I'm just telling you what it says, ma'am. Okay? I'm just reading what it says right there.
Starting point is 00:03:12 That definitely doesn't say that. I know it's like three words over there. Definitely not. You know, I went to Topgolf over the weekend. I took the family to Topgolf. I had such a great time at Topgolf. If you get a chance to go, you know, go out there and bring the whole family. My kids loved it. I know I don't know how to golf though I know that much I was hitting balls left right like it was baseball didn't know what I was
Starting point is 00:03:31 doing what you did I saw you and gave with the video of you teaching her how to swing I was trying your wife how to hit balls man times have changed boy ladies I know y'all got it hard out here man look at what you did this week crazy It's gone man to teach the woman how to hit balls life has really changed golf Okay, what you did this weekend not a damn thing my favorite thing to do drop on the clues bombs for doing nothing Absolutely nothing I watched a fight this weekend Listen like I said last week to LeBarro just in here having a conversation with him when he was up here when I was
Starting point is 00:04:06 Right was up here I was just like yo your confidence makes me want to put a couple dollars on you and I mean his confidence showed in The ring did you know I didn't put no money on him, but even the one that was a draw Oh, I actually think he won the fight. I feel like he won the fight too. I forgot the draw thing But we are gonna talk about that today As I said in the group chat over the weekend I I was like, uh, I said the judges, these are going to call it a draw or split decision for Roach. And he called it a draw.
Starting point is 00:04:32 But I mean, I think, no, I think he wanted to fight. He wanted to fight just because I, he landed more punches. Um, tank landed more power punches, but they should have counted that knee as a knockdown. If they would have counted that knee as a knockdown, he definitely would have won. I don't understand how you could pause a fight. I don't even think tank was hurt, but just the fact you took a knee, that should that knee as a knockdown. Yeah, if they would have counted that knee as a knockdown, he definitely would have won. I don't understand how you could pause a fight. I don't even think Tang was hurt, but just the fact you took a knee,
Starting point is 00:04:48 that should have counted as a knockdown. Yes, yeah. You can't pause a fight, like, hold on, let me wipe this sweater. Like, I've never seen that before. You got punched in the face, and you weren't hurt, but you did take a knee, and that should have counted as a knockdown.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And Rose should have won the fight. All right, well we'll talk about that in front of Facebook. But it was a great squabble, though. That was a good squabble. It was a great fight. All right, well RZA will be joining us this morning RZA Of course Wu-Tang is going on the final chamber tour. I run the hotel right now Yeah, run the jewels would be a cohort headlining with them
Starting point is 00:05:14 So we're gonna talk to RZA this morning and we have to send a rest in peace to Angie Stone She passed away over the weekend Columbia South Carolina zone man rest in peace to Angie Stone Yeah, we got a chance to interview her in 2019. And you know it's so crazy I watched that conversation over the weekend she's on there you know she's talking about a movie she wanted to do documentary she wanted to do about her life because you know Angie was you know a hip-hop pioneer a neo soul pioneer R&B icon like she had a she lived the full life. That's right. Yeah, we're gonna replay that interview this morning No, she stopped through. All right. Well, let's get the show cracker. We got front page news when we come back So don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ envy
Starting point is 00:05:55 Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club long the roads are filling in for Jess and let's get in some front page news Start off quick at some sports as we were just talking. Javante Davis Lamont Roach Jr. It was a draw Saturday night. Great squabble, man. It was a great fight. I mean, like, you know, we were watching the fight and I was in the group chat. I'm like, yo, they either gonna call it a draw or it's gonna be a real close decision for Roach.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yeah. But ended up being a draw, which I think was the right call. I think a draw was the right call. Only thing I just didn't like is once you knee, that is a down, right? That is a knockdown. It should have been. Right? Yeah. I didn't think it was a draw. And again, I'm not like the business. I don't know all the technical stuff, but I didn't think I thought that Lamont Roach won the fight. Roach was the busier fighter. You know what I'm saying? He threw 112 total punches. 112 total punches landed in Davis. I think take
Starting point is 00:06:45 with like 103 or something like that the roaches just a busier fighter tank landed more power punches roach landed more jabs more total punches I was a good squabble man there's a good fight I love this that should have been counted as a knockdown you take a knee in the middle of a fight I think so I would love to see him run it back quickly sooner than later but anyway good morning Morgan I know he says not gonna have me city I guess he got another fight plan what's up Morgan good morning DJ envy'm not having to know. I know he says not going to have a city. I guess he has another fight plan. What's up, Morgan? Good morning, DJ Envy Charlamagne, the God and Lauren LaRosa.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Happy Monday. How y'all feeling? Good. Less black and Holly. All right, y'all. Well, speaking of fights, did y'all see what happened on Friday? We wasn't talking about the bout, but President Trump, he says his meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky, it did not go well.
Starting point is 00:07:22 So the two had a heated exchange during a meeting in the Oval Office on Friday. Trump told Zelensky he is in no position to negotiate with Russia. Adding that without the US, you don't have the cards. Now Trump told Zelensky to make a deal or we're out. Let's take a listen to the exchange between President Trump, Ukrainian President Zelensky and Vice President J.D. Vance was also there, but I'll get into his comments in a second. The very beginning of the war, Mr. President, I was... You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now.
Starting point is 00:07:50 With us, you start having cards. I'm not playing cards. Right now, you don't have your playing cards. I'm very serious, Mr. President. You're playing cards. I'm very serious. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III.
Starting point is 00:08:00 What are you thinking about? You're gambling with World War III. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, that's back to you far more than a lot of people said they should have. So Vice President JD Vance also entered the chat and told Zelensky to use his manners, saying that he hasn't been grateful for the aid that his country has received from the US. Let's hear those comments from JD Vance, Viceance, Vice President J.D. Vance.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Have you said thank you once? This entire meeting? A lot of times. No, in this entire meeting have you said thank you? You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who's trying to save your country. Please. Please.
Starting point is 00:08:45 You're saying that if you will speak very loudly about the war you can. He's not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudly. Your country's in big trouble. Can I answer? Wait a minute, no, no, you've done a lot of talking. What do you guys think about that exchange?
Starting point is 00:08:58 I'm sure you saw the video. What I didn't understand is they was talking to Zelensky like he invaded Russia and not the other way around like I literally For a second forgot who started all this like this folk does the linsky the way they should be speaking to the Putin But Putin is that guy so, you know, I guess they riding with their home. I mean, I think they spoke to him Like he was a child. They didn't speak to him like he was a president They spoke to him like he was beneath them. It just sounded crazy to see somebody and you didn't even say thank you When I walked in office, they didn't even let that man speak. They didn't even let him have a conversation
Starting point is 00:09:26 I thought it was totally disrespectful to talk to another president like that. I think that one day I don't think it should be filmed I think they should have did that behind the doors where they were able to Squash out and get everything out on a table. I just thought that was really disrespectful So Zelensky ended up leaving the White House in a hurry without signing that planned minerals deal, you know for the rare earths I thought they all fulfilled them. I thought they all go fill jazzy just made it yeah they kicked up the work when it they kicked them out to an extent but he did he supposedly Zelensky was interested in coming back to try to
Starting point is 00:09:55 you know do the deal to which Trump was like nah you can't come back now so since Zelensky has since released a statement on social media thanking America he did you know issue his thanks and his gratitude, express his gratitude for the visit. And of course, last week marked three years since that full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. So I'll keep you posted in the next hour as to what some of the other leaders around the world are saying about this and what we need to do probably moving forward. And then I will also get into the comments, those post-fight comments from Tank Davis and Lamar Roach.

That's a very dangerous and rugged dark highway that they were on. And at that time of morning, those types of things can happen. It's a lot of 18 Willis and I area you know Alabama was small so I could totally understand the accident and I just had a cousin
Starting point is 00:11:52 who actually lost her mate in an accident the same way. Wow that's horrible man I mean car accidents when you they're the worst because like when you hear somebody die like health issues you kind of like okay they had health issues but when it's a car accident you feel like you know that time got cut short but like you said man when it's your time it's your time yes exactly when it's your time it's your time and she was actually coming from a model car a Venomobile I had a friend who was there as well so it was just all drastically here and I personally just love it just because I'm

And he talked to that man like he was a kindergartener, which was crazy to me. But you know, there's a saying that Kings talk to Kings and justice
Starting point is 00:13:22 stand in place and JD Vans is the jester that needed to stay in his place. Accident telling this man he should apologize about or be thankful. The nerve of this fool. But you know what I caught? President Trump, I hate to call his name, but he said in that meeting this would make for great TV and And that's what he wants. He wants TV. He's not a president, man. I don't know how these people voted him in, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:13:50 They gonna F around and find out. Well, you're right. He is the president, but he also was the executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice. But you know, it is interesting with JD Vance because I was sitting back thinking like, damn, I ain't even seen JD Vance

If you need to vent and hit us up now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:14:20 The Breakfast Club This is your time to get it off your chest We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club Hello, who's this? Hey morning, this is Lashay from Brooklyn. Hey, good morning, mama. Get it off your chest. I just, first of all, this is Lashay from Getting Through. So I'm super excited. I want to give a shout out to you all. I listen to you all every morning. I am a school bus driver from Brooklyn, New York.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And I do mobile notary on the side. So I just want to take a morning and I wouldn't forget with my test how much they tax in New York City. I just woke up yesterday morning and they freaking towed my car and they are trying to charge me like $800 just to get my car back
Starting point is 00:15:18 and it's like completely ridiculous because they charge you a towing fee, they charge you a service fee, even when they're cold. And it's just ridiculous. And it's so sad because, you know, we really out here trying to make ends meet and they just fine. We just have to practice and practice and practice to everything. So why did you call your car?
Starting point is 00:15:37 They told my car because I have to renew my registration. That's fair. Yeah. So exactly. And they just, I woke up yesterday morning, I touched my airbag and my car was gone. So. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:53 And registration was $70, $71, something like that? $50? Yeah. And then also, it also depends on how long it has been expired for, but they usually give you up to a year to renew it. But I just wasn't expecting them to just up and show the car over there. That's ridiculous. Yeah, that's crazy. So now you gotta pay $850 for a $50 registration. Yes, and then they charge you every day for...
