Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.

Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin.

Toronto! Hey, good morning, guys. What's happening? What's up? How y'all feeling this morning? I am blessed black and highly favored. And somewhere between O and K. But that's always the case.

Okay. What about you, Yeezy? the case. Okay. All right. Mm-hmm. What about you, Yeezy? I'm good. I'm good. No complaints here. I was catching up on some television yesterday.

I watched The Chi. Have y'all been watching The Chi? No, I haven't. No, I'm not going to lie. The Chi kind of lost me this season just a little bit. I started watching early on, but it's just too confusing because it's just they didn't tie up a lot of loose ends from last season. They didn't explain a lot

of things that didn't happen last season. And it's just a lot going on. I'm going to finish this season. But, yeah. I felt like I had to because I've been dedicated to it, but it's not my favorite season of The Chi at all. There's a lot of weird things happening.

Yeah, it's just all over the place. I'm going to tell you what's good, though, even if it's only two episodes deep. Love Craft Country on HBO. That's my kind of show because I'm into science fiction, and I love science fiction starring black people, so I really, really, really like Love Craft Country. You know, it's only been two

episodes, and I wish that we could binge watch it. I do not like having to wait week after week to watch TV shows. I thought I did and sometimes I do, but in a situation like this, I don't. I'd rather just get it all over because it's a good show. I enjoy it.

Someone was telling me the book is really good. I assumed it was based off a book, but I haven't ever read the book. But the TV show is good. I haven't had no time to watch no damn TV. I'm moving, so I'm packing boxes.

But you know what I'm doing today that I'm actually nervous about? I have to get the COVID test. Coronavirus. Oh, okay. I've been got those a few times. Yeah. All the plastic surgery you've had,

that's nothing compared to the COVID test is nothing compared to that you've had cheek implants you'll be fine like I said they're actually coming to do it during the show this morning so I guess around 8 o'clock

8.30ish they're doing it so what it is is of course Madison is going to college. So before she goes to college, she has to take the test to make sure she's clear before she can go. She has to check in this week. So she's scared to do it. So I am going to do it with her

because I'm her dad. I didn't know that they do. The nurse called me yesterday said they do both nostrils. Not where I got mine done. Nope, just one. Well, you won't like this, but they don't go as deep as they used to either. They don't have to go as deep in. It's actually, yeah, it's not that bad.

The first time I got it, it was way worse. And then when I just got it on Thursday, it was a lot better. Okay. It wasn't as bad. They don't go as deep, so if you want like that, but yes, they still do the swab test. I had an antibody test last week only because I had got a physical,

because I hadn't gotten a physical yet this year, because, you know, the year got away from us, right? So I went and got a physical, and they did an antibody test on me. I didn't have no antibodies, so that means I've never had COVID-19. I've heard recently that the antibody test is a waste of time. I don't know how true

that is. No, I had a couple of friends that actually had it, that took the antibody test and actually had it. But yeah, she's gonna be doing that this morning, so you guys will get to see that, because we'll still be on air when she does that test. So, I'm nervous. I'm probably gonna cry and scream and squeal, but... No, you're not.

It's like one second. You definitely shouldn't. It's not that bad now. But they do say new guidelines say coronavirus antibody tests are pointless. Hold on. Go ahead. I got to hear this. Go ahead.

Say it. I was just going to say you've had things put into you before for a much longer period of time. Way deeper. You'll be fine, Envy. Come on, guy. Let's start the show, matter of fact. We have a legend, an icon in the building today. We're on the Zoom.

That's right. Well, Nas will be joining us this morning. That's right. Yes. God's son, Nasty Nas. Now, I know a lot of you probably know this story. Some of you don't. But do you know Nas actually pulled a gun on me before?

Oh, my God. We're going to verify. I'm sure you deserve it. Or not. Nas actually pulled a gun on me. Yeah, Nas could have killed me. I'm sure you deserve it. Think about it.

Nas could have shot me and killed me and died. I think that. I'm not going to say you deserved all of that. You definitely didn't deserve to get shot, killed, and whatever you say. But, yes, I can see why he might have done that. You deserve maybe a slap. Maybe a slap. Yeah, so not yet. You deserve maybe a slap. Maybe a slap. Yeah.

So not yet. Maybe just a freeze. Maybe a freeze. He deserves a freeze. Freeze. Freeze. Mark, who goes there? Yeah.

So Nas is the reason why I don't run up on artists or MCs or rappers anymore. I will not. Stop being a groupie. I wasn't a groupie. I was giving him my mixtape. I was like, Nas, here you go. Here's my mixtape I was like Nas here you go here's my mixtape I got something for you and then he pulled out a gun and said what you got for me son

what you got for me I said a mixtape I'm glad he killed the groupie in you but he's got a great new album out called King's Disease that is an incredible incredible body of work and I can't wait to discuss with Nasir Jones this morning alright well we got front page

news coming up. What are we talking about? Well, I didn't hear any of you say that you were watching the Republican National Convention last night, but we can discuss. I did. I did watch a little bit of it. I watched that couple weeks ago. I thought it was entertaining. Yeah, it was very entertaining. Alright, well we'll get into that next. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with the Republican National Convention for last night. Donald Trump did make an appearance. And could you imagine if Donald Trump gets reelected, what is that going to be like?

Well, listen to this. Four more years! Four more years! If you want to really drive him crazy, you say 12 more years. 12 more years! 12 more years! Because we caught them doing some really bad things in 2016. Let's see what happens. We have to be very careful because they're trying it again with this whole 80 million mail-in ballots that they're working on.

Y'all gonna stop treating Charlemagne like he's the monkey in the Lion King Rafiki, okay? I've been telling y'all Donald Trump is gonna try his hardest to repeal that law in the Constitution and stay past two terms if he gets it in this time. Donald Trump Jr. spoke and cocaine was trending after that. Just a few short months ago, we were seeing the American dream become a reality. The greatest prolonged economic expansion in American history. The lowest unemployment rate in nearly 50 years. And then, courtesy of the Chinese Communist Party, the virus struck. The president quickly took action and shut down travel from China. Joe Biden and his Democrat allies called my father a racist and a xenophobe for doing it.

They put political correctness ahead of the safety and security of the American people. Let me tell you something. First of all, I was highly entertained by the RNC convention. I was in and out, but I was also on the phone. So I was in and out, but I did watch Donald Trump Jr. speech. Y'all can say he was on cocaine all y'all want. But one thing Republicans do better than Dems is be very clear about their messaging. And it's amazing how people started talking about him being on cocaine as opposed to speaking about him saying that we need to put an end to racism and police who kill people should be held accountable. I don't give a damn if he was on cocaine or not.

You get on a big platform like that and you say that at a time like this, I like the messaging, all right? And that's what we should have been playing and letting people hear over and over and over again instead of talking about him being on some damn cocaine. That message is very clear. Other speakers included the couple from st louis who pointed guns

at peaceful black lives matter protesters marching past their mansion and here are the mccloskeys not a single person in the out of control mob you saw at our house was charged with a crime but you know who was we were on top of that the marxist liberal activist leading the mob to our neighborhood stood outside our home with a bullhorn screaming you can't stop the revolution just weeks later that same marxist activist won the democrat nomination to hold a seat in the u.S. House of Representatives. Just because you have a bullhorn does not mean that you're not peaceful, okay? People have a right to peacefully protest and peacefully march,

and you don't have to pull guns on them. You can actually use a weapon if you feel like you're in danger, but they were not in any type of danger and any type of threat. Yeah, the person with the bullhorn is not the troublemaker here. The person with the gun is. So that would have been y'all too. But I must say again, a broken clock can be right twice a day and so can a cocaine, allegedly.

Donald Trump Jr. said we need to put an end to racism and police who kill unarmed people should be held accountable. I'm stamping that message. God damn it. I don't care who said it. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News.

All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Call us right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

And I go by the name Q Ward. And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher. That's right. We're going to discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people, but in a way that informs and empowers all people to hopefully create better allies.

Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Jose Luis. All right, what's up, brother? Get it off your chest.

Yes, sir. I want to get it off my chest. I want to get out of the fact that no one is speaking about a fit test or wearing a mask. A fit test? What do you mean? Yes, I'm a safety director, as a matter of fact. When a person wears a mask in construction, is it a finisher or whoever,

they have to go to a clinic and get a test on their lungs. You know that their lung is actually a muscle. Therefore, you have to get fit tested. They'll put a mask on you, and they'll put a little drop of banana oil. They'll ask you from 1 to 10, can you smell it? And then they'll put cherry mask on you and they'll put a little drop of banana oil. They'll ask you for one to ten. Can you smell it? And then they'll put cherry, for example.

And it's a test to see if your lungs have the capacity to vote either type of mask. And I can't believe that the government is asking us to wear a mask. We're not even allowed or we haven't even been speaking about having a fit test. Test your lungs first. Got you. True. True. Okay. That makes sense. Hello, who's this?

