not gonna try to try to blend in on here man.

Speaker 9 (10:36):
With the video, I'm already tapped into coaches. I'm sure
I already knew who Drewsky was.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, yeah, someone somewhat. That dude.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
He's very hip and he knows what's going on. He
was reciting lyrics and stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, I don't know what that guy.

Speaker 9 (10:50):
And it worked for you because I mean, you know,
you still ended up getting a viral moment. Yeah, you know,
and it was funny. Yeah yeah, yeah, So the pr
I ended up working. It was like reverse of they
were supposed to do. I think we were supposed to
be on there talking about me going to the White
House or yeah, dogs and.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
The White Man. Yeah, I went like, a year ago,
you had a dog. No, I don't know why they
had me talking you don't really know much. I guess
the secret service dog had been somebody multiple dog beat
a bunch of secret service. Yeah, but they're not putting
it down, so it's like, uh. And then when I
said that, he looked at me like what would you? Yeah,
So let's just move on to I want them to

(11:28):
talk about what they had to talk about, because I
was like, hey, the subject, you'll have me.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
I don't even want to talk about that. I'll just
keep doing.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
But you think the dog should be killed?

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Put I like how he tried to make it sound
he hates dogs.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
How many How many people did the dog white?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
It was a lot.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Yeah, I think you want anybody else's dog. They to
put your dog down. But it was like secure secret
service the first day to put a muzzle on, the minute,
to put that dog down.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
If it was a black dog, pit bull. Yeah, it
was the first bike, damn and not twenty twenty four
is come on now?

Speaker 11 (12:04):
So you got a new show could have been out.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's an amazing show.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
It's based on I was influenced by P Diddy and
when he had to making the band show, I sway like, yeah, no,
that's bro. See that's why I can't look this way.
And that's what I said. That's a lot, he said,
because he didn't making the band. You know we were

(12:30):
watching that, you know the Yeah they Yeah, I wasn't
watching making the band. We was watching making the band.
So yeah, it played a big part. And I really
wanted to do something based it's too much space between
I said.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
What he did? It was it was that question. Yeah,
I like, you gotta get to that quick. I need
to say making the band first.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
There you go fluenced by making the band the show
and yeah, nah, it's it's a mazing Sure. It's pretty
much like a comedic version of that, kind of like
how Chappelle did when he did like a.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Skit on making the band back in the day.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
But yeah, they we had We had contestants staying there
for seven days. They competed for fifty thousand dollars and
you come out of pocket to do that stuff, right
heh yeah yeah man. But you know, now we had
companies help us. We had Raising Canes put up the
fifty thousand for the contestants to win.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah sure, and we had like Nike.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Nike participated in putting in some money, prize picks, Ice Box,
Jewelry putting some money too as well.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah nice. Nice.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
So why so, I mean, I see you're putting it
out on YouTube and some people would ask why, But
if you're getting your own sponsors and you're making your
own money, like why chase behind these networks in your
screaming service?

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Yeah kind of because it's like, uh, they we tried
to pitch it to all these big networks anyway, and
nobody believed it.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
They were like, yo, what it is? Could have been records?

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, there's a lot of you know them older executives
that don't really know, they're not really hit and they
just like, we heard this guy is funny, but we
don't know what the hell could have been records is?

Speaker 2 (14:08):
You know?

Speaker 4 (14:08):
So every time I tried to explain it, nobody understood
what I was talking about. So I'm like, damn, we
probably gonna have to do this ourselves. We went to
every meeting. I'm talking, I'm taking zooms. It's taking an hour.
I'm explaining it for like an hour, breaking it down.
We got a power point. I'm pointing that stuff. I'm
making them laugh. So I'm like, oh, we got this.
Nobody believe. They all like, nah, we'll pass, We'll pass.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
That's one of your most popular sketches.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, I know, that's how we got proof of concept.
I'm like this doing views. We get millions of views.
But you know, they, you know they you know what
happened with the show with you, Kevin Hark Oh man,
they took that off.

Speaker 8 (14:42):
Man.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
We uh, we were supposed to do that, right a strike,
right a strike. So during writer a Strike. They took
that down. They just they just got rid of it.
I don't know, I don't know what the real real
reason was, but uh yeah it was a show based
on like like past high school being like a high
school senior, and uh yeah I came on talked about
it with you. But yeah, they I really don't know

(15:02):
the full reason, but they took that off.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Man, I don't know. Yeah, low key pissed me off
a little bit.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
But yeah, this just because you know, I don't I
really don't know the full writer shrike reason, you know
what I'm saying. So, and I feel like nobody fully
knew exactly what was going on with writer striking all that,
so I think, yeah, they might have used that as
an excuse.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
I really don't know. But yeah, we we had everything rolling.

Speaker 9 (15:26):
But you know, I think about you with sketch, right,
and I think about you know, I was born in
nineteen hundred and seventy eight, so I've seen a lot
of great sketch shows in living color chapel.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Shows get gassed when we started talking about times.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
When I think about it, because you are very good
at it, right, Yeah, do you think you need a
TV show to validate you to where people start talking
about you in that way like they talked about the
key and the pills and chapels in Living Colors.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Not really, I think because social media is so powerful.
Well now, bro, like without social media, and I'm sure
she know this too as well, like social media might
be bigger than TV now, like it used to be
the goal, like, oh, we're gonna get the TV, We're
gonna do this big thing. But it's like, when you
really think about it, majority of the stars right now
are like the social media people. We even got Twitch

(16:20):
streamers who are making bigger bags than rappers, That's what
I'm saying. And aiden rass. These dudes are really making
a lot of money. They're paying the rappers like real
show fees to come onto their stream. So it's like,
I don't know, it's different days, but I think that's
what made me think I don't really need anything to
justify anything, because it's like, damn, we're doing it now.

(16:41):
Like I will pull up to a city and say
we're doing could have been records tomorrow, and thousands of
people are out there just lined up trying to audition.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
So it's like that's really the goal.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
For we got more with Drew Ski when we come back,
don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast
Club Morning. Everybody is st j A Lee Jesselaris. Charlamagne,
the guy we all to Breakfast Club is still kicking

the breakfast club, good morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne,
the gud We are the breakfast club. Nophew just joining us.
Salute to little Real. And this is what he said
about marriage and the wedding. We've really been playing the
marriage like weird and that's easy.

Speaker 16 (23:17):
We could do that, but like I want to make
sure everything's in order by the time we get into
that plasing all that.

Speaker 9 (23:23):
That's a great perspective. I'm not planning for the wedding.
I'm planning for the marriage.

Speaker 16 (23:27):
Yeah, we're talking about you combined and finances. We have
seven kids between us, so we need to make sure
it's the right home we have. You know, everything has
to be in order, and even just us and communicating. Yeah,
I love talking to her every day and we talk
about everything. You know, sometimes we don't agree on a
lot of shit, but we talk it out and I
love that.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
So we asking eight hundred and five five one O
five one, what are you playing for the marriage or
the wedding? Let's start with you Jess.

Speaker 12 (23:51):
Well, ever since Louarel said that, I won't my so Chris,
I said, Look, planning for the marriage.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
What does that mean though?

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Wedding?

Speaker 6 (23:58):
It?

Speaker 11 (23:59):
Uh?

Speaker 12 (24:00):
It is exactly what Charlemagne said is like. And then
what you said like when you were younger, you weren't
thinking about it. I mean as a woman, you just
think about the fairytale wedding. Like I know I can't
speak for all women, but what I hear a lot
and even myself, like I've always wanted that fairytale wedding,
walking down the aisle in front of my friends and family,
beautiful dress, the kids that I do.

Speaker 11 (24:20):
But then after what is it now?

