Anytime I see him, I'm going to s*** with him, man. You never know what he looks like. Is it a crime to be drunk and sleep in your car? Thank you, bro.

Cassley. Yes. Hey, get it off your chest, mama. I was calling this morning just to say that I feel blessed, actually.

And yesterday was my first day, and today's my second. So I'm just feeling real good, positive vibes. There you go, boo. Gratitude is your attitude, boo.

Yo, I wanted to know, what is Black Lives Matter doing for the people, black people that are being enslaved in other parts of the world? Being so, like, we only focus on what happens with Black Lives Matter in America?
Starting point is 00:06:07 But there's a lot going on here to focus on. Well, can I ask you a question, sir? Do you do anything for the Black Lives Matter movement here? No. Do you do anything for the... No, no, no, no. There's nothing else to say. He said no.
Starting point is 00:06:18 So why are you questioning us on what we do for any Black Lives Matter movement anywhere if you're not doing anything for the Black Lives Matter movement at all. It sounds like you're just working for propaganda for America. You guys don't give a shit you're making a little baby bulls**t about Black Lives Matter. Hey, brother, my brother, my brother, are you hungry?

Starting point is 00:07:14 We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. Lecrae. What's happening? What's up, my brother? Y'all got it. I'm just trying to enjoy the vibe.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Why is a Lecrae album necessary right now? I don't know why I feel like a Lecrae album might be necessary right now. Oh, my goodness. Come on, man. It's like, according to prophecy, the world's in the end. Yeah, so let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Nah, man.
Starting point is 00:07:33 You got that happening in a couple of days. Yeah, right. Well, you got one day to buy my album because it come out the 22nd. The 23rd is over. One of the raps will come back on the 22nd. Baby, it's a wrap. So you got a day to listen to the album and enjoy it, man. Nah, man, you know, there's just so much going on.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I mean, societally, culturally, natural disasters everywhere. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like everything lined up well to just be able to tell people there's hope in the middle of the chaos. Now, after the Charleville rise, you tweeted, if anyone feels unsafe at UVA and needs help to transfer schools, let me know. Was you paying tuition or what you was doing? I did whatever I needed to do. Wow. Yeah, whatever I needed to do.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Did anybody reach out to you? Yeah. How many people? About four folks. We helped four people out. Man, your Twitter following sucks, Lecrae. No, no, no. How many people would go to school there already?
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah, they're already in school there. No, no, no. I got a lot of people that was like, hey, help me, bro. You paying tuition, help me. I go to University of Maryland. I'm like, that ain't got nothing to do with where you at. So did they transfer or what did they want? Yeah, so some people wanted to transfer schools.
Starting point is 00:08:36 A young black lady, she was like, man, I don't feel safe here. You know what I'm saying? So I want to transfer to another school. So, you know, shout out to my homegirl who, homegirl who works in academic advising and the whole nine. She gave me the rundown on how to help these students transfer. It really was just a matter of writing a check and just saying, all right, here's the fee. It's going to cost.
Starting point is 00:08:56 We got you. Wow, you did that for four people? Yeah. Drop one of Clues bombs for Lecrae. I can't allow you to be humble about that, sir. I respect the fact that you didn't make a big deal about it, but nah, that's a big deal. Nah, man. I just, you know, for me, I feel like if you want to change what's going on in society,
Starting point is 00:09:12 especially in this climate, you got policy, you got programs, you got, you know, publicity. And for me, I feel like I'm not with the publicity and the programs. I mean, the policies, like, I don't know all of that. You know what I'm saying? But I know programs. So, you know, there's a program I could put you in or go volunteer at a prison or something. And I don't got to blow my own horn and do that type of stuff. I just get it done.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Now, I saw you also saved someone's life. Yo, that was crazy. That was a divine intervention right there. Okay, we're going to tell this story. Y'all want the exclusive. So, you saved a transgender from committing suicide? Yo, it was crazy. I'm with my man man Andy Meneo.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I go visit him in Wash Heights. And he's like, you know... This is New York? Yeah, this is New York. Okay. So we was talking about Cardi B winning. Cardi B, everybody talking about it. Drop all the clothes bombs for Cardi B, damn it. Cardi B winning, and you know, of course, we're in Wash Heights. You know, Dominican capital, you know what I'm
Starting point is 00:10:01 saying? And he said, you know, she and she was in the Bronx. I said, oh, that's what I said. I don't know if I've ever been to the Bronx. He's like, we could walk from where we're at. I was like, you want what I'm saying? And he said, you know, she was in the Bronx. I said, oh, that's what's up. I don't know if I've ever been to the Bronx. He's like, we could walk from where we're at. I was like, you want to walk to the Bronx? Yeah, you was right there then. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:10 This is just such a random thing. It was crazy. To be in the right place at the right time. You really got faith in God to just be walking through Washington Heights in the Bronx. Look, man. Amen. I'm out. Now, you're saying somebody, but you're the one that's got to say it.
Starting point is 00:10:22 But look, that's why I was crazy, right? Because when I saw her running with her shirt off. Cardi B? No. The women he saved. Look at y'all. You messed up the music. You ain't took a picture.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Look, it was, hey, it was empty. You see his face? I was like, wow. You didn't snap this? Nah, so I saw her running with her shirt off. And so I'm like, yo, I'm in the Bronx, though. So I'm like, yo, Andy, she's running with a shirt off. He's like, it's New York.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Let it happen. And especially the Bronx. All the craziest people in the world come from all of Florida and the Bronx. Yeah, that's how you can tell it's a New Yorker. Running with a shirt off, he's like, nah, it happens all the time. Word up. Mind your business. Yo, I was like, yo, should we?
