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?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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 shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Shout out to the Breakfast Club.
I hope to see y'all in here tomorrow.
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 Tha God.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Break the out.
Good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,
yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,
yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Angel E is

It's Thursday.
Yes, it's Thursday.
Happy holidays. Feliz Navi.
What's it? Feliz Navidad. Feliz Navidad
and all that good stuff.
We're one day close to the vacation.
Are you one day close to the vacation? You got that right. I'm one day close to the vacation. Oh, you one day close to the vacation?
You got that right.
I'm one day close to the vacation.
You taking the whole week off, actually?
No, Wednesday.
Oh, so you ain't one day off.
One day close to the vacation.
Oh, one day close.
You made it seem like one day close to as in you got one.
You never know with you.
Tell your brain to turn on at 6 a.m.
No, you never know with you.
One day close to vacation means this is your last day.
Tomorrow you going on vacation. You never know with you. I looked at. One day close to vacation means this is your last day. Tomorrow you're going on vacation.
You never know what you.
I looked at all my vacation days.
I had three left.
You would have tried it.
I used one yesterday, and I had two left.
I used them for next week.
Okay.
Next Wednesday.
Like I said, you never know what you sometimes.
You'd be like, you know what?
I've earned my vacation days.
I ain't mad at you.
I'm just saying you never know.
I've earned my vacation days if you don't use them.
It's like a data plan.
If you got the minutes, if you got the bandwidth, use it.
So what'd you do for your vacation day yesterday?
Yesterday wasn't a vacation day.
I was actually working.
I was in the Bahamas, though.
Oh, okay.
That's a nice place to work.
Yeah, I was in the Nassau Bahamas.
I don't call it work, because when you love what you do, it's not really work.
They always say if you find, what do they say?
I don't even know who they is.
But they say if you love what you do, you'll't even know who they is, but they say if you
love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.
Correct. I haven't worked in a long time. Me neither.
I'm going to be honest with you. I haven't worked in a long time.
But you know the funny thing is when you
stay home, because yesterday I stayed home. I just
relaxed. Your kids look at you crazy.
They're like, what are you doing home?
Well, I live here. And that's when you tell them, sit they
dumb ass down. They're like, what are you doing home?
Dad, you're not home at this time.
I'm like, what?
I try to explain that to my daughter all the time.
She's 11, and she's one of those, I'm always bored.
She's bored.
Okay, well, go read a book.
Go write something.
Go do something constructive and productive.
Because guess what?
Me and your mother are doing exactly what we want to do right now, which is nothing.
You know why we get to do nothing and enjoy it?
Because we're always doing something for your ass. Well, yesterday I read the Elf on the Shelf book to my kids.
My six-year-old, five-year-old, yes, three-year-old.
Really?
It explained about the Elf on the Shelf.
You got to pick the elf's name and all that other good stuff.
My kids are really into Elf on the Shelf.
I was almost late this morning because I had to double back and go home
and move because the Elf on the Shelf moves every day.
Explain to me the Elf on the Shelf because I know Elf on the Shelf.
I also know reindeer in here.
I don't know about that one.
The elf on the shelf is an elf that's supposed to look at your kids
to tell Santa that you're good or naughty or nice.
So every day the elf moves around the house, and the kids can't touch it.
If the kids touch the elf, they lose their magical powers.
So every day the elf moves from different areas to different areas.
Like, we do creative stuff.
Like, one day the elf might be in the bathroom, and we'll drop candy in the toilet and be like,
the elf poops candy.
Little cute stuff like that my kids love.
Y'all stay doing this make-believe fictional stuff.
Nobody poops candy, kids.
Elves do.
All right.
Elves do.
There ain't no black elves either.
Every time I see the elf on the shelf, it's never a black person.
I ain't never seen a black elf.
I don't like that.
I ain't see a black elf.
We can't even be black in the fictional world? No. No, there's no black elves. I don't like that. I ain't seen a black elf. You can't even be black in the fictional world?
Nah.
Nah, there's no black elves.
I don't like that.
Maybe you need to create one.
Yes.
Yes.
Black elf on the shelf.
Belph on the shelf.
There you go.
Call him Belph.
Belph on the shelf.
Belph on the shelf,
God damn it.
All right, let's get
the show cracking.
D-Dot, Derek Anzaletti
will be joining us
for Throwback Thursday.
Oh, OG D-Dot,
a.k.a. the Mad Rapper.
The Mad Rapper.
But he was also,
he's a phenomenal producer
as part of the Hitmen.
You know what I mean?
Created a lot of that
bad boy sound
that we all loved
in the 90s and early 2000s.
He still does music
all the time.
Yeah, he still does music
all the time.
Now, the Hitmen was Naeem,
it was Stevie J,
it was D-Dot,
and it was one other producer
that I can't remember.
I'm sure we'll talk about.
Wasn't Mario Wynon
a part of them?
And Chucky,
was it Chucky? Chucky was. Chucky, I don't know if it's Chucky Thompson. Don't give me the line. sure we'll talk about it. Wasn't Mario Wynon a part of them? And Chucky, was it Chucky?
Chucky was.
I don't know if it was Chucky Thompson.
Don't get me to lie.
But we'll talk to D-Dot a little bit later.
It's funny because D-Dot is one of those people
that randomly we text a lot.
You know what I mean?
I don't know how that even started.
But yeah, I like talking to D-Dot.
All right.
Well, when we come back, we got front page news.
We'll tell you about the Jersey shooting happened
that six people were killed. Well, six people died. So we'll tell you about the Jersey shooting happened that six people were killed.
Well, six people died.
So we'll tell you about that when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Okay.
All right.
National Ding-a-ling Day.
I don't even know what that is.
Taylor, our producer, just came in here and said that to us.
And I don't want to assume what it is.
And, you know, my mind be in the gutter sometimes.
So I don't want to even just assume what I think National Ding-a-ling Day is.
I ain't playing with you.
Well, let's get in some front page news. I don't want you to play with my I think National Ding-a-ling Day is. I ain't playing with you. Let's get in some front page news.
I don't want you to play with my ding-a-ling. See, here you go.
And Thursday night football!
The Baltimore Ravens
take on the New York Jets.
Okay, Lamar Jackson on the night, huh?
Oh, against the Jets, that's going to be a video game.
He might have 537 yards
rushing, another 766
yards passing, and 19
touchdowns by itself.
Yeah, now let's get into some sad news.
Of course, we all heard about the Jersey City shooting.
The suspects have been identified as David Anderson and Francine Graham.
So let me tell you what happened.
So they believe at about 11.30 a.m.
they were parked outside of a cemetery in a stolen U-Haul truck.
They said a police officer walked up to the truck.
They pulled out a gun and shot the police officer, killed him.
Then around 12.21, they drove to a Jewish deli.
They came out of their U-Haul truck with rifles, both of them,
and started shooting up the deli.
The police heard the shots, ran over,
and pretty much made them stay in the deli till they got more help. And there was tons of shooting, so much shooting. They said police arrived near
the supermarket, engaged with the two suspects and started a long shootout. They said the shootout
was just shots and shots and shots for hours at a time. I'm surprised they had that much ammunition.
A police armored vehicle broke into the supermarket entryway,
and when they got inside, both suspects were killed,
and three others were killed in the deli.
This is the craziest thing.
Could you imagine this?
Husband and wife owned the deli.
Husband left the deli to go pray, I guess, at the synagogue down the street.
During the time when he went to pray, this is when this happened.
So his wife was killed, an employee was killed, I guess, at the synagogue down the street. During the time when he went to pray, this is when this happened.
So his wife was killed, an employee was killed,
and somebody that was purchasing something in a deli was killed.
I don't know anything about this situation.
I got sketchy details yesterday.
I just want to know what's up with y'all stealing all these UPS trucks.
What?
Oh, it's a U-Haul truck.
U-Haul truck. Oh, I thought you said UPS.
U-Haul truck.
Y'all also scared my baby last night.
My daughter told me that she was scared,
and she doesn't go to school anywhere near Jersey City.
But for some reason, I guess they told the school that there was a lockdown at a Jersey school because of shooting.
And she found herself being afraid yesterday.
She told me that last night.
Right.
Yeah, very scary.
And yeah, and I had to hit her with the Dave Chappelle.
Because, you know, it's weird when your kids come to you with certain things.
Because I said, yo, man, the truth to the matter is, if that was a situation that happened
at your school, there was, there's really nothing you could do at that moment except
leave it to God.
There's nothing you can do.
And, you know, the sad thing about it is.
And she said true.
She was 11.
She was like true.
The sad thing about it is, you know, when they shut down those schools, they don't tell
the parents or kids what's going on.
So parents are stuck out there.
Like, I tell you that incident when they shut down my son's school,
they said that there was an active, not an active shooter,
somebody running around campus with a gun.
And I ran up there with my dogs and everything I had to go,
and I got my kid out of that school.
That's right.
And the cops look at me, what are you doing here?
I'm coming to get my son.
That's what I'm doing here.
And what do those school lockdowns do?
Like what do they do?
They lock down the school.
Because if it's not an active shooter in the school
Well they say
it keeps the kids safe
so that way
if there is a shooter
he can't get in the school
to hurt any of the kids
so they try to lock it down
What if the shooter
is in the school already?
I don't know
That would be smart
to lock the doors
You would at least
want kids to be able
to run out of emergency exits
and stuff like that
Bro I got Chuck Norris
which is my German shepherd
and I got a bunch
of other things
and me and my wife
ran up in that school
like Rambo,
and we pulled our son out.
Better bring that punk-ass dog.
That punk-ass dog was dead.
That punk-ass dog was ready for war.
Shout-out to Chuck Norris.
That's front page news.
That's right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
Now, if you need to vent, hit us up.
Say another story about Chuck Norris.
So yesterday, somebody came in my gates yesterday, right?
I didn't know it was a UPS delivery guy, right?
He just came in to get his delivery package.
And all I seen was a white guy coming up my driveway, right?
What'd I do?
Put the dog on him.
Chuck Norris, go!
You're goddamn right.
I've never seen that man run so fast in his life.
I didn't know he had a box.
He threw the box and started going.
Chuck Norris was on his ass.
Hey, he's a stranger.
He's a stranger.
Stranger danger.
All right, announce yourself. Exactly. Get it off your chest. 800-5 was on his ass. He's a stranger. Strange and dangerous.
Exactly. Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up right now. He said he didn't see the bell.
Yeah, the bell is big as hell. He'll learn next time. That'll learn him. Alright, 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 are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great
colonial tradition.
Why can't I
trade my own country?
My forefathers
did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country
willingly gives up
their territory.
I was making rockets
with black powder,
you know,
with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
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 like grace have grace for 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 iheart radio 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.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Kim from Brooklyn.
Hey, Kim, get it off your chest.
Hey, I just wanted to
re-innovate on something Charlamagne just said
in regards to the lockdowns
with the schools as far as the shelter ends.
Yes, ma'am. If it is
an active shooter in the building, those doors
are not supposed to be locked because I work
within the DOE
school system.
Yeah, because I would be like,
at least the kids can run out.
You don't lock them in. Exactly.
No, no, no. The doors are supposed to be open
so the help can get in the building.
But as far as that situation in Jersey, the threat was outside the building.
They are supposed to lock those doors so the threat won't come in to harm the kids.
Okay, thank you.
