Morning, Tez.
Good morning, DJ and BJ.
It's hilarious.
Charlamagne Tha God.
Happy Friday.
Thank you.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I would know where we were jumping into, but our producers didn't send me what you were about to talk about.
So I'm just going to say, Taz, what are we talking about this morning?
Yeah, y'all love throwing folks under the bus.
Well, good morning.
A hundred migrants attempted to enter the U.S. illegally by rushing the border wall yesterday.
I don't know if you guys saw this on the news, but they were pushing down the razor wire, knocking over guards in the process. Take a listen. On the Texas-Mexico
border tonight, Border Patrol officers arresting hundreds of migrants after they broke through a
razor wire fence in El Paso. According to Customs and Border Protection, a large group breached the
barricades between the Rio Grande and the section of border wall earlier this morning.
On social media, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the Texas National Guard and DPS regained control of the situation
and did restore that razor wire.
Now, this comes after a lot of legal back and forth this week over Texas Senate Bill 4.
That's the law that would allow state law enforcement to arrest anyone suspected of
coming into texas illegally as of now that law remains on hold hey man you have to let them in
when they're willing to do all that okay when they are willing to go through all of that to get here
then they might be some people we need on our team treat it like an obstacle course an obstacle course
like mexican ninja warrior if they can get through all that they get citizenship but But we got to find out who's actually coming in the country, right?
There's absolutely positively some good people that are just trying to flee from their situations.
But there are also some people that we don't know, right?
People from other places.
So we just have to know who's coming in the country, I suppose.
Everybody got to be vetted, of course.
Well, you can better believe they will be using this on the campaign trail i can hear trump talking about it now uh just some background the national guard
they were attempting to organize them in the smaller groups but the situation grew tense after
some women and children were separated from the adult males as the report mentioned you can see
online and go check it out that the migrants mostly men were rushing the troops you know
actually just running over them a group of men with hoodies, gloves, and winter jackets.
They can be seen fencing
away and dashing through the wire
as a group of five guards
formed a defense position to fill
the gap. So, they really
were literally pushing the line yesterday, Charlemagne.
So, a few put their hands up directly
on the migrants to keep them back
in response to being pushed. And as the
scene became louder and more chaotic.
I'm surprised they didn't shoot them.
I know.
I'm shocked that none of them got shot.
I'm shocked no gunfire and nothing went off.
But if you're willing to go through all of that to get here,
it makes me think, you know, what are you running from?
You know, so I think, you know, people like that,
you really do have to sit down and have a different type of conversation
because I don't think they're over here to cause trouble if they're willing to go through all of that you
know to get here all right well that is front page news what are we talking next hour test
well if you this is a crazy story medical breakthrough a pig kidney for the first time
was trans transplanted into a human being so i really want to tell you about that and then carly
russell you remember you remember the young lady
that said she was kidnapped
after seeing the baby
on the side of the road?
She had her day in court yesterday.
So I'll tell you about that
at 7 o'clock.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Everybody else,
get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent,
phone lines are wide open.
It's a Friday, damn it.
So call us up right now.
800-585-1051.
And again,
salute to all my HBCUs out there.
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.
Hello, who's this?
EJ Envy.
This is Derek from Jersey. How are you Envy, this is Derek from Jersey.
How are you this morning?
Hey, Derek from Jersey.
Get it off your chest, brother.
I just want to say good morning to the entire Breakfast Club.
How you doing?
Brother Lenard and Just Hilarious, how are you today? Good morning, honey.
I'm good.
Good, good.
Listen, I just wanted to ask a question. I'm seeing a commentary what you guys think of people thinking that your
morals and integrity
are in question because
you conduct these type of interviews.
Yo, tell them I said suck my d***.
Say, shall we name the God?
I said,
I'm not going to make the radio, bro.
Oh, you're right. But tell them, shall we name the God?
I don't give a damn what they're talking about
because, you know, I come from an era where I used to watch
Oprah Winfrey, Phil Donahue, Barbara Walters.
They would sit down with all types of people.
And it was people that they might have agreed with,
people that they might have disagreed with,
but they still had the conversation.
I'm about conversation over confrontation.
So I don't care.
And by the way, if you look at The Breakfast Club over the last 14 years,
I dare you to find another show, radio, TV, or otherwise, that has had the diversity of guests on that we have had.
Wow.
I would have to agree with you. interviewed Vivek Ramaswamy and I'm seeing Candace Owens now. You guys are not afraid
to take on the
doubt, dare we say
taboo interviews, but I like
the fact that the Breakfast Club
keeps an objective point of view
in regards to who they
interview because I don't hear you
interject your
how you say political
standings or whatever,
but you're just conducting an objective interview,
and I really appreciate that because a lot of the mainstream news medias
and other radio outlets are not using the same objectivity.
So I just wanted to give the Breakfast Club their propers
for staying objective.
You may not like
who you're talking to,
but in regards to
what we're trying
to get accomplished
and get in this country
moving forward,
we need interviews like this
and discussions like this
in order to keep
the movement pushing forward.
Absolutely.
Thank you, Gary. We appreciate you for calling, brother.
And the one other thing I would add, even the people that a lot of people may like, those people are
controversial to a whole other sector
of America. Absolutely.
Minister Farrakhan been up here. Dick Gregory been up here.
You know what I'm saying? Barack Obama,
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris.
All of those people are
polarizing. And then still,
even with the Candace Owens,
people are still
putting words in her mouth
that you can tell
people didn't watch
the whole interview.
They're just watching clips
and they're just perceiving
what they think.
You know what I mean?
So I just block people like that.
And if there's things
that you want to talk
to Candace about,
if there's things
that you want to address her about,
stop being a sucker
and have her on your platform.
And bring all of that stuff that you want us to bring up that you say we didn't.
That's not the way we wanted to have our conversation.
Bring them on your platform.
Bring her on your platform and you have that conversation with her.
I will say this, though.
Charlemagne, you told people to S your D.
You shouldn't threaten people with a good time because you're running in the wrong person and they might actually do it out in public.
That's what you got out of this whole conversation.
Is that a good time to you, Envy?
This whole conversation, that's what you got.
Get it off your chest.
885-1051.
Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.
How do you set yourself up every morning?
The Breakfast Club.
It's a new day.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Wake up.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
It's time to get up and get something.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Well, you should have a warranty on it then, right?
Yeah.
No, I got to wait for them to open up, and I'm going to take it right back to them.
Because, like, look, I paid for what I paid for.
12 days, that's not adding up.
McCall, this is eliminated.
Not a math thing, math thing.
Yeah, but you should usually get it from a dealership.
They'll give you a warranty if there's an issue or problem.
They'll give you a loan until they fix it.

When we come back, we got Jess with the Worldwide Mess coming up.
The story I was trying to get to yesterday is very important.
The Nickelodeon documentary recap.
Okay.
We'll get into that next.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess On The Breakfast Club She's a culture shift
She was able to get y'all to see something
And understand something
That nobody could get you to see
It's time to set it all
Oh, I love that intro
Thank you, Taylor
I love that
Alright, so people expect for me to be funny every day
However, I want to keep speaking on this
Nickelodeon documentary But from the perspectives of some of the family members of these child
actors um in the documentary drake bell spoke on his dad's reaction to brian peck being charged
when he got that 16 month sentence and um this was the guy that sexually assaulted drake bell
i get a phone call from drake i go what's up I haven't heard from you for a while. And I was like, oh, did you see they got him?
I go, what do you mean?
Brian, they arrested him.
I go, you're kidding. I knew it. I knew it.
And my dad just goes, I am so glad that he was not able to get his hands on you.
That's very emotional. And I just, we were starting to rekindle our relationship and I just couldn't.
So I just said, yeah, they, you know, they got him.
He's like, oh, I'm so glad.
I knew he was going to do something to someone.
How did it make you feel when you finally found out?
I'm not, I'm not the same today.
The pain's still there from the moment that I knew.
And he's crying because he recalls that conversation when Drake called him and told him that Brian Peck got sentenced, right?
But the thing behind that was Drake Bell was anonymous at that time.
And with him and his dad having, you know, like a relationship change,
they fell apart.
Remember when his dad was removed from set and replaced with his mom?
He thought that it was another kid.
Whole time it was him.
You know, it was him.
And he just said he didn't have the courage to tell his dad
because they were rekindling their relationship. Whole time. You know, but Drake was anonymous, and that's didn't have the courage to tell his dad because they were rekindling their relationship whole time.
You know, but Drake was anonymous and that's why he just chose not to tell his dad at that time.
So that last part of him crying when he actually found out like, wow, that was you the whole time.
You know, that was the time of the documentary.
Now, Brian Hearn was one of the young black male actors on all that.
His mother was very present on set and she spoke up about things that she felt was inappropriate,
like you would think any black mother would.
First day filming, they set up the scene like he was selling drugs.
And I was like, oh, the black kid gets to be the crack dealer?
Why were we having adult jokes?
I was complaining too much.
I became the oddball.
They were fitting me for the...
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired? Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out
of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tribe owned country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

And I go by the name Q Ward.
And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher.
That's right.
We're going to discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people, but in a way that informs and empowers all people to hopefully create better allies.
Think of it as a black show for non-black people.
We discuss everything from prejudice to politics to police violence,
and we try to give you the tools to create positive change in your home,
workplace, and social circle.
Exactly.
Whether you're black, Asian, white, Latinx, indigenous, LGBTQIA+, you name it.
If you stand with us, then we stand with you.
Let's discuss the stories and conduct the interviews that will help us create a more empathetic, accountable, and equitable America.
You are all our brothers and sisters, and we're inviting you to join us for Civic Cipher each and every Saturday with myself, Ramses Jha, Q Ward, and some of the greatest minds in America.
Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, I could go get my mom about this. But also, I know my mom, and I know that she would have rose hell.
Well, I would have let my mom raise hell, but he was very, very young.
His mom also complained to his agents about inappropriate things
that she would see on set.
