What happened?
It sounded like you was stuck.
Truth, listen.
Listen, two weeks ago, I was shooting some videos on a Friday night.
I came back out to Yonkers.
It was like 3 in the morning.
I ended up falling asleep at the light.
I woke up to somebody banging on my window.
Woke me up.
I was like, yo, yo, you drunk, you drunk.
Tell him.
I'm like, yo, bro, I'm not drunk.
I'm literally tired. Homie called the cops on me. Wow. Waiting for the cops, yo, you drunk, you drunk. Tell him, I'm like, yo, bro, I'm not drunk. I'm literally tired.
Homie called the cops on me.
Wow.
Waiting for the cops,
waiting for the cops to get there.
Cops pulled up.
Homie stole on me
and was holding the door
so I couldn't get out
until the cops came out.
What?
Listen, I need y'all
to put it out there.
Whoever the dude is,
I don't know,
he from Yonkers.
Tell him to meet me
by Getty Square
at 3 o'clock today.
We can s***.
He's not going to meet you there.
He's probably drunk right now, so he's definitely not going to meet you there.
Damn, man.
I'm going to find him.
I told him.
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.
I think it is a crime to be drunk in your car.
I don't know.
I'm just asking.
I think so.
Get it off your chest.

You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Cassley.
Yes.
Hey, get it off your chest, mama.
I was calling this morning just to say that I feel blessed, actually.
I'm not trying to get anything off my chest, just an impulsive vibe.
Last week, I recently quit my job of 10 years,
and that same day, I got another job.
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.

Thank you.
Hello, who's this?
It's Rob.
Rob, get it off your chest.
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?
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.
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?
Are you hungry this morning? Are you hungry?
Yeah, I stood up for the
anvil. Okay, cool. Well, if you're hungry, eat a d**k.
Okay.
I wouldn't invite another man to this gender tizzy, Mike. Like it. Okay, cool. Well, if you're hungry, eat a d***. Okay. I wouldn't invite another man than this gentleman.
He might like it.

Hey, man, I'm blessed today.
I just had a kid a month ago, and I'm just feeling blessed, man.
All right.
Well, congratulations, bro.
Thank you, man.
Thank you.
Have a good one.
All right, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
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.
Lecrae.
What's happening?
What's up, my brother?
Y'all got it.
I'm just trying to enjoy the vibe.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
I'm tripping, man.
They don't know all things work together.
Come on, talk that talk.

