I think you actually said to look like that she needs flat tummy tea. No, I said she needs to drink a lot of green juice, a lot of water, can't have no stress. Listen, you're supposed to be cute at 27. But did she tell you, she was like, you see my Instagram. Yeah, you see my Instagram. I see that Instagram and I don't see no Nia Long, Saniya Lathan energy on that Instagram. Okay? Don't hide now, Taylor.

I want you to have that same energy that you had before the show started, talking about you was on the same level of Nia Long and Sanaa Lathan. Leave young Taylor alone. Let her be confident in who she is. And those are 40-something-year-old women, by the way. Drop one of Clues bombs for Nia Long and Sanaa Lathan, damn it.

She said, you seen my Instagram? You seen my Instagram? You know, I said, whoa. What? I said, whoa. What? I said, whoa. I'm glad International Women's Day made you feel good about yourself. It sure did, boy. Well, yesterday was a day without a woman.

Mm-hmm. How were things up here? Oh, great. Everything was cool. Amazing, actually. Yeah, I got a lot of really positive tweets. Yeah, like, rumors went fantastic. I heard.

Almost. You did a great job. As a C&E was great, almost. Yeah, like, rumors went fantastic. I heard. I heard you did a great job. As a C&E was great, almost. You know, it was all right. Now, how was the juice bar? You were at the juice bar all day. Yes, I was. We did a very special giveaway, but we started running out of things.

First of all, just saying we're going to give free juices to women that come in the juice bars and be promised to do. We learned a valuable lesson. There has to be a certain time period of that. Because from 7 a.m.

Oh, y'all said all day. Y'all didn't give them a window. Nope. There was no window. When I say that, it was like the club. I walked in there. It was beautiful. It was so many people that came through and from different places. People drove from Jersey. Ask people that work there how they felt about it. Yeah, I know. People drove from the Bronx.

They came from all over to come through and they showed a lot of love. The ages were everywhere from 80 years old to teens and little kids. It was dope. A lot of moms brought their kids and a lot of people came in and still supported anyway. They said, okay. Men came in there because they still had to

pay. So they brought theirs. But it was a great, beautiful thing. It was a great thing. And shout out to our interns that actually helped us out because we needed the help yesterday. I mean, I didn't think it was going to be like that, but it was like that. Envy, people like free things. I didn't know. That is a fact.

I didn't know. Free? Let's go. Yeah. But the Women's March organizers also had a, they had a rally outside of the Trump Hotel, but we'll get all into that. All right. And also today is the 20th anniversary of Notorious B.I.G.'s death. Lord have mercy.

20 years. You know what that means? 20 years. You know what that means? We old. We old as hell. We old, but that's all right. It's okay.

I'd rather be here. God bless them. So it is a throwback Thursday. So we have Faith Evans joining us after Biggie's ex-wife. Oh, I love Faith Evans. I saw her last night too. And also DJ Premier. One of Big's favorite producers.

One of Big's favorite producers. Produces some classic big records. Yeah. I mean, he produced for everybody. So we'll kick it with both of them today. So it's going to be a fun show. And of course, we're going to do the Biggie mix. So get your request and let me know your favorite Biggie joint.

Whatever it is. And I will get some of your Biggie joints on. get your request and let me know your favorite Biggie joint, whatever it is. And I will get some of your Biggie joints on. All right, so let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? We are going to talk about the Women's March organizers, like I said previously. Also, we'll talk about house flipping and what's going on with that. All right.

All that and more. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's Tory Lanez. 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 in sports, I know the Jets lost Brandon Marshall. Went right over to the Giants. I think that's a good plug for the Giants. I think that's really good. That's all? That's all so far. Okay.

Now also, I thought Adrian Peterson was going to come this way, but it looks like he's going to go to Patriots. That's what it looks like he's leaning towards. No, I heard Seattle or the Raiders. Seattle or the Raiders. Really? Oh, and Tony Romo, they're saying, your ex-quarterback Tony Romo will be released today.

Okay. I don't know where he's going to go. You're fine with that? I heard he might go to Denver. I'm absolutely, positively fine with that. By the way, let's refer back to a tweet I tweeted out August something of 2016 where I said when Romo got hurt, I'm glad because Dak

is special. I'm not mad. I'm mad that Tony Romo getting shipped out and Dak going to be the starting quarterback with no distractions. Let's go, baby. New future of my Cowboys. Let's see what happens this year. Now let's talk about a recap of yesterday. What went down yesterday with A Day Without a Woman? Well down yesterday with A Day Without a Woman?

Well, yesterday for A Day Without a Woman, there was some peaceful protests. They were loud but very orderly for A Day Without a Woman that were outside of the Trump Hotel where Donald Trump lives. They said they were disrupting traffic, according to police officers. So at least four of the organizers were arrested. That's Tamika Mallory, Linda Sassour, Carmen Perez, and Bob Bland. They were released, though, and they have to go to court. In San Francisco, hundreds of women were dressed in red, swarming City Hall. There were thousands of people protesting here in New York City as well. So this is all about the fight over access to reproductive health care, equal pay,

violence against women, education for their daughters, and the deportation of women immigrants. Yeah, cops were bugging a little bit yesterday. I got a ticket yesterday for failing to yield to a pedestrian. I'm like, what? I never had that in my life. No points taken, no fine, no nothing. When you left here? Huh?

When you left here? Yeah. So does that mean you almost ran somebody over? No, that's what I'm trying to tell you. I was making a regular left turn. The light was green. Nobody was in the walkway. And he said that it was somebody in the walkway and I didn't stop him.

I'm like, what? You know what? That happened to me before right outside here. I was turning. Oh, it was probably the same guy. What was it? You had to figure it out? So I said to the cop.

It's in the car. That's the last one that put me over there. I actually had to go to court to fight that. But I was like, where is there a pedestrian? That's what I'm like, huh? They did that to me. Yeah, that's probably the same cop. That's some BS. That's the cop that put me over to sit in proper seatbelt.

I didn't have my seatbelt on properly. I was in the middle of the city, though. I was in midtown. Yeah, I was in midtown. Oh, so it's definitely not the same cop. And you know what? Yesterday when we left here, we were all kind of little tipsy-tipsy. I wasn't really drinking. Yes, you were. I never really drank. Well, I wasn't here. I don't know what went on. I watched you.

You put water in there? My brother, I can fix Nif cocaine. All right? Trust me. All right, man? That's foul. You know what's foul about that? You know what's foul about it? You was like, no, watch Charlemagne because he don't be really drinking.

Yeah, because you don't really be really drinking. And that's what wasn't really drinking. Even with you trying to call me out. You guys were just up here drinking yesterday? Yes, and he pours me drinks, right? And you can see what I'm drinking, but him, he pours himself water. And you know what? You little...

Don't worry about what I do. You little what? Nothing. What else are we talking about? We're talking about house flipping. And it has hit a 10-year high in 2016. So last year, a lot of people were buying houses and flipping them. And they say a lot of them were single-family houses and condos that people actually purchased and flipped.

So just so y'all know. All right. Yesterday was an odd day, though. And, you know, Trumpcare, by the way, has passed the first hurdle. I don't know if you guys are paying attention to that this morning. They had an 18-hour session overnight. And it's been approved as far as that. Yeah, it's approved because it's the same damn plan.

I told y'all what they was going to do. They was going to repeal Obamacare, replace it with Obamacare, just give it another name and a couple more bells and whistles. That's all. I told y'all that already. Last front page news. Tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, you can call us right now. Maybe you had a bad night, a bad

morning. Also, maybe you feel blessed. If you feel blessed, you can give us a call as well. Maybe it's your birthday. Maybe you just had a baby. Maybe some things that are going on in your life are positive. Tell them why you're blessed. You can call us up right now. We'll put you both on the air. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Hey, yo, hey, yo, hey, yo. Good morning. This is Matt Rapp. I'm gonna tell you why, man. I'm gonna tell you why I'm back. I'm mad because I hung out in the club last night and there was too many good girls in there. Yo, for real, we don't need none of y'all good girls in the club. We need loose girls. We need drunk girls. We need sloppy girls. We need girls that's just gonna call away. We don't need none of y'all nice girls in there. Go home. Go away.

Talk about it and tell me why you mad. Breakfast club for real. This is Quay from Indiana. Hey, Quay. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? I'm good. Tell them why you mad. So, yesterday, well, more like last night, I ended up having, well, no, I feel like before that, I ended up having to end a four-year relationship with this guy that I've been with for a while.

You know, he's been not acting right for actually probably like the last year and a half. But because of the fact that we have a baby together, you know, I've been trying to make it work. And, you know, I sacrificed a lot. You should have said baby daddy from the start, boo. You know, I should have picked better, to be lot. You should have said baby daddy from the start, boo. You know, I should have picked better, to be honest. I should have listened to my damn mama. She warned me about all of this. You know, she won't even speak to me now. But what happened?

You know, all of this the other night happened over some freaking food. You know, and it was hilarious to me. What kind of food, though? What kind of food, now? Some crap food. But it was hilarious to me because I'm a culinary major. I'm like, dang, I'm actually in an argument about some food. But I'm losing. That can't be

all it was over. Come on. You know, it literally was. It literally was. This sounds silly. It is silly. I have a baby by an African man. He is 30 years older than me. I know. 30 years older? 30 years older than me. How old are you?

