Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. We got Omar on the line. Omar, good morning. Hey, Envy, good morning. I just want to know, what type of name is Enzo for a dog?
Starting point is 00:02:19 What is that? It's actually Enza, and that was the name of the dog when I purchased it. That's even worse. The dog is a year old, and that's the dog's name. Why don't you like her name? I mean, that's weird. I'm actually mad at you, too, Angelina. You said something about somebody running up on Envy for an autograph.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I mean, he ain't no celebrity. I love our listeners. You keep us humble, baby. Keep us humble. There you go, my brother. Keep us humble, damn it. You ain't no damn celebrity. I know. I'm trying to get there. Hello, who's this? It's Paul.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Hey, what's up, man? Tell them why you mad. The reason I'm mad, I'm mad at myself. It took me this long to realize the same dude who played Pornstache, Orange is the New Black, is the guy who played a leprechaun in American Gods. You out of your damn mind. How you just realizing that? Man, I don't know how the hell I didn't realize that. Well, he's mad at himself for it.
Starting point is 00:03:19 That's good acting, though. That's good acting. Yeah, that's exactly what you're supposed to be. You played both of them parts, and I ain't catch on until it was mad late. Hey, I'm going to tell you what's even stranger. When you see them out in public and don't even realize it until later, hey, ain't that Bones Dash? My goodness.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Chandler, good morning. Good morning. How y'all doing? I ain't call you Chandler this time, man. You got it right. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Tell them why you mad, bro.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Well, mad. Well, one, I wanted to tell you and Charlamagne that Tupac did perform Machiavelli before he died. He only performed at a House of Blues. And that's where that concert was. Okay. Yeah, right. And that's the only place, you know, he performed that.
Starting point is 00:03:57 He made that song before, like one of his first songs. But anyway. Before the album came out. I'm going to be honest now. I've seen a lot of Tupac historians say that never happened, but I'll take your word for it. But it was, yeah, it was only at the House of Blues. But I'm mad because the NBA is trash, man. They're only
Starting point is 00:04:12 letting two teams, like they got two super teams, and then all the other teams are just trash. What's the point of watching the NBA until the NBA Finals? And the NBA Finals is even waxed. I'm just mad that the commissioner is letting all these super teams combine. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I was thinking the same thing. They got to start nixing some of these moves. Can they decline trades? The NBA can decline trades. I mean, I've seen them do it before. They did it with Chris Paul. I don't know why they did it,
Starting point is 00:04:34 but they did it. And back to the Tupac movie, I spoke to them and what they said took them over the top with the finances was clearing all the Tupac music. Oh.
Starting point is 00:04:42 They didn't get the $45 million, though. I talked to LT yesterday. They didn't get the $45 million, though. I talked to LT yesterday. It didn't get to $45 million. No, he's saying that's what took him over the top, though. That's why it was so expensive. They had to clear the music. Like $30 something. They said it was about $30,
Starting point is 00:04:52 and then with the music being cleared, that's another $15 million. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset and you need to vent, call us now or you feel blessed. Phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:08:28 Uh, no, real gangsters don't do Breakfast Club interviews. Yeah, because, um, you know, man, I used to see a lot of artists come up here, man, be like, don't want to answer the question when you ask them, you know what I mean? Like, they be like trying to act all tough, but I be like, man, you an artist, bro. You in an interview. You know what I'm saying? You doing an interview. Don't be gangsta. Yeah, interview a gangster. Like, you're an artist, bro. You're doing an interview. You know what I'm saying? You're doing an interview. Don't be gangsta.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Yeah, and if you a gangster, like, we don't do no interviews. You should bring your attorney with you. I'm just saying, like, if that's what we really doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's just like, I'd be fans of the artists.
Starting point is 00:08:57 I'd be like, they ain't answer that one. That wasn't nothing. Yeah, you're not being interrogated. It's an interview. Yeah, so it's like, if you really a street dude, you really don't want to come here and talk about your life
Starting point is 00:09:06 and what made you an artist and what inspired you, then this ain't the interview. No, this ain't the place for that. Yeah, absolutely. Now, you're a writer as well as an artist. Yes, sir. You wrote a lot for Kanye West. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Now, like, bar the hooks. More of everything. It's more of just brainstorming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it ain't more so like, hey, like, bow-wowing. I'm like, ah, okay, here you go. You know what I mean? It's more, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:09:30 Like, right, rap that like that. No, it's more so half of the time we just be in there talking about the record. The record, man, Pablo was done probably in like seven days. The whole life of Pablo? He rapped all, at the Jungle Studio, he rapped 12 verses before the Pablo thing in the Madison Square Garden. Really? He just rapped all 12 of them. It didn't go to sleep.
Starting point is 00:09:52 It was just him, Kim, me, and Chance. And we just sat in there and made him rap everything. But we've just been talking about it for two years, though. Right. We didn't even have the lyrics laid. So it was just like, he did 12 records in one week. I mean, like, you know, it might not even have been one week.
Starting point is 00:10:06 It might have been like three days. He stayed up like straight. And went straight to Madison Square Garden. You said Father's Trust My Hands was your favorite. Yeah. That you worked on. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I love that record too. Yeah, yeah. So when Cudi came in there, it was just like, man, that's like the Holy Trinity. I was just in a bag like, wow. I'd never seen them work together before. So that was a first for me.
Starting point is 00:10:26 How did you meet Ye? Well, he discovered me on the internet. I did a song with a guy named Pill and Yellow Wolf. Pill. You know what I'm saying? Pill. Yeah, so I was my... Shout out Yellow Wolf.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Oh, yeah. Charlamagne. No, Charlamagne. I don't rock with Yellow Wolf. I don't got nothing against him, but I don't rock with him. You know what I'm saying? I just had to find some guys that was, like, in my lane. Because in Atlanta, it was tough for me to, like, do the type of music I wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:10:50 So I just kind of got fed up with my situation. It was like, you know, I'm just going to rap with dudes who rap. Even if they ain't that popular or whatever. So we did this record. And we did a little, you know, $1,500 video. And Ye seen it on the internet and just kind of started putting it on his Tumblr. And then a week later, he flew me to Hawaii and it was just, we've been partners ever since.
Starting point is 00:11:08 What era was this at Ye? What era was this? This was my beautiful dark twisted fantasy. Okay. Yeah, so that's when I first met him during that album. I always wondered, were you frustrated like just trying to put out that solo album, I mean that debut album,
Starting point is 00:11:19 or was it you being patient and saying, okay, it's not time, it's not time? Well, one thing for me, man, I'm like, I experienced the streets on a sober level. So I was just happy to not have to go back to the trap. I would have gave, I would have delivered waters in turn, you know what I'm saying? Carrie quit me. I wasn't even tripping. So a lot of times that may be my fault because I was just, I'm just happy not, you know, to have to do what I used to do.
Starting point is 00:11:44 So then I understand the fans was very adamant about it, so I definitely wanted to do this for them too as well, not just for myself. But I was never frustrated because I done worked on his last five albums. I'm pretty cool. Did you get paid, though? Absolutely. Okay. Yeah, I definitely got paid.
Starting point is 00:12:00 How does he seem like the type to pay his artists? Oh, no, he overly paid. That's an issue for me. Yeah, we no, he overly paid. That's an issue for me. Yeah, we've never heard anybody complain. That's an issue. Like, he'd come, like, he... What does overly pay mean? Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:12:11 A dude walked in the studio with some leather black jeans on. And his thing's on. And leather black jeans on. Get a part of the song that I helped, you know what I'm saying, put together. No. Yes, bro. If you delivering waters, if you the engineer, if you the cameraman, if he asks you one thing about this song, your name is on the record.
Starting point is 00:12:32 That's why I beat so many people. Really? Yeah. All you got to do is be in the brainstorming. If you was in the brainstorm room, you get part of the record. It ain't like everybody wrote on the record. It's just everybody who was in there gave pieces of you. The piano player. That's so interesting because you wonder
Starting point is 00:12:47 sometimes Kanye seems so narcissistic and it seems like he has such a big ego and he seems so self centered that you wouldn't think he'd be such a giving person like that. Yeah, man. Because he already, you know, the samples already taken up. He got three samples so that's already going to take up 70%.
