The Breakfast Club - Double it or Nothing

Episode Date: July 8, 2019

The Breakfast Club is back from vacation and they had a lot to talk about it, with one being about the Detroit concert that double charged white people for tickets! so we opened up the phone lines to see what our listeners thought about it. Also we had Bashir Salahuddin & Diallo Riddle stop by, where they spoke on new series 'South Side', writing comedy and staying humbled. Also, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to the woman who decided to lick ice cream from a local freezer and then put it back.

vacation. She works seven days a week. Right. And so she doesn't know how to react on vacation. She thinks we're supposed to be doing something every moment. I'm like, just relax. Okay. She's like, what are we doing now? What are we doing now? But thanks to everybody in Bermuda who took great care of us. I took my mom and my best friend from high school took her mom

and her aunt. So it was kind of like a girl's trip, but with our moms. That's pretty cool. Yeah, we had a good time. We actually did a boat for the day. And thank you to Zane who set that up. He's the Minister of Tourism on the island. And they really, really, I think that was a highlight for them.

Just being on a boat in Bermuda. And it was the only day that it rained, but we still had fun. Okay. I was out in Jamaica. I took the family out to Jamaica. I went out to Ocho Rios, Montego Bay. I had a great time. I stayed at this place called the Moon Palace,

who had a lot of activities for kids. I had a great time. The kids had a great time. And then after that, I had to fly over to New Orleans for Essence. So we were all weekend at Essence, man. Shout out to Larry Morrow. I did so much. I just got back a couple of hours ago.

It's a lot of activity. So today is my nap day. The day after work, that's when I sleep, turn my phone off, and just recharge. I had a lot of fun, though. Yeah, it was Essence Festival. I was out there also. And I did a bowling party out there that was amazing. So Mike Kaiser, me, and Larry Murrow did our first ever bowling party on the road.

Because I do these bowling parties every now and then. Right. So we took it to New Orleans and it was an amazing time. We had fun. We had a good, I mean, I can't, what can I say? Yeah, if you ever get the opportunity, Essence in New Orleans is a great time. And it was the 25th anniversary. A lot of parties, a lot of things going on.

A lot of concerts. That's really what it's supposed to be for. But the convention center. The convention center. They talk about so much. We did a financial literacy, a guest conversation talking about different streams of income. With Revolt and AT&T.

Yeah, so we just had a great time. It's so good seeing so many people that look like you just having a good time. They're for a good cause, and I loved it. So shout out to everybody that went out to Essence in New Orleans. I made it over to the actual concert, too. Oh, did you?

Who'd you see? Yeah, I saw Nas performing. It was the night Mary J. Blige performed. Dope. In addition, Michelle Obama had a talk with Gayle King, which was really nice for their 25th anniversary. That's when I had to leave because I had to go host an event. Oh, okay. So unfortunately, it's too much going on.

It's a lot going on. They need to do that for like two weeks. Yeah, and it's hot. New Orleans is hot. Hot, hot. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front need to do that for like two weeks. And it's hot. New Orleans is hot. Hot, hot. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Let's start off talking about our Brooklyn Nets.

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.

Hello, who's this? Um, my name is Jamila. Hey, Jamila. It's your birthday today? Yes. Happy birthday, Jamila. Cancer gang, what's happening? Thank you. Hey, yes, cancer gang, Charlamagne. What's

up, y'all? It's a bad bitch birthday. Jesus Christ. You still calling one of them bitches in 2019? It's a bad bitch birthday. Jesus Christ. You still calling women bitches in 2019? It's a song. Jesus. Well, happy birthday. What you doing for your birthday, mama?

I'm going out with a friend of mine. That's it. Is he a boyfriend? Well, he's a friend. He's a friend. He's a friend that's a boy? Not yet? Yeah.

Yeah, not yet. After the night when he doesn't pay for nothing, I don't think you're going to want to take it any further. You know what? He's going to pay, all right? I'm sure he is. Unlike you, Charlamagne. I trick heavy. All right. That's new. It's not, actually. I've been tricking on my wife for 22 years.

Well, you have a good one, Mom. Enjoy your birthday. All right. Thank you. Bye. All righty. Hello, who's this? This is Chandler from Columbus, Ohio. How y'all doing this morning? Hey, Chandler. What's up? Get her off your chest, bro. I just wanted to tell you, especially you, NBL, you New York Knicks fans need to just give it up.

It's sad. That's what I said. I can't take it no more, man. I've been trying to tell them this for years. They're so damn delusional, and I tell you, one day in the future, it's going to be a guy that looks and says, the Knicks had all these great players because of all the Photoshop memes they make of people they want in Knicks jerseys.

They had all these great players, and they never won anything. Exactly. And all you Brooklyn Nets fans, Angel A.E., y'all need to be quiet. Why would we be quiet? Because y'all aren't going to be good this year. Because y'all don't get bounced in the first round. That's a fact. Because Kevin Durant will not be playing the whole year.

People also didn't think we would make it as far as we did this last season. No, listen. The Nets might not make the finals. I mean, might not make the playoffs in the East next year. And we might make it.

And when Kevin Durant comes back, I don't think Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are going to play well together because they both are such isolation basketball players. Like, one of them is going to have to change

their game tremendously to make that work. I guess we'll see. It's a lot of speculation. Yeah, I think they'll be alright. I know those games are going to be lit though. It's going to definitely put a lot of people in the stands. It's a great move on that part. Hello, who's this?

Ambria. Ambria, get it off your chest. I am so thankful. My little sister just received her second heart transplant. She's 15, though. She had her first one when she was seven. So I just wanted to send some words of encouragement to everybody to just stay strong in your faith and be kind to other people because you never know what they're going through. And a big shout out to my mom because she is so strong right now.

Okay. We wish you the best. Thank you. Have a good one, all right? You too. Thank you. 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. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

If a guy is sexually attracted to a three-year-old girl, it don't matter what she's wearing. It's not my fault. I'm enjoying my time with my family. And I think you're a little crazy. If you're looking at a picture and that's all you see, you might be one of them, bro.

Who wants to moves, man. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't live with that. They gotta get rid of James Dolan. Who wants to come play for an owner? You gotta be about to die. Who wants to come play for an owner that kicked a veteran NBA player out of

their arena? Had him dragged out. Like, nobody's coming to play for the New York Knicks. Not only that, they had an opportunity to pick up Durant. They said no, they didn't want to offer him because they didn't know what his leg was gonna be. Durant wasn't ever thinking about going to New York. You don't know that. Just like LeBron was never thinking about going to New York. Just like Anthony Davis was never thinking about going to New York. You don't know that. Just like LeBron was never thinking about going to New York. Just like Anthony Davis was never thinking about going to New York. You don't know that.

None of these people. The only people who ever say these people are coming to New York are people in New York. So what? Jesus Christ. All right. Well, Russell Westbrook is coming. That's what I heard. Yeah, if they trade for him, they drag him here kicking and screaming.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Eve, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about the Little Mermaid, the live-action Little Mermaid that's coming, and how dare people be upset about this. We'll tell you what it is.

All right, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Raphael Sadiq. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. So, Raphael Sadiq was on The Breakfast Club. Raphael Sadiq from Tony, Tony, Tony, legendary. And he said some things about Amir Khalil, who is the current lead singer of Tony, Tony, Tony, legendary. And he said some things about Amir Khalil, who is the current lead singer of Tony, Tony, Tony.

You don't ever feel bad for the other Tonys, though? Because they can't, you can't go perform in those records. The real name is not Tonys, but go ahead. They can't. Well, they've been touring for the band's been going strong since I left in 97. Right, they still go on the road. They've been touring for, the lead singer that was in the group was in there longer than I was.

But anyway, no. Don't nobody remember his voice. No disrespect to him. But people don't, they don't, that signature voice with Tony, Tony, Tony belongs to you. Oh yeah, he was a nobody for sure. Oh my God. But clearly Amar Khalil heard that and he posted, so this is what your childhood friend thinks and feels about you. Who used to wear your clothes to school and hung out at your grandmother's house

eating toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Thanks for showing your true colors and self. Charlie Ray, a.k.a. Raphael Sadiq. Hashtag class act less. Hashtag breakfast club. Well, I have to say, I had no idea Tony, Tony, Tony had another lead singer, though. I never knew who the mirror person was.

Am I? See, exactly. I know the other two Tonys, but it's not like he threw them under the bus. He just didn't know their names. But he's not a nobody. I'm not saying he's a nobody. I'm just saying I didn't know he had another lead singer.

I don't think anybody did. Right. Well, they've been going and doing shows, though, and Rafael Sadiq's not with them, so you have to assume somebody else is doing. I thought it was the other two Tonys. I just thought it was two of them. Honestly.

I had no idea. Honestly. All right, Tierra Marie got into some more issues. They're saying that she could be facing a felony charge in that New York DWI case. And it's all because she had a previous DWI. So now they're saying that they might upgrade her charge from a misdemeanor to a felony because in 2011, she was convicted of DWI in LA. Why do they call it a DWI?