I am 29. Wow. I will be 29 this year. Is he rich? No. Does he have his own money? Yes, he has enough money, but it was never really about the money. It was cool from the beginning, but everything changed after I got pregnant with our son.

And it seemed like it just went downhill from there. And it's like, damn, I done gave four years to this relationship just for our baby's birthday. It's literally on the 11th. And you couldn't even keep it together that long. By the way, you got a lot more years until that little boy is 18. You know, and at first I was just trying

to stick it out. I'm like, you know, I mean, sorry, just stick it out. We'll make it work for the baby because I didn't want my son doing me like I did my mom. You know what I mean? I wasn't really a good daughter to my mother. All about the fact of my father. You know what I mean?

And I haven't said that. Well, you have a daddy now. He's 30 years older than you. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Chanel. Hey, Chanel, tell them why you mad. I'm mad because I still haven't got my tax refund yet. Ha ha.

You ain't get a chance to ball out that rainbow? I don't know. Are you a Charlotte Roos kind of girl? No, I'm not. Tell them you're going to Macy's. Well, how did you... Did you do like an expedited tax refund? No, what happened was I gave my tax preparer one of the counter checks

that they give you as soon as you open your account, and they were like, that's not my real account number. And I'm like, well, why do y'all give me the counter check with that number on it? That's not my real account number. Well, everything happens for a reason. God just wants you to pump the brakes and think about what you're going to do with that money before you get it. Because if you'd have got it already, you'd have blew it.

That's a good way to look at it. If you'd have got it already, you'd have blew it at all stuff. Well, or maybe Subo. I see how I get it. Because if you'd have got it already, you'd have blown it. That's a good way to look at it. If you'd have got it already, you'd have blew it at All Star. Well, or maybe Subo. I see I double A. I would. Maybe see I double A, maybe. See what I'm saying? Thank you, mama.

She picked the most basic event out of all of them. The only one that Charlamagne goes to at that age. Yeah, because I'm a basic-ass Negro. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Tell them why you mad, bro. I don't piss on my car when I'm in the hallway.

I ain't took Miami to the revolt. I'm ready to come from mad. And I don't see no result out of it, man. I ain't see nobody get signed or nothing. I don't come out and spend good money with Puffer, man. It feel like it was a good rip-off, though. You know what I'm saying? Hey, man, it don't feel good just to ripoff, though. You know what I'm saying?

Hey, man, it don't feel good just to be in the same place as those people. Yeah. You got to pay the brief to air that Puffin walk-in. Well, Bryson Tiller did get signed from there, so that was one. That's true. I mean, he had connection, though. You know, he probably had a little connection. No, he had no connection. He went down.

Well, his manager didn't know him. Somebody heard him and picked him up. I don't believe that. That's what happened. I need to see that. Yeah, I'll believe that. I ain't never heard that in Brighton Taylor's bio. I'll turn it back.

That dude sound like an alternative fact. No, he did have some connections because doesn't his manager, didn't he work for Puff or something? He used to be my intern in Puff's agency. I ain't never heard Brighton Taylor say he got signed because of the revolt. No, he actually found him, seen him, and signed him, and nobody wanted to play his record. I didn't want to play his record. He had some connections with Puff. Hey, you keep that, you keep putting that pressure on Revolt, okay? Because they keep

throwing this conference. There's got to be some results soon. Y'all got to have some success stories from this Revolt Music Conference, damn it. Tell them why you mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Man, it's true.

X has changed, yeah. Listen up. Okay. Are you blessed and highly favored? I feel blessed. Tell the congregation at 800-585-1051. It's a celebration. It's The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Kojo. Kojo. Tell them why you blessed, bro. Yo, I'm blessed because Amazon just picked up my first independent short film ever named Perceive or Caution. Congrats, man. That's what I like to hear.

Yup. And it's the first short film that Charlamagne Tha God actually did a drop to after his little incident. So I'm feeling extra blessed about that. Okay. All right, well, congratulations. Did Charlamagne sign the clearance fee? The clearance waiver?

For doing a drop? Yeah, we bum rushed him at his little show on MTV. And he did a drop for us. Puff did a drop for us. We got Cali doing a drop for us. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't say you bum rushed me. I did a drop for y'all out of the goodness of my heart. Y'all asked me to do a drop for us. We got our calendar doing a drop for us. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't say you bum-rushed me. I did a drop for y'all out of the goodness of my heart.

Y'all asked me to do a drop. I heard you trying to say the little show. You was a little bit nervous, though. You was looking a little bit nervous. Why the hell am I going to look nervous at MTV when I got about 15 security guards that'll whip your ass if you even breathe wrong on me? Wait, now this man did you a favor,

and you up here trying to talk crazy? I don't know why nobody can do that for y'all. This is a bum-rusted little show. What's wrong with him, man? Hello, who's this? Good morning, it's Scotty Moore. Scotty Moore, tell him why you're blessed today, bro. Yo, I'm blessed today because I woke up with a good attitude.

I got my mom. She's doing my life and she's doing very well. And also, I got a good friend who put me on YouTube, and you gotta check me out. I'm Scott Seymour. I'll be rapping up there. No, thank you. Well, good luck to you, bro. I'm glad you're blessed. Hello, who's this? I'm blessed,

because I'm at Target. Gotta be working at 345 AM, pushing boxes and Mossimo t-shirts all day. Mossimo t-shirts, baby. Don't you ever disrespect them by saying Mossimo. And it's Tarjay over here, sir. It's Tarjay. My bad, my bad, sir.

I give my 10%. I love Mossimo t-shirts. My 10%. My income tax coming tomorrow. There you go. Oh, wow. How much you getting back? Seven stacks, me.

Seven stacks. Woo! Ballin'! That is crazy. What you gonna do with that money? I'm going to juice this for life. Hey, I be there. Okay.

You get a juice. You get a juice. And you get a juice. All right, bro. All of a sudden, their juice price is gonna spike tomorrow. One juice, $7,000. All right.

Well, that was Tell Him Why You're Blessed. You feel blessed. You wanted to spread some positivity. You can always call us. Now, Eve, we got rumors on the way? Man, after six seasons, we'll tell you what show you're blessed. You feel blessed. You wanted to spread some positivity. You can always call us. Now, you even got rumors on the way? Man, after six seasons, we'll tell you what show you love is coming to an end. Also, we'll talk about weight loss. We'll tell you what celebrity just recently underwent weight loss surgery.

All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Well, T.I. and Tiny, the family hustle is going to be over after this next sixth season. That show has been on since 2011. So they're going to end that run.

They're saying this is the final season, according to VH1 and MTV. They said VH1 is incredibly proud of this long-running series and our partnership with Tip and Tamika. For six years, they've opened their home and shared countless family moments with us. Yeah, they're about to do 100 episodes. They're good. Six seasons, that's great. Six years.

It ends in April with this 100th episode. And all the blogs are saying that TI has a new woman, Bernice Burgos, who is, she dated Drake previously, but we all know Bernice. Damn! What? What's wrong with y'all? You guys mad? Yes, damn it.

Why you mad? Drop on a clues bar for TI, damn it, because Bernice is amazing. That's why. All right? So why you mad then? I don't know. I'm just hating. You should be happy.

Why? For both of them. Like, I'm happy for you. She's amazing. No, I'm hating. This guy should be happy. Why? For both of them. Like, I'm happy for you. She's amazing. No, I'm hating. This guy. What you mean? All right, Bad Boys for Life.

That was the part three for the Bad Boys series. It's not happening yet. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have reunited. They're doing a movie. But unfortunately now, the director has dropped out. Joe Carnahan, he signed up to do that and he actually wrote the script as well. So I don't know if they're going to keep that script, if they're going to scrap it, get a whole new script, what's going to happen. But they've been trying to do this movie for 14 years.

Why do you walk away from that blockbuster film? I'd love to know for them. Yeah, that's strange. What made him want to walk away from that? Well, the news is that it was, quote unquote, scheduling conflicts, but according to some insiders, they're saying it's just been some creative differences. Yeah, I'm sure it's difficult to work on

that film, because you got two legendary superstars like Will Smith and Martin, plus it's a legendary franchise. The film company probably wants a certain thing, but it has to be done right. So the movie kept getting delayed, and not to mention that Will Smith quit Disney and Tim Burton's live-action Dumbo movie just to

focus on the sequel. So he quit that to work on the Bad Boys sequel, and they even had a part four on board. Why is Will Smith doing a live-action Dumbo movie? I don't know. Why do we need a live-action Dumbo movie? Like, why? Maybe it's for the kids.

I don't know. It's not for you. Elephants ain't cool like that no more, bro. How do you know? Back in the day, elephants used to be cool. Before social media. Well, they even had a Bad Boy Part 4 on the schedule, but now they've dropped that off the schedule entirely, and they're just trying to figure out how can they save this movie.

So we'll see who steps in next. And you guys know that Michael Bay, who did Transformers, is doing the final Transformers sequel, was the one that directed the first two. I'm about to Google live-action Dumbo movies. I need to see what the hell this is about. All right, Gabourey Sidibe talks about losing weight. Great segue.