Starting point is 00:13:03 It's 15, 20 people got to chop up. But that's just how he is. He just three samples so that's already going to take a 70%. It's 15, 20 people got to chop up. But that's just how he is. He just, you know what I mean? So I appreciate him, you know what I'm saying? Because a lot of times, you know, people don't do that. People don't even recognize nobody. But he overly recognize. I'm talking, if you answering the door, you're asking what's your publishing.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Wow. Like, relax. Wow. Your first deal was with Akon. Yeah. Now, your first deal was with Akon. Yeah. Now, how did you hook up with Akon and what happened with that situation? Well, my first deal was actually with Noonie and Jazzy Faye. I was in a group, but... God damn.
Starting point is 00:13:33 That's taking me back with that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You hooked up with Jazzy Faye and Noonie. I got my first deal at like 15. Okay. So, you know what I mean? I was always like one of the best rappers in my opinion. But, yeah, I knew Boo through my partner. Everybody knew Boo. I knew my guy Boo. but um yeah um i knew boo through my partner
Starting point is 00:13:45 you know what i'm saying so i knew boo through uh bocce you know what i mean so i was just a dude i was just trying to get out of my situation i was signing some gangsters you know what i'm saying they was just like okay you want to get out of this we need this so i'm like okay so i'm trying to figure out somebody that'll help me you know know what I mean, you know, give me a check on something. So Boo was like, no, I love this. So I always got a place, even though our situation didn't all the way work out, because, you know, the Def Jam regime and, you know, L.A. Reeds and all that, I just always appreciated him for just taking a chance to, like, get me out of my situation. I ain't need nothing else from Boo.
Starting point is 00:14:21 It didn't kind of go right because once I got to Def Jam, it was like Boo left. Boo and L.A. Reid left in like four months after that. So it was like, damn. You just stuck, right? I'm stuck. But then people know Ye just started f***ing with me. So they was like, okay, we don't want to let him go. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:35 But I'm like, nah, this ain't the people who signed me. So Ye was just like, yo, man, come over here and write for me. You know what I'm saying? Do this, do this, and then we'll get you some cash. And then we can come back and, you know, get you out of the situation. And that's why I'm saying? Do this, do this, and then we'll get you some cachet, and then we can come back and, you know, get you out of that situation. That's why I'm here today.
Starting point is 00:14:48 No dope on Sundays. So you was with Def Jam before Good Music? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was already on Def Jam. It just, you know, I wasn't making trap records, so me and, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:58 Convict was kind of butting heads about that. You from Atlanta. You should be making the bounce, the trap records. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I couldn't listen to rap growing up. I didn't start listening to rap until I was about 15. Yeah, I heard your should be making the bounce. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I didn't I couldn't listen to rap growing up.
Starting point is 00:15:05 I didn't start listening to rap until I was about 15. Yeah, I heard your parents were strict. Was it a religious thing? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I just grew up in a church and I was like probably bad, more bad than I should have been at that age. So they were just trying to keep it away from me. But I always heard it like when I went to skate rink or I went to like out to the club
Starting point is 00:15:21 or whatnot. But my first CD I purchased was Reasonable Doubt. And it was written because this dude from Philly was teaching me how to rap. And I just thought this man was the most prolific. 12-year-old, 13-year-old I ever heard. Because he used to rap like Nas raps and shit. He'd say they was his. But it'd be like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:15:41 To me, I'm trying to out-rap him. One time he hit me with, how you like me now? I go, bow. This is the demo crowd. We in the middle of a cypher. And he's killing me. He's like telling me, I made you buck wild. I made you buck wild.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Hey, bro, how you going to do me like that? Talk me out of rap. So about four or five years later, I'm in the car with one of my other New York dudes. I'm in high school now, and I just hear, come on, how you like me now? I'm like, oh, man, that's my partner record. They're like, well, you know, nah. They're like, nah, bro.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Nah, bro, this is my partner, bro. All right, we got more with Si Ha to Prince when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Sigh High, The Prince is in the building. Now, you kidnapped Kanye West, and you shot up the Def Jam offices.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Well, that was the song, Elephant in the Room. Let's talk about Elephant in the Room, that song. Nah, man, well, a lot of people don't know Yee gave me that beat, and we came up with that topic together. Okay. So the thing was, we was about to do, like, this Eminem, Dr. Dre album, and he had some controversies that he was going through.
Starting point is 00:16:51 People would, like, keep asking me, like, you know, different things they asking me, and that was, like, the biggest thing, like, man, why Ye won't put your arm up? Why Ye won't? And it wasn't ever Ye's fault. It was just, like, Def Jam on a power struggle. So I just decided to write a rap about it
Starting point is 00:17:04 because I was just tired of going to the grocery store. So I just decided to write a rap about it because I was just tired of going to the grocery store, tired of going there when people keep asking me, like, bro, ask me something else. You know what I mean? So I made a song that I thought actually would cut the air. It was like a parody almost to me because, you know, Meek and Drake was going through their things.
Starting point is 00:17:18 I just threw it out there just to, like, throw it off. And it just... That was a diss record from South. Yeah, that was a diss record. Like, oh, okay. So I had to really explain it. But nah, me and Ye was good. He actually had a verse to it.
Starting point is 00:17:28 And then we never finished the actual album. So I mean, I sit on so many records, I'd be mad. So sometimes I will just let something go that probably wasn't supposed to go. So y'all was going to do a whole project called Elephant in the Room? Nah, it was going to be like an Eminem...
Starting point is 00:17:40 I don't know what the name of it was going to be, but it was going to be like, you know... Like how Guilty Conscious was. Yeah, who'd take advice from somebody who slapped it was going to be, but it was going to be like, you know. Like how guilty conscience was. Yeah, who take advice from somebody who slapped D-Wolves? Like, we're going back and forth. Like, man, you ran on stage with, oh, girl, how you going to get me? You know what I mean? So that's how we was just kind of really starting to brew it,
Starting point is 00:17:54 but it just never came to fruition. Why not? Because, I mean, you know, man, one thing about Bruh, man, he's a free artist, so you can't even rush his greatness in so many senses. It's like, man, I done seen free artist, so you can't even rush his greatness in so many senses. It's like, man, I done seen him come up with some shit last minute that we've been trying to get him to come up with for six months. And it be like, oh, like, Famous, the Famous record, that's the last day. Really?
Starting point is 00:18:16 Yeah. Like, he just, but we've been talking to him like, bro, we gotta have it, bro. They gotta call him. Like, other rap records on the album. Yeah, he'll just, like, people gotta have it, bro. They gotta call it. Like, other rap records on the album. Yeah, he'll just... Like, people just don't understand. People think when they see him, they think that he got a bunch of ghost writers.
Starting point is 00:18:30 None of that happens without him. Like, all of us could be there, and he ain't there, and it ain't gonna come out like that. Oh, so y'all not writing stuff beforehand and saying, yeah, he spit this. It's like a collaboration. Everybody's in the room. It's like saying, say, as if in life.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Yeah, yeah. Or say, you know, you're going to jump on the jet this time and take it out of that line. He's like, oh, okay, yeah, that do kind of go better. Like, it's just like stuff like that. It ain't like, just like I said, bow-wowing. I'm like, there you go, boss. He doesn't care about people knowing he got ghostwriters?
Starting point is 00:18:59 I think he's always been pretty open about it. I don't think he don't look at it as ghostwriting, though. It's like, because you got to think about it. I tell people this. Once you already conquered rap or body rap, you can have ghostwriting. That's to me. Because I go to the Grammys. I'm at the Grammys every year.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Adele walk on stage. It's 15 people who have to work with this record. You're going to stay saying all these other pop artists. They got 20 people on stage. But in rap, it's just got to be you and the engineer. It's like, how do you compete with 20 great musical minds, and it's just you and the engineer? It also benefits the people that are, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:34 artists that work with you on your label, because they get to make some money, because they're in the room helping you write. So now he contributed to this track. He contributed. We were having a conversation, and now everybody gets paid. But back in the day, unless we don't know,
Starting point is 00:19:47 those guys were creating immaculate records, I guess, by themselves. Yeah, yeah. Nas with Illmatic or Jay early on, Reasonable Doubt, Biggie, Ready to Die,

Starting point is 00:20:04 Jay a few lines. And I'm sure Wu-Tang in the studio was like, yo, say in there feeding them. Like, I know Biggs threw Jay a few lines. And I'm sure Butang in the studio was like, yo, say this, say that. Like, just even your partner in there smoking, oh, I like that one. If you don't even react to a line, that might be like, okay, I don't even write that line. My partner didn't react how I wanted him to react.