Speaker 12 (24:22):
So that's just one ceremony, you know what I'm saying, Like,
this is us, this is us becoming one. Now we're
joining accounts, we're joining finances, we're joining like I can't
think for myself only for think about the future for myself.

Speaker 11 (24:35):
I have to think about another partner. We live in
the same.

Speaker 12 (24:38):
House, we two children. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
So this is literally what you should plan for. And
then that's why I said the wedding is easy. You know,
if you got money, wedding is easy.

Speaker 11 (24:50):
What is it? All of it entail?

Speaker 5 (24:52):
After that, let me ask you a question too. You
can say that, but what about the ring because most
women when they get the ring, that ring is expensive,
and that ring could be something that you use to
plan for your marriage, right because those rings be expensive.
They're not no cheap brings domitating they cheap. So you know,
a lot of people spend a lot of the money
on the diamond and then they have to wait to
save some more money. Then they got to plan for

(25:14):
the wedding and they gotta wait to save some more money.
But by that point, is it planning for the marriage
and not just financially. You know, you got to be
right ready as well.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (25:22):
And then also because weddings do cost so much, if
you already, if you play, if you do it right,
you plan for.

Speaker 11 (25:29):
The marriage, is the person worth all the money?

Speaker 17 (25:32):
Like?

Speaker 12 (25:32):
You got to think about that because I hear some
people and be like, yo, I spent all that money
on the wedding and we ain't even you know, like
I shouldn't even have did all that. That's why you
should plan for the marriage first and get to know
this woman or get to know this man, because it
doesn't your love shouldn't have a price on it. Like
if you do it, you did it from the heart. Man,
my baby worth all this, like you know whatever. So

(25:54):
you got to think about it from that perspective too,
when you plan for marriage, that the wedding is easy
and that is easy to get to.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Pay for that.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
Yeah, I agree with you to. I think that you
should plan for the marriage marriage, figure out how you're
gonna make this thing last longevity, whether it's like you said,
finances or we're going to therapy together to make sure
that we know how to keep this marriage in a
place where we both respect each other, we both keep
it sexy, we both know the business of marriage and
make sure that it's a successful marriage. But I think,

(26:23):
like you said, when when you're younger, you plan for
that wedding. Like I wanted to give my wife that
fairy tale wedding that she wanted, and I'm sure she
wanted that fairytale wedding.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't think we planned for the marriage at all.

Speaker 9 (26:32):
When you're younger, I think you're really just thinking about, Okay,
I'm gonna get married.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
What does that mean? Correct?

Speaker 3 (26:38):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (26:39):
It sounds good the wedding and all of that, but
then what does it actually mean to be married personally
and business wise?

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Are you right? I remember when I when I got married.
After the wedding, I went on a honeymoon and then
I lived. I lived with yaz mother. Like right, right,
we got married, spent all this.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Money on Miami. Huh, you'll go for a honeymoon?

Speaker 5 (26:59):
What you said?

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Myami because he was younger. I'm just asking you.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Went on a cruise, sir, A cruise, sir that left
from Miami, Miami from the West Side Highway to Miami.
Let's go through the phone lines.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Hello, who's this.

Speaker 7 (27:16):
Hey m B, Hey Uncle Charlotte, Hey, jes.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Morning, good morning. It says you getting married next week.

Speaker 18 (27:27):
I am getting married next week.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Congratulation.

Speaker 18 (27:30):
Planned our marriage and not our wedding. We're having a
very small, intimate, little ceremony. But we have talked way
more about our marriage than we did our wedding.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
What is planning for a marriage to look like.

Speaker 18 (27:42):
Well, we talked about how we're filing taxes and how
we're combining finances, and between the both of us, we
have four kids, so it's how we're parenting each other's kids,
and they all live with us, so that's how we
are planning for our future. Instead of, you know, the
day is, you know, a day to remember forever. However,

(28:05):
I'm spending the rest of my life with the person,
so I rather plan the rest of my life than
the one day.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
That Hello, who's this?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I am gonna go with anonymous.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Oh that means wedding didn't work out?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, yeah, no, definitely not. I agree with little Real.
Once you're out of the hypothetical of what we're gonna
do when we get married, when we get married. My
ex she she just wanted to live in the same
fear in the pageantry, and I wanted to go back
to premadal counseling. I wanted to plan the future. I

(28:39):
set up the joint bank account, and she just wasn't
moving accordingly. So I canceled the wedding.

Speaker 12 (28:45):
Okay, you saw it before it even got there, because
how it starts is.

Speaker 11 (28:48):
How it ends.

Speaker 8 (28:49):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Yeah, you know, it's like she didn't want to put
she didn't want to put equal amount of work into
the future. We were out the hypothetical, like you know,
the whole time you're dating, and there's all these conversations, Oh,
let's do this when we get married, or I'm gonna
be like this, I'm gonna be like that. Well the
ring is on, it's time to start playing that, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
You're right, Well, thank you brother.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
Hello, who's this Hi?

Speaker 15 (29:14):
This is Fatima from Stelle.

Speaker 11 (29:16):
North Carolina.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
Fatima talk to us about planning a wedding versus planning
the marriage.

Speaker 15 (29:21):
So one of the things that we always talk about
is the fact that you're going to be with this
person for the rest of your life. So the marriage
is great, the wedding is nice, but love is not everything.
And I say that by saying, do you like this person?

Speaker 6 (29:37):
Right?

Speaker 15 (29:38):
Can you be with this person for the rest of
your life? Can you combine finances like the little girl
was talking about and also think about you're also marrying
this person's family, right, so a combination of both. You
have to plan for the future from finances, sickness and health,
like everything that you can think about. Because marriage is
not easy work. People think it's fun and games until

(30:03):
some real issue really happened. Can you be there for
that person and have that faith in that person that
that person's going to be there for you as well?

Speaker 2 (30:10):
That's real, right?

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Yeah, Yeah, that's real, Thank you mama. Yeah, what's the
motal to the story?

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Guys?

Speaker 5 (30:16):
If there's more.

Speaker 9 (30:17):
Planning for your marriage, that's what we're trying to tell
you this morning. Planning for your marriage wasn't The ceremony
is great, that's cute, but that's really just the moment
in time.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
The marriage should be forever.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
That's right. I can't wait you a little big head
get married.

Speaker 12 (30:30):
Yeah, I can't wait, But you know what I can
you know, you know, because yeah, planning for her marriage now? Yeah,
because you also got to make sure people mental state
is right to Like yo, some of the phone calls
that I get up here for Jessica's my mass.

Speaker 11 (30:46):
Remember we had that.

Speaker 12 (30:46):
One caller where she was like, she didn't know she
married her husband and when he left her, when she
left him for cheating, he killed himself because.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
He felt like I remember that.

Speaker 12 (30:56):
He you know, he couldn't have you know, he couldn't
deal with losing her. But that went back to something
he was dealing with way before even meeting her. Like
you know what I'm saying. So you just gotta therapy,
mental evaluations.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
All that.

Speaker 11 (31:09):
You gotta know who you are becoming one with.

Speaker 9 (31:13):
Just as that's that's real because we're having all these
conversations about financial but you really got to go do
the work on yourself. Man, both both partners being holy
matrimony with a person and do it together. Talk about
you gonna be with this person forever until they get
triggered by your fault and then, oh my god, you
know what I'm saying, y'all in the bed together and
you fought on the person by accident, not realizing that

(31:34):
happened to him in jail and some crazy stuff happened
after that, because when a man faughts around another man
that's flirting, you don't even understand why that happened. Now
he bugging out and you don't realize why that's personal.

