Starting point is 00:02:46 There have been so many great moments over the past year. Take a listen to some of those captivating moments in this special best-up episode. Hey, me, welcome back to the 85th South episode. Yeah, man. We're doing our big food today, man. We got none other than the super talented. We got to get more good. Give them a good.
Starting point is 00:03:05 The super dope. The super instrumental. Part of one of the hardest rap groups and rap history, man. Hey, man, multicultural kid. Make music all across the boy, whether it be for the hood, whether it be for South America, whether it be for Haiti. He didn't ran for president. I got one of the highest grossest.
Starting point is 00:03:27 selling albums of all times, man. None other the legendary Haitian Mr. Wycliffe. Mr. Whitecliffe, Mr. Whitecliffe, Mr. Whiteleff. Give it up. Come on, man. New York, you know, that was when you first
Starting point is 00:03:49 touched down, but, like, how did you feel when, were you already Wyclef, when you got to go down to Miami and see the presence that the Haitian people, have down there like were you already famous or did you get to see that prior to you becoming a superstar so it's a deep question so you had two sets brewing at the time so we was in Brooklyn Jersey the refugees and the thing is now if you look back at the refugees John Forte who got the first pardon now
Starting point is 00:04:22 hold on that I got to ask you this yeah yeah I had no hug an idea who John Forte was until he just showed up on the Wycleft song, but we was rocking with your shit so hard. We're just like, oh, it's Wycliffe button. Yeah. Like today, like, say somebody you feel has talent, you're gonna put them on a feature, you know what I mean? So John was those, John was always in the studio,
Starting point is 00:04:44 he was part of doing the beats, he was part of the, John was part of the brain trust or the Hoogis. So, and automatically, definitely John had the vibe. So I was saying, like, when we look at it, John historically, was one of the first rappers that got a pardon from a president for his charge. It was George Bush, right? So now I bring you there to show you like when we say like the refugees,
Starting point is 00:05:14 it was literally taking a negative and making a positive out of it, right, without having a top move. Right. So we was there. Then you had the Zopalm that was in Miami, right? So, so let me tell you the story, the real story. Give me a lighter. Right?
Starting point is 00:05:33 So, don't want to get a lighter. So, blood clot lights, I want. So I remember we was doing a show with Buzhou, Bonta, in Miami. Salute to the General. We was doing the show, and I'm downstairs. And keep in mind, we're bubbling, but we're still not. And then my man like, yo, my man Shyam and say, yo, there's these dudes upstairs, you know?
Starting point is 00:06:02 Like, they're not going to get off, you know, they're on by the stage because my role manager has to get them. I say, yo, it's not going to get off, man, to you. You know, they're just like they got to see you. So I go and we kids. And the minute I see Makazzo, Maca Zoh looks like my brother. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:24 So literally, see, the thing about Hayden, It's tribes. Right. So me and Mac just start to hug each other, and it's just an energy with kids. Right. So the idea of the refugees and the idea of like Zopown, it was a movement of struggle,
Starting point is 00:06:44 and like we're going to show like the world that we're on top and we could do better. So I was the first dude, no cap, that put a festival together in Miami this is long before Ultra and all these festivals I'm the first one the carnival
Starting point is 00:07:03 the carnival was the name of the festival Aaliyah you could Google it Timberlin Usher that's the first time if Usher's watching this he knows that's the first time people thought Usher was Haitian that's where the room started
Starting point is 00:07:16 it started on my festival because I had Usher say sac passe and every time we see each other he'd be like yo you know it's because you had me say endless. I keep going and going and going. So, and I remember being in the audience with Makazzo, when we both looking at each other. And he was like, yo man, this is, this is the vision, man. Like, we're going to take this music thing to the next level. So he's a big inspiration because it was like brother talking a brother. So we like in the middle of this festival, we're talking. So
Starting point is 00:07:53 I'm going to show you how deep it is. So when you watch a video I have, which is called MVP compa. MVP compa, you spoke about the Crayal music that I do too. So in the intro of that video, now if y'all go back and watch it, the minute the songs start, that's me and Macazo.
Starting point is 00:08:10 In the very intro. And it's in Crayal. So again, we was celebrating the idea of life, the idea of music, red eyes, all these guys. It was an idea of positivity. This was the start of everything.
