Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that
arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called
Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,
Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone.
Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone.
The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

And I went to rehab called F***ing House, and I almost lost my life.
They lost my asthma medication, and I had an asthma attack and

I had a choice

I'm sure Charlamagne got an extra book, the new one, and he can send you that as well.
Man, I can't no book help him right now.

They even tried to put me
in a crazy house for a week.
So I went and drug me up.
Yeah, but I didn't even take no medicine.
I gave them the donkey
of the day.
Leave your info, yo.
Somebody gonna get your info.
Somebody gonna get your info now. Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up, Envy? Good morning. It's
Rick. Good morning, Angela. Good morning,
Charlamagne. What's going on? Good morning.
What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Today What's going on? Good morning. Get it on for your chest.
Today's a good day. I'm proud of
Joe Biden for making the good decision
of nominating
Senator Harris as
running mate. A couple weeks ago, I called
in and I was very critical of her because of
her record in the past.
But definitely going into the future, she
has the means to make
amends. Everyone can change.
Everyone can have a change of heart when it comes to things that they did in the past.
And I think Joe Biden said one of the greatest things, that he wanted the White House to look like the country.
And having a woman of different background and heritage definitely helps to make the country more diverse and to bring us together.
And she's Jamaican and I'm Jamaican.
And we shouldn't just be voting for her
just because she's Jamaican.
Boo! Boo! Boo!
Why not?
No, not because.
Because we have to be critical
of politicians at all times.
No, you're right.
It's a high-pressure position
and we got to keep the pressure on them
to make sure they make the right decisions.
But I'm proud of her
and I'm proud of Joe Biden.
And Charlamagne, I'm putting together this
article, right, that shows
the effect of Jamaica as a small
country on the United States, on black
consciousness and on hip-hop
on a whole. You talking about
Marcus Garvey? Yeah, from Marcus Garvey
to Bob Marley to Biggie
Smalls to Grand
Puba, like all these people that got Jamaica hurt.
Safari. Safari. Safari does not have an effect on black culture, my friend. But anyway, Smalls to to uh Grand Pool but like all these people that got Jamaican Safari Safari
Safari does not have an effect on black culture
My friend but anyway um
But uh
Big up to Senator Harris
Big up to Joe Biden and big up to the Breakfast
Club thank you guys hey yo I want
You to go read this article it's this great article
It came out in USA Today I mentioned it a little while
Ago but I forgot to shout it out
You didn't say the
writer of the article. You didn't say his name.
Nikki Solis, a woman.
She's a public defender. She worked with Kamala
Harris, and she said that Kamala
Harris was the most progressive DA in
California.
You know one thing you can take away from
Kamala Harris' time as
a DA is that if she had an 80%
conviction rate, that means she was good at her job.
So, I mean,
if you want somebody that's going to be
diligent on their job and someone that's
really going to focus on what they need to do
and if she could get an 80%
conviction rate during that time,
even though that was a bad thing for us
as black men,
that means she could lock in on her job and do something.
So, she's got to be the lesser of two evils
going into November. And
let's go out there and support her.
I don't even think she's the lesser of two evils.
I really do think she's a political change
agent. I never heard about her having
an 80% conviction rate. But if
you go and read this article by Nikki
Solis, and she's a public defender,
and Nikki says, I grappled with this idea of
defending a former prosecutor for a long
time, but I have to say what I feel is right to set the record straight on Harris.
And this is a public defender in San Francisco.
She said that Kamala Harris was the most progressive DA in California, and she lists
all of these different reasons why.
It was a couple of things on there that I didn't even know, especially the fact that
she didn't prosecute prostitutes.
She sent them to get therapy to deal with their trauma.
I was like, wow.
Child prostitutes.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.

Angel E, how you doing?
Hey, what's up?
How are you? Peace and blessings
Yes, sir
Hey, Charlamagne
How you gonna be waking up late?
You working from home, bro.
That don't make no sense.
Why does that not make any sense?
Bro, because you working at home.
You at home, bro.
You got to get up on time, bro.
You know what I mean?
So just because I'm at home doesn't mean I can't wake up late?
You shouldn't be waking up late, period.
Just like how you...
You've never woken up late for your job ever?
I've woken up late before, but not when I'm working at home, bro.
You got to get it together.
I don't see the difference.
You got to get it together.
I really don't.
I don't see the difference.
Waking up late is waking up late.
Doesn't matter if you're working at home or not.
What's up, Sean?
What up, man?
Guys, I'm just happy to be back at work.
For two months, I was out of a job.
You know what I mean?
As an essential worker, I'm back out here driving a garbage truck.
I'm back out here, you know, in sanitation.
Why did they cut y'all off?
I don't know they cut sanitation off.
Well, I was working at a private company.
So at the end of the day, they did with, like, seniority.
Anybody that has seniority over you, they had to lay you off.
So I had one year there. So they were like,ity over you, they had to lay you off. So I had 20 years there,
so they were like,
yo, Sean, we got to lay you off.
So I'm just happy to be back today, bro.
I got a man early.
I was mad excited,
you know what I mean?
Definitely.
What made them hire you back?
Well, I'm a good worker, dude.
You know, it's like Sean Stone
is not a good person overall.
I'm a good worker.
I do my work and I do my job.
And also, I'm out here trying to provide for my family.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but what work has to do with business?
I'm speaking from a business perspective.
If they got rid of everybody, what made them bring you back?
That's all I'm saying.
Well, the main reason why they brought me back,
there's a guy that's out on surgery.
And he's going to be out on surgery for quite a while.
There you go.
Okay.
Now, got you.
But also, while in quarantine, within two months, you know, Sean Stone had to start his own business.
So if anybody want to check out Sean Stone's business, just go to Sean Stone.
What is it?
What's the business?
Well, the business is I'm selling like TLC wellness products, health products that will help your immune system.
Like what?
And how are you getting these products? You growing them in the backyard? What are you what? And how are you getting these products?
You growing them in the backyard?

Okay.
Are you still doing music?
Right now, I'm still doing my music on my iPhone.
I know Charlamagne don't like that,
but I'm about to get some equipment
and put it up to my laptop
and probably do some music at home, but right now I'm just
focusing on working, man.
Why are you wasting all that storage
on your computer and your phone, man?
I love doing it, man, because
it makes me happy, man, to release.
You know what I mean?
It's not like I want to be putting out music
in the world, but it makes me happy
to release. You know what I mean?
True, true. I like that.
Hey, I love you guys. I love
everybody in the world. Peace and blessing.
Everybody, please be safe.
Practice social distance and just
stay home. If you don't got to go to
work, stay home, man. All right, brother.
Thank you. And I'm happy, man. Let's go.
There you go. Lorenzo!
Yo, what's going on, CJMV? What's
going on? What's up, bro?
Get off your chest.
Hey, listen, Charlamagne there.
I'm right here, sir.
Yo, what's going on, Charla?
I'm blessed black and highly favored.
What's happening?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Good morning, YouTube.
Good morning.
I want to know what's going on.
Within the past few years, like 10 years, why everybody got so damn sensitive over everything,
man?
You can't say nothing
online. You gotta watch what you say.
I be feeling like
sometimes, you ever heard of that?
You be seeing it in movies, when people put it in
movies, like that cryo sleep. I just feel like
doing something like that. I've been going to sleep for
like 10 years, I come back and be like, yo, what's going on?
Well, everybody's so fake politically correct.
You can say whatever you want, you know what I'm saying? You just gotta
deal with the consequences of what you said. And I think that everybody's so afraid of correct. You can say whatever you want. You know what I'm saying? You just got to deal with the consequences of what you said.
And I think that everybody's so afraid of these social media mobs and being attacked
that they'd be walking tightropes and walking on thin ice because they don't want to be
attacked by the mob.
But there's so much access now, too.
Before social media, we weren't hearing what everyone had to say about everything.
Now everybody's voicing their opinions, and sometimes they're saying things that maybe they regret saying
or maybe they're not saying it in the right way.
Sometimes they're putting it out there to get overanalyzed by people.
They only regret when they get attacked.
That's understandable.
That's cool, but you know what I'm saying?
It's like, let's say it's Charlamagne.
He don't ever post his kids, but he posts his kids,
and he does something with his kids.
Right away, oh, my God, he shouldn't be doing this, this and this and that. Come on. Mind your business. Yeah, I agree with you.
Everybody's so sensitive.
Everybody's so soft nowadays.
But it's just the way society is.
Bro, say whatever you want.
Who gives a damn?
Let the mob attack.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Insecure.
Now, what's going on with Insecure, Yee?
Yes, you know, it's the season finale,
and Issa and Lawrence are back together in love.
