DJ Drama got an album that comes out this Friday. Name of the album is I'm Really Like That. So we're going to be kicking it with drama. And then we got front page news next.

Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Now, Lunel, our guest host is here.

We have Teslin Figaro on the line. The hood whisperer, Teslin Figaro. What's happening, Breakfast Club family and queen, Lunell, our guest host is here. We have Teslin Figaro on the line. The hood whisperer, Teslin Figaro. What's happening, Breakfast Club family and queen, Lunell? Yes, ma'am. And for all you baseball fans, today is opening day. So I know there's a lot of people that's excited about opening day. I know the Yankees play today. I know the Mets play away.

So shout out to all the baseball fans. I play Dodgers girl myself, of course. The players back on steroids yet? No. Oh, okay. Well, I'll watch when they get back on steroids. No. Dodgers girl myself, of course. The players back on steroids yet? No. Oh, okay. Well, I'll watch when they get back on steroids. No. That's when the league is good.

Now, Tez, I asked you yesterday about the assault rifle ban. I think it happened in 2004. You said you would have some updates for us today. Yes, I did. You asked that question, DJ Envy, and I wanted to go back and dig a little bit more into it to make sure that we're giving our listeners accurate information. So the timing of answering that question is right on time, because actually yesterday, Representative Jamal Bowman and Representative Thomas Macy got into a shouting match over gun violence. So before I get into answering your question, let's listen to their exchange. Freaking cowards. They're gutless. We're not here. I'm talking about gun violence.

School that allows teachers to carry. Carry guns? You think more guns lead to more death? Look at the data. You're carrying the water for the gun lobby. Nine-year-old children. The solution is not arming teachers. Have you ever worked in a school? Have you ever worked in a school? Have you ever worked in a school? Have you ever worked in a school? I worked in a school for 20 years. I was a teen. I was a student before you came and interrupted me.

Try it. You can't even answer a yes or no question. Answer. Why would they pass legislation? Why? Answer this question. Ask him right now. Make him answer.

Dropping a clues bomb for Congressman Bowman. Congressman Bowman is acting how I wanted President Biden to act. Show some passion. Get angry. Call out the Republicans who are in bed with these gun lobbyists. That's what I wanted President Biden to do. He ain't got that much energy. Yeah, he absolutely went went knock if you buck so um just to and so to give

some more uh insight on uh the gun uh weapons ban that uh demi dj envy asked about on yesterday uh president bill clinton signed the public safety and recreational firearms use protection act it was commonly called the federal assault weapons, which was a part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. Now, the ban was a law for about a decade, expiring in 2004, as DJ Envy mentioned on yesterday. And it included prohibiting the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-autic weapons. Now, the act also banned magazines that could accommodate 10 rounds or more. You would also ask if it reduced any of the crime, and the answer for that has been debated, but the National Institute of Justice indicated that there was a drop by 17 percent in at least

six cities of gun crimes involving automatic weapons. And it's also important to note that when they came up with this policy, it was a result of a mass school shooting in 1989 in Stockton, California. And so once that shooting happened, five children were murdered, 28 were injured, and the shooter at that time was armed with a AKS rifle, a semi-automatic version of the AK-47. So for those that think school shootings just started, that's not the case. And when that happened in 1999, it's what made them do this assault ban.

And unfortunately, it just expired and they were never able to get the votes to put it back into place. And you know what else? As you know, Congressman Bowmanman they were going back and forth i guess the the other guy said that teachers should you know be allowed to carry guns right and like i'm not i'm not saying that it should be mandatory for teachers to have to carry guns what i'm saying is since clearly no legislation is going to be passed and since clearly president biden says he can't do anything without congress and those republican senators aren't going to be moved to do anything because you know they're in bed with

the gun lobbyists i'm saying if you're already a gun owner if you have a gun in your house if you already carry if you train and you want to bring your gun into school as a teacher you should be able to have that option that's what i'm saying right that's right and i'm saying and just again for clarity more than one thing can happen at the same time so again training uh armed guards i believe should be at every door and on the outside. There was also a report that having armed guards just on the inside is not enough. You need people on the outside that are actually patrolling. In addition to being trained, like DJ Envy was talking about and you were talking about, and I also support bulletproof windows.

And not just because she shot out the first, the shot out uh the window of the doors coming in but what people don't understand as a substitute teacher they train us to lock the doors but there's glass on every door so people could just shoot that window out put their hand through and unlock the door so i've always talked about how do we you know what about you know bulletproof glass what can be some other things that can happen besides just lock because that's really just what the protocol is now lock the door but what happens if you shoot through the door we're crazy we live in a world like this but let me ask you a question how was bill clinton able to get that bill passed so fast and get it through congress and it seems like in the last 10 years nobody

can because he had the right elected officials in congress who also agreed with that and also it was a part of remember when democrats were showing they were tough on crime now you know i could really unpack that so when it was about tough on crime remember when Democrats were showing they were tough on crime? Now, you know, I could really unpack that. So when it was about tough on crime and, you know, the 94 crime bill, this was an attachment to that, that they included in that. So the main thing was about locking folks up. And so they were able to, you know, make it an attachment. And they barely got it passed, by the way.

We could have a whole segment on that alone, but it was attached to a larger issue, which was tough on crime. You know what's so crazy history gonna repeat itself especially coming up with uh because you know next year both parties are gonna be the tough on crime parties so it's gonna be some type of tough on crime bill that maybe maybe common sense gun reform possibly would be attached to that i could see maybe them voting that in i doubt it because it's like what you said the month yeah no they'll be tough on crime but it won't be but it won't have to do with these assault weapons.

Nah, it's too much money now. Unfortunately. Damn. Well, thank you, Tez. We appreciate you. We'll see you next hour. Bye, Tez. Absolutely.

All right. Bye-bye. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Be somebody in Congress that loses one of their kids and what they're going to say. Man, I think about that all the time. I'm like, yo, do these people have young kids or young grandkids? Like, where do they kids go to school that they're not concerned about this issue? You know what I mean? And not even just school, by the way.

We're talking about mass shootings. These mass shootings happen all the time, not just in schools. You know what I mean and not even just school by the way we're talking about mass shootings these mass shootings happen all the time not just in schools you know what I mean well you know even with the gun laws like it intrigues me

with the gun laws because they change so much and they don't tell people how they change like it just it's very intriguing like even when you hear about the certain devices

that they sell online that can make a semi-automatic fully automatic and how that's illegal but how they can still people can still buy it or silencers how people can still buy it but it's illegal even those ghost point bullets and ghost guns all those things that people can still purchase and buy and get but it's supposed to be so illegal and these things are really affecting our community hello

who's this it's tim how you doing what up tim get it off your chest. Man, first of all, I want to say it's a pleasure to talk to Greatness on the phone. I've been listening to y'all for the last two years. Man, it's just a bit of different knowledge that I give people. Man, and what I want to get off my chest is while people here, we just need to make sure we tell them how we feel no matter what the situation is because you don't never know when somebody's going to die.

There's something going to come up that you're not going to get that opportunity to let them know how you feel. So while we're here, we need to do that. And Charlamagne, man, hey, man, all the knowledge that you give the people on the radio and DJ Envy and I miss Anthony Yeagne, man, hey, man, all the knowledge that you give the people on the radio and DJ Envy and our best, Anthony Yee, man, it's wonderful. Well, thank you, brother.

We appreciate you. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. All right, let's get it off your chest. I just want to send a shout out to somebody that helped me out recently. If you're looking for a passport, and I know the passport office sometimes has three to six month uh delays and three six three to six month wait times uh write down his instagram it's fly fly 365 travels fly 365 travels uh it's a black owned company and this woman was able to get me an appointment within a day so if you ever if you ever go to a passport maybe your passport expired maybe you

need a passport like i said wait time is three to six months so if you need a passport now i don't have anything to do with this company i found her i paid her and she got my passports immediately so i just want to shout her out and put my people on to it again it's at fly 365 travels all right if you need a passport she got it done quickly And I just want to say thank you to her And it wasn't that expensive Everybody was charging supercalifragilisticexpialidocious money And she wasn't like that Black owned

So make sure you go support her If you do need your passport So I just want to say appreciate to that young lady That's very important Yeah, very important She got me through Word Hello, who's this?

Hey, this is Saint I'm not as real Hey, what's up, brother? Get it off Word. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Saint from Nashville. Hey, what's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Hey, how y'all doing, man? I just wanted to say, hey, I'm a big fan of you guys. And just to capitalize on this, the tragedy we had yesterday and what last week in Nashville. First, I want to say, y'all need to focus on these white terrorists and call them for what they are for hurting these

babies out here, man. People need to really just reiterate all their things about that every single day, bro. And to an energy to everybody. Charles, I'm a big fan. Thank you, brother. You will. Y'all have a good day, man. Good morning. Peace, King. Thank you, brother. You will. You have a good day, man. Good morning.