And she has her memoir. She has her first-ever memoir, This Is Just My Face, Try Not To Stare. This guy is a jerk, yo. Now, she said, this is what she said about her decision, because she actually got that weight loss surgery. She said that she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

She said, I truly didn't want to worry about all the effects that go along with diabetes. I genuinely worry all the time about losing my toes. Now, she has tried for more than a decade to lose weight naturally, and she finally decided last year in May that she had to go under the knife. She did that without telling anybody to lose weight.

She said, my surgeon said they cut my stomach in half. This would limit my hunger and capacity to eat. My brain chemistry would change. I want to eat healthier. I'll take it.

My lifelong relationship with food had to change. So she's been working out with a trainer. She's been swimming. She's been... Now this is weird. I don't want to say. She's been what?

Riding a tricycle around the Empire set. Tricycle? That must be the most steel reinforced tricycle you've ever seen in the world. Alright, but she's been having issues with food since she was six years old. She said she battled depression. She battled anxiety. She battled bulimia.

All of those things. She finally overcame that through therapy. And now she has a goal. She's trying to get to her goal. I'm glad she decided to change her life by changing her lifestyle. Because once again, even though people think I'm always being hard on fat people, this is exactly what the consequences to being fat are. The two main causes of type 2 diabetes is genetics and lifestyle. You're not eating right.

You're not working out. You're fat. You are at greater risk for type 2 diabetes. Stop listening to people trying to sugarcoat the reality of the situation. You want to live or you want to die. The choice is yours. Right. Well, like she said, hopefully things will get better for her.

And she talks about all of this in her memoir that is out. But she did say she was battling depression, anxiety, and bulimia. So thank goodness she had to deal. She got through all of that with therapy. Okay. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, today is the 20th anniversary of Big's death.

We're going to do a Biggie mix a little bit later, and coming up next, Faith Evans will be joining us. That was Big Sean with Bounce Back. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest today. Faith Hill is here, ladies and gentlemen.

Faith, how have you been? Good morning. Good morning. The only faith we know. The only faith we acknowledge is faith in God and faith in us. There you go. Well, good morning. Welcome.

Thank you. Thanks for having me. You saw CNN get it so wrong. They said Biggie and Faith Hill had a duet album. They sure did. I was looking for that album. But funny thing, it so wrong. They said Biggie and Faith Hill had a duet album. They sure did. I was looking for that album. But funny thing, people, when I used to live in Georgia, people used to come to my house to fix things,

and they were like, Miss Hill, Miss Hill. Really? Did y'all have the same address or something? She doesn't even live in Georgia. Yeah. Maybe because I'm so fair-skinned. I don't know. I don't know.

Makes no sense. But it did bring a few more eyes to the project, so I ain't mad. Now, it's been 20 years from the past and the big. Now, I know you possibly can't still let it go, but how does it feel? We still don't know necessarily what happened. Nobody has been convicted. Nobody, you know, we don't know what's going on still after 20 years. Very true.

Ms. Wallace and I sort of feel like we know what happened. It's just a matter of LAPD saying that they know what happened, which they probably will never do. So do you get closure? Can time truly heal all wounds if it's really not closure? The criminal case itself, I don't think that so much is something to heal from. I mean, he's not here, so that's never going to change. The criminal case is something separate. I wouldn't say we have closure.

We just decided not to continue paying money to make them admit that they know what happened, basically. So, no, I mean, there's no closure in that sense. But, you know, we just have to move on and live with the great memories of Big that we have. I mean, that's really all we've been able to do. 20th anniversary of Big's death. Besides it being a reminder that we're all old as hell, you know, what does it mean to you 20 years later?

To be honest, it doesn't mean anything different 20 years later than it did you know, five years ago, seven years ago. I mean, I have this project coming out, which I think, ironically, because I didn't plan on it coming out this year. I thought it would be out last year, but I think you know, maybe the fact that everything happens for a reason

in the time and that God says it shouldn't, maybe it might be a great thing that I am doing this project to honor our love, you know, around this time. So I wouldn't say it feels different, though. I still feel like, you know, there's a huge part of my life that's gone. But the great thing about the person big was 20 years later, you know, there's a huge part of my life that's gone. But the great thing about the person Big was is 20 years later, me season, you know, we all still laugh at the very same stuff and it's still just as funny. And I don't know.

It's just something about Big that everybody that got a chance to know him, you know, just still feels the same way. You know, he's going to always, it's going to always feel like he's still here, even though he's not. Did you see a car that Big was killed and just sold for $1.5 million? It did sell? I heard yesterday someone told me it would be an auction, but I didn't even know about that. I think they said it was sold or somebody bought it, I believe.

How does that work? Is that like from a tow yard? No, it seems strange for having it for that long. 20 years that cost? I don't understand the point. It's a little weird, but whatever. As your son grows older, does he discover new things about his

father? Well, CJ, I think when he did Notorious, when he played his dad in the movie, I think that was probably a crash course in everything big for him. But every time we're here, he stays with Season Brooklyn. So he kind of gets to

experience some of that, but I think between that and the fact that he's always been real close with Miss Wallace, you know, it's not really many questions, at least that I know of, that he has or has had. He's kind of been just very, oh, wow, he's just been

really realizing things over time. I'm like, oh, wow, I wow I'm like yeah your dad was really you know how did this duet album come about what made you want to do that now well I told Miss Wallace actually back when Natalie Cole put out that Unforgettable project I was like

one day that would be really dope if I could do something like that but it was really just a thought to be quite honest I never moved on it and then a few years ago, my attorney actually was like, remember you said you want to do that project with Big? Let's go meet with the people who got the Masters and do some business. Who has the Masters? Well, Atlantic Warner acquired them from Puff.

So I did my deal with Rhino, which is a subsidiary of Warner Atlantic. Now, was it hard being in the studio listening to his voice? It really wasn't, you know, because I think because we hear his music still. I mean, the only difference in it, I think I did realize a few lines that I thought I had right, that I'm like, oh, I always thought he was saying this, you know, but it wasn't. I didn't even, it was so much fun just to be able to be creative with Biggie vocals and do whatever I want to as a creative person myself. It was, it just came together in a

way I never imagined it could I ain't even gonna lie I feel like his spirit was definitely there every session like I actually toward the end of a court and I was like I felt like he just tapped me I just broke down crying in the corner by myself like I think he just told me he's proud did you find yourself getting into arguments with like you know you knew him so imagine if you were singing a certain way. Did you hear him say, yo, do it this way, Faye? No, but I do joke with him sometimes. I didn't even go live.

When things happen or if I experience things, I'll be like, I know you're clowning me right now. I'm like, okay, I got you. But it wasn't emotional until that particular time when I just felt like, I think he's telling me he's proud. I just was playing the music back for some people in the studio, and everybody was just enjoying it. And I just felt a tap on my shoulder. And I was like, I think that was me. So what is it?

Is it a new production? All new songs. Well, even the verses that you're familiar with, I split them up. I rearranged them. And some songs I'm rapping back and forth with him. Some songs I'm singing around him. So I use them in ways that is completely different records. But there are a few unheard big vocals.

I have a couple of songs that I used his reference from the demos when he wrote for Junior Mafia. And one that he wrote for Cam's album. So I did use those on a couple of songs. Did it make you mad that he don't have more material? Because it was a meme yesterday, and the meme said, if you could bring one person back to do one more album, and I picked Big with no question. Absolutely.

Well, the funny thing is when I first met Big, I used to be driving him all around the place to different little studios to do verses for people. So I'm pretty sure, because I don't recall hearing all of them. I remember like mad little studios in Brooklyn and Queens I used to take him to and wait for him to come out because he just had to do a verse. They said he was big.

They said one thing they used to always say about big, he was about that bag. If somebody said, I got this much money in a brown paper bag, he was going to do it. Yep. Which is probably why I was waiting outside in the car at all the little studios. That was about to happen. Why did you sit in the studio?

I wasn't that type. I, you know, he wasn't going to be in there that long. Anyway, I'll be in the car rolling the L. Anybody in particular you remember him recording with that you're like, damn, what happened to that record? I remember he did something at Special Ed's spot before. I don't know if that ever came out. Y'all might know. No, I don't remember that.

I don't remember being in that record. This dude in Queens actually contacted me when I first was talking about doing this album when I was announcing that I was going to work on it, saying he had these vocals of Biggie

and they were never released and turns out, but turns out they were actually released on, I believe, the Notorious soundtrack just with a different track underneath.

So it wasn't something that, you know, nobody ever heard or was acquired. How was the tour? Did that bring back a lot of memories when you guys went on tour? It was really fun. Because, you know, I never went on the road

with, like, the whole family back in the day. I was always kind of just, I'm going to do my shows on the weekend. Y'all couldn't have those. Like, turmoil, wasn't it? It would have been. You and Kim, you and Mary. Thank you.

Well, I never had no turmoil with Mary. Oh, okay, okay. Not that I knew of. But and Kim, you and Mary. Thank you. Well, I never had no turmoil with Mary. Oh, okay, okay. Not that I knew of. But back then, when they did that first big tour

with all of them on it, Big and I, we were separated. He was messing with Kim, he was messing with Charlie, and I think they were both kind of on the road at one time or another.

And I'm like, I'm doing my little shows, getting my money, singing two singles on the weekend by myself, and they telling me to do it as a promo tour. So where does that make sense?

