety started to crack for me and i'm
just like yo what's going on like i'm having heart

(51:32):
palpitations panic attack i go straight to the hospital i'm
like i'm about to die it's over it's over for
me i guess the hospital ain't like you haven't It's
an anxiety attack.

Speaker 6 (51:42):
It's a panic attack. I'm just like, oh, okay. But
it happened after the fact. So it's just like, okay.
I didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 25 (51:48):
So I only left Del State because I initially wanted
to go to Hampton. Straight out of high school, my grades,
I just didn't meet it. I didn't meet the requirements.
So I went to Del State first. I had like
a 3-3. Went to Hampton. I got to Hampton. I'm
thinking it's going to be just as like, in the beginning,
I'm like, oh, it's going to be just as fire
as Del State.

Speaker 6 (52:05):
Because Del State is the ghetto. I loved it there.

Speaker 20 (52:08):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 5 (52:09):
I got to Hampton.

Speaker 25 (52:09):
It's like, yeah, y'all got to be inside at 11 o'clock.

Speaker 6 (52:14):
I said, whoa.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
Curfew until homecoming.

Speaker 6 (52:16):
I said, whoa.

Speaker 25 (52:16):
Yo, my first roommate used to have seizures. My RD
didn't tell me. Like, it was just like, I just.

Speaker 6 (52:22):
You thought he liked your music. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (52:27):
He's good.

Speaker 14 (52:29):
He's good.

Speaker 4 (52:29):
He's good.

Speaker 6 (52:30):
Okay. But nobody told me. One day, I'm just chilling
in the room. It might have been the first day.

Speaker 5 (52:44):
I don't even know what to do.

Speaker 6 (52:49):
And I'm not even laughing at it. I'm laughing at Charlemagne.
Charlemagne did this. I don't know what happened. He started.
I'm just like, oh, no.

Speaker 7 (52:58):
Hold on.

Speaker 6 (52:58):
The R.D.

Speaker 25 (52:59):
Was like, oh, yeah, by the way. I'm like, by
the way? This is not something you by the way.
You're supposed to tell me this. I was like, cool.
I might be able to deal with it. He might
got to like the third fourth joint i'm like all
right bro respectfully but i don't know what i'm going
through right now and i'll i'll be damned.

Speaker 6 (53:15):
If we're both in here we just.

Speaker 25 (53:17):
Bugging out what year was it you was james hall
harkness okay yeah cooked was cooked and he was like
now i respected it i ended up moving downstairs everything
was i wanted to and in the beginning i could
you know i wanted to transfer the week i got
there i was like i gotta get out of here
i feel like i'm in prison can't there's no visitation
i'm like what is this i hit pops i'm like

(53:38):
yo can i go to clark he was like no
you're not you're gonna thug it out and then as
time progressed it got better like i just i think
it gets better once you realize things discipline just yeah well.

Speaker 5 (53:50):
That's what it is it's about discipline it's you got
to think when people go to college a lot of
times they lose themselves Because they never had that much freedom.

Speaker 7 (53:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
So what Hampton does is it guides you to get
to that point.

Speaker 6 (54:00):
But imagine having the freedom.

Speaker 16 (54:02):
Yeah, because at Del State, you just.

Speaker 6 (54:03):
Del State, I got my car.

Speaker 16 (54:05):
You better be smart about life.

Speaker 25 (54:06):
I'm in a co-ed dorm. My RA is damn near
my age. So it's like I'm not ever listening to
you about nothing.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
And it's just turnt. I get to Hampton, it's like
I'm in an all-boys dorm.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 6 (54:16):
11 o'clock.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
Can't have your car.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
Can't have your car.

Speaker 6 (54:20):
You will get out by five. And I'm just like,
wait a minute. Hold on. It's a lot.

Speaker 25 (54:24):
I didn't even have this back home. So for me,
it's just like with the anxiety I already had and
then just dealing with that. I went to therapy. That's
the first time I'm going to therapy at Hampton.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
And it was just like. That's good. I'm tonight.

Speaker 25 (54:35):
It wasn't good for me because I went and I'm
just like, miss, I'm bugging out every day. Coming to
you once a week is not efficient.

Speaker 6 (54:44):
You got to go more.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Because once you realize it's something happening to your mind
and not your body, it's able to put it in
proper perspective.

Speaker 25 (54:53):
And then I just started, like, the idle mind is
really the playground of the devil. I started just getting
out more. All right, let me go tap in with people.
Let me go work out. Let me go to the cafe.
Let me just do the student center. Whatever I can
do to just ease my mind.

Speaker 6 (55:06):
And then it helped.

Speaker 25 (55:07):
And then I ended up writing a book. I'm just like,
I know it's not only helped me or the people
that's in school. Everybody deals with it at some point.

Speaker 6 (55:13):
That's right. So this is something that I can just
share with the world.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
But you know what? That's what, when I went to Hampton,
that's what put me. tight with the locals.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Cause what I would do is, first of all, I
would be out on the weekend. So I would get
out or I would sneak out, sneak out.

Speaker 11 (55:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:28):
And I would walk down the back by the, uh,
the parking lot behind the cemetery.

Speaker 6 (55:32):
You was in Harkness?

Speaker 3 (55:33):
I was in James.

Speaker 6 (55:33):
James, okay.

Speaker 5 (55:34):
And I would sneak out, but that's what got me
cool with the locals. Cause you, you couldn't be, couldn't
come after 10. So I, I'm hanging out with Pusha T,
Tim Montgomery.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
I'm with Allen Iverson. I'm with all the locals there.

Speaker 6 (55:46):
You was in the 75.

Speaker 5 (55:47):
I was in the 75. So I knew more people
locally than the actual school because of all those.

Speaker 6 (55:52):
Because you wanted to be outside.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
I was DJing.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
I had to pay the bills.

Speaker 6 (55:55):
That's a fact.

Speaker 25 (55:56):
And me, I also, I was jaded in a sense.
I was like, I got a little bit of Instagram.
I got more followers than everybody here. I don't care
about nothing. Y'all gonna know me. That's really what my
mindset was.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
So what got you to the point where the anxiety
slowed down and you would be able to control it
a little more, I should say?

Speaker 6 (56:11):
Just the process of just doing things.

Speaker 25 (56:13):
Like, I realized, like what Charlamagne just said, once you realize,
it's like, oh, this is a mind thing. I started
doing things and I started going outside and laughing and
having fun and just chopping it up with joints and
all that. It's just like, it's not even there no more.
Then I go back home and it's just like, oh,
back is.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
Against the wall. And I'm just like, oh, okay.

Speaker 11 (56:30):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 6 (56:31):
This is a mind thing.

Speaker 25 (56:32):
I can get over this as long as I just
continue to do what I.

Speaker 6 (56:34):
And by the time... The next school year, it's just like,
I'm cool.

Speaker 25 (56:38):
I ain't tripping about nothing.

Speaker 6 (56:40):
I'll tell you one thing, though. You about to have
a baby.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
That parental paranoia, anxiety of being a parent, I'm telling
you right now.

Speaker 6 (56:47):
It's going to come back.

Speaker 16 (56:48):
You already kind of set your boundaries, though, it sounds like,
because I know on a project you talk about, you know,
your kid is about to come. You're not playing with people.

Speaker 6 (56:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 7 (56:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 20 (56:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (56:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (56:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 14 (56:57):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (56:57):
Thank you.

Speaker 16 (56:58):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
All of my anxiety is rooted in my family and
my kids everything now I be chilling because I keep
my family with me like I'm the one that's like
we won't move together like you know what I mean
like my daughter before she go we all on.

Speaker 5 (57:18):
Life 360 I go on vacations with her she's 24
now so we go to the club with each other
we go to the hookah spot I keep them close
because I am concerned.

Speaker 6 (57:26):
But I'm just telling you right now. It's balance. Yeah,
it really is.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
My daughter went to NYU so I can make sure
I can sit there. Oh, yeah. Okay. I'm that dad.