Makes perfect sense.
I think they should tell the kids what's going on, too,
so the kids are understanding that there's a shooter.
He looks like this.
Like, explain to me what's going on.
Don't just have me stuck behind these doors not saying anything.
And more importantly, explain to the parents what's going on.
When the parents call the school, don't tell the parents that day they don't have no information.
I need to know what the hell's going on with my child.
Hello, who's this?
It's T.
Yo, what's up?
Get it off your chest, bro.
Hey, Charlemagne.
Yes, sir.
What's up, King?
What's up, man?
Hey, why you ain't getting DJ Envy Donkey out of the day yet, man?
This dude, he's sticking his dog on UPS drivers.
He's getting little girls fired from super drivers. He's getting little girls from the supermarket
coming on cucumbers.
Guys sucking on cucumbers and stuff like that.
Deleting his comments.
Why you ain't get him?
Don't get it.
Don't get it.
Well, wait a minute now.
When did Envy suck on a cucumber?
Out of all of the stuff that you just told me,
when did Envy suck on a cucumber?
No, one day when Trae up called,
and Trae up said he commented on a guy sucking on a cucumber
on Instagram, and he deleted his comment.
Oh, well, listen, I don't be tripping off my man's sex life.
You know what I'm saying?
I think it's dope, you know, for him to be so versatile.
And, like, as far as him sticking his dog on the UPS driver,
it's crazy danger.
I would have done the same thing.
Yeah, you don't come in my gates and not identify yourself.
And what had happened was
L'Oreal posted
a long time ago a bunch of dudes
doing wild stuff. I just
scrolled through it and I had a like on it.
And then Trav was like, Envy likes this picture.
Oh, you like the picture of a guy sucking a cucumber?
You know what? What's wrong with that?
You know what? He said it was gay. What's up, Trav?
You're right on time, Trav.
Trav, you just got me in trouble.
I just want to tell you that.
I got you in trouble?
How?
Remember months ago when you and L'Oreal posted some video of some dude sucking on eggplants
and I accidentally liked the picture and erased it?
Okay, accidentally.
And then you tried to blow me up?
He tried to blow you.
Yeah.
Of course.
Oh, God.
Yes, I do remember that.
How'd I get you in trouble?
Somebody just said, why don't you give Envy Donkey the day for that?
But anyway, what's up, Trav?
How are you, Trav?
The fresh prince of penetration.
What's happening?
Actually, I'm a little sad, guys.
I'm a little sad.
Why?
I'll be real with you.
You know why?
I killed a man the other day.
Damn.
I'm still washing the blood off my hands.
I'm still pulling my foot off their ass.
I've been shitting on a port-a-potty since the other day, yo.
Damn, man.
You killed port-a-potty guy, a.k.a. Sean Stone, man.
Why you did that, man?
No, real talk, though, man.
Hey, all these rappers that get on my inbox telling me that they would have ate my ass up.
Don't threaten you with a good time.
How you know that they talking about rap, sir?
Some of y'all can.
Some of y'all can
because some of y'all
can definitely eat
my ass if you want to.
Okay.
It's kinky this morning.
Yeah, man.
Everybody started telling me
that I didn't write it
because I definitely wrote it.
At first,
I was like 10 minutes
worth of writing.
It was very light bars
and I beat them
with light bars.
And Nicole is my favorite artist.
So yeah,
drop my clues bombs for me.
Well, congratulations.
Congratulations, man. You got your first rap battle win. Hopefully yeah, drop a clue. Bounce for me. Well, congratulations. Congratulations, man.
You got your first rap battle win.
Hopefully it'll be your last. Hopefully you don't have to do that ever again to somebody. Yeah, I hope
not even. But alright, y'all. It was fun.
Alright, Trav. 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.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
What's going on, DJ Envy, Angelique, and God?
Peace, King.
What's up, bro?
Get it off your chest.
Okay, I want to spread a little inspiration for all the single parents out there.
And I mean, being in the holiday season, babies need us,
man, so if it gets greater later,
check out my page, Rich Fatherhood,
on IG and Twitter.
Alright, bro.
I need to follow back from y'all too, man.
Support the movement. I won't. Hello,
who's this? Hey, this is
Kevin from Miami, man.
What's up, bro? Get off your chest.
Yeah, man, I want to get that Michael Vick situation off my chest.
And I don't feel bad for Michael Vick because, you know,
when Kaepernick was around here saying, you know,
he should be protesting and everything,
he said the man should cut his hair if he wanted to get back in the NFL.
You know what I'm saying?
The man signed up for people like Michael Vick,
and he talking behind his back to tell him to cut his hair.
Now he needs our help to just try to get him back, you know,
just to be a captain in the Pro Bowl.
You know, so, hey, he didn't support that man,
so why should we support him?
I don't agree with that, sir.
I believe that an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
And even if you don't agree with a human being,
like with the ASAP Rocky situation when he was locked up in Sweden,
even if you didn't agree with past comments that he's made,
you still got to look at the injustice that's happening because that can still happen to you regardless.
Okay, and I agree with that.
But at the same time, just like it was injustice happening to Kaepernick,
you know what I'm saying?
He didn't agree with that either, you know what I'm saying?
So everybody agreeing, you know, how they feel about their own situation. So, you know, it is what it is on that, you know what I'm saying? He didn't agree with that either. You know what I'm saying? So everybody agreeing, you know, how they feel about their own situation.
So, you know, it is what it is on that.
You know what I'm saying?
But, you know, I disagree with you, but I agree with you at the same time.
But it is what it is.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, because my problem with the Mike Vick situation is like, yo, this man has paid his debt to society.
He has.
You know what I mean?
This man has been to prison already.
He's been back in the league.
He's been back in the league.
He's got a job on Fox Sports 1.
When they going to leave this man alone about killing them damn dogs?
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Nick from Columbus.
How y'all doing this morning?
What's up, Nick?
Get it off your chest.
I just want to spread a little positivity this morning, man.
I just want to let y'all know that y'all are very inspirational.
You're funny.
You guys are informative.
I was just telling a young lady that I intend on bringing my wife up to New York for her birthday in January.
And I was wondering if I'm a great, great fan.
And I was wondering if there's any way that I'd be able to meet you all, maybe get autographs or pictures.
Sure.
If you can find the address to the building, you can always come up between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Put his name down so at least we know his name.
Yeah, so we know who's coming up here.
Absolutely. What's your name?
Nah, nah, I'm saying that. I want him to say it
for the world, so if he try anything stupid, everybody
know why he got shot when he came up here.
What's your name? Nah, man,
I ain't about that. I ain't about that. I wanted to say
that too. I wanted to spread a little positive
activity for the men out here, man, you know,
and tell these brothers not to give up, you know what I'm saying?
Okay, sir. If it ain't a struggle, it ain't real, man, you know, and tell these brothers not to give up, you know what I'm saying? Okay, sir.
If it ain't a struggle, it ain't real, so, you know,
fight for it, keep pushing, keep striving.
Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this?
You're Envy. What's up, bro? It's Mello.
Mello, what's up, man? Yo, you doing well
out there on the Portland Trailblazers, bro, man.
You really doing your thing.
I told you, man. I just want to play basketball, man.
How you feeling today, bro? I'm good, man. I'm good.
What's up, bro? Get off your chest.
Yo, that diss track from Trav is still bumping, son.
Like, that's crazy.
I'm about to write a diss track for my boss.
He is fired, bro.

Now, since we're talking about diss records, you know who did another diss record?
Who?
Nick Cannon.
No, he didn't.
Yes, he did.
To who, Eminem?
We're going to get that back on when we come back.
Don't move.
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 are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried 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.

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.

We should be playing like Lil Duval Christmas Trees.
Like, that song is out of season, man.
You're talking about summertime and it's goddamn December, almost Christmas.
Before we get to the rumors, let me shout out to Three Jerks.
Okay.
They sent us up some beef jerky.
Well, sent me some beef jerky.
And it was pretty damn good. I'm not a beef jerky
person. You know what got me into beef
jerky? When I went to South Africa.
That's something I guess
that they eat a lot as a snack. You know how we
have chips and cookies. They have a lot of beef jerky.
And I started eating it out there. Don't put that
on South Africa. I put it on South Africa. Nobody
offered me no goddamn beef jerky. I don't know if
he was around, but that's what I got back into. They
offered me beef jerky. But anyway, they sent up some beef jerky. So shout out to Three Jerks. You eat beef jerky. I don't know if he was around, but that's what I got back into. They offered me beef jerky, but anyway, they
sent up some beef jerky, so shout out to Three Jerks.
You eat beef jerky? Nah, not like that.
My wife does. I'm not into it. Pretty good.
Alright, well let's get... It's good though.
I just feel having that meat in your mouth early in the morning.
It tasted good? Salty? I'm gay.
Salty?
Salty? It's not salty.
Okay, alright. Pretty good. Want something? Nah, nah, nah.
Pass later. Alright, well let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Nick Cannon.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
All right, well, you know Nick Cannon and Eminem are going back and forth.
I wouldn't call it a back and forth.
It is a back and forth.
I mean, Eminem has been shooting shots at Nick Cannon for the past decade and
Mariah, so Nick has decided to
go back to back. Well, if you don't know
what it is, let's see how it started.
Fat Joe released an album and he had
Eminem and Mary J. Blige on the album
and Eminem's verse, he threw a shot at
Nick. Didn't end on a high note But that other dude's whip That piece of got him neutered Tried to tell him this chick's a nut job
Before he got his jewels clipped
Almost got my caboose kicked
Fool quit, you're not gonna do this
I let her chop my balls off too
Before I lost to you, Nick
I thought about this.
MB in the house, so he don't be outside,
so time is kind of frozen to him.
You know what I'm saying?
You think he just think he's still 10 years ago.
Yeah, in his mind, he feel like this beef is still active.
He puts out diss records the way people used to do on CDs.
You know, you have to wait for a CD for somebody to reply.
That's how Eminem does it.
Well, Nick Cannon responded.
If you haven't heard his first response, here he goes.
Call Kim, somebody get Haley.
And that other kid you raising, that ain't even your baby.
Took a page out of Drake book.
This might get a Grammy.
We going back to back till you respond on the family.
My baby mama killed you
off a decade ago, and you still crying
about it, bitch. Nah, who really the ho?
I called Joe to set you up, and you
fell for the job. Slim won't show for the
video, cause he terrified of my squad.
I heard your chauffeur got a video of you sucking
the eye. You paid him off, then laid him off.
Now, who really the eye? Should call
me the new Pac. Ain't no killer, but don't
push me. How the fuck y'all got me battling Elvis Pizzoli? Okay, so that was Nick Cannon.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't like hearing dark Nick Cannon.
I didn't think that was bad.
But that last Elvis poo-poo line, that was horrible, Nick.
Jesus Christ.
All right, well, of course, if you haven't heard, Eminem responded on Twitter and said,
I demand an apology, Nicholas.
You've made my gardener so jealous.
You mad bro, stop lying on my ick.
He said Em was sucking off the chauffeur?
Or the chauffeur was sucking Em off, something like that?
Or the chauffeur has a video.
He says, I never even had a chauffeur, you bougie uck.
And then put a clown emoji.
By the way, who cares?
Let's just say hypothetically that was true.
And the chauffeur was doing that to him
He was gonna have to show for who cares. Why is that gay?