I'm going to be scrapping. I was like, I'm good. So for me, it was really the first time. I mean, I had a great time because I've never done a production on that level, and it was just really good to be back there watching the screen and seeing the fans respond to them like that. I was really feeling like, oh,

Total, look at your face. I was really feeling like, oh, Total, look at your face. Like, I was really getting emotional. Like, wow, they love them. Just for all the other artists, too. It was just, it was great to see how our particular contribution to music really touched people because every show was lit. All right, we got more with Faith Evans when we come back. We'll talk about her relationship with Lil' Kim.

Also, her relationship with Stevie J. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey everybody, it's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Faith Evans in the building. Now how did you and Lil' Kim become so cool? Are y'all friends now?

I don't know if we're friends because we don't really talk or communicate, you know, that much outside of when we see each other for work. But it was certainly a big deal for me to for her to be receptive to my well wishes. I mean, because I was in that place a long time ago of, you know, hey, Kim, congratulations. But I think she said recently that she just wasn't ready to receive it. So I understand, you know, but she's in a different place. She's a mom. And obviously she's, you know, grown past the holes in the grudge for whatever reason, you know.

But when Big died, for me, all of that went out the window, you know. You always feel like, I don't know why I thought you and Mary had an issue. I think I saw that in a documentary. She felt the way when Puff brought you along. I always heard those things. But to be quite honest, that was never confirmed. I mean, they did tell me I had to take her voice off my album because of some issue that I never

knew about, but I thought that was something between her and him. But I'm kind of glad I don't know what it was about because I can honestly say I really don't know what that was about. Oh, did you have a song together or something? Yeah, my first album we did a song together called Love Don't Live Here Anymore. Wow. And then at the time, the general manager, Bad bad boy called me like probably about six months after my album came out like

mary wants her voice off your album now you need to call i was like no i don't i mean i didn't do nothing to her so what am i gonna call her for i don't know what what happened they didn't tell me what happened so why are you telling me to call her so i just re-recorded the record which i hated without her on it but you you know. But back then, y'all used to record together, right? We did. We used to hang out,

go to the tunnel, you know. She gave me a few garments. A few garments. Big cut up, one of my favorite things that Mary gave me one time, but I mean,

we were cool as far as, it was a Coogee two-piece dress. Coogee. And it was like a big A-line jacket with a skirt. It was real cute.

That's blasphemy. And we got into an argument because I put his bag outside because I didn't want him to make his flight. And then he cut up all my clothes. Biggie cutting up a Coogee is like a patriot burning an American flag. Goodness gracious. Wow. Now, you and Stevie J, he was up here. I know.

I didn't know that was your boo. He's not anymore. Already? It seemed like he was just here. Well, no, that was your boo. He's not anymore. Already? It seemed like he was just here. Well, no, that was... When he was here, we weren't together either. That's not what he said. But then the day before that, he said something else

somewhere else. So who knows what was going on in his mind at that time. And then the TV show came out. I guess that was done probably. Y'all probably taped that way back. Yeah, we filmed during the summer, actually. Yeah. Well, let's listen to what Stevie J had to say when he was on The Breakfast Club

back in December. You know what I'm saying? I've known her for almost 25 years. Bad boy. Did you like her back in the day? Like, back in the day

when she was with Big? No, it wasn't like that. It was just like we was all family and then, you know, as years progressed, we just began to hang out more and talk more.

So, do you see a real future? Like, this could be the person I settle down with? I shouldn't have crossed that line because once you cross that line emotions really overwhelm you know what I'm saying overwhelm me and her so. What do you mean cross the line like have sex?

Yeah. Once you start dating your best friend it's a little different. Right. Wow. Did you know Stevie J had a crush on you like he did? Yeah was it something there when he was a producer? I never took Stevie serious actually but I think probably in the last 10 years I would say like is he trying to flirt let's go like but i never saw him like that no because we've been real i have always had plenty of male friends never dated any of them i was just really cool like that i think i really should have been a boy or something but i'm just

cool with dudes and when i kind of felt like he was trying to come at me probably the first time, but he never came at me. But I'm like, is this nigga staring at me? Like, oh, let's go. Like, oh, he's acting weird. I just kind of took it as. My friends be like, girl, you used to run away from him when you thought he was like. Because I'm like, I don't want to feel like that. I don't want to think that way about him because I know he know better than that.

But, I mean, you know, I don't know what made me even finally say okay. What was he drinking? He convinced me. I ain't even going to lie. Even though I was brushing him off, like, no, for real, I really want to be with you. Like, I love you. And I'm like, I love you too, but I don't know if I want to be with you. You know what I'm saying?

You loved him? Love is a strong word. I still love him. I love him as a friend. I love him. But, I mean, it's not like I'm in love with him. How does Stevie J convince Faith? Because you've been watching the TV show.

You see the TV show. That's what I'm saying. I don't know. He just really convinced me that he really wanted to be in a relationship and convinced me that there was no one else in his life. And then where did it turn? I never was completely convinced.

Did it feel like Biggie all over again? No, no, no, not even. She married Biggie. Not even. No. No, I just felt like I'm not sure that you're really ready. And I'm mature enough. I mean, I was mature enough going into it.

Like, I know there's a 50-50 chance it may not work out. But I know that I have to be mature enough to be able to maintain our friendship because that just wouldn't make sense, you know? So I'm also smart enough to see when it's time for me to, you know, and I did. I think you just wanted to hit Faith. Well, I did. I did a few times. He ain't complaining either. I ain't heard no complaints, but I mean, I just don't like the drama.

Yeah. And I think he might be a little bit addicted to the drama. Now, the Tupac biopic is coming. Are you worried about how you may be portrayed? No. I mean, you can't, what other people think about me is none of my business, but the Tupac

movie isn't my story, so I mean. And actually, somebody had to know to hit my manager yesterday about being on the sound chat for the movie. But I just don't feel like that makes sense. Because they already got the picture floating around, which is the infamous remake of the picture of you and Pac.

And I guess you throwing up the W or whatever. You mean the picture when I had on a red outfit? Yeah, and he had on like a windbreaker or something. That's when I first met him. So that wasn't a studio session or something? No, I was actually out at a club and Tretch was with him and he said Tupac wanted to meet me. So he introduced me.

You didn't have no reservations though, knowing the situation? I didn't know what situation it was. Oh, so the Pac big thing wasn't at the height when that picture was taken? I don't think it was at the height. Actually, it was around the time when, that was around the time when I was in L.A. when they was on the Big Bad Boy Tour, because that's why I was in L.A. writing for this group. I think there had been little talks of him saying that he thought

they set him up with that whole quad thing. That's what it was. But Big really didn't, Big didn't want to believe he thought that. That's what I do know. Big didn't really want to believe that Pac thought that, because he was like, what? I mean, he knows better than that. So, I mean, I don't think there was any hesitation

because when I told Big I met him and that he wanted to do a song with me, he said, are you going to do it? And I said, yeah, if they got the money. He didn't tell me not to do it. If he said don't do it, then I wouldn't have done it. But I mean, again, he was on the road doing his thing. I'm over here trying to be separate and do my own thing. So

I'm just looking at it like I'm out here trying to make money anyway, so why not? But I could kind of tell very quickly that it felt a little weird because when I went in the studio, it was all Death Row people. I didn't know he was signed to Death Row. And what did you think about Remy Marschisa? Did you hear it? Uh-huh.

What did you think about that? Because it reminded me of Tupac's Hit Em Up. It was just so raw and just so... Because everybody's saying Remy's lying. And I'm like, well, did people say Pac was lying? Who cares? It's rap beef. I think she spit on it. That's what I do know. How did it even start? Do y'all know?

I mean, we do, but it ain't... But that song is heavy, though. She definitely spit. Oh, okay. Now, Big necessarily didn't do a diss record back at Pac. And Nicki Minaj hasn't done a diss record to Remy Ma. Do you think that Nicki should do a record? And how come Big never did a diss record directly to Pop?

We heard the little jabs here and there when he did them, but it was never completely. Or was that Who Shot You? Oh, no. Who Shot You was actually, I remember when Who Shot You was recorded. And that was before that quad thing happened. Actually, I don't know if people really know that.

But it was recorded way before that. It probably was released afterwards. So, you know, just like the Get Money video, I was there when they recorded the song. But when it came out in the video, people thought it was about me. But, you know, I always got the impression that Big was really hurt that he would be manipulated to feel that way about him. You know, and I think it was manipulation only based on what Big always told me about him and Pac's friendship. What about Brooklyn's Finers? I always thought he said if Faith had twins, she probably had two Pacs.

He did. So that was a shot at you, Omar. Yes, it was. It was, okay. You threw a shot at you. He did. I was so, because I drove, okay was so because i drove okay here's the tea i remember one day this is when i was praying to a cj and i had to take big to the doctor for

something and him and c's were in the car with me and i'm driving and big played me this jay-z song i don't remember big verse was not on it because i know for a fact that line wasn't on it you know but he was playing me the thing. He may have been writing to it. I don't know. But when I heard the actual song a couple months later, actually my manager, she called me like, you heard this song? Girl, I'm gonna kill you. She said, you ain't got to because

I'm gonna get big. And I'm like, what? Because you know it was just really, number one I was pissed. But I'm like, why would he do this? Not like he ever questioned who I was. He never questioned pissed. But I'm like, why would he do this? Not like he ever questioned, like, who I was. He never questioned that. So I'm like, why would he even do that? But I never said nothing too big about it until after CJ was born.

