What it good be, hopefully it's what it should be, man. Hopefully y'all enjoyed that joint. You know what I mean? We don't want to, I'm just trying out something because I don't want to depend on, you know,

uh, uh, uh, uh, industry propaganda for people to get a record. We got a format. I am still a rapper, but we got a format where we can speak to our people. So we're going to do that. But this Wednesday is special for us. Yes, it is. This interview has been in the can. The problem with this interview was...

How long ago did we do this? This was like our second or third interview And we actually did it at CBS This is our only interview We actually did at CBS Where we were like really like trying to be professional We were trying to be professional And that didn't work out either

We was cleaning up after ourselves We dropped liquor in their studio And Elliot and They complained about it. Yeah, they complained about it on their podcast as well. I'm about to say YM, but B-Dot. And it really wasn't for us, man. They're more of a studio, corporate, office people.

And we're more on the road, backyard, you know, cookout. You know what I'm saying? Get drunk, throw tables over. Barbershop, you know what I'm saying? Set up in a barbershop type of people. So we had this interview in a can in a barbershop type of people. So we had this interview in a can for a while. They're both legends.

I want to big up Charlemagne Tha God. Let's make some noise for Charlemagne Tha God. And a good friend, Tac Stone. Let's make some noise for Tac Stone. Two awkward bunch. I don't know how they got cool. I don't know how they start messing with each other. But I remember they get into this in this episode. It's a great conversation.

And one of my favorite parts about this episode, I know you probably heard me use this word before, but the first time... Yeah, befuddled. The first time I ever heard this word,

the first time I ever tried to use this word is when Tag Stone is describing his altercation with another rapper and he used the word befuddled. And I thought it was just so dope.

And he kind of went in on Ebro and I felt bad because we had just met Ebro. We had just met Ebro. I just met Ebro actually. He was mad cool with us. Right, right. And you know what? Ebro and Joe Buttons, we want to open up this platform for you guys. Again, on Drink Champs

we don't stir up beef. We don't try to start beef. But we let everybody be themselves. We let everybody be themselves. You don't necessarily have to come on Drink Champs and talk about how many people you beat up or how many people in the past or whatever. But if that's what you want to do we kind of let you do it but you know um again we're not with that but so with that being said ebro joe buttons i would like to get you both you know so we could do a dark skin light skin type of funny thing you know i'm saying so

we got two of the dark darkest niggas well charlamagne has been bleaching let's make some noise for him bleaching his skin i don't know if that him bleaching his skin. I don't know if that's true. Wait, Michael Jackson bleached it? He's my friend. I don't know if that's true. So why did you make some noise for him? I don't know. I'm just bugging out. He knows I'm retarded.

So we're going to get into this episode. I also want, I didn't get a phone call or nothing, but I just want to go ahead and just get my apology out the way before I get the phone call. Your preemptive apologies? Because I felt bad after asking Nico the question about his baby mother, Angie Martinez, because then after that. So you didn't get a phone call about that? I didn't get a phone call yet.

But afterwards, people were telling me how much he wasn't even mentioned in the book. And me, not knowing what was going on for me, even bringing that up before it even gets to Angie's attention or any of you I want to say, I apologize. I was caught in the moment. Jack Thriller asked me. I didn't realize how deep it is or if it is that deep. So I don't know if I'm making it more of an issue or not, but I sincerely apologize if I hurt anybody in that process

because Angie's a great friend of mine. Right. She's always a great friend of mine. And I had no idea that it was Terry Moore. I thought that was going to be funny, you know what I mean? And you were foul. Jack Thriller was foul. Jack Thriller kept filling up my cup and then whispering

it in my ear. He was like a little devil. We saw the devil. He was like a little devil. He was like a little devil. He was asking a whole bunch of other wild shit and I was avoiding it. But mad love to Jack Thriller. He was showing his mad love. Yes, he was asking a whole bunch of other wild shit, and I was avoiding it. But mad love to Jack Thriller.

He was showing his mad love. Yes, he was, listen, listen. He was such a fan of the podcast. Yes. Like, big him up. Yes, big up Jack Thriller. Like, out the gate, he knew. He was like, yo, yeah!

And he was like all crazy about it. And we working on the Jack Thriller show with him, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And we're going to co-sign that, Drink Champs, you know what I'm saying? So big that up. Look out for that coming soon. But, you know, so without further ado, we're going to get into this tag stone man call me man is when our first and only cbs interview don't say only man we might go back and try to be professional we might go back

but um cbs might not want us to go back so if we're a little rusty or we're like uh first off this is one of our very first episodes even though we we're using it at number 14.

You should do podcasts. Right. So he first planted the seed, so I started doing my research on it and then I seen podcasting and then when I realized podcasting was going to be big was when I looked it up and seen that Apple was about to now put it on the phone as an app that comes on the phone. So that's when I knew.

You know what I'm saying? He's a hood, hood nigga. And Joe is not a nigga. He's a different type of dude. He's this fake square. You know what I mean? We already know what this is. He's a fake square because he tries He's this fake square. He's a fake square because he tries to act like he's square to everything.

I said, what I got tight was he started talking about, oh, the street talk, the jail talk. I was like, you sound like a fucking white nigga from fucking Ohio talking about the street talk. You a dope fiend that get locked up every week. How the fuck you gonna act like you don't know what I'm talking about?

Don't try to act like this square dude. You understand what I'm saying? I asked the motherfucker a question that he just answered on Breakfast Club, and he answered me differently. You understand? This is y'all in your show. Yeah, my show. I asked him a question. I was like, yo, what's up?

Like, yo, did you sit on the bitch titties and choke her? Whatever she said. He like, what he said he's like um he's like i i said is she lying about you he said i don't know you would have to ask her so i said why i gotta ask her i'm asking you i'm asking you if she lying on you so he playing all these fucking words semantics that he be playing on on these bitches he fucking from the third world countries and i was trying to explain to him. I said, my nigga, I'm not them.

My nigga, I was educated. I was educated in Brooklyn, New York, an Elmira correctional facility. You understand what I'm saying? Don't try to run that bullshit game on me. Like, well, you would have to ask her. And then his man Rory to do the podcast with him. He's trying to make it understandable. Like, you know what he's saying?

Like media training. Media training. He really like he was saying it like he was trying to make it understandable. Like, no, what he's saying is tax. He was saying it like he was really breaking some discovery shit down to me. Like, no, what he's saying, tax, is this. I was like, you love this nigga that much that you're going to ditch the bullshit out with him. I'm going to go back and check this episode out. It sounds amazing.

This shit was crazy because the internet, what the internet did was just, because the internet did, at first, the clips that I saw was like him leaving. And he was like, and he's like yelling at him, but he's like, be safe, beloved. He's like, yeah, I think one of us got to bounce. I think it's time for you to go. It's just mad awkward.

And he's like, and Joe was sitting there with coffee. You got video of this shit? No, it's on the internet. It's just mad awkward. And he's like, and Joe was sitting there with coffee and shit. You got video of this shit? No, it's on the internet. It's on YouTube. Joe was like, Joe was like, Joe was like, you know what? I think it's time for me to go. Yeah, it's time for me to go. Because you can tell Joe didn't want to be suckered out.

So he was standing there trying to hold it down. And he's like, but what he's saying to him is respectful. He's like, be safe, though, beloved. Like, yeah, I think you should go. You know what I'm saying? It's respectful what he's saying, but his mannerism is like, please, I'm going to choke you. That's what it really was in a nutshell. That was like Morse code for him.

And I think I asked you this on your podcast. Would you ever do his podcast? Yeah, I'd do it. I don't care. I don't care no more. I've seen him at Henny Palooza and shit. You know, I just was telling somebody

that story too, man, because I seen Joe at Henny Palooza and I walked up to him on the stage. I'm like, yo, what's up, son? You said I won't smack the shit out you,

you know what I mean? And he was like, Tex, I'm still befuddled with all of this. I love that voice. And he went into the word. I just was like, yo, hold up.

I had to really. That was the best Joe Biden impression ever. Oh, my God. Can you say that one more time? I'm still befuddled with that. I don't understand. So, you know what I mean? I was like, I thought about the shit.

We was a Henny Palooza, you know what I mean? You know, a good party. And I was like, you know what? I ain't here to fuck these niggas party up. Shit ain't that serious. Yo, whatever, man. J the nigga, Pam. I walked away. But, man, you know,? I ain't here to fuck these niggas party up. This shit ain't that serious. Yo, whatever, man. J the nigga, Pam. I walked away. But, man, you know, I never said this shit out loud, man.