Starting point is 00:08:25 This is what it was going to be. So the embracement was like this, because we all was reping the flag. And it was sort of like, it's like one set, meeting another set, but part of the same set. You know what I'm saying to you? It's a big same flag because we're all up on the one. Yeah, so I take Freemakazzo. You mean that. I mean Freemakazzo.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I got to ask you this. What did you learn when you ran for president? Like, because you, this is real, this top office over there. What was some of the lessons that you learned or some of the things that you didn't know about government that you came in? Well, I remember calling like my closest friends and I was like, yo, I'm going to run to be present in the Haiti. And all I heard was, nigga, you're crazy, click, right? Okay, nigga, I'll be at the funeral, click, right? Nick, I got me at the funeral, Clay, right?
Starting point is 00:09:22 You got my blood? Congratulations. You did it. You think I got Snoop on the Whitecliffe. Barack, you next. You know, oh, I can't wait and tell my son, but you know your dad smoked Snoop Dogg and White Cliff, right? Man, there's some good shit.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I feel good. I feel good. Salasi. Sao passe? Not right here. Yeah. So here we go. On a real talk.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Right. So when I ran for president, here the real talk. Right. So we seen Kanye run. Did. Jordan. Trump, I go way back, like, saying, like, with Trump, I'm just showing you, like, I remember one of my early shows that I did, like, was for Donald Trump. This is before he was president.
Starting point is 00:10:13 And I have, like, a picture. I'm just showing you this is, like, at a time. when I was running, right? So I was on the apprentice. I'm just giving you a different thing. The idea of a celebrity saying like, yo, I'm going to run for office of a country. They're like, yo, what you want? Right.
Starting point is 00:10:31 What you want? Right. So there was like, yo, Clef stole money from his country. Right? So they start this smear campaign. That's how they try to get you. Right. What made me run and what made me think I could be president is the most important thing.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Right. So let's get into it. There's what you see on camera and there's what you see behind the camera. I'm seeing. So before I ran in 2005, when George Bush gave the order for Colin Powell, RP to the general, had to go to Haiti and literally kidnapped the president at the time, Aristin, and take them out the country. Right? It's 2005.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I remember watching, I was in Paris. I remember and this was like past those dates and I remember I'm watching TV and a kid comes on the TV in Paris and He says the only person that could make us put our guns down is why cleft jump Now why he say that because even as a Fuji the score the Grammys put up my flag even when I'm on doing music for Sony I'm still doing music in Crayall and I'm sending it back to Haiti the same way Biggie would do music
Starting point is 00:11:55 and Brooklyn feels like that Biggie is a Bible so I would do music like that I don't know so there was always that connection with them so and that kid his name is Haitian Tupac. Now let me show you how the gangs was working in Haiti you have to be a hell of a nigga right? Yeah
Starting point is 00:12:11 it's a street name for your head. Yeah you hear me and then I need everybody after this to go watch the ghost of Cite Soleil and get deeper. All of the kids that was in the Cite Soleil at the time was inspired by hip-hop. So they gave themselves hip-hop names. So go watch the doc.
Starting point is 00:12:36 You're going to see 50 cents. Like he calls himself 50 cents. He's a Haitian. And it goes on and on. So we got a chance to do a doc. You'll see it on these kids. So I want y'all to get deep into the gang culture down there, just to understand where it comes from. So just to say that touched me when he said that, and I said, you know, I'm done with music.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Like, what other record can I possibly break? My people need me. Slumdog Millionaire. I came from that village, and I'm going to go back and put my entire heart into that. Now, what didn't y'all see behind the cameras? Me in Haiti. with all the gangs at the time saying look
Starting point is 00:13:20 I'm gonna put this if y'all see any of these trucks coming and they have a yearly Haiti sticker don't rob them right they're here to work for us they're here to work for you right I was inside of these communities with like women
Starting point is 00:13:35 giving money out and having them start small businesses I was the one that was getting on the plane going from Haiti to Washington in D.C. to negotiate what the gangs wanted with the U.N. at the time. This is all me. This is before I ran for president.
Starting point is 00:13:54 I was the one that went to Congress and was like, yo, dog, like at the end of the day, I need you to pass this bill so that the textile can be on point and we could bring more job creations. This is me. This is not on camera.
Starting point is 00:14:10 This is what's happening in real time. So when I ran, I knew I could do it. Because I felt like I was the face of the country. For My Heart Podcasts in Rococo Punch, this is The Turning, River Road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced to. them into a secret life of abuse.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey.