Starting point is 00:25:30 It's time to shoot your shot. With the Breakfast Club. This is your one chance. Don't mess it up. Mess it up. All right, now this morning we have somebody on the phone lines. His name is Big Les. You there, sir?
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yo. Hey, yo. I love this show, man. I love you guys. Oh, my goodness. Les, you sound like you're about 45, 50 years old. Hey, man. I mean, age ain't nothing but a number.
Starting point is 00:25:51 All right. Okay, Les. Okay, Aaliyah. Now, Les, explain this to us now. You have a crush on your daughter's best friend? You got that right. How old are you, Big Les? 46.
Starting point is 00:26:02 How old is your daughter's friend? She's about 22, 23. All right, you got to relax. Oh, my goodness. It's weird. You got to relax. All right, so you have a crush on your... How long have you known your daughter's friend?
Starting point is 00:26:14 Since she was how old? How long have I known him? How long have you not known him since he was a kid? That's creepy. That's disgusting. So you've been watching your daughter's friend grow up since she was a little kid and you had a crush on her? Well, you know, like, she, you know, she, you know. You sound like a pedophile.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Oh, wait a minute now. Wait a minute. Don't go there. Don't go there. I respect you a lot, G. I love you. But don't go there. You do sound like a pedophile.
Starting point is 00:26:43 You've been planning on recruiting this girl since she was in elementary school. It's the way your voice is warbling also. That's illegal. That's against NCAA rules. No, no, no, Charlamagne. No, no. Let's fast forward this. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:26:57 Wow. Whoa. Okay. She 22, 23 years old. If you see this girl, man, you know, she put Coca-Cola out of business. By the way, you've watched American Beauty one too many times, and the reason you want to fast-forward this conversation is because you're trying to fast-forward this girl's life.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Now she's of age. You want her, and that's disgusting. I want to tap that ass. That's what I want. I can't talk to you no more. I'm not talking to you. Why are we talking to each other? I want to tap that ass.
Starting point is 00:27:23 I don't even feel right trying to set this up. All right, well, check it out. I got an older uncle that I want to hook up with your daughter. He's 57. So you're going to go there? Yeah, it's an old-ass man out here lusting for your daughter the same way you lusting for this little young girl. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:27:36 You know what? She's a grown woman. I taught her well. She can handle it. Oh, you taught her how to suck? Oh, stop it, man. She taught her well. But listen, how would you feel if your daughter's friend, if her dad tried to talk to your daughter?
Starting point is 00:27:49 That's a little awkward. Well, you know, I mean, like, you know, she's grown. I gave her everything and all the ammunition she needs to be a grown-ass woman. Yeah, now I'd beat your ass, but hold on. We're going to call her. Is he trying to tell us that he taught his daughter how to pop that poom-poom for an old goon? Well, we're going to call this young lady. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I don't want no part of this. No, no, we're going to tell the young lady that she can't do this. But I would whoop his ass. Absolutely. If my daughter brought home a guy my age, well, I'm not 45. He ain't even talking about wifeing her. Let me rephrase that. I'm nowhere near that.
Starting point is 00:28:21 But older than me, I'm whooping his ass. He ain't even talking about wifeing her. He's just talking about wanting to smash her. That's disgusting. I'm nowhere near that. But older than me, I'm whooping his ass. He ain't even talking about a wife and her. He's just talking about wanting to smash her. That's disgusting. That's what's disgusting. And the fact he knew her since he was a kid. Since she was a kid? No, that's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:28:33 All right. Well, when we come back, we're going to call this young lady. Her name is Jasmine. And keep it locked. This is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. If you just joined us, we're doing Shoot Your Shot.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Now, that's when you can call. You can email us, thebreakfastclubam at gmail.com. If there's somebody that you know that you are interested in and you want to try and see if it could work out, we're going to let you call them live on air. Now, we have Big Les on the phone lines right now. He's actually calling his daughter's best friend. Now, Big Les is probably in his 50s. His daughter's best friend, I'm guessing, is around 20, her early 20s. But we told Big Les we're going to let him shoot his shot.
Starting point is 00:29:15 So let's dial the number. All right. Hello? Hey, hey, Jasmine. This is Big Les. What's up? Oh, hey, what's up? How you doing?
Starting point is 00:29:35 I'm doing all right, baby girl. What's happening? I'm good. What's up? Oh, man, you know, like, you know, you know, you busy this weekend? For what? Hey, let's just cut to the chase. I want to take you out.
Starting point is 00:29:56 You know, are you feeling it or what? Oh, okay. What the hell do you mean, okay, girl? This is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Jasmine. What the hell do you mean, okay? You giving this old man some play? Yeah, actually. What?
Starting point is 00:30:11 You had your eye on your friend's daddy all these years? I mean, maybe not all these years, but I mean, I feel. Is he an attractive old man? He is. He is a good-looking old man. Okay, but what about your friend? How's she going to feel about you going out with her dad? I don't think that she's going to mind.
Starting point is 00:30:31 You like old men or something? Oh, my goodness. Who doesn't like a nice silver fox? Okay. What about your daddy? Is your daddy in the house? Yes. Your daddy should whoop his ass.
Starting point is 00:30:41 What would your daddy think if you went down here for 46 years? Let's slow down here for a minute, then, because we all getting up in age. You never know what our futures may hold. I'm not going to sit here and knock this man if he can bag a young 20-something-year-old tender. It may have sounded worse than it actually is. Okay, hold on, but Jasmine. A toddler. Technically, this is really a jacket. Jasmine, Jasmine, do you feeldy and Cassie. Jasmine, Jasmine.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Do you feel, has anything weird ever happened, like when you were growing up at your friend's house with the dad? Diddy older than 45. No, no. No. No way. Nothing like that. I mean, no.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Nothing like that. This is Diddy and Cassie. This is Diddy and Cassie, man. Diddy didn't help raise Cassie. Diddy didn't, it wasn't there when Cassie came by the house. He didn't know her when she was underage. Doesn't matter when she was 12. She was 12 at some point in her life. Oh, you a dirty old man now.
Starting point is 00:31:30 This girl was 12 at some, Jasmine, you was 12 at some point in your life. Cassie was 12 at some point in her life. Diddy was with J-Lo when Cassie was two. It don't matter. Okay, so basically it's none of our business now. If they want to go out with each other, they're both of age. Yeah, I mean, there's an of age. Yeah, I mean, there's an age difference,
Starting point is 00:31:46 but I mean, just think, what if I didn't know him when I was younger? Right. Would it still be an issue? It's okay. That's right, Jasmine. Listen, you're probably
Starting point is 00:31:52 going to end up getting worms from somebody. Why not somebody that you know? And you asked about my daddy. My daddy would just be like, is he treating me right? Really?
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yeah. I mean, that's what most daddies don't live with. That's what most daddies don't live with their kids, you know what I'm saying? They just check in every now and then. You good? You got a boyfriend treating you right? Okay, I'll see you on next Tuesday. Damn. You talking
Starting point is 00:32:13 about your daddy? So you guys are going to go on a date. What's the plan? Well, you know, I'm going to go with her flow, but if she doesn't have anything in mind, I'm going to whine and dine that little lady like she deserves. Well, I hop on Fridays is over 65. You get free pancakes.
Starting point is 00:32:33 He's not over 65. You guys, you know, y'all need to chill out, man. Just let people live their lives. Yeah, 45 ain't old, brother. I get you. And listen, man, you take it to Applebee's, you get that two for 20. You know what I'm saying? And y'all enjoy, okay?