Speaker 6 (57:33):
He was dealing with the anxiety. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (57:36):
But the crazy thing is my son went to the
University of Miami. I'm like, all right, see you later, man.

Speaker 25 (57:39):
It's so much different. Because I wanted a boy initially.
And when I found out it was a girl, I
was just like, ah, bet. At first I was like, oh,
all right. But now I'm just like, I can't wait
to meet her because she would have been right here.

Speaker 3 (57:49):

Speaker 20 (58:03):

Speaker 5 (58:37):
Let's get right to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming
a straight face.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

Speaker 6 (58:44):
She gets the details.

Speaker 16 (58:45):
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

Speaker 6 (58:49):
She be having the latest on this.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
have a little bit of everything.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 16 (59:03):
Dog low good morning y'all Nothing so we got to
get into some things this morning because Nori is responding
to a lawsuit that was filed this week. And we
received a statement on the lawsuit. So first, let me
back up and give you guys some background because we
hadn't talked about this yet. There's a woman named Carmen
Bryan who is... The mother of one of Nas' children

(59:27):
that filed a lawsuit against Nori earlier this week in
New York. Now, she is alleging that there was an
incident that went down in May of 1999. And in
this lawsuit, she is alleging that Nori was drunk at
a party. And he approached her allegedly in front of
a bunch of witnesses and committed digital penetration is how
it's listed in the doc.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
What is digital penetration?

Speaker 16 (59:48):
Digital is your fingers. Oh, I didn't know that either
until this.

Speaker 7 (59:52):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
But yes.

Speaker 16 (59:53):
So she alleges that that happened in front of witnesses
in a party and that and she also alleges that
none of her attempts to stop this worked. It was
only when third parties intervened that everything stopped. Now, Nori
has responded, as I mentioned earlier. uh, for his team,
his attorney. So this statement says the allegations by Ms. Bryan, uh,

(01:00:14):
are invented interactions in about invented interactions with Mr. Santiago,
who is Nori from nearly three decades ago are entirely false.
It should be noted that Ms. Bryan has a long
history of making salacious and contested claims about public figures.
This includes a 2006 tell all book where she provided
a detail about her personal vendettas and sexual encounters with
celebrities yet nowhere in this tell all or her 2018

(01:00:35):
book life after child support, When the checks stopped coming,
did she mention Mr. Santiago or anything resembling this alleged incident?
We will defend Mr. Santiago from this legally groundless lawsuit
and look forward to exposing Ms. Bryant's fabrications in court
as we clear Norrie's name. So that was from his attorneys.

Speaker 7 (01:00:54):
Norrie is Hispanic?

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
Norrie is half black, half Spanish.

Speaker 7 (01:00:57):
I did not know that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:58):
Yeah, he's half black, half Spanish. But I wonder how
do you prove something or how do you get evidence
for something that's 27 years old?

Speaker 7 (01:01:07):
And if she wrote tell all books like you say
you know you would think something like that would be
in it.

Speaker 16 (01:01:12):
Yeah i'm i'm not for sure how she you know
plans to do that but uh in the doc she
says that she disclosed this assault she alleges she disclosed
this assault years ago to jay-z um and that she
was you know and he was going to confront nori
at one time personally but she asked him to find a.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
Way to bring jay-z into every damn thing that's not
that's true.

Speaker 6 (01:01:32):
Now she said, yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:01:32):
The lawsuit characterizes this conduct as assault, battery, gender-motivated violence
under the New York law.

Speaker 25 (01:01:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:01:38):
So don't go to the cops.

Speaker 6 (01:01:39):
We're going to bring Jay-Z into every damn thing.

Speaker 7 (01:01:42):
Don't go to the cops. I'm going to tell Jay-Z.
He's going to do something.

Speaker 5 (01:01:47):
But Nas is her baby father.

Speaker 6 (01:01:50):
Crazy.

Speaker 16 (01:01:51):
Yeah, she says that once, allegedly during this incident, once
Nori recognized her as Nas's partner outside the club, he
immediately apologized saying, I didn't know it was you. You
were doing something different. You did something different with your hair. So, yeah,
and he tried to apologize weeks later. So there's a
whole thing that's here, but I don't know how, you know,
from that time to now you plan to move forward.

(01:02:11):
She says that she remained silent until she read about
Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
By the way, when I hear that, I'm like, I
chose to remain silent until I saw Cassie's lawsuit, a.k.a.

Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
Until I saw how much money Cassie got. Hello?

Speaker 10 (01:02:25):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Because there's a lot of other, there's been a lot
of other lawsuits and things that have happened that, that
one in particular.

Speaker 5 (01:02:32):
For 27 years, bro.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
27 years.

Speaker 7 (01:02:35):
Crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Come on.

Speaker 6 (01:02:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
Come on.

Speaker 16 (01:02:37):
All right. Well, moving on. Next story. So, Clarissa Shields
and Remy Ma are back at it again online, going
back and forth.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
No.

Speaker 16 (01:02:47):
Yeah, so the other day, there was a video that
Remy posted from behind the scenes of her video that
she has where Alicia Baumgartner's in the video, the diss
song that she did to Clarissa.

Speaker 5 (01:02:56):
Remember that?

Speaker 16 (01:02:57):
So there's been like little... kind of like sub tweets,
I guess you would call it if that's still a thing. Um,
but now it's actually more direct because, uh, I'll just
read the tweets. So Clarissa posted, uh, she says she's
laughing some more and then she's calling, uh, she's talking
about who she's asking who's press. So Remy says, I'll be,
I'll be laughing when I hear you lie. Like you

(01:03:18):
wasn't meat surfing me for years. I'll address that in
detail eventually too. But in case you forgot, here's you
and my DM from January, 2020 to 2024. Weirdo. I
tried to help you plug fugly self. Now you hate me.
So then Remy shows some of the DMs. Remember she
was showing those DMs before.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:03:33):
But there's one DM that was new that I saw
that Remy was talking about coming to the fight. And
she was like, yeah, I'm marking the fight down right
now because hubby loves you. So that was like kind
of awkward.

Speaker 6 (01:03:42):
How do you spell fugly? I just need to Google it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
F-U-G-L-Y.

Speaker 7 (01:03:46):
You already knew that.

Speaker 13 (01:03:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:03:49):
And then Clarissa continues and she's saying that Remy was
under her post press. She says that Remy has been
pressed for the last two years. She's asking, who has
Remy ever pulled up on? Who's scared of you? She
says Remy's going through a midlife crisis. And she alleges
that Remy cheated on Pepu Sweet Easy. And now she's
getting choked by the white boy because of the song
that Remy just dropped with... What's the artist? Millie. Millie, yes.

Speaker 7 (01:04:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:04:14):
So, yeah, there's back and forth. Remy's posting the tattoo
that Pat Pooh's had, the Remy bottle with her on
the mic. And she says, I'm really from New York.
I promise you a thousand percent you're getting jumped, possibly poked.
F you thought.

Speaker 6 (01:04:28):
Who said that?

Speaker 7 (01:04:29):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
Oh, Lord.

Speaker 7 (01:04:31):
Thanks for the crime.

Speaker 6 (01:04:32):
We all just get along, guys.

Speaker 16 (01:04:34):
She told her to take Pepu to a cover-up artist
for his tattoo. Yeah, but the whole premise is, not
the premise, but another part of this is that Remy
says that they're headed back into court today. And people
were asking Clarissa if she was going to court, and
she's like, it's virtual. That was a part of it
as well. And I know, you know, just from rumblings
behind the scenes that they've been in court for like
the last like two weeks, Papoose and Remy have been.

(01:04:54):
So Remy said in a post yesterday as well to Papoose,
if you really, you know, show your love for Clarissa.
And she put papers like signing papers emoji.

Speaker 6 (01:05:03):
So I don't like any of this.

Speaker 7 (01:05:05):
I don't either.