This is John from Florida. Hey, John. Hello, John. Too much Florida this morning. I don't like it. Solomon, I'm originally from Boston, Massachusetts. Good morning, you guys. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. Hey, I'm not sure if you guys know what's going on in Fort Hood, Texas. No, what's going on? Tell us. There's a young man, a young caverty man from Brockton, Massachusetts, who's gone missing. I sent you guys the link yesterday. I'm not sure if you guys received it or not on your Instagram.

No, I didn't see it, my brother. What happened? Do they know? I didn't see it, my brother. What happened? Did they know? I could be involved in this, man. This is, what, the third or fourth person being missed. So tell us more. What's the call to action? What's the man's name?

The man's name is Elder Fernandez. You know, he's 23 years old. He was sexually abused and went to the hospital. After the hospital, he's been missing now for about a week, and they're not really giving any information to the family. The family's in Texas now trying to get information. They're giving them the runaround. Wow. So what do you think?

I think the FBI needs to be involved, man. You know, something needs to happen out there, man. This is crazy, you know? I'm reading about it right now. Give us the brother name again so we can go look up the case and other people listening can go look up the case, man. This is crazy, you know? I'm reading about it right now. Give us the brother name again so we can go look up the case and other people listening can go look up the case, King. His name is Eldos, spelled E-L-D-E-R

Fernandez. F-E-R-N-A-N-D-E-S. Alright, man. My man. Thank you, brother. Peace, King. They said he's been missing for a week in an ongoing abusive sexual contact investigation. He was last seen by his staff sergeant Monday afternoon when he dropped him off at his residence.

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

This is your time to get it off your chest. Say it, say it with your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Oh, this is Tyson Chicago. Chi-Town. What's happening, King? Oh, yeah, okay, I'm online.

What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. You here with us, my brother. What's happening, brother? Oh, now, I want to get it off my chest, man. I never quit a job. Tell them beforehand. I didn't even get my last check.

I told them beforehand I was going to quit. Go to another company. They didn't even get my last check. Should I sue them? What should I do? They got to give you your money. That's crazy. I got bills, man.

Can I give another shout out? Go ahead, bro. Okay. Charlamagne always disses all the rappers on here. They be good rappers like the dude from last week. He was a good rapper, man. He just needs some good beats, man. Y'all need some beats, hit me up at Titus underscore Beatmonger on IG.

All right, bro. How much do they owe you, Titus? They owe me $4,500. Oh, yeah, they got to pay that. Yeah, you got to get your money. Yeah, they got to pay that. Yeah, they got to pay. Hopefully.

I don't think you're telling us the whole story. No, I'm telling you the whole story, man. The truth is nothing but the truth. Thank you, brother. I'll let you later. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's happening, man? It's Ben.

Whatever like that. It was lit. It was lit. You know what I'm saying? That's my queen. Happy anniversary. And then for two, for two, man, I really want y'all to, I called like a couple of months ago and I told y'all about my son.

He's like, Megan. And I had got a good response or whatever like that. And I just want y'all to go check it out. Y'all might like Megan. And I had got a good response or whatever like that. And I just want y'all to go check it out. Y'all might like it. I sampled y'all because I took the call. I did from the last one. Okay.

I'm going to check it out. All right, brother. One thing I like about New Orleans, New Orleans people, even the guys, are not afraid to just dance. Like, they dance very freely. You know what I mean? You love that, I know. It's very gender fluid.

Mm-hmm. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way? Yes, and let's talk about food. That's a good topic. Travis Scott will tell you who he's collaborating with.

And also Wiz Khalifa. He has a new venture, and it all has to do with food. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kobe. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, yesterday was Kobe Bryant Day, Monday, August 24th. And they've also motioned for three miles of Figueroa Street to be renamed to Kobe Bryant Boulevard. So the street name would go from Olympic Boulevard, which is near the Staples Center, to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

And you know, yesterday, that's dope. Yesterday during the first quarter of the Lakers-Trailblazers game, at one point the score was 24-8 with the Lakers up. I thought that was some good energy. Yes, so I think that's an amazing way to celebrate Kobe Bryant. Now Wiz Khalifa has announced Hot Box by Wiz. It's a delivery only restaurant chain. So he has partnered with

a virtual restaurant brand curator Next Bite and he's doing this delivery only restaurant and it's going to be open for business on October 1st. So he personally curated the menu and has some of his favorite food on there which is blazed ends, crispy savory burnt brisket

ends smothered in a smoky sweet barbecue sauce. Taylor gang turkey burgers. Also, he'll have a side of chip hits, crispy house made chips and Parmesan and lemon mac and yellow, which is of course mac and cheese and the mile high dark chocolate brownie, which is dessert. That sounds amazing. I thought that he was going to come to your house and smoke with you. I was like, wow, that'd be something cool. Because, you know, we live in a time right now where people be feeling lonely and need somebody to talk to.

You don't want nobody in your house like that now. Especially somebody that's traveling. Hot boxing is in the car. Hot boxing is in the car. They pull up, you come smoke in the car with you. Plus, if you smoke with Wiz, your day is over. There's no more things happening. It's no productivity after that. For everybody who has smoke with Wiz, your day is over. There's no more things happening. It's no productivity after

that for everybody who has smoked with Wiz to ever know. Remember, he bought us some weed before, some Khalifa Kush. Quite a few times. Even ran into him in the street, and he always got some pre-rolls on deck. Well, you can order from Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates, and Grubhub. Again, that'll

be available October 1st, and it'll be in Pittsburgh, LA, San Diego DC Indianapolis Houston and New York City Travis Scott is going to be working with McDonald's so they haven't leaked out all the details but there is a memo that leaked out from McDonald's from their chief marketing officer and they said from his impossible to get Nike sneaker line to a cereal collab with General Mills that sold out in 30 seconds to a record-setting virtual concert series inside Fortnite, Travis Scott is

the definition of big in culture. Beyond this, he is a true fan of McDonald's and our craveable, iconic food. He will resonate and spark excitement with our youthful, multicultural customers. What is he selling? You got his own burger? You got his own milkshake?

But they're going to announce the partnership officially in early September, but they haven't said what it is yet. Okay. What's Travis' last name? It's Scott. Who the hell is Travis McCoy? Isn't that Travis McCoy? I don't know. Travis McCoy. Isn't he from Gym Class Heroes

or something? I thought Travis McCoy was a rapper too from Gym Class Heroes or something? Travis McCoy. Oh, I want to be. I thought Travis McCoy was a rapper too. So freaking bad. That's not him, right? I think that is him from Gym Class Heroes. I'm just saying, I was thinking about the whole McCoy McDonald's. That would be a good partnership as well. But never mind.

All right. And Big Sean, he announced that his new album, Detroit 2, which is the sequel to 2012's Detroit has a release date September 4th so the first thing he did was share a new single from the album and it features Nipsey Hussle now the song is called Deep Reverence we are going to play it in its entirety before Front Page News but we do want to give you some highlights of what he talks about on this song now amongst the things that he discusses is uh some type of friction with kendrick lamar listen to this after what happened in ipsy i reached out to kendrick it wasn't even no real issues there to begin with lack of communication

and wrong information from people fueled by the ego it's like mixing flames with diesel energy crazy i realize that it's a two-way street what's coming is going If it don't give you more, it drains you Should be a billionaire Based on the time off I'm not taking Probably why this shit with me get crazy And we lost a baby I remember when him and K-Dot was alleged to have some issues.

It was throwing bars at each other here and there. Right, some subliminals. I actually heard this song and I asked Big Sean what happened with him and Kendrick and he gave the whole breakdown of what went down. And I know we're going to have him on the show soon, so we'll let him tell it. Now, he also references a time when he had suicidal thoughts.

Listen to this. In high school, I learned chemistry, biology, but not how to cope with anxiety. Or how I could feel like I'm by myself on an island with depression on all sides of me. With a Glock 17 right on the side of me. Look, I ain't think I had a thought of suicide in me until life showed me all these different sides of me. Too many times I thought the Reaper was outside for me. Yeah, I love Big Sean on there speaking on his mental health

and especially how in school they don't teach us how to deal with our anxiety. That's why we need social and emotional learning in all grade schools to help brothers and sisters cope. Absolutely. All the stress these kids are going through, they don't know how to deal with it. So you're absolutely right. Yep. Need SEL in schools.

Well, Big Sean was locked in and he was working with Hit Boy for this album. Also, it's executive produced by Kanye as well. So Hit Boy said, I watched bro Big Sean lock in for hours till every bar hit how he wanted it to. His vision was clear from the jump. This is some of his most elevated work on every level. Proud is an understatement. Very tough record to listen to, though, because you can tell Nipsey didn't get to finish his verse.