Starting point is 00:10:57 He's like, it's New York. Let it happen. I said, all right, cool. But then she ran into, like, you know, the pillars that hold the bridges up. Like, she ran into it Head first Ding Split her head wide open It's blood everywhere
Starting point is 00:11:08 So I'm like Yo what's going on I can't just let this happen And he's like It's New York Let it happen So he's a little bit in shock Like I don't know
Starting point is 00:11:16 What's going on But she gets up And we standing like Right at the bridge And she runs to the bridge And literally tries to jump And just I just so happen
Starting point is 00:11:25 to reflex grab her and yank her down like yo you tripping what you doing she's like let me go let me go i'm trying to go meet god i said listen we can talk about god right now god wants you to live he ain't done with you yet you know so she's wrestling with me she's strong she was strong okay it hit me because i was like you know she she had a little like five o'clock shadow. Yeah. And I was like, yo, I think this is this is a transgender. And so I'm like, oh, man, I don't know what's going on right now. So my man Andy, you just know it's a human being that needed help. Yeah, absolutely. A trans woman.
Starting point is 00:11:56 A trans woman. Oh, yeah. Forgive me. I'm not trying to be politically incorrect, but it was a human being that matter. That's right. You don't feel me. So we wrestling. And then finally she's like, all right, let me rest.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Let me rest. I said, all right, but you got to just chill out. So she sit down and then she jumped right back up and try to jump over the bridge again. I'm like, yo, calm down. So I'm like holding her. You know what I'm saying? And an old man run up like you got to stop. She kick him in the chest.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Bow. He fall on the ground. Finally, Andy's like, somebody call the police. Police come. And that's just a real messed up part about it, because when the police got there, the first couple officers were helpful, trying to subdue her and calm her down.
Starting point is 00:12:31 But then they saw her wrestling, and some other cops from a distance just saw a tussle. So they didn't ask no questions. They just came and saw a tough guy, just not compassionate at all, and it was an ugly scene. But hopefully, she's good. You're lucky because you, a man, wrestling with her,
Starting point is 00:12:50 blood all over you. Yeah, I didn't get no blood on me, though. You was domestic violence right there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, I didn't get no blood on me. It was like a, it was a weird, like, I was really just trying to keep her from jumping, man. Has she since tried to reach out to you?
Starting point is 00:13:03 Nah, I hope so, man. Like, please, if you listen to this, man, hit me up. She probably has no idea she got saved by Lecrae. Yo, it was wild. All right, we got more with Lecrae when we come back, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:13:14 The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Lecrae in the building. Charlamagne? You know, that's how I know you're a really decent human being because I was actually listening to Oprah's Super Soul podcast this morning.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah. I forgot who she had on there, but they were talking about how the essence of life, the essence of being human is realizing other people's pain and coming to the aid of others who are in pain. You know what I mean? No matter who the person is, what their background is, what they do, you just saw a human being in pain and you reacted.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Oh, yeah, absolutely. I can't even imagine. I'll just be thinking to myself, because I went through a lot of suicidal feelings and thoughts through 2016, too. Really? Yeah, because, I mean, just all of the, you know, it's the trauma from watching people murdered on television consistently, and then
Starting point is 00:14:07 just so many other things, too. It was a weird year. You got a gun pulled on you by a police officer, too, right? It did. Man, y'all, you got all the details. I would never think that you, of all people, would have suicide thoughts. It seems like you're the closest to God. As much as you read and spit. But I'm a real one,
Starting point is 00:14:23 though, man. I don't mind being real. I think that's the problem is this misconception that like, you know, God's people are these picture perfect folks. You know what I'm saying? If anything, we're the most, we should be the most vulnerable, the most who are like, listen, I know I'm jacked up. I know I need God. I don't claim to have it all together. So for me, you know, it wasn't like I had a knife to my neck, but it was just like,
Starting point is 00:14:43 man, I'm just tired. You know what I'm saying? I'm just tired of all the nonsense. And it's not like I was like, oh, I'm about to do this. Because when you stop and think about like anybody who's ever considered suicide, always think about who's going to find your body. You know what I'm saying? It's going to be your kids. It's going to be, you know, your loved ones, your mama, somebody got is going to face the trauma of seeing your body laying somewhere on the ground. So don't ever, ever like always consider that. But long story short, I just went through so much. And then just all the scrutiny.
Starting point is 00:15:09 And when you start mixing faith and all that stuff into it, it just get real ugly and weird and twisted. I understand what you're saying. Because I remember one point in my life, I thought about suicide. And it was when I was doing youth ministry at Muhammad Mosque No. 38 in Columbia, South Carolina. So I was really trying to be on the righteous path, but then I had a menage a trois with these two chicks.
Starting point is 00:15:29 No, seriously. I got drunk and had a menage a trois with these two chicks. It bothered me so bad. I was like, oh, man. Your identity got shook. My identity, yeah. I'm like, I'm going to hell. I disobeyed God.
Starting point is 00:15:39 So I can see what you're saying. Yeah, your identity got shook. What got you out that dark place? You was talking about that dark place. What got you out of it? Obviously, cliche is God. But I got three really good friends, man. Shout out to BJ, AT, Tadashi, man, who just held me down. And they wasn't trying to fix me.
Starting point is 00:15:53 They just was trying to face me. Everybody be trying to fix you. You know, you're like, man, I'm tired of this. You know, you talking real sideways. You talking outside of your neck, too. And they don't say, you know, brother, you need to, you know, think on the right way. They was just like, I feel you, bro. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:10 I feel you. You know, keep talking. Like, let's keep wrestling through it. It's a day to listen. Yeah. Sometimes that's what we need. And you also feel like in the church, they should have something to do with the politics of everything that's happening today. Oh, yeah. That's really what got it popped off for me was, like, the silence.
Starting point is 00:16:26 And, you know, a lot of people look at me and, like, oh, you love God. So it's the whole, like, and I've had this conversation a million times, but, like, you know, me loving God doesn't make me, you know, a conservative Republican or whatever. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:45 And I think that's the mentality people like, like, stop talking about politics. I'm like, I'm talking about Tamir Rice. That's a person. That ain't politics. You know what I'm saying? Like, what are you talking about? So that's the whole. And the church isn't vocal enough about situations like that, you feel?