But his agents told her, look, be quiet,
because you're going to mess up his chances on set.
Like, you know, eventually Nickelodeon did end up firing brian
before season three and he said he believes that the network wasn't trying to get rid of him
wasn't just trying to get rid of him but they wanted to get rid of his mom too because she was
obviously a problem um from the beginning chris massey is another nickelodeon actor who was a main
character on zoe 101 now we know he is the oldest brother to Kyle Massey, who was a star on That's So Raven.
But Zoey 101 was one of Dan Schneider's shows.
Chris Massey's mother got on social media to support Dan Schneider.
I posted a comment about somebody that has been nice to us, somebody that has never done anything to us. When I said that it was the parents' fault,
who allows their children to get a ride with a staff member to work? Who allows their children
to spend the night with staff members? That's what I was talking about. So for when all these
people are Instagramming me and saying all these things about me, I have really tough skin and that
don't bother me. I don't give a shit a what they talking about i didn't watch the documentary and i have no plans on watching
the documentary because i want to remember dan snyder as the person that he was to us
we had an exemplary ride with dan snyder um and just because he's white i'm not going to turn my
back on him i don't think it's because he's white. It's because he's a predator. Thank you. Yes, of course he is. Thank you. That was my argument.
Now, although she's not wrong about those parents, I totally do agree.
Just because you feel like nothing happened to your child does not mean the predator is innocent and that he's not a predator.
After that, Chris Massey, who is her son, he said, my story will be told from me, not from my parent friend a co-worker me and only me so please stop
messaging me about what my mom said respectfully so hopefully she talked that over with her son
um after she made that video because apparently he'll be coming forward with a story as well
you say talk that over what you mean like a little pop pop don't be talking back to me
no he talked that over with his mom like you don't know what happened obviously just because
we didn't open up or i didn't open up or something you don't know
don't mean that you can just go and take to social media and speak for me.
You know, because maybe he was a scared child as well at the time.
So more on Dan Schneider, though.
After watching the documentary, it's clear that Dan Schneider allowed his set to be extremely unsafe for kids.
Even though he wasn't flat out accused of sexually sexually abusing any children some of his behaviors and skits were super
inappropriate um he would also have the the kids giving him massages on set um yep and a lot of his
skits resembled scenes out of porn films ariana grande putting her foot in her mouth and moaning
and a lot of um and a lot of the the scene and most of the scene um
female actors stroking items that resembled a penis with a substance squirting out of it
and um any of the the pickle boy skits we do well i remember pickle boy yep yep yep it was a pickle
that sounds crazy absolutely that sounds so crazy it's not like a cousin of bang bro's
pickle boy yes so wait so are the families suing are they suing nickelodeon um i'm not sure about Absolutely. That sounds so crazy. That sounds like a cousin of Bang Bro's. Pickle Boy? Yes.
So are the families suing?
Are they suing Nickelodeon?
I'm not sure about that yet. That's why I'll be covering this over time.
But Drake asked people, Drake Bell asked people to be easy on Josh Peck.
So Josh Peck was Drake's co-star on Drake and Josh.
And Drake also recently got on social media to ask people not to go so hard on Josh Peck.
Now, their relationship just went their separate ways.
They were just like brothers or close friends in the show.
But that doesn't mean that they, you know, they were just working in business.
And a lot of people was like, yo, your co-star has been really quiet.
And so they've been in his comments like your silence is speaking louder than you saying anything.
And so Josh had made, I mean, Drake had made a video like, yo, go easy on him.
He has been supporting me behind closed doors.
He just doesn't.
Yeah, man, stop forcing people to try to say something publicly if they don't want to yet.
Everything doesn't have to be publicized.
You know what I mean?
And like I said, their friendship fizzled out because of other problems you know they were just two different people you know
they got married one started a rock band so that was that but he has been quietly supporting him
that's all damn man yeah all right wicked people that is just a worldwide mess but you know that's
just sad and crazy because you never know and none of these industries have to be like this
because the people make these industries.
You hear folks say the industry is wicked,
the industry is wicked.
No, what's wicked is the people in this industry.
These situations could be beautiful.
These opportunities could be beautiful,
but you got to get the predators up.
Yeah, but like you said,
there's no checks and balances.
Like, there should be somebody
that's watching over these shows
to make sure that this is not happening.
Not just the parents,
the producers and the people
that's giving these people millions of dollars
to create these things. I think people are watching it, that's giving these people millions of dollars to create this.
I think people are watching it,
but they're turning a blind eye
because of the money.
Because they're making money.
That's right.
Obviously.
And the reason why I say
the industry,
and I don't say,
you know,
obviously it is the people,
but it's the industry
because there's more people
that we,
it could be somebody that we know.
It could be somebody
that we don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
Like,
you don't know who is
and who isn't in
on any of these things.
So I just say the industry.
It can be very wicked.
Well, that is just with the worldwide mess.
Now, when we come back, Teslin Figaro will be joining us for some front page news.
So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
What up, Tiz? What's going on, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. What up, Tiz?
What's going on, DJ and me, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.
Happy Friday.
Good morning.
Thank you.
Well, let's start off this Friday with talking pigs.
Yeah, we're talking pigs.
Doctors have performed the first transplant of a genetically modified kidney from a pig into a living human.
Take a listen.
For the first time, doctors have transplanted a genetically modified pig kidney into a living person.
It happened at Mass General in Boston today.
They announced the medical milestone, a 62-year-old patient recovering well,
actually expecting to be discharged soon.
This announcement marks the latest development in what is called xenotransplantation,
the term that means healing human patients with cells, tissues
or organs from animals.
Doctors of course praise the man for his courage in taking on an experimental procedure.
They say that procedure though could be a first step towards major changes in treating
people with failing organs.
An abundant supply of organs resulting from this technological advance may go far to finally achieve health
equity and offer the best solution to kidney failure, a well-functioning kidney transplant
to all patients in need.
Man, if that becomes the norm, that's going to be a very tough decision for a Muslim to
make, okay?
Imagine you in the NOI and you need a kidney, but the only thing that can change your life
is a kidney from a pig.
You are crazy and then and then
what about what about like part pig part human identified as a pig like this god damn nah nah
charlamagne you don't eat pork you don't eat bacon so don't try don't try to mess with the pig now
but i'm saying that's why i say it'd be such a tough decision for a muslim to make like
i still i'm a bacon bro you're gonna need to do something in your life
on the line you want to be it for your children and the only thing that can save you is a pig
yeah now all jokes aside though i really do think this is amazing the doctors thought that the new
kidney uh that that this new kidney could last for years but they acknowledge that there are many
unknowns uh to an animal you know uh actually using animal transplants but the patient is very
grateful he said he saw it not only as one way to help him but a way to provide hope for the
thousands of people who need a transplant to survive now they actually started this just
give you a little bit of background experiments taking blood and skin from animals began in the
1600s so this has been i guess something that's been done before but researchers really started
looking at this in the 1960s so all jokes aside this is really like an amazing thing there's a
lot of people who are waiting uh for transplants and maybe you know this is the way to go what do
you guys think there there's some critics though that say they don't really like mixing the animals
and the humans and the you know they're not really big fans of it what do y'all think clearly those
are kind of like our cousins right because I mean we all animals yeah we were all created by the same entity in some way in some way shape or form and
we kind of but they're smarter and much better some of them are much smarter and much better
and we do help we do help each other live right because we have to eat these animals and stay
alive it's like a circle of life so to me this is just another extension of that yeah maybe they
give us some sense if they start mixing us together.
Animals don't be divide.
They don't care about color.
None of that.
They'll just be like, look, come over here with us.
Now, what if the kidney, the pig kidney start changing us?
Will we start wanting to play in the mud?
Start eating any damn thing?
That's what I was saying.
Back get big as hell for no reason.
Back already big.
You know what I'm saying?
Y'all ain't learned nothing from that sensitivity
i identify as a pig test that's what i was gonna say you're gonna start i did
i was waiting on one of y'all to say that'd be crazy you're getting in trouble for saying
something crazy be like look i got a pig kidney i identify as a pig that's right okay
all right guys in other, that's sensitivity training.
Clearly, y'all need to get that.
No, it didn't help at all.
Didn't help at all.
I want to give y'all an update on Carly Russell.
As you guys know, that had the whole world stopped when Alabama woman who confessed to lying about being kidnapped has pled.
She did plead guilty to criminal charges related to the hoax that set off a national search last summer.
Take a listen. Well, this all started on July 13th.
Carly Russell called 911 and she told authorities that she had seen this toddler walking along the highway near Birmingham.
And then she reappeared two days later, claiming that she had been kidnapped and taken in a vehicle.
But very quickly, it became clear that she had falsely reported this crime. Today in court, she stood up and it was an emotional day.
She had reversed previously, pled not guilty, but today acknowledging her guilt and saying that she
was sorry to her community and of course, to the people who spent time and resources looking for
her. She's not going to spend time behind bars. The judge felt that that wasn't a
good use of resources. Instead, she's going to have to pay restitution about $17,000 and do
about 100 hours of community service while under probation. Yeah, they also said she must continue
receiving medical health counseling as a condition for the probation.
She spoke up in court. She said she wanted to generally she wanted to apologize for her actions and the resulting negative impact inflicted onto others.
Said I made a grave mistake while trying to fight through various emotional issues and stress.
I'm extremely remorseful for the panic, fear and various range of negative emotions that were experienced across the nation she said i want to acknowledge and take accountability for the pain
and embarrassment that i inflicted upon my family my church uh friends neighbors community and all
of those who are directly involved in search efforts for me yeah that sounds fair year probation
18 000 in restitution 100 000 community service and like you just said tess most importantly
as part of her probation she got to continue to receive mental
health counseling you know because clearly
she's going through something mentally and emotionally that will
cause her to do this so yeah I think that's fair
I'm not mad at it. I don't think people sometimes
just do things and then when they get caught it's like oh my
God like alright
you know what I'm saying because I'm telling you like I've done
things I've never done anything to this extent
like this behind a guy but like when you
are longing for that attention
and you like, yo, you'll go to some drastic measures, but that don't mean you mentally
ill or you need to, you know what I mean?
