Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

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.

And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?

Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet.
It's Thursday.
Yes, it's Thursday.
Yeah, I woke up this morning and I took a shower with the little tiny pieces of soap.
Oh.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I didn't have any more bars and stuff.
Because, you know, we've been gone. We've been gone for like the past 10, 15 days.
You know what I'm saying?
I never use bar soap. So I use the little tiny, 15 days. You know what I'm saying? I never use bar soap.
So I use the little tiny pieces of soap.
You know what I mean?
Just so I don't forget where I come from.
You don't use liquid soap?
Yeah, most people use liquid soap.
Nah, I don't like liquid soap.
I like the bars.
That's interesting.
I like Irish Spring and Cetaphil.
Bars.
I use the liquid soap.
It works a lot better.
Lavish the body.
I use Shea Moisture.
Well, today is Throwback Thursday, and you know who's
stopping by? Oh, my God.
The triple OG.
I guarantee you he should
have sex with your mama or your grandma
and your auntie's dim.
Keith Sweat will be here this morning. Yeah, he'll be here for Throwback Thursday.
But we got balance, too.
What? We got current.
Even though Keith is current in an
adult, urban AC type of way,
we got Andre Iguodala coming here.
From the Golden State Warriors.
Yeah.
They lost this year.
If you don't know who he is, I know you know highlights.
Remember when he was about to go up for the layup
and LeBron came out of nowhere and smashed that ball?
If you're a sports fan, you know who Andre Iguodala is.
A lot of people might not, but they know the highlights for it.
I doubt it. They know LeBron blocked somebody. They don't know who Andre Iguodala is. A lot of people might not, but they know the highlights for it. I doubt it.
They know LeBron blocked somebody.
They don't know who he blocked.
That's the dude he blocked.
He's like, oh, yeah, LeBron had an amazing block to win the game.
Yeah, that's the dude he blocked.
It wasn't Steph Curry.
It wasn't Klay Thompson.
It wasn't Draymond Green.
It was the other guy.
All right.
But he was the NBA Finals MVP last year.
Let's be clear on that.
He was, yeah.
So we'll kick it with him this morning.
He was the most famous Iggy before Azalea. Now,
we didn't talk about this yesterday, but I was
reading about these 33 people
that overdosed on K2. They had a bad
batch of K2. You know that's right by my house in Brooklyn.
Yeah, they look after. What the hell is K2?
Is it synthetic type of weed? What is K2? I don't know
what it is. Yeah, it's synthetic marijuana.
So they make the marijuana. They don't
grow it from trees. They just make it. We don't know what it is.
Clearly it's not good for you, but they said it was like the walking dead over there.
Bro, same way you shouldn't wear fake Jordans, you shouldn't smoke fake weed.
If you can't afford real weed, just don't smoke it at all, bro.
I don't know if you saw the video, but there's one guy yelling, my effing throat is on fire.
He's screaming, get it out, get it out.
Brooklyn looked crazy the other day.
I mean, people were just leaning on fire hydrants.
They were shaking.
They were just walking in the middle of the street.
They looked disgusted out in Brooklyn. Now, shout out to
Paris, because that's right by the train stop that Paris
has to take that works
with me every single morning. So she said, that's right
at the train station. And see, and if you over there...
She said it's always like that over there. And if you over there
and one of them zombies try to attack you, you gotta
kill him. You gotta take him down
immediately. This ain't a movie. You ain't gotta kill
him. You don't gotta kill him, but you gotta take him down. You gotta take him down immediately. This ain't a movie. You ain't got to kill him. You don't got to kill him, but you got to take him down.
You got to take him down.
They got their mind.
Drive it through their heart.
Call 911 immediately.
Hurry it up.
You don't know what's on their mind.
They on drugs.
They going to hurt you.
You got to take them down.
Absolutely.
I'm in L.A., just so you guys know.
I don't know if you noticed I'm not in there.
No, we didn't even notice.
I didn't even notice you wasn't here.
I didn't even look over there.
Oh, all right.
Well, front page news, what are we talking about?
Well, speaking of L.A., you know the ESPYs happened here yesterday.
So we'll tell you about a statement that Carmelo, Chris Paul, D. Wade, and LeBron made at the ESPYs.
It was very powerful.
All right, we'll get to that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get into some front page news. Now, last night was the ESPY awards yes Mello Wade LeBron they made a bold
statement opening up the show and Chris Paul yes they actually started off the show with that they
were talking about how professional athletes need to be involved in pushing for social change after
everything that's been happening with police brutality. Check out how Carmelo set it off.
In this moment of celebration, we actually start the show tonight this way.
The four of us talking to our fellow athletes with the country watching because we cannot
ignore the realities of the current state of America.
The events of the past week have put a spotlight on the injustice, distrust, and anger that
plagues so many of us.
The system is broken.
The problems are not new.
The violence is not new.
And the racial divide definitely is not new.
But the urgency to create change is at an all-time high.
I'm mad I missed that in real time, man.
It was great.
I had a hot game of Candyland going on with my daughter, so I didn't watch that.
Did you win or did you lose?
Did I win? I won the first game. She won the second game. You beat game of Candyland going on with my daughter, so I didn't watch that. Did you win or did you lose?
I won the first game.
She won the second game.
You beat her at Candyland?
Why would you not let her win? She's eight years old.
Here's what Chris Paul had to say on stage.
We stand here tonight accepting our role in uniting communities to be the change we need to see.
We stand before you as fathers, sons, husbands, brothers,
uncles, and in my case as an African-American man and the nephew of a
police officer who was one of the hundreds of thousands of great officers
serving this country. But Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Gardner, Laquan McDonald, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile.
This is also our reality.
Absolutely right.
I love that.
But what's the plan of action?
So as far as D-Wade and LeBron, we'll play that during rumor report.
What LeBron said was pretty dope.
He was like, you know, after we leave here, we have to go into our communities and start talking to police officers and start talking to people to try to make a change.
I thought that was pretty dope.
I thought that was pretty dope.
And you know what's so crazy?
We lose so many African-American people.
We forget.
I seen a picture of Sean Bell and I was like, damn.
That's what I said.
We forget about all the people that were killed and shot and lost.
Absolutely.
Like this isn't a problem that's been going on for the past week.
This is a problem that's been going on for years, decades.
Really, 400 plus years of oppression and murder, okay?
But, you know, when you say that, people will be like, oh, you're race baiting.
No, I'm just speaking the truth.
Now, police released another video, Yee.
Yes, the police in Fresno did release the video.
This is from June 25th that shows officers pulling over Dylan Noble.
Now, they shot this 19-year-old man.
And according to this video, if you see it, it shows that Dylan Noble did ignore repeated commands to stand still and show his hands.
And according to the chief police, he said it was important for the public to see.
He said he prays it won't spark violence with all of the anti-police sentiment in Fresno and elsewhere.
He said tensions are high,
but it does show that he did not comply with commands.
And then he is heard saying that he hates his life.
Then one officer fired twice.
Noble felony was shot two more times
while on the ground moving his arms.
So they believed, according to the police chief,
that he was reaching for a weapon.
He didn't have a weapon, though.
But it turned out he was just holding a small plastic box.
Now, of course, Dylan Noble's mother is trying to make them, is actually suing for this.
And by the way, Dylan Noble was an unarmed white man.
So once again, I keep trying to tell y'all, this is an American issue.
So I don't understand why more Americans aren't outraged.
Because, you know, a lot of guys like to throw out that stat,
and the stat is more white Americans get killed by the police.
Okay, we know there's more white people out here, so that's probable.
But that doesn't matter.
The issue is why isn't all of America outraged that so many unarmed people
are getting killed at the hands of the police, whether they're white or they're black?
Right.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Now tell them why you're mad. Right. All right. Well, that's front page news.
Now, tell them why you're mad.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent.
Call us right now.
Maybe somebody pissed you off.
You had a bad night, a bad morning.
You just need to vent.
Get things off your chest so you can have a great day.
Call us up right now.
800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Hey, hey, hey, yo. Hey, yo, good morning, yo. This is the Mad Rapper, son, Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Hey, hey, hey, yo, hey, yo, good morning, yo.
This is the Mad Rapper, son, for real.
I'm mad and I stay mad.
I stay angry.
I stay heated.
I stay pissed off.
Tell them why you mad.
Breakfast Club, let's go.
This is Maverick.
What's up?
Maverick, tell them why you mad, bro.
Well, I'm kind of mad at Charlamagne's comment the other day. What happened was a lot of my friends were listening in on the Black Lives Matter movement that you were hosting.
And you kind of said that, you know, it was a cause and effect issue.
And they were agreeing with that.
But I kind of disagree with you.
And the reason why I say that is because it may be an effect of what had happened.
But that doesn't necessarily make it right.
We don't fight fire with fire.
You put fire out with fire.
Oh, time out, my brother.
I never said it was right.
I just simply said it was a cause and effect situation.
So why are you adding on that I said it was right?
No, no, no.
I didn't say that you said it was right.
I'm saying that what you said was the cause and effect and that people were saying that it was right.
And I don't believe that.
What I'm saying is that I agree that it is an effect of what had happened.
But what I want our black people to understand is that we don't fight fire with fire.
We get them with water. But what you need
to understand is for every action, there's an equal
or opposite reaction. Period.
Like, you can't expect to continue to push people
and not expect them to push back. Hello, who's this?
A black African-American law enforcement
officer. I'm not mad. I'm more
so upset. Talk about what are
we going to do about the change?
If we want change, you got to be the change.
Become a cop.
That's what I've been saying.
I've been saying we need more of ourselves,
more of our faces in police departments,
fire departments, sergeants, lieutenants, et cetera.
That's a small part of a long-term solution.
Everybody can't be police officers, sir.
And guess what?
Even if more of us are police officers,
it's still going to be people in the police department
who have this mentality of shoot first, ask questions later.
