(02:57):

front page news. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk
about this gorilla glue thing gone wrong. Another man has
ended up in the er and tell you what this
has to do with gorilla glue. He earned it. I mean,

(03:19):
today's might as well just be a Judas in the
Black Side. There. We're playing songs off the soundtrack too. Yes,
we're gonna started off with this. This is a song
everybody's been asking about. I think it was the track
listing was leaked a couple of days ago. This is
jay Z Nipsey Hustle. What it feel like? What it
feel like? Credible? We're gonna be playing this every hour
on the hour. So feels like r I P to

(03:51):
the Big krypt Nip Beautiful black Man taking from us
too soon. Can't help but listen to that record and
feel happy, sad. Also, Sean Carter the greatest c of
all time? Right at this point, it's not debatable, right,
I didn't never debate on that. Who did you debate
that with you? I mean, I mean we all have
our favorite, right, I'm like, my favorite is ghost Face, right,
it's my favorite rapper of all times. Whole is in

(04:12):
my top five. Hole is my favorite. But if you're
being objective, you would have to say he's the greatest
of all time. My opinion hands there. But I wonder
if we grade Whole want a curve because he's fifty one,
and in hip hop we don't think someone should still
be great at that age. I wonder, No, I think
he did his damn thing in his twenties. I think
he did his damn thing in his thirties. I think
he did his thing in his forties. Be still barn

(04:33):
people up, still born people up. Yeah, all right, well,
let's get in some front page news where we starting you? Well,
you know today is the last day with House impeachment managers. Uh,
first of all, they finalized presenting their case and they
are they adjourned yesterday until noon today, and so right

(04:54):
now the defense is going to be making their case
and then that should be it. Now let's talk about
Jamie Raskin, the lead impeachment manager. He thanked the members
of the Senate for the close attention and seriousness of
purpose that they demonstrated during their presentations and said this,
The question here is not whether President Trump committed a
crime under the Federal Code or DC law or the

(05:17):
law of any state. Impeachment does not result in criminal penalties.
Impeachment was created for a purpose separate and distinct from
criminal punishment. It was created to prevent and deter elected
officials who swear an oath to represent America but then
commit dangerous offenses against our republic. That's a constitutional crime.

(05:43):
I don't know what he's saying, because it sounds like
a lot of legal jogging. I don't understand what it
sounds like. He's saying Trump should be in jail. Well,
he's saying, this is not criminal, This will not result
in him ending up in jail. This is an impeachment
child that has to do with politics, So this has
nothing to do well, yeah, a crime, but this is
not a criminal case. So that's something that would have

(06:04):
to be done federally, this says. So that's a whole
other situation, all right. So right now, defense attorneys are
arguing there's no direct link between actions of the rioters
and Donald Trump, and so that's what they're trying to say.
But I think the best witnesses are the actual rioters themselves,
because they use a lot of their video footage and

(06:26):
a lot of them that got arrested what they had
to say, and a lot of them were saying basically,
they were doing what they thought the president wanted them
to do. They thought they were acting on behalf of
Donald Trump. So right, so some people feel like some
Republicans feel like it's not legal to even be having
this proceeding right now because Donald Trump's not in office.
So that's their easy way out of having to make

(06:47):
a decision. They feel like this isn't even legal all
right now. A man in Louisiana ended up visiting the er.
He felt like he should disprove the claims about guerrilla glue,
and he went ahead and put it on his lip.
Is Len Martin recording himself unpaceful. I'm gonna gorilla glue
right here. I'm gonna take it, thrill his cup, put
in my mouth and don't be licked and get at all.

(07:09):
It's easy. That's good for his ass. That's right. He
earned it. And if you didn't want to talk to
your woman on Valentine's Day, just say that, bro, you
ain't had to put gorilla glue on your goddamn lips.
People so stupid because we're living in a stupid society.
I don't know when we're gonna understand that. He ended
up in the ear. He had to undergo what he
described a painful peeling at the hands of doctors. He

(07:32):
was informed that if his wound doesn't help properly, he'll
need to have a surgical procedure with the tip of
his lip will be removed. To drop on a clues
bombs for stupid. Ye, that's like saying well, I can't
sleeps let me crazy glue my eyelids together so I
can sleep a little longer. Man, Why are your lips?
Why not? Why not do something that you know you
don't have to use every day? Why I knew your
big toe together until you're told next to it? You

(07:53):
know what I'm saying. Look like you got a little
webtoes or something that would have been easy. Why are you?
Why are your lips? Of all things? And why did
he feel it need to get online and trying to
prove that girl wrong? That's y'all problem. Y'all. See people

As to breakfast Club, good morning, this is your time
to get it off your chests. Whether you're Man or
blast so Peo better have the same in we want
to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello. Who's

(12:35):
this hey? Good morning Heavy, Good morning, Charlotte Man, Good
morning Angela, Happy Friday. What's happening on? Hey? So, I
want to talk about that jay Z verse. I know
Charlomagne was talking about whether or not we judge day
Z on the curb. I think back in the day
we used to talk about hip hop being like a
young man's sport, it's not no more man's hip hop.

(12:56):
You American up hip hop is is is all American
right now, and it's a popular culture. Though I don't
think we should be looking at it as a young
man's sport anymore, because back in the day when it
was a young culture, we could say that. But it's
become American culture, right, so we can't. We gotta look
at JAYZ in the same category like the Who and

(13:16):
the Rolling Stones and all that. He's a legend and
we can't compare him to the young boys, but we
can't just say it's the young boys sport anymore. It's
evolved into anybody could do it at any time, as
long as you do it from the heart. Agree, you know,
jay Z legend number one, MC got MC of all
time and that verse. I don't know when jd Rapp,

(13:37):
I feel like you's sucking to me all the time.
It's a scripture. It's a scripture. He puts my he
puts my thoughts in perspective, like when he said, you
let them cracking storm your capital, put their feet up
on your desk, and yet you're talking tough to me.
I lost all my little respect. That's how I'd be
feeling when I'd be like, man, I feel like democrats
are cowards. Republicans and cowards, you know what I mean.
It's like, but they want to talk tough to us,

(13:58):
but you let them for run up in your capital.
When to put their feet up, ball in your desk? Yep?
Come on, man, Hello, who's this yo? Everybody was going
on man, mellow, mellow? What up? Man getting off her chest? Mellow?
All right? First things first, all the beautiful ladies out there.
I don't care. He's got a Valentine and not happy
Valentine's Day, you know what I mean. That's first things first.
And second of all, I need everybody stopped hunting my

(14:21):
god with Charlotte because he really looked like Morris Chestnuts
for rever listen, brother getting into heaven, I said, Morris Chestnut. Nah,
I mean if he looked I mean, he looked like
Morris Chestnut if he was too expensive on Amazon. So
you trying to go to Wish and you that's that's
what you're gonna get, yo. Yo, My heaven revoked. See

(14:42):
you got into heaven and then you got your call.
You got revoked, yo. But no, I got a proposition
for you. Because I thought I looked like Trey Storm.
Somebody said I looked like Trey Romes. So I'm thinking,
you know what I mean? You look like Morris Left.
I looked like Trey Romes. We can start a singing
group called boys to nick Man, we can really take boys.
Boys didn't listen. I'm gonna be honest with you. I

(15:06):
didn't say I looked like Marks chesting up the screech.
Didn't know you did. Hello, this is the undisputed w
m DC. Good morning, enjoy Harry got snack Man. Now,
people who don't know if you just joined the snack
Man as a comedian's first comedian a god man, tell

(15:27):
you joke now that the CDC has suggested that we
wear two masks. Yo, I'm not mad. Ever since I've
been of age, I have always double bagged it. Yo.
King you got a social distance from comedy, bro like
you gotta like like you should just you should just
social distance. I mean as far away from comedy as possible,

(15:47):
not even six feet like twelve eighteen maybe twenty four.
That was one of his better ones. It wasn't trash.
It made sense, elease, I didn't make sense. There was
like a beginning middle of that. Normally he just kind
of leaves us side clu. It always leaves us like
I don't want to hit the punchline. I just want
him to get punched. Get it off your chest? Eight

(16:09):
hundred five, eight five, one oh five, what we got
rumors on the way. Yes, And since we're doing comedy,
let's talk about Dave Chappelle. He puts something out overnight
and this Redemption song. Yes he did, and he started
off talking about the cowards who had something to say
about his him getting coronavirus. All right, we'll get into
that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Go more. Listen, just

(16:31):
stand Oh gosh, got report got Breakfast Club? All right, Well,
Young Blue had some issues with Tory Lane's remixing his
song Your Mind still featuring Drake. Listen to this, I
always day weekend change listen, don't facing she got my

(16:54):
heartbeat risten that same time, don't go me because you
mist and I don't want to let you man me.
Pretty face, pretty tiding. We heard a song on the
pretty taught me all the lessons. He played a lot

(17:17):
of it. Yeah, So Young Blue did not appreciate Tory
Lane's and not reaching out to him, tagging him or
nothing like that. Here's what he said. I hope he
ain't take you long to record that song. I hope
he ain't spend a lot of money twil hours of
studio recording that song, because soon you upload YouTube, come
straight down. So go get your money back, Go get

(17:38):
a refund, go get a receipt. Well, you didn't tag me,
you didn't show the lord man. Don't get it by life. Hey,
I agree with Young Blue because you should cite your source,
especially with a young artist. Yeah, with a young artists, absolutely,
because it's I'm gonna tell you why. It's folks out
there who who don't know who Young Blue is, you
know what I mean? But they know Tory Lane. They
might hear that song and be like, oh, that's Tory

(17:59):
Lane's record. It's like, no, it's Young Blue record. Give
the young man some credit. If he was an older,
more established artist that people know, I would understand the
jacket for beat. But just to take a young artist
song and not at least say what up Young Blue
or something? Nah, he's a top ten artist and artist's
been doing it since hip hop was created. Somebody puts
out a record and somebody does a freestyle over it.
You do it all the time. I've heard just Tory