Starting point is 00:16:20 Storage. Exactly. So I did want to say I could throw my cash out there because like it's really hard go ahead mama my cash out is f-h-a-y-a-a-j-a-y-y if anyone wants to help me because I'm really out here trying and you know I have a lot of thought but it's like completely hard trying to say I'll go out here alrighty mama good luck thank you oh and I want to say hi to Trav. I listen to you guys every morning and Trav has you tracking up ready to call to speak to you guys.
Starting point is 00:16:49 So keep it up and I love you all and have a great day. Peace. Bye bye now. Thank you. Hello, who's this? D, what's going on? Envy! Hey, what's up?
Starting point is 00:16:59 Get it off your chest D. Hey, I just want to say good morning to the Breakfast Club. I listen to y'all every morning. Lauren LaVos, you be killing it. Charlamagne, I love you. Envy, I just want to say good morning to the Breakfast Club. I listen to you every morning. Lauren LaRosa, you be killing it. Charlamagne, I love you. Envy, I love you. I just want to comment on the front page, you know, the news about Zelensky and Trump and everything.
Starting point is 00:17:16 It's 45 minutes worth of conversation. And actually, Trump was very nice and very quiet for a lot of the time until Zelensky threatened us and said, we ain't going to feel it now, but you'll feel it later because we got this big beautiful ocean that's protecting us. And then that's when Trump went off. So I just want you all to, I love you all and I agree and disagree with everything. I mean, people have the right to agree and disagree on everything. But if you don't get a news, get a whole story and not
Starting point is 00:17:47 just and I know we don't have necessarily time for it. But we always focus in on a negative. And it's always like an attack. It's like stand up for America. Because this is where we are. If people don't like where America love America, as a country and that's where they're born and where their roots are, people can leave. I don't want that. Nobody wants that. But it's like, let's stand for America.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Don't you think the representation of America matters though? Especially, you know, when, imagine. Oh, I agree. Charlemagne, 100%. Imagine if you was an American ally and you saw that. Could you trust America at this point? Would you trust? Would I trust America for walking us into a war
Starting point is 00:18:31 that they couldn't win? What are you talking about? That is horrible. People's lives are being lost. And it's like, that's more important than anything. Then land, you can't replace lives. And people are going in on him for wanting people to stop being killed. No I don't think that's the reason people
Starting point is 00:18:50 are going in on him I think we all want the war to be be stopped but we also have to remember who started the war you do know Russia started the war. Oh yeah Russia started the war but who provoked the war let's keep going back to where did all of that it was a cold war before there was actually a war i have no idea what you're talking about anymore okay i just don't i'm not well thank you for checking in and thank you for listening i love y'all though love you too i have no idea what you're talking about i'm not i can't do it i'm not gonna have a conversation with somebody if i don't know what you're talking about get it off your chest 800-585-1051 we got the mess coming up we do we
Starting point is 00:19:24 are gonna you know take some time to send some love to the family of Angie Stone, who passed away over the weekend, and just talk through just some of her big moments and things to remember. Show her some love. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Shalemane the guy we are the Breakfast Club Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. Let's get to the mess. On the Breakfast Club, the coacheship with Lauren Lauren LaRosa. So we do want to take the time to send a rest in peace to Ms. Angie Stone. That is a crazy, like that this weekend when that happened, this really, really, really caught me off guard. Grammy nominated in Soul Train Award winning singer, songwriter, actress, producer, mother,
Starting point is 00:20:23 just a trailblazer in everything that she did. One of the pioneers of female rap. So let's first talk about what happened. So over the weekend, things started circulating online because her, I believe it was her daughter had posted, like my mother is gone, so people are like, wait, what's happening right now? Then there had been some conversation
Starting point is 00:20:42 about a possible car accident. When I got the call, I reached out to her publicist. Her name is Miss Deborah Champagne. She's been a publicist and a friend for over 14 years to Angie Stone, who then confirmed to me that Angie Stone had passed away in a tragic car accident. It was actually a Sprinter that she was in. She was one of nine people in a Sprinter in Alabama. They were traveling from a show that she had done in Alabama to Baltimore, C-I-A-A weekend, because she had some stuff that she was gonna do there as well, and she was the only person, as of now,
Starting point is 00:21:11 she was the only person in the Sprinter that passed away. And how many people were in the Sprinter, do we know? Nine people. Wow, tragic, man. Yeah, nine people. And now, when I talked to Miss Debra, of course it was very emotional for her, and what she told me was that, you know, she had just talked to Angie Stone the night prior, right before Angie Stone was about to go on stage.
Starting point is 00:21:32 She said she talked to her around like a little bit after 8 or 9 o'clock. And Angie had told her, you know, I'm about to go on stage, I got to call you back, but I'll see you tomorrow in Baltimore. She was literally getting, her rep was literally getting ready to head to Baltimore to meet Angie and then got, her phone started ringing crazy So she was in tears when she was talking to me She just she wanted to make sure that we took the time to you know Just go through all of her career accolades and just leave the light on the world the way that Angie Stone would want to she said
Starting point is 00:21:57 Specifically said to me the Breakfast Club does a great job of what they do so we can call her for anything when it comes To this so let's take the time to do that. Well, you can't do it in 10 minutes. I can't do it in 10 minutes, but I'm gonna try to do. Her career has spanned across so much, but I'm gonna try to do the best that I can right now. And not to cut you off, just telling people that we are gonna be playing her interview
Starting point is 00:22:16 that we did with her in 2019 when she came up here, and she broke down a lot of our history. We're gonna be playing that. I broke down a lot of our history. I rewatched it this weekend, just just because and literally like she talks about wanting to do a movie about her life and documentary and there was a lot of things she didn't even want to fully get into because she was like this is gonna be for the movie this gonna be for the movie yeah yeah so we're gonna do that
Starting point is 00:22:36 in the in the 8 o'clock hour got you and I did look up that what she was talking about guy watch that interview too it says that it was still in development so I'm gonna try and figure out like where that left off to and see if there's anything that we could talk about there eventually. But yeah, so Angie Stone, she was born in Columbia, South Carolina. She was nominated for three Grammys. She won two Soul Train Awards. Like I mentioned, one of the pioneers of female rap. She started her career in the hip hop group, The Sequence in the 70s with the song Funk You Up, where she was Angie
Starting point is 00:23:03 B on that record. First female hip hop group of all time. first female hip hop group to go gold. Yeah, and I think a lot of when I watched the interview, I was like, oh shoot, I didn't know that. I didn't know during the interview. You see, I was surprised if you watched the interview. Yeah, you were. Yep, you were.
Starting point is 00:23:16 She leaves behind, Angie soon leaves behind her two children, Diamond and Michael. Diamond is her daughter and the mother of her two grandchildren and then Michael is her son. Now, her songs, let's get into her catalog again. We can't do everything but if we're talking catalog there's so many big songs that she had. No More Rain which was off of her debut album, Black Diamond in 1999. This album went gold as well too.

And a girlfriend's fanatic. And Angie's from Columbia, South Carolina, so I'm not knocking anybody who didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Yeah, there was a lot of people who didn't know. I think I only knew because I'm so into the interviews. He talks about it all the time. Exactly, I mean, he's a big fan of the show as well, too. But he's a girlfriend. She talks about it all the time. And I remember watching an interview where she talked about, they literally told her
Starting point is 00:24:10 when they didn't play her rift, the ratings on the show would go down for that episode. So whenever they did play the rift, they called it the good luck charm for the Girlfriends show. So she's talked about that as well. So yeah, I just wanted to take that time. And we do have some of her music that I want to make sure that we get to play
Starting point is 00:24:28 God bless the soul of Angie Stone It's just a reminder that when it's your time is your time because you know you in a vehicle Would you say what eight other people yeah, and you're the only one who passed you can't question God when it's your time You know literally you can be here with somebody today, and they're gone tomorrow So don't take anybody or any moment for granted at all Yeah, God bless her family man She was 63 years old. I'm not for sure if I said it at the beginning But I wanted to make sure I said that as well too. I'm imagine all the folks that was in the vehicle with her feel

Starting point is 00:29:19 that we had with Angie Stone in 2019. Some people are just like fairy tales. I feel like she's one of them. It's right. Some people are just like fairytales. I feel like she's one of them. It's really crazy to be seeing RIP, even though she's lived a very full life, it's just, I still am like, that's so crazy. I mean, 63 is still young though.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Yeah, 63 is young, but it's just like, you don't, I would never, I thought it was a lie. I just knew this was like something Twitter created until I called a rep. Cause any type of accident is always so abrupt. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I'm not saying like when you when you die of health issues It can be abrupt too, but like you know when you feel when you hear like a car accident
Starting point is 00:29:50 You know nothing was planned Just feel like it just feels like things were cut short, but no when it's your time. Yeah, it's your time. All right All right when we come back we got front page news. So don't go anywhere and again We're gonna be replaying our Angie Stone interview from our 2019 in the 8 o'clock hour so don't move it's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NB, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the God, we are the Breakfast Club. Alright, Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess, let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Now over the weekend the fight, Javontae Davis Davis Lamont Roach Jr. ended in a draw. Good squabble. I mean, I think draw was the right call. I think so too. You know, when I, immediately when the fight was over, you know, I was thinking to myself, okay, they either gonna call it a draw or it's gonna be a split decision that leans towards Roach.
Starting point is 00:30:41 So, you know, when they call a draw, I thought that was the right call. Even though they should have counted Tank taking that knee as a knockdown. They do that, Roach wins the fight. Yeah, he definitely wins the fight. And you know, I'm a casual boxer fan. Like, I'm not a boxer, boxer, boxer fan. But when I seen it, I thought that, you know, when you take a knee, that's a knockdown. It's 100% of the knockdown. It should have been counted as a knockdown.