Starting point is 00:16:58 I mean, by and large, I think that, you know, a lot of people have been vocal. A lot of people have done a lot of great stuff. You know, shout out to, like, Pastor McKamey in the Bay Area who's been real vocal about a lot of stuff. It's been a lot of vocal people. I'm just saying, you know, it was really folks who, their
Starting point is 00:17:15 faith is connected to patriotism and nationalism. Mine is not. You know what I'm saying? Like, my side. Right. Like, I don't like, God ain't here to save America. He's here to save the world. You know what I'm saying? Like, my side. Nobody's faith should be. Right. Like, I don't, like, God ain't here to save America. He's here to save the world. You know what I'm saying? So that's my whole thing is, like, I'm not anti-American,
Starting point is 00:17:33 but I'm not, like, my faith in patriotism. I don't believe all that type of weird stuff. So that's what got me in a lot of tension. Are there artists you feel like you couldn't work with because your fan base would be like, I can't believe morally that he would do a song with this person. Nah, because I mean,
Starting point is 00:17:49 now I think my fans know me and they know what I'm about. And so they know I'm going to be real. And yeah, I'm a man of God or whatnot, but at the same time, I'm going to be real and I'm going to do what I feel like is necessary artistically.
Starting point is 00:18:03 You know what I'm saying? And so I'll work with anybody. You know, it's just, what are we going to be is necessary artistically. You know what I'm saying? So I'll work with anybody. It's just what are we gonna be talking about? I'm gonna work with anybody and I may just have to jump on a track and put my little spin on it. You know what I'm saying? I don't know how that works. It ain't no rules to it
Starting point is 00:18:17 so to speak. Everybody try to make rules for this but it ain't rules. It's just follow what you believe is right and make good music. Do you think this generation lacks a spiritual foundation? America is so influenced by Western thought, and Western thought is gradually becoming
Starting point is 00:18:33 more like anti-God, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't believe in God. But when you go to the East, God is still a very huge part of their culture. So, you know, you go to Africa, you go to China or whatnot, God is still a big thing. But I feel like, you know, you go to Africa, you go to China, God is still a big thing. But I feel like, you know, we get real arrogant and, like, look at everything we done,
Starting point is 00:18:50 and so we move away. I'm having a conversation with one of my white homeboys the other day. Yeah. We're talking about all of this, the natural disasters and climate change. He's like, look, man, I don't care about the earth. You know, we should be putting this money
Starting point is 00:19:02 into other places, not climate change. And I'm like, you don't care about the earth. so you're basically saying you don't care about god's turf and you don't care about your kids your grandchildren even your legacy when you're from the south yeah we hunt to eat yeah we fish we eat we garden to eat the earth is everything yeah what are you talking about ah the cash this door they think they food come from the grocery store that's a fact you know what i'm saying as long They think they fool come from the grocery store. That's a fact. You know what I'm saying? As long as they don't mess with the grocery store, I'm fine, buddy.

Especially if you always got to treat your wife like she's just a girl that you're constantly trying to court.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Well, it's a complicated story, man. I've been with my wife for about two years. And right now, she cheated on me. She left me for someone. Oh. Oh, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is a different type of shoot you shot. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Your wife left you for somebody, and now you're going to call the radio and try to get her back? Well, see what it is? I work hard. I work 24-7 just to provide for my family. And she felt that the love wasn't there, and she went and cheated on me. She met this guy in the club, and she slept with him. And I've been a prop for her for a few months. I just want her back.
Starting point is 00:21:05 I want my wife back. No, man, you victim blaming. You didn't cause her to sleep with that man. You're no. You out here working hard trying to provide for your family as a man should, and she should have been holding it down. Will you still be there for her? Will you still give her the D for the time?
Starting point is 00:21:19 Don't give that woman out. I gave her everything. I gave her everything that. He about to cry. Boy, if you cry, I will come through this radio and slap fire at you. You better man up on this damn radio. So you gave her everything? Did you give her love and emotion?
Starting point is 00:21:33 The money is always good, but did you give her that love and emotion and that conversation that she needs, that mental? I couldn't give her all of that because I'm working to provide for my family, provide for my kids to be in school. That don't give her permission to cheat. It definitely does not give her permission to cheat. You got to stop blaming yourself. If she wanted to get out, she could have just said she wanted out.
Starting point is 00:21:50 She shouldn't have cheated. Exactly. Did y'all have that conversation? Did she tell you that she didn't? Yeah, and she's been blaming it on me, saying I'm the one that let her. Oh, my God. Stop. He's about to cry.
Starting point is 00:22:01 It's not your fault, bro. It's not your fault, bro. You be strong, man. You might not have been all there, but she shouldn't have cheated, bro. Now what you going to call her and say? I love her. I just want my wife back. I just want my wife back.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Oh, my God. He wants his wife back. Your wife is another woman's, I mean, another man's smut at this moment. Stop, man. That's his wife. No, she left you for another man. She cheated on you. He's trying to work it out, man.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Oh, my God. I can't believe this. Mike, when we come back, we're going to call her on the line. You know, you be strong. You tell her how you feel, and just don't cry. Just be strong because it's not your fault. It's definitely not his fault. I don't even know why you're calling her.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I'll move on. I'll be in the gym right now and getting my weight up and going to find me something else. No, this is his wife. You know, when we come back, we're going to call Kenya. Mike, you good? Yeah, I'm good. All right, hold on. Yo, man, be nice, man.
Starting point is 00:22:50 This is crazy. I'm hurt. But just be nice, man. You don't want to hurt the guy. He's crying. All right, when we come back, we're going to call Kenya. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Shoot Your Shot. Mike is trying to shoot his shot with his wife, Kenya. All right, Mike, it's all up to you. Hello?

Starting point is 00:24:10 Kenya, I'm working to provide for us. It's true. I haven't cheated. I haven't done anything outside of my marriage with a great husband. I miss you. Hello. Hello, Kenya.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Kenya, good morning. Good morning, Kenya. This is D.J. and V. Shalemain from The Breakfast Club. D.J. and V. Shalemain the Godhead. How are you this morning, Kenya? Kenya, you didn't have to cheat on Hello, Kenya. Kenya, good morning. This is DJ Envy. Good morning, Kenya. It's Charlamagne from The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God here. How are you this morning, Kenya? You didn't have to cheat on him, Kenya. Oh, wow. I don't even know what to say right now.