And I just, I was looking at him, and he was holding CJ. And I just was looking at him, like, with that look of disgust. Like, what are you going to tell your child? Like, that's on record. And he just started crying. Like, what are you going to tell your child? Like, that's on record. And he just started crying. Like, I'm sorry. I mean, I just didn't. I was under pressure.

People was just talking. And I'm like, well. It was clever as hell, though. I mean, it was. But the funny thing is, I was pregnant with twins at first. CJ was a twin. And the second one didn't develop. Really?

Did he know that when he said that line? Yeah, he knew it. Oh. Big would do stuff like that all the time, though. Even in a lot of other rhymes, he would take stuff we talk about or personal jokes and put it in a rhyme and make it seem like something real, although that wasn't a joke. But, I mean, you know, he would always take something real

and put it in a rhyme and kind of exaggerate it or, you know, make it a farce. And it kind of, I wouldn't give my enemy that. I'm not saying that they were real enemies, but if Tupac said that's why FGLB, you're kind of confirming it by saying that. Right. I think it was more of a joke, though, in that round. I don't think nobody took it seriously.

I mean, that's clever in a joke. I took it serious. Oh, yeah. Because I'm like, why would you ever say that? It ain't like you ever said it to me. You know what I mean? Like, step to me like that then. So he never believed you when you told him

you didn't sleep with Pac, I guess. He never made me think he didn't believe me. Really? Yeah, he never made me think he didn't believe me. You know that scene in the movie where he storms in the hotel room? That actually happened. Okay. That actually happened, but he never made me feel that was him.

Like, what happened? What is going on? But unfortunately, you know, I just had to take a jab on the left chin, I guess. You know, jab on the chin in the name of hip-hop, I gotta call it. You really got caught out there. They said I traded in my wedding ring and took them shopping and a whole bunch of stuff. I'm like, I did? All right, well, I mean, I wanted to sue.

My attorney was like, you know, do you really want to go through that? Is it really worth it? You know what I mean? Like, so I just kind of had to suck it up because I definitely didn't want to spend money. My lawyer's telling me, like, you know, you could be really spending money forever trying to fight because of somebody saying something. You know what I mean? But I was just like, I don't want that to cause no issue. Like, that's not cool for him to say that.

That was my thing. But not really knowing that there was such a bigger issue than, you know, him saying that about Big or me. You know what I mean? Did you lose respect for Pac after that? Yeah. He seemed really cool at first. You know, he was very cool. But I didn't totally understand, you know, the bigger picture.

And I didn't know that I was obviously being kind of used in a situation that, you know, was way bigger than me. How different do you think the rap game would be if Big was still alive? Would Big be a mogul on a Jay-Z level? Would he have, I don't know, fallen off maybe? What do you think? I doubt if he would have fallen off. He may have ended up doing a label thing again,

like signing some more artists. I do believe that if Big was alive, we would have done a project like this or, you know, have been trying to do one. Just knowing the way my mind works, you know, I'm always trying to think of the next thing to do. We probably would have tried to get together and work it out a few more times

if we didn't end up together. But we would definitely be best friends. Actually, oh, we're working on a documentary with A&E Films on Big. That's going to come out April 11th. Wow. It's like more of a personal account of who he was. Just little funny stories and stuff from people that were close to him.

I'm actually doing a biopic on my memoir, too. So that'll be out hopefully the end of this year. Are you going to feel the need to, I don't know, I guess defend yourself in a sense? I've never done that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't. But you can defend yourself in a sense. I've never done that. But you can't let them tell the story. I like the fact that everybody that's getting these biopics, a lot of people are still alive, so they can tell their stories. Well, I'm an executive producer on it and I'm

working closely with the screenwriter. It's definitely not going to be something other than what I would want to see on the screen. And I like to be really tactful but honest. You know what I mean? I know there's a lot of things, even in my book, that I was very honest about and if I do

decide to show something that was in my book that's, for example, like the situation with me and Kim. Even in my book, I was, you know, I was very clear about, well, this is how I felt then because of obvious reasons but, you know, I don't feel that way anymore. I actually fought, right?

A couple of times. Yeah. You fought Charlie, too? No, but the second time I fought Kim, I thought it was her that was in the bed. Come on now. I did. So you walked in,

so it was kind of like in the movie when you knocked on the hotel door? That was the first time, but that wasn't Kim. That was somebody else. Yeah, yeah. Man, Fabian's been beating bitches up all over the place, huh?

I ain't say beating nobody. I just was very, you know, I had to do what I had to do. You thought Charlie was in the bed. Well, because that was his girlfriend at the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Kim was like under the covers hiding? No. No, they were asleep.

It was Kim. Oh, okay, okay. I know. So you started hitting on her. It was dark. I had on a scully and a goose down. Oh, you were ready for war? I won't even

say we quite got to scrap. You know what I mean? Because it happened so quickly. Who were you with? By myself. First of all, how did you just sneak up on them like that? First of all, the garage was broken and the elevator was in the garage that lay right upstairs. I'm real like, you know, I'll be mapping it out like that.

I had all my factors in place already. It was in T-Neck. Big bought it to the house? Yeah, I'm sure they used to be there all the time. It wasn't my house. Big wrote the 10 Crack Commandments, and the 10 Crack Commandments, he said, never sell a crack where you rest at. You shouldn't have sex with your other woman where you rest at either.

Well, that wasn't our home together, though. Oh, okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I had a house in South Jersey. We had been separated. So who breaks y'all up? Did he ever, he broke y'all up? Well, no, he could barely get up. He had a rod in his leg, but everybody heard the ruckus, so all of the dudes came in the room, like, he was like, it's fit.

So, I mean, but I stayed there for the rest of the day. It was Christmas morning. And I cooked breakfast. And you still stayed and cooked breakfast? Absolutely. And dinner. So, Kim left. Yes.

At some point. There was no Uber back then. So, how did she? I have no idea. But my Land Cruiser was scratched up from the root of the tooter, honey. When I went outside. Keep that Land Cruiser. A badge. Oh, man. We need to buy a picture. cruiser was scratched up from the root of the cuda honey when i went outside a badge oh man we need this biopic would you do it on what lifetime or something um no bigger than that a bigger

network than that but i think they're gonna make their press release announcement like oh so it's coming coming this year i would love to interview the random woman who faith beat up because she was sleeping with a couple Oh, the one in that hotel? Yeah. Oh, she was a black girl too, by the way. The movie had her. The white girl, yeah. She's in the Virginia Norfolk area somewhere. Oh, you know her? I don't know her, but

I know where that's where it was at because I called my friend and said, come keep shining. I jumped on an early flight to Hampton, went to the hotel and got on the next flight back to Brooklyn. My goodness. Well, we appreciate you for joining us. I mean, this is all laughing about the past. I'm not in that place.

I'm 43. I don't like to fight. But if somebody wants to step to me, then they might have a problem. But I don't. That's not my thing. I'm really cool and funny. I like to make jokes. You know, I like to make good music.

And that album comes out May 19th? Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. The album is available for pre-order now. You can pre-order the album right now. So go pre-order the album. The King and I is available May 19th. And it's The Breakfast Club. It's Faith Evans. Listen up.

It's just in. All the gossip. The Rumor Report. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, if you guys recall, we were at CIAA in Charlotte, North Carolina, and young Dolph, while we were out there, his vehicle got shot up. Fortunately, his vehicle was bulletproof, and he was not harmed.

Well, he is speaking out. He was on TMZ, and here's what he had to say about what happened and who would possibly be targeting him. Whatever was going on, they couldn't do it. They couldn't. Here's what he had to say about what happened and who would possibly be targeting him. Whatever was going on, they couldn't do it. They couldn't. In Memphis, it's this thing called people tricking people out the streets. Get people unfocused on what they're doing. That's all it is. You know what I'm saying?

Like, Dolph built himself up and built himself into becoming a superstar. I'll let us throw Dolph off right quick. He's doing too much. Come on now, man. The city can't say. They mentioned Memphis. They say, Dolph, we can't. We donph off right quick. He doing too much. Come on now, man. The city can't say. They mentioned Memphis. They say, Dolph, we can't. We don't want now.

He doing too much. Don't get mad at me when I'm doing my thing. All right. So he's saying that he wasn't even anywhere near the crime scene. He said, that wasn't my car. That wasn't me. That was my brother. I'm Dolph Cabana.

That's Dolph Obama. Well, I mean, if the bullets were intended for you, I mean, I'm happy you weren't nowhere near the scene, but the bullets were still intended for you. That's really the issue. Thank God he had a bulletproof vehicle. Right. So I don't know what's going on with that, but he did say his bulletproof truck cost $300,000

and it took about four months to build it, and he has two of them. Clearly he knows what's up. Yeah. Clearly you know that people got an issue with you, my brother. Police are still investigating. Okay, Nick Young, people got an issue with you, my brother. Police are still investigating. Okay, Nicky Young, his house got robbed again in L.A. Whew, this is crazy.