That's true.
I know, to me, it's a nice little clean up, but you know what I mean?
I think what she got is fair, but all the mental health, it's just, Shorty just did
that behind a dude.
I get what you're saying.
Sometimes you just make poor decisions.
Sometimes you just do it and you learn from it.
I think she did learn from it.
I know they said it was about the guy.
There was a lot of speculation and conversation about that.
But I would really like to hear from her.
I wonder if she'll ever sit down with somebody and kind of say.
I don't need to hear from Carly Russell.
I kind of want to know those Charlamagne Lans.
Listen, if Reese and Teeza got a book deal, Carly Russell should.
You know what?
You should write our first book.
Under your company, Carly Russell, You know what? You should write our first book. You know, under your company.
Carly Russell.
Real story.
You should write that.
I don't like rewarding bad behavior like that.
That's not a reward.
But I just kind of want to know.
I'm just curious.
I don't want to have to depend on Tubi to tell the story.
I'm sure she'll tell the story.
Tubi got the story, though.
Tubi got the whole background and everything.
Tubi got the origin.
But they didn't.
She didn't work with Tubi on that.
She didn't.
Yeah, she did.
No, she didn't. Tubi in the Pentagon. Carly Russell. Oh Tooby on that. Tooby in the Pentagon.
Carly Russell.
Carly Russell in the Pentagon
worked with Tooby to do her movie.
Thank you, Tez.
Thank you, Tez.
Thank you, Tez.
Where can we find Tez Charlamagne?
Oh, you can find Tez.

she was up here with Kadeem Hardison.
She's up here by herself today,
but I love when Jasmine Guy pulls up.
That's right.
So we'll kick with her next.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club,
and we got a special guest in the building.
The legendary...
Jasmine Guy.
Welcome back.
Good morning.
How you feeling?
I feel great.
I love doing your show the last time, and I got a lot of positive feedback.
People love you.
Come on.
It was a different kind of interview, though, than they used to.
My daddy was like, you a little too comfortable.
You act like they were at your house.
That was that champagne, right?
Yes, that cheap ass champagne, whatever that was.
I didn't even like it.
I was drinking it.
But my father said that you would put more in when I was looking at Kadeem.
That's what he said.
I don't think so.
He said, whenever you looked at Kadeem, That's what he said. He said, whenever you looked at Kadeem,
he poured more in there. So I'm
thinking I'm just drinking one glass.
I probably had four
glasses of that.
That cold duck.
That assi smolanti, whatever that was.
But I drank it anyway
at 7 o'clock in the morning. How embarrassing
is that? No, it got you
to talking. And Kadeem was just sitting back there
just laughing.
No, it was good because
you ask questions that people don't usually ask.
You know, we get the same questions over and over,
especially about a different world.
And you've done so much more since then.
Right.
Absolutely.
Like right now, you won your first Emmy this year.
Yes.
Congratulations. How does that feel? she went for the Chronicles of
Jessica woo yes yeah that was a trip so I was going to Mexico to hang out with
my girlfriends and I land and I get all these texts from people saying
congratulations on your Emmy nomination and I really thought people were messing with me
Wow
I didn't even call them back
I said, whatever
I wasn't even
Yeah
And then when I realized I really had been nominated
I thought it was for the show Harlem
Oh, okay
Chronicles of Jessica Wu I had done
It was before COVID
It was a long time ago and I only worked
on it for a day it was a very interesting project to me because the production company was a couple
a small black production company the superhero in the in the piece had autism but her powers
that whatever put her on the spectrum made her a superhero their daughter
had a an autistic child anyway so i said well i'll do it because i know after this they're
going to need distribution and um who knew wow that's what you know what i'm saying
my love for them and what i know about you know pitching ideas you're gonna need a name I know
I've heard it all and and I said well I'll be your name this is gonna be good and it was a short
series like a webisode series the other uh Oscar nomination I got was also from an independent
black company and it was um my nephew Emmett and I played Emmett Till's
aunt on the night that he was taken
from their home.
And I was like, oh, I do not
want to go to Mississippi. And I'm telling you
we stayed right down
the street from where he got abducted.
Man. And Mississippi
still got that same energy. Thank you.
Nothing to change. I was going to say I felt
ghost. You know, and I did it and they got nominated for an oscar night when the director called me he was
a um a graduate student from nyu film school his mentors was spike lee and casey lambs right
beautiful brother and the and the crew and everybody i had a great artistic experience
but when he told me
we, you know,
we got nominated
for an Oscar,
I thought he was
messing with me.
That says a lot, though.
Like about how,
you know,
I guess black actors
and actresses
are conditioned
in Hollywood
that when they get told
that they're even nominated,
they don't believe it.
It's a joke.
When you ignore it
long enough,
you get the message.
I got the message.
If you're not nominating a different world, Debbie Allen, Susan Fells, our wardrobe department, any other actor on that show, I stopped focusing on y'all giving me my props.
I know who gives me my props.
And I told the actors, I said, we just got to be good.
You know, forget all these accolades or whatever they
obviously do you know how many times they said to me even on i think i did dennis miller remember
dennis miller had a talk show he started with so how does it feel being between number one and three
and i was stunned because i just sat down you know you come out all cute and what I was like
he said that wasn't a good lead-in question I said no it wasn't you're talking about Cosby and
Cheers everybody said we were number two because we came between them okay and that was the first
question that was the message that was the message that we got as actors as as performers, and we never got our props for not just the acting,
but it was Debbie Allen, Susan Fells,
me, three black women in charge of that show.
You know what I mean?
We could have been on the cover of Essence,
and I just knew who really saw us
and who really understood us.
Why didn't the network fight for that?
It's the same white motherfuckers
that just look.
Okay, so,
Carsey Warner,
our producers,
also produced a show
with Whoopi Goldberg
called Baghdad Cafe,
Grace Under Fire,
and The Roseanne Show.
And The Cosby Show, right?
So, we're one of five.
They never asked us
to do anything.
They asked Roseanne Barr to sing the national anthem of the show, right? So we're one of five. They never asked us to do anything.
They asked Roseanne Barr to sing the National Anthem, in which she grabbed
her crotch because she can't sing.
But we got five singers on our show.
That's crazy. You could have had Don,
me, Cree, you know, never.
I don't know. I just got things,
we got things on our own.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired? Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary? Consider
this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out
of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I,
King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader ofonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tribe owned country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets. We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

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

16th, 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.
My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the
plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption
that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.
Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And I never felt a part of that network.
Then when I saw what happened with Friends, I was like, yo, that would have helped us.
It would have helped us with work.
After the show, it would have given us some props, you know, that we could have used for future projects.
I pitched a lot.
I had my own production company after a different world
all of my projects were rejected um but then i started to see them that was weird you know what
i mean it's like a bad relationship after a while you gotta understand okay i ain't what you want
i gotta ask you know you mentioned earlier that you know when you do these interviews people ask
the same questions about a different world are you tired of talking about a different world since you had?
I mean, that was 30 years ago.
But then I see you on the HBCU tours going from school to school.
I see you having those conversations.
Are you just done with talking about that part of your life?
I'm not done with that part of my life because people aren't exploring.
They're asking me the same thing.
What's your favorite episode? They want me to say the wedding show that wasn't my favorite episode that's your favorite episode right i love when the kids ask questions so we go to these schools
we have a moderator this past now when we did spell memoir house and clark we had seven of us
i love that too yeah usually it's no more than four of us.
And when the kids get to ask the questions, their questions are different.
They're not asking those same things.
I mean, really, you could do your research and know the answer already.
Of course.
But the kids are like, when you were 19, blah, blah, blah.
When you first left home, what did you think about your character this i mean
intelligent especially them spelman girls first of all they acted like we were rock stars

first prize overall seven year old over a thousand girls first prize but what yes they get busy they
take it serious six days a week four hours a day gymnastics flipping backflip dancing wow yes it's
a lot it's a lot but i i've learned to love it like really
enjoy it but i you know as a dad i always think like well what's next after dance like what do
you do as a dancer like when you get to high school and college like what happens from that
did you know what you wanted to do going into alvin ailey okay so when i was a little kid i just
kept asking for more classes like once a a week, Saturday, turned into three,
turned into five, you know. And when I saw Alvin Ailey and I saw Revelations, I realized that I
could do this as a job. I didn't realize that you could dance as a job other than be a dance teacher.
That's all I was seeing. And I told my daddy, I said, I have my calling.
I want to dance with Alvin Ailey.
So from 12 to 17, that was the trajectory.
Kind of on the level where you are with your girls.
Because I danced every day after that.
I went to performing arts high school.
I joined Atlanta Ballet.
Went to North Carolina School of the Arts over the summer because I knew that I was not technically proficient enough to get into the Ailey Company.
But I was also performing.
I played Anita in West Side Story.
And I was young.
I was like 13.
And I could already act.
And I could sing.
Because, you know, you can't fake dancing. You can either dance or you can't dance. I mean, it's an sing because you know you can't fake dancing you can either dance or you can't
I mean it's a it's an athletic you know so that's when I knew I want to talk about another training
you probably got because you know you you carry yourself with a certain sense of regalness right
when you look at Debbie Allen when you look at Felicia Rashad they have that same regal energy
what did what did those two teach you oh my gosh everything i mean debbie
was ahead of me every time people told me well you're mostly a dancer we don't know about you
acting or you're a comic actress we don't know about you doing drama in my mind i go debbie did
i just let them tell me what they thought i couldn't do. And it wasn't just that I knew I could.
She's already done it.
She just did it.
She had two lines in the Faye movie.
When you see her next, she's directing, choreographing the show.
She's producing.
