What you guys are doing right now is the hub culture. The Breakfast Club is my morning sit. I need it and I love it so much. I feel like you're really not popping until you do the Breakfast Club. I've been waiting to come to y'all's show, man. I know you got to be a big-time celebrity to be up in here.

You got to be big-time. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne the God. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Break the f*** out. Good morning, USA. Your voice is still gone. It's still gone, man. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. is still gone. It's still gone, man. Good morning, Angelique. Good morning, DJ Envy. It's Thursday.

Oh, my goodness. Yeah. You sound a mess. I got to get it together. You know, I got to warm my voice up. You need some tea. No, I'm not drinking that tea again, man. After I warm my voice up 15, 20 minutes, it usually does me pretty good.

What's going on, Ye? Nothing. How are you feeling? I am great. I've been running around. My goddaughter's been staying with me this week, so it's a lot of activity trying to make sure that she's entertained. Now, how old is she? She's 17?

She's going to college this year. You don't know her age, then? She's either 17 or 18. How old is she? She's going to college. You don't know her age. Well, I mean, it's either 17 or 18. She's 17 or 18. Okay. Well, if she ain't doing nothing, make her hang out with Madison. You know, Madison is 17. She'll be 18 in another two months, she can make a hangout with Madison. You know, Madison is 17.

She'll be 18 in another two months, and she got a car, and they riding around and just chill. They can ride around and get it? They riding around and get it. Yeah, I feel bad, because she's been coming with me everywhere to work, and yesterday was a full, jam-packed day.

Then she was exhausted by the time it was like 8 o'clock. Oh, okay. That's good. And then I'm like, you know, we got to get up early again in the morning. She's here again? Yeah. Oh my goodness. What? Oh, you're really working her then. She's really working. This ain't no vacation

where she's chilling. She's working. Yeah, today's a full day as well. So what did you do yesterday? I did absolutely positively nothing. My son is in football. Football started for him, so taking him to practice. My daughter's in swimming, so taking her to swimming. My other daughter's in piano, so taking her to piano. So it's just daddy daycare.

Okay. That's what it's been, daddy daycare. But it's fun. I enjoy it. I enjoy seeing my kids have fun. Like, my son loves school now, so it's good. He loves getting up. He loves going to camp.

He loves learning. He loves education, so that's great. You talking about Logan? Yeah, Logan. Logan looks like he could whip your ass. I know. I've been back in the gym just because of that, because I was like, if he tests me right now, he might be able to get a two-piece off. But I was like, nah.

You got to stop getting in the pool with your shirt on. It's a swim shirt. It's what they use. Because I feel like, don't take a picture then. But you can't keep getting in the water with your shirt on. It's a swim shirt. It looks like a black t-shirt. I go scuba diving.

And after I go scuba diving, I take pictures. It's a swim shirt. What's wrong with wearing a swim shirt? It protects you when you're swimming in the ocean. Protects you from what? All the karma. You're the only one that had a shirt on. I'm the only one that's protection. It's just kind of, it's like when Jay-Z rides a jet ski and he wears a helmet.

Does anybody say, why is Jay wearing a helmet? He wants to protect his health. Yes, they did. Oh. Well, I don't blame him. He wants to protect himself. And I want to protect myself. Is that okay with you? Yeah, I was just asking the question. It looks like a t-shirt. No, it's not a't blame him. He wants to protect himself. And I want to protect myself. Is that okay with you? Yeah, I was just asking the question. It looks like a t-shirt. No, it's not a t-shirt. It's a swim shirt.

All right. It sticks to the body, so when you swim and you don't get hurt by the coral and stuff. Can't a t-shirt do the same thing? A t-shirt will not stick to the body, and it's different. Totally different. You're not going to body shame me. I don't have my summer body ready. I'm not body shaming you.

I'm just saying. I'm getting my winter body ready. Leave me alone. All right. Dapper Dan will be joining us this morning. Maybe don't have my summer body ready. I'm not body shaming you. I'm getting my winter body ready. Leave me alone. Alright. Dapper Dan will be joining us this morning. Maybe he can make you a swim shirt. A Gucci swim shirt. Gucci swim shirt. So we'll kick it with Dapper Dan. Of course, Dapper Dan is a Harlem OG legend.

Fashion icon. Stylist. Icon. I know you've seen him. So we'll kick it with Dapper Dan a little bit. And happy birthday to Lil' Kim. Today's Lil' Kim's birthday. Yeah. That's your best Kim impersonation? I wanted you to do the next line. Nope.

Definitely not doing that. Let's get the show cracking. Front page news is what we talking about. Well, let's talk about New Orleans because New Orleans is in a state of emergency right now. We just left. I know. We did. Damn it, man.

All right. So we'll start that with that. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Get your ass up. E.J. M.V. Angela Yee So we'll start that with that. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Get your ass up. E.J.

M.V. Angela Yee. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Where is Charlamagne? You know, he said he doesn't start until 6.06. So he's officially a minute late. Okay.

He's on his new time. I don't know. Let's get into some front page news. Where we starting? Well, if you're excited for Prime Day, it could be some issues because some Amazon warehouse workers are planning to strike next week. And that is one of the largest sales events of the year for Amazon.

So if you're trying to get some items, I don't know what's going to happen, but they're saying that the work conditions at the fulfillment centers for Amazon are pretty bad. Really? Yeah. Most people that work at Amazon say they love it and they get all type of stock options.

They love where they work. Well, these are people who work in a warehouse, love it. And they get all type of stock options. They love where they work. Well, these people work in a warehouse. So I don't know if they have different work conditions. And you can imagine with Prime Day how much pressure there is for that. To get those one-day shipping out to Prime customers. Absolutely. They said there's a lot of pressure on that particular day. Okay.

Yeah. All right. Now let's talk about ICE. They said that there's going to be some raids happening. And that is going to start on ICE. They said that there's going to be some raids happening and that is going to start on Sunday. They said that's absolutely going to happen. There's approximately a million people in the country with removal orders. And ICE, they said, is going to start removing people and arresting and deporting families for court ordered removal. So let me ask you a question. Why are they telling them? Well, they're going to inform people that they're going to do raids on Sunday? Because if I knew I was here legally, Sunday I would be out of here. I would be in a different address, a different place.

Are you going to tell me you're going to raid? I don't know, but that's a scary thing if you're here and you haven't gotten your paperwork together. Correct. To know that you could be deported if you've been here since you were young. You know, so I don't know what's going to happen. And you know what else is bad? Sometimes they stop people that really are citizens and they get detained as well.

So imagine they just come up to you and they want to see your paperwork and what if you don't have it on you? Did I tell you the story when I came back from the DR and they thought I was trying to sneak in and they pulled me to the side and they were talking Spanish to me and I was like, I don't speak Spanish. I'm American. I'm English. I'm not Spanish. And they kept doing it for like 30 minutes.

And they really thought I was sneaking something in. You never told us this story before. And it was going through my bags. They took the soles out of my sneakers. They thought I was sneaking in drugs. It was crazy. And I bet you were really upset about it. I was attitude new like a mo' effa.

So imagine how many people are going to be upset about that. Hey, Charlemagne. Now, I'm sure you saw this on the news, but an armored truck door flew open in Atlanta. And people were scrambling to get that money. It was about $175,000, they estimate, that ended up flying out of the truck. Now, cops want you to know that it's still theft. It's against the law to steal.

It is against the law. So they said some people are returning the money, but a bunch of vehicles did stop. Would you stop? I don't see how that's considered stealing. It's not yours. I think that's finders keepers. No, it's not yours.

If an armored truck is driving, and the stupid person that protects the armored truck didn think that's finders keepers. No, it's not yours. If an armored truck is driving and the stupid person that protects the armored truck didn't lock the door and the money falls out, then it belongs to the people. No, the stupid thing

is why are people taping it? Like, why are you taping it and showing everybody picking up the money in yourself? Like, that is dumb. The same reason we

tape everything. Like, that is dumb. Like, because if there was no film, you couldn't arrest anybody. So if you grabbed that money, would

you return it? Me? Yeah, knowing that you could be on camera somewhere. If I knew I wasn't on camera, there's... You don't know that. Shouldn't they provide a reward for returning it? There you go. They should provide a reward for returning it.

There you go. All right, now millions of people are under a flood risk. As you know, I'm sure you've seen the video from New Orleans. And like you said, we were just there. So more than 4 million people are under flash flood watches from Louisiana to Florida. And they're saying if these winds reach 39 miles per hour, it can be a tropical storm, Tropical Storm Barry. And it could intensify into a Category 1 hurricane that could happen by late tomorrow.

So it looks pretty bad in New Orleans from the video footage that we've seen. And like you said, it was just Essence Festival. There's a lot of activity going on out there. So really bad situation. These storms ain't no joke. I heard about something called a microburst. There was one in my hometown of Moncks Corner a couple weeks ago, and they thought it was a tornado, but it's not.

So it's like heavy winds, heavy rain, but it has the power of a tornado. So it tore roofs off and stuff, ruined a couple of businesses. I never even heard of that before. Well, potentially the worst is yet to come, like you said, because if this intensifies into a hurricane, and they're saying there could be 10 to 15 inches of rain within 24 hours between Friday and Saturday right now in Louisiana, there is a state of emergency.

Wow. All right. Well, pray for New Orleans, man. All right. Well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent.

Hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, horrible night, or maybe you feel blessed and you want to spread some positivity. 800-585-1051. Hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help. We still have the off-road portion to go.

as a kid i really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest,

whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Ms. Parker calling from Cleveland, Ohio. What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Well, this is Ms. Parker calling from Cleveland, Ohio. Hey, Ms. Parker.