We have to start initiating change now, and that's what's going to help initiate change for our kids, our grandchildren, and everybody in the future.
Economic empowerment, we all know that's an important thing because people listen when it comes to that.
One step at a time, man.
You got to take one step at a time, brother.
You know, if more of us is out there, more of us will relax.
More of us, when they see a cop, we got to stop teaching our kids, too.
Stop fearing the cops.
We got to stop teaching them, oh, you see the cops run.
That's hard to do when cops are shooting us, man.
That's very hard to do.
I ain't got to tell my kid.
I ain't got to teach my kid.
He sees it on television.
Yeah, and we act like we not out there now.
And all of these different talking points about economic empowerment and we got to do better.
We don't have to do better.
We're not the ones killing us.
Hello, who's this?
This is Linoki.
Linoki, tell them where you're at.
I am upset because I feel like there's not...
You sound like a Pokemon character, by the way.
I'm not.
Somebody caught you in Starbucks yesterday.
Every morning, so don't be mean to me.
Go ahead, mama.
Go ahead, we're listening.
But I'm upset because I feel like,
you know, we have no Martin Luther King
of our generation.
You know, everybody's afraid to actually step up.
Everybody's just trying to protest.
So we need some type of action.
By the way, y'all would have hated
Martin Luther King Jr. in this era.
Martin Luther King was very all lives matter.
Y'all wouldn't want to hear that right now.
Well, I do think we do definitely need more leaders.
Tell them why you're mad, and don't forget,
Keith Sweat will be joining us in a little bit.
Don't go anywhere.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
That was Designed a Panda.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
I'm really upset I missed the ESPYs last night, man.
But like I said, last night was board game night in the crib.
So we had a hot game of Candyland going and then Hello Kitty Bingo.
You missed the entire ESPYs?
I definitely missed the entire ESPYs.
Because they went on pretty late.
It was late and it was long.
And I want to tell parents out there, and not only parents, if you have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, put them in swimming lessons.
I seen an incident over the weekend where a young girl, she was like three years old.
She drowned.
The mom had two kids.
She watched one kid grab the other kid.
The other kid fell in the pool and drowned.
Teach your kids at a young age to learn how to swim.
The YMCA has cheap classes and sometimes free classes to teach kids how to swim. So definitely, if you can, teach your kids how to swim.
Yeah, you know how to swim?
You know I don't know how to swim.
Oh, boy.
But my brother does because my brother did take swimming lessons at the Y.
Yeah, me too.
My daughter's eight.
She's been swimming since she's been like three, but I'm still paranoid.
Yeah, me too.
I'd still be right there on her ass even though she can swim back and forth
through a pool like it's nothing.
But it gives her a chance if she does fall into a water or something does happen.
Is that weird that my brother got swimming lessons and I
didn't? There's a lot of things you didn't get as a child.
Yeah, your parents didn't really love you. Explains a lot.
Now you're out in L.A.
What are you doing in L.A.? So I'm out here
actually we have a Hennessy event tonight
but the reason I was out
yesterday I saw my girl Seven, Seven Streeter
we went out to eat and we had a
weird incident so the ESPYs were on in the restaurant where we were eating,
and there was a table next to us.
It was three older white ladies.
Somebody thought Seven was Venus Williams?
No, they did not.
So one of the ladies came over to the table,
and she's like, you people look so nice.
You people.
You people are so great.
You ladies must be sitting here. You ladies must be sitting here.
You girls must be sitting here waiting for some of the guys from the ESPYs to come in, aren't you?
Wow.
I'm not going to lie.
We were very offended.
Wow.
First of all, it's very weird to call, say, you people.
That is weird.
Because that always feels weird.
You people.
Like, what is you people?
And then she called us girls.
Hey, girls.
And then she kept calling,
girls, come on, girls.
We were like,
what is she talking about?
And then when she said
we were sitting there
waiting for the ESPYs
to be over
so we could meet some guys.
But you ain't checking, though.
You should have checked her immediately.
I'm offended that she thought
the ESPY players
would be checking for y'all.
You should have checked it, though. Yeah, you should have checked it. You should have said, look, you should have said, I'm an African. Well the ESPY players would be checking for y'all. You should have checked it over here.
You should have checked it.
You should have said, look, you should have said, I'm an African.
Well, you're not fully, but I'm half African-American.
I'm educated, and I got a good job.
I think it caught it.
We all looked at her like she was crazy.
And then when we looked at her like that, when she said the ESPY,
she thought we didn't even know.
Oh, bless your hearts.
Y'all don't even know what the ESPYs are.
Oh, she was sunning, y'all. What's wrong with y'all? Why was y'all so passive last night? Oh, no your hearts. Y'all don't even know what the SPs are. Oh, she was sunning, y'all.
What's wrong with y'all?
Why was y'all so passive last night?
Oh, no, no.
I mean, we had some words exchanged.
It didn't get too crazy.
But she was an older lady.
She was like 60-something years old.
And I think she was drunk.
And then they spilled a drink.
So you'd be like, what do you mean, you people?
Yeah, I said, you people.
And then I would have said, what are you doing for the Black Lives Matter movement?
I bet you she'd have paid for your food after that.
Now we got rumors on the way, E.
Yes, we are going to talk about Foxy Brown.
She has responded to being left out of the VH1 Hip Hop Honors.
And speaking of the ESPYs, we'll give you what Dwayne Wade had to say last night at the ESPYs along with LeBron.
And there's some more news about Memphis Bleak,
so you might need to hit him up again and ask him if this next story is true.
Oh, boy. 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.
Listen up. It's just in.
All the gossip. The rumor report.
With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The rumor report. With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, earlier in front page news, we played for you what Carmelo and Chris Paul said at the ESPYs last night.
Well, Dwayne Wade and LeBron also helped open up the show,
and they were talking about police brutality and violence against the police as well.
Here is what D. Wade had to say. The racial profiling has to stop.
The shoot to kill mentality has to stop. Not seeing the value of black and brown bodies
has to stop. But also the retaliation has to stop. The endless gun violence in places like Chicago, Dallas, not to mention Orlando, it has to stop.
Enough.
Enough is enough.
Now, as athletes, it's on us to challenge each other to do even more than what we already do in our own communities.
And the conversation cannot, as our schedules get busy again, it won't always be convenient.
It won't always be comfortable, but it is necessary.
I agree with all of that, but what's the plan of action?
And here is LeBron.
We all feel helpless and frustrated by the violence.
We do.
That's not acceptable.
It's time to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, what are we doing to create change?
It's not about being a role model.
It's not about our responsibilities
to the tradition of activism.
I know tonight we'll honor Muhammad Ali, the GOAT.
But to do his legacy any justice,
let's use this moment as a call to action
for all professional athletes to educate ourselves,
explore these issues, speak up, use our influence, and renounce all violence.
And most importantly, go back to our communities, invest our time, our resources, help rebuild them,
help strengthen them, help change them. We all have to do better. Thank you.
I agree with all that. But once again, what's the plan of action?
I mean, I think it's not just one plan of action.
There's a lot of things that people need to do.
I think that we just be putting too much responsibility
on ourselves, and we're not the ones out here killing us.
Like, I just don't understand that way
of thinking at all. Well, part of the way
to make change happen is financial
empowerment, is by boycotting. That's why they
say boycott, because that's what makes people
listen when you have that
type of power.
I mean, you still have to change the way people look at you.
And also starting our own businesses and being more powerful, keeping things in our community.
There's a lot of communities of people that the police don't like.
Where I live at, there's certain communities the police don't mess with you at all, period,
because they have all their own businesses that they own in their community.
So you're saying that police will not treat us a certain way based off our financial status?
I don't agree.
I don't agree with that at all.
I'm saying financial empowerment is important if you want to make real changes in government policies,
which could lead to changes in what happens with the police.
It's being involved in what's going on to make those changes.
I don't necessarily agree.
I think it's more you got to penalize.
When cops shoot somebody and they get life in prison,
then the next time a cop pulls somebody over,
they'll really think about shooting somebody.
But how do you change those laws?
I mean, you got to change the laws.
I see what you're saying.
You're saying you got to have power to press the government
in order for the government to make those kinds of changes.
And that's how you have that power.
You have to be able to make those changes and demand changes.
And part of demanding changes is hitting people in the pockets so you can get hurt
and have some power. I just
say that's part of it. I don't think that's all that has to be done.
I don't mind an economic protest. I don't know if it'll
work, but I don't mind that. I don't think we have
enough businesses to do that.
That is true. That's why I'm saying we
need to work on that. You know, if I say I'm not
going to go to... I'm not going to shop at this
store, but I don't have no black grocery store to go to.
What grocery store am I going to go to? You know, if I'm not going to go to this gas
station, what gas station am I going to go to? But that's why it's
an American issue, and like Martin Luther King Jr.
said, an injustice anywhere is a threat to
justice everywhere. That's why all Americans
need to be upset about
what's going on out here. It can't just be an
isolated black incident. Well, Charles Barkley
had some things to say as well. Now, he
called into the Dan Levitard
show, and here's what he said.
There's a lot of people at fault. The cops have made some mistakes. Black people have made some
mistakes. We have to sit back and be honest with each other. The cops have made some mistakes that
don't give us the right to riot and shoot cops. We need the cops, especially in the black community.
We as black people,
we've got to do better.
We never get mad when black people kill each other.
You can't demand respect
from white people and the cops
if we don't respect each other.
All right.
I don't agree with all of that.
At all, period.
I don't agree.
He's so crazy.
That's not necessarily true.
We do have to clean up a lot of things in our community, but those
are two different total situations.
Black on black crime and police... And what the cops are doing are not just
mistakes. Yeah, black on black crime and police
brutality are two different things.
Okay, let's just hypothetically say we don't know
no better, so we kill each other.
I expect the police to know better.
Okay? Period.
Alright, now let's discuss Foxy Brown.
We discussed on the show why wasn't Foxy Brown at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Tribute for Women,
the Queens of Hip Hop, why wasn't Lauryn Hill there?