But when I turned around, man, it was two dudes behind me, man. They were standing there like they was holding Joe down. I want y'all to know I remember y'all. I want you to know. I just want you to know. You know who you are. So, you know, if I decide, I don't know. If I decide to smack you, you know where it came from. Because it was hilarious. I was like, what the fuck was y'all niggas

going to do? Because I am confused to this day because it was mad funny. I'm like. That's what that word he used. I couldn't believe it. Befuddled? Befuddled. What does that mean, God?

Befuddled doesn't even know what befuddled means. I ain't gonna lie. I be wanting to use words like that. No, that's one of those words you can just use, and it doesn't mean anything. But that's why Joe be getting these bitches.

These bitches dropped out in the second grade, got a leotard by six, started bartending by eighth grade, and he start hitting them with befuddled, and they be like, he's intelligent. You know what I mean? He just befuddled me. Nigga know eight words more than you.

That's what I like about Joe. I like Joe. You know what I mean? That's why I said the manipulation shit, I can't deal with it. You got to know when to turn your shit off and when to turn it off. I used to have a friend that used to be around me, right? This nigga was running around. I didn't know he was doing this, but I ended up finding out he was running around lying to bitches,

saying he had cancer, had bitches giving him money, all types of shit. And I heard about it, but I didn't acknowledge it. I never asked him about it. But then he tried to do it to bitches to be around us. And it was like, wait up. These girls be with us. Now you violating. You bringing that over here.

So now another thing that you put, you've been seeming to be very, very on point with the new New York. First time I ever heard Dave East was when you mentioned him on Twitter. You was blowing his shit up. First time I heard Manolo Rose, you put me on too. How do you be knowing who's the next nigga? I kind of listen to everything.

I really do. I listen to links that people send me. I be listening. That's why I talk so much shit. Like, I really do. Like, I listen to links and my people that people send me. I be listening. That's why I talk so much shit. They don't understand that. When I be like, y'all niggas is bad, I be meaning it. I be like, just chew this up and shut up because I don't want to point, I don't want to single you out and tell you you bad. You know what I mean?

I'm just giving y'all the input. Like, I heard this shit. This shit ain't that good. You know what I mean? So, like, I be hearing everything. And then I just, like, what I do is I play records around females and I watch their reactions. So, and, you know, I don't

usually, I don't tell them, yo, listen to this. Listen to this. I just put it on. You know what I mean? And I watch their reactions. I watch how they move. I watch how they get off the phone. I watch how their bodies start jerking while they busy doing something else. And that's how I usually know what's good and what's not. You know what I mean?

I just put it on because, see, women is going to tell you. They're going to be like, this shit is whack. And I ain't saying they're the best judges, but when you do it around several different women and you're getting the same vibes, you understand, like, this could be it. You know what I mean? So that's usually how I choose them.

And I find shit. I just watch the kids. You know what I mean? I always knew to watch the youth because I've been young. And even when I was grown, I was acting young. So I always knew that that's where it's really at. That's where the culture is.

You can't abandon the young people. That's why I always be mad shitting on the OGs and shit like that. Like old dickheads like Ebro from Hot 97. You know what I mean? I be trying to put them niggas in their place because they old haters. Every single person from New York City that I promoted, Ebro had shitted on them first. And then Dick rode them.

You know what I mean? Right after like, because we were in New York City and we're going to do this. And it's like, what the fuck are you talking about, man? You know what the crazy shit is? We had left Ebro and he bigged you up. I'm going to be honest with you. He should. He got to.

It was a shot at Oprah. It's not Oprah's shots. It's not Oprah shots. It's not like Oprah's who she is. But as far as like, you know, people like, you know, I always tell people my father died when I was eight. So I was raised off of Biggie lyrics and Nas lyrics and Jay-Z lyrics and jewels that they gave. I told niggas a little while ago, I said, man, you can raise a kid in New York City just off kiss bars.

off kiss bars, and Jay-Z raised kids on kiss bars. That's where you left off. But yeah, you know what I mean? I told niggas you could raise a kid off kiss bars. And Jay-Z raised us with his bars. It was points in Jay's life where he was changing his life. And he was getting to that point to where, yo, I'm about to get on my grown man shit. And niggas started getting on their grown man shit. Like, niggas was like, yo, you know what? It's time to take care of business. It's time to look like an adult.

niggas cooler than I thought. And I guess he was real cool with me, because people was hitting me in the office after, like, you're the only person to have Jay-Z in there for three hours. Right.

Yeah, you know how that shit be. I didn't even know I was talking to the nigga. That's what's funny. That's how real it was. You know how you think you're going to see Jay. He walked in the room. He was like, yo, what up? Did some shit like this.

I was like, what the fuck? And then we was kicking it for like three hours so but just I didn't realize no lie that I was really talking to Jay until I put that snap up right I didn't know you put it snap up before the conversation or that was the last thing that was the last thing that was really the last bit of the convo so it was like we were sitting there and I was like y'all gotta put you on snap you know I mean he ain't say shit he was like yo, I got to put you on snap. You know what I mean? What did he say when you said that? He didn't say shit. He was like, you know what I mean?

And then I put him on. He knew what I was doing. I put him on and shit. And then that shit went up, and I didn't know what I did until TMZ hit me 20 minutes later. Why? Like, did Jay-Z allow you to do that? I was like, huh? So what the fuck is going on?

I got scared and shit. I started wondering, like, did the nigga allow me to do that shit? No, he didn't allow you. Word. Now, when you had that, did you say to yourself, man, did you say to yourself, man, I made it. Like, Jay-Z not only recognized, because, you know, Jay called me about your podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

So did you say to yourself, like, man, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So did you say to yourself, like, man, was that a very proud moment for you? Did you want to tell your parents or something? It really didn't hit me still. You know when it hit me? It really didn't hit me still, even when I posted it and it went on TMZ and all that shit. When it hit me was when all the white people. The snap went on TMZ, too? Yeah, they put it on there.

That shit was in everything you could think about. There's so many different writings. Jay-Z's friend, Tack Stone, from back in Marcy. I was like, nigga, I ain't from no Marcy. I don't know Jay-Z. You got new groupies after that, though. But this is when I knew it was serious. When the white people started calling me.

So, Jay. I'm like, Jay what? Nigga, like, what the fuck? Like on the first day. No, like they just started offering me money. Like, you Jay-Z friend. I was like, yeah, we're great friends. But was both of y'all, that incident, connected?

No, he asked me that on his podcast. Right, but when did you meet him? After that? Yeah, he met him after that. So do you think that was connected? Him wanting to meet him? Do you want me to tell you the truth? Yeah.

I think Hov was on his podcast from the beginning. One, he was on his podcast because he's a Brooklyn nigga. And two, this nigga podcast is really like that in the streets. Yeah. And Hov don't want to miss a beat. You know what I'm saying? He knew of more than I ever thought. Right.

Scared me a little bit. And remember, he did Bleak's. Bleak did your podcast. And I think Bleak said something. Like, you asked Bleak a question like,

did Hov really move such and such and such and such? And I think Bleak said, Bleak said, man, you know, that was just Jay-Z bars. And then Bleak told me,

Hov called him and said, yo, listen, nigga. And flipped on him. Like, the same way Bleak told me, Hov called him and said, yo, listen, nigga. And flipped on him. The same way, like, with me. So Hov, this is both through his shit. You know what I'm saying? This is both through his walk. So was it that moment

you realized that, like, yo, everybody's watching me? Yeah, that's when I realized, you know, that's when I actually realized how hard it is to get next to Hov. You know what I mean? Because, like, Bleak already was like, realized, you know, that's when I actually realized how hard it is to get next to Hov. You know what I mean? Because, like, Bleak already was like, yeah, you know, Hov or whatever, you know what I mean? But that's when I realized how hard it is to get next to him because it was people that had been in the industry for years, huge people, and they were just like, so Jay-Z.

And I'm like, what, nigga? Like, you've been in the industry for years. You've never seen the dude or nothing? Then that's when I realized, I was like, oh, that's Like, you've been in the industry for years. You've never seen the dude or nothing? Then that's when I realized, I was like, oh, this is really some shit. This was a privilege. I didn't realize it. I thought my pops just was acknowledging me finally. Like, son, I've seen you.