(18:20):
every artist. I've heard that record, but I don't know
Young Blue. I had a record on the radio, but
I don't know who that is. What does that mean?
Jay Z has done a whole mixtape taking people's beats. Yes,
Gods has done it. You know change all right? Well,
well Young Blie and his team had had that song
taken down and he can do that. And then he
tweeted tag me and I put it back. I'm a

(18:42):
real and word at Tory Lanes and Tory Lanez had
at Young Blue. Crazy thing is. I love your music
and your song. That's why I remixed it. You're an
incredible artist and I've been listening to you since. Unappreciated,
but he felt some sort of way we can just
talk like men over a phone and not social media.
Love bro, So Drake has done it many times a
lot of people. The easiest thing to do is give
somebody some credit. I mean all all a young man

(19:04):
wanted was an add on Twitter. You know what I'm saying.
At least cite your source and say tell me the
original record is. Young Blue responded to that and said
I can't call you if I don't have your number.
G I don't want to beef. I like the record. Actually,
I just felt disrespected. You just saw me at Rolling
Loud tonight and ain't say a word to me. And
I even performed the song you said you like when
I took a pick with your artist. I go get

(19:24):
in my sprinter and see you remix my song and
ain't show love either. So I'm a real person. I
get offended. Send your jack let's talk like men. It's
on you. I'm leaving it alone though, but let's not
play victim gang. I don't never be on no cloud ish. Yeah,
I agree artists been jacking for years. But I do
agree with him. He's a young artist. He's on to
come up. People don't know him yet. Just to get
him in some credit, get him a shout out. Ot

(19:45):
Genesis did it. Mary J. Blige just done it, Like
that's what the hip hop is about. Just I think
it yourself out like I just saw you tonight and
you ain't saying nothing rollout Loud. What's happening, I guess.
So I don't think it's nothing wrong giving a young
boy credit, all right, now, let's talk about Dave Chappelle.

(20:08):
Overnight he put out a Redemption song and it's a
new ten minute clip. You know, he has this deal
with Netflix and he's been putting out all kinds of content,
and he's been performing in Austin, Texas. I think they
just closed out all their shows in Austin. Dave Chappelle
did end up getting coronavirus. You know, he's been doing
these shows in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and then he moved
it over to Austin with Joe Rogan, and he started

(20:31):
it off talking about getting coronavirus. And I just tried
to find a way that I could work. You see
what we've been doing, all of you who had didn't
endure this invasive test on were these masks just so
we could be out and hang out and be together.
I tried and if all these months, after doing all
all these shows, God David, my number was up, and

(20:51):
then I had the rona all when I said I
had the coronavirus, the overwhelming majority of people wished me, well,
we hope you get better, take care of yourself. We
don't want anything bead to happen to you. But there
was a faction of people who said, you see that day, Chappelle,
that's why we stay inside where its safe. Well, enjoy yourselves, mother,

(21:15):
because I'm better now, all right, And then he goes
on to talk about actually like quarantine shaming a little bit,
But well, I think like quarantine shaming just a little bit,
you know what I mean, Just because people want to
follow see see gudelines and stay in the house, that's fine, Yeah,
you know what I mean. I think I think he

(21:35):
was talking about people that were like, ha ha, you
see you see. But he's saying that he's from months
done this. He's you know, gotten people tested to even
attend his shows. They socially distanced at the shows. Anybody
that participates and activities with him has to get tested
before they come, get tested twice a day. And he
dared what he could. Yeah, but he's proved that even
if you take profitable cautions, you can still get it.
But even so, that don't mean that, you know, even

(21:56):
if you still want to stay in the house, that's
still fine, right, But yes, he had an issue with
people who didn't just say hey, we wish you well.
There were people that were like, good for you, ha ha,
and well that's how we felt. And so anyway, he
goes on to talk about his show, The Chappelle Show
coming back to Netflix. Here's what he said. I never
asked Comedy Central for anything. If you remember, I said,

(22:18):
I'm going to my real boss, and I came to you.
I asked you to stop watching the show, and thank
God Almighty for you you did. You made that show
worthless because without your eyes, it's nothing. And when you
stopped watching it, they called me and I got my

(22:38):
name back, and I got my license back, and I
got my show back and they paid me millions of dollars.
Thank you very much. I mean, there was no doubt
that he wouldn't get a show back. I mean, he's Dave,
mother f and Chappelle. And I'm also very happy that
he saluted Chris McCarthy to drop on a clues bons

(23:00):
for Chris McCarthy. If you watch the you know the
whole thing he shouted like Chris McCarthy. Chris McCarthy as
a guy who gave me my first ever overall deal
in TV. And he's an executive who gets it. Not
only does he have a great out for talent, more importantly,
he always wants to do what's right by people. I
love that guy. We need more executives like him, and
he's got seven women on his senior management team. Pluton,
I think he and if you watch a Chappelle was

(23:21):
also saying that people were telling him he was never
gonna get his show back and there was nothing they
could do about it. For those people who don't know
the business then, and they don't know the leverye Dave
Chapelle has and they don't know the powers that be
that are in position now at CBS Viacom, because if
they actually knew Chris McCarthy, they would know, yes, they
would get his show back, and Dave got the power
at this point, he's in the power position position. Right.

(23:43):
He tell people not to watch it, and like he said, financially,
it didn't make sense for them. If nobody's gonna watch
the show, doesn't make sense to put it on. And
more correctly, I'm telling you Chris McCarthy will always do
what's right. If you know Chris McCarthy didn't, then you
know that that's what that's the type of stuff he
fights for. All right, Well that is your rumor report,
all right. Now, when we come back, we got front

(24:05):
page news. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about
Casey Goodson's junior. Now we've had his mom and his
attorney and his mom's attorney. I'm previously he was shot
and killed by police and then back as he was
entering his own home. They are gonna give us an update.
And I want you guys to really pay attention to
this because it's heartbreaking to hear. And the police officer
who's shot and killed him is still working, still has

(24:26):
his job, all right, So we'll talk to him next.
And then every hour on an hour, we're playing this
Nipsey jay Z joint. What it feels like to get
your ass up. It's the Breakfast Local Morner and this
is what it feels like, all right. That was what
it feels like. Nipsey Hustle and jay Z off the
Jewish and the Black Messiah soundtrack. Tell me that's not
a hard ball. When jay Z says you're letting cracking

(24:48):
storm your capital, put their feet up on your desk,
and yet you talking tough to me, I lost all
my little respect. That's how I feel about in Cowards, Yes,
And you know, jay Z never gets bad like like
you know, people say, yoh, when orders get old. No, no,
And that's what I'm saying, not at all. It's like
Tom Brady, right like you you know Tom Brady is great,

(25:08):
but you appreciate him more because he's forty three. Correct.
You don't expect him to still be doing what he's
doing at forty three, just like you don't expect Hold
to still be doing what he's doing at fifty one.
That's only because the rappers we saw before him that
age were so whack. You know, they got bad, they
got terrible without bad, Yes, they got bad for whatever
reason he has it and not just spoiled. Look at

(25:31):
he's he's not the oldest. Think about scarf face. Scarf
face is still phenomenal. Scar Face still get business. No,
plenty of rappers over forty still phenomenal. Nas rights to
five nine, but you know, jee a lot of rappers
before they still get busy. Yeah, all right, anyway, well
let's get in some front page news. We're doing a
different this morning. Yeah, and I feel like this is
an important story that we do really need to highlight

(25:51):
because I haven't seen much activity around the killing of
Casey Goodson Junior. So we are going to have his mother,
Tamla Paine, and his attorney, Shaan Walton give us some
updates on what's happening. The officer who shot and killed
Casey Goodson, who was only twenty three years old, still
has his job, and they're going to talk about what
they know about the killing of Casey Goodson Junior and

(26:13):
where they are right now with the investigation. Yeah, quick update.
He was coming home from the dentist, walking in into
his house and the officers shot him five times. He
had illegal gun on him, legally owned gun on him,
and now let's talk to the mom and attorney. Good morning.
Thank you again for having us. You know, we respect
and appreciate this platform so much. And Tamerla insisted that

(26:37):
she wanted to talk to her friends as we released
more information. So you know, we appreciate you guys uplifting
Casey Gudson's name that we know now more than ever
that Casey Gudson, Jr. Was an innocent black man who
was murdered by Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Jason me on
December four of twenty twenty. And we didn't know before.

(26:58):
We thought that he was shot in in the back
a few times. Casey's grandmother and saw three gunshots. But
we've spoken with the county corner that performed the autopsy
in case he was shot in his back six times,
five times in his back and once in his butt
with a high powered rifle. And he was shot through
his screen door as he walked into his own home.