You can't let other people tell you what you can do.
You don't know.
And the other mantra I always had especially like when
people were certain choreographers you know it's not a nice world the dance world they're reading
me or cussing me out whatever and I would say you don't know you're not God all I in my mind so I
wouldn't cry because I was like don't you know don't you stand up here and let him make you cry
because he's saying you know you think you're something you'll never be anything and I was like, don't you stand up here and let him make you cry. Because he's saying, you know, you think you're something.
You'll never be anything.
And I was like, you don't know.
You're not God.
That's right.
How are you going to proclaim my destiny?
So you have to be able to talk to yourself.
And Debbie is the same way.
Felicia is the same way.
They have a sense of self.
Because Debbie told me about how
they rejected her at North Carolina School of the Arts because she didn't have a body
for dance. She got a booty and whatever. And she said, and I took this booty all the way
to Broadway, darling. Okay, you don't want me in your school? Well, I'm gonna go to Howard.
And then I'm going to be on broadway and then and then
and then you can't let other people tell you what you are and what you're not and i refuse that i
refuse that on um just a general level like there were little dancers in my class that were great
dancers but a little chunky or whatever and i heard how the teachers talked to them destroying
them how dare you how dare you take your responsibility and do that to her?
You don't know what she's going to be.
And you're only going to go with skinny, tall people.
I just don't like that.
If you're going to teach kids an art form, don't add your bitter two cents to it.
Because you didn't with your fat ass.
That's not politically correct.
The politically correct term is big back.
No, it's not.
Don't know.
We just can't do women say that.
Or is that a male?
No, Charlamagne.
What?
Yeah, he discovered that.
I'm not saying big back.
Yeah, he developed that term.
Big back sounds better than fat ass.
It sounds like a dude term.
Yeah, a dude.
That dude right there.
He's gonna think I'm gay.
I'm like, yo, that baby got big back.
That's not going to sound right coming from us.
That's not a rumor I heard that you were gay.
I've been hearing that before.
Where did that start?
It just comes up every now and then.
If they don't see me with a man.
I was at an Oscar party at Georgia's.
And I was dancing with Debbie.
And all the famed dancers were there.
Like, you know, she keeps all her people.
They got me, you know, photo of the week, me and Debbie.
And they talking about me in the hair salon.
I knew it.
I think they together.
And Norm calls me.
He loved it.
I said, well, I'm single.
I don't like that.
He's like, yeah, that's some funny shit. I said, well, I'm single. I don't like that. He's like, yeah, that's some funny shit.
I said, funny for you?
Because you're like, yeah.
I'm with Debbie and she's with Jasmine?
Then it came up when I was at A-Lease.
I don't know what it is. I don't
care, but I don't want to have to undo
it. Yeah, and then I, you know,
in New York, I got hit
on and stuff, and I was i was like okay but what made
you think that i like girls because it bothered me you know i was just developing into my womanhood
you got hit on by some stuff what maybe it's the timbaland i didn't have timbaland i was at cafe
walk all right and it was funk night.
And I would go there by myself sometimes.
You can't always have somebody come with you, you know.
Sometimes I think it's because I'm alone.
You know, my best friend at Ailey's, we were walking through the park. And unbeknownst to us, we were walking in the wooded gay area.
The wooded gay?
I don't know what you call it.
A glen? A valley? The gay section. The wooded gay section. The wooded gate? I don't know what you call it. A glen? A valley?
The wooded gate section.
The wooded gate section.
The dale.
The dale of the gay thing.
The gate section with shade.
With shade.
The wooded gate section.
Okay.
And they step to you.
Well somebody saw us there.
Oh man.
And we didn't know we were in a certain area or whatever.
Cause they, I saw us there. And we didn't know we were in a certain area or whatever.
Because I don't know.
And then when I got back to the school, they were like, you know, they're saying that you and so and so are.
I was like, I don't even have a boyfriend.
How can I have a girlfriend?
Okay.
Like, I can't even work, you know.
Right.
It doesn't bother me.
But when I was younger, it did because I was still developing.
And it was pulling up on you.
I was developing as a young woman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Aw.
All right, we're still kicking it with Jasmine, guys, so don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy on this Friday.
Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Jasmine Guy in the building.
Charlamagne, would you ever do a memoir?
I mean, we know you got the Uncensored coming out this weekend, but would you ever do a memoir?
I would need some help.
You know, I would just need some help.
I can't write it myself, by myself.
Oh, yeah.
Most people get help with their memoirs.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I loved reading Jada Pinkett's book, Worthy, because like Envy was saying earlier,
and you were saying, it was such a privacy in the 90s.
So to get those stories from that era, when she talks about you and Pac and just y'all friendship, just that friendship of black Hollywood.
It's just like, man.
And I was like privileged enough to hang with them because they're so much younger than me.
You know, it was just easy.
You know, her birthday party.
And we went to the Dragonfly, which was funk night that night.
Oh, Gaze was in that too that night.
I like me some funk, obviously.
I'm like, it's funk night at the Dragonfly.
But, you know, accepting of me.
Because, well, I'm 62.
So when I'm on the show, I'm 25, 26, 27.
They 18, 19.
Now it's not a big deal.
But back then I wasn't hanging out with no, you know.
I remember I went to a restaurant with Cree.
And as we were walking to the restaurant, she said, do they card?
I said, card?
I mean, I had never been carded.
Because 18, you know.
I said, how old are you?
She said, I just turned 18.
I said, what the hell am I doing?
You know, we're 18 year olds.
Are you kidding me?
Kadeem too.
I saw them as kids.
I like grown ass men when I was young.
30, 32.
But now that they have embraced me, I was young. 30, 32. But now that they have embraced me,
I appreciate it.
Right.
Because they kept me current
and kept me interested
because Jada and Cree
are out-the-box thinkers.
They bring creative ideas
to the table
that I never would have thought of.
Right.
And I love that.
And of course, you know,
Cree keeps me laughing.
What about Pac?
Pac and I would like that too.
He always had ideas.
I felt so unaccomplished.
You know, because he would say something and then do it.
I would tell him an idea and not write it and not finish it or it's still like on my shelf.
Mostly I wanted him to know that i felt he was a great
actor and i heard the murmurings of oh he's just being himself or whatever they're just riding on
his fame as a rapper i said everybody that raps ain't acting on on there there were a lot of
rappers that had movies that man can act yeah i mean his performances were after chain and I just
wanted him to know that and not listen to that one time in Newsweek they used
to have little blurbs like star of the week or celebrity of the week just a
little blurb and they said and surprisingly handsome rapper. I said, what the f***? It was surprising.
How insulting.
Yeah, he was fine as s***.
It was...
I didn't mean...
Sorry, girl.
Yes.
Why is that surprising?
Yeah.
He's supposed to be ugly
because he's a rapper?
I found it racist.
Then when I got to...
When I won one of my image awards and I go to the press tent,
there were two little white girls there,
and all they did was ask me about what I felt about Tupac getting an image award.
They kept asking me if I thought he deserved an image award,
and I said, well, I don't know what the controversy is.
Well, you know, because of Dolores Tucker and this that
and other and I didn't know and I said what can you tell me which songs you're
referring to at the time I had only heard dear mama Brenda had a baby and
keep your head up I honestly didn't know what the controversy was about because
these are all uplifting female and she said well i don't know um which song i haven't heard the cd i said well
why don't you do your homework and then come to me and ask me right i was so mad and the thing he
saw that article and heard that i stood up for him and she never forgot that. And I think that's part of why she was cool with him staying with me.
After he got shot.
Yeah.
Because she didn't, based on what they knew about me and seeing me on the show,
she didn't realize that I was like that.
You know what I mean?
And one of her friends said, oh, you a soldier now.
And I was like, I'm sorry, are we at war?
I didn't know what she meant by it were you afraid during
that time like when you took pock in after he got shot did you feel like what if they come
looking for him and i'm here yeah there were times because of the um the regularity of my um
going in and out of my apartment i felt like it would be easy if I had been on the radar for anybody to, you know, follow me or come up.
And so there was that.
And I didn't live in a secured building like a doorman building.
And I was scared of the like I had never seen a real bullet wound just, you know, on TV like NYPD Blue.
And when I played a badass in this movie but i was concerned
about that you know actually caring for the wounds and making sure he was going to be okay
so you had to nurse him you had to nurse him back into yeah he should have been in the hospital for
at least two or two or three more days on antibiotics i remember he just walked out he
signed himself out so you had to help him out and help me and help him get himself back together. When he left Bellevue, he went to his girlfriend's and he realized it was equally accessible.
He just felt like a sitting duck in the hospital.
But everybody knew he was at his girlfriend's.
Nobody knew that we were friends.
So him coming to my apartment was more like discreet diarrhea van frank yeah
i just put food under the bookcase yeah yeah it was on the download i didn't know what kind of
publicity might have come from that but it wasn't anything i was interested in publicizing so i just
shut the family down i was like you tell anybody where you spend those you really you know because i didn't
do that for that reason i it was a personal reason that's right and i that was one of those moments
where you know you y'all don't get that and they they respected it all these years until the
documentary they've been wanting to i guess thank me But their love and I'm part of that family now has been enough.
I don't need public thanks for what I did on a personal level.
That's right.
The documentary said, OK, Jasmine, you can talk about that part of it now.
Because I really thought, well, just, you know, I'll go to my grave with certain things not because I'm ashamed but I don't like the exploitation factor of things that you do
in your personal life for your kids or for people you love or whatever you know
yeah I'm sure you talk about this on Uncensored this is my last question like
when's the last time you spoke to him? Tupac? Like before you died do you remember the
last conversation you had or last time you saw him I was visiting
A Fainian
Stone Mountain
When they had a house there
And he came through
Now this is after
He'd been in prison
For 11 months
Okay
So I hadn't seen him
For a while
Yeah
So I saw him at the house
That was the last time
You remember the conversation
Or you don't
That's personal
It was just like
Hey you know
And he was like
I'm strong now
Because he was infirm'm strong now because he was
infirm so he wanted me to see his you know little prison push-up muscles
knuckles were all black from doing it on you know he wanted i was like yeah you look good
and then he went out with his friends and you know i hung out with a fainting the thing that
um really hurt my feelings about
him getting shot like that when he was with me i thought i was helping him go to the next
part of his life like grow evolve yeah i was like you're gonna go to prison and then get shot again
and i knew that second shooting wasn't the wounds he had the first time were in his appendages, not in his lungs.