And, you know, I hear it and I say, I just can't believe you Negroes took Nipsey away from us. How you just took Nipsey from the planet like that. But, you know, damn. Rest in peace to Nip Hustle. And Deep Reverence is a great name for that record because people definitely have a deep reverence for Nipsey Hustle.

Well, make sure you keep listening. We are about to play that song in full. And it is called, the album is called Detroit Too. So I'm sure there's going to be some Detroit artists on there as well. We'll look forward to that. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. Alright, thank

you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news coming up. Alright, not to scare anybody, but they are saying they have the first documented case of someone getting coronavirus for the second time. Oh boy. Alright, well 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 Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with night one of the Republican National Convention that happened yesterday. Another person who spoke is Donald Trump Jr.'s girlfriend, by the way, former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. Here's what she had to say. President Trump is the leader who will rebuild the promise of America and ensure that every citizen can realize their American dream.

Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and liberty and the American dream. The best is yet to come. Yeah, I definitely turned her off because she was yelling at me. I didn't want to be yelling at her. Everybody was talking about her yelling. I thought it was just me. I was trying to type and watch that, and I put her on mute. I was like, why is she yelling at me?

The late night host last night were having a field day with her speech. And she also talked about California. She said the state used to be pristine, but the Democrats turned it into a land of discarded heroin needles in parks, riots in the streets, and blackouts at home. And she, by the way, did used to be married to the governor of California. That's reason to scream. There's heroin needles all over the place. I can understand why she'd be screaming about that.

I don't look at California that way. Neither do I. But I haven't been all through California either, though. All right. Now, Donald Trump Jr. had this to say about police brutality. All men and women are created equal and must be treated equally under the law. That's why we must put an end to racism. And we must ensure that any police

officer who abuses their powers is held accountable. What happened to George Floyd is a disgrace and if you know a police officer, you know they agree with that too. Listen, a broken clock can be right twice a day and so can a man allegedly high on cocaine. All right, I was so happy to see the Shade Room post this last night. Do not let them deflect from what he said. I don't care who Sonny is. I don't care if he really feels that way. He said we must end racism and any police officer who abuses their power should be held accountable. That should be chopped up and running in a Joe Biden campaign ad today. Whenever a Republican or a Trump supporter starts talking to you about there is no racism and systemic racism isn't the reason cops kill, you know, unarmed black people people play that clip from donald trump donald trump jr okay meanwhile you

got joe biden talking about adding more police no we need police reform and the way police officers are trained to respond to certain situations needs to be changed completely and like donald trump jr said we must put it in to racism and police who abuse their power should be held accountable. Period. All right. The first documented coronavirus reinfection has been reported in Hong Kong. And what they are saying is it's a 33 year old man. He was infected a second time more than four months after the first time. And so now they are saying the finding was not unexpected because of the millions of

people who have been infected worldwide the man had no symptoms the second time which suggests that even though the prior exposure did not prevent the reinfection his immune system actually kept the virus somewhat in check so it was asymptomatic the second time around his immune response prevented the disease from getting worse and they said it's kind of a textbook example of how immunity should work. So people who do not have symptoms may still spread the virus to others, however. And that's why the importance of vaccines

still comes into play. I have so many questions. Well, I would like to know, yeah, I would like to know if he was asymptomatic the first time. Was he asymptomatic the first time? The first time he had mild symptoms. And the second time, how did he have symptoms?

What made him go check himself? Because if you got it already, I wouldn't go check myself unless I had symptoms, right? And how do we know he had coronavirus the first time? How do we know he ain't just had a cold or the flu? He went to the hospital and got tested. Well, so what? The symptoms are the same.

So what? You say he had mild symptoms. What were those mild symptoms? Okay, so the first case was diagnosed March 26th. He only had mild symptoms. He was hospitalized on March 29th, even though his symptoms had subsided. And he was released April 14th after he had tested negative for the virus twice. He had no detectable antibodies after his first bout.

Then he tested positive again after he went on a trip to Spain via the UK. The test was administered at the airport. I'm not saying it's not true. All I'm saying is the NFL is currently investigating 77 false positive coronavirus tests. So this man, we don't know if this man has ever had corona. We don't know. I don't trust any of these tests.

I just don't. You're telling me the antibody tests don't matter That's what y'all told me this morning Nah this guy Was Was Passed it the first time Had two more negative ones

Now he got another one As I said he passed it Passed it the first time Had two negative tests the next time Then he Passed it again Like ah man We don't know

They don't know what's going on really Alright Well That is your front page news I'm about to take my test In about an hour so we don't know. They don't know what's going on really. Alright, well, that is your front page news. I'm about to take my test in about an hour, so I don't want to wait. Yeah, I'm nervous. You might tear up a little. I definitely will tear up.

I'm not going to sit here. I probably will cry. It looks painful. They got the anal swab too. That might be more up your alley. No, I'm sure it'll be more up your alley. But alright, when we come back. The anal swab, you get it back in 69 seconds. You get your results back in exactly 69 seconds. Well, I don't know who lied to you, Charlamagne,

but it sounds like someone took advantage of you. Yeah, you tried it. It sounds like you tried it before and you enjoyed it. You did it a couple of times, didn't you? They got the anal swab test. Anal swab spit test. See? See, what's wrong with you, man?

Come on, man. We got a legend walking in here, man. Come on. We do. He's not walking in. Stop lying. See, you've been doing radio so long that you lying to people about somebody walking in and we all at home. All right?

You know what I mean. He'll be on the line in a second. Nas will be joining us. Nas will be joining us when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. It only took us 10 years to get this individual on The Breakfast Club. And he doesn't do more. He doesn't do more than this, ladies and gentlemen. But he's here with us this morning. Ladies and gentlemen, Nas. Thank you. Honored to be here.

First of all, I got to give you a round of applause on putting out an amazing body of work in King's Disease. Album is dope, man. Very, very, very refreshing. I call it adult contemporary hip-hop. You know, when you're over 40, you need something to be under the pergola sipping your cognac to, so I appreciate it.

Appreciate that, man. What is King's disease? It's the thing that comes when you're on top of your game. You know, you can overindulge in things that could be a demise. You can, it comes with not being on point. I mean, it comes from gout and, you know, these terms that were from eating too much rich food, drinking too much wine, but I flipped it into a lot more. Like being a king, watch out for hate, watch out for diseasing yourself with being drunk

on power and ego, you know. It's a multi-layered, man. I see you hooked up with Hit-Boy on this one. How did you and Hit-Boy get up? being drunk on power and ego, you know. It's multilayered, man. I see you hooked up with Hit-Boy on this one. How did you and Hit-Boy get up? Me and Hit, we met years ago. We was, I was trying to work with him a long time ago. I just admired his work.

So I just came by to see him to get a beat. I just felt like work, and I came by and got a beat, and I didn't leave. We just, we got into a zone and then they said, you know, we're working on an album. And you got a firm reunion on the album. So who was that? Was that you that said, yo, we got to do this?

Did somebody come to you and say, let's put out a song? Hit boy. It was Hit. He said, yo, we need to get AZ on the track. And I was just like, wow. Like, I knew that was going to

happen. I knew that was going to happen. I knew that was going to happen. I knew that was going to happen. I knew that was going to happen. I knew that was going to happen. I knew that was going to happen. I knew that was going to happen. I knew that was Hit. He said, yo, we need to get AZ on the track. And I was just like, wow. I knew he was really invested in,

I knew he really was serious about what we was working on when he mentioned A. And I knew AZ was working on his new stuff too, so it was perfect timing. And then G-Code was like, why don't you call Mega and Foxy Brown? And I just, it just, light bulbs was going off. And it was just like, let's get at it. So who is in the firm?

Because I was like, where's Nature? Where's Nature? Why didn't Nature make the record? Is Mega Fox? Is it Nature? Who's the firm? AZ? Yeah, it started with me, AZ, called Mega and Foxy Brown. And that's the one we did Affirmative Action on my album.

And after that, it was like a split had happened. Me and Mega fell out crazy. And it never panned out the way it was supposed to with that four. And we went on and did the album. Nature's on the album. And Nori's on the album. You know, wanted to get back to me and Megan. Once we talked, it was just like,

let's bring that formula back for this record. It's a great time. I was just checking on him, see how he was, see how he was doing in this, because we didn't know what tomorrow was going to bring. And you know what I'm saying? It's just like, this is a great time just to catch up anyway. So we just caught up and put and continued from affirmative action, you know, full circle.

Right. And Dr. Dre even pops up on it too. Yeah, that's the secret, the secret sauce in the song right there. Dr. Dre, he came at the end and really made it full circle. Yeah, shout out to Dre. AZ really doesn't ride on elevators, huh? Was that always a thing even back then? Like he won't get in an elevator?

What? How do you know that? He takes elevators, he takes elevators, but I mean, where are you going? Not packed elevators. No, listen, because I had a birthday party. I was at the bowling alley and he came,

but he wouldn't come upstairs because he doesn't ride elevators. And I- I think he said he got stuck in the elevator as a kid. I don't know. I didn't know that. I didn't know he still don't ride elevators. He's still elevated though.