(27:19):
He was shot from behind. His keys were in the door,
he had subway in his hand, and so it was
a cold blooded execution and Casey was murdered and the
world needs to know that. Yeah, and I see now
that there could potentially be some federal charges. Is that true? Yeah,
So the Department of Justice and the FBI have been
leading this investigation because the ball was dropped early on

(27:40):
by the local police, and so the fairs have been investigating,
and they may bring federal charges, they may bring state charges,
but they had been in consistent communication with us, and
so we understand that they're pursuing the truth, and the
truth is going to lead to the understanding that Casey
was murdered. So, yeah, they are spaghetti and they could

(28:01):
bring subtle charges. How are you doing, How are you
holding up? How is everything with you? I mean, I'm
doing as well as I can really. As I stated before,
I don't really really allow myself to feel right now,
I feel like if I allow myself to feel, and
I can't fight. And my whole everyday purposes to fight
for justice, because, as Sean said, Kathy wasn't murdered, he

(28:23):
was executed. I've seen the picture of my son's back.
He blew a chunk out of my son's back. He
had sermons where he talks about hunting people and uses
his platform as a pastor to describe police brutality, so
to speak. And he's bragged about how he hunts people

(28:45):
and he throws the first punch. And unfortunately, on that day,
he definitely hunted my son and he killed him in
cold blood, you know, and I want justice. I mean,
my son was a twenty three year old man. He's
never been in troubling the law. He was a family man,
he didn't club, he's never I mean, he was a
good kid. He didn't deserve this. He was coming home
from the dentist. You know. When the case first started,

(29:07):
we thought he was only shot three times in the
back because there were three boot holes in the screen door.
So the assumption was there were three shots to his back,
but there's five shots. There's five shots to the back
and one to his button. I've seen every shot. I
did sit down with the corner and a pathologist that
performed the autop DNA twain every bullet one to me
in great deep Still he hit basically every organ my

(29:30):
son has. It's just, I mean, it's no way to
explain how I feel other than in fact I want
him in jail. The man still has a job. He's
still employed. To this day is day sixty eight, and
he still has a job. He shouldn't have been on
the assignment he was on in the first place because
of his extensive rutger as a shirt deputy. He was

(29:54):
involved in an altercation in two thousand and eighteen that
left two men dead. He was involved in another shooting.
He was on a no contact order with inmates where
he worked. Where where your job is to work with
the MMA, he couldn't even have contact with him, So
he shouldn't have been on the apogement that he was
on the day that he was on it that led
to my son's murder in the first place, and then

(30:14):
he still has a job after sixty eight days. You know,
he still has a job. He hasn't been arrested. You know,
he doesn't deserve a job. And that's the officer, Jason Meade,
who you're speaking on. I want to flash back to
what you said. So I saw there was a video
or something that he was posting where he was talking
about using religion to justify brutality. Is that what you

(30:35):
were referencing earlier. Yes, he made a signment. I actually
listened to it for the first time the other day.
I've heard about altbred some of the things that he said,
but the first time I actually listened to the video
was Saturday. To be honest with you, and yes, in
the video, he definitely says he hunts people. He stated
that the people that I hit you wish you could

(30:57):
hit too, and this congregation laugh. He bragged about his
colleague and his supervisors being a part of the congregation.
They were all asking and charing and clapping him all.
He also said he throws the first punch. He doesn't
wait for the first puns to be thrown. He thrown
was the first punch. So yeah, he used it to
brag about police brutality and basically killing innocent black man.

(31:19):
It's clear, no, no. As far as this case, what's
the what's next now? One is the immediate termination of
Jason meet you know, calling for that and also his
arrest and pushing for that, keeping that pressure on. You know,
there's no video, but what we know is that the
physical evidence shows that he was hunted and he was killed,
and there's no justification for so calling for meats termination,

(31:41):
holding his sheriff's office accountable, as well as holding the
Department of Justice accountable for prosecuting him. Also, we're going
to have a website, um Justice for Casey Goodson junior
dot com. It's going to aggregate all this information and
keep and keep folks updated on calls to action and uh,
you know, making sure that this and die down. As
we know with George Floyd and Eric Garner and others,

(32:04):
seeing video is something that has lifted those names up.
But in cases like Brianna Taylor, it's to push from
the people across the country that gets justice and those
officers still weren't in diets. We want to make sure
that we have justice here, we have a conviction, and
that we normalize the conversation around black people and guns.
That's really important. It's perfectly normal for people like Katy

(32:26):
to be lawful gun owners and even myself and anybody
anybody else in this country, and that can't be a
death sentence or Tama Lapaine, attorney Shaan L. Walton, thank
you for checking in and just give us any updates
anytime something pops up. Please yeah, always welcome. We definitely
want to make sure we keep everybody in form. Thank you,
thank you, thank you all all right, well, thank you

(32:46):
Tama La Paine, Thank you to Sean Walton. It brings
tears in my eyes every time I have to think
about a mother not being able to see her son anymore.
He did nothing wrong. He was going into his home correct,
holding a bag of subway sandwiches. And if you follow
her on Instagram, is painful just to see all the
things that she's posting. You know, she has other children
as well, and like she said, she didn't want to

(33:06):
put out the picture of him because she doesn't want
her kids to have to see that. But it's things
like that I think that finally will motivate people to
have the empathy they need to have for this woman.
Absolutely all right, we lat is your front page news now.
When we come back Daniel Kaluya will be joining us.
You know him from get Out, you know from Black Panther,
and we're gonna be kicking it with him, all right,

(33:27):
so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.
Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
the building on the line right now, Daniel Kaluya. Welcome,
brother Yo, thanks for having mem Nice to see you guys.
Have you ever I don't think you've ever been here
in person? Have you? Have you? Daniel? Good to meet

(33:50):
you over zoom man. But to me, Tima have enjoyed
you in several projects. You've been attached to some really
great movies. I mean, of course Get Out, Black Panther
and now Judith in The Black Messiah, which I you know,
I don't want to put too much sauce on it.
I just think it's a phenomenal film first and foremost
so so what made you want to do this film? What? What? What?

(34:11):
What feature interest on this film? It was Ryan and
Zinzi Kogler on a set of Black Panther on the
reshoots pulled me to the side and they were just like,
I were making a film about Chairman Fred. I was
speaking about that, and then I was like, and then
they were speaking that Lakeith was a part of it,
mckith Stanfield and Shaky King was directing, and they told
they told me about their intentions and their reasons for

(34:32):
doing it. I just it just really spoke to me,
re resonating with me. And then a lot of things
happened because I was in the middle of to get
out press room at that time. So I sat down
with Shaka in New York and I read the script
literally the first script I read after the Oscars. First
script I read was Judis in Black Missile, and I
just said, yeah, I'm in What did they say were
the intentions behind doing it about UNI? It's about bringing

(34:55):
people together, talking about how Chairman Fred was this beacon
and he just broke people together and that's what we
want people to do out there, you know. And I
just read that really spoke to me. Did you know
much about the character beforehand or did you have to
study or Chairman Fred? I knew. I knew bits and pieces,
you know here and now hearing conversations and stuff. I

(35:15):
remember one I was played somewhere and I was like, oh,
saw the date that he was born in a date
he was assassinated. And I was like, well, wait, hold on,
that can't be right. I was like, what that can't
be right? How old was held? What's going on? And
then and I was googling, and I was like, he
can't have been twenty one. Not only that he was
assassinating the twenty one, but he made it to be
chairman of the Internet chapter of the Black Pipe of

(35:37):
Party by twenty one. I was just like, that's that's incredible,
you know, And I just on that day, I remember
I went on it. I was like, yo, I need
to do a real read on all that stuff when
I got time. And then luckily I was blessed to
have this opportunity. Yeah, he was assassinated on December four,
of jay Z's born day. You know, I'm listening to
you talk man, and I will always be intrigued by
British actors who can make their accents go away for

(35:59):
certain roles. I'm from South Carolina and I can't get
rid of this accent to save my life. Ever, how
how is it, how are y'all able to do that?
That's what Bro. It's like, it's like it's like you're
gonna You're gonna get I mean, it's like if you're
like being a vessel for Chairman Fred, you're just going.
You can't even approach it with your accident, you know
what I'm saying, with your experience, you have to kind
of surrender, let yourself go. You're understanding, and then it's

(36:22):
kind of just come to it, you undersaying, and when
you come to it, you have to adopt these not
only speech ribbons, but foot rhythms. You're saying. It's like
you have to think in a way in that space,
think in that space, and then your speech changes. You
can't think like a brother from London, you know what
I'm saying. You can't think like you're looking at it.
So it's kind of like a it's a scenario surrendering,

(36:43):
you know. You know the story of the Black Panthers
has been so misconstrued, like people try to compare the
Black Panthers to the KKK. Knowing this, did you feel
extra pressure to make sure that they were portrayed correctly. Yeah,
you know that that comparison is just laced and based
in white fear and white anxiet, you know, because it
doesn't it doesn't make no sense to compare the Black

(37:04):
Panther Party, an organization that was providing free healthcare and
breakfast program kids and educating kids, to another group that
lynches black people. And I'm saying, it's like, that's not
even you know, it's so it's h Like I said,
we're just navigating white fear and white anxiety and we're

(37:24):
kind of pushing it to the side and saying, Yo,
this is from our perspective, this is the truth. You know,
this is actually what they did, This is what they
had to go through, and then that they still loved themselves,
and then that they still loved the Black commu community
and poured love into the black community. Did they teach
you a lot about the Black Panthers in the UK?
Because even growing up in New York, they really didn't
teach us much about the Black Panthers, Like, you know,

(37:45):
they they would teach us about Martinlauke, the King, drips
and drabs of Malcolm X, very little about the Panthers.
So did you learn much about the Panthers growing up
in the UK? You know, it is at school we
did the civil rights movement at school, and it was
it was a lot of Montgomery bus Boycott, lot on
Rosa Parts, a lot on Martin Luther King, and then
mentioned of Malcolm X and then skipp to JFK and

(38:07):
you know, and then it's just like John saying, it's
kinda like and then I remember, I just see the
other day, like a couple of weeks ago, I was
looking at my old school papers, and I saw that
there was like this printed like kind of typed up
or kind of sections, and I had written the Black
Panther Party in the middle of something, in the middle
of it. In my writing, I'm probably like a thirteen fourteen,
so it was in passing, you know. But then when

(38:28):
you're when you're a young black man navigating the Western construct,
you're gonna attract those kind of ideas. If you love yourself,
if if you wanted to empower yourself, the Black Panther
Party is going to arrive to you. And so it
came to me in natural ways and conversations or in
watching things or taking an art and like you're just
taking a lot of stuff. That's how it kind of
came to me. And I educated myself on it by myself,

(38:50):
like I read a Starter's book like that was just
me doing stuff in my spare time, you know, because
it was stuff that I would that cared about. How
do you think a movie like Judea's in the Blackness
Diet is relevant as far as what's going on in
the world today, Like could you see Fred Hampton existing?
Do you know anybody that's like that to try to
bring together all different groups of people to fight against

(39:10):
police brutality. There is the probably is Chairman Fred out there,
you know, And that's what it is about Judas and
Black Side. We're trying to show that this man is
a human being. You know that you have the capacity.
Anyone out there has the capacity to go out there
and support their community, you know, and and empower their
own to free themselves. You know. But in terms of
like how it's like today, I feel Chairman Fred and

