Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's topic times.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
The phone called eight hundred and five eight five one
five one to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Talk about it morning.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Everybody's DJ n V. CHARLAMAGNEA God.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
We are the Breakfast Club, Jesse Larry is he hey
now if you just join us. We were talking about
Fat Joe. He was turning yesterday for something he said
on his live about Uh. I guess people that still
want to be rappers at you know, older ages.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
Yeah, your man says he's back and he doesn't have
a deal. Meanie, not a dollar coming in, not a show,
not nothing going on.

Speaker 6 (00:42):
There is a problem.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
It's called in the jaw hope you made. This has
never changed. Some guys be.

Speaker 7 (00:52):
Like, yo, I gotta get a regular jaw bro.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
You gotta get jaw and you got kids, and you
got this girl. They got apartment and got it off
every day. You got to pay some bills in the
dollar in the dream that balked could have struck.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
You just said nothing wrong, absolutely positively right now, you
said nothing wrong. In my first book, Black Privilege, the
New York Times bestseller Black Privilege, I have a chapter
called f your Dreams when they are not your dream
because a lot of times, especially when you've black, the
things you gravitate towards the entertainment and sports, but those
aren't the things we should actually be doing. We're just
doing it because we see them working for somebody else.
So what I tell people is either quit and find

(01:34):
something else to do, or understand it's one hundred and
sixty eight hours in a week.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
That's more than enough time to deal with.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Your reality by getting the job, and you got time
to go chase your dreams.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I think that the problem with this society is is
people feel like getting a job is bad. Yeah, to
studying a job is wrong. And I think that's the
dumbest and stupidest thing I've ever heard. Yes, you could
be a rap that rapper, you could be a producer.
There's so many different things that people could be out there, entrepreneurs,
and there's nothing wrong with having a job until that
that goal that you want or that dream that you
want takes off. There's nothing wrong with it. There's been

(02:04):
many people. I mean, even if you look at some
of your successful rappers, right you look at metha Man.
We see the story with metha Man worked on the
Staten Island Ferry and until.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
He got his rap career. Rough we see people that
worked at all kid cut.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
He worked at the clothing store downtown in the village
until his rap career took off.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Also worked until they got their stuff together.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
And also to people be shaming y'all, some of y'all
be trying thinking y'all shaming job y'all actually shaming careers. Yeah,
you know what I mean, because y'all y'all be trying
to clown people for having a career that pays them
hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I mean, so what are you talking about?

Speaker 6 (02:35):
It is the worst thing ever.

Speaker 8 (02:36):
I mean, I actually have even with being an influenza
like I had to. I worked like I was working
making videos. I got fired from jobs making videos, you
know what I mean, then go to another job and
until I got on wild'n Out and then and then I.

Speaker 6 (02:50):
Had to quit.

Speaker 9 (02:50):
But I just.

Speaker 8 (02:53):
Nah, I went to school for that, but I ain't
quite make it to the more attician side.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
He mean, I just went in there.

Speaker 8 (02:59):
It was like, oh, hey, I want to be a moretician.
Never went that way, but I was working with kids.
I was a PRP counselor and I, you know, and
then also a receptionist at working with kids at this
office or whatever, making videos and I and when I
went to wilding out, that's when I quit and they
cut my food stamps.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Hold on, now I didn't notice right before a while
and now you was working at as a receptionist.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, I did not know that.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, once you start doing standup like five
years ago, six years.

Speaker 8 (03:23):

doing I started stand up way later after doing videos
like I'm been doing stand up maybe six years now.

Speaker 6 (03:33):

Joe said about you know, people.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Chasing their dreams. This is what he said.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
If your man says he raps and he doesn't have
a deal, meaning not a dollar coming in, not a show,
not nothing going on there, there's a problem with that.
It's called plan it. Get a job, plan B. Hope

Kids and you got this girl, they got an apartment

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Morning.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Everybody's theej Envy charlamagnea god. We are the Breakfast Club.
Now if you just joined us, we're talking about a
statement in fat Joe made and this is what he said.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
If your man says he rap and he doesn't have
a deal.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Meaning not a dollar coming in.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Not a show, not nothing going on there, there's a
problem with that. It's called plan A, get a job,
Plan B. Hope you make it. This has never changed.
Some guys be like, yo, I gotta get a regular job.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Bro, you gotta get a job.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
If you got kids and you got this girl, they
got an apartment and y'all sexing it up every day.
You got to pay some bills and a dollar and
the dream that buck it bought the bottle could have
struck the lotto.

Speaker 9 (09:38):
Nah.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
No one lie was told in order in order to
properly chase your dreams. You got to deal with your reality.
And there's a there's one hundred and sixty eight hours
in a week. Even if you work forty hours a week, right,
you still got one hundred and twenty eight hours to
do everything else you want to do. So you're dealing
with your reality. But you still got more than enough time.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
To chase your dreams with ours, did y'all see acrimony?