He's still elevating. And you did some collaborations with artists you've never worked with before. So I thought that was pretty fresh with this too. It's a nice balance. Like we get the nostalgia with the firm, but then we see you with Anderson.Paak. You know, we see you with other artists that you haven't worked with previously. So how do you decide what collaborations you want to do? Well, with working with Hit, it was like, was like, he really was in the front seat, driver's seat. We both were driving, but, you know, he has his ideas. He has his ideas and directions and stuff. So, you know, with Big Sean, too,

it was like we felt what needed to happen, who we needed to work with. We just wanted to work with the perfect people for each song. Before we get back to Kings of Zeed, because Kingzazeed is so phenomenal, what do you think went wrong with the Kanye West album? I don't know what went wrong. I would say I did want to work more with him. We spent some time there, but, I mean,

I was working on ideas. He would give me, like, a few loops, and I would write to them, but they wasn't finished. And I was just trying to... He was working on a lot. He had Cudi, Tiana Taylor. He had his album. And I was the only one coming in starting fresh.

So I got the less time with him. You know, we really did that album, like, that week that it was supposed to come out. It seemed a little rushed. Like even with Cop Shop the Kid, like that idea, insane. Slick Rick sample. But it just seemed like the way the loops was on top of each other was hard to hear. It just seemed like it was rushed.

And I'm like, ah. Yeah, I kind of felt that too. It just went crazy. It just went crazy. Once we announced we was doing an album, it just went crazy after that, you know? I definitely wanted to work with him a lot more than we did. Do you regret that album? No. No.

I like Copshot the Kid. I like Adam and Eve. I like the music in Simple Things in Life. I like, you know, it's a short album. We just didn't get enough time to really, I wish we worked on it more, but certain things happen for reasons. When you first came on the scene

and you signed your first deal, back then everybody was raping artists, getting artists, you signing artists, not getting your necessary publishing. How was your first deal as a young artist, as a team? I thought it was amazing. Because back then we thought only R&B artists were getting like real deals, like big budgets, because their records could go a lot further

than hip-hop records at the time. So to get, I got like a $250,000 budget overall, you know, like for my pocket, I think was $30,000, something like that. But, you know, back then. That was everything. I was good. It was decent, you know, but it was a learning process. And I knew it was going to be signing the contract.

You know, what leverage do you have? They betting on you. You know what I'm saying? They putting up everything. And I just wanted the opportunity. I was just happy. All I needed was the opportunity, and I'll take it from there. All right, we got more with Nas.

When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Nas. Yee. You feel like you celebrate life a We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Nas. Yee.

You feel like you celebrate life a lot more now than you did when you were younger. I feel like you weren't that big on wanting to do interviews or talk about your personal life. But now it feels like you're in a good space. Like it's been, like you said, 27 summers since Illmatic even came out. And now you've got your venture capitalism going on. You have restaurants. He celebrated. He was partying back in the day.

You could catch Nas in any club in New York City back in the day. It feels a little different now. It feels like a more, I don't know, grown mature type of celebration because it feels real stable for you, just with everything going on. I woke up and I said, I made it. I got to be proud of this.

You know, I got to. You wake up, you run for so long that you don't have time to stop and look around and, you know, you're just running and, you know, then you get to a point in your life where you're like, okay, I can settle down and kind of chill and like, all right, let's talk

about it. Let's talk about this. Yeah, I think I'm happy. I think considering all the times that we're in, you know, I think I'm at a strong place. I mean, you can tell even on the definition, you're talking about gout and getting your uric acid levels up high and drinking lemongrass and cherries, alkaline water. Are you giving people the blueprint how to live? Got to. You know, it's all about balance, moderation, taking in the right things into your body. That's important. That's important to me. And on speaking of that song, shout

out to Brucey B. Yes. The pilot. So happy to have him on the record. And a record I talk about a lot of things, including somebody who I say is cool with me, Gayle King. And I think she's a bright light, but there was things that had happened that made me a little upset.

And it made me just open up and say things that, you know, that I think we can bring, that can push us all into a better place if we, you know, just talk about it. But it's all love. That was a very barbershop moment, though. What the f*** is up with Gayle King? Like, that was a very, but you had some good stories. That's what it was. That was a very, but you had some good stuff.

That's what it was. It was natural. I didn't plan that. I didn't plan that. I didn't know what was going to happen. It just came out. But, you know,

I know she means well. I know she means well. But me being, I know what that's like to be accused of some bulls**t. So, you know, that's it. But, you know,

on another note, on the health side of it, of that same song, I had a friend who had King's disease too. I knew about two, three people that had this thing. And it's about your diet. You know what I'm saying? Taking care of yourself. So on the definition, I wanted to end it with that.

Like, take care of self. You had a good line on that song too, even after the Gayle King thing, when you talk about journalism or internalism. Like, what's of self. You had a good line on that song, too, even after the Gayle King thing, when you talk about journalism or internalism. Like, what's the difference to you? I mean, it's sort of like what you guys do. It is what you guys do. You guys do great journalism. I'm not just saying that because we hear everybody knows that about you guys.

You guys are the ones. So it's like there's a side of it where there's an integrity part, but there's also a side of it where you have to do great journalism. And it's like, which part of it is, you guys got a hard job. It's like, what part of it do you throw everything out the window and what part of it do you carry yourself in there with some integrity and do it like the greats did it, you know what I mean? Now, Envy has told us,

and I'm glad that we have you here to clear this up. Oh, boy. You had an issue with him telling a story about an interaction that he had where you allegedly had to approach him. He didn't pull out an allegedly. He pulled out a gun on me. It's alleged.

It's alleged. It's not that damn alleged. It was me. I was like 19 years old. I was in the back of Jamaica Avenue. I get one up to Nas with my book bag. I said, I got something for you in my bag. He said, what you got for me?

When I went in the bag to pull out a mixtape, Nas had a gun. And I was like, it's just a mixtape. He's like, don't do that. You know how the streets are. And he got in his GS and he took off. That was real. There was no allegedly he did it. That was before Bodyguard That was before Before I was used to people recognizing me

That happened A couple of times and that definitely happened With DJ Envy I didn't know you at the time It's Jamaica Queens You know how volatile Jamaica Queens is You know so Love man love Nas I want you to know

That's the first DJ Envy war story that has ever been confirmed on The Breakfast Club. All his other street war stories don't be adding up. He's the only person there. You're the first person to confirm one. Damn, Envy. Why'd you have to say anything? Listen, I feel like on King's disease, black women were a real muse for this album. Am I right?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. They are the backbone. They are everything. And when I put out Lost Tapes the other time, I was thinking about it. I'm like, I'm really, I'm a rappity rap kind of guy. I like to rap. And in that case, that's like, there's no songs about the women in my life. So I had to change that to open that up. I needed that conversation. I needed to be more transparent with women and dating and life. And, you know, yeah. It was so on point.

Like when I heard Tell the War is won, I'm like, yo, did he write this yesterday? Because literally all Friday, it was protect black women, protect black women, protect black women. So I'm like, wow. How have black women shown up for you in your life? It starts with my mom's, you know? She was a great example, and I didn't listen to her.

She would try to warn me about, you know, like the song says, take your time, young man. And I didn't listen. I was just running around, you know. But, you know, in hindsight, retrospect, her words are, they with me now, you know. So it started with her. She's the example.

And then even more now than it used to be. And, you know, it's all love. It's all love. What does winning the war look like to you? When you say it's not over until the war is won, what does winning the war look like to you? That means all people, all ethnicities, wising up, getting over yourselves,

get out of ignorance, educated on all of our differences so we could coexist in this world, in this country, the war of good versus evil that we're in right now. What's the old Nas? Like I see on the app, we say- Looking at him. What is the old Nas? People say, oh, you want the old Nas?

Listen to an old piece of it. What are people saying they is the old nines? People say, oh, you want the old nines? Listen to an old music. What are people saying they want the old nines? What is the old nines? It leaned a little bit more to what the younger guys would talk about, even to today. Street stuff. Street stuff is always going to be number one. That's going to be me, but going over the top.

The stuff we like, the stuff, the hardest stuff, the hardest, hardest, hardest stuff. You might not hear that from me the way it was because I'm different, but you always got those clue tapes and all of that. You wouldn't snuff Jesus at the age you had now. No. All right, we got more with Nas when we come back. Let's get into his newest joint, Ultra Black.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Nas Yee. Now, look, you have songs like Replace Me, and we don't ever hear you too much in interviews

talking about relationships. So I got to ask you, have you ever had your heart broken? Yeah, 16 years old. This girl named Tia. Tia, I'm sorry, I put your name out there wherever you are. But I also mentioned her on Car 85. But then after that, it was all of them, man. All of them, man. My baby mamas, all of them. man. All of them, man.