(39:33):
Black Panther Party and through this film just articulating how
a lot of people are feeling right now. You see
it we largely with the murders of George Floyd and
Brianna Taylor, And the response to that is that, like
this film articulates how people are feeling and what to
do about it, you know, because I have one of
my favorite sayings is do something, start small, start local,

(39:53):
keep going. You know what I'm saying. And I feel
it's that it's like decentralized empowerment. You know, that's how
phil It's about, Yo, Let's take the power for ourselves
and empower people around us. I mean, there's a lot
of brothers and sisters out here doing the work right now,
and we may have a Fred Hampton type figure in
our miss now, but we just don't appreciate them, like
the Tamica Mallory's, the Philip bag News. They bring people together,

(40:16):
they fight against police brutality. But you know his history
always tells a different story after people are gone. Yeah,
that's one I'm saying to say, Charloman, why don't we
empower and put those people up in the platform now
because they're out there. It's like they're just doing the work.
They're on the front line. Sometimes like real change is quiet,
and it's it's like like, yo, let's let's put our

(40:37):
attention towards them. Let's empower them. Let's put all resources
towards those people. They are in Carolina, are in like
New York, the are in in Oakland that aren't doing
the work. You know, all we have more with Daniel
Caluya when we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club,
Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne
the guy. We are the breakfast club. We're still kicking

(40:58):
it with Daniel Caluya. So let me ask you a question.
What's the racial climate in the UK? I mean it's
a similar, similar dynamic. I mean, and people need to
be I think people need to be clear that the
root of all ideas is usually in the language that
people speak. So the fact that like we are all
on this cool speaking English, because the construct that we
are all navigating as like in terms of like racism

(41:21):
in this towards black people is rooted in England. You know,
they came over and they did what they did. So
in England it's a climate is different because it's their land.
There's there is a conflict. There is there is a conflict,
but it is subtle. You know, there isn't there isn't
an insecurity that they stole it, but there is there
is police brutality. I mean you can see it in
Mark Duggan. You know, that's kicked off the twenty eleven

(41:42):
London riots and his murder. There's so many black figures
and black people who have been killed by They've just
been they've just been murdered by the police, and they've
been risings and you know the Brixton riots in the eighties,
there's been so there's the battle is still going on
within England as well. What do you say the critics
who say roles like Fred Hampton should go to Black

(42:04):
Americans only. I listened to them. I'm not trying to
say anything to them because i feel like I'm in
a position where I'm about union in the in the diasporal,
you know. But if someone's feeling like what, I'm gonna
listen saying I'm gonna find how can we come together?
And if that's how they feel, it's been a history
of people ignoring and dismissing what African American people with

(42:25):
feeling and what they're expressing. I'm not gonna contribute to
that culture. I'm not in the business. It's the reality.
So if they're feeling the way, they're gonna listen, I'm
gonna say ya, I'm here to unite. And if they
feel like yeah, I don't want to unite with you.
That's been cool. You also got to reunite with the
character William or Neill play with Diala Keith scan Field.
Obviously you guys worked on Get Out Together. And I
want to ask you what you think about what he

(42:48):
had to do because he's the one that infiltrated the
Black Panther Party and Judas and the Black Messiah, and
I just think like, we'll give it too much away. Now,
you give it a lot of way, but it's called
Judas and the Black Syre, and the whole movie is
about how this guy infiltrated the Black Panther Party, So
I don't think it's a secreted a true story. Yeah.
So I just wanted to ask you when you think

(43:09):
about what he did right as that character, is there
any redemption you can find for somebody like that, because
the whole movie I just can't being like I can't
stand him. Yeah, I mean the stuff I read that
he did after that was just you know, he killed himself. Yeah,
well not even that's how he carried on in the
area and what he did to that community. But for me,

(43:31):
it's just to be clear that he is, uh who
you know, you know, it's like it's like he's a
it's the FBI, you know, like it's the it's that
he is being used I people, And I think what
you what you see in this film is the danger
of not caring, the danger of apathy, how like, and

(43:53):
the danger of self preservation. And you think you're preserving
yourself taking carry yourself, taking, carry yourself, taking, carry yourself.
And it led to him destroy himself because and its
whole community. He destroyed the whole movement. But the movement
can't be destroyed, Andrew, it can't be destroyed. And Fred
saying it can't be destroyed. That's why people out there
last last year, right and not there's people out there

(44:14):
out on the front line. We just it's just not
the topic that we're talking about right now. But the
movement cannot be destroyed. Ever, have you ever experienced the
type of betrayal by one of your own that Fred
Hampton experienced in regard to the William O'Neil. No, probably,
I don't know. I would have to think about that.
I don't know that he's getting into therapy land. I'm

(44:36):
sure you needed some therapy after this role, because that's
an intense role because you had to take on the
trauma of a whole generation, the trauma of a whole movement.
I'm sure you had to do some therapy to get
that out. You. Yeah, I had to look at myself.
I had to really look at myself, and I was
blessed I have the pandemic. You know, I really just
sit down. The first time I probably sat still since
probably know it's like twenty fifteen. It was a lot

(44:58):
to take and a can see that, like how I
access characters, I abandoned myself and I don't advise anyone
to do that. You know, I'm saying, it's um, there's
a way that you can get what you want whilst
taking care of yourself and loving yourself at the same time.
But you know, sometimes you kind of go, well, this
is all I have, especially when you come from not
a lot, not a lot of money, not a lot
of anything, that you're gonna use yourself as raw materials

(45:20):
you're saying, But you don't realize you're burning yourself like
a raw material, you know what I'm saying, instead of
enriching yourself and pouring into yourself whilst giving yourself. You know,
I had to look at that, and I'm still looking
at that. I like that phrase. You you you abandoned yourself,
like when during the role or after during during when
I creatively, I like a kind of I just I
do the habits of that person. So I'm waking up

(45:42):
listening to Michael Mets and I'm like waking up listen
to Martin Luther King's speeches. I am taking up smoking.
I am I'm in the space. I'm doing the thing
you're saying. I'm not me. I'm not living as me. Yeah,
I'm not doing like I'm living as how I feel
Chairman Fred was living in order to be in that
spiritual space, and then I would associate that to abandon me.
You know, I'm saying, and that's just not that's not cool.

(46:04):
I'm saying, that's not that method acting? Is that what
they can't? Method acting? I want to call that method acting.
I don't know method acts when you're in character all
the time, when I'm just hearing and I'm just like, Yo, Angela,
you call me Fred, that's it, call me chairman, that's it.
That's all I want to hear. Um. I don't really
do that, but for me, it's just like I just
want to It's like rituals, like triggers to consistently like, yeah,
this is you're in the space. You're in the space.
You're in the space. But I didn't. I don't know

(46:25):
if I took care of myself going into it, and
I don't think I took care of myself going out.
So I'm gonna look at my process. You know, how
do you get out of that? How do you get
out of it to get back to some type of norbusy.
It takes a well, my guy, it takes a well,
a lot of boss, a lot of taking care of yourself,
a lot of just like kind of catching yourself. What
I used to do is like I used to go
away for a week by myself, take my phone off,

(46:48):
and thought that that would reset me. But you know
what it is, I realized last year I'd carried everything
since get out, every role I've taken, I'd carried and
I hadn't said bye to it. I hadn't say bye
to it. It was in my body, you know, And
so I had to had to look at myself. When
you say you take baths, you put some salt in
that water man, nothing like a relaxing, salt bath, some
epsence and you know I put somethen some of him
and laying yeah, right with it. I get right with it,

(47:12):
making start up man bro right all we got more
with Daniel Caluya when we come back, don't move. It's
to breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is dj Envy
Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club.
You know him from get Out Black Panther and now

(47:34):
Judas in the Black Messiah were still kicking with Daniel
Kaloya yee. Did you talk to I'm Fred Hampton Junior
about this role. Also, we met the family. So I
went to Chicago before the shoot because I already wanted
to meet the family and we couldn't do that, couldn't
do it on that trip. And I went to Maywood
and went to his chairman friends, old school or homes,
everybody everywhere he went and where he used to speed cap,

(47:55):
spoke to people in Chicago, understood what just understood how
he how he felt to the people in Chicago. And
then later on we went to a trip and we
went to meet cham and Junior and Mama Korem Chamman,
Fred's partner and yeah, it was like a seven eight
hour meeting and it was real, saying it was real.
You know, he had views and saying I mean and
he kind of just looked to us and say, yo,

(48:17):
why are you doing this? And then why'd you do this?
You know, like I remember Mama Quid said, why did
you make up? You know what? What does it up
mean to you? You know, saying I found out stuff
about myself in that situation. But I didn't really sit
down with the families, go yo, you know, I don't
even engage with people like that, saying I engaged with
me on me this. I'm in a position I don't
want to come here and respect and reverence, understanding and

(48:38):
humility and I'm moved like that, saying I wouldn't want
to go. I don't I don't move in a way
that I want to take from black people from me.
You know, it's so interesting just this short conversation we've had,
I can tell that this role really impacted you in
a real way. And what have you realized about yourself
after playing the role of Fred Hampton. The power of love,

(49:01):
the power of loving yourself unapologetically in the face of
people that want you to like w I call it.
It's like in the face of fear dressed as hate.
It's the power of that I'm saying. And what the
fact that we're sitting here nearly fifty two years later
speaking back Chairman Fred is the power of self. Love
is the power of love, and your own is the

(49:22):
power of love, and your community. You know what I'm saying,
and that stuff. Who cares if you're celebrated in that way,
you know, as long as you're doing it, and that
will reverberate. I'm a firm believer. I don't try and
change the world. I try and change my world, and
then change my world. Then it reverberates to the world
I'm saying. So I kind of just see it like that.
I think it really, Yeah, it really. I had to

(49:43):
really look at myself. I had to really look at
my ideas. You have to look at it. I'm going
into this room reading this stuff like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
I can't look at I'm a product of his assassination
in that sense, I mean, in that fear of speaking up,
in that fear of telling the truth. At that time
in the late sixties, he didn't have that fit. They
didn't have that shame, They didn't come with that they

(50:03):
come do you mean? It's like so it's like really
looking at the fears that I had. You know what
I'm saying, I'm buying what are they They're just they're
just a way to empower them, empowered to with the
concept of white supremacy. What it's white supremacy? What hate
group is allowed to be called by their beliefs. That's
white privilege within hate. What I'm saying, it's like they're

(50:25):
white extremists. I don't call I don't believe white people
are supremo from me. That I'm saying, I need too
easy to look over that while I'm empowering them with
a belief that oppresses me. How can empower people that
don't like me? And I'm sense you feel me? I
need to really look at that. When you look at
the words I say, When you look at because my
body's listening, you feel me when you say stuff your
body listens to you. Did you find yourself looking at

(50:47):
Lukkeith differently after the way he played this role, because
he did it too well, he still got beef sharloming.
Is that was it? Is that? What was happening. I
never had an issue with him. I do feel like
he was born to play this role. Though, Wow, we're
not having that. We're not having that, we're not having

(51:07):
that way is yet in this film he makes the
biggest sacrifice sacrifice And in this film he's serving Chairman
Fred because in order to show you what Chairman Fred is,
you have to show him what he isn't. You can't
see the light without the dark, that's right, you know
what I'm saying. And he served that and he put
himself in a light that's not his politics at all.