I was so
disappointed.
Yeah.
And he told me he was gonna
he wasn't gonna make it past 25.
I always thought he was just talking s***
all the time. That's legend.
Put that in the book. I was like,
I'm not writing a book about you.
Stop telling me that.. I was like, I'm not writing a book about you. Stop telling me that.
I'd be like, I'm never telling anybody anything about this experience.
I thought it was ridiculous for him to say he wasn't going to live past 25.
I treated him like I treated my little cousins that make these statements about life.
So that hurt. I can't wait for people to hear your story. You lived these statements about life. Yeah. So that hurt.
I can't wait for people
to hear your story.
You lived a life,
Ms. Guy.

Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of
concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of
Ladonia. I'm Jackson the first King of Kaperburg. I am the supreme leader of the
Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I

Thank you so much.
The news is real, brother. Jessica Lawrence, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lies. Don't do no lies. whatever just only got six minutes so let's get to just with the worldwide on the breakfast club she's a coach she was able to get y'all to see something
and understand something that nobody could get you to see it's
time to set it off thank you monique thank you um monica asked ray j to stop speaking about her
and brandy's potential tour so recently ray j came to the breakfast club and he verbally announced
an uh encouraged tour with his sister brandy and monica with co-headline and he was asking
questions like who would open and all of that type of stuff and uh monica saw the interview and also recalled from the other day ray j commenting
on her live about the tour idea he actually like kept commenting so she would see it but of course
she ignored it on her live she obviously felt the way about it and took to her instagram story to
tell ray j chill monica and um monica said that she received no Alright my bad
Alright so when she posted she basically
She basically said she received
No contract or no calls about the tour
While also asking Ray J to stop speaking
On her in public but I like
This specific part in her
In her I'm not going to say rant
In her response to Ray J
She said Brandy is a legend she's one of
One with an extensive catalog That I deeply respect and a voice sent from heaven.
The conversation being had without she and I is beginning to muddy the water severely.
And I agree with her.
I agree with her too.
But I thought when he was up here and he was just saying that, even when he commented on her story the other day,
I thought that this is something that he presented to them already.
Right.
But they might have been like, boy, get here you know what i mean i thought that he had already spoken to them but he didn't also and i also believe that rej don't be meaning
no harm or whatever but he just has to know there are certain avenues and you've been in the business
for a long time you know you know how to move you know what i mean these are two two legends
i actually he was just putting it in the atmosphere, I thought.
I thought he just said
that's something that
he would love to see.
You know who I think
Ray J's actually doing that for?
I think he's actually
doing that for his sister.
Because I promise you,
he's probably having
these conversations
with his sister behind the scenes,
Brandy.
And you know,
she may or may not be with it.
So he's putting it out
into the ecosystem
so that people start
talking about it.
And then maybe that'll move
Brandy to want to do
it a little bit more or even promoters you know i mean promoters start making offers the live
nations and whoever else in the world yeah so why not speak with monica about it too i mean
that's your sister's not the only one that you're asking you get them and even i don't even know
if brandy's doing shows monica's doing a ton of shows like monica's always on the road i really
don't see right monica's on the road with Nicki. Monica's on the road with Nicki right now.
Right, right, right. But, I mean, obviously, this wouldn't be
a tour tomorrow.
You know, it would take time and all of that stuff.
Rehearsals, set bills, and all of that.
But that's why Monica is saying
I received no contract or no calls about it.
You know, so I'm totally
with her. But Ray J did
respond to Monica's comments.
So, Angela, you weigh up with you with an apology and play number two.
Listen, Monica, if I said anything wrong, I apologize.
You are a great artist.
You and Brandi have made history together.
And all I want to do is just kind of like shake it up a little bit to get y'all to see that.
To see what?
I don't know.
It was cut short.
But yeah, he just finished to finish the line that's
all right but yeah he basically he want people to see that it's a big money maker and there are two
legends in the game and they should do it i'm all for the tour i am too and we also gotta let's not
act like this is the 90s because you know um i thought about this and i've said this before
i prefer monica's catalog. Brandy's amazing.
She's an incredible talent,
great songs,
but I personally prefer
Monica's catalog.
So what Monica also said was
neither one of us
are going to be an opener.
We're going to have an opener
and then we're going to get
to the co-headline.
Yeah, and I love how she...
You ain't say that
the other day, Charlamagne.
When I was trying
to put it together,
y'all made it seem like
Monica was the opener
and I was like,
just because... No, no, no, listen. I said that said that all right calm down i did say i say yeah i do
think that brandy should you know end the show monica opens but i also did say if they're co
headlining who would they have come but you know before them they can have like other rmbx but who
comes out first maybe open was a bad word yeah i
actually said they should go like like song for song like they did in the verses like monica
brandy comes out does song monica comes out does song or monica comes out brandy comes out into
the song that's what i said but then that's a replica of the verses and i just feel like we
don't need that i if i'm listening to monica that's the vibe i'm on that's true if everyone
listen to brandy that's the vibe i'm on you know's true, too. I don't like back and forth. You go.
Now you go.
Now you go, girl.
Like, no.
No.
So that's it.
Hopefully it happens.
Hopefully it does happen.
And hopefully they reach out to Monica and give her an offer and stop playing with her.
All right.
Philly rapper Quilly.
Why is his name Quilly?
He claims Meek Mill told his entourage they couldn't come with him to Diddy's parties.
So Quilly sat down and did a podcast.
Lord have mercy.
When he spoke on an anonymous person in Medy's parties. So Quilly sat down and did a podcast when he spoke on
an anonymous person in Meek's
crew. He said basically
this is a real short story. He said
basically that this anonymous person
was not allowed to go to certain Diddy
parties with Meek. Probably
only the daytime ones.
Yeah, that's what they allegedly
that's what he said.
Oh, but it is audio.
We got audio.
My bad.
Go ahead.
Did he?
The party parties?
He was in Cali going to a couple parties with Meek, right?
And Meek told my inside man that he can't go to two or three parties yet.
So he got left, like, at the crib or Airbnb, hotel, mansion, wherever they was.
Like, he couldn't go.
Monday and Tuesday, you can go to this party.
But Wednesday and Thursday, when we go to this other mansion party,
you got to stay back.
That's just coming from my inside out.
That party, when they say Diddy Party Party,
yeah, a few people was around at that time.
They couldn't go.
That better leave me alone.
That better leave me alone, man.
The weekly parties are probably
you know PG-13
real cool
networking
they serve hors d'oeuvres
you know stuff like that
but them weekend parties
Meek like
uh uh
you can't go to these
what?
that better leave me alone
that's all
because here's the thing man
it sounds funny now
when you just hear
Diddy
it just sounds
hilarious right but like that don't mean anything just because a person says hey Because here's the thing, man. It sounds funny now. When you just hear Diddy, it just sounds hilarious, right?
But that don't mean anything just because a person says,
hey, only you can come to this party.
That means just don't bring your crew.
Yeah, he probably was protecting them.
That has nothing to do with protecting them either.
Okay.
I mean, allegedly.
You don't invite everybody to your house.
Absolutely not. That's my point. But Diddy has, I'm't invite everybody to your house. Absolutely not.
That's my point.
But Diddy has, I'm pretty sure Diddy has a house for parties, and then he probably has
a house for the party parties, and then he has his personal house.
What if the party party's at his personal house, and he don't want them at the personal
house?
Okay, that's what I'm saying.
I don't know these Negroes.
I know them, your people, but don't bring them.
Right.
Okay.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay, so he was protecting Diddy. Who was protecting Diddy? These niggas from Philly. Like, don't bring them right okay that's all i'm saying okay so he was protecting diddy who was protecting diddy these niggas were philly like don't be
bringing all these philly people man yeah there you go yes yes yes okay i understand what you're
saying would you would you want a bunch of people from philly no not at all i wouldn't want a bunch
of them wild ass philly niggas you're right you're right but I don't want to go to D.E.V.
cause I was evil
and that was from an academics podcast right
I don't know so look
Meek Mill speaks out on his decision to finally
block DJ Academics
give me some hand claps for that because he is growing up
this is what he
surely this is what he should have been
after threatening to kill that man but yeah he he should have been dead after threatening to kill that man.
But yeah, he definitely should have
been blocked then because there ain't no way
you letting this man get you
hyped up like that. Academics has been
bullying Meek Mill. He has been social media
bullying Meek Mill.
You should block your bullies.
It's because Meek is letting him.
Academics just goes away
when you don't talk about him.
That's Ack's world. You're not going to beat It's because Meek is letting him. The response. Yo, academics just goes away when you don't talk about him. Like, he goes away.
Here's the thing.
That's Ack's world.
You're not going to beat Ack in his world.
How are you going to beat Ack in social media?
Oh, I don't know.
That's his world.
Now, you know, you catch him in the streets, that's a whole different thing.
I don't wish no violence on nobody.
But if you catch him in the streets, that's a whole different thing.
But you're not going to beat him in social media.
Unless you're another internet person.
Unless you're another.
That's right.
For sure.
That's right.
But you got to be an internet personality. Yeah. Me you can't that got a rap horrible on the internet i

Okay, okay.
All right.
It's just with the mess for the second hour.
And I'm not coming back because they cut my third one today too.
No. Alright.
Charlamagne, who you giving your donkey to, man?
Man, for after the hour, we have a woman named
Michelle Young who needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with her.
Alright, we'll get to that next. So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast
Club.