Driving while under the influence. Driving while. Okay, while. All right, got you. She's never going to put a 50 back down. Driving Wild Intoxicated or whatever. Yeah, I thought it was DUI. Yeah, there's a DUI.

That's Driving Under the Influence. And then it's DWUI. Driving. It's DWI DUI. Man, I don't care about all these damn letters. All right, now let's talk about Little Mermaid. Congratulations to the beautiful Halle from Chloe and Halle. She's getting the starring role of Ariel. So congratulations to the beautiful Halle from Chloe and Halle she's getting the starring role

of Ariel so congratulations to her but I couldn't believe that there was backlash from this of course I was surprised there was all kinds of backlash because they had a whole Facebook group called Make Ariel White Again

are you tired of people washing out the great traditions of white princesses for people of color? Do you feel that they should keep everything the way that it is? Then join us. We are here to make Ariel white again. Can you believe that? I mean, I didn't know people cared about Ariel being white. I mean, she's a mermaid. It's not even a real

person. It's a mermaid. Yeah, she's a mermaid. I didn't think that they cared about her being white. Now, if it was the Black Panther or something in the future and they was like, you know what, we're going to have a white guy play T'Challa, I can see people being upset. Halle is so amazing. I'm really happy for her, but it's a shame that you can get such an accomplishment

and have people try to tear you down. I wonder if people got upset when Cheddar the Entertainer played, who's the guy from The Honeymooners? Remember The Honeymooners? Ralph Crampton. Did people get mad about that? I'm sure. I don't think it did that well.

I'm just saying. I'm sure if people got mad about this, they get mad about that? I'm sure. I don't think it did that well. I'm just saying. I'm sure if people got mad about this, they get mad about anything else. If Giselle was going to be 007, they got mad about that. I don't think it's wrong. Some people you should be mad at when they change them up racially, but I don't know if Ariel from The Little Mermaid is one of them, but I don't have an emotional connection. It's not like that's a real person and it shouldn't matter.

Alright, now Freeform made a whole statement. Yes, the original author of The Little Mermaid was Danish. Ariel is a mermaid. She lives in an underwater kingdom and international waters and can legit swim wherever she wants. But for the sake of argument, let's just say that Ariel, too, is Danish. Danish mermaids can be black because Danish people can be black. Now, who the hell knew Ariel was Danish?

Now, see, y'all are making too much of this, okay? Who knew that? What is Danish? Seriously. What is Danish? I don't even know what a Danish person is. It's Dutch. Huh?

You said it's Dutch. Man, what? I don't know. I don't know either. Why are you talking? It's a great morning. We don't know. I don't know what Danishes are.

I love Danishes. Flute all the Danish people out there that listen to us. I don't even care. Ariel is a mermaid. It's fiction. Exactly. That's the whole thing. All right.

So from Denmark, they said. And while all that happened, by the way, they did also put out the Mulan official teaser for that. What is Mulan? You got daughters. You don't know what this stuff is? What is Mulan? It's another Disney movie. It's a Disney movie.

Oh, okay. It's another remake, yeah. I think she pretended to be a boy, right, to save her father. I never watched that one. Sorry. My daughters have. I have. I don't know nothing about Mulan.

I know Cameron Boyce died, though. Rest in peace to Cameron Boyce. Yeah, we were just talking about that. We have a whole, okay. So now Stevie Wonder, he is going to take a break. He's not going to perform for a little while because he's getting a kidney transplant this fall. And he made that announcement while he was performing in London. I'm going to have surgery.

I'm going to have a kidney transplant in September of this year. I have a donor. It's all good. Okay. Well, salute to Stevie Wonder. Absolutely. I want somebody to be in the room with Stevie when that happens. Make sure they put the right organ in him.

The doctor, perhaps, right? All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Front page news, what are we talking about? We're going to talk about Donald Trump. He says that those immigration raids are coming fairly soon.

And we'll tell you what else he has to say about what's going on at these detention centers. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, congratulations to the Brooklyn Nets. They got Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Congratulations to them. Yeah, it's amazing. Congratulations to the Rock Nation. You know what I'm saying?

Listen, great move for promotion and marketing. Nets will sell a lot of tickets, sell a lot of merchandise, but I don't know how it's going. Congratulations to the Rock Nation. You know what I'm saying? Listen, great move for promotion and marketing. Nets will sell a lot of tickets, sell a lot of merchandise, but I don't know how it's going to work on the court. One of them is going to have to drastically change their game up because they both love playing isolation basketball and they both need the ball in their hand a lot in order for them to be successful. But they got some time to figure it out because Durant's out this season, so they got some time to work things out.

That's actually not giving them time. They can talk about it. They can see how each other. They'll get into it. I'm sure they'll be fine. Kyrie is going to have to learn to really be a point guard in district

ball. Not to mention two players who can't stand the media, run to the media capital of the world, Brooklyn Nets. They're going to have to get a lot tougher

skin to play in New York City. Kevin Durant creates burner accounts to post positive things about himself on social media sites. A lot is going to have

to change for them guys to work. That'd be a hype. And congratulations to the Clippers. They pick up Kawhi Lennon and Paul George. 2020 NBA champions.

Calling it now. Because not only did they add Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, you're adding that to a team that won 48 games last year in the Western Conference. Like, they're going to be incredible. And, of course, the Lakers have LeBron James, AD, and Cousins. So what else are we talking about, Yee? Well, Donald Trump is saying that there's going to be some more mass deportation roundups, and they're going to start fairly soon.

He said, I don't call them raids. We're removing people, all of these people who have come in over the years illegally. Now, that's interesting because he has his own issues with undocumented workers. They were fired from his golf clubs. There was about two dozen undocumented immigrants fired, and they're actually asking him to help them stay in the United States. Now these former employees, some of them had worked at his properties for more than a decade, won a meeting so they could make their case. They said we are modest people who represent

the dreams of the 11 million undocumented men, women, and children who live and work in this country. We love America and want to talk to you about helping to give us a chance to become legal. In addition, they've been doing a lot of visits to these detention centers, and one woman who actually survived the Holocaust said that it is like the Holocaust. It is like what happened during the Holocaust. She said, I feel because I've been in a concentration camp, I do understand that this is beyond human behavior. It's because I know from my own experience what it means.

It means you're not allowed to think, and you're always under the thumb of authorities, the ones in power. And they said that people were drinking out of the toilets. It's unsafe conditions. It's no hygiene. It's terrible. So Donald Trump is saying that's fake news. New York Times story is a hoax. We told them that these detention centers are really full.

And they've got to change the loopholes. And they have to change the asylum. They have to change the immigration laws. We can do it quickly. But we have no votes to do it because the Democrats want vote. We need some of their votes. There's a plane behind him, clearly. But he's saying it's the Democrats' fault because they're not doing anything to change the laws. No need to explain.

I couldn't really hear him. And I'm actually happy about that. All right. Now, Kamala Harris is proposing a $100 billion plan, and that's for black homeownership. Okay. What she wants to do is provide down payments and closing cost assistance of up to $25,000,

and that will help people renting or living in historically red-line communities, and that's going to help about 4 million homebuyers. That's great. Man, dropping a Clues bomb for stealing a Kamala Harris, damn it. That's wonderful. She was at the Essence Festival in New Orleans, and she said a typical black family has just $10 of wealth for every $100 held by a white family,

so we must right that wrong, and after generations of discrimination, give black families a real shot at home ownership. Listen, there is no perfect candidate, but if there is one candidate who I think really cares about the issues that are affecting people of color, I think it's Senator Harris. That's just my personal opinion.

All right, and Starbucks has apologized after six officers say they were asked to leave a store in Arizona. Why were they kicked out? They said they kicked them out of Starbucks. Why? Well, they asked them to move out of a customer's line of sight or to leave because the customer was uncomfortable. That's funny.

Yes, they said a customer did not feel safe because of their presence. So they said, can you... At Starbucks. Whose presence, though? The police. Oh. A customer said the police are making them nervous.

Can you ask them to leave? And they asked the cops to leave. That's crazy. Right, so Starbucks has apologized after these six officers said they were asked to leave a store. They tried to do this whole dump Starbucks campaign. I know you guys saw that trending. That's kind of wild, because what if somebody would have ran up in that Starbucks

immediately and robbed it right then and there. I bet you want the police to come back ASAP. Cops would have been like, hey, I'm not... Police out there sipping their little

green tea. We're not invited in. Sorry. No, kick me in there. Sorry. That's crazy. Yes, the police department said several of those

officers asked to leave are veterans who fought for this country zero respect. So you could do that in Starbucks if somebody is bothering you or you feel uncomfortable, you can just tell

Starbucks and they ask them to leave? I mean, it happened. And to be clear, they didn't say to leave. They said, could you move out of the line of sight of the customer or leave? And the officers decided, chose to leave. If I was one of the officers, I'd have made a little joke like, yeah, I'm going to get out of the line. But you're in the line of fire right now,

buddy. You know, disrespecting me. Geesh. All right. Well, that You know, disrespecting me. Sheesh. All right. Well, that's front page news. Now, all right. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. There's a concert going down.