Starting point is 00:32:49 All right. Wow. All right. Well, yeah, you guys have fun. How are you going to break the news to your daughter? Oh, well, you know, I'm just going to tell her I'm taking Jasmine out. Let her find out on Instagram or Facebook. No, no, no. I'm a grown ass man.
Starting point is 00:33:06 I'll tell my daughter. I'm taking her out. Oh, he's dying already. He's dying thinking about that young vagina. That young vagina thinking about it got you about to have a heart attack. I can't wait to hear how this goes. Good luck, guys.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Do you eat the butt? Alright. What? That's all you gotta say. to hear how this goes. Good luck, guys. Now, Les, do you eat the butt? All right. What? All right. Okay. All right. Let's keep it moving, please. That's all you got to say.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Do you eat ass? All right. All right now. All right. All right. All right. Well, thank you, guys. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I can't really hate on that situation, man. We all getting up in age. You never know what the future may hold. All right, so let's switch it a little bit. Your daughter turned 22. She bring home a man that's 46.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Nah, you're not having it. See? That's what I'm saying. I'm personally not having it. Me neither. When I ain't speaking about my daughter, I'm speaking about me and my own selfish ass. When I'm 50-something years old
Starting point is 00:33:57 and just say me and my wife don't work out, I'm going to get me something young and tender. I'm telling you that right now. I'm going to get me a fresh 22, 23-year-old. You know what? Okay, fresh out of college. What was your degree? You majored in journalism.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Well, come talk to the radio. So you're going to be a sponsor. So you're basically going to be a sponsor. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Are you ready? It's time to shoot your shot.
Starting point is 00:34:22 It's time to shoot your shot with The Breakfast Club. You lose your one chance. Don't mess it up. Mess it up. Mess it up. Devontae, what's up? What's up, guys? Who are you trying to shoot your shot with, Devontae?
Starting point is 00:34:33 This girl, Latavia. She works at the pharmacy I go to. All right. You got to go there to pick up your Valtrex every now and then? Or maybe, you know, fix an STD problem? Because I'm letting you know if you got to pick up your Valtrex. I don't think this is a good idea to shoot your shot
Starting point is 00:34:46 if she knows what she's giving you. Nah, she's just dope, man. I don't even have a prescription there. I just go there once a week to get like a pack of gum or something.
Starting point is 00:34:54 And then you go to the pharmacy register just to go see her? Yeah. She definitely thinks you have an STD and too scared to get the prescription, bro.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I don't know. I don't know. I'm scared to shoot my shot. I was hoping y'all could help me. Why are you scared to shoot your shot, though? Have you ever had a conversation? Yeah, you know, I get the prescription, bro? I don't know. I don't know. I'm scared to shoot my shot. I was hoping y'all could help me. Have you ever had a conversation? Yeah, you know, I get the gum, ask her how her day is doing, what's going on,
Starting point is 00:35:12 and she's going to this or that concert. Nothing too heavy, though. Now, question. Do you put the gum in your mouth before you talk to her? You know, I usually get a piece and offer her one. Because if you're talking to her before you put the gum in your mouth, that's probably why she's not interested, because your breath is clearly funky.
Starting point is 00:35:29 No, it's like half and half. Half with gum, half without gum. Okay, okay. All right, well, let's get right into it. I mean, they've only had some brief conversations. All he does is see her when he buys some gum, so I'll be interested to see if she's noticed you. Does she say hi when you walk in?
Starting point is 00:35:43 Oh, yeah, yeah. She's very friendly. Okay. There's gotta be a reason that you haven't shot your shot yet other than just nerves. Maybe he's scared. Maybe he got a small wee-wee. I don't know. Damn. I'm sure she could write him a prescription for something. Okay. Alright, well, let's go.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Maybe you need some Xanny's then for anxiety. I don't have a prescription for it. You know where I could get some? Yeah, the girl. Once you shoot your shot. Hold on. When we come back, we're gonna call Lativia. That's her name, right? Latavia? Yeah. Latavia. Alright, where I could get some? Yeah, the girl. Once you shoot your shot. Hold on. When we come back, we're going to call Latavia. That's her name, right? Latavia? Yeah. Latavia. Don't move, right? Okay. We'll call Latavia when we come back.
Starting point is 00:36:11 So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angelique. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Shoot Your Shot. We have Devontae on the line. Now, Devontae, go ahead. Shoot your shot, man. Make that phone call. Hello?

Starting point is 00:36:53 Wait, please don't say... What do you want? Well, you didn't actually give me your number. You actually gave me your name, and then I searched Facebook, and your number came up. Jesus Christ. Okay, you gotta stop. You did not tell us this part. I'm sorry. Let's have up. Jesus Christ. Are you kidding me? Okay, you got to stop.

Starting point is 00:37:13 What the hell is going on? We thought that you gave him your number and so he was calling to shoot his shot because he has a crush on you. He said he comes in there all the time to buy gum. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The dude that buys gum.
Starting point is 00:37:26 I don't even put his change in his hand. Like, I put it on the... Oh, my God. He is the creepiest. Uh-oh. Why is he calling me? I don't understand why he's calling me. He's still on the phone.
Starting point is 00:37:37 He can hear you. He can hear you. He's here. Oh, my God. Like, at this point, I don't even care because you're talking about you looked up my number on Facebook? That's weird.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Yeah, it's kind of weird. That's like American psycho shit. No, no, no. Not really because Facebook does provide this kind of information, but I do think, I wish we would have asked him, you know, did he get your number before, Han? But yeah. But wait, why is he calling me? I'm not understanding.
Starting point is 00:38:00 He wants to have sex with you. No, no. He wants to take you out on a date. He wants to take you out on a date. Why would I go out with 5 billion people on the planet and you think I would go out with this dude? Devontae, speak. No, no, no, no, no, no. Devontae, speak.
Starting point is 00:38:14 You have the name of a member of the community. I just want to take you out on a date and then have sex with you. Oh, my goodness. What? Wow. He's keeping it 100, though, okay? No. Well, let me keep it 100.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Devontae has adult acne. I can't even get past that, so we're not even doing it like that. No. Are you kidding me? All right, Devontae. He's trying to figure me out. No, Devontae, please. And let me tell you, I'm giving out medicine for diabetes, for HIV, for cancer,
Starting point is 00:38:46 and this s*** is coming every day buying gum? Do you know how creepy that s*** is? Listen, first of all, why don't you prescribe him something for his adult acne? Should he go see a dermatologist? I have a great one. Her name is Dr. Natasha Sandy. Any last words, Devante?
Starting point is 00:39:02 I mean, I don't know why she's being like that. I always offer a piece of gum when I come in. And that's creepy. I don't think you should tell a guy like this any last words. So it can't be that creepy, and you chew it. Devontae. And I chew it, really? Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:18 That's enough. You chew it all nice and slow, flirt with me. You know you love me, girl. Yeah, why are you taking the gum from him? Why are you leading him on by taking the gun from him? I've never taken a gun from him.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I've never taken a gun from him. He's a liar. Latavia? Oh, my God. I have a video. I Snapchat it. Latavia?
Starting point is 00:39:35 What? Next time he comes in there, I will call the police, man. He's creepy as hell. Yeah, Latavia, you might need to get a rescreen. Are y'all helping him?
Starting point is 00:39:43 No, I'm not. I didn't know. We didn't know. I'm sorry. I didn't know. We didn't know. I'm sorry. We didn't know. Hey, Devontae, your mother or father was clearly a Jodeci fan, okay? Because they named you Devontae. Are you familiar with Devontae Swing from Jodeci?
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah. Okay. He did a Juicy Fruit commercial back in the day, right? Oh, my goodness. I don't know anything about it. Oh, my God. I don't know anything about it. Natavia, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:40:14 Oh! Oh, my God. I'm a little bit sorry. We're so sorry. We're so sorry. Geesh, all right. Shoot your shot. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:40:30 I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. For the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. All right, listen, man.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Charlamagne the God here. I'm on vacation until 2018. I don't give a damn what y'all think about that because I deserve it. Now, the Breakfast Club is in 80-plus markets in 150 countries, so we have a lot of new listeners who probably don't even know who Charlamagne the God is. So use my time off to catch up on some of my past work, okay? Okay. If you're new here, I do a segment every day called Donkey of the Day, donkey as in jackass, and that's when I give someone the credit they deserve for being stupid.