Some donkey today just saw themselves. I be a fake-ass Charlamagne.
Some donkey today has just sold himself.
I've been watching you, Charlamagne.
I was ready for you.
I'm a donkey.
I'm a donkey.
I'm a donkey.
I never heard of a donkey the other day.
What is it?
I'm a donkey.
Say it again, Charlamagne.
I'm a donkey.
Yes.
You are a donkey.
I'll show you how to act a donkey.
Everything that Charlamagne is saying is true. Yes. Yes, Don here today for Friday, March 22nd, goes to a woman named Michelle Young.
She's 46 years old and she's from Burlington, Iowa. OK, she faces charges of reckless use of fire, explosives, destructive devices and possession of drugs for paraphernalia.
You know, earlier we was talking about the Carly Russell story and And Carly Russell is on probation, and as part of her probation,
she has to go to mental health counseling.
And Jess, you said something I agree with.
Everything isn't a mental health issue.
Some people just make poor choices.
Yep.
Very true.
So I'm interested to hear what you think about Michelle Young's situation.
Did she make a bad choice, or is there something emotionally and mentally wrong?
Let's go to KCRG ABCc 9 news for the report please six a burlington woman is facing charges after police say she set fire to a porch
according to a des moines county arrest affidavit it happened just after 4 30 p.m yesterday on
vineyard street police say when they arrived on scene 46 year old michelle young was standing on
the porch she told them a friend lived in the, but the resident who saw the incident on her
home security camera said she didn't know this woman at all and had never seen her before.
Young is charged with reckless use of fire and possession of drug paraphernalia.
What does that sound like?
Mental health issues or just portraits?
Let me give you some more information.
Let me give you some more information.
Michelle Young set her friend's porch on fire because her friend didn't answer. choice uh let me give you some more information okay let me give you some more information michelle
young set her friend's porch on fire because her friend didn't answer now full disclosure this is
how i be feeling when people i love don't answer the phone when i know my wife is home and she
don't answer the phone i be wanting to set things on fire when i call jess hilarious and she don't
answer but then i see her back-to-back posting videos and pictures on her story i'd be wanting
to set things on fire but i don't because i'm mentally and emotionally stable oh and one more fun fact michelle young
said this was her friend's house but as you heard in the news report she didn't know this woman
and the woman didn't know her would you like to know some more details michelle young told officers
she believed the home belonged to a friend she also said that she saw a sign that said which is welcome
and because she was a witch she identifies as a witch she lit some items on fire set the porch
on fire now i don't know too many people who have a sign in their yard that says which is welcome
unless it's halloween was this a sign that's been up since halloween was there even really a sign
and even though the sign says which is is welcome, welcome to do what?
Did the sign say you're welcome to commit arson?
Was it a fire sign, meaning she was an Aries, Leo, Sagittarius?
All I'm simply wondering is, Jess, do you think this woman needs some type of mental health counseling?
Or does she need an exorcism?
Before you answer, would you like to see her picture?
Yes.
Would you like to see her picture?
Yes.
Nick, zoom in on this. Oh, my okay oh wow we can't play a game now mentally ill and an exorcism
because she's gonna need therapy after to get the demon out of her is there a difference between
demonic possession and mental disorder see some of y'all need a psychotherapist but some of y'all
need an exorcist.
Okay?
And that's the problem.
That's the issue we don't discuss enough,
and that's demonic possession.
You know I encourage y'all to go to therapy all the time,
but some of y'all don't just need a therapist.
Y'all actually need an exorcist.
Okay?
We love to say that ain't nothing but the devil,
but y'all don't even know what the devil looks like.
Look at this mugshot.
Look, America.
Okay, Ben, look and put it down. Not America. the devil looks like look at this mugshot look america
this woman looks like one version of five different characters from the wizard of oz
how can one person simultaneously look like the cowardly lion the scarecrow dorfee the tin man
and the wicked witch of the west look see when you dance with the devil, the devil does not alternate. The devil changes you.
You're not going to tell me this woman has not been changed.
Okay.
This woman did not always look like Gary Owens if he transitioned into Gail Owens.
She do give a little Gary.
A little.
A lot.
This Gary's sister.
It's either Gary's sister or Gary.
Okay.
Right.
Gary's going to get that Netflix special one way or the other.
You hear me?
Lord.
Please give Michelle Young the sweet sounds of the Hamilton.
Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
You are the donkey of the day.
Yee-haw.
Yee-haw.
Damn.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.
She looks like the Joker if the Joker wanted to speak to a manager.
Yeah, she does. Oh, my God.
She does, man.
Look at this woman, man.
She looks scary. Oh, my God.
She looks like she holds a barbecue every January 6th.
Insurrection party.
This is Gary On's sister.
I don't care what nobody says.
This is a Gary On's.
A Gary On's that, you know what?
I'm going to transition into Gail, and then I'm going to get my first Netflix special.

Jay Allen and Nikki Biles
That's right and we're going to kick it with them next
So don't move, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning
The Breakfast Club
Good morning everybody
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious
Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club
We got some special guests in the building
People are nervous about these three individuals They think they're going to ruin their lives with this new documentary Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building.
People are nervous about these three individuals.
They think they're going to ruin their lives with this new documentary.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have Jay Allen, Nikki Biles, and Uncle Luke.
The documentary freakness, the wildest party never told.
Streaming now on Hulu.
Welcome.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Thank you for having us.
Good, good.
Now, we've all seen the doc.
And a lot of people who haven't were very nervous.
They thought they were going to see older videos of Uncle Luke throwing money on him.
They thought they were going to see videos of themselves at Freakniks, you know, twerking on cars.
They didn't call it twerking back then.
It was booty shaking on cars.
They weren't going to see that.
But the doc is not really like that.
It kind of explains the story of the origin how it started how it helped so many people
how it helped the land of music and and all that so break down a documentary and why you guys wanted
to put this together yeah we were a few years behind you know what the essence of freak new
was to be able to attend so when nicky and i created the original concept you know we we knew
we were missing the stories and that's when we went and found uncle luke and found jermaine so that we could tell the story the right way and essentially as we were
putting it together everybody had a freak next story so what you see is a hybrid of everybody
from the dc metro club to you know the people that were at the end telling the story about
how now what y'all know about freeny because y'all weren't that y'all weren't there so y'all
must have heard stories from uncles aunties what's anybody coming back like you will
wait for them to get back so you can see what happened they coming back with the um the the
shirts with the big looney tune characters and the bart simpsons and all of that and the music
all of that coming back and you're like oh i can't wait to go only for it to end before you can get
there this is interesting though i think about it jay and Nicki, y'all wanted to do the doc.
But the OGs, like the Lukes, who just were there, provided the soundtrack for it.
Did y'all not want to tell the story, Luke?
Just because you're like, you know what?
Some things are best left unsaid.
You know what I mean?
Some things are best left off the record.
No, no.
I mean, for me, it's always telling the stories.
Because my story has never been told.
And I looked at my whole career, you know, and my stories, you know, have not been documented,
you know, for whatever reason. And, you know, when I jumped on this, it was about, you know,
my whole life story. You know, I did a deal with a film company, and I looked at the actual script that was written for my biopic,
and then I was like, half of my stories ain't being told.
So I then entered into a deal with Swerve Films
to be able to do these different parts of my life stories.
So when Jay and Nicky mentioned Freak Nick,
and I was like, that's another part of my life story so when jay and nikki mentioned freak nick and uh i was like that's another part of my
life story that wouldn't have been in a long scripted uh film you know and so be be amongst
that story and other stories you know so you know that that i'm doing uh for the next couple years
you know documenting those stories and putting them out you know this is just one part of it
could you ever do a proper anything
about Uncle Luke in this era? Everybody's so
sensitive. People want to cancel
folks. Could you ever do that
properly? Because you would have to. You can
only do it one way. Yeah, you can only do it one way
and that's why I have
a... I'm doing a biopic with
Will Packer and we
negotiating with a couple different companies
and the unique way of
how we put that together you know uh kind of took the sensitivity out of it because yeah you live in
a different era you know and and even with this right here you know freak nick is a large part
of my story you know and you know i put the freak in freak nick and. And so you had to do it in a unique way
because if we did this story a certain type of way,
in this life that we live in right now,
we'd probably all be in jail.
That's a fact.
Now, did Uncle Luke ruin Freaknik
and change the HBCU proper picnic
of what they were trying to do. They were
trying to be the D.C.
people that couldn't afford to go home.
We're trying to create this brilliant and
nice space and, you know, the Greeks
were stepping and there was barbecue and there
was food and then came
let me see you!
And then we came to fun, god damn it!
Fun came!
What the hell are you talking about?
I would say he enhanced it.
I wouldn't say he ruined it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't think Atlanta wasn't ready for that?
Obviously.
I'm not going to say it wasn't ready.
It just didn't know it was ready.
Because him coming in, wilding out and all of that,
made other people come there, made other acts come there.
And then that's where the music came from
and the South got something to say and all of that.
And, I mean, Uncle Luke. And, Luke look what made you want to go to freaknik like was it the buzzing at the time because it was small at first and then you took it to another level well i mean
you know you having a party in atlanta is your country falling apart feeling tired depressed
a little bit revolutionary consider this this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017,
was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.
I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere,
a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.
Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption
that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.
And she paid the ultimate price.
Listen to Crooks Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
It's called Freaknik.
I got to be the ambassador.
So, I mean, basically, you know,
this was at the time when I went,
it was the height of my career, our career,
the controversy, going to jail, doing all these different things, you know, and then I hear about this little party going on in Atlanta called Freak Night.
So then when I heard it, I thought it was a freak party.
You know, real talk.
I need to be there.
You know, I'm the king of freaking this i gotta go
show my face in this joint you feel me and then at the end of the day you know we went there and
did that plus some shot videos and all these different things and come to find out later on
down the line it was like no no no it wasn't no it wasn't that type of party yeah it was people
out there with little tps and their little candles and all that.