Speaker 12 (31:45):
Like, that's why he is a mental health advocate, because
he's still working through some things.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Yes, that's why he pulled out in his pants when
he fought. I hate a little fun pants.

Speaker 8 (31:59):
Yeah, like work.

Speaker 12 (32:00):
I hate a little for especially with the Mexican for
us because they eat a lot of no never mind.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
My boyfriend is Mexican.

Speaker 12 (32:08):
And black, but his eating habits are very yeah, yeah, and.

Speaker 9 (32:13):
So you know I hate a little Mexican for it.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Yeah, like you know, with the case so and all that.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
I'll be like.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Now, it's the Breakfast Logan Morning, the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Morning.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Everybody is dj NV just hilarious, charlamage the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guest in
the building. We have Kim Osorio, the legendary, the legendary
Kim Osorio. Welcome Kim, good morning, and also Malik Movie Welcome.
Are you feeling Now? They have a new documentary Tale
of the Tape. I'm about to say weed Tale of
the tape, how the mixed tape revolutionized hip hop, which

(32:52):
I'm an executive producer on as well.

Speaker 19 (32:54):
Welcome, Thank you, did I mess up the whole.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
Thanks for having us still call the mixtapes?

Speaker 19 (33:00):
Do they still call them mixtape.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Even to this day? There's no mixing, not on tapes.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
It's mixed shows now now it's mix shows. Yeah, that's true, they.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Were mixing back then. But it talks about the I
guess how the mixtape game and how the mixtape started.
So it starts from the beginning from Bruce E b
DJ and parties and how people started and how it
became so popular. So before we get into that, let's
let's tell people who who you are.

Speaker 19 (33:23):
Let's talk with you Ken, Okay, it all started in
the Bronx hip hop Now. Yeah, you know a lot
of people know me from the Source magazine. So I
was the former editor in chief of the Source magazine.
But today I work primarily in television right, producing passion
projects such as this one, but also a lot of
projects that you're familiar with. People know me today from

(33:44):
the impact New York love and hip hop, growing up
hip hop. You know your favorite reality shows, that's right.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
And Malik oh Man.

Speaker 10 (33:51):
I'm a director of producer, owner, operator of Red Summer TV.
Been in the game a long time telling stories. Used
to work at every platforms for RHAP City, one, O, six,
et cetera. But now I do everything through my company
and I was happy to have Kim come aboard for
this project.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Now let's break down the tale of the tape? What
made you guys want to do the Tale of the
tape came? I didn't think you were a DJ.

Speaker 19 (34:14):
First of all, don't play with me. And I used
to have turntables, right, did you? Yes? I sold them.
I needed to sell them at one one Christmas back
in the nineties that that I didn't have any money
to buy gifts. I sold my turntable and I still
regret it. Why do you want to do that? I
think I can't DJ. No like I love DJ. I'm

(34:38):
a huge but.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
You don't even know what I know.

Speaker 19 (34:40):
First of all, I was the first person that ever
put you in the source man right. They brought a
very young DJ Envy to me and said this is
the next guy, and I was like, oh, look at
this page person. My brother and I said let me
put and we followed your career at the source back then, right,
supported But you know, I think that during that time, right,

(35:03):
DJing it was such an important part of the culture.
I'm not saying it isn't now. It's just that it
doesn't get as much shine, correct, Right, So I feel
like it's our responsibility to do that. So I'm a
huge fan of DJ, like I've always been, Like, I'm
the type of person that sends playlists to people, Like
if you're like really close to me, you know that
about me. You know what I'm saying, c NV.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
You straight away.

Speaker 19 (35:24):
Over the years, you ain't want to call nobody, so
I don't send you my playlist. But I'm that to
I build playlists, and I think that like that's almost
like the new mixtape when we think about it. But
I just love music. I love DJ culture, and so
it was a project that I wanted to get down with.

Speaker 8 (35:38):
Now.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
You guys started this project years ago, many years ago. Yeah,
you could tell from j Cole that doesn't have a dreads.
Neither does Kendrick.

Speaker 19 (35:46):
I don't think you got any facial.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
I didn't have.

Speaker 9 (35:50):
The products were all the products that they used now
weren't out back then. Joe got the rewind. Now you
know that wasn't around when y'all probably started.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
So you know, why did it take so long to
actually get it out?

Speaker 10 (36:04):
Like Kim said, this was a this is a passion process,
right self funded. You know, it started because of you know,
me being a storyteller. Everywhere I went, you know, interviewing
and documenting, whether it was artists, whether it was DJ's
the connective tissue was always the mixtape. You know, That's
how everybody that got their start in some way, shape
form or fashion. And I was like, we have to

(36:25):
tell his story. So a lot of some of those
interviews were on the back end of certain certain certain
production you know what I mean. And yeah, so you know,
we're very happy that, you know, we were able to
like fully craft it into the story that it is.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Now watching this, uh, you know, you realize that Brucey
B was kind of the creator of the mixtape. He
doesn't get a lot of the the accolades and shine
as he should. So how it's talking to Brucey B.
If you don't know who Brucey B was, he was DJ,
I don't know if he's from Harlem and the Bronx.

Speaker 19 (36:53):
I think he is from Harlem.

Speaker 9 (36:54):
Right.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
Yeah, So so talk about Brucey B and how how
it was created.

Speaker 10 (36:58):
I mean, first of all, shout out to Brucey B.
He was, you know, really really inviting. I just got
his number through a friend and gave McCall and said, look,
I want to I want to do your interview who,
what time and where. His story is so dope because
you know, he was that guy for the from the rooftop, right,
that legendary club, which I guess like you know what
the tunnel.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Was for us something like that.

Speaker 10 (37:19):
But it was a painstaking process to like actually record
his mixes and then spend the whole week duplicating one
by one by one, right and then selling them that
next week. The only other way to make you know,
the ways he was making extra money was like hustl
dude saying, Yo, can you shout my name out?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
He's charging extra for that, you know, And it's.

Speaker 10 (37:37):
Just dope as we follow it in a linear process,
so we get to like, you know, you and clueing
you guys are evds and shrink rap and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
So it was it's, you know, it's dope to see.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Now I noticed Roan G wasn't on the project, that's correct.

Speaker 10 (37:51):
What what happened with Ron g Ron had some schedule issues,
I'll say that, but you know, we couldn't not talk
about it. You know, Rawn g is an integral part
of mixtape culture. You know I went to the National
Treasure of Morgan State. He used to come down and
battle with him in essens. We have parties. That's actually

(38:12):
where I met you the first time. You coming through
Morgan going to Hampton one weekend and we did some
business with your mixtapes. Had a mixtape spot back then, and.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
I was gonna ask with all those you know, what
was one thing that you realized that you didn't know?
Like for myself, I didn't know that Swiss Beats actually
got his start by listening to these DJs do intro
and he wanted to create intros like that, and that's
how he actually got into production.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (38:35):
What was one of the things that you guys learned
off for watching making this that you were like, wow,
I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
I go first.

Speaker 10 (38:41):
I think what I learned most interesting was why Kid
Capri exited doing mixtapes. I didn't know had got so
high for him. I just thought it was a natural
transition progression for him to do, you know, def comedy
jam and kind of go you know, more of the
business slash corporate route.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
But you know that wasn't that.

Speaker 10 (38:59):
Was necessarily the case, because if he was stuck around
doing what he did, he ended up like drama.