I'm sorry, Ms. Parker. Hey, Ms. Parker. All right. Yeah, good morning. As always, I first give honor to God and thank him for his many blessings and thank him for allowing us to wake up this morning, another chance to walk in his way. Amen. Yes, sir.

Yes, ma'am. I have to say thank you all for allowing me to speak to you all. I appreciate you all. It's great. The one thing I got to say is the frequency here in Cleveland is terrible. It's static on the radios around here. Like, they don't like y'all station or something. Like, they're trying to hate on y'all. Y'all need to work it out.

Probably the transmitter, sir. I'm not a sir, Charlamagne. I can't understand. I'm a female, but that's alright. My voice might be deeper than yours. Don't worry about it. Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to disrespect you. Girl, I get you. Now you're getting in on the joke.

See what I'm saying? We out here doing things out here. Y'all need to come down to Cleveland and see what we doing out here. I got to tell y'all, we love y'all. It's real nice to see y'all doing what y'all doing. And I'm proud of all y'all. And I thank y'all for letting me be on the radio this morning. Y'all have a blessed day.

I got to get to work. All right. So y'all have a good day. You have a great day as well. Love you too, my brother. Miss. Hello, who's this? Hello.

Hey, what's up, bro? Hey, this is Steven. Calling from Georgia. Just got back to work. I had a family reunion this weekend, so I'm feeling really good. Glad to see my people. I want to say positive vibes to everybody.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Positive vibes. That was a lot. Yes, and not those positive vibes. Hello, who's this? Jessica, good morning.

Hey, Jessica, get it off your chest. Okay, so y'all was just talking about the race that ISIS came ready to do. You know, in a sense, if they wanted to pick you up and you wasn't Mexican, that's racial profile. And another way to snatch yourself from being a person of color is they really want to go there. Your phone sound crazy.

We didn't hear a word that you said, mama. I heard her. Oh, you heard her? Yeah, she's saying it's racial profiling with ICE going to pick people up if they just think you're Mexican and they think you're here illegally. Okay, ye. They don't just pick you up because they think you're Mexican, though. They pick you up because they've done some type of background check that says you're here illegally. But they do raids.

So it's hard to know. They're not just doing raids on random places. They're doing raids on people where they think, they do raids on places where they think illegal immigrants are. And then they have to stop everybody because I'm sure it's all mixed together. They're doing more research than that. Yes, ma'am. People are everywhere. All different colors.

Everywhere. So, you know, you'll be talking about it next week. Watch. Hold on. So you think the ICE immigrants are just running up in random places and throwing brown people on the ground? That's what you think? You mean the ICE agents? I'm saying that they are going to come after

illegal immigrants, but I would not be surprised if other minorities are afflicted by this as well. It gives them a lot of power and authority to stop anybody. No. I love you guys. I listen to y'all every morning as soon as I get up.

Represent the fire shifters. Well, we love you back. All right. Y'all have a good day. You too. Hazel. Yes. Hi, DJ Envy.

Hey, Hazel. Get it off your chest. Hey. And also, Angelique. I love you, Angelique. Hey, Hazel. Get it off your chest. Hey. And also, Angelique. I love you, Angelique. I love you. You represent so well. Love you, too, bro.

I watch every day on Revolt before I go to work. But I wanted to talk about Charlamagne for a minute. I appreciate the fact that you want to do the Black Men Don't Cheat and you want to break that stigma. But I also need you to be on time because we have CP time stigma where they call it color people time because we're always late. Why are you always late? I need you to be on time with that same energy. Well, let's talk about CP time.

And black people don't keep to be on time. Let's talk about CP time. You know what CP stands for? Charlamagne's paperwork. And in my paperwork, it says that I can get here at 6.05. I understand you like that, but I need you to get... I hate that stigma on black people that we're always late. And you are always late.

Angelique is there. Even when she's over the phone or remote, she's on time. So, Charlamagne... Oh, you ain't gonna say I'm here? You know what I hate, Queen? I did 100 miles an hour to get here on time. Queen, listen, I'm gonna tell you what I hate. I hate when black people don't listen.

My contract says 6.05. How many times do I got to tell you all this? Well, you got here at 6.06, so it was a minute late. I was a minute late today. You were a minute late? Yes. You can tell me that if you want. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest.

James, James, James. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, my name is James. Hey, what's up, James? Get it off your chest, man. I'm just feeling real blessed today for some reason. I just got a really good job and just got approved

for my first mortgage. Congratulations, man. Yeah, that's amazing. Congratulations. What a great feeling. Where you from? I mean, Aiken, South Carolina.

Okay. Well, congratulations, man. Yeah, this time last year I was never up for a full mortgage. I've been working hard and it finally happened for me, so I'm happy.

Well, take your time. Find a home that you love and congrats, man. Enjoy it. Thank you. Thank you. All righty, bro. Well, take your time. Find a home that you love, and congrats, man. Enjoy it. Thank you. Thank you. All righty, bro. Hello, who's this?

Anthony. Anthony, you got a joke for us this morning? That's what you're calling for? Yeah, I got a joke. I think I'm pretty sure you and Charlamagne would appreciate this. Nope. I'm not even going to laugh because you think I'm going to laugh. Good morning, Charlamagne.

What's the joke? Go ahead, bro. Good morning, Anthony. What sound does a gay refrigerator make? What sound does a gay refrigerator make? What sound does a gay refrigerator make? Okay, I like this one already. I don't know where the punchline's going, but it sounds good. I don't know what.

Talk to me. It farts when you take the meat out of it. It farts when you take the meat out of it? Yeah. What? I don't get it. That was kind of cool. That was awful.

Great setup. Terrible punchline. Sorry, man. Great setup, though. I was all intrigued. What sound does a gay refrigerator make? Wow. Yeah.

Tony, get it off your chest. Man, play some Lil' Kim, man. That's all I really got to say. It's her birthday. Show some love. That's really all I got to say. Play Gone Delirious, too, because that's my favorite. Dropping a clues box to Lil' Kim.

We wish Lil' Kim happy birthday first thing this morning, but we definitely will this morning. Shout out to Lil' Kim. Happy birthday to Kim. I dig it, because, you know, we do not play. Who does not play? The Beehive. What are you talking about, Charlamagne?

You already know. The Beehive? Beyonce's Beehive is no joke. Shut the f*** up. Damn. Why you mad at Beyonce's Beehive? It's all cool. We know the difference and she know the difference.

Okay. What? Geesh, I think that was a threat, man. Goodness gracious. You can't even say that on the radio. Hello, who's this? What's going on? It's Rich Fatherhood.

Good morning, Angela Yee. Hey. What up, what up? What's happening, my brother? Get it off your chest. Hey, cool. Man, I want to spread a little positivity this morning, man. For all the single parents out there, man, I know it's a struggle.

Y'all keep it in the road. Hold it down. Hold your head, man. All the single parents out there, man, check out my brand a struggle. Y'all keep it in the road. Hold it down. Hold your head, man. All the single parents out there, man. Check out my brand, Rich Fatherhood, on Instagram and Twitter. All right, bro. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Ignacio from Houston. What's up, bro?

Get it off your chest. Yo, man, just calling in, you know what I'm saying? What's up to everybody? But really, to get off my chest, man, I just moved in my new apartment last week and me and my roommate, man, we trying to scramble for like the past three, four, like three days to come up with like $1,200, man. F*** crazy.

Wait, $1,200? I'll pray for you, bro. I thought you were going to say pay for you. No, I said I'll pray. I was like, that's nice. I'll pray. Man, man, you talking about praying? I've been praying each and every day, man.

What you been doing? Miracle, something. How you been doing? Miracles, something. How you been trying to get the money, though, besides the miracles? He said praying. That's how. Besides the miracles, you know, I got my roommate, my friends been helping me out. But really, just being a hustler and stuff, just getting out here in the streets, trying to figure it out, trying to, you know, ask your family members. You got a job, bro?

You have a job? There's a thing. I had a job, but they laid me off. They laid me off at the wrong time, man. Damn. Well, you also, you got to remember, faith without works is dead. So it's good that you're praying, but you're actually going out there to put in the work to make some money.

And also remember that God may not come when you call, but he's always on time. All right? Also remember that you have to be patient. Patience is a virtue. Give me some more cliches to make them feel better, because I'm not giving them no money. All right? I told him I prayed for him. Al, what's up, Al? Hey, what's going on?

DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. What up, King? Yep, she is. I just wanted to say, man, I saw that interview last night, man, with you and Don Lemon, man. It kind of seemed like they was using you as a tool just to sway votes away from Joe Biden. I don't care

what people use me as because that's my true opinion on Joe Biden. If you did your research on Joe Biden, you would have that opinion too, my brother. Matter of fact, I want you to go look up a good, it's a good New York magazine article and the headline is black people love Joe Biden

but will they still love him once they know his record? You should read that. See, the Republicans are using that because they know that Trump does not want to run against Biden. They'd rather have him run against somebody that's less electable. Let me ask you a question. The only reason you feel like everybody else is less electable is because the media is telling you that. Have you done any research to any of the other candidates, whether it's Senator Harris, whether it's Elizabeth Warren, whether it's Bernie Sanders?

No, you haven't. You only say it's less electable because the media tells you that. Donald Trump didn't win the election to begin with. Why do we keep acting like there wasn't Russian interference? Why do we keep acting like Hillary Clinton didn't have more than four million in the popular vote? You said what? You said what? He said you're doing the Russians' work for him. He said you're doing the Russians' work for him this time.