(51:28):
You know, he doesn't that's not how he feels at all.
And it was really tough on him on certain dates.
I mean, he was really going through it as for
him to to not be aligned politically to O'Neil and
still give it his all and still humanize him in
order to show who Chairman Fred was, to show who
the Black Panther Party was. That's incredible and absolute, absolute
the key for that. Now he's doing an incredible job. Yeah,

(51:52):
I think all of yours special love answer to Dominique
true she wrote that poem. It's incredible. Director Gibson, Ashton, Sanders,
alg Smith Dominique Thorn killed this film, saying, there's so
many incredible people in this film, you know, Jesse Plemons,
It's like it's like it's a dream to be standing
amongst these kinds of people. Like it's like you're like, wow,

(52:14):
you look around, You're like, well, I'm just I'm so
proud to be here for me. Yeah, I don't think.
I don't think there's any black piece of art needs
validation from any of these award shows. But I would
love to see this film when all of the awards.
I think you and Lakeith need to be up for
Best Active, Best Supportant Act, or whatever it is. I
think it should be Best Picture. Like I think it
was that good. Yeah, you know what it isn't those recognizations,

(52:35):
recognizing organizations are away for more people to see it,
And that's the intention of film. You want this to
reach as many people as possible. I feel that this
is an entertaining film at the same time, Yeah, it's
got the politics complex ideas. This is entertaining. I watched
this my friends. I make films for my friends that
I grew up with, saying, so I really care about
things being you know, I'm a firm believe of accessible excellence,

(52:56):
you know, simple special Johnder saying, and it being accessible,
still reaching for like excellence in terms of craft, and
I feel like this is this is this is able
to reach the masses. Before this is the last question,
how would you define Fred Hampton's legacy? How do you
want this film to define Fred Hampton's legacy. It's about
being in what people choose to learn from it, in

(53:18):
what way people choose to move from it. It's how
I feel I want this film to impact. It's that
and also just being clear that this is a man
that had incredible ideas and really implement He executed these
ideas in turbulent times. You know, I'm saying, with a
breakfast program, with the health free healthcare, with the educating kids,

(53:38):
with the Rainbow Coalition. This man like really did it,
you know what I'm saying, and really tired about his
own And it's people understanding that and taking it in
and feeling that and wanting to read up on it
and wanted to learn more about it, want to empower themselves,
wanted to love themselves the way they see the Black
Pap Party loving themselves and loving their community. I want
that all right, appreciate you for Jordas. And what about

(54:00):
the soundtrack? And did you listen to the soundtrack and
you ride out to the soundtrack at Yeah, I've had
a couple of riddings, Bro, A couple of riddings are crazy,
A couple sound tracks a bit crazy, Bro, the soundtracks
a bit crazy, John saying that Nipsey jay Z that's
a that's A that's a that's a Newsy Bro. And
when you get really rich, you should buy a black
panther because it's something the universe is trying to tell
you about black panthers. You've been in the movie Black Panther.

(54:23):
Now you playing Fred Hampton. You should actually buy a
black panther the way Mike Tyson out a white Tige
as a pet. Buy a black panthers a pet. Yeah,
my mom really grew up in Africa. I don't know
what you feel about that. We have people people. Why
are you buying these people buying wild animals? My guy,

(54:43):
I'm buying wild animals. I'm cool about my God, I
supposed one for you. I could to shame a man.
It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, my big guys. Morning.
Everybody is d J Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.

(55:04):
We are to Breakfast Club on this Friday. What do
you guys do for Valentis? I'm just curious watching Judas
in The Black messire y'all should definitely go check that
movie out. All right. It's very triggering, very dark, but
it's a good movie to watch for the weekend, good
date night movie. What about your gear? I don't really
have any plans on Sunday. I'll just be home. You know,

(55:26):
my boyfriend doesn't live here. So all right, what what
you're doing? Another angle swap for COVID? Maybe? Okay? Do
that you need? You need your situation for the swap. No,
I'm good, Okay, I'm one tested. All right, well, yeah,
I got it. It is brown at the end. Let's

(55:46):
get to the rooms. Let's talk Morris's chestnuts. Okay. This
is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee Breakfast Club. Mars
Tessnat was talking to Timz about the new series The
Best Man the final chapters, and he discusses his character

(56:07):
Lance and what could be happening because remember his wife
in the movie actually die from was yeah, dying from cancer.
So here's what you can expect. The last time we
saw Lance, he was going through it emotionally and it
kind of ended there, so we kind of never really,
we never really saw how Lance really dealt with that loss.

(56:28):
I think in the in the series, you're going to
see how Lance deals with it emotionally, and sometimes he
may go a little bit overboard, but we'll have to
see that's him dealing with it. Does do we see
him move on to another love interest at all in
this upcoming series? That's a possibility. I am very excited
about the Best Man TV series. I'm happy they get
in ten episodes on NBC. Peacock all right. In another

(56:52):
series that's in the works is Ray has a new
show with HBO Max called rap Is Shows right and
to a half hour comedy. It's going to tell the
story of two alienated high school friends from Miami who
get together and assemble a rap group. And guess who
is going to be working on this the city's co
executive producers that said should happen months ago, drop on

(57:15):
a clues box with each Ray DAMMI Okay, Remember I
said that people were like, why you give people that
actually do TV chances and opportunities? No, that makes too
much sense. You're doing a TV show about a rap
group in Miami, a female rap group. Why wouldn't you
hilt to City Girls? Come on? All right? Also, the
label coach K and P from Quality Control will also

(57:36):
be involved as well. And she should cast Pretty V.
She should cast pretty Views from Miami. And Pretty V
would be a great on the show like that. I
don't know what role she would play. She could be
one of the main characters and not. I don't know,
but I just think Pretty V should be on that
show and show way shape or form shout out QC.
They do it a lot outside of just music. I
know they got a bunch of sports players that play
for the NFL. I know they're doing films. They're really

(57:58):
expanding their brand. I love to all right. Twitter has
confirmed and Donald Trump will never return now. The CFO
Ned Segal was on CNBC squawk Box and here's what
he said. So, the way our policies work, when you're
removed from the platform, you're removed from the platform, whether
you're a commentator or a CFO, or you are a

(58:20):
former or current public official. And so remember our policies.
You're designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence,
and if anybody does that, we have to remove him
from the service and our policies to allow people to
come back. That's a lie. Twitter, y'all don't get no
props for that. The four years that man was in power,
y'all did nothing. Yell should have had that same energy
four years ago. It is easy to do that when

(58:41):
he's not the president of the United States anymore, you
know what I mean. Should have did that when he
was in power. No props for that. And there's plenty
of people threatening death on on folks every single day
on social media. What are you talking about all right now?
A Krispy Kreme Donuts that was owned by Shack was
in flames early Wednesday, and they said the structure was

(59:02):
heavily damaged. Atlanta fire crews did respond to that Krispy
Creme on ponstantly on they said it's just unsalvageable right now.
So it was one of the first locations established outside
of the company's main base of operations in Winston Salem,
North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee. Now, Shaq said, I hope
no one was hurt and we will bounced back better
than ever, so was it was it operating like it?

(59:23):
Was it open at the time? Was it after hours?
I think it was after hours. I think it was nighttime,
wasn't it? It was it was early Wednesday and they
said firefighters did say most of the building and the
fire started in the back. There were no injuries and
the cause of the fire was under investigation. You know
they opening one on Route Fur. Did you see it?
You know what I mean? That? In New Jersey? Yeah?
In New Jersey. You know that McDonald's used to be
on Route for right when you get over the George

(59:44):
Washington Bridge on the right hand side. They building a
whole big Krispy Creme over there, which is just gonna
mess up. One on, It's one on, It's one on.
What that all right? I would have been me a
dozen during the fire though if it wasn't too bad.
I'm not gonna lie City Sun. Justin Comes has landed
a late night show respectively, Justin on a Revolt of course,

(01:00:04):
and he's gonna have social media personality Justin the Boy
on to co host now did he has already made
a comment about the show. He said, Justin the Boy
is one of the biggest is the biggest social media
starr in our culture. There is no better place for
his debut show. We are thrilled to welcome him to
the Revolt family. And the show already has some huge
guests like Chris Brown lined up, and they're also going
to have a demon time segment complete with champagne and music,

(01:00:26):
respectfully dropping the clue's bombs for Justin's Justin the Boy
and Justin comes all right, Well that is your room
and report. I'm Angela yee, all right, thank you, miss ye. Now, Charlomage,
who're giving that? Donken Man, let's talk Gorilla song jelly
all right, four after the hour? Right, do you want
your plans? Room for Valentine's Day? We'll talk about it,
all right, we'll get into it next it's the Breakfast Club.
Good Morning's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a