Speaker 8 (10:03):
Acrimony is a solid parme movie with Taraji pins And
she had a husband and he had a dream to
like create some big thing like the pursuit of happiness.
Member he was trying to make that thing or whatever,
but he had a battery. He was trying to create
a battery, and it took him years and years and years,
and he kept using all hard money to do it,
like he was like taking advantage of him, but he
still loved or whatever, like you know. And she had
she had got money from my mother died, and he

(10:23):
cleaned out her whole bank account and then he ended
up She ended up leaving him, so his dream hit
as soon as she left him good and then he
ended up with somebody else, that's right, and wow, Okay,
so he she stuck by him until this dream, but
he would not get a job.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
That's the thingire so God became.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
But he even paid up, He paid up back for everything,
but she was left there like damn, Yo, I I
really put you through all, Like I helped you my
finance from my mother died, Like I put up my house.
I'm not even able to have kids because you know,
that was some other stuff in the marriage to happen.
But like, yo, and now you're you're this billionaire, you're married,
your dream took ten years to pop off, and you're

(11:08):
out there reaping all this.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
You know, you gave up on me. I didn't give
up on myself.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
So being that you gave up on me, I'm gonna
give you back everything you put in. But I'm going
to live my life because I need people that's going
to be with me all the way through.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
She didn't see it all the way through.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Wow, I don't know necessari ways. Looking at that, I
would say that you.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
I don't agree with him.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
I think I think everybody out there needs dreams, whatever
that dream is it. Sometimes your dreams can change, and
I think that's what keeps people alive. And I think
that's what keeps the energy flowing. Like for me, you know,
you have a dream of being a DJ, then the
dream of being on radio, then the dream of being
on an album, and then the car show became a dream,
and this became a dream. But now my dreams are
my kids like me and I seeing my kids successful,

(11:47):
making sure that you know, when they graduate college, I'm
able to you know, make sure teach them how to
purchase their first home.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
And those are my dreams.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Now.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Dreams never change.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
And that's why even when it comes to entertainment, That's
why I always tell people, man, make sure that's what
it is you want to do, because a lot of
times people only chase entertainment because they see it working
for other people. That everybody want to wrap. Everybody got
a podcast. You know what I'm saying, But what is
it you're here to actually do?

Speaker 6 (12:13):
But that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
That's why in your book I think is wrong because
it's not If your dream is f somebody else's dream,
it ain't your dream to begin with.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
That's what you.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Dream, if your dream, if it's not your dream, Because
a lot of times we see things working for somebody else,
like I might people might look at Jess and be like,
I want to be a stand up comic. Correct, that's
not your dream. That's not what you're here to do.
That's what Jess is here to do. They might look
at us and say they want to be radio personality. No,
that's not what you're here to do. You might hear it.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Do something else, you know, find out what you're here
to do.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Hello, who's this?

Speaker 7 (12:48):
My name Isiah Philly. Besides, I think you you should
never give up on your dream, but you just got
to take care of your life, your dream, hearing yourself
from living life and growing. And I think that's when
you gotta start flipping lane put on the back burner
at your time, you know, out there playing and use

(13:09):
whatever you're making money nine to five to provide for
your dream. And eventually I'm gonna take over. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, Because if you don't do what your reality, your
dream will become a nightmare. Dreams a nightmare is Philly.
You see what I just did.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
And what's going on?

Speaker 11 (13:27):
Man, it's baby and I go by DJ Sable.

Speaker 9 (13:31):

fat Joe.

Speaker 10 (13:35):

and I moved down to Florida be a full time DJ.
It didn't work out the way I wanted to told job.

Speaker 9 (13:46):
Yeah, I got a job driving money through.

Speaker 10 (13:49):
Friday and our DJ whenever I get a gig.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
That's right, That's that's what you should be supposed to
be doing.

of y'all need to give up on wrap. Yo, we

Speaker 2 (14:57):

The world heard blow your whistle, you know, and when

Speaker 2 (15:28):
If you just heard too, if you just got up

Speaker 9 (16:13):
Come on there.

Speaker 10 (16:13):
I'll be like God really been working on me.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
He know.

Speaker 10 (16:16):
I'm a stever. I pray for all my savages who
dancing with the tevil. I ain't even try to read
the Bible until I went to jail. Watch who you
keep coasting you? If they hate on you, they'll tell
who lifts. Don't got names on them until somebody did.
I'm all over the city now. Don't ask me where
I said. I know what come with the game, and
I ain't even gonna play that. I went and got
my own. When they speak on me, they don't say
that I almost killed one of my partners. Me and

(16:38):
him go way back. The best feeling that is getting
money is getting paid back. I'm sliding in the old
where if I treated like a may back. I'm tired
of thugging. I even put away my ski mask. I'm
tired of hustling, but I won't stop. I can't be
down back to people who rather see me that way.
That'll make him real happy as long as I keep.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Oh, I'm gonna tell you something, man, God, I just
told me to tell you that you should go in
the ministry. You should be a pastor. I'm not even joking.
God wants you to be into the church, yes, sir, No,
for real, He wants you to be into the church.
You should go get your soul right. And you have
an annoying on you to be a pastor. Go be
a pastor.

Speaker 9 (17:11):
Brother.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
What's your rap name?

Speaker 5 (17:12):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
My rap name?

Speaker 9 (17:14):
Three v.

Speaker 10 (17:15):
Three and not too long ago got baptized.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
That's what I'm saying. There's a verse that for verse
three B three. Okay, there's a verse three in the Bible.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I don't know which one, but there's a verse three
in the Bible that applies to you. That's gonna tell
you to walk away from rap and go into the ministry. Man,
God wants you to be a pastor, I'm telling you.

Speaker 8 (17:34):
But he can get that. But but you know what
he can get. He can use rap to get the
young guys in the church.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
I doubt it. God did tell me that God to
be a pastor. That's what God said. God said that brother,
needs to be a pastor. And you just heard him
say he got baptized. I don't know, Yeah, got baptized.

Speaker 6 (17:52):
Of all the people in here.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
God just told you that.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Just be talking to me. He told you lost the
Lord just camera, man, he did.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
God told me to tell that brother to be a
path and that brother just got baptized. And I didn't
even know that. What's the mall the story?

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Man?

Speaker 2 (18:09):
The moral of the story is your dreams if they're
not your dream and don't and don't and don't give
up on your dreams. But you got to deal with
your reality. And don't give up on your dreams unless
your dreams are a rap. Why do we keep it
