And of course, we got tons of security to make sure everything is safe. But

I just want to say salute to everybody. I had such an amazing time. And after the show today, I'm going to sleep. Just want to put that out there. How was your weekend? The weekend was great, man. Did nothing. Absolutely, positively nothing, which is my favorite thing to do. Lay around the house with the wife and kids. That's what I did all weekend long. I look forward to that.

And salute to London, man. Drop a bomb for London. London sold out. You got to tell people who London is. I'm about to. London is my daughter that Charlemagne would not purchase a bracelet from her. I sure wouldn't. Right?

But she sold out. Like, people came and they was like, I'm buying one for me and one for Uncle, for Stale Snacky who didn't buy one. So she was. Does she have a car attached to it yet? No, she's an entrepreneur. No, she needs a car. She doesn't need no car.

She absolutely needs a car. She made all these bracelets and sold out. She was so excited. I think she made, at the end of the day, she made like $900. But she was happy. After she wanted sushi, she was like, Dad, I'll pay. I'll pay. I'm like, hey, baller.

A little 10-year-old baller. But salute to her and shout out to everybody that purchased a bracelet from her. All right. Now, Fab Five Freddy will be joining us this morning. Man, the icon living Fab Five Freddy. There is a new podcast, the 50 Years of Hip Hop podcast series that's hosted by Fab Five Freddy. But even bigger than that, man,

Fab Five Freddy is a hip hop journalist. We all stand on his shoulders. I don't care if you're a radio personality, a journalist, a VJ. If you've done anything in that space, Fab Five Freddy absolutely, positively laid the foundation for that. So we'll be talking to Fab Five Freddy later this morning.

All right. And let's get the show cracking. Front page news. Heaven Figueroa will be joining us. We got a lot to discuss. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to some front page news. All right. I just want to say say this is pretty dope. Jalen Brown, he becomes the first active NBA player to participate in a Big 3 game.

So, salute to Jalen Brown, of course, for the Boston Celtics. And he jumped into Ice Cube's Big 3 game league. I've seen everybody talking about that over the weekend. Yeah, drop on the clues, Jalen Brown. I mean, you know, Big 3 is already legitimized. But that definitely brings even more legitimacy to what the Big 3 is doing. That's right. Now, let's talk about what happened in Jacksonville.

Very sad case. Yeah, I hate starting off Mondays with sad news, but we have to report what's on the front page news. And we are dealing with yet another racially motivated shooting, this time in Jacksonville, Florida. Let's go to NBC for the report. In Jacksonville tonight, a community grieves over lives tragically lost. This is tough. This is home. Angela Carr, Gerald Deshawn Gallion, and Anolt Joseph Laguerre, known as AJ, shot and killed Saturday after a gunman opened fire at a Dollar General store.

Pretty sad what happened. Really sad. The FBI now investigating this as a racially driven hate crime. He was a failure as an individual because he hates a group of people and decided he wanted to kill them. The Jacksonville sheriff identified the gunman as 21-year-old Ryan Christopher Palmetto, who penned writings detailing what he thought about the black race and what he planned to do. Today, Florida's governor calling the violence unacceptable. Targeting people due to their race has no place in the state of Florida.

So sad. Yeah, really sad. And, you know, we have to stop pretending like this rhetoric. You know, when the governor went to the press conference, you know folks that were saying you know this is not about uh politics but it absolutely you know a lot of this rhetoric is spewed you know through a lot of these political discussions and speaking of white supremacy vivek ramasamy was also under fire uh this weekend for comparing uh white supremacists to finding a unicorn he basically said if i if i find a white supremacist it's the same as finding a unicorn.

Let's take a listen to that, and then we're going to talk about it all on the other side. I'm sure the boogeyman white supremacist exists somewhere in America. I've just never met him. Never seen one. Never met one in my life, right? Maybe I'll meet a unicorn sooner. And maybe those exist, too. I mean, what is there to say that we haven't said before?

Like, what conversation are we going to say that we haven't said before like what conversation are we gonna have that we haven't had before you know even with somebody like you know vivek it's like why am i gonna go back and forth debating with you know somebody about whether or not white supremacy exists when we have another example of course it exists right you know what i mean we just have we're talking about another example right now. But like once again, what are we going to say that we haven't said before? Yeah. He also said that black representatives, Ayanna Pressley, was a part of the modern KKK because she said we don't need any more black faces that don't want to be a black voice. So, again, Charlamagne, to your point, you know, we've talked about this over and over. We understand this rhetoric fuels this. It was clearly in his manifesto and just uh as a fyi

these guns were purchased legally uh one was an ar-15 style rifle he had no background but he was committed for involuntary uh psychiatric evaluation in 2017 uh so uh just as fyi also the florida law known as the baker act it did not show up in his background check because the because he was not actually committed for treatment so guys what do you think should it be in the background check even if you've been uh for involuntary evaluation and not just committed what do you think about that absolutely i think when there's any case like that you know a lot of these cases if somebody does have a mental problem or there are situations sometimes it doesn't show up on your background report and in this situation i mean obviously the the gentleman has problems and will had problems and

that should have been flagged immediately there's no way somebody like that should have been able to purchase two firearms and use those two firearms for exactly what he wanted to use it for that's insane insane and the crazy part is florida is a place where an act of white supremacy you know happened but you can't even discuss with kids in classrooms how these situations come to be historically right you know that's right you can't even talk about how we got here that's right that's right all right which is critically important and i as a you know i was really disappointed in uh one of the local representatives uh you know she when uh governor santos was there talking you know

