You a worker, worker, gotta make bloody moves. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, sir. Black Eyed Peas. Whoa, I didn't know y'all do that

Come on You know what I always wanted to talk to y'all about man Because I don't think people discuss it enough You guys were really signed with Eazy-E back in the day Yeah I was signed Roofless Yeah I was signed with Roofless in 92 When Dre left

Ice Cube obviously left And he was going around LA Just getting like a bunch of battle emcees to be a part of his writing squad, and me and Apple were signed there from 92 to 95 when he passed away. As a group? Yeah, a different name.

What was the name of the group? It was called At-Band Clan. At-Band Clan? Yeah, stood for a tribe beyond a nation. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I mean, that's always interesting, because people see Black Eyed Peas and they think

pop group, pop records, but, you know, they don't think, like, Roofless is hip-hop, hip-hop, right? Yeah, so Eazy was a big inspiration as far as, like, his business sense and the things he signed, and he was more than just a rapper. He was an entrepreneur, signed everything from Bone thugs to blood abraham to at bank claim like why would he want us in his stable why would he go out and see to find you know to fill different niches and and voids and and culture so at the time in 92 diggable planets and all those folks were like we're big this is before fars Farside. And we were there on Roofless.

So he just really just expanded our perspective on what get it means. How did he sign you? Where did he find you? So I was a club in Hollywood called Ballistics. And I would just battle. Just one of those backpack battle rappers. And that's how we got signed. No demo demo just freestyle

just no gangster records of Apple and Will.i.am like no but you know what we would go to like Eazy-E's gangster functions and have us perform and it was like the most awkward thing yeah I was dead did you feel any pressure like we gotta

yeah you know we were like we had like old school, like, suits. We cut off the sleeves and, you know what I mean? We were like thrift store shopping and it would be like Easy East Functions. Yeah, he would just be like, yo, freestyle. Freestyle. Show them how you freestyle. And so we would just, you know, battle, battle guys.

And then next, Taboo joined the group. Yeah, so I was part of the family called Grassroots. It was emcees, b-boys, musicians, poets. Yeah, and we met each other at Ballistics. So it was all these different crews from Exhibit to Robin Thicke to Leonardo DiCaprio. All these kids, we were teenagers at the time. And not to date myself, but we were teenagers at the time. Not to date myself. But we were teenagers and we were just loving hip-hop culture.

So I met Will and Apple back then. And we created this family. And at the time, it was like we were just trying to do whatever we could to get our name out there. And just continue to evolve as MCs and as songwriters. Yeah. And to us, hip-hop is like, it's multidimensional. So, you know, we do a poor job celebrating the successes and all the different variations of hip-hop.

So hip-hop as an industry, you know, I think could be a lot bigger than it is. When I mean bigger, I'm talking about like billions and billions of dollars bigger. So the first Facebook, the first MySpace was OK Player. And we forget all those things like, you know, from Kid N Play and MC Hammer. That's hip hop. Those are TV shows. But as an industry, we say, ah, that ain't hip hop.

Like hip hop ain't pop. Actually, hip hop is the most popular thing on the planet. Yes. So how, why do we, you know, segregate it and segment it and all these things like this, you know, prison rap is the only thing we consider hip-hop. Right. When in actuality, that's like a setup in my eyes. That's a setup for how we progress as people. You know, all the different versions of hip-hop is hip-hop to me.

Do you feel like you had to prove yourself because you were such a big hip-hop act that you have to prove yourself to the quote-unquote hip-hop realists and hip-hop lyricists? No, you don't do that. That's a... Recipe for failure, if you ask me. Yeah, you don't do that. I mean, although I love it, right?

You know, real recognizes real. So, you know, I'll produce and do beats beats write hooks and get in the studio chop it up and see the ghostwriters battle their ghostwriters I know all the different things so from that like as far as your career that that sabotage for yourself as far as like always trying to get that stamp of approval from folks but we have to prove ourselves to the record companies because you know we were inspired by like tribe boogie down and in LA was predominantly like gangster music you know we shop our our demos and stuff and it's like you know I don't know this kind of like on the left is it tangible and we had to like prove

ourselves and just kept on doing shows all over L.A. And not only that, I mean, Ab came from the Philippines. So Filipino and black, you know. We're on rules. He don't really know that much English. So he don't know that much English. And here I am, a Native American Mexican kid from East L.A., and Will came from the projects.

So we came together for the love of hip-hop. B-boying, emceeing, graffiti, DJing, we encompassed that. No matter what color it was, the frequency of hip-hop. B-boying, MCing, graffiti, DJing, we encompassed that. No matter what color it was, the frequency was hip-hop. I want to go back to something Will said, because it really makes a lot of sense, man. I do feel like we cannibalize each other a lot in hip-hop. Like when you denounce a hammer, denounce a

kid in play, like anybody that was successful back in the day, it seemed like we would denounce. Which kind of, you know, it stifled the genre. The genre could have been way bigger a long time ago. I think, you know, I think it was planned that way. The trickery is down even to the things that we celebrate and call our own. So as soon as like some, it's like a parent hating their successful child.

And, you know, that's just all part of the conditioning of us as a people. That's why I say you got to salute Eazy-E because he saw that. He saw that, you know, it could be bigger. We can't scratch the junk. Yeah.

Eazy-E, thank you for, you know, and Lil Eazy, appreciate your father so much. He, you know, really inspired me as a businessman. And then going from there to Jimmy with just the path from Dre and Eazy to us, from Eazy to Jimmy is, I don't know,

to me it's serendipitous. Do you have any conspiracy theories on Eazy's death? I mean, every birthday from 92, 93, 94, 95, he would call me on my birthday and we would go to Monty's, which is right off of Canoga. So the first Calabasas guy was Eazy. So all these rappers that live out in Calabasas, Eazy started all that. And so birthday, March 18th, 1995, he's like, yo, I'm in the hospital. I got bronchitis.

I'll be out in a couple of days. I have my theories on it, but I think he was administered it. I don't think he had that. Oh, you think somebody injected it in him? Injected it. He's such an unsung hero. That's why I like to get as much Eazy.

Everybody discusses Eazy like they should. If Eazy was still alivees Eazy like they should. As much as we should. If Eazy was still alive, hip-hop, our heroes that we have now wouldn't be around. Because Tupac

wouldn't have passed. Tupac didn't pass. Biggie wouldn't have passed. So those two cats still being in the game, you know, the Giants today wouldn't be the Giants today.

Alright, we got more with Black Eyed Peas. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Black Eyed Peas is in the building.

Charlamagne? I've always liked y'all group because it represents what America could be as far as, like, diversity. Because, like, three different people from three totally different backgrounds. How the hell do y'all get together like yeah but a quick synopsis of so I was adopted for the Philippines and my adopted father was roommate with Will's uncle no my uncle was roommate with your dad oh yeah oh yes so my uncle was homeless and uh and uh Apple Apple's dad you know those programs just 25 cents a day will help feed this child yeah yeah Apple's dad. You know those programs, just 25 cents a day

will help feed this child. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Apple's one of those kids. You actually got that money? I never donated because I didn't think y'all really got the money. I didn't know that really worked.

It did. I never saw you on a commercial. Yeah, and you get, you know, you receive the support and then you take a photo of all the items and tuition fees for school and you get to write a thank you letter.

What kind of food was it? No, so they give you like $20 a month, and then you buy your own food supplies, and then you take a photo and receipts, and then you submit it to the foundation. Yeah, so he comes from one of those programs, and then my mom in the projects was like the mom that took care of everybody's kids.