They were trying to have a little Greek thing.
And before you know it, I put the freak in the picnic.
So what was the difference between Freaknik and the classic in Florida?
The classic was wild, too.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you had different degrees of it all.
And I lived through them all.
You had Murderrtle Beach.
Yes, sir. Black Black Weekend.
Same situation. You had Myrtle Beach.
You had Daytona Beach.
From Daytona Beach, you had
Carabiner in
Canada. You had different
versions of these different parties
that was generated through
young people. Then you had Galveston.
The Beach Week. What it was? It was some sort of Beach Week out there that we you know that was generated through young people then you had galveston uh the beach week the bike
what it was it was it was some sort of beach weekend out there that we would go frequent
philly greek yeah philly yeah yeah i remember you know doing that doing that party watching
people run by my hotel naked so you had all those type of parties and and uh you know and
freaknik was just one that you had to go to during
that time did you ever get the money you were supposed to get because i'm thinking about it now
when uncle luke pulled up it wasn't like a regular rapper where he could just perform with a dj
with the girls on the side like you had a lot of people to pay did you actually get what you
was both because you you had an mc going to get? You had an MC Hammer
type staff. You had mad people. No, no, not an MC Hammer type staff. Hammer had a whole 727.
I remember going to Japan and I'm like, man, you got all these people in here, wardrobe and all
that stuff. How do you pay them? But yeah, I mean, my crew was a big old, I mean, it was mostly girls. It was girls and DJs and, you know, we ain't had too many securities.
It was new artists like Pitbull would be on the bus.
You know, Trick Daddy would be on the bus.
You know, guys that I was breaking along the way, you know,
using my popularity to spin them off to hopefully have them become hit artists.
All right, we got more with Uncle Luke and the producers of Freaknik.
When we come back, so don't move,
it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God,
Jess Hilarious.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Uncle Luke
and the producers of the Freaknik documentary
that's out today,
Jay Allen and Nicky Biles.
Charlamagne?
Did you hear Earthquake when he was up here, Luke,
and he said that he dropped a nuclear missile?
Why they call you Broken Arrow?
That's what happens when you drop a nuke in the country.
It's called a Broken Arrow.
When there's a nuke on your own friendly soil
and everything is an accident, it's called a Broken Arrow.
So you radioactive right now?
Well, no, man.
It's just, you know, I told them.
You understand?
I'm in Boxdale, Louisiana, Shreveport, Louisiana.
This is when Luke was at the height of his thing and had 150 bad chicks.
Absolutely.
I said, I'm going.
And they sent me out here to change the ordinance on the plane.
So they brung it on themselves.
He was in the military.
You can't miss y'all's show.
When I heard that story right here on y'all show,
I was like, oh, Lord, this man finna blame me
for a nuclear disaster.
That's my dog too quick.
I mean, hey, but that was funny.
Do you still feel like hip-hop forgot about Florida
when it came to all these Hip-Hop 50 celebrations?
No question about it.
I mean, we had to go, you know, me and Trick Daddy,
we had to actually go on social media and say,
hey, you forgot about us.
What the f*** is going on here?
We're a part of this.
We're a major part of this.
And then people start calling up and like, oh, we're sorry.
Oh, we want to invite you.
We want you to be a part of this.
That's crazy.
And everything like that.
So, I mean, that's been happening my entire career.
And that's why, you know, before I was mad.
But, like, right now, being able to tell all these stories in different forms.
Freak Nick, Coach Luke, this other show that we're partnering up with, LeBron,
that we're getting ready to do on you know, scripted
series. What is that? Is that going to be the Book of Luke?
Oh, that's going to be probably
the Dark Side of Luke.
Yeah, and give you
a real story of Miami
and you know, between that and
the movie that we're doing with Will
Packer and then the other
show
with me coaching that we're doing with Smack and Strahan and all of them.
So you'll see all these different pieces
of being able to tell these different stories,
which I'm happy right now.
So I pretty much created a damn film company
out of the whole thing
because they didn't tell the story.
And then I'll get to tell my own story.
But you're a hip-hop pioneer, Uncle Luke.
That's what pisses me off
when people have these conversations
about hip-hop pioneers and hip-hop moguls.
You're one of the original ones.
We don't get down south hip-hop without Uncle Luke.
I don't think they realize what he sacrificed
and what he went through.
Ain't no parental advisory stickers on albums.
Yeah, I don't think they understand that.
You fought the government for hip-hop.
Got arrested for it.
Had to pay lawyer fees.
And got locked up. Got locked up. Like, he fought for hip-hop. Got arrested for it. Had to pay lawyer fees. And got locked up.
Got locked up.
Like, he fought for hip-hop.
Come on, man.
And they left him out there to fight by himself.
Like, he was literally fighting.
Just like you say, man.
Nobody came to my defense.
There wasn't nobody in the industry.
Matter of fact, people in the industry
was talking shit about me.
I mean, they would go on Donnie Simpson's show,
other rappers, and be like,
oh, that's not hip-hop.
You know, it got to the point where when we did shows
with hip-hop artists that they would say,
oh, put them on last, and then they would all leave.
Because you know how you do a show,
everybody on the side seeing who rocked the stage and shit.
So we had to go through a lot, you know, people.
But then people start understanding,
and that's why, you know, I was happy that we put Savage
a part of this, because when that's why, you know, I was happy that we put Savage a part of this.
Because when he looked at, you know, this young kid is trying to understand, you know, just what went on.
You know, this part of history.
You know, and people like A$AP Rocky.
I would sit down in conversation with him.
You know, man, I would just embrace the history.
So you got some artists that go deep into it.
And then they be just wanting to vibe
and like know where this came from.
But then you got a lot of people
that really try to brush it up under the rug.
But, you know, this DACA,
this DACA be the beginning of something big, I think,
because this is the only description of the South,
you know, on this level.
You don't have nothing that ever been done on the South and I think a large part of it didn't want to
tell the story because then a lot of people had to give me too much credit
you feel me and so you know when you do that then it'd be like okay who the was
a part of this and not telling these stories why you think they tried to ban
what you was doing when literally all you was doing was making people dance
making people have sex but
you have all these artists who's killing people on records selling drugs on records i don't see
nobody trying to ban them why did they try to ban you i was the first you know i'm saying we was the
first to cuss on the records a lot of people don't understand miami is half naked people walking
around everywhere you know strip clubs naked so so when when when they came after us, it was because, you know, for a couple reasons.
One, the album covers, you know, they were exotic.
Then the back of the album cover, the titles were, you know, Face Down, Ass Up, Hey, What's
F***ing See and all that.
I do that because I had no money.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, the music industry was against what I was doing because I was taking sales away
from everybody else.
You know, and then when you take sales away,
then it's like, okay, we got to shut this shit down.
So then they sent Tip O'Gore, Al Gore's wife, after me,
you know, and put me on this list.
You know, they tell George Lucas,
because at the time my name was Luke Skywalker Records,
you got to sue this bitch.
So they was pulling me from all different angles. You know, I had to pay him a big ass settlement.
You had to settle with George Lucas?
Yeah, I had a big ass lawsuit with this.
That's why I don't look at no Star Wars right now.
Jesus.
For Luke records?
For Luke Skywalker.
Luke Skywalker records.
He sued me and I had to pay a goddamn.
What was the amount back then?
You can tell us now, right on now.
It was a half a million dollars.
You know, a lot of people
think it was one case
it was actually
three cases
it was one
the Roy Orbison case
that went to the
Supreme Court
I won that
if I don't win that
you don't
you know
there's no more satire
there's no more
Saturday Night Live
or none of that shit
you can't
you know
make a joke about somebody
then
it had the
oh so satire.
That was a satire case.
That was a satire.
That didn't just change music.
That changed TV.
And the internet.
And the internet.
And the internet.
Because right now they use my case for any internet claim where there's intellectual property.
It became an intellectual property satire case.
And so when you had that shit going on, you know, now I got,
I got to go get this ruling overturned
that the record is deemed obscene
by this federal judge.
And then I didn't say,
fuck him,
and we go down the street and perform
and then go to jail for it.
So I got three cases going on at one time.
Plus, you know,
plus all the other shit happening
around me trying to run a record company
and all that.
And that's why,
that's why, you know, know i got really really really deep into into the politics of it all you know and uh and seeing where it was coming from what you did is really to fight for hip-hop for the
next artist but the artist didn't support you at all the hip-hop artist basically said f**k you
but you still knew the bigger picture yeah i looked i looked at it
from a bigger picture standpoint because i know all right these stupid right now you know the
industry is is not supporting me you know i remember going to the grammys and and it was like
we want you to go to the grammys and everything and i go there and i sit down on the third row
and they fast are having this big speech about artists being attacked
and we're fighting.
We're supporting and all this and everything.
Our artists for free expression
and everything. Right now,
we want to honor a person who's out there
on the road doing it
every night. Madonna.
No!
This is f***ing hilarious.
I ain't never went back to the
Grammys
that was the last time
when you know
it was crazy man but again
that's why I got so deep
into politics
man because I know everything is political
I'd love to see that genre
of bass music come back there's a couple of artists
that's doing it a little bit,
and I saw that you was in the studio with Carisha.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's bringing it back.
She's bringing it back.
I mean, the song that we did together, I mean,
because I don't go in the studio for no f***ing body.
I mean, people call me all the time,
go and sample this s***.
Only two people could get me in there.
Missy, I went in there with her before COVID and then with Carisha, you know.
And, you know, I heard the track and I was like, okay, I can f*** with that.
You know what I'm saying?
And we went in there and knocked it out real easy.
I think it's going to be a big summer club
banger and everything.
I'm looking forward to people listening to it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
make sure you check out Freak Nick,
The Wildest Party, Never Told,
Uncle Lou, Now. They should build a
statue of Uncle Lou in every major hip-hop
city. They should. I'm not even joking.
New York, LA, Atlanta.