the crowd was heckling him charlemagne just for that reason you know for what he's doing you know she when uh governor santas was there talking you know the crowd was heckling him charlemagne just for that reason you know for what he's doing you know to history and uh he was cut off you know and said you know let's let's not do this at this time and i think he should have got all the smoke you know while he was there you know face to face you know to really deal with to make that connection like you just made uh charlemagne that all of this you know plays plays a role uh in into uh you know what it is that those folks are dealing with so rest in peace to those victims and to the entire community uh that is suffering uh this tragic loss yeah and i hate using uh woke

terms like anti anything but yeah ron desantis has absolutely fueled a lot of anti-blackness in florida so yeah he deserves a lot of that smoke. All right. Well, that is front page news. Teslin, we'll see you in a couple of minutes. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. I know it's Monday. I'm tired.

Good morning. It's Zach from Rockford.

Hey, Zach. Get it off your chest, brother. Okay, so two things real quick. It's really silly, but it always bothers me with the new movie that just came out. The Ninja Turtles were born and raised in New York and none of them got a New York accent. They don't speak Spanish. They don't speak Jamaican. Shut up. They just speak like they're from, like, Illinois.

That is very true. No, he's absolutely right. Like, you're absolutely correct. And that is a very astute observation. Yo, it's not. Not everybody in New York is Caribbean or Spanish. Dude, it is nuts. And the second thing, I released a single this Saturday.

It's called On The Daily. My name is Zach Ziplock. It'll be dope if y'all could check it out I will say The most New York thing About the Ninja Turtles is Their disguises When they're out and about

Are just overcoats And the hats You know what I'm saying The detective hats Yep Only in New York Could you get away with that Cause they look so suspicious

But don't nobody give a damn Cause everybody Minding their business They can only get that off In New York Hello who's this? Hello? Hello?

You can hear me? I can hear you. Oh, yeah, it's Tom. I want to talk about that situation in Florida. It's just embarrassing. Like, why did that guy did it to get Ron DeSantis' attention, but there's one good thing that came out of it. What is that?

That he's dead? He did himself a favor because if the police i don't know like with some of these reactions with mass shootings the cops are starting to get it right like they're not thinking about oh let's shoot him in the foot what if that was your mother or somebody else's sister or son they're not going to go preach lewis farrakhan quotes they're just going to eliminate the problem. You're right. But I would, I would like to take it a step further and say that I wish these mass

shooters, you know, if they're going to commit suicide anyway, just do it first. You know what I mean? I would rather them, I would rather them do that to themselves before they go into a building or go into a place and take a bunch of,

you know, innocent lives. If you don't want to be here no more, don't take that out on nobody else. Don't project that pain and that hurt on nobody else. Handle your business. I agree. I would rather, you know, innocent lives. If you don't want to be here no more, don't take that out on nobody else. Don't project that pain and that hurt on nobody else. Handle your business. I agree. I would rather him go get help

so none of this happens. But in the worst case scenarios, I'd rather them do themselves before they do other people. Absolutely. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name's Andrea. Hey, Andrea.

Get it off your chest. Yes, I'm calling because my husband has a show called These Cocktails on Instagram and we're trying to get it off the ground and we've been asking for different people to like share his stuff and things of that nature

but we're not getting any feedback so I want to know like what's the next steps like what should we do? Next steps to what? Shout it out. Maybe people are going to the business. Just to keep growing his show. Because right now he's made over probably, like, we're almost at 6,000 followers.

And it's been less than a year. So we're, like, moving really fast. So I'm just trying to see what's the next thing we should do. You got to keep growing it. And then when you get it to a certain point, you know what I mean? I wouldn't even look for no television network. I would start like my own app or something, you know? Like I saw Kendra G just recently did that with her single lady show.

Kendra G started her single lady show on Instagram and Facebook. And it's grown to the point now where she just launched her own, you know, single ladies app. But she has that kind of cachet. She's built up that kind of fan base for that show. So you just got to do the same. And it's going to take time. You know, you said a year, but, you know, it might take three years. It might take four years, you know, but you just got to have the patience. And if you really love what it is that you're doing, you know, keep at it.

Shout it out again so people hear it. Okay, it's for Deez these cocktails on Instagram and all around. We're on Facebook and everything. One of my gay homies, he says always, you know what they say about cocktails? Pour me one or tell me one. Y'all kinky this morning. Goodbye, mama. Yeah, that sounds good.

Thank you. And that homie is the godfather, Elvis Duran. Shout out to Elvis. I'm going to close my eyes for Elvis Duran, damn it. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report.

The OG Steve Harvey. Well, there's a lot of rumors about him over the weekend, and he addresses them. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's D-E-J- dj nv charlamagne the god yeah we are the breakfast club it's a monday merry monday all right let's get to the rumors let's

talk steve harvey rumor has it rumor rumor has it call out a name or you gossiping or you chatting this is the rumor report i mean i guess we're the breakfast club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, Steve Harvey was in the news the last couple of days. His first was because of a tweet that everybody thought that he put out. Now, it was under his Twitter handle, Steve Harvey. I am Steve Harvey. And he put, a comedian you don't find funny at all.

Well, a lot of people didn't like that tweet. It wasn't showing that comedians are together. And it's kind of just pointing fingers at maybe somebody that had a bad show or somebody that people didn't like. Well, Steve Harvey responded to the tweet. I got to take some time to address this here. I came down here to get away, get in some nature, do some fishing. Somebody works for me on my Twitter, put a statement out that was totally negative. I got to take responsibility for it because they work for me.