Starting point is 00:41:15 So if you've never heard of it, this is new to you, but if you are a regular listener, then this is an oldie but goodie because it's the best of the donkey of the day. Donkey of the Day goes to Kendu Isaacs. You know who Kendu is, right? Heard of him. Yeah, Mary J. Blige's former husband slash manager. Now, as the story goes, Kendu Isaacs and Mary J. Blige are getting a divorce.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Apparently, they are. Are they divorced or getting divorced? I think they're getting a divorce. Yeah, they're in the process. Apparently, because of Kendu's alleged affair with a young artist named Starshel. She was signed to Mary's label, Matriarch Entertainment. Page Six actually reported this back in April. In fact, according to Page Six, Mary claimed in court documents that Ken Do spent $420,000 on his little girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And to add insult to injury, Mary would bring her to red carpets and other events to increase her profile. Now, when the legend Mary J. Blige was on The Breakfast Club, she spoke on it but didn't say the young lady's name. Let's hear it. But I started recording the album like a year ago. Mary J. Blige was on The Breakfast Club. She spoke on it, but didn't say the young lady's name. Let's hear it. But I started recording the album like a year ago. Started writing it from a perspective of a woman fighting for her marriage. I wanted it. No matter what, I wanted to keep it.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I loved him. I wanted to stay. But then, of course, it didn't turn out that way. So everything, you know. Did he not want it as much as you did? He didn't. When someone loves someone else, it's nothing you could do. You know, that's what I'm suffering through right now.
Starting point is 00:42:30 What was the turning point where you knew it was going down the wrong road? When everything I said didn't mean anything and nothing I ever did was good enough and I was never smart enough. He knew he loved someone else. He knew he wanted a heroine, you know, he knew he wanted what he wanted. Now, if he had kept it honest with you, you think you'd have been able to be one of those women who can let their man have another woman? No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:42:54 I mean, not this particular person. Anybody but her. You do treat the one that you love with the same respect that you treat the one that you hump it. That ain't about nothing. Mary also spoke on the situation on her VH1 documentary, Scrimp of a Woman, where she went into a little more detail and she was talking to Neo. Let's hear it.
Starting point is 00:43:10 And just so we're clear, you have a studio over there in that other place, right? Yes. Do not let, do you know, do not let her nowhere near what you're doing for me. Okay. Because she's the reason for all of this. That's my Becky with the good hair. Mm. Bam. Well, Kendu, who was originally asking
Starting point is 00:43:29 for $129,319 a month. A nerve. And spousal support was granted by Judge 30 grand a month, which I think is way too much for a grown-ass man to be getting from his ex-wife. He's now asking for 65 grand a month, okay? Kendu Isaacs wants 65 grand,000 in spousal support
Starting point is 00:43:46 because according to The Blast, who dug up the court documents, Kendu needs his spousal support doubled because Mary's divorce songs tarnished his reputation and he can no longer find work. You're cheating tarnished your reputation. Kendu.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Kendu. Come on, brother. Listen. Yes, you're right, Angelique. These songs didn't tarnish Kendu's reputation. He tarnished his reputation because he broke Mary J. Blige's heart by cheating on her. And now we see you robbing Mary with no gun and spousal support, and the general public just doesn't respect that.
Starting point is 00:44:17 If Mary never made a record about what happened, we still would be looking at you funny because, honestly, what you're doing is lame. Mary J. Blige is an icon, a legend. She's beloved in these streets. Okay, the culture protects her at all costs. Of course you can't find work because if people have to choose between you and Mary J. Blige, of course they're going to choose Mary. That's just the way the game goes. It's not like you've
Starting point is 00:44:38 shown that you can have success on your own. All your success is tied with Mary. So if you're not working with Mary, why would anyone work with you? A simple math to me. Now, what do these divorce songs can do is speaking of? Well, they were all featured on Mary's Scrimp of a Woman album. One is titled
Starting point is 00:44:53 Love Yourself. That's the one with Kanye West. I love that record, by the way. And Set Me Free. Now, we have a clip of Set Me Free. Let's hear it. Alright, Mary. Now that is clearly about can do, but so what? Okay, this is Mary's life as much as it's Kendu's and if she wants to sing
Starting point is 00:45:26 about it, she can sing about it. Mary always puts her life in her music. That's why we love Mary J. Blige. Hell, when I heard she was getting divorced,
Starting point is 00:45:33 I was happy because I was like, oh, Mary next album about to be fire. I just want to know, Kendu, how you trying to shake Mary J. Blige down because she sang about you and you gave her
Starting point is 00:45:42 the content to sing about. If you hadn't have allegedly cheated with her artist, Tharshell, none of this would have happened, Kendu. You caused all of this on yourself. If you was getting money you was owed from management or managerial things, cool, but asking for all this spousal support because you can't find work without Mary, that's all the more reason you shouldn't have cheated.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Fellas, here's a guy code pro tip from your Uncle Sharla. If your wife is your primary source of income, sit your dumb ass down, eat this slice of pizza, and be quiet, okay? A man's job is to protect and provide. If you're not the primary provider financially, then you have to provide in other ways, emotionally, mentally,
Starting point is 00:46:17 spiritually, physically, and you have to protect her emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Kendu, you didn't do that. You actually hurt her and broke her heart. Now you're twisting the knife and asking for $65,000 in child support. Sorry, Kendu. Nobody feels sorry for you. No empathy, no sympathy.
Starting point is 00:46:34 You did this to yourself. And if you want to fix your reputation and get people to possibly work with you again, do what's right. And stop trying to shake Mary J. Blige down because you was wrong. Please give Kendu Heisig the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons, please. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 00:46:54 You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. All right. Thank you for that donkey today The Breakfast Club Morning everybody It's DJ Envy Angela Yee
Starting point is 00:47:14 Charlamagne Tha God We are The Breakfast Club We got a special guest In the building Yes ma'am Miss Angela Rye AR-15 Welcome back
Starting point is 00:47:21 Violent Thank you I'm happy to be here You better learn how to get violent Cause when Omarosa come for your face. She ain't going to come for me. Omarosa's no martial arts. I heard you laughing at her.
Starting point is 00:47:29 She ain't checking for me that it's a black woman civil war. No, she said that after Robin Roberts. So she knows not to mention my name. You know Omarosa no karate, right? I don't give a damn. How you know she no karate? Because she said it when she was up here. I forgot she was up here.
Starting point is 00:47:41 She was up here. Who invited Heather Breslin? This was years ago. Like six years ago. Angela's like, I'm not taking credit for that. I forgot I'm Rosie McKay, but it was like
Starting point is 00:47:49 six or seven years ago. Six years ago, I think. And I went and watched the interview last night. Oh, that's when she was still a Democrat? That's cute. I don't know what she was then.
Starting point is 00:47:56 I don't know what she was doing at that time. Her and Claudia Jordan was beefing. It was weird, but she know karate. That's all you need to know. I'm not worried about it.
Starting point is 00:48:02 She can run up on me if she wants to. She gonna catch a case. I don't fight. We know you have to know. I'm not worried about it. She can run up on me if she wants to. She's going to catch a case. I don't fight. We know you have the inside scoop. So do you believe that she really resigned or do you believe that she was let go? So just to
Starting point is 00:48:17 clarify for the culture, what I do not have is inside scoop on the White House. I don't be up in there. But, I don't be up in there. All right. But I do know a few things to that point. What I believe, based on what I saw in her interview with Michael Strahan, is that she did not resign.
Starting point is 00:48:37 You will, I don't know if you all saw it, but there are a number of conflicting points in her interview. One of the funniest things to me was when she talked about having certain access restrictions after you resign, which is not true. You turn your badge in the day that you quit or fired or whatever at the White House, just like you would in any other job.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Right, in radio, if we stay. Like, they're not going to take y'all's... Well, you're up here until January 20th, and then... So we'll let you in the building, but we're not going to let you upstairs. Right. That doesn't happen anywhere, and it definitely doesn't happen on the campus of the White House. So Secret Service tweeting that they removed her credentials means she cannot get on the campus of the White House,
Starting point is 00:49:15 including the Eisenhower Executive Office building, which is across the street from the White House, which is where she sat. She did not have a desk in the White House. Can she go on tour? Can she tour the White House now? She can request a tour from her member of Congress like every other American citizen can. So does that mean maybe she's getting paid until January 20th? Absolutely. Vacation days.