They did it to Hillary Clinton, and that's how she lost. I mean, that's a fact. So let me ask you a question. I should just ignore a lot of the racist things that Joe Biden has done. That's what you're telling me to do. Your opinion is your opinion, and, you know, honestly, I agree with it, but I think, man, Trump is... What?

All right. I can't. Your opinion is your opinion, but I agree with you. If you agree with it, then why are you arguing with me? Oh, my goodness. Listen, stop letting white media tell you who's electable and who's not electable and do your own damn research, please. And by the way, never once have I said I would not vote for Joe Biden

if Joe Biden became the nominee. All I'm saying is that he has a record that needs to be questioned. What's wrong with that? All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now, Yee, we got rumors on the way?

Yeah, since today is Lil' Kim's birthday, let's start off talking about Lil' Kim. She was supposed to do a bunch of press and canceled everything. We'll tell you why. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them.

With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, let's go over the Forbes list of the 100 highest paid entertainers. Now, y'all know who number one is on the list, whether or not you like her. Who's that? And this woman right here, she had the highest grossing tour ever. Taylor Swift. Yep. It grossed over $266 million.

that several of the fraudulent social media posts could not be attributed to him and did not constitute fraud. But, however, the judge did say the case can go forward. That's because Ja Rule tweeted out the day before a fire was supposed to begin, the stage is set. In less than 24 hours, the first annual fire festival begins. Hashtag Festival Life.

No. Now, Lamar Odom has unfortunately been kicked out of the Big Three League. They made that announcement. For what? Why are you laughing? For what is he kicked out for? Well, I guess he just wasn't ready. They wanted to maximize competition, and unfortunately, you I guess he just wasn't ready. They wanted to maximize competition and

unfortunately, you know, he just wasn't ready. He was out of shape. Yeah, it's been a tough road. You know how to be in shape to play in the Big 3? Yes. Oh, okay.

And they also said that Baron Davis, Jermaine O'Neal and Bonzi Wells are deactivated for the remainder of the season. They kicked him out too? I saw Baron Davis say he wasn't playing no more.

Why? I don't know. He just said he's no longer playing in the Big 3. I saw him post that on Instagram. Those players take it seriously. Well, they should. It's a real game.

They act like they're in the NBA. If you're not really ready, ready, ready, they take it in serious. Yeah, it's not a joke. And you can get injured. Absolutely. Or injure somebody else if you're not ready. I didn't even realize it. Today is the seven-year anniversary of the Can I Get It Drop.

That was Lil' Kim's birthday. Yes, he did it on her birthday, allegedly. Round of applause to the Can I Get a Drop guys. A lot of people that don't know what's going on. When he just joined in the Breakfast Club, I was walking into the building one day, and somebody rolled up on me with a camera, and they asked me for a drop, and I didn't give them the drop, and then somebody punched me in the back of my head, and then I took off running, and then I looked behind me, and it was three or four guys,

so I ran a little faster. He ran pretty fast. So what does it have to do with Lil' Kim? Because it happened on her birthday. Pay attention. It happened on her birthday. And if you listen to the video, somebody in the video says, say something about Lil' Kim again.

Yeah, but you couldn't make it out. So it was a birthday present for Lil' Kim, and she deserved it. Oh, okay. But we're all in a great place now. Shout out to Kim. That's right. Wow. Happens like that sometimes.

You can't just go around saying what you want to say about people and then expect not to get repercussions and consequences. That's why I don't respect a lot of the media personalities. They just run in their mouth, but then they be behind their cameras. But when you're outside, you might get punched in the face. Once or twice. That's it. It happens to the best of us. Happened to Charlamagne twice.

The second guy Charlamagne held his own. No, no, no. Don't say I held his own. Say what I did. Washed his ass. Alright, you whooped his ass. Left him own. Say what I did. Washed his ass. All right. You washed his ass. Left him bleeding. Left him bleeding. He was knocked out for about five minutes. That's right.

Let's not act like it didn't go down. It did go down. But I'm not a tough guy at all. I was surprised. I just wanted to defend myself. I walked into that bodega. The guy was still sleeping. I said, go ahead, Charlamagne.

That's right. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. Then he got up, and me and Charlamagne ran, because we didn't know if he had a gun or not. I didn't know if he had a gun or not. I saw him come back with that bloody mouth. I said, okay, I think he's going to come back and shoot. Charlie was like, let's go, let's go.

It's time to get out of here. All right. We got to write a book or do a movie or something. I wrote two already. About the Breakfast Club. We got a documentary coming next year, 10-year anniversary. Trust me, I got this. All right, all right, all right.

Well, Front Page News is next. What are we talking about? We are going to talk about these floods, this flooding that's been happening due to these storms in Louisiana. All right. And also, Dapper Dan will be joining us next hour. So we'll kick it with Dapper Dan. Harlem legend. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting with, Yee? Well, let's talk about these ice raids that are set to happen. Now, according to immigration officials, they about these ICE raids that are set to happen.

Now, according to immigration officials, they said that ICE raids are absolutely going to happen and they're supposed to start on Sunday. So they said there's about a million people in the country with removal orders and that isn't what ICE will go after in this. That's the pool of people who have been all the way through the due process chain. And so I don't know what's going to happen, but I know it's very scary for a lot of people that are trying to just perhaps stay in this country and haven't gone through the process they're supposed to. Sometimes the paperwork is messed up,

but there's a lot of people that get detained that aren't supposed to be. They did an investigation, and they said that more than 1,480 people were in custody, and then they were released after investigating claims they were U.S. citizens. And some people end up being detained for months or even years while they have to prove their identity. And that's the thing.

You don't know if you're getting investigated. You don't know if you've been identified. You don't know if you've been identified correctly. Right. Right. So it's a scary thing. All right. Now, millions of people are under a flood risk as there is a tropical storm

and that could actually intensify into a Category 1 hurricane. That could happen by late tomorrow. So right now, the Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said begin preparing your property, your supplies, your lines of communication to your family members. Begin preparing to know exactly where you need to go if you need to evacuate. In Louisiana, they have already declared a state of emergency and they have asked for residents to have a contingency plan for family and for pets. They said about 10 to 15 inches of rain could fall within 24 hours between Friday and Saturday. And there's also a huge conference. I know a lot of women went down there.

I'm not sure if it was for the Deltas or AKAs. I think it was the Deltas. They said it was one of the biggest conferences down there, so a lot of women touched down there on Monday. So just be careful and be safe, man. We're always praying for New Orleans, Louisiana. All right. Now, this happened in Atlanta.

An armored truck door flew open, and there were hundreds of thousands of dollars on the highway. They said about $175,000. That's what authorities believe ended up flying out. And, of course, if you went out to take that money, because who wouldn't want to run out and grab some free money? It's a lot of temptation. They said that is theft. So if you don't return that money, then you are perhaps going to be charged with a felony or a misdemeanor

depending on how much money you did take. So cops have said that people are returning the money. They said, we understand it was a bizarre occurrence, but do the right thing and return that money. I don't like that, because I feel like that's a way to kind of like lock up poor people. You know what I'm saying? Seriously, because if you're in need of some money and you see a truck fly open with some money,

you're going to rush to grab that money. I'm sure some rich people went and ran out and grabbed that money too. It's not just poor people that went and grabbed that money. I'm just saying, who do you think is going to first... If you're driving, are you going to stop to grab the money? I think anybody probably would. Yes, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

I wouldn't, but I'm sure there's some people in need. First instinct is to stop and grab the money. I think anybody probably would. I wouldn't. I wouldn't, but I'm sure there's some people in need. First instinct is to stop and grab the money. No. I see some nice cars stopping for people to grab that money. People will grab money anyway.

I just think that's a way to lock people up for no reason. You shouldn't be arrested. That shouldn't be considered theft. What would you do if it was money falling from the sky?

It flew out of an armored truck. You can see the truck, so you already know. I don't care. That ain't my problem. But if you don't want to go to jail, just return the money. What if it wasn't an armored truck? And how do they know how much you took?

Because you could take $10,000 back and return $200. I don't know how there's any way to even really know. There's no way. What if it wasn't an armored truck? What if it was a regular vehicle? And money just was flying out? Then you grabbed it. I'd be like, excuse me, sir.

Your truck's open and money flew out. Yeah. Here it is. Yeah. I believe in karma. All right's open and money flew out. Yeah. Here it is. Yeah. I believe in karma. All right. Well, that is your... That might be your blessing.

What if you was... What if you're that guy that called up here this morning praying for, you know, your rent money. You're right. And then you're driving, and then all of a sudden, $2,000 just slaps you on the windshield. Like, I was praying for this.

And not for nothing, nobody really loses. They have insurance, so an insurance company will take care of it. And most of us pay insurance for years and never get into a problem. So it's kind of a cycle. If somebody lost their wallet and there was $2,000 inside, let's say, would you return it? That's different.

They have their ID and everything. And say their ID's not in there. That's a totally different scenario than what we're talking about. That's different. Armature is a business. Some people might be like, that's a blessing. I just found $2,000. People don't have personal insurance on their wallet.

And not if somebody's ID is in there and you know exactly who it is. Like, no. And I want to say a salute to a brother named Supreme. He's in the tombs right now. He's locked up. He's Miss Anita's nephew. Okay. Okay, and I know that you aren't in the most ideal circumstances,

but you have people like Miss Anita praying for you, and she is a prayer warrior. So when you get home, you better make your people proud, Supreme, okay? Supreme in the tombs. All right. Yes. All right, now, when we come back, Dapper Dan will be joining us, the OG, the legend, a fashion icon.

He's known for so many different things. If you go back into history and you see some of your favorite artists wearing those Gucci outfits, those Louis Vuitton outfits, them MCM outfits, nine times out of ten, Dapper Dan created it or had something to do with it. So we'll talk to Dapper Dan when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart?

Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of, like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water

of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with

a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,

learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best

and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts pj mv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest in the building one of the flyersest people I know. Yes, indeed. OG legend Dapper Dan. Welcome. Let me tell you something, man.

Your book is amazing, but it's going to make an even better movie. Amazing, man. I look around. I came in here and looked around, man. First thing that came to my mind was Juicy. Never thought hip-hop would take this far. Wow. When I started out, Andre Harrell had a little office in Brooklyn.

And Puffy was like an intern there. To see where this has come today, man, is amazing. Where we are. People say that about you. And without even knowing your whole entire story, and this book really details a lot of things that we didn't know about the legend of Dapper Dan. Yeah, I can't believe you're alive, my brother.

I can't either. How did you survive New York in the 70s and 80s? You know, I just like kept switching lanes, man. A sad thing that happened like when, what happened with Nipsey, I learned early on that a lot of young guys

don't know. The streets will implode on you if you don't understand them. You cannot be in it and not of it. Yeah. When you walk away from the streets, you got to break clean. All right. You got to break clean.

You just can't have no contact. You got to reflect for a while. And so that's what happened to me. They tried to kidnap me. Got shot. Still got the bullet in my neck, you know? Why don't we start from the beginning? Because a lot of people might not know.

They hear the name Dapper Dan. They see the face, but they don't know what you've done so how did you get started we was like so poor you know I mean we used to steal food from supermarkets man it was just have holes in our shoes that whole experience man set the stage for how we would think the major difference came when 1967. Me and all my brothers got busted selling drugs and on June 19th, 1967, I got out September 27th, 1967, and one of the brothers in there who was locked up with me is one of

the alleged shooters that killed Malcolm. And I saw the respect that he had, man. I said, I might go back to jail again, but I'm never going back like this as a drug dealer. So I walked away from 1967. I went back to high school at 23 years old. And I needed to find out who I was.

They let you back in high school at 23? At 23. Street academies. It was a three-part program. You go there to the street academy. Go from street academy, academy and transition. Then you get a scholarship to go to prep school. And then you get a scholarship to go to college.

So it was like a seven-year process of me leaving the street before I came back. But the serious thing that changed my mind the most, like, is four day boys, and I'm the youngest, right? And we all got busted, and we're in jail at the same time. They called me out the bullpen, and then they pulled me back in. I'm like 19, 20, right? So when I got back in the cell, I asked my brother, I said, what was that? He said, that's the snitch behind the door that's telling on us.

And I come to find out the guy who told on us was the guy who told us how to hustle. And I told my brothers from that moment on, I said, I'm done with that. Hold on, you said the guy that killed my brother? Yeah, that's the one who... He maintains his innocence, though, right? He said he didn't... Alleged, yeah. One, yeah.

But you said he got respect in jail? Crazy respect. Why? At that time, Nation Islam was really powerful, and with a lot of elements in the street, Malcolm was considered a traitor. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You follow what I'm saying?

We're talking 1968. Right. Martin Luther King was considered a coon in Uncle Tom. What changed the trajectory of how your generation thinks about them is what they did after that when they both went global

how did the drug game help and hurt the business of Dapper Dan um the crack epidemic created a cash flow in the street middle class blacks would not buy from me the most revolutionary element that you flow in the street. Middle-class blacks would not buy from me. The most revolutionary element that you found in the street that didn't care about what people think was the gangsters.

As long as it looked nice, they would buy it. And you have to remember, I was doing luxury goods, so they was the only one that had the money that could spend on what I was doing. When you started doing the clothing, and it was on all the artists and all the celebrities and the drug dealers, and they sent that cease and desist and shut your store down,

how did you survive after that? Well, here's what I did. At the height of my business, I had gangsters coming from all over the country. So when they shut me down and I went underground, I would make clothes in the underground and hit every black city from New York to Chicago

because all the gangsters, I knew all the key gangsters in them cities so it wasn't no problem. And that's how I sustained myself for 20 years, man. But now, when I went to Africa, I saw a lot of different things. At one time, I thought I had it. How did that change you? You went in 68, right? How old were you then?

68 was like, oh, 23. And you went to Ghana. No, I went to Ghana, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt. Damn. Liberia, Nigeria. We just did, we just lived with families. It was a living. So what'd you learn from that trip?

Oh, man. There's certain things I learned from that trip that's instrumental in helping me to do what I'm doing now. And let me talk about that. When I was staying in Kenya, J McKenna was the president then. But one of the most important things that he did that I learned from that trip is that even today, the economy is controlled by people from outside, basically Indians, right? So what Joe McKenna did, he said, every business here has to have an indigenous Kenyan as a partner. And then after five years, he said, every business here has to have an indigenous Kenyan as a partner.

And then after five years, he said, OK, y'all cannot be in this sector of business. Now, in contrast to that, we was in Uganda. And remember, Idi Amin took over in Uganda. And when Idi Amin took over in Uganda, he kicked out all the Indians and the economy collapsed. So when you look at how we make progress, we make progress through how we learn. But we have to get inside to learn, which is important to my relationship with Gucci, right? When you see my relationship with Gucci, I learned from Jomo Kenyatta that we have to be inside. We have to make sure we learn about the dynamics of these businesses so we can later run these businesses,

and these businesses will be able to sustain themselves. Okay, when they ran me underground and all the black brands came about, they all collapsed. Why we don't have no black brands today? Because we didn't get inside. We didn't understand what it meant to be inside. So you got to be in these fashion houses to learn how to build. Exactly.

All right, we got more with Dapper Dan. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have OG legend Dapper Dan in the building.

Charlamagne? So what are some of the mistakes that the black brands made? The mistake we made is none of the brands was a luxury brand. None of the black brands? Yeah all the black brands. None of them was a luxury brand. But how do we create luxury though? Luxury only becomes comes from the value that we put on it right? Good good question. No no no luxury comes from us having the money to buy luxury. That's the only way we can get luxury right? But we don't we don't generate that kind of money here. Now with my my partnership with Gucci, I'm selling out in Japan. I'm selling out in Asia.

I'm selling out in all those places where our culture is very powerful. So if we want a luxury brand, we have to have a distribution that's powerful enough that we can get our brand in those countries. But what about all those drug dealers or rappers or whoever can afford, they can afford the fashion, the high fashion stuff, so why can't the black stuff have the same type of value? No, there's not enough of them. He's trying to be international. He's talking about around the world. I'm talking international now.

And distribution even to get into those locations in other countries. Exactly. I'm just trying to figure out why we put more value on that stuff than we do our own stuff. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Well, that's an individual choice, but I'm not going after what we buy. I'm going after, this is what our market, who we are,

is our culture. I'm not going to argue with black people in Harlem or in the United States about whether you want to buy luxury or not or put your money in there. No. If our culture is so powerful and it's selling around the world, and somebody else is selling it, I want to get to where they're selling it at. Do you follow me?

These major brands, there's no secret. When you look around, who are the influencers? We are the influencers. Our culture. Right? And our ability to influence is going all around the world. I'm not concentrating on just getting this black money here. Why I can't get that global money if I got that global culture going on?

You're right, but with your voice, right, don't you think you could have made a Sean John, a Fat Farm, or any black brand just as cool and popping as you did the Gucci's and the Louis's? Because that was only cool because dudes in the hood was wearing it. But you don't understand what I'm saying. Malcolm thought global. You understand what I'm saying? Martin thought global. You understand what I'm saying? Martin thought global. I'm thinking global.

I'm not thinking about this head. They cater to right here. I don't want to do that. He's saying this is an established brand already. I want to go global. So go into the established global brand, learn from that, and then you can establish your own global brand. Well, Malcolm and Martin weren't global brands. They were brands that

were started right here in America. But once they got their foothold, like I got my foothold, then you go global. You can't go global until you get a foothold. They had a foothold. But did you get your foothold through the streets? Yeah, I got my foothold through the streets. So once you get your foothold through the streets, then you had the potential to take any of those brands

global. Because you're deafening. Yeah, but I didn't have the distribution or the money. If we had a sustainable economy among people of color black people that can support a luxury brand i wouldn't i wouldn't have to be here i think the problem is i think we make hot and we like what other people can't have right so it's like that's why a lot of us buy gucci buy louis vuitton buy chanel buy those things because it's things right? So it's like, that's why a lot of us buy Gucci, buy Louis Vuitton, buy Chanel, buy those things because it's things that's limited. It's not too much of it. And, but we do that

with places where a lot of times don't necessarily want to f*** with us. You know, we go into these stores, they still follow us around the stores. A lot of times, we're the ones that's buying it and making it hot. Gucci, Louis, and all that, you're the one that, you are the one that made it hot.

And you know what? A garment bag where the world wanted to wear it when they took it and Gucci recreated an outfit that you did years ago. Exactly. He's saying, why don't we create our own brands where we don't have to ask Louis for anything.

We could have made any black brand just as powerful as we made it. You know what? If we start out right now, start from the bottom, like you're telling these young people to start from the bottom and build your brand, by that time, hip-hop done morphed into another cultural brand. We got Asians that do hip-hop and do breakdances like us.

So once our culture, because of cultural inertia, once it circles the planet, we only get a certain amount of time. And it's speeding up. Social media is speeding it up. So our base is our culture. And if we don't get a chance to take advantage of our culture right away, then we have to wait until the next cultural revolution. You're sitting right up in here. I saw this before it was happening.

This ain't going to go on forever. You're going to have to transform into the next stage. And while you transform it, and these other guys are starting from the bottom. Do you understand what I'm saying? Okay, look. Look at the brands. When the black brands came out, they didn't have the knowledge that they needed to grow. But hip-hop did.