You've done great work. You made it. You know what I mean? You've done great in the community. So I didn't, dead ass, I really didn't know until these people kept, like, kept reaching out to me. These was huge people with accomplishments in the industry for years. And I'm like, oh, shit, this is some shit. You know what I mean?

So shout out to Ho. Now, bringing it right back to podcasts, who would be your dream person to have on your podcast? My dream person would be Rihanna. I would dream that, too. I would sniff her chair when she left. I don't know why I think she would just throw her pussy right in my mouth. I just get that vibe from her. Like, she would grab my head, like, sun me.

I'd be like, yo, you wildin'? What you doin'? Like a straight hoe. I act like a straight hoe for that bitch. Shout out to Rihanna. I love you. There'll be no interview. I ain't no friend.

Are we going to have to pay publishing on that? We're going to have to make some shirts. Because he really said that, though. He said, Befuddled. That is.

What you need to do is be like, yo, you befuddled me? It's Leonard. Oh, shit. I don't be lying. You need the government, so you think homeboy got him, right? He got him. He'll get him in? All right, cool, cool.

I got some old blood nigga from California out here lying on me right now. Wait, what happened? What's going on? I punched that nigga in his fucking head. What happened? What's going on? You know what? I'm sorry, man.

We don't want to be the precursor to a crime right now. We're old dumb niggas. All right, go ahead. Go ahead. Nah, let me explain this real fast. Explain it. Kale, let's do it. When I was a young lad, I started gangbanging, right?

Like, 98. I turned blood. Out here? New York City, right? 98, you said. Yeah, 1998. Okay, cool. And I just always tell people the story.

I just put a red flag on and said I was blood one day. Right. Because I was tough. Ain't nobody say nothing. They just jacked it. Right. And, you know, I was blood one day. Right. Because I was tough, ain't nobody say nothing. They just jacked it. And, you know, I was an asset. You're an asset to a gang when you're tough. So they're like, this nigga tough.

He with us. You know what I mean? Right. So whatever. And as we went on, I didn't like the dude. And I just, you know, when you're too tough, you just can't have nobody over you. So I was like, listen, I'm just blood.

I ain't no set. Like, I was on some listen, I'm just blood. I ain't no set. Like, I was doing some tough shit. Me and my mans just made our own set. Like, no lie. Like, literally. Universal blood. Made our own set, right? Right.

And T. Rogers reached out to us. He came to New York City. He was doing a gang summit, like a speech at John Jay College. So we went and held him down right when he came out here. So we told him, like, yo, my nigga, we made this shit up. My nigga, like, I told him everything. He had some Piru dude with him from L.A. named Twilight Bay.

They was like, yo, go ahead, you can do it. It's yours, you know what I mean? So now we feeling like we official, because we got these West Coast niggas, you know what I mean? The moral of the story is this. I don't give a fuck about gangs, right? I don't give a fuck about gangs, right? I don't give a fuck about who in the gang. I don't care about no big homies.

I don't care about little homies. You understand me? I'll shoot all y'all niggas. You understand? And that's what we got to get clear. Because I've been to prison. Ain't nobody in the gang do nothing for me when I was in jail. You know what I did in jail?

I sold drugs and just put work in. And what I had to realize, I had to sit there and say, yo, man, what the fuck is my homies? Are these my homies? These ain't my homies, my nigga. And I don't need no family. I was selling drugs by myself, getting my own money, getting visits from my own bitches. I ain't need nobody to hook me up with they cousins. I ain't need no sisters. Then I realized that I said, yo, it was a little young dumb nigga.

And they gave this nigga status just because he hooked the nigga up with the big homie. Girl? Some shit like that. Some weird shit nigga hooked his sister up with the big homie. Now he got status. And I just couldn't understand. And I said, you know what? This is a sad world.

And it's a sad business. It's a business that a nigga shouldn't be in because it's old beef. It ain't no bread. Can't make a sandwich. Dig it, I'm saying? So I was like, fuck this shit. So I had to really realize. I was like, yo, we've been poisoned to the point to where we in civilization writing

niggas that's in jail asking them what we should do in civilization. You understand me? What the fuck are you doing writing a nigga that got 35 years in jail asking him how you should move with your iPhone. Right. This nigga has never seen an iPod. First generation. You understand what I'm saying?

These niggas ain't been on the street since fucking beepers, and you asking this nigga how you should move. Right. All this nigga know is crack houses. He ain't never even seen the nigga move no work off the phone. Right. You understand what I'm saying? So I had to come to the realization that we was out here destroying instead of building. You dig what I'm saying?

Now, I always tell people Bloods in New York City was created because the oppression from Latinos to blacks was getting in jail. Latin kings ran to jail and blacks felt like, yo, these niggas be sunning us, whatever. And I don't know, whatever. It was created from there. You understand? But the point is, is that where everything is supposed to be for oppression, gangs even on the West Coast that came from the Panthers and shit like that. You know what I mean? Trying to protect the neighborhoods.

It all goes wrong some way. But once it goes wrong, it's wrong. Don't try to tell me it's right. And that's all I'm saying. I'm a grown man. I'm a nigga that survived out here for years. I done did mad fucking dirt. That's why it's a blessing for me to live.

That's why I talk shit, because I could die tomorrow. I'm cool. I'm cool. You could kill me, nigga. My little brother not a gangster. He ain't grow up to be like me. I'm cool with that. That's all I wanted to do in life.

So that's why when niggas tell you all that fake gangster shit about your set, the niggas talk about paying when niggas come to L.A. and all that shit, man. Listen, man, you're going to die. You said you caught beef or some shit like that? No, this dude is like, he heard my interview on Vlad telling the story, so he's like telling dudes

to send word to me like, oh, tax is lying. I went to his hood and told him, y'all niggas is fake. And I said, you telling me you went to my hood

and told me we fake and you still alive to talk about this shit? That don't even sound right. That don't sound right, but love it like, you know what I mean? So,

every nigga I was ever locked up with from East New York, they had a body. That's a fact. That's like, they don't do no other crime in East New York.

They just kill you. That's it. That's a fact. I can't even explain it to this day, and I'm from the East like my whole life, and I really can't explain it

because I don't even realize that many niggas did. I knew so many niggas from the East of New York that when I went to another house and I met somebody, I was like, where you from? East of New York? Oh, you got a body, right? I was like, how do you know? He's like, all y'all niggas got bodies. So I feel you.

And you said this guy's from the West Coast? He's from there. He's from the West Coast. I got respect for the dude. Oh, he's from the East Coast. But he's sending false propaganda. And I know it's him because the dude who said it, he said something that was true. That was true.

He was like, when T. Rogers came to your hood, he came with Bloods from Jersey, which was true. He came with Holiday Red from Bix Bix Deuce, Ma Pairu from Newark. And he'll tell you the same thing. Charlamagne Tha God just stepped in the building. God damn it. God damn it. Let's make some noise for Charlamagne Tha God. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Studio audience is getting worse and worse. Charlamagne Tha Jeezy. It's nice and balanced in here. Ty's got a salad and some cognac. We got that 1738.

Look. Okay, feedback. All right. I take it. This shit for real. See, I don't like when I come to places like this because the name of the show is The Drink Champs. Yeah, and you actually got alcohol.

Yeah, you can't say no. When have you ever come to the breakfast club and there's been breakfast? Never. That's what I'm saying. Never. Yeah, yeah, yeah. True.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Let's get you a shot in you. Pause. Pause. Let's get that. No, I'm going to sip. I don't...

You know what I mean. Thank you for coming to my podcast. Thank you for having me, my brother. You guys do the same intro. You guys do the same intro. Hold on, hold on. Is the feedback me? I think it's you.

Maybe pull that mic back a bit. Okay, like that? No, no, no. You just go back. Me go back? You're too close to everything else. Okay, all right, maybe pull that mic back a bit. Okay, like that? Well, no, no. You just go back. Me go back? You're too close to everything else. Okay, all right, cool. Get the fuck away from me.

You got white people on the way. That's right, that's right, baby. Come on, man. White people is the new black. We better than that. White people is the new black. Let's make some noise. Make some noise for white people is the new black.

What? White people is the new black, baby. I ain't going to lie to you, man. No, white people ain't felt them levels of oppression yet. I've never seen oppressed white people until Donald Trump ran for motherfucking president. All them poor white niggas. Oh, yeah, yeah. Down south?

Them motherfuckers look oppressed. Right out the trailer park. Right out the trailer park. They like Trump that nigga. That's how they talking. That's what the white people don't know. We never even knew them niggas existed. No, no.