(01:00:53):
Democrat for being Donkey of the days, a little bit
of a mixed so like a dog. Now. I've been
called a lot of my twenty three years. But Donkey
of the Bay is a new wife. Yes, Donkey of
Today for Friday, February twelfth, goes to a Louisiana man
named Lynn Martin. Lynn is thirty seven years old. I

(01:01:15):
have no idea what he does with his life, and
I am quite intrigued to find out, because whatever it
is he does, he needs to do more. Okay, he's
clearly got too much time on his hands. Now we
all know the legend of Tessica Brown by now right.
Tessica Brown was the forty year old woman who ran
out of her usual hairspray and decided to use gorilla
glue spray adhesive, which caused their hair to become stuck

(01:01:38):
in place up and it stuck my ass. Okay, I
hear you, Cardy, But Tessica Brown proves up isn't the
only place things can get stuck because she was trying
to lay her hair down. Listen to Tessica, my hair
has been like this for about a month now. It's
not much choice. My hell, it don't move, it burns.
Then they got some people out there saying she did

(01:01:58):
this for coke. I put it on social media to
get help. Now, Tessica was able to get the gorilla
seeming removed after a procedure was done by Beverly Hills
based plastic surgeon doctor Michael Obeying. Okay, dropping the clues
bomb for Tessica. I'm glad you're back. You got that
out your hair. Okay. Now, you would think that Tessica

(01:02:19):
would be an example to us all. I don't know
how you all operate, but I operate from the smart
people learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from
the mistakes of others. Model Tessica did that, so hopefully
you don't have to go through that. But yesterday I
was reminded yet again as to why I've been here
on the Breakfast Club for ten years, Monday through Friday,
and every day at eight o four a m. L clockwork.

(01:02:40):
I never have a shortage of people to give the
credit they deserve for being stupid. Because Lynn Martin, thirty
seven years old, decided that he had to see what
that gorilla jids was hitting for himself. Why did he
want to rub this gorilla baby battle on his lips? Wow?
Because Lynn clearly refuses to believe all women. Whatever story
Tessica was selling, Lynn wasn't buying. Let's go to w

(01:03:03):
k b U CBS twenty seven for the report. Please,
I'm gonna sure y'all got some grilla glue right here.
I'm gonna take it Parolea's cup put in my mouth,
then it't gonna be the liquid and get at all.
It's easy the rilla glue garbage. But that was actually Linna.
Let me hear Lynde again. I can't really unerstand. I
don't speak nigga like I used to live. At what
he's saying. Let me hear. I'm gonna sure y'all got
some grilla glue right here. I'm gonna take it. Perarolea's

(01:03:25):
cup put in my mouth, then it't gonna be the
licking and get at all. It's easy the glue garbage. Okay,
let me translate. So Lynna decided to take this gorilla
banana nut milk and apply it to a Red Solo cup.
First of all the levels of niggatry in this story,
the Red Solo Cup. The Red Solo Cup is like
the Super Bowl Trophia kickbacks. I can only imagine that
the way holding an Oscar fields for actors after winning

(01:03:47):
is how I feel when I got that Red Solo
Cup in my hand with a few cubes and I
icing some Cassenger going to san jejo in it. I right,
the Red Solo Cup does not get the respect it
deserves for the joy it has bought so many of us,
young and old, black and white, man a female. It
don't matter drop on a Colos bombs for the Red
Solo Cup. If it's one thing all of us have
in common in the Divided States of America is that

(01:04:07):
whatever function we having from Bob Mitziph's the barbecues, gender showers,
that I finally got this gorilla oyster droppings out my hair.
That damn Red Solo Cup is dead. Now. That Red
Solo Cup had a front row seat all right to
a great moment, just like Red Solo cups have had
a front row seat to a lot of great moments
and a lot of dumb ones. This is a dumb
one because Lynn put the gorilla pearl jam on the

(01:04:28):
Red Solo Cup and attached it to his lip because
whatever is between his ears and under his dredge and
under that dirty ass snapback, it told him he could
just lick it off all right. Three hours later, Lynn
showed up to the hospital with a Red Solo Cup
stuck on his upper lip. I hate it here. Now,
let's go to w KBU CBS twenty seven for the report.

(01:04:51):
I was there for maybe about a little over an
hour or two hours or so. Basically I had my
pressure was up. I mean, I have was going through
a lot of distress also, and they did like a peeling,
basically a marshman peeling, you know, to get it off
from then from my upper skin on my lip. Basically
all that has been torn off, you know. Okay, let

(01:05:13):
me translate, because once again some of y'all don't speak nigga.
All right, He took the gorilla glue, put it on
a red solo cup and attached it to his lip. Okay,
because he wanted to prove that you could just lick
the gorilla glue off his lip. Let me tell you something.
Jealousy and envy are really the root of all evil,

(01:05:35):
especially on social media. This dude, Lynn was just straight
up envious of the attention Tessica was receiving. People would
be so jealous an upset of the attention folks receive.
It doesn't matter if a person who's going viral for
all the wrong reasons, folks will still get upset that
it's not them. This young lady, Tessica started to go
fund me, got thirteen thousand dollars, and Lynn said, oh hell, no,

(01:05:55):
hold my beer in this red Solo cup I'm going in.
That was absolutely paratively zero reason for Lynda to involve
himself in this situation. But what also scares me about
this is that a thirty seven year old man doesn't
know the difference between real and fake. A lot of
y'all don't when it comes to the Internet. This is
a prime example of it. Lynn, and I'm sure plenty
of others thought Tessica was doing this for cloud. She

(01:06:17):
just wanted attention, Okay, like all these other digital d heads.
So even though something was actually real, you didn't believe it.
But if something is fake, y'all do believe it. Virtual
reality has ruined folks natural discernment. And now you got
Lynn who probably won't be able to use his lips
the same way he used to. Ever again, he might
even lose some of his upper lip, and I must say,

(01:06:39):
if that happens, he earned it. See, when you don't
appreciate what you have, God, the universe will take it
from you. And do you know, Lynda's the same brother
who was going in stores licking ice cream doing that
nutass ice cream challenge. Listen, we saw that you're on
Doctor Oz in regards of the ice cream challenge, and
then from looking on your Facebook page, we do see
that you're a rapper, and many insinuate that you're doing

(01:07:02):
these challenges to seek attention, to boost a rap career,
or even just to go viral. So what are your
thoughts on that. Well, I would never want to stick
no gorilla glue to my lip and have it stuck
there and have to go through all these situations I
went through. Basically I was trying to start. Of course,
everybody knows social media runs things right now, everybody's on
social media. It gets a lot of attention, and that's

(01:07:23):
what's going on. I mean, we do there's a lot
of different challenges, so I wouldn't say that I'm doing
it to boost my career because people start a new
challenge every day. I didn't think it was going to
go this far. Boiling Cardy and all Set said they
do anything for Claude ain't never lie. Now he's putting
gorilla prick liquid on his lips to prove a point.
Let me tell you something. You don't respect your mouth,

(01:07:44):
you don't respect your tongue, your lips. You want to
disrespect that part of your face well, let me take
something of it away from you. That's what the universe
is saying, all right, so maybe you'll appreciate it more
once it's gone. And this Sunday is Valentine's Day, Lena.
If you got a girlfriend, a baby, mama, a wife,
I'm here to tell you that she deserves better. And

(01:08:04):
by better I mean a man with functioning lips, A
man who didn't have a red Solo cup stuck to
his mouth this week, all right, because he wanted to
take the lips on her face. Why'd you bleet me?
I need to know you can't everything when you're going downstairs.
Well it's not I'm sorry. I'm a good storyteller. Okay,

(01:08:24):
let me try to say that over there? You know, uh,
your woman deserves better, And by better I mean a
man with functioning lips, A man who didn't have a
red Solo cup stuck to his mouth because he wanted
to taste gorilla slung jelly. Can I say that? Yes?
How you gonna perform oral sex on your woman? There

(01:08:48):
you go? When your woman's lips down in there, when
you don't have any lips up there? How you gonna
even give you a woman? Sweet kisses on the lips
on her face when you don't even even have any
lips on your face. There you go, Okay, listen to brother.
The story you're saying, you niggas is dumb as a
under statement. All right, this is really the world we
live in. And what's sad? These are the people you

(01:09:09):
all be catering to on social media when you get
online and you wait for folks to tell you how
to feel about things. These are the people you are
listening to. Okay, And guess what, all of y'all gonna
get what you deserve, every single one of you. And
right now, what Lynn Martin deserves is for remy Ma
to give him the biggest he ha he ha he ha,

(01:09:29):
you stupid mother? Fun? Are you dumb? What you're thinking about? Nothing?
What do you I'm not talking to you? Who's who
says I'm talking to you? Why you can see it?
So triggering? Why you get trigger? What's wrong? Talk about
some guys lips? And you start looking at me? What's wrong?
Something wrong? The drawn tell me what's wrong? Nothing? What's

(01:09:51):
wrong with you? I feel fun? Sure? How are you?
What's the climate in here? Hot? What's your Are you kinky? Man,
I knew it right up next we have the director
of Judas and the Black Messiah, Shaka King. He's the

(01:10:12):
producer director. We're gonna talk to him next and don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Breakfast Club. We know
that you ride black people right right morning. Everybody is
DJ Envy, angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the
Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building
the last hour. We spoke to Danielle Kalua. And now

(01:10:33):
we have the producer and director of Judas and the
Black Messiah. We have Shaka King. Good morning brother. Well,
first of all, congratulations on this movie. This is they're
already talking about oscars and all of that. Does that
matter to you? Um No, why not because we don't
need white validation, but because when I first started, but

(01:11:00):
I'd not even when I first started, honestly, for like
my duration up until now, I've found Hollywood to be,
you know, as racists, you know the rest of this country. Um,
I would say that my experiences, you know, I went
to school, I'm from Brooklyn and school and day Ridge
as auel. You know you can attest that experience, you know,