I believe in Atlanta, right? No, it's in Detroit. Now, what's going on with this concert? It's the Afro Future Fest. It's a Detroit festival. And what they're doing is, or what they tried to do was, and this festival is happening August 3rd, is they did a early bird ticket price for people of color. It's $10 for people of color. Everybody else has to pay $20.

So wait, so they're charging white people and everybody $20. But if you're black, it's $10? People of color, yes. That's black people. Yeah. No, not necessarily. It could be Hispanic, it could be Asian. I don't like when people say people of color. Be specific. Yes, that's black people. Yeah

How do you know like cuz if you call and buy tickets on Ticketmaster, like how do you know you notice Tyrone? How do you call Ticketmaster? Shut up in Ticketmaster the website is a Envy. It's Monday. You can call Ticketmaster? You can call Ticketmaster? Yes. You said call. I thought Ticketmaster was a website. It's a website. Oh, well, you can call as well. Well, Eventbrite is threatening to pull the festival from its site because of this. I don't see the problem. Now, one artist who was performing, Tiny Jag, she's a rapper based in Detroit.

She actually pulled out of the festival because of that. Who is Tiny Jag? She's a Detroit-based rapper. You know her? And she said, I was immediately enraged just because I am biracial. I have family members that would have, under those circumstances, been subjected to something that I would not ever want them to be. But then on the other side, you would have black people in your family that would be getting a discount, Tiny.

Come on now. Especially not because of anything that I have going on. She said, a lot of the songs that I perform are from my first project called Polly. That's my grandmother's name. How do you want me to come to a performance and perform these songs off a mixtape that is titled after this white woman that you would have charged double to get in here? All right, Tiny, since you're choosing sides,

all black people need to stop, need to pull out of buying her music then. All right, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Is it right to charge white people $20? I don't see the problem. And black people $10. It's a colored discount. Now let's think about it.

I was thinking about this, right? If y'all have the concert in our hood, in my hood, let's say it's in our hood, right? And you bring all these artists, they should be charging the black people less money, the locals less money, right? Because it's in our neighborhood, right? Listen. Right? Am I right?

But what if you're a white person and you live in a neighborhood? You're right. I didn't think of this all the way through. You'll waste a good white skin if you're a white person and you live in a neighborhood? Listen, you're right. I didn't think this all the way through. You'll waste a good white skin if you're white and you're living in the hood. All right? First of all, the racial wage gap in America is disgusting. Blacks make significantly less than white people on average. So, yes, charge the black people less and let the white people pay regular price. What about some white people ain't got it, though?

Some white people broke? Once again, if you're broke and you're white, you'll waste a good white skin. It's not our problem. It's not our problem. It's not our problem. This world was designed for you. You have no reason to be broke. All right, 800-585-1051. Is it right to charge white people $20 and black people $10?

I think it's incredible, and I want to drop one of Clue's bombs to those concert promoters for looking out for the less fortunate, the poor and disenfranchised. Like I said, the racial wage gap in America is disgusting. Blacks make significantly less than whites. Thank you for helping to ease the economic stress of some of these black brothers and sisters. All right, let's talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking about this concert in Detroit. Afro Future Fest.

Talk about the concert and what they charge for. So it's a small event that was organized by a local art and social collective, and it's called Afro Future Youth, a collective that put it together. They say that for people of color, they get an early bird price of $10. Everybody else has to pay $20.

Yeah, so we're asking 80-585-1051. Is this right? Yes, it's okay. It's perfectly fine. Listen, the racial wage gap in America is disgusting. Blacks make significantly less than white people on average. So yes, charge the black people less and let the white people pay regular price. I think the organizers of this concert should

be applauded for this idea. And I think it's racist to be mad that black people are getting a discount. Look, you know I believe in black privilege. Not only is it an honor and a privilege to be black, but when systemically we can give our people some economic relief, I'm all for it. Why would I be against that? You know what I was thinking about?

You know how sometimes when you go to clubs, right, they charge different prices for drinks depending on what night it is. If it's a night in a club that's a predominantly white night, they charge less. And then for black people, they charge more. I didn't know that. For the same drinks on different nights at the same club. I didn't know that. For the same drinks

on different nights at the same time. I didn't know that. I was thinking like this. I was thinking two things. One, how much they going to charge me if I walk up right there?

They might not know if I'm black or white. They think I'm Latino. Did they charge me 15? That's one question. And second question, Well, it said people of color, so you would still get

the $10 discount too. People of color, not just black people. You talk to all these big acts, whether it's Wu-Tang or if you look at Hov or you look at Chance the Rapper, Kanye West, you go to any of these venues and you see them perform, it's mostly white people.

Why? Because they say black people can't afford the ticket prices. That's a fact. That's why I don't see the problem. It's a reason white people have always been the biggest consumers of hip-hop, and that's because they can afford to be. So yes, make it more affordable for the descendants of the people who created this culture. And America always wants to play the equality card when it affects the privileged. But when it affects the poor and disenfranchised, nobody cares about equality. It's called Afro Future Fest. Afro.

So when they have a mullet future fest, you give the white people a discount. But for Afro Future Fest, the black people get the discount. I don't see the problem here. What is this word talking about? What are we discussing? All right. Well, let's go to the phone lines. We got Shelby on the line.

Shelby, what's up, bro? I'm all right, man. How y'all doing? We doing good. Shelby, you're black, right? You know I am. Well, we charged you $10, brother. All right, I'll pay it.

I'll pay it. I'll pay it. I'll get all my family members in. But I ain't going to lie to you. It's an unfair practice. No, it's not. Well, why do you say that, Shelby? Man, stop it.

Come on, bro. What did I just say? I just said America always wants to play the equality card when it affects the privileged. But when it affects the poor, nobody cares about equality. I would love to hear what Shelby's thoughts are. So why do you say that? That's the point. We don't care about them.

If they don't want to, it should be. See, that's the key word. It should be equal, but it ain't. So I'll take advantage of it, but it should be. Oh, so you for it? Well, hey, I just say it should be equal. That's all. No, no, no.

No, he's not equal. He's not for it. So you're not for it. You're not for black people getting a discount. No, no, I am. Like I said, if I was in Detroit and I heard about it, I would make sure that I take advantage of it because it's for me. But I would stand up if asked the question, should it be equal?

Yes, it should be equal. See, I got mixed emotions. Like even when, you know, when they take over our neighborhoods, right, and then they allow us to live back in the neighborhood, they stabilize the rent for us, right? Which is a lower rent than white people most of the time. Tell white people welcome to our world. All right, this is how we feel all the time. Should it be equality in America?

Yes. Is it? No. On their event page, they said equality means treating everyone the same. Equity is ensuring everyone has what they need to be successful. So they want to make sure that people get this access that they normally don't get. Dee! Yes, good morning.

Hey, good morning, Dee. We're talking about this concert. You think it's right? Absolutely not. I think it's disgusting. What are you, Dee? Black, white, biracial? What?

Black. I'm white. My husband's black. My child's biracial. So you paid money, he pays 10. Your child would get a discount and you would have to pay 20. What's the problem here, Dee? I mean, honestly, a smart white person would just have a black

friend buy the ticket. Alright, then. What's it gonna say? Buy a ticket only? Let your husband buy the ticket. To be honest, it's reverse racism. No, it's not. That's not what it is. No, it's not. Come on now.

When does it say white person gets a discount and black person doesn't? Everywhere. All throughout America it says it. It's been saying it without saying it since the beginning of time. Okay? I'm not going to disagree with you. I mean, I'm not a black person. I cannot say what you've gone through in life.

All I'm saying is I don't see color and that's just me. Listen, all I'm not a black person. I cannot say what you've gone through in life. All I'm saying is I don't see color, and that's just me. Listen, all I'm saying is it's just a reason white people have always been the biggest consumers of hip-hop, and that's because they can afford it. So, yes, make it more affordable for the descendants of the people who created this culture. Like, we know that there's a racial wage gap in America. Now, if you're half black and half white, how much do you pay? I mean, you're a person of color. It depends how you present.

Like, if you present as a black person. All right, you logic, because logic is half black, half white. How much do you pay? I mean, you're a person of color. It depends how you present. Like, if you present as a black person... All right, you logic. Because logic is half black, half white. Charge logic $100. See, I ain't messing with you. I think I identified as black. $800, $500, $500, $500. We're talking about this concert in Detroit

where they're charging white people $20 and people of color $10. Is that foul? Is that fair? Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about this concert in Detroit. You want to fill people in, Yee? Yes, this concert is coming up August 3rd. It's the Afrofuture Fest. And they are giving different ticket prices based on your skin color. For people of color, the early bird ticket price is $10.