Starting point is 00:31:00 You can't call a timeout. He actually could have, the ref actually could have called the fight. Because if you take a knee and then you run to your corner like that, that's like quitting. Most people thought that that was what was going to happen after he went to the corner. I thought it was over too. Yeah, well he did say that he got his hair braided and the grease was in his eye and he wanted to wipe that out of his eye. There was a lack of focus from Tank the whole fight that I saw though. Even when he was chatting with the referee and everything. I don was just, I don't know, he didn't look like himself. And he'd always be running to the side looking for his people,
Starting point is 00:31:29 but I felt like he, like when he was doing that as well, I'm like, did he, is he like, did he, I think he underestimated it a little bit. And I was very impressed at the way Roach was able to take Tank's power. Tank was landing some shots and Roach was eating them. Like, okay. You didn't even know.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Well, good morning, Morgan. Good morning. I'm like, dang, can I get in this conversation just a little bit if it for anything they should bring it back to the DMV you know I'm saying we got MGM we got convention centers we got you know I'm saying so Barclays was cool but everything yes so the reigning WBA lightweight champion Javont Davis and Lamont Roach they clashed in the bout ending in a controversial draw and as previously mentioned as you guys talked about controversial
Starting point is 00:32:09 see the DMV bias it is controversial people are there's so many people that are like what the heck happened people feel like because Tank oh you mean because he took a knee yeah because he was able to get back up and the fight went on it was controversial I'm like, let me get into it. Okay so as previously mentioned, y'all talked about the knee that Tank took in the ninth
Starting point is 00:32:29 round that was not ruled a knockout by referee Steve Willis. But to your point, Envy, let's take a listen to Tank's reason why he took that knee. I just got my hair done two days ago and she picked grease in my show. The sh** was like you know like when you sweat and things like that and the grease come in my my face it burned my eyes. Like why y'all booing like I'm saying bullsh**. This is real facts. Come on man. Look at my hair. I just got this. I'm done. But it's all cool man. You know how I get. They love you and then they hate you. Excuses like that always sound weak in boxing. You know what I mean? Like the only excuses that work in boxing
Starting point is 00:33:09 is if you actually get hurt. Like if your hand gets hurt in the ring or it's like there's an actual injury. When you say things like, grease fell in my eye when Deontay Wilder said his outfit that he wore to the ring was too heavy so his legs was tight. Like stuff like that be sounding crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I will say this though. He didn't, he wasn't fazed. It's not like he ran to the corner was too heavy, so his legs was tight. Like stuff like that be Sonic crazy. I will say this though, he wasn't fazed. It's not like he ran to the corner to get some extra help. He looked fine. You know what I'm saying, a little bit in that fight, he gave a little bit of days a little bit. Like he was a little shaky a little bit. Not during that point, not when he took that knee though.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Also too, the hairstylist said that that's not what happened. She did his hair Wednesday and she posted that, and he's done so much stuff since Wednesday. She said the grease in question. It literally says no grease, no alcohol, no flaking, no wax. So something happened. Like I don't know how hard that punch was. Roach hit him with it.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Didn't seem like it was that hard, but it did something. Well let's hear from Lamont Roach. He also spoke after the fight saying he put belt to butt. Let's hear those comments from Lamont Roach. I'm telling you that I'm one of the best fighters in the world, man. And I and show tonight. I don't he probably wasn't welling when he said the grease got in his eye. But if you volunteer to take a knee and the rest are counting, it should be a knockdown. If that's a knockdown, I win the fight. So I mean, it is what it is. I'm
Starting point is 00:34:22 not counting. I'm not banking on that knockdown to win. I just, you know, just, I just thought I pulled it out. What happens next? I want to run it back for sure. So as a result of this fight now, Tank's record is no longer perfect. It was 30-0, but now he has that one draw. But at least he gets to hold on to his title. So to y'all guys' point and to the point of the fighters, they want to run it back and we'll see what happens again.
Starting point is 00:34:46 And I'm sure it'll be highly, highly anticipated. If it's not going to be in the DMV, it got to be in Vegas. So I don't know. But speaking of fights, let's get back on the topic of Zelensky and Trump. European leaders are pledging billions in support to Ukraine following the emergency summit in London on Sunday. Now, British Prime Minister Keir Stammer, he said UK, France and others will work to figure out a plan to stop the fighting and present it to President Trump. He also rejected a suggestion by a
Starting point is 00:35:11 reporter that the US is not a reliable ally after President Trump's heated exchange with Ukrainian President Zelensky in the OBA office. So let's hear more from UK Prime Minister Keir Stammer. Together with others, Europe must do the heavy listing. But to support peace in our continent and to succeed, this effort must have strong US backing. Nobody wanted to see what happened last Friday, but I do not accept that the US is an unreliable ally. The US has been a reliable ally to the UK for many, many decades
Starting point is 00:35:46 and continues to be. Well, that's good. That's good. He still has faith in the US to be a good ally. Because I can see people all over the country, I mean, people all over the world, stocking up on nuclear weapons, are creating new nuclear weapons just because they may not feel safe. They may not feel like the US is a reliable ally. So I'm glad that they still do. Well, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, he also entered the chat. You know, there's a lot of reaction to all of this.
Starting point is 00:36:13 He said that a message was sent and he's proud of how the president handled it. Meanwhile, Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, he said this is not good and said the exchange was performative. Let's hear the comments from them. I've never been more proud of President Trump for showing the American people in the world. You don't trifle with this man. You know, saying thank you in the Oval Office
Starting point is 00:36:32 being put on the spot like that is, you know, it seemed to me that it was just, you know, JD Vans saying, hey, look what I can do, Dad. Well, look, you guys, it's a lot going on. So let me just try to wrap this thing up with a bow. There's other news going on in South Carolina just try to wrap this thing up with a bow. There's other news going on in South Carolina. The state is currently under a state of emergency as wildfires ravage the state.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Governor Henry McMaster he made the declaration on Sunday as one of the largest fires threatens residents in the Myrtle Beach area. Now the fire in the Carolina forest has burned over a thousand acres and is zero percent contained as of last check. Meanwhile the North Carolina Fire Service says wildfire in Polk County has destroyed at least 400 acres and is also 0% contained as of last check. More than 170 wildfires have erupted across both states,
Starting point is 00:37:15 blackening a combined 4,200 acres and forcing mass evacuations. It's crazy because usually, you know, South Carolina, North Carolina doesn't deal with these type of situations. We were just seeming to wrap up what was going on, the devastating wildfires that impacted LA. So do you guys have any thoughts on this? Charlamagne, I know that's where you're from.
Starting point is 00:37:34 I've never heard of South Carolina wildfires in my life, but you know, definitely sending prayers and positive energy out there. Everybody in Red Obesity, that's that have to deal with that at this moment. Absolutely. All right, you guys, there's so much more to talk but at the end of the day the day going that's your front page news I'm Morgan would follow me at Morgan media for more news coverage follow at black information network download the free I heart radio app and Visit us at BIN news.com. Let's make it a great week. All right. Thank you Morgan Thank you Now when we come back RZA will be joining us, of course RZA from Wu-Tang
Starting point is 00:38:04 They're going on the final tour Wu-Tang forever the final chapter tickets are on sale right now We're gonna talk to RZA when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on the Breakfast Club Morning everybody is DJ Envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building the legend RZA He's here back. Welcome back in the building the legend RZA. He's here back Bong-Bong back in the building. How you feeling brother? I feel super good. Yeah. Yeah, everything is lovely I see you guys are back on tour. Yes indeed. We're tank clan the final chamber
Starting point is 00:38:36 How difficult was that to put together not as difficult as it used to be, you know I mean, but um, nah, this is our last chance to run around the globe together and uh, it kind of was everybody You know agreed that it was a time we start thinking of a name everybody's like this one The final chamber and with that Bonk bonk. Here we are. Why the final chamber though? Like how do you know you put in a period on this on is it just for the tour just Wu-Tang in general? Oh, no for the I mean Wu-Tang is forever. That's why we see, we put that Wu-Tang forever in there. Because this, you know, Wu-Tang is beyond just our physical presence of it, you know
Starting point is 00:39:11 what I mean? But as far as us coming together and coming to your city, all nine members on stage, you know what I mean? You know, when you get your ticket, you getting all that, you getting that, you know what I mean? Because sometimes you go to a Wu show, you might get four, five, you know what I mean? So this is like, nah, here we all are, clear your schedule for this, you you know I mean cuz sometimes you go to a woo show you might get four five you know I mean so this is like now here we all are clear your schedule for this you know I mean and let's run around the globe one more time together so we'll start right here in America you know then shoot
Starting point is 00:39:33 across the water you know I mean show some love and just kind of best way I could say it is take off that it's kind of a burden to all come together because everybody got a life a job, something going on in their lives. So, what we said when that sign go up, we all come and the sign went up and everybody's here. Did the residency make it easier for everybody to say, yo, we can do this? The residency helped, but even at the residency, we had some absentees. You know what I mean? But it really helped because it really helped just that consistency of coming together, the consistency of our brotherhood our
Starting point is 00:40:08 brotherhood really never never diminished over the years and I think for Wu Tang we represent community unity you know so many of us was inspired by like the Wu is like your whole neighborhood on stage you know I mean and I think that um we could use that right now I think you know what I mean? And I think that we could use that right now, I think. You know what I mean? Like even artistically for the culture, we could come in and look at the example of the woo. Yeah, so the time is now, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:33 Now, I seen in an interview that you said you went to each member and said, what do you want to be on this tour? What do you need? And you was able to give everybody that. How difficult was that? And was there anybody that you couldn't give what they wanted?
Starting point is 00:40:45 No, at the end of the day, you gotta be satisfied, right? So we know we're doing mathematics, right? And we know that when there's dissatisfaction, it breeds confusion, right? They say, you know, even when 70% of the people were satisfied, the other 30% was dissatisfied and that other 30% went and started their own s*** and now you got competition. So you got to strive to reach satisfaction and satisfaction is when someone
Starting point is 00:41:09 can say yo, for me, you know, I don't care if it's just like yo, I just want bananas every night in my dressing room. That's what you want, you know what I mean? Let's accommodate that. Let's accommodate the comfortability because I know I see it different. My brother Devon see it different, our whole management team. We know that when you are going out on the road, you're leaving your family. You know what I mean? You're leaving with you your routine of life. And so we want to make you as comfortable as possible. So this becomes a moment of joy versus a moment of work. Are you confident that every single member is gonna show up for the show?