So when my uncle was like at a low point, he's, Apple's dad, Mr. Hudgens, is like this like angel dude, right? So I don't know

who does that. Sponsors a child, meets a stranger, lets him stay in the house until he gets stable, brings his son like, yo,

I'm going to bring my son to America so he could have a better opportunity for education. My uncle's like, I know somebody that could take care of your son while you enroll him in the school. That person was my mom. So from that point, like, dude didn't know any English.

And then the projects, it was like around the time when he was 16 when, you know, the big homies, you know, is, you know, tossing stuff to the little homies to hold. Drugs, ladies and gentlemen, drugs. So, you know, it was around that time and my mom was strict. So I hung out with Ap and he didn't know English. And hip hop was the thing that we're dancing and battling folks was the thing that we had in common. Wow.

Did you listen to hip-hop in the Philippines at all? Yeah. So I'm from a village, and then when I went to school in the city, I started discovering like J.J. Phat, N.W.A., and break dancing. Wow. And, you know, nobody really knows, but I'm like legally blind. You blind right now? Huh?

You blind right now? Yes. He's blind. He's close enough. After 10 feet, I'd be like, damn, Ab is conceited. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I'd oversee her at clubs.

And she always like, Ab, it's me, n***a. That's true, yeah. I was like, oh yeah. I forgot he's legally blind. I never knew that. That's true, I didn't know that. You're the original P.O.P. Yeah, for real.

When did y'all decide to put a female in the group? So we always had a girl in the crew. So, whether it was Macy Gray or Estero. Macy Gray was a member of the Black Eyed Peas? Yeah. So, we would tour L.A. And when she was coming up, we were coming up at the same time. And it was Black Eyed Peas.

The building was, like, Black Eyed Peas, Ozil Motley, Macy Gray. That was, like, you know, who would be touring the colleges or you know different like bar circuits and our whole vision was to like own California right

like if we can't own California colleges then we should just give up and Macy Gray was a part of that was part of that circuit with us Ozo Motley

Black Eyed Peas Macy Gray and so she was down doing hooks with us singing songs writing songs with us. Then we had this girl named Estero. I remember Estero. On weekends, like the original Canadian thing.

So we would go to Canada, rock with like Estero back. This is like 97, 98, 99. And then 2000, we were rocking heavily with, and through the whole thing, there was this girl named Kim Hill that was like in the with the P's

toured with the P's she was part of that song Joints and Jams in the video right and then so she was the one I always associate as being the first woman in Black Eyed Peas

yeah so we always had we always had girls in a crew and then we have met Fergie and Nicole in the same day At some like radio concert

Like you know, the Wango Tangos, those big things Fergie and Nicole Scherzinger What's Nicole's last name? I can never pronounce her name Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger

Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger

Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger

Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger

Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger

Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger

Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger

Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger

Scherzinger Scherzinger Scherzinger Eden's Crush. Fergie was in a group called Wild Orchid and we met him backstage. Flipped a coin? We just met at the same time and so I started working on music because they both wanted to go solo. I did Fergie's demo package, what she called it, and I was going to help her shop.

I took it to Puffy, I took it to Pharrell, and then Jimmy walks in as I'm playing the music for Pharrell. And he was like, come over here. You know, it's hard to sell the girls' music. You know, there's too many girls in the industry. We're having a hard time with the artists we have on the label. Why don't you, you know.

I'm just seeing Defiant Ones. That sounds just like Jimmy. Why don't you put her in the group and sign her to your label? I was like, I don't have a label. He's like, now you do. And now it's off. Wow. Now, wow.

That's interesting. So Nicole wasn't technically going to be a replacement for Fergie. That was like kind of like an original thing that was going to happen anyway, maybe. So the thing was uh we had before we met so in that meeting with nicole and fergie in minnesota in 2002 january um we were like yo nicole you should rock with us she was she had a boyfriend's dude named nick hexum 311 311 and he was like no wow she was like well my boyfriend doesn't want me to let me join the group oh hey he's insecure yeah so hey who's gonna send a girl on a you know on tour with a bunch of dudes he worried about you should Jimmy. Oh, wow. What did you say?

Wow. So, so the. We don't know anything about it. Yeah. So, so we, so that didn't happen. And then Fergie was like, just always come to the studio. One thing about Fergie, like she would just always come to the studio and be there with us while we were doing Elephant. It was, it was done.

The record was finished when Jimmy was like, put her in group I'm like Jimmy the record's finished we're done he was like figure it out call me later and that was that so we had to figure it out like yo guys what are we gonna do with this opportunity here you know and at the time you know Steve Stout was ahead of black music at Interscope. So Steve Stout would be like, you know Will, problem with you is you're a selfish rapper. I'm like, what?

Remember this dude? He was like, problem with you, you're a selfish rapper. I was like, but I don't smoke weed and you want me to say, because the song was like, smoke machines and laser rays.

He was like, what the fuck is a smoke machine? What the fuck is laser rays? I'm like, you know, it's smoke machine in the club. He's like, what the f*** is a smoke machine? What the f*** is laser rays? I'm like, you know, it's smoke machine in the club. He was like, listen,

you should say smoking trees and getting paid. Oh my God. I was like, Stout, but I don't smoke. That's your problem. You're f***ing selfish.

You only think about That could have applied to him too because he was only thinking about what he knew. So every time, I love Stout. At the time, so I was like, yo, Jimmy, too, because he was only thinking about what he knew. So every time he, I love style. At the time, so I was like, yo, Jimmy, like, can you put us over here with Ron Fair? He was like, well, what the fuck does Ron Fair know about hip hop? I was like, nothing.

And that's the point. I'd rather be over here with somebody who's not going to stifle us in a form of hip-hop and not see all the other versions. Maybe the other versions ain't selling right now, but that doesn't mean that it's going to stay that way forever. I'd rather go over here with Rob Fair.

Alright, if that's what you want to do. So we went from Interscope to A&M. And with them, we had freedom to express and flex and just dream as big as possible. All right, we got more with Black Eyed Peas when we come back. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Black Eyed Peas are in the building. Now, you guys did a new comic book. And Fergie said she would love to be a part of it. Yeah, so Master of the Sun, we wrote that. We've been writing that for the past five years. The whole thesis of the story is, you know, takes place in 1980.

Hip hop is bubbling out the Bronx. And the star of the world that we built is Zulu X and the Blastmasters. They travel into L.A. They run into Crips and Bloods, and they realize they're feuding on where they're selling a certain type of drug, and they're trying to get the Crips and the Bloods to stop selling it because it's turning the community into zombies. So what we did was we over-exaggerated on crackheads to zombies by borrowing from things that actually happened.

So in doing that, we had to go to KRS and ask KRS for his blessing to call him the crew of the Blastmasters. So when they get to, you know, that thickness with the Bloods and the Crips and asking them to cease and stop selling this drug, they asked who the supplier was, and they realized that it's a shapeshifting alien who's been divisive in the African-American community from slavery... The white man! ...to killing Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and taking a part of the Black Panther Party, and now it's on its way to poison the hip hop community.

And in the book, it's amazing. There's this section in the book where he was like, and this time the black man would enslave themselves. So it's an amazing, you know, it pulls on what's actually going on in in the world um but then like you know heightens it with like awesome you know myth egyptology i love the fact that the messaging too because messaging is is very important like y'all are delivering messages through your art right and like you know where's the love you know i look around at this climate and ask myself that constantly what do you think can be done to make people feel more love in this climate?