Take the f*** out.
Do I get to have my genitals hanging?
No, man.
Like that statue?
You know where the...
Yeah, like the Greeks.
The little Greek statue.
Jay Allen, Nicky Bob, Uncle Luke.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to pass the aux.
Go, go, go.
DJ, DJ, cause that's my DJ.
Say go, DJ, cause that's my DJ.
Yup.
Nyla, Nyla.
Yeah, DJ, come spin, now come spin. What up, Nyla? What's up, guys? spin, now come spin
What up, Nyla?
What's up, guys?
Hey, girl.
NYLA.
Oh, I thought you was being stink.
Oh, no, I'm not gonna be stink.
We about to have us a real conversation.
We are about to have some real conversations.
We can get into the music.
Let's start off with Like That with Future and Metro Boomin'.
Yeah, get up with me.
Sneak this in.
First person shooter. I hope they came with three switches. I crash out like, crap. This Melly Melniff, I had two. that with future Metro Woman.
It's just big me.
Woo! Crazy. Now, NYLA went to St. John'sucker, Big 3. It's just big me. Woo. Crazy.
Now, NYLA went to St. John's University because of J. Cole.
J. Cole is her personal favorite rapper.
We've had so many conversations on air and off air.
And I tell her all the time, stop playing with Kendrick Lamar.
He's the one.
He's the one in the Big 3.
Nobody has ever played with Kendrick Lamar.
And this is why I was like, man, I'm so annoyed that this happened
because I got to come up here and deal with your shenanigans.
But I feel like Kendrick is an innocent bystander
and it's deep between Drake and Kendrick.
I do.
I really do.
You mean Cole is innocent bystander.
Yeah, I feel like Cole is an innocent bystander.
He picked a side.
You want to be a first-person shooter, huh?
But to be fair, even with.
You want to be a first-person shooter? To be fair honest, to be fair, you know what? You want to be
a first-person shooter?
But to be fair,
when first-person shooter dropped
and I came up here,
I'm like, yo,
why is Kendrick
not on this record?
He's a part of the Big 3.
It makes no sense
for them to do a tour
without him.
I said that.
Now, but he's not
an innocent bystander
because he threw a shot.
Now, it was a competitive shot,
but he said whatever
the Big 3 line was,
he's Muhammad Ali.
I don't think that was a shot.
I don't think that was a shot. I don't think that was a shot either.
If you say out of the big three, I'm Muhammad Ali, you're saying you're the greatest.
Now you got to prove it.
But now J. Cole been spitting.
J. Cole been bodying everybody on their own record.
Cole has been spitting.
I'm ready for this.
I'm ready for this.
I don't know if I'm ready.
And I'm only saying I'm not ready because I've just never seen Cole in war mode.
You know, like we think, but what's wrong with saying I'm the greatest? I've just never seen Cole in war mode. You know, like, we've seen...
But what's wrong with saying I'm the greatest?
Like, yo, you can say that.
You definitely can say that.
He can't pause.
When you say you're the big three, but I'm the Muhammad Ali of that,
oh, word, okay, I want to see.
But that's not really a diss.
I think we're looking at a diss with J. Cole.
It's not a diss, though, but I want to see.
It's competitive.
That's not a diss.
It's competitive.
What it really is, it's between, I feel like it's between Future and Drake,
and it's between Kendrick and Drake, and I feel like it's everybody against Drake.
You know what's getting lost?
No.
Well, you know what's getting lost in all of this?
What's getting lost in all of this is Future is one of those ones.
We have to start putting Future and Metro up there with some of the greatest
rap producer combinations of all time.
I'm talking Dre and Snoop, Outkast and Organized Noise, Premier and Guru and metro up there with some of the greatest rap producer combinations of all time i'm talking dre and snoop outcast and organized noise premiere and guru they up there
and you want to talk big three it's kendrick future and fill in the blank okay it's kendrick
future and fill in the blank you're in the right place in the hate okay
mr blank privilege couldn't wait for something like this to happen. That's right.
I got to be honest.
I think this is fun.
Like, this is fun.
I'm happy to see it.
I'm excited to see what the guys do with the pin.
I do feel like they—
J. Cole is in a different bag, guys.
EJ—
Man, shut up, baby boy.
He is.
Kendrick said he's tired of healing.
I'm going to traumatize y'all back.
The timer has started, though.
Like, I'm ready for this.
That's right.
I'm ready to see it.
And I don't even want to wait
to Dreamville Fest,
like, for a response.
I feel like it needs to be...
That's right.
Cole and Drake,
they can't take the high road.
Kendrick been asking for smoke
for years since Control.
Well, Cole can take the high road,
honestly.
No, Cole's the one
that really need to jump out
because you said you was Muhammad Ali
and you got an album coming out.
No, what?
Yes, you the one
that really need to say something.
No, Drake's the one that really needs to come
out because Future and Metro got the beef with
Drake. They don't follow Drake. They didn't unfollow
Cole. They unfollowed
Drake.
Who unfollowed Drake?
Metro
unfollowed Drake. They tweeted out
we don't trust you and then the album dropped
we don't trust you. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
The album is called We Don't Trust You. Yes. And they unfollowed Trust You. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The album is called We Don't Trust You.
Yes.
And they unfollowed him.
Whoa, so you know
what that means.
Crazy war.
We Don't Trust You.
We gotta get into two others.
We gotta get into two others, guys.
The two others.
All right.
I wanted to do
the Big Sean freestyle.
I know Big Sean dropped
the new record today
called Precision,
but I feel like...
Not right now, Sean.
Wait a minute.
Stop!
Not right now, Sean. Sean, this. Stop! Not right now, Sean.
Sean, this is what always happens to you, Sean.
You always get lost in the sauce with the Big 3.
Let me play the freestyle.
This is Big Sean's freestyle he dropped to promote the new record.
I think where I lack most as an artist is consistency.
I just haven't had the energy to compete with enemies or y'all so-called Bigger 3.
But every verse I lay
Fans love to say
Man, it's a game to sleep
But 200 million records up
Though it isn't a dream
Even if you was my son
You couldn't belittle me
My life got more layers
Than a secret identity
And I'm all money in
Like nipping J. Stone
Whipping the bricks
You know what, though?
There was a year
There was a couple of years
Sean was lyrically better
Than a lot of them
And I was saying that Sean was really, was lyrically better than than a lot of them and i
was i was saying that sean was really really lyrically in his bag he still is he still is
but there's a disconnect what do you think it is probably what he just said lack of consistency
yeah do you think out of like i know the big three is cole i mean is sean four no. What you mean? Why you yelling? I don't know. Who's the big three again? The big three is Kendrick, Future.
Oh, oh.
Kendrick, Future.
Oh.
And then it's Drake and Cole.
That's the four.
No, no, no, no, no.
No.
No, it's Future in there.
The big three is Kendrick, Future, fill in the blank.
But I know the other two is Drake and Cole.
Lyrically, are you really putting Future with Cole, Kendrick?
I'm just talking about musically.
Not live music.
Like, are we doing that?
I'm just saying musically.
We got to get into the other two.
All right, you got to keep Cole in the top three.
Sean is up there, but he's not one of the big four.
Also, I got to say, I am tired of talking about the big three.
I'm tired of still talking about people from the blog era,
and I'm just ready for the next regime.
Who better?
They still setting the bar.
I thought the big three was Nicki, Wayne, and Drake.
For real. I mean, everybody say we big three, and that's what I thought the big three was Nicki, Wayne, and Drake. For real.
I mean,
everybody say we big three
and that's what I thought
that was.
I ain't never noticed.
I think they are
the big three
as a label.
Okay.
Wayne is a legend.
He got statues.
Yeah,
I never heard of big three.
He's on a monument.
This is true.
I just feel like
if Pop Smoke was still here
and if XXX was still here,
it would be different conversations.
They wouldn't still
be shooting across
they would probably
be shooting right now
could you stop
no
I don't think so
I definitely think
Pop Smoke and XXX
and Tasha Young
would definitely have a place
but they wouldn't be
competing for that
no
not at all
nah
but they would be
the conversation
we wouldn't still be
having the same conversation
we would not be
having a conversation
about a beef
that's 10 years old,
is what I'm getting at.
It happens.
This is entertaining.
But lastly, I'm going to end it on a high note.
Sir, who's one of my favorite R&B artists, dropped today.
His new project is called Heavy.
And the record that I have is Nothing Even Matters.
You keep giving me direction, baby.
This is my confession, no. Nothing Even Matters.
Salute this, sir.
Yeah, definitely.
We like that.
All I know is it's a damn shame the brother Kendrick gave us one of the most important hip-hop albums of all time.
Gave us the soundtrack, the system, the healing of a generation, Mr. Morale and the Big Steps.
And y'all thought y'all could play with him.
Now you got to deal with this problem.
All Spring, All Summer. Yeah, nobody thought you could play with him.
But I'm tired of you taking Cole out of the Big 3.
Just because you want to include him.
How do you take Cole out of the Big 3?
You keep saying in blank.
But don't do that to Cole. He's definitely in the big three just because you want to say and blank but don't do that to call
well honestly honestly if i had a big three it would be kendrick future and cole no okay thank
you no no no we got it out of him please it would be it would be kendrick future and cole that's a
good three and then drake would be you would put future in there over drake like are you dumb yes
like what no him you don't think he would do that? Absolutely, yes. It's the complexion? It's the complexion.
It has to do with the music that I write.
Drake is half white.
That's your ride, too?
Drake Cole is half white, too.
That don't tell.
Nah, your logic don't fly.
Oh, my God.

establishing her as one of the greatest shot blockers in women's basketball history.
And people always say she look like my boyfriend.
She actually said that.
I saw her.
I saw when you posted a picture of you and Chris.
Yes.
And she left a comment.
I forgot what the comment was.
She was like, now we got all linked up.

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it. And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.
Get the kids in your life excited about history
by tuning in to Historical Records.