Starting point is 00:15:11 And then he became the prey. Listen to The Turning River Road on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:22:22 I was talking about that particular. I was talking about all these things out here. And the funny thing about it. You're talking about, okay, particulars in general. Just all around particles. Okay, and using these particulars, they talk about everybody else that used to be a particular.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Because you grow from it. They talk about everybody else. And these particulars usually go for the most successful motherfuckers. They usually go for the motherfuckers that's doing it. They usually go for motherfuckers that broke down walls for everybody. They usually go and deal motherfuckers. They don't fuck with motherfuckers that's like, Lord, they go for the big dogs. And they make excuses for those people.
Starting point is 00:22:57 They make excuses. Oh, he got this because of this. He got this because he did that. And this is not anyone in particular, but this goes for the industry. motherfucker so often when to sit back and talk shit and don't realize the way you make it is by have work ethics the way you make it is by doing what the next nigger won't do and i ain't talking about no sexual shit i'm saying going harder you got too old i just i got to say this because niggas be taking words and flippin the oh he did this and that man he wong o wong o wong up
Starting point is 00:23:27 and i'm thinking this man i'm just trying the world to the world no dickers you ain't got this this is all i'm trying to say man for all your young actors and comedians that's coming up right now. You don't have to suck a dick to make it. Can I say it any clearer than that? Guess how you can make it. Okay. You got to kiss no, no, no. You ain't got to kiss no ass. You ain't got to kiss no ass. You ain't got to take it in the ass to make it. What you got to do is go hard and have some work ethics and be motherfucking good at what the fuck you do. That's what you got to do. I think of all these motherfuckers going out there. I'm sick of all these things, right? I'm in here trying to be all calm, man. I'm sick of these particular ass niggas. The fuck out my face, man. Jay Z said it.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Women lie, men lie, but numbers don't, nika. Ah. No, I'm just sad, man. I'm sick of it. A nigga worked too hard, man. So what's... I don't know what you're talking about, son.

Knickers, stop making excuses and blaming other shit. If you look at most motherfuckers in this business that are really good,
Starting point is 00:24:55 you could probably, Carlos, you could probably say, well, he didn't make it because of this or didn't happen because of this. You go of a life's choice. A lot of times it's drugs, right? A lot of times it's niggas get caught up in the bitches. You know what I'm saying? You can break it down.
Starting point is 00:25:09 But you tell a motherfucker that's focus. Like, I get sick of motherfuckers talking. They do this to Kevin. And I ain't here to defend anybody. They do this to Kevin. They do this to Dave. They want to fuck with these, what you understand is everybody's path is different. I can't let nobody say when they say, Kevin Hart is a plant and everything.
Starting point is 00:25:32 To me, that's bullshit. And the reason why I know is bullshit, when I was doing them nigger rooms, Peppermint Lounge and all them type of shit. Guess it was in them rooms? Kevin. Kevin didn't fucking start doing showcases shit. That nigga was in nigger rooms doing the impression of monkeys and cabarets and shit.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Wait a minute. No, he used to one of his best jokes. He used to do this monkey. He looked little, so he sold it. I don't know he did like this or something. He sold it, right? I ain't said a nigga monkey. He'll tell you.
Starting point is 00:26:05 He had a joke. He used to do this. thing like this thing, he had a joke, and it was a monkey currency, and he did his hands like this, and niggas went crazy. That's fucking crazy. They didn't know that this monkey nigga was going to be an international movie star.
Starting point is 00:26:18 That didn't know monkey business was going to turn in that shit, said. That thing was like this. He used to do the joke like this. He used to do like this stuff. And then he would run. I don't even, I don't know if he said it. But he, I don't know if he said it.
Starting point is 00:26:30 It was his joke, nigger. You look at me like, he might not want you to see it. I'm like, what the fuck. That nigga proud of being a monkey. Yo, he came up being that monkey, nigger. They didn't know him until he started being the monkey. Ask anybody.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Ask anybody. Ask anybody. Ask anybody. I'm not saying this as race. He was like this. He would do like this. Yo, he would do that. Y'all think, yo, he would do like this.
Starting point is 00:26:58 This is what he did, nigga. Nick, I'm telling you this. I can't even look at this, man. He did like this. He did like this. He did like this. He did like this. get like this, and then he throw his hands up
Starting point is 00:27:08 like monkey hands, and then he'll do that again, and then he'd go back over the corner like this. That's what he did, and the nigger blew up. Yo, he did that. He will never do that joke ever again, and he's like... I guess if he's seen this shit right now, if he with his friends, guess what they're going to do?