But the engagement was talking about name a comedian you don't think is funny. Why would I do something like that? That don't even make no damn sense. My whole brand is to be motivational. And I'm going to turn around and say something like that. You don't know where these young people at in their career, man. They could be coming up with anything. I'm all about positivity.

I would have never done nothing like that damn so pissed off right now man come on I was trying to get some engagement okay you try and get some employment to my bad y'all now I got to come on here and do something doing a damn selfie so here it is I'm sorry drop on a cool bonzo on keys I to be on here doing a damn selfie. Damn selfie. We knew that wasn't Steve. Yeah, but we said that immediately. We said that don't sound like Steve.

Yeah, we knew there had to be somebody working in social media. But he's right. He got to take accountability because that person does work for him. I'm just shocked that the people don't have to at least run the tweets by him before they post. Yeah, you know, sometimes you don't even like this weekend for the car show. Like, I was all over the place. So, I had a team of people just reposting people's activity so i don't know what they were posting hopefully you say they were posting car show stuff but you know you had a team of people

working because i was out at the car show and why does steve harvey need engagement steve harvey don't need no damn engagement they must not know how much bread and paper steve harvey got how many shows he has and how many things he's doing. Steve Harvey on the radio right now with us on another station somewhere. Yeah, you don't need no engagement. Steve Harvey on Family Feud every day. Engagement? Man, Steve caked up. Steve got eggs in Walmart. Facts. Facts.

Alright, now also Steve Harvey clears up the rumors that, I guess there was a rumor that his wife was cheating on him. I didn't hear these rumors. I didn't hear this one either. I didn't really hear about it until Steve Harvey addressed it. Before I get started, just let me say, I'm fine. Marjorie Fann.

I don't know what y'all doing. Find something else to do. Because we fine. Lord have mercy. Find something else to do Cause we fine Y'all ain't gonna miss it Man I sure wish I could cuss though You know what Sometimes you just want You want to respond

But I ain't got no time for You and y'all so man Y'all been good to me I'm still shining Man take all social media apps off Unc's phone, man. Okay? Stop showing Unc, Steve Harvey, everything that's said about him online. I blame the people around him.

Because this is a prime example of how when a dog barks at the moon, it's nothing. But when the moon barks back at the dog, it's news. Because I knew absolutely nothing about these rumors Steve Harvey was talking about. When I said I didn't hear anything about it, I didn't hear not a peep. But when Steve said it, it made me wonder what the hell he's talking about. That's right. And now I know. But, you know, be aware of everything but acknowledge nothing

We are The Breakfast Club on this

Monday. Let's get back into some front page news. What up, Tiz? What up, DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club on this monday let's get back into some front page news what up what up dj envy charlemagne the god peace to the hood whisperer let's talk cornell west it seems like he was blasting bernie sanders huh yeah uh it's so interesting because cnn actually asked senator bernie sanders to respond to the question we asked uh here on the breakfast club about senator sanders supporting president biden let's take a listen he recently criticized you for We asked here on The Breakfast Club about Senator Sanders supporting President Biden. Let's take a listen. He recently criticized you for endorsing President Biden's reelection.

Listen to what he said. I love the brother. And, you know, even in love, people have deep disagreements about these things. But I think, again, he's fearful of the neo-fascism of Trump. What's your reaction to that? Where I disagree with my good friend, Cornel West, is I think in these really very difficult times where there is a real question whether democracy is going to remain

in the United States of America. You know, Donald Trump is not somebody who believes in democracy. Whether women are going to be able to continue to control their own bodies, whether we have social justice in America, we end bigotry. Around that, I think we have got to bring the entire progressive community to defeat Trump or whoever the Republican nominee will be.

FYI, Cornell didn't blast Bernie Envy. Jesus Christ. Envy put sauce on it. They put no sauce on it what they wrote well that's silly whoever wrote that is a is a clickbait uh connoisseur but that is a civil discourse between two elders they both said they love each other correct and it was nothing personal it was just a a difference in uh opinions and ideology that's all well two things can be true at the same time. Do you think, Charlo, do you think, you know,

that Senator Sanders is afraid of Trump and not pushing the progressive agenda? Well, I think we're all afraid of, you know, democracy, you know, not being around anymore. Like, you know,

I don't think it's necessarily being, you know, yeah, he probably is afraid of Trump, but he's afraid of what Donald Trump will do if Donald Trump gets back into the White House. So, yeah, I don't think there's anything being yo yeah he probably is afraid of trump but he's afraid of what donald trump will do if donald trump gets back into the white house so yeah i don't think there's anything wrong with that i think like this is one of those times right coming up where we not even coming up now we really should be afraid about what's going on in our democracy but uh democrats have cried wolf so many times because that's the only thing they have whenever elections come around is to push fear to get us to vote out of fear.

But this is one of those times where we all should be really afraid of what could happen to our democracy. But I don't feel this is urgency at all. Yeah, I mean, I'm afraid I'm especially when somebody gets locked up in a day after he gets locked up. He raises over seven million dollars for his campaign. That's right. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. is over $7 million for his campaign. That's right. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, he raised $7.1 million after the Georgia arrest, $4.1 million on Friday alone,

which was the single highest 24-hour period of his campaign to date. And just to add a little bit of context to Dr. West, when he answered that question, we were talking about, for those who want to go back and watch it, we were actually talking about Senator Bernie Sanders endorsing without leverage. And so remember, we were kind of wrapping that conversation around. Should should Senator Sanders have asked for more leverage before he came out for President Biden immediately because he was the first one that endorsed him? So that's just a little bit of context of that to that conversation as well.