Everybody else has to pay $20 at that point. And then eventually the prices rise up to $20 for people of color and $40 for non-people of color. I think they should do this a lot. I think that the racial wage gap in America is so crazy that they should charge black women less. They should charge women less. They should charge black

people less. They should charge everybody who is affected negatively by the racial wage gap less and charge the people less. They should charge everybody who is affected negatively by the racial wage gap less and charge the people who aren't affected regular price. Hello, who's this? How you doing, man?

It's Mello from Long Island. Mello, what's up, man? We're talking about this concert. You think it's fair? Of course it's fair. Didn't you just say

the statistic about Kamala Harris is like $10 a vote for the black family compared to $100 a vote for the white family. Yep. You know what I mean?

And on top of that, didn't J. Cole once say, Don't know, the white boys don't know no better. Forget it. Who cares? Now, let's be clear. J. Cole's biracial, so we don't know how he would feel about this. Is he biracial? Yes, he's biracial.

I didn't know that. I didn't know J. Cole was. Hello, who's this? Dennis from New Jersey. Dennis. Dennis. What do you think about this concert? How much are you paying?

I can't tell by your voice. I honestly think, and that's just my opinion, I think everybody should be just charged $7. Somebody should be what? That's cheaper than everything. $7 is not an option because of the fact even if you're green. Even if you what? Even if you're green.

If you're green. Or any color. It doesn't matter. No. I mean, of course, that's a joke, but. But $7 is not an option. $7 is cheaper than everything. Everybody said $10.

$7 is God's number, so I'm fine with that. Okay, so if the 10 is minimum, 11 is fine, too. That's whichever. Why are we always. Everybody's charged the same thing. Why are we. On the other hand, if it's a concert for Aiken or A Boogie, I probably would most definitely pay more. Who is Aiken?

And why is he Aiken? Is he hurt? Is he somebody's Aiken? Should we get him a doctor? Aiken. You said somebody's Aiken. What do they need? They need something, some aspirin or something?

Okay. There you go. Have a good one, man. Say about that joke. Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this? This is Kentara. Hey, Kentara. We're Say about that joke. Goodness gracious. Hello, who's this? This is Kentara. Hey, Kentara.

We're talking about charging white people 20 and people of color 10. What do you think? First of all, I cannot believe I got through. Oh, my God. Hello, DJ Envy. Good morning. Hey, boo. I love you all.

We love you back. Thank you, baby. Love you, too. Thank you. And I'm from South Carolina. 803, shout out. Hey, 803, what's happening? Yes, sir.

So I don't think it's wrong at all. First of all, I'm black. And because I feel like sometimes there are white people who want to take advantage of the culture and absorb it, but they don't stand up when it counts, like when all of the injustices are going on. So tell them, we'll charge them an extra 10. All right. Thank you, Mama. No problem, y'all. Enjoy y'all day on. So, hell no. We're charging an extra 10. All right. Thank you, Mama. No problem, y'all.

Enjoy y'all day. Thank you. You too. 800-585-1051. We'll take some more of your calls when we come back. We're talking about this concert in Detroit where they're charging white people $20 and people of color 10. Is that foul?

I don't see the problem. Is it fair? We'll talk about it more when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a concert they're having in Detroit. Shout out to our Detroit family, WJLB. What up, doe? Now, Yee, explain what's going on with this concert. It's called the Afro Future Fest. It's taking place August 3rd. And for early bird tickets, it's $10 for people of color, $20 for white people. Now, I'm not going to lie.

It is foul. It's not. But it's fair. It's not foul for people of color, $20 for white people. Now, I'm not going to lie. It's foul. It's not. But it's fair. It's not foul. But it's fair. It's fair all across the board. Why are we always sticking up for the privilege? There's a racial wage gap in America, man. And this is a way to give some economic relief to the people who need it. There's some poor white people out there. I don't know anything about them and their waste of good white skin, okay?

Alright, you go to these hip-hop concerts, you see mad white people in the crowd, and it's because a lot of times, black and brown people just can't afford to be there. That's fact. So I don't see the problem. So I think their intentions were good with this whole situation. I don't think they were...

I think they were just looking out for their people. Yeah, it was good intentions. Hello, who's this? How you doing? This is Richard. Hey, Richard. We're talking about charging white people 20 and people of color 10. What do you think?

Well, you know, man, I don't really... It doesn't really matter to me either way. I'm just wanting you to maybe change up the way you're talking about it. Because in the beginning, y'all said that this is affecting and for people of color, right? Correct. And when you say black people, you send the wrong message, man. And when people, maybe it's somebody just tuning in. Or hell, maybe

not. Maybe they heard the whole thing. But some people feel a certain type of way when you just say black people. So maybe you could say black people. You niggas are some all-inclusive-ass people. Like, so what? All right. Okay. Well, listen, this is what's gonna

happen. If this country ever gives us reparations, which it won't, they're going to say we're going to give reparations to all people of color. I bet you start complaining then saying, no, people of color ain't just all black people. We're not people of color. That doesn't make sense because all people of color weren't slaves in America. Well, that's what they're going to say. Well, thank you, Richard. And if you notice now when you hear a lot of these politicians talk,

they never like to say black people. They say people of color. Hello, who's this? Brandy. Hey, Brandy. Now, is it right to charge a white person $20 and a black person $10? Oh, sorry. A man of color $10. People of color, not just a man. Well, like

I was saying before, it depends, to me, in my opinion, it depends on what type of celebration is going on. For example, earlier in the show, the one opinion, it depends on what type of celebration is going on. For example, earlier in the show, the one lady, the victim of the Holocaust, she was comparing herself to, comparing what happened to the detainee camp to what happened with her and all that. And that was, you know, that's good and everything.

However, though, if they threw a concert for those people and said, hey, Jews, we're going to give you half off, they're not going to call them racist. So it depends on the situation. If it's for African cultured people, descendants of slavery, whatever you want to say. That's right. I mean, what is so wrong about that? It's not like it's being racist. But see, if you put it in context, then it's different. You know what I'm saying? It's like, it's almost

like that black people just can't really have nothing exclusively for them. If we do, we just racist or something, but I don't think that it's a racist statement. It depends on the context behind the movement or the circumstances of the event. What you said is absolutely right.

It's called Afro Future Fest. So, yes, people that can grow Afro should get a discount. All right? When they have a mullet future fest, you know what I'm saying, a buzz cut future fest, then white people can get a discount. Well, they actually ended up changing everything, and they now have made their ticketing model $20 general admission and suggested donations for non-people of color.

So that's how they're doing it now. Suggested donations. So it's $20. I just think that us in America need to get off of that. They just got to get off of just labeling when black people want something for themselves and for their community besides Black History Month. You know, I know that we're American, but we're not like other immigrants that came to America.

You don't have to explain giving your fellow black people a discount. I'm not explaining that to nobody. So what's the new rules, Yee? So the new rule is it's $20 for general admission, and then they have a suggested donation for white people. I'm with that. So that's what they changed it to. That's right. But they said the reason they did that,

they were getting attacks and threats from white supremacists. I don't see nothing wrong with a tourist tax. You know what I'm saying? It's the Afro Future Fest. Afro Future Fest. You want to come here and you want to see these black acts? Throw a little something on top of it. You know what I'm saying?

All right. Well, what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is I don't know why we always stick it up for the privileged. There's a racial wage gap, you know, and this is a way to give some economic relief to the people who need it. Salute to the organizers of this concert for doing a great deed. Alright. Well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are

going to talk about Nicki Nicki Nicki Minaj and she's speaking out about the wave that she created and she also was talking about the lack of support that she gets from the media. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Lil Nas X. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Lil Nas X, as we know, has come out. He's publicly come out as gay. And he talked to BBC Breakfast about what happened since then and what made him decide to do that.

You've given hints. What do you think you've revealed? That I am gay. I mean, it's just something that, you know, I was considering just like never just doing ever just like taking to the grave or something. But it was like, I don't want to just live my entire life, especially, you know, I just got to where I'm at, just like not doing what I want to do. So and I'm also I feel like opening doors for more people who... Yeah, it's important, isn't it? Because you are now a role model.

Why are people still surprised that people are gay? Like, why is this news? It shouldn't have to be a press conference. It shouldn't have to be a press conference every time somebody comes out and says they like men. Yeah, I think in the world of hip-hop, there's not a lot of rappers that have openly come out as gay. I thought he was a country singer. No, he's still a rapper, but he did a country song. And so, I get it.

And it also is nice because it sets a precedent for other people who might be struggling with wanting to come out as well. It's not an easy thing to do, clearly. But he's a rapper who did a country song.

Mm-hmm. I think so. Yeah, he doesn't have like a... Yeah, I think so. He is a rapper. Just like his sexuality, y'all aren't sure exactly what it is he does.

We are sure. He said he's gay. Okay, but we're not sure when it comes to the music. He's a rapper. He put out a country song. And so you can do different genres of music, even if you're considered a rapper. If you're a rapper and your first song is a country song, wouldn't that kind of technically make you a country artist? He's rapping on it.