Speaker 6 (01:05:06):
And it all seems very, very, very messy. And I
don't know how it got to this point between those
two individuals.

Speaker 7 (01:05:12):
What you mean?

Speaker 6 (01:05:14):
Because it shouldn't even be between the two women. It
should be between Papoose and Remy.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
I agree.

Speaker 16 (01:05:20):
I think the songs didn't help. The interviews don't help.
But we see how it got to this point. Man,
we saw how it got to this point.

Speaker 6 (01:05:28):
Maybe I don't be paying attention.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
It's Remy.

Speaker 16 (01:05:32):
It's Clarissa doing the interviews where even if she doesn't
say Remy's name, she's talking about the situation and Remy
doesn't like that. It's the song that Remy did where
she has Clarissa's, you know, boxing ops in the video.

Speaker 7 (01:05:43):
I hate when a nigga act stupid, boy. We know
how this got here.

Speaker 6 (01:05:46):
When you don't be knowing stuff, I don't know either.

Speaker 7 (01:05:50):
All right.

Speaker 6 (01:05:51):
This your lane.

Speaker 7 (01:05:53):
I'm just saying, yo, we know how. Yes, you do.

Speaker 16 (01:05:57):
At this point, though, I just hope they'll.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Are they talking about poking each other online? No, I
don't know how it got to this point. It got
to this point where they threatened violence towards each other?

Speaker 7 (01:06:03):
Well, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
One said, I'll beat all three of y'all up. And
the other one said, we don't fight fair.

Speaker 5 (01:06:08):
We'll jump you. He might even poke you. That's how
it got there. But hopefully, they calmed down. But it
really got there from the beginning when they went back
and forth. And one was in another DMs. And they
thought they were friendly. And it didn't happen like that.
But at the end of the day, I hope it
stops here. They have a child together. I just hope
whatever happens, they get their divorce and they both move on.

(01:06:29):
Because like you said, I don't want to see anybody
get hurt.

Speaker 6 (01:06:31):
This is just silly.

Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
I don't want to see anybody go to jail. I
don't want to see nobody get injured. They have a
child together. I hope that whatever happens in court today,
you said they're in court today?

Speaker 16 (01:06:41):
Yeah, Remy said they're headed back to court today at
9.30 a.m.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
They figure out the divorce and then they move on.

Speaker 16 (01:06:47):
I just wonder what is holding it up at this
point like if it's to this point where she's like
yo just sign the papers like what is let's.

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
Probably negotiations they probably trying to split stuff like it's
you know what I mean they was together for a
while I mean I know they probably had businesses together
and you know it's just not as easy to get
divorced it's easy to get married yeah but it ain't
easy to get.

Speaker 5 (01:07:06):
Divorced they have assets with each other I'm sure they
gotta be broken up you know what I mean And
I'm sure child support, I'm sure.

Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
You know, they've been married.

Speaker 5 (01:07:13):
But this has been a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
And the opinions of other people don't make it no better.
That's why when you play all of this stuff online publicly,
then everybody got an opinion and people don't know what
the hell they be talking about. And then they asking
you about stuff in interviews and you respond. And it's
just like all of this should have been kept between...
The ex-husband, ex-wife, and the mediator.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
But it wasn't.

Speaker 16 (01:07:33):
But in the beginning, they were trying. Remember, like, in
the way beginning before Remy got on live, we were
hearing that there was, like, something happening, but they were
keeping it within their household, right?

Speaker 7 (01:07:43):
But it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
And it exploded.

Speaker 7 (01:07:45):
Yeah, it's hard to not have an opinion. It's always mentioned,
you know what I mean? So here we are.

Speaker 16 (01:07:52):
Well, look, I hope we don't get to where it
sounds like it's going at all, period.

Speaker 7 (01:07:57):
It's already like it's shanked.

Speaker 6 (01:07:59):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (01:08:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:08:01):
All right, y'all.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
It's definitely there already. Yeah, that's what I just said.
I just hope it could calm.

Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
Down a lot.

Speaker 16 (01:08:06):
I hope it don't leave online is what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
I just hope it could calm down a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:08:09):
Like Charlamagne said, it should have just stayed between those
two and.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
Then we can figure it behind the scenes.

Speaker 6 (01:08:13):
But it didn't.

Speaker 7 (01:08:14):
We know what it is.

Speaker 16 (01:08:16):
Guys, wrap up, y'all. We got to get out of here.

Speaker 7 (01:08:18):
Man, I just hope everything will be all right, man.

Speaker 6 (01:08:20):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 20 (01:08:20):
We do.

Speaker 6 (01:08:20):
I don't want to see nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
I mean, I get it, but I don't want to
sit down.

Speaker 6 (01:08:24):
I do, Messy Boots. I want everybody to be okay.
I don't want nobody to get hurt. So do I.
This is Messy. No, you don't. You like mess.

Speaker 5 (01:08:29):
So do I.

Speaker 7 (01:08:30):
No, I don't like.

Speaker 16 (01:08:31):
Well, you know, it's all right. It's entertaining, but at
the same time, it's not. That was brought to you
by Top Dog Law, y'all. They won over a billion
dollars for their clients. If you guys get in an accident,
make the call. Top Dog Law. Their bark is their bite.

Speaker 6 (01:08:43):
All right.

Speaker 7 (01:08:44):
You're acting like y'all don't know how we got here.

Speaker 14 (01:08:45):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
It's the People's Donkey up next. 1-800-585-1051. You can call
up and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:08:52):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (01:08:52):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
It's your time to nominate a donkey of your own.

Speaker 16 (01:08:59):
Remember that.

Speaker 6 (01:09:00):
That is how they choose. Call in now.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):

years since 9-11, is the People's Donkey. That's when we
allow you, the people, to call in and give somebody
the credit they deserve for being stupid.

Speaker 6 (01:09:19):
So 1-800-585-1051. Good morning. Who's this?

Speaker 14 (01:09:23):
Hey, this is DeVar.

Speaker 6 (01:09:24):
DeVar. Who do you want to give the biggest hee-haw to, sir?

Speaker 14 (01:09:26):
First of all, I want to say good morning to
the room.

Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
Good morning.

Speaker 14 (01:09:29):
My Dominican brother, DJ Envy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
Que la su, que la pe, wepa.

Speaker 6 (01:09:33):
Good morning, brother.

Speaker 9 (01:09:35):
I got to give it to my baby's mother, my
daughter's mother and Lauren.

Speaker 14 (01:09:41):
But two separate reasons.

Speaker 6 (01:09:43):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (01:09:43):
My daughter's mother, you know, I'm an active father and
I've been an active.

Speaker 14 (01:09:46):
Father in my daughter's life.

Speaker 9 (01:09:48):
And the last two years of my daughter's teenage life
of 16, 18, my daughter's mother has been trying to
convince her that I'm the bad guy. But yeah, I'm
the one that provide everything. And I try and, you know,
push my daughter in the right direction to make something
of herself. And she tried to tell her that, you know,
I'm stressing her out and I'm telling her, you know,
what to be and what to do. And I'm just

(01:10:09):
trying to tell her I'm a supportive father. Anything you
pick or choose that you want to do in life,
I'm there to support that.

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
That's right.

Speaker 14 (01:10:16):
I don't think that's a bad message.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
I agree.

Speaker 9 (01:10:19):
No, I got to give it to Lauren because Lauren,
I think you missed the whole point of back when
the TK Kirkland interview happened.

Speaker 5 (01:10:30):
He was trying to tell you.

Speaker 14 (01:10:31):
Like, you be coming up.

Speaker 9 (01:10:33):
With some stuff and you be throwing a lot of weed.

Speaker 14 (01:10:35):
Weed in the culture.

Speaker 9 (01:10:36):
Charlamagne said it like two days ago. You brought up something,
he was like, who wants to hear this? You were like,
we want to hear this. We don't want to hear
none of that teen pop stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:10:46):
Well, you one person. You can't speak for we either.
You and Charlamagne is weed? Yeah, we got the same person.
That don't mean nothing. Y'all, you making the same point.