You said why wasn't Iggy Azalea there?
I didn't say nothing but who said Iggy Azalea?
Yes, you did.
I was being funny.
We can be nice.
Nobody understands sarcasm no more.
I swear.
You was looking for Iggy, Iggy, Iggy.
Okay, yeah, sure.
But these are things that were said.
Okay.
Now, here is how Foxy Brown responded.
She said,
Thank you, beloveds.
And be clear, guys.
This is only in response to the overwhelming outcry from fans everywhere.
I awoke this morning to our fans across the world's trending outrage
at reality show network VH1's non-inclusion of Lauryn Hill and myself, Foxy Brown.
Anyone recognize whether the contribution big or small, I applaud.
Personally, I prefer being held to a much higher standard in my walk, but fans went ballistic.
The people have spoken.
We've been blessed to set the bar at its highest heights, most notably receiving the 2016 Historic Key to My City of Brooklyn.
And she said that's
this is VH1 after all.
And the only accolade that matters to me
is of the most high.
God bless her, but let's be clear.
Foxy Brown is not a first ballot
VH1 hip hop honoree.
Not a first, not first ballot.
She might get in next year or the next time
they do it, but she's not part of that first wave
They should have added Fox and Lauren Hill
She's in the studio perfecting her incredible return
I would have added Eve and MC Light over
Both of them
Lauren Hill got one album
We're going to stop acting like Miseducation and Lauren Hill
She was also in the Fugees
That one album pales in comparison
Her career with the Fugees And that one album Mised in comparison. She was in the Fugees. Okay, well, Fugees. Her career with the Fugees and that one album, Miseducation, pales in comparison to Lil' Tim's career.
And she had the live album also.
Queen Latifah's career.
Foxy Brown had.
Salt-N-Pepa's career.
The Firm album, if you want to say that.
And she had countless verses on Jay-Z's album, if you want to say Lauryn Hill.
But they should have added Foxy Eve and Lauryn Hill.
I agree.
I don't know about Lauryn and Foxy right now.
All right, well, that is your rumor report.
I'm Angela Yee.
And MC Lyte. All right, thank you'm Angela Yee. And MC Lyte.
All right, thank you, Mr. Yee.
Definitely MC Lyte.
Now, when we come back, Throwback Thursday.
Boy, tell your mama.
Your mama going to be moving around in the car this morning.
She's going to be shaking her little booty, you know what I'm saying?
She's going to be looking like she's got a little dampness in her drawers.
A little moist.
Okay, your mama, your grandma, your auntie them.
Because it's Throwback Thursday in the triple OG.
Keith Sweat is hell. That's right. All rightback Thursday and the triple OG Keith Sweat is here.
That's right.
All right, we're going to get Keith Sweat in the building
and also we'll do a Keith Sweat mini mix.
So let me know your favorite Keith Sweat joint.
All right, at DJ Envy, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That was Kit Jones, don't mind.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest, an OG in the building.
Triple OG, I guarantee this man has had sex with your mama.
Probably your grandma.
Probably both together.
Harlem's own.
Keith Sweat.
What up, what up, what up, what up?
How you doing?
And that's offensive because I know women my age that Keith Sweat has had sex with also.
All right, come on, baby.
I don't want nothing over money.
You say you don't want nothing old but money. You say you don't want nothing old but money.
That's true, though.
You still get a lot of young girls coming at you, Keith?
All the time, baby.
He said all the time.
Now, you started off as a stockbroker.
Right.
Explain that a little bit.
How'd you get into the stockbroker business and then go to music?
Well, you know, basically, you know, we all got to pay them bills.
So, I mean, it was something I enjoyed, something that I liked. But, you know, my true you know, we all got to pay them bills. So, I mean, it was something that I enjoyed, something that I liked.
But, you know, my true, true first love was music.
So, you know, once I got the opportunity to do the music thing, I jumped straight on into it.
Was Strictly Business about your life?
Because I just remember now, when I'm thinking about it.
Was Strictly Business a movie?
Yeah, with Tommy Davis.
He was a stockbroker, remember?
Oh, yeah.
And I was like, damn.
And at the same time, he swept.
Yeah, I mean, that was part of my life.
You know, I was in there doing, you know, medals.
I was in medals, copper, silver, you know, gold.
So, you know, once I would get out of that, you know,
which those hours was crazy at the time
because, you know what I'm saying,
the Stock Exchange was going crazy.
Right.
And after that, I would get out of there
and go into the studio and try to, you know,
make these hit records.
Now, was you singing on the floor
of the New York Stock Exchange?
Oh, hell yeah.
That was to the point where they was like,
man, I was the dude who showed up.
You know what I'm saying?
But I wasn't paying them no mind, man.
It was like, yo, man, yo, just take this
and let's do what we do and let me do what I do.
When did the big break happen
that you knew you could quit the stock market?
Oh, man, this is what, it was crazy
because I went in the studio
and I cut Don't Stop Your Love with Vincent Davis.
Don't stop your love.
Yeah, yeah.
And which everybody don't know, that was the record that got me the deal.
Before I knew it, I had an album, went with Teddy Riley, called Teddy,
like, yo, man, I got this album deal.
You know, let's do this album together.
And, you know, we in the studio knocking it out, and it's history now.
You was one of the first innovators of what they call the new jacks swing sound
yeah yeah you know mix that hip-hop with that R&B and that was it that's it was
that the plan back in the day that was the plan back in the day cuz you know I
was grew up listening to the old Jays Laverde and all of them you know it baby
face and you know I I wanted you know being from Harlem I wanted a little
something more edgier.
You know, so that's why I said, man, if we mix
these hip-hop beats with that
R&B, it's going to be a little more edgier
and it's going to be a little more street.
You know, we did it in that one. I'm sure the
influence of the street was huge back then because
Harlem was, at that time, was all about
hustling and selling
drugs. Keith is a street nigga, dog.
He got that
whole R&B persona.
We kicked it with Keith.
My whole perception of who
Keith Sweat was before that was
completely different. Yeah, I grew up
around Guy Fisher and all
them brothers, you know what I'm saying?
Those were brothers who was talking about
cutting people's legs off
and doing certain things to other people.
I said, all right, man, I need to get up out of here.
So that whole, that whole year, I'm from that whole, that whole era.
You know what I'm saying?
Where, you know, it was really going down back then, you know, but it was cool.
That came in handy later on in the music industry when people probably try to jerk you for money? It came in handy because, you know, I knew
who to mess with and people knew
not to mess with me for certain reasons because
of my associations and because of the people that
you know, like back in the
like now, you know, people know who to mess
with now and know who not to mess with.
How was your first contract?
My first contract was like everybody else
is whack.
You know what I'm saying?
But, you know, I've quickly learned, you know,
after my first deal to go ahead and take on my own thing.
I think I was one of the first people to have my own label
because I went and got my own label, put silk on the label,
cut clothes on the label, and I've never been in the red.
I was, you know, first album did $5 million, you know.
Second album did $3 or $4. But fortunately for me, unlike most artists,
I had written all my stuff and produced all my stuff, me and Teddy.
So all that publishing was mine.
All the producer money was mine.
So the second album, you know.
Then I built a studio in my house.
I was the first one to build an SSL board in my house
because I was like, yo, I'm not going to.
In Harlem?
No, I built it in Atlanta before everybody started moving to Atlanta.
Why'd you get out of Harlem?
Touring.
Once I did my tour and I started touring the country, I'm like, yo, man, I can make the
same kind of money and have just as big a house or bigger house.
Cost of living.
And the cost of living.
So what I did, I cut my cost of living real low.
And that's why I was able to outlast a lot of people because, you know, I was the first
one to look at, you know,
run my own business, and because of my background,
I knew what to do and how to do it.
And Lady's Ass is as fat as Atlanta, too, now.
Let's be clear.
I don't know about back then.
You crazy.
I mean, you know, I'm a New Yorker.
I'm a New Yorker 100%.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, honestly, I mean, everybody running to an ATL,
but I'm still, you know, New York.
You wrote a lot of hits people don't know about.
Like hit, hit, hit.
Hit records.
Hit records, you know, for real.
That when he tells you and you hear him, you be like, oh.
Damn, you wrote that, okay.
Like, you know, Just Got Paid with Teddy, you know, I wrote that.
Let's Chill with Teddy, I wrote that.
Freak Me, Freak Me, I wrote that for Silk. The whole Silk
first album I wrote. That was a classic album.
Yeah, I wrote my whole first album
with Teddy. Half of the LSG
album. Wrote for
Ron Isley,
Immature. Shoot, I just wrote
for everybody. OJs.
Who? OJs? OJs. Was it hard to give those
records away? Let's Chill.
Yeah, because you knew that was a record.
That's a big record.
Well, Let's Chill.
What happened with Let's Chill is, you know,
I actually was supposed to do Let's Chill in the New Jack City movie.
I was in the studio.
We cut Let's Chill, and then all of a sudden,
God was going to do the song.
You know what I'm saying?
Or what happened is, it just was not my song anymore
after me and Tay wrote it.
All right, to make a long story short,
so I had one day to do another song,
and I ran in the studio and wrote There You Go Telling Me No Again
in about two hours, and that's how that song ended up being in the movie
because that song don't have nothing to do about no wedding scene.
It's like, you know what I'm saying?
There You Go Telling Me No Again, but Let's Chill was the song
I was supposed to initially sing.
All right, we got more with Keith Sweat when we come back.
It's Throwback Thursday.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
That was Dope, Bryce, and Tilla.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's Throwback Thursday.
We got a special guest, Keith Sweat, hanging out with us.
Now, you made love songs.
You made party songs.
What do you think about R&B now?
I was, the other day,
I'm driving in listening to radio
and I'm listening to some
of the classic R&B.
I'm like, the songs don't have
that feeling anymore.
It's no more,
I want to make love to my girl.