Yeah, so the weird thing is, like, with all the things that are happening right now, there's not that many artists that are, you know, speaking on the time. So very few, given the amount of people that have access to be able to reach, right? So everyone has the ability to put stuff on soundcloud and youtube but it seems as if like those types of messages those types of songs don't work and they don't work on purpose um and so you know to kendrick lamar's thank you jay coals thank you for thank you for doing your part and for y'all's generation. But

if this was an era, it would be like the 50s. So the 50s and the 40s, they didn't really talk about the war and the times. There was Wababaloo, Bababamboo, Tutti Frutti. There was Littles, a whole bunch of Little Richard, Little Walker. He's not gay no more, by the way, he said.

Little Richard. I didn't even know that. Yeah, I saw him do an interview a couple days ago. He's not gay no more, by the way, he said. Lil Richard. Oh, I didn't even know that. Yeah, I saw him do an interview a couple days ago. He's happy. Yeah. So, you know, so, but love, like, love for some reason is like a weak thing, when really it's the strongest thing, right? So we just do our part, and this book

right here is like, to us, love, it's like a different way of saying, you know, writing those types of records. You said the music is designed that way. It's designed not to work, like the positive music. Why do you think that is? I really think there is like a higher working on a frequency level to keep us chasing nothing. Negativity. Nothing is worth money.

Writing songs, don't get me wrong, we wrote songs. Boom Boom Pow really ain't about nothing. I'm not saying that everything that we do is super conscious. That's not real. But for some reason, nothing pays. And substance is risky. Right. And substance is hard to get over. Substance

is, you know, people ain't really spitting substance. A lot of people say West Coast gangster have had a lot to do with that, though. Because if you look at what the East Coast was doing at that time, you know, the Public Enemy's, KRS-One, the records like Self-Destruction, and then you had the West Coast come with the gangsters. Well, I mean, just to NWA had to express yourself.

So, I mean, that was kind of like the... No, but it's... Death row, yeah. Yeah, okay, you're talking about that era. So there's a part of Defying Ones when Jimmy was like, I don't know if I'm protecting free speech or supporting homage. That part of the documentary was like, so happy he spoke on that because

in reality, it's like prison commercials. And if you think of like, you know, who owns prisons, they're privatized. You could own a prison. And if you think of the folks that are like occupying prisons, it's like blacks and Latins. The Black

Ivies, basically. You could pick up the book at Amazon. What is the book at? It's out now. It's on Amazon. And natives. Now, they can send this book to jail, too, because they get comments in jail now, too, right?

So you think there is... Minister Frackon always spoke on that He spoke on that there was a correlation between The private prison industry And the record labels Purposely dumbed down The black and brown community And make them gravitate toward Discrete life through music

I believe that's true Making it to where we just disconnect ourselves from anything that, you know, that obviously looks different than that. So the fact that hip-hop, in its popular sense, doesn't see Black Eyed Peas as hip-hop, that was designed. Mm.

You know, that's by design. Well, we appreciate you guys for joining us. Oh, man, I could talk to them forever, man. Masters of Sun. Yes, Apple. The comic, you can pick it up right now. Yes, salute to Apple, salute to Taboo, salute to Wyclef John, the black eyed peas.

We appreciate y'all for coming. I told you. What did I tell you? What did I tell you? What you think Charlamagne gonna do? I was like, what? He's probably gonna do like a low blow. He's probably gonna say,

here's what he's gonna say. He went low and high. So, remember when they called you Wyclef on CNN? No, no. So, check this out. They must have stuck you

for Wyclef. One time, they used to call me Wyclef ever since our first tour in 1998, Smoking Groove. So, in my head, it was like the day

that they called Wyclef Will, I made it. Right. So, anyways, make it was like the day that they call Wyclef Will. I made it. Right. So anyways, make a long story short, you know, it's 2015.

I'm in New York. We're doing Central Park. And Wyclef's like, your Will, let me introduce you to my daughter. And she was like, oh, can you take a picture

of my daughter? I was like, of course, Wyclef. And so the daughter says, yeah, you do look like Will right here. I'm like, oh, can you take a picture of my daughter? I was like, of course, Michael. And so the daughter says, dad, you do look like Will. I am. I'm like, yo, I did it. I did it. I made it.

There you have it. It's the Black Eyed Peas. It's the Breakfast Club of the Morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Char shalameen the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest in the building now hold on i'm super excited for this one yes because my girl stizza is here the side chick zigzag zig-a-lag that's perfect oh my god it's so crazy

first of all there's a couple of them the whole whole album? No, just one. A lot of the album. Just one. First off, have you never had a side chick? Of course. What are you talking about? I had a few. Also, did she know that she was a side chick? Yes.

Okay, that's a different thing. That's not true. I don't know that. No, no, no. Did they all know they were side chicks? Aren't you married? Yeah, now. What are you talking about?

I've been alive a long time. I'm sorry. Go ahead. But, you know, I listen to the album, and I feel like the album represents for the girl who is dating a guy who has another girl. But like most side chicks, dude, they catch feelings. And then they want to be the main girl. You talking about Weeknd?

The Weeknd. The Weeknd's on there? Yeah. What else? I don't remember the names of it. That's it? That's the only one? No, it seems like it's more than that.

And it seems like you... You're just connected to that, because that's the life you live. Yeah. That's the only one No it seems like It's more than that And it seems like You're connected to that Because that's the life you live Yeah I'm not gonna lie though The Weeknd is a standout song On there though It is Like I really did I was listening to it

And I really loved it And I was tweeting about it And now I'm doing A side chick playlist For Tidal Because of the song Wait can I explain this real quick What I'm actually saying

In the song is My man is your man Like we all share The same dude saying that. I'm aware. I don't care. I don't need to be his girl. I'm not even saying that you're his girl. I'm saying that none of us are his girl.

All of us are just out here trying to get different things for different reasons. And my particular reason is just get here and do what you said you was going to do. You just want some peanuts on Friday and Saturday. On this particular song. Right. Okay. On this particular song. On this particular song. On this particular song. Right. On this particular song.

It's the best part of the week. I think it's like taking the power back. Because it's like women just are supposed to do something like cry and feel weird. And like, oh my God, like I don't have no, like he's not my man. I have separate, it's just, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy your life. Focus on what's important to you. If you want to kick it with him, kick it with him.

If you don't, move on. Like it's not a big, it doesn't have to be a thing. So it's not about pickings being slim out here. When it comes to you. If you want to kick it with them, kick it with them. If you don't, move on. It doesn't have to be a thing. So it's not about pickings being slim out here when it comes to men. It's just about comfortability. It's just about being confident in yourself because I think most men don't tell women you're not my only one.

Oh no, that's how you get in trouble. You got to be honest from up top. I think you have a rare knack for honesty. I think most men do not for honesty. I think most men do not possess that. Not even most men, just human beings in general. Like, I would be scared

and nervous to admit the things that I feel out loud, maybe in a one-on-one room, like with a dude, but on wax, it's a lot different. Like, I can come clean

about all kind of things. So I don't know. It's like that. Men kind of have a don't ask, don't tell policy. Hell no. If you don't ask them, don't tell them. What is that? Well, she was telling me a story. No, I'm saying, if you don't know. It's like that. Men kind of have a don't ask, don't tell policy. Hell no. What man you dealing with?

If you don't ask them a specific question, they're not going to volunteer information. I'm telling you off top, I got a woman. I've been with my woman 19 years. I'm letting you know from the start. I mean, used to. Used to, yeah. I'm letting you know from the beginning. But I feel like for certain people, people will be like, well, you didn't ask him if he had kids.

You didn't ask him if he was married. How do you hide your kids? You can't hide your kids. You shouldn't even give a f*** to a man that hides his kids. Sometimes people just don't tell you. Have you ever had a guy not tell you he had kids? Or not tell you? I don't know.