Speaker 6 (01:10:57):
Why are you getting defensive?

Speaker 16 (01:10:59):
I can speak back to him the same way you do.

Speaker 7 (01:11:01):
But because she represent we.

Speaker 5 (01:11:02):
It don't make no sense.

Speaker 14 (01:11:04):
She cover everything.

Speaker 9 (01:11:05):
She cover everything when it got to do with Taylor Swift.

Speaker 14 (01:11:08):
But then when you listen.

Speaker 9 (01:11:09):
To other stations that should color Taylor Swift.

Speaker 14 (01:11:13):
They don't even cover it now.

Speaker 7 (01:11:14):
That's a lie.

Speaker 16 (01:11:15):
That is a lie. That's a lie.

Speaker 7 (01:11:18):
That is a lie.

Speaker 14 (01:11:20):
That is a lie.

Speaker 16 (01:11:21):
And they only supporting you because they need an ambassador
for the pod.

Speaker 6 (01:11:25):
He said it's the milk of magnesia news.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:11:28):
That is a lie.

Speaker 16 (01:11:30):
What's the last thing I covered? What's the last thing
I covered with Taylor Swift, sir?

Speaker 6 (01:11:35):
He just mean white stories in general.

Speaker 16 (01:11:37):
What's the last thing I covered with Taylor Swift? What's
the last white story I covered?

Speaker 14 (01:11:41):
There's so many positive things to cover.

Speaker 9 (01:11:44):
At least give us a week of straight positivity, not
one negative story of the culture whatsoever.

Speaker 14 (01:11:48):
Damn, a week?

Speaker 7 (01:11:49):
You tripping.

Speaker 3 (01:11:50):
Give us a week!

Speaker 16 (01:11:51):
We'll see.

Speaker 6 (01:11:52):
Stay tuned. Thank you, brother.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
Good morning, what's this?

Speaker 14 (01:11:54):
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:11:55):
This is Fidel.

Speaker 14 (01:11:56):
How y'all doing?

Speaker 7 (01:11:57):
What up, Fidel?

Speaker 6 (01:11:58):
Who you want to give the biggest hee-haw to?

Speaker 14 (01:12:00):
I'm going to give it to all terrorists ever.

Speaker 6 (01:12:03):
Damn.

Speaker 20 (01:12:03):
It may not even be because they may have thoughts
towards America or they may have a good reason. So
they like to hide in civilian territory and on the
low people that cannot defend themselves.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Yeah, I don't think there's ever a good reason to
kill a bunch of innocent people, man. Like, never. I've
never felt like that. I don't care if you're a
mass shooter, a terrorist. Like, don't take out your frustration
or your anger on innocent people.

Speaker 14 (01:12:30):
Yeah, I can't respect that, man.

Speaker 6 (01:12:31):
So, Dr.

Speaker 13 (01:12:32):
Adel, shout out to Jesse.

Speaker 6 (01:12:33):
He may see you this weekend. Jesse, he said he
may see you this weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:12:37):
That's what's up. Adel is in Maryland, man, so try
to come out if you can.

Speaker 6 (01:12:41):
Good morning. Who's this?

Good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:12:48):
What's up, my brother? Who you want to get the
biggest hee-haw to?

Speaker 18 (01:12:50):
I want to get the biggest hee-haw to my ex-girlfriend's
last name, Mama.

Speaker 6 (01:12:54):
Okay, what happened?

Speaker 14 (01:12:56):
All right, man.

Speaker 18 (01:12:56):
So it's been a series of things that happened in
the last two years, you know what I'm saying? I
moved to Florida about two, three years ago. First six
months was long. After that, it been hell, man. This
woman done put me through hell. I let her be
a stay-at-home mom, you know what I'm saying? I drive
big rigs, all that, take care of her, take care
of my kids. Even her kids, that's not.

Speaker 14 (01:13:15):
Mine, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 18 (01:13:17):
But she done do a lot, man. She put me
through the ringer and.
Every time we get into on her phone, and so
we break up so far, photo broke, break up, she
break up with him. Excuse my language, my bad, I
don't want to radio. But she go unblock this person
or unblock that person or whatever. Just want to give

(01:13:39):
her the biggest pee-haw, man.

Speaker 6 (01:13:40):
Absolutely.

Speaker 7 (01:13:41):
Damn, she petty.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
It is my hope that everybody out there with baby mama,
baby daddy drama issues, I really hope that y'all can reconcile, man.
If not for y'all, just for the sake of the kids, yo.
I hate to see these type of situations. And I
hate the, you know, baby daddies that don't take care
of their kids. And I hate the baby mothers that
keep the baby daddies away who.

Speaker 6 (01:14:01):
Want to take care of their kids. Right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
Good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:14:03):
Who's this?

Speaker 14 (01:14:04):
Yo, this is Gary.

Speaker 6 (01:14:06):
Yo, Gary, turn the radio or the TV.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
Down, Gary.

Speaker 14 (01:14:09):
I did.

Speaker 6 (01:14:11):
What's happening? Who you want to get the biggest hee-haw to?

Speaker 14 (01:14:14):
Man, the city of Allendale, man. They sleeping on the bus, man.
They been sleeping, bro.

Speaker 6 (01:14:20):
Sleeping how? What, you rap or something?

Speaker 14 (01:14:22):
Nah, I'm a book poppin'. I'm a book online every day.
What's up, Jack? What's up, baby?

Speaker 7 (01:14:27):
What's up, man?

Speaker 14 (01:14:28):
Yeah, he bought the book. Did you get a chance
to read it? Which one was it?

Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
He didn't read it. He bought it, though.

Speaker 14 (01:14:36):
I did that. Unarmed, 2032, and I was in the future.
I was talking about Trayvon Martin and all them.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:14:43):
Unarmed, 2032. I did order that. I ordered that.

Speaker 14 (01:14:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:14:46):
I did order Unarmed.

Speaker 14 (01:14:47):
You didn't get a chance to read it.

Speaker 6 (01:14:48):
No, I didn't get a chance to read it, Gary.
My fault. I didn't get a chance to read it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
But I did order it, though, because I just think
that is a... I'm all about alt history, man. I
got a lot of things I'm working on that are
about alt history. So I like this premise you got.

Speaker 14 (01:15:01):
Yeah, you got it right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Three of them.

Speaker 14 (01:15:03):
Unarmed 2032 was the first one. Unarmed 2 is the
Puppet Master. And Unarmed 3 is A World at War.
But all of those people died in ICE custody, all
of those things. All of that happened in real life.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
You know what I wanted to ask you? How is
AI going to play a role into your all future?
Because I know you saw, you know, recently all of
these AI whistleblowers saying that, you know, they feel like
AI could kill us within the next 10 years. And
I know that, you know, your book has like cyborgs
hunting down people.

Speaker 6 (01:15:35):
So what do you think of that?

Speaker 14 (01:15:36):
Yeah, I believe that as well. And I talk about
it in one of my other books. It's called The Insider,
Our End of Trust. That book right there, I talk
about where AIs take over, how they talk and communicate
amongst themselves. It was an article the other day where
the AI system, two different AI systems were talking to

(01:15:57):
each other.

Speaker 6 (01:15:59):
I saw that. And they created their own language and
they couldn't understand what they were saying.

Speaker 14 (01:16:03):
Right. If you sit there and take a look at it, Salome,
even way back with Tina Turner movies, Beyond Thunderdome, you
see how water was the biggest thing. Water was a
hot commodity. These AI systems are f * * *
ing up the oceans right now. They're f * * *
ing up so much water from the earth and people
are not even paying that no attention. But if you

(01:16:25):
look at those older movies... It shows a world where
we didn't have any water.

Speaker 6 (01:16:31):
Man, I don't like to talk too much.