But the only thing is, during the time that they had broken up,
Lawrence was dating Condola, and she's now pregnant.
Listen to this.
Is she going to keep it?
Yes.
This is not a good time.
We're not even together.
Why would you want this?
This is not ideal for me either.
But that's just not an option for me.
I wasn't ready with Mark.
But this time I want to keep it. And it's not like I don't want kids. I wasn't ready with Mark, but this time I want to keep it.
And it's not like I don't want kids. I do.
So this means you're getting back with her.
No. No. I told
you I want to be with you. But you're having
a baby with someone else. But I didn't
plan this, Issa. I don't want
this to happen. I know.
You can be as involved as you
want. Either way, I'm
good. FYI, this is a complete spoiler alert for me.
I did not see Insecure this past Sunday.
I'm actually two episodes behind, so I'm season finale.
This is your fault, sir.
And, you know, I did wait a day to give people a day to catch up just in case they didn't see it Sunday.
We could have did this yesterday, but I said, well, wait a day.
And here we are.
So what is the question?
So the question is, if you were Issa,
do you think she should stay with Lawrence? He says
he wants to be with Issa. He doesn't want to be with
Condola, but he does have a baby on the way.
This may be the politically correct
answer, but it's the correct answer. That's really
on Issa. Because no woman
is obligated to stay
because the love of her life got somebody else
pregnant. If she chooses to stay,
that's on her. But if she chooses to leave, that's on her. But if she chooses to
leave, that's on her too. Because she don't owe Lawrence
nothing. What the hell? She got to be somebody's stepmom.
But if you were Issa, what would you do?
Yeah, if you were Issa
Charlemagne.
I probably wouldn't stick around.
I probably wouldn't stick around to be somebody's
stepmama. He needs to handle his responsibilities.
And by the way, when you say
in that moment to
me i don't want this baby that kind of shows what kind of man you are you can't not want the baby
just because you don't like the girl you hit that raw you had unprotected sex with her you shot her
club up so now you can't just say well i don't like her so i don't want to be with the child
what kind of negro are you so if i was he's i'd probably walk because that shows what kind of
character you got so you wouldn't stay with that man? You want a different man?
Man, shut up.
800-585-1051.
What would you do, Ye?
You know, it's interesting because I'm looking at Twitter right now,
and Cassie said she should stay because they're soulmates,
and he never loved Condola.
And Malin said Issa should stay because the love they have now is undeniable.
And if it wasn't me,
though, I think that I would have to wait, wait it out. I think I would probably, it would be hard
for me to break up with somebody because they've been together for so long. They lived together,
broke up. She's been wanting him this whole time. That was the one person she was in love with.
But I would also have to take it really slow and not jump all the way in because I'd be a little
nervous. I got to see how he acts. He was Condola he did seem to really like her and sometimes a baby
could bring people together so I'll be a little bit concerned yeah but that doesn't I agree with
you on that end too but that doesn't say a lot about Lawrence's character like you don't want
your child just because you don't like the woman that's's lame as hell, bro. He just said it wasn't a good time for him.
And listen, I think men should,
I agree with that.
It's hard, but he was being honest about it.
And Lawrence does seem like the type of person
who will step up to his responsibilities,
but I'm sure in his head he was thinking,
how am I going to tell Issa this?
I just finally got in a good space in my relationship
and now I have to drop this.
And he just found out at that moment.
So that was his initial reaction.
And so sometimes that's hard. He wasn't expecting it.
Yeah, I think it's up to Issa. I think it's one of those things you having a baby outside of their bond and their relationship can make things difficult or it could be OK. I mean, it's just
one of those things. Do you want to deal with that? You might be like, hey, I don't want that
stress. I don't want to deal with that. I want a fresh start or whatever
it may be. So I think it's up to Issa. Whatever
Issa feels is... Well, yeah, we
know that, but we're just saying, what would you do
if you were Issa?
I'd tell that man to take care of his responsibilities
just because you ain't like that girl. Don't tell
me you didn't like that girl because you liked her enough to hit it
raw. You liked her enough to have unprotected
sex with her and shoot her club up. Okay?
You liked her that much, didn't you? That's a given, but would you stay? Would you stay with your
soulmate? But they've been together before, right? They've been together. They have history. They
love each other. So yeah, I mean. Now you got to raise another woman's baby too. I mean, yeah,
but that's, you feel that's your soulmate. You feel that, you know, that they have some type
of love and some type of bond You know This is something that happened beforehand
We seen it in relationships before
So yeah
I mean
I guess
Yeah
I would stay
Think about Dwayne Wayne
And Gabrielle Union
Wasn't it the same?
Similar
Something like that
They were already together
They were already together
By the way
I thought they took a break
At that time
I don't know
By the way

Y'all be like
I have no ESA.
You better leave his ass, girl.

55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laonia. I'm Jackson the First, King of Kaperburg. I am
the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial
tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What
could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making
a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the
off-road portion to go.

check it out. Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and
families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Insecure.
Just tell them briefly, Yee, what we're talking about.
Yes, so on the season finale,
apparently Lawrence has gotten Condola pregnant.
Condola is the woman he was dating
while he and Issa were not together.
But now him and Issa have gotten back together.
They are soulmates.
They're in a great space.
But he had to break the news to Issa
that Condola's pregnant.
All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. What would you do?
800-585-1051
Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning.
What would you do?
Okay, I'm on the same boat as Issa
and I'm staying.
See? Now why are you staying?
What happened? Tell us your real life story.
Long story.
It's a long story.
Oh, it happened to you? Yeah,. It's a long story. Well, I was with him.
Oh, it happened to you.
Yeah, she said

Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
So I was with him

somebody else pregnant.
Wow.
So, but you guys

She's taking a leap of faith.
I'm not mad at her.
All right. Have a good day, stepm works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. She's taking a leap of faith. I'm not mad at her. All right.
Have a good day, stepmama.
Stop it.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Dee from Nashville.
Hey, Dee from Nashville.
Good morning.
Now, what would you do in this situation?
Good morning.
I've been in that situation, actually.
Me and my guy was together about three years,
and then we had a little hiatus,
and he saw the people, and I did too, but we got back together.
We found out nine months later it was a baby.
He had a test, and it was his.
And I had to end up going to therapy.
It was hard, but we stayed together for a very long time, and now the baby is like nine years old.
So I'm a little older.
And it worked out.
Yeah, it worked it out.
So he has a baby mama from hell, but, you know, he worked it out.
That's the other part, right?
Yeah, you know, it's interesting because you didn't find out until the woman already had the baby.
So it's not like you knew ahead of time.
No, didn't know anything.
She let him know that she
had a baby. He had no idea.
He was thinking like, no, it's not going to be mine.
But he had a
test and it was, yeah.
So it was hard.
Did you chastise him at all for
having unprotected sex with other women?
Because you thought that was something special between y'all?
That's the part I had to go to therapy about.
Because it was like, you know.
Okay.
Like, am I going to be sitting back waiting to see if I have them, you know?
Right.
It was really, really hard.
It was really hard for me.
The first thing you do is go get tested.
Mm-hmm.
Yes, definitely so.
So that's the part I was having issues with.
But, you know, we worked it out, and I love the child and all of that.
Okay.
So there's hope for Issa.
I just want everybody out there to know that raw is rare, okay?
You ain't supposed to be out here just raw and randoms, all right?
When you take that condom off, it's supposed to be with that special someone.
That unprotected sex is for your soulmate, okay?
Jesus Christ.
And, ladies, y'all know when your man te man, the first thing you do is go get that test
and be like, now I got to go get tested
because you running around with your dirty d***.
That's the first thing we do.
Goodness gracious, guys.
All right, 800-585-1051.
We're taking your calls.
Call us up.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Insecure. You want to give us a quickvy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Insecure.
You want to give us a quick rundown, Yee?
Yes, Issa and Lawrence are back together.
They had broken up for a little while, but the only thing is Issa got Condola pregnant,
a girl that he was dating, while him and Issa were on a break.
And now he had to break the news to Issa, but they are soulmates, should she stay?
Now, Charlamagne said,
uh-uh-uh, I wouldn't stay.
I gotta get me another man.
No, no, no, that's not what I said.
What I said was,
I said it sounds politically correct,
but it's absolutely on Issa.
That's a decision that...
No, we said, what would you do
if you were in that situation?
Yeah, we know that, but yes, if it was you.
I said, I don't know.
I probably would not... No, you didn't. I probably would not stick around, not because of the situation,
but because I think that shows how terrible that man's character is.
Like, you can't just not be in your child's life because you don't like the girl
because she was good enough for you to have unprotected sex with.