My baby mamas, all of them. You know what I mean? It's life. You go through it. How many young girls jumped in your DM when they heard you say you're a sugar daddy? I mean, you said you put it out there. Now you say you're a sugar daddy.

You know what? I could speak like that because I'm really not. Let's clear that up. Because it's past tense. It's past, you know, I've been there. I'm a lot slower. I slow down a lot. I slow down, you know.

I was dating the same girls, the young rapper dudes. Drinking. Yeah, that's just rhyming. That's just bars. I just threw their name out there. It's always rhyming somebody's name and it gets you into trouble because then people be like,

who is he talking about? Like, you know, you say Doja Cat's name, but that was just because you said it rhymed with the song. When I talked to a girl one time, she told me about this dude. And I didn't know who he was, but he's some new rapper that, you know, was really crazy about her.

But she seemed so mature, and she's dealing with this young rapper, and it was like, I was just like, I'm running into the same women that the young dudes, you know what I'm saying? straight. You also, you also say, oh. Not anymore, not anymore. I'm about to ask, did Roxanne Shante really threaten you?

At the end of the movie, you know, she comes up to you and you were the rapper. Did she really threaten you and say, get your stuff together, I'm gonna punch you in your face? Was that true? No, she said, next time I see you, if you don't have this together, I'm you up. So I was hiding from her.

I was hiding from her, because, you know, she was hiding from her because, you know, she was tough. You know, she was tough. And she was serious. And that showed me how serious the game is. That showed me how serious you got to be about this. And she was a girl. And back in those days, she was speaking to you, TFO,

in a way that in the society we lived in, we wasn't used to women talking to somebody like that. Like, I would hear the older guys saying, you know, upset about some of her lyrics in the song because I'm learning from this world. I mean, I'm like, oh, they're not used to women, you know, bucking back Roxanne's revenge. I'm like, so in her own right, Roxanne Shante is like a freedom fighter through hip hop.

You know what I'm saying? So I acknowledge that and always looked up to her. Now, you also had said you had another secret project that's supposed to be happening. Is that still happening? Yes. Give us a little note. you had another secret project that's supposed to be happening is that still happening yes is it music what is it it's music um what i was talking about was music okay how have you felt nas about the criticism that you know your production has always been lackluster that's what people always say about nas he He don't have the beats.

I don't know. I think that people may... I know I choose to rap on things that I like. You know, I'm a rappity. I'm like the rap type of guy, so I just like to rap on beats that allow me to open up. I think, you know, things just snowball, and it's just one of the things people talk about, but I don't get it.

I work with some of the greatest producers. I work with some of the new producers. I mean, that don't make no sense to me. I never understood that either. With Illmatic and then, you know, it was written, I am. I never understood where the lack of, the lack of Nas rap over whack beats. Like, what, Halftime's whack?

Like, New York State of Mind is a whack. Yes, sir. I appreciate that. Certain people will see me, and they don't like that I'm doing good. They don't like that I'm able to have, by the grace of the Most High, to sustain and do what I do. They think that it should be harder for me. Like, it ain't hard enough.

They think that I have it good. A lot of people think so many ways about me. I hear things all the time, and it bothers them. If you're bothered by me, man, like, that's on you. But I wish you the best. Do you think Jay-Z releases projects on your album, release dates on purpose? That's what everybody says every time.

I saw 50 Say That The Woo Kid. I see a little meme going around. No, no. I think maybe there's an energy that we both have where maybe we feel like we work around the same time. They said Still Madden came out December 18th. They said they released Unplugged. Then they said Street Disciple, November 30th. Then Collision Course.

Nas' greatest hits, American Gangster. Nasir, Everything Is Love. The Lost Tapes, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Lion King. That's where it got stupid, with the Lion King soundtrack. The Lion King soundtrack is when it gets kind of stupid. And the rest of you is an entrepreneur. Well, what's Collision Course? That's an album?

The Linkin Park joint, yeah. Oh, oh, word, word. Yo, bro, that's a hell of a, that's some coincidence for you. You know, I mean, I don't know about that. I think things just happen. It's just synergy, man, you know? You know, Jay would know, Jay would know better than me.

Now, this album wasn't on Def Jam, right? This album was on your own Mass Appeal. Are you off Def Jam and you only on Mass Appeal now? Yeah, I'm only on Mass Appeal, man. It's about, it's a couple of years old and I'm so happy to be at a thriving company and that we built from the ground up, the record company. We built that from the ground up, man.

And we got Dave East, man. We got some dope artists that we partnered with. Dave East, shout out to Dave East. Karma 3 is in stores. Well, ain't no stores, but that's a crazy album. Pick that up. Yeah, so Mass Appeal, we just, we're growing every day. And this is a beautiful thing to have this record.

After being on Sony, Def Jam, you know, worked with Interscope, Dr. Dre for the Firm album, working with all these different labels, and now to have my own. That's what we're supposed to be now, though. All right, now let's get into a Nas mini mix it's the breakfast club good morning that was a nas mini mix morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with nas charlamagne have you ever gotten to a point now when you thought your legacy was in jeopardy i'm sure somewhere somewhere i did. But then I didn't spend too much time on just thinking about rap. You know, you got to have life, had a life to live.

So I'm like, so be it. Whichever way it's going to go, I did my best. So I can't drive myself crazy. You know what I'm saying? Let me get to these Pampers and drive this kid to school and live life, you know? Oh, so this was later on? This was, like, after Steelmatic and all that? Yeah, hell yeah.

Oh, wow. Okay, I thought it would have been before. Nah, the first time I thought about that was after my first album. I'm like, yo, now where do I, am I going to continue going and am I going gonna mess up the sophomore jinx if your second album is gonna be garbage they used to say that back then and a lot of people don't make it past their second albums back then so I was concerned more then in the beginning and then later on it was like okay I'm

getting older how am I gonna bow out gracefully I'm gonna leave this thing alone kids are now doing these great things. Let me, but then that thing in you that just, that fan in you that just keeps burning. You know what I mean? You're like, Oh,

I got to do a record. I got to do a record. You know what I mean? So listen, what about, what about your acting job in belly? Did you ever look at that and be like, you know what,

man, they're going to use this against me. Cause you bought, and Blue Benz, you got Louis Rankin on Blue Benz. You know what I'm saying? You included the scene from Belly. Classic movie, by the way. Yo, Louis Rankin, rest in peace, Louis Rankin. Rest in peace, Louis Rankin.

He was a wild, wild dude, man. That dude. How do you feel about your acting job in Belly is the question, Nas? I thought it was good. You didn't like it, Sean Williams? I'm asking Nas. I ain't talking to you. But you didn't like it?

I liked it. But you didn't do much more acting after that, though. But you know what? Hype Williams would get me between scenes. He's like, yo, dog, you got to pick it up, man. You got to pick it up. Yo, dog, man, they not, yo, dog, you got to pick it up, man. Yo, dog, man, they not feeling you, dog. You got to pick it up.

And I'm like, I'm trying. That's the way I smile. That's the way I'm trying. He's like, yo, man, I don't know, man. You know, like, if you don't pick it up. He was on me. He was on me, and I was mad. I was like, he ain't bothering nobody else.

You know what I'm saying? He's just on me. And I was just like, man damn so i was thinking about that while i was doing it but i could i just had to be me i just had to do it my way um very nonchalant moments like when you walk right back you got shot i got shot i never thought this would happen. Like, yo, let's just go to Africa, T. Let's just go. Y'all, I'm smooth, man.

Like Billy Dee, man. I was trying to get my Billy Dee swag going, man. You know, we did a video the other day where it was you, Quavo, Swiss, Travis Scott, and Puff. In Malibu. In Malibu. Is that a video? Y'all working on something?

Y'all hanging? Y'all chilling? When I see y'all brothers together, it seems like that's some big money talk. Oh, no. Puff, like, inviting me over, man. You know, Puff, come celebrate the album. Come down to Malibu. Did he have a mask on?

No. There was no mask on. It was just a great meeting of cool people. I was really happy to be around Travis, Cravo, Puff, Swiss Beats. Just great energy. Busta Rhymes pulled up later. It was just a great time. It felt like it was a tasting. It was a weed tasting. We had a smooth weed tasting. We had menus. So it was a beautiful thing, man. You know, it makes me want to smoke again right now.

And I got nice before I talked to you guys. And, you know, that really got my weekend going, going to see those guys and enjoying conversation. Did Puff try to find you back in the day? Like back early, early, early, early? Yeah, Puff, he tried to, I already had the deal. So he went to management. So I brought him to meet Tommy Mottola for the first time.

We talked about it, but Puff was a scary dude to the industry people at the time, you know. Really? He was a little wild for them. And it was perfect for me. But for them, they didn't want to work with him, so I had to choose a different manager, you know. It was like that.