Speaker 14 (01:16:33):
And I talk about all of that in my book.
I've been talking about this for years in my book.

Speaker 6 (01:16:36):
What's your Instagram, Gary?

Speaker 14 (01:16:38):
People have been telling me I was ahead of my time.
Even back in the days when I used to sell drugs,
they were like, man, you're ahead of your time. Man,
if you read these books, you're going to be like,
this man was talking about all of this stuff years ago.
And they say if you want to hide something from
black people, put it in the book. But I wasn't
trying to hide it. I was just trying to give
my people a heads up with what I was thinking

(01:16:58):
and what I was reading.

Speaker 6 (01:16:59):
That's right. You was ahead of your time. You was
selling perks when everybody else was still selling crack. Hey,
what's your Instagram, Gary? I need your Instagram, man.

Speaker 14 (01:17:05):
My Instagram is GaryTheAuthor. No, that's my TikTok my daughter
set up. My daughter Leigh-Anne. GaryTheAuthor. My TikTok is ConvictedConversation.

Speaker 6 (01:17:17):
No, what's your Instagram, man?

Speaker 14 (01:17:18):
ConvictedConversation.

Speaker 6 (01:17:20):
DM me real quick so I can follow you back, man.

Speaker 14 (01:17:22):

Eminence. Eminence.

Speaker 6 (01:17:57):
Yeah. Why Eminence? What's that mean?

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
Eminence means, you know, being the leader of everything. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:18:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
That's really what it means.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
So is it celebrating what you accomplished or just reminding
people who you are?

Speaker 27 (01:18:12):
Yeah, just reminding people who I am. word yeah and
what do i stand for really yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:18:18):
Yeah were you trying to top your other records or.

Speaker 27 (01:18:20):

hall and it is that, so now they're going to say,
but does that mean I'm the top of everybody in
my coaching?

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
I'm the eminence of dance hall.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
There we go.

Speaker 6 (01:18:59):
Blessings.

Speaker 7 (01:19:00):
He even got a nice little twang to it too.

Speaker 6 (01:19:02):
It's very regal.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
Eminence of dance hall. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
very much.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 27 (01:19:06):
So, yeah, you can't be like, doing the same thing
over and over and over and over. You got to
step up your game. So in this business, it's like
a staircase. So you have one staircase, one step up
to the top.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
That's the way it is.

Speaker 27 (01:19:22):
It's not me putting myself to the top. It's me
working towards being the top of the food chain.

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
I like the title because there's a difference between being
famous and being eminent. Like fame is just attention. Eminence
is like, Like you said, the respect you earned over time.

Speaker 3 (01:19:39):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (01:19:40):
Which one took you longer to understand?

Speaker 27 (01:19:45):
There's no longer to understand. I've been in this business
for 40 years. So I've been there, done that. I'm
still here doing it. So you know what I'm saying?
It just makes sense.

Speaker 5 (01:19:59):
Have you seen the resurgence of dancehall and reggae music
on radio? Because at one time, I was talking to somebody,
I think a couple weeks ago, We would hear tunes
on radio, right?

Speaker 6 (01:20:10):
Labor Day in.

Speaker 5 (01:20:11):
Brooklyn was one of the biggest parades ever. And it
seemed like it took a downfall for a little bit.
Are you starting to see it come back now?

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
No, I was there. You was there this year? I was, yeah.
I was in, yeah, I was there. Labor Day, I
was there. And a truck.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Sing it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
And people was.

Speaker 27 (01:20:29):
I couldn't see the other truck behind us. That's the
amount of people that was.

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
for learners.

Speaker 27 (01:20:34):
So, I wouldn't say you take a step back. I
think people just want to see it the right way
that it's supposed.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
To be like. You know?

Speaker 27 (01:20:43):
And, I think some people is not doing it like
how they're supposed to do it, like how it used
to be done.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
And, you know, evolution is a must. So, you know,
the music step up.

Speaker 27 (01:20:58):
So, I think people just want to see the originality
that I tend to see in music and all of that. And,
that's what i i gave to them and this album
trust me because i did some old school hip-hop i
did some old school dance art i did one of
my classic and this album and yeah it's it's really nice.

Speaker 5 (01:21:19):
Did money ruin it because it was a time where
artists wanted to be at those parades wanted to be
at those events and then I feel like it got
to a time where people were like, well, how much
are you going to give me to be at these events?
I remember there were times where you went to every parade.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:21:33):
Puerto Rican Day Parade, West Indian Parade.

Speaker 3 (01:21:35):
West Indian Parade. African American Day Parade.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:21:37):
You wanted to be seen and heard. And I felt
like for a lot, I think money kind of ruined it.

Speaker 27 (01:21:42):
I think what ruined it is because I lost my
visa for like 13 years. So if I did have it,
it wouldn't be like that. You'd have been in every parade. Yeah,
I'd be in every parade. See, then everybody will follow.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
You see? But right now, everybody thinking about the money.
The money.

Speaker 27 (01:22:00):
How much to make the chart? How much to pay
the sound system? How much the DJ get paid? How
much what get paid? So how much I'm going to
get paid? So, you see, when you make music all
about the business and no longer about music, I think
that's what messed it up. It's like some artists get
a one hit song, And forgot that we need to

(01:22:22):
go back to studio.

Speaker 3 (01:22:23):
To make another one. So, you know, I feel that's
what I miss it, really.

Speaker 5 (01:22:28):
Now, you know, this week is the 25th anniversary of 9-11.
Do you remember where you were when 9-11 hit?

Speaker 27 (01:22:33):
Were you here or were you in Jamaica? 9-11, I
actually left the tent. I was here in America, New York.
And I leave and went back to Jamaica. They let
the planes leave or you had to wait for a while?

Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
No, the tent.

Speaker 6 (01:22:49):
The day before.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
Oh, you left on the tent.

Speaker 6 (01:22:52):
Yeah, I left the tent.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
But I was watching, what's the name? Good Morning America.

Speaker 27 (01:22:59):
Yeah, because I think I had something coming on on
ABC in the morning. And I was waiting to see it.
Then it was supposed to come after the trading thing.
When they go to the train station. And then I
saw the plane.

Speaker 6 (01:23:20):
Boom.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
Okay, I'm not coming on TV today.

Speaker 27 (01:23:26):
And that was the day that I realized that the
world changed. And yeah, it wasn't a good day for nobody.
Trust me, it wasn't a good day.

Speaker 3 (01:23:37):
And when I saw that, I realized that the world changed.

Speaker 27 (01:23:42):
Because When a country like the United States gets attacked,
it's not an easy country to get attacked. It's not
something that you expect to happen. America do the attack.
America is the bullies. They go around and say something.
Just say one more thing. And then you see America
get attacked.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
It's like, hmm.

Speaker 27 (01:24:04):
And then you hear the cops died and the firemen died.
It wasn't a good thing. People started to jump off
the building, tapping all these things. It wasn't a good day.
It was just a sad day, and it's always sad.
Every time you remember that, you just felt like you
didn't want to be there on that day. We talked

(01:24:25):
about how it changed. We were telling Jess and Lauren
that before, there was no TSA.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
You'd walk to the.

Speaker 27 (01:24:32):
Gate, and you'd get on the plane. You'd get on
the plane. There was no check, and there was none
of it. Right now, there's checkpoints everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
That's me. I can't believe.

Speaker 6 (01:24:43):
We ever used to live like that.

Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
Yeah, it's crazy. Like, why?

Speaker 6 (01:24:48):
Why did we trust each other?

Speaker 16 (01:24:49):
And even, like, some of the things that you could
take on the plane, like cigarettes and lighters.

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
They take away them.

Speaker 16 (01:24:55):
Yeah, now they do.

Speaker 27 (01:24:56):
There's no lighter on the plane. You can't have a
cock screw. Nope, no cock screw.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
Nothing that you can use for a weapon.

Speaker 27 (01:25:04):
Yeah, you used to have a little knife that you
used to bring. We call them the Swiss knives. You
can't bring that on the plane.