Starting point is 00:24:31 This is very heavy. Kenya, you're blaming him, and you could have spoke to him. You could have said, hey, this is not working. Let's do this. You didn't just have to just cheat on him, Kenya. Kenya, you cheated on Mike, Kenya. Yeah, well, you know what? You cheated on Mike.
Starting point is 00:24:43 I blamed him. I blamed him for cheating. No, don't blame him because your vagina opened up and let another man's penis inside of it. That's not right. That's his fault. How is that his fault? He did not love me the way he should have loved me. He did not love me the way he should have.
Starting point is 00:24:55 He was providing for his family and yes, he didn't come home. He made some mistakes, but not enough where you're just going to leave, cheat on him and divorce him. You could have broke up with him, divorce him. Then go have your way with other penises. You cheated. You know what? You aren't breaching his marriage.
Starting point is 00:25:09 How did I know he wasn't cheating on me with his boss? Oh, now you want to hypothetically have him having sex with his boss now. I mean, listen, listen. You don't know what's going on. Yeah, he got a great promotion at work and all of that, but all he'll do is call, text me, shoot me. Kenya, you are wrong. It's all his fault. Speak up, Mike, you're wrong. Kenya, you are wrong.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Speak up, Kenya. You are wrong. Say something, Mike. Say something. You're wrong, Kenya. Mike, you need to made up, Mike, and stop acting like this. She is wrong. Speak up, Mike. I am not wrong. This is his fault. You wrong is two plus two equals five. Stop it. Whatever. That's why it's wrong, dumbass.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I can't hold my breath. I'm glad you guys think this is funny. It's not. It's not funny. Nothing funny about women cheating. Black men ain't cheated since the 444. And you out here being dirty. Let me do it.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Mike, go ahead. I just want my family back. Oh, my God, Mike. You should have thought about that. All the times you... I felt so lonely. You did not call. You should have thought about that. All the times you, I was, I felt so lonely. You did not call, you never come home for dinner. I mean, you spent all the time at work.
Starting point is 00:26:12 He wants to change that. That wasn't fair to me, it wasn't fair to the family. He doesn't want to lose his family, Kenya, he wants to change that. You want to talk about being fair? It wasn't fair for you to cheat on that man. So Kenya, are you going to give him another shot and don't file for divorce? Just give him another shot, y'all speak it, talk it out, and see if y'all can move on. Mike, give me one reason.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Give me one reason why I should take you back. Because you cheated. Let Mike talk. That's why. Let Mike talk. Because you're my children's mother. I've been with you since I was 18 years old. Mike, stop it, Mike.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Mike, man, please. Mike, I want to slap fire at you so bad with my backhand, Mike. I swear. I just want to take my left knuckle and rub it deep into your temple, Mike, and say if you don't stop this... Y'all been together since eight years old. You are his child's mom. Will you give him an opportunity, a chance?
Starting point is 00:26:56 I really, really wanted a divorce. I mean, this is what, you know, everything within me told me this is what's happening. I mean, all I can say is I'll think about it. No, no, no, no, no. You got to give him a shot. What would Beyonce do?
Starting point is 00:27:09 Write an album about it. But guess what? Beyonce wouldn't be in this situation because Beyonce didn't cheat. The man did. Okay. But in this situation, you Jay-Z. So you need to make a 444 album. I heard you say, I apologize yet.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Kenya. I don't apologize. I don't. It's his fault. That's what it is. Mike, this ain't going to work. He yet, Kenya. I don't apologize. I don't. It's his fault. That's what it is. Mike, this ain't going to work, Mike. He needs to learn how to treat me better. No, you need to take her to court, Mike.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Stop. Divorce. Irreconcilable differences. I'm still a man at the end of the day. I just want to tell you I love you. You ain't no man, Mike. I'm going to tell you that right now. So, Kenya, will you give him a shot?
Starting point is 00:27:42 You got to do better, Mike. You got to do better than this. All right, well, let me ask you a question. Kenya, is you white? With the name Kenya? Excuse me? Are you white? With the name Kenya?
Starting point is 00:27:50 What does that have to do with anything? Nothing. I'm just asking. You white? Oh, God. No, I'm not white. Oh, okay. Just asking.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Well, Kenya, can you give him a shot? Give him a chance. Can y'all just talk it out after this? Maybe call each other, have some lunch, and talk it out? Is that possible? Mike, I want to take a lot later. Yeah, if he has time, if he's not working late, sure. Give me a call, and we'll figure it out.
Starting point is 00:28:11 No, no, no. Not give him a call and figure it out. This weekend, this Friday, y'all go out to dinner, and y'all talk it out. Is that cool? I hope you lose all your edges, Kim. I guess so. All right, Mike. I hope you lose all your edges.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Mike, are you free this Friday? Please say yes. Please say you're not working. Yes, I Kenya. I guess so. All right, Mike. I hope you lose all your edges. Mike, are you free this Friday? Please say yes. Please say you're not working. Yes, I am. Okay, good. All right. Well, good luck, guys. You better than me, Mike.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I want to take a hot lighter and put it on the back of your neck. Please keep us informed of everything that's going on. Whatever. You don't know what I've been through. All right, Kenya. I know you ain't going to have no edges in a couple years. Thank you for giving it a shot and trying, Kenya. God ain't going to let your edges stay flourishing.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Kenya, thank you for trying. You're welcome. Thank you. All right, good luck, guys. Never heard nothing like this in my life. Come on, man. A man get cheated on
Starting point is 00:28:52 and she blaming him? But you're not helping. You made me cheat? He wants to go back. Can you imagine if a man used that excuse? Imagine if I told my wife, you made me cheat.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Dad, that wouldn't go over. It wouldn't even, no. It probably locked me away in a mental institution. Probably. There's something wrong with y'all. Y'all made something for mental illness. Goodness, that wouldn't go over. It wouldn't even. No. It probably locked me away in a mental institution. Probably. There's something wrong with Charlotte. Charlotte made something up for mental illness. Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 00:29:09 That's Shoot Your Shot. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Are you ready? It's time to shoot your shot. Time to shoot your shot. With The Breakfast Club. This is your one chance.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Don't mess it up. Mess it up. Mess it up. Mess it up. What's up, guys? What are you trying to shoot your shot with, Devontae? This girl, Latavia. She works at the pharmacy I go to.