Gay gotta stop being an insult to y'all
He just said it didn't have he didn't have a chauffeur but Nick Cannon responded again
You used to be in a position to talk to kids and they listen now you a politician devoted for Trump bitch admitted
They call you a menace in the shoe fit you wore.
But now you getting facelifts like an Instagram whore.
Used to be the king of the room, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics.
Now all you do is just cry.
Now you got Tourette's in the stairs.
Maybe it's your mommy issue.
Maybe your white devilish spirit.
Maybe your original music that your fans used to cherish.
Now you debated, disputed, hated, and viewed in America as a motherfucking drug addict.
And never be a legend.
And you really should start to stare at who's in the mirror.
Look out, I can wake up Botox.
Bitch, I know you in bed.
All the tricks and the gimmicks.
You like the new white supremacist.
Say the same thing.
You ain't no lyricist.
Flam, flam, flam, flam.
Takes hands and trans hands.
I bet you never thought the kill shot would come from the cannon.
I like the renegade Cadence flip.
I'm not going to lie to you.
He flipped Renegade.
At first, I was like, I would never forgive Eminem for making Nick Cannon rap this much.
But I like that little Renegade Cadence flip.
I'm not going to front.
You know what I love about our culture?
When it comes to nuance, we totally understand it in regards to certain people.
For example, everybody in hip-hop culture knows Nick Cannon is a phenomenal businessman,
a hard worker, an entrepreneur.
He really rides for black people
And we respect that
But we also know Nick Cannon sucks as a rapper
And we're able to separate the two
But that was our itchess now
I'm not gonna lie
I like the renegade
Well, we got more
More what?
Obie Trice jumps in
Obie Trice, that used to be signed to Shady?
Yeah Obie Trice jumps in. Obie Trice. That used to be signed to Shady? Yeah. Let's hear it.
Kenny, you still trapped.
You get used to so whack still.
Better AR, better murder to kill.
Better bar about the end of this reel.
You be still him.
You ain't started new, bitch.
I know everything you trying to do.
We've been doing this since 2002.
When we had to eat up Ja Rule.
Tutti Bizzino, you was all on the...
While baby blue. Homie used to beat your bitch ovaries. Sipping Domaine de la Romana. When we had to eat up Ja Rule Tutti Bizzino, you was all on the Well, baby, blue
Homie used to beat your bitch ovaries
Sippin' Domaine de la Romana
Ask the twins how the homies' scrotum taste
You gettin' backwashed
So you really Caucasian up on the inside
See, I always thought Obie could rap.
But Obie has the type of demeanor
that I feel like Nick should have in this battle.
You understand what I'm saying?
Like Nick rappin' over all these dark beats,
and he got the hoodie on and the black shades,
and, you know, looking super thugged out,
and Obi just kind of just laid back, just snapping.
Just snapping.
But Nick Cannon's still watching y'all right now.
I'm going to tell y'all that right now.
Dropping the clues off of Nick Cannon in Detroit.
What y'all going to do?
Nick Cannon got y'all under pressure.
Now, lastly, Harvey Weinstein, he appears to be, he reached a tentative settlement with his victims.
$25 million, it looks like, he will be paying out.
But this is the thing.
It won't be coming from his pocket.
It'll be coming from insurance companies that ripped the Weinstein's company.
They'll pay instead.
Insurance is covered with rape?
I don't know.
Since when?
But the insurance companies, I guess they cover lawsuits.
Not just rape, but they cover the lawsuits.
Or civil suits.
Yeah, civil suits.
Yeah, because that settlement is for a civil suit.
I think people think that that makes me and Tarvey Weinstein is in the clear.
But no, he goes to trial in January for the criminal charges of rape.
Right, but they're saying that the total payout should be around $47 million,
which a lot of that will be covering legal costs.
Lord have mercy. He ain't got to pay none of that. It looks like, allegedly, lot of that will be covering legal costs. Lord have mercy.
He ain't got to pay none of that.
Looks like, allegedly, his insurance companies
will be paying all of that.
No, he's still going to trial in January
to face the criminal charges.
I wonder how that works.
Since he pays that out,
his accusers won't testify against him.
No, it's a civil suit and it's a criminal suit.
That's two different things.
Right, but if there's no accusers,
because if I pay you, you're not going to testify against me.
I don't know if it's all the same people.
I have no idea.
All right, well, that is your rumor report.
When we come back, we got front page news.
Don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Come on.
Damn it, man.
That beef jerk is all right.
Pause.
All right.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Sean Minigod.
We are the Breakfast Club.
The company sent up some beef jerky.
I've been sharing the beef jerky with everybody up here.
And let the record show that today is actually National 12-Hour Fresh Breath Day.
You haven't even made it two hours.
You've been up how long this morning?
Not with this beef jerky.
Exactly.
All right.
Well, let's get into some front page news.
And Thursday night football.
The Ravens take on the Jets tonight.
Now, also last week, the NYPD put out this tweet and it says,
Congratulations to Officer Greenidge and Gunshaw.
They used precision policing and relentless follow-up
to take 106 pounds of marijuana off our city streets.
Well, that's not a good thing.
It's the holiday season.
I want that weed on the street.
Well, the problem was it wasn't weed.
It was just hemp. It was just hemp. So street. Well, the problem was it wasn't weed. It was just hemp.
It was just hemp.
So, of course, the NYPD took that post down.
It was just hemp, and the people that own the hemp was like,
I want my hemp back.
You just can't take the hemp.
Well, hemp is legal?
Yes, hemp is legal.
Okay.
It's the thing that's used to make CBD.
So they're saying, I want my hemp back.
That's my hemp.
And police is like, well, where'd you get that hemp from?
Does it matter if it's legal?
Like, why do I have to explain?
Is hemp used to make CBD?
Yes.
I thought CBD was just another part of the marijuana plant.
I thought it was like THC in it and CBD.
Don't get me to lie, but I know hemp is used to make CBD somehow, some way.
100 to 6 pounds of weed, we need that on the street.
It wasn't weed, it was hemp.
I know that, but I'm just saying in general, Christmas trees, we need that weed on the
streets for the holidays.
People got kickbacks we need to be having.
My goodness.
And lastly, of course, we were talking about the Jersey City shooting earlier.
Suspects identified as David Anderson and Francine Graham.
They were in a U-Haul truck.
They were actually, they believe, lovers, and they lived in this truck.
They said that they were parked.
A police officer walked up to the side of the vehicle.
This is all alleged.
And they believe they started shooting at the officer, killed the officer,
and then started driving in Jersey City to a kosher supermarket.
They got out of the truck and started firing at everybody into the deli slash supermarket.
Were they high?
Was drugs involved?
We don't know if they were high or what it was yet.
In the U-Haul, they believe there was pipe bombs.
They said at 1220, they parked the U-Haul truck directly across the street from the supermarket and started shooting.
1238, a bystander called 911 to report that the police officer, which was killed a mile away, they seen the body on the floor.
1243, police arrived near the supermarket and started shooting, going back and forth with the two suspects.
At 325, a police armored vehicle broke into the supermarket's entryway, and they found
the two individuals dead, the suspects dead.
Three other innocent bystanders were killed as well.
Now, the sad thing about this, I mean, everything is sad, but could you imagine you own this
store with your wife?
No.
You tell your wife, I'm going to go down the block to go pray.
You go leave to pray, and during that time'm going to go down a block to go pray.
You go leave to pray and during that time
you go to pray,
that happens during that time.
Never see your wife again.
Yeah, man.
I mean,
moments like that,
you know,
it's got like God
granting me serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
courage to change
the things I can
and the wisdom
to know the difference
because there's nothing
you can do in situations
like that.
Like every day of our life,
we wake up
and we just want to try
to avoid crazy.
But being that we all interact with other humans all the time,
sometimes we run smack dab into people's crazy, you know?
And, like, my daughter was telling me last night that she was scared
because, you know, I guess they heard about the situation at her school.
And I guess when it's a lockdown in Jersey, I guess all the schools get alerted to it.
They get notified, correct.
So I guess she found that out, and she said she was scared,
and I had to tell her in that moment.
If something like that
was to happen,
there's really nothing
you can do but rely on God.
Some things are just
out of your hands
and out of your control, sadly.
Yeah, a lot of the kids
were very concerned
and the parents as well
because they didn't tell
the parents what was going on.
You couldn't pick up your kids
until like 4 o'clock
because they had to make sure
everything was safe
but that has to be very scary.
I'll tell you that one time
when my son's school
was locked down and I ran up there and my son had to text me and I called the school first and the school was like, oh, no, everything was safe. But that has to be very scary. I'll tell you that one time when my son's school was locked down
and I ran up there, my son had happened to text me
and I called the school first and the school was like,
oh, no, everything's okay.
I'm like, nah, my son told me something was going on.
So we went to the school and there was police out there.
And it was very, very scary.
Very, very scary.
Who was we?
Me, my wife, and my dog, Chuck Norris.
That punk-ass dog.
That punk-ass dog was ready for war.
I'm going to start bringing him to work.
I'm going to have him sit right there.
Look at me funny if you want.
That punk-ass dog.
All right.
Better bring that punk-ass dog here.
All right.
Punk-ass dog ready for war.
He ready for whatever.
Shout out to Chuck Norris.
All right.
Why did you name him after a white man?
I bought him, and that's what his name was.
His name was Chuck Norris.
He's fully trained.
So he's a fully trained security dog.
He absolutely positively attacks.
He does everything that he has to do.
He will sit there.
He will follow anything.
He's fully, fully, fully, fully trained.
Do you feed it?
What do you mean, do I feed him?
I was scared to go near it the way you described it.
No.
My kids are a little scared of him.
But, no, I mean, me and my wife, I mean, we control him.
That's our guy.
Make sure everything is good in the house.
He's the first person that, you know, if there's a problem, he checks it out first.
Gotcha.
All right.
Even when I leave in the morning, I make sure he's outside.
I'm tired of hearing about your punk-ass dog.
Checking the surroundings and make sure everybody's cool before I leave.
Better leave my punk-ass dog alone.
How did the dog get a reputation as a punk?
I don't know.
I don't know.
He got to prove something now.
Exactly.
Why did Gucci think the dog was a punk?
I don't know,
but he got to prove something now.
He got my dog all thinking,
I got to prove that I'm a real dog now.
I got to prove I'm a real nigga.
My dog got feelings too.
We ain't never seen the dog in action.
We ain't never seen the dog curl up
when something goes down. Right. But he's a punk-ass dog. I'm just saying, my dog got to, too. We ain't never seen the dog in action. We ain't never seen the dog curl up when something goes down.
Right.
But he's a punk-ass dog.
I'm just saying, my dog got to prove himself now.
That's why all the UPS drivers and Amazon drivers, be careful,
because Gucci said that, and now my dog got to prove himself.
So you're telling me that all the UPS drivers and Amazon drivers
are like, I don't know what Gucci's talking about.
That dog ain't no punk.
I've been over there.
That dog ran down on me.
All right, well, that's front page news.
Now, when we come back, D-Doc, Derek Angeletti, a.k.a. The Mad Rapper, will be joining us.
Great stories, man.
He was a producer with the Hitmen during that whole Bad Boys, 90s era.
So he was the architect for what some people consider one of the greatest sounds in hip-hop.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, sir.
D-Dot.
D-Dot.