Speaker 19 (39:04):
I think so right, And I think for me, besides
the fact of course that I learned that you was
a lot more controversial icy, It was a lot more
spicy in the original interview, you know what I'm saying,
Like you've toned it down a little bit, and that's
I think that's what you had to do a mixtape culture, right,
Like you had to get out there. It was very competitive.
But I learned a lot about drama situation and how

(39:27):
that changed the course of mixtapes and kind of steered
into the mixtape. I think as the younger community knows
it today, they don't really understand like how we viewed
mixtapes back then. How you went to the you know,
one hundred and twenty fifth Street, Fordham Road, third Avenue
to get the tape if it came out on Friday,
just to hear all of the new cuts or hear
the new blends. They don't have that same perspective, And

(39:49):
I think the game changed around that time, when you
know the FEDS rated.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
Yeah, we got more with the legendary Kim Osorio and
also Maliko when we come back, don't move. It's the
Breakfast Club in the morning, morning everybody. It's DJ, Envy,
Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club.
We're still kicking with kim O sorryo and also Charlamage.

Speaker 9 (40:11):
What about I haven't seen it? Just so what about
Wayne in fifty? Did y'all speak to them? Because there
was a period where, like you know, DJ's, the artists were.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Probably more important to mixtap coaching than the DJ.

Speaker 19 (40:21):
I mean, we wasn't getting no fifty in this Stamp
documentary we said it was self funded.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
We said it was self funded, you know what?

Speaker 19 (40:32):
Yeah, And I think part of the reason I have
and we come in and work with us on this
documentaries was just to have a credible DJ be able
to help us shape our narrative and telling the story
and make sure there weren't things that we missed because
a lot of that inside stuff you don't know really
what's going on, and then you come in with your
cameras and you're trying to interview people and they're not
really telling you the full story. So MV was our
checks and ballancs. So MVY, why didn't fifty do the doc?

Speaker 5 (40:54):
Because I think what this doctor was mostly based on
the DJs, the actually DJ.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
But there wasn't a period where the artists did shift.

Speaker 19 (40:59):
Things to talk about that a lot in there, right,
like the g unit, like how they change the game
dipset right, and that's where and that's why you know
we did get Kendrick. Kendrick is in.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
There, Cole talks about you.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
In there.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
J Cole on there talks about how he thought he
would never do a mixtape. He thought it was whack,
and then when he came up here in New York
and seeing all the DJ's doing, he was like, I
have to do it. And that was the creation of
his mixtape.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
That's what blew him up. Yeah, Like that's what set
the foundation and.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
That's what he talks about. So he talks about that.
So now let me ask you when it when it
comes to DJs, who do you guys can see that
the mount Rushmore of DJs mixtape DJs, I should say, oh, Wow,
take me out because I probably want to take me
out part of the project.

Speaker 19 (41:40):
Bruce E B, K, Capri, ron G and DJ Clue.
What that's just what I listened to, Okay, So.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Leave Drama off.

Speaker 19 (41:48):
Drama is comes later in my mind, like, that's much later.
And you're from the South, so that's different.

Speaker 9 (41:54):
I'm from New York and for me it would be Clue, Drama,
ron G and probably.

Speaker 10 (42:00):
Yeah, yeah, I think I definitely Kipri Clue Drama.

Speaker 19 (42:06):
Wow you left off and you said that was your
favorite mixtape?

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Is my favorite?

Speaker 6 (42:12):
Wasn't that?

Speaker 5 (42:13):
W Yeah? I see it's bad because a lot of
people forget Brucey B. Right, they forget what Brucey B
did for mixtape he started. So just because of that,
Brucey B has to be on there right then, for me,
Clue is my mixtape savior. He's my god. Right, He's
not my dad, I.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Said, credit.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
Man, credit, He's not my dad, but he's definitely up there.
You can't take away what Drama did. Like you know,
I joke with Drama all the time and we always
talk about who's better Drama on Clue. But Drama was
one of the people that changed the game, and when
it came to mixtape, like Clue changed the game how
he did it. But Drama was getting full artist mixtapes,
which wasn't done before. And what he was able to

(42:57):
do was, you know, some of these artist mixtapes are
better than in the actual album. You know, if you
think about what he did with g Z, what he
did with Wayne, what he did with Gotti, what he
did with g Unit, what he did with for Real,
what he did all those TI TI especially, is like,
you can't take that away from Drama, And then it's
like that's kind of for but you can't forget Kid

(43:17):
or Ron.

Speaker 19 (43:18):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
So it's very difficult, right.

Speaker 19 (43:20):
Right, Why y'all try to have Drama calling my phone?
Like he wasn't on my top four y'all was like,
you can't take everybody went against me. I was like, okay,
but you know what that was after I think my
impressionable years of when I was consuming mixtapes, right, so,
like I could see why in my mind I look
at really like the forefathers more so of the culture

(43:40):
at that time when mixtapes were prevalent.

Speaker 5 (43:43):
We broke down a lot of the artists that got
their start form mixtapes, right, can y'all talk break that
down a little bit some of those artists.

Speaker 10 (43:49):
I mean, of course there's g Unit and of course
this Dipset. But Joe, Joe butten talks about how he
got his start. He talks about integral You and the
clue world to his career. He always says he did
it first. He always says he was but that's just Joe, right,
he said, no, I did it first. G Unit and
Dipset copied me. But I think those move music and tapes,

(44:10):
you know, set the bar for what a lot of
the other guys did from the Coles, Kendricks and especially
Big Shawn's.

Speaker 5 (44:16):
Yeah, I just I'm just glad that people get a
chance to see where it actually started from and when
DJ is really mattered. And I think the DVDs is great.
I mean, you have to do French Montana where he
got his start. Of course, Smack Smack was my first fight.

Speaker 19 (44:29):
Oh so you can't come on his executive.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Now we're cool now he beat me up to beat you.
Smack beat me up to each other.

Speaker 19 (44:39):
You said, shout out to.

Speaker 5 (44:46):
Smack was my first fight.

Speaker 19 (44:48):
But these are the things that that we have to
document in front of my pops.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Dude, that was great, meet up in front cool.

Speaker 9 (44:56):
This is crazy, yeah, crazy. I think it's gonna be
interesting to see too, how DJ's got their music, like
those exclusives that they used to put on their mixtapes.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Like I always like hearing those stories.

Speaker 9 (45:10):
I like hearing how artists used to get really pissed
off and used to be hunting the DJs down because
of that.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Who talks about that? He talks about clue and envy,
How they used to steal Who kid got kidnapped? Did
he talk No, he didn't talk about that.

Speaker 5 (45:24):
Punk kidnapped him. The story they said they were going
to book them for a party and who kid drove
up to I think it was the Bronx or Harlem
and they told him to come, you know, come to
the car so we can give you a deposit. So
his man stayed in the car. Who kids jumped out
and they threw him in the back and they beat
him up, beat him up for playing an exclusive. So
that was one of them. Well, we used to get
the exclusive a couple of different ways. So the Biggie

(45:47):
exclusive that I got was Biggie put his car in valet,
and the valet guy took the tape out and sold
to me. So that's how we got that wheeling. Yeah,
was pray for my downfall. Wow, it was unmixed mass
that the all of earth gott the exclusives. It was
IRV gott his intern. They never paid the interns back here,
that's old now, they never paid the interns. W used

(46:09):
to go to the studio. What he used to do
is used to play the dats back in the day
loud in the office, so everybody would hear it, and
the intern took that one, and then uh, the engineers
in the studio. So all these artist would be disrespectful
to the engineers and curse out him to yell at him.
So you give him a couple hundred Back then it
was a couple hundred dollars, two hundred dollars, and they
just leaking the record and they would leak the records.
That's how we got the majority of our records.

Speaker 19 (46:30):
Wow, that's an exclusive right there.

Speaker 9 (46:34):
How could the mixtapes legally be sold if they weren't
original songs?

Speaker 19 (46:38):
The artist for the day that it was all illegal,
wasn't it.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
So even those stores you used to go up in
when the promotional use so that's what it always used
to say, promotional use only.