It ain't no foreplay anymore.
Nah.
No foreplay.
Ain't nothing make you want
to take the condom off.
Yeah.
Nah, definitely not.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Sometimes, you know,
but nah, nah.
I mean, it's not what it used to be.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, it's not saying nothing.
You know, you listen to it and be like, man, what is it?
You know, why?
You know, that's the question you ask.
Why?
But why is that now?
People are still making love.
I mean, well, the point of the matter is, you know, I mean, it might be the production.
It might be who's producing.
It might be, you know what I'm saying?
They haven't experienced anything. So it might be the production. It might be who's producing. It might be, you know what I'm saying, they haven't experienced anything.
So it could be a number of reasons.
When I grew up, you know what I'm saying, I knew
what it was to romance a woman.
You know, so, you know, I knew, you know,
the women back in them days,
you know what I'm saying,
the women back in them days, you know,
they wanted to be romanced. Are you saying it was harder
to fuck back then, Keith? Oh, yeah, they wanted
to be romanced back in them days
and guys were more
chivalrous as well
now women
you know
no point
they just like
man you know
what you got
what you gonna give
me to get some of this
you know what I'm saying
that's basically
what it is
what you got
you know
you can get some
but men also have
short attention spans
now I feel like
some
because I feel like
social media has
changed a lot of that.
Oh, most definitely.
So much access to everything.
Oh, most definitely.
Most definitely.
It's just too easy.
I bet your Facebook popping, Keith.
You know, it's good.
You look at girls that you smashed before and then you look at them now and be like,
damn, did I really smash, huh?
A few.
Some.
A few. I mean, it's real. You know, sometimes, you few, some of them. A few.
I mean, it's real.
You know, sometimes, you know, you got to keep your game up.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, sometimes you be like, I know life has been hard, but baby, come on.
Sometimes you do that.
You really do that.
And then sometimes you be like, girl, you kept yourself up real well, you know?
So, I mean, it's just like a sister that might be dating a brother
and be like, man, I remember back in the day and say,
man, what happened to you?
You know, you got to keep your, you got to just keep it up right.
You got to make it right.
Now, what about artists today?
Nobody ever asked you like, hey, it'd be great if you could write some songs
for, I would think, because you wrote so many huge hit songs,
that you would kind of be a go-to person to get it, you know?
Well, the songs, I mean, I get asked to do a lot of remakes,
like I did the Chris Brown remake, Nobody, with Chris,
the Supreme record with Ross.
So, you know, I basically, people come and ask me
to just get on their record nowadays, you know,
in terms of they beg me to write,
but sometimes people don't think I'm interested in doing that.
You know, they have this thing, man,
Sweat ain't going to be interested in doing that, or Sweat ain they, they, they, they have this thing, man, sweat ain't gonna be interested
in doing that
or sweat ain't gonna be interested
in getting on my record,
which,
you know,
which I'll get on somebody's record
and won't even charge them.
You know what I'm saying?
That's where that reputation
come from though.
Well,
you know,
because they feel like,
you know,
because I'm an OG,
for some reason,
they had the feeling like,
yo,
I'm gonna have to pay them
a lot of money
to get on the record
or,
you know,
whatever,
you know,
you know,
sometimes I be like, man, I'll come in there and just do it on the strength.
Because it ain't like you need the money.
That ain't a bad reputation to have.
When people know you're still out here getting bread,
still making money.
It ain't a bad reputation to have.
It's a good reputation to have.
But like I said, I don't mind getting on somebody's joint
because that's what I love to do.
I love doing music.
I like a lot of artists that's out here. You know what I'm saying, that's what I love to do. I love doing music. I love, you know, I like, you know, a lot
of artists that's out here, you know what I'm saying?
You know, I love that new trap, trap soul
that people doing right now, you know
what I'm saying? I stay up on them, all that.
So you like Bryson Tiller? Oh, that's my, yo, he
dope. I think he dope, you know
what I'm saying? He don't show his face enough, though.
Yeah, he seem like he a little shy.
But he dope,
you know what I'm saying? And that might be good. You know what I'm saying? Because you don't want everybody to be acting the fool he dope, you know what I'm saying? And that might be good.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Because you don't want everybody to be acting the fool out here, you know what I'm saying?
He seemed like he's staying his lane, do what he got to do and stay in his lane.
He's an artist.
He wants to do his music, and he's not interested in just being in the spotlight.
But at least on stage back in the day, y'all used to take your shirts off, do pelvic thrusts at the girls,
stick your tongue out and bring them on stage.
I used to hump the stage, but I'm too old to be humping the stage now.
You know what I'm saying?
I still see some of my groups that I put out,
they like to still hump the stage.
I'll be like, man, you're too old to be humping the stage, man.
You know what I'm saying?
You're too old to be doing that, man.
Why don't you just keep your shirt on and, you know,
you're grown and sexy now, man.
Just keep it grown and sexy.
Let them young boys do all the humping and the grinding on the stage you know what i'm saying
can you see me laying on the floor
i might not be able to get my ass up like hold up yo help me up but you're still in good shape
yeah i'm in good shape i can hump the stage and get up.
You can hump a young girl.
You can hump the stage and get up.
I'm good.
Now, I wanted to ask you, Bobby Brown put out his autobiography, Being Bobby Brown.
And he told a lot of things in that book.
Did you read any of it or read about it?
I heard some of the things.
I didn't read.
I've seen, you know.
Man, it's amazing.
He talked about sleeping with Janet Jackson. He talks about, of course, his relationship with Whitney. I didn't read. I've seen, you know. Man, it's amazing. He talked about sleeping with Janet Jackson.
He talks about, of course, his relationship with Whitney.
He talks about Madonna.
Smashing Madonna in the bathroom.
He gives a lot of explicit detail.
And I do.
You asked me, could I do that?
That's what she's asking.
Yes.
Basically. You keep doing radio.
Basically.
Basically.
Basically.
Basically, you asked me, could I revive both.
Well, first I was going to ask you, people were very critical of him, though,
putting certain things out there like that.
Do you think it was tacky?
And then I was going to say, would you ever do?
Well, since Bob is my boy, I'm going to say it.
I couldn't do it.
I couldn't, honestly.
I mean, certain things.
To each his own.
I always say that, to each his own.
That's my man, and I'm never going to, you know, I don't care what, you know,
put him out to dry.
You know what I'm saying?
Because that's my man.
Like that.
So on that note, I couldn't do that.
I couldn't put certain things, or I wouldn't put certain things out about
certain people, about certain women.
I don't care what nobody paid me, because that's just the person I am.
You know what I mean?
I think when you do things behind closed doors,
it should be kept behind closed doors,
especially when it comes to when a woman feels like
she's basically sharing herself with you
and the thing that you're doing intimately and privately
for y'all too, only y'all too.
I just want you to know that line you just said
is going to get you so much...
Your Facebook inbox is going to be so crazy. Oh said gonna get you so much in your Facebook inbox.
Oh, he does mean it.
He's quite aware.
He's aware.
You know, so I think
certain things should be kept
behind closed doors.
Now, for me,
that's how I feel
but everybody is not like me.
So, I mean, I'm good.
You know what I'm saying?
What's your craziest tour story?
Because, I mean,
you've knocked down a lot of them.
I had a few of them.
I remember one time like I was humping the stage back
in the day when I was younger.
Humping the stage
back in the day, and my crew
set me up. So, you know,
they knew I would hump the stage and turn around
and go hump up, you know what I'm saying?
So when I was humping, I
turned around, and there was a girl standing over me
with nothing on, on top of me, was a girl standing over me with nothing on.
On top of me.
You know, that she had her legs open.
And when I looked up, I crawled from under.
Because my crew had set me up.
That's somebody's mama today.
I just want y'all to know that. That is somebody's mama.
Definitely.
Definitely.
And then, you know, this girl threw this big bra on my stage.
And I threw it back at her.
I said, yo, that's too big for me, baby.
Threw it right back at her.
All right.
We got Keith Sweat in the building.
Let's get into a Keith Sweat mini mix.
Let me know your favorite Keith Sweat joint,
800-585-1051 or at DJ Envy.
Keith Sweat's in the building.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That was a Keith Sweat mini mix.
Morning, everybody.
It's the Breakfast Club.
It's Throwback Thursday,
and Keith Sweat is in the building.
Now, Charlamagne?
You said back in the day women were harder to have sex
with. Is that where the begging style came
from in your music? People always
say you sound like you're begging in your records.
Yeah, they used to talk
about me begging, but I'm a bitch
begging now.
I'm glad
I started begging. A lot of people started begging
when I didn't beg when I was begging, but I'm sorry. They should have been begging. I'm glad I started begging. A lot of people started begging when I, you know, didn't beg when I was begging.
But, you know, I'm sorry.
They should have been begging.
I'm going to give them something, you know.
But anyway, and fellas used to always say to me, yo, man, thank you for last night.
The hell you talking about?
Thank you for last night.
What you mean?
I said, man, I put your joint on and it worked.
And I thought they, you know, people just want to tell you things.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, man, dude, my joint really work like that.
So I went overseas, for real, for real.
And I was trying to hit this girl, and she wouldn't give me nothing.
She's going to be like, baby, come on, I need you.
I need you tonight.
I'm leaving, going back to America tomorrow.
No, no, this was in London.
No, no, no, no.
There you go telling me no again.
No, no, no, no, no.
I started singing that nobody.
You say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
You started singing?
I started.
Hold up.
Hey.
Hold on.
Did you ask her to let me put the tip in first?
You just went right to singing? No, I started singing.
I ain't going to just put the tip in.
I want the whole thing if I was going to get it.
No tip. I was leaving the next day. What am I going to get? A tip? That wasn't going to do put a tip in. I want the whole thing if I was going to get it. No tip.
I was leaving the next day.
What, I'm going to get a tip?
That wasn't going to do nothing for me, man.
How many tips did you send to?
Yeah, how often did that happen?