Derek Angeletti.
We here, baby.
A.K.A. Mad Rapper.
A.K.A. We here.
What's up, D-Dot?
What's going on?
Not only just a mad rapper, one of the hitmen.
That's right.
You know what I'm saying? One of the greatest production teams ever assembled. Ever. A team much stronger. You got to talk to the mic, D-Dot? What's going on? Not only just a mad rapper, one of the hit men. That's right. You know what I'm saying?
One of the greatest production teams ever assembled.
Ever.
A team much stronger.
You got to talk to the mic, D-Dot.
Remember that?
I ain't talking to the mic.
There you go.
Team Lights, get them here, baby.
What's going on?
I'm blessed, man.
Thanks for having me, man.
I'm glad you're here, man, because you're one of the people that, you know, you came
up in the 90s, early 2000s with Bad Boy.
Yeah.
And it's like so many of these stories are being told now.
Are any of these stories remotely accurate?
50%.
50%.
I mean, a lot of this is legend, man.
You know what I mean?
A lot of shit back in the day.
You remember we used to have to embellish a little bit to come off.
So a lot of people was embellished over the years to get their status.
Mm-hmm.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's a lot of real stories, but a lot of it is just straight bull. You know what I'm saying? was embellished over the years to get their status.
It's a lot of real stories, but a lot of it is just straight
bulls**t. Biggie
and the Puffy stories and all that.
I stay low. I keep firing. That's
what Biggie says. That's what I do.
Will the real stories ever be told?
It will. I got a podcast
coming out called I Was There.
It's that.
I'm not disrespecting people, but I'm telling stories from a perspective of I Was There. And it's that. I'm going to be not, you know, I'm not disrespecting people,
but I'm telling stories from a perspective of I got witnesses.
So if I tell a story about somebody, you can ask them.
Tell us one story now.
What's one story?
What's a story that, like a misconception that we see about Big
that, or Puff, that people may not be accurate about?
All right, well, you know, all this shit about puff ain't a producer.
Like, you know, because he don't do this.
I definitely am one of those people that have pushed that narrative.
Yeah, that's crazy to me.
Because I know guys who can sit on the drum machine for 15 hours,
make the hottest beat, and go in the studio and make the wackest song.
I know somebody can go in the studio and take your wackest song. I know somebody can go in the
studio and take your beat or your track and make
a hotter song than you.
Who produced that record? Concept
thing. It's about who helps
make the final product
what it is. If five
people donate to that cause, then five people donate
to that cause. If it's one person, if you have
the magic touch, Quincy Jones,
R. Kelly, where you can play it,
sing it, perform it,
go for yours.
90% of people can't do that.
So they need people like me,
Diddy, Jermaine's,
Timberland's, and Pharrell's,
and Dre's to go in and say,
hey, man, let me put
this package together for you.
Let's clean these edges
up a little bit.
Let's do that a little bit
and then go off
for a young man, young lady.
Go do your thing.
Next.
Yeah.
So Diddy didn't necessarily play the MPC or nothing like that.
Zero.
He can't do none of that shit.
But he know how to take how the tracks and the shit you worked on hours
and make a hotter record than you.
Wow.
Better composition than you.
Wow.
So that's props to my man.
I don't want to talk about him much longer, but that's what it is.
You know what I mean?
That's a story that I'll definitely be a champion.
We gets busy. What's your relationship with Puff now? Oh, it's great. Great. You know what I mean? That's a story that where I'll definitely be a champion. You know, we gets busy.
What's your relationship with Puff now?
Oh, it's great.
Great.
We're always great.
I mean, we don't talk every day because he's in a different space than I am.
But, you know, when we see each other, it's always love, you know?
I don't feel like the Hitmen get mentioned in the world of great,
all-time great producers like they probably should.
Yeah, we probably don't.
One, because people think it was a lot of us.
People think, like, all we did was take a loop
and loop it up and make people rap on it.
I mean, my man Team Lightskin was there.
He know what the shit really take to make records.
You know what I mean?
And I think it's because it was a lot of us
because it was Puff Daddy and the Hitmen as opposed to.
And then, you know, people like myself,
Stevie, Mario, Ron,
we wasn't worried about them shout-outs and all that.
You know, dee-da, dee-da.
At the beginning.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
And all that crazy s***.
I just wanted to check.
I'll take it from there.
You know, in hindsight now, I wish I would have had more people
yell my name out, but that was more of a, you know,
that was more of an ego thing.
As long as I got my check, my publishing was straight,
like I never did them type of deals with everybody else.
I didn't have no crazy management
deal. I didn't sell my publishing. I didn't do
none of that. So, I didn't experience what some
of these other people got to experience.
But yeah, the Hitman, like, to me,
you really can't compare. We over
200 million records sold.
You know what I'm saying?
How did y'all do beats? Was it always a collective on every beat
or did Stevie do something? Not at all.
You did something? How was it? Yeah, we walked in the room
everybody had their own vibe. Now what happens is if I
walked in and I had a vibe, I don't play keys.
But I may know how to
I know what I want to hear. So I'll play the bass
line. Two fingers though.
Boo boo boo boo boo boo. And Stevie come
and clean it up. Or vice versa. Stevie
come in and play some s***. He may say, Dot, I need some
of them drums. Or Puff may come in and say, Damn
Chucky would kill us with the keys.
Or J-Dub would kill us with the keys.
So that's how it was. It was all just, everything was
a scenario set up individually
based on what was going on. What do you think about some of the
beats that you hear now, where it doesn't seem too musically,
it just seems about four or five tracks,
and these kids are
selling millions of records?
Oh, man, I respect. I was down in Atlanta, man.
I didn't think, I just saw a car less than $100,000 down there.
I was at drama in the studio.
I was like, God damn, it's Mozzie's.
It's Benson sitting outside.
I respect them, man.
It's their moment.
I ain't one of them old school hater dudes.
It's their moment.
We had our moment.
It's their moment.
Let them live.
If they talking about bullshit,
the only thing I don't really like
is the drug-induced shit.
Like, you know, pushing the drugs on the kids
with the boy just dying the other day.
Juice WRLD, yeah.
Yeah, I ain't with all that.
You know what I'm saying?
Even back then,
when we was pushing the drugs,
we were trying to say,
you know,
there's more subjects
to talk about.
There's more things
to talk about.
So I respect this era, man.
They do their thing.
All these old heads
that's hating on these kids,
man, leave these f***ers.
That's how you know
that Mad Rap is just
a character, by the way.
Right, right, right.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I can say f*** a motherf***er in a heartbeat. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I can say f*** a mother f*** in a heartbeat.
You know what I'm saying?
That's easy.
That's like a switch with it coming.
Yo, for real.
You know what I mean?
How did the hitmen come together, though?
I mean, that was a puffy thing.
He just wanted to take over the airwaves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he called a few people together.
Why he called all of us together, you have to ask him.
That was some ingenious s***.
Like Nashim said, none of us was seasoned he saw something you know I'm saying that's
a that's a mother f***ing coach who put the team together. When did y'all come around?
It was before Ready to Die or after? Well he had Chucky and
Rashad and Trackmasters during Ready to Die but Trackmasters went off
did they thing right he had Rashad and Chuckyters during Ready or Die but Trackmasters went off the date thing.
Right.
He had Rashad and Chucky.
I don't really know
what happened with Rashad
over the years.
Chucky stayed around
and did Mary and Faith
and then somewhere in 96
after I'm on,
you know,
I was managing Mary
with him back then
going to road.
He just called a meeting.
I don't know where
he found Stevie J.
I met Stevie J through him.
Ron Lawrence was my man
and I knew Nashim
since Howard days
and he called the four of us together.
I was like, how the f*** did he figure that out?
And called him to a meeting and said, yo, let's do it.
That's what the Hitman documentary is going to be about.
We got a documentary coming.
Hitman, yeah, all of us.
So that's what that's going to be about.
Telling them other stories.
Them other stories, like how the beats was made.
The real s*** behind the artists, you know.
The who ain't writing, who's writing, who really ain't writing. Wow, wow y'all gonna put it out there like that it's them time and days we might as well
is calling everybody every type of names and doing all types of crazy oh you need to tell us who
wasn't writing now just give us one who wasn't writing when you say wasn't writing what you mean
you said wasn't right so i'm saying i'm saying like for, you know, somebody, we may be in the studio,
let's say LOX, they writing their rhymes.
If the rhymes is done, the song could be over because they wasn't hook writers.
So we had to come in and help and do hook writing.
Or there might be a situation where you're in the studio with somebody like a Black Rob and it may take them a while to finish the record.
So somebody else may come in with an idea.
He ain't writing down verbatim what they said,
but it may be an idea that you could take
and go to the next level.
You know what I'm saying?
So my thing is, when people say you can't be great
and all this other stuff,
everybody has help in the studio.
Everybody.
Now you see, Big didn't have no help.
Big didn't have nobody helping his rhymes,
but don't think that Big was just sitting there all day.
Everything came out of his brain and his brain only.
Like, let's be real.
Television could influence it.
Something happened with his boys
could influence it.
Or I could have been
sitting right there.
Remember, I was a rapper
three, four years
before he came out.
I'm in two kings of the cypher.
You don't think I ain't
sitting up there
yelling something that felt good?
Or another rapper ain't
sitting in there
yelling something good?
Or even DJ Clark Kent
sitting in there like,
he been around rapping
since we was 14 years old.
Clark Kent made it, you know?
So, yeah, it's real.
Jay-Z, you heard the stories of Jay-Z with Sauce Money
and all of them sitting in the studio.
I don't think when you, that's the reason why you surround yourself
with all these MCs.
They're still shopping still.
Yeah, why the f*** am I having all these MCs around me
and we all just going to go to a corner on your mark and set go?
Come on, that s***, that s*** sound crazy to me.
And everybody know Diddy didn't, right?
Diddy excited himself.
Well, Diddy was never MC.
He was entertainer.
You know what I'm saying?
He was more in the Hammer style.
Like, let's put together.
He was a package dude.
His packages was crazy.
All right, we got more
with D-Doc, Derek Angeletti.
When we come back,
don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
I remember hitting
a mall with a whole team.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with D-Doc, Derek Angeletti.
Who's the best person you work with in the studio
that you were super impressed by?
Besides B.I.G.?
Probably Mason LL.
Super professional LL walking the studio.
He got to be there 9-8, 8-59, ready to go.
You know,
Murder.
Murder was just,
Murder wanted it.
Y'all can't tell?
Murder wanted that shit.
Murder would come and sit with me
even when he wasn't in session.
D-Dy, what's that?
What you doing?
Can you do,
you add an extra bass?
Can you do that to Maju?
Like, you know,
he just was the greatest student ever.
So Murder.
What happened with Mase?
Because we all knew
Mase was one of the
biggest artists
and then he just went out.
So I know you were
behind the scenes.
What happened at that time?
The honest truth.
I think,
first of all,
he was a baby
to start there.
All right?
And you got a bunch
of things coming at you.
Riches,
chicks,
extortion, trying to handle business,
which is probably the thing that umbrellas it all.
You're trying to handle your business out here,
and you don't know it.
How can I handle something I don't know?
Put all that in a pot, stir it up,
and then say, come on, man, let's go.