Peace, King. Thank you, brother. I've thought about that, too. What's that? I was like, it's not just the guns. It's something wrong and broken with these young white boys. Absolutely. Because they're the ones that are doing all this. And, you know, I don't know if it's related to the insensitivity that happens with playing these video games and squeezing on guns and blowing people's heads off and seeing them pop back together and not being able to differentiate between reality and fantasy.

But something is wrong with these young white boys that they sitting around plotting to go off the school. I think it's not even a different dynamic. I think it's social media too. It's not even a different dynamic. I think it's social media too. I think the fact that a lot of these young boys are hurt. You know what I mean? And I think social media is making it worse with bullying. It's making it worse. Like you say, remember back in the day,

you get bullied or something happened to you. The next day it was over because nobody knew about it. It was just in that little circle. It was just in your school. But now you got millions and thousands of nationally exactly even though the statistics showed it I'm sure is a gendered thing but you know let's keep in mind the person this week was a biological woman transgender you know what I mean so it's just about people

who are but she was in pain she was hurt we saw that when with the text messages she sent her friend so yes there is uh something wrong with these individuals but that's why we need more mental health services in a bunch of communities biological man i thought she was a woman man woman i thought it was a man no just into a female no it was biological woman Positive. I would check that. No, I'm positive. Okay. I would check it. No, I'm not sure about that. I'm still going to run with the broken white boy thing.

Because even if this transgender person did this, that's one out of 128 school shootings you've had this year. No, I agree. I disagree with you. I agree that these people are just broken, period, though. When I saw the text message, she said to her friend. Young white boys. Yes, I agree. But I think it's a lot of broken are just broken, period, though. Like, when I saw the text message, she said to her friend. Young white boys. Yes, I agree, but I think it's a lot of broken people out here, period. It is, but the school shooters are young white boys.

Most mass shooters are young white men, yes. No, all of them. I don't know if it's all of them. The other one wasn't with an Asian man in California a couple of months ago. But did he shoot up a school though? Nah, but it was a school I'm talking about the school shooting Yeah

I don't know the statistics Hello, who's this? What up, it's Lenny Lenny, what's up? Get it off your chest Hey, first off Good morning, Charlie man Good morning, Henry

Good morning Listen The food service industry is trash Can't go anywhere and get a decent meal. The lobbies are closed, and they don't want to serve truck drivers. What's up with that? I didn't know that. They don't want to serve truck drivers.

That's where some of the best food is, is a truck stop. Oh, no, man. You go to these fast food restaurants, and they're, oh, we're drive-thru only. I can't fit in drive-thru. Oh. And they won't let you order at the window. I used to hate that, you know, when I was a kid going to school, right? And they used to do that all the time.

But I was the same thing. Like, as a kid, we didn't have cars. So there was no drive-thru. And they wouldn't let you inside. And we would try to walk around McDonald's back in the day or walk around White Castle. And they wouldn't let you walk around. But they wouldn't let nobody inside. It was stupid as hell.

But I feel for y'all. Exactly. It sucks, man. It's terrible. Damn it, man. Well, sorry let you walk around. But they wouldn't let nobody inside. It was stupid as hell. But I feel for y'all. Exactly. It sucks, man. It's terrible. Damn it, man. Well, sorry for you, brother. It's all good, man. Y'all have to do it.

Wait, but bro, you in your truck now? Yes, sir. Come on, blow that horn for me, brother. Yeah. There you go. There you go. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Lunel, you ever did that when you were on the highway and you see the truck drivers and you make a little... Lunell definitely blew a trucker before. I didn't say blow a trucker. I meant make the trucker blow the horn. What? I've never blown a trucker except for when I was dating a trucker. And I have had sex in the

big rig because I got the sleeper compartment. And I have flashed before and then they and then they honk their horn like that. You don't have to flash them though. You do that because you wanted to. Oh, they told me wrong.

Jesus Christ. They told me wrong. Get it off your chest. I got it off my chest. When we come back, Soulja Boy, he apologizes to New Jersey. We'll play it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. Alright, I'm gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on the Breakfast Club, this is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on the Breakfast Club. Now, Soulja Boy made a comment about New Jersey.

Do we have that comment? The original comment he made? Suck my. Y'all ain't gonna never make it out the hood. Y'all d*** gonna die broke. I wouldn't have dinner with y'all d*** a's and fisted hoes anyway. I would not have dinner

Y'all ain't gonna never touch a million dollars me y'all gonna die in the hood y'all gonna die broke y'all ain't gonna never touch a million dollars all right y'all ain't gonna never touch 30 million all right first of all you don't let pastor soldier get on that pulpit and then try to run

past the soldier off the pulpit now well well you know i guess soldier boy thought about it and then called back and he got back on live and wanted to apologize to new jersey there's a lot of amazing things in new jersey. I live in New Jersey. Charlotte lives in New Jersey. I love Jersey. So he called back. He went back on live, and he apologized to New Jersey, which I think was very honorable.

Honorable. I'm on live right now to shout out to all my fans in New Jersey. I felt like yesterday I overreacted on the video. I ain't even watched the video. I just seen the caption that this was put in and I went live and went off. See, look, I'm trying to be nice. He's talking about you banned from New Jersey.

Hey, who the New Jersey? We were coming, bloody. That's what I'm saying, man. Suck my. All y'all fans, double XL and no jumping and Worldstar and SATs and academics and all y'all. I ain't squashing. Suck my.

We don't wanna come to New Jersey anyway. Y'all is broke. I don't particularly care for Mr. Boy. Mr. Boy? Mr. Boy. Why you don't like Young Soulja? He just, I mean, I don't have to like him. He give a damn about me, I'm sure. Yeah.

But he's just not any kind of example of an artist that I would support or a person. Yeah. He's a loose cannon. And he's too much. The funny thing about him, he's actually a good kid. I find Soulja Boy highly entertaining. He's very entertaining. He's a good kid.

And Soulja Boy is very intelligent. He knows what he's doing. Well, he's generational. Yeah, he knows what he's doing. Because I wouldn't care if I never heard his name again. But I want people in New Jersey to use that as more.

That was one of the words you couldn't use. Okay, they don't have nothing to prove to the damn Soulja Boy. Dang it. Dang it. It's back. But the funny thing is

when I hear that, I really feel like when I first heard No Scrubs by tlc or when i heard get up get out and get something by outcast i'm like i'm gonna go make something of myself i'm not gonna let this man be right city the city can't be concerned about it's a state right my bad the state can't be concerned about what the heck soldier you're absolutely right but if that did uh bother you in any way and you from Jersey,

just use it as motivation to prove him wrong. Absolutely. No, find Soulja Boy and put your foot in his behind. Now that ain't on the list to not say. That might happen too. Yeah, that might. And then now they're gonna say Soulja Boy, that fat old lady on

the record store was talking about you. And did. Now we gotta talk about a sad story. They told you where that fat old lady on the breakfast table was talking about you. And then? Now we got to talk about a sad story. That was sad, too. Jesus Christ. Now, shout out to one of my attorneys. His name is Steve Adad. He called me about this case a couple of days ago.

He's a dope attorney. If you ever need an attorney, anything ever happen to you and you need some protection, some backing, he will make sure that he protects you, backs you, and gets you the money that you need.

I got some boys that protect you and back you too. Legally, I mean. Oh, well. Legally. Oh, okay. Now am I correct?

Go ahead. Them boys gonna need Steve if you keep sending them on these dummy missions. Yeah, they gonna need Steve. So Flo Rida, a six-year-old son, is in ICU after falling from a

five-story window that's horrible man now uh what they're saying that happened is uh when i spoke to him so i'll say allegedly because you know i was in and out when he was telling me uh the mother of the young boy uh her name is alexis uh they live in new jersey jersey city and the building that they were living in i guess guess she wanted bars on the window because she said her son runs around and he's young and they need bars on the window. So they went to install the bars. I'll say allegedly,

because I don't know the full story. They went to install the bars, but the window, let's say, was a two-foot window and the bar was only one foot. So it was still room for the young boy to fall out. It was the fifth floor and the boy. So, it was still room for the young boy to fall out. It was the fifth floor. And the boy fell out.