Speaker 7 (01:25:11):
You used to be able to smoke on the plane.

Speaker 16 (01:25:12):
I did see pictures of that online.

Speaker 7 (01:25:14):
You used to be able to smoke on the plane.

Speaker 3 (01:25:16):
Australia on the plane.

Speaker 27 (01:25:17):
So you know that they used to smoke on the plane.
The Australian side, you'd go like... And you used to
smoke in the plane. But all that changed since 9-11.

Speaker 5 (01:25:27):
What does New York mean to you?

Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
New York means everything.

Speaker 27 (01:25:30):
Because, all right, you see, I think it's because the
second place I came when I left Jamaica. I left Jamaica,
I went to Canada. Then I came to New York.
And Brooklyn kind of changed me.

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Like, seriously.

Speaker 6 (01:25:49):
Seriously.

Speaker 27 (01:25:50):
Brooklyn kind of changed me because when you're in Brooklyn,
it's like you're in Jamaica. It's not Jamaica, Queens. Jamaica, Jamaica.
When you're in Brooklyn, it's mostly Jamaicans. And then you
see people that you know for a very long time
and you haven't seen them for a very long time.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
You wonder if they're dead or in prison. They're in Brooklyn.

Speaker 6 (01:26:16):
Dang. Yeah, so that is it.

Speaker 27 (01:26:21):
So, you know, I think I just love New York
because of New York itself and the vibes and the
vibration that it brings and the style.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
Of the people.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
I love Queens, too, and I love Bronx, and I
just love New York. What am I going to do?
I can't help myself about it. So if you.

Speaker 27 (01:26:40):
Want to chop my head off, I love it. Just
drop it in New York.

Speaker 5 (01:26:43):
Just drop it in New York. Let's get into a
joint off the album. What you want to hear?

Speaker 7 (01:26:48):
Marijuana and a coochie.

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
Coochie. Coochie.

Speaker 17 (01:26:55):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
It's marijuana and a coochie.

Speaker 6 (01:26:57):
Oh, so it's not coochie.

Speaker 7 (01:26:58):
No, it's not coochie.

Speaker 6 (01:26:59):
Oh, I thought it was coochie to a spell, coochie.

Speaker 3 (01:27:02):
Every time we.

Speaker 6 (01:27:02):
Said it, she was over there like, that's not what
it is. Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:27:05):
Marijuana and a koochie.

Speaker 3 (01:27:06):
I don't even know that. What's my song you talking about?

Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
That's why he was.

Speaker 7 (01:27:09):
Confused because he's like, I don't know who named him.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
Yeah, he's like, I don't know what that is.

Speaker 6 (01:27:13):
Marijuana and a koochie.

Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
Okay.

Speaker 16 (01:27:15):
Marijuana and a koochie.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:27:18):
Damn.

Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
I ain't gonna talk about burning.

Speaker 5 (01:27:21):
Oh, God.

Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
All right. Well, let's get into the joint. It's called
Marijuana and what? Cachi.

Speaker 17 (01:27:26):
Cachi.

Speaker 3 (01:27:27):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 6 (01:27:28):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (01:27:28):
Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious.

Speaker 5 (01:27:32):
Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRose
is here today. And let's get to pass the.

Speaker 20 (01:27:37):
Oh!

Speaker 6 (01:27:38):
Go, go, go.

Speaker 25 (01:27:39):
DJ, DJ, DJ.

Speaker 6 (01:27:40):
DJ, DJ, DJ.

Speaker 13 (01:27:49):
I know.

Speaker 14 (01:27:50):
NYLA.

Speaker 16 (01:27:51):
Young 1990 now.

Speaker 6 (01:27:53):
What's happening? Very fresh haircut.

Speaker 3 (01:27:56):
Very fresh costume. Every week is a different haircut.

Speaker 6 (01:28:01):
What are you going for?

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
I know.

Speaker 28 (01:28:03):
It's been three cuts in a month, but this is
the last cut.

Speaker 16 (01:28:06):
You didn't like the last one?

Speaker 21 (01:28:07):
I did like the last one, but it was just
a lot going on. As in, like, I go to
the gym every day. Then I got a flat iron.
The whole point of it was to grow my hair back.

Speaker 5 (01:28:15):
And have it healthy.

Speaker 16 (01:28:16):
I was about to say, this is big chop. Like,
start fresh.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
Yeah, but I just like the fact that it's a
big chop, but it ain't no emotions attached to it.

Speaker 6 (01:28:22):
You know what I'm saying? Like, you're not in no deep,
dark depression or anything.

Speaker 16 (01:28:25):
Okay, yes.

Speaker 7 (01:28:25):
Okay?

Speaker 20 (01:28:26):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (01:28:26):
That's what I appreciate.

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
Did he ask or he knows that you're not? He knows. Okay,
all right. You know.

Speaker 6 (01:28:30):
You gonna dye the eyebrows, too? I did.

Speaker 7 (01:28:32):
That'd be chic.

Speaker 6 (01:28:33):
They're not the same color.

Speaker 28 (01:28:34):
They're lighter.

Speaker 21 (01:28:35):
I felt it in with a brown pencil, but yeah,
at first my hair was like black, black, like dark black.
So I was like, yeah, do you mind toning those
down a little bit? But she did a really good job.
Shout out to Elisa at The Way. She actually got
my hair nominated for Best Braid Technique Style at like
some really big conventions.

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
Really?

Speaker 6 (01:28:52):
Yeah. You look like a little young auntie though.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
Like a little.

Speaker 6 (01:28:54):
Wow. Yeah, I would still call you though because you
look like you're trying to look older.

Speaker 16 (01:28:57):
Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 13 (01:28:58):
Young auntie though?

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Why you gotta... It.

Speaker 6 (01:29:01):
Looks like you're trying.

Speaker 16 (01:29:03):
To look older.

Speaker 6 (01:29:04):
Yes.

Speaker 16 (01:29:05):
When you do your lip liner and stuff, it's going
to give the eve. It's going to give all the things. Healthy, auntie, though.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
Healthy, holistic auntie. Not drunk, you know, black live auntie
like some people in the room.

Speaker 28 (01:29:14):
I don't even want auntie to be a negative connotation.

Speaker 3 (01:29:17):
It's not.

Speaker 7 (01:29:18):
I love auntie.

Speaker 16 (01:29:18):
But when you say auntie, it's giving negative connotation. Yes,
because it comes from that you are, he's that auntie.

Speaker 3 (01:29:23):
Y'all can take it as that, but it don't have
to be that. It's not.

Speaker 28 (01:29:25):
Envy, be for real.

Speaker 16 (01:29:26):
He be trying to be negative.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 28 (01:29:28):
If someone calls Madison auntie.

Speaker 16 (01:29:31):
You won't be alive.

Speaker 6 (01:29:33):
Madison's 22, 24 years old.

Speaker 28 (01:29:34):
Oh, so auntie is based off ageism?

Speaker 17 (01:29:37):
Yes!

Speaker 2 (01:29:37):
Ageism right now?

Speaker 14 (01:29:38):
That's right, Nyla.

Speaker 6 (01:29:40):
Ageism, go ahead.

Speaker 14 (01:29:40):
30 is not.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
Y'all are aunties.

Speaker 6 (01:29:45):
You know what? 30 plus year old aunties.

Speaker 16 (01:29:47):
I'm here to talk about music.

Speaker 6 (01:29:49):
You know what?

Speaker 16 (01:29:49):
That's crazy because when a woman comes in the room,
they got to talk about your age. For no reason.

Speaker 6 (01:29:53):
They didn't see Gal Bean's clip.

Speaker 14 (01:29:55):
Yes.

Speaker 16 (01:29:55):
We're tired of that.

Speaker 6 (01:29:56):
I don't know who the hell Gal Bean is.

Speaker 16 (01:29:57):
Yes, you do. You know Gal Bean is from Snowfall.
You don't do that to her.