Starting point is 00:27:26 The monkey joke. They're going to be like, yeah. I bet. I guarantee you, the niggins like, when they get mad at him on the Jets, when they be on the Jets, when they're on the Jets, on the Jets and they get mad and jealousy like this. Yeah, we remember you used to do monkey jokes, nigger.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I don't remember the monkey joke, but I do remember the ostrich joke. Here's the point. The point I'm making, they try to discredit a nigga hustle. The motherfucker had enough sense. He used to do this. The nigga used to commute from Philly. They don't, this story don't tell people. He used to do the go-hard rooms,
Starting point is 00:28:00 then he'd go do the mainstream rooms. He would mix it up. He used to come. I remember handing Kevin Hart $75 for a spot. And he didn't really do that well in the room. You know what I'm saying? Because his comedy wasn't edgy like that. He didn't do that well in the room.
Starting point is 00:28:16 But it was just like a brotherhood that we all had. The comedians from the D.C. area, Philly and all of us had rooms. We used to swap rooms. You know how it is. You go do a run. And I saw, this is what I'm saying. I saw his hustle, not just hustle for the streets. not just hustle for the streets
Starting point is 00:28:34 not just like I'm in these streets he was in the streets but at the same time he was like I'm going to cross that street and I'm going to go talk to them motherfuckers too and that's what people understand they can say what they want this business do is it gatekeepers
Starting point is 00:28:45 in this business you're motherfucking right is there people that block motherfuckers shit motherfucker fucking right either you learn how to navigate your way around it or you do your own shit you ain't got to I'm not saying you got to do what they do but if you don't want to work
Starting point is 00:29:00 within what this system is, then go do it yourself. These niggas keep talking about Hollywood. Fuck Hollywood. Move, nigger. Go to the country. If you got a problem with Hollywood, get the fuck out of Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Why you want to stay in an sessive shit like that? And especially the day we and now, you can do your own shit. This show is an example of saying, fuck Hollywood. We're going to do it our own way. And when you do that, and when you do that, guess what?
Starting point is 00:29:33 When you do that, guess what? Hollywood comes to you. Ms. Erica Banks is in the trap with us today. First of all, how you doing? I'm good, how you doing? You're looking like you're having fun with it. I am. A nigger could never do enough.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Oh, please. Never do enough. Please, niggas don't do enough. Why not? What's enough? I'm about to say, what is enough? What is enough? Niggas just don't do enough.
Starting point is 00:30:02 What is enough? I feel like everybody has their own definition of enough. So what's yours? Yeah, we'll take yours. My definition of enough where I'm not complaining, a scene where or a situation where I'm not... Show me a scenario where a woman's not complaining about that.
Starting point is 00:30:20 What? It's situations where women do not have to complain about nothing and they're satisfied and their men is enough because they're like, okay, I'm satisfied. I'm never like. Spazzing out, he is enough. I don't have to, like, look any further. Then he'd get up and go home to his wife.
Starting point is 00:30:36 What the fuck? Well, that meant he'd be doing it. Why the fuck don't we ever meet these men that they be talking about? We know all the niggas in the world. They are out there. We got a whole underground network of the niggies, and we never come in contact with these niggas y'all talking about. What do you mean? What happened to the relationship?
Starting point is 00:30:53 Like, you know, you've had one, obviously, right? Or you still got one? No, I've had relationships. I'm saying, like with a guy like that that you didn't have to complain with? Yeah, but it was temporary. Where is this nigga?
Starting point is 00:31:08 Why no, wait a minute. Where is he? Because that's what you've been looking for. You think there's a lot of them. You got to call that man in the podcast. You ain't about to find two of them. You found the one you was talking about. No, I never found him.
Starting point is 00:31:22 If I found him, I'd be with him. See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. These women go out here and find the exact that they want and don't want him. So why would you put pressure on yourself to change? That is not what I said. That's not what I said.
Starting point is 00:31:35 I did I say. Don't you be out here. You can't be this nigga. She don't want him. The nigger she won't. You said it with Temple here. I mean, you know, everything don't last long, you know. You started complaining and he left.
Starting point is 00:31:50 He said, you know what? I'm too good of a man for this shit. I'm out here. I'm out here doing everything. I'm doing all this shit you're rapping about. You still treat me like shit You're still texting that nigger
Starting point is 00:32:01 You still follow his motherfucking Instagram It's funny because I had a I had an ex like and it was insane Everything you just did It was just like intense
Starting point is 00:32:13 You have flashbacks They said that nigga loaves you know Oh my God But don't nobody want to talk about this shit That shit is painful But you see the facts Even they know three niggas who the nigger they like.