Speaker 17 (46:47):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Really yeah wow.

Speaker 19 (46:49):
It was all illegal and then they would get bootlegged
by the bootlegs and so everything was kind of like whole.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Wholes wholesalers, and that was different.

Speaker 10 (46:59):
I was when I met Envy, when he came down,
he had again his products were shrink wrapped, arcoded, like.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
Somebody was keeping inventory. I was impressed.

Speaker 10 (47:08):
I was like, you know, and you're good friends with
my boys, sha and so in the Philippines, okay, yeah,
yeah yeah, and so he would be like, he'd be like, yeah,
you can't boot like my boys stuff, and so we
would just you know, have to take the hit on that.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:22):
So yeah, we we figured out a way to do it.
But the labels would never complain because for the labels,
it was promotion for their artists. So they wanted their
artists on the top six songs because it was promotion.
They wanted their freestyles, they wanted that, so they would give,
you know, mixtapes, and then we were getting so many
Rockefeller records. Jay Z and Dan Dash protests to say,
let's do these Rockefeller mixtapes and that's how the Rockefeller

(47:42):
mixtapes came with Lennis and just became big cluded and
want to do it. So I was next. I look
forward to. So how can people see this? If they
want to watch the full documentary, the full DVD document
hip hop mixtape documentary, how can they watch it?

Speaker 10 (47:55):
Well, they can go to uh It's on Amazon prompt,

Speaker 9 (48:41):
Yes, donkey today goes the twenty nine year old and
Keisha Wood Williams of Texas. Now Lakeisha was hit with
two charges of child endangerment last Thursday after police officers
found her eight year old and six year old child
alone in their high rise apartment complex.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Now, I know we've heard these stories before.

Speaker 9 (48:59):
Parents leave their home a loons that they can go
to work, sometimes the clubs, sometimes to the grocery store
real quick. But Lakeisha, oh, she had bigger plans. See,
Lakeisha didn't leave for a couple hours. No, Lakeisha decided
she needed to be gone for nearly a week. What
would cause the woman to leave her kids for nearly
a week?

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Let's go to ABC thirteen. I was his news report.

Speaker 5 (49:17):
Please.

Speaker 11 (49:18):
Lakisha Williams.

Speaker 20 (49:19):
Williams is accused of leaving her six year old daughter
and eight year old son home alone at their luxury
high rise in the Memorial City area while she flew
to Florida and bordered a cruise to Puerto Rico.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Both juveniles teld officers that they had been left alone
since April fourth.

Speaker 20 (49:36):
The young children were said to be left alone to
fend for themselves for at least five days, and told
deputies they didn't know when their mother was coming home.
The Precinct five Constable's office responded to William's apartment for
a welfare check on Tuesday and noted that the apartment
was in a state of disarray. They say it smelled
like urine and said it was obvious the children had

(49:57):
tried to make themselves meals.

Speaker 11 (50:00):
Records say police found.

Speaker 20 (50:01):
A phone and a camera that she was using to
communicate with the children while she was gone. When deputies
tried to contact Williams, they say she was not cooperative
and changed her story about where she was.

Speaker 5 (50:13):
She was arrested Thursday evening.

Speaker 9 (50:15):
Don't matter where you were, like you was going away
from the kids for a week.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Okay, why did this remind me of Jay and Stylent Bob?

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Remember that? What the hell? Excuse me? Who's watching these babies?

Speaker 4 (50:25):
I did?

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Fallon's watching the little one?

Speaker 3 (50:28):
Oh nice parent, Lakeisha.

Speaker 9 (50:30):
As a parent, we all want a vacation from our kids. Okay,
you take My wife and I don't take vacations, but
we just go and get away from the kids for
a while. Yes, the difference is we have babysitiz in,
nannies and grandparents adult supervision. Imagine planning a vacation. Okay,
you packing. You're getting your head done some.

Speaker 5 (50:48):
Nice protective style like con roles or full locks or
Cinegalese twist.

Speaker 12 (50:54):
That's what they call, right, Jess, I don't know Senegalese was.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
What protective style you'd be getting full locks?

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
By no senegal Eese, she said.

Speaker 9 (51:02):
She No, okay, okay, you get you some nice little outfits,
some pretty little thing.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Sheen fashion over right.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
Jess, Yeah, boy, rainbow maybe rainbow.

Speaker 9 (51:13):
You go get you a manicure, pedicure, you get you
a wax. You're doing all the things to go on vacation. Meanwhile,
you're just planning to leave your eight and six year
old at home.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Now.

Speaker 9 (51:22):
I know people can't afford proper childcare. I get it,
But if you can't afford the vacation and for someone
to watch your kids, then maybe you can't afford to
go on vacation.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Why don't people think like that?

Speaker 9 (51:32):
Forget, if you can afford the cruise, can you afford
to leave this eight and six year old home alone
for a week?

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Dan says, no, okay.

Speaker 9 (51:40):
This woman was communicating with the kids via a camera
in the apartment and be a text message to.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
The eight year old.

Speaker 9 (51:47):
This whole situation is a prime example of Grandma no
longer being in our lives.

Speaker 5 (51:52):
Where is Big Mama? Okay, where is Grandma? Where is Grandma? Nowadays?

Speaker 9 (51:56):
Grandma might have been on the cruise with her because
Grandma forty nine and the daughter's and both of them
working on Facebook the sexy right now, both kids would
check by paramedics as well as child protective Services, and
they've both have been removed from the apartment.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
And guess what now they are in care.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Of their aunt.

Speaker 9 (52:12):
If they have an aunt that they can be in
care of now, then why the hell weren't theyn care.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
The aunt while you was on the cruise?

Speaker 5 (52:19):
Maybe the aunt was there too, Maybe then.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
They wouldn't give him to the hunting right, Well, yeah,
you're right.

Speaker 9 (52:26):
The fact that we can't make sense of any of
this is exactly why we must give Lakeisha the credit
she deserves being stupid. So please let Remy mar give
Lakeisha wood Williams the biggest he haw.

Speaker 19 (52:35):
He haw he ha.

especially when you ain't smiling. Over body, you can tell.
You can tell she got her mouth balls was tucked
over the over bite.

I was running a barbecue restaurant, old guy, and he
said he used to watch me in the kitchen when
I first start, when he first started, he's watching.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
He said, you need to go, you need to go stage.
And I ain't paying to this to He's I gonna
bring you something tomorrow. He brought me this album, you know,
back in the day Yet album. He was a comedian,
but he was ex Navy. He was an alcoholic. He's
I don't waste your time on this job, and you
need to go on stage. Know what I did how quick?
Because I had a family, I was young, man, had
three kids, and man, I went and start working for
Freedo a potato chips, selling potato chips. And the whole

(56:10):
time I'm selling potato chips and on the doc, I'm
just funny, acting crazy.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
It's so good, old white dude. So you know you
need to go study. Yeah, I see you here every morning.

Speaker 4 (56:18):
You know, study you fronny, I look comedians, a fraud,
say or nothing you know and you're gonna stay. And
when I took that step, man, I knew that's why
I should have been my whole entire light. And what
made me take that step. I was going through a
divorce and my x ye said you'd never make it.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Why did you tell you that?

Speaker 4 (56:36):
So I just looked at it and say, I see
you on TV. You know what I'm saying, And it's
been gone there. I've been doing it now thirty five
years now.

Speaker 5 (56:43):
You also mentioned that you were only child, only child.
Your father left at the age of five.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
He was in Air Force and he was a Madican
Air Force and he was uh, he flew choppers and
airplanes and when he when he got out, he was
an antety geologist.