That's kind of sexy, though. That's kind of sexy.
Especially if you always got to treat your wife like she's just a girl that you're constantly trying to court.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Hey, Kenya.
Mike, how are you? First of Mike, how are you?
I'm just...
First of all, how are you doing?
I don't know.
I'm a bit emotional.
I mean, part of me is really angry.
Part of me is a little scared.
I'm just...
It's just a lot.
A lot.
Kenya, I just...
I want you back. Please don't go through with I just I want you back please
don't go through with this divorce
I love you
I want my kids I want my family
I'm sorry
now you cry right now you cry
what about all those nights
you coming home late
you never called you never text
I mean like you could have just checked in, you know?
You miss me.
You miss your kids.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
Oh my god
The dude that buys gum
I don't even put his change in his hand
Like I put it on the
Oh my god
He's the creepiest Why is he Like, I put it on the... Oh, my God. He is the creepiest.
Uh-oh.
Why is he calling me?
I don't understand why he's calling me.
He's still on the phone.
He can hear you.
He can hear you.
He's here.
Oh, my God.
At this point, I don't even care because you're talking about you looked up my number on Facebook?
That's weird.
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.
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
member of the Judas League.
You know, I just want to take you out on a date
and then have sex with you. Oh my goodness.
What? He keeping
it 100 though, okay?
Well, let me keep it 100.
Devontae has adult acne.
I can't even get past that.
We're not even doing it like that.
Are you kidding me?
Alright, Devontae.
He's trying to
figure me out.
No, Devontae, please.
And let me tell you, I'm giving out medicine
for diabetes, for HIV,
for cancer, 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
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
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.
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.
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.
He's creepy as hell.
Yeah, Latavia, you might need to get a rich man.
Are y'all helping him?
No, I'm not.
I didn't know.
We didn't know.
I'm sorry.
We didn't know.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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...
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?
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.
It was like,
you know,
I'm just going to rap
with dudes who rap,
even if they ain't that popular
or whatever,
so we did this record
and we did a little,
you know,
$1,500 video,
and Ye seen it on the internet and just
kind of started putting it on his Tumblr.
And then a week later, he flew me to Hawaii, and it was
just, we've been partners ever since.
What era was this of Ye?
This was my beautiful dark twist of fantasy.
Okay. Yeah, so that's when I first met him,
during that album. I always wondered, were you frustrated
like, just trying to put out that solo album,
I mean, that debut album? Or was
it you being patient and saying, okay, it's not
time, it's not time? Well, one
thing for me, man, I'm like, I experienced
the streets on a sober level.
So I was just happy
to not have to go back to the trap.
I 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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
you and the engineer
it's like how do you
compete with 20
great musical minds
and it's just you
and the engineer
it also benefits
the people that are
you know 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
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
immaculate records,
I guess, by theyself.
Yeah, yeah.
Nas with Illmatic
or Jay early on
Reasonable Doubt,
Biggie, Ready to Die,
Wu-Tang.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
Who is this guy?
We don't know him.
All right, tell me when you ready.
I won't do too many blunts.
I apologize.
Here we go.
Let go.
Ho.
Say hi to Prince.
No dope on Sundays.
Yes.
Can you hear me?
Okay.
Huh.
I bought this Rollie because I could never force.
I had dreams of me being on the Forbes list.
In the fortress.
With so much drugs in that bitch
You gotta move it with a forklift
I always say my grace before my forklift
This for a fifth on my waist I go to war with
Or if a n***a try to take away the Lord's gift of man
Talking world peace, don't hit the fan
Rappers out here fake beef and where's Bits with man
I never threw a rock and didn't hit my hand
Y'all should come cast this sh** cause I'm in demand, every flow is uncut, dope, I wrapped it in saran, haha, let's go, uh, okay,
yeah, I say, mind of an outlaw, I'm a diamond without flaws, I doubt y'all ever heard of
with a south draw, that can outbar anybody in this town, dog, I say that comfortable is out,
sharper than a town hall, huh, I run the underground. I'm the ground hog.
Neil Armstrong waiting on my
downfall. They shooting shots, pootie
tanking with the bounce off. Oh, I'm out the window
Uzi hanging, shooting southpaw.
Even your fans can catch it. That's a foul
ball. You don't want to see them guys pull up
with them golf clubs. Nine or the four
iron, it's a toss up. Scary
do drive-bys. They do walk-ups.
How you talk tough to a $2 state?
Ahead of my time, y'all didn't know I was two hours late
Huh, you suckers better move out the way
Cause on my birthday, I wish a n**** would
Then I blew out the cake
Celebration, toast to the good life
Huh, cause I can die tonight
Knock on wood twice as the kush light
I walk around like I'm Bush White
I try to stay down to earth, but I done took flight
Just like an old school Chevelle, I got hood stripes. You could tell a lot about a bitch by how she cook rice.
Wish I would, Mike. Let her charm me for this good pipe. What I look like?
This bitch must have mistook my kindness for weakness, silence for meekness.
Sleepless nights, trying not to die in the street. Baby girl, I don't mean to be facetious.
I cut a bitch off at the gym if I see fit
But on some G, I still get your weed fix
She wanna be up under my arm, but I'm tryna speed stick
Enough about these chicken heads, fuck them like I'm 3'6
When the weed lit, these rappers is in some deep
Can't keep a secret, but wanna sneak this
Bullet size of Jolly Ranchers thinking I'm a sweet lit
Upgraded from an AMG to a V
More horses than the finish line at the Preakness
I used to break them down, make sure it's remix
Then serve it up the street from Eastwick
I was the lord of rap way before I toured the map
I got too much to lose, I can't afford to trap
The FBI got me bugged, even my water tapped
Now I'm done with these
There you go

55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.

No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