Starting point is 00:29:33 You got to go there to pick up your Valtrex every now and then? Or maybe fix an STD problem? Because I'm letting you know if you got to pick up your Valtrex. I don't think this is a good idea to shoot your shot if she knows what she's giving you. Nah, she's just dope, man. I don't even have a prescription yet. I just go there once a week to get, like, a pack of gum or something. And then you go to the pharmacy register just to go see her?
Starting point is 00:29:52 Yeah. She definitely thinks you have an STD and too scared to get the prescription, bro. I don't know. I don't know. I'm scared to shoot my shot. I was hoping y'all could help me. Why are you scared to shoot your shot, though? Have you ever had a conversation?
Starting point is 00:30:03 Yeah, you know, I get the gum, ask her how her day is doing, what's going on. She's going to this or that concert. Not too heavy, though. Now, question. Do you put the gum in your mouth before you talk to her? You know, I usually get a piece and offer her one. Because if you're talking to her before you put the gum in your mouth, that's probably why she's not interested, because your breath is clearly funky.
Starting point is 00:30:24 No, it's like half and half. Half with gum, half without gum. Okay, okay. All right, well, let's get right into it. I mean, they've only had some brief conversations. All he does is see her when he buys some gum, so I'll be interested to see if she's noticed you. Does she say hi when you walk in? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:38 She's very friendly. Okay. It's got to be a reason that you haven't shot your shot yet other than just nerves. Maybe he's scared. Maybe he got a small wee-wee. I don't know. Damn. I'm sure she could write him a prescription for something.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Just nerves. Okay. All right. Well, let's go. Maybe you need some Xanny's then for anxiety. I don't have a prescription for it. You know where I could get some? All right.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah, the girl. Once you shoot your shot. Hold on. When we come back, we're going to call Lativia. That's her name, right? Latavia? Yeah. Latavia.
Starting point is 00:31:03 All right. Don't move, right? Okay. We'll call Latavia when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:31:10 We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Shoot Your Shot. We have Devontae on the line. Now, Devontae, go ahead. Shoot your shot, man. Make that phone call. Hello? Hey, what's up, Natalia? Who's this?
Starting point is 00:31:34 Devontae from the pharmacy. Devontae from the pharmacy? How'd you get my number? You gave it to me, remember? No, I don't remember. I never gave you mine. Wait, please don't say it. What do you want?
Starting point is 00:31:49 Well, you didn't actually give me your number. You actually gave me your name, and then I searched Facebook, and your number came up. Jesus Christ. Okay, you gotta stop. You did not tell us this part. I'm sorry. Let's have you. We're from the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Hello? Yes, hey, what up? It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne from the breakfast club What the hell is going on We thought that you gave him your number And so he was calling to shoot his shot Cause he has a crush on you He said he comes in there all the time to buy gum

Starting point is 00:32:38 Yeah, it's kind of weird. That's like American type of shit. No, no, no. Not really because Facebook does provide this kind of information, but I do think, I wish we would have asked him, you know, did he get your number beforehand, but yeah. But wait, why is he calling me? I'm not understanding.
Starting point is 00:32:53 He wants to have sex with you. No, no, he wants to take you out on a date. He wants to take you out on a date. Why would I go out? Five billion people on the planet and you think I would go out with this dude? Devontae, speak. No, no, no, no, no, no. Devontae, speak! You have the name of a

Starting point is 00:33:38 for cancer, and this coming every day buying gum? Do you know how creepy that shit is? Okay. First of all, why don't you prescribe him something for his adult acne? Should he go see
Starting point is 00:33:48 a dermatologist? I have a great one. Her name is Dr. Natasha Sandy. I can't believe he is Any last words, Devante? I mean, I don't know why she's being like that. I always offer a piece of gum
Starting point is 00:33:58 when I come here. And that's creepy. I don't think you should tell a guy like this any last words. So it can't be that creepy. And you chew it. And I chew it, really? Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:11 That's enough. You chew it all nice and slow, flirt with me. You know you love me, girl. Yeah, why are you taking the gun from him? Why are you leading him on by taking the gun from him? I've never taken a gun from him. I've never taken a gun from him. He's a liar.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Latavia? Oh, my God. I have a video. I Snapchat liar. Latavia? Oh, my God. I have a video. I Snapchat it. Latavia? What? Yeah. Next time he comes in there, I will call the police, man.

Starting point is 00:34:39 We didn't know. Hey, Devontae, your mother or father was clearly a Jodeci fan, okay? Because they named you Devontae. Are you familiar with Devontae Swing from or father was clearly a Jodeci fan, okay? Because they named you Devontae. Are you familiar with Devontae Swing from Jodeci? Yeah. Okay. He did a Juicy Fruit commercial back in the day, right? Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:34:52 I don't know anything about it. I don't know anything about it. Latavi, I'm sorry. All right, we got to go. We got things to do. I'm sorry. Sorry for me too. Devontae, have a blessed day.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Stop stalking women, okay? All right, I'll see you next week, girl. Oh my goodness. I'm like, God. I'm a little bit sorry. Geesh, alright. Shoot your shot. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 00:35:18 It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil. The Breakfast Club. The day for Tuesday, September 19th 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,
Starting point is 00:35:48 I'm going to say to you, and I'm going to continue to say it to you regardless of how mad you get. But just because you say something doesn't make it the truth. I told her she was whack rapping one time. Yeah. Have y'all ever heard her rap?
Starting point is 00:35:59 Yeah. Okay, good for the people that said no. Well, no. Hold on, hold on. Let's just get this. Little Wade, who co-signed Drake and Nicki Minaj, is the same person who co-signed me. I won a BET award with Young Money. I got songs with French Montana, YG, Ty Dolla $ign, Snoop Dogg.