And also to man, that money that Trump raised, that won't be enough and you got to run a campaign and you got to pay lawyer fees and when you look at it in the bigger scheme of things i think they were selling those shirts you know 47 a pop you know let's just say one person bought a shirt for 47 that's still only like 150 000 people so i was talking i was thinking about this this weekend right all the support that it looks like trump has i don't know if he necessarily got it because remember we were thinking that people were going to be tearing the streets up you know if he started getting arrested and stuff he's got 91 criminal charges been indicted four times i ain't seen nobody bring no smoke yet not that we want them to right but you know i don't i don't think that the energy is there like we like we think it is yeah yeah it it makes it uh and you're right you know, I don't I don't think that the energy is there like we like we think it is. Yeah. Yeah. It makes it. And you're right.

You know, when people are online and you got a good 5000 people that are penetrating online over and over and over and over. No, we talked about this last week. It seems bigger than what it is in the grand scope of things. And I always point to that as well. Oh, man, they're really making comments. Just use Breakfast Club for an example. Eight million listeners that listen on the radio. Ten to 20 million that listen on the podcast. It's not even including, you know, YouTube and Facebook and all those things. So when you see 10,000 people or 5,000, even 50,000, it seems like a big number. But the reality of it is when you talk about millions and millions of voters, it's not representative of what people are actually thinking.

But it appears that way, because as we talked about, conservatives or trumpers or whatever you want to call them they organize really well and making it appear bigger than what it is so are there black vendors out there that are selling shirts that's what i want to know are we getting some money off of this as well or what and then i was looking at uh abc news yesterday and it said that polling shows half of americans want donald trump to suspend his campaign you know what i mean so i don't know if this this this like like you said the support that we see online this noise we see online i don't know if it's reflected in the real world man but you know what with you know maybe it's not on in the streets but i mean it seems like they donating in their pocket you know i

mean 7.1 million dollars in two days is a lot of money. It is, but it's like... And this is at four point. This was the highest. You said the highest one day total? It is, but it's 150,000 people if you do the math. It's roughly around 150,000 people if one person bought a shirt

for $47. Well, and just for clarity, single highest 24-hour period for his campaign. So not in history, but just for his campaign. And again, they said three out of four dollars that is raised will be spent on legal

fees. And don't forget all of those other defendants, they don't have attorneys as well. So folks are saying, are you going to help them out? You're going to slide them a couple of dollars, put it on their books, help them with the attorneys, something. So a lot of this money. Three out of four dollars? That's what experts are saying. Jesus Christ. We don't know that, but that's pretty much it.

There's a lot of legal fees involved with 90 plus charges yeah and it was i'm telling you go read that article about how you know trump's indictments aren't giving him the bounce and support that he thinks he that he claims you know because polling shows half of americans want him to suspend his campaign but i think the biggest question is it's probably you know what we're looking like it's probably going to go between trump and biden uh can trump beat biden or can biden be trump is the question i think in a general election with everything that donald trump has over his head i think joe biden beats donald trump i think a half dead joe biden oh boy beats donald trump um in this current in this current climate him having 91 criminal okay with three fourths of that him having 91 criminal. Okay, well, three-fourths of dead.

Him having 91 criminal charges and four indictments. All right. Well, thank you, Tez. Can I give a quick shout-out? Of course. I want to give a quick shout-out. I got a chance to hang out with SWV, one of the best girl groups in our history. Okay.

So shout-out to Taj from SWV. She was so sweet. She made sure I grabbed me and pulled me up on stage and it really was just like a dream come true. I'm sure you guys love Week and all of the classics. I can see you singing it now, Charlemagne. So this was just a great

great opportunity. Really, really sweet ladies and I appreciate them looking out. Yeah, scoot the SWB. What up, Willie? And make sure you subscribe to Tesla Figaro's podcast, The Straight Shot, No Chase, the podcast on the Black Effect

that is front page news. Now, when we come back, Fab Five Freddy will be joining us. That's right. He's here to discuss

50 years of hip hop podcasts and so much more. So we're going to kick it with Fab Five Freddy when we come back. So don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest in the building a legend when it comes to this hip-hop thing ladies and gentlemen fab five freddy welcome brother hey man pleasure to be here man what's happening pleasure to have you brother oh man thanks so much and you know we just celebrated 50 years of hip-hop incredible did you ever think that hip-hop would take it this far to quote the late I know I love that quote not not at all not at all I mean I mean I was clearly thinking of like you know the kinds of moves I made having some control over the narrative you know, in terms of the moves I made, having some control over the narrative, you know, being aware that people that look like us in previous generations of our culture

didn't have that ability to host the shows, you know, the footprint that you guys have and the things that others like us in media and do these things. So that was like a super significant thing that I thought about from beginning but to see it come to this point globally the most listened to form of music around the world still is just uh astonishing let's let's go back for people that don't know