17 artists wanting you to put them on. What i was the name of the group harlem world his sister's on neighbor crossed the hall 604 you were 603 it's
like golly i'm adam 21 the extortion part is big too because you're a young kid from harlem the
streets leaning on you because they seen you getting all this money all them harlem dudes
getting that money saying,
oh, young man, you was talking all that?
Yeah.
We need something the 1st and the 15th.
Damn.
I'm not saying that happened, but I'm saying I'm sure it could have.
Strong possibility.
Because it happened to everybody in Brooklyn.
There was some old heads that, you know, when you get a little large,
I'm pulling up.
You know what I mean?
And they giving you that look like we going to get you.
So you got to make some phone calls to some other people say yo man i need you to take you know look
out for me over here happens all of us men the best of them got robbed extorted i don't care
first of all the hip-hop to me all these gangsters in this hip-hop it's a joke real gangsters ain't
trying to rap or make no beats so all these dudes know, I seen dudes come up here like super tough.
I hit you one time.
I was like, come on, man.
We know what it is.
There's nothing wrong with being corny.
Nothing wrong with it.
I'm the poster boy for it, fam.
And it's splendor.
But being a punk is different.
I ain't no punk.
I ain't going to sit up here and, you know,
see you after this, you know. Come on, fam. I ain't no punk. I ain't going to sit up here and, you know, see Envy, see you after this.
Come on, fam.
We rappers.
We producers.
Let's have some fun.
Mess with some chicks.
Get some money.
All this tough guy shit ain't working.
And that's what's happening with these kids.
We sent the message that you got to be this super tough guy.
So then some of these rappers, they went so,
I can't do this tough.
So I'm going to go so left.
Put on a skirt.
We messed it up for these youngers, man.
They don't even know how to have an identity right now.
It's either be tough or be, you know, heels and a skirt.
How do you find a balance with that, though?
Because Big, the greatest lyricist of all time, most people say,
he would say some wild stuff on records.
Yeah, he said some crazy shit.
I'm going to f*** you, Paul, before I f*** some ugly-ass escape bitches.
You look so good, I'll suck on your daddy's s***.
Why f***ing didn't nobody look at that like,
pause, whatever that is?
Don't think behind the scenes, Cassie.
F*** it.
Please, let's set the record straight.
Where's the camera?
We said a whole big, oh, God, big,
you know what that's going to say?
But you know what?
At the end of the day,
that probably was one of the most authentic
do as possible.
So me and Puff being in the studio with him,
if you think it, say it.
And we'll curve it.
Because he did have some records where he was talking about,
you know, killing babies and all types of shit.
We had to say, you know, that.
That a kidnap kids,
put them in their ass, come over the bridge.
Oh, God.
You talking about your skin curling in the studio?
Like, damn, B.I.G.
But who he was, I think that's probably the one rapper we knew who he was
while it was going on as opposed to later on figuring it out.
Like, I hear all this stuff about Nipsey now, like, you know,
legend, whatever.
I don't know if they figured him out while it was happening.
I did.
So while Big was going on, we sent him to him like,
this is special.
So we knew.
So, okay, go ahead and say it.
But we'll just put our head down when you say it.
But go ahead, go for it.
But even on, like, who shot you, there was some lines changed.
You know, we had a debate up here maybe like a year or two ago
about who the top five bad boy lyricists of all time.
And I had Big number one, of course.
Jadakiss number two.
Styles at three.
I had Black Rob at number four
and Sheik at five.
I had Big.
Of course.
Jada.
Yes.
Murder.
Styles.
And then I would have to say Sheik.
I f***ed your list.
I would just switch Rob.
Rob with who?
Last. You put Rob after Sheik? Before Sheik. Before Sheik? I f***ed your list. I would just switch Rob. Rob with who? She put Rob after Sheik?
Before Sheik.
That's why I had Rob at four.
You didn't have Murder in there.
Murder is disgusting.
Okay, so you got Rob at four.
Five.
You got Rob at five.
He said Big, Kiss, Murder, Styles, Rob.
So Sheik ain't top five?
No.
Not for me, but the Lox is the illest group ever, besides Code Crush to me.
Why you say that?
In the little mob, in the little Migos.
Wu-Tang?
You said Migos?
You said Migos?
I love the Migos.
Okay, okay.
This generation.
I'm going to let them have their time.
Yes, they do.
But no.
The Lox was a throwback.
I mean, Kiss said it best.
I can name you five clones that won because of him alone.
Styles was, first of all, Styles was Big's favorite artist out of the three.
He was so unorthodox.
And don't get me wrong.
I love Sheik.
Sheik was, his energy and his words
was the combination of what made him.
So when you look at them, Kiss just, it was just Kiss.
Styles, you don't know what flow is coming next.
It was like, take a guess.
And then Sheik, it was like, all right, strapping,
it's a rollercoaster ride.
So to me, and I've seen a lot of groups,
and I mean, there's a lot of groups,
but you're talking about three MCs that were all nice.
When you think about all the groups out there,
there was always a disparity between who was nicest
and, you know, somebody like, you know,
somebody was nicer than the other.
I feel what you're saying.
Like with Wu-Tang, you got a ghost face.
That's a you guy.
No disrespect to you guys.
You know what I'm saying?
You got the top four, and then you got the rest of them.
In the locks, it was like, pick your poison.
So your list would be big, kiss, murder.
Kiss, murder.
Kiss, murder is like, you know what I mean?
What you mean?
Kiss and murder, like, in other words,
if I'm a scout, and I'm looking for an MC for my team.
I can go grab Kiss.
I'm fire.
But what ain't I getting?
I see what you're saying.
Mase had, I guess, more of the star power, so to speak.
More potential to experiment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kiss stayed in his lane.
Kiss stayed in his lane.
Mase could do a... Mase stepped out of his box. Tell me what you want. And then step back in, yeah, yeah. Kidd stayed in his lane. Kidd stayed in his lane. Mace could do a tell me what you want.
And then step back in, step back out.
So I got to say to myself, how far can I expand with this play?
In other words, somebody can get up and hit right-handed.
He can get up and hit left-handed.
That's dope.
But he may not hit 50 home runs.
Whereas a dude that hit right-handed, he may hit 50 every year, but he's only
hitting right-handed, and he's only hitting home runs.
But Kidd's gonna give you 20 years.
Kidd's gonna give you five. Well, based on what
we know now, in hindsight.
Yeah, in hindsight. But you wouldn't have known that
then. True. And that's why you put Mace over Styles,
because Mace is more versatile, I guess.
Yeah, and just super
hot. I mean, all of them.
To me, all of them dudes were special dudes.
That's why, you know, to me, that was the greatest A&R position anybody could have.
Yeah.
I played for the Yankees.
I was a coach for the Yankees.
I was Billy Martin.
All right, we got more with D-Dot, a.k.a. the Mad Rapper.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Yeah, yeah.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with D-Doc, Derek Angeletti.
Charlamagne?
What are your thoughts about Black Rob?
Black Rob is crazy ill, but he was a wild cowboy.
Right.
You're talking about wild cowboy.
Like, Black Rob went to jail while he was signed for doing a crime.
And it wasn't like he was broke.
Rob was such a great storyteller to me, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Crazy. Crazy. Which't like he was broke. Rob was such a great storyteller to me, man. He was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Crazy. Crazy. Which, fast forward to now, so when I'm listening to the YBN
Cordae's, you know what I'm saying?
Or when I did the band Hunter Izzy record,
it kind of reminds
me, that was a 20-year gap, so it kind of reminds
me that we're seeing
a new era, just like the drugs. Remember back
in the 80s, how crazy the drugs
was? And in the 90s came, we kind of chilled off the heavy drugs.
We smoked weed, but it was like, yo.
Yo was selling them.
Selling it, not doing it.
Not using, yeah.
Doing it.
Now, it's look like the 80s again.
If you ain't doing lean, you a sucker tash.
Or opioids.
Or opioids.
Or all other pills.
And if you ain't promoting it.
I think people forgot crack used to be recreational.
Same way that the opioids are recreational now,
crack used to be like that.
Yeah, death is recreational now for these dudes, too.
We got to think about that shit, man, these young kids.
So at the same time, we still got to teach
because we told you how to wave your rollie from side to side.
We ain't tell you how to get the...
That's right.
And hold on to it and not have to pawn it.
Well, see, that's because a lot of artists
that waved their rollie side to side lost it
and they didn't know how to keep it.
That's my point.
We was learning as we went along.
Right, because we can't teach if we don't know.
So I watch you, right?
Mm-hmm.
You're teaching now how to buy real estate?
Real estate, mm-hmm.
A lot of people say he don't know nothing about real estate.
That's a damn lie, but anyway.
I watch it.
I got my own opinion.
I tell you after the show.
But one says that he doesn't know anything about real estate. But my point is, prior to you doing that, prior to you doing that, just on some real
do, you've been mobilizing yourself.
You've been moving cars and houses and doing whatever, but you ain't never writing no pamphlet
on it.
Correct.
So how do I get to do that, Evie?
That's why I do the real estate thing, because our people don't know how to.
And then when you start teaching how, same thing with the contracts. There's artists
still out there signing horrible contracts.
Yo, you sign that? Did you get a lawyer?
Did you actually read it?
Oh, nah. Oh, nah.
Like, reading is a problem
for us. You know what I'm saying?
So we gotta read. We know your parents always tell you,
in my days, they'd tell me if you want to hide
some money from a black person, put it in a book.
Put it right in the book, which is crazy.
But I respect these new kids now because this is their moment.
Like, cats from my era, we got to stop with let's go back to that shit.
Let's go back.
Because there were snakes and vultures during that era, too.
Black snakes.
Black vultures.
All types of shit.
We can't sit up there, all this culture vulture shit like it was only white dudes. Come on, man.
I know an artist right now from back
in the 80s that's still chasing fly tie for his
Coachella money. Come on, man.
Stop, man. Word to my daughters.
That's
some crazy shit right there.
That's the type of shit that's going on. You think fly tie still got
that money? I have no clue, but the fact
that somebody can even say that
with all this shit going on, like we all
sitting around and we all taking care of each other
and the white man's just sitting up there
stealing from us. Meanwhile,
myself, you probably, you probably,
Jay Puff, we can look to
left or right and see one white dude
that helped me make my millions and I'm shaking
his hand and sending him Hanukkah and Christmas
gifts every year. That is a total fact.
Donnie Aina to this day, they used to do something.
He still sends me a Christmas gift because we made some fucking money together.
And that is the most important thing to them in business.
Black, blue, green, or white.
So, you know, yeah, we got vultures in our shit too.
That's respect that he still send you a Christmas present.
Man, listen, that's why I can't be the guy out here talking about the Dane Dash shit.
I can't do that.
What do you think about that?
I know you've been around Dane before.
Yeah.
One of the smartest dudes I ever met.
I don't know where it's at.
And I don't want to judge it just on the videos,
but I do know that shit look crazy, Dane.
Because Lior's one of the greatest producers in hip-hop history
is Rick Rubin.
White and Jewish.
Who going to front on him?
Dare you.
I dare you.
You have more black people sticking up for him than white people.
How you going to front on Lior?
Yeah, he probably did some foul shit.
But how many millionaires did he make?
There's a lot of people, families, like my grandkids are straight because of these dudes.
Can't front on them.
It's called whipped cream coming soon.