Speaker 5 (56:57):
Was it important to mend that relationship before he passed
or yeah? I did?

Speaker 2 (57:01):

Speaker 4 (57:02):
My mother said, I just wanted to know I remember him.
My mama said, what you looking for him for? You know,
because they be mad. But my mother really ran him off,
you know what I mean. She was just she ran
him off and she was off monster man. You know
what I'm saying that No, I just like, man, this dude,
this cool. He was really cool, you know, but she's like,

(57:22):
I don't want to know everything he tried to do.
She just knocked it down, Like but she was listening
to a girlfriends. That's why I tried to tell all
these young girls. Don't listen to no woman that ain't
got no man. You don't say what I'm saying. You
got a woman, if you got a girlfriend, you got
a husband. She not true a husband, but a woman that.

called us ever. And my mother didn't even know she
was divorced.

He did a non contestant divorce because my mother just work,
come home, never went anywhere. So when she said, I
think I'm going to get a divorce, and when she
went to do it, said you already divorced and uncontested.
You put it in the newspaper for thirty days. You
don't answer the ad. Bam, you divorced. I did not
know he was already gone.

He was gone, and I got married three more times.
I found it when I was like forty years old.

So he knew who he was.

He knew it exactly who I was. He knew exactly
who I looked like. No, my son looked like him, though,
my baby boy looks just like him. But it's funny
how I dip over, you know what I'm saying. But

in touch, and he ended up passing away about seventeen
years ago. My mother passed away fourteen years You and

When she found out, she was like, she was toe up.

Speaker 9 (01:00:22):
Yeah, and you said, your uncle Paul inspired you as
far as comedy because he was the funny.

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
Oh man, he was funny. Okay, he tell a lot.
Everybody got help me with this lot? Everybody, Hell did
I tell me?

Speaker 8 (01:00:32):

Speaker 5 (01:00:32):
He told you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Everybody that help me with this lot. But he was
one of the best bakers in the world.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
He he practically raised Gladys Knight back in the day,
and they used to call him the sweetbread Man, and
Gladys Knight knew him. His name was Paul Henson Junior,
and he went by the sweetbread Man because he was
the baker in Atlanta, Georgia. He was the man, and
he talked about Gladys all the time. But Gladys and
I was really raised on the same street. The street

(01:01:00):
was Chestnut Street. They changed to James Street Broadley. I
was on four point fifteen. She was on like seven
eighty five something like that, just right up the street,
like two blocks, you know. No, no, I I was
a little kid, but she lived at when he first husband.
You know what I'm saying. But Glad, it's a girl.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:01:14):
Wow, how were you able to translate your funny to
actually make a career of it? But somebody like Uncle Paul,
who was funny, couldn't. I know, My uncle Paul was
just scared of going and say he was scared. See
see black people back in it. They had the skill
to do everything, but they were scared to do it.
They had so much fear. So like young kids, not
that dude, They I don't care, I'll do it. So
I just took it and rain with him. Uncle one

(01:01:35):
of the best bakers in the world. He went against
bakers from France and Italy, you know, from England, and
he beat them all out, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
Then he went to he had a cheesecake that he made.
It was one of the best cheesecakes in the world.
And they tricked him out of it and didn't have
sense enough to get a lawyer and everything. Gave him
like ten thousand dollars they clapping. He was all happy
with yeah, when he could have got one hundred million.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
You know what I'm saying. But just didn't have a
sense and the knowledge to do that. At the time.

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
Oh you know, I wanted to know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
As a child was Bruce Bruce big as a child? No,
man was a little bit he calling me little Bruce Man.
I didn't I didn't get fat till I got man.
I don't know why I got married. Oh my god,
I wouldn't eat it.

Speaker 9 (01:02:13):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
I was just a little bit of dude, just run round,
just messing with itverybody. I was a little bit of
kid man. But when I got married, I got fat.
You know, that's what happened to us as black man.
We get complacent that, we get complacent with jobs. We
get a job and let's just say jeral motives, we
make a little money. Oh man, that's a good job.
I don't care nothing about a good job. It's about
getting out there getting it because it's more than that

(01:02:35):
and getting a good job.

Speaker 9 (01:02:37):
I ain't like that question, by the way, I don't
like the question he asked. What was Bruce Bruce little
as a child was a big child?

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
I went on fat kid man? What he wanted.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
He thought I was just couldn't clap my hands. Child
could clap his hand. Y'all clap my hand. But no,
I was a little kid. A little cute joker. Man,
I messing with everybody, and you know we we seen
to lose focus, and that's what happened. You lose focus,
you start eating crazy. But now I'm back at man.
I'm sixty two years old. Man, Wow, we got more

(01:03:10):
with Bruce Bruce.

Speaker 5 (01:03:11):
When we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Good morning.

Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
More than everybody is DJ and V. Yes, I lost
my voice, jess Alariy Charlamagne the God. We are the
Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Bruce Bruce. Now,
I got a question, what's the most difficult city Because
you're on the road. What five days a week, four
days a week, shoes, you know, every week. What's the
toughest city for you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
I'm gonna be honest. I never had a tough city, man.
I have had some tough crowds.

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
When the comedy clubs hold these people hostages, you know,
like let's just say, first show is at seven, second
show is supposed start at ten, all right, they let
the first show run over. These people are coming to
the show at ten o'clock outside waiting, So that's the
piss they pissed, you know, So you got to really
go to work to make them laugh, you know, or
go and or say something like this, say y'all have

(01:03:57):
been at working, they want to be there, Like yeah,
that's why I feel that, you know what I'm saying.
So when you break the ice with them, you got them.
Once you get them, you got them. But you got
to run the clubs on time. And it's hard dealing
with us. It's black people. It's hard to deal with
a lot of black people, man. But the white clubs
they be on it, damn because they realize the money
they can make in the short length of time.

Speaker 9 (01:04:16):
You know, you just maybe think about when it comes
to doing business with black people and white people, because
I love doing business with with with my people, right,
but I don't think we often look at it as
a business.

Speaker 5 (01:04:26):
We donel like it should be a personal TRANSI action.

Speaker 8 (01:04:28):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
It's always.

Speaker 4 (01:04:31):
It's because people people call my manager and be like, man,
Bruce go back fifteen. I don't even know this brother.
You know what I'm saying, Yeah, I met him at
gas station and you don't know me.

Speaker 8 (01:04:40):
Bro.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
Maybe I come across like you do know me, but
you don't know me. They'll call and be like we
discussed the deal, and he said he will do it
for this. That's not true because I don't discuss money
at all with anybody, but they always think it's like
a partner thing when it should just be business.

Speaker 5 (01:04:56):
Do you remember your best show and you remember your
worst show?

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Yeah? Man, I can remember a lot of him, but
they people don't know it. I knew it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:02):
I can remember my first I mean, I come off
Saint Tap a guy, and I liked that show. But
people thought it was great. But I'd be like, I
didn't like that show.

Speaker 5 (01:05:08):
What was your What was your worst show? Because they said,
you don't write things down, it's just awful.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
Come out a couple.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
One time, I was in Houston, Texas, and uh, I
was doing this show and I was joning everybody out
and this dude came up and joeed me, and he
was funny, but he said, you know, God, damn Joe.
He said, I like a pickle jaw, you know. And
I saw, like, damn, that's funny. But I said, I'm
gonna keep that. You know, sent me like a pickle jaw.
I was like, oh my god, that's funny. But the

(01:05:34):
crowd loved it because I took it so well. I
didn't go off, you know, I exactly. It was really
funny when he said it. And the best show I
ever did, it was years and years and years ago.
Is when Bernie Mack was red hot. Bernie Mack was
super hot. And it's a it's a part of Georgia
called Macon, Georgia, and it's about an hour from Atlanta,
and Bernie was performing. He had a five thousand seater

(01:05:55):
and the feature didn't show up and the guy said, hey, man,
my feature did in show. Can you come down opening
up for Bernie Mac? I said, yes, you know I
had been in the game now by Bobby. Yes, And
I drove down that quick as I could, and I
was on stage and I can remember Bernie Mack had
his arm folded looking at me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
He said, who's that dude right that they said his
Bruce was? He said, he is funny.