Starting point is 00:41:41 I mean, I'm confident for confidence sake. And I mean, of course I'm confident for confidence sake and I mean of course I'm confident you know I mean but you know this is life you know I mean you can make a wrong turn on the 95 and end up in a small town for the night but nah I mean far as the intention it's all about intention and the intention everybody is intending to be here so if there's a glitch in the matrix you know we'll deal with it. And there's an album to come with this too? No, no, no. I mean, Alarm Mathematics has a new album that he's put together called Black Sansom. He got a new song called Mandingo. He took all like the Black Exploitation and Kung Fu movies
Starting point is 00:42:16 and did an album and got the entire Wu-Tang Clan MCs on it. Got Benny the Butcher, Cool G. Just one of those Al-Lar mathematics albums that's dope and he, so that ironically is coming out around the same time but it wasn't like a strategy plan, it was just like he finished it at the time when the tour is about to happen so that's a blessing for him and then I did hear, I can say this on the air, I did hear some of Ray Kwan's new album too. He's on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Yeah? One of those. I'm excited to hear what they'll have. So hopefully he gets that out before the tour drops and bong bong. Are you involved in Ray's new album? Just, you know, I'm the Abbott, you know what I mean? It comes to the temple and see if the Abbott, you know, want to add some flavor to it or get some wisdom or advice, you know
Starting point is 00:43:05 I mean, but he's the foundation of it It came to me right before the bike during the holidays when he felt like he had a nice I just call it a body work your body of work. I was gonna call it dough like piece of dough We got a mold that you know, I mean, but yeah And we five dial listen to it twice and don't say yeah, I had some vision and get shared my vision But you know, that's just it's him doing it Ray Quentin's say, ah yeah, I had some vision and shared my vision. But yo, it's him doing it. Ray Kwan's always, he's a general,
Starting point is 00:43:28 always know how to lead his self, but then also as a general, it's wise to check in with the Abbot and be like yo, yo Abbot, what's your two cents on this? Who was the most difficult to get to do this? And not because of them being difficult, but maybe because of scheduling, right? You got Meft that's acting, you're acting and producing, you got Ray Kwan that owns a bunch of businesses
Starting point is 00:43:48 and these brothers leaving their families. Who was the most difficult to get? It was like, this is going to be a little tough. You know, I won't say difficult, but you know who does the most shows out of all of us? Who's that? The Jizza. The Jizza? No, the Jizza. Oh, where?
Starting point is 00:44:01 Listen, the Jizza is, he's like a jazz musician, yo. It's like, you call him, yo, you wanna do the Resson, he say, oh, I got 40 shows, I'm going to Europe, or yo, I'm going to 20 shows in Canada. Wow. I mean, he stays, that Liquid Swart album, arguably one of the best hip hop albums of all time too. Absolutely, absolutely. It's just go, go.
Starting point is 00:44:19 So you gotta check his schedule, because he definitely is knocking 150 shows out a year. And so we actually had to pace and wait for him. And I personally- He had to wait for them, because he was on tour. Yeah, and I gave him a call, I was like, how's your schedule for this year? Like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:44:35 He was like, I'm good. I need this much time right here. And bong bong. He's like, yeah, gimme his work. I wanna get back to the tour. I wanna ask you about LiquidSource and Swionic, because we was having a whole debate last night in the group chat just about Wu-Tang songs, Wu-Tang music because you know my guy B.Dot put out a top 10 greatest Wu-Tang records and on Liquid Sword's Cold World label, it goes Cold World labels, Fourth Chamber and the Shadow Boxing. That's probably one of the greatest sequences on an album. Do you remember arranging that? Yeah, definitely. Definitely. That's one of my specialties, I think.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Not knowing then, right? The natural ability of editing or having a through line of storytelling. But it has always been my personality. And at that time, it was only expressed through music. Now it's being expressed in I direct films and TV shows and all that but it was the same type of energy. Like I could feel the way it go. I could feel when the listener is listening it's like, oh yo, I want your emotion to rise up, get
Starting point is 00:45:35 him up. By the time you got to 4th Chamber, you driving, you might get a ticket. You know what I mean? And I wanted, wanted you know you feel that right here mm-hmm yeah I always strive to get that feeling to have your spine for that I said the lyrics I said um march of the wooden soldiers see cyberpunk try to hold us a thousand in wasland I want to hold us particular to the square we stand low like flair escape from the dragon's lair in particular my beats travel like a vortex up your spine to the top of your cerebral cortex That's that's my that's my goal is it hit you. Bam Hi, we got more with RZA when we come back don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ Envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club lawler also filling in for Jess
Starting point is 00:46:20 And we're still kicking it with RZA the final tour the final Wu-Tang forever tour the final chapter tickets are on sale Right now and we're still kicking it with RZA Charlamagne When the last time you listen to your verse on 4th chamber because it's so relevant to the day That's why I mean now I mean I've been I'm back into the study of what of everything of right now You know this tour also we got special guests run the jewels and so it's like this is gonna be a lyrical tour you know I mean it's gonna be one of those tours that you know you're gonna get your sweat off guarantee you're gonna get your jumps you're gonna get your your classics but it's gonna be those moments you're gonna be like I needed that you know I mean
Starting point is 00:46:58 cuz you know words in the beginning was the word and the word became flesh and so those words are healing you you know, we need it. I had something I was going to say to you all this morning. A law of segregation and discrimination is a sickness to any nation. When you deny a portion of the population the chance to experience the elevation, it will only lead to the decimation of your system and the next generation will pay for the mistake that will result in economic inflation. Ghetto living, innocent black Latinos and European immigrants stuffed inside housing
Starting point is 00:47:28 tenements. Low income recipients, they gotta choose between the food or the rent. Neighborhoods are cramped like POW camps and X marked the spot where the insidious policies were stamped. Bad health increase and bad policing and there's gentrification and Michael and Brad is leasing. At night they feel fright from the dimly lit street lights. My man G he could beef and fight but he couldn't eat right. Loud sounds echoing gunshots he couldn't sleep right. Wow what a life when your life ain't worth a loaf of bread or a
Starting point is 00:47:56 box of white rice. Mmm. Yeah bless be the meek. It's attorney of the cheek but J-Born just knocked him out with a sneaky right and put him off his feet. It could come last, it could come fast in the blast, knock your senses back to the past. It's like old poppin' sounds, a big brass section you hear from old jazz. Me, I stick to a piano key. Speak from a low, A minor, to a soprano E, B-O-B, it's the Abbott MC. Oh, you're getting back in the booth then? Because it sounds like you're ready.
Starting point is 00:48:23 It ain't, you know, whether it's in the booth or not, this tour, like I said, this is like, this is that moment for the woo, that W, that wisdom, that you, that unpredictability. Like let's get that back into the system. You know, I honestly feel that woo is like a part of hip hop culture that's needed, you know what I mean? And whether we could be the ones that continue to physically do it or some young brothers are listening and they pick it up and they come and bring that wave, there's some young brothers I know, Coach Contra, y'all been seeing them? Yeah, you know what I mean? Good flows, good style, good everything. Once they
Starting point is 00:48:57 start injecting a little more wisdom into that, you know, hip hop needs that, you know what I mean? It ain't all just about all our money guns and sex and drugs You know I mean that's a portion of it. Mm-hmm not but it's not the it's not all of it I saw you say something recently where you said uh 97 banning Wu Tang's music contributed to I guess not just the decline of the group or just the decline of Yeah, you're sound and everything. I mean you know you could date that you know I mean we could look at it and see it happening. Because when you're dealing with business,
Starting point is 00:49:27 like all of us, you know, we got jobs, right? And so we gotta come in and do our job. But the dude say, paint it blue. And you the painter, you got painted blue, right? Even though you know like, man, this blue is gonna really turn everybody away. Or it's really the paint got lead in it or whatever. You still gotta stick to the job.
Starting point is 00:49:43 And I think like at that time, and even maybe in that, people were scared to fight for each other. You know what I mean? That's been one of our issues, I think, as our culture. There was a point when the culture, because of money, we did start accepting each other. I remember when like Master P and them
Starting point is 00:49:58 would come to New York and we accepted it. You know what I mean? When Dre and Snoop and Ice Cube, we accepted it. You know, first we accepted from the music right and that's private But then when the money when somebody's blowing money, then you accept it because of the money And so now you admire him because of his money, but not because of his skill because of the culture You know I mean so when that starts happening It's almost like you're diminishing the culture because of the money so yeah a dude can make a hit at the end of the day
Starting point is 00:50:23 We talk about hip-hop hits hammer hammer had hits, baby He was he was going diamond and people didn't accept that as hip-hop for some reason back then even roasting that right and I know I was pretty hard on him or myself So I'm not like I wasn't you know, cuz I was on some rule right but we don't even give him his accolades So he opened the door at the end of the day I mean for commercial success we get all that but yeah But we don't even give him his accolades. He opened the door at the end of the day. We made fun of him. For commercial success, we get all that, but yeah. Yeah, he out, Pete.
Starting point is 00:50:48 See, that's why I say Allah is merciful. He takes a flaw. Let me give you a quick metaphor. I won't go too deep. But let's look at two of our greatest artists, right? 50 Cent and I'ma say yay. Both caught a flaw in their jaw, right? One from a car crash and one from a tragic street incident.