I knew they was poor white trash. They on straight meth. On straight meth. Wildin'. That's the people who make the meth. Them n. No, no. I knew they was poor white trash. They on straight meth. On straight meth. Wildin'. That's the people who make the meth. Them niggas right there. I knew they existed. I just didn't know they were oppressed.

Because down south, you'll still have those poor white people like that that still think they better than us because they white. Right, right. But they are oppressed. They super poor. They poorer than you and they still think they better than you. Exactly. But they decide when they oppressed.

That's crazy. I never thought we was going to be political on this show, but niggas just broke up. I invited him. I invited him. Oh, shit. My shit right here. Tac Stone just said, fuck Oprah. I'm on drugs.

No, man. We're not going to last long. Tac, you ain't say that. We got to say fuck Oprah, man. Why you got to be for Oprah, Tac? I just said, no, I don't. This is a rumor. We already spread it.

I already spread it. Tac said fuck Oprah. Listen, he said Charlemagne. What? He said Charlemagne is a Winfrey knows Carter. Pinky Smith, Winfrey knows Carter. Yeah, I said Winfrey ain't part of that for me. You know what I mean?

It's Carter's. It's Beyonce. You understand what I'm saying? Like, you know what I mean? Pinky Smith. They could do no wrong. Yeah, I fuck with the Smiths. You know what I mean?

If Jaden was your little brother, how would you treat him? I'd slap the shit out that little nigga. Who was your little brother? Jaden Smith. Jaden Smith your little brother, how would you treat him? I'd slap the shit out that little nigga. Who? Who was your little brother? Jaden Smith. Jaden Smith. Oh, yeah. I'd slap that little nigga a couple times.

It's a little awkward. He seems smart. Yo, that's the only thing with this kid. Like, he seem a little too smart. He's so smart that I don't be wanting to give my opinion on him because I think he gonna do some great shit soon. Nah, he is. I call him the Gandhi of our time. He's the Gandhi of our generation.

Because if you look at some of Gandhi's quotes, they ain't really make too much sense. Hit me with one of them. You're befuddled right now? I'm befuddled. Let me Google. I don't want to misquote Gandhi. Hold on, hold on, hold on. That's mad funny.

That's when you know a nigga's smart. Hold up, Slam. I know you don't have to. I don't want to misquote Gandhi right now. I don't want to misquote Gandhi. Where did Drink Chef just go right now? Somebody just say fuck Gandhi real quick. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Let's just balance it real quick. Just somebody, just yell him out. Yeah, like he says, the weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. I never liked that quote because I think forgiveness is overrated. I think some offenses aren't forgivable, like murder. I never liked that quote because I think forgiveness is overrated. I think it's some things, I think some offenses aren't forgivable. Like murder. I agree. Somebody clap your mama, you're not going to forgive them.

That shit's stupid. Rape your sister. Fuck them. Fuck them. I always tell people I think, you know, I always tell people I think Martin was stronger than Malcolm. Yes. You know why? Because he could take a rock. He could take a rock and not. That's strength. Because I'm trying to look for that a rock. He could take a rock and not...

That's strength. Because I'm trying to look for that strength to where I could take a hit and just look the other way. You know what I mean? You're beloved. Beloved. You ain't finding... I'm too weak.

You know, what Tax is saying is real. Yeah. Because I think of another great civil rights leader of our time, Jay-Z, when he said it's hard not to kill niggas. It's like a full-time job not to kill niggas. So the fact that Martin could... We came back to Jayiggas. So the fact that Martin could motherfuckin' for the fact that Martin did not kill motherfuckers

so easily, he's a strong motherfucker. And Martin was running treads, too. He was getting pussy. He was getting pussy on the side. He deserved it.

Martin was out here getting busy. He deserved it. I think Martin was poppin' niggas on the low. Like, at nighttime, he was shootin' niggas. Come on, man. I think Martin was a shooter. Let's just spread the rumor right Like, at nighttime, he was shooting niggas.

Come on, man. I think Martin was a shooter. Let's just spread the rumor right now. Come on, everybody make some noise for Martin Luther. Martin Luther was a shooter. Martin Luther was a shooter. Martin Luther was a shooter. Martin Luther was a shooter.

It is facts to that. It is? He used to carry guns. I just made it up. He used to carry guns, but then he stopped, and he let the people around him carry guns, but when John F. Kennedy got assassinated,

he made everybody around him stop carrying guns because he was like, what's the point? If they can get him, they can get any of us, so let's just have faith in a higher power. That is a fact.

That is hard. We learned something on here. I'm getting offended because you don't want to learn that. You don't want to learn that. I don't want to learn that. I want this to be,

he just got smart. He wants you to go backwards after listening to this shit. I feel like I just read something. Charlamagne is too smart. That's what it is. Charlamagne knows to use his smarts as dumb as he is.

That's right. That nigga, you gotta... I told niggas to end it in an uncommon sense so he do the righteous ratchet wisdom. Yeah. That's the best part and that's the highlight of my day.

Watching him do ratchet... You know what's funny? You know what? I like the righteous ratchet wisdom but you know what? I almost never stay in tune for it when you do the... what is it, on Breakfast Club when you end it, the good. Oh, the positive note of the day. I'll be like, I want to be positive.

And I'll listen to the whole show, and I'll be like, yo, the positive word. I'm like, ah, not today. Like, you know what I mean? Because then if I got positive words and I do something negative, it's like, you deserved it now. I'm really just trying to balance my life out today because already today, it's 2.30.

I'm already on Cognac and I've already seen Maino, Uncle Murder, Noriega, and Tax Stone. I gotta go home and fuck this truck.

In the same day. In the same fucking day. Let's make some noise for that. And you see my man, Freeze, the book, you know what I'm saying?

He's a Queens legend, so, you know what I'm saying? He's a Queens legend. He look like he killed four people. He blessed to be home. He blessed to be home. Look why he blessed. Like, I'm blessed. Welcome home, my ass. I believe every nigga that tell me he blessed, I be like, hey, you blessed.

I believe you. Nigga be like, nigga, you that dead serious look? Like, I'm blessed. You know what I noticed? You know what was real? Like, when a nigga just say sorry, I'm like, I know that nigga's a killer. Like, when you get a real, like, it was some real shit that happened, and I got, you know, Styles P, and Styles P just said, yo, I'm sorry.

And it was like, I know Styles P. Yeah, I was like, I know Styles P. Yeah, I was like, I know Styles P is a killer. Because only a real, real nigga can say when he's wrong and then admit it real fast. And it let me know that vegetables and juicing

save Styles P's life. You know what I'm saying? Because back in the days, I used to not even, like, Styles P was like one of the, he was the weird one of the locks. What do you mean? Like, standoffish kind of? Like, he'll come roll a blunt and just smoke his blunt right in the front. And then you'd have to put something.

And then, like, I used to be like, did this nigga just roll my weed? I smoke blunts in the head, so don't pass me shit. Yo, did he roll my weed? And me and him, like, through juice, through juice, like, you know what I'm saying?

I used to hang out in the juice bar. I used to go there to buy weed. And that man has fully transformed. Like, I, I,

style sell weed out of the juice bar? No, no, no, no. Did I make it sound like that? Yeah. I'm like, what? I used to go there

to buy weed. This is the original juice bar. Not the one he owns now. That's how we met back in the days. And, you know what I'm like, what? I used to go to the bar with you. This is the original Juice Bar. That's the one he owns now. That's how we met back in the days. And you know what I'm saying? He definitely, through juicing and through being a vegan, he's a definitely calm, peaceful person. And I appreciate that. Styles came to my crib.

I seen him on Twitter like, yo, whose crib can I come to to watch the fight? He was in Miami. You know what I'm saying? So I seen him. I was like, all right, Crib? Can I come to to watch the fight? He was in Miami. You know what I'm saying? So I seen him. I was like, all right, cool. Maybe he's just doing that for his Twitter followers. He didn't hit me, so I went on with my day. Styles finally hit me.

He was like, you know, I don't want to invite myself. I said, nigga, come on. Come through. He came through. He had his wife. I made sure I got vegan burgers for him. I made sure I had mad food. And one of the first things he did

was when he came on my balcony I had I offered him a drink I got him whatever whatever and I had like knocked something down as soon as I knocked

this is my crib I knocked something down Stylespeed came and he cleaned it up and I was like I was like this nigga's a killer like cause those

people don't understand that like people don't understand that like real niggas is the nicest people in the world. And they like to laugh. Like, real niggas like to laugh. They got manners. Like, if a nigga come around me and be like, I'm like, this nigga's probably full gaysy. That's who it be.