Speaker 28 (01:30:00):
Oh, you didn't watch Snowfall.

Speaker 16 (01:30:02):
You know Gal Bean.

Speaker 6 (01:30:03):
Gal Bean's really dope.

Speaker 28 (01:30:04):
You actually need to have her on here.

Speaker 6 (01:30:05):
They just did a.

Speaker 28 (01:30:06):
Spin-off on her show.

Speaker 16 (01:30:07):
You know who Gal Bean is.

Speaker 5 (01:30:08):
You know when we talk about I used to dye
my hair when I was in college?

Speaker 28 (01:30:11):
Don't act like it was just a contest.

Speaker 3 (01:30:12):
It was that color. Salute to Shalazar. I used to
dye my hair that color.

Speaker 5 (01:30:15):
When Q did it?

Speaker 6 (01:30:16):
When you sat between Q's legs?

Speaker 3 (01:30:17):
Shalazar and Q.

Speaker 6 (01:30:18):
Drop one of Q's balls with big Q. I never
sat between Q's legs. Q died your hair. Between Q's legs.

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
Salute to Q the stylist.

Speaker 6 (01:30:25):
The legendary Q. Don't play with Q. Salute to Q.
You sat between.

Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
Q's legs and he died your hair.

Speaker 5 (01:30:30):
I used to have it that color.

Speaker 21 (01:30:31):
Wait, is Q the guy who the story that they
told you about when you lived in Jersey?

Speaker 7 (01:30:35):
Oh, no.

Speaker 16 (01:30:35):
That's not when.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
No, that wasn't. How many guys is it?

Speaker 13 (01:30:39):
If it's Jesus.

Speaker 3 (01:30:41):
Even outside.

Speaker 6 (01:30:43):
Even outside.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
You know what?

Speaker 16 (01:30:45):
God bless you.

Speaker 7 (01:30:46):
I'm proud of you.

Speaker 6 (01:30:47):
That booty a little party pack. That booty is for
community use.

Speaker 3 (01:30:51):
Salute to Q. Salute to Salazar.

Speaker 6 (01:30:53):
Yes, and salute to the way to lunch.

Speaker 5 (01:30:54):
And I would down my eyebrows too.

Speaker 16 (01:30:56):
See, you have to.

Speaker 6 (01:30:57):
It was stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
I don't know why I did that stupidness.

Speaker 6 (01:30:58):
All right, let's get to the music.

Speaker 16 (01:30:59):
All right, let's do it.

Speaker 6 (01:31:01):
I was.

Speaker 21 (01:31:01):
All right, so I'm going to start with a very
New York vibe record. This is J1 and TJ Brown,
and the record is called Home Run.

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
I like it. I'm not mad at it.

Speaker 5 (01:31:09):
Play off a knock yourself out.

Speaker 6 (01:31:10):
I'm not mad at it. Yeah, it's cool.

Speaker 16 (01:31:12):
The video is cute too.

Speaker 28 (01:31:13):
Shout out to my girl Connie on that one.

Speaker 20 (01:31:15):
Next.

Speaker 21 (01:31:16):
I think you're really going to like this record. It's
Little Boss and Trap Dickie. They got a song coming
out with Far.

Speaker 6 (01:31:21):
Not Big South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (01:31:22):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:31:22):
Okay.

Speaker 21 (01:31:23):
This is a Big Carolina record. And it is called
I'm the Man.

Speaker 6 (01:31:29):
North Charleston, South Carolina. Hartsville, South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
Don't play with us.

Speaker 6 (01:31:33):
Okay? Drop one of Clues Bond for Little Boss and
Trap Dickie.

Speaker 28 (01:31:36):
I know that Lauren about South Carolina.

Speaker 6 (01:31:38):
You already know.

Speaker 14 (01:31:41):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
Okay, that's fire right there.

Speaker 16 (01:31:43):
I figured you was going to love that one.

Speaker 6 (01:31:46):
I like that. I just like to see them collaborating.
That's dope. Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 28 (01:31:49):
Shout out to Ferrari for putting it together, you know,
from our sister station.

Speaker 5 (01:31:52):
Oh, I didn't know.

Speaker 16 (01:31:53):
He, I guess, what you call it, A & R- ing or, like,
he does a lot of that with new artists, like,
bringing them over. Yes, I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
That, though.

Speaker 5 (01:32:01):
You know, Ferrari worked under Ray Daniels. That's how he
got to start an industry.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
I did.

Speaker 6 (01:32:04):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
I want everybody from South Carolina to be collaborating.

Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (01:32:08):
Yeah. I connected Suave and.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
Lil Boss as well. I want to see them do
something together. I want to see Suave and Trap Dickie
do something together. All of them talented brothers from that
area will be working together.

Speaker 6 (01:32:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:32:18):
You know, I got a record, something like that, coming
out on my project.

Speaker 6 (01:32:21):
You sure do. Period.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
I do, I do.

Speaker 6 (01:32:23):
That's actually one of my favorite records on your album.

Speaker 28 (01:32:25):
You said that about the other, you said that about
Need You.

Speaker 6 (01:32:28):
I love that record. You talking about the record with
Trav Dickey and Larize and all that?

Speaker 7 (01:32:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:32:32):
Yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:32:32):
Oh, you just giving out the whole track on it anyway.
All right, so the last one is a more like.

Speaker 16 (01:32:37):
R & B girl or R & B record.

Speaker 28 (01:32:39):
It's featuring Leia and this girl named Kali Sway who's
from Toronto. But what I like about it.

Speaker 21 (01:32:43):
Is both of these girls give me, like, Missy. Like,
they sing, but the duality is just dope. The record
is called I Like It.

Speaker 6 (01:32:51):
That drum hit.

Speaker 16 (01:32:53):
It's so compact. Now you're hitting it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
I love it.

Speaker 16 (01:32:57):
So the singing part of it that we just listened to,
so who was rapping, who was singing? I think Callie's
way does both.

Speaker 21 (01:33:03):
She raps and she sings. But you know, Leia's also
a singer too. And I think they both kind of
dabble in both.

Speaker 7 (01:33:09):
That's tough.

Speaker 3 (01:33:09):
I like it.

Speaker 7 (01:33:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:33:10):
So they're fire.

Speaker 28 (01:33:11):
Make sure you guys check them out.

Speaker 21 (01:33:12):
And if you guys like those joints, make sure you
guys follow me on Instagram at Nyla Simone. Make sure
you guys stream Need You out right now featuring Ruben Vincent, Suave,
and Ben Reilly.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
And make sure you scream R2-D2. Okay, that's Nyla's other record.
Nyla got a whole album coming out this fall. And
she's already put out two songs, R2-D2 and Need You.

Speaker 4 (01:33:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:33:30):
Congratulations. Yes.

Speaker 16 (01:33:31):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:31):
I think if you're a DJ, you should be playing
both those records just because DJs should be supporting other DJs.

Speaker 6 (01:33:37):
Because when was the last time a DJ put out
an album? Like, you know, we come from there.

Speaker 5 (01:33:40):
It was the last time, years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:33:42):
We don't count Khaled no more. Khaled's a whole big artist.
I get what you're saying, but I'm talking about like.

Speaker 16 (01:33:46):
But Khaled did it right. That's what I'm trying to do.

Speaker 28 (01:33:48):
Khaled did it right.

Speaker 5 (01:33:49):
What do you mean, Khaled did it right?

Speaker 16 (01:33:49):
Like, career-wise? Yeah, he was a radio DJ.

Speaker 7 (01:33:51):
He started slow.

Speaker 3 (01:33:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He started slow.

Speaker 6 (01:33:53):
Yeah, he started independent. I still count, like, the dramas
as a DJ. Like, I still see drama outside music. DJing,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
I see what you mean. I remember when Greg Street
put out an album, you know what I mean? I
remember when K Slay, God bless his dad, was putting
out albums. I love to see people from radio and
then DJs putting out actual projects, and now I got
one coming, so everybody should be supporting that.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
Absolutely.