Oh, okay. I don't even know where he's from. Nelly did a country song, too, and he's still a rapper. Yeah, but he was rapping first. Yeah, but he's rapping on the song, right? He's a musician, okay. I don't even know where he's from. Nelly did a country song, too, and he's still a rapper. Yeah, but he was rapping first. Yeah, but he's rapping on the song, right? He's a musician, guys. He's a musician. There you go.

He's a musician, guys. He's a musician. There you go. All right, so in addition to that, he's been getting a lot of slander since he came out. Here's what he said. You expecting any backlash? Oh, I'm already getting it.

Oh, yeah? How does that feel? I mean, learning the internet over the past couple years, you know, I used to be that person being negative. So it's like I'm not angry or anything because it's like I understand, you know, how they just want that reaction. But I'm just going to joke back with him. He said I used to be that person? Mm-hmm. Being negative.

Because I heard he was an internet troll beforehand. I don't know how true this is, but I thought he was like a barb and used to do fan pages and stuff like that. You saying the barbs are negative? That's what you're saying, son? No, I said I heard he was... Speak up if you feel that way. I said I heard he used to do fan pages.

You feel like the barbs are negative? You sure that way? Do you? Yes, I do. Very much so. But I don't care because I'm negative too and I want it. Well, he went on Twitter and he said, next Emory to say something offensive to me, getting kissed.

So that's how he did it. I'm going to drop one of Clue's bombs For Lil Nas X That's the type of energy I'm talking about I got back shots for your backlash That's what you got? That's what you got? Now since you're talking about the barbs

Nicki Minaj has had to address the lack of support That she's gotten from other artists And from media She said 12 years ago I dropped my first mixtape Wrote every single word on every single song. I was so proud of that. Eventually, the Barbz were all wearing pink hair.

Chinese bangs and Barbie chains. Colorful wigs came all the way back in style. Everyone became Barbies and dolls. I always shouted out my influences in my interviews. Nowadays, it's become cool to pretend you weren't influenced by other artists. Shout out to the ones big enough to do it. Cash, Asian, Cuban, Sweetie, Meg, Malibu, Young M.A., Miss Banks, Lady Leisure, etc No female rapper other than Trina did a song with me or congratulated me on my Billboard accomplishments

I didn't mind, I never felt they were obligated to do so Just like Beyonce isn't obligated to congratulate or collaborate with Normani, etc I never had a crusade by radio stations, influencers, and blogs to make my song number one When Anaconda was number two on the Hot 100. That's because we didn't really like Anaconda. I never had a group of men in the studio writing my songs for me, so it took a while between albums. Please stop these write-ups about what I didn't do.

Y'all are really sick, and I'm going to call y'all out one by one on Queen Radio. Now, there also, after that, was a video clip floating around where she is paying homage, and you can see that she does that because people were trying to say that she's never done that and disputing that. And here's that audio.

Who's your best some C's? Nick Fox and Kim. I have my all of them in my collection that came before me because it's hard work. And, you know, you get critiqued so much. And so shout out to all of them. You know what I mean? Free Remy. Shout out to all of the girls.

Thank you to Queen Latifah because you know what? Earlier we were rehearsing and she just gave me so much positive energy. And I think it's so important right now for positive energy among women. Because I'm doing this. I'm fighting for women. This is not for me. This is for all of us. I want to know though, who is not giving Nicki their props?

Like we have said a million times that this whole new era of female rappers is influenced and inspired by Nicki Minaj. Nicki resurrected the female rap genre. So who has never said that about her? Like, I don't understand. So, she said like I said, do your effing research. That was the post that she put up. Like, she resurrected this era of female rap. Like, who has

never ever given Nicki props to this? Well, she's saying that nobody congratulated her on her Billboard accomplishments. No female rapper other than Trina did a song with her. So that's coming from herself. I'm sure we've congratulated Nikki on being number one on Billboard before. You're not a female rapper.

Oh, she's talking about other female rappers specifically? Yeah, she said no female rappers. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I thought she was just talking about like the Center of Power. I thought you said something about media and everything else. Did they say something about media and she said she's going to choose them one by one and talk about it on the show or something like that.

Right, and she's going to call out those people that she says, please stop these write-ups about what I didn't do. Y'all are really sick. So I guess what she's trying to say is the media tries to put it out there, like she doesn't do certain things, and she responded. All right? In the meantime, with Nicki Minaj, they want her to not do this Saudi Arabia show because of the controversy there. The Human Rights Foundation is publicly calling for performances to be canceled due to the violation of the rights of tens of millions of Saudis.

And they said, Miss Minaj, as you can see, you are scheduled to perform at a state sponsored event in one of the most repressive regimes on Earth, a country whose leader has also led a relentless campaign to silence women's rights activists. Many of the women who have advocated to lift the driving ban in Saudi Arabia are currently in jail and being subjected to torture that includes electric shocks, flogging and rape. So they don't want her to go to perform in Saudi Arabia because of those things. We'll see what happens. All right. I'm Angela Yee. And that is your rumor report.

All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne. Yes. Who are you giving that to? Listen, man, four after the hour, we're back from vacation. We're going to talk about a grown man that likes to lick and finger things for fun.

We'll talk about it. That's how you start on a Monday, huh? I'm just letting you know how we start and how we set in the tone for the week. All right. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. That's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There 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. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

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.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

For self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay's okay like grace have grace with yourself you're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing alicia keys like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts charlamagne say say the gang, Donkey of the Day. Charlamagne, you are a donkey.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitch. Who's Donkey of the Day today?

Well, Ed Sheeran, Donkey of the day for Monday, July 8th, goes to 36-year-old Laniece Martin III. Now, Laniece is from Louisiana, and he is a criminal copycat. See, that's the thing about certain crimes, especially certain crimes that are done to entertain social media. And this latest crime is a challenge I hope doesn't catch on, and it's you nasty-ass people, okay, walking into grocery stores, opening containers of ice cream, and licking the product. Now, this all started because

a young woman in Lufkin, Texas, who I will not name because she's a minor, went viral. She opened up a container of Blue Bell ice cream and licked it in a local Walmart and put it back in the freezer. Just disgusting. All right, now, before this young woman was identified as a juvenile, police said she could have faced up to 20 years in prison because they had planned on arresting her on a charge of second-degree felony tampering. But she's a juvenile, so now the case will be turned over to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. Let me tell you something. I don't think this young lady should get 20 years,

but she should absolutely be charged with something, all right? Any person who tampers with food in grocery stores, especially something as sacred as ice cream, should be charged with a felony. I don't even eat ice cream. OK, I'm lactose intolerant. I eat some ice cream and I'll be emptying my ass all damn day. All right. If I eat ice cream, I lose all control of my bowel movement. So a bowl of Blue Bell isn't worth, you know, peeing out Hershey squirts for the rest of the day. OK, but my kids eat ice cream. All right. And your kids eat ice cream, and kids, you know, that we don't know eat ice cream, and it's all these outbreaks from measles to hepatitis.

It's just too hard to stay healthy as it is for you people to be out here doing things like this, okay? Well, I guess Lanise, a grown-ass 36-year-old man, is following the lead of a minor because he decided he wanted to go viral by doing what she did. Let's go to WAFB 9 CBS for the report, please. Here's the first look tonight at the mugshot for a man right here in our area accused of licking ice cream at the store, then putting it back on the shelf. The assumption Paris Sheriff's Office has identified him as Lanise Martin III. Here's the video, much like that other viral video of a teen doing something very similar.

This one showing the man in bell rows allegedly taking a tub of Blue Bell out of the store freezer and helping himself. He did, in fact, buy that ice cream, according to the sheriff's office, but now faces several charges, including tampering with property. Tonight, officials are sending out a strong warning about the real consequences for any other copycats. So if you're thinking about doing something similar, just don't. No one man should have all that corny. Okay, listen, authorities, in order for this to stop, you have to make an example out of somebody. And Lanice is the perfect guy.

All right, he's 36 years old. All right, four years to 40. His frontal cortex is fully developed. He's been on this earth for 13,142 days. Okay, 432 months. He's been alive for over 18 million minutes. I'm saying all that to say he knows better. All right, this man, Lanice, licked and fingered Blue Bell ice cream

and then put it back on the shelf. And licked and fingered is exactly what needs to happen to him in someone's prison. All right, this man, Lanice, has been charged with unlawful posting of criminal activity for notoriety and publicity and tampering with property. I never knew unlawful posting of criminal activity for notoriety and publicity was a charge. But, man, I wanted to start being enforced, starting with this brother named Laniece. Now, I hate to see black men go to jail, but not when they make these kind of choices. There's certain crimes that I understand, certain poor choices I understand, because I understand the circumstances that causes black men to do

certain crimes. If you're taking a penitentiary chance to make some money, I may not agree with it, but I understand it because I did it, and people gotta eat. Alright, now it's always something better you could be doing, but hey, sometimes we become products of our environments, alright? If you are in a supermarket and you're stealing food because your kids are starving, I understand

that. Hell, if you broke and it's your kid's birthday party and you done spent your last on the cake, but you need ice cream to go with that cake, I would have a lot of empathy for a person in that situation if they got caught stealing ice cream out of the grocery store. But if you are a 36-year-old grown-ass boy, and you are in a grocery store licking and fingering ice cream just to go viral, you need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And everybody in that prison needs to know why you are there.