Starting point is 00:51:06 But both now develop a tone that attracts the world. So from a floor in the jaw, a law blesses them more. It's like nah, now you come back and it's like, it's whole swag, it's whole everything, it's sharpened without even knowing. So hip hop itself, they say the DJ, the dude was like, he said he was in his crib, one of the old DJs, right? He's in the crib and his mom's coming and he holds the record. And she's like, no, turn it down, blah, blah, blah. He's like, holding it. Now the scratch is invented. That's crazy. You know what I mean? I'm a flaw. You ever had one of those? So many, to be frank It's just like um sometimes you could go to your to your to your beat machine, and it just glitches out
Starting point is 00:51:50 You know I mean I feel like Method Man the original drum way it happened was almost like a glitch out But I liked it. Then I just emulated it. I emulated the mistake. I think No, not that the pop put the pack to the pack it's like that's the that's the bounce of it So then so when a guy like him got the got it on the mic you he saw behind his behind his horse You know, I mean, but there's others it just happens like that, you know when it will floor I mean even if you think about shame, right? I mean dirty came in late to the studio But he did that verse right one take and then he's like same with the bow that was like he just I said no no no go do it over so
Starting point is 00:52:33 now God they gonna love it that's all right he was right exactly I mean I actually I learned from that like that was a one take and one two one two three yeah I threw that but got through all of that I mean, that's one thing about dirty if you could talk about him for a moment. Shout out to YDB He'll be on a tour with us. He'll be a son. That's his son. His firstborn son, bar son He'll be on a tour doing his father versus for us. He's been doing it for years and he's been doing a great job But one thing about dirty he almost never say the lyric the same way twice. If he did it, shimmy shimmy yaw shimmy yam shimmy yay.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Next time he do it, he's not gonna do it like that. He's almost like a, once again, like a jazz musician. He just goes with the spirit. You know what I mean? And he'll tell, he'll say a rhyme that we wrote when we was 14 years old and then he was saying it during the woo era and eatin' my a** up because I'll grab the mic and I'll damage it. And like you listen to his album that lyric is on the album twice. Yeah Yeah, right because it was more of a performance more of a energy that he would bring versus just the lyrical content
Starting point is 00:53:39 But he was very special and I think he helped bring freedom to hip-hop expression Do you ever remember those records that you lost in the flood? Did you ever get any of that or were able to produce that over or any of that at all? Nothing never came back like it was. Actually I'm glad you mentioned that Envy. We're building this time capsule for the tour and we're gonna invite our fans you know to come out and somebody will win every night. You could take something from your woo nostalgia, your woo history and put it in this time capsule. And we all know we're gonna put it there. I may bury it somewhere, I may put it in a museum, but I'm gonna collect something from
Starting point is 00:54:16 every city, from somebody. But the first thing we're gonna put in there, I'm kinda telling you for the first time, because I was gonna put in there and I'm kind of telling you for the first time because I was gonna surprise I'm gonna take those discs that had inspected Dex album I'm gonna put it in that time capsule Wow, and if somebody find it years later and open it up and figure out the technology could get all that or whatever Is on it bang bang. I'm shocked. We don't have that now. There's no technology that can get that now hasn't happened We took Dex man. No, they, Matt, no they snuck a few out
Starting point is 00:54:45 and tried to do it. You know what I mean? Because it's on floppy disk yo. They took it to the NASA people and they didn't get it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Alright we got more with RZA when we come back to Wu Tang Tour. The final chapter. Tickets are on sale right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy We are the Breakfast Club. The RZA is here. Now that one album I can't remember his name that the gentleman bought. Martin Shkreli. Yeah, Martin Shkreli. Did you ever get that album back? Because I know there was a fight to get it back. Mm-hmm. Did you ever get it back? Not personally, but it's owned by a group of people called Pleaser Dow. It continues to increase in value and have its own life.
Starting point is 00:55:26 I mean, they bought it for like four million. And now there's people talking about like a whole another thing of what it could be. So it's kind of one of those things that have a life of its own. Are we ever going to hear that? Or that's part of the deal that they can never play it publicly? Actually, I'm striving now at this phase since we're you know at this age and kind of figure out something I mean the good thing was there was like not to be it can't be commercialized for 88 years Yeah, I mean so so it can't be sold. It can't be on it can't be commercial
Starting point is 00:55:56 It can't be commercialized streaming service. You could give it away. I told mr. Scorrelli that in the beginning I was like, yeah, cuz especially that just to give you a little backstory on that I met him before he became the most evilest man in the world. Remember they had like the most evilest man in the world. So I met him before he became Lex Luthor. You know what I mean? Straight up.
Starting point is 00:56:15 And you know we sat down and he was telling me, you know, I'm a woo fam, I love 50 Cent, I love hip hop, Rayquan, some of his lyrics have made me do business things and he had a whole plan. He was going to buy this Enigma machine, I don't know if you know what the Enigma machine is. Those are the decoding machines they used to make World War II when they had to figure out, in fact it led to the computer. So he wants and all the turning papers who's the guy who basically invented a computer. He was in the woo album. He was like, I'm gonna get all these things and he's
Starting point is 00:56:49 gonna do something. I said, okay, what the f*** you gonna do? But he had a plan. Like whatever he was gonna do, boom. And then when he went negative on him, like maybe a few months later, I saw it on TV. I saw him on the news. I said, I was telling my wife, yo, that's the guy that we selling the album to. I said the album to I wouldn't sell it to him. I said, oh no, it's already like a deal Even though it wasn't money didn't exchange hands. It was already a deal and was in contract form So I was a now I mean I sat down with him. I told him yes So now we it's at the day that he gets it and you know, he got a lot of security No, they kind of yes, I'm some big dudes with him

Starting point is 01:02:42 Remember that I mean that's some time ago, but once again talent Nobody knew this guy, you know, I mean we knew I mean I knew that y'all He's one of the dopest MCs on it on Staten Island while we was growing up Me and him always had tapes together like we had our tapes were circulating before we had tapes That's why he's like me and was of our name printed in the tablet under vets. He paid our debts from that years He was like we was already having tapes before the other brothers was doing their thing. But he comes out of the now and Ugar brings him to the crib and boom I was happy to see him. You know because Capadona his name at first was original legit. I mean original.
Starting point is 01:03:21 So I was like original you know what I mean? And he was like, yeah, you know, his slang is ridiculous. I mean, he's like, not Donna J. Burke. I said, what's that? And Kappa Donna. And there wasn't no Kappa Donna street on Staten Island yet. Like maybe five years later, there's like a Kappa Donna named after, I didn't know what Kappa Donna was. Who is your favorite MC in Wooten?
Starting point is 01:03:42 I mean, the Jizza is the head. I argue with people if you want to argue, and especially at that time. If you go and check the Jizza's lyrics and his catalog of lyrics, I don't think you're going to find no other MC that have given, that compared to him lyrically. I mean, I put Jizza as my favorite MC and the way that he approached the mic and the things that he's done. You think about labels back then. He's using every label but he's telling you a cohesive clear story. You know what I mean? With metaphors and wit and then he goes on to do it again with fame and then he goes
Starting point is 01:04:20 on and do it with Animal Planet. When he did it with Animal Planet which was crazy because he just used all the football teams and was talking about how the Jaguars against the Lions. I was like, yo, that's like, the Juzza is, he's deep, but it might take him like a year to write a verse like that. He won't write it like, like, Ray'll hit you, hit the pen and be done in an hour and his s*** be fly. The jizzer is like he's still working on it like he's like he got songs he's still been working on for 10 years because he he won't say it if he doesn't if he does something quick he'll do it just because he has to do it but that's not his best intention as an MC his intention as an MC is to to make it almost biblical or something almost
Starting point is 01:05:03 like everything is there's no filler, filler-ite. No words are filling the ideas, you know what I mean? What's the most underrated Wu-Tang song that you think deserves more love and that when y'all perform on tour, everybody just goes crazy? Well, depending where you're at, right? But I know one Wu-Tang song that definitely seemed like, I don't think New Yorkers ever even heard it,
Starting point is 01:05:22 Gravel Pit. Ooh. Of course, that was with the video, y'all dressed like the Flintstones and all that. Exactly, all the fur coats and all that, but man, overseas, you can play it twice in a concert. They love it. Yeah, but in New York, they don't play that. Somebody get mad, like ghosts, somebody start frowning at you, like, yo, who the **** do that? Yo, Mav! Mav like like I ain't doing my verse. What was it the video? You know what I think I was reaching I was like I attempted to make a song in
Starting point is 01:05:54 a realest way that was like poppy commercial for radio. Yeah I attempted yeah. But y'all never needed that. I know but I didn't know, here's the backstory of that song if I could share real quick. No that song was meant for Leah. So Leah yeah, we was in the studio You know we talked about it and I said I wouldn't have this whole Flintstone concept I'm gonna have you dressed up like like Betty yeah, like like pebbles But you know cuz a Leo's, you know, that's in great shape and all that. And I just had this whole plan. And she was like, yeah, we agreed.
Starting point is 01:06:26 And it just, you know, things went, yeah. So she was gonna sing over that beat and everything? Or was it just a, wow. Yeah, and I imagine her on it. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah, because it was more dancey and pop. I get what you're saying, okay. Word. Word.
Starting point is 01:06:42 Well, we thank you, appreciate you for joining us. The tickets are on sale right now for the Rue Chamber Tour. Final Chamber Tour with Run The Jewels.

Starting point is 01:06:52 Well, let's get to the message. Worldwide Master. On the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the message. Talk to me. Okay, so y'all remember the whole legal back and forth that Drake had happening in Texas
Starting point is 01:07:12 with like iHeart and he was alleging that Universal Music Group was paying money to iHeart over not like us. Universal Music Group was paying money to the radio stations, iHeart radio stations over not like us and boosting boosting the streams. So there have been reports that there was a alleged settlement between Drake and UMG When they came at a whole like airplay radio play not like us situation UMG So you originally he was alleging that UMG was paying I heart to play not like us more. Hey, hola Now there have been these reports that there has been a settlement so that this
Starting point is 01:07:45 is all over now. Right. And that's all that was out there, but Oh, so that would I heart. Yes. So there's a settlement with I heart. Yes. Now you're with I heart, but that is not what happened.
Starting point is 01:07:55 What happened? Well, we know nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertainment entertaining, but I need a DJ academics and all the Drake fan pages together around to get the truth,. To get the facts. It's simple. What Drake filed against I Heart wasn't a lawsuit. What he filed was a petition. It was a petition to try to make I Heart give a deposition. So Drake wasn't asking for money. He was asking for information. So I Heart could not have made a payment. I Heart could negotiate to give Drake documents or something else showing they didn't do anything wrong. Once
Starting point is 01:08:22 Drake received those documents and saw that there was nothing there, he could agree to drop his petition. And that's exactly what happened. Okay. He simply dropped his petition because after he saw what he needed to see, he realized I heart was not engaged in any of the actions that he was accusing them of in the story. And, and I know Drake fan pages won't run with that because it's not as entertaining as saying, you know, I heart seven with draled with Drake for money and Drake was right all along. But you know, no, your guy Drake simply dropped the lawsuit, dropped the petition because
Starting point is 01:08:52 there was nothing there. Yes. That is what happened. Now, speaking of not like us, the Oscars went down last night, the 97th Oscars, they happened, Academy Awards, I'm sorry, they happened in Hollywood at the Dolby theater. Conan O'Brien was the host and he is currently trending right now because of a Drake Kendrick Lamar related joke that he dropped halfway through the show. So let's take a listen to that joke real quick
Starting point is 01:09:20 Well, we're halfway through the show, which means it's time for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile Don't worry, I'm lawyered up. Well, how soon is he going to get him a petition or a letter? How soon is Conan going to get one? Okay. Now the show went down with over 23 different categories being announced. The most awarded films last night were Anora. They took home five Oscars. The Brutalist took home three, but Wicked took home two. They were actually nominated for 10 Oscars, but only won two. They won
Starting point is 01:09:50 one for best costume design, which was Paul Taswell. He is now the first black man to win an Oscar for costume design. Let's take a listen to him. This is absolutely astounding. Thank you Academy for this very significant honor. I'm the first black man to receive costume design award for my work on Richard. I'm so proud of this. Thank you, Mav and Emma, so much. Thank you, everyone in the UK, for all of your beautiful work. I could not have done this without you.