She was good enough for you to have sex with her raw and shoot her club up,
but now all of a sudden she's not good enough to raise a child with?
What type of n***a are you?
You tell him, girl.
Nayee, what would you do?
I think that I would just have to take it slow and be really cautious.
But if it was me, because we were on a break and he was being honest with me,
I would try to make it work.
And if it doesn't, you know.
Yeah, me too.
I mean, it's, yes.
If that's my soulmate, we broke up, we're back together,
you did this and now break, I think I might stay.
All right, but let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Monica.
Hey, Monica.
What would you do in this situation?
Oh, I would totally leave,
but that's just being selfish because in reality,
it's Issa's fault.
So it's kind of one of the things that now she got to put her head together
on what she's really going to do.
She cheated first, and now he came back, and now she's going to have to deal with the consequences that now she got to put her head together on what she's really going to do. She cheated first and now
he came back and now she's got to deal with
the consequences that happened afterwards.
So you're saying it's karma? Yeah, it's one of them
things. She's just got to deal with it.
I would leave, but like I said, that's just being
selfish, but they was broke up so
you can't blame them. There's nothing wrong with being
selfish though, just so you know. You can be selfish
sometimes. That's on you.
You definitely can be selfish. I know I am
good, but in that case, it's one of the things
that I'm trying to be optimistic.
All right.
Thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this?
This is Anita. How are you?
I'm doing well and yourself. Now,
we're talking insecure.
What would you do in that situation?
Move with him to San Francisco
and make sure he's paid child support.
You wouldn't want him to be around a child, though,
and be in a child's life?
Yeah, that's what I said.
No, you said pay child support.
You didn't say nothing about...
To be honest with you, he does have a good heart,
so he does want to be around him.
But I would still move with him to San Francisco,
and he would
have the baby when he wants
it and then take it from
there. But I would move with him to San Francisco
because there's going to be a chance
that he's not going to go
and they're going to get together
to be honest with you.
So now you got to babysit him.
Babysit who?
Him. Because you can't just be all up on
him because you're nervous that if you're not there
what he might do. And Issa
also has her whole own life in LA.
So that's a little difficult.
If I was that young woman's
father, if that was my daughter,
I would encourage her not to do that. I'm like,
you're going to uproot your whole life and move to
San Francisco because that got a baby with another
woman? Hell no.
That ain't how life works.
You got your own thing going on.
You would encourage your daughter to do that?
Hell no.
But if you remember at the end, she actually almost said that,
that she would go with him.
If you would look at it, she would give him that look like,
well, I'll go with you.
No, what she said was it's a 45-minute flight.
If you remember the end, she gave him the look like,
I'll just go with you.
Because he looked at her like, you will come?
And she looked like, well, yeah.
She didn't say it, but she was going to go with you.
I feel like I heard her say it's just a 45-minute flight.
Yes.
Like, it's time.
And one more thing.
Let's be clear.
I would like to say to you guys, thank you for thinking of Ms. Horn.
Because that story moved me so badly.
Like, I'm happy that you're going to reach out to her and help her.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah.
We're going to get Ms. Horn right.
Yeah, I reached out to her on Instagram, too.
I reached out to her on Instagram, too.
So, hopefully.
We're going to get Ms Horn right. Yeah, I reached out to her on Instagram, too. I reached out to her on Instagram, too. So hopefully. We're going to get Miss Horn right.
Listen, everybody, somebody called in early and said,
didn't that happen to Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade?
I said that.
I don't know if y'all know this or not.
Lawrence ain't no goddamn D-Wade.
Okay?
What does that mean?
That is not no reason to be uprooting and moving to San Francisco.
Is Lawrence going to San Francisco to get a $100 million contract to play for some team?
It's not about the money, bro.
It's about the soulmate. He's doing pretty well.
He's doing pretty well. You're a bird, yo.
Everything is not about the money.
Okay. I love the fact that
Marcus Jordan tweeted
us. What'd he say?
He said, has anybody suggested that maybe
they broach discuss the topic of miscarriages
next season?
Shut up, Marcus.
We talking about now.
What's wrong with you?
Knock it off, Marcus.
Marcus is too much. Shut up.
I'm glad he's into it.
Goodness gracious, Marcus.
We talking about right here, right now.
We ain't talking about storylines for next season.
We need to get sports back on for Marcus.
See, Marcus is down.
Yes, yes, please.
This is why you got to bring the NBA back right here.
We need Marcus arguing about who better, Michael or LeBron.
I'm talking about miscarriages for insecure season six or seven
that hasn't even happened yet.
Oh, my goodness.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special
guest on the line and one
of only two members that
has ever smoked on The Breakfast Club
and he's smoking right now.
Ladies and gentlemen, Snoop Dogg.
Hey, hey, hey. Good morning.
Good morning. Snoop, what's the first? Do you pray first
or smoke first when you get up in the morning?
I pray.
I pray that I can see another day and uplift some more spirits and some more souls.
And I pray that the rest of my family is still alive when I'm alive, when I get up.
There you go.
We've seen a very interesting versus battle the other night.
Very entertaining.
Thank you, my brother.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Now, wasn't the battle supposed to be you and Busta at first?
What happened with that?
Was that ever supposed to happen? Yeah, that was battle supposed to be you and Busta at first? What happened with that? Was that ever supposed to happen?
Yeah, that was definitely supposed to happen.
But, you know, we had some things that was preventing it from happening.
It just was a lot going on.
But for the most part, I really, really, me and Busta Rhymes,
we really, really, really wanted that.
Like, bad.
Because we love each other.
We got great history together.
We got stories of us being on the road together.
So it was going to be a real positive celebration
to show our music and our
skills. But when that didn't happen,
DMX was on his way to California
already to work with Swiss
Beats. So the idea came with
shoot, since X is coming his way,
dog for dog. And I was like,
you know what? That sounds like a
real showdown because I always had a love
and a respect for X. And I remember when he was
running a rap game for two years straight
and I had to take the back seat to him.
So I felt like this would be
a very interesting battle because
I had the rap game in the palm of my hands
at one time and he did as well.
Do you remember the first time you met X?
Yeah, man. It was at Javarga Square,
man. For a concert I did
way back in the days.
And he reminded me.
He reminded me because he told the story of how he created the song Get At Me, Dog.
Yeah, I heard you say it.
Exactly. And that kind of threw me off.
It blew my mind because it's like you don't realize how much you influence the hip-hop world
until somebody keeps it real and says that.
Now, when you're doing your verses and you look at all the lyrics, right?
Because, you know, we vibing, we watching you on TV,
we singing the songs,
but it's a different feeling now
when I got the kids running around.
I'm like, yo, get out the room, get out the room,
because it almost felt like, damn,
I didn't know Snoop said that back then.
I didn't know DMX said that back then,
but it was so natural.
But now, it just seems a little, it's like, wow,
I can't believe Snoop said that.
I can't believe DMX did a song about that.
But you know what?
That's the era that we come from.
We were so blunt.
And all we knew was what we knew.
No, that's real.
Cultural context matters.
That's why I said all the woke motherfuckers, y'all stay over there while Snoop and DMX doing their shit.
All right?
Because when you let bitches ain't shit fly, I said, God damn Snoop Doreal is a good lie.
And I saw all the woke people,
especially the woke sisters,
was vibing to it too.
They couldn't fake it because it's something about
if it feels good to you, it must be good for you.
It wasn't aimed at you, you, or you.
It was just an expression that we had,
and you caught it because you felt like that sometimes.
Like DMX said, man, I play this record every time my baby mama, my fiance, every time she get on my nerves, I play this record right here.
I'm like, man, because he knew all the lyrics, and it threw me off.
Like, when you're a rapper, you don't expect another rapper to know all your lyrics from 27 years ago.
Right.
Yeah, you look genuinely shocked.
I didn't know what that was for.
I didn't know if that was because it was
DMX. I don't know if it was an East
Coast thing. Like, damn. Because the East Coast
people didn't like to give it up for the West Coast artists
like that back then. But now I guess it's cool.
I think that's probably what it was because
I know when we dropped the Chronic album
we basically shook up the whole industry.
And my mission
was to impress the East Coast.
So I wanted to make a stamp to where they
would respect me, appreciate me,
and love me because every time I came to the
Big Apple, if I seen an EPMD,
a KRS-One, an LL Cool J,
Kid Capri, whoever the f***
I seen, I made it a must
to break through security and go tell
them, I love y'all. I f***
with y'all. I'm a fan. Even if I
was bigger than them at the time. And that's
why I felt like my relationships with some of these
rappers on the East has always been
solidified by me being genuine
and saying, I love you, cuz.