He don't feel like I have dated enough dudes with kids. I've maybe dated like one dude with kids. And I don't know. Like it was very... I love kids. So I'm not the person that you have to hide kids from. I'm always just like,

let's all play. Like, let's all go somewhere. But I don't know. No. After this album, right? I listened to the album. I felt like you needed a hug. Oh no.

Who hurts SZA? I feel like you got so much on here. No, seriously. Who hurts SZA, man? I was like, I gotta get wrong. Four years worth of n***s. No, I just, I just,

I'm exasperated. No, I just, it's really just, I never really talked about, like, relationships in a direct way. I used to be very metaphorical, very figurative, very, like, kind of scared, like, to talk about the way I felt in a literal way or, like, very directly. And I think all these relationships that I'm talking about are over. Do you feel like you needed a man for approval because in some of the songs it felt like you were looking for approval. Like supermodel. Say my ass looks bigger you know. Yes. I think all women are

I think from the person that it's like it's weird you could be this hella confident person but if the one person that you want to find you beautiful doesn't find you beautiful, it kind of doesn't mean anything. Like, it just negates

all these things, even though all these things are still true. Like, you're still beautiful, you're still gnarly. Like, I've been thick, I've been thin, I've had ass,

I've lost ass, and I've felt, like, insecure in the process of losing weight and losing booty, but, like, you love me and you're my friend, so, like, lie to me for today, and then tomorrow you can come clean and be like, insecure in the process of losing weight and losing booty. But, like, you love me and you're my friend. So, like, lie to me for today.

And then tomorrow you can come clean and be like, okay, but for real. Did you have a guy that was, like, all into you when you was, like, bigger? Yeah. Like, he was kind of making you feel bad about being bigger. But then when you lost the weight, he still tried to, like, play mind games with you? No, no. Actually, I am blessed to have dealt with real niggas. That's crazy.

Like, when I was bigger, I was actually mad at my man because he didn't tell me. Yeah. How did you miss that? Like, but it's more so. He loved you regardless. He didn't care how big you were. And that was the key. And I think it's more so the way you see yourself. Because, you know, we don't see the world as it is.

We see it as we are. So I felt fat. I felt ugly. I felt undeserving. So I would look for things and, like, probably things and probably dig in places that there weren't any things to be dug. So what happened to him? The record. So you don't know.

What song on the album is about that guy? I don't know. All of them. First of all, the album's dope. Thank you. Like really dope. From you, that means a lot. No, it's really dope.

Thank you. But you keep repeating, do you even know I'm alive? Yeah. It sounds like you're trying to get someone's attention. Yeah. So I feel like over the last four years, I haven't been just doing music. I've been burying friends, burying family members, burying weight. The way I feel about myself, the way I feel about the world, the way I feel about God, the way I process information.

I don't know. I felt, like, trapped in myself and around my friends and then around, like, guys. Like, I just couldn't explain it. It was weird. It was like I felt very invisible around very many people. So that's why you said, do you even know him a lot? So you're talking to a whole bunch of people. Most of his album is me talking to me.

Like, I'm singing from the girlfriend and from the other perspective. Like, I've been the girlfriend that didn't know, and I've been the girl that didn't know that you had a girlfriend. So it's like, I don't know. It's like you just got to sing from different points of view, like from where your mind is at. Different experiences you had. Exactly.

Did Top Dog Entertainment have anything to do with that? What you feeling like you're not alive because they wouldn't give you a release date? Oh, my God. No. Okay. So the TV is very... You did wake up one day and kind of bug out on them just a little bit.

I did. What happened? Explain. I did. She just woke up one day and was like, I don't know if you said you wanted off the label or you were like, when's my album coming out? It was nighttime. Yeah.

I was up all day. But, you know, I will say that I was conscious. I made a full-blown decision. How come did you regret that? What drove you to that? I'm just hella childish. And I think when I just get caught up in some shit, like, depending on what it is, like, I don't know.

Like, I just felt very overwhelmed. I felt like the pressure. It's like halfway through, I felt like people were expecting something from me. And that was also the day I watched somebody, like, pass away for the first time. It was really crazy. Were you emotional that day?

I was hella emotional. I was hella over it. And then I'm also a Scorpio, which is just, like, just add that stuff. So who called you first after you put that out there? Who was the first call that you got? That's how I think nobody even called me, because I think they were just like,

they were just like, they were like, not like, but also like, but also like, is she, is she wild and like, is she okay? Or I think everyone just assumed that I was wild and I was going to be fine. Nobody hit you? No, I talked, of course, top, like outside of the obvious, like I spoke to top, I spoke to dot, I spoke to punch that night and I, I don't know. I think they didn't even say anything.

They just listened to me. And that's all you need sometimes, somebody to listen. Yeah. All right, we got more with SZA when we come back. We got to talk the album some more. Her catching her boyfriend having an orgy. And did she cheat back on him? We'll find out about all that when we come back.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have SZA in the building. Of course, she signed to TDE.vy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have SZA in the building. Of course, she signed to TDE.

Now, Yee? Now, think about when you first signed to TDE and how you are now. Yeah. It was a lot of artist development for you. What does artist development actually mean? I mean, it means to me that you put out an artist. No, I really don't know. I've always wanted to know.

I feel like I could ask you because it's you. You know, because even just the way that you dress, the way that you present yourself, the confidence that you have, just even your music from early on and how it progressed to now you being able to open up and be honest about your experiences. Like at this table with y'all again. I just thought that was like... I don't know.

I just didn't... I don't know. But that's artist development. Even just writing for other people. I don't agree with that. I think you just grow as a human being. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think anybody at TD could teach you how to be a woman.

No, no, no. Not that they teach you. But I think sometimes people want to assign people that they're ready to put out right now. They already have everything ready. And for you, it was more like you discovering yourself. And people need time to do that. And it is time to grow. I commend my label because they didn't know that I needed time to do that. And it is time to grow. I commend my label because they didn't know that I needed time to do that.

And even when I gained weight and lost weight and stopped lotioning and started lotioning. What? And like, just had to comb my hair. I'm not combing my hair. What? I'm getting braces. I'm not getting braces. I just went through mad different phases of wilding out.

Like, it's just being me. And I think they just supported me every time. I'm not giving you a release date neither if you're an ashy woman. What? I'm ashy right now. You can put up with some ashy n***a, but a girl cannot be sitting in the studio ashy. You're crazy.

Now she exfoliates and she does... I do exfoliate a little bit. What makes you not want to use lotion? I don't want to. It's like an extra five whole minutes. I thought you was joking for real, but you didn't use lotion? I now use body oil and hemp oil and coconut oil

and lots of oils and shea butter. But still not every day. Like, I can't. It's still like a task. It takes like five whole minutes to get your whole body. Because, first of all, okay. This is funny. If you think about humectants and the way that those work, you got to lotion while you wet.

So that you, like, keep the moisture in. Right. But it's like, now I got to air dry. And it's like, this is now 15 minutes into my, I got to go. So now I'm not lotioning. I'm here. I didn't expect that from a here. You don't want to have to take a little bit of extra time.