Starting point is 01:10:24 My Ozzy and Muses, Cynthia and Ariana, I love you so much. All the other cast, thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting me with bringing your characters to life. Yeah, so he joins Ruthie Carter, who was also a black woman to win an Oscar for Black Panther. Panther the Lo. Yep. And they also won, Wicked also won for Best Production Design. Now if Cynthia Erivo would have won the category
Starting point is 01:10:51 she was nominated for specifically, she would have unseated a few people for the youngest EGOT, like that Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, what's the T? Tony Award. Tony Award, yes. But she didn't win last night, so she didn't get that. I'm so stupid when she said what's the T? Tony Award. But she didn't win last night so she didn't get that. I'm so stupid when she said what's the T I was like you're supposed to be telling us. I thought you meant like the T like spilling the tea.
Starting point is 01:11:14 I know what you mean girl. But she didn't get that. But let me just tell y'all. They were supposed to sweep. They made it seem like Wicked was going to sweep this year. They were supposed to. Anour came in and took it though, but they did have such big moments.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo opened the show performing some of the songs from Wicked. And I'm gonna just tell y'all right now, when I tell y'all, you say the mic is on or not, Cynthia Erivo, she invented the mic at this point because she sounded so great live last night. Killed it, killed it, killed it. Yo, she sounded amazing.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Ariana Grande had to like sit back. Like it was, it just was like such her moment. I was like yo, she sounds amazing live that it's very hard to do They also did a tribute to Quincy Jones whoopie and Oprah came out and kicked off the tribute We don't have time to play the audio for them. But hey, yo, what we look good last night Yeah, I would look out looking at her. No disrespect. I was looking at her body. Her body look good Wow in good. Yes I'm talking about her shoulders like she just looked good. I Like the dress too. I didn't even cross my mind
Starting point is 01:12:26 Okay I like the dress too.

She made history as the... I seen Whoopi last night bro, I seen that. He put up pictures of Whoopi. Dang.
Starting point is 01:13:02 Jesus. I can't even get Zoe's... Well, salute to Zoe, she's from Queens and Jersey. You know, she's Dominican and Puerto Rican I think she's the best. She was your cousin? First Dominican. I gotta get this right. I can't. So she won last night So congratulations. Her mother was in the building. So she was happy to do that in front of her mother Yeah, she's the first Dominican American actress to win an Oscars award Her mom was in the building and she cried out for her mom. She came up looking for her mom. I thought that like tear-jerked me a little bit. You good? Did you see Zoe? Zodana last night? No, I didn't actually. Zoe's story is crazy. Her pops passed away when she was
Starting point is 01:13:35 younger in a car accident and her mother had to send her back to D.R. to put her in school while she worked and then brought her back over here and it was a tough and hard life. So the fact that she called out for her mom was amazing. So yeah. Y'all learned that during the Dominican history month in school while she worked and then brought her back over here and it was a tough and hard life so the fact that she called out for her mom was amazing. So yeah. Y'all learned that during Dominican history month in school? No we just learned that just now last night. It made us go look her up. I didn't know she was Dominican.
Starting point is 01:13:53 I'm talking to the Dominican. I'm not talking. See this was your problem. Representation matters and when the Dominican talking you won't let him finish the story about his fellow Dominican. You didn't even see them last night. You only saw Whoopi so don't talk about representation to me. That's right because I see black women.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Drop one of clues about who Whoopi Goldberg. Exactly. 69 years old looking good. You only saw her body though. Okay sir there's no Dominican in here. Red's Puerto Rican I'm black. You're black. She's black. You're Dominican. Yep and Zoey Zodana is as well Dominican she says she's the first she's the child of immigrant parents and first American of Dominican descent to win an Oscar so shout out to them as we wrap this on up. Salute to her.

I know a lot of men are gonna have some funny shit say out of their mouths. This guy say something you may not agree with doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey?
Starting point is 01:15:03 That donkey. That donkey. That donkey. Donkey that don't don't don't don't don't Don't hear today right here The breakfast club bitches you can call me the donkey of the day, but like I mean no harm Yes, don't hear today for Monday March 3rd goes to a man named Brian Steiner Brian is from Pennsylvania and he's a freaky-ass human 2020 vision God What do you mean? He's a 2020 vision God uncle Charlo Well, apparently times are very hard in the slums of Delaware County, Pennsylvania because this man Ryan Steiner was offering free glasses and
Starting point is 01:15:35 exchange for sexual acts Yes glasses face readers eyes spires magnifying marvels. Okay vision vanquishers. This man was bartering Optical for oral. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to six ABC news for the report, please. A Delaware County optician faces some serious charges. Police say he offered customers free eyeglasses in exchange for sex. Investigators say that 40 year old Brian Steiner, who worked at Philly vision care and full crop solicited sex from his customers.
Starting point is 01:16:02 They say in return he would give out free glasses and waive charges and copays. Steiner admitted to police he had received or performed sexual acts inside the business at least 30 different times. He wants asses for glasses? Now I was born in 1978, so I've heard of a lot of discounts in my day. Buy one, get one free, percentage sales,
Starting point is 01:16:22 early payment discounts, seasonal discounts, referral discounts, but discounts, referral discounts. But what I've never heard of is to bust it open for some bifocals discount. You want to get freaky for some frames? Brian, you're supposed to have a vision care plan, not a perverted rewards program. This is predatory on so many levels because you have to know who this will work on. You have to know that there are people who can't afford glasses. And the fact that you are preying on the financially challenged amongst us is what really makes me want to see you buried under the jail.
Starting point is 01:16:52 We are in an era where we should be attempting to help people if they aren't in the best position financially. But no, you out here taking advantage of people. And the irony of this situation is you work in an eyeglass store. Your whole job is helping people see clearly but you couldn't even see that this wouldn't end well. Do you know how financially desperate you have to be to want to give up sex for specs and for Brian to know these people were desperate and take advantage of that desperation? I don't even believe in heaven or hell but damn it if there is a hell please give this guy the hottest seat in the house
Starting point is 01:17:27 okay I have a rule and my rule is never trust people who will take advantage of others for their own benefit especially when the person actually could use your kindness Proverbs chapter 22 verses 22 and 23 says don't take advantage of the poor just because you can. I repeat don't take advantage of the poor just because you can. Self-explanatory. Okay, if you believe in hell Brian you go into it. Okay, and I'm going to tell you the sickest part of this story after the patients agreed to do the sexual favors for the glasses when he would give these visually impaired people the glasses he would play this
Starting point is 01:18:09 song oh my god it's sick world right that's how I feel please let me mark your Bryan sign of the biggest. He ha You stupid mother are you dumb you crazy sick that song with that story is crazy That's what happened. I know but it's just insane. I didn't make that's what happened. I don't make that up reading this news What Mac why is Mac in here? Why did you walk in this? It none about no Mac what's the problem? I was back smirk. I know, I just... Mac, what's the problem? I was back there talking to Eddie and I was just like...
Starting point is 01:18:49 Could you imagine the eye test? You cover one eye up and it's like read the first line and it's like, uh, D... D...I...C... BYE, BYE, GO GET OUTTA HERE. BYE, BYE, GO, RIGHT NOW, LEAVE. EXIT, EXIT STAGE LEFT PLEASE. BEEP BEEP leave. Exit, exit stage left please. Beep beep, stop. All right.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Could you go? Could you leave now? Thank you very much. The longer the eye test, the longer the duration. Like how did this? This is crazy. Y'all need to stop. All right, well thank you for that donkey today.
Starting point is 01:19:19 Yes indeed. All right now. Can you imagine the people that couldn't still see after they got the glasses didn't know what was going on. Thank you again for the donkey of the day. Let's reset guys. Come on. Come on. Woosah. Woosah. Woosah. Woosah. It's all you immature people. I am perfectly all right. Now, now when we come back, we got to send a rest in peace to Angie Stone and condolences to her family. Ne-Yo Soul, pioneer, hip-hop pioneer, R&B icon, South Carolina legend, man. The good sister Angie Stone came up here in 2019 and what I found so interesting about that conversation is she was talking about just how she wanted her life to be documented.
Starting point is 01:19:59 And she was talking about a movie that she was gonna be working on. A movie and document. So gonna we gonna replay that interview next All right, this is our Angie Stone when she was on a breakfast club in 2019 We're gonna get that on next. So don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club Guy we are the breakfast club. La Rosa is here as well. Now we're about to get on an interview we did with Angie Stone in 2019. Yeah, this was 2019, the good sister Angie Stone
Starting point is 01:20:34 came up here to build with us, man. And you know, this is the reason I love having conversations with people because it documents. We document so much. It documents their life. Interviews and lives. And they get to tell their own stories and you know She's no longer here with us, but she told a lot about her life
Starting point is 01:20:48 She told a lot about her career and you know, she talked about basically how she wanted her movie to play out All right, you know, that's what she was working on. Well, let's jump into it. Now. It's the breakfast cloak. Good morning How are you? I'm good. I can't complain. You know, I've been blessed for a long time 40 plus years in this business You already know. Yeah people I don't think people realize that Angie's one of the pioneers of rap The sequence your first female hip-hop go-go Yeah The first female group period to do an original rap record to do a rap record that garnered the world
Starting point is 01:21:19 Mm-hmm. We had our neighborhood rappers. We had our New York City rappers But sequence was the world's rappers And I think people get it twisted. Mm-hmm funk it up with the song. You up punk you up Well what he did it did an interpolation of it Funk it up. We're gonna town fungus funk you right on up. We're gonna funk you around. Oh same thing. Yeah We can pay no attention right now, but guess what? Yeah, well my turn he went in and we tried to do some stuff and of course because it's three group members and I've been Doing my thing for a minute. It kind of pulled the seams at who's with who and who's
Starting point is 01:22:05 down with who. I just say, you know what, let it rest because we're getting a lot of negative slack because a lot of people that don't know about the sequence or that song, we're getting a lot of negative slack because they're like, that don't sound like nothing. I'm like, they don't understand the interpolation process and how, you know, the reason we were upset because Bruno admitted that he it was influenced by the Wow, and he did that on Instagram and then somebody snatched it down, right? And yeah people do interpolation so they don't they don't sample so then they well, dr.