Starting point is 00:49:32 That's all that it is. That's exactly what it means. You know exactly what it is. So I'm like, man, she's pulling the wool over our eyes at every turn. Why was she fired, though? I'm not sure. What do you think? I think that she is dramatic.
Starting point is 00:49:46 I think that she's caused a lot of issues there. But I also think that she is, you know, when they talk about birds of a feather flock together, she acts just like Donald Trump. So it's this hyperbole, dramatic mess. There's always some distraction being thrown out there. I have heard from some black Republicans who I trust a little more than Omarosa that she's made it very difficult for other people of color who work not only in the White House, but also in the administration because she's threatened by their real political credentials. So what is her job? Pardon my ignorance, but I don't know. I don't know. Mine too.
Starting point is 00:50:22 I'm not sure what it was. She was Trump's assistant. No. So just for. I had mine too. I guess I'm not sure what it was. She was Trump's assistant. No. So just for clarification on that too. So when you work in the administration, in the White House, there are titles that you have. So there's a special assistant to the president. And most people in senior roles, depending on what your pay range is, you're called a special assistant to the president. Most assistants to the president work in the actual White House.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Correct. So I think, I'm just saying, not an EOB, which again is the Eisenhower Executive Office building. I think that they gave her that title because they knew from an optics standpoint, there were no other black people there. There's no Asian people there. Black women especially. She said, black people, the only other black person or other black people there. There's no Asian people in that role. Black women especially. She said black people, the only other black people in the administration, senior level,
Starting point is 00:51:09 there's Surgeon General and Ben Carson, who's the Secretary of HUD. I feel like she said she was like the only black woman. Yes, that's in the senior role. So I'm saying there are literally three senior black folks. She's the only one in the White House. So it's black people. She had a title, though. It was something urban, like head of urban music or something.
Starting point is 00:51:25 No, it was. No, it was. That's not what it was. She was in the Office of the Public Liaison under the Obama administration. It was called the Office of Public Engagement. They made her a senior communications advisor. There was no communications shop in OPE under Barack Obama because there's a communications department. It's this made-up role of hodgepodge-ish.
Starting point is 00:51:44 How much do you think she got paid? She was paid $180,000 a year. Really? Yeah. That's high for a... I know that you... You know you're rich. I didn't say nothing.
Starting point is 00:51:54 We know you're rich. We know you're cashing Trump checks like Nene, but... No, I'm just saying. That's a great money, but I'm just like... No, but it's very... She can do nothing. We don't know what she does. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:52:05 But that's what I'm telling you. She was paid because there's no other black people that senior. So she was paid at that rate, but she wasn't given a job description that matched that rate. So nobody, everybody's like, what does she do? And everybody's like, we fresh out on cable news all night. We're like, we don't really know. What we do know is that she actively worked to oppose black folks in the administration. Some folks who I think were more well-meaning.
Starting point is 00:52:25 And honestly, people that I had conversations with were like, why are you going into that role? Why are you going to go work for somebody who's not only suggestively hated us, but I think done things that are just downright hateful. And that's why I made a face. No, that's why I made a face. I'm like, you sell your soul for that cheap? That's right.
Starting point is 00:52:42 That's exactly right. But we know that that's happened since we got here on Slaveship. So she's that type of black person. So you think she'll get a big paycheck for that cheap? That's right. That's exactly right. But we know that that's happened since we got here on Slaveship. So she's that type of black person. So you think she'll get a big paycheck for that first interview after January 20th? I think that she absolutely was working to sell a book or absolutely working to figure out what her news contributor
Starting point is 00:52:57 deal would be. Maybe she's working on her next reality show. She's definitely going to need a check. She is an active first lady of a church in Jacksonville where her husband is a pastor. I have heard, I don't know this for a fact, but I have heard that members have left the
Starting point is 00:53:13 congregation because they're not checking for her or what she represents. Yeah, it's amazing how she said that now all of a sudden she's claiming to be the only African American in the White House. And she's like, our people and our community. Oh, I know like, our people and our community. Oh, I know she said my people, and I was like, who people? Where your people at?
Starting point is 00:53:30 Because you haven't been checking for us all time. You all know that she went on air on Tucker Carlson's show defending Donald Trump's actions during Charlottesville. And now she's, yeah, now she has Armstrong Williams caping for her saying. She had issues with how he responded to Charlottesville. So why were you defending it? Not only did you defend it, you went on air talking about how Barack Obama handled the Black Lives Matter. The person who said he was affiliated with Black Lives Matter or was influenced by Black Lives Matter in Dallas.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Compare that nonsense to how Donald Trump handled Charlottesville. And she should have had issues with him from when he ran. And that's why she shouldn't have supported his campaign. So I'm not checking for her. And the main thing is, I have been this frustrated with her actions since the campaign during the election.
Starting point is 00:54:15 She was asking people who know me if we could have a sister girl talk. Because she was upset that I was dragging her. And I'm like, Heffa, you lost the sister girl opportunity when you started campaigning for this man. No. Did you just call her a Heff. I'm like, Heffa, you lost the sister girl opportunity when you started campaigning for this man. No. Did you just call her a Heffa? She is a Heffa today. I haven't heard that word in a minute.
Starting point is 00:54:31 I say old people sling. But no, to me it's personally frustrating because y'all, I'm serious. There are black folks who have sold us out from the beginning of time who operate in that mode. You cannot put your culture, your people, your community under your opportunity. I agree.
Starting point is 00:54:48 You will never make a good decision. And that is just, it's frustrating. It's hurtful to me. So people have been like, why are you so amped about it? Why are you so mad? I'm like, because you're trying to tell me one thing and you're doing something else. I see your actions. I hear the words that you're speaking.
Starting point is 00:55:01 And they don't align with someone who represents what I believe are our best interests. So, yeah, I'm a drag you every time when you say skin folk. Tell me when you say skin folk. So Zora Neale Hurston has a famous quote that says all are all my skin folk ain't my kin folk. And what that means is that everyone who has black skin, regardless of the hue, don't start with the waffle colored nonsense. Thank you. Thank you. High five. You're not that dark either. Regardless of the hue, don't start with the waffle-colored nonsense this morning. Thank you. High five. High five. You're not that dark either, Angela.
Starting point is 00:55:27 So high five to you, too. But the point is, you know, just because you're of a certain hue doesn't mean that you're going to represent what's in the best interest of that. And that doesn't mean that we're always going to align. But my one rule is, like, cause no harm. Just cause no harm. And we can debate whether or not this policy is best for us, but don't deliberately cause harm. Right. And I feel like she's done that in her life. All right, we got more with Angela Rye when we come back.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Angela Rye in the building. Now, question.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Do I have to pay for internet now? Is that what I have to do now with this new bill that passed? Unless you're hacking into something and you got free Wi-Fi at your house, at which point we all need to get at your house. Like, we pay for the internet now. What's frustrating about net neutrality is the conversation has been had in such a wonky way that people have disengaged. Like, I kind of just don't understand it, so I'm afraid to touch it.