This nigga's definitely. His name is probably. His nigga real name is probably Albert. Niggas be super drug lord. You know, like, I don't mean him, but, you know, I'm saying I didn't mean him. Niggas be super drug lord. You know, I don't mean him, but you know, I'm saying, I didn't mean him. Niggas be drug lord,

eight shooters, mad shit. I always tell niggas, you see me? I be buying my motherfucking self. You got a pistol though. I don't need no friends.

Now, let me ask you. Cause like, I fucks with tax, right? But how the fuck did you see the vision in him? I'm going to tell you exactly how I met Tax.

I need to hear this. Tax came to the breakfast club with Naima Supreme. Naima Supreme. Tax don't say hi. He don't say nothing. Tax goes, yo, remember them dudes that snuffed you in front of the station? What? He headbutted a bullet.

That's his first thing he said to you. That's it. He's dead. And I'm scared. I'm like, what the fuck is this guy talking about? I don't want to know this kind of information. He's like, yeah, he got shot in Delaware. I'm like, all right, so I go into the room.

I'm like, yo, you know this text on there? I'm texting this. I don't even remember who I texted. Oh, you know what? It was like, no, an intern we had. I don't know if she grew up with you or whatever. Her name's Niggas, I think. I'm like, yo, what's this text, nigga?

She was like, nah, he crazy. He's out of his mind. I'm like, yeah, I can tell. But I just used to follow him on Twitter. And I thought he was funny, but not just funny. I thought he was smart. You know, a lot of times, man, motherfuckers from the hood, motherfuckers can't see past the dirt.

But they don't see the jewels that are being dropped within that dirt. I was just like, this motherfucker's kind of interesting. I don't know Joe Budden shit. You know what I mean? What's the word? Befunneled. He wasn't befunneled.

No, I wasn't befunneled. You're very interesting. To this day, that shit fucks me up. You're the smartest guy in the room. Is befuddled a word? Because he said that's a real word. What does it mean? Only Charlemagne and Joe Button would know that word.

It means like confused. Like confused, yeah. Yeah, like confused. We changed the meaning. But it can mean anything. Yeah, it's befuddled. But the crazy thing about tax, I didn't know if tax could oritate. Because, you know, you see a lot of motherfuckers on Twitter.

They funny, they smart, but they get in the room. Oritate is that like? On the microphone talking. I learned another word. I'm definitely using that. I thought that meant oriental, bitch. Oritate. Oritate is hard.

That is hard. So I just invited him to come to the Brilliant Idiots podcast, and that motherfucker gave us one of the greatest episodes ever. Oh, so you had him on your podcast first. Oh, yeah. Oh. And that was before you started your podcast. Okay, so continue. Right then, like, yo, Chris, you got to get this guy a podcast.

Wow. And Chris was scared, because Chris is a white Jewish dude. Right. You know what I mean? We all got the white Jewish dude. Absolutely. Let's make some noise for white Jewish dudes. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

you automatically think you're going to jail. That's why I take a shit. If I got a shit where I'm someplace, I shit before I leave. Because the worst thing is being in the fucking cold tank

and having to shit. Oh my God. That's just something I hold on to all the time. That is it. the fucking cold tank and having to shit. Oh, my God. That's just something I hold on to all the time. That is it. You got to shit in front of everybody. That is it. Yes. In the can? Remember me, Eddie, Boris. Where's Boris at? No, I just sent him somewhere.

It was so hot in here earlier. Nobody could take it. But y'all are main. So you seen them. You said the podcast. And now he's doing a live podcast. Word up. Blah, blah, blah, blah. One of the best podcasts out there.

And then where is that? You shouted it out. SVA Theater. Where is that? Like 14th Street, that area. The Union Square area. Okay, okay. That's what's up.

The Dope Theater. Is this Saturday? Yeah, this Saturday. This Saturday. Okay. Okay, that's what's up. It's a dope theater. Is this Saturday? Yeah, this Saturday. This Saturday. Okay. And you did your Brilliant Idiots in San Francisco? We did a few places. We were in San Francisco Saturday.

We were in London on the first. Didn't y'all do London and shit? I did London on the first. I just booked my first show in London September 10th, I believe. All right, make sure. You know there's no guns in London. Listen. Oh, listen.

You know that, right? Billy Club. My niggas got guns in London. They hit me on snap. Niggas got blocks all out. They got them. All my London niggas link up with me when we touch. Pistos. We're going to tax shit Saturday.

That's live. That's what's up. That's what's up. Now, your partner with Brilliant Idiots, he's a comedian, correct? He's a comedian, Andrew Schultz. I seen y'all speaking about race the other day, and you said that you never experienced

racism. Yeah, I never experienced overt racism. Now, what does overt mean? Overt means open. Like, a white dude ain't never walked up to me and said, yo, what's up, nigga? Yo, nigga, get the fuck out of here. You can't be here because you black. And you from South Carolina. I'm from South Carolina. But I've never experienced overt racism ever.

I grew up around black people. I grew up around poor white people, Mexicans. I just never had nobody overtly disrespect me when it comes to racism. But of course we know racism exists. Of course. We know that. I just never experienced it. But yeah, that's how it was.

Headlined it. They headlined it. They could definitely call me a nigga one day. See? Oh, yeah. We're in jail or? Nah, in the street. Get out of here. Let's hear this story. Headlined it. They headlined it. They could definitely call me a nigga one day. See? Oh, yeah. We in jail? Nah, in the street. Get out of here.

Let's hear this story. Let's go. He called me a nigga. He was like, nigga. Who was it? How'd this happen? It was a hip hop band. It's a store in my neighborhood.

And like, after school, so much kids going to the store that they, like, the dude would stand outside and monitor how many kids go in. So, I was a grown man, like, you know, going into this store. He would let the adults in. And he tried to, like, put me on the line. And I was like, yo, what the fuck are you doing? And I, like, go to this store all the time. So he was like, shut the fuck up, nigger.

Like, out of nowhere. In your hood? In the hood. Like, no lie. And it was like, I looked at him. And it was like, that was my first time experiencing the word nigger. And it, like, shook me up. I ain't going no lie. And it was like, I looked at him, and it was like, that was my first time experiencing the word nigga. And it, like, shook me up. I ain't going to lie.

It kind of scared me because I was like, but I had to think about it that fast that I said, this nigga want to die today, but he don't know how to commit suicide. That's all it was. I keep telling people, man, listen, if you black and a nigga run up on you and call you nigga, walk away. Don't do nothing to him. Because he want to die. He just want to get killed. That's all that shit is about. It's a trick.

He trying to put you in jail. He just broke up with his bitch. You understand what I'm saying? He just lost his job and he wanted to die that day. Any white man that call you nigga is trying to put you in jail. He's trying to prove that you a nigga. Because he just going to make up some shit like he just attacked me and you're going to be

out here looking crazy to him. He called me a nigga. Meanwhile, you got 17 degrees. You understand what I'm saying? About to be a judge and you fuck some

white motherfucker up because he called you a nigga. I don't give a fuck. Call me a nigga. I'm going to be like, you pussy though. I'll smack the shit out of you. I bet you I'll smack you.

Say I won't smack you. You know what I mean? Play with him because the thing is you ain't going to beat me. You understand? So you can call me whatever you want't smack you. You know what I mean? Play with him. Because the thing is, you ain't going to beat me. You understand? So, you can call me whatever you want to call me. You know what I mean? Was he purposely being

racist? No, he was trying to cut It came out of nowhere. It was like, it literally went from, yo, what are you doing? I need to get in the store to get my fucking backwards. And he said, you need to fucking calm down, nigger. And I was like, it was like the strongest nigger. It was like, I've never been slapped that many times.

It was like, bap, bap, bap, bap. I was like, it was a state of confusion. I was befuddled. You know what I mean? I told you what happened in Peru with Drain, right? No, that's his story. So we do the film series I was telling you on Revolt. And we went to Peru, and we're with these kids, and my boy's there with me.

And the kids are like, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga. And my boy's like, yo, man, I'm not cool with these kids saying nigga. How are they saying it? What context? Like, my nigga? Well, first of all, they barely speak English. Okay, okay. So they're like, nigga.

You know what I'm saying? In Spanish. So they speak in Spanish, and then the word nigga. And my boy, he's Jamaican from London. Yeah. And he's like, yo, I'm not feeling it. He's like, it's bad enough. Y'all motherfuckers say it.