L.A. is crazy. All these people's houses getting robbed. As of late, we told you about, oh, we didn't even talk about Yasiel Puig, whose house got robbed just last week. Who the hell is that? He plays for the Dodgers. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We mentioned that.

I think we mentioned that, right? We talked about it in the room, but I don't know if we reported it in the room or report. Alanis Morissette, Derrick Fisher, Big Sean's house got robbed. Nicki Minaj's house got robbed. Why does everybody know where everybody lives at in L.A.? They have that Star Maps thing. You know the Star Maps where they know where all the homes of the famous people are?

They sell those. All right, well, anyway, according to authorities, his house was robbed in February, and then again, and these people made it through his house through an unlocked door. They took about $30,000 in cash, three gold chains, a custom ring, and then they stole a whole entire safe. They probably took that safe because they couldn't get that stuff out. They just take the safe and get it out later.

I stole a safe out of somebody's house before. Back in my criminal days. What's wrong with you? What size was the safe? Big safe? Nah, it was one of those small joints. You managed to pop it open? Yes, we did. And guess what was in there? Nothing. One rubber band. Really? One rubber band. Oh, I know. You were sick. Not a rubber band full of money.

One rubber band. What if there was a note that said... Gotcha. Yeah. One rubber band. That's all that a note that said... Gotcha. Yeah. One rubber band. That's all that was in there. Was it worth it? No. All right.

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton. More issues with custody over their son, Julian. Now, Paula Patton's nanny actually had to call 911. And what she's saying is that young Julian, who's six years old, every time he's supposed to go with his dad, he is a wreck. Now, we told you before that Julian had went to school and says that his dad, Robin Thicke, uses excessive physical punishment on him, and he's being investigated for that already. Well, here's what the nanny said on this 911 call. We have a court order document that, you know, child does not want to go with his father. He doesn't have to go. And

now we feel like we're being enforced. We need you to come enforce the order. We have a restraining order. The person is within distance of the restraining order. He's in violation of it currently. And this child is literally begging for me and everyone to call 911. That's how much he does not want to go. He's six years old. And literally every time we have you visit, the night before, the day before, like the day of, he's crying

trying to avoid this, like the plague. Like, it needs to end. They build that kid up to that. They build that kid up to that. There's no way a five, six-year-old knows to call 911 and all that. They build that kid. They give that kid that as an out. Well, we don't really know what's going on, though, because if this child is really freaking out and saying that

their dad is... We don't know. We don't know. That's putting his head like that. No kid's gonna know to call 5 o'clock because his dad had unusual punishment. Well, I don't know if the kid said it like that, but we don't know. He said, oh, my dad is using excessive punishment, but if he's going to school and saying that his dad

is being... You have to investigate. There's nothing you can do about that. Well, if your child does something wrong and you get popped and you allow him to be able to use that as an out, he's going to use that every single time he gets in trouble. All I'm saying is we don't know what's going on at all, period. It could be something.

It could be nothing. We just don't know. But I think the right thing to do is to see what it is. All right, Lil Wayne is debuting Young Money Radio at South by Southwest. He's going to be hitting the air and he's going to be on the radio.

He's doing internet radio. So he's starting that at his headlining showcase at South by Southwest. Now, I don't know how much longer this is going to last. It's not going to last long. If he's going to have his own, you know, you think it's just this one-time thing? It's not going to last long. He has to be consistent on the radio. No, it's not going to last long.

It's like a podcast. You don't see us putting out albums. Some people do. Stay in your lane, Wayne. I don't want to hit you over here in this radio world. Well, he's going to be doing exclusive interviews for the launch of the station. So I don't know if he's interviewing people. He's letting people interview him.

But that could be interesting. Lil Wayne interviewing people? I mean, you know, if it was things that he was actually interested in, like skateboarding. Sports. You don't even know the rappers that are out here. He loves sports. He claims not to know who Kodak Black is, Lil Yachty, all these new rappers. Who are you going to interview?

Some of the people that he does know. You know what would be dope? Lil Wayne talking to himself. Lil Wayne giving himself a deposition would be amazing. I'd tune into that. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Charlemagne. Yes. Who are you giving that down with, Katu? Man, this is a moment straight out of a Dave Chappelle TV show. This is a boondocks, you know, N-word moment. You need two dead people to come to the front of the congregation. The names are Canyon Molitor and Elroy Ashley. I'll tell you how they died.

They're probably already up there. Elroy. We syndicated in limbo. They listening to us right now. Okay. We are. We'll get into it when we come back. Keep it locked.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Jungle Bay. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey. Hee-haw. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years,

but donkey of the day is a new one. Donkey of the day. For Thursday, March 9th, goes the Canyon Charles Molitor and Elroy Ishmael Ashley. I think I pronounced their names right. They're from St. Augustine, Florida. Now, I have told you over and over,

the craziest people in America absolutely are from Florida. I don't even think it's close. Okay, the Bronx is a close second. But all of Florida is nuts. Nine out of ten, damn, that really happened stories? Come out of Florida. And this story between Canyon

Molitor and Elroy Ashley is one of those stories. Now, Canyon is 25 and Elroy is 30, respectively. Well, they were 25 and 30. That's how it ended. They got into an argument with each other online and decided to meet up and handle their issues in person. I'm sitting here shaking my head

because I'm wondering why either one of them have that kind of time. I get into it with people on social media often. I'm not proud of that fact. I try my hardest not to get into it with the thumb thugs, the broadband bloods, the cyber crypts of the world. I pray to God to give me strength to ignore the digital death threats that are thrown my way.

But Canyon and Elroy didn't have that strength because they said, F all of that snap capping. Okay? All them Instagram intimidation tactics. They decided to pull up on each other at this convenience store, and this happened.

Let's go to WJXT TV News Channel 4 for the report, please. Scott, it was, according to investigators, and they say that online dispute had been ongoing for some time. It led to them meeting up at this convenience store and then the shooting taking place while many people were going into and coming out of that store. It wasn't until hours after the shooting

that the detectives learned 30-year-old Elroy Ashley and 25-year-old Canyon Molitor agreed to meet here to settle a previous dispute. But it was a dispute that turned bloody when police say both men started shooting at each other. The exchange of gunfire left both men wounded. Molitor died at the scene. Hours after arriving at the hospital,

Ashley died from his injuries as doctors tried to save his life. I love Twitter, okay? I love Instagram. I like Snapchat. I love Twitter, okay? I love Instagram. I like Snapchat. I love social media as a whole, but not enough to die for it, okay? I understand social media is the new way to communicate, but I refuse to take anything I see on social media this serious, all right?

I want to pull up on someone with my pistol? No, okay? I refuse because we have to understand these people on social media don't know us. And if I do find myself in a dispute with someone I know on social media, I'm going to stop that before it even starts, okay? And I might call that person, but what I'm not going to do is take a penitentiary chance or risk my life over

social freaking media. Okay, we don't know what the afterlife is, but if it is like a waiting room, and you're sitting around waiting to see your creator, to see where you're going to spend the rest of your afterlife and someone asks you what you in for and your dumb ass has gotten into it with this F boy on Facebook, had to pull up on him real quick. Nah, bro. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Look, the moral of the story is this. When somebody pisses you off on social media, uh, says something you don't like, you don't have to reply.

It's block buttons. It's mute buttons. You can unfollow. It's all kind of ways to avoid pulling up on someone and shooting and killing them at a convenience store, okay? Learn from the mistakes of other kids. Please, give Canyon, Charles Molitor, and Elroy, Ishmael, Ashley the biggest hee-haw.

They deserve it. What were these tweets? I don't know. Yeah, what was the argument? That's what I want to know.. They deserve it. What were these tweets? I don't know. Yeah, what was the argument? That's what I want to know. I want to know what was in these tweets. You know what it is, man? It's just when you say something in front of,

like if you're arguing with somebody and it's just you and them, it's just you and that other person. Right. It's not bad. It probably won't get out of hand. But when other people are around, you start thinking about what other people are thinking.

And your ego comes into play. You feel like your pride's hurt. Well, meet me at the 7-Eleven then. Right now. Such and such address. If you bout it, bout it, fool. Ain't no way in hell. No one's ever made me that mad on Twitter. I'm going to be honest with you. They deserve to have nobody

come to their funeral. That's one of them funerals I wouldn't even show up to like now. I'm ashamed how you died, sir. My goodness. All right. If you're ashamed of how a person died, you don't have to go to their funeral. Yes, you do. That's a rule.

Yes, you do. Nope. Yes, you do. All right. Well, thank you for that, Duncan, today. When we come back, Premier will be joining us. DJ Premier. DJ Primo.

Primo. So we're going to kick it with him. Gangstar is Primo. He's produced for so many people in the industry. Of course, he was with Gangstar. He produced for Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera, just to name a few. So we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angelique. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. A legend.

DJ Premier. What's going on, everybody? How you doing? Premier, what's happening, my brother? I'm good. I'm good. Good to be here. Congratulations.

He's been waiting. When we did the thing at Unwanted, he was like, yo, we got to get you on there. We got to get you on there. We're coming to the Breakfast Club, man. Well, you have so much going on. Well, I saw him at the Mondrian in L.A. Mondrian in L.A. Way back.

I was waiting for my car, and you said, I got to get you on then. Absolutely. So we've been almost three years. Wow, that was three years ago. Three years ago. Premier's a legend, man. I mean, Premier's crafted some of the greatest hip-hop records of all time, worked with some of the greatest hip-hop artists.