You spoke in the battle, too, how you wrote
for Dr. Dre, but then you also
let other people write for you. Which one do you
prefer? I like them both.
I'll give you a great story. Me and the DOC,
that's one of the greatest writers of hip-hop.
We're in here writing this song, struggling
with this beat. We can't come up with shit.
It's like the fourth day.
Dr. Dre fly
from New York into LA.
We all in the studio.
30 minutes later, that shit is done.
He wrote Dre's shit and my shit.
And it was flawless. And me and
DOC was like, well, looks like like this outstruck us on this one.
So we're going to take the backseat and I'm going to accept it.
And it was still Dre and it was Jay-Z and he wrote the whole song.
How was that session? Because that is such a West Coast beat.
That's such a West Coast feel.
Like when you think of West Coast music as a DJ, that's the first record.
One of the first records you go to besides G-Thing?
So how was that session, him writing on feeling like that West Coast?
Well, Jay-Z is a great writer to begin with for himself.
So imagine him striking up for somebody that he truly loves and appreciates.
So he loves Dr. Dre.
That's what his pen shows you.
Yeah, people was wondering why you didn't play it.
Because it's not my record and Jay-Z wrote it. I wouldn't
have got a point if a New York
would have slid on that chat and been like, nah,
Jay-Z, you got that.
Because if I was to go up against Hov,
I think he would play that on me like,
please, please, please, please.
And I'd be like, oh, no, you cheating,
girl. You can't do that.
There was a rumor back in the day that that
Hov was a sneaky crip.
You know what?
He got sly lines.
You know what I'm saying?
He be getting his little walk-on with his literature.
You know what I'm saying?
We read between the lines.
We got lingo that he really identifies with us on some real slick crip.
You know what I'm talking about?
I got to ask you this.
Even though the versus battle is a celebration, right, and you and DMX are cool,
when you were doing the battle, are there certain rounds you felt like you didn't win?
Yeah. When I dropped
deep cover, I thought I was strong
right off the gate. And then
a nigga hit me with a poem
going into his shit about a drive-by
and the nigga said something about
something, all you do is talk about a drive-by
and all you do is just
drive-by. Boom.
And the music came on. was like damn i lost that
in the overhand right in the hole now you know i'm saying i go with like i go with style points
i go with how you set the song up how emotional the song is what's the feedback what's the feel
and did the song make me get up you may get that, or I may lose half a point for being so into your
s***. Yeah, I mean, the thing about you and
X-Man, we both love y'all's spirit.
So it's like, X music
is great, and you just love X
and you root for X. Same thing with
you, but that music, man, that stuff
y'all was making, man, those are weapons of mass
destruction. It's just different
levels to me. You gotta look
at what Dr. Dre was always up against. He
was never like the greatest producer in the world
when he was with NWA and he was making the greatest
music in the world, but they wasn't giving him that.
So when he finally got a chance to get with
Death Row Records and have a breath of fresh air,
some new MCs and a new
light, he was definitely gonna show his
ass. And from that point on, I feel
like Dr. Dre put his stake down as like,
I'm the dopest producer in hip-hop. I don't give a f*** where you from. You can't f*** with Dr. Dre put his stake down as like, I'm the dopest producer in hip hop.
I don't give a f*** where you from.
You can't f*** with me.
Everything I put out spent off and spent off something tremendous.
And I started careers that ain't never died.
You ain't put out a n***a from the West, a n***a from the Midwest, a n***a from the East, and all of them successful?
Yeah.
Eminem.
White rappers had zero respect in rap. He has probably put Eminem in a position
where he could be labeled as one of the top 10 rappers ever. I don't think so. But the game
feels like he's top 10 lyricist and all that that comes with it. But that's just because he's what
Dr. Dre and Dr. Dre helped him find the best Eminem that he could find. I respect Eminem.
And I can see why people would
have him in his top ten, top five.
I personally don't. Me neither.
You've been around a long time. Why don't you
have him in your top ten? Because there's some
in the 80s that he can't f*** with.
Like who? Like Rakim,
like Big Daddy Kane,
like KRS-One, like LL
Cool J, like Ice Cube.
Yeah, the 80s don't get the respect it deserves.
And it's weird because the 80s bred superstars like yourself, like Biggie, like Wu-Tang Clan, like Nas.
Like, I wonder why that 80s class don't get that respect when they talking about top tens and top fives and all that.
Well, when we came, we tried to take them out.
That's why.
But a lot of us gave them respect.
And then a lot of us really wanted their spot.
Just like now.
What the little niggas do now to us?
Y'all niggas ain't goats.
We the OGs.
We the goats.
We this.
So it's like, that's what the game is built about.
Hip hop is a young man's game.
It's not an old man's game.
All right, we got more with Snoop Dogg.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Snoop Dogg.
Charlamagne?
Man, Snoop, I laughed so damn hard when you posted that meme
about Queen Jada Pinkett Smith bringing herself to the red table talk
when it said, when Jada cheated on Willis like she cheated on all of us.
Did you even hesitate to post that?
Like, let me not be petty.
F*** that.
F*** that.
Teddy Riley to the table.
Quit playing, Charlotte, man.
You know every moment we get to be motherf***ing petty.
F***, if you don't knock it off, as much s*** you be doing on the petty s***,
I'm firing off every chance I get.
You dragged me to the table and made me spill my heart out
and pour my soul out to you.
Now I need to get my get back.
They brought you to the principal's office, man.
Red table talking.
Man, they had me triple teamed in there with the little sis, grandma, and her.
I was like, man, this ain't going to end well.
I better fix my time. I'm not going to leave here. Now, Snoop, and her. I was like, man, this ain't going to end well. I better fix my time.
I'm not going to leave here.
Now, Snoop, last time you were up here, I think it was last August,
you talked about the Kardashians.
And you said, Travis Scott better get out and Kanye West better get out.
What did you know that the world didn't know at that time?
That that movie, Get Out, has some similarities to that house.
And I don't like knock nobody or whatever how they get out,
but I'm just looking at the statistics of the men that come in and how they leave.
And it just ain't right.
Like, I'm not picking on nobody.
I'm just saying there's just something strange going on over there.
I've been invited over there a couple times.
I ain't never went.
That says a lot, though, Snoop, because you a person that, you know,
you tend to kick it with a little bit of everybody.
And I'm cool with Khloe, my homegirl.
I love Kendall.
Kylie cool with me.
I don't know that Kourtney and Kim have like a, you know,
because I keep it real, so they kind of like this with me.
You know what I'm saying?
And the moms is cool as hell with me,
so I ain't got no issues with nobody in that house.
I'm just giving you my perspective of it. looks strange when a n***a leave that motherf***er.
He don't come out the same way.
Well, you know what, Snoop?
You did get some backlash for being in the studio with Kanye, right?
After you had...
Let me say this.
Dr. Dre called me to the studio.
Because Dr. Dre was producing Kanye's album.
I don't know if y'all knew that or not.
I may be spilling the beans, but I'm going to clear this shit up.
Dr. Dre called me to come get on the project that he was doing with Kanye.
So I said, I'll do anything for you, Dr. Dre.
When I get there, cuz is there, he playing me his shit.
It's sounding good.
The minds sound like he right.
He in the right spirit.
He rapping his shit.
The shit he saying is spiritual.
It's dope.
And I'm telling him, you back. He like, I want to get the right spirit. He rapping this s***. This s*** he saying is spiritual and dope. And I'm telling him, f*** you back.
He like, I want to get you on something.
No problem. Put my thang down
for the spirit. I'm going to give you that because it's hip-hop.
And I was f***ing with you before you went crazy. And it look like
you back to being normal again.
So I'm going to give you that.
Did that conversation ever come up with you and Kanye?
Did any of that come up? Did you have to
tell him how you feel about any of that s*** he was doing?
Man, one thing about me and Kanye, we've been real since we've been real with each other.
Certain things don't even need to be discussed.
That wasn't the moment or the time or the moment.
He was happy to see me.
I was happy to see him.
And it was a brotherhood.
It wasn't about what we did in the past.
It was about let's move forward and try to get to where we at.
And when I sized him up and seen his mental and what he was on and what he was spitting,
I was like, he got his s*** together.
So I didn't get out with him
because there's been times
in the past
where I've been asked
to f*** with him.
And I was like,
I ain't f***ing with him.
Pac was a Gemini.
Kanye is a Gemini.
Are there any similarities
between them,
his artists,
and I guess people?
That work ethic.
They both got that same
keel instinct.
In the studio,
they're n****s.
They're killers.