Starting point is 01:22:36 They did keep his ring. It was a direct rip from fuck you up. They did I mean we wrote the song We wrote the melody wrote the wrote the chant, we added singing to hip hop and now everybody's doing it, it's okay and I think it's wrong for them to try to overlook us because we're from South Carolina. I mean where'd that go with? Right. Nothing. So y'all didn't get paid from Dr. Drene either?
Starting point is 01:22:58 Yes we did. Okay, okay, okay. They did the right thing. And Bruno admitted it. Well we had, he admitted it. If he had kept that post up, boy you'd have got paid. But you know it's still there, everything that's been on the internet is still there. Well, the beauty of it is they admitted it, but the minute the elephant is brought out of the
Starting point is 01:23:13 closet, everybody runs because nobody wants to be labeled a thief. And we just say that I'm very honored. I got my girl blinded from the sequence here just as backup. Snoop was so excited to see y'all. Snoop was so excited to see y'all. Well, you know Snoop, I've worked with Snoop. He did. I want to thank you along with me and our jazzy fan back in the day, but he wants me to work with his daughter. He wants to work with my son. So we have a kindred spirit and LA hip hop was reminiscent to sequence funk, the whole funk era. So I just think overall people need to respect the fact that it is what it is. I think that you should be getting credit as a pioneer in female rap.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Like I don't think that's... Then y'all go gold? We went gold. We were the first group to go gold, sell 12 inch records. That means 12 inch records along with the Sugarhill gang. Toured the world pretty much. We never get the recognition. Of course, you know, that's probably platinum ten times over by now. Yeah, but We don't get the recognition because I think the New Yorkers got a little salty because you know, we made it at the starting gates I mean, it's like a race a marathon race. You're doing a full-forted relay you pass the time We end up at the finish line, hey, it's fair game. Word. You know what, nobody knows the story, because I'm a New Yorker and as deep in my head as in hip hop.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Maybe I know the numbers I can lie to. I had no clue. You know. I really had no clue. What, funk you up? No, I knew funk you up, but I didn't know that Sequence was the first group that pretty much go gold as a girl. But who did you think went gold first?
Starting point is 01:24:45 Salt and Pepper. Ooh, and we were 10, what, 10, 15 years before them? There used to be a thing, you probably wouldn't know this either, in Cashbox, called Cashbox and Billboard. If you do your research, it's there. We were the first female group, hip hop group, period, to make Cashbox. And Rolling Stone just did a big article on us because a lot of people that were back then, they knew why they getting any attention. And, you know, I just think it's sad because a lot of the females, hip
Starting point is 01:25:18 hoppers, and I trust me, I love them all. Big respect, props. But Lauryn Hill loves Angie Stone because it's reminiscent to what she did with her group. Rap, sing, and that's what we did. And you guys are all still cool with each other? Yeah. That's good. So it was never like a falling out with the group broke up? Who? With Sequence. Oh no, you know, you girl group, you have your Rat Pack moment, but we are sisters.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Right. And at the end of the day, we love each other. We look out for each other. We don't always agree. Of course not. I mean, nobody always agrees, but I decided to leave the group early on because I moved to New York. I learned a lot of stuff about songwriting.
Starting point is 01:26:02 I was a songwriter. And a brother named Craig Darry who used to be with the Sugarhill Click said you need to get out and go to New York, you're adventurous blah blah blah and I moved to New York and I learned a lot of stuff. Well let's start because this is a history lesson for a lot of us myself. So you signed to Sugarhill Gang. How did you get signed? How did you first of all, how did you get into hip hop? How did you get signed and how did you get your deal? Because it wasn't like before where it now is internet, it's TV, that's playing hip
Starting point is 01:26:30 hop, radio wasn't playing hip hop back then. Right. How did you get into it? Well, I'll tell you. Yeah, coming from Columbia, South Carolina, I was 16, 17, 18 years old. We had a group that was doing rap. Back then, King Tim III was out and we wrote a song called funk you up I think Sylvie Robinson came to South Carolina it was the first leg of the
Starting point is 01:26:52 first Sugarhill Gang tour okay the first show the first city we happened to be in the concert the role manager from Sugarhill Gang saw me and thought I was just a pretty chocolate chick. Hey, you want to come back and sing? And so I said, well, if you let me in, you got to let my friends in. That's right. So we all came in, got backstage. Sylvie was backstage. We was literally on the stage and we said, hey, we rap. And she said, well, let me hear what you got.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Right there on the side of the stage. On the side of the stage. And we went, funk you, right on up. We're the stage and we went funk you right on up we're gonna funk you brother and she flipped she said oh my god oh my god the next thing I know we were sitting in the dressing room giving out phone numbers she says I'm gonna make you girls star yes now we had already been a group I mean and you know being a cheerleader to see it Johnson writing cheers and creating stuff like that was what we did and
Starting point is 01:27:47 She called us the very next week Wow blew us to New Jersey And we cut the record funk you up and a couple of weeks later I thank you three weeks the record went golden Wow was it a fair deal or was they they take advantage of you? Did they take advantage of you? Of course they took advantage. They have no family. Did you have a lawyer? Well we did have a lawyer, but he was a South Carolina lawyer. So let's go.
Starting point is 01:28:14 We thought we were doing the right thing, but you know, one thing I've learned in life is you have to have experience. Sylvie Robinson, I give her mad props because quite contrary to what a lot of people think, you know, when you're the first at anything, you're going to make mistakes. So I lean heavily to that because she did something phenomenal that turned out
Starting point is 01:28:37 to be great for a lot of people, but you had to have some crash test done. Right. All right. That's part one of our interview with Angie Stone. If you want to see the full interview, you can hit up our YouTube page. Rest in peace, Angie Stone, condolences to her family. We're just getting on the interview we did with her in 2019.

And what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously. Hmm, pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche.
Starting point is 01:32:38 Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill-conceived, investigative hookups. Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And, as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup.
Starting point is 01:32:54 Now, take a big whiff, my brah. Listen to The Hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Hey, Ryder. Well, I'll tell you the blessing for me, I'm a Sag, and I think out the box. One of the things I always hated was when I saw groups that were from the 50s and 60s in the 70s and 80s still in the same uniform doing an old hit. I said, I never
Starting point is 01:33:27 want that to be me. So what I did was I learned to be a chameleon and I wanted to change with the times. So what I did was I kept myself around fresh, hotness and I learned. Everything in life is a learning process. The. We think we know everything we absolutely know that's right So I I learned to be a comedian and change with the times So the staying power has been number one my faith is unshakable in Christ I love the Lord and that's my rock my salvation so I Decided when when the music changed you changed you but you can't stray too far away from who you are. Right.
Starting point is 01:34:07 You have to be authentic. But it seems like you're such a great singer that it's like I can't see you ever doing anything else. I can't believe you even used to rap. What a beauty of that was when we got discovered as rappers. The first question I asked Sylvie Robinson is, is it okay if I sing too? Because I wanted to put a hook. You know, I wanted to sing.
Starting point is 01:34:23 So when you said, Hey you, I was begging to do that because I knew one day in life I wanted to sing from the church. So, I mean, I love rap, but I can sing too. So can we combine the two? And she's so excited about the rap. She's so, oh, honey, do what you want to do. Wow. And that, that, that is what kind of set the segue up for me to make the transition from after being 30 years old, you want to transition from hip hop to hooray.
Starting point is 01:34:49 So I just went ahead and started singing and kind of juggling. Now when I did my deal with Arista, the one reason you don't know a lot about the hip hop is one of the things that Clive Davis and Peter Edge wanted to do was say, okay, look, we don't want to date you. I'm like, I'm still young. What are you talking about? Things that Clive Davis and Peter Edge wanted to do was say, okay, look, we don't want to date you. I'm like, I'm still young. What are you talking about? Well, we don't want to talk about all that stuff at Sugar Hill.
Starting point is 01:35:09 So they kind of gag ordered me not to talk about it. So they wanted to bait just a brand new artist coming out. Right. Got you. And because I'm a singer now and they want to focus on that. And I'm like, I don't have a telescope into the future not knowing what it was gonna be how it's gonna be all I know is I'm in this game for survival. So what happens when people recognize you you pull up to a radio station
Starting point is 01:35:32 and they're like hey. Oh I rap on stage all the time. Okay okay okay. Yeah right she just wasn't talking about it in interviews like that. I couldn't talk about it in interviews and not that I didn't want to. I never heard of anything like that that they put a gag on it. I put a gag order. Well I'm using that word gag but when your boss tells you it was a gag order. Right. So what's your talk about how to make the music like how to do a 16 and do a hook and all that because you said you did. I self taught. Wow. Well I was hungry I was thirsty I was ambitious and I went I started it's like now I'm developing film and you know reality shows up is Having that bug to say I'm a rubber band you can stretch me, but I won't I'm always do me so you know being a rapper
Starting point is 01:36:17 Is a life lesson for me, but it hurts When you put over 40 years in the game and the people that are now eating off of the foundation that you created don't look back and say yo good looking that's why snoop shows us love that's why dodgy draene them show us love the people in la embrace us because yo yo can say hey mc like and say yo hey it's because of y'all that we're doing this she thanked me yo yo thank me we got a show our first show coming up with MC light and salt and pepper well and just don't I saw you know I got to bring girls go like that wrong in Philly so that's coming up and I'm excited about that it
Starting point is 01:37:02 has any the New York artists thank you city girls ain't never thank y'all No, they don't know But I promise you they will know because I'm actually getting ready to do working on a biofee That's what I was gonna ask. I saw you said is Jamie Foxx working on that too I was that you know Jamie and I work Jamie wants to do another film with me but Ralph Fox was who I'm working with who did Hollywood Husbands on the on the biopic and we're gonna have to cross all these lanes so I'm very excited about my journey and my career my life coming from hip-hop to neo so all the way up through my vertical
Starting point is 01:37:43 whole days and just having a bird's eye view like I'm gonna blow your mind. You ready for this? One of the things that I can't wait for the world to see is hip hop was in the Bronx. Before it ever came downtown, it was something in the Bronx. It was myself and Lil Rodney C that introduced hip hop to downtown. We did the first party of the show in the club that was called The Roxy. It used to be a skating ring. We made it into the club. It was Andre Harrell, myself with the sequence, the funky 4
Starting point is 01:38:19 plus one more, African Rambada. This was a show that my money paid for. Made the flyers for, put together, and henceforth hip hop moved from uptown to downtown, single-handedly, and it never changed. Madonna used to serve us drinks at Danceteria. That's how real it gets. Danceteria? So I can't, Danceteria. Danceteria.