And still making hits. Oh, yeah. Let's start from the beginning. Let's start from the beginning. Now, how did Premier get into DJing? How did it start? Well, I'm originally, I was born in Fifth Ward, shot to the Ghetto Boys, you know, Houston.

Then I moved to a town called Prairie View, real small country town. My mother really, really had music popping since I could remember. So from that point, I was always fascinated with the way a record looked. It looked like a toy. Right.

Because, you know, the little colors and, you know, Motown, the the map and it's spinning around and Tamla records and I that's what I remember and my mother used to always say don't you ever touch the top of that record you hold it from the side right absolutely touch that record and I I've gotten a lot of beatings you know you know that's when you could beat your kids and you don't have uh you know ACS picking you you know picking you up for for abuse child abuse. We got our weapons.

So that's really where it comes from. And then once it got to the point, my grandfather lived in Brooklyn, which is my mom's pop. I started to get fascinated with the whole New York scene because we used to always go every summer to stay with him. Once we started staying with him and I started seeing the B-Boys and things like that, I was there for the Black on 77. I was there.

Wow. I always wondered how did a on 77. I was there. Wow. I always wondered how did a brother born in Houston end up being one of the producers that shaped the sound in New York? Because Houston got its own unique sound as well. How did you meet Gangsta? I mean, the guru. Well, it's funny because most people, whenever people would see us together. He's from Boston, right? He's from Boston.

Whenever people would see me by myself, they'd be like, yo, Premier, what's up, man? Where's Gangsta? Or they'd say, yo, Gangsta, what's up? What's up, Premier? So it was always, you know, and he is Gangsta, you know, technically before I joined the group. But Gangsta already existed back with,

the originators was Big Suge, Suge's brother Suavdy, and Guru. They were in Morehouse at the time. And when they got together in Morehouse, they were called the Gangsters. That's Suge named that. Then they switched it and said, you know what? That's a little too tough back then. We're talking about early 80s.

And then they changed to Gangstar and that stuck. So really Suge, Swab D and Guru are the originators of that name. I heard Gangsta on Kiss. We read Alert one day, a song called Bust a Move Boy, and I thought they were called GameStop because of the accent. Because, you know, he's saying Gangsta. I thought it was GameStop. You know what I mean?

The accent was heavy back then. But it was already on when you heard it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't join them until the third single. Gotcha. So there were no albums yet just 12 minutes y'all know the era of the 80s was mainly albums were still rare did you have any reservations about working with gangsta because they were from boston and you were so new york and no because i mean we were both you know from another place and we wanted to just get the main thing at that time wasn't even the

money we just wanted new york to say yo y'all are dope all right and at that time wasn't even the money. We just wanted New York to say, yo, y'all are dope. And at that time, everybody wanted that from the N.W.A.'s to everybody else. Even though they repped where they were from, from the West Coast, you still wanted the New York acceptance. Do you think New York shaped y'all or y'all shaped New York? Especially being that you from Houston, he from Boston. They shaped us. Absolutely. Yeah, they shaped us because they showed us how to do it. And then after seeing how to do it, you want to make sure that all the people,

I just wanted Melly Mel to say you were dope and Flash. And I wanted EPMD to say, yo, you're dope. And then they were like, yo, come on tour with us. And that was our first major tour was EPMD with DJ Quick, Father MC, and Gangsta. And Chub Rock. And Chub Rock. We just did something with Chub Rock, remember?

Yeah, Chub Rock. In Alabama. Alabama, yeah. Shout out to Chub. Oh, Chub's still. And Chubb Rock. We just did something with Chubb Rock, remember? Yeah, Chubb Rock. In Alabama. Alabama, yeah. Shout out to Chubb. Oh, Chubb's still making 10 grand a show. What's that song? Treat Him Right. Treat Him Right, yeah.

1990. And he's a National Merit Scholar. Wow, yeah. I just remember as a DJ growing up, we used to try to idolize and follow your cuts, your scratches, because they were easy to see on the records. Because like on the duet, you would try to do it, you'd try to figure it out all the time. So you taught a lot of people.

So now, how did you hook up with Biggie? With Big? With Big. Now, you did the Gangstar stuff and you did DeWitt. Now, how was the Big? Because you and Big's chemistry was like no other. We used to always go by 40s. You know, we were all old.

By 40s? Yeah, we were OEX. Everybody knows there ain't no secret guru can drink. We'd go on the block. This is now going into 92. This one, Take It Personal is out.

We're popping big time. We used to always go to the corner on Fulton and Washington to the corner store and Biggie would be out there on the corner. He already knew who we were. Shout out to Nino, Chico, the whole Junior Mafia. We used to just hang to the corner on Fulton and Washington to the corner store, and Biggie would be out there on the corner, and he already knew who we were. Shout to Nino, Chico, the whole Junior Mafia. We used to just hang. D-Rock. Yeah, D-Rock, yes.

Shout to D-Rock, Gutter, everybody. So we used to go on the block, Copa 40, go to the spot on the corner to light up, stand there and just rap with him because he already knew who we were. Right. And he was like, yo, man, I want to get on. I want to get on. And we had already knew that Puff was and he was like yo man i want to get on i want to get on and and we had already knew that uh puff was was already you know looking into working with him because he already had the you know he's working at uptown with the mca deal prior to bad boy and then as

things started to trickle down and puff started coming around the way to get biggie biggie was like yo i'm going to do a demo and next thing you knew he was on the who's the man soundtrack it was biggie nathan do you know he was going to be a special that he turned out to be? Not yet, because honestly, I got to give Mr. C the credit, man. Mr. C lived down the block from us, and he used to always really annoy me about Biggie Smalls, Biggie Smalls. I'm like, I'm going to listen to it. I'm going to listen to it.

He used to give me these cassettes, and I just would never listen to it. We were kind of active where I was kind of like, alright, alright, alright. He'd see me again and see me and be like, yo, Biggie Smalls, Biggie Smalls. That's why he does deserve a lot of credit for Big and he kept pushing it and pushing it. One day I finally heard the demo and then we met Big.

So once we met him, he wasn't laid back then. He was the hyper voice. Was that party in both times or before that? This was before. Yeah, this was before. Alright, we got more with Primo when we come back. Don't move. It was the hyper voice. Was that party in both times or before that? This was before. Yeah, this was before. All right, we got more with Primo. When we come back, don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. My body is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. DJ Premier is in the building. Charlamagne? This is the 20th anniversary of Big's death. So this is an interesting comic.

There's two stories that I always wanted to ask you about. J.Ruda Dameron used to do a lot of work with him, but he used to come at like Big. So did that affect you and Big's relationship? It affected us. Basically, what happened was we did a record called One Day on the Wrath of the Math album. That's the second album because him and Big, all of us

used to hang on the regular. When we did Wrath of the Math, we were recording the album and we did a song i did a beat and he was like yo i want to talk about how i see hip-hop right now my vision of it it's gonna be almost like something that happened just in a day so he wrote it in that way and i remember when he did it uh one of the homies and our crew was like i know you ain't putting that out right you know he done maybe just doing just a bug out just our own little little thing crew was like, I know y'all ain't putting that out, right? You know, we done maybe just doing this to bug out just our own little

thing that was like, nah, I mean, I ain't afraid to put this out. Let's put it out. What you want me to do? All the big willy talk? No, no, no, no. Playing yourself playing yourself was misconstrued. We had the same sample of the player's anthem.

Clark and Junior Mafia beat us to it. I'm a beat maker. We're competing. I'm like, you know what? I'm going to flip it backwards. Because when they came out first, the drama with all the stuff with the Big and J.Rude thing, when they came first. Playing Yourself came afterwards, so it made it look like, well, y'all really going at these dudes.

But it had nothing to do with them. It's just, I said, I'm going to flip it backwards and play it a funkier way. And then, boom, there's a record. Did y'all have fallout, you and Big, because of that? We had a heated discussion. The main discussion really was with Puff and J. Rue. And they had the discussion on the phone.

The illest part is Puff called the label because we were on payday and that was my manager's label. He called the label and this was a big deal back then in 95, 96. He said, here's my house phone, here's my car phone,

here's my boat phone. And we like, damn, he got a boat phone. You know what I'm saying? so he was, the willingness was way beyond what anybody else was doing. That's why I always say, yo,

but you got to give Puff his. He was beyond everybody when it came to the newest stuff, the style, everything. We got to tip your hat and hate him or love him. So they eventually squashed it?

It squashed, how would you say? We've grown out of it. I don't think they've seen each other since. Me and Puff have. I've seen Gutter and all of them and D-Rock. Everything was all love. I pretty much was the middle guy that could diffuse anything

because I've been a front-line man from day one, still am. In any drama, even from Guru on down, if there was something going on that had to be handled, I was always front line. And anybody that knows me will tell you the same thing. So when it came to that, jabs were thrown lyrically, but it never got to a violent situation. Because if it did, I'm sure the whole hip-hop community would have known about that. But it didn't happen.

The other big story I wanted to ask you about, I read it in Angie Martinez's book. You did Ten Crack Commandments as a promo for Angie, the instrumental. Yep. And Big heard it. Yeah for Angie, the instrumental. Yep. And Big heard it. Yeah. No, Puff heard it. Actually, what happened was back at that time, Angie was like the person. Absolutely.