No. No, if I was 15 minutes late, you would say. I'd rather you take the time to put lotion on your elbows. I'm lotioning. I'm on time. Let's talk about the sound of this album. You said you changed the sound of this album. And listen to the album. There's nothing like this album out that I've heard

in a while. So what made you change the sound of the album and why? I don't think I consciously changed the sound. I think I just didn't know what my sound was. I didn't know who I was or what I wanted to make sonically or what I was trying to achieve or what I was attracted to sonically. I think music was like a separate entity and then I was just over here being me. But I didn't know how to conjoin the two or merge me into the way that I process music was like a separate entity and then I was just over here being me. But I didn't know how to conjoin the two or like merge me into the way that I process music. So when you turn down all the reverb and all the plug-ins and all the stacks and all these things,

like you're left just with your voice and your thoughts. And then now you kind of have to say something. You don't have to say anything, but you have to mean it. The easiest thing to say is the truth. On Supermodel you said Supermodel's dope you said you've been secretly banging

your dude's homeboy on Valentine's Day that's not the interview that I was supposed to first of all I was supposed to go through all these songs in a very tender

safe place and now I feel I feel attacked I did not I didn't come away with any with any explanation I respect the honesty

I respect the truthiness I'm not judging I don't feel attacked I wrote explanations. I respect the honesty. I respect the truth in this. I'm not judging. I don't feel attacked. I wrote the... But you said you've been secretly banging your dude's homeboy. It's a true story. On Valentine's Day? It was.

It happened once. I hope so. You got to tell this story. He had an orgy in Vegas. His mans called me and told me. So his mans were hating on him. Kind of. I don't know if his man was hating on him

as much as his man was comfortable with me. Like, I was friends with his friends. Like, his friends were like my sons. What? No, that's foul. So they felt like, but they told me on some like, Did you say his friends were like your sons?

Yes. It was like an accident. Like, cause you know, it was like, if you like, if I'm nurturing, right? Hold on a second. Hold on now. So your man's homeboy

called you to tell you that your man was having an argument. But it didn't come out like that. And you rewarded him with p***? No. No, no. Oh, that's not who I'm talking about. That's not who she slept with. Ew, that would be so terrible.

He was in Vegas doing that. I did not sleep with the boy that told me. You didn't sleep with the snitch? Right. He's foul. You shouldn't trust him. Aw. In hindsight, I'm pretty sure I can't trust any of them. And he told

on him, he can't trust him. So you can't trust none of them. So who'd you sleep with? That's kind of the bottom line. All of them can't be trusted. So it was this boy that I, just like a boy that I liked and I've been seeing and we had like been kind of talking and like I wasn't giving him any play because I liked my boyfriend.

I wanted him to like me and then he just didn't, on Valentine's Day he like aimed me with a bell. It was crazy. He aimed me. He didn't call me. He didn't text me.

He aimed me on top of the orgy phone call from the nightclub. So I'm just like, I'm like, I don't use aim anymore. It was crazy. Well, this was back in the,

this is all old also too. Yeah, of course. In the world of the ghost face, you don't get a man back like that though. You can't sleep with another man it wasn't intentional

it was just now it's happened the song is more intentional than the action right the song is also like exactly I was mad as hell

on some Scorpio quite long ago I would never wish that on me did you tell him did you tell the guy no but y'all just did so

oh so he don't even know about this the album's not out yet. First of all, most of the people that I've dated are so arrogant. They would never even assume that this is about them. They'd be like, this must be about someone. No, they're so arrogant, they're going to think it is about them. No, absolutely not.

They'd be like, I know she ain't talking about me, because she would never trip on me like that or whatever. Now, the dude who smashed on Valentine's Day, definitely going to say something. He's the most arrogant. He'll be like, I wonder what the heck. Who that? I wonder. It's definitely, and that's Day definitely gonna say something. He's the most arrogant. He'll be like, I wonder what the heck. Who that?

I wonder. It's definitely, and that's it, I'm sure. How was that orgy call? What he called us and said, hey, your man's here doing the orgy. How was that? Oh my God.

So it slipped out. It was an accident. This does not slip out. Yeah, that don't know what he was doing. I think he was definitely on something as well. So he was in a very good mood.

And that's how that happened. And I was like, oh, wow, it's crazy. So crazy. It was an amazing time. Have you ever cheated, SZA? You talking about the album, yes. Oh, no. Yes, but I feel like if a dude is not treating you as his girl,

if he's, who knows if he's claiming you in every circle. If he's having orgies. Who knows if he's having orgies. Who knows if he's even considering you in the same way that you're seeing him as a man. Who, like, you're not his girl in his brain. So did I cheat on anyone? Because you didn't have a girl. Is that how you rationalize it?

If I was trying to say that as a man, you'd be like. You told everyone you didn't have a girl. And you told me you didn't have a girl. No, no, that's your guilt talking again. I No no that's your guilt I wasn't talking to you I wasn't talking to you I would never Are you seeing somebody now? Huh?

For the sake of this album no lord knows no i uh i was trying to explain what my seeing someone's situation i'm learning about myself i'm learning about and honestly i think i was in a lot of these unhealthy relationships because i didn't have enough self-love like built up so and i found when ied the way I felt About myself These situations didn't happen to me anymore I haven't dealt with a trife dude In so long In so long

And I'm super blessed and grateful for that But I don't know I'm just chilling You can't trust guys at this point in your career No no absolutely not Because you're sexy now You done got all sexy and glowed up on them You got an album coming out People know you about to blow.

Somebody out here going to try to trap you. I cannot. I simply cannot. I'm untrapable. You're untrapable. All right, you say that until somebody actively takes that condom off. Oh. Now, listen.

I like, um. You were classy for like 40 minutes. And I was like, wow, this girl is so crazy. All right, we got more with SZA. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

We are The Breakfast Club. We have SZA in the building. Of course, she signed to TDE, home of Kendrick Lamar and schoolboy Q. Now, Charlamagne, is it true you stopped wearing your hijab after 9-11? You used to wear your hijab? That is semi-true, yes. I read that somewhere. No, yeah, so my parents, my mother's Christian and my father's Muslim.

So I would wear my hijab whenever my mom was very supportive. Like I went to Muslim prep school on Fridays. I went to Juma with my dad. And I felt very, my dad kind of ran my household. So that's just kind of the way everybody went but I still go to church with my mom every other Sunday or etc because my dad is understanding and a human being I don't know when 9-11 happened it was just like like kids were very like for a sure yeah and they were very sure about the way that they felt about me or about the religion or

about Islam or like the idea or about islam or like the idea and as kids they thought it was like a very separate thing like you don't believe in god you believe in allah when like the exact literally the translation like it just means god that's it it's another word it pains me to see all this like islamophobia growing and like snowballing and all the bandwagoning because i know the damage that that can like really cause and where that comes from it comes from a place of ignorance and fear not from a place of I don't even know you know nobody wants to be that hateful or that but nobody wants to be that scared either so it's just like I don't know did it affect you in a way because you was kind of

choosing like I guess fear over faith yeah yes a lot of things it's weird like religion when you're young versus religion when you're older it's shaped by your parents the relationship with the church the people in the church etc like and when i say church i mean any denomination that has a congregation it took me a long time to like fall out of fear and like kind of fall into faith but But it's weird. I got into Christianity afterwards to learn. And not because I was afraid of Islam, but just because I spent, like, a lot of my childhood running from, like, the issues with my dad.

And that represented Islam at the time for me. And plus 9-11, plus everything else. It was just like, I just want to try something else. Like, I just want to, like, be a different person. What issues did you have with your dad? My dad is very stern. My dad is very stern. My dad is very stern, and he doesn't mince words, and he doesn't renege on things that he says.

Sometimes, you know, I don't know. I think my dad was just growing at the same— my parents were growing at the same time that I was growing, and I'm sure they wanted more from me. Initially, they were afraid that I wouldn't have enough or that I wouldn't be enough. And I don't know. I think my dad was just, I get it.

I get it. He was really going hard on some whole other shit, but I'm not afraid of anything. Stern protective dad. Didn't want you in the music industry. It wasn't the music industry that he didn't want. It was more so he wanted me to do something with my life. And he felt like he wasn't sure if being he wanted me to do something with my life. And he felt like

he wasn't sure if being in music was like doing something with my life. But now he is. Yeah. He's down. He's so,

and he calls me and he's like, I like this song. I love it. I'm like, thanks. He gonna be mad when he hear the whole album now. Yes, he is.

