If we live a life where we fight our tongue based off who we may offend, we never would say anything. We don't get a damn gone throwing up. On the Breakfast Club.

In the words of Charlemagne, the guy, he's a donkey, that was... He's a fucking old. Oh, man, Charlemagne, you're giving don't a day to who now? Well, Buster Rhyams, donkey of the day for Friday, August 15th called the Little Yadi. Now, you know, on Fridays, I like to open up the phone line so the people can give folks the credit they deserve for being stupid unless something is on my spirit. And today, something is on my spirit, okay? I was minding other people's business on social media last night, and I saw that Little Yacht. was receiving some backlash after appearing on a live stream with Plaquboy Max.

Now, I don't pay attention to backlash, okay, outrage on the internet because y'all always fake mad about something online. All right, the fuel that keeps the internet going is anger. That's why you have individuals who make a living rage baiting, okay? Rage baiting you digital de-heads because they know the fastest way to garner engagement is to say something to make you mad. So I listened to what everyone was upset about, and it was the first time in a while. I was like, oh, this is valid outrage.

Okay, I completely understand why folks is upset. See, Little Yadi previewed a new song, and in that song, he had a lyric about the late George Floyd. Let's listen to the bar. Wait for it. I teard. I'm trying to go break the bank for it. Put my knee up on her neck.

I went George Floyd. I re-tweking if she's going to wait for me. Play it one more time, please. Wait for it. Wait for it. I teah. That's something to go break the bank for me. Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd.

I be tweaking, and she's able, she gonna wait for me. Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd. Yadi, how you put a hole in your own boat? Okay, are you trying to sink the boat and drown? Like, damn. No black solidarity is anything sacred? When we talk like that about situations like George Floyd, we make others comfortable to do it,

and then we get mad when others disrespect us. I'm all for freedom of speech, okay? I don't have to agree with what you said, but I agree with your right. to say it but you know what else is free shut the half up okay see i talk for a living i've always gotten it right absolutely not but it's just some things you should know not to say okay you should know not to play with somebody's loved one who the world watched die okay yada you are 27 years old and you are not a stupid young man in fact you are very bright okay i've watched you in interviews

i've watched you conduct interviews i've always thought that you had a empathy about you because of culture called hip hop, okay? People used to label you as the poster child for whack rappers, all right? Some still do. Was that fair? Probably not, but that's what it was. Okay, I've seen you have empathy for Drake when Kendrick was busting his ass last year, so I ask a simple question. Would you write a bar about Kendrick, Molly Whop, and Drake in their lyrical battle? Of course you wouldn't, because that's your man. You wouldn't want to hurt his feelings or his team's feelings. I got a better one for you. Would you write a bar about the tragic, senseless murder of the late great takeoff, of course you wouldn't, because you would have empathy for him

and how he went out. Okay, you would have empathy for his team and family. So why wouldn't you give George Floyd that same respect? Why disrespect that brother's family and friends like that? You said, put my knee up on her neck. I went George Floyd. So you decided to channel that racist ass cracker, ass cracker, Derek the devil, Chauvin, who killed George Floyd. Okay, you watched that video that the world saw. The world saw Derek the devil. shoving kneeling on George Floyd's neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds watch that man take his last breath calling for his mother and you at the big age of 27 decided you know what I'm gonna put that in a bar even if your brain thinks it immediately something got to say nah that ain't it okay

and no engineer nobody in the studio said nigger no what are you doing okay this is why you can't have a bunch of yes men around you you got to have somebody around to simply tell you no and hell no and Fno. And I know folks is out there, but Charlemagne, you believe in freedom of speech? I do, but you are not free from the consequences of said speech. You can say what you want about anybody and anything, but

you have to deal with what comes with that because there is a cost to everything that comes out of your mouth. And before you speak, you should always ask yourself, am I willing to pay this price? Now, Stephen Jackson from the All of Smoke podcast, drop on the Clues Bonds for the All of Smoke podcast. You already

know he's stepping about George Floyd every as he should every time okay he replied to little yottie yesterday and he had this to say let's listen and i'm just trying not to pay attention to you idiots man but like it's just hard bro like little yaddy bro you are you've been whacked my but you think you're saying george floyd name and trying to use his name in the bar that's going to make people like your whack-ass music my that we y'all the only area that that feel like demeaning the dead and saying that cool my It ain't, it ain't. And it's me and the whole Third Ward

and the whole Houston, Texas, riding behind G, man. Don't ever say his name, bro. Y'all none of y'all knew G. Nothing about it. But y'all want to say his name for clout. Put a knee up on shit. I do some weak-assie Yaddy. But let somebody die in your family.

We're going to do a whole skit about it and see how funny it is, bro. Cut that shit, man. It's only you wax sandbole that do shit dead. The only error that feel like demeaning the dead is okay. That is a very valid point. A little Yadi, whether you realize it or not. Everybody who knew George Floyd and loved George Floyd

feels exactly like Stephen Jackson does this morning. That line was corny. Okay, it was very coonish, all right. George Floyd got murdered, knee to the neck from Derek Chauvin, and you turned his death into a corny-ass rap bar. Okay, the bar don't even make no sense. You put your knee up on her neck. You and George Floyd?

What do you say? You want to kill her? If you don't think you upset George Floyd's family, well, Lauren Larosa got a statement from George Floyd's brother. Lauren, would you like to share what George Floyd's brother told you? Yes. Terrence Floyd said to me he wants the lyric changed. He says, let his brother rest in peace.

It has disturbed his family. People were sending him the clip all yesterday. So he had to listen to it and it disturbed him a lot. He says it's super inconsiderate. Terrence Floyd also said to us that this generation doesn't pay attention to what they say. They just want to make a song and get it on the charts. And they feel like because of who they are, people will listen and accept it. And that's not right.

It's super inconsiderate. You should think about what you're writing and make it make sense because it impacts other people. He also has a message for Lil Yadi. He says, you know, if you're going to talk about George Floyd, let there be a better message behind George Floyd's name so that his legacy can live beyond the tragedy that Chauvin caused. The best way to not have your peace disturbed is to not disturb the peace of others.

Little Yaddy, and to everyone who can hear my voice, please remember the simple golden rule we learned in grade school. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Okay, Yaddy, you want respect, you got to give it. And the root of respect is not the full, understanding of other people it is the recognition of people's non-negotiable humanity please give little Yaddy the biggest he-ha mm-ah mm-hmm all right well thank you for that donkey today I was wet very

it's just it's stupid it's just a whack line that doesn't make any sense dumb y'all right but you know today switching gears is the 4 it would be the 40th born day of the late great nipsy hustle that's right and it's only right nipsy hustle's been up here a couple of times and it's only right to get back his interview i feel like uh we should celebrate nipsy every uh opportunity we get and today is his born day today he would have been 40 years old today that's right okay and we're going to get that interview back on when we come back to don't move it's the breakfast club good morning donkey of donkey today is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney michael the bull