But you know, hip hop made that word so cool. So this is what it is. So I tell the kid one day, finally, my boy is getting to a point where he's like, I'm just not feeling this no more. So I pull over the kid. Cool ass kid, wrong with you. Graffiti, all in the hip hop scene. I said, my man. I said, you need to chill, man.

My boy's, you know, he said, what's wrong with your boy? He seems a little aggravated in Spanish. He's telling me this. And I'm like, yo, you're saying nigga a lot too much. A little too much. You gotta know when to just slow it down. He goes, yo. Get the fuck out my face, nigga. No, no, he goes, yo, y'all taught us to say this. That's real.

Y'all taught us to say, so I don't understand what the problem is. Yeah, and that's what I keep telling motherfuckers, man. I can't even say nothing to you right now. You can't be out here shooting a five over niggas, son. You can't. I'm not doing it. It's almost like you got to teach people how to treat you. I'm a predicate.

I'm not doing it. I'm not going to be sitting there getting offered 12 to life. Because my offer is 12 to life. As soon as I smack you, it's 12 to life. That's my offer. You understand? I'm not doing that because you said nigga to me. I'm not doing it.

It's so hypocritical because it's like, yo, we say, oh, we took the power out the word because we call ourselves the word. If we really took the power out of it, then it shouldn't bother you when another motherfucker said it to you. Exactly. And that's my point. Don't be worried about it. Another nigga said it.

Let him say it. Go, hey, if that nigga get fired from his jaw, let him get fired from his jaw. You just laugh. Like, look at this stupid motherfucker. And I'm up to say it. Go ahead. If that nigga get fired from his job, let him get fired from his job. You just laugh. You're a stupid motherfucker. And I'm up to say nigga. You know what I mean? But the flip of it is, for me, like obviously, I'm a Latin dude. So a couple years ago.

Y'all niggas too. I'm a Cuban dude. But no, no. But I'm Cuban. You a nigga too unless you're a racist Cuban. I get it. But I'm in Atlanta one time years ago. I'm a jit.

I'm a young kid. And I'm in the elevator. And this older black lady comes in the elevator, and me and my boys are talking. We're like, nigga, nigga, nigga. And I see her face, just like, she just, like, looked sad. And it hurt me, because I realized she had been, you know, through all this shit. She was probably around through the civil rights movement. No, she was.

She probably got sprayed with a hose. That's what hurt me. She probably fucked Martin Luther King. That hurt me. I felt like, yo, okay, this is a little wrong of me. You know what I'm saying? This is where I felt

the other side of it and I get it, you know? Now, I'm going to switch the subject because y'all trying to be intelligent. Y'all! Lori was tight!

I was, what the fuck? Lori was stressed out just now. All right, let me let them get this shit out. But you know what, that shit right there is exactly why

I don't feel like I ever felt racism. Because if I be in a motherfucking store and a white dude was eyeing me down and shit, it's because I was about to do some bullshit anyway. I done stole out this motherfucking store before. I done did shit in this store. So I don't think he's doing nothing because I'm black. Yeah, word up, man. Sometimes you got to wake up and be like, listen, my nigga, I look like I did it.

Word up. And I do do it. So I can't be mad at a motherfucker for having good instincts. So like the muscle dude in the plane, he look like he did it? It'd be so sad. Like, you know, I'm a Brooklyn scammer. So, you know, all my niggas scam. And it'd be having me so sad.

Is that what Desiree is talking about when he goes, I do cards in Atlanta. Credit cards in the scammers. That's what he's saying. Hitting the licks in the band's saying. This is actually like an underground world of scammers. Can you break down what a scammer is for me? You know, just scamming. Everybody's a scammer. White people started scamming.

We didn't. We just followed suit. Scamming is taking money in a legal way. You know what I mean? Anything that you could end up on motherfucking American Greed for is scamming. It's not hustling. It's a hustle.

It's a hustle. People out here feeding their families off scamming right now. When you say you're scamming, you ain't saying you're selling drugs. No, no, no. You ain't selling no drugs.

I'm going to have to ask you to relax. It's the credit card shit. I feel like most scammers, I know, I'm just stereotyping, but they'll be Haitian and shit Haitians Jamaicans

I'm not going to Think of that whole shit They from Africa They're Nigerian The main ones are Nigerian I've been getting Nigerian emails Since email existed

So it came from Nigeria Yeah Because it'd be any scam It could be lottery scams They'll call you and say Hey can you send this That and the third We're sending you a check for this.

It's so many different scams. Scamming is a huge world of scamming. This is a dude that when Katrina happened, he figured out a way to get oil tickets and made $7 million. Scamming is like, it could be anything.

Bernie Madoff was a scammer. Scamming is like, it could be anything. Itadoff was a scammer Fact You know what I mean Fact So like scamming is like It could be anything It's just lower level scammers Like Troy Ave called me I was a lower level scammer He wasn't lying about that You know what I mean

I think motherfuckers That be scamming Be scared to sell crack Huh I feel like if you scam You scared to sell crack That's true But you know what

Crack is not as big As it used to be Yeah Crack ain't that cool Weed is like the new crack now. Everybody got weed now. There's little mad, unproductive little niggas that smoke weed. What about prescription pills?

Yeah, pills. Yeah, I don't understand that shit. That's some whole nother level. I don't understand that. I do understand it because I used them. So this is why I tell niggas I know this shit is fucked up. What? Because when I sold crack in Allentown.

What did you use? Viking, Percocet, Xanax? What did you use? I used to use Xanny's, Valium, and Percs when I was at Allentown. What did they used to do for you? You smoke weed, you pop a Perc. It's mad different effects. Mellow you out.

You know what I mean? These is downers. These is opiates. This is what I try to explain to people. It tear the lining of your stomach up. You start shitting weird. You get weird shit patterns. Sometimes you might be constipated for three weeks.

Won't shit. You understand? And you can die from that. That's not worth the high. I think tax need more downers, man. The only time you don't take, except on podcast day. Weed, weed, weed.

Weed is my medicine. That's why I've been out of prison for so long. I smoked a lot of weed. And I ain't gonna front. Your diet is very put together. He got a salad. It's a balance.

Look at his balance. It's a balance. Level spell back on his level. You got a balance. Cognac balance. Look at his balance. It's a balance. Levels fell back on his level. You got a balance. Cognac and kale. Cognac and kale. So let me ask you, Charlemagne,

there was a rumor when you worked in Philly that you reported on some Jay-Z story or something. And then, did you ever think that rumor was true

that Jay got you fired? What happened was, I used to drive to Philly every morning from Jersey to do radio. And that wasn't Wendy Williams. Nah, I was doing my own motor show.

That was your own, 100.3 The Beat. And that night, K. Slay had played a Beanie Seagull diss record to Jay-Z. Remember that shit? And that shit, that was like one of the first Twitter moments. Because motherfuckers like Fab was tweeting. Niggas had sad faces like, oh, man, B's going at J. So I'm like, yo, I do radio in Philly. I got to get beans on the radio in the morning.

Okay. So I ain't no beans. I just threw a shot in the duct to one of his people. He called into the show and ended up on the phone for like an hour. Oh, wow. Just Aaron, Aaron Hove out, you know? And it's like, they say that Monday. He woke up one day.

It was a gloomy day. It was a naughty call. Hey, what happened? I came back to work that Monday. He woke up one day. It was a gloomy day. It was a naughty call. What happened? I came back to work that Monday. Wait, wait, and you did this on Friday? I did this on a Friday.

Nah, man. Word up, because Halloween was Saturday. I'll never forget. We had a Halloween party on Saturday. And Jay-Z commented on it that Friday.

He had Twitter? Nah, he was at something, a press conference, some rich shit. I don't know, and they asked him about it. And he was like something, a press conference, some rich shit. I don't know. And they asked him about it. And he was like, yo, you heard what Beanie said?

And he said, yeah, well, Beanie only went gold, but he had a label. He had a clothing line. I did all I could for him, basically. But that Monday, came into work. He was like, we need to talk to you after the show. I'm like, all right. Let you do the show? Yeah, let me do the show.