who fab five freddy is um so let's let's start from the beginning how you got into this thing called hip-hop and and what you created because you started off as a graffiti artist right and uh i'm sure you were tagging trains back in the day because that was the thing to do the trains that was the thing to do the trains the walls the buses right anywhere it was an audacious thing to do when when i think back so many new york teenagers back then in the 70s just felt like it was okay to put your name anywhere you felt it needed to be. And then the competition of that developed into a real, you know, refined and defined form of expression. Ways of using them spray cans that nobody ever envisioned anywhere. Like, you know, spray cans is just, you know, to paint an old piece or whatever around the house. Now we've created, you know, a way to make murals that kind of tell stories about who we are and where we are and

what we want to be and do and all those things it's like a fantasy and then that began a journey that I kind of helped lead taking graffiti art into galleries turning it into something called street art which is also like a global thing you know probably heard of my homie rest peace, Jean-Michel Basquiat. Yeah, absolutely. Young brother out of Brooklyn. And we met on that downtown scene, had similar aspirations, figure out a way to be artists. Like Malcolm X said, by any means necessary.

Was Basquiat in the graffiti too? Yeah, he used to, Jean was tagging, but he was putting up these like poetic phrases, quotes that were not in any way like typical graffiti but it was a part of graffiti and nobody knew he was a young brother doing it initially he started out doing something called same-o which was short for same-o you know what i mean and then that developed and then we met he was on the scene he turned out to be a brother like he was doing stuff around soho in the village area people didn't know he was a brother. And we met at a party right as I'm kind of stepping on that downtown art scene.

And we both had similar aspirations to try to figure this out. So we kind of linked up and were in the same circuit. Blondie was somebody that we met pretty much at the same time. I'm in their ear about this new culture and then they kind of took us under their wings so to speak and brought out work some of the first people to buy paintings for myself and Jean-Michel and then made you know took some inspiration from them stories I told him and made a record called rapture although we got to stay here for

a minute rapture was the first video on MTV that was one of the MTV's first videos which I'm featured in along with Jean-Michel. I tried to get Flash, who was supposed to have come, to be the DJ. I had met, because you know, I was working on the first hip-hop movie, Wildstyle, in that same timeframe, early 80s. I said, Flash, come down and be in this video. You know, to think that there was no MTV at that time, so we did, music video was not a thing. But still, I'm like, they had this idea to create a music video all the people we hung out with were in the video flash never showed up so I said John stand at the turntables and I tried to tell him John just stood there with a grin on his

face so in the rapture my boss yeah yeah John show boss guess so as Debbie starts to rap and the first line is Fab Five, Freddie told me everybody's fly. She's saying it to John, and then the song goes on. So that turned out to be one of MTV's first videos when the channel launched. And close to 10 years later, they were kind of pressured into trying to do a show about rap music, and I got the call. Yo MTV Raps.

Yo MTV Raps. What MTV was trying to do, it's interesting that you guys are now, you know, have this big position doing radio. Because of guys like you. Absolutely. Because of guys like you laying that foundation. Yep. Well, you know, the thing was, radio was pretty segregated.

And in the American charts, I mean, England was different. That's why I referenced America. Pop pretty much meant white essentially so no matter what kind of record you made if you could you know make a record that was pop in all the descriptive ways the people doing it were black they would most often off end up on the r&b or the soul chart or the dance chart and so mtv was set up to try to mirror that, a visual form of what American radio stations were. And so when Black acts got big, they were like, why am I not getting any love on there?

And so with the exception of a little Lionel Richie, a little Prince, there was very little Black music to be seen. And then I think it was Michael Jackson's label, Columbia's, CBS, if I'm not mistaken, Epic, whichever one of those, really pressured them. And they said, listen, we're going to pull all our other acts, which included Bruce Springsteen, off of MTV if you don't play Michael Jackson. I think that specifically was Billie Jean. And then they played it, the numbers went through the roof, and then came Thriller and everything like that.

So that, really, they had to realize that it's time to change up that attitude. And then there were two young white guys at MTV, Peter Daugherty and then Ted Demme. Rest in peace. Peter I've known on the downtown scene, he knew moves I was making with Blondie and hip-hop's first film

wild style and so he um was in their ear like records were selling like crazy run dmc ll some of those first early hip-hop records were going crazy no marketing no promo and so they said okay we're gonna try try this out and they tried it and you wasn't you wasn't upset with leaving or you wanted to leave or was it well when it, about six or seven years in, which was an incredible run, it was kind of sad that it came to an end. But I realized, like, you know, those acts that debuted on your MTV raps were so pivotal. They were so defining of the culture. Like, the first time people saw, you know, Tupac, N.W.A., you know, Luke and them, I would go to these areas where they were.

You invented that. Everybody that's doing these shows now, where they go to where people are, that's absolutely Fab Five Freddy. Fab Five Freddy invented the on-location conversation. And I know you say you didn't see hip-hop going this far, but as far as hip-hop becoming mainstream, you played a big role in that. Like, when I think of the movie Wildstyle, like, what did that movie mean to you and hip-hop at that at that time yeah the idea that i had had for wild style was to show a way to show the connection between all these elements that are part of hip-hop now that didn't exist before so the idea was to make a film that showed the connection between this rapping this djinging, the breakdancing, and the visual form of expression graffiti. And I hooked up with

this cat, Charlie Ahern, who was an underground filmmaker on the downtown scene in New York. He had made a super low-budget movie about Kung Fu that had caught my eye. When I linked with him, I basically pitched this idea for the movie and he said essentially let's get busy so then we started researching um going to parties in the Bronx going to the T-Connection the Ecstasy Garage meeting Busy B, Cold Crush, Fantastic, Funky 4 Plus 1 More including Shy Rock and that was how to jump back to the Blondie thing when they got the opportunity to host Saturday Night Live they also got to pick who the support act was