Oh no. He's gonna be like, I'm not even singing about me and from my perspective and everything. No, no, I don't try to put you down because daddy might be watching.

You think they gonna ask you questions? You think they're going to ask you questions? You think they're going to talk to you about it and ask you questions since you said your mom never really addressed certain things about relationships? It's funny. My mom is now, like, when I do, I do talk to her about, like, men and the way I feel now. And she's very, like, she wants me to just be patient and, like, be loving and understanding, but also, like, not take no control yeah what's that mean when i first think about control like the computer computer key i think about sneaking up

into my parents attic to wait for the dial up to like work even though i'm banned from the phone and banned from the computer like you might be 30 sister you make a lot of old references. Dial up AOL. Dial up AOL. You never had AOL and AIM? You might be over 30. You're crazy. I'm 26. 26? If I was, literally there's Twitter and AIM and Instagram.

All that came in the same of my lifetime. So like I was here before Twitter. I was here before real internet. Like before it was like a whole worldwide web.

And she was just young at the time. Oh yeah. But I mean, I was just on Juno and like googling random things like that's what any of us were doing on the internet back then it's not to look at like let me just google what else this looks like what's that don't listen that's a porn site that you need to ride around in that little van and just walk up to random girls and try to get them to have sex? Oh my God, that's great. Huh? No, no, no. Huh? No.

Roll up in a creepy van and ask women for sex. Okay. But did you control? I'm sorry. Did you explain control? Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. Control is a concept. It's just I've just lacked control in my whole life,

and I think I've craved it my whole life, and I couldn't really arrive at it. And now I'm not really looking to arrive at it anymore. I'm just happy to be present. And there's no such thing as control anyway. It's just a concept. It's a word. It's a fantasy.

It's not real. But if you focus on controlling The way you feel in the now And what you do with the now I feel like it Leads to having true control In the future We like watching you figure it out The album is really dope

I'm not just saying that It's a really good album And we appreciate you You should be proud of yourself There we go It's SZA It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Thank you. Really great. And we appreciate you. You should be proud of yourself. There we go. Yes. All right. Well, there you have it. It's SZA.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Shungamay. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed up. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day.

The Breakfast Club, bitches. So like a donkey. He hung. Donkey of the day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. 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 Charlemagne Tha 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. So if you 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 Chanel West Coast. You know Chanel West Coast and I had a little encounter earlier this year on mtv's ridiculousness let's hear it in case you're not familiar my only strategy is just to tell the truth it's like whatever i said about you i'm gonna say to you and i'm gonna continue to say it to you regardless of how mad you get

say something doesn't make it the truth i told her she was whack rapping one time have y'all ever heard her rap okay good for the people that said no well no hold on hold on let's just get a little way who co-signed drake and nicki minaj is the same person who co-signed me i want a bct award with young money i got songs with french montana yg ty dolla side snoop dogg mind you hold up hold up mind you i did a song with snoop Dogg after getting into a verbal argument with him because he respected me so much

after I spoke my mind to him. He still came back and did a song with me. Why are you talking with your hands, though? You don't know my musical track record, bro. You don't know my musical track record. Sorry. I can't be so funny today because he doesn't know my musical track record.

So get a movie. At Let's Record Show, people always like to say Wayne found Nicki and Drake, but they always leave out Lil' Twist and Tyga. Chanel is hilarious. Bless her little heart. The thing about Chanel West Coast is that she's always talking about this imaginary resume she has. She's always talking about this track record. She's like the side chick who claims she's the main chick.

But when you ask the guys about it that she claims to be with, they don't claim her like that. Now, on Loving Hip Hop Hollywood, Chanel West Coast is trying to convince a producer named A1 to do something that no producer really wants to do, and that's record music with her. Chanel West Coast asked producer A1 about helping her make some mayonnaise

music. Yes, Chanel wanted to know if A1 is interested in helping her provide a soundtrack for her unseasoned chicken breast. And A1 had to remind her that back in the day when I wanted to work with you, you played me. Oh yes, we've heard this tale before. Back then you didn't want me, now I'm hot, they all on me. That's what happened with Chanel

and A1 on Love & Hip Hop Hollywood. Can we hear a bit of this, please? I rap and sing, and I really like your beats. We should definitely link up. Just so you can get familiar, I was with Lil Wayne and Young money like i sat and played all my music for little wayne and i have songs with french montana snoop be real ty dolla sign yeah you could ask them i met you before um i wasn't as hot i was in touch with french montana you know i'm like yo we should work. And you had your shades on.

I don't know. You probably never looked at me, but I was trying to work with you. And you played me. You know, I hope the best for you. I can't work with you. Drop on a clues bomb for A1, damn it. Serve, right? Serve, come.

That's why you got to treat everyone with respect, because you never know who's going to be who. Okay, basically, A1 told the deli owner to hold the mayonnaise. Now, when the mayo that is Chanel West Coast wasn't allowed on A1's sandwich, when she got introduced to a tribe called Curve, not only did she start running down her track record, it was interesting to see how she took me telling her that she was whack. I don't know if you don't, like, if you know my track record. Charlamagne said it, right? No, I had to tell him what it was.

Charlamagne also has went at some of the biggest rappers in history. So in my opinion, I'm up there with Kanye and Drake and everybody else. You know what I'm saying? But listen, if Charlamagne's dissing Chanel West Coast, you're just putting me up in the caliber of the mother****** you dissing. Wow. That's very ambitious. That's dope.

Chanel West Coast thinks because I have called out Drake and Kanye before that, since I called her whack as well, she's on their level. First of all, even though Drake has never been my cup of green tea, I've always said he was an extremely talented individual. Just because I call Kanye West Kanye Kardashian and I think he's in the sunken place does not mean I am not a fan. Kanye West is a musical legend. You, Chanel, are none of these things.

All right, let's be clear on that. There are four types of delusions in this world. All right, you got bizarre delusions, non-bizarre delusions, mood congruent delusions, mood neutral delusions. I would say, Chanel, you fall under the bizarre delusions category. Somebody asked me what bizarre delusions are. Nobody's going to ask me. What's bizarre delusions category. Somebody asked me what bizarre delusions are. Nobody's going to ask me. What's bizarre delusions? Bizarre delusions are considered extremely

odd, highly implausible, and inappropriate based on the person's culture and life experiences. An example of a bizarre delusion would be the belief that an alien performed surgery and replaced all your blood with Kool-Aid without leaving the scar.

Chanel West Coast thinking she's on the same level as Drake and Kanye West because Charlamagne has so-called dissed all of them. I have been very specific about any reason why I wasn't feeling Drake and Kanye about something, but those guys are extremely talented. Just like with you, Chanel, I think you're a lovely person,

but you're just a whack artist. Okay? I think Donald Trump is whack, and I've said that he's whack a bunch of times on this radio, but that don't make you the president a whack artist, okay? I think Donald Trump is whack, and I've said that he's whack a bunch of times on this radio, but that don't make you the president, does it, Chanel? Doesn't make you one of the highest politicians in the world, does it? Just because I diss you and Donald Trump. Chanel, you're a whack rapper, okay? You have done music with all of those people.

You got this long track record, and it's gotten you absolutely nowhere. You have every musical cheat code known to man, and you keep failing. And you know what they say, when all else fails, there's always delusion. Chanel, don't go chasing Texas Pete. Stick to the Hellmans and the Miracle Whip that you're used to, please. Give Chanel West Coast the biggest, huh? Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. All the way from Dallas, Texas. Y'all. 52 Savage. 52 Savage is here. Y'all, how you doing, Charlamagne? What's going on? What's happening, brother?