Now that you say that, I feel
a lot of Kanye is Tupac
with his aggression and his
energy. It's just Tupac
knew how to aim it
differently. Like, it used to be a time where Kanye
was a perfectionist at telling
stories and expressing what he felt.
And then it just feels like now he's like
he's losing the message behind
what is real and what's fake.
Like you got to really push what you're speaking on.
And in the past, you really knew what you were speaking to.
And you could be asked questions about it and you could answer intelligently.
Now when a nigga asks you questions, his answer to this nigga given nowadays is like, damn, what history book this nigga reading out of?
Have you been watching Corrupt on Marist Boot Camp at all?
Sad. We tried to get him help.
You know what I'm saying? But you gotta want to help
yourself. So, with that
being said, I watched the show. Disappointed.
Don't like how they got my
out there. But he a
grown ass man. And I feel like
this is gonna help him see what
we've been trying to tell him for the past
three years. Cud, go get you some help.
Get off that bottle.
Get in the gym.
Drink some water.
You know what I'm saying?
But when you're going through issues, you know, you lose your mother.
You get divorced.
It's like a lot of s*** that's going on in his head that we wasn't prepared for when we left there for a while.
Because we wasn't taught a lot of this s***.
A lot of us started families and just had to figure it out.
So, you know, we're praying for him.
I love him to death and I just want
to see him get some help and hopefully this television show
can help him get some help.
It sounds like Corrupt got a lot of unresolved
trauma that he probably needs therapy for.
You know, I'm a praying man too, but I believe
in therapy as well. Is therapy something you
believe in, Snoop? Definitely.
That's a lot of issues in the black
communities that we don't admit that we have mental issues
and we need therapy. We need conversation.
We need expression. We need to be able
to get off what we hold on to. And I said
that earlier. We like to let s*** build up
and then we take it out on the wrong person.
And that goes with therapy. If you have
therapy, you may be able to express and scream
and yell at your therapist and get
that s*** out and go back home and have a basic conversation
as opposed to arguing s*** all the time at home.
Have you ever sat down with a therapist?
A couple of times.
I went to a marriage counselor before.
You got to do things to keep the shit together.
Sometimes it don't work with y'all conversation
because you got your views, she got her views.
You know what I'm saying?
You need somebody to step in the middle and be like,
nigga, you was wrong as a mother.
Man, you've been a superstar for a long time, Snoop.
And people think you just naturally cool.
They think it's the weed.
They say, man, Snoop always happy.
I can look at Snoop and hear Snoop talk
and tell Snoop did the work on himself.
I can tell Snoop in the therapy.
I can see you got God in your life.
How did you get to that space?
How did you not lose yourself in the industry?
I had it all taken away from me.
You know, I was the dopest s*** in the
world. My record came out doggy style.
I'm in the Guinness Book of World Records
for the first debut
artist to debut number one. All kind of
little bulls*** to come with it. You know what I'm saying?
So I had all of that riding high
and then that s*** was just taken away.
I'm fighting for my life. A murder
case. Then when I beat the murder case,
my friend gets killed.
Label falls apart.
Label comes after me.
I'm getting death threats.
S*** is on my life.
I have no money, no label, no friends.
Some of the homies turned on me because they was paid off.
So it was stripped.
So I had to find myself then.
Am I going to go stupid gangster and kill up all of these s***?
Or am I going to find me and get in tune with God and find my
spirit and my real reason to be here
you got to tell me about the first time you went to
therapy and what made you go man
the first time I went to therapy
I was having anger issues
and I just wanted some help
and I'm going to be honest with you I don't want to talk to nobody black
I wanted to get a different perspective
on me and I don't think
that that was racist by me saying it I think it was just to get a different perspective on me. And I don't think that that was racist by me
saying it. I think it was just I needed a different
opinion and evaluation because I've
been getting the same. Nobody gives a
f***. He's Snoop Dogg. He's a star.
I did the same thing. I wanted to tell you.
Excuse everything. You know, pay this off.
Buy this. I wanted somebody to tell me
the truth on where I'm f***ing up at.
Where I need to tighten up at. Where am I leaking
at? What is my spirit, what's my purpose?
And to tune in with somebody
who didn't know me and for me to just open
myself up and say all the wrong and the s***
that I did, it helped me find a way to just be
honest. That's real.
Did you and Gayle King ever talk?
Never. And I reached out
numerous times, put the invitation
down, and I still got it open. So, I
don't want to put no pressure on her
or stress her to do it,
but whenever she's ready, I'm ready.
It wasn't personal.
It just was a reaction to my friend.
Kobe Bryant was my friend, man.
At that time, I wasn't trying to hear nobody say
nothing bad about him, and that's just that.
All right, when we come back, we got more with Snoop Dogg.
Let's get into a Snoop Dogg mini-mix.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. That was a Snoop Dogg
Mini Mix. Snoop's still
in the building. Charlamagne? What happened
to your store, Snoop? Wasn't you opening up
a storefront called Snoop Dogg?
Yes, it's coming.
I'm waiting. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to put that out there right
now. I think I want to wait until, you know,
civilization get back to being civilized.
You know what I'm saying? Right now, we're slinging it online right now. You can buy products online on SnoopDogg to wait until, you know, civilization get back to being civilized. You know what I'm saying? Right now, we slinging it online right now.
You can buy products online on
SnoopDog.com or, you know,
Snoopermarket.com. You can get that.
Yeah, I mean, you such a Los Angeles landmark, man.
I feel like you need to have a destination
location when people
come to L.A. Nipsey used to always talk about
God bless the dead. Nipsey used to always talk about
they should have like a Snoopland.
Like an amusement park. He used to always talk about they should have like a Snoopland. Like an amusement
park.
He used to always tell me that shit, man.
Like, you need to put together a motherfucking
doggy land, cuz, but they got
40-ounce roller coasters and all
kind of hood shit in there. They selling
house shoes.
I'm like, cuz, I don't get it. But
when y'all come to L.A., y'all
gotta come to my facility, the compound,
where we did the versus battle.
I think I have my doggy leg.
We were talking about
how you've done pretty much everything
and done so much.
So what is there left for Snoop to do?
Like, what is still on your bucket list?
Yeah, well, right now,
for the past three years,
I've been working with the special stars,
special needs kids.
So we got the Snoop special stars.
Y'all know I got my football league,
Snoop's youth football league. We got kids in the NFL,
college, high school doing their thing.
But we started the Snoop special stars
about three years ago to deal with special
needs kids. And I tell you,
this is some of the most beautiful
shit you'd ever want to see in your life.
To see a special needs kid come out
there and be very bashful.
Then all of a sudden we get to coaching them and playing with them and talking to them and visiting them in time.
And then before you know it, that kid comes out their shell and they dance and having a good time and celebrating.
They doing things that normal kids do.
And it puts a smile on the parents' face.
We have older people in the league.
It's not just for kids.
It's Snoop's special stars.
So we had a banquet that we did where we made them all dress up and we gave
them all awards. So we had a particular
part of the show. We brought a guy named
Tommy the Clown who's a dancer out here.
He came in dancing and it was
one guy, a 77-year-old
man, and he got up and he was dancing
and the dancing was over and he still was
dancing. And when the night was over, his
wife came to me and she said,
baby, my husband ain't got up and dancing
over 30 years. You have
touched his spirit. And I swear to God, I started crying.
It was so deep. And it's no
cameras on it. It's to put the spirit
back into the community of the special
needs. Have you ever had one of the special
needs kids ask you to hit the weed?
No. But one of the
little niggas was like, hey, what's up
with you and Shea Ignite? That niggas was like, hey, what's up with you and Shig Knight?
That niggas still on your head?
I'm like, what the f*** is you talking about?
You f***ing special needs and you ask me some s*** like that? Get your ass out of this class.
There ain't nothing wrong with you.
Hey, Snoop, I'm glad that you're going to be on that No Limit doc too, man,
because I feel like that's a part of your life that doesn't get told enough.
Man, do you realize that that saved my life? Like, man, because I feel like that's a part of your life that doesn't get told enough. Man, do you realize
that that saved my life?
Like, Masterpiece saved my life.
I was going to put an album out
called F*** Death Row,
and Mac-10 was going to give me
a million dollars to put it out.
It was going to be
on Who Banging Records.
No.
And Who Banging Records
and No Limit Records
was all up under Priority Records
and Ice Cube label.
So I would go up there
to see Mac-10. And when I would go up there to see Mac-10.
And when I would go up there, I would have to pass by
Master P's
No Limits to get to Mac-10.
I passed by one day, Mystical
in there. He like, what's up? I'm like, what's up?
I got f***ed with you. I got f***ed with you.
We gonna be at the studio tonight.