Starting point is 00:56:22 The bottom line is what eliminating those net neutrality rules does is it makes it easier for companies to slow down certain services to put some of their products at an advantage. Right. So if you have Netflix and they slow down the Netflix, that might put another company at an advantage because you're trying to watch a Netflix, but it's buffering, it's buffering, it's not working. You got to pay for it to go faster. Yes. And so you'll have to pay for certain services to go faster after you've already paid for your subscription to Angela's point. So there are all of these things that make the internet more financially lucrative for
Starting point is 00:56:58 them because they've been trying to figure out ways to bolster some of their revenue since the internet's come about. It's like, what do we do? We're losing money. You know, we've seen that with record labels and all of that. So I think the one thing that people need to know is it's going to be a more costly space. And it's frustrating because there are still folks who look like me and you who don't even
Starting point is 00:57:18 have access just to baseline internet, just don't even have access. So this is really frustrating to watch. But you see it every turn, whether it's the tax reform bill that they're pushing or the healthcare measure that they were pushing. Now this, that at every turn they're looking out for people who are the haves and the have-nots are continually being
Starting point is 00:57:35 screwed under this administration. I think people are concerned about social media. How's that going to affect social media? I don't know. I don't know of a direct impact that I can think of right now. I know that it can impact certain search engines like Google Chrome versus like a Yahoo or Verizon's search page, that kind of thing. But I don't know what the direct impact would be on social media. I need to ask somebody that really knows the ins and outs and is a true net neutrality wonk.
Starting point is 00:58:03 That's how so much messaging gets out nowadays, especially for our communities. No, there's no question. We over-index on social media use on every single platform. Like, black and brown folks are the ones that, like, have made all of it pop. And that's why there's a thing called Black Twitter. So we definitely use it. It is a free platform. It's the one space, I think, where communication has kind of been democratized.
Starting point is 00:58:23 And to the point where, you know, we've seen all types of organizing happening online. So, yeah, there's no question about it. You know what I would love to get you to weigh in on? I see that Russell Simmons is now doing this whole campaign, not me, hashtag not me, he's taking polygraph tests to prove that he didn't do anything, anything wrong in his vision with these women that are accusing him of sexual misconduct,
Starting point is 00:58:44 sexual assault, even rape. And so we were having a discussion up here behind the scenes about what happens with these men that are being falsely accused and what happens with these women that are coming forward and saying things. But maybe, you know, you might say, because the guys were saying behind the scenes, like, what if it was a situation where, you know, afterward you didn't want to do it or everybody was high, drunk or whatever and everything went down the way that it did. And then now there's this pushback like not me and there's people like Travis Smiley coming forward and saying that he feels like that investigation was wrong.
Starting point is 00:59:19 They did him dirty. What do you think about watching everything that's happening? Just your point of view. So I actually and I think, you know, Christy Henderson pretty well. But Christy and I like we're going rounds on the phone, not fighting, but just like being tormented by the fact that you are fully black, fully woman and the conflicts that exist just within that. And then we ended up taking it on to my podcast because we were like, we can't wrestle with this alone. Like, let's be honest. And I think there are a lot of folks who disagreed with my interpretation and hers.
Starting point is 00:59:50 What's really difficult for me, Angela, as a lawyer even, and the reason why I wanted to become a lawyer, so often we've seen black folks, period, wrongfully accused of things. And the reason why there's supposed to be a justice system is so that you can
Starting point is 01:00:05 litigate the facts and determine whether or not someone is innocent or guilty. What has happened... The process is gone. And it feels like that in some ways and so I'm really torn because I know for years, I know women who have been sexually assaulted or have been sexually
Starting point is 01:00:22 harassed. I know for me, even on Capitol Hill, we would tell young interns to stay away from such and such, which makes us all complicit too in some ways. But at some point you do want to give people the strength they need to be courageous enough to step up and say, this happened to me. And I can't imagine what that feels like because I've never been assaulted. But I do think that I'm concerned about the precedent it sets for people to no longer have to go
Starting point is 01:00:50 through a process to determine whether someone is guilty or innocent. Simple. That said, if it was just one, I don't give a damn if it was 11 and there was just one. That's what I was saying. You still are accountable for that one. I don't care. Like, you can
Starting point is 01:01:05 litigate the facts on, if it was Bill Cosby, let's say, he said it wasn't 63 of them, it was 10. That's still 10 too damn many. You know what I mean? And so we just have to figure out what the balance is. But it does feel like it's swaying all the way back over here.
Starting point is 01:01:21 And it terrifies, I think about Emmett Till, I think about black men who've recently been exonerated because they did not rape that white woman who said that, you know what I mean? So I'm inherently conflicted. I know they're going to be viewed.
Starting point is 01:01:32 It's a difficult situation. It's not difficult if you're being objective about it because as a man, it's simple. It's like... This is not simple. It's not simple. But I just want to know as a man,
Starting point is 01:01:41 how do I prove I didn't do it? You can't prove it. If Russell's saying he didn't do it and Tavis and Molly's saying he didn't do it, Tavis and Miley's saying he didn't do it, why do we have to discredit them? We shouldn't discredit them. And we shouldn't discredit the people that are accusing him either. Because I think the challenge with, I'm not going to speak to Tavis
Starting point is 01:01:57 because I have other issues with Tavis. Like where the hell has he been through the whole Trump administration? Not saying anything, but he was dragging Barack Obama. So I digress. I don't know what his personal life looks like. But with Russell Simmons, I can say what bothered me about some of his statements is I don't recall our night together like that. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen that way to that person.
Starting point is 01:02:19 In his head, it might have been consensual. Russell also said that he used a lot of drugs. A lot of cocaine. But that doesn't excuse for sex. And it doesn't excuse you not taking no for no. I don't know if it happened or not, but I'm saying the narrative around it, like whoever's helping him with his PR and his messaging, it's been off. And I also feel like women are coming forward,
Starting point is 01:02:41 and it's not like they're pressing charges or getting anything out of it. Like, what does Selma Hayek get out of telling her story about Harvey Weinstein and what happened? If anything, some people might feel more ostracized. It's a hard story to tell. So for them to come forward, it just makes you feel like, well, what do these women get out of it?
Starting point is 01:02:57 It's not like they're getting the fame that they want to get. Maybe they just want revenge. Part of it could be revenge. Part of it could be, we don't know if these folks have been able to sleep at night since whatever happened. We also have to acknowledge, y'all, like, whether you're a man, woman, or identify as, you know, neither, there are people who are attention-seeking. One of them just left the White House. No, seriously.
Starting point is 01:03:21 There are people who are attention-seeking. There are people who will do anything for a check, and that is happening, seriously. There are people who are attention seeking. There are people who will do anything for a check. And that is happening, too. I know of a member of Congress who's being accused right now. And this same person accused someone in a prior job like that. And sometimes that stuff doesn't just happen. You know what I mean? So we have to take all of that into account.
Starting point is 01:03:38 And that's why I feel so torn. I know as a woman, I can't imagine what it's like. I know what it's like to be cut off, you know, on air. I know what it's like for you to say something inappropriate, for me to feel like you're dirty because you're undressing me with your eyes. I know all those feelings. So I can't imagine the strength that it takes to have to report something that's real. But I also know that there are some trifling people of all genders in this life
Starting point is 01:04:00 who will accuse and jump on a bandwagon. And so I don't know what the balance is, but I know we have to find one quickly. I just want due process. That's all I want. That's why when I hear these stories, I love to hear that an investigation happens. It can't happen, though. As soon as you're accused, it goes to the paper and automatically... Call the public opinion, you're a sexual assaulter, you're a sexual
Starting point is 01:04:17 assaulter, you're a rapist. Absolutely. But sometimes the other way around for a woman, when she goes and then people are like, she's a liar, you know, you never get a job again, so it's hard for women to when they goes and then people are like, she's a liar. You never get a job again. So it's hard for women to win their cues. That's not happening now. But I do think that there's something to be said for both things can be true. And the one thing that's really frustrating about this moment right now is that it's so black or white.
Starting point is 01:04:40 But truly there is a gray. Truly there is a gray because there are many of us who have been complicit in allowing rape culture to be pervasive. And we need to look at the foundation of the thing to really figure out what our next steps will be that are constructive. Because it's a tough space. It's a really uncomfortable space. A lot of us will be
Starting point is 01:04:58 personally hurt because we know some of the people who have been accused and will be frustrated and want to fight for the people who we know who are the accusers. So it's a tough space. We got more with Angela Rye when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Angela Rye in the building. Charlamagne. Can we talk about voting in Alabama?
Starting point is 01:05:25 Yes. Okay. Silver lining. Christmas gifts. I'm glad Doug Jones won, right? But, you know, everybody's saying that black women are the reason that he won that election. Do you agree with that? I think I want to shout out black people.