How many tips did you send to?
A lot.
Oh, man, back in the day, once I found out, it really worked.
Hold on, so you didn't know your own song was really working?
Man, I didn't know that.
Keith, they work now.
They work now, but, you know, back in the day,
I was just trying to get money.
I didn't even care about, you know what I'm saying?
I wasn't even thinking about that like that.
But when I realized it working,
I knew I didn't have to, like, really do nothing but play.
You didn't have to sing?
I didn't have to play Babyface.
I didn't have to play Johnny.
I didn't have to play none of them.
I didn't put my own jointface. I didn't have to play Johnny. I didn't have to play none of them.
I can put my own joint on or either just sing one line.
I went to work, baby.
It didn't feel weird having sex to your own music?
Hell no.
Hell no.
You know why?
Because I didn't feel like there was just me.
There was nobody in the room but me and her.
And maybe my voice.
I didn't have to say a word.
Can you imagine?
You don't have to say nothing.
And the song was doing all the talking for you. You're just looking at her.
And at the time, you know, I like to do it.
Yeah, baby.
Yeah.
You know, on the songs, you know, I ain't had to say a word.
Now, is it hard for you, though, because you're an R&B singer,
so you make these records that are so big sexually.
Girls expect for you to be the best they ever had.
You can never have a bad performance.
You can't strike out.
Women think they got to just lay there,
hear their romances, do everything.
I'd be like, I was tired, girl.
I was in the studio last night.
I'll catch you on the day.
I'll catch you next time around.
I mean, you know, I mean,
nah, fellas, come on.
Sometimes we just had those moments. Come on, I ain't gonna lie. You know, we mean, my fellas, come on.
Sometime we just had those moments.
Come on, I ain't gonna lie.
You know, we not gonna talk about the blind girl.
And like when we was in Atlanta.
I keep thinking about that situation.
You know what I'm saying?
You gotta tell them now.
You gotta tell them about the blind girl. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let me tell you, you know, everybody watching this, man,
when we was in Atlanta, that's your boy.
Wax.
Wax.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wax was talking about the best sex he ever had
was with a blind girl.
Yeah.
Because he said, because all the senses.
Wax is crazy.
Go to the one spot.
And I was like, like man you out your mind
And he said for real
For real
It just go to the one spot
And I was like man are you crazy
He said man you gotta try
I said no I'm not gonna try
You ain't tried yet?
Nah nah I could take his word for it
Nah nah LSG they started the trend of artists
Coming together to form super groups But you know I mean Everybody didn't for it. I could take his word. Now, LSG, they started the trend of artists coming together to form supergroups.
Well, you know, I mean, everybody didn't think it was going to work.
I'm the one that put the LSG project together.
I was cursed out by the record company, honestly, when I thought about doing LSG.
Why?
Because, you know, I had just came off the Nobody album.
You know what I'm saying?
That's so for me.
And so the label just wanted me to go ahead and do another Keith Sweat record.
And, you know, me and Gerald LeBert was boys and, you know, me and Johnny was boys.
And actually R. Kelly was supposed to be in through the LSG project as well.
Really?
Yeah, Rob.
Like LSGK or something?
It was supposed to be called something like that, LSGK, something like that.
And it was just supposed to be for, you know, R&B artists getting together.
You know, we was just going, you know r&b artists getting together part you know we was just going you know it was a power move you know and uh at the last minute he chose not to do it
you know his manager you know told him he didn't need to do it whatever so he pulled out and i told
him it would still work because you know at the time you know my that album i had did to nobody
twisted i did four million i said we can just go ahead and, you know, and capitalize off that album.
So I'm on some business tip now, and I'm saying,
yo, if I do LSD, that's a check.
Then I can come back and do another Keith Sweat album.
That's another check.
So I'm thinking like that.
You glad you did it, though, especially being in the Gerald class?
Almost definitely.
Most definitely, because, you know,
Gerald had never gone platinum.
That was his first platinum album ever.
So, you know, he used to always thank me because he used to say, man, my brother, you know, Gerald had never gone platinum. That was his first platinum album ever. So, you know, he used to always thank me because he used to say,
man, my brother, you know, without you, he had never got MTV
because at the time MTV was that thing.
You know what I'm saying?
Once you hit MTV and got on MTV, you was that man back then.
You know what I'm saying?
So he had never got on MTV, and he thanked me for that
and going platinum because that was his first platinum album ever.
Damn, I never thought about that.
That's kind of like when players get together now to get a ring.
There you go.
Yeah.
So we thought about it like that.
That's the same.
You a bad boy, you know.
I'm like, yo, you know, I have to watch y'all sometimes.
You have a lot of streams of income because touring,
then of course you have your annual event that you do,
and you have the nationally syndicated show.
Oh, yeah.
Sweat Hotel.
Sweat, baby.
How'd you get into radio?
What got you into radio?
You know Doc Winters, man.
You know Doc Winters.
I've never heard of him.
Doc Winters.
Who's Doc Winters?
Y'all, okay.
You know who Doc Winters is.
Who's the OG Doc Winters?
Triple OG Doc Winters.
Yeah, yeah, you know what happened is, you know, Doc called me up.
He said, man, you know, you ever thought about doing radio?
I said, man, I think about it all the time, how those checks looking.
He said, man, they look good.
You can make a lot of money.
I said, well, I need to be doing radio.
So basically I started in eight markets, you know, as a trial run.
Started in eight.
That's crazy.
It just started picking up from there.
Now I'm in about 60,
you know what I'm saying?
So, you know,
at night,
number one syndicated
nighttime radio show, baby.
You got a new album
coming out on your birthday.
Yeah, don't ask me

Don't know, man.
Come on, man.
Pull up his net worth.
Pull up his net worth.
Pull up his net worth, man.
Come on, man.
Celebrity net worth.
I was going to ask you.
No, I'll do that now. Man, I don't want to do that. Come on, they don't know all that, man. Come on, man. Celebrity Net Worth. I was going to ask you. No, I'll do that now.
Man, I don't want to do that.
Come on.
They don't know.
I'm like, man, come on, baby.
Tell us about the new album.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
I knew y'all was going to start some shit sooner or later.
You know what I'm saying?
Celebrity Net Worth.
Come on, put some respect on your name, Pete.
I'll just say that.
I changed my mind.
Come on, baby.
Come on, now. Come on now.
July 22nd.
Is that right?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Let's go to that.
Why are you flustered now?
Just follow me.
Don't worry about it.
Y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all.
See?
See, this is what y'all do.
You know what I'm saying?
Y'all don't need no ratings on me, damn it.
I'll just keep this to myself.
Keep some respect on my name.
Let me make me some T-shirts that say that.
This can't be right, because I already know his salary alone is way...
See, they got me down there for what?
$250,000.
Yeah, right.
That's why I laugh.
You can't relate to none of that.
He got that on in here right now.
Thank you. I mean, you know, in my syndicated show, I make more than that. Tell him that. You got to none of that. He got that on in here right now. Thank you.
I mean, you know, in my syndicated show, I make more than that.
Don't tell him that.
You got royalties.
Don't talk that into them.
And you're still tall.
I know better than come on, man.
But anyway, but anyway.
But yeah, I'm worth only that.
IRS might be watching anyway.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Keep me at $250,000 all day long.
Tax on $250,000 is maybe $50,000.
You know what I'm saying?
So keep me right at that.
But anyway, go ahead.
Let's talk about this Dressed to Impress album.
Tell me about the new album, man.
Dressed to Impress.
You know.
Y'all got to fluster that.
It cost me more than 250 to do the Dressed to Impress album, man.
But anyway, now you got me.
Man, I don't even know what to say no more.
I'm mad as hell.
Who we call to change that, dog?
You're putting up with my $5 million.
That's fine.
I'm cool on $5 million.
Damn it.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, OG has joined us.
Triple OG keeps sweating.
I feel like we need him way more time next time you come back up.
Thank you, thank you.
And I'm glad y'all didn't put me through the wrangler
like I be seeing y'all put so many people.
Thank you.
I'm glad y'all like me, man.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want y'all to love me.
It's like, yeah, I love you.
After we met you, we were talking about you like,
yo, Keith Swank is the coolest person ever.
Just not even what we anticipated.
Thank you, thank you.
We don't want to talk about all the people you told me you beat up.
Man, don't worry about it. We good. Y'all playing Christmas out there. Thank you. Thank you. We're going to talk about all the people you told me you beat up and... Man, don't worry about it.
We good.
We good.
And the R&B singers,
you pull guns on
and stuff like that.
Stop, stop, stop.
We good.
We good.
See, they start to stuff,
y'all.
Y'all, I know it.
I'm looking around.
The Breakfast Club
is keep sweating.
Yo. The Breakfast Club is keep sweating.
Yo.
The Breakfast Club. you you you you you you you you you you you We'll be right back. It's the Breakfast Club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? All right.
Just got reminded that it's National Nudity Day,
courtesy of Elvis Duran and the Elvis Duran Show.
I should not know what Greg T's penis looks like.
So well, too, from last year to this year.
I remember it.
Yeah.
All right.
How does it taste?
Donkey of the day for Thursday, July 14th,
goes to Charles Sir Contradiction Barkley.
Now, we all contradict ourselves at times.
It's life. It happens.
Some of us change our minds and stances on things
and don't tell anybody,
so it looks like we contradicted ourselves
when actually we just had a change of heart.
But Charles Barkley is not one of those people.
Now, Charles Barkley was on Dan Levitard's show the other day
and in response to last week's shootings of black men by police and the attack that left five officers dead in
Dallas, Charles Barkley decided to victim blame and say that black people got to do better. Let's
hear it. There's a lot of people at fault. The cops have made some mistakes. Black people have
made some mistakes. We have to sit back and be honest with each other. The cops have made some mistakes. We have to sit back and be honest with each other.
The cops have made some mistakes that don't give us the right to riot and shoot cops.