and they wanted to bring somebody hip hop on so we talked about Flash and the Furious Five of course they were big but then I said you know the Funky Four

similar to Blondie has a female like out front and I thought it was a nice counterbalance alright we got more with Fab Five Freddie when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody

it's dj envy charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking with fab five freddie charlemagne i keep hearing you talk about you wanted to make sure hip-hop was presented in the right way right right so i i wonder like what are your thoughts on the genre of hip hop now? Well, you know, hip hop is continually amazed me with the different turns and the evolutions that have happened within it. That's been the most fascinating thing for me. Some of the things that I've hoped for have come to light. Like I remember the very early days when it was all pretty much throw your hands in the air, waving like you just don't care. Everybody say, oh, it was pretty much a party, uplifting kind of vibe.

And that was cool. But then I said, man, if somebody can figure out a way to say something that was socially relevant, I knew that would elevate us. And that was the message. Broken glass everywhere. Don't push me because I'm close to the edge. Really articulated how a lot of people were living in New York and other hoods. And everybody got the memo that we can now throw our hands in the air Really articulated how a lot of people were living in New York and other hoods.

And everybody got the memo that we can now throw our hands in the air and have a party. But we can talk about our realities in these streets. And that was exciting. So there have been things that have happened along the way that I've been really enthusiastic about. Obviously, when the conscious movement came in, me working with KRS-One in the beginning and Chuck D and everything that opened up a whole another chamber that was incredible didn't see it coming but it was definitely needed and I think hip-hop is going to fit it constantly figures out a way it evolves it's like a it's like a living organism and different things affected come in it may go off the track a little bit with certain things and then it'll come back with something that totally blows us away like I think the african even though it's not specifically

hip-hop it's very inspired by the things that we've done so the so the afro beats and the ama piano which is a sound coming out of south africa a young kind of dance type sound which is unique is incredible as well as well as what the cats in England have figured out on the grime side, you know, Stormzy and those cats that were constantly early in the early days of what they were doing. They were constantly trying to emulate rap groups from over here. I went to England and covered them during the URMTV raps era. I remember London Posse was one of the hottest groups at the time that had a New York

East Coast kind of rap flow but they never really blew up as big as they wanted to in England but then they figured out how to do it in their own way with their own slang and their own way of speaking and they made some dope records and blew ups. Yeah, because I thought about that with y'all. What was

the future for VJs back then? Did y'all even know what the future looked like? What did y'all aspire to be after the VJ thing? Well, good question. Thankfully for me, I was doing something prior. I was already making moves, making art, making films like Wild Style. And the VJ thing just came to me really honestly which was great people would run up to me i want to do this how do you do it i was like man i'd be awkward

because i'm like i can't tell you how to do there's no go to go to vj school right do this it was just a moment uh clearly mtv is a different you know all that stuff like doesn't exist. Millions of people do that on YouTube, if you will. So there wasn't really a clear path, if you will. I think, interestingly, Ed Lover going to radio along with Dr. Dre initially and being really good at it was a great transition. There were some people that had worked at radio behind the scenes and whatever that then came to mtv uh stephen hill had been a have been a radio person and then transitioned to become one of the producers at mtv but yeah that's a good one man there wasn't too many clear paths other than radio or some type of tv announcing maybe commercials and whatever but

for me like i wanted to just get back to doing the things that I'm doing I'm like an obsessive creative and so that's it you know it's just creating and that's still what I primarily do do you remember that day you shot with NWA when you went out there yeah that was a good one yeah and I've been and it became a lot of people's favorite show I remember vividly we have been playing videos by easy on the channel and Ted Demme and would he would talk to easy often and easy was like man I'm want y'all to come out we have a new group and I remember them sending us a memo the day before so listen nobody don't wear anything red or anything black.

No black either? No, I'm sorry. Red or blue. Red or blue. Wear black is what they said. And I was like, man, I've been to LA a bunch of times, but I didn't understand the dynamics in the hood. You know, I'd be in West Hollywood, in and out on some art business or what have you. And so we was like, okay okay so we want to show people

this this scene so let's rent a flatbed truck and let's ride around because you know we hadn't seen like what the hood was like or any semblance of la and so we meet at the welcome to compton sign and then we get on this flatbed truck and ride around and do segments from the truck they take us to a swap meet and they give us a little insight on how they live and it was crazy it was a i knew it was going to be a great show i get back to the hotel and i put the walkman on with got the cassette of the new album nwa album strata comp that i listened to it for the first time and i'm literally snatching the headphones off my head. Can't believe the things that they're saying.

F the police and just the aggressiveness and the music was amazing and incredible. But the things they were saying, I was like, man, MTV is not going to let this happen. They're going to pull this, man. We done shot this incredible show riding around. Nothing's going to happen. Well, the videos they weren't able to play, the video for Straight Outta Compton, but they still had other videos and other content,

and the interview played, and it took off. Man, it took off. So lovely. When you hear the Mount Rushmore of hip-hop, right, who's on your Mount Rushmore as far as artists are concerned? Well, you know, when I get asked those kind of questions, I'm basically like, I've loved so many. And I'm also aware that there's different eras where different people were the most important people at that time. Right. So as the eras have evolved, my Mount Rushmore, it would be various versions.