You should have to wear a T-shirt in prison that says, I lick and finger things for fun. All right? And let's see how that works out for you. Now, Envy, you said you didn't think the minor should be charged with a felony. What about this grown-ass man who likes to lick and finger things for fun? Grown-ass man, he's just dumb. He's old enough. But the young girl, no way.

She shouldn't have a felony on her record. She shouldn't have that. People make ass man, he's just dumb. He's old enough. But the young girl, no way. She shouldn't have a felony on her record. She shouldn't have that. People make stupid mistakes. You made dumb mistakes. You made dumb mistakes. I made dumb mistakes. I would never think to do that.

That's disgusting. You sold crack. Yes, but I ain't never licked it and handed it to the crackhead. That would be just disgusting. That would be disgusting. Come on, guys.

This guy sells crack, but I never licked a crack and sold it. I never have. You know what? I haven't. I never have. You know what? It happens. I can't. You know?

Now, we just need to make an example out of this, man. All right? Number one, it's corny for you to be trying to go viral at 36. Number two, it's a health risk and unsanitary. Number three, I want to see consequences and repercussions because I would not be out here sick or have my kids getting a virus because some grown man was trying to go viral. Please give Lanise Martin III the sweet sounds and the hammer tones, please.

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehaw. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Disgusting world we live in. All right. Now, when you for that donkey today. Disgusting world we live in.

All right. Now, when we come back, we have two special guests joining us. Bashir and Diallo Riddle. I'm going to explain to the people who they are. Bashir and Diallo have a new show coming on Comedy Central called Southside. I've been seeing the ads for it all week. Yes, they are two writer, actors in Hollywood. Diallo recently was on

a Marlon show on NBC. Bashir's been on a whole bunch of stuff and they're just two funny individuals. Now, I know when you see them, they look like the type of people that would just argue with you relentlessly about weed prices, but they're great.

Trust me. Okay, all right. We'll talk to them when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're talking behind the scenes. We have Bashir and Diallo Riddle here. Yep, yep. We were talking behind the scenes. Bashir can't get his last name, too. I definitely can't get his last name. He's going to try.

He's not even going to try. As you know, it's one of those American mysteries. It's Salahuddin. Salahuddin. What is that, in African? It's Arabic. Arabic, okay. Salahuddin. Yeah, yeah. That's what I was going to try. As you know, it's one of those American mysteries. It's Salahuddin. Salahuddin. What is that, in African? It's Arabic. Arabic, okay. Salahuddin.

Yeah, yeah. That's what I was going to say. Shendi, I will tell them who y'all are. You know, we're actors, writers. We're executive producers of the new show South Side on Comedy Central. We met in college. We've been friends for years. We helped Jimmy Fallon.

Don't be humble. Y'all were writers on Jimmy's show. We were writers on Jimmy's show. We did History of Rap and Slow Jam the News. President Obama. Yeah, Slow Jam with Obama. All the good s***, basically. You know, we definitely were part of the DNA of what... The word today is humility, brothers. We're gonna be humble.

I'm gonna tell you why. The theme is humble. I watched the show. I was like, I think I'm gonna be humble. That's my whole thing. That's your shtick. That's my whole thing. That's going to be the shtick today, humility. The South Side is South Side Chicago. South Side Chicago, you know, and not to get too preachy about it, but I was born and raised there.

I hate what I see in the news about my hometown. I hate those slices of life. And, you know, I always tell people that what you see on the news about Chicago is a small piece of very large pie, and our show is going to give you the rest of that pie. The people there are just happy and joyful and loving. We take care of each other. Those at the bottom, those at the top, all different strata, all different classes. That's a lot of love and a lot of joy.

And it doesn't even have to be the south side of Chicago. You can be from, like, I'm from Zone 4 in Atlanta. Grew up, born and raised off West Swats. You can be from Englewood, Watts, Compton. It doesn't matter. There's so many politicians ready to demagogue so many of these neighborhoods, but at the end of the day,

if you grow up in these neighborhoods, you don't wake up in the morning like, how do I not get shot today? You know what I mean? No, you wake up, you laugh, you love, you live, and that's what we wanted to show on the show. And there's a rent-to-own everywhere. Yeah, man. One of my boys actually used to work at Rent-A-Center, and De'Ala and I wanted to do a show about one of our hometowns.

We originally had done some stuff in Atlanta. That didn't work out. No, no. We'll save that for later. Okay. We're going to bring that up in a second. That's okay. We can bring it all up.

But, you know, again, we were like, well, what matters to us is doing something with family and friends. You know, my wife is one of the stars of the show. My older brother is the star of the show. Everybody on the show is either from the stars of the show. My older brother is the star of the show. Everybody on the show is either from the South Side or still living actively on the South Side. Some of the actors were taking the CTA to set every day to work on the show.

I see Rel is on there now. Yeah, man. He's showing us so much love. Originally from the West Side. We get into the West Side, South Side rivalry a little bit. What a strange concept. Actually hire actors from the city. You know, like we cast almost all Chicago actors. And like, it's, you know, the one thing everybody says is like the acting on the show is amazing.

Yeah. And it just goes to show that like sometimes the funniest person you know isn't somebody who does it professionally for a living. It's like that person back home was like a mechanic. Yeah. You know, and like we threw those people in. Like we were shooting a scene on the bus and we actually let the bus driver, the actual bus driver, get in a couple of lines

and he was hilarious. Then we had to pull the camera from him because he wouldn't stop. He's like, it's not that way. Don't go too far. Literally, everybody we shot around was just like, yo, man, this is great. And when is it my time? When am I getting on? We were like, oh, okay. I love to shy on Showtime, but that's because i don't i don't know a lot about chicago

when you talk to people from chicago you're like oh they don't say joe enough and they don't do this and they don't we definitely say guys we got three joes per episode what do you think about the shy uh lovely love the show i'm so happy that we're doing something different i think it's very important for her to say what she's saying um I think it's also super important for us to say what we're saying. One of the things De'Alan and I always joked about, and we had a lot of difficulties. You know, I always tell people failure is your friend because we had a lot of failures in our careers. And we have a lot of friends. We have a lot of friends.

Exactly. So blessed to be here today. But on the positive side, you know, so happy to be here. So blessed. Very humble. Shout out. Shout out, God. But as a Chicago native, I just think that when I'm home, I'm laughing.

I'm having a good time. I'm with family and friends. So there's other places, I think, where you can see the things, the challenges that we have to face. I think for our show, one thing that I don't always say is that black people have poignant lives already, so sometimes it's nice to come home and not have to watch poignant television. I think the best thing about what's happening right now in Hollywood

is that everybody's getting to tell the story that they want to tell. There are a lot of shows that are telling one side of it. I'll even take it a step further. When we were developing our show about my hometown, Atlanta. Atlanta. Before there was the other Atlanta on FX.

I love Donald Glover. He's a friend of ours. I love his version of Atlanta. He stole your idea, Diallo. Come on. That's what I want to Glover. He's a friend of ours. I love his version of Atlanta. He stole your idea, Diallo. Come on. That's what I want to get across. That's my point. Is that what happened? Is that how this show works?

That's exactly how it works. You come in, you don't have beef with anybody. You come on the breakfast show, and then you got beef. Childish Gambino stole the show. Headline. Boom. Listen, I'm actually making the opposite point. The point is that I'm actually making the opposite point. The point is

I'm actually making the opposite point. You would never hear a white executive in one of these networks say, well, gosh, you know, there's already a show about white people trying to find love in Manhattan. You know what I'm saying? When we were like, hey, we have a show about Atlanta, they were like, oh, well, you know,

there's already that Donald Glover show. They really do believe there can only be one black show about Atlanta, and there can only be one black show about Chicago. No, the Chi can exist, Southside can exist. All this stuff. Atlanta can exist, Insecure can exist, and I should be able to go into any of these networks and be like, I have a show about a black woman trying to find love in Los Angeles,

and it is not going to look like Issa Rae's show. We can have more than one show about a city. I had the pleasure of watching the first episode of Atlanta, the original that y'all did. Brothers in Atlanta. And it was starring Jaden

Smith, us, Maya Rudolph, August Alsina. Yeah, Maya Rudolph. Why doesnina. August Alsina stopped through, yeah. Yeah, Maya Rudolph. Why doesn't something like that get the green light? Technically, it did get the green light. HBO was like, we're going to order this series. And by the way, when they order you the series, you get this article and deadline.