We need the cops, especially in the black community.
We as black people, we've got to do better.
We never get mad when black people kill each other.
You can't demand respect from white people and the cops if we don't respect each other.
Okay. Now, I do agree. I, me speaking, have kind of accepted us killing each other as the norm, but that doesn't mean I don't care.
Of course I care. Of course I'm vocal about it.
We may not come off as outraged as when cops kill civilians because because once again, it is something I have become numb to
because it's kind of the norm.
I'm only speaking for me.
You know, I am desensitized to us killing us,
but to say we don't get mad when blacks kill each other
is just absolutely untrue.
Okay, furthermore, if somebody got on TV and said that
we can't complain about ISIS killing Americans
because Americans kill each other,
they would be fired.
Okay.
They would get so blackballed and slandered in the media.
But that's what this whole logic about black on black crime is.
We can't complain about cops killing us because we kill each other.
Like, no, nobody in America says we need to fix ourselves.
So ISIS doesn't bomb us.
Like the logic makes no sense.
Okay.
Black on black crime, police killing civilians, two completely different issues, and we can talk about them separately.
All we can talk about them all at once.
Just don't talk like one justifies the other.
Now, Charles Barkley also made some comments on Dan Levitard's show
about Draymond Green.
See, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors,
the dark-skinned, flasked cousin, was arrested and charged
with misdemeanor assault and battery after allegedly slapping Jermaine Edmondson, a senior cornerback, right?
He plays cornerback, right?
For the Michigan State Spartans.
Let's hear what Charles Barkley had to say about that situation.
When you heard the story about Draymond Green being arrested outside of a bar at 2.20 in the morning
for slapping a heckling fan, what did you think?
Good for Draymond Green.
These people, y'all, you and these other idiots in the press,
have given these fools powers to tweet,
say anything they want to about these professional players.
You know, I don't do any social media whatsoever,
but you're ilk, Dan.
You reporters, y'all read these fools' tweets.
Y'all make them feel like their opinion is important.
Their opinion is important.
It's just not important to me.
But y'all have given these fans a voice where they think they can disrespect these players
because of the amount of money they make and things like that.
So more power to Draymond for slapping the hell out of that kid, whoever he was.
Now, Charles.
Wow.
Charles Sir Contradiction Barkley.
You just said on the same show that black people need to do better,
that we can't expect no one to respect us until we start respecting ourselves.
You just condemned black-on-black crime and said nobody gets mad about it,
but in the same breath, you are praising Draymond Green
for slapping the hell out of another black man.
You specifically said more power to Draymond for slapping the hell out that kid.
I'm confused. Is it black people need to do better, Charles, oraymond for slapping the hell out that kid. I'm confused.
Is it black people need to do better, Charles,
or black athletes need to slap the hell out of people?
This selective humanity in America is disgusting.
Okay?
I'm all for freedom of speech.
Everybody's entitled to their opinion,
even if I think what that person is saying is complete BS.
But let's at least be consistent with the BS.
I can respect the person that is consistent with their BS,
but, you know, Charles totally contradicted himself in the span of one phone call.
Selective humanity is at an all-time high in America, ladies and gentlemen.
Please give Charles Sir Contradiction Barkley the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw. Hee-haw.
I just don't understand, man, why people have such selective humanity, man.
Right.
I don't get it.
You just condemn black-on-black crime, man, but in the same breath,
you gave Draymond Green props for slapping the hell out of another black man, man.
You just avoided anything that you could have said.
I don't get it.
I don't even understand the logic here.
Makes no sense.
I don't know.
All right, now, when we come back, we have a special guest joining us.
I don't want no more special guests today
Last special guest we had
Is he naked?
Came in here and got naked
It's national nudity today
Nobody's big
Oh alright Envy
You better jump on that
I'm married
Yeah
Too bad you're not here
You're Charlemagne
I'm married sir
He's from the Golden State Warriors
Okay
Andre
Charlemagne about to trap one.
Now, I don't want to say his name, his last name wrong.
Andre Iguodala.
Is it Iguodala?
Iguodala.
Iggy.
We'll say Iggy.
Andre Iggy from the Golden State Warriors.
I don't know.
I think it's an insult to call another grown man Iggy at this point in time.
Yeah, maybe it is.
Now, he's from the Golden State Warriors.
Now, LeBron James did an amazing block on a player.
He was the player.
He was the one that got blocked.
I think it was game, what, six or game five?
It was game seven.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Because he did a dope block.
No, that was against Steph Curry.
It was game seven.
It was game seven.
It was a block that wasn't a game for them.
I mean, Kyrie's three won the game, but the block started.
The block was the cause.
Right.
Well, we'll kick it with him when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
That was Drake Controller.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, the man who cost the Golden State Warriors their second championship.
If you'd have just dunked the ball instead of trying to lay it up,
y'all would have won that game.
There's always somebody who don't play ball.
He can't play ball for nothing.
Nothing.
That's the worst.
I didn't have no back that game.
First of all, tell them who's here.
I can't pronounce his last name.
Andre Iguodala.
Is it Iguodala or Iguodala?
Iguodala.
You just said the same thing twice.
My mom says it one way.
My dad, he would say it another way.
My dad, it's his name.
So he should know, right?
I would call you Iggy, but I don't know if that's an insult nowadays.
I don't like that, but I mean.
He used to be the most famous Iggy until Azalea came.
So I don't know.
I don't want to call you Iggy.
I don't know.
You don't like Iggy?
I never liked it.
I've been called that since a kid.
Oh.
I thought he said he don't like Iggy Azalea when you said you don't like Iggy.
No, no, no.
I just don't like that name.
I've just been getting called that my whole life.
Now, of course, you played for the Golden State Warriors.
Right.
Lost this year to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Yeah.
Your back hurt.
That's why you didn't dunk it.
No, I'm all right.
I was all right.
It was cool.
Now, Charlamagne believed y'all was going to win.
I don't know if you listened to the show.
I picked in five.
He picked y'all in five.
Before the series started.
A lot of people thought that.
And I had Cleveland in seven.
And when y'all was up 3-1, I was talking match.
Yeah.
He might have jinxed you.
It was a turn of events.
So what turned?
What happened?
The NBA's rigged.
Ayesha Curry even said it.
Gotta feed my family.
No, I mean, they just got the momentum.
Everything happened for a reason.
They deserved to win.
I was happy for them, whatever.
You tweeted immediately.
You win.
It's your time to win.
You can't do nothing different. You live and learn. We was happy for them, whatever, you know. You tweeted immediately. You win, it's your time to win. You can't do nothing different.
You know,
you live and learn.
We made some moves,
we made some great moves,
so try to get one next year.
You all did some great moves
this year.
How did it feel
when LeBron blocked
your shot, though?
Because that last two minutes,
it looked like a heavyweight fight
with both players.
Everybody was tired
and whoever scored first
was going to win.
And I'm like,
oh shoot,
he got an easy layup.
He ran your ass down.
And then, whoa!
That's what he does a lot, though.
It was like, you can get mad at certain plays.
Like, man, I shouldn't have turned it over.
Or I could have made this.
When you just got unbelievable human beings doing some crazy freakish
athletic stuff.
Yeah, that was supernatural.
What you going to do?
But that's why the game is great.
You know, when LeBron's getting calls in the game,
I joke with him and say it's cool.
You know, you pay a lot of our bills, so appreciate you.
Did you cry?
No, I didn't cry, actually.
I was upset at our team for letting it get to game seven.
So, you know, Kyrie, y'all take a lot of credit away from Kyrie Irving.
Y'all take a lot of credit from him.
What did I say?
No, no, Kyrie was busted.
They don't win that series without Kyrie.
They take a lot of credit away from Kyrie.
I mean, LeBron, top five greatest players of all time.
Nobody's near Michael Jordan. Stop arguing about that. There yourie. They took a lot of credit away from Kyrie. I mean, LeBron, top five greatest players of all time. Nobody's near Michael Jordan.
Stop arguing about that.
There you go.
Tell the truth one time.
Stop arguing.
Andre.
But Kyrie was a monster.
Kyrie was a monster.
Now, Steph Curry, now, explain this shot, his jumper.
I'm sure you played basketball every level.
That's a bad shot if it misses the way he shoots.
It's not natural.
That shot just looks crazy.
But MJ had a fadeaway that nobody could stop,
and you could say that's a bad shot.
Because if anybody shoots it besides Michael Jordan,
every coach I've ever been to says,
stop shooting that fadeaway.
He had a go-to move.
The way he shoots, because they teach you to shoot,
you shoot at your arc, right?
You shoot at your highest point.
He's kind of got a push shot.
No one knows that.
He pushes as he's going up. Yeah, he's got a push shot. No one knows that. But he pushes as he's going up.
Yeah, he's got a push shot.
But, I mean, he's been watching professional shooting.
He's shooting with a professional from age two.
Earlier.
Hey, man, Klay.
Yeah.
Klay has a different type of shot.
Klay has a real jump shot.
Right.
Steph just has something that is freakishly just phenomenal.
He can shoot off the dribble.
He can shoot off the run.
He can shoot off the move.
Was he hurt in the finals?
He was hurt, wasn't he?
Everybody's hurt.
I can't use that excuse.
Everybody's got bruised up a little bit.
He's got to play through it.
When he shoots some of those shots, do y'all ever look at him a little crazy?
Because it seems like y'all look at him a little crazy sometimes.
Then when he goes in, be like, ah, all right.
Even the coach looked at him sometimes.
Like, what is he doing?
Yeah, it's kind of like you get used to it, you know.
But he's maturing.
That's what I learned about certain guys.
They got to mature.
But he's maturing, and if he shoots a bad shot and he misses,
it'll be like my bad.
Whereas before, he's just so oblivious that he's just in his own world.
He'll just keep shooting.
But that shows a sign of maturity, and that's why we won it the year before.
This year we got, you know, one shot away.
And this year y'all cheated and got Kevin Durant.