That was horrible. So, the guards weren't put on right. It wasn't the right guards. And thank God that the young boy did not die. He suffered a shattered pelvis, fractures, problems with his liver, internal bleeding, and collapsed lungs. So, now... He's alive. He is alive. Thank God. Usually when you hear that, the child usually

doesn't make it. So there was like this grace of God that he fell five stories, hit the pavement, and did not die. But he's pretty banged up now. So now they are filing a lawsuit with Jersey City's building management to make sure that this doesn't happen to anybody else out there again. I mean, that's an easy

call if they didn't have the proper measurements in the window, right? If it's supposed to be two feet and it was only one foot. I'll say allegedly, because this is the story I heard. I'll just say allegedly. I'm not sure the details of the case, but the boy fell out the window and obviously those guards weren't put on right. Well, I lived in a studio apartment for many years before

I got my house. My daughter lives in the studio now. And when I when I and we don't have house. My daughter lives in the studio now. And when I when I and we don't have didn't have central air in the studio. I like to sleep with the windows open when I knew my daughter was going to come home from college. And they're there. I put bars on that building myself. You know, I asked him could I do it? They said yes. So you hired somebody to do it. I'm sure did. Okay, because the night stalker that used to be in L.A. used to just slit the screen and come in and rape you. And I knew my daughter was going to be in there, and I couldn't wait for the building to do it. So I put the bars on the three windows myself.

Yikes. What is the night stalker? I never heard that story. Yes, you have, Chad. He was a serial killer. In L.A.? Yeah. Yeah, I never heard of him. I never heard of him. I guess it's regional. Yeah, you have, Jeff. He was a serial killer. In L.A.? Yeah. Yeah, I never heard of him.

I never heard of him. Oh, well, you know, I guess it's regional. Yeah, I'm sure. Well, yeah, that's what happened. So not to say that that's what they should do, but you could have done that. You could put him on there yourself. Yeah. Instead of waiting for...

Surprised that, you know, a building like that didn't follow the right protocol to make sure that that child was safe or any children were safe, you know? You know, I just pray that that young man has a speedy recovery. Absolutely. Definitely sending him healing energy. And I hope that, you know, they get compensated. Absolutely. You know, if the building did actually do something wrong. Yeah.

Well, wait a minute now. So you say, okay, if this is a slow rider, baby mama, and she's probably living in a nice building. I would assume. Well, what they need bars for anyway? For the kid to fall out well you gonna put bars on every building well it is Jersey

do you need me to play soldier boy again well it's not that type of bars it's not the bars protection bars it's the thing that they put on the window

so the kid can't fall out it's not protection bars I didn't know that I thought you were talking about protection bars I only know about one kind of bars it's not protection bars

when you're in the hood they put the protection bars that's what I thought you were talking about protection bars, too. I only know about one kind of bars. It's not protection bars. When you're in the hood, they put the protection bars. That's what I thought you were talking about, too. No, no, no. In apartment buildings, they put these things in the windows so the kids can't fall out. So I used to stay at my grandmother's house in Starry City, and they would put these things so you can't push out, so the kids can't lean on it and fall out. The kids can't open the window and fall out.

Got you. So there's these, like, children protection bars that they put on these buildings to protect the kids from falling out. All I know is how to keep a fool out your... No, no, no. Not that type. It's a fifth story. Nobody's going to climb up five stories to get in a building.

You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised. Especially if there's fire, kid. All right. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. When we come back, we got front page news and DJ Drama will be joining us next hour. So don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Check out the new movie Spinning Gold. The true story behind Casablanca Records. The most successful independent record label ever that gave us artists like Gladys Knight, Bill Withers, and Kiss.

It's the greatest story never told with an unbelievable soundtrack. See it in theaters. Spinning Gold. March 31st. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Charlamagne Th guy we are the breakfast club we have our special guest host lunel with us today and it's time for some front

page news good morning tess good morning breakfast club family and queen lunel in the building good morning now let's jump right into it uh what's going on with these uh la undercover police officers now it seems like they were their uh names were posted online in pictures or something like that? Yes. I've been wanting to talk about this for a couple of days because I want to know where the Breakfast Club family, how they feel about this. So the Los Angeles police chief

and the department's constitutional policing director are under investigation after the names and photographs of undercover officers were released to a watchdog group that posted them online. Now, the watchdog group Stop LAPD Spying Coalition posted more than 9,300 officers' information and photographs last Friday in a searchable online database. Now, the coalition believes that the database should be used for counter surveillance. They say that you should use it to identify officers who are causing harm in your community. And they went further to say that police have vast information about all of us at their fingertips.

But yet they move in secrecy. Now, the problem with the release is that it also included undercover officers so the LAPD chief Michael Moore offered his deep apologies to the undercover officers and because they were not given advance notice of the disclosure so I wanted the family to tap in on the comments and let me know do you think we should have police under counter surveillance will you guys think yes but I the undercover officers. Yeah, but I don't know what it's going to do because, I mean, you have police officers wearing cameras, body cameras now, and they still violate people. Yeah, they turn them off. So, I mean, like, what is that going to do just because they're under surveillance? We need more snitches.

I mean, I think you have to be careful when it comes to undercover police because you definitely don't want the information out there. My dad was an undercover police officer. And then he before he retired, he started working in Internal Affairs. And if you don't know what Internal Affairs is, they are the bureau to follow cops. So he would have to drive around and follow undercovers. And he would have to drive around and follow police officers to see if they were doing dirty things. And, you know, he would make a case on those dirty cops. But I would say that, you know, their stuff should be protected.

Like my dad's stuff was protected, you know what I mean? And nobody would know he was police officer unless I said it. But, you know, he's retired now. But, yeah, I think those bureaus definitely need to follow those undercover cops to make sure they're doing the right thing. So define surveillance a little more, Ted. Because maybe I'm thinking surveillance the wrong way. Yeah, well, just keeping track of who is who. And one of the things that we're constantly talking about, especially when we talk about the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act on the federal level,

is having databases that actually keep up with cops, keep up with incidents, keep up with things that they're doing. So some type of tracking. And so since that's not happening on the federal level level sometimes it does happen on the state or the local some cities like for example in houston um they've implemented you know a public database that at least keeps up with you know cops prior convictions or things that you may need to know about a police officer so this is just something that's saying hey if police if they are aware that the public knows who they are and what they do and be able to say hey that's a good cop or a bad cop. You know, will that help deter some of the police brutality?

And so there's been some apps out there actually made by some independent folks that have put apps together that kind of keeps up with community, you know, police. And so you have a little bit more information about them. So it's a deterrent on a larger issue of police brutality. Yeah, I think everybody's reservation followed him, but it's not going to change nothing because that devil Derek Chauvin, who you just mentioned, George Floyd wasn't his first incident at all. You know?

So it's not going to, I don't think it's going to deter them. The only thing that's going to deter them is them being held accountable for their actions. So we can have a record of all the dirt that they did, but if they're not being held accountable for those actions, what does it matter? Yeah, I agree with you all, man.

Just not accountable as far as jail, but also accountable where they lose their benefits lose their retirement and then possibly can get sued from the person that they hurt or kill you got to get rid of qualified immunity for that you got to get rid of qualified right but again it's just like we talk about with gun control it's a stop sign it's still one of many things so it's not that it will stop it and deter it completely all of those things need to be in place. But it is one of many things. If you know you're being watched, typically, you may kind of watch how you do it. To your point, Charlamagne, they have stuff on body cam and they still do what they do.

But this is just one of many things that can help deter. Not just body camera. These people are getting filmed. They're under surveillance now. We saw George Floyd. We saw Eric Garner. We've seen all of these things. You know what I mean? And haven't changed nothing. You know, I'm very careful with absolutes because I do want to say that there has been more officers arrested than ever before in the history since Trayvon Martin.

Not not enough, but more that have been charged and arrested and certainly more than have ever went to jail. So I want to be careful when I say nothing, but it has been some slight change. And over 100 cities have implemented some level of police reform on the state and local level since Trayvon Martin. So there's been a little bit of change, but not enough, and certainly not enough on the federal level.

Got you. I'm for surveillance, though. I'm definitely not against it at all. I would love to be hired to do that. No. By the way, you do look like an undercover cop this morning. I would love to be hired to do that. No. By the way, you do look like an undercover cop this morning. I'm not going to lie. You look so undercover.

You got a Harlem hat on with a Nipsey Hussle Marathon hoodie, shades, a Prince chain. And some Savage X Fenty underwear. Chanel's flip flops. We wasn't looking at the underwear. She's got an underwear. We don't want to see that. You got clothes on. Well, I did ask.