Okay. I even played the Beanie interview again that Monday. Thinking I got some shit. Shit that like, all right. Let you do the show? Yeah, let me do the show. Okay. I even played the Beanie interview again that Monday. I think I got some shit. Right. That shit done with Byron all weekend. Right,

right. That Monday's like, oh, we're moving in another direction. I'm like, what? What direction,

nigga? We're moving in another direction. So since then, do you ever think that it was true that it was Holt? When Holt came to

the Burfers Club, that was the first question we asked him. Okay, hold on, I don't remember this part. So to the breakfast club, that was the first question we asked him. Okay, hold on, I don't remember this part. So you asked him and what did he say? Well, Envy asked him

and what did he say? Big homie just... He dodged it. He looked at me? Yep. He looked back at the room like, he ain't saying yes or no. Yeah, he dodged it.

Nigga, he did that shit. It's like that yes, don't say it. Let's make some noise for Hov being the genie. Nobody's better. He's a genie, man. Nobody does it better. He's a god the genie. Nobody's better. He's a genie, man. He's a goddamn genie.

But hey, man, maybe I need to learn a lesson. Did you learn a lesson, or you still was like, fuck it? Shit is New York radio now. Yeah, you damn right. I learned a lesson. The best lesson you learned. So what happened after that? Did you go...

You want to know the lesson I learned? Go ahead. You niggas don't want to, well, Ho. That's it. Simple and home. That's it. Simple as that. That's it. So did you go back to, what did you do after that? You know what's so crazy?

That day, I had all my shit packed in my old Cadillac Escalade because I was moving into my townhouse in Philly that day. Oh, you was in Jersey going to Philly. I was going right after work. I was going right to the townhouse to put the shit in. And I you was leaving Jersey going to Philly. I was going right after work. I was going right to the townhouse to put the shit in. And I already had to get a deposit

and everything. I'm like, yeah, it's a change in plans. So I went back to the place and they gave me my deposit back.

And I remember I had to pick Duval up from the airport like two days later. I still had all my shit. I had nowhere to go. In the car? Yeah.

So Duval goes, no, man. The nigga reaching his pocket, put out a stack like, yeah, man. Yeah, you homeless? Like. Oh, wow. Duvall goes, no, man. The nigga reaching his pocket, put out a stack like, hey, man. Hey, are you homeless? Like, nigga, no. I'm in between shit right now.

That's all. You good. What the fuck is wrong with you? How did you, so what was your next job after that? I went back to South Carolina for like a year. I went back to South Carolina. And doing radio or just? Nah, I ain't doing no radio.

I was collecting unemployment. Get the fuck out of here. And you know what's so crazy? I was rich off unemployment. Because when I got fired from Wendy, I never collected it. That's not like a song. That's a scam. That's a scam.

I never collected it from Wendy. Never collected it from Philly. Matter of fact, I never had collected it from none of my jobs I got fired from. So I had years of unemployment in South Carolina, Jersey, and Philly combined. New York, everything. So I was good. I literally lived I lived off unemployment For a year

Every week $1,500 So then after that How did you get the call To come to New York How did this How did this come about I came up here

The summer Of 2010 I drove up from South Carolina I bought one of my homegirls Up here to do a photo shoot With XXL That was a scam too Them XXL niggas

Was doing I'ma get the pussy Sean Malcolm That nigga was fucking I ain't never seen None of those girls I used to come to those auditions up here to do a photo shoot with XXL. That was a scam, too. Them XXL niggas is doing them a good pussy. Sean Malcolm, that nigga was fucking. Okay? Because I ain't never seen none of those girls. I used to come to those auditions. They ain't even been in the magazine. That's it.

Let's make some noise for Sean Malcolm. Shout out to Sean Malcolm. Great scam. Great scam. I came up here that summer. Well, you know, before that, I had an interview with Power. Because when I got fired from Philly,

G-Spin called me immediately. Okay. This is the whole allegation. Right after Philly. So I went and had a... But G-Spin was still in Boston. Nah, G-Spin was in New York on Power. Oh, okay, that's right.

This was before even Envy got there. Okay, because they didn't have a morning show, or did they? Nah. So I had a meeting with them, and they wanted to hire me then, but they wasn't too fond of my management at the time. My management was my man Kevin Hunter, Wendy Williams' husband. Oh, okay.

So they didn't hire me because they didn't like my affiliation with him. Okay. Yeah, so then, you know, it was kind of a blessing in disguise when me and him had a falling out because when I came back here in the summer of 2010, you know, the first thing G-Spin asked me

when I got to the station was like, yo, so what's up with your manager? I'm like, he don't manage me no more. So that's when the whales went in motion. Now that was his idea. I seen G-Spin yesterday.

Peace I ain't going to front That shit be bugging me The fuck out Because I grew up Listening to y'all niggas What y'all niggas Want to hate for

On Bleak's first album Coming of age Yo let me tell you That's the first thing I said to Bleak When Ho called me You know like that's the first thing I said to Bleak when Hov called me. You know, like, because at the end of the day,

like, as much as I love, like, you know, like, I love and look up to Hov, I don't want to speak to that nigga. Like, yo, let me tell you something. Wayne had to put his number

in my phone because I didn't want it. Why? Like, I would just rather speak to Mac Mayne. Like, you know what I'm saying? Because sometimes when you get to a certain level, I want to look at you like that person.

I don't even want to look at you like a regular person. You know what I'm saying? I enjoy looking up to people. I enjoy having idols. Right now, my idols used to all be black. Now all my idols is Anthony Bourdain, Bill Moore, and Larry David. I think it's a difference between idols and inspiration.

Inspiration, yeah. I mean, but they're my idols too, though, because Anthony Bourdain, I can't even front. He's legendary, man. If you could have the worst fucking food in the world, but if Anthony Bourdain eat that,

I'm going to be like, fuck it. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to eat it with your feet. I'm going to be like, I'm going to try. You know what I'm saying? be like, fuck it. You're going to eat it with your feet. I'm going to be like, I'm going to try. You know what I'm saying? That nigga gets paid to fucking travel, drink, and eat.

That's what I want to do. You know what I'm saying? So I look up to Anthony Bourdain. I look up to Larry David because when I actually— Wait, Larry David or Larry Davis? No, David Kirby. I used to look up to Larry Davis. I look up to Larry Davis.

Yeah, but I look up to Larry David because... You're taxed five more years. He'll be looking up to Larry David. Yeah, Larry David. He's still inspired by the gangsters right now. Give him a mention. Shout out to Blue Boy. I was cool with you too, man, but you shouldn't have killed Larry.

But listen, so when I... I was so much of a fan of Kirby and enthusiasm that I used to watch the bonus features, all that. And when I finally looked and I seen that he, his whole show was improv. Like, it was some shit that, like, you got to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm. Like, it's all improv. So they'll be like, Charlemagne, just make sure you say, go across the street and go to the Johnny part.

And they'll say, Tax, make sure you say, you know, fuck that. We ain't doing this. I went to school for improv. So they'll be like, Charlemagne, just make sure you say go across the street and go to the Johnny part. And that's the attacks. Make sure you say, you know, fuck that. We ain't doing this. I went to school for improv. You know what I'm saying? And this whole shit was improv

and the way he did it, I was like, that's exactly what I want to be. Like, I don't want to be, like when a person, I go to do interviews and they be like,

yo, yo, this is the questions. I be like, yo, man, get that shit the fuck away from me. I be like,

yo, get that shit the fuck away because I don't want to prep to be me. I don't need to prep to be, take that shit the fuck away from me. I'd be like, yo, get that shit the fuck away because I don't want to prep to be me. I don't need to prep to be me. Like you need structure but no script. Right.

That's the mediums I'm trying to find in fucking TV right now. You know what I'm saying? Because in TV, they want you to be all scripted. Nah, I'm not doing that. Yeah, man.

I hate that scripted shit, man. Like, I just want to speak. Like, I just want to be free. Now, would you do TV? I'm about to do TV. He's going to do TV. Let's get you on Love & Hip Hop. Like, I just want to be free. Now, would you do TV? I'm about to do TV. He's going to do TV.

Let's get you on Love & Hip Hop. Nah, nah, nah, nah. No, not Love & Hip Hop. I ain't Love & Hip Hop. I be done shot four people in there. Two women. I don't give a fuck about that shit. Let me tell you something about Love & Hip Hop.