I agree with you,
but I do agree with Dame on one point,
but I think it goes back to what you were saying
about how people just didn't know
the business. There should be more
heads of urban music that
are black. Heads of urban music
at all these countries shouldn't be white. Why should there be?
Because of the groundwork that the brothers laid
in the 80s and the 90s,
in the early 2000s.
Why can't you be the head of urban music somewhere, D-Dot?
I can.
They'll never let you be the head of country.
They'll never let me be the head of urban either.
Me, I got told I wouldn't be.
I couldn't come work for you.
By two executives, black and white.
I'm too abrasive.
See, we can have a head of black music,
but he has to be a certain type of head of black music.
He's in a square.
Gotta be a square.
You gotta be a house nigger.
Kaza's not a square, though.
Kaza's not a square, but Kaza ain't abrasive.
It's a difference.
I get what you're saying.
Kaza ain't in there banging on his table.
Man, go f*** yourself, man.
This is how we do.
I love Kaza.
Kaza's an executive that should be getting awards.
But you know he ain't in there
f***ing causing turmoil
like Dame would have been.
Or like D-Dot would have been.
How dare you put that video
out without... That's the type of s*** I'm doing.
Not no meetings, not no conference call,
not no emails. Somebody five
doors down, I'm gonna knock on your f***ing
door. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
So, no.
So, no, we all can't be running black music.
Now you got a new project coming out?
Well, it's out right now.
I appreciate that.
Hold on, before you get there, let's talk about the Mad Rapper something, man.
That's what he was talking about.
Oh, yeah, I mean, I know that's a new project, but I'm talking about initially.
Okay, initially, yeah, let's do it.
How did that Mad Rapper thing happen?
Oh, man, Mad Rapper.
East Coast, West Coast.
We sent in a studio one day.
And you know, Junior Mafia got it.
Chimney.
It looked like we need to call the fire department.
Yeah.
And back then, videos got announced.
Remember, you would make an announcement.
Some intern came running in.
They about to show the video.
What video?
Death Row new video.
All right. You know. Must have been New York, New video. What video? Death Row new video. All right.
You know.
Must have been New York, New York.
Hit him up.
Hit him up.
Oh, shit.
I knew that was coming, though.
Some of us did.
Like, video that far?
We going that far?
We going that far.
Crickets.
And Big just says, I know what to do.
He was getting ready to go right in.
Pump your brakes.
This is why when the Drake Pusha Beef came up,
this is why people like me and Puff stepped up.
Because right then and there,
that was the green light for us to go hamburger, hamburger.
We dressed too nice for this.
I got on slipping slides.
I'm going to get my ass bussed.
We're just going to go in the studio
and we're going to make 27 joints in a row.
So every time they speak up,
pow,
what the f*** is that, hit record?
Now, who shot you?
Who shot you?
Was that about Pac?
Honestly.
I don't know, but I would bet,
I'm a gambling man,
I bet the say had a lot to do with it somewhere in there.
But I wasn't, you know, sitting right then and there when he wrote it.
But I could tell you there was some shit in there
that I would have took it personal if I was Pock and them two.
Easy.
How did you feel around that time, period?
Tense time?
Pock was a thespian.
An actor.
He was an actor.
But not to people around him.
One of the greatest artists to ever do it.
Period in the story.
Can't front on that.
But you also see a confused child.
Young.
Remember, we talking about Cass is 20-something years old.
That's a more 42-year-old guy.
Married with kids.
We talking about babies.
So I saw a great Great great artist
One of the greatest
Artists that ever do it
Probably top three
Of all time
But I also saw a young kid
That just needed to be
Guided
I just wish a lot of these kids
Had better guidance
That's why somebody like me
Is here all games aside
Mad rap
All that good shit
I'm ultimately a teacher
And I just can't sit around
And watch
Some of this shit happen
Especially
The misconceptions
That it's everybody else's fault but ours.
We can't push that.
We got to do something.
It had to be wild back then
because Pac was cool with Nas,
cool with Big,
and then all of a sudden it just...
Yeah.
But he's the blueprint
for how to go about the disrespect.
I mean, they went there.
His wife, he took her all the way there
about faith. They took it there. How true, what was true. I mean, who knows? I'm just they went there. His wife, he took her all the way there. About faith and, you know, they took it there.
How true, what was true.
I mean, who knows?
I'm just saying, wow, that was a lot.
And the respect that Big had for him.
I mean, to this day, I can tell you myself personally,
Big cried when he died and was trying to tell the world,
I love this dude.
He taught me a lot.
I don't know what is happening here.
Like, we were all so confused.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, so I could definitely tell you that personally.
Like, I know that for a fact.
For real, man.
Now let's talk about this new project.
All right, cool.
I love it.
Appreciate the hate.
What made you get back in the studio and get back to it?
Same thing.
My whole career, I've been introducing
new people from Kanye to 50.
I was always the
Black Dean Smith.
I'm with him in college.
I'm going to teach him
all the fundamentals.
I'm going to get
they stock up
so you top three,
top four draft pick.
Then I'm going to move
to the next dude.
And hopefully,
we six up on him.
It only takes one.
It's available now?
It's available now. It's available now everywhere.
Streaming everywhere.
Crazy Cat Records.
Well, we appreciate you for joining us.
I love y'all, man.
Thank you.
D-Dot?
Yes, sir.
D-Dot, Angeletti.
Yes, Breakfast Club.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On the Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Now, ASAP Rocky was back in Sweden for his performance,
and when he touched down, this is what he said.
I'm in Stockholm right now.
I'm doing my concert, my first concert,
after being locked up out here.
Everybody from the immigrant community,
what they call the immigrant community out here,
none of y'all got to pay to come to my show today.
Now, what they're saying is what they had told me,
is that the immigrant community, I guess, is like
the projects, and he's saying anybody from that area
gets in the show for free.
Doesn't have to pay. He took care of
everybody's ticket who
is from the immigrant community.
He's better than me, because I would never have
stepped foot in Switzerland ever again.
Sweden.
One of them places that start with an S.
As he was performing, he stopped and he said this
while he was on stage. I brought you here today
for love and unity.
Today is people
who are fortunate enough to buy
tickets to this show today.
And to you people, I thank you for coming.
Today,
there was people who couldn't afford it and they still
made it here and I love you people who came
and couldn't afford it.
The whole message today, spread love and have fun tonight.
You hear me?
There you have it.
I don't think I would have went back to perform.
I like what he did.
I like his intention for going there.
Salute to A$AP for that.
Drop on the Clues Bounce for A$AP Rocky.
But I still wouldn't have stepped foot in that country ever again.
No, I don't think I would have either.
I'm cool on that.
Well, Lionel Richie, he sat down with Kelly Clarkson
on the Kelly Clarkson show
and they talked about Stevie Wonder
and he doesn't believe Stevie Wonder's really blind.
Stevie, I've been spending my
whole life with him thinking, he can see.
I know he can see. The story I tell
that's the funniest, I went to his house,
he says, wanna hear a new
song? I've got it in the car, come on, go with me.
We go out to the car, he says, you sit on the passenger side, I've got it in the car. Come on, go with me. We go out to the car.
He says, you sit on the passenger side.
I'll sit on the driver's side.
He goes in.
He cranks the car up.
He puts the tape in.
And then he does this.
And starts driving back down the driveway.
No, sir.
And I screamed, said, Stevie, what are you doing?
And he said, I got you, didn't I?
I mean, I've been saying that.
But I think all his other senses are so heightened that he probably, you know.
Can do what, drive?
He probably sees more than us, to be honest with you.
I saw Stevie back in the day.
What you mean?
And what senses you going to use to drive, bro?
I don't know.
Hearing, smell.
When you go smell, smell a number of cars, smell when it break?
Listen, I saw Stevie back in the day late at night one time in a hotel in L.A. with a bad chick.
He couldn't see.
He got good taste in women, boy.
He's stupid.
I tell you that much.
I know it wasn't his assistant or something.
No, that wasn't his assistant.
Not that time of night.
This was way before social media was a thing.
Why are you snitching on Stevie?
I ain't snitching on Stevie.
Stevie ain't married or nothing.
How do you know?
Only thing that makes me think Stevie
wanted this blind is his hair. Because there's no way
in hell if you could see you be walking around looking like
Jeezy in the front and 2 Chainz in the back.
My goodness. Alright, now Takashi69,
he gets sentenced next
week, December 18th.
He wrote a letter to the judge. He says,
Judge, I felt stuck
like the gang had control of my life
and that I would never be able to escape their grip.
He also said, I needed to do something before it was too late.
Before my arrest, I publicly disassociated myself with the nine trade, but I knew that it would come with a price.
He did that on a breakfast club, by the way.
I knew from previous incidents that the gang would retaliate against me for denouncing them in public.
I know that I'm not a victim
because my actions contributed to this mess.
I now know that
I am remorseful for what happened because
I was blessed with the gift of an opportunity
that most people dream of, but I
squandered it by getting involved with the
wrong people and misrepresenting myself
when I should have been true to myself
and my fans.
And he apologized. All that sounds good,
but you still got to go pay your debt to society.
All right?
Go do them two, three years.
Well, he gets sentenced next week.
I think he'll get time served.
I think he'll get three to five.
Okay.
And he's already done a year,
so he'll be out probably next year sometime.
All right.
We'll do another year.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
Now, shut up, man!
Yes.
Who you giving that down?
Listen, man, it really grinds my gears.
Grinds your gears.
When people do things out of context.
And Trump's reelection campaign did something out of context yesterday,
but we're going to put it back in context for you.
All right, we'll get into that next.
And then after that, ask C&E.
That's right, Angelia is out.
So if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, ask C&E.
Come on on now.
Give me why you can't because my last day is next
Wednesday. 800-585-1051.
It's the Breakfast Slogan Morning.
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total
and complete shutdown of Muslims
entering the United States. Wouldn't you love to see
one of these NFL owners when
somebody disrespects our flag to
say, get that son of a bitch off the field
right now. Out. He's fired.
He's fired.
Please step up to the congregation.
Yes, you are a devil.
When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
They're bringing drugs.
They're bringing crime.
They're rapists.
These are jackasses.
Yes, don't give the day for Thursday, December 11th
goes to Donald Trump's re-election campaign.
What day is it?
Oh, don't give the day for Thursday, December 12th
goes to Donald Trump's re-election campaign
for being absolutely culturally clueless, okay?
But trying to act like they know what the hell is going on
out here in these comic book, comic movie streets.
Now, y'all know I love Marvel, okay?
Drop one of the clues bombs from Marvel Comics.
Only reason I bought Disney Plus, all right?
By the way, automatically my family's favorite streaming service.
Y'all got Disney Plus in your house yet, Envy?
Yes.
Oh, my God. Between my daughters and I, Disney Plus is all we got time for when those smart TVs are on.
I also have a tattoo of Wolverine on my right arm, and I want to get it removed,
but I only want to get it removed because I want to get it done over.
All right,
I got this tattoo years ago
when tats were illegal
in South Carolina
and now technology
for tats is way better.
Yeah,
that's trash.
It is trash.
It's terrible.
Yeah,
they were illegal
in South Carolina.
You forget you're only
20-something years old,
Drum.
Leave my 41-year-old life.
Leave me the hell alone.
They were illegal?
You know,
they were illegal?
Y'all had pagers?
Anyway.
I just want to get it done over, okay?
I got this tattoo years ago
when tats were illegal,
like I said.