So hip-hop kept growing, and they stood still and died. We can't have that happen again. So how do we keep that from happening again? Y'all had to get, everybody in music had to get with a major distributor. What's the difference? What's the difference between a musical major distributor and somebody

over here getting a clothing distributor until we popped? They made billions and gave us scraps. Until we figured it out and then created our own lanes. And that's what we're doing again. But I think the difference is. And that's exactly the point. We've got to step in and figure it out.

But you got in to figure it out. I agree with you. But I think the one fundamental difference will always be that we'll always look at the Gucci's, the Louis's, the Fendi's as more value than anything that a black designer creates. Because we give it that. We think white ice is cold.

We give it that. People love off-white now and that's doing really well at a Pierre Moss and I think there's brands by black designers that are on the rise. Yeah, but we still

applauded Virgil Moore when he got with whatever company he worked with, Louis Vuitton. But he got that because of off-white. Yeah, but we still applaud that move more than when he got with whatever company he worked with. Louis Vuitton. But he got that because of Off-White. Yeah, but we still applaud that move more than we applaud a black guy owning this brand, Off-White. What black guy owns a big brand?

He's the only one I know. Do he own that? Oh, I don't know. We need to do our homework. This is the kind of questions we need to ask. We need to ask, do we own this? Don't let me go into false bias. We need to ask, do we own this?

My brother, let's talk about it. I'm going to let y'all do your own. We need to know who owns what. First of all, once we do the homework, then we can have intelligent conversations. I don't want to call people out. I want to switch gears a little bit. You did get sued by several major designers,

and this is way before the social media era. How did they know you were doing what you were doing? Because of the hip-hop artists. First the doing? Because of the hip-hop artists, you know? First the gangsters, then the hip-hop artists, you know? Gangsters go to every major event. People see them popping up. Let me tell you a funny thing, right? Monica, LL Cool J's stylist, you know,

and she used to go get loans from clothes from down in Gucci, right? And Monica went down to Gucci to get a loan from them, and everybody down in the Gucci store at this time, way back in the early 90s, and they're asking, they say people just keep coming in here asking for outfits that they see rappers with that Dabba Dabba made thinking that we got them.

So it spreads through that way, you know? And that was considered counterfeiting. That's how the shop got shut down? I don't like the word counterfeiting. I get that, but I'm saying using their logo. Trademark infringement. It's trademark infringement. I don't consider that's what I do.

I didn't do knockoffs. Like I told you, I do knockoffs. All right, we got more with Dapper Dan when we come back. You know he's a Harlem legend, so let's get into a Harlem mini-mix. Dapper Dan is here. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Harlem mini-mix.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Harlem mini mix. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have OG Dapper Dan in the building. How did Gucci reach out to you? How did they finally reach out to you? Because, I mean, you know, social media went crazy when they seen your design that they put out. How did they reach out to you and say, hey, we're going to work with you?

Good question. Let me tell you what I did, right? Because you know I'm skeptical. I grew up in a generation that we don't trust nobody. When they first reached out to me, you know I'm skeptical. I grew up in a generation that we don't trust nobody. When they first reached out to me, you know, as a result of the coat, you know the coat,

the famous coat, right? A number of influential influencers was calling and stuff like that, right? And my son, Jelani, said, Dad, you really need to talk to them.

I said, don't. He said, they serious, right? I said, okay. If they serious, tell them to come to our Brownstone and home. And they came. And so now, what do I have to do now? Now I have to find out what is their mindset. They were focused on cultural inclusivity even before this happened. When people appropriate our culture, they make mistakes.

So my approach to them was like, you got to have us in the room. We got to be a part of this so things like this, they don't happen. So when they reached out to me, let me tell you what was the convincing thing. It's two stories. The first story is like, Alexandro, the lead designer, the head designer for Gucci. He said, listen, I didn't mean to copy you. I was paying homage to you. I just didn't say it in the beginning,

but I thought everybody knew that if I did this here, they would know it was yours. He said, I didn't pay homage to you. But this is an interesting thing, and nobody's talking about it. The same time, now, you got to look at how this is developing. When Supreme did the relationship with Louis Vuitton and they had the runway show, they issued a letter for everybody who was at that show on the chair that they would have to sit in

so they have to pick that letter up and say this whole collection is inspired by Dapper Dan. And nobody said nothing. Really? So Supreme came into existence to recreate what I was doing, but just letting everybody know so they don't get in trouble. Does that still make it legal? Huh?

Just because they let everybody know, that makes it okay? No, that don't make it okay. Okay, okay. You know, it just makes it so the publications that deal with that kind of information, it doesn't make news.

Okay. Everybody knows. You got you, got you. You know what I'm saying? It don't make news. But when you do it and you don't say something, that makes news. So there's nothing financial right here. Yeah, yeah, you. You know what I'm saying? So there's nothing financial. But when you do it and you don't say something, it becomes a big deal.

That makes no sense. So there's nothing financial. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? There's nothing financial that comes with that. But to me, it's both the same.

Right. You follow what I'm saying? Because it's appropriation. But now, here. So Gucci comes and they says, everybody's paying homage to Dapper Dan, but nobody's paying him.

Right. True. We're going to change that. We're going to allow you to do what you've always done in Harlem, and we're going to do a partnership

on the line, on the Dapper Dan line, like the stuff he did in the 80s, and you get a percentage of that globally. I could never get that. Where could I get that at?

That's my foothold. Now, if you don't see me doing something in the years ahead with my grandson and my sons and building, you can say Dabba Dabba was a deadbeat. But this is it. I don't look to get no credit for what's going on now.

Well, how do you feel now that you're in the door, you're in the meeting with the bigwigs and making a difference and bringing us in, and now a lot of people, rappers in a lot of communities are saying, no, we can't wear Gucci anymore. Yeah, thank you. I'm glad you bring no, we can't wear Gucci anymore. Yeah. Thank you. I'm glad you bring that up.

Oh, wait a minute. They're not saying that for no reason. They're saying that because they feel like they're saying that because they don't understand. Well, no, they're saying that because they think Gucci created a product that is blackface. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. Don't tell me there's any organization in the world that don't have a number of people who are not racist. Right. So forget that part. Let's look at the part where what can we get out of this?

This would be the first boycott people of color, black people have ever had in America that we get zero results. Well, what did Gucci do to fix it? Because, you know, we said we implemented a whole plan. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, we have a change makers program. I wish everybody go online and just see what they implement. But this is what we should be doing. Right. We have a Changemakers program. I wish everybody would go online and just see what they implement. But this is what we should be doing, right? Look at the Changemaker program. See if it's something you agree with. And if you agree with it, we're going to run with this and keep running with it.

And then you know what we're going to do next? We're taking it to the rest of the brands. Now, not 50 years from now. We're taking it to the rest of the brands now. I want to ask you a direct question about that. You've been talking about it a little bit more, but why do you think we value these high-end fashion designers like the Gucci's and whoever else more than we do black, browns,

and what can we do to change that? We got a bigger problem than that, man. But I'll address that too. What you say, what should we do to change that, presupposes that it needs to be changed. When you say, what should we do to change that, presupposes that it needs to be changed. When you say change, you mean the element of aspiration that makes us want to get expensive things? Is that what you're talking about? Or you're just saying walk away from these expensive brands?

What do you mean by that? I'm not saying walk away. I'm saying that it can be some Gucci shades that you're wearing right now on the table, and it could be some shades by a black designer that look the same, same quality, same material, same everything, and the person will pick the Gucci. A black person. Why is that? How do we put the value on our stuff? It's what I call the pimp program.

You know what I'm saying? When you see a pimp, he all dressed up. He's more attractive. You know, people want what they can't get. So you're saying black people are hoes? No, I ain't saying black. I'm saying the mentality associated with luxury, with aspiration, has to do with things that people can't afford.

That's what I'm talking about. So my question is how do we get that kind of value for the thing? You got to make something compatible to that that gets the respect of that. It takes time to get the integrity and the respect of that it takes time to uh get the integrity and respect for a brand do you think people would wear dapper dance stuff if it wasn't attached to any designer label like if you just had the material absolutely absolutely absolutely and i wish i wish that i could go global because i it's not sustainable for here now let me ask you with a lot of the stuff that you design for Gucci,

that you put out for Gucci, a lot of that stuff was more expensive than regular Gucci. When I seen a lot of that stuff, I almost felt like it was outpriced for our people. You go into a store, and let's say a regular Gucci jacket is $2,500. Yours was $6,000. And you did see a lot of Asians wearing it, and you did see a lot of people that wasn't us buying more of it,

even though we loved it and we wanted to support. It was outpriced. You don't need... Let me... I don't want to knock my own self, but listen to this, man. I want to sell to them people with all that money, man. You can have me. I take the train every day, the bus every day,

stand on the corner every day. You got full access to me, man. Let's get this money. If I can bring all that money back, all mine going in Harlem. You want me to bring the price down so we can afford it and we don't get that money? What's the logical thing? I just want us to put value on our own.

That's all. It's bigger than what we see, man. And we got to encourage people of color to study our culture, study the trajectory. You know, because now this hip-hop thing, man, I just saw all jazz, Afro-Cuban music, reggae music. I saw all these platforms. Each platform, we get an opportunity. If you don't get money off that platform, then cultural inertia takes place.

Other people start dancing like us, start acting like us, and then that's it. We don't become influencers once they start doing what we're doing in their environment. You understand what I'm saying? No, we'll always be the influencers. They'll always copy us. You don't. They're always going to copy us. We're always going to be the originators.