But I'm a lyrics guy okay primarily so based on lyricism oh man it'd be in the beginning you know I'll screw up and I won't I'm sure there's names I'll forget but in the beginning of course you know like only before for every era look at you you know Melly Mel uh Moe D, Kaz, Cowboy, you know. And then going on further from that, you know, Kane, Rakim, G-Rap. Okay. People forget about G-Rap a lot. And I don't understand why.

Because when you listen to G-Rap, you clearly get it. I mean, his lyrical game was masterful. Just incredible way he played with words. Who else was my other four from that early period? I guess I would have to put, I'll drop a cube in there. Cube, okay. You know? And then moving forward, you know Biggie, Pac, of course, you know.

I'm stuck right now. I can't think of all the names that I would love, but pretty much those that, you know, Nas, of course, who I luckily got to direct one of his first videos. One mic, right? He did one mic. One love. One love, one love. Yeah, that Q-Tip produced, you know. So, man, just, and then to see Nas still putting out incredible music

on a consistent basis, it's like a jazz artist. It just, look look i got something to say i'm not pressured it's not about the paper if you will i'm just want to express this i'm gonna drop this on you and so it's just that from his pops probably one of the time and he probably get that from his pops yeah oh yeah olodara who used to live near me in harlem and we would talk because you know and that's that's a key thing that Nas has similar to something that Rakim has both of them obviously Nas Dabbs a jazz musician Rakim had jazz musician it was a singer I can't remember her name but earlier connection to to jazz and that sensibility I think is a is a big part

of his flow and his dynamic as an artist. All right, well, don't move. We got more with Fab Five Freddy when we come back. It's the breakfast. 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.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ and the Charlemagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Fab Five Freddie. Charlamagne? You did Pac's first interview, right?

First time on national TV. A lot of those cats. The first time I interviewed Pac was on this set of the movie Juice. And then we held that show until the movie dropped a few months later. And then we aired it you know and i'm also did a cameo in juice as myself you know hosting your mtv raps while the dj battle was going on and uh yeah talk about that set juice classic movie to this day man amazing um really many stars from that movie too yeah a lot of good stars a lot of just really good dynamics um and i'm

pretty sure tupac would definitely have excelled in acting and clearly would have been Oscar nominated by now. His dynamism on the screen was just something. I think people that have been able to do it in music and do it on the screen, it's just a rare group of people that have been able to do that and still resonate to us in such a powerful way. But yeah, Pac and I were pretty tight. The second time I interviewed Pac, once again, this was pre-Death Row.

I like this one because it was the first time I knew his background, like he had a Black panther link family wise and that was the first um time he'd spoken about that when i pulled that out of him and he explained how his mother was panther father that so that that fire and that awareness of what they were fighting for um was was a part of his his consciousness so which was really. He was a dynamic cat. I mean, he could be the most militant, F-O-Y, fruit of Islam, Black Panther, and then spin on a dime and just be the illest thug. And that was, I think, a part of the actor in him.

He could completely be those people, or any other people, I'm sure, he would have gotten to play in films. He would have been super effective and compelling. So that was a great loss. So you saw that back then? Absolutely. Okay.

Because it was just, you're talking to him and he, you know, and then he flip and be just super hood. And I think the persona that he remained in for most of his public life after was the persona of Bishop in juice like that was his character that you know he wanted to come on everybody and as many people wanted wish to have been a big dude on the new york scene or strong cat that can flex like in harlem and all that and juice was his way to do that and because come on he he wasn't that dude prior but he stayed in that character largely and then unfortunately got caught up in this that and

the third on the new york side if you know the drum and then and went west coast and you would think he was born in south central the way he repped you know on out there and cali which so super effectively but he could uh he was convincing in any of those genres or any of those formats he would put himself in why do you think commercially because you was there from the inception why do you think commercially the west coast took off it seems like to me before the east coast like i'm talking about with the massive mainstream success that we see in hip-hop now interesting i. I just, I don't know, that's... But what'd you say to that?

Because you had Run DMC, you had LL Cool J. I thought it was their turn. Yeah, we blew up big and dug out and planted a firm foundation. That's why this culture still rocks so hard to this day, because the roots went deep. Without anything going viral too early or people jumping out there tucson and jeff rowe was a monster snoop dogg sold what 800 plus thousand his first and second week he was like the first hip-hop artist on on certain magazine covers like he

really was it was something else that was something else and it started with nwa to me but yeah it was it was a big thing they me. Yeah, it was. It was a big thing. They had an incredible movement. I think it just followed. They added on nicely to the foundation that was laid right here in New York. And then once again, I was honored to get to direct Snoop's first video for What's My Name and turned him into a dog. And then interestingly, you know, I'm in the cannabis business now with a brand called B Noble, which grew out of a film I made, which you can see on Netflix, called Grass is Greener.

And I got Snoop as in my film. And Snoop tells a story, which I didn't know, that he, Dre, I spent that whole summer living with Dre in Calabasas because the first day of shooting Snoop's video, him performing on VIP records, right after that, we changed locations in Long Beach. That turns into a near riot.