Speaker 28 (01:34:14):
Yeah, appreciate it, guys.

Speaker 6 (01:34:15):
All right, well, let's get to the mix. That means you,
Louis B, put Need You in rotation.

Speaker 7 (01:34:19):
Yeah, Louis V.

Speaker 6 (01:34:20):
All the DJs and program directors around the world. That's
kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:34:24):
If you're not supporting Nyla Simone. And Nyla Simone is
on your radio station all the time.

Speaker 10 (01:34:28):
Well.

Speaker 6 (01:34:29):
Is Power 105 playing yet?

Speaker 24 (01:34:31):
No.

Speaker 10 (01:34:31):
Well.

Speaker 6 (01:34:32):
Stop.

Speaker 14 (01:34:33):
Man.

Speaker 27 (01:34:33):
Come on.

Speaker 28 (01:34:34):
I thought we was wrapping the segment.

Speaker 6 (01:34:35):
What are we doing?

Speaker 3 (01:34:36):
All right.

Speaker 14 (01:34:37):
All right.

Speaker 16 (01:34:38):
You love a reason to yell.

Speaker 3 (01:34:39):
What are we doing? He not lying, though.

Speaker 6 (01:34:43):
What a week.

Speaker 3 (01:34:44):
Come on, guys. Let's get to the mix. I got you.

Speaker 6 (01:34:46):
Thank you, Envy.

Speaker 16 (01:34:47):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:34:48):
I always got it, though.

Speaker 6 (01:34:49):
I always play her records.

Speaker 16 (01:34:50):
I'm just saying. I just like the energy.

Speaker 6 (01:34:51):
The DJs up here.

Speaker 16 (01:34:52):
It's that easy.

Speaker 6 (01:34:53):
The DJs up here.

Speaker 28 (01:34:54):
Are playing her records.

Speaker 16 (01:34:56):
It's literally that easy.

Speaker 5 (01:34:57):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
I really support DJs.

Speaker 6 (01:34:59):
I go over and beyond for my DJs.

Speaker 16 (01:35:00):
I think a lot of times people feel like radio
is so hard. When you new and you moving and
you doing what I'm doing, that's why they be like,
Don't nobody listen to the radio because it's such a
barrier and it shouldn't be.

Speaker 5 (01:35:11):
Nah, it is hard and it should be hard.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
Yeah, but when you make good music, But if it's.

Speaker 16 (01:35:14):
Good, it's good, you support, absolutely. Yes, that's what I mean.

Speaker 21 (01:35:17):
I will say, this station's DJs have supported me.

Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
Shout out to DJs, shout out.

Speaker 21 (01:35:22):
Shout out to Clue, shout out to Self, shout out
to Envy, and shout out to Steph Cakes.

Speaker 6 (01:35:27):
Salute to Steph K.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
That's it. All right. Let's get to the mix.

Speaker 6 (01:35:29):
It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
Good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:35:30):
Good morning, everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:35:31):
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

Speaker 3 (01:35:34):
We are the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (01:35:35):
Now, salute to Kai Cash and Beattie Man for joining
us today.

Speaker 1 (01:35:38):
Man, salute to the good brother, Kai Cash. Bar's Not
Dead is out right now. Kai Cash is one of
my favorite young rappers. I was talking about this a
little while ago when it.

Speaker 6 (01:35:47):
Comes to this young generation.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
There's a lot of really, really, really dope lyricists who
not getting the cosigns that previous generations got. That's why
I think they not where they supposed to be yet.

Speaker 6 (01:36:01):
Because you think about it, right?

Speaker 1 (01:36:03):
Even if you go back to the previous generation, Drake
had a cosign from Lil Wayne. Nicki had a cosign
from Lil Wayne. Cole had a cosign from Jay-Z. Kendrick
had a cosign from Dr.

Speaker 6 (01:36:14):
Dre. Big Sean had a cosign from Kanye. Cudi had
a co-sign for Kanye.

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
Like, all of these different people that became the folks
of that generation had co-signs from people who came before them.

Speaker 6 (01:36:26):
That generation ain't paying it forward. I mean, don't get
me wrong. Kendrick co-signed, like, a Baby Keem or Cole
had Dreamville. J.

Speaker 5 (01:36:34):
Cole did, too, and Irving.

Speaker 6 (01:36:36):
And all them. But somebody needs to be putting a
stamp on this new wave of artists.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 7 (01:36:42):
I like Car Cash. She dope.

Speaker 5 (01:36:43):
Car Cash gets busy.

Speaker 6 (01:36:44):
Salute to Car Cash. Super dope. Morning, everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:36:46):
It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

Speaker 3 (01:36:50):
We are The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 5 (01:36:51):
Now, Jess, you and B-Mall all weekend?

Speaker 7 (01:36:52):
Yep, all weekend, man. Homecoming shows. I can't wait to
get there tonight, y'all. Y'all going to have me tired
as hell Monday at work, but it's all right. So,
Baltimore Comedy Factory all weekend. We had one show last night.
We got two tonight, two this Saturday, and one Sunday.
I also got a book signing for my book, Till
Death Do We Parent. and Ellicott City at the Barnes &
Noble's on Montgomery Avenue. So get your tickets for that.

(01:37:14):
You can get the tickets for the meet and greet
and the shows. Actually, no, I think Saturday is sold out.
Sunday is the only shows available. The only shows left.
I'm sorry. Sunday. So get your tickets. Baltimore. JazzaHilariousOfficial.com.

Speaker 2 (01:37:30):
All right.

Speaker 5 (01:37:30):
And don't forget, today marks the 25th anniversary of 9-11.
If you're coming on to Manhattan or you're around New
York City, give yourself a lot of extra time. There's
a lot of police activity. I know under Canal Street
and below is pretty much locked down because of the
ceremonies today. Also, they're saying there's going to be just
extra police around just in case. So, like I said,
give yourself a little extra time. And condolences to anybody

(01:37:53):
that lost friends, family members, still dealing with the 9-11 aftermath. So,
just want to say we will continue to pray and
send condolences.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
To you guys.

Speaker 6 (01:38:03):
I was also thinking, do we call this an anniversary?

Speaker 7 (01:38:06):
Yeah, it's like, it just seemed like we celebrating.

Speaker 20 (01:38:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:38:09):
Because even when you look up the Merriam-Webster's definition of anniversary,
it says an important or special event from the past
are the celebration of the day.

Speaker 6 (01:38:19):
The day is important.

Speaker 3 (01:38:22):
It is important.

Speaker 6 (01:38:22):
For all the wrong reasons. It's not special. I wouldn't
call it special. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:38:30):
I think you're right. I feel you. It's like this
is not a celebratory moment. We can celebrate the lives
of all the people that were lost.

Speaker 5 (01:38:38):
You celebrate the lives of the people that were lost
and the family members.

Speaker 7 (01:38:41):
It's a heavy emotion behind it though. It's a heavy day.

Speaker 6 (01:38:44):
You could call it a memorial anniversary. Memorial anniversary. That's
a day to remember a sad or tragic event, or
the death of someone. It's probably a memorial anniversary. Memorial
historical anniversary. There you go. Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:38:55):
Well, you got a positive note.

Speaker 4 (01:38:57):
I do.

Speaker 6 (01:38:57):
The positive note is simply this, man. There is no
version of your life where everyone is happy with your choices.
It doesn't exist. Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:39:04):
Someone will always be disappointed. Might as well disappoint them
while doing what's right for you. Have a great day.

Speaker 6 (01:39:11):
Breakfast Club, bitches! You all finished or you all done?

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
Woke up.

Speaker 3 (01:39:14):
Woke up.

Speaker 2 (01:39:15):
Wake you up.

Speaker 3 (01:39:16):
Wake that ass up.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
Program your alarm to Power 105.1 on iHeartRadio.