Go back. I want you to go online and look at the Beatles documentary. At least I like. And all the Beatles did was steal from black artists. That's what I'm talking about. And they was more successful with it. That's a different conversation. You said that they're going to end up being the influencers.

That's impossible. We're always going to be the influencers. They might make more money than us. That's what I'm talking about. Okay, all right. That's what I'm talking about. What good is it being an influencer if you ain't getting nothing? If you ain't getting no money,

you can't support your community. Yeah. So Gucci has done what it's supposed to do, and they have done some changes in their company to make sure we should never have a problem like the turtleneck thing that they've done before. No, let me tell you something. Don't take Dabba Dan's word for it.

Don't take nobody's word for it. Please, go online, look at the changes they're making, and then if you're happy with the changes, let the world know you're happy. Do your own investigation. That's what I did. My reputation is on the line here. And I said they're hiring

like a diversity and inclusion person too? Yes, yes. Well, make sure you pick up this book. It's a great read, man. And I just wanted to know, is the end goal

to have Dapper Dan be a brand on its own? That's the end goal? Yes, that's coming. That's on the way. Well, we'll keep supporting you, brother. And thank you for coming up here. And drink some water, man.

You're breathing hard as hell. Y'all got me all f***ed up. They say, man, when you can look at the Breakfast Club, man, they serve you more than breakfast up in there, man. Make sure your game is right, boy.

They're going to f*** you up, boy. At breakfast, you might be reflecting. They don't f*** you up, boy. At breakfast, you might be regretful. They might put you on the plate. You might end up on the plate, boy. It's the Breakfast Club of the Morning. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee

on the Breakfast Club. Well, are you ready for the 9th Annual OVO Fest? No? Yeah. Well, let me give you the rundown of what's going on. Now, there's going to be a concert on Sunday, August 4th and August 5th. And the first night, Sunday, August 4th,

is going to feature some throwbacks for you. It's going to have B2K, Mario, Pretty Ricky, Lloyd, Ying Yang Twins, Chingy, and Bobby V. All in the stage. And then on Monday, yeah, pretty much. And then on Monday, it's going to be just Drake. So you can imagine that he's going to have some very special guests in the building as well.

I know you're looking at that lineup and you'd be like, man, why would he have this lineup? Do you know that women love that? Like, you got these girls that are in their 20s who grew up off all of those artists who get so excited over the Millennium Tour. The Tour sold out. Yeah? The Millennium Tour sold out.

But how they gonna do that? Is Amarion and what's the other one, Lil Fizz cool? Because isn't Amarion's baby mama, ex-wife, is dating Lil Fizz now? They've been on tour for the past six months, haven't they? But I think that just happened, ain't it? Yeah, she's openly dating him now. We don't know behind the scenes if they've had that discussion. I'm just saying.

Tell me more. My man, my best friend in my group ain't gonna't know behind the scenes if they've had that discussion. I'm just saying. Tell me more. My man's my best friend, and my group ain't going to be knocking on my ex-wife, my baby mama. I'm glad you up on the latest B2K news. Thank you for keeping us all informed, Envy. You know what? All right. I don't know how serious. I thought you got paid the big bucks.

Now, John, I'm going to need you to pull up this audio of April Jones, because I don't know how serious their relationship is since Envy brought it up, because you're talking about April Jones, and she has two children with Omarion. She said this. What's going on with you and Rachel? Nothing. I haven't seen her for three years. She's really a good friend of mine.

People speculate that we've had sex. But we haven't. Not yet. That's her and Ryan Henry on Black Ink Chicago. Who's Ryan Henry? He's the owner in Black Ink Chicago. He's been up here before on the Breakfast of the Tattoo Artist. What's up, Ryan?

So she knocking on Ryan? No, she said not yet. I don't know. I'm confused, man. Go ahead, girl. You confused me. Tell me more. And she's been on Instagram Live.

You confused me. Telling a lot of business. But all right. So that's going to be happening if you guys want to go to OVO Fest. There's also an OVO Summit. That's going to be August 1st and 2nd. And OVO Bounce. That's July 29th to AugustVO Fest. There's also an OVO Summit that's going to be August 1st and 2nd and OVO Bounce. That's July 29th to August 2nd.

So if anybody wants to go, tickets do go on sale starting tomorrow. Alright, the nation's first black billionaire. You know who that is? The nation's first black billionaire? BET founder Robert Johnson. Yes. Now here's what he had to say about Democrats and about Donald Trump when he was questioned on CNBC.

So African-American unemployment is at its lowest level, Hispanic unemployment, women. So I give President Trump a lot of credit for moving the economy in a positive direction that's benefiting a large number of Americans. You got to give the president an A plus for that. What's the problem? Now, he also said he has no particular favorites among the current Democratic crop of presidential hopefuls. Well, now, the problem is, you know, Donald Trump has been pushing this whole, you know, black unemployment is at its lowest right now. So just to echo what some other people have said, Latasha Brown, who's a co-founder of Black Voters Matter, said Bob Johnson is not working class. He does not reflect the issue, nor does he even seem like he has the ability to speak to the issues of the working class. For him to make a statement

that the Trump tax break has been helpful for black people, where has he been? Under a rock. There's all kinds of reports that have come out that this tax benefit disproportionately benefited the wealthy and not the working class in and of itself. To make that statement says to me that he's simply out of touch. And even though black unemployment also still remains the highest in the nation among racial groups and almost twice that of the national rate overall i'm confused because unemployment they say is at historic lows black unemployment is at six percent six percent the economy added i think 224 000 jobs last month the stock market is up so it's a lot of people that are trump's approval rating is actually at 44 because people

like what he's doing with the economy. So I don't understand why they mad at Bob Johnson for talking about factual things that are actually out there. And he also said that he thinks that the Democrats have just gone too far to the left. So Joe Biden said that this weekend too. He said everybody needs to just come back to the center. Your hero, Joe Biden, your savior

was on CNN this weekend and said the exact same thing verbatim. Who's hero? Everybody that's listening. Black people love Joe Biden. You can't speak for all black people and say that is not true. Am I the only person that looks at the polls? I thought Kamala Harris was catching up to Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is still leading by a significant amount. Amongst black people? Yes. From what I've been reading, it felt like he was taking a hit as of late. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Shout out to Mike. Yes, sir.

Who you giving that donkey to? Let's talk farts for after the hour, baby. All right? You here for some flatulence? Okay. Anybody out there got a little ass gas? You got some? No, I don't fart in my clothes.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, June 11th, goes to a man in Missouri who is trying to hide from the police. You know, hiding from the police is a difficult task. I've never been good at it, but I've never been good at hide-and-seek, period. I've always been the run-from-police type more than the hide-from-the-police type. Or I've been the, you got me? I surrender to the police type, okay?

I remember the first drug bust I was ever involved in, they had a bunch of us in handcuffs on the ground, but one of my guys was in the closet, and when that canine came in and started sniffing around the house, he was good for about five minutes. And then all you heard was, that's it. And that dog tore his ass up and dragged him out that closet. Now, that's usually how people get sniffed out by canines.

But in Missouri, this suspect who, for whatever reason, they aren't releasing his name, He got his ass up and dragged him out that closet. Now, that's usually how people get sniffed out by canines. But in Missouri, this suspect, who for whatever reason they aren't releasing his name, he got sniffed out a different way by police. Let's go to KERO ABC 23 for the report, please. Police officers in Missouri were able to sniff out a suspect who was wanted for a warrant out of Clay County. This is too much. Okay, the Clay County Sheriff's office posted on facebook saying if you've got a felony warrant for your arrest the cops are looking for you and you have to pass

gas so loud it gives up your hiding spot you're definitely having a poop emoji day i have empathy for this man uh the reason i have empathy for this man. The reason I have empathy for this man is because there's nothing worse than when you think a fart is going to be silent, but then all you hear is anal acoustics, all right? You know, the seconds of awkwardness after a loud booty cough happens are nerve-wracking. Have you ever been in a conversation with a group of people and think to yourself, I have to fart? In your mind, you think it's going to be a silence of the yams, but instead, you let out a butt cheek squeak.

Then at that moment, you don't know if you should acknowledge it or keep talking because in your mind, everyone was making so much noise that maybe, just maybe, they didn't hear it. Trust me, fam. We all heard it. We just didn't say anything because we know that could be us in that situation.

Well, not me because I don't fart in my clothes. Never have, never will. Now, if you're wondering why this guy even was hiding from the police, it was because he was wanted for a controlled substance. All right, imagine being wanted for a controlled substance but not being able to control the substance that's primarily nitrogen that comes out of your ass. All right?

Clay County Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook, we've got to give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff them out. Clay County Sheriff's Office also wrote on Facebook, if you've got a felony warrant for your arrest, the cops are looking for you and if you pass gas so loud it gives up your hiding spot, you're definitely

having a poop emoji day. Yes, they really used the poop emoji. I don't know why they are protecting this guy's identity. We need to know the man who got arrested. This is history. Okay, this is history, people. This should be in the Guinness Book of World Records because usually it's somebody snitching on your ass.

This is the first time where your ass snitched on you. Please give young Flatulence from the jury the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's fleece. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. All right. So you don't...

All right. So you don't... All right. Okay. All right. So you don't fart in your pants? He always says that. The facts show otherwise. You never fart in your pants? I don't fart in my clothes. You're lying, man. Don't tell me I'm a liar. Okay. You never fart in your pants? I don't fart in my clothes.

You're lying, man. Don't tell me I'm a liar. Okay. You never fart in your pants? I don't fart in my clothes. Would you like to monitor my butt for 24 hours and see if I fart in my clothes? I'll pass. You want to stay close to my butt for 24 hours?