Starting point is 00:36:15 My God. Told 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 you talking with your hands, dog? You don't know my musical track record, bro.
Starting point is 00:36:30 You don't know my musical track record. Sorry. I can't be so f***ing funny today because he doesn't know my motherf***ing musical track record, so get from me. As record show, people always like to say Wayne found Nikki and Drake, but they always leave out Lil Twist and Tyga. Chanel is hilarious. Bless her little heart.
Starting point is 00:36:48 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. On Loving Hip Hop Hollywood, Chanel West Coast is trying
Starting point is 00:37:03 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 the 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.
Starting point is 00:37:29 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, Young Money. I sat and played all my music for Lil Wayne. And I have songs with French Montana, Snoop, Be Real, Ty Dolla $ign. Hey, go to that track record.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I got a lot of good clubs. Yeah, you could ask them. I met you before. I wasn't as hot. I was in a session with French Montana, you know, and I'm like, yo, we should work. You had your shades on. I don't know, you probably never looked at me,
Starting point is 00:38:00 but I was trying to work with you and play me. You know, I hope the best for you. I trying to work with you and play 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, time. That's why you gotta treat everyone with respect because you never know who's gonna be who, okay?
Starting point is 00:38:17 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 wack.
Starting point is 00:38:33 I don't know 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?
Starting point is 00:38:50 But listen, if Charlamagne is dissing Chanel West Coast, you're just putting me up in the caliber of the mother f***er you're 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.
Starting point is 00:39:05 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 is 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 delusional delusions in this 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.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I would say, Chanel, you fall under the bizarre delusions category. Somebody ask 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 a scar.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Are 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.
Starting point is 00:40:19 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. 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
Starting point is 00:40:36 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, you know? Jesus Christ, man. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. Saha the Prince. What's happening? What's up?
Starting point is 00:41:07 What's going on, man? Now, Saha, I always wanted to know, what did you mean when you said real don't do Breakfast Club interviews? No, real gangsters don't do Breakfast Club interviews. Yeah, because, you know, man, I used to see a lot of artists come up here, man, and be like, don't want to answer the question when you ask them. You know what I mean? Like, they'd be like trying to act all tough, but I'd be like, man, you're an artist, bro. You do what question when you ask them. You know what I mean? They be like trying to act all tough about it. I be like, man, you an artist,
Starting point is 00:41:28 bro. You in an interview. Don't be gangsta. Yeah, and if you a gangster, we don't do no interviews. You should bring your attorney with you. I'm just saying. If that's what we really doing. So it's just like, I be fans of the artists. I be like, they
Starting point is 00:41:43 ain't answer that one. That wasn't nothing. Yeah, you're not being interrogated, it's an interview. Yeah, so it's like, if you really a street dude and you really don't want to come here and talk about your life and what made you an artist and what inspired you, then this ain't the interview. No, this ain't the place for that. Yeah, absolutely. Now, you're a writer
Starting point is 00:41:59 as well as an artist. Yes, sir. You wrote a lot for Kanye West. Yes, sir. Now, like bar the hooks. hooks uh more of everything it's more of just brainstorming yeah like it ain't more so like hey like bow wow and i'm like okay you know what i'm saying like right it's wrapped that like that no it's more so half of the time we just be in there talking about the record. The record, man, Pablo was done probably in like seven days. The whole life of Pablo? He rapped all, at the Jungle Studio,
Starting point is 00:42:30 he rapped 12 verses before the Pablo thing in the Madison Square Garden. Really? He just rapped all 12 of them. It didn't go to sleep. It was just him, Kim, me, and Chance. And we just sat in there and made them rap everything. But we've just been talking about it for two years, though.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Right. We didn't even have the lyrics laid. But we've just been talking about it for two years, though. Right. We didn't even have the lyrics laid. So it was just like, he did 12 records in one week. I mean, like, you know, it might not even have been one week. It might have been like three days. He stayed up like straight. That's amazing. And went straight to Madison Square Garden.
Starting point is 00:42:56 You said Father's Trust My Hands was your favorite. Yeah. That you worked on. Yeah, yeah. I love that record, too. That record's dope, too. Yeah, yeah. So when Cudi came in there, it was just like, man, that's like the Holy Trinity.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I was just in the back like, wow. I'd never seen them work together before, so that was a first for me. How did you meet Ye? Well, he discovered me on the internet. I did a song with a guy named Pill and Yellow Wolf. Pill. My God, Pill. Yeah, so I was my...
Starting point is 00:43:22 Shout out Yellow Wolf. Oh, yeah. Charlamagne. I don't rock with Yellow Wolf. I don't got nothing against him, but I don't rock with him. You, so I was my... Shout out Yellow Wolf. Oh, yeah. Charlamagne. No, Charlamagne. I don't rock with Yellow Wolf. I don't got nothing against him, but I don't rock with him. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:43:29 I just had to find some guys that was like in my lane because in Atlanta it was tough for me to like do what type of music I want to do, so I just kind of got fed up with my situation.
Starting point is 00:43:37 It was like, you know, I'm just going to rap with dudes who rap, even if they ain't that popular or whatever, so we did this record and we did a little,
Starting point is 00:43:44 you know, $1,500 video, and Ye seen it on the internet and just kind of started putting it on his Tumblr. And then a week later, he flew me to Hawaii, and it was just, we've been partners ever since. What era was this of Ye? This was my beautiful dark twist of fantasy.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Okay. Yeah, so that's when I first met him, during that album. I always wondered, were you frustrated like, just trying to put out that solo album, I mean, that debut album? Or was it you being patient and saying, okay, it's not time, it's not time? Well, one thing for me, man, I'm like, I experienced the streets on a sober level.
Starting point is 00:44:14 So I was just happy to not have to go back to the trap. I mean, I would've gave, I would've delivered waters, in turn, you know what I'm saying? Carrie quit me. I wasn't even tripping. So a lot of times that may be my fault because I'm just happy not to have to do what I used to do. So then I understand the fans was, like, you know, very adamant about it. So I definitely wanted to do this for them, too, as well, not just for myself.