What's up, man? Trying to get to the business. Now, listen. Trying to bring old people back. That's what I'm doing. Don't write. Old people never left. They don't leave until they die.

Y'all, they here. They ain't get no respect. They are now. Like I tell people, don't just respect me. Now go respect the other old cats that you was disrespecting back in the day before I started this. Why you think they don't respect old people no more? Because I know they don't. I live in the city.

I know they don't. They're not helping me cross the street no more. They're not doing all that. They're not helping them across the street. They're pushing them down the street. They're not helping them. They're not doing all that. They still make fun of old cats. Hell, they shoot shots at me, but man, I love life and I'm so confident. I love it.

As you as a rapper. As a rapper, I'm an entertainer, actually. As an entertainer. I'm a DJ, but when I start to rap, that means I gotta start talking. I gotta start seeing my issues. But you're not that old, though. You're 52? I ain't even old. They say I'm old. I'm 53 now. No, I'm 53, 70. You can't even get free They say I'm old. I'm 53 now.

You can't even get free pancakes at IHOP yet. It kills me. I gotta have that. I mean, the respect level went up. It's more of just a cat rapping over beef. It's more than that. It's a way of saying you ain't never too old to do shit. You ain't gotta look a certain way.

You ain't gotta get fixed. If I wouldn't have opened my mouth, shit. You ain't got to look a certain way. You ain't got to get fixed. If I wouldn't have opened my mouth, y'all wouldn't have known about me. Charlamagne has told many people up here that they were too old to pursue a career in entertainment. That ain't true no more. That ain't true no more. It's more than just, I mean,

I'm bigger than just me rapping over a beat. I can do that all day. I'm, like they say out here, I'm nice, son. Give us some bars right now 52 Why? Cause you a rapper see I ain't no rapper I'm an entertainer

A nephew. All y'all are nephews if you're under 53 years old. Well, Angela's a woman, so she can't be a nephew. That's my niece right there. So what got you? Why the name 52 Savage?

I didn't have no name 52 Savage. I'm 52 years old, and then I did the little pressure thing on the back porch. I just felt like this is a pressure beat. I'm going to call it pressure. And this cat came on this page with, oh, 52 Savage got a new song called Hover Pressure. You know what I'm saying? So I got that. And then I ain't going to lie, I was mad.

I was like, no, I'm DJ Sway because I'm a DJ. That's why I'm the hottest DJ in Dallas. I ain't going to lie. I ain't stuttering. That's what the fuck that is. You're a DJ. That's why I'm the hottest DJ in Dallas. I ain't going to lie, I ain't stuttering. That's what the fuck that is. You're the hottest DJ in Dallas. I'm the hottest DJ in Dallas. I only said that, though, because I wanted people to watch the video.

But that made them, see, they was fucking on them. They ain't going to lie. I said, hell no, I'm DJ Sway. That's my name. Then my cousin says, no, hold up, look. They got Hal Sack, 52 Savage everywhere. So I was like, that's my name. You know what I'm saying?

I mean, I got it wrong with it. And then I looked at it differently as my, I ain't gonna say fans, because I don't like the word fans, because I say I'm a Twitter fan. So they all my supporters. I looked at them and I said, hmm, this might work. And then I thought about him and they was shitting on him.

I said, nah, nah, man, that man, look at his page, it's all professional. Now he stuck my ghetto ass in between. All this professional shit, he didn no, man, that man, look at his page. It's all professional. Now, he stuck my ghetto ass in between all this professional shit. He didn't have to do that. Right. So he's saying something. He's saying it's interesting. No, it's more interesting.

God damn it. It's art. Because when I put it together, drop a track on it, I mean, I'm good. But, you know, this man gave me that name. I appreciate it. So I ran with it because all my shit coming through, 52-7. Now, who started the GoFundMe page? Before you get into that, let's talk about your teeth for a second, and let's get into it.

Or lack thereof. Lack thereof. You know what I'm saying? So, what happened to your teeth? They just, hell, candy on. Thank you. Your teeth don't fall out of 52. All right, y'all wait.

I ain't never been no gifted. I don't believe in privilege. That's bullshit. Gifted. That's somebody handing you something. That's what you call privilege. That ain't privilege. If my daddy had money and they handed it down, you ain't done shit.

Actually, I get my GoFundMe paid for like $40,000 because I'm not greedy. I don't ever want to be rich. I just don't want to be hungry. So I'm super humble. You feel me?

His career has been moving at a fast pace since he was first recognized online as a rapping grandpa. He is glad that he has shown people

that you can be any age or look different and still live your dream. The role model that he has become for the children to young adults has been a joy to him overall, but his missing teeth still causes people

to focus on his appearance instead of his talent. You think so? No, I know so. And then I don't trip on it, but it's the truth. You know, I got to go with the truth over anything else.

Look at you. That's the first thing you say. How you doing, baby? You so pretty. What's the first thing you see? When I see you? Why? Yeah.

Slash 52 Savage. New set of T-Fun. 52 Savage. Yes, sir. Thank you for joining us, sir. All day. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have some special guests with us in the building. This is such a beautiful thing, man. We had this young old man, 52 Savage on. Say what up, 52? Yeah. And then my guy, Daniel Rubenstein.

I was connected with him through Mr. Flawless. Salute to Mr. Flawless. And Daniel Rubenstein is a man of his word. A few weeks later, they both were sitting here, and 52 Savage got 32 teeth. Mr. Flawless and Daniel Rubenstein is a man of his word. A few weeks later they both were sitting here and 52 Savage got 32 teeth. 32 shaves.

Let me see it. You got to show us the teeth one time. His swag is different. Show us the teeth. Oh! Look at that. All right now.

Now, Dr. Rubenstein. It's been a long time since I've done this so I'm practicing. Can 52 Savage eat steak? Can he eat everything? Is he fully good to do whatever he needs to do?

It's like anything else. When you get something new, it takes a little bit of practice. But once he gets the hang of it, he could eat anything, basically. Now, how was the procedure putting these teeth in? Did you have to knock out his three teeth or the teeth in his eight? I didn't. Actually, he has four and a half. Four and a half.

Four and a half teeth. And I actually incorporated his teeth with the whole procedure. Oh, wow. And I didn't take them out because actually I used them as anchors to hold everything together. So it was a blessing in disguise. Tell me how this all happened and explain what kind of teeth these are because I know you said there were different procedures

that you could do to give him his teeth. So what procedure did you do? Okay, so having four and a half teeth you could do... That sounds so crazy. That sounds so crazy. That sounds so crazy. You could do a massive surgery, place implants, takes six months to heal, then another six months to do it. It could be over a year, a year and a half. I was like, I want this gentleman to go out today with a smile that's going to last for a long, long time.

Correct. So I used my noggin and I spoke to my, and I was like, what can we do? And we decided to use his actual healthy four and a half teeth as anchors for the whole Smile makeover. And basically, that's holding everything together, and it's nice and tight in there, and he's going to have a good time. How long did it take? It took roughly like eight to ten hours.

Did you put him to sleep? No, it wasn't eight to ten hours consecutive. It was, we did a little work, pause, we had to have some, my lab technicians work on it, come back,

work on a little bit more. So it was basically like four to six appointments all in one shot. And you did it in your office? In my office. A lot of people said that it would be,

you know, you're a dentist so he would have to go to an oral surgeon. Right, right. But that didn't have to happen. I took care of it. I brought everyone to my office.

Wow. Dr. Rubenstein got a team. I made it happen. How do you feel, 52? I feel good. All of them fine. Have you always had, when was the last time you had all your teeth in your mouth? I can't remember.