I asked about the underwear when she first came in. I was like, what you rocking today? She told me. Now let's talk about Rosa Parks. What's going on with Rosa Parks in Florida? Yeah, I can't with this one, guys. In an effort to comply with Florida's Stop Woke Act, a textbook publisher found in over 40,000 Florida schools removed references about the race of civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

Now, in the original version of the lesson for the first graders, the publisher wrote that Parks was told to move from her seat because of the color of her skin. But in the second version of the Parks lesson, they declined to mention her race was involved at all. They said that she was told to move to a different seat. She did not. She did what she believed was right. I can't. I mean, they literally just took out the color part. So in a separate instance,

the same publisher also did a lesson for fourth graders on the Civil War, but failed to include that black people were being discriminated against because of black codes. So they revised it to say the Civil War lesson instead opted for using words like certain groups. Now, the New York Times put this on blast and made it a story. And as a result, the Florida Department of Education indicated that it would be impossible to teach about the significance of Rosa Parks without including her race. And they said that if they were to do that it would not be adhering to florida law so the moral to the story is pay attention to what is being taught to our

children particularly in florida with this stop woke act because these are the little things that they're changing that you may not pay attention to and contrary to popular belief woke actually means being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination. So stay woke. Pay attention to what is happening in our school system. I'm not going to lie. I want to read the Rosa Parks story that don't got nothing to do with race. I need to know how they got her on the back of the bus. I need to know what is the story they're going to tell us

that made her sit in the back of the bus if it wasn't a race. And what is this? You know, it's the they. They changed the book. You know who? Who is doing this? White elected officials. Okay, why don't we say that? That's right. Call them by name.

I'm with you. That's me. Mm-hmm. And before I get out of here. Homeschool your kids, people. Absolutely. And before I get out of here, we don't have enough time to cover it, but speaking of Florida, the Florida NAACP has issued a travel advisory telling black people not to come to Florida.

So tonight on the straight shot no chaser podcast i did a two-hour podcast explaining what that travel advisory means and some challenges that i put out there for the florida naacp on what they can do now to have to help black folks that are living under uh this these stop woke acts and history being removed in florida and so forth all right well Thank you so much, Taz, and we'll see you tomorrow. Absolutely. I have to stay silent at

points like this because the racism boils up my throat and it must have come straight out of my mouth. You can say what you want, Kunal. I'm just sick of white folks. It's not just this that's just happening with the books. They erased our history, period, with all of white folks. It's not just this that's just happening with the books. You know, they erased

our history, period. All these racist statues that's all over. And if you know anything about the Baltimore's and our contributions to cowboys and civil rights and everything like that,

they have always this has been going on since the beginning of time. Yeah. And they want to rewrite everything. The Indians will tell you that. And I'm just tired. I'm tired. There's nothing wrong with saying you're sick and tired of white supremacy.

There's nothing wrong with saying you're sick and tired of racist white people. I'm sick and tired of white supremacy and racist white people. That said it. And you truckers can hear me loud. Honk your horn now. Now, honk it now. Alright. Okay, fine. I'm tapping out. You didn't flash nobody. That's why. Alright. When we come back, DJ

Drama will be joining us. His album is out tomorrow, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Charlam. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We have Nala hanging out with us, and we got my homie, DJ Drama. What up, homie? Family, family, family. Yo, album, I'm really like that. Yeah. Why you doing albums now, man? You got so many successful artists. You could just sit on your ass and do nothing.

Why would you want to do that? You know, I love this. You know, I'm for the culture. Just like the title, I'm really like that. So, you know what I mean? I felt like the opportunity presented itself. I was in a new gear, you know what I mean? Ever since, like, I feel like the Tyler,

Call Me If You Get Lost, sparked the, I felt reinvigorated. Absolutely. You know what I mean? I ran with it and uh put this album together great intro too with uh with tyler thank you thank you because it's just bars it's just tyler wrapping his ass off yeah no that's what i wanted i went to him like yo it's only right for you to start it off you know i'm saying so you know i gave him a cannon beat he actually was like yo let's let's

you know let me take the drums out and just go crazy so you know when you you say tyler helped uh revitalize you i don't i don't want to say revitalize your career that don't even sound right i revitalized my career but i think he kind of you know uh in a sense revitalized gangster grills like you know i mean just as far as like what was going on with mixtapes and you know obviously it was a grammy award-winning project so you know i think drama got a Grammy for that, by the way. Salute to John. Thank you.

I appreciate that. So, yeah, he just like, he brought some life back to it. Or we brought some life back to it. You think with your mixtapes, it's not like, it's the music is there. But it's got to be about the moment too. Like when you think about where Wayne was. Yeah. You think about what happened with the Tyler thing.

Like, is it about the moment? I think the moment's important. For sure. You know, but I think the music also like lends to the moment as well definitely everything is about creating a moment with it you know what i mean like even with where i'm at right now with this project or even with the juice uh recreations like it was about like making a moment you know what i mean does the juice clips do they like correlate with the album at all or is it just fun promo you wanted to do yeah it was just a concept i had you know like people who who know me or through my years i've always talked about how much of a juice was the inspiration for me to be a dj so you know um we came up with the concept

i actually called jim jones like yo i got this idea you know i'm saying and jim was like you know i was like yo you still directing videos and he was like you know here and there not really but i ran it by him he was like oh that's crazy i ran into omar epps sometime in new york i ran an idea by him and then it just it just started building i was like damn what if what if i could really get like raheem and steel like yo what if i could really see if uh latifa would do it and that came together incredible how'd you get latifa yeah what was that pitch like um I actually reached out to Shaquem, shot to Shaquem, and I ran an idea by him, and, you know, he ran it by Latifah, and she actually, you know,

she had some interest. He was like, yo, she's definitely interested. You know, obviously she was shooting, and, you know, her schedule was insane. And then we ran into each other at the Grammys, you know, for the 50th celebration of hip-hop. I was part of that performance, and we were at rehearsal, and, you know, for the 50th celebration of hip hop. I was part of that performance and we're at rehearsal and, you know, I saw her during rehearsal. I was like, yo, should I come talk to you?

She was like, yeah, I'm down. You know, I explained the idea to her. And then literally we shot it like we shot her part first. And that was like two days after the Grammys. We shot it in New York. Yeah, we shot it all in New York. It's amazing how many layers there are to Juice right because you know

that part inspired you the DJ part because it's really a movie about mental health and gun violence you know everything else but clearly it was the DJ part that inspired you

yeah I mean that was the backdrop of the movie was you know Omar's character being a DJ like you said the movie is a lot more complex than that

but it's you know it really inspired a generation of djs you know i'm saying like there's a there's a bunch of us out there or i still get messages that people say like yo it's because of juice that i wanted to be a dj so like to be able to pay homage and then like you know just you know how it is like i still get those moments when i'm like yo i'm living on my childhood dreams like i'm shooting videos with Queen Latifah and Omar Epps.

Like, who would have thunk? Yeah, you'd be Rodimus in a remake of Juice WRLD. You wouldn't be you. You know, the bishop, you know, my bishop reenactment, it's kind of solid. It's kind of solid. I'm going to ask, you know, do you ever feel like all the things that you accomplish, you don't get the accolades?

Not just as a DJ, right? As a DJ don't get the accolades? Not just as a DJ, right? As a DJ, you get the accolades, of course. But as a label owner and what you provided for the industry. They talk about all these different labels, but a lot of times I think they forget the things that you did with Uzi and Harlow and the production that your team has put out. Do you ever feel like sometimes they don't necessarily, you get that respect? I think our name could be brought up more than it is. Definitely from a label perspective and the success that we've had a generation now

with Vert and Harlow. But I definitely also feel like I'm getting my flowers and a lot of things have been going amazing for me. So I don't want to just sit here and say my name doesn't come up in conversation. But for sure, absolutely. I think if we really lay it out on the table and really sit my resume down

and look at the things I've done and accomplished starting as a mixtape DJ and to where I am right now, it's like, okay, come on, don't play with me. Hence the title. I really like that. What come on, don't play with me, like, hence the title. Like, yo, I'm really like that. What is the title? Break down the title, though. It's amazing that you still have to tell people.

Yeah, and it's not, you know, it kinda, it was inspired by a line in one of the records on the album, Forever. Jim said, Jim Jones says, you know, I'm really like that. And I just, you know, I ad-libbed him when he said it, and it just, it was Jones says, you know, I'm really like that. And I just, you know, I ad libbed him when he said it and it just it was kind of fitting, you know, and it's like, you know, there's a part of me, I guess, even like how Envy says, like, you know, where where I guess there there is somewhat of this like underdog position that I'm in at times, which I love because, you know, I love putting in that work but it's like yo like I've been doing this two decades like continuously given incredible moments in and you know so many gems to the culture like you know and and we really look at my catalog and look at my resume like I've run the gamut of hip-hop from you know here to here like everyone under the. I saw you having a conversation with Jinx about rap's next big three.