Y'all added a performance-enhancing drug to the roster.
Okay?
A weapon of mass destruction.
Tell us about that,
because that might hurt your playing time a little bit.
No, it ain't going to hurt my playing time at all.
He comes off the bench.
He's a six-man.
They keep my minutes down just for longevity purposes.
So I'm good.
I played with KD in 2012 Olympics, 2010 World Championships.
We started together. Played a lot of minutes together. I'm a basketball player, so it don't matter. I'm going. I played with KD in 2012 Olympics, 2010 World Championships. We started together.
Played a lot of minutes together.
I'm a basketball player, so it don't matter.
I'm going to be out there.
I'm going to do what I need to do.
I know this may be a strange question, and you probably can't answer it,
but do you think it's overkill?
You're like, all right, come on now.
We don't need KD.
Who's your competition?
Who's your guys' competition?
We don't really have any.
But if it was, it was like, why not merge and just corner the market?
You know what I'm saying?
We kind of did that when we got Angie Martinez.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or the station.
Yeah, absolutely.
Right.
So you would never turn that down.
So it's crazy to just the best talent, the most talented person, one of the most talented
human beings in the world right now.
Why wouldn't you take her?
Why wouldn't you put together the best team that you could possibly?
Yeah, because people are always upset.
Like, why would you go join them?
And it's like, why wouldn't you? Because they almost beat y'all. They had y'all. What are you could pass? Yeah, because people are always upset. Like, why would you go join them? And it's like, why wouldn't you?
Because they almost beat y'all. They had
y'all. What are you talking about? Well, now that we got KD,
I can say it. They were the best team last
year in the playoffs. They were. They had y'all
last year. They were better than us. They were better than Cleveland.
In the playoffs. In the playoffs. Yeah, not a regular season.
They were the best team in the playoffs. Yeah.
They should have won a championship. So why didn't they?
I mean, we just hawked them down.
But they were better than us. They played us better than anybody.
They played us better than Cleveland.
They played us like they had our number.
Some of the stuff they was doing was like, oh, man,
we got to play perfect to beat them.
You know y'all can't lose a game next year.
Y'all went 73-9.
Every time y'all lose a game, you're getting Michael Jordan crying face memes.
For sure.
The whole team.
For sure.
But that's what's going to help us win.
I hope we lose a little bit.
It'll humble us.
It'll keep us where we need to be.
Because you can kind of get ahead of yourself,
especially as a day and age.
Social media, different type of players than it was in the 90s.
More fragile.
So, it's good to have.
Did y'all take it serious?
Because y'all were blowing teams by 30, 40 by half.
Like, it was disrespectful.
No, because it's funny.
The teams that we were supposed to beat,
or the teams that were, like, good matchups with us,
we were blowing them out. But like, Milwaukee
almost beat us twice. Philly almost beat us twice.
Philly? Philly almost beat us twice.
You don't know that. The NBA
is just, you got a lot of good players, you got a lot
of talent, and everybody's coming in trying to beat
us every single night. So guys is just like,
that's the only game they marking on their calendar.
You know, like this one guy killed
us every time we played him. I won't say his name.
Every time we played him, he killed us.
The player?
This player, he had like 20 on him.
Give us some props, Andre.
You got a ring already and a finals MVP.
But he was terrible the other 78 games.
You know what I mean?
Okay, and somebody on Milwaukee, I'm sure.
It wasn't Milwaukee.
It was Philly.
The other 78 games.
It was horrible.
It was in the West because we played them four times.
Right.
But that's just how the NBA works.
Like, you got guys who, they're very talented, and they'll show it against you, but then
they just...
Who are you talking about, Q?
Nah, he won't know.
Nobody will know.
Nobody knows.
Are y'all nervous about the New York Knicks, man?
Man, shut up.
I like the Knicks moves, though.
I like Derrick Rose.
If everybody's healthy, they could be a problem.
I like Derrick Rose because he gets a fresh start.
He can just play ball. Very talented. Big fan of
Porzingis. And then Melo's Melo. Melo's
one of the hardest guys to guard. So I think Melo's
going to have a good year too. Alright, we got more
with Andre Iguodala when we come back
from the Golden State Warriors. Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
That was
Missy Elliott with Work It. Morning everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club.
From the Golden State Warriors, we have Andre Iguodala in the building.
I heard you invest in, like, tech stocks a lot.
Obviously, I'm in that space, Silicon Valley.
It's funny because I'm having a tech summit next week with the NBA Players Association,
so all current and former NBA players are coming to the Silicon Valley,
and we're going to look at a couple companies.
We're going to visit a couple of venture capitalists,
crash course in how to invest in tech companies,
no matter if it's early round stages or later at the IPOs.
And, you know, you hear a lot of horror stories about athletes
and blowing a lot of their money.
They say blowing a lot of money.
And it's funny, I was on CNBC yesterday on Squawk Box,
and the lady was like, you know, these guys are blowing their money.
And I had to correct her.
It's not blowing your money if you never had any financial literacy or you never had
any education on how to actually have money.
As a union, I'm on the board and that's something we were focusing on.
You know, how do we get guys to really understand how to handle their finances and how not to
squander it and not let people take advantage of you.
But it sounds easy.
I guess I have to take it there.
If anybody watches Game of Thrones,
who's got...
Who's got Theron, or they cut
his stuff off, and then they had his brain messed up.
His penis? Right.
He was messed up for about two years, right?
That happens if you get your penis cut off. Right. So I was having
this conversation with a good friend of mine, and we were just discussing
What about getting penises cut off? No, not that,
but we were having a discussion about
African Americans and where our brains have gone gone and how we've kind of lost touch
with our original selves because of the systems that we're in.
True.
And then we see some of the shootings, and we see how we're reacting to them,
and it's like we tell our people don't react with violence
because I really believe that's what they want.
But that's human nature as well.
It's human nature.
Self-preservation.
Right, but if you look at some other cultures, what do they do?
They unite, and they hit them where it hurts, which is in the pockets and wealth.
And we got to take our wealth back.
But we don't know how to do that because we've been in this system for 400 years.
We've been oppressed.
And we don't own anything.
We don't own anything.
It's easy for Jewish people and Asian people to say we're going to boycott other people
because we got our own stuff in our community.
And we don't own as much.
We don't own as much.
But it's up to us to take our ownership back.
Our generation has to make
a sacrifice for the next generation.
And that's the hardest part, because we're
a sacrifice, meaning we got to do without. And we know
we like doing with. You know, you got an AP on,
I got an AP on. We like doing with.
You know what I'm saying? So, huge, large
community of fans look up to us.
We have a little bit of, I shouldn't say power,
but we have an influence. And if we
can put our influence together in the right areas,
and tech is the area where I want to have a major influence for all athletes,
not just basketball players, I think we can make a huge difference.
We can disrupt, which is what technology is.
So basically you want to just crack people with another Pokemon Go app,
is what you're telling me.
I just found out what that was yesterday.
They always say that if you want to be rich,
it is the best thing to do is to get involved with tech,
because that's always something that a lot of the richest people in the world, the reason that they're rich is because of technology.
Not in agriculture.
All the new billionaires are coming from tech.
Yeah, but it was disruption.
And it's basically taking out the middleman.
It's funny.
I did this thing for Verizon.
And Verizon has this new thing where they're trying to get kids, especially urban kids, black kids, African-American kids, into tech.
Trying to get them out of a lot of the fields because there's not too many of us in tech.
And Google's doing that as well.
And Verizon is doing that heavy.
What I meant to ask, you talked about sacrificing.
People have been talking about what's been going on in the community and having athletes possibly protest and boycott the NBA and boycott playing.
Did y'all ever think about doing that or is that something that you think about it at all?
I've had discussions with certain people, movie directors with some
influence from the Bay who I'm
really close with. We've had those discussions
and that's a tough
situation because
you don't know everyone's
take on it. You still want to provide
for your family. So
if you're going to try to do something, first of all,
you've got to have everybody involved.
You can't just be one guy
and you're trying to make a stance.
They just get rid of you and replace you.
Bigger Dallas boycotting. Okay.
You know what I mean?
I think there's other ways of doing it besides
boycotting a basketball game.
I believe not every athlete is obligated
to make a stance
or have a say on something.
Just because of their popularity, they try to put pressure on the superstars
like Steph and LeBron.
You have to make a stance on this.
Steph's from Charlotte, and they tried to make him make a statement
about the trans laws and where he's from, his home.
And it's like, why should he have to have an opinion about that?
Because it's a lose-lose situation for him no matter which way he goes
now according to TMZ you said you didn't want
your daughter to play basketball
because she was a lesbian
you don't want her to be a lesbian
I'm like what is he going to ask me
that's going to try to get me
but I never said that, that's what's funny
with the media
he said the media will take the truth out of anything
to make a story nobody Yeah, nobody cares about the
truth in the lives of more entertainers. So you didn't say
you don't want your daughter in a WNBA because she'll be a lesbian.
Yeah, I would never say that. I'm friends with a lot of
WNBA players. It's funny because my son
watches the WNBA. Really?
Shout out to our girl Swing Cash. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My son watches WNBA, so he knows all the girls.
He knows Maya Moore. I'm friends with
Angel McCodry, who plays in Atlanta.
So I know all those girls.
But it's safe to say.
Simone Augustus.
It's safe to say that a lot of WNBA players are lesbians.
I'm going to tell you what a WNBA player told me once.
She said WNBA players like to be lesbians,
and they like to get straight and find Jesus.
I wouldn't know that.
And that's a very broad blanket statement.
That's what you said to me.
Clearly, they're not all.
That's not true.
I didn't say all.
I said a good portion.
No, because it's like saying that all athletes are loading money, buying cars, buying big
houses, taking care of their own family.
That sounds pretty accurate to me.
You ain't told a lie yet.
What lie have you told?
That's so close.
But if my daughter wanted to play basketball, she'd be really good at basketball.