So when you got to pass gas, like say right now you got to pass gas, right? You run to the bathroom and pull out your pants? Yeah. Pretty much. When you drive in your car and you got a pass gas in your car. You think if I don't fart in my car, you think I'm going to fart in my car? So what do you do?

You pull over? Maybe I don't fart as much as you. Maybe I'm not as flat as you. Okay? All right. All right. All right. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee right now. Call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? My name is Butler. Your name is Butler. What's your name? Oh my gosh.

Butler. Oh, Butler. Okay. Alright, Butler. What's your question for Yee, Butler? I'm saying this woman that her mouth is it doesn't stink. Her breath doesn't stink, but it doesn't taste sweet. You know what I mean?

No. I'm sorry. So when you guys are kissing, it tastes nasty? Yes, yes. Okay, butt laughing. It doesn't stink, but it tastes nasty.

I don't understand that. Exactly. Like, maybe she's brushing her teeth, but she's not brushing her tongue. Right. Exactly. You know, so I said, maybe I want to put Listerine

inside her milk or something like that. I don't know. Oh, it tastes like milk? No, no. I'm trying to figure out maybe I could put Listerine in places where she would have to, you know. You shouldn't put nothing in a woman's drink when she's not aware of it, sir. All right, well. She wanted to fight gingivitis.

It could be gingivitis. It could be gross. Does she go to the dentist? Have you spoken to her about that? We've only been seeing each other for maybe three weeks now. It's pretty recent. But it's been happening consistently.

Yes. I even saw her brush her teeth because I wasn't sure. But I didn't see if she brushed her tongue. At least I know she brushes her teeth. You should have a discussion about it. Be like, do you brush your tongue when you brush your teeth? We were having a conversation about that on The Breakfast Club. Probably got cavities.

Probably needs a root canal. No, he said a breath don't stink. That's a hard conversation. No, you should bring it up like I was talking to somebody about this, about brushing your tongue because I brush my tongue. Do you brush your tongue? That's a good way to do it. Also, it could be her

diet. Oh, okay. Because sometimes what you eat really comes through like in your pores when you taste somebody and their different orifices. You can taste what their diet is. So maybe you would recommend that, you know, give her some fruits and things like that because that will make you taste better

everywhere. You've only been dating her for three weeks. The truth is she could be eating another man's ass and then kissing you with that same mouth. You know, it does taste like some ass now that you mention it. Oh, my God. Booty Larry. Butt Larry. That's what I'm telling you.

You don't really know this woman. You right. Well, he's still kissing her, so it doesn't matter. Oh, my God. I would never kiss her again now. Not if I'm kissing, you know, man's ass. Stop it. Push through. It's possible. It's quite, you know, man's ass. Stop it. Push the wheel.

It's possible. It's quite possible. All right, but Larry. Push the wheel. But Larry. And Larry. But Larry is what's wrong with your woman's mouth. All right.

Just need relationship advice, hit it now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Come on. Need relationship advice?

Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye. Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now we're in the middle of Ask Ye.

Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, guys. This is Shante. Hey, Shante. What's your question for Ye? For Ye? Hey, good morning, guys. This is Shante. Hey, Shante. What's your question for Yee? For Yee, well, good morning, everybody. Good morning. For Yee, this is my thing.

Okay. I had a real serious relationship about five years ago, actually. We was together for about three years. We were about to get engaged. Well, we got engaged. We were going to get married. About seven months before the wedding, he decided to tell me that this isn't what he wanted.

He's not ready for it. I'm a single mom with three kids. He's a dad of just one. Okay. So he came out of the blue and was like, you know, I'm not ready for this. And, you know, he didn't want to take that step. It hurt me completely.

We broke up. We were separated for two years. Didn't speak to him whatsoever throughout the entire two years. Ironically, on the day that we broke up was the same date that he decided to hit me up in my DM and was like, hey, I'm thinking about you. I want to talk to you. We went out for breakfast. We talked and he decided to tell me he was sorry and why he felt at that moment he

wasn't ready to make that step. I told him, okay, I get it. I forgive you and we let it go. Well, since then, that was November of last year, 2018.

Since then, he would ask me to go out. We might even have dinner. We'll chill, 2018. He, since then, has been, you know, he would ask me to go out. We might even have dinner. We'll chill, whatever. And he hasn't said anything about, I want to pick up where we left off. I want us to start over. None of that. But you keep trying to insert yourself into my life.

Now, recently, I've tried to completely just break it off because, you know, I'm a female and I did love him. My feelings are involved. But he isn't getting the message that either you're going to be real about this or you're not going to be in my life at all. You know, I have, I mean, not to toot my own horn, but I have guys approaching me every single day. So, you know, you're kind of interfering with the emotions that I may have to give to somebody else. He's blocking what could be your potential blessing. Shante, do you want to be with him? Honestly, if he came to me and said, I do want to start this over and I want to be real. Yes, I would love to be with him.

But I'm not going to be just some sometime chick for you and I'm not going to be an option for you. So don't be. Shante, so don't be that. Because right now you're giving him the benefit of being able to hang out with you and not make any type of commitment and potentially hurt your feelings again. So directly, he has to be able to say, look, we're going to try this again or we're not going to try this again or we're not going to try this again.

And then act accordingly. Do you think I would be too extra if I would? Because he'll text me from time to time and be like, hey, good morning. I'm thinking about you, blah, blah, blah. And I don't want to seem rude sometimes, but I just want to be like, stop effing texting me. You know what I'm saying? Like, stop hitting me up. We're not going to, if you're not going to be real about this,

but I'm trying to be nice and cordial. You don't have to try to be nice. He broke your heart. You know, you got to protect, you got to protect yourself. I think it's important for you guys, for him to be direct. Yes, I'm trying to get back together with you. No, I'm not. And he needs to act accordingly. And then whatever, from what he

says, if he says no, that's not what he wants to do right now, then you don't have to deal with him at all. You don't owe him anything. Facts. Why are you hurting his feelings above your feelings? You know, that's a good question. That's a flaw that I have. I'm always thinking about other people before myself.

And I'm just going to change that from this point on. I just try to be rational about things because people tell me I used to be so irrational and I'm not open-minded enough. So, you know, I mean, I was just trying to, I don't know, give him the benefit of the doubt in hopes that maybe he would come around and do what I want him to do. But it's not happening that way. And I'm just like completely over it. Don't put yourself in that situation again. Absolutely.

Well, I appreciate the heads up. Thank you so much for the advice. Alright. Listen, thank you, Shantay, and I hope everything works out for you, but he's either got to get down or get out. Facts. Alright, bet. Thank you. I bet. Alrighty, have a good one, Mama. Good luck.

Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, you can hit Yee. Now, we got rumors on the way. Yes, let's talk about Donald Glover and Beyonce. You know, they're working on Lion King together. What was it like? Were the two of them in the studio? We'll find out what Donald Glover had to say about Beyonce.

All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With's just in. All the gossip.

Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Donald Glover was on Jimmy Kimmel Live,

and when asked about whether or not he recorded with Beyonce for The Lion King, here's what he said. Are you in the same room with Beyonce when you guys were singing? No, I requested not to be. He did. I did not want to be looking into Beyonce's eyes while doing this, so, but no, actually, I was, I was working on solo at the time, so I was in London, so I recorded at Abbey Road Studios. I see, and then they put you, your voices together. Solo was trash, so he definitely should have been in the studio with Beyonce. That

would have been a much better experience than that solo movie. I would think, too, when you work on something like this, is it more beneficial when you guys are in the room together just to kind of catch the vibe? I would have much rather been in the room with Beyonce than on set of that whack-ass solo movie. But I can understand what he's saying. Singing and looking in Beyonce's eyes, you probably feel like...

You still want to catch the vibe. You want to be in the room with somebody. What's wrong with looking in Beyonce's eyes? He probably would have felt You still want to catch the vibe. You want to be in the room with somebody. What's wrong with looking at Beyonce's eyes? He probably would have felt crazy, like, this is just too awkward. Beyonce. Thinking about you, Childish Gambino, in that way. Not that, thinking about it like that, but just because she's such a great singer, it's just weird. She make you step your game up.

All righty. So that's like saying if you're having a conversation with her, you're not going to look her in the eyes while you're talking to her? You're not singing. Beyonce is known as a singer, like an amazing singer. And if, you know, you got to stare in her eyes and sing, it probably would feel weird. All right, well, he also talks about Atlanta and when that show is coming back.

Are you working on Atlanta right now? I think my contract says I have to say yes. Oh. Yes. So you are supposed to be working on Atlanta right now. I am working on Atlanta right now. On the plane to Australia. You'll be riding in the storm.

Literally, this is a script for Atlanta, if anybody asks. Definitely need another season of Atlanta. And don't get too sporty now, Donald. Atlanta is what put you in the position you're in. Don't just start disregarding what got you here. And Chance the Rapper also makes a brief cameo in The Lion King in the remake, and he posted, here's a short story. I grew up my whole life obsessed with all things related to The Lion King,

like all three films, the Broadway play, and especially the Broadway soundtrack. Needless to say, the original film was immensely impactful on my music and overall life. So when my big bro Donald got casted as Simba, he did the coolest thing ever and told the director to call me in as a consultant to keep the original flavor. So for about a year, I would go to the studio, see early animation scenes, music direction, and then he said,

one day I'm there, John asked me to do some singing stuff. Another day, he asked me to do some lines. It's all a blur, but I tell you, it's one of the best blurs of my whole life. Dope. That is amazing. Alright, Michael Eric Dyson has announced he has his new book, Jay-Z Made in America, coming out. It's going to detail Jay-Z's rise to a cultural icon.