Starting point is 01:05:41 That's what I'm saying. I want to shout out black people. And that's not to take away black women at all. Black women voted at higher margins than even black men. Not that much higher. But it was higher, though. Don't be trying to take away our extra 2%. 97% for women.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Okay, but it was 92% for black men. Yes, but that give me my 6%, bro. Okay. Okay. So I'm just saying. But no, for real. But we are constantly setting the standard. We saw that with the 2016 election with Hillary Clinton.
Starting point is 01:06:10 We saw it with Barack Obama in 2012 and 2008. We always show up and show out. And too often, we're treated as invisible. So this is my expectation for Doug Jones. Doug Jones will be sworn in because he won this special election. Doug Jones was doing his press conference talking about how black people definitely showed up. And it's because they know him. Also, shout out to Congresswoman Terry Sewell from Alabama who worked her behind off for Doug Jones.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Doug Jones, I'm going to need 30 percent of your staff to be black like the electorate. Doug Jones, I'm going to need you to ensure that there are super PACs and PACs created and stood up by black people. Ensure they're funded. PACs are political action committees to ensure that we can run other candidates, support issues that we care about. I'm going to need for the Democratic Party, through the Democratic Governors
Starting point is 01:06:57 Association, the DNC, the Democratic National Committee, the DCCC, that's the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the DSCC, that's the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the DSCC, that's the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. All of those entities need to be hiring black vendors. They need to be hiring black staff in senior roles, not just in black outreach. Lastly, they need to make sure they're coming to our communities way before a week before or two weeks before Election Day.
Starting point is 01:07:26 There's an entity now called Collective PAC that's doing great work in these spaces, bolstering candidates, supporting some of their work, ensuring that their names are getting out there. That needs to happen as well. So, Doug Jones, the work is just beginning. It's time for accountability, and we're not going to just celebrate the fact that black women showed up. You're going to start rewarding us.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Not just black women, black men. We need to be focusing on the fact that we showed up as a community and we came out. I had a tweet about that. But you're going to let me have my 6%. We helped swing it in an election. But that's just silly. Like, we'll get more accomplished if we stop worrying about who we get the credit for. No, I think that there's...
Starting point is 01:07:56 Why can't you get credit if you want? Because all black men can't just win an election and all black women can't just win an election. We have to come as a collective. We did not win it alone, but we made up 30% of the vote. I can't tell about the election. We have to come as a collective. We did not win it alone, but we made up 30% of the vote. I can't tell about the memes. Oh, come on. I'm not going to let you be a victim today. I'm not trying to be a victim.
Starting point is 01:08:11 I told you in my tweet, I said, thank you, black people. Yes. But I'm also thanking black women. We set the standard. If we're in first place, why can't we get our first place glory? I'm telling you, you get way more accomplished if you stop worrying about who get the credit for it. I can have a gloat moment. A nice black chunk of people came out in Alabama of all places.
Starting point is 01:08:31 All right, ladies. All right, ladies. Alabama. Alabama's black as hell. That's exactly where it needs to be. It's not a Republican state, though. I know, but let's look at what happens when we use our collective power to influence an election. That's what I'm trying to say.
Starting point is 01:08:46 But you need to calm down because just me celebrating black women doesn't take away from black men. I agree with that. You acting like Blue Lives Matter right now. No, it's just divisive. No, it's just divisive. It's not divisive. And it's inaccurate. It is.
Starting point is 01:08:57 You know it's inaccurate. It's inaccurate. It's not inaccurate to say this group was first place, black men were second place together. That's not what they're saying. Let me read it to you. Let me tell you what they're saying. I don't want to read that because that's not what they're saying let me read it to you let me tell you what i said thank you black women that's what it says there's nothing wrong with thank you black women we were first place oh my god no okay why does that make you mad it doesn't make me mad it's just it sends out the wrong messages we need we need black people we do voting that doesn't take away from that that black women are black
Starting point is 01:09:23 women black people of course course. Very good. Now watch. This is going to come up later. It's going to be divisive amongst people. It shouldn't be divisive. It's already starting an argument, or not an argument, but a debate that it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be about black men, black women. We came out together and got Doug Jones in that place.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Are y'all's percentage numbers as high as ours? It's 92. The black community came out and supported him, alright? Black men, 92%. I said thank you, black people. But he's riding on this thing like it's Blue Lives Matter. I'm trying to figure out why. Can we just celebrate our black women? Listen, it's very tough in a state like Alabama to get 92% of black men to come out and vote.
Starting point is 01:09:56 It wasn't 92% of black men that came out and vote. It was 92% of the voters that voted for him. But that's a lot of people, black men. Yes, and it was a lot of black women. It's both. This is silly. I agree. But what, will they stop?
Starting point is 01:10:10 Once again, we can get way more accomplished if we stop worrying about who get the credit for it. But I don't think there's anything wrong with getting credit. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, can you get credit? So get black men credit. Did you not hear me say that? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Let's make a show. Good night. She said black people. Miss Angela Rye. He can't help himself. Now, question. We were listening to the rumor report, and Angela Yee reported that? Oh, okay. Let's make a show. Good night. She's got black people. Miss Angela Rye. He can't help himself. Now, question. We were listening to the rumor report
Starting point is 01:10:27 and Angela, you reported that you have a boo. What? That's what you're doing today? We talked about this last time. I don't even know why he would do such a thing.
Starting point is 01:10:36 We were talking about this last time because when you left, I was like, I wonder. Okay, maybe not. What do you wonder? First of all, how old was this rumor report?
Starting point is 01:10:45 I don't know. you reported it to. This is like before Angela was even here. That's my skin color. That's my waffle color skin color. I was going to say congratulations. You two waffle colors look good to me. Oh, two waffle colors. You in the color complex stuff now.
Starting point is 01:10:57 He is a wonderful human being. I have learned a lot from him. I also heard Angela called him a starter boyfriend. Oh, sure. I don't think he's a starter boyfriend. He's not at all. And he's been supportive of y'all juice bars. So don't start no mess.
Starting point is 01:11:12 It is a starter jacket. He's not a starter boyfriend. No, we love coming up here. So you should apologize to him for that because that's hurtful. But, yeah, I think that it's important to know from just being around him, like I am definitely a better human being. And I appreciate just all he does for the community, for the people, for the example that he sets, for challenging me. He's just a good, good guy. He's a great dude.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Yeah. And he can dance, so he can breakdance. Oh, you decided not to breakdance? Yes, he can. He was just breakingdancing. Why you hating? Y'all supposed to be cool. Y'all gonna have
Starting point is 01:11:48 a break dance project? You guys know how he dance about. Doesn't you do that? Raps dance all the time. Oh, oh. I don't know. What you rolling up
Starting point is 01:11:59 and twisting? I don't know what the hell that is. He don't even know. He got that from like an 80s white people show or something. I don't know where he got that. He be like a disco dance. I don't know what the hell that is. He don't even know. He got that from like an 80s white people show or something.
Starting point is 01:12:06 I don't know where he got that. He be like a disco dancer. I don't know what. Don't be coming for his break dancing either. If I ain't going to let Angela call him a starter boyfriend, I ain't going to let you come for his break dancing. Nah, come. He just my guy.
Starting point is 01:12:17 That's my guy. Don't be talking about his break dancing. Anyway. I'm sure he still got it. He does. He still does. He's break dancing. I haven't seen him do it in a while. Let's show him some videos.
Starting point is 01:12:26 I'm fake news ass. I don't know what you're doing over here today. My goodness. Throw my phone at you. Well, thanks for joining us again. Thanks for having me. And you have a happy new year and happy holidays. AR-15.

No, I always make fun of Kwanzaa because it sounds like. It doesn't sound like Omarosa. It doesn't sound like Omarosa? She can be happy for the holidays?
Starting point is 01:12:45 No, I always make fun of Kwanzaa because it sounds like It doesn't sound like Omarosa No, it doesn't What are you talking about? This is why you be getting dragged for saying dumb stuff sometimes What are you talking about? That don't sound like that That's Swahili, fools
Starting point is 01:12:59 Omarosa don't sound like Swahili? Good night You know what? Angela ran on that dope It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Bye, sucka. Had enough of this country?