And, you know,
I just don't think
I can stand that pain
at 41 years old.
So I probably won't
get it done over.
I'll just leave it at this.
Also, you can check
my Comic Kings podcast
with my man Gabe.
I'm saying all that to say
I love comic books.
And I don't like when people
clearly don't know
what the hell they talking about with anything
comic related, especially the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, because it's so easy to follow.
Now, we have all seen Avengers
Endgame, right? Who in this room hasn't seen Avengers
Endgame? Raise your hand. I fell asleep on it, though.
Three people? How the hell you fall asleep on four
people? I mean, it's only the highest
grossing movie of all time.
I fell asleep. My God.
Well, yesterday, a Twitter account managed by Trump's
re-election team posted a produced clip with
the celebrity-in-chief Dope 45's
head superimposed over
Thanos' body. We all know
the Democrats have introduced articles of impeachment
against Donald Trump, which will
eventually make him the fourth president able to
be impeached, joining Andrew Jackson,
Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and now Donald
J. And the J stands for jackass.
Well, Trump's re-election campaign posted
Trump's head on Thanos' body with this
scene from Endgame. All my comic
movie heads will know exactly what this
is because it was the climax of the
whole movie. Let's hear it.
I am inevitable.
On this solemn day,
I recall that the first order of business for members of Congress...
I am inevitable. That's what it said.
House Democrats can push their sham impeachment all they want.
President Trump's re-election is inevitable.
Text Trump to 88022, and then you saw Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and a few other Democrats just all fade to dust.
Now, this would have been real cute, except for one thing.
Number one, Trump is facing impeachment.
I don't think he will ever be removed because that Republican Senate isn't having it.
But I'm a stern believer that the universe tends to clean itself up, okay?
Getting what you deserve is inevitable.
And I don't see this Trump presidency ending well.
And I think Trump's reelection campaign, whether they know it or not,
they just predicted it.
Because if you know anything about Endgame,
then you know this scene of Thanos snapping his fingers,
saying he's inevitable, didn't end well for Thanos.
Okay, can we play the original clip from Endgame and I'll explain it for the people in this room who didn't see it.
I am inevitable.
Nothing there.
Yeah.
That's right.
Tony Stark's got the best of them.
I am Iron Man.
What was Batman?
That's how I feel after I drink sea moss.
When I pop some sea moss pills from Dr. Sebi, I am Iron Man.
Now, guys and gals, at the end of Endgame, Thanos thinks he has all the stones.
He snaps his fingers, thinking he's going to wipe away all the competition.
But Tony Stark's had his own Infinity Gauntlet that he created,
and the technology on his gauntlet was merged with the stones.
So Tony ends up taking all the stones out of Thanos' gauntlet,
and when Thanos snaps and says he is inevitable, nothing happens.
Because Tony then looks at Thanos and says, I am Iron Man.
He snaps his fingers and wipes out Thanos and his whole team.
I see the confusion in everybody's face in this room,
but I'm not talking to y'all.
I'm talking to the hundreds of millions of people around the world
who saw Avengers Endgame already, okay?
They understand exactly what I'm talking about.
This is like superimposing your head on the guy who shot Ricky from Boys in the Hood's body.
All right?
You do know eventually he, too, gets killed.
This is like superimposing your head on Scar from The Lion King's body.
You do know the hyenas eat Scar's ass up
at the end of the movie, right?
The moral of the story is Thanos loses, all right?
This is the scene right before he fades to dust,
which is exactly what people are hoping happens to Trump in 2020.
Thank you, Trump's re-election campaign,
for putting that kind of energy in the universe, all right?
Trump losing next year, according to y'all, is inevitable.
Please let Rumi Ma give Trump's re-election campaign
the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother...
Are you dumb?
Grab the mic, Steve.
I know you voted for Trump.
What do you got to say?
Thanks for spoiling the movie for me, bro.
It's the highest grossing movie of all time.
Everyone saw it except for you,
Envy, and Dramos.
A Puerto Rican, a black man, and a white
person. Steve, I heard Batman
saved the day, though, so don't worry about it.
That did not happen.
Batman wouldn't survive a day in the Marvel Universe, sir.
I heard Batman and Superman came down
and Wonder Woman helped him.
None of that happened.
Howard the Duck was there, though. Wased all of them. None of that happened. None of that happened.
Howard the Duck was there, though.
Was he?
Yeah, Howard the Duck was there.
In the final scene of Avengers Endgame, Howard the Duck is there with a gun.
Really?
Yeah, that's a fact.
You want to bet?
You didn't even see the movie, but I'm telling you what happened.
Howard the Duck was there.
I didn't see Howard the Duck either.
Yeah.
All right.
I believe it.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Up next, Ask CNE. Yeah. All right. I believe it. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Next, ask CNE.
800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice.
Any type of advice.
You're dealing with two experienced men here.
There you go.
Two experienced married men with children.
We know some things out here.
We've lived a little life.
All right. I mean, don't ask him to be nothing about real estate.
He knows nothing about that, though.
That's right.
Okay.
It's all about Charlamagne all the time.
It is definitely about me.
See?
Yes.
All right.
All right, but when we come back, ask C&E.
When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club.

I want to ask you something.
Shout out to Angela Yee. Okay. Allfly? I want to ask you something. Shout out to Angela Yee.
Okay.
All right.
I want to ask you something.
Me?
I miss you when you came through, but you said you have a job for me.
I didn't say I have a job for you.
Well, that's what the rumor was in the neighborhood when you came through.
And I said, uh-huh.
I'm going to tell Diddy running the city because that's what he told me.
No, I didn't say I got no job for you.
You all didn't promise me jobs?
Yeah.
Well, Butterfly used to work at Rochdale Chicken and Shrimp.
Fish.
Chicken and Fish.
And I went over there to support my man DJ Starks.
And I know Butterfly worked there.
She's a listener.
So I said, where Butterfly at?
And I yelled in the hood.
Maybe you was coming to give me my job back.
And he told me you got a job for me.
He lied to you, butterfly.
I ain't got no jaw for you.
Oh, now I'm going to curse him out.
Okay, I'm about to call him.
But anyway, I wanted to tell you that and tell Angie I said hi, Sam.
Okay, I will let her know.
Okay, thank you, and love you.
And we love you back.
All right, baby.
Hello, who's this?
It's King Korn, man.
What's up, guys?
What's up, bro?
What's up, King?
Holler at us, man.
Ask C&E.
All right, so you know, I called like two weeks ago
because I got y'all Cancun trip.
Oh, you booked a trip with us?
And we called to talk about this two weeks ago.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You said you had nobody to go with, man.
You still ain't got nobody to go with?
Oh, man, let me tell you something. Tribe didn't make this any easy for me. Well, this two weeks ago. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He said he had nobody to go with, man. He still ain't got nobody to go with? Oh, man, let me tell you something.
Trav didn't make this any easy for me.
Well, this is your fault.
This is your fault, Envy.
Could you, grown-ass man, please stop sending penis pictures and videos to my DMs, please?
Who the hell sent penis pictures?
Nah, because he said he liked Trav, so we said maybe you should ask Trav.
That's what you said.
Bro, this segment is about Ask TNE, yo.
Do you want to know how to send a good penis picture?
Because I can't help you with that.
I know how to do that already.
But I'm asking.
I should have narrowed down my search
for somebody to go to Cancun.
My Instagram, again,
underscore T-Y-Y-W.
Yeah, don't base who you take to Cancun
off of a penis picture, okay?
Because the penis picture
Alright, we're gonna try this one more time
You hold on, man, we hold on
We'll make sure they send mad penis pictures to you, bro
Yeah, because it may be a pretty penis
But you gotta be with this person for a few days
Like, you need somebody with a good personality, King
That's true, hello, who's this?
Hi, my name is Ashley
Ashley, what's your question for Sini?
How you doing, Ashley?
I'm good, I'm good.
All right, so I'm 29.
I've been separated for three years, married for five,
and I recently found out that my ex or my, whatever, my ex-husband,
that he is bisexual.
Okay.
He likes men and women.
Right.
Mm-hmm.
So with that being said, his behavior has changed.
And, like, we kind of don't know how to deal with each other.
It's more or less like he's acting like a real beast.
Like, now I got to deal with a female.
And before, it was a whole different person.
Well, listen, I don't like your attitude about this.
And I'm going to tell you why.
You know how that makes people act, right?
You done started acting funny because you was getting some good D, okay?
So you should be able to relate to that man even more now.
That shouldn't drive y'all apart.
Oh, God.
Listen, so my question is, how do I get him to be a little bit more easy?
How do I deal with him in terms of, like, how do I be patient?
Because I don't know.
I don't follow women.
Like, I don't know how to.
He's not a woman.
He's a man.
You got to deal with him the same way.
He's just a dogmatized person.
Stop looking at it from a gender perspective and just think from the perspective of being dogmatized.
You've been there.
You can relate. You need to look
that man in his eyes and say, look, man, I understand
how that good D can get you, but you
acting funny with me, son.
Good luck, though. Good luck.
I don't understand why this is such a complicated conversation.
Now y'all got more in common.
You like penis, he likes penis.
It's different when you
were really dealing with someone and now they've
changed.
Or maybe you have changed.
Maybe you feel a way now because you
understand that he's just not giving D to you.
Have you ever been bisexual? You ever been
with a woman? Of course. I am, actually.
From the beginning. Oh my god!
So y'all both share the best
of both worlds. He like penis
and poom poom. You like penis and poom poom. You can't be mad at him. You like penis and poom poom.
He might feel the same way.
You hating, yo.
You hating because he getting more D than you nowadays.
You all hate it.
You sound like a hater.
You a hater, yo.
You a hater.
You a hater.
I'm going to be out of it with you.
Goodness gracious.
Ask C&E.
800-585-1051.
If you a hater, we'll take your calls too.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ En Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're in the middle of Ask C&E.
If you got questions, you can hit us up.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, I said my name is Anonymous.
Hey, Anonymous, what's your question for C&E?
I don't get it.
We're on the radio.
Nobody can see you, but whatever.
You can give a fake name.
I know, but my name is just so unique.
You know, I just can't do it.
You think Beyonce is a unique name?
Go ahead.
What's your question, mama?
I'm glad I got y'all to today.
It's a good question.
What's up?
Okay, so I've been with my boyfriend for, we're in our 10th year right now.
10 years.
Congratulations.
Oh, you know, thanks.
We have three kids together.
Okay.
And he, when we first started dating, we both established that we didn't want to get married.
It was just like, I think we were both young and it was, hey, we just date and let's have fun.
We didn't see that we'd be together 10 years.
So now my values have changed and I want to get married.
And he's in that, why fix something that.
Ain't broken.
Yeah.
And,
but I'm looking at it
more on a,
you know,
showing your kids
that you value
your relationship
and legal standpoints too
is if anything ever
happens to me or him,
we can't go in a room.
We're not allowed there.
We have no say so,
but we know what's best
for each other.
I agree.
So,
but the thing is, but he came in this relationship for each other. I agree. So the thing is.
But he came in this relationship not thinking that he didn't want to get married
and you knew that and you didn't want to get married.
You changed up.
He ain't change up.
You sound just like my best friend.
He a dude too.
But the thing is, your values change.
That's true.
When your kids start to ask you.
Why y'all don't got the same last name.
Exactly.