You know, a lot of people were scared of that man. You know, I was with him when he went to try to shop his deal for Bad Boy with Andre Aroua, rest in peace. He was ahead of his time. That's all it was. Did Swiss try to ask you about doing a versus battle? You know he did. Who did he say you should do it with?

You know who he said. Oh. So, yeah, Swiss. Um that'd be dope. I love verses though. I love it. Who you got Brandy or Monica for the next one? I love them both. That's gonna be it, that's gonna be the biggest battle of the year. Um the biggest verses of the year because it's a celebration of life. Two incredible artists you know they got the boy is mine and i did the life is my products the rest of pieces and habits that's gonna be big i got them both speaking of big because you said the word big weren't you and big supposed to do a record together but something happened like the verses didn't get

recorded i got too high um i was in the, and Big was rolling up some of that chocolate for Brooklyn, and he didn't want me. I was zonked out, yo. There's pictures of that session out there. I think, yeah, we were supposed to do a couple of songs, but I was going to remix some stuff for Ready to Die. You know what records they were? One of them, the idea was Gimme the Loop.

Wow. And you got too high to idea was Gimme the Loop. Wow. And you got too high to get on Gimme the Loop. Why not come back the next day, Nas? Still high. I'm not messing with big and stuff, man. That smoke, we was smokers, man. Still are, still am. And I don't know, things happen.

I lived far out in Long Island at the time. You know what I'm saying? Coming to the city was like a mission. It was hard to get me to move, man. I was just good where I was at. Have you seen what they do in the Queens? I was out in Queensbridge a week ago

in the whole Queensbridge. It looks nothing like mixtape days. It's like gentrified. I'm surprised they're not going to knock it down and try to build condos there because it's right on the water. But like the whole Queensbridge has changed. Have you seen it or no?

Oh, hell yeah. It's a beautiful neighborhood. It's changing. Things are changing, you know. But, you know, more importantly than anything, I would love to see the violence come to an end. I would love to see a serious ceasefire in Queensbridge. All we got is us.

Get a little emotional. Jesus, Jesus. Yeah, get that way sometimes it's sad to see brothers shooting each other especially in the hood that you grew up you ever thought about going back and trying to do that ceasefire there maybe you would have go there because y'all both from the bridge and try that

yes you got the power to make that happen they listen to you yeah yeah yeah for sure we'll see what we can do much love to the whole neighborhood You got the power to make that happen. They listen to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. We'll see what we can do. Much love to the whole neighborhood. Quaze, Miss Raven, what a story.

What's up, everybody? Love. We want to see you more often on this breakfast club, Nas. Nah, man, it's love, love. He didn't say he didn't. I'm coming back. It's the breakfast club. We want to see you, brother. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. Shalom and Yigar. From Misha Green and J.J. Abrams comes HBO's newest series, and I think my new favorite show, even though I've only seen one episode, I loved it Lovecraft Country airing Sundays at 9pm

on HBO and streaming on HBO Max Thank you. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlemagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. You have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you. The Breakfast Club, bitchy. Who's Donkey of the Day today?

Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, August 25th goes to former U.N. ambassador and governor of my home, the great state of South Carolina. Her name is Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley spoke at the Republican National Convention last night and had this to say. America is not a racist country. This is personal for me. I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants. They came to America and settled in a small southern town. My father wore a turban.

My mother wore a sari. I was a brown girl in a black and white world. We faced discrimination and hardship, but my parents never gave in to grievance and hate. What happened now? When you hear things like that, you feel like you're at the Jamaican restaurant ordering a goat oxtail combo and they tell you they have no more goat or oxtail. You're like, excuse me, there's no what? Well, can I get a beef patty? We have no more patties either. There's no what?

There's no goat, no oxtail, no beef patty? Well, what am I here for? Okay, some things are expected. Some things are staples. And what oxtail and goat are to a Jamaican restaurant, racism is to America. And just like I'm disappointed when the Jamaican restaurant tells me they have none of those things, I'm disappointed to hear Nikki Haley try to tell me America don't have no racism.

Okay? America was built on racism. The very foundation of this country is racist. Okay? Stop. I'm not even going to get into that. I'm not even doing it. Why are we even entertaining this conversation?

At least when the Jamaican spot tells us they don't got goat, they really don't have no goat. Nikki Haley is acting like America, you know, doesn't have a white supremacist ideology. There's not racism in policing, discrimination everywhere, and segregation still in everyday American life. We just watched a black man, Jacob Blake, get shot several times in the back in front of his kids in Wisconsin for just attempting to get in his car. So stop it, Nikki Haley, okay? Nikki Haley said out of her own mouth that her and her family experienced discrimination for being Indian. Okay, what do you think that discrimination was, Nikki? Okay, where do you think that discrimination stemmed from?

You said you were a brown girl who grew up in a black and white world. You said your family faced discrimination and a hardship, but you got the nerve to start off that statement saying racism doesn't exist. Nikki Haley, do you remember when you removed the Confederate flag off the statehouse lawn in South Carolina back in 2015 after years and years of black people in Columbia protesting to take that flag down. My whole life, brothers and sisters were protesting to take that flag down in Columbia, South Carolina, salute to the 803. Do you remember one of the reasons you said you took that flag down?

Because I do. You said, and I quote, I even read it this morning on CNN just to make sure. I got this quote directly from CNN. You said the national conversation about being viewed differently because of your ethnicity forced you, Nikki, to reflect on your days growing up as a minority in a small town in South Carolina. You said, one day your father drove to Columbia to buy produce at a fruit stand when two police officers were called to the stand to keep their eyes on your father. Those were your words, Nikki Haley. You said, the officers just called to the stand to keep their eyes on your father. Those were your words, Nikki

Haley. You said the officers just stood at the register until your father made his purchase. You said, Nikki Haley, and I quote, because I'm quoting you, I remember how bad that felt. And my dad went to the register, shook their hands, said thank you, paid for his things, and not a word was said going home. I knew what had just happened, Nikki Haley said. That produce stand is still there, and every time I drive by it, I still feel that pain. I realized that Confederate flag was the same pain that so many people were feeling, end quote.

Nikki Haley, that's racism. That's discrimination. That's bigotry, okay? Now, see, this is the equivalent of being at the jamaican restaurant and them telling you there is no goat or no oxtail and i can literally see the slabs of oxtail and goat in the back all right you handing out plates oxtail and goat to everybody but me but telling me there is none nikki knock it off okay not to mention you contradicted yourself last night quite a few times. Cause you even know why the flag came down because a white supremacist named Dylan Roof shot nine beautiful black souls in AME. You spoke about Emmanuel AME in downtown Charleston. You spoke

about it last night. Listen. It doesn't have to be like this. It wasn't like this in South Carolina five years ago. Our state came face to face with evil. A white supremacist walked into Mother Emanuel Church during Bible study. Twelve African Americans pulled up a chair and prayed with him for an hour. Then he began to shoot. After that horrific tragedy, we didn't turn against each other. We came together, black and white, Democrat and Republican. Together, we made the hard choices needed to heal and removed a divisive symbol peacefully and respectfully. Out of your own mouth, you referred to Dylann Roof as a white supremacist. Now, Nikki Haley, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary. Okay, I graduated

from night school in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, two years past schedule. I was supposed to graduate in 1996, graduated in 1998 from night school. Nikki, you know that South Carolina is ranked 44 out of 50 states when it comes to education. So you know, I'm not the brightest, but I can Google. And just to make sure I was accurate on my definition of white supremacy, I Googled it this morning. And the definition of white supremacy is the racist belief that white people are superior to those of other races. I repeat, the definition of white supremacy is the racist belief

that white people are superior to those of other races. You referred to Dylann Roof as a white supremacist, so you know what white supremacy is. You know it's a racist belief. So why the hell are you saying that racism doesn't exist in America, Nikki?

I don't know what you were trying to say last night. I am not the white whisperer. Maybe she meant to say all Americans aren't racist, which is true, okay? But the system of America, the systems that exist in America are all inherently racist, period, poo. Okay, what I'm trying to tell you, Nikki Haley,

is there is oxtail and goat in that kitchen. And you are lying to me telling me that there is no oxtail and goat in that kitchen. Now, there was a man who spoke at the RNC last night after you, Nikki. His name was Donald Trump Jr. I don't care who's son he is. I don't care what side of the alley he's on because I'm on no side. I don't care if Twitter says he was allegedly coked out of his mind. I don't care if he was talking out of both sides of his mouth. I don't care if he even believed what he said. Because if a broken clock can be right twice a day, so can a person high off cocaine. All right?

Allegedly. Some of my greatest life lessons came to me from the mouth of crackheads right there in South Carolina, Nikki. So I would never dismiss someone's words because they were allegedly high off cocaine. Listen to what Donald Trump Jr. said last night in regards to racism and policing. All men and women are created equal and must be treated equally under the law. That's why we must put an end to racism

and we must ensure that any police officer who abuses their powers is held accountable. What happened to George Floyd is a disgrace. And if you know a police officer, you know they agree with that, too. That right there should be chopped up and running in an ad for Biden for a Biden-Harris commercial today. Play it again, damn it. All men and women are created equal and must be treated equally under the law. That's why we must put an end to racism.