(01:11:23):
like I had cops making monkey sounds me when I
was in seventh grade, you know what I mean. Nothing compares,
though the experience of racism, my experience in Hollywood, you know,
as an adult, and so when you go through that,
you know, as I have, I at least my my
reaction to it was to kind of recognize that Hollywood
wasn't a meritocracy and that I couldn't measure my success

(01:11:47):
based upon you know, whether you know, a white male
dominant industry recognize me as talented. And so even though
it's it's taken literally years of the programming for me
to get to a place where I don't invest in
that stuff. While I recognize that, you know, it's a gift,

(01:12:08):
my prayer would make things easier to get made. And
like you know, there's always going to be a part
of you that wants to, you know, just be appreciated
and have your work appreciated, especially by people you respect.
At the same time, I can't sacrifice my power that
way anymore. You know, I agree with you, but I
think this film is phenomenal. And even though I totally
agree with you, what everything you're saying about, you know,

(01:12:30):
receiving validation from these award shows, these white male dominated
a war shows. I want y'all to win all the
awards because I don't know what else quantifies success. I
want y'all to make all the money, win all the awards,
because I know if that happens, more of these films
will be made. I think this year in particular is
one where I've had to sort of work through that,
just because you know, normally you have the box office

(01:12:51):
to prove whether it will be a success, and because
everything is going to be streaming and did at the
same time, you don't have the box office to determine
whether a success. So this is an instance where you know,
a lot of emphasis is going to be placed on
awards to determine whether a movie did well. And I
recognize that, you know, this movie literally stands on the

(01:13:11):
success the shoulders of a Black Panther. I mean literally,
you know what I mean, Like, we don't even get
a meeting if you know, Ryan wasn't coming off the
success of that film. And my hope is that, you know,
films like this lead to more films about more revolutionaries
across the globe. So who doesn't want that, you know
what I'm saying? But at the same time, just on
a personal level, I can't allow myself to get too

(01:13:33):
invested in, you know what, what the industry says about
the about the film, it just wouldn't be just the
my psyche, you know. And this is a different kind
of movie from you from things that you've done in
the past too. You know, obviously we know you're from Brooklyn,
so you've done, you know, works that actually revolve around Brooklyn,
Glyn and your experiences here. But I think one thing

(01:13:55):
that people don't understand is they think this movie is
mostly about Fred Hampton, like he hes the main character,
but it's really the mformant William O'Neill who's the main
character in this movie. Correct. I mean, I think it's
really like talk about how the field came about before
you break it out, Like, how did you even do this? Sure? Sure,
well it came to me from the Lucas Brothers um

(01:14:16):
comedy duo friends of Mine and Brilliant brilliant cast, and
they reached out to me and they were like, well,
we want to make a movie about Wayne O'Neill and
Fred Hampton that we see as the Departed, set inside
the world of Corntell pro Corntel program um the FBI's
kind of intelligence program that was designed by Jago Hoover
to crush you know, anyone that he did dissident. And

(01:14:38):
so I just thought that was a brilliant concept. I
thought it was really, quite frankly, the only way you'd
ever have a movie made about Fred Hampton. And the
truth of the matter is is that, you know, when
you're talking about making a period film, a movie that
takes place in nineteen sixty eight sixty nine, with that
kind of scope, you can only make it at a
studio just because it's going to cost a certain amount

(01:14:59):
of money. It's gonna acquire. This is gonna acquire that,
you know. And so when they pitched it to me,
I was just like, Yeah, this is brilliant. I can
see it. I see this as an opportunity to put
forth not just this history, but this great man's ideas
and this great organization's ideas that I think are just
as applicable to the world we live in today. In

(01:15:20):
a piece of pop culture that travels across the globe
and that entertains people, and they could you know, as
as Chairman Ford Hampton Jane says, you know, put the
medicine and the apple sauce, you know what I mean.
I was asking a question about just making this because
I saw some critiques of it and people saying talking
about Fred Hampton and how they didn't feel like his
character was developed enough and they didn't show this. But

(01:15:40):
this really was more about William O'Neill, and obviously fred
Hampton was a huge part in why William O'Neill were
focused on him. But can you just break that down
and why it was more told from that point of view? Well,
I don't. I don't think it's actually told. Really. It
to me that it's more of a two hander. It's
like heat more than it is, you know, a movie
where it's told through O'Neil's POV. I mean the truth

(01:16:02):
that matter is. It's like, I think that people think
that because we use this interview that waym O'Neill gave
to Eyes on the Prize too. We recreate the interview
and then you know, I'm not going to spoil it,
but the interview plays a role in the film, even
though it's not in the film a ton But I
think because of that structure, people think that the movie
is from O'Neill's perspective. But the truth that matter is

(01:16:23):
that when you're looking at Fred, he's most of the
time independent of O'Neill, and it's actually from Deborah Johnson's
perspective that's when you really get a sense of who
he is. And so the reason we chose to make
it a two hander was because we literally the framing
device that we first thought of, and it's changed as
we've made the thing, was the departed in the world
of Colan tempo. That was how we were going to

(01:16:44):
get the movie made. That was how we were going
to get the movie out there. I think from a
political perspective, the reason to kind of make it a
two hander and lean into that is that you have
an opportunity to present almost like two poles of nity.
You know what I mean. You have in Fred Hampton
one of the bravest, most courageous people of all time.

(01:17:05):
You have WAYM. O'Neill, you know, one of the most
coward like, biggest cowards we can think of in history.
You know, you have in Fred Hampton someone who is
interested in building coalitions. You haven't William O'Neill, a pure individualist.
You know, in Fred Hampton. You have a socialist in
a Marxist and so to me, you have this opportunity
to really like look at these two people who exist

(01:17:28):
on kind of you know, two different Posy Vanny, and
kind of explore that. And I think in some ways,
you know, if we did our job correctly, it you
as a viewer can kind of watch it, watch this
movie and even subconsciously question like where you are fit,
you know, along along that like spectrum, Like everyone wants
to believe that they would be Fred Hampton um, but

(01:17:51):
the truth of the matter is is that there are
a lot more William O'Neil's in this world than there
are Fred Hampton's. And you know, it's kind of a
lost opportunity, just like make this guy just like a
cartoon villain, um, when you know he's just he was
an eighteen year old guy who made like really bad
decisions and some really bad choices. Like, Yo, how many

(01:18:11):
people do we know in prison right now? And they're
in prisons because someone you know, told, told told of them. Yeah, right,
so many more people would be like, I'm not going
to jail. I am telling it what y'all need need
to do, So I don't got to go to jail.
And that's just I mean, he seduced. He seduced. Like
it's starting. It starts with the way that they do

(01:18:33):
it is they go listen, you don't know this guy,
Just go and tell me what you hear. You don't
just just keep just see what you're here. If you know,
if you hear something, tell me. And then they start
paying them. Here's some money, here's a drink, here's a cigar,
have a good times. And they just started. Don't you win?
We have more with the director of Judas in The
Black Messiah when we come back Shaka Kings, don't move

(01:18:54):
us to breakfast club. The more everybody is d j Envy,
Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we are the breakfast Club.
We're kicking it with Shaka King, the director of Judas
and The Black Messiah. Charlemagne. You think it's more important
for white people to see this movie or black people.
I think it's important for everyone to see it. I
made it for my first people. I made it for us,

(01:19:15):
was for black people. You know, there's certain decisions, I
mean every decision, but there's some specific, specific decisions and
even like how we framed the assassination that it was
like very clear, like, Okay, we're not going to show
you know this, this man getting shot in the head.
I'm not gonna put us through that. You know, there
were choice, there were decisions that you know, there was

(01:19:38):
a desire at one point, not on my start the
movie with the Jagger Hoover sequence that you see fairly
early in the film, and I was like, yeah, we
can't start the movie with Jagger Hoover talking about the Panthers.
We have to let the panthers speak for themselves. You know.
I would say that was who I made it for.
But I also did certain things. There's certain pieces in

(01:19:58):
the movie that I made for white like the character
of Roy Mitchell and how I shaped that character. I
made that specifically for white people because I wanted them
to understand the shortcomings of being a white centrist, you
know what I mean, Like that that's not actually true
ally ship and this whole idea of decency and all
that jazz, it's just performative. It's it's hollow, you know,

(01:20:20):
like a centrist will shoot you in the head and
two years later try to name a city block after you,
you know what I mean, how long does it take
to research a movie like this, Like just so people
know the whole process, because it's not just writing a
script and going into it. How much goes into research?
I mean true though, like three years research, three to

(01:20:42):
four years of research. You know, it's the four year
process to get it to the screen. And I was
still doing I mean I was going to research up
until we got when we were in Cleveland, So I
say four years. I say four years probably aside from
sharing the life and legacy of Fred Hampton. What method
do you want this movie to sin? But one of
the reasons for me to make O'Neill a private characters,
I really wanted to show the dangers of being a

(01:21:04):
political you know what I'm saying. And we made this
movie in two nineteen. You know, obviously twenty twenty happens,
and I don't think many people came out of two
thousand and twenty eight political right, But like, you know,
I think it's still an important message to get across,
just this idea of you know, it's it's the old phase.
If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything, you know.