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
But Bernie went up and ripped it. And I worked
with Bernie twice in my whole entire life. May couldn't
And then I worked with in Columbia, South Carolina on time.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:23):
But Bernie was a bad dude man, and people don't
realize when he did. I'm not scared of you on
death Jam. He made that up right then because everybody
was coming up. They was having a car a hard
time here in New York.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Damn Jam.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
They was getting it to him. You know New York.
They don't hold no punches, you know. And Bernie said, man,
I ain't scatting the mother, and he went up and
did it. Him and Capri went together on it and
he ripped it. Man, Bernie was bad.

Speaker 5 (01:06:47):
Was that the funniest comedian you have worked with?

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
No, man?

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
I know some funny comedians now, like Tony Robinson is stupid.
Funny Tony makes me laugh. You know who Tony Robbinson is. Yes,
Oh my god, Tonor Robbinson told me he's the date
of girl. Her breath was so bad it smelled like
a horse's hiccups. So who think of that? Who think
of a horses? You know what I'm saying. He makes
me laugh. Mike Caps, Mike Capps is one of the

(01:07:10):
dude I trained back in the day. Mike used to
be on the road me. Mike moved from Indiana to Atlanta.
I used to take him on the road with me,
and then he moved to New York. And he called
me when They said, man, they want me to audition
for Fridays. I said, what you waiting on? I said,
look for somebody like you and he called me A
week later.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
I got the part. I said, you're on your wait day.
They that's my man.

Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
Now we've seen Kat Williams pulled out his chop a
couple of months ago. He was fired at everybody. What
was your thoughts? Because you know a lot of that
stuff was inside that became outside.

Speaker 4 (01:07:37):
Well, I think Cat just told how he felt, man
and what's been going on in his life for real,
and he just got fed up with it. You know
when people when people dog you out, Let's just say this.
I used to tell people I had a club at Atlanta.
It's called Club five five nine, and I used to
tell my securities. I said, listen, when you have an
altercation with a guy, be careful because they don't forget you.

(01:07:59):
You don't be a forgot to them. So if you
throw them out the club, throw them on their head
and they'd be like, I'm not gonna forget that. They
won't forget you, but you forgot who that was. And
you'd go store with your woman shopping. He run up
all you you remember me. You're like, no, you had
to be careful. So Cat just went through some things,
stuff that he never forgot that was done to him,
and he's coming back retaliating and he just told.

Speaker 8 (01:08:21):
It like it was.

Speaker 9 (01:08:21):
I mean, there's a lot of different things you could
take from that conversation. But the thing I took from
it that I appreciate it. It felt like it put
black comedy in a in a new light. Yeah, like
people started paying attention to the old geez like you,
Tony Robbers like they.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:08:35):
I just felt like it just shine earthquake and shine
a light on the on the people who've been doing it,
and people got to understand something about Kat Williams. Kat
Williams is not a dummy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
He is very smart. He's very smart.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
I don't know if y'all remember when he had altercation
in Atlanta with one of the smith if you if
you ever noticed it, he never lost his composer.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
He stood there and drunk his coffee and he was
killing her the whole time. And he's just cool like that.
He's very smart. He's a smart guy.

Speaker 5 (01:09:01):
How did you feel about all these artists mentioned you
and their songs?

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
Well, you have a surprise that you here before when
you heard let Bruce Bruce hit it that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
God, I just hate when dude said it. You know
what I'm saying, like we let Bruce brother, Brother, you
shouldn't be saying that. Then your girls should say it,
but not not me, not you brother say that on
the text this morning?

Speaker 9 (01:09:19):
Did it because our producer was like, man, Bruce Bruce
has already had we were on the way, Yeah, and
so he goes, well, entertain them, then let Bruce.

Speaker 8 (01:09:25):
Bruce hit it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
I was joking. I forgive you. That's what he said.
I forgive you.

Speaker 5 (01:09:29):
That's inside stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:09:30):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
I just I just thought it was stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
You know he did. I felt he felt we cool.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
So he just told me and our producer told him
that was he was going to h.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
It's gonna be some that breath. Why did you do that?

Speaker 5 (01:09:42):
Why did you? Yeah, bigg Biggie mentioned you and hypnotime. Yeah,
the first time you heard did you happened?

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
I was in Jacksonville, Floyd. I never forget this, and
I wanted to meet him so bad because I was
a fan of big you know man. He came in
and I was on stage clown and I was the people.
I mean, I asked to do it. I said that
shirt sill because it's like I say, is it's silky
behind it too much?

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
You know something like that. He walked in, he said,
just do this.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
Funny because if you ever really pay attention to Biggie,
he didn't really smile that much, you know what I'm saying.
He just always had that look, this nons look. He
smiled on the video when he was on the boat.
When he was on the boat and he started smiling,
he said, we'll put you down for it. And when
I heard him, like what what was like?

Speaker 17 (01:10:25):
That was?

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
People were debating whether he yeah, did he say that?

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
Yeah? It was like Bruce, Bruce, who do something to us?

Speaker 5 (01:10:31):
Talk goes through us?

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
Girls do us? One of those screws who met Poppy
and Pump. It was just love he showed.

Speaker 4 (01:10:37):
But he was a cool guy man, and I actually
saw him smile and laugh because I never saw him smile.
He just always had this like heart look, like you know,
he read to fight. But he was really funny. It
was fun to be around.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
So he told you he was going to put you Yeah, okay,
yeah's how you know it?

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
Was Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
I listened to it over and though I just kept
coming back, I just I just kept repeating it, this too,
it over and on and that was love.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
That was real love.

Speaker 5 (01:11:00):
We got more with Bruce Bruce when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, Good morning.
We are the Breakfast Club. Comedian Bruce Bruce is still here.

Speaker 9 (01:11:11):
Charlomagne now out of Depth, Comedy Jam, Showtime at the Apollo,
and Comic View.

Speaker 4 (01:11:15):
Which one had the most impact on you? Comicview? Depth
Jam first? Depth Jam was the start and come on
that we got to give it to Russell Simmons, I mean,
big up for him. Depth Jam was good. But when
I did Comic View, see Comic View started out as
Coast to Coast. I don't know if you'll remember that.
They used to come out to your city and come
to a club and film you and then take it back.

(01:11:35):
And DL was the host and he was like, look, we.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
Went all the way down to Atlanta at a club
called the Comedy Act Theater and we've seen this guy,
Bruce Bruce, and then showed me and I did the
Coast cod when they first started.

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
But I never forget the year that the host. It
was probably the best year for me that I have
ever experienced in my life. They went from ten ten
million viewers a twenty million viewers with the host and
it was great for me. It was I made some money.
They gave me money for wardrobe. That's why I dressed
in all them suits, because I thought I was a pimp.
You know what I'm saying. I thought I was a
straight up pimp.

Speaker 5 (01:12:07):
Why do you help so many comedians? Comedians talk about
that you helped someone so many comedians in their.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
Career and their life.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
Well, what gives you the energy because a lot of
people be like, I ain't helping him because he might
get bigger than me. But you you talked about so
many communities.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
Yeah, but so many helped me. I never forget when
I first when I was in the comedy act there
in Atlanta, and John Willerspoon came to Atlanta and he
looked at me and he say, you got it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
He said, you really got it. He say, I like you.