And we must ensure that any police officer who abuses their powers is held accountable. What happened to George Floyd is a disgrace and if you know a police officer, you know they agree with that too. We must put an end to racism and police who abuse their power should be held accountable. God damn it, Donald Trump Jr. didn't even agree with you, Nikki Haley. Okay? How Donald Trump Jr., allegedly high off cocaine, correct on something

and you're not? Give me my damn oxtail and goat, because I see it back there. I know you got it. Please let Remy Ma give Nikki Haley the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Alright, well thank you for that donkey today yes ma'am all right when we come back 800-585-1051 now um charlemagne now let's let the record show

nobody in this room agrees on this topic but me but i think it's a very valid topic because uh a lot of us who grew up in this environment have received wisdom from these individuals. OK, actually, my good friend who I call my brother, that is my brother Wax, he actually went to college because of the advice he got from a crackhead. So what's the best advice you ever got from a cokehead or crackhead? Because y'all allegedly said Donald Trump Jr. was on coke last night. And that was a great word he said about ending racism and police who abuse their power should be held accountable. So just like a broken clock can be right twice a day, so can a cokehead or a crackhead. All right?

All right. So I guess the question is. What's the best advice you ever got from a cokehead or a crackhead? Now, Charlamagne has told you several times that he's even got fellatio from a crackhead. So he's. That has nothing to do with nothing. He converses with crackheads and has these conversations all the time. You just TMZ'd me.

That headline has nothing to do with this story, sir. It kind of does. You might have gotten advice during that time. That is true. When that crack, when he looked up at you and was doing what he was doing, he might have said something nice. It wasn't no he. Okay, whatever.

And by the way, you should never... He might have said you need to lift up the hood and get that shmegma out. I'm circumcised. You should never judge people based off what they did while they were in survival mode. That goes for me and that crackhead. Yeah.

Well, you said he did an amazing job. But anyway, 800-585-1051. What is the best advice, I guess, you got from a crackhead? You ever got from a cokehead or crackhead? You show these cokeheads and crackheads some respect. Okay? Alright, well, call us up now. With wisdom. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you got ass.

You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you got ass. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes They want this man to throw them blows man They wait for Charlemagne to tap them gloves

Let's go They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day They chose you The breakfast club bitches Who's donkey of the day today Donkey of the day for Tuesday August 25th Goes the former UN ambassador And governor of my home the great state of South Carolina.

When that crack, when he looked up at you and was doing what he was doing, he might have said something nice. It wasn't no he. OK, whatever. And by the way, you should never. He might have said you need to lift up the hood and get that shmegma out

i'm circumcised you should never judge people based off what they did while they were in survival mode that goes for me and that crackhead yeah well you said he did an amazing job but anyway 855-1051 what is the best advice i guess you advice, I guess, you got from a crackhead? You ever got from a cokehead or crackhead? You show these cokeheads and crackheads some respect, okay? All right, well, call us up now. They're still humans with wisdom. Call us up now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, Charlemagne came up with this topic, 800-585-1051. You know, he has, I don't, I call him crackheads, but I guess that's what we call him, right? Let's give him the context. Last night at the RNC, Donald Trump Jr. spoke,

and Twitter said he was allegedly high off cocaine. I don't know if he was or not, but I know he said one thing I agree with, and that's we must put an end to racism and police who abuse their power should be held accountable if democrats aren't running that as a commercial today for biden harris something is wrong but it just proves my point that you can get good words from a crackhead or a cokehead i've gotten so much good advice from uh crackheads throughout my life but i think the best advice i've gotten from a crackhead is life is best lived simple easy for somebody with a crack addiction to say uh but great advice nonetheless okay let me let me just ask you a question what um what put you into

a vicinity with a i hate saying crackhead with a individual like were you pitching were you selling oh are you selling crack duh i used to say i used to sell crack i've been arrested for in the distribution of cocaine crack cocaine but yes i used to sell crack i've been arrested for in the distribution of cocaine crack cocaine but yes i used to sell crack so you were a caring drug dealer so when you sold a crack you had conversations hey how you doing no time i grew up in monks corner south carolina i grew up in a rural area on a dirt road okay house around crackheads a a large part of my life and they're humans just like anybody else like you know i'm just curious if you had conversations when you saw crack i mean i'm from queen so there

was crackheads everywhere but i didn't necessarily have a conversation first of all you're cheap as cheap as your ass is you ain't never had a crackhead do nothing for you fix a car change a tire cut some grass change the oil come on carry some boxes yeah yeah carry some things in and out the house yeah yeah i guess you're right like you never had a conversation with it but i didn't have to sit down and said hey give me some advice hey can you uh give me some fellatio that wasn't my conversation with with crackhead why would you just be asking a crackhead for fellatio you are kidding kidding. You watch me. So you watch minister society one too many times. And then it's those roles.

There's those stereotypical roles that make you feel like that's what all crackheads are out here doing. Let me ask you a question, right? Did a crackhead yes or no. Give you fellatio. You're veering off course. Yes.

The question at one point in my life, I don't judge people for what they did in survival mode. Don't judge me for giving a crackhead a 20 a rock for some fellatio

and don't judge that crackhead for what they did, okay? And I'm sure it's somebody upset that we're using the term crackhead. That has to be an offensive term in 2020. But I don't know what to say. But anyway, let's talk to the phone line.

Hello, who's this? Hold on. What's the best advice you ever got from a crackhead? Can we use drug abuser? Nah. The best advice I got from a crackhead was to join the military. At the point in time that he actually gave me that advice, I was actually out of the street selling things. Didn't have much of a future, but because of him, I've actually seen 26 countries around the world, and I'm retired now and loving life. You sound like my brother Wax. My brother Wax is in the street doing the same thing.

And see, what people don't understand is people who have already made the wrong choices in life can tell you where they went wrong. So Crackhead actually told Wax he needs to go to college and stop wasting his time in the street too exactly crackhead crackhead's got some knowledge they got some knowledge not much but they got it i hate using that term crack it that's a better turn bro thank you man well somebody will tell us the politically correct term i'm sure hello who's this oh japan what up what up peace queen what's the best advice you ever got from a crackhead Well it's a coke head My mom she's been doing it all our lives But one day we came home from the hotel

We wanted her to cook And she said I know y'all didn't come home F***ing hurting and hungry That's advice I've heard that saying before I've never understood what the first part means What does the pee hurting part mean? Well, you've been having sex.

So a man has sex with you. Oh, there you go. You come home hungry. Letting a man beat up on it and he ain't even feed you. You ain't get nothing out the deal. I love you, Charlamagne. I love you more. Drop one of the clues bombs for your mama.

Your mama, has she gotten clean yet? Or is she still? Well, you know, she's doing really good. She's working's working ultimately just because you do drugs don't mean you can't do both you can get yourself together and do what you do that's the problem sometimes with a lot of people they think they just because they do drugs they're scarce from their family but no we love you too you do you do what you do but you take care of home that's right you could be a functioning co-care we saw the rnc last night a lot of functioning coke heads up on that stage all right well thank you mama 800-585-1051 i guess that the question is um what advice is the best advice no not what it was the best advice

you've ever gotten from a crackhead or a coke head ye have you got any advice um i can't say that i have yo i was trying to be really hard about it, but no, I don't believe I have. And you was raised in the music industry for 20 plus years and you never got no good advice from a cokehead, Yee? Cut it out. No, I don't think I have. And if somebody was addicted to cocaine, maybe I didn't know. Maybe they were just functioning. All right, well, hit us up.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ En Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, Charlamagne had an interesting topic this morning. Well, it was based off the Republican National Convention last night because Donald Trump Jr. spoke. And, you know, people say it was saying that he was allegedly high off cocaine.

I mean, some people thought that Nikki Haley was allegedly high off cocaine based off her comments because she said america is is not a racist country but uh donald trump jr said we must put an end to racism and police who abuse their power should be held accountable that to me proved my point that you can get good words from somebody who's allegedly high off cocaine or a crackhead. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Yeah, what's good? It's your boy, Raji.

Raji, what's happening, King? What's the craziest, I should say the best advice you got from... What's the best advice? Not crazy. Crackhead? A cokehead or crackhead? What's the best advice?

Oh, man, my cousin, he'd be on that he'd be on that strong but uh anyway we're playing poker and uh before we even play he said i know you play a little bit but because i'm gonna tell you some some real deal watch everybody on the table if they start making weird faces start winking at y'all and looking all weird man they don't got no good hand but if somebody's looking straight at you or looking straight at that other hand or looking at somebody else, watch them. They're the ones you got to worry about.