Come by. Alright, cool. I come by
the studio. Get on the song.
Master P like, how much you want for the song?
In my mind, I'm like, I'm broke right now.
I ain't getting no money.
Give me 15.
But I'm thinking like 1,500 because I just need something.
I come back the next day.
Master P wrote me a check for $35,000.
So I'm like, oh, I like this style.
You know what I'm saying?
So now he called me to his office.
He said, what you working on?
I said, I got this album called Death Row.
It's my heart.
He's like, hold on, bro.
He closed the door.
And I'm like, man, you ain't going to live to see that album come out.
He said, don't do that, bro.
You can't make no record talking about Death Row and shit.
You got to let that go, man.
He said, let me make an offer to you.
Let me make a proposal to you.
My own boy, Marvin Watkins, rest in peace,
was the middleman to this.
And him and Marvin put together a play that sounded good,
and it flew me to New Orleans.
And I took my father, my cousin, Daz,
and I think I took one more person with me.
And this drove me around the neighborhood and said, pick any house you want.
And at that time, I was living in a house that was under Suge Knight's name.
All my cars under Suge Knight's name.
So for it to show me, damn, you can have your own sign on the dotted line.
I had to say, you know what?
I'm going with this.
So he was like, if you sign with me, you got to come down to New Orleans. know what? F*** that. I'm going with this s***. So he was like, f***, if you sign with me,
you got to come down to New Orleans.
You can't be out here.
So I came, picked the house out,
picked out a car for my wife, a car for me,
got the house furnished,
flew my wife and my kids to New Orleans,
and three years later, f***, I did that.
What happened to that album?
Like, the songs on it.
I don't know.
Some of them,
you know,
I used to live in a house
and when I moved out the house,
I think some of that
was just left there.
When I went to No Limit,
I bought a new studio,
new everything,
new car,
new furniture,
like all that shit in LA.
I didn't give a fuck
about none of that shit.
So the whole project
was a diss record?
The whole fuck that fro?
Like,
so it was aimed at, I'm assuming, Suge,
and who else would it be aimed at?
Whoever was over there, Woody.
Damn.
Now, what made you comfortable to leave New Orleans
and say, nah, I can go back to L.A.?
What made you want to go back to L.A. and leave New Orleans?
My first album, everything was beautiful.
I shot a movie.
The record did double platinum.
We was on tours.
We was eating.
Second album, No Limit Top Dog. I started double d. We was on tours. We was eating. Second album,
No Limit Top Dog. I started
double dutching back to L.A., calling
on my L.A. producers more
and then going sneaking back, getting a song
from this and a song from this. Just testing
my feet out. The third record,
The Last Meal, that's why I called it The Last Meal
because it's the last time motherfuckers gonna eat
off of me. So my mission was to go
back to L.A. on the last album.
And by the grace of God, Dr. Dre was working on The Chronic 2001.
Dr. Dre had just found a white boy named Eminem.
I was on my last album.
Dre liked the shit I had on my album,
and he normally don't like my shit when it ain't his shit.
And that shit mixed the whole album. He mixed the whole album, The Last Meal. And me and him got our groove back. And I was
like, man, No Limit got my spirit back, but that's the shit I need to be in the car with.
And Master P at the third album, he's like, you can do what the fuck you want to do. You can go
start your own label. And I was like, you're you, the realest f*** I ever met, cuz.
Because anybody else would have been like, f*** you, you know I'm finna get 10% override
on everything you do from here on out, cuz I put you back in the game.
That n***a done won't know nothing from me.
Then we get back with Dre.
We did the motherf***ing Chronic 2001.
Eminem album came out.
The Eastsiders album came out.
We went on the Up and Smoke tour.
Everything was back in pocket.
It was like, come on, man. You know what that s*** felt like when that album came out. We went on the Up and Smoke tour. Everything was back in pocket. It was like, come on, man.
You know what that shit felt like when that thing came out.
How did you, like, you said you was broke.
How'd you go broke after Doggystyle?
How about all the money was being given to me.
It wasn't like a nigga was going to his mailbox getting checks.
It was like shit was being dispersed.
I was a young artist.
So at that time, labels would give you money.
You know, independent labels like Defro would, you know, $50,000
a month. Not knowing that these
is getting $300,000, $400,000 a month
off of me, but then I'm fighting a murder case,
so they got to take those finances to fight
the case and discoveries and evidence
and this and that and that and that and this
and shit that I don't know about.
You get what I'm saying?
All of that from you. Yeah, and I can't
dispute it. Like, you're just fighting for my life.
What do I look like telling my lawyer,
hey, man, they're stealing money from me.
F***, they trying to get my life back.
Wow.
Well, Uncle Snoop, we appreciate you for joining us this morning.
So many gems, man.
You can sit here and talk to Snoop forever.
Y'all know I'm a big fan of The Breakfast Club.
I asked to be on this f***ing show.
Y'all wasn't looking for me.
I was looking for y'all.
So next time we see a person we'll smoke together, I'll take two puffs. One. to be on this show. Y'all wasn't looking for me. I was looking for y'all.
That's how many people that person will smoke together. I'll take
two puffs. One.
You gotta get to two. You're right, one.
Hey, I just
want to always salute you, Snoop, man, because
you are an icon in this game, man.
I don't like celebrating
people after they're gone. I want to celebrate them
while you're here because, you know, just
for you to still be walking amongst us, a
living legend for real, for real. It's like looking
at Bigfoot, a Loch Ness monster. It's like,
damn, that's Snoop Dogg. That's right.
Hey, man, I treasure those moments that I
could give people that add
on to this legacy, but I'm just doing
God's work and I'm here to do what I'm supposed to do.
I found out how
to master me, man. All right.
Well, thank you, Uncle Snoop. We love you. Snoop D-O-W-G. Snoop Dogg. In master me, man. All right. Well, thank you, Uncle Snoop.
We love you.
Snoop D-O-W-G.
Breakfast Club.
Snoop Dogg.
In the morning, baby.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man.
They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. They have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day
they chose you the breakfast club bitches who's donkey of the day today
donkey of the day goes to a young 26 year old queen named sydney parham you know who sydney
parham is don't you well you may not know her, but you know her claim to infamy. See,
Sydney is the Michigan woman who recently went viral because she couldn't wait to exhale.
Oh yes, she got her Bernadine Harris setting John's car on fire on when she was caught on camera blowing up her boyfriend's SUV. Don't act like y'all didn't see this video. Okay, we all saw
Young Firestorm. Okay, Queen Fire Lord using flames as a weapon like she heard.
Marvel was looking for diversity, so she decided to audition for the role of the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four.
Let's go to WDIV Local 4 News for the report, please.
This is what the Frazier woman charged with arson looks like after the explosion sent her flying into another car.
The Macomb County Sheriff's Department says 26-year-old Sydney Parham has minor burns and cuts.
The woman busts out a window in the Jeep, pours gasoline inside, and then throws a match.
The force of the explosion she's caused throws her backward,
but she crawls back to pick up the gas can and takes off as the Jeep begins to go up in flames.
That Jeep was all of three months old.
The owner of it, Avery Stevenson, didn't want to go up in flames. That Jeep was all of three months old. The owner of it, Avery
Stevenson, didn't want to go on camera, but he did tell us that while he knows 26-year-old Sydney
Parham, she was not his girlfriend. As to a possible motive, he says he's not quite sure.
He woke up to the boom of his Jeep exploding on Wednesday, rushed to his balcony, pulled out his
phone, and couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Parham has been charged with arson. You can see from her mugshot, she's got a couple burns on her
face. The sheriff's department says she's going to be okay. She is expected back in court on August
5th. Sidney, you thought that was your boyfriend, but as you just heard, he's not even claiming you.
Okay. I have so many things to say. First of all, Sydney, you should feel blessed to be alive with no serious injuries.
Okay.
I truly expected to see your mugshot this morning, and I expected to not see any eyebrows.
But she either has her eyebrows already drawn on, or they are really, really thin.
Moral of the story is she still has eyebrows.
Round of applause for her having eyebrows.
I expected her to look like
Freddy Krueger in the face this morning. I really
did, but no, none of that.
I literally looked at her mugshot and I said
to myself, God is good even
when God doesn't have to be.
He could have ignored Sidney
in that situation. He could have sent all
Sidney's prayers to the spam folder,
but he was there for her.
But clearly,
God had a plan for Sidney
because not only did she not suffer any
burns, there was a
Ford Taurus or a Mercury
Sable. I'm not sure what kind of car that
was, but that car was perfectly
placed to catch Sidney
when she was blown backwards.