Right. And you think that Generation Now has two of the big three. Yeah, potentially. Potentially. Yeah, absolutely. Who would you say? Like, say the names of who you think the three are. Uzi and Jack.

And who else? Oh, besides, like, oh, it could be a lot of people. I don't know. That's enough for me to say. Hopefully, I'm about to find them. Absolutely. Do you think we'll even have another, like, big three? Oh, yeah, for sure. I don't know. That's not for me to say. Hopefully, I'm about to find them. Absolutely. Do you think we'll even have another big three? Oh, yeah, for sure.

I don't know if it's possible, Drum. How not? I feel like the game has changed so much. We say that, but then we look at where we are with after Nas, Big, and Pac. And it's like you would think or the whole generation. And then where we with kendrick drake and cole like and wayne tip jeezy we skipped them wayne tip jeezy like i mean we could do this for the i hate when this happens because then there's always somebody

somebody and then it's like you really can't do it for days there's always a three it was big j and nas okay then it was tip jeezy people would be mad you didn't say pock in that thing for some reason pock was always like the outlier i don. For some reason, Pac was always like the outlier. I don't know why, but he was always like the outlier. Yeah, starting naming these names, I'm not getting myself in this pickle. But I'm sure there's going to be another big three. Yeah, I'm sorry. I just feel like the game has changed so much.

Just even the way superstars are set up to be, it's like I don't even know what makes a superstar no more, to be honest with you. I mean, but yeah, but at the end of the day, a superstar is still somebody who like, you know, if we look at the majority of these people,

it still is somebody, you know, that has a certain lyrical content and ability, like, to an elite level and then,

you know, people who make like quality albums, like, that still matters. Like, you know, it still can happen for sure it might it

might take some time but it's gonna happen all right we got more with dj drama when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning good morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now let's stop through for a little bit and lunel is our guest host and dj drama is here his album comes out tomorrow charlamagne like i saw uzi on something this week well it might have been Fallon. Yeah, it was Fallon. And I was like, he looks like a star. Yeah.

He is a star. He is. I know, but I'm saying you don't see that as much anymore. At least in rap. With the executive hat, are you looking for lyrics in music or is it one of these TikTok trends? Because a lot of these labels are signing these TikTok artists. Yeah, no, that's not our thing like we we like to we like artists that we think are like cultural artists that want to be one of

the greats and like one of the best you know so you know obviously that talent and that ability you know we look that conviction very early on you know it's very is we we don't follow the trends you know so records aren't what we chase of like what's popping on tiktok and then we go after like you know even if you look at the those careers like of jack and uzi like you know we were in there very early on you know i'm saying and and was was part of the the real like the real build but even with that right you talk about generation nine people not putting them in the conversation is it because sometimes the artists don't wave the flag enough?

That could be a part of it. A lot of the flag waving is done by myself and Cannon and Lake. So that's an important key. Should you buy them a chain? They all have chains. I don't ever see, I see Uzi with the Rockefeller joint on. Yeah, I do too. You don't say nothing about that like at this point no yeah i mean he's gonna do what he wants to do as he should look that's the chain he wants to wear

more power to him you know yeah i know the role we played all right yeah you got two of my uh favorite new youngins on the project you got simba and la russell and one of my favorite records is the wrestle the record with LaRussell and Sy High. Yeah. What made you grab LaRussell? You know, like, we just, at Generation Now, like, shout out to my A&R staff, Willie, Joe, Royce, TC, you know, and Ken and Blake, of course. Like, we just sit around and have rap conversations. Like, you know what would be dope?

Like, yo, LaRussell's hard. Like, so like you know what would be dope like yo the russell's hard like so you know we went and um i had i have found that record i can't believe we made it and i knew early on that i wanted to be an outro and you know they they actually presented the idea to put the russell on and i was like yeah that's fire so you know um size one of my favorite lyricists and it just you know i wanted you know to me it's not always about just like the a-listers or per se like it's just about making good records and like i've always wondered what's been important in my career has been able to introduce new voices as well and respectfully not to say that little russell doesn't already have a solid fan base but you know putting him on a project mixing it with wayne and eight and little baby and things like

that like the russell's fire it's a different stamp yeah and you can tell he he rolls to the occasion no absolutely you you know i love how you know how people were mad at you uh when you said that uh i want to rock yeah was bigger than dreams and nightmares the new philly anthem yeah they were mad at you about that they They were. I don't understand why. Who is your artist? Stop it. What? I appreciate that.

Is he ever going to say his artist is less than another artist? You got to still be honest. Ask me who would win in the versus, 50 or Nas. Ask me right now. I'm going to say 50 because that's my guy. I get it. I understand. Nas is your guy, too.

It's all queens. I'm surprised you even said 50 and Nas. I'm surprised you didn't 15 now you said like i gotta be honest as if there wasn't like there wasn't still some honesty in that and i think again the thing people keep leaving out is i said this year that was the key i didn't hear that part that's what i'm saying nobody heard that nobody heard i said yo for this year it is the anthem you know yeah i thought you just said it was bigger than dreams and nightmares that's the only clip they took around with oh thank you that we're clearing this up on the breakfast club like yeah i said this year and they ran with it

but i was like dreams and nightmares been out for a decade yeah you can't compare that at all you know like but for this moment like for this time in the last like six months like i just want to rock is it it's definitely it's definitely double platinum right now yeah and what's your relationship with who's i know one time was rock at one time but i see how to gather more yeah no it's good um can has been up here like religiously working on the pink tape with vert we in a good You know, he's doing his thing. You know, we've been patched it up.

You know what I'm saying? Everything is kosher, so. The Nipsey feature on I'm Really Like That. Yeah. Was that something left over from Crenshaw?

Where did you get that verse? So, Nip, rest in peace. You know, when he came to Atlanta or used to come to Atlanta, he did a lot of work at Mean Street Studios at our spot.

And it was it was it was a verse that, you know, he had recorded at the studio that we had had. Oh, OK. OK. Yeah. You got more laying around. You do realize Crenshaw, the top five gangsta grills whether people recognize it as a gangsta grill yeah I don't know

why they wouldn't I think the fact that they're because that's one of the tapes that exists without me on it so like if you

go to streamings you don't hear the gangsta grills version like you hear the version without me on it but I don't

disagree with you like I had this argument with Beat Out all the time he doesn't categorize it as a gangsta grill I'm like bro had this argument with beat out all the time he doesn't categorize it as a gangster girl i'm like bro you're tripping so what's your top five gangster girl top five is okay so all right we go uh i think i'd be any order all right trap or die dedication which one that which dedication two okay call me if you get lost pharrell in my mind

the prequel really definitely oh yeah the pharrell tape i know it was a great tape i'm just saying top five yeah absolutely and then the fifth one whoo stuff i'll say uh gucci the movie yeah why pharrell because that tape inspired a generation like there would be no call me if you get lost if there was no pharrell gangster girls okay i see what you're saying the same way like you know way people feel or come up to me about the GZ and the Wayne tapes, there's a generation that comes up to me about how influential that Pharrell tape was to them.

Speaking of your conversation with B.Dot, I know he was talking about how there was a down period for you. And I know, Charlamagne, you always mention rap is no longer a young man's sport. And I just wanted to see like how you feel about that. So you talking about when Elliot was saying that? That bullsh**? I'm like I fell off or something

I'm like bro. You know what I hate that when people don't see you and just think that you're doing nothing Yeah. Damn it. Elliot Wilson said that. Even though Uzi and Jack are on. It's crazy but I think you know I do think that hip-hop is definitely a young man's sport in a way like I don't think so no more I'm hold on I think that you know

the youth and the youth culture is still very important but being where we are in 50 years you know the the generation the that we may be the elder statesmen in a sense, like you can still thrive and have an incredible career and come in the game at an older age than once, you know, you once were able to. And so many artists and people, examples have shown this. So, you know, I think there's, I think we're at a time when everyone can live and survive where it's not like, oh, if you're an artist over 25 or 30, you can't exist. Everyone can coexist now.