Starting point is 00:44:37 But I was never frustrated because I done worked on his last five albums. I'm pretty cool. Did you get paid, though? Absolutely. Okay. Yeah, I definitely got paid. How does he seem like the type to pay his cool. Did you get paid, though? Absolutely. Okay. Yeah, I definitely got paid. How does he seem like the type to pay his auditors? Oh, no, he overly paid.
Starting point is 00:44:49 That's an issue for me, though. Yeah, we've never heard anybody complain. That's an issue. Like, he'd come, like, if he... What does overly pay mean? Okay, all right. A dude walked in the studio with some leather black jeans on.
Starting point is 00:45:01 And his thing's on. And leather black jeans on. That get a part of the song that I help put together no yes bro he if you deliver in waters if you did engineer if you the cameraman if he actually one thing about this song your name is on the record that's why I be so many people all you got to do is be in the brainstorming if If you was in the brainstorm room, you get part of the record. It ain't like everybody wrote on the record. It's just everybody who was in there get pieces of you, the piano player. That's so interesting because you wonder, like, sometimes Kanye seems so narcissistic
Starting point is 00:45:36 and it seems like he has such a big ego and he seems so self-centered that you wouldn't think he'd be such a giving person like that. Yeah, man. Because he already, you know, the sample's already taken up. He got three samples, so that's already going to take a 70%. It's 15, 20 people got to chop up. But that's just how he is. He just, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:45:55 So I appreciate him, you know what I'm saying? Because a lot of times, you know, people don't do that. People don't even recognize nobody, but he overly recognize. I'm talking, if you answering the door, you're asking what's your publishing. Wow. Like, relax. Wow. Now, your first deal was with Akon.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Yeah. Now, how did you hook up with Akon, and what happened with that situation? Well, my first deal was actually with Noonie and Jazzy Faye. I was in a group, but. God damn, that's taking me back with that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got my first deal at like 15. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:24 So, you know what I mean? I was always like one of the best rappers in my opinion. But, yeah, I knew Boo through my partner. Everybody know Boo.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Slew to my guy Boo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's my partner as you talking about. You know what I'm saying? So, I knew Boo through Bocce. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:38 So, I was just a dude. I was just trying to get out of my situation. I was signing some gangsters. You know what I'm saying? And they was just like, okay, you want to get out of this? We need this. So, I'm like, okay. So, I'm trying to figure out of my situation. I was signing some gangsters. You know what I'm saying? And they was just like, okay, you want to get out of this? We need this.
Starting point is 00:46:46 So I'm like, okay. So I'm trying to figure out somebody that'll help me, you know what I mean? You know, give me a check on something. So Boo was like, no, I love this. So I always got a place even though our situation didn't all the way work out because, you know, the Def Jam regime and LA Reads and all that. I just always
Starting point is 00:47:01 appreciated him for just taking a chance to get me out of my situation. I ain't need nothing else from Boo. It didn't kind of go right because once I got to Def Jam, it was like Boo left. Boo and L.A. Reid left in, like, four months after that. So it was like, damn. You just stuck, right? I'm stuck.
Starting point is 00:47:17 But then people know Ye just started f***ing with me. So they was like, okay, we don't want to let him go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm like, nah, this ain't the people who signed me. So Ye was just like, yo, man, come over here and write for me you know i'm saying do this do this and then we'll get you some cachet and then you we can come back and you know get you out of the situation and that's why i'm here today no dope on sundays he was with def jam before good music yeah yeah i was already on def jam it just you know i wasn't making trap records so me and you
Starting point is 00:47:43 know convict was kind of butting heads about that. You from Atlanta. You should be making the bounce, the trap record. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I couldn't listen to rap growing up. I didn't start listening to rap until I was about 15. Yeah, I heard your parents was quick. Was it a religious thing?
Starting point is 00:47:56 Yeah, yeah. I mean, I just grew up in a church, and I was, like, probably bad, more bad than I should have been at that age. So they were just trying to keep it away from me. But I always heard it, like like when I went to skate rink or I went out to the club or whatnot. But my first CD I purchased was
Starting point is 00:48:11 Reasonable Doubt and it was written because this dude from Philly was teaching me how to rap. And I just thought this man was the most prolific. 12-year-old, 13-year-old I ever heard because he used to rap like Nas raps and shit. Say they was his. but it'd be like you know what I'm saying to me I'm trying to out rap him
Starting point is 00:48:28 one time he hit me with how you like me now I go we in the middle of a cypher right and he's killing me he's always he's like telling me I made you I gave you power. I made you buck wild. I'm like, bro, how you gonna do me like that? Turn me on the rap. So about four or five years later, I'm in the car with one of my other New York dudes. I'm in high school now. And I just hear, come on, how you like me now?
Starting point is 00:48:57 I'm like, oh, man, that's my partner record. They're like, boy, you know Nas? I'm like, no, bro. No, bro, this is my partner, bro. All right, we got more with S High the Prince when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Si High the Prince is in the building. Now, you kidnapped Kanye West, and you shot up the Def Jam offices. Boy, that was a song, Elephant in the Room. Let's talk about Elephant in the Room. That's all.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Nah, man. Well, a lot of people don't know, Ye gave me that beat, and we came up with that topic together. Okay. So the thing was, we was about to do, like, this Eminem, Dr. Dre album, and he had some controversies that he was going through. People would, like, keep asking me, like, you know, different things they asking me, and that was, like, the biggest thing.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Like, man, why Ye won't put your arm up? Why Ye won't? And it wasn't ever Ye's fault. It was just, like, Def Jam on a power struggle. So I just decided to write a rap about it because I was just tired of going to the grocery store, tired of going there when people keep asking me, like, bro, ask me something else. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:49:53 So I made a song that I thought actually would cut the air. It was like a parody almost to me because, you know, Meek and Drake was going through their things. I just threw it out there, just like throw it off. That was a diss record from Si. Yeah, that was a diss record from Si yeah that was a diss record like oh okay so I had to really
Starting point is 00:50:07 explain it but nah me and Ye was good he actually had a verse to it and we never finished the actual album so I sit on so many
Starting point is 00:50:14 records I be mad so sometimes I will just let something go that probably wasn't supposed to go so y'all was gonna do a whole project called Elephant in the Room
Starting point is 00:50:21 nah it was gonna be like an Eminem I don't know what the name of it was gonna be but it was gonna be like you know like how, I don't know what the name of it was going to be, but it was going to be like, you know. Like how guilty conscious was. Yeah, who take advice from somebody who slapped D-Wolf,
Starting point is 00:50:29 like, we're going back and forth. Like, man, you ran on stage with, oh, girl, how you going to get me, you know what I mean? So that's how we was just kind of really starting to brew it, but it just never came to fruition. Why not, though? Because, I mean, you know, man, one thing about Bruh, man, he's a free artist, so you can't even rush his greatness in so many senses.