If that car wasn't there she might
still be floating backwards through michigan right now do you know in the x-men comic books
when jean gray became the phoenix she used to use fire the ill thing about jean gray was she was
capable of doing anything her mind could think of the reason i'm bringing this up is because sydney
you turned into the phoenix the difference between you you and Jean Grey is you aren't supposed to do any and everything your mind can think of, okay? Especially
if it involves arson, all right? Setting some man who's not even claiming you, setting his car on
fire, okay? I want to take this time to say that I love black people and I hate seeing black people making permanent decisions based off temporary feelings.
Sidney, I don't give a damn how much you thought you loved this man.
And I don't know what this man did to you to make you react in this way.
But what I do know is that now you're the one with the mugshot.
OK, you're the one with the arson charge. You're the one getting donkey of the day. You're the one people are laughing at online because you use fire projection to destroy this man's vehicle and damn near killed yourself in the process.
Okay, somebody has watched the TLC biopic on VH1 one too many times and thought that what the great left eye did was a good idea.
Rest in peace to left eye.
Okay, let me tell you something, man.
A wise urban philosopher by the name of Calvin Broadus.
You may know him as Snoop Doggy Dog.
He once said, now, you know, I ain't with that lieutenant.
Ain't no poom poom good enough to get burned while I'm up in it.
That has nothing to do with anything I'm talking about.
I was just listening to the G thing this morning, so it's on my mind.
But it did make me want to tell you, Sidney, that ain't no pee-pee good enough to burn anything over it.
Okay?
I don't care if you got burnt.
And I'm not talking about flames, young Sunfire.
I'm talking about gonorrhea.
Whatever it was he did that caused you to do what you did, I guarantee it was not worth it.
Okay?
I know everyone was talking about the Usher versus Chris Brown battle this weekend,
and it had everyone digging into their catalogs, you know, but I promise you, Sidney,
this is not what Usher meant when he said, let it burn.
Please let Remy Ma give Sidney R.M. the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw, you stupid mother******, you dumb.
You thought that was your boyfriend, he's not even claiming you.
Mm, mm- you. Come on.
Come on.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Mm-hmm.
All right, we got more coming up next.
We're The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tribe owned country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Morning,
everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. We're still
kicking it with Amanda Seals.
Now, how do you think you've grown during
these crazy times during this pandemic?
I've learned, I've really learned
restraint and the power in restraint and the love in restraint.
And, you know, just being able to be more thoughtful about,
yes, you need to get what's in you off you,
but you can practice the pause
that gives you the consciousness about someone else.
And I will say this,
it was harder for me to do that in relationship than it was like with friends
or with business. Uh, cause in a relationship, you just feel like,
we can all let it all hang out. I'm gonna say whatever I need to say.
You can say whatever you need to say.
But when you start to really practice just the respect of speaking from a place
of, I like you, uh, versus speaking from a place of I like you versus speaking from a place of like,
you're going to hear me. Like it really does change the exchange and it creates a safe space.
Now, can we, can we talk about the real and you led the underground railroad to freedom
and now people are following you. does that make you feel you know although
to be honest i don't want to forsake my spirit or soul or integrity for this town ever again
and it's not that i went into it thinking that because i didn't by any means i really went into
the real like this is going to be so dope, so fun, so great because whenever I would guest, it felt like such a safe space.
You know, it felt like they genuinely wanted to hear my voice, et cetera.
So, but I don't want, I don't like Hollywood.
I hate this place.
What was hot about it though?
Because I thought you brought, like, you didn't change.
Like, you never changed.
Brought the real to the real.
Say what it is.
You are who you are.
Like, you never changed. I've never seen you slip. I've never seen you die. Like Like you never changed. The real to the real say what it is. You are who you are. Like you never changed.
I've never seen you slip.
I've never seen you die.
Like you're Amanda.
But behind the scenes,
you know,
and that's really the lesson I talked about this on Hollywood unlock.
Like you just,
you're so focused on what's happening on camera,
but that's the least amount of time you're spending.
You know,
you spend like an hour on camera,
you know, the most of the time you're spending right you know you spend like an hour on camera you know
the most of the time you're dealing with production you're dealing with your uh your executives you're
not even really you're not even dealing with your co-hosts like that and so you just start to see
like there's a culture in different places that you work that is toxic and sometimes you just
don't know that till you get there. The last year was incredibly
jarring for me. It's just like the level of visibility that happened last year was like
wild. And, you know, some of it was associated with positivity. A lot of it was like negative
things that I couldn't believe were happening.
I just couldn't, I couldn't believe that I was moving in a positive way.
And then like such negativity would be attached to it. When I was moving in a way to what I thought was protect women,
I was lied on and just my character was completely, by many accounts,
people felt like my character was no longer
of merit and to this day
I'm still dealing with that simply because
like a man said I lied
then that's it like there's no
there's no proof or anything
it's just because a man said
I lied I lied and that was it
I know how that feels
I'm with you here and no proof
nothing somebody could say anything and then people run with it and then they bring it up I know how that feels. That is. I'm with you here. And no proof, nothing.
Somebody could say anything and then people run with it and then they bring it up all the time.
Anytime there's something going on, they're like, well, she did this.
Well, didn't she do this?
And you're like, and they have no proof of validity.
But then, you know, you fast forward and there was a whole any party fiasco, you know, and it was just like, I'm going somewhere to support.
But it still ends up going like wild negative.
And then because we're in this very visible space, it becomes this onslaught.
And I have never had thick skin.
I'm a cancer.
Like, so it was a lot.
You know, it really wore on me like real for real wore on me i had like a whole nervous breakdown
in march for real and not there to pass you tissue i know um it's all right i'm just thinking about
it because i was in such a dark place and i know so many people like you just get to a point
where you think like
I can't change myself
but the world hates me
and so then if I'm going to continue
to be myself in the world
then I'm going to struggle all the time
and that makes you want to kill yourself
because you're like
it's never going to get better
so what's the point? And that was a really like real place I was in. And anybody who knows me
knows like, I'm not a defeated person. And they know that I really come from a place of joy
and gentleness. And like, I needed to make myself the passion project because I had put so much work in to my work
and into, you know, not being what people think I am and proving and all this stuff.
And at the end of the day, I had started to believe what they had made up about me, which
is that I'm not a loving person and that I don't deserve love.
And if you're not careful, you'll let the people who know you least make you feel like you don't know yourself.
And I know so many people are in that place right now
and they don't know if they'll get out of that place.
And it wasn't until I started really approaching therapy
and then I started boxing
because I realized I had all this anger in me
and I needed to beat that shit up.
You know, and I started doing Reiki
and I really just started
just letting myself be open
to like whatever the possibilities are
for me to feel healthy again and well.
All right, we got more with Amanda Seals
when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Amanda Seals.
Yee.
In this book, you talk about when you realized that you had made it and that you were, you know, you went out this one night and you were in routine.
Black famous. and that you were, you know, you went out this one night and you were black famous and people
were recognizing you and how your friends were with you and they were like, you did it. I mean,
it requires aggressive self-acceptance. I wonder why it's so easy for people to believe the
negative we hear about ourselves from others, but not believe the positive we know about ourselves and tell ourselves?
I mean, it's like, you know, look how quickly cancer spreads, you know, and I think also,
you know, we are made of atoms.
We have protons and neutrons and electrons.
We have positive and negative charges.
So it's always
there. I think that's why the whole positive affirmation thing ends up being so necessary,
because it's as if you're building up an emotional immune system to challenge those negatives,
because your receptors are always there just as the reality of being a being, you know,
the negative receptors are there. So you got to work to build up your positive receptors.
And that really does take work. And we don't put enough energy into that work we're actually told that that work is corny
you know or that work makes you a simp etc but it's beautiful when you do it because it starts
to make it where like the negative is it's gross it's like you can't even connect to it. It feels so unnatural because you've, you've done
this like Sha Lin practice of only attracting positive. And, um, even as I talk about it,
there's still a part of me that's like, you sound corny, yo. I think it's because we are in a
negative world. So, so like the world is built to me more so to run on negative than positive.
And that's why you got to make sure your world doesn't run on that. So that even when you got
to go out in the world, you can come back into a space. Like I want to be in a positive space at
all times. Listen, I don't want you around me if you ain't happy to be around me. And even if you
going through it, check that at the door. Like maybe we can, not even maybe,
we can make space to talk about it.
But at the end of the day, it's like,
I want you to be happy in this space.
And so often, I mean,
I said a tweet that
rubs some people the wrong way, but it's like,
I said, if his eyes light up when his boys
call, but they're empty when it's just
y'all, focus on yourself, sis.
Focus on yourself.