Love & Hip Hop is for homeless niggas. You understand what I'm saying? As soon as you're about to be homeless, you're going to Love & Hip Hop. I'm not about to be homeless. It don't matter how broke I am. Soon as you about to be homeless You gonna love the hip hop I'm not about to be homeless It don't matter how broke I am I'm never gonna be homeless You know why Cause I got a decent sized dick

And I know how to speak You understand what I'm saying I'm not gonna be homeless So that's why I don't need Love and hip hop And I'm not trying to shit On love and hip hop Or none of them broke niggas

On that show I'm not trying to do that What I'm saying is that I'm not doing that Because I have talent You understand what I'm saying I will say this I call I'm saying is that I'm not doing that because I have talent. I won't say this. I call it lies and hip-hop. I think it's cool for women, though. This season in New York was probably the best season

talent-wise. Remy was unbelievable. Everybody else probably was homeless on there. Shout out to Pat for just being a gentleman and a good husband to his woman and you know holding her down

through prison I always tell niggas man I've never seen women get held down in jail I've never seen it Barack Obama

need to give Pat some kind of medal he should have a get out of freak jail card perhaps he should just body somebody and just be like

look I look I got the card like look I'm about to get my wrist he did not have to do that he did not have to do that I He did not have to do that.

I never seen nobody do it. I never seen a man in his position. Not in my generation. So let me ask you a question, Charlamagne. You get together with Envy. You knew Envy prior to this? I did know Envy because I used to have this artist signed to me named Little Rue. We actually had a partnership.

We never heard of Little Rue. We never heard of him. He had a record called Nasty Song And it was big in South Carolina In South Carolina Yeah but then But then it charted on Billboard And Envy was a big part of that

Because Yeah Because we sat down with Envy Me and Kev Wendy's husband And asked him to play the record Like just on some love shit No money exchange

No none of that Like yo we had dinner Like yo I really need this look You saying Envy taking money No I'm saying You're losing That's how you sell that bitch Man 2.3 No There ain't no none of that. Like, yo, we had dinner. Like, yo, I really need this look. You saying Envy taking money? No. I'm saying. That's how you sell that bitch, man. 2.3.

No, no, no. I'm just playing. But you know that's the perception. When DJ show you love, they just like, oh, I'm sorry. But he played the record just off the scrimp on Hot 97. So I always thought he was just a good nigga from that.

And then did you know Angela Yee? I did know Angela. Because Angela used to invite me to come do Shea 45. So I used to do Shape 45 with her. And it was her and Cypher show? No, just her. Oh, okay. It was her and Wanda.

Lip service? No. Shout out to Angela Yee. She used to do the morning show. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. So now, here it goes, right?

Shout out to Angela Yee with that fat ass. It was G-Spin? It was G-Spin who put y'all together? G-Spin and Cadillac Jack called to play. And I remember Cadillac called me and said, who would you want to do mornings with? And I said, Angela Yee. I didn't even think of Envy. I said, Angela Yee.

And he was like, well, ain't Angela just like you? I'm like, nah, Angela's nothing like me. You know? And so he was like, okay. And then a few months later, they was like, that's what we're going to do. We're going to add Envy because he's from New York. He's got a lot of familiarity in the market. Right.

And that was that. And Angela Yee and Envy only worked in New York. You worked in South Carolina. Right. Philly. South Carolina, New York, Philly, and now back in New York. And is New York your favorite market? Yeah, it is. Of course, man.

That's right. It's New York. It's the number one market. You have to. That's what pay you. That's what pay you. So where was the moment? This is the question I was trying to get to. I course, man. It's New York. It's the number one market. That's what pay you. Where was the moment? I'm about to go do radio in Minnesota.

Alpine. Somewhere. But what was the moment when you said this show was going to work? First day. The first day. You know why? Because that fucking Moment for Life shit was out. Remember that shit when Nicki was back? She was like, in this moment, we'll be syndicated. And I used to always sing that shit. Like, yeah, let's put that in the promos.

Angeline would be like, man, shut your corny ass up. You're not putting no fucking Moment for Life in the promos, whatever, whatever. But I just knew. It was just an energy. You just could feel it.

Like, from day one, I'm like, yo, this is going to be something monumental for radio. When did you make the transition to TV? What was the first thing? Yo, crazy. Two years doing The Breakfast Club.

2010, around early 2012, MTV2 hollered at me. My man Paul and Candida and Chris. And I was like, why y'all want me to do TV? And this is people from MTV2? Yeah. I don't do no TV. I did some things with Wendy on the VH1 show, but I never did TV. And he's like, yeah, we want to sign you to a deal.

I'm like, a deal? So he wanted to sign me as a personality for the network. Right. So I did some things with Wendy on the VH1 show, but I never did TV. He's like, yeah, we want to sign you to a deal. I'm like, a deal? So he wanted to sign me as a personality for the network. Right. So I did it. You know what I mean? And when I did it, you know, we did Guy Code. That was the first show. But I didn't even think in my mind that MTV2 was going to become what it became.

Because Guy Code was literally like the second original show MTV2 ever did, period. Before that, it was Sucker Free with Envy. And then, like, Guy Code was like... And it like God God cold and it was like was the guy court later on it turns in the guy guy caught it turns in the girl cold little ball ended up getting his own show from that and do that his own show from that I got uncommon sense now this I know I'm a drunk dude my favorite show is Bill Moore and when I went and did your show and then when I went and I studied your show afterwards,

I was like, yo, this is the hood version of Bill Moore. That's the feeling we're going for. How the fuck did I go there drunk? But you had the little white lady. She just kept filling my drinks up.

Is that how y'all had to? Every week. That's what we're doing. It's like they had a white lady hired. Like, as soon as you, the drink get low, she just come and pour it.

Viacom, man. They just out here just. Let's make some noise for Viacom. Get people drunk. Let's make some goddamn for Viacom. Get people drunk. Let's make some goddamn noise. We come back April 1st. April 1st.

Common Sense. Yeah, I got Andrew Schultz and Crystal on every episode. I wanted tax on every episode, but that's too much of a liability. You can't... I understand. That's all I ever want

people to know is I understand. But he'll be on a lot of episodes. I don't ever... I understand Right Word

When they say Nigga I never thought nothing about TV So that's why when niggas be like Did you understand That Ja Rule That when y'all came up there They went Ja

And when you just said I didn't think Ja Rule would've said that What did he say again? He said that he won Well I understand What he meant by that From a street perspective No from a street perspective. We can't ever discuss

the streets with these people. That's why I told him, not really. Because the kill comes from the industry, the music. What we believe was the kill. It don't come from the street. Now, I'm with the street.

I understand what you mean. But guess what? The niggas in Arkansas don't come from the street. Now, I'm with the street. You understand? I understand what you mean. But guess what? The niggas in Arkansas don't see that. They only see the music. They didn't see it. It's not on tape. If they could have seen it on tape, if they could have seen you violating 50 Cent on tape, it's different. You know what the funny shit is?

All we've seen was 50 harassing him. You know what the funny shit is? After that came out, the next day, it was like the next week I did your podcast and Ja called me, remember? And I was like,

yo, I'm with Tax Stone right now. He said, tell that nigga not really. I like Ja. I like Ja. I like the fact that

Ja didn't get that mad. He went along with the joke. Nah. Didn't before you know Tax, somebody try to

get you to kill Tax? Yeah, that's true. Yo, he's a bad guy. Like, I didn't plan this to go this way. And you know what, somebody try to get you to kill Tex? Yeah, that's true. I know he's a bad guy. Like, I didn't plan this to go this far. And you know what's the crazy shit?

Nigga tried to get no real on me. Nigga said, yo, you know this nigga? And I'm like, I don't really know. And I think I was already following you on Twitter.

I'm not even sure. But I was like, all right, cool. And I go to see Charlamagne, and this nigga's right here. I was like, damn, I done fell in love with a nigga.

Pause. Pause. But, like, this nigga's my type of nigga. Like, he's sitting there. We kicking it. We drinking. I'm like, nigga's like. You laughing with him?

I'm like, hold up. I'm like, damn, that nigga just asked me, do I know this nigga? I was like, that's why I tell niggas all the time. Like, I'm too grown to be, like, if you got beef with somebody, that's y'all shit, my nigga. Exactly. And that's how it always been. I ain't got nothing to do with that shit, man. Fucking widows.

So, you know, on that note, we got to take these pictures by that CBS logo because they're giving hood niggas. They're not only just Elliot Wilson and B-Dot, but they're giving hood niggas a chance at CBS. For the record, we ain't take this. We ain't take this. So if the fans don't get the little Instagram shit, but they let niggas in CBS. Let's make some noise for that guy. And we in CBS. And there's no wider network on TV than CBS.

This is right. The only nigga on CBS is LL and Bow Wow. Listen, listen. All I want is my employee badge and then I'ma try like football season. I'm like, I'ma just look at him.