Well, everybody else don't worry about them. That's true. That's why they help me every time. That's why they tell you keep a poker face. How's your cousin now? Is he clean? Are he still getting high? Nah, man.

He want $10 every time I pull up Alright, my brother, thank you for calling, man Hello? Yes, hello? Peace, what's your name? Tatiana Peace, Queen, Tatiana, how are you? Now, what's the best advice you ever got from a cold-headed crackhead?

Oh my God, is this Charlotte, man? Yes, ma'am Nope Good morning, how are you? I am blessed, black, ma'am no good morning how are you i am blessed black and highly favored good morning how are you good morning i'm well thank you but the best advice i've ever got from a crackhead would be never lend what you cannot purchase oh i like that you got a little suzy arman crackhead around you, huh? I'm not talking like that. Okay.

Never lend what you cannot purchase. You mean for the other person? Never lend to a person what they can't purchase, you mean? No, meaning say do not lend a pair of shoes that you cannot be able to go out and purchase again. Oh, got you. Because you're not getting it back. You're really just giving it away. Got you, Tatiana. Exactly. Thank you very much. Thank you for calling, Mama. Oh, got you. Because you're not getting it back. You're really just giving it away. Got you, Tatiana.

Exactly. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Thank you for calling, Mama. Hello, who's this? John John from Harlem. How y'all doing? John John from Harlem, man.

What's the best advice you got from an addict, a crackhead? Well, there's actually two things. One, I got the bag re-upped real quick to get all this money. Secondly, you told me, man, get out of these streets, man. You know you can't stay here forever, man. You got to switch up your lane.

Everybody in this game here, I work at the corner of the Fed, so you need to pitch your game up, some other things. And that's what I'm doing now. I'm just doing music, and I'm an author of children's books and activists in the community. So, yeah, I used pray on my community now. My community, brother. Thank you.

That's beautiful, King. And you know what? That is like, that's the moral of the story. The moral of the story to me is like people who have done the wrong thing can always tell you the right thing to do. And sometimes they may not even tell you. You can just observe them and know what the right thing is to do. Because you can learn from other people's poor choices. That's what they say.

Smart people learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from the mistakes of others. I don't know where the hell Envy went, Angela Yee. So he ran out the room. Oh, he just got up and walked out. Oh, maybe he's getting his coronavirus test. All of this talk about crack is getting him excited. No, I had to actually let my nurse in because she's about to-

Stick something up your nose. Cocaine. You couldn't say excuse us? Excuse me? She was in the middle of talking. The call was in the middle of talking. And I wanted to make sure I let her in before the dog seen her. You make sure you bring her in here so I can see her stick something in you.

That's all you worried about. You just want to see somebody stick something in me. That's all you want. That's all you want. You're nasty. We got rumors on the way? Yes, and we'll talk about the real. They have announced their new co-host all right right into that next keep it locked it's the Breakfast Club good morning

yes so the real has named Garcelle Hubei as a new co-host and I think that's is closed. culture. I love the news. I love talking about it. I love sharing my opinion. And to be sitting at the table with these amazing women, Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon, Jeannie Mai, will be an honor and a blast. Salute to her. That's a great position. I wonder how long did it take them? Because when did Amanda leave? Has it been that long? Tamara also just left as well.

Oh, yeah. They left when? March, right? They left what? March, April? March, right? Yeah. During the March, April? March, right? Yeah. During the pandemic. I just wonder what made them come to this conclusion. Because it's not like I haven't seen her filling in. Or has she been?

I don't know. I know. I haven't seen her. Well, she also is going to be in the upcoming Coming to America sequel as well. And she was on Spider-Man Homecoming and the CBS All Access series Tell Me a Story. We know her from the Jamie Foxx show, NYPD Blue. And she has a great personality on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, so it seems like it'll be good.

She's forever fancy. Salute to her. Now, the new season does start on September 21st. That's going to be the seventh season, so congratulations to them. All right, Gabrielle Union. She was talking about, again, her exit from America's Got Talent. Now she was on a panel for the 2020 American Black Film Festival called Minding Her Business. And she was talking about the difficult business dealing was being let go from America's

Got Talent. She said that probably it was also surprising and so heartbreaking and so frustrating and so unnecessary. That would be probably the hardest part of my time in the industry. She also said that she felt like she got a public flogging. She said, just standing in my truth and standing on the side of employee rights and knowing there's a better way of doing business. But that whole process was really brutal. And knowing that I brought my team into that, it just sucked. Yeah, that was a difficult time for her, I'm sure. Alright, now, Rho Timmy

was on Fox Soul, he was on Kingswood Cosign, and he was talking about a foursome that he had. Listen to this. Tower season three, four, around that time, I had a foursome. It was me and three women. Literally, I was talking to somebody

kind of serious then her best friend was there and their lesbian friend that ended up joining a foursome well rumble young man was with her best friend and a lesbian mutual friend of them four one two three yeah i guess it's a four you know because it's really you're you're really only having sex with three other people. You're the fourth person. So technically, it should be called a threesome. No, a menage a trois is a threesome. That don't make any sense either.

That should be a twosome. No, there's three people involved. There's three people involved. There's three of you. Yeah, but it's not like you screwing yourself. I would think that a foursome is... I would think four people is sleeping with you. I don't know.

I guess. Well, whatever. He had fun. That's what it sounds like. All right. All right. Boosie is taking his mother's advice and learning when to just, you know, zip it. He was on Instagram Live, and he was asked his opinion on Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion

and that incident, and here's what he said. I don't want to get in there because I don't want to say the wrong thing. Because I want to f*** with Toryi and I f*** with Meg. I need me a Meg versus nothing. I'm not going to say s***. I don't want to talk about it because I'm going to be in the wedge. Y'all are going to take this and they're going to flip it on me. And they're going to make it look like I took a side.

So like my mama say, I need to shut up on this. Well, I mean, that's Boosie's prerogative uh more people need to tell themselves that in regards to whatever the hot topic is at the moment but social media makes you feel like you have to comment on any and every damn thing but if boosie doesn't want to talk about it he doesn't have to talk about it he said he got relationships with both of them so i understand but i doubt that me Thee Stallion feature is coming anytime soon, Boosie. I highly doubt it. I highly doubt you're going to get it in a timely fashion if you get it at all.

She's still working. But she may not want to give it to him because he didn't take a side. You know what I mean? At a time like this. Maybe. Maybe, especially when you see all these other brothers come into her defense and Boosie decides he don't want to take a side. Maybe she feels like, hey, does Boosie think I'm lying? Is Boosie one of the people that are thinking I'm making this up?

So she may not send that feature. I don't know. He also might not know all the details to even be able to comment. None of us do! No, but maybe he's not following everything that's been coming out. You know how you get bits and pieces, but you don't know everything that's come out, so you're like, look, I ain't gonna comment because I'm not sure. I don't want to say the wrong thing.

I feel that. I agree with you, but Boosie comments on any and everything else. So you're like, look, I ain't gonna comment because I'm not sure. I don't want to say the wrong thing. I feel that. I agree with you. But Boosie comments on any and everything else. You know what I'm saying? So I know. Sometimes you don't be knowing the whole story. Exactly. And I know people probably got on his ass for not commenting on this.

And that's probably why the shade room even did that interview with him to see if he would have something to say. But I agree. Yeah, he might have learned his lesson, though, because sometimes people just aren't following a story that closely, and then they might say something and have all their facts off. He knows about this.

I mean, if Megan Thee Stallion gets on Instagram and says, yo, Tory shot me, you should have an opinion on that if you have an opinion on everything else. That's all. And listen, I agree. Boosie can keep it to himself, but I can see how also social media will be like oh now you ain't got nothing to say well i do appreciate everybody that is coming to megan nastalian's defense in this whole incident

because i know it's not easy for her so again i'm gonna keep on saying it man we are with you megan nastalian all right an nfl commissioner roger goodell here's part two of his interview on uncomfortable conversations with the black man with Emmanuel Acho. Here's what he had to say about supporting players kneeling after that whole Black Lives Matter NFL video came out. He responded. Will you support players if they were to peacefully protest during the national anthem this season? Yes. We have never disciplined a single player for anything at the national anthem and in violation. And I don't intend to

you talk about that video a couple of months ago i didn't speak to an owner about that yeah why did you do that why do you you didn't have to you didn't because it's because what i believe in number one and two is what i believe the national football league stands for you know the players obviously uh made the video the night before i looked at that and i said i want to respond to that i don't even care. Don't care. Don't care what Rodney Goodell has to say about any of this anymore. Too little, too late.

Just don't care. I don't give a damn. I just keep funding, keep cutting them checks for the Inspire change and keep letting Roc Nation delegate the money where they need to. Other than that, you can shut the F up forever. Don't care what Rod Roger Goodell got to say Alright, well I'm Angela Yee And that is your rumor report