Probably 16, 17, 18. How did you lose them to begin with? Just not take it easy? Whole head. Eating candy, going to sleep with nannies in my mouth and all that good shit. Oh, no, I hated them. I associated the dentist with pain. Absolutely.

You don't even know how to talk right now. No, I don't, but I'm learning. Now, did you have to numb his mouth? Or how did that work? Oh, yeah. I gave him a little Novocaine, but not really. I mean, I knew exactly where I needed to touch his teeth. And I knew that some areas are not going to feel anything.

And he did really, really well. Talk about maintenance after the fact, because he didn't know how to take care of his teeth before. We don't want him to lose these. And they gave me a whole toothbrush. Talk to the mic. Talk to the mic. A whole toothbrush.

I used to have a half. I didn't have that much. And I was finished, but he gave me a whole toothbrush. A whole toothbrush. Oh, you used to have a half toothbrush. And this time, a whole package of toothpaste lasts me less than a year or so. Hey.

Hey. Now you're about to succeed. Now you got to start spending money on toothpaste. Exactly. Dang, I was saving money at first. Now, Solomon was asking about maintaining. How does he maintain his grill now? Okay, so, you know, many of us start off with 32 teeth. Then we start losing it throughout life.

So, right now, 52 Savage has four and a half teeth in his mouth. And those are the most important teeth in his mouth because that's what's going to hold everything together. So the way you maintain it, you got to brush, floss, use mouth rinse. Just really keep an eye on those four and a half teeth. 52, you cannot clean your jewelry more than you clean your teeth, okay? They're going to see this first, so I got to do this first. Look at my mouth. What's the first thing you're going to do when you get back to Dallas?

Take these out. So he can take the teeth out? Yeah, I'm trying to get used to him, so he's making me wear them. Wear them, man. Why don't you want to take them out? Keep them in. Now, he won't have any problem with the teeth just falling out. He and the club DJing.

That's what I told him. I said, I don't want nothing that moves when I move. So he was like, okay, I'll take care of this. So the teeth will stay in regardless. They're going to stay in. Because we're using his actual teeth as anchors. And, I mean, his bone is so strong. Even though he had so much...

Yeah, you got to pause that, Mr. Rubenstein. Jesus Christ, his bone is so strong. What the hell? So anyway, so... No comment on that one. The denture is going to

hold up really well. Really well. Now, if somebody wanted to do this procedure and pay for it, how much would it cost ballpark? How do you know 52 ain't paid for it.

You don't know? We do know. We do know. We say no. You didn't get the money and just go for me. They don't know nothing. How much would it have cost? Ballpark.

Because we did it also in one day. I brought the whole team. I mean, it could range between $15,000 and $25,000. Goodness gracious. Merry Christmas. It's worth it, though, man. It's worth it. It's definitely worth it.

52 Savage. I got a percentage on it now. One of the first things we look at is the best team. But's worth it, though, man. It's worth it. It's definitely worth it. 52 Savage. I got a percentage on it now. One of the first things we look at is the best team. But I'm blessed, though. I mean, that's what you said, and it's true. I asked you that, and you was like, no, the chain. I was like, no, the team. I did not say the chain.

Ooh, do I need to rewind? You did say the chain. I said the team, yes. I told him to ask somebody, no. DJ to DJ. And you said, yeah. I said, thank you. Can I ask you this, sir?

That's the reason why I want to, because people notice this and want to give me a chance to see my talent. Right. Just for the haters. That's why I got this. Yeah, now they can't. I didn't get it from me. They can't talk negative about you now.

They can't. Well, they can't. They're going to do that anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just can't use this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they still will when somebody else pay for it. You know how brothers do.

So what? A lot of people were hating on that girl for me. They were like, well, he got all them chains. Why can't he just pay for this? Well, I was fly before the teeth, so when I'm supposed to throw away my... I'm disgusting. You flying now. Throw away my stuff.

Because I ain't got teeth? No, I'm going to still be clean. You got to have something else to look at, too. So I'm going to accessory up. Now, what you were saying, Dr. Rubenstein? Like impact. Yeah, so one of the biggest things that you could see as a change in his total face, 52 Savage's face, is that the lower portion of the face,

if you don't have teeth, it kind of collapses. Right. And it makes you look a lot older. So when you, you know, put in teeth properly, it will build up

that part of the mouth and it'll make you look so much younger. And that's why all these comments that he's getting is like, man, you look like you're 25 years old now,

35 years old. They're lying. They're definitely lying. I'm going to say early 40s. Somebody want to ride the wave tonight. They lying. 40. Don't 40. I do 40. say early 40s. If somebody want to ride the wave, they lying. 40.

Don't 40. I do 40. When you say 25, you trying to get in my pocket. I push the button on that. All love, man, for New York. I'm going to be honest, man. I went to West Coast. I went to Atlanta.

I've been to a lot of places. When I came to New York, I was like, damn, New York ain't never had good rapport with the South, so I wonder how it's going to be. But the East Coast, man, stepped all the way up. And all I want to do is just say I really appreciate it. I really didn't expect it. I didn't expect this much. I expect maybe one of you to answer my answer

because we've been talking or whatever. But as far as I thought it would go, but for them to step up and do this for me, it's probably the first time I actually shared the tour because I didn't expect it. He came out of left field, and I was like, oh, man, Solomon, what the? Well, I'm from South Carolina, so my hospitality is a little different, man. But, you know, salute to Dr. Rubenstein.

Your hospitality got me up here. All love, my brother. Salute to Dr. Rubenstein, though. But hell, he spent his money on it. But not only that, he took a day out of his practice where he could have had patience and many different things. It's a team effort. It really is a team effort.

By myself, I wouldn't be able to achieve this. I mean, my whole squad, they work so hard, and the energy is very similar to mine. They're all my right hands, and they really do it for the bottom of their hearts. So I think I love what I do, and I'm very blessed that I was able to help him and whoever else I can. And your practice is Bensonhurst Dental in Brooklyn, right?

Yeah. Where can people get in touch with you if they want to? I mean, Instagram is cool. Okay. What's Instagram? D-R underscore Rubenstein. R-U-B-I-N-S-H-T-E-I-N. You do kids as well?

I work with some kids, sure. It's not going to last. You're going to hear from Dr. Rubenstein. We're going to have him up here a lot just talking about teeth and whatnot. And we've got to get Dr. Rubenstein on TV. He's too handsome not to be on television. You guys are amazing. Thank you for having me.

I really appreciate it. Is that your shot? You shooting your shot over there, bro? That's my guy right there. Well, listen, round of applause to 52 Savage. Drop on the crew box for 52 and Dr. Rubenstein. Thank you, guys. Thank you, man. We appreciate you guys again, man. Thank you so very much for coming up here and enjoy thestein. Thank you, guys. Thank you, man.

We appreciate you guys again, man. Thank you so very much for coming up here and enjoy the tea, man. Why was Fatboy here? I'm going to call you tomorrow. I'm not trying to call him in. I just seen Fatboy running around.

He's asleep. He fell asleep. Fatboy, what are you doing? Fatboy, come here, yo. Fatboy, what are you doing? Fatboy fell asleep. Fatboy, what up, my brother? What is Fatboy doing?

He still ain't got no breakfast for you, Fat Boy. His eyes is all red. I need to work on that too, man. How are you, Mr. Generous? What's happening, Mr. Generous? What's up? I love you all.

One of the first times I heard of Dr. Rubenstein was through Fat Boy's Instagram. Of course, he get my teeth right. Word. He's my doctor.

He get my teeth right. He make sure I'm good. And now we got 52 good. So thank Dr. Rubenstein helping the culture. It's been a long time. There you go. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