I think that should be the goal. Everybody can have a moment. That's why every day my respect grows more for the Drakes, the Kendricks, the Coles, the Futures, because they've been in a decade plus and still thriving. Absolutely. I mean, I couldn't agree more i mean i think that's the goal like when you think about it like you know just those guys you mentioned or even you know the one the ones that came before like everybody doesn't you

know 10 years in hip-hop is a long time if you make it to 10 years like kudos you know i'm saying like that's that's an incredible run and so if you go past 10 years and you still matter like you know the percentage dwindles and Diminishes as time goes on like if we really want to do the knowledge like two three years is what most people get so You come up on 10 years 20 years and plus like and then you be able to reinvent yourself and go in different directions And you know do television and you know other other ventures like with your brand like you know that's that's the amazing part about it and we've had so many examples of that I will move we got more with DJ drama when we come back is

the breakfast morning everybody is DJ envy Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club and DJ drama is here his album comes out tomorrow we think about the DJj game right we we look at it i'm sure some of the djs that inspired you were whether it was the kid capri the flexes the greg streets right and then there was an era of the me you clues and case lays you i'm after y'all uh yeah yeah yeah yeah after us and then it was you know whatever so what do you think of the generation now as djs and what do they need to to do to be that strong that's a great question um i i think they just need to kind of like find a niche um and create movements and and you know like study what we've done study you know what who's who's come before you and just really get to a point where, like, I think branding is very important and creating a brand. And I think sometimes what I notice about DJ sometimes or have in times is they try to do things a little too early, you know, like a project or a record where they haven't so much like built their name

or their brand yet you know what i mean but um you know i i still think there's the the me's and yous of tomorrow out there you know about to what djs are you looking i say i hate the goat conversation i hate when people say they're the goat yeah and the problem with that is is on the dj side yeah okajama the GOAT mixtape DJ. I did this already. Greatest, greatest, greatest mixtape brand ever. He's not even close. Kid Capri is a GOAT for what he does, you know,

and for the things that he's established. Absolutely. I think Flex is a GOAT for what he did on radio. Absolutely. I think Clue is a GOAT for the things that he did. You're a GOAT for the things that you've done. So when I hear a younger DJ talk GOAT, it like they they haven't put in the necessary work i feel that or the time and i think it's a little fatty got you i do i do hear that a lot yeah that's

interesting as you say that so i mean i guess first i would say i mean you would you would want someone to feel that way or you would you would want to feel that way about yourself. I mean, early on, saying you're a GOAT is a, that's a, you know, you got to have a lot of guts to do that. But I also remember early on in my career, like, calling myself the king of this shit on early mixtapes, even before Gangsta Girls. And I was nowhere close to the king of it. You know, so, you know, I believe in manifestation in manifestation and you know putting things out into the universe but um you know to me it doesn't bother me like if if they pay homage i respect that you know if you're gonna call yourself that you know at least be out there you know showing love to the the real goats the

ones us that have really done it and gotten to where we are. I feel like the word GOAT is kind of just played out in general, though. Like, everybody gets called GOAT. I don't even think that's really, like. Well, there can be a lot of GOATs. Yeah. Greatness of all time. Like you said, the 10-year mark.

I feel like if you hit the 10-year mark, then you're GOATed. And GOATed doesn't mean, like, the best. You're just, like, you've reached your best level of you. you know people forget about that acronym the time part if you just got in the game and you ain't got no time you're not a goat you're the greatest of all time you gotta put in the time that's real to be considered a goat but to your point of like you were saying on your early tapes like you was the king before using the king i feel like today, it's a lot of faking it until you make it. Are y'all mad at that? Hey, man, we're going to see who's here in the next five, ten years.

That's right. We're going to see who really stood the test of time. Let's play it. Hold on real quick. Do you think the classic Gangsta Grill projects overshadow your albums? Yes. Yes, tough. Absolutely. overshadow your album um yes yes tough absolutely because i try to listen to your albums with a different ear yeah you can't and i can't you can't i'm always comparing it to other drama projects i don't even look at it even though it's an album right i'm just comparing it to gangster grills like this is another drama project yeah i'm not mad at that though i mean they're all

my bodies of work so so I respect that. You never wanted to stay with that for the albums? Say that again? You never wanted to call the albums, continue on that name, and keep going? Because it's such, like Charlamagne said, it's... Like what, just all make the albums Gangsta Grills? Well, you did. Well, I did two albums that were actually called Gangsta Grills, the albums.

Then I changed it, and then I did Quality Street Music, and I did two of those and then i have i'm really like that um and but the mixtapes like you know they're again when i do them they're centered around one artist you know i'm saying so like when i do my album it's in a different format in a sense but like um i don't if for instance like the same day my album out is right now, I'm also on Tyler The Creator's Call Me If You Get Lost Deluxe, the estate sale. So I got two projects out, like, and one is like in a form of, you know, various artists on my project. And the other is me talking my talk on Tyler's. But hey, I'm here for all of it, man. Are you still doing a De La Soulg a day like soul games yeah um uh talk to pos so it's definitely still in the

works did y'all record before uh day passed we did and we um we spoke about it on numerous occasions and uh you know recipes to dave um so we we didn't do any recording but we definitely like had it in the works and, you know, I've been talking about it for like over a year really. And, you know, knowing that they were coming to streaming platforms and it was something we were going to like start to work on. And, you know, I still, still, hopefully we, we, we do get to that project. My last question, this is for more like younger DJs, right?

Like number one, do you feel mixtapes are still relevant to success in hip-hop, or does it have to be in an album form? And if it was the mixtape, because even that phrase, mixtape, it played out. What would a playlist, a Gangsta Grills playlist look like? How do you do the drops?

How do you do the voiceover? What would that look like? So if it wasn't in mixtape format and it was like a playlist? Yeah. You know, it would have to be something creative like that that would have that feel. You know, where I could incorporate myself into the playlist and like add the bells and the whistles and make it feel like a tape but in a playlist format.

But I think mixtapes still matter i think that you know i've just recently shown and been a part of of of them mattering again you know i think i think the feel of a mixtape had been gone for a while because that word had had gotten just like botched up with what an ep what album was and people just using it but like just with the my recent run like i did 15 mixtapes last year damn you know i'm saying from cold to um gz to nba young boy to um simba og um um g perico just recently jay stone french jim i could go on for days but i gave it that mixtape feel you know that had been missing so now we're going up on streaming platforms where i'm running the music back i'm talking how it was and you know gives it

it makes it that nostalgia of of what a mixtape was all right all right well we appreciate you for joining us yeah i really like that appreciate y'all shout out to generation now and john i need the key at the for the crib because i need a couple of cars again for the car show. Not a problem. Okay? Always got you. You heard that. All right.

Enough said. It's DJ Drama. Yeah. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. How many times you have to tell somebody that, Lunel? Bitch better have my money. Over the years, a few times.

A few times. Well, we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Lunel is our guest host. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk ice spice. Rumor has it. Rumor.

Rumor has it. rumor has it call out a name or you gossiping or you chatting i don't gossip but this is the rumor report i mean i guess we on the breakfast club this is where the tea spills right right on the breakfast club now ice spice was robbed and the person that robbed to actually put footage of him holding the chain damn yo listen man we got ice spice chain man stop playing me man pull up i know where we at man come to the blitter come get your cheddar yes but uh the chain that he was holding up was one of those fake chains that you can get out the mall it just says queen that everybody has one so it was a tiktok hoax they did it to get some followers and some likes on tiktok

they really didn't steal Ice Spice's chain. I think you should still get a little bit of prison time for impersonating the crime. Impersonating the criminal. Even if you're holding a fake chain? A little bit. Prison? Not just county? No, no.

I think at least you should get a little bit of time. Prison, though? I don't know if it's prison. Maybe county. Maybe county for six months. It was a fake chain he was holding on. For 30 days. Impersonating the crime.

I think 30 days. Because what you do is you encourage real criminals to do stuff like that when you get online no no you gotta go to jail you gotta sit down for maybe a week then just something like they gotta be okay yeah there gotta be some consequences to these actions but you can't just get online and say yo i took somebody's chain you know i mean that that i feel like that would cause a lot of a lot more problems and encourage a lot more of that behavior so they should get some a little bit a little jab for that yeah and ice spices she never even owned the piece that you know it's the piece that says queen like you see all the kids wearing this is queens you can get it from the mall this anyway all right now uh tory

lanes his lawyer files an appeal in the uh shooting conviction they're saying that uh they're trying to appeal now this is allegedly because they showed a picture of him in court and on his chest or on his lower chest i should say there isn't a picture of a gun and because of the picture of a gun they're saying that maybe the jurors swayed away because they seen a picture of him holding the gun this is all alleged so this is why they're saying that they're trying to file an appeal. I don't think it had nothing to do with that. I don't think the jury was moved by that tattoo in any way, shape, or form to come to the conclusion that they came to. There was a lot more other overwhelming evidence other than that.