He said, I'm happy to announce my new book. It examines Jay's hustling past and present, his poetic genius, and his political engagement. Lots of fresh interpretations of Jay's thoughts and career. Dropping the clues, Bones, for Michael Eric Dyson. I'm going to have to post that. Let me post that right now. You can pre-order that today, by the way. It's one of my favorite scholars, Michael Eric Dyson. I'm going to have to post that. Let me post that right now. You can preorder that today, by the way. He's one of my favorite scholars, Michael Eric Dyson.

All right, now let's talk about A$AP Rocky for a second. Of course, he's had to cancel his performances and everything he has coming up because we don't know how long he's going to be locked up in a jail in Sweden. They said he can be held for at least two weeks while prosecutors decide whether or not they're going to charge him. And we've been talking about the conditions that he's in. According to his people, he's in solitary confinement. It's not clean.

The water's not clean. He's sleeping on a yoga mat. All he's had is an apple to eat. And now the boss, the Swedish prison boss, has spoken out to defend what's going on. He said, I have no knowledge of any current diseases in the prison. He also says that all prisoners in Swedish remain in prison where they stay while they wait for trial, receive three meals a day, and that a professional cleaning company immediately sanitizes and cleans an area following any food spillage or any accidents that result in blood.

He said, for the sake of the prisoners, as well as for our staff, for them to have decent working conditions. Now, he would not comment on A$AP Rocky specifically because he said he cannot talk about individual prisoners, but he said he could talk about the general conditions of the prison where he's being held. So we still don't have any idea of what's going to happen. They have the option to detain him for a further two weeks after another hearing if the investigation isn't completed

during the time they requested initially. Yeah, I got a homeboy named Alex who got locked up in Sweden earlier this year for fighting. He said that the conditions in the jail are very bad, like the first two or three days. I guess they try to starve you out and hope that you're just going to come out and confess to whatever it is you did or say you're guilty. But he said after that, they put you in much better conditions.

Yeah. All right, now Takashi69, speaking of jail. I haven't heard from him in a long time. He's hired another lawyer now who represented Robert Kraft and Jay-Z. So now he's hired Alex Spiro. So I guess maybe, I don't know what kind of movement there's going to be from that. But Spiro's had some big wins in the courtroom. He represented Kraft in that prostitution case in Florida

and he also represented Jay-Z in his effort to diversify a two-white arbitration panel with this whole trademark dispute with a clothing company, Iconics, and he also represented Charles Oakley after he was caught trying to cheat at a game of Ultimate Texas Hold'em at a Vegas casino

and so on and so forth. So you gotta spend more money on another lawyer after all that snitching he done did? What was the point of doing all that ratting? That's what I was going to say. Yeah, he did all that. Shouldn't there be a deal in place? Yeah, you did all that ratting just to have to hire another lawyer? Well, Snoop posted, let that rat rot, G-code.

I ain't got nothing to do with that because I ain't on none of them codes. All I'm simply saying is you did all that ratting only to have to hire another lawyer and spend more money? I guess so. What was the point of ratting? All right, and Lil' Kim, she was supposed to do some press appearances but canceled them. And happy birthday to Lil' Kim. Happy birthday to Lil' Kim. Dropping a Clues Bonsai Lil' Kim.

Seven-year anniversary of Can I Get a Drop? All right, she canceled all her press appearances, she said, because of some messy reporters. One of the reasons it's not happening is because two of the major outlets wanted to be messy. Thursday was supposed to be a big press day for me. I was supposed to do Watch What Happens Live with Andy, the Today Show, the list goes on. But there were, I want to say, maybe two publications, and one of them being Watch What Happens Live Andy.

I have a cool relationship with him, which I thought. I feel her. I'm grown. We cancers. Okay, if you make me feel uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form, I'm not coming. Or going. Okay? Or staying.

She's like, I ain't got to do this. She ain't got to do it. Because guess what? Lil' Kim is solidified. She's certified out here. Those two appearances not going to help her or hurt her in any way, shape, or form.

When does that show start that she's on, the VH1 show? I think that's next month. Something cruise? R&B cruise or something like that? R&B cruise?

That's what I thought it was called. I'm not sure what it's called. All right, hold on. I don't know what it is. Pull it up. Today is throwback Thursday, too. Seven years ago today

on Lil' Kim's birthday, almost got jumped in the street. It's called Girls Cruise? Girls Cruise. That's what it's called. The can I get a drop moment. You got punched in the back of the head. The guy was like, say something about Lil' Kim's birthday, almost got jumped in the street. It's called Girls Cruise? Girls Cruise. That's what it's called. The can I get a drop moment. Got punched in the back of the head. The guy was like, say something about Lil' Somebody again.

I wish that was July 15th. July 15th. So that's a couple days, right? That's, yeah. Have a great birthday present for Lil' Kim. Yeah, happy birthday, Lil' Kim. Dropping the clues bonds for Lil' Kim, damn it. Let's get into a Lil' Kim mini mix.

Thank you for the rumors, Yee. Hey. Let me know your favorite Lil' Kim joint, 800-585-1051. Again, happy birthday to little Kim. Make sure you get in her comments and wish her a happy birthday. I'm going to say a little Kim ball. You finish it, all right?

Okay, go. I used to be scared of the... Ick. Go ahead. Now you go. No, no, you go. No, you go. You go.

No, you got to go now. You got to go. I said my ball. I said a ball. No, you said a word. All right, so you go. I used. No, you got to go now. You got to go. I said my bar. I said a bar. No, you said a word. So you go. I used to be scared at a... Go.

No, I'm not messing with you. Now, don't. Let's do that. Oh, it's no fun when you do it. Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes up next. Let me know your favorite Kim joint. Let's go.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, last night, Charlamagne was out and about. Yeah, I was outside. He was outside. You know what? Imagine that.

He's like, I hate going outside. I mean, when I go outside, my outside is a little different, though. I was at a Brooklyn Bowl with Senator Kamala Harris. You went to Brooklyn? I was in Brooklyn Bowl with Senator Kamala Harris and Satchel Lee, Salute to Satchel Lee, Spike Lee's daughter. It was a great crowd out there. And then I was at CNN.

I did CNN Tonight with my man Don Lemon. Okay. Yeah. So he was on there last night. We're going to play a clip of it now. Why do you think this president and this administration gets away with so much stuff? Old white male entitlement. People say it all the time. If Barack Obama did a quarter of

the things that Donald Trump has done, he wouldn't have made it to be the nominee or anything. He'd have been out first round, whatever. Okay, so then what do you say to people who say, well, listen, this is about beating Trump, and I don't know, it's going to take someone who's like Trump to beat Trump. So if you want somebody that's like Trump to beat Trump, then you're essentially saying you really don't have a problem with Trump.

You just may not like Trump because Trump doesn't represent your particular party, maybe? Would you really want somebody like Donald Trump as a Democrat? Because if you do, if you say yes, then that means you really don't have a problem with Trump. You just have a problem with the fact that he's not representing your party. Yeah, it makes zero sense to say you want somebody like Trump if you're in the Democratic Party. Like, oh, you need somebody like Trump to beat Trump. So essentially you're saying you don't have a problem with Donald Trump.

You're just mad Donald Trump's not representing your party. So, whatever. All right, well, when we come back, we got the positive notes. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We got a shout out to Dapper Dan for joining us this morning. Salute to Dapper Dan. He was trending this morning. He was. People weren't too happy

with how Dapper Dan is moving. Man, when you read his memoir and see what a rough life he's had. I think I can do it now. I mean, I'm happy Dapper Dan is finally getting some money. He's having a tough time in the fashion world.

I think it's just simple questions that can be answered, but for some reason they never can be. And when you ask a simple question like, why don't we, we as black people, value our black designers and black brands the way we value the Gucci's, the Louis's, and the Fendi's, and when you can't answer that, I even answer how we can start doing that, the Louis's and the Fendi's and when you can't answer that, I even answer how

we can start doing that, that's a little strange for some people. But for Dapper Dan, I think it's good that at Gucci they've implemented a whole plan to educate these up and coming designers so hopefully they can in the future have their own huge brands and these are for black designers. I'm going to be honest with you, I don't give a damn about Gucci, I give a damn about Dapper Dan.

You know what I'm saying? And you know, I like what he was talking about when he said he's trying to start his own fashion house and his own brand and looking for a symbol from West Africa to put on the clothes. Like, that's what I want to see. You know? I just want to see Dapper Dan prosper, man. You know, he lost a lot of money. They shut him down. He's making money

again now. Hopefully he can start his own line and create his own company and his kids can live on forever. Because you asked a good question. You said Dapper Dan never had his own clothing line. No, no. Which is wild to me. Right. Because you got all the materials

and you got everything out. Why wouldn't you try to start your own situation? Right, he created from MCM. He created from Gucci. He created from Louis Vuitton. I just never seen an own Dapper Dan line. I'm hoping he's getting the necessary education that he needs working in a global company so that he can do his own thing.

That's what you got to do. You got to learn so you can take what you learn at a company and apply it to yourself. That's the other thing I was mad I didn't ask him. What's that? When he talks about clothing companies being global, it's like, yo, we've seen the Fat Farms and the Sean Johns and the Rockaways all over the world. You still see them now. People still wear FUBU and Fat Farm and Sean John in Rockaway overseas. Yeah, they may not be wearing it here, but they're wearing a coup in China.

Okay. They all wear a coup. So I'm just saying, I'm like, what does he mean when he says global? I don't know. I'm not in the fashion world, so I don't know. All right, well. I just want black people to value black stuff. That's it.

Well, you got a positive note? Yes, the positive note is simply this. They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.

This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that?