Everybody in high school is like, I'm so proud of you, man. And we got a plaque ready for you. We got the plaque. It's getting made right now. Let's go. And then at some point, we got a call from the network, and they were like, hey, we've made a decision to not go forward with the show. We had actually completed all of season one, so it's locked up in a box somewhere.

So that's a lot of intellectual property. Do y'all own it it or do they own it? They pay you for it and then we're not going to show it, which is actually the worst case scenario. One of my secret hopes actually is that one day they would just put it online and show people because you saw this for the money. Just bullseye it in the black mall. You'll never see it in the black mall.

My barber used to have a dude, we used to call him Black Buster because he used to come in there with all the... He was black in a buster too. So the reason they told you that is because of the... The truth of the matter is I won't speculate on the specifics because I don't know him. I'm not in those closed-door meetings, but I will say those closed-door meetings full of older white guys, when the decisions are made, we're not in those meetings. In defense of that network, that dude is now out of that job.

So, you know. Who was it? Richard Prepler? It was... We're naming names. It was the whole team that was there toward the end. They're not there anymore. It's all good. But out of that defeat, we had the opportunity

to do two shows. You know what I'm saying? That means a lot to us. Why do y'all call it defeat, though? It seems like that's just the process. It was devastating. I mean, I, though? It seems like that's just a process. It was devastating. It's one thing if you shoot a pilot and they say we're not going to do the show. It's the fact that they said yes and then they're like, we're taking that yes back.

All of it. That's embarrassing. Call your grandmother and be like, hey, Nana. The good part is they don't put out another press release and deadline that says we've decided not to move forward. No, they did. No!

Yeah, they did. Oh, yeah. When they said yes, there was a big picture of like our, I guess I gotta say now, it was a big picture of Lorne Michaels because he was our producer. At the time.

And then it was a smaller picture of us, but we're like, cool, cool. When the, this is not going forward, it was just a picture of us, but we're like, cool, cool. When the, when the, this is not going forward. Yeah. It was just a picture of us. Still smiling. All right, we got more with Bashir and Diallo.

When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We're back. We're kicking it with Bashir and Diallo Riddle. Yee. Now, let's talk about the whole theme for Southside because you guys work from. One of my boys worked. I'm sorry, Angela. Oh, go ahead. Rentdle. Now, let's talk about the whole theme for Southside, because you guys work from... One of my boys worked... I'm sorry, Angela. Oh, go ahead.

Rent-to-own. So let's talk about that. Have you ever rented furniture in real life? By the way, you know there's no rent-to-own in New York? Yes, they do. Do they have Rent-to-Center in New York? They definitely do. They just started a couple of years ago. When I was a kid, there was no Rent-to-Center. When I went to South, when I went to school in the South, they were everywhere. They have a number of rooms.

For those of you who don't know, it's a business. How do you return those? Wait, rims? Yeah, you can rent rims from a runner's flat. Somebody's got to repo those rims, too, when they don't pay, don't they? I'm sure. Damn. Well, that's a big part of our show is the fact that they do replevins. If you don't pay that $18

on the toaster this week, then they take it back. And it's a very dark practice because the interest rates that they charge really make, like we make the case in the show that there's nothing

more expensive than being poor. You know what I mean? And like, so, and by the way, that's sort of like, we can take on heavy topics and like, you know,

sort of expose certain facts on our show because we're a comedy. Yeah. What does Chicago need to turn Chicago around? I'm actually going to be in Chicago this Sunday

doing a real estate seminar trying to teach people about owning. Because people are going to Chicago, buying up Chicago, pushing us out, and then changing the rent and charging us way higher for rent. So I'm trying to teach people about real estate. So what does Chicago need to change it, to turn it around? My opinion about that is that I wish I knew that answer. I don't know it. I'm endeavoring to find it out. You know, I think one of the things, his father was a community activist.

My father was an imam. I think both of us are going to be, you know, very deep in the community. We want to absolutely have a presence there. I think it's important for us as we have fun and have joy with people that we also make sure we have an eye toward our responsibilities there to the people there. So that's something that's going to be increasing. What I've seen as I've begun, though, is it's a lot of hungry people. I think hungry people are going to find a way to eat. I also think that in terms of some of the violence that you see in Chicago,

I think there was some older structures in place, some OGs who kind of kept things specific. I think a lot of that leadership has been wiped out or put in jail or made inert. I think there's so many other different factors, you know, and it's just the question is, for me at least, is like, how do I even find the right questions to ask to start making a difference? And there are great groups in Chicago like the Interrupters, those guys who really just try to stop, you know, violence from happening. There are pastors. There are community activists. There's so many people working hard. We don't ever see these people.

They don't really make the news because when they're successful, you don't hear anything. I just want to say, you know, I know everybody heard what Bashir said. He was like, that was so eloquent. He was like, how does this from Chicago that's a comedian talk like this

graduate from Harvard? Who said that about me? You know who said that? Charlamagne said that. He's been calling me a wrong Charlamagne. Has been looking at you and now he wants

to project it on me. People look at you and who's this in this, you know, teal shirt? That's what I'm saying. Dumbass. A little heavy. Butumbass n***a.

But he did graduate from Harvard. But she did graduate from Harvard, though. We met at Harvard. Y'all watching my mouth, not trying to curse in front of Mama. He just go crazy over there. Mama from Chicago. My mother's from the west side of Chicago. God bless her.

She turned on me. So y'all met at Harvard. Yeah. Amazing. We were an acapella group. Yeah, we were. It was called Brothers. Brothers were an acapella group. Yeah, we were. It was called Brothers. Brothers.

It seems you can figure out what race they were. It was like 5% of the Harvard population of black people, and we were all singing. I was doing an episode of Key & Peele. I did DJ. You was a DJ and singing in a group? Yeah, I was a DJ in college. I lost my job at the Harvard Law Library because I fell asleep one day. And I still got to make some money somewhere. Jesus Christ.

What can I say? I was like, I'm bringing down the rates. I finally got a job. Goddamn. Diallo. I fell asleep. At Harvard, too, by the way. Exactly.

with our friends from Harvard last night. I was looking at this table full of still relatively young black men. They're all well-suited. I was like, y'all are so rich. Y'all are so rich, like, they all went into finance. I'm like, why in the world do we go into storytelling for a living? Yeah, a lot of Wall Street hedge fund type guys

who just have just cake in their mouth. God bless them. Well, listen, y'all Emmy nominated. Yeah. You know what I mean? Wrote for Fallon. That's right. Come on now.

We're talking here. But you guys could always raise money from your friends from Harvard. You guys could always raise money and get investors, too. You know, you don't want to be that guy. By the way, we already did that. We made a short film. We made a short film. With Black Thought, actually.

I told them about it last night. It was called All Access because New York still has a thriving public access TV network. And the Allif brother used to run it. And so we made a short film about it. Some of the best content. Shout out Black Thought. Shout out Roots. And where's the South Side?

Come on, for everybody out there. July 24th, 1030, Comedy Central. I got to tell you, I thought this show was called The Breakfast Club. I thought y'all was kidding about that breakfast party. It's early as hell right now. And there's no film in there. We got you one, though.

Thank you, man. I'm so impressed with the people who just, you know, so much energy. I love seeing all these black people up at this hour. Everybody's so excited in the morning. What, you thought we taped these later on in the day? I'm thinking it was like an afternoon show. Hell no.

Well, Charlemagne is late. You know, the show's supposed to start at 6. Every day? Every day he comes in at 6.02. Like, the show's supposed to start at 6.02 now. I keep trying to tell you how my contract says 6.05. Y'all keep thinking it's a joke for whatever reason, but okay. Well, Bashir and Liala, we appreciate you guys. Thank you so much, man. It was great. Thank you so fun. Y'all keep thinking it's a joke for whatever reason, but okay. Well, Bashir and Diallo,

we appreciate you guys. Thank you for having us. Thank you so much, man. It was great. Thank you so much. Seriously. Thanks for having us, guys. Well, it's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Now, we're behind the scenes. You know, I did something stupid two weeks ago, right? And you ever do something you just want to take it back? So I see Little John

in the airport, right? And instead of saying, what's up, Little Jon? I go, yeah! Right? And he turns and goes, Envy, how you doing? And I felt so stupid. But it was Lil Jon that just went, yeah! I was waiting for it. Okay! You should know better.

What if somebody came up to you and said, it's moving! Nobody would ever say that. That phrase was never that famous. The only person who would do that to Envy is Red Cafe. They always come up to me and be like, it's DJ Envy Angela. Yeah, what's up? If you saw the Dave Chappelle sketch,

you would know he don't talk like that. I know, but I just seen him. It's Lil Jon. He's a legend. What if he was like, hello Envy. How are you feeling today? And why are you talking like that? He's a whole legend.

I was like, yeah. Anyway, let's get to the rumors. He's a whole legend. And shame on our producer Taylor for asking where is Lil Jon from this morning. That's a whole other conversation. Let's get to the rumors. That's Lil Jon. Let's talk A$AP Rocky.