That tattoo. But you know, when you're trying to file an appeal, you're looking for any little reason to, you know, the judge to say that maybe it was a problem to try to retry it so now also megan the stallion she's getting a warm houston welcome from carl crawford now you know who carl crawford is he's the one that owns the company that she signed to 1501 certified entertainment uh and now he's doing a welcome the queen of hotties megan stallion back to the city of houston she's going to be performing at the ncaa march madness music festival and it's kind of weird because you know they've been going through their of Hottie's Megan Thee Stallion back to the city of Houston. She's going to be performing at the NCAA March Madness Music Festival.

And it's kind of weird because, you know, they've been going through their ups and downs, and he's been very vocal about not getting along with her or Roc Nation. But it seems like he's trying to put things to the side and, you know, smooth things out. I don't know how she's going to take towards that, but we will definitely see. Would you accept that apology, Lunell?

Maybe. If he had a bag connected to it. Okay. Would you accept that apology, Lunell? Maybe. If you had a bag connected to it. Okay. Would you? Probably not. I mean. Ask me. Would you?

Hell no. Yeah, probably not. No way. I'm not that healed yet. No, I'm not that healed. I mean, they went back and forth for a long time. I know. On the internet.

And now we can't be friends. No, I don't want to be friends. I'm going to do my recording contract. And when this contract is over, I'm going to move on. And hopefully you move on as well. But things went too far. But it's not that you would be accepting his apology. But sometimes you have to just move along to get along.

You know what I'm saying? That's true, too. And maybe just for a while, just play the game, you know, and fine. And then when the obligations are done, they're on the commission. Yeah, and I don't know where the beef started or why, you know, it was so much back and forth. But, nah, once the business is public, there's nothing more to talk about. I like you, Envy. You hold the grudge.

I do. I do. I like the old grudge holder. I like the old grudge holder. I like the old grudge holder. Old grudge holder. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, Charlamagne.

Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? Listen, man, we need to give donkey of the day this morning to the Republicans who refused to pass common sense gun reform. Thank you. And I got to give President Joe Biden some smoke, too, for just being cowardly on that as well. But we'll discuss.

All right. And then we got a huge announcement. A huge announcement. Right after. A big black announcement. And then we got a huge announcement. A huge announcement. Right after. A big black announcement right after Donkey of the Day. A big black announcement. Yes, it is. All right.

I already know what it is. And we'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast Club. I got sources. You got sources. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Afro Nation, the world's biggest Afro Beats Festival, takes place in Miami at Lone Depot

Park on May 27th and May 28th with Burn A Boy, Wizkid, and more. For more information, visit USA.AfroNation.com. This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.

And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. It's a breakfast club bitches all right please tell me why was i your donkey of the day well donkey of the day for thursday march 30th goes to president joe biden as well as the republicans in congress who have said in regards to gun violence they have done all that they are willing to do uh if you haven't heard there was a mass shooting this week at a christian elementary school in nashville that basically a lot of folks in washington are just shrugging

their shoulders at okay i told you earlier this week that when you hear politicians say this is not who we are as a country scream out you lie like a horse on the side of the road or whatever the hell jamaicans be saying okay when somebody's lying uh mass shootings are the american way all right it's part of our culture all right guns are a part of our culture violence is our culture and all these old white men in washington have accepted it all right this is republican tim burkett of tennessee he was on the steps of the capitol just hours after the shooting that killed three children and three adults in his home state and this is what he said three precious little kids lost their lives and i believe three adults i believe this and um in the shooter

of course i lost their life too so it's a horrible horrible situation and we're not going to fix it criminals are going to be criminals and my daddy fought the second world war fought in the pacific fought the japanese and he told me he said buddy he said if somebody wants to take you out and doesn't mind losing their life there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it. We're not going to fix it. Criminals are going to be criminals. Yes, criminals are going to be criminals, but you make it easier for them to commit the kind of carnage they commit when you don't do things like pass common sense gun reform.

Okay. Legislation that can expand Brady background checks and ban assault weapons. Where the hell do these people's kids go to school that they are not terrified like the rest of us, because I want my kids to go there too. And it's not just about the kids. It could be you. All right. What if somebody just rolled up to the steps of the Capitol while you was talking, Tim Burkett, and just opened fire with an AR-15? I bet you if you live to talk about it, you would want them to pass common sense gun reform immediately. You know, people don't care about anything until it impacts them.

And then President Biden said this week that there's nothing else he can do without congress let's listen i have gone the full extent of my executive authority to do on my own anything about guns but congress has to act the majority of american people think having assault weapons is bizarre it's a crazy idea. We're against that. And so I think the Congress should be passing this all. I can't do anything except plead with the Congress to act reasonably. President Biden, that was unbelievably honest and pathetic. OK, it's absolutely pathetic for a sitting president to just concede and say I'm powerless without Congress. Is he right? Yes. But how about call out the senators by name who won't pass common sense gun reform

because they are in the pockets of gun lobbyists. Call them out. Let people know the senators who have benefited the most from NRA money. Let people know whose political campaigns have benefited from NRA dollars. Let people see the correlation between senators who oppose gun safety legislation and whose political campaigns have also benefited from NRA money. There's literally a website you can go to that showed you which senators have benefited

the most from NRA money. OK, Mitt Romney, Richard Burr, Roy Blunt, Tom Till's, Marco Rubio. It's like 48 of them, guys. But you can go to this site and it shows how much the NRA spent on their campaigns and how many gun deaths have happened in their states. OK, I would much rather see President Biden calling them out instead of just throwing his hands up and saying all i can do is beg them to do something i have to plead to them to do something it's nothing i can do without them of course you can't do anything without them but at least call them out by name bill cassidy tom cotton pat toomey ted crew steve dames all received money from the nra for their campaigns to not call him out after another mass shooting and not just him out after another mass shooting.

And not just another mass shooting, another mass shooting of kids is gutless. All right. CNN reported that mass shootings have gone up every year since 2013. In 2013, it was 256. In 2022, it was 646. And guess what? In 2023, the Gun Violence Archive has counted 130 mass shootings. OK, but all our elected officials including our president can do is nothing all right at the least get angry like congressman jamal bowman was yesterday let's listen freaking cowards they're gutless we're not here i'm talking about gun violence that allows teachers to carry carry guns you think more guns lead to more death to care Look at the data in this room for 20 years. I was a teen. I was standing before you

and you interrupted me. Probably want to close the bombs for Jamal Bowman. Be irate. You know, show some passion. I'm telling you right now, all you elected officials, eventually, it will impact you.

All you Republicans in Congress doing nothing about this, it's literally like driving a car with no brake pads. All right, when you drive without brake pads, you are putting you and everybody else on the road at risk and eventually you're gonna crash okay this is what will happen eventually to all the elected officials who don't want to move on common sense

gun reform you will eventually be cannibalized by the same monster you're feeding okay god told me to tell you that please let remy ma give give the Republicans who refused to pass common sense gun reform and President Joe Biden for not calling him out by name the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Now can we woosah? All right, let's woosah.

Thank you for that donkey today. Woosah, woosah. We said we had a big black announcement. Lunell got excited. What's the big black announcement? Hit a drum roll one time. Big black announcement, y'all. Now, you know, The Breakfast Club has been on this radio for 13 years.

How you guys doing, man? How you feeling? Good, good, man. Just wanted to say good morning to you, what's up? Good morning. How you guys doing, man? How you feeling? Good, good, man. Just wanted to say good morning to you, Charlamagne, Linnell.

Hey. Hey. Congratulations, man. 10 years. That's a big achievement that I've been listening to you guys. We're in our 13th year, sir. But, you know. 13 years.

13 years. I've been listening to you guys for 10 years. Yes, yes. And for you guys to be able to go on TV, it's amazing. I guess Charlamagne's going to have to stop doing any butt molds. So I don't think it'll be good. So a lot of that on TV. Nothing stops here, bro.

The butt molds will not stop. Nothing stops. That doesn't stop here, sir. Lunell, you want me to stop the butt molds? Hey. Never. Hey, I heard DJ Envy got that in front of his house. So when he walks out, he kind of rubs it like he's walking on the Apollo every morning.

That's a fact. That would be dope. You know what? We might put the butt mold outside the door so when artists come in, they got to rub it for luck. Oh, my God. Hey, there you go. Just put a piece of tableware on the Apollo.

I think that'd be a little bit too much. What's that new song? My Vagina Pink and My Booty Hole Brown or something like that? I don't know. I don't see that. I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, okay. Sorry.

That is a song. It's popping out here, too. Yeah, that ain't... I was born in the 1900s. I ain't got time for that. Salute to that person, though, whoever that is. Hello, who's this? Hello, good morning.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Hey, this is Ashley. We can't hear you. Hello. Can you hear me now? No, we can't hear you.

Yes, we can. Why are you playing with her? I'm just messing with her, man. I can hear myself echoing. How are you? Good morning. Good morning, Ashley. Good morning.