(01:21:25):
William O'Neill's decision to really believe in nothing other and
invest in nothing other than you know, essentially a capitalist
ideology and culture. It didn't just crush I hate to
use the term crushing movement, but it really did. It
really really was deeply detrimental. You know, the Panthers remained

(01:21:45):
active in Illinois Kill nineteen seventy four for five years
after the assassination, but it was incredibly detrimental not just
to you know, the Illinois chapter, but to the national
chapters a whole, and to Chicago as a whole. Chicago
would have been a different place handing so his but
his actually then just hurt those people. It hurt him.
You look at how his story ends, you know, talking

(01:22:07):
about a dude who in the seventies walked away with
almost two hundred thousand in his pocket. Damn there the
equivalent of that had two phones in his car, you
know what I mean in the seventies, and he still
took his own life at forty years old. You know,
he still didn't get a nice, a nice, a nice piece,
you know what I mean. So so he couldn't live

(01:22:28):
with himself. So I think that there's there's value in
putting that out there, um, you know, And I think
there's just millions of things take. You know, there's obviously
highlighting the legacy of the of the Panthers, but it's
also I think showing this country's history of you know,
repressing voices of dissent. You know. I think I think that,

(01:22:49):
you know, like I said on a part of Roy Mitchell,
there's there's, you know, an indictment of white central centrism.
I think there's a number of things you could take
from this movie. It's a dense film. That's why I'm
glad it's HBO. Maxallyople watch it two times and get
something different out of it the second time. You know, well,
I think y'all did a great job. Man. I think
it's a phenomenal film. I think it's one of those
ones for for a generation. You know, how when you

(01:23:11):
was I mean I'm forty two, how old you about
we was younger? You know, you watched the autobiography of
Malcolm X, You're like, wow, I gotta I gotta know.
I want to know more about the nation. I want
to know more about you know, Malcolm Nonibo, Elijah Muhammed.
I think y'all definitely created one of those personally, That's
how I feel. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you. That
was the goal I was to me, that's the blueprint

(01:23:31):
in terms of biopics and in terms of I remember
how I felt leaving the theater as a kid watching
Malcolm X. I read the autobiography because my parents had
me on that young you know, but I reread it
a million times after that movie, and it's it's just
it's the blueprint in my opinion. Yeah, I read it
once a year. I think we should start calling movies

(01:23:51):
like that, and we should start calling movies like Judas
in the Black Side. We should start calling these types
of movies proper Ganda because the proper stories are being told.
I love that. I love that. I love that. But
thank you Shaka so much for making time for us.
Judis and the Blacking Science is available now to make
sure you guys stream that. However you have to watch it.

(01:24:12):
It's on HBO Max, right, yep, HBO Max. And did
the same day, Shaka, Thank you, brother. I hope you
get the opportunity to thank you. I'm already tell more
of our stories, man, because you did a great job.
Appreciate it, yes, so much. Thank you. The Breakfast Club
Morning everybody is DJ Envy Angela ye, Charlemagne the guy.

(01:24:33):
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rooms.
Let's talk charge. It's about this report, Angela Yee on
the Breakfast Club. Yes, so Charlemagne has launched a Mental
Wealth Alliance foundation to establish fundamental and far reaching generational

(01:24:57):
support system for black mental health. You want to tell
us about it? Yeah, it's the Mental Health Alliance. Um,
it's myself and Debbie Brown, my man, Tim Shriver and
Marvett Brittle. And you know, my goal is to raise
one hundred million dollars over the next five years. Uh,
you know, in order to fund Black lad mental health
organizations and experts. You know, we want to provide scholarships

(01:25:19):
with people that are you know, going into the mental
health space as far as like you know, mental health
work like clinical service providers, and we want to provide
ten million Black people with free therapy over the next
five years. And we're advocating for the implemmation of social
and emotional learning and mental health literacy in schools across
the country. So it's purpose, it's purpose field work. Congratulations

(01:25:42):
that because you know I've been, I've been, I've been
an unofficial mental health advocate you know, for the past
few years. So it's just like, you know, why not,
why not why not do the work for real, for real?
And now no, I don't even want to call it
doing the work. Why not do do purpose field things
for real for real? Okay, yes, all right? Where can
people donate? Oh, you can go to the Mental Wealth

(01:26:04):
Alliance dot com. You can go to the Mental Wealth
Alanes dot com. I actually made some donations yesterday Salute
to Suit the Death Cham My Man, My Man, Jeff
Harleston at death Cham. You know, they made a very
generous donation as well as as well as finish Line.
So um I made some donations to a few organizations yesterday.
So it's gonna keep all right. Now, Another good news

(01:26:25):
Tory Lanes, who remix Young Blues Your Mind still featuring Drake.
We told you earlier this morning about the back and
forth they have because Tory Lanes did not give Young
Blue any credit for his song. Well, it looks like
the two of them are now in the studio after
they're back back and forth last night online. If fich
remix might niver Now officially, I'm gonna tag them on

(01:26:49):
anything I ever do ever in life now we're here.
We just made a hit. We're gonna keep making hit.
That's what he should have done. Drop on a clues
box for Tory Lanes on the right thing. Getting young
boys with credit, man, that's the least you can. Don't
think it was malice though. That's everybody does that to
everybody's soul. I never said it was malis, but I
can understand why Young Blue would be upset. He's like,

(01:27:11):
I'm a new artist, I'm on to come up. You
remix my song? Damn at least tag a brother. And
probably was also thinking that it's a well known song
and people know it's his. But you know, he wanted
a little he probably and he said he liked it.
I'm Blue said he liked it. But I guess you know.
I'm glad they worked it out. They didn't know each other,
so now they've spoken, now they know each other. That

(01:27:31):
all worked out for the best. Sometimes credit is more
important than anything else, because sometimes people just need to
know who you are. Now now now a lot more
people know who Young Blue is. After the day. Correct,
young Young Blue got a record with Drake. But I
bet you people don't know that Young Blue. Yeah, I
think they do. I mean, he's pretty popular amongst a

(01:27:53):
certain demo, the casual person actually, and check out his
latest episode of lip service. He's been on lip service also,
just I mean, I think a couple of weeks ago,
shout out to Young Blue. All right now, Erica Banks,
her Busted remix features Travis Scott, so that's pretty amazing
for her. Here is a preview of that bucket. Locke

(01:28:14):
it drop it. We're going. I'm like to stock it
outside it inside the level with chocolate throwing watching cake
it profit biscuit and big get my bus side of pocket.
She keep it up without my bus on a locket.
What did you come in with? Gaily? Your phone at

(01:28:35):
the hotel? She know my body? She don't even think intel. Okay,
I like it. I like it. I know I do.
I like it. I don't hear Travis Scott or bust. Sorry,
I thought it sounded good. All right now fifty cent.
According to reports after that Super Bowl party that he

(01:28:55):
had the venue where he had it lost its lease. So,
according to Tampa Bay Time, sky Attic Aviation has just
six months to pack up and leave. It's a three
thousand square foot hanger in office space day I wonder
if that's directly because of him or it just was timing, Like,
I don't know if they did that just because of

(01:29:15):
him having that party there, or if it's because they
were already going to do that. I don't know timing honestly.
All Right. Now, doctor Dre and April Jones, who were
spotted together and now people are saying that they are dating.
Doctor Dre was spotted entering Boa Steakhouse in La Wednesday night,
and the woman that he's with is April Jones. You

(01:29:36):
know April as the mother of a Marian's children. She's
been on Love and hip hop. She also is a
singer and songwriter. So I don't know what it means,
but people think that it does mean that they're having
a little date night during this time period. That's not
a bad one for her, all right. And halle Berry

(01:29:56):
posted on Instagram women don't owe you ish and that's on.
Mary had a little lamb Now. She also talked about
paying child support. She said, I've been paying it for
a decade now. I feel if a woman or a
man is having to pay support, that is way more
than the reasonable needs to help support the child. I
think that is wrong. She also clarified that while some
parents may need help, she feels that in these modern times,

(01:30:18):
both men and women have the responsibility to financially take
care of their children and work hard and make every
effort to do so. She blasted up parents who used
children in order to be awarded money to live a
lifestyle that not only did they not earn, but that
is way above and beyond the child's reasonable needs. And
there's so many baby daddies out there saying, preach, Holly, preach,
now you know how we finally feel. Yes, absolutely everything

(01:30:41):
she said is one hundred percent correct. And she pays
sixteen thousand a month in child support right now, come on, man,
come on, she said, it's extortion. Do you listen. You
know how many baby daddy's been feeling like that forever,
Not to mention baby daddy's getting locked up when they
get behind on their child support, Like come on, Yes,

(01:31:01):
she's absolutely right, but also remember it goes both ways.
All right, Well that is your rumor report. All right,
thank you, Miss Eye Nash out to revote. We'll see
you all on Monday. Everybody else, we're gonna get to
the mix. Before we get to the mix, we playing

a shout out to doctor Darius and to Bushman and
Detroit on JLB. They've been helping me out a lot
with my store private label and Detroit that open private
label extensions on eight Miles and de Quinder they've actually

Everybody is Stee j Envy and Jula yee all. I
mean the guy we are the Breakfast Club. That's Black
History Month. Charlemagne who we reppen today, Well listen, we

(01:32:05):
know today Judas and the Black Messiah is out on
HBO Max. It is the story of the assassination of
Fred Hampton. And you know, one of our producers tailor
tellors like twenty something. She said to me, I'm mad
they didn't teach us about this in school. Well, that's
why we all have to educate ourselves outside of these
white folk schools. Okay, well, I'm about to play for you.
Is a quick two minute history lesson on Fred Hampton.

(01:32:27):
Less listen. The Breakfast Club presents a new Black History
Month legend. I am people, I'm not the pig. You
got to make a descision and the people are going
to have to attack the pig. The people are going
to have to stand up aginst the Hampton graduated high
school in nineteen sixty six with honors, then went on
to pursue of law degree. He dropped out and became

(01:32:47):
a member at the Black Panther Party in Chicago. He
and other Panthers follow police, watching out for police brutality
and using his knowledge as the laws of means of presents,
quickly becoming leader of the Chicago Black Panther Chapter. Young
Hampton make many significant achievements, such as negotiating a peace
treaty between some of Chicago's most powerful street games. While
Hampton's intelligence and dominance made him a leader in the

(01:33:10):
eyes of many, it also made him a threat to
the FBI. And while they want to get really need
to call I'm saying something that wins the Mother's funny
people as some other friends people and about these people
ever get together, these things spun less, we'll be running
into the league. That's why they want to get rid
of it. He was later assassinated and a police raid
led by the FBI. He was only twenty one years old,

(01:33:31):
and that was another New Black History Month legend courtesy
of the Breakfast Class. Right, make sure you watch Judas
in the Black Messiah, you know this weekend on HBO Max. Man,
it's it's absolutely positively worn't fit if you don't have