I think one thing
you said that's very important too, man.
You have to monitor who your energy goes
up and down around.
When I see certain people on my phone, I'm like,
yes, it's my folks.
I'm at the point in my life, I only
want to talk to people I love. I only want to be around
the people I love. I don't have time for anything else.
The truth of the matter is I will always come back to this. Like the
hardest thing that this world makes to me, the world makes it so hard for you to have like
internal freedom. And when you have that, you can go work for anybody really, you know, and you're
like, I'm gonna come here and do this little job and be out of here you know and and then what ends up happening naturally is you just start moving
energy shifting into spaces that are better for you and you find yourself getting opportunities
outside of you know the ones that you thought were only available to you just because you're
attracting something different and i i don't need more wealth I would be
more than happy to simply just continue to work with my businesses and my
companies and build those from the ground up in a nurtured loving space and
that will feed me financially but more importantly will feed me financially, but more importantly will feed me intellectually and internally.
And that is more valuable for me right now.
And I understand for people who are listening,
like there's privilege in getting to that space.
Very much. Yes, absolutely.
There is privilege in getting that space.
And I am so thankful for the opportunity to even have that privilege.
But I also know that I really worked for that you know like that wasn't provided to me it is
available to everyone even though everyone's journey to it may be very
very different it is available to everyone and I think that for a lot of
folks it really looks like it's only available to white people you know it
really does feel like that it feels like it's only available to white people you know it it really does feel like that it feels like
it's only available it feels like it's only available to light-skinned people it feels like
it's only available to pretty people or the skinny people but you know what i mean but
it really is available to everybody and i really um i really just i just want us to do better at
and particularly for brothers to do better at telling other brothers, like
you have everything within you to find peace within you so that you don't have to do the
things that hurt you. And at a certain point, a lot of people, especially men, because of
patriarchy, their pain metastasizes into pride. And next thing you know know you proud of your pain yep and what do we do with things we're proud of
we protect them protect them and that's when you start now you're protecting your pain
and if you're protecting your pain how are you going to ever let it go and leading with ego
because ego feels strong and ego feels safe. I know about that.
But,
yeah, you know,
it's always fun to come talk to y'all because I know there's going to be like self
reflection. There's going to be career
reflection. There's going to be black
reflection, you know, and
you all create
such a beautiful space.
It's beautiful watching you grow, Seals.
Yeah, Seals. We love you and we appreciate you for
checking in. I want people to know
too, as much as I just talked
about how degrading
and frustrating Hollywood is,
when you find the people
that rock with you,
hold on to them.
I hosted the BET Awards
not just because I was the right person, but because the right person knew I was the right person.
Right. And those relationships for me are real.
Like Jesse Collins is my friend. You know, like it is that positive love that you have from those other people.
So I know that I'm, you know, as I advance in this business, I'm in more of a place of being able to make room for that authenticity. And when you do that, you just create more of a trend for that to happen. And then
eventually I hope it starts to knock out all the fake and phony, you know, there's nothing,
there's no air for it to breathe. Absolutely. Well, thank you so much, Ms. Amanda. We tried
to say goodbye three times. Well, actually one last, I'm kidding. Well, actually, one last thing.
Go to smartfunnyandblack.com.
You know, check out my production company, my work, my growth.
You know, I want to encourage everybody who's a creative to understand that this is a process,
but that you really can make a creative life for yourself.
And as a creative, you're going to have to create your life.
And in that, we always know that
you may get paint on your hands,
you may get, you know, splinters, et cetera,
but it's worth it.
All right.
Well, it's Amanda Seals.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Brandi and Monica.
Now, congratulations to them.
Shout to Swiss Beats and Timbaland.
On their versus yesterday, they had over 1.2 million on Instagram Live.
So we thought it was only right that we brought this interview back.
This is when they came on The Breakfast Club.
Here's Brandi and Monica.
Things have changed.
And, you know, I've seen Monica threaten to delete her Twitter account before.
And, you know, I've seen them coming at you crazy on Twitter and stuff like that.
How do y'all deal with the new social media wave that's out now?
I had to accept the fact that it's not like it used to be where you have real journalism
and people that cared enough to try to reach your people and see if something was true
before they talked about it or responded to it or put it all over the world.
People want a reaction.
Exactly.
And it's unfortunate that you have people at home that don't realize
that this is just another way to make money
off them. When you log on, you click,
you entertain, you correspond.
This just puts money in somebody's pocket.
It doesn't bring you any closer to the artist
because most of the stuff is not even true.
So once I recognize that most things
just don't need a response,
Twitter has become a very fun thing for me.
You know, like, I just,
I really don't care what's being said.
I talk about what's real to me.
And that's part of being a celebrity.
You can't really care what people say.
That's part of being a celebrity now.
But what about when it's an old issue that's true?
Like, you know, Brandy,
you had the incident where you had the car wreck.
Somebody unfortunately died.
Right.
You know, people like to bring stuff up like that on Twitter.
Like, I can't sit here and say that I'm not affected by things like that because
I am. You seem very sensitive. Like, you seem like you read the Twitter just start breaking down.
No, no, no. I don't break down. Like, don't take my, you know, humbleness
for weakness at all. But it's, I am a very sensitive person
and I just feel like when people's intentions are bad and when
they go to a place to try to hurt you, like that was a very unfortunate situation that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
You know, so when people take those moments to just, you know, send me pictures of car crashes or that's fair or say things with with with evil intent that it's like I think to myself, how do people go to that place?
Because it's hard for me to,
I don't even know if I have that place inside of me
to try to hurt somebody else.
You know, we all say things we don't mean,
but the places that people go are just,
it's unreal.
And I can't really figure out what the reasoning is.
They're miserable.
And I understand that they're miserable,
but still, it's...
The law of energy
is that energy
is never lost or destroyed.
It's transferred
from one party to the next.
But, you know,
it's been a while,
so I've gotten
a little bit stronger
in that area
when people try
to go to that place.
But, you know,
for the most part,
I use Twitter
to socialize
with the people
that do love me
and that do support me. And, you know, I have this thing, I use Twitter to socialize with the people that do love me and that do support me.
And, you know, I have this thing on my page called Brandoms, and they're like random brandy thoughts.
And I just tweet positive things to help someone else in their day.
My dad is from the country.
You know that already.
But he tells me like these crazy, he'll call me and he'll tell me like some great sayings to keep with you that are just like very, very, I mean, they're, they're, they're broken down so perfectly. He told me, he said,
maggots can't live unless they're feeding off something. Don't let them feed off you. Right.
You know, so he'll call me with little things like that, that, that remind me, it's not to say that
people are maggots, but negative things.
Because we know, you know, it's just that if you feed it, it just seems to fester and grow.
So I just stop feeding things, you know.
Because so many people create their own stories about what you've gone through and their own opinions.
Why is that not illegal?
Don't you think that should be illegal?
It's great to hear from me.
Don't you think that? Don't you think it should be illegal? It's great to hear from me. Don't you think that?
Don't you think it should be illegal?
Especially with the blog, they shouldn't be able to just make stuff up like that.
Yeah, that should be illegal.
But that would be a whole process of you having lawyers nonstop trying to work on that.
It probably is illegal, but who's going to really take the time?
Even for your everyday person, you look at all this cyberbullying.
Look at the amount of children we're losing because somebody in their high school put something on the Internet,
something private about them, whether it's about their sexuality, their parents, whatever.
These children are taking their own lives.
A lot of that's bad parenting, too.
A lot of it is, but some of it isn't.
Because our children, they start to kind of find their own way.
Think of all the stuff we did when we knew better right you know so you you look at that you know you rear your children in
the way you'd eventually have them go not knowing though what they may come in contact with out in
the world so if the world was just a little bit better it may be just a little bit easier for
them to decipher the difference between what they're taught at home what we know is right
and what they're being faced with every day what my kids are going to go through in high school is going to be different than what I went through.
But what I went through was totally different than my mom coming up in noon in Georgia,
in a country where people respected each other.
You know, fellas held the door when you walked in.
You know, it's a different day and time.
So as hard as I had to be to make it through the school systems where I was from,
it's totally different than what my mother had.
She did not know how to help me through that.
You know, all she could do, pray for me.
She taught me the Word.
She gave me the Bible.
But how far from that did I stray before I came back to it?
So, you know, you reel your kids in the way you'd have them go, but I want it to be a
little safer and a little easier for them as they're out in the world, if it's possible.
You know, that's something I'm looking into doing.
It's possible, but everybody has to look within and make the change for themselves
to make the world a better place.
Absolutely.
That's how it has to be.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God,

Flash, slam, another one gone.
Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it. And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