I just want to say congratulations to you guys. And I hope you do not get a new co-host. Because I love, like, different people coming up here every week. And, you know. We like the rotating guest hosts, too. You know, we enjoy this new energy. Yeah, I don't think you guys should get like another permanent person. It's like,

it just gives like stepmom vibes. Damn. Nobody wants, nobody wants to be stepmom. Okay. We got a bad connection,

girl. Bye, girl. No, she said she, she said she liked the rotating guest host. She just don't know if she wants somebody permanent.

Why'd you hang up on that woman? I didn't know how. I have no power to hang up on nobody. Don't play me like that. I disagree with that, though. What's that? I think eventually, you know. Eventually.

Somebody permanent has to feel this. Eventually. But I think, you know, for a while. You know, we still got a lot of people at that schedule to come up here. And we're super duper excited about that. I saw your little chart. Who's your favorite? It said, who's your favorite?

Oh, from March Madness, we did the bracket. Yeah. Who's your favorite? It said, who's your favorite? Oh, from March Madness, we did the bracket. Yeah. Who's your favorite so far, Luna? Me. You won't be able to tell about today, but I had a good day yesterday. You had a great day. And the day's not over. You're having a great day today, Luna.

I'm glad to be here. And we're happy to have you here. You know, but we should tell them a little bit about the show that will be on BET. It's going to be at 9 a.m., right? So it's going to be the best of stuff from that morning. Correct. You know what I mean? So the interviews that we have on that morning, the donkey of the day from that morning,

our guest co-hosts from that morning, the topic from that morning, that's what will be airing at 9 a.m. every day on BET. Right. So you'll probably get, like you said day on BET right so you'll probably get like you said the artist interviews you'll probably get the donkey whatever topic

we've been talking about so you'll get it before anybody else you'll get it before it hits the YouTube and it'll be pretty dope and we can't wait to see you guys

and do so many because it's not just that we're going to be doing a lot of stuff with BET which I think is going to be really really great as well allegedly nah it's going to happen

I mean that's what we've been talking about our team is up there so our team is going to make it happen. I hope so. We're going to be doing some coverage and stuff.

Wouldn't that be dope if the Breakfast Club hosted the BET Awards, the pre-show? Yeah. Let us do the pre-show. Maybe give out some awards. I agree with that.

I'd rather do the pre-show. I want to leave. I don't want to stay for the awards. We got to go to the stage one time. I'd like to do the pre-show. That'd be dope for us

to do the pre-show. I think it's an hour-long pre-show. An hour-long show, yep. I do have a little beef with BET. What is it? Tell us.

The beef I have with BET is that with Comic View having been such a staple at BET for so many years and literally kept the show on the air for so many years, they don't invite any of the past hosts to come on to present an award.

They don't have a comedy award show. They don't have anything for us to do. I never get to attend. I don't get to present any awards. Laura Hayes should be there. They don't do anything for Ronaldo Ray. Ronaldo Ray. I think that they really have slighted the comics that helped build

the brand of the station sorry BET but that's how I feel Lunell I agree with you they should bring BET Comic View back actually they should bring

BET Comic View back Connie if you're listening it's a great idea it's a fantastic idea and they should definitely at least

do a retrospective and flashback a BET Comic View documentary that's right yeah no you're right okay you're right okay so. You're right.

Okay, so that's all I had to say. We cannot look forward to meals to nothing at BET, too. Damn it, man. All right. I said what I said. But we're taking your calls 800-585-1051.

The Breakfast Club will be on BET starting April 17th. What are your thoughts? Let's talk about this. The Breakfast Club, good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ and the Charlamagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Lunella's our guest it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ ND, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, Lunella's our guest host. I am. Now, when we start the show, we don't say, we wouldn't say, good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo. We don't say, good morning, BET. Or do we say, good morning, BET? No, we will still say, good morning, USA. And I think we should acknowledge BET every morning.

BET family. Yeah, since we're going to be on there Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. And that keeps us from having to do like, you know, you know how they do like the silly promos and like, you know, this is the breakfast club on BET. It's like, no, it's all encompassing. It's all natural. It's all, let's just keep it organic.

Do y'all get more money for that? A little bit. Yeah. A little bit. Yeah. A little bit. A little bump. A little bump.

Yeah. Something to donate to charity. Okay. I have a charity. It's true. Jesus charity. It's true. It's good. We all right. Hello, who's this? Oh my God.

I love Ray J, though. I can tell you right now, Ray J, it will be guest co-host.

He would not be perfect. He might have seen a Ray J podcast, another radio show, but he would not be the permanent co-host. Yeah, I came in one day, he had his shirt off. I came in one day, he had his shoes on. I was like, no, I can't. Ray J's be talking in circles sometimes. He be confusing me

The Breakfast Club. Years ago, and I must say, that little Ray J, he got something in his eyes. And when he look at you, if you're a woman like me, he do have some kind of quality in his eyes that make you just want to like pull your clothes off. Did he hit? No, he didn't hit. But he could. He still can. Does he know that? No, he don't care. If it didn't end in y'all having sex,

Lunell. Well, it's not over. It's never over till it's over. Oh, you mean... You mean it's not over yet. I ain't had sex with him yet. I could tell you had more to the story. I'm in Vegas every weekend. Anything can pop off. He does live in Vegas.

He does live in Vegas. So basically, Lunell just solicited for Ray J to hit. That's right. He can hit it. He's back. He's married now, Lunell. He's back with Princess Love. Married, not buried.

Boy, I tell you something. I guess we were talking. Black men don't cheat, Lunell. Oh, like that ain't the most stable relationship in the world. Oh, God. Black men don't cheat, Lunell. Well, where did that come from? Black stable relationship in the world. Oh, God. Black men don't cheat, Lunell. Where did that come from? Black men not cheating?

No. Okay. No. Say a lot of black men don't cheat. Say most black men don't cheat. Nope. Say some black men don't cheat. Nope.

It has been documented that black men cheat. Nope. Black men don't cheat. It means that. Oh, yeah. It means something, but it don't mean that. That's right. Black boys cheat.

But when you grow up, black men don't cheat. Correct. Black men cheat, too. And also, it's a statement, right? It's like saying, black men don't cheat. Yeah, but it don't mean anything. That's right, black boys cheat. But when you grow up, black men don't cheat. Correct. Black men cheat, too. And also, it's a statement, right? It's like saying, black men don't cheat. Yeah, but it's a lie. No, because I'm telling black men don't cheat. No, I'm a woman.

I know it's a lie. Black men don't cheat. Black men cheat. But black, no, black men, comma, don't cheat. No, black men do, comma, cheat. No, I'm encouraging black men to not cheat. No, say that. We encourage black men not to cheat.

Black men cheat like an MF. I can't even say it. Jesus Christ. What? Oh, right. do no i'm encouraging black men to not no say that we encourage black men not to cheat black men cheat like a mf i can't even say it jesus christ what all right well okay well eva you know even from uh real housewives well my girl well she announced that uh she is filing divorce with her husband but he said he is ready to fight to save their marriage i know he is who let eva go he says i'm not going to lose my wife i'm going to fight for her their marriage. I know he is. Who want to let Eva go? He says, I'm not going to lose my wife. I'm going to fight for her with every fiber in my being. I don't want them to break up. I love her and I plan

to show her how much I love her and that I love her strong enough to get to the other side. I respect that. I'm not going to lose my wife. I'm going to bring her back. I love it. Do what you got to do. Because they seemed very happy. But you never know what happens when you close the doors. And if he says he's got to do. Like Sterling. Because they seemed very happy. But you never know what happens when you close the doors. And if he says he's willing to do everything,

then maybe he was slacking on doing something. And then when you, like I said yesterday, when you play a boss every day, it's hard to come home and not be that same boss. That's not what you said. What you said was Eva plays a pimp and that her husband should have fell in line and been one of her hoes. That's what you said. That is not what I said. You can said was Eva plays a pimp and that her husband should have fell in line and been one of her hoes.

That's what you said. That is not what I said. You can rewind the tape. Don't do me. Don't do me. Don't do me. That's not what I said. I said that she has a very pimpish role on that show

and that maybe sometimes you can't always release a character that you play when you come home. And maybe she been bossing people around and slapping people around on the show and she come home and have to be all passive aggressive and stuff. Maybe it didn't work like that. So are you saying that her husband should have let her beat on him

at home? No, ain't nobody said that she beat on him. You just said that. I didn't say that. You did, Luella. Let me see what's in that vape, man. Oh, look, you've been wanting to hit this vape for two days. Just say it. I'll give you one.