I mean, the person. The battle of the beats. Yeah. And everybody was doing dope promos for her. It was like, dang, this should be a record, you know. Ow. So we did one because J. Rue was popping at the time. Come clean. Come clean. Can't stop the profit. You know, the bitches, you know, all that stuff.

So when we did that, Puff came up there and heard that, you know, she just happened to play the promo. She had played it many other times, but she happened to play the promo that particular day that Puff came up there. All of a sudden he goes, Pr goes primo if you're out there please call me you know call the warm line puff gets on the phone he's like yo i need that beat you know and i'm like well you know that's me and jayru and you know y'all y'all ain't cool and uh he's like listen see if he's down down to let that go he said i'll throw the money over xyz i called rue and what is what i like about J. Rue. J. Rue was like, yo, man, that's hip-hop.

Let it go. And that was the first one that you produced a bit? No, Unbelievable. Unbelievable was the first one. Unbelievable was the first. And then Kicking the Door and then 10 Crackin' Mams. And then after he passed on the Born Again album, I did Rap Phenomenon with Meth and Red.

And how'd you look up with Hov? I knew Jay way back because I used to see Jay with Kane. I used to see him with Jazzo. And at that time, I'm in the same neighborhood. But it was just a mutual what's up all the time. Did you and Jay's relationship

ever go bad? Because when Jay dropped an album, he always had a primo record. And then all of a sudden, it just disappeared. So I thought maybe, I said, well, maybe they had a bad relationship or fallen out or something.

We had a couple fallouts that were minor, but I'm a guy that, if I feel like I gotta distance myself for certain reasons, I do it. The other times was just, you know, Jay wants it done now. If it's not ready,

he's moving on without you, which I gotta respect that, he's moving on but there were two or three situations so he called you and asked you for a beat and you was like, I'm on tour and you was like, hi no, it wasn't any response it was just, whenever we see each other for some reason, man, we would just always

be like, yo, let's holler and it'd be cool every album, man, was a big moment Soul Ghetto was one of my favorite records of all time. Hey, I'll give you a good one. The Black Album was supposed to just be me and him. Really?

Yeah. Yeah. He called me one day and said, yo, I'm doing the Black Album, this thing in the Black Album, and I want you to do whatever you can to just not do anything for like two weeks. And we just lock in and do it.

I was like, I'm down down and it just never surfaced he went on to do the uh dynasty album then he did another album and then he went to the black album but i was on tour at the time so i couldn't get in to do the track because i was overseas but i was that that was supposed to be our project so you didn't get no work in on the black album at all no that's when ninth wonder started to come in. And he did the Threats record, which is, you know, it kind of has a preem bounce to it. A lot of preem.

Shout to 9th, you know. Yeah, that's the homie right there. Being that you worked with all three, who's the best MC, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas? Who? Man. Biggie's the most fun, you said. Yeah.

Just the best. Like, Jay said it.ay said it was just like the comparison the pocket big you can't put them in the same boat even though they're both great you know i just like all three of them you know and that's not even to say i don't want to pick who's better it's just you like them all three for different reasons right nas is the the the the project just hood hood kid with the lyrics. Jay made all the hustlers, everybody that's just really on a super grind on another level, he just spoke to them.

You know, that's what I love about Jay. Still love about him. He knows how to talk hustler lyrics. You know, he's just great at it. And Big is just a combination of everything. You know, and he didn't write. You know, I know I saw something recently, somebody said they saw Biggie write,

I don't know who it was, just a couple recently. Somebody said they saw Biggie write. I don't know who it was. It's just a couple days ago saying they saw Biggie write lyrics. He had a pad when we did Unbelievable. He's just doing this, making little funny little figures. And then we're there for almost eight hours. I'm like, yo, I'm ready to go home. You want me to come back tomorrow? And he's like, oh, no, I'm ready.

You ready? He's like, yeah. Goes in there live from bed for five or so. Really? Yep. And sometimes it's from bed for five or so. Really? Yep. And sometimes it's hard because you can't even

figure out what Biggie could have evolved into as an artist. Him, Big L. Because he was so young. Big L would

have been a problem. Big would have still been a problem. Pac would have still been a problem.

I think it would be harder for the artists that are not too lyrical to even get into the door if they were still

around. But Jay didn't write either, though. I didn't see Jay write either. Yeah. No, never witnessed it. So, Primo, what projects are you working on now? Yeah, this is going to be a very busy year for me. You know, as I said, year-round records is going to be...

I have four projects that are coming out soon. We're doing another Prime 2 with Royce59. Okay. We're almost done with that. Shout out to Royce. It's another dope album. And I have a band called The Batter Band. The Batter. Yeah.

We're about to do a tour and we're going to drop an EP where pretty much I come up with the beats and everything and they will just replay them and then we play all of my classics live. We have a really tight set. Our show is amazing.

So, it's a lot going on. I always felt like hip-hop needed more bands because it's like, it's the roots and then nobody else. It's just Sonic.

And it's out there a little bit. It's just Sonic, the first hip-hop band. It's just Sonic. Yeah. Dope. We appreciate you for joining us, bro.

Yeah, man. Anytime. I love it. Absolutely. I love your stories. Primo DJ Premier. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Salute.

The Breakfast Club. Hey. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. That was fake love. Good morning. Fake love. What's happening? What's wrong with you? Why, why, why, why, why? Something got to be wrong with me.

What are you doing over there? I can't be happy? I'm blessed and highly favored. I always got a reason to smile. All right. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Remy Ma. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.

Rumor has it. On the Breakfast Club. Listen up. Well, Remy Ma recently did a Facebook Live session with BuzzFeed's Another Round podcast, and she talks about no more beef with Nicki Minaj as far as no more diss records. Here's what she had to say about Sheether. It won't go away.

I realized recently that I really mastered the art of arguing after I put out this record. And I'm like, maybe I should have took it a little easy. You think so? No, I don't think so. I didn't think it. No, I don't think so. But, you know, it's over now.

I mean, if she wants to say something, then cool. But I've said what I had to say, and that's really it. All right. She also talks about the fact that it could have been powerful for her and Nicki to do something together. But people feel things go a lot more viral when it's beef, right? Here's what Remy and I had to say about that. I don't regret it, but I'm not particularly proud of it. Like, I don't feel like I just think it's crazy the way people celebrate,

you know, women attacking each other as opposed to working together. I didn't look at her attacking Nicki, though. It's just rap. Like, you know what I mean? Like, when a man does a record at a guy, I don't say,

oh, he's attacking another man. It's competitive. It happens sometimes. People clash at the top. Right, and she feels like, I mean, the reason why it went so viral is it is her against Nicki Minaj. And that, for some reason, people care more about that than if they would have came together and did a record together. It's like that historically with any agenda, though.

Now, here's what you have to say about beef records and if you feel like anything should be off limits. Did you feel like there's anything in particular that's off limits when it comes to that? No. Nothing about family, nothing personal, nothing you wouldn't want said about you? No, everything's fair. That's like saying, oh, you have a fight with somebody, but don't pull my hair.

I'm such a headache. I don't care. I agree. You can never tell somebody how to react. If you push somebody, they might pull out a gun and clap you. It's not up to you to say they went too far. All right. Well, Remy, Ma, and Pepus, by the way, are working on a relationship book right now as well. So it's about them remaining strong while she was in prison and he was at home.

And him managing her and all of that, how they managed to operate as a unit. And I'm sure the name of it is Black Love, as it should be. All right. Speaking of love, guess what new couple alert is out there now? Who, who, who? Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez from the New York Yankees, former Yankees player. They're going to have a Bronx baby.

Right. Well, they've been seeing each other for about four months now. Same difference. No, it's not. Okay. They both love New York. Let's just say it. Yeah, he's not. Okay. They both love New York. Let's just say that. Yeah, he's Rodriguez.

He played in the Yankees. Who else would he be? He's Rodriguez. That doesn't make him from the Bronx. 90% of all Rodriguez's live in the Bronx. Stop it. Oh, my goodness. Well, don't give him a round of applause.

That's the truth. That was not 70%. Now, according to sources, both of them are not trying to have anything serious, so they have that in common. They're just having a good time with each other. They're not trying to settle down, so that's their new relationship. Jennifer Lopez. That's a handsome couple.

Pretty looking couple. Terrible name together, though. Daily News has J-Rod on the front page. What's better? A-Lo? A-Lo. A-Lo. A-Lo or J-rock. All right.

All right. And there's a brand new documentary, The Can't Stop, Won't Stop the Bad Boy Story, that's going to be debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Now, Diddy has put out a statement in Billboard. He said, I'm blessed to be introducing our film at the Tribeca Film Festival. Tribeca brings the biggest names in entertainment and culture together with visionaries from across

industries. So it's going to look at behind the scenes of Bad Boy and in-depth look at the two-night anniversary event that they had at the Barclays Center. I went there for that and also Bad Boy's beginnings in Harlem and in Brooklyn. The influence of Bad Boy on pop

culture, fashion, music, and of course the tragic murder of Biggie I think we're in that too by the way we are? I think so oh he did film he was being interviewed up here it was something I don't know I signed something you and I signed a bad boy