She's girly, though.
She doesn't like sports at all.
Trying to get her to play golf.
And you know she could be a lesbian regardless of what sport she plays.
Yeah.
It's mean there's golfers
who are lesbians.
Really?
I read that in an article
from a female.
No.
If anybody wants to find that,
it's in Golf Digest.
It's the last issue
about caddies dating golfers.
Now what's this money philosophy
you got that you summed up
with an analogy of a crack phone?
This is going to be
the last question
because you got to go.
Yeah, I got...
Well, you got to go in any basketball
season. I got a cracked
phone and they asked me why I was going to replace it and I'm like
I'm not buying another phone because
the phone still works. You could at least put a case on it.
It was only $100 to go fix the glass.
The phone was actually free, I'm not going to lie.
Oh my gosh, okay.
I'm just not going to give you my money
for a phone. There's just some things I don't want to pay for.
But I have advice. I got a watch on. I don't need the watch to cost this much to tell me the time. But I'm just not going to give you my money for a phone. There's just some things I don't want to pay for. But I have advice. I got a watch on.
I don't need the watch to cost this much to tell me the time.
But I'm into watches.
I'm really into watches.
I'm into time pieces and the hours put in it, the intricacies, the jewels put in it.
But as far as a phone goes.
You should at least put a case on it.
That would have never happened.
No, it never would have happened.
Yeah, just buy a case.
I don't believe in paying for apps either.
So if an app costs, I won't download it.
I'm the same way.
So how are you going to be in tech, but you don't want to pay for apps?
Because you want other people to pay for your apps?
Because you got in-app purchases.
Right.
No.
So it evens out.
If it's an app like E-Trade, where I make trades, okay, I'm obviously going to buy that.
All right.
Or if it's an app where I can take care of my finances.
But you're not going to pay for a Pokemon Go.
I'm not going to pay for a game on my phone.
That's all I'm saying.
We appreciate you joining us.
I know you got to go.
Right.
Now, you modeling up here?
That's what you're doing now?
No, I'm modeling.
I do have a collection
I did with a brand,
Rochambe Bro.
So we did some tech-inspired,
NBA dress code-inspired
line of clothing
where it's fashion forward,
but it's also comfortable.
Isn't the dress code
whack, though, for the NBA?
Didn't you miss the days
when Iverson used to come
with 32 chains on?
You love Russell
Westbrook's closet.
I like Russell
Westbrook's closet
for Russell Westbrook.
What about Dwayne Wade?
Dwayne Wade got a closet too.
Dwayne Wade,
that's my guy too.
What about your guy
that just joined the Cowboys?
He got a closet too.
Ezekiel?
Yeah, he got a closet too.
Yeah, full of half shirts.
Listen, one last question before you go.
This tweet that you deleted, it said...
I deleted the tweet?
Yeah, it said, Aisha Curry's food is really trash, and then you deleted it.
He did not write that.
Shut up.
That's not true?
You didn't put that?
Don't listen to him.
Aisha Curry can really cook.
He made that up.
I'm not allowed to say that.
My wife don't like when I compliment her.
Oh, okay.
Got you.
There you have it.
All right.
The man who should have dumped it,
but his back was hurt. And LeBron James
cleaned it up. Definitely cleaned it up.
At least you got blocked by LeBron James. If it was
Tristan Thompson or somebody, we'd have to clown you, but it was LeBron.
You got got before.
No, I got punched in the back of the head.
Yeah, that is like a blocked shot.
Oh, yes!
Yes!
Yes, that's true.
Andre Guadalla, ladies and gentlemen. It, that's true. Andre Guadagla, ladies and gentlemen.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela.
Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
All right, well, Memphis Bleak, we told you yesterday
there's a story out that he had to file for bankruptcy
and that he only has $100.
Now, you hit up Memphis Bleak.
Envy, what did he say?
He said that story was fake,
and he's trying to figure out where that story's coming from.
All right, well, now there's another story on Bossip,
and they are saying that his house is about to be auctioned off.
Now, allegedly, they're saying that he filed for bankruptcy to try to keep the house.
The bank adjourned the home auction while he works to settle the debts.
But if the bank successfully gets his debt repayment plan dismissed, then the home sale will go through.
Why doesn't Bossip just reach out to Bleak?
They said they did reach out to him, it says, and there was no response.
I mean, I...
They may not have his number.
And not only that, you know, Bleak, Bleak don't seem the type to acknowledge a lie.
You know what I mean?
If it's not true, why acknowledge it?
Right.
So, yeah.
I mean, you know what?
And I was talking about this the other day.
A lot of times people sometimes just let houses go because they owe more than it's worth when the house value goes down.
So, we don't know what's really going on at all, period.
But just because somebody files for bankruptcy or whatever happens with their home, we don't
know what that really means.
Doesn't mean they broke.
Right.
All right.
Little Wayne, he is getting sued.
Now, we had told you this story previously about a bouncer who says that Little Wayne's
bouncers attacked him while they were at Hyde trying to get into the nightclub for a BT
Awards afterparty.
Well, now that security guard is suing Lil Wayne because he says that he was shoved up against the wall,
suffered a dislocated jaw and shoulder injury.
Well, what if that security guard was trying to get at Lil Wayne and Lil Wayne's security was just doing their job?
Just because you're a security guard don't mean you can't be a groupie.
He actually is more like a doorman.
He was a doorman more than a security guard. So mean you can't be a groupie. He actually is more like a doorman.
He was a doorman more than a security guard.
So, yeah, so now he's suing.
I guess they wouldn't let all his people in or they tried to search them
and they had some issues with that.
I don't know.
Always some issues when people collide at the door.
Now, y'all want to hear a nice story?
Sure.
All right.
Let's talk about Rick Ross.
Now, I don't know if you guys saw this video footage,
but Rick Ross ran into this guy at Venice Beach,
an artist from Englewood named Issa Muhammad.
That's the name he goes by.
And Issa Muhammad started rapping for Rick Ross,
and now he has MMG in his name on Twitter,
and he has a couple of songs that he's also put out via SoundCloud.
Now, check out what Issa Muhammad sounds like.
No longer am I stressed, only blessed, Astral planing, poetic pontificating.
Excavating extravagant ways to say
things they hating. Englewood, they've been waiting.
Like episodes of DVZ next week will be a super
saying. I heard word.
I heard word like they haven't really
worded. He who hyperventilated off of hydroponics
turned tragedies up into sonics. Like Oklahoma
City to supersonics. Like we're a futuristic
reference. Rather reside in the present.
Yo, give me a G for genius,
a gold wrapper for my penis,
clitoris from the
caucus mountains,
my money didn't able
to be counted.
Count me the countess,
my worth is countless.
He said,
give me a white woman.
He said,
clitoris from the
caucus mountains.
He wanted a white woman.
First of all,
let's be clear.
If he wasn't homeless,
those balls would be
kind of white.
It's the fact that
he's homeless.
Like, come on,
let's be clear.
I mean,
it was decent, but it was like, okay.
It's always awkward when people come up to you and start rapping.
He sound like the Uber driver.
Them old Uber drivers in LA, boy, when they get to spitting, they sound like that.
All right, well, they were impressed by him, so that's nice.
You know, it's nice that things like this could happen.
Fairy tales can come true.
Did they buy him a sandwich?
Did they put some money in his cup?
I don't know, but he's been at his house.
He's got a picture of his single.
He's got Rick Ross in the picture along with other MMG members.
So, I mean, who knows?
I can't tell you exactly what happened, but he's getting some attention now.
And yesterday I told you a story you didn't care about, Taylor Swift versus Calvin Harris.
Well, now there's a lot more happening.
The story was basically put out by Taylor Swift's camp about a song, by
the way, a huge song, This Is What You Came For
that Taylor Swift allegedly wrote
for Calvin Harris. He did say that she
did write it and
things got a little crazy because I guess he's
offended that this story is coming out right now.
Now, he went on Twitter
and he said, please focus on the positive
aspects of your life because you've earned a great
one. I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katie, etc.
But I'm not that guy.
Sorry, I won't allow it.
I figure if you're happy in your new relationship, you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex-boyfriend down for something to do.
Why did they just don't text each other?
Why did he have to put that on Twitter?
Well, I think because she publicly put this story out.
Now he's publicly defending himself.
He said, I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it, and cut the vocals, though.
And initially she wanted it kept a secret, which is why they used the pseudonym.
I would like to say, you know, I know people like to say I like to make everything about race,
but that's hashtag white people problem.
Okay, I just wanted to throw that out there.
Well, Rihanna's on the song.
She ain't got nothing to do with this situation.
All right, well, that is your rumor report.
I'm Angela Yee.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
And happy birthday to my manager, my brother, my security.
Your boo.
No, he's not my boo.
My brother, June.
Say his birthday.
Why don't you just say your everything?
No, I'm not going to say my everything.
Say it.
That's my guy.
Salute to my guy, June, man. No, that's my guy. That's my brother, June, a.k don't you just say your everything? No, I'm not going to say my everything. Say it. That's my guy. Salute to my guy, June, man.
No, that's my guy.
That's my brother, June,
a.k.a. Carl Blair.
Say he's your everything.
He sound like your everything.
That's my brother.
You named a lot of stuff just now.
He make sure the business
is ran right.
That's your everything.
Just say your right hand.
I'm not going to say my everything.
I'm going to say my right hand.
Shout out to Carl Blair,
a.k.a. June.
Happy birthday to my brother.
Happy birthday, June.
Yeah, June's a great guy.
Happy birthday, man. All right. Now, when we come back, of course, we got the People's Choice Mix and shout out to Carl Blair, a.k.a. June. Happy birthday to my boy. Happy birthday, June. Yeah, June's a great guy. Happy birthday, man.
All right.

And shout out to our family at Revolt.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Everybody else, hit us up.
Let me know what you want to hear in the mix.

Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds
of concrete. Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up
their territory. Oh my god.