Speaker 4 (01:12:32):
So he started telling me what to do and what
not to do, and he helped me, took me up
on this wing. Ronaldolray did the same thing. He helped
me on BT when he was my calls. People don't
realize that Ronald Ray was a college professor before he
started doing comedy. He was extremely smart and he would
tell me sometimes he said, turn your body to the
right a little bit. When you tell that joke, it'll

(01:12:53):
work better. And I'm like, how's that gonna work better?
And it worked better. And then the last are the
Mohicans who really told me say you won't have to
find her, and they will find you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
His name was Paul Mooney. Wow, the legend Paul Mooney.

Speaker 4 (01:13:06):
He told me that Rodney Winterfield, y'all remember, Rightney Winfield
that my man took. He said, a lot of these
juggles don't like you just because you're funny. He says,
keep being funny. You're gonna be alright just to call
me do shows with him, you know. You know back
in the day, man, somebody say, man, we got to
show paying three hundred dollars. I'm like, let's go. You
know these new kids now, he say, man, I got

(01:13:27):
a show for you. How much you're paying?

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
Hold it play?

Speaker 4 (01:13:29):
You ain't been seen walking by TV much less on TV,
so what is you talking about? How much they're paying.
If I tell you about the show, I'm gonna make
sure you get paid.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Just that something. You think social media helped the hurt comedy.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
Oh, he helped it, Chara Mane. I wish I had
social media thirty five years ago. The only thing we
had was go in this city early through radio, try
to do TV to get people in there. Social media
is a platform that really helped a lot of young
comedians now now bedrim Me like myself. They get pissed

(01:14:02):
because all the new young comedians are coming up faster.
Have been doing comedy for twenty five years, thirty years,
and he ain't even doing coming with three months. I
tell them like this, you can't beat them showing them
and they're winning, so you might as well fall in
the footstep.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
They are winning.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
But that's why them young comedians feel like, that's why
they're asking how much?

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
Right, because they following Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
But then the only thing about it, Charla, is when
they do get booked, only thing they got to say
is what they did on social media. You got to
bring out more than that, right, you know you got that.
That's seven minutes, you got oh, it's five, But what
about this other twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
They need you to do.

Speaker 4 (01:14:36):
You can tell when a person is bombing because they
start talking real positive. You know, we need to take
care of these kids.

Speaker 5 (01:14:41):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
You know, hey man, support these women. Man, hey man,
these women need to support. They need to respect. They're
bombing like hell. They trying to get positive. That's a
favorite part of a.

Speaker 9 (01:14:51):
Comedy show, you know what it is. I like to
see somebody trying to dig themselves out of a hole.
Oh my god, if you see me laughing really hard,
it's probably because you up this thing.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
Because I remember seeing you, because I watch you guys
all the time. I remember seeing you on Ridiculousness. Right Chanelle,
West Coast. She made her so mad.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
You see you was coming and say, I never seen
you on anything. I never seen you rap with. I rapped,
stoop she got they went to commercial. I think it
happened twice right now, just one she do she rap?

Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
Yeah, I think she did.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
Okay, okay, but I didn't know it. But I looked
at you and I'm like, oh my god, she's pissed.
She got pitched. She moved that hair back the commercial
commercial and she came back. She was gonna come. Yeah,
we're back. Here pissed her head. I never seen your nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
I never seen you, snoop, I never seeing you, too short,
I never seen you. She was pissed. I laughed so
hard at that. That was so good.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
How big of a deal is it now for her
comedian to have a special?

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Does it even matter? Well?

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
Let me you know, it's funny you said that, man,
specials are good. I just got signed for Netflix special.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
And the reason, the reason I just took it, I
wasn't gonna do I was gonna do it myself, like
it make them buy you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
But they offered it to me. We're gonna do it.
We're gonna do it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:04):
I think around August, so Atlanta, No, no, no, no, no,
We're gonna go somewhere else. I want to go somewhere
somebody think I'm a superstar.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
You know what I'm saying. Atlanta, I'm just average. That's up,
brus man. You know they see me.

Speaker 4 (01:16:18):
But I go somewhere like Chicago, Texas. Oh my god,
that's why I want to go in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (01:16:24):
It's my city.

Speaker 8 (01:16:24):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
I still live there. And uh, I had a place
in la for like thirty years. La, just la.

Speaker 4 (01:16:30):
You pay, They make you pay for the weather, you
know what I mean? Everything is just so high. It's
just ridiculous, it is. I've got a couple more questions.

Speaker 9 (01:16:36):
You know, there's a stigma about black comedians wearing dresses
to be funny, having the wear addressed to get to
that next level.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
What's your thoughts on that? Well, you know, I'm gonna
be honest with you, man, I did it. I did it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:47):
It's funny you said that. I did a TV show
that I take one time never came out. It's called
Bruce Bruce Bounty Honors. I was a bounty hunter. I
played a bounty hunter. I played a preacher called Reverend
Get Money. It was a Reverend Get Money. And I
played a mother named Mother Marshall, where was crazy. But
Mother Marshall was a real lady in my church that
I mimic. I cop it off for and I also
played I did it in Indianapolis, and I did not

(01:17:10):
feel comfortable in that dress, you know what I'm saying
at all. And some people could do it. Some people
if it worked for you, do it. Flip Wilson did
it when he did jeral Deane. You know, because Flip
Willson Show was a variety show, which I love because
it wasn't a black show. It was a show for everybody,
and that's what people got to understand. But if they
want to dress up in a dress, do you think
you know? But that's not my thing. Tyler Peerr made

(01:17:32):
it big, he's one of the best. But to me,
I love Tyler Peerre. But Joe is funny than Tyler
peer Then my deal when he plays Joe. When he
plays Joe, Joe, it's funny. Joe had an oxygen tank
smoking with coughing, and I say, thank you Jesus, you
know what I'm saying. So when he plays Joe, Joe

(01:17:54):
is the funniest dude.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
That's just me. I think, Yeah, I love my deal,
but Joe's Oh my god, Joe, it's fright.

Speaker 9 (01:18:01):
And see it back then we used to see people
in the dresses or even see like when they used
to do men on film on a living color it
was just funny.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Thought nothing of it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:09):
Men on film was the thing. When they talked about
moby Dick, Moby Dick that gets two snaps and a
kiss and around about twist. Yeah, the twist, Yeah, why
do you have to say your name twice. Ill my
momma just call me twice. My mama said, if I
call you the third time, I'm gonna kid. So my

(01:18:32):
mother said, if I call you three times, you're gonna
die today. And my mother was a little one about
one forty. I mean she was just but loving and
knew how to make a way out of no way.
Most mothers do. That's why it's always good when you
do get successful and you start making money, make sure
you take care of mom. And one thing you got
to realize it don't take much like you think it does.

(01:18:53):
People think like, well, I got to do it. Your
mama don't want that much. She just want to make
sure she's okay, she's comfortable, and she got a little money.
My mother the last twenty years of her life. I
made sure she was straight, didn't pay no bills, nothing.
But it didn't take much. But then when your family
members found out about it, they started trying to use
you too. You know, my mom, I'm going through something.
Well that's your mother, this one is mine.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
Let you have it.

Speaker 5 (01:19:18):
It's Bruce Bruce.

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
We've been trying to get Bruce Bruce up here for
a minute.

Speaker 9 (01:19:20):
Man, because you know I've always just respected you as
a as a comedy legend.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
Man, you an icon, so saluting respect.

Speaker 5 (01:19:28):
It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, wake up Wao. You're
like into the breakfast club morning everybody. It's DJ NV
just Larry Charlamage the guy. We are the breakfast Club.