Happened to me.
Exactly.
So we went looking for houses and my daughter said,
Mommy, in the next house we go in, you can't come in because you're not a blank.
She said their last name.
Wow.
It hurt my heart.
Yeah, but she was only like three or four.
Did you have that conversation with him?
He still doesn't want to get married.
Yes, but the thing is, I don't want to continue to push
because I don't want him to feel obligated.
I don't want a man to marry me out of obligation. I want him
to marry me because he feels like
we have the same values.
Right, but you already went into this relationship
and this union thinking that you didn't want to
get married, he didn't want to get married, he was cool with that.
What's the reason he doesn't want to get married?
He's just saying, like, what does a
piece of paper do for us? Like, we're both
we know that we're both for each other and we're going to be together forever. He's just saying, like, what does a piece of paper do for us? Like, we're both, we know that we're both for each other
and we're going to be together forever.
He's on the black men don't cheat.
He does not cheat.
I know this.
But the thing is, it's just like for him, it's like, why?
Why do you want me now?
I'm going to tell you something.
I think, you know, I'm sure he loves you.
I'm sure he wants to be with you for the rest of his life.
But, yeah, that's the thing when your kids come to you and your kids say,
why y'all don't have the same last name?
Like, you know, I do believe that marriage is just a piece of paper.
And y'all are already married because y'all are tied at the soul.
Correct.
But I do like the fact, I do like the, I like making it official.
I think he should make it official.
But, you know, I can't, I can't tell him to marry you.
I can only tell him to find somebody to share his life experiences with.
But he already got that.
He does.
He tells me that all the time.
He's like, hey, I want to be with you.
You're the person I want.
I don't want to be with anybody else.
But he just doesn't see the reason why, hey, we've been together this long.
It's been working.
You should tell him the reason is because you want to.
That's it.
You want to.
And your kids need that as well.
I'm all about making my woman happy.
Happy wife, happy life.
So the fact that you tell them you want to.
Don't even make it like negotiable.
Be like, y'all really want to get married.
When he asks you what you want for Christmas, I want to get married.
What you want for your birthday, I want to get married.
What you want for Valentine's, I want to get married.
Why don't you just ask him one good time?
Why don't you ask him?
Why don't you get a ring and be like, I want you to be my husband?
Don't do that.
Hell no.
Don't do that.
I'm sorry.
Don't do that.
You just got cursed on the radio?
I would never.
I would never do that.
Yeah, don't do that.
I'm not about to be a Christian Jim Jones situation.
Mm-mm.
I don't think there's anything wrong with letting him know that's what you want, though.
And if he really, really loves you and he really, because it's going to come a point in time
where he can't give you, he can buy you a house,
he can buy you purses, all that stuff. And he's done
all that. He bought me a house.
We both own our own businesses. He supports
my business so much.
And it's just like. You want that
ring? That's the only thing that I want.
I don't even need, the thing is, I don't, I can
get one of those little rings you go work out with
that's like silicone. I don't need the big jewel.
I just want to be able to share the last
name and we be a united front.
You need to go on Tidal and make you a marriage
playlist. So when y'all in the car, just songs be playing
like Let's Get Married, Beyonce,
if you like it, then you put a ring on it. Just all these songs
that got to do with marriage. Just keep beating it in his
head. Eventually he'll come around. He listens to y'all
all day. So y'all tell him
to marry me. What's his name?
What's his name? She won't say.
His name is Dwight.
Dwight, get married.
Get married, Dwight. Or what you do is you wait
right when y'all having sex, right when he's about
to **** and you stop right there
and you be like, this is only for
a married man and just walk out.
What?
No, Dwight, for real, get married.
I promise you when you get married, your life will change, man.
And not only when you get married, when you get married and you a faithful black man,
I promise you your life will transform in ways that you can't even explain.
I can't even explain to you the joy that I feel in my life right now.
Your penis gets bigger when you get married.
Oh, yeah.
Get married, Dwight.
Marry me, Dwight.
That's right, Dwight. All right, Dwight. Do what's right, Dwight. Do what's right, Dwight. Marry me, Dwight. That's right, Dwight.
All right, Dwight.
Do what's right, Dwight.
Do what's right, Dwight.
Do what's right, Dwight.
All right.
I'm with that.
When we come back, we got your rumor report.
We got to tell you about Lauren London.
All right, so don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Santa Claus.
That was Hot Girl Summer again?
This song is out of season.
I don't know why y'all keep playing that out of season song.
It's winter time.
12 days of Christmas is right around the corner, but we still talking about the goddamn summer.
Yeah, you're right.
All right, come on now.
Well, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Lauren London, please.
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, this is going to give you the chills.
Lauren London and Puma are celebrating the life of Nipsey Hussle with their new campaign, Forever Strong.
We open our hearts to the heavens.
We use our tears to cleanse our canvas.
The fear floods us.
The love is electric.
Self-inflicted pain.
We dance in the rain till the fear is drained.
Cause pain is the light.
Pain is insight.
The body hurts but the spirit grows.
The flesh is starving while wisdom overflows.
I got a question only Lord knows.
Does life birth us twice?
Mm.
Wow.
Drop on the Clues Bounce in Lower London.
God bless Lower London and her family.
Yeah.
Rest in peace to Nipsey Hussle.
Absolutely.
I know I think about them every day, if not every other day, for real.
When I was reading an article in the L.A. Times,
and Lauren said that her three-year-old son
still be asking where daddy at, my God.
Man, my goodness.
Sending nothing but positive energy and love and light to y'all.
All right, well, Matthew knows.
He did an interview, and during the interview,
he talks about Beyonce and Kelly Rowland
was sexually harassed as teens.
Now, remember, the girls are minors, 16 years old.
The guys are 21, 22 years old.
I got a call from Kelly and Beyonce,
and I talk about this in the book in detail,
saying that they were constantly being harassed
by two other members of Jacket Edge,
and I couldn't have that.
And I literally had to put
the guys off the bus in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana.
Wow, well, Jagged Edge responded with a comment.
It says, a lie, don't care
who tell it. What happened to the lights?
Steve fell asleep with the lights on.
Steve, let me tell you something. When we in here
having conversations about grown men
messing with underage girls, now is not the time to with the lights on? Steve, I'm going to tell you something. When we're in here having conversations about grown men messing with underage girls,
now is not the time to dim the lights.
My goodness.
All right?
I don't know what type of mood you're trying to set.
What the hell is wrong with this guy?
What's wrong with you, Steve?
I mean, literally, this guy turned the lights down dim when you started talking about grown-ass men
messing with underage girls.
My God.
All right.
Well, R. Kelly.
Great segue.
Great segue. I love a great radio segue. All right. Well, R. Kelly. Great segue. Great segue.
I love a great radio segue.
R. Kelly's ex, Drea, says she's suing Lifetime over surviving R. Kelly part two.
We have the audio?
Part two.
When they brought the idea to me, I let them know that in no way, shape, form, or fashion will I be a part of it.
They reached out to my children without my permission.
They reached out to my family members without my permission. And then when I brought it to them that I don't want you
contacting my children, they did it anyway. But what's more important about this is that I'm not
happy with the aftercare and how the victims and survivors were handled throughout this entire
process, even down to the bomb threat that was in New York. They put us on a bus, transported us back
to the hotel, of which we're under
our names. Then we go off to the
airport the next day. No security.
Yeah, so she is
Why is there a surviving
R. Kelly part two? I'm not
sure. Part one had
a tremendous impact on the culture.
R. Kelly ended up getting
arrested. He's in jail right now.
This is clearly just a money grab.
I'm not sure.
It's clearly just a money ratings play at this point.
But I guess it's going to document the bomb scare and a lot of that other stuff that happened.
I think they called me a couple times to be on it.
I declined.
I think Angel Lee might be on this one, but I declined.
I just didn't want to talk about R. Kelly and his ways and everything that was going on with him.
I didn't need that energy.
I just don't see the purpose of a part two.
Like, the part one did exactly what it was supposed to do.
Like, you know, R. Kelly is in jail right now.
Part two could only be being done, it's only being done for money and ratings, clearly.
All right, well, that is your rumor report.
Now, up next, we got the People's Choice Mix.
Get your request in.
Revolt, we'll see you guys tomorrow.
Everybody else, get your request in.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Let's go.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, a shout to D-Dot, Mad Rapper, for joining us this morning.
Very good conversation.
Listen, I love talking to the OGs because when the OGs have these conversations with us about what used to go on in the 90s,
like, they was really there.
You know what I'm saying?
So all of these movies that we've been watching lately
from this 90s era, guys like D-Dot were actually there.
He was one of the hitmen.
He produced all of the bad boy stuff with Stevie J
and Mario Winans and the rest of the hitmen and Diddy.
So salute to D-Dot.
I enjoyed that conversation.
Yep, absolutely.
And when we come back, positive notes to the movies, The Diddy, so salute to D-Dot. I enjoyed that conversation. Yep, absolutely. All right, and when we come back, positive notes,
no moves, The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
E-J-N-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Now, you guys have a great day today.
I mean, the Christmas holiday season.
Did you shop in yet or not yet?
Have I done my shopping?
Yeah.
Do you think that I do shopping?
You don't do shopping?
I have a queen at home, my lovely wife.
Your queen can't shop for herself.
Oh, you mean for her?
Oh, I thought you meant for this guy.
Christmas ain't about the parents, bro.
But you got to get your wife something.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Of course.
Oh, boy.
I've already reached out to my man about something like that.
Okay.
Yeah.
But, I mean, I don't know what I could possibly.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't know what I could possibly get my wife at this point.
Uh-uh.
Because all the big things are done.
Her student loans are paid off.
You know, we live a great life.
I'm blessed, bro.
I don't know what to tell you.
What do you give to a woman that has everything?
To more of what she has.
I got to ask some of her friends what she wants.
I don't know.
I'm being honest with you.
I'm not good at the Christmas thing.
Oh, I'm great at it.
Well, I know because you do that whole 13 days of Christmas thing.
12 days of Christmas, sir.
It starts this weekend.
12 days of Christmas that I do for my wife every year where every day I get her a gift.
What's the first thing you got?
I can't tell you because she's probably listening.
Oh, okay.
Saturday I get it.
But, you know, my kids, of course,
I got an 18-year-old, so I make the 18-year-old get all
the gifts for the 6 to 5 and the 3-year-old.
She handles all that. Amazon Queen.
She knows what they want. She buys it. And all I gotta
do is set it up. When did this 12 days
of Christmas thing come in then? What you mean?
Because only one day of Christmas is the 25th.
That's the day we celebrate. So where did 12 days come from?
On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.
Man, you gotta stop listening to white people, man.
White people will be saying anything to make us niggas spend their money.
That's why they told you that thing about 12 days of Christmas.
It's one day of Christmas on December 25th.
But, hey, man, if you want to start on whatever, I'm with you.
I'm going to be watching.
I'm going to be watching.
I'm going to be enjoying.
I'm going to be looking at the gram.
Like, boy, this nigga Envy is getting money.
Oh, my goodness.
You got a positive note, man?
Yeah, the positive note is save your money,
because one day your money is going to have to save you.
Okay?
Curtis, that's my man Roddy Rich said.
Yes, he right.
That's the truth.
I love it.
Here's to Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Breakfast Club, bitches!
You all finished or you 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?
Bullets.