She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So A$AP Rocky was arrested in Sweden and that was for suspicion of assault. There was a video that showed him throwing a man through the air and it was taken in Central Stockholm on Sunday evening and apparently they're saying that he grabbed the man

but what happened to make him do that? Well, they put out their own video where you can see the man is following him around. There's a couple of guys and they're harassing him basically. So he had couple of guys, and they're harassing him, basically. So he had posted, so a few drug addicts are not my fans. We don't know these guys, and we didn't want trouble. They followed us for four blocks, and they were slapping girls' butts who passed.

Give me a break. And here is what was going down on some of the footage that ASAP Rocky posted. Go that way. What? Just go that way. He's following us. Go that way. What? Just go that way. Why is he following us? Go that way. He's following us. Go that way.

You can fight with your teeth. No, bro. Nobody wants to fight with him, bro. Go that way, bro. Go that way. Nobody wants to fight with him. Go that way. My headphones.

My headphones. You don't want to fight y'all. We're not trying to go to jail. My headphones. My headphones. You hit him with it. I want my headphones. I understand that you hit him with it.

You got to explain it. So one of the men threw the headphones at his security and hit the security, and the security smashed his headphones onto the ground. But they were following him for a long time. And he kept telling them he didn't want to be followed. I don't want to fight you. Leave me alone. I'm not trying to go to jail.

And they continued to fight him for an extended period of time. So now A$AP Rocky is in jail, and A$AP Ferg actually said they're trying to keep him there an extended period of time. So now A$AP Rocky is in jail, and A$AP Ferg actually said they're trying to keep him there for two weeks. He said he's in Sweden, locked up in solitary confinement with no visit or phone call privileges. Who do we call? How can we help? Listen, man, A$AP Rocky, people, you know, holler at me.

I got somebody that can help with that situation. Something like that happened to my guy Alex earlier this year. He got into a fight in Sweden. I think he spent a month or two in jail, but I could be exaggerating. I'm bad with time, but get at me. I think I can help you

with that situation. I know somebody who can help you with that situation. He said if he's convicted, he'll be looking at six years for defending himself in a fight, but that video footage

really shows how he was not wanting... Yeah, he was trying to avoid the situation. Yes, they were harassing him. They should be in jail. Where's Kim K? Can Kim K out? Why I don't know

any of A$AP Rocky's people? I feel like I... Oh, my gosh. You know some A$AP's people? Ferg? Yeah, I know Ferg. I mean, of course I know him. That's good enough right there.

Brian Leach. Ferg, Ferg, get at me. Who's Brian Leach? You don't know Brian Leach? He's the person that signed him to the label. He signed him to the label. To Polo Grounds.

Okay. A$AP Ferg, get at me, bro. All right. J. Cole has announced that he is expecting a baby. He's gonna have a second child with his beautiful wife, Melissa. Congrats! And in his new song Sacrifices, he talks about it.

Hugging a block, hugging a block all day. I had nowhere to go. She gave me a place to stay. She gave me a heart to hold. I still got this to this day. She riding with me on the road. She riding with me in the A Hugging the black Hugging the black

Okay She gave me the gift for my son And plus we got one on the way She gave me a family to love But that I could never repay I'm crying while writing these words The tears they feel good on my face Aw, that is so cute.

Congrats to them. Well, congratulations to them. Congratulations, Melissa. I love when people break news through their art. Like, I'm glad that he didn't, you know, somebody didn't see her out and be like, oh, she's pregnant. I like the fact that he got to make that announcement through his art. All right.

Now, Lala, in the meantime, is supposedly exploring legal options to split from Carmelo Anthony. It actually came directly from Lala. Her rep spoke with people and confirmed that they are living apart as well. As Lala and Carmelo have been living apart for quite some time, Lala is proceeding with illegal discussions as the next steps in their relationship. They will remain loving and committed parents to their son. She was also at Essence Festival

and while she was hosting a party, she got on the mic. All my ladies, don't give a f*** out of n***a sometimes! I really don't, though. This next song is going out to all my independent ladies who don't need it. You know what song that was. City Girls.

Act Up. Looks like Lala's going to be having a hot girl summer. What is a hot girl summer exactly? It's whatever you want it to be. It's just being a strong woman, doing what you want to do. That could mean you're in a relationship and doing what you want to do with that. It could mean that you decide to go out and have a good time, have hookups. Anything you want it to be, that's what a hot girl summer is. Either way, you need a man to do all those things.

Correct. No, you could be single and have a hot girl summer and be out with your girls. It's just anything that's fun for you. So it's about fun. Yeah, it's about being independent, being fun, making decisions that you want to make based on what anybody thinks about you. You want a hot girl or something? No, I'm just asking. I want to know the definition.

Yeah, it depends on who you are. Whoever you are, that is what it is to you. Okay. So just being a strong, independent woman. You can be independent in a relationship too. All right, YG, his SUV was involved in a police shootout. What? You can be an independent woman and still be in a

relationship. You don't think so? You consider Gia independent, right? What's independent? Independent means on your own, but she's not on your own. No, it means that you can handle your responsibilities. You're married. It's a union. It's a union. It's not independent. But you're independent people. Well, if you ask me, could I be an independent man? No. I'm nothing without my wife.

Alright, so YG's FUB was involved in a police shootout in L.A., and he wants to make sure everybody knows that he had nothing to do with it. He said, I was nowhere near the scene of this incident and had been in a recording studio all day in Hollywood. I was there until after midnight on the 4th of July and didn't learn of these events until after they happened. It was a bulletproof truck, too. Yes.

They said police were shooting at the doors. It was ping, ping. It was bouncing right off. So one person was a bulletproof truck, too. Yes. They said police were shooting at the doors. It was ping, ping. It was bouncing right off. So one person was detained at least, and another suspect is outstanding, according to attorneys. All right, Cardi B, she wants her wig back, by the way. Did she really want that wig back?

She threw it. That's mine. She said, I got carried away. Oh, okay. It can happen. I want that back. Them wigs are expensive, aren't they? Yeah, they are very expensive.

And the person who has their wig has already posted it, and I guess people have pieces of the wig that they're selling. Wow. Pieces of the wig. I'm surprised she ain't jumping and just get that wig. I love Cardi B, too, but you gotta be a hell of a fan to buy a piece of a Cardi B wig. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. All right.

Thank you, Miss Yee. The People's Choice Mix is up next. Get your request in. Let me know what you want to hear. At DJ Envy. Shout out to Revolt. Revolt, we'll see you guys tomorrow. I'm surprised Revolt hit. Why? Because we took a week off last week.

I'm surprised Revolt didn't take two. Oh, don't tell them that. When's y'all next week off, Steve? Next week. Tomorrow. He said tomorrow. Yeah, right. All right.

People's Choice Mix is up next, y'all. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Again, shout out to everybody I've seen out in Jamaica. I've seen so many different people in Jamaica. I took the family out there. We stayed at the Moon Palace. We had such an amazing time.

And then I went out to New Orleans. So shout out to everybody also in New Orleans. I have so much fun when I go to New Orleans. Yeah, it actually was a really fun trip. A lot of great events. Essence Festival is really amazing. It was their 25th anniversary this year of that Essence Festival. So Michelle Obama sat down and talked with Gayle King. That was one of the highlights for a lot of people of that trip.

But everyone was out there. It was really, I love Essence Festival. I think I've been every year for like the past six years. Yeah, I had a really good time. They said ever since Girls Tripped the Movie, they said it's even more packed and even better. So we had a great time. We did some stuff for Revolt and AT&T out there. We did some stuff for Pepsi out there.

I just had a good time out there. Yeah, I came straight from Bermuda. You came straight from Jamaica. That's right. Oh, I stayed in Anguilla. I didn't get back until yesterday. Salute to everybody on the beautiful island of Anguilla. That's my favorite place on the planet.

I was there for the past 10 days, man. I love that place so much because it's like 86% black people. And, you know, everything is black-owned, mostly. And the land is either, if it's not black-owned, the land is owned by black people. So when you're there, you're just really supporting your own. So salute to all my people in Angola. They treat me like I'm from there. Well, New Orleans this weekend is about 98% black people.

Definitely. There were some people, I guess, who probably just went there for Fourth of July, like some white people that looked like they had no idea what was going on. What was happening. Where am I at? Great time. All right. Well, when we come back, positive note, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Degas. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a shout out to Bashir and Diallo Riddle for joining us. That's right.

Bashir and Diallo are two very interesting individuals, man. Yeah, they're pretty funny. And the show, they actually sent us a couple of screeners for the first couple of episodes.

It's really funny. So I know everyone's going to enjoy it. And I've been seeing the previews playing all over the past week. All right. Well, leave us with a positive note. Listen, the positive note is simply this, man. I want to tell people out there to live less out of habit and more out of intent. Breakfast club, bitches!

Y'all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