Starting point is 01:38:40 Okay, that was a club that she was a waitress at. How do you remember her? Because she served me drinks. Wow, and you remember, like you, you, she had that type of presence? she was a waitress at. How do you remember her? Because she served me drinks. Wow. And you remember like you she had that. Waitress I was a performer there. What she did she say you know I'm an aspiring singer also. No, she didn't have to say that she was working she was just you know, sometimes people will do that they'll be like, but I'm just giving you shine a little light on stuff. because a lot of people when they disrespect the sequence They disrespect the culture of hip hop because they don't even know how they got from uptown to downtown
Starting point is 01:39:12 And when you overlook the fact that hey little Ronnie C and Angie B Booked this show paid everybody. Mm-hmm for the show and henceforth The wild-style movie that's I Freddy. He'll tell you all these people know Mm-hmm for the show and here's for us the wild style movie bad five Freddy He'll tell you all these people know so when you overlook that you overlook a movie It's not just about the one song you have to look at the legacy of what hip-hop really stood for back then and the Sacrifices that were made and I can't wait for the story. Yeah when I think of like sugar hill gang I'm like, there's no reason for anybody to ever mention sugar hill records and Not mention sequence. Thank you. Yeah, I don't understand. We were the sugar hill girls. They called us there, but we wrote all their hits. Yeah
Starting point is 01:39:52 Apache, 8th wonder, all those songs we wrote those songs. Really? We were the West Street mob. That less dance. I know you got the theme That's the sequence. Mm-hmm. We all getting paid? Yeah. Good money or just? No. Okay. We all getting paid? Yeah. Good money or just? No. Okay. Is the movie gonna be, do you know where it's going to be? Is it gonna be on like a BT series or is it gonna be in the theater? It will be, it won't be just one episode, it'll be a series, a mini series. It spans too far talking about 1979 up until today and just releasing an album that's Already my single drop and it was straight to number two. Oh, sorry Oh, so my my it's a reason for everything. I think God preserved this time for us to get the story, right? So, you know, have you found somebody to play you yet for the biopic? I got some ideas That's my ideas couple of people that are really really I'm interested in. I know one segment of Angie Stone is on. Your daughter gotta be in it. Of course. But the young lady that used to be Bernie Mac's daughter. Oh yeah. We
Starting point is 01:41:00 appreciate you for joining us. Yes thank you. Well Angie Stone thank you for joining us. Thank you. It's Angie stone. Thank you for joining us. Thank you Angie stone. It's the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club Warning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club long la Rosa filling in for Jess and let's get to the mess On the breakfast club mess. Well, why not? On the Breakfast Club, the coaches with Lauren Lauren LaRosa. Okay, so there's some more happening now because of the interview that Jim Jones did when he was up here at the Breakfast Club. Cameron has actually responded to Jim Jones. Now Jim Jones talked about a couple things. He talked about
Starting point is 01:41:51 wanting to fight Kim for 10 million dollars and then he also talked about the versus situation with Kim and the rest of the set. Let's take a listen to Jim Jones on versus. I need triple what I had last time where we put that versus on fire too. We had that thing looking like a championship game. Yeah, Swiss holla at me and you back door me gave that man some business that you ain't give all of us. You definitely got to give me triple Swiss and you got to give me some real business this time yeah I wanted the bag but we got the bag but boys still went back door like yo for us it's for me to do the verses you got to give me part of this business that had nothing to do with us you heard but he
Starting point is 01:42:18 say that's me being a business man not as you being a sucker doing back door when you went the camera about that he said that like it's just me being a businessman no Swiss told me how to tell Swiss I know what was going on Jack call Swiss on the line they tell you I did bad you know how did you find out about it then because I found out about a lot so Kim has responded he responded two ways he posted to Instagram he posted some text messages between him and Jim and the text message basically are to sum it up It's Jim saying that you know verses was on his bucket list and that essentially he would do it for free just to touch the Stage because it does so much for the artists that touch the stage, right?
Starting point is 01:42:54 So Kim's caption says I don't pay half of the stuff that people say no mine, but you know I keep the files you wanted to do verses for free So if you made a dollar be happy talking about it was on your bucket list stop stop trying to rewrite history. Now you got a lost in the garden in the bar the barclays with the laughing emojis and y'all not eat and your homies not eating unless they came with their own bread. The boy sugar did I got more money than you and let's bet 10 m's on that. Go get handsome a car and a crib and Jersey or something. I'm done for now. So then it is what it is aired this morning. This actually aired about I would say like 20, 30 minutes ago and Kim indirectly or kind
Starting point is 01:43:31 of directly but just doesn't say Jim's name throw some more shots there. Well, let's take a listen to that. I had a tour for us locked up for the locks and dips. Mace always says, yo, don't bring this out with you because they're not going to win if you bring this out with you. Talk they're not going to win if you bring this out with you. So my football games, basketball games, and I'll be sitting here like, I don't really know. But then I got it when the fight went on,
Starting point is 01:43:53 when you got that type of energy and you breathe in that energy, when everybody's sad and mad and depressed and try to look happy, but they're not really happy, it gets into you. The people you win could possibly your energy up for some shit depressed and try to look happy but they not really happy it gets into you. The people you win could possibly f*** your energy up for some s*** that you're supposed to do. You can't come out with that energy man. It's bad energy man.
Starting point is 01:44:14 You gotta have greatness with you. I remember we was talking about the Eagle game and I said if Meek Mill walked them out they're not gonna win a championship. Meek didn't walk them out they ended up winning that championship. This is what f*** the Lions up. When you bring out Jello. Jello not from Brooklyn and them n****s wasn't from Brooklyn.
Starting point is 01:44:30 Well how do you catch a straight? Yo Meek caught a crazy straight, right? And you talking about Jello, Jello? Because G3 performed at the Lions, the game. Play-off game, Lions playin' on here. I don't even remember that one. Yeah, they tried to blame it and say
Starting point is 01:44:42 that's why he lost. So what Ken- That's how the Lions lost, they said. Yeah, that's how he lost so what can lions lost they said yeah That's how the Lions lost what Cameron is alluding to is the fact that you wells Santana and Jim Jones walk Gervonta tank Davis out the fight that just happened with Lamont roach over the weekend at the Barclays Center And a lot of people online were saying hey you lost because you walked out with such and such jokingly But cam brought that to it is what it is. So that's what he's talking about now. I hate them brothers fight, man. I hate seeing them brothers fight.
Starting point is 01:45:07 Yeah, I hope Jim and Cam find some peace. Entertaining, but I just hate it. I hope Jim and Cam find some peace or some closure. Meaning they either find a way to be at peace with each other or they find some closure on their relationship. Cause I hate it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:20 Like they were brothers, like they were crew. We watched it. Yeah, we seen it. Like I said, it's entertaining, but I hate seeing this for them too I agree and I did want to play this on the this other audio that we have a camera He sat down with us Steve stout and he talked about exactly what he did when he came to negotiate in the verses Do I just want to play this is cuz kind of like clearing that up a bit Let's take a listen to that. I had a tour for us locked up for the locks and dips set, literally lined up. And it was about at the time, maybe like two and a half million dollars. If I'm not mistaken, I noticed a few years ago, Jim really wanted to do the
Starting point is 01:45:52 versions and I'm like, bro, we can do the versions after the tour. Yo y'all and I got two and a half million dollars waiting. And that was just for like 10 cities. It could have ballooned up to like $6 million. I got out voted Steve. Nobody was f**ed up to like $6 million. I got outvoted, Steve. Nobody was f***ing listening to me about the tour. So what I said to myself was I told Swizz and Timbaland, I said, everybody gotta get at least six digits.
Starting point is 01:46:13 That's a artist. Got everybody their money, and I started piling my own s***. I want the door money. I want stocks and Trilla. I want beats from Timbaland and Swizz for free. I want percentage of the views that's gonna go on and I got all that.
Starting point is 01:46:29 So basically he, the way that it sounds to me is like, you know, they missed the tour. So that he was just trying to make what he could off of them doing the versus situation or whatever. But yeah, to y'all point the back and forth with them is kind of crazy, especially the shots at the park. I'm like, dang. Does this still happen if Divset wins against the locks
Starting point is 01:46:48 on that fateful versus night? Yes. I don't think so. I think so. You think so? I don't. I think so. Why you think so? I don't think they were seeing eye to eye even during that night. I just think they did it because-
Starting point is 01:46:58 The versus story has a lot to do with all of this. You do realize that. Like we played three clips just now and two of them were about verses. But you know this happened before that, they weren't seeing eye to eye before verses. I feel like something else happened that night that really set it off forever.
Starting point is 01:47:15 We talked about that in the interview too, I asked him like, yo, it seems like y'all at least cordial publicly before the verses a little bit, then verses happened and it was like shots just everywhere coming from each side. Well Jim also said that in our conversation. He said, and I'm paraphrasing here, he was like, he can't get over getting booed at the garden.
Starting point is 01:47:30 Oh yeah, the camera couldn't get over that. But it gotta be more than that. I thought it was the conversation when Cam interviewed 50 and that's what I thought reunited it, because before that, you know, they weren't seeing out eye, but it was quiet. But after that interview, fireworks. I mean, big fireworks happened.
Starting point is 01:47:43 You mean reignited. You mean reignited, yeah. For the public. The fireworks were happening so fireworks, I mean big fireworks. I mean reignited. Yeah The fireworks were happening so much. I just you I don't know that did hey man I wish them brothers peace man our closure one of the two and leave me leave me alone for me I need to know the back I don't know. I don't make mine is business Yeah, it's uncalled for me Already Can't hear that yet. Mm-hmm All right, that's it. All right. Well, that was the mess. All right.