Starting point is 00:32:28 That's the nigger they want, and they don't want him. That's what I mean really think that's insane. You just sat there and said you wanted a situation where you wasn't complaining. He said, have you ever had that? You said, sure, temporarily. So then once you didn't say the rest, then let me know that you fucked it up. Because I would like to think if you were in a situation where you're not complaining, you want some shit like that for life.
Starting point is 00:32:52 You're supposed to shut the fuck up and just enjoy that. I mean, you know, life happens, you know. I don't know. How many times you think you're going to find these people who are going to fit these standards and qualifications? Maybe two more times in my life. No. I want the type of hope you got. What?
Starting point is 00:33:08 Two more times in my entire lifetime? That's like not crazy. You were born in the late 90s. You might get one or two more chances. Yeah, I feel like I got like one of them. One and two. Yeah, I got faith in it. He going to see this shit?
Starting point is 00:33:22 He's watching it. He probably, I mean, I don't know. He might not. He might not. It depends on what type of a nigga. is, you know what I'm saying? How you feel about relationships in the industry, though, like you being a star by yourself, you feel like a relationship would be too demanding where you, you know, to get to where you're
Starting point is 00:33:39 trying to go? Absolutely. Right now, absolutely. Of course. I mean, it sounds great. The thought is beautiful. You know, at a later time, I'm definitely interested in doing it. But at the time, like right now, probably not.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Yeah. Yeah. But I'm always, you know, an open book. You're, like, open to finding somebody and just saying, fuck it. I'm not saying fuck it. I'm saying, like, I'm open to, you know, dating. Like, I'm dating. You know, I feel like it's cool to date.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Dating is fun. What's a good date? I'm just about to ask that. What's a good date? What's a good date? For me? Yeah, yeah, because you, man, you pick her up. She showed up with her goddamn chain with her whole name, Mom.
Starting point is 00:34:18 I used to fuck out. Where do you take her? I mean, a nice restaurant, of course. I can pick the restaurant. He don't even have to pick the restaurant. That's good. Because I know what I like. That's good shit.
Starting point is 00:34:29 He ain't got to be in one of the niggas that got the date I already playing. No, but I would appreciate that. But you just said he ain't got to. I mean, he don't have to, but it's appreciated. You know, but I pick the place if he don't know. That's what I'm, you know. And then, you know, I'm really simple. I just want to eat.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I want to have drinks. And I just want to have a good time. By the time we're done eating because I'm going to order so much, I'm going to be fool in the road to lay down. Oh, so. So you're going to eat your food. Yes. You're going to eat your shot.
Starting point is 00:34:53 You're going to eat this shit. No. what she said. You need to lay down. She's going to be ready to eat and lay down. God damn it. She's going to be ready to eat
Starting point is 00:35:03 and lay down. Oh, my God. Hey, man. Hey, they do sound fun when you put it like that. You know? Because it ain't, they got way, you can't even order enough shit that ain't, then I'm going to be like,
Starting point is 00:35:19 that's too much shit. Go ahead, get something out. That's the problem. Niggins is taking these women places and they ain't getting them full enough to lay down. I would hate that. I don't hate it. I'd be meaning to eat these shouts.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Oh, hate that. You were up, take them somewhere, get them for, so they'd be ready to lay down. They get their plate, and then they sit there and take the shit home and put it in a half-hour. That's why women don't never eat all their food. You're giving up the game, Erica. I just thought about something.
Starting point is 00:35:47 That's why a lot of these women go places, and they be trying to get that shit to go. Because they don't want to lay that. Because they don't be ready to lay down. Dirty bitch. So fellas, you can just start gauging about how much food she eat. Feed her first. See if she get full.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Fuck the rest of that day. She's going to be ready to lay down. So what's a good restaurant to take with that fucking too? Where they're going to want to lay down. They're going to get full of nothing. Well, they're going to eat the food so they can get full of nothing. Just laid out. Obviously, Papa Doles and Dan Tanners.
Starting point is 00:36:19 No, that's shit. They don't get for you. They don't want to lay down when they lead up. No. That doesn't have a red laid out. Once again, thank you for tuning into the Black Effect Podcast Network. See you in 2025

If a baby is crying in the back seat, they're probably hungry.
Starting point is 00:37:47 But if a baby is sleeping in the back seat, will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher. It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly. So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