Starting point is 00:50:47 It's like, man, I done seen him come up with some shit last minute that we've been trying to get him to come up with for six months, and it be like, oh, like Famous, the Famous record, that's what he wrote the last day. Really? Yeah. Like, he just, but we've been talking to him like, bro, we got to have it, bro. They got to call him. Like, other just... But we've been talking to him, like, bro, we gotta have it, bro. They gotta call him.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Like, other rap records on the album. Yeah, he'll just... Like, people just don't understand. People think when they see him, they think that he got a bunch of ghost writers. None of that happens without him. Like, all of us could be there, and he ain't there, and it ain't gonna come out like that. Oh, so y'all not writing stuff beforehand and saying, yeah, he's like this. It's like a collaboration.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Everybody's in their room. It's like saying, say, as, as if in, like. Yeah the room. It's like saying, say as, as if in like, or say, say, you know, you're going to jump on the jet this time and take it out of that line.
Starting point is 00:51:31 He's like, okay, yeah, that do kind of go better. Like, it's just like stuff like that. It ain't like, just like I said,
Starting point is 00:51:36 bow wowing. I'm like, right. There you go. He's not, he doesn't care about people knowing he got ghostwriters. I think he's always been
Starting point is 00:51:43 pretty open about it. I don't think he, I don't think he's think he don't look at it as ghostwriting, though. It's like, because you got to think about it. I tell people this. Once you already conquered rap or body rap, you can have ghostwriters. That's to me. Because I go to the Grammys. I'm at the Grammys every year. Adele walk on
Starting point is 00:51:59 stage. It's 15 people who have their witness record. You're going to stay Sam Smith Smith all these other pop artists they got 20 people on stage but in rap it just gotta be
Starting point is 00:52:09 you and the engineer it's like how do you compete with 20 great musical minds and it's just you and the engineer it also benefits the people that are
Starting point is 00:52:17 you know artists that work with you on your label cause they get to make some money cause they're in the room helping you write so now he contributed
Starting point is 00:52:23 to this track he contributed we were having a conversation and now Right. Because they're in the room helping you write. So now he contributed to this track. He contributed. We were having a conversation and now everybody gets paid. Mm-hmm. But back in the day, unless we don't know, those guys were creating
Starting point is 00:52:32 immaculate records, I guess, by theyself. Yeah, yeah. Nas with Illmatic or Jay early on Reasonable Doubt, Biggie, Ready to Die, Wu-Tang.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Like, I don't think they had Ghostwriters. Yeah, but I think, I mean, I'm pretty sure they had some partners in there feeding them. Like, I know Biggs threw Jay a few lines. And I'm sure Wu-Tang, like, I don't think they had Ghost Riders. Yeah, but I think, I mean, I'm pretty sure they had some partners in there feeding them. Like, I know Biggs threw Jay a few lines. And I'm sure Wu-Tang in the studio was like, yo, say this, say that. Like, just even your partner in there smoking, oh, I like that one.
Starting point is 00:52:54 If you don't even react to a line, that might be like, okay, I don't even write that line. My partner didn't react how I wanted him to react. So, you know, a lot of times it's just more so about vibes. It ain't really more so about the actual lyrics. They said that you exposed that Yuzis 2 was ready and you put the playlist on Spotify. What happened with that? No, I don't know what that is. I thought that was something that, first of all, I thought somebody hacked my computer.
Starting point is 00:53:20 So I'm over here getting all this good. Don't hit us with the you got hacked. Man, no, for real. That's a story you're sticking with. Nah, I'm saying that's why I was nervous, but I think it's a playlist that I was about to put up for my album that kind of is going to massage you to
Starting point is 00:53:33 get my album. You just happened to title stuff from Yeezus too. I ain't even that computer savvy. I'm just going to keep it all the way there. I'm still pencil and pen, so I don't know how I got up there. We're trying to figure that out now. I'm just making sure my stuff all with them. I'm still pencil and pen. So I don't know how I got up there. We trying to figure that out now. I was just making sure my stuff,
Starting point is 00:53:48 because I do have those type of records on my computer. If the story is correct, I remember that for the first season's album, when Ye bought Rick Rubin in, they said it was like six records he cut off the album that he was going to use for the sequel. And you just happened to put up six records. I mean, I might have about 20 of them, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Where your computer right now? I mean, it's stashed away, you know what I'm saying? But I'm just saying, like, six is selling me short. Right. So I know that ain't me. I'm interested in that Elephant in the Room project, man, because I want to know what Kanye was venting about on that. Yeah, I mean, that, man, he was just talking about a lot.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Like, you know me, I don't really be knowing the folks he be talking about. I mean, Elon Musk and Phoebe Follett. I'm from Atlanta, bro. I know black people, really. I don't really know all the, you know what I mean, England designers, no disrespect. But he be going in on me about, you know, this motherfucker whoopty whoop told me I can't have it. You're like, who is that? I'm like, who the hell, boy? Let's make I'm a God.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Well, we got these headphones for you right here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You are a rapper. Everybody who don't know if Side High The Prince can really rap, he ain't even talking about it. He wrote for Ye. Oh, yeah, nah.