That's like not more than a year after the LA riots. So we got shut down. Dre says, Fab, I got to finish Snoop's album. If you can chill and hang, we will get the video done. But my priority is getting this record done so that let's let me to spend the rest of that summer out there hanging with

Dre and the dog pound getting to know them real well seeing Dre's process in the studio which was remarkable and then we would get a moment to run out and get some scenes that would be other parts of the video and then towards the end of the summer there was a big scene that i never got to shoot because snoop got caught up uh famously yeah murder was the case i said man i'm out of here this is just it's enough enough i'm going back to new york i want to document like fab you need you need a document absolutely like you yourself like you have to tell oh man your story because you know i hear it in bits and pieces whether i've seen vlad tv interviews you know of course read the new york articles and stuff but I'm like you need

the proper telling of your tale how did you get your name um I became a part of a graffiti crew called the fabulous five they were the one of the dominant groups of graffiti painters in New York which were known for doing murals on this side of the primarily on the lexington avenue number five train so what you would tag up was you know you tag your name and the group you was down with and then off and then sometimes i would be referred to as oh that's fab five freddie you know i'm saying it's fab five fred and when blondie made rapture it just embedded it and solidified it when she dropped my name, when she basically was like Fab Five.

Freddie told me everybody's fly. And I was like, man, wow, I never thought of it as the whole thing. But that's a good look. You know what I mean? She represented and gave me a look and it it boom. So that's how that really came together. I just want you to tell people how difficult it was to tag trains back in the day. It was.

Just talk about that. There's a great documentary that was done the same time we make him wild style early 80s there was a documentary called style wars that illustrates in fact k slay who's a young graffiti writer named des is featured as a young graffiti writer and he's um you see him in Star Wars. Yeah, I mean, you had to know where the trains, what we call the layup, or in times when the rush hour is not running, the extra trains are placed in different areas in the city, sometimes in tunnels, sometimes at the yards. So you had to know which train you wanted to get up on,

where that train was going to be whether in a tunnel or way up in the train yards at the end of the train line somewhere and then you had to be stealthy on some ninja type energy to get up in there because one of the objectives is also you know not to get caught and so you had to have all those pieces together to get in get out and hopefully not get caught you ever got caught tagging the tree never never if you get caught one of your sentences was to go wash walls so you get to clean the graffiti off the tree overalls they give you a bucket and a bunch of chemicals and you be at some

platform in some station having to clean walls feeling like man I got caught out here I feel I'm like a herb now you know so it wasn't easy it was a very difficult thing and uh it's just amazing how something that people thought was just vandalism back in the day became something so synonymous art with new york city it gave the city character you see it in video games cartoons everything like that blows my mind you know graffiti fonts you know you can get a font and just use graffiti letters. So that's really satisfying to see that a lot of these ideas we had have really worked. And I'm excited for the next 50.

All right. Well, we appreciate you for joining us. Bad 5 Freddy. Thanks for having me, man. Bad 5 Freddy. It's an honor to be up here with you guys. Honor to have you, brother. Absolutely.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Drink, drink. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne brother. Absolutely. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Drink, drink. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Yes, indeed. On this Monday, shout out to Louis V. Louis V is here. Our guy, Louis V.

What up, Louis V? Merry Monday, by the way, man. As merry as it can be to be a Monday, but you should be grateful that you woke up this morning because there's so many people that woke up dead today. Jesus. So, happy Merry Monday. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors

and let's talk about Bob Barker. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm gossiping. This is the rumor report.

I mean, I guess we on the breakfast club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. The price is right, bitch. What movie is that from? I have no idea. It's Happy Gilmore. Bob Barker was in Happy Gilmore. You didn't see Happy Gilmore? All right. right right the price is right bitch what movie is that from i have no idea it's happy gilmore bob barker was in happy gilmore you didn't see happy gilmore all right well rest in peace to

bob barker of course you know him from the price is right he passed away at the age of 99 that man lived a great life drop on the clues bombs for bob barker all you idiots that be saying stuff like life is short when somebody passes away at 99, you're stupid. Now, when they reported it, I mean, there were so many people. He served in World War II. He was a Navy fighter pilot. And then he got into television. And he returned from war. He finished college in L.A. and then started his career.

So definitely rest in peace. You know, if you read the comments, people were making jokes and said that he died at 99 he was the close it was the closest to uh going over a dollar before he got over a dollar because if you watch price is right you have to get under a dollar so that's what they were saying so what if he passed away as soon as he got an afterlife the first thing he heard was come on down and god was like i'm playing come on come on come on come on all right uh young thug's father was pretty upset. He was saying, you know, it's kind of confusing to him why Donald Trump got a bond for his RICO charges, but his son can't.

He said, free YSL. Trump and crew got a bond. Young Thug and YSL face the exact same charges, but no bond. Make justice fair. We deserve a fair fight, too. So Young Thug was tampering with an election? Young Thug was trying to sway the outcome of an election? No, he was just saying the RICO charges because they both got hit with the RICO.

But it's not the same charges, my brother. Well, one was more for drugs and murder and the other was for swaying election. Duh. And I bet you there's people in the comments agreeing with that absolutely all ricohs are not created equal that's that's that's nah that's because it's a ricoh don't mean it's the same type of ricoh that you know trump and them got now the reality is trump and trump shouldn't have a bond that man got 91 criminal charges right trump should be in somebody's jail if you got 91 criminal charges and four indictments you

should be in somebody's jail but he's white he's rich and he's a president well that's the former president that's the fact the former president because there's a lot of privileges that go with that but that is not the example to use unless of course young thug was uh you know trying to sway the jury sway the outcome of an election right yes now also you know you usually get a bomb because they think people think you're gonna run but donald trump can't run he has the man 330 pounds he hasn't ran in decades he's not 300 he's 215 pounds not at all but that's what he says all right now uh salute to diddy now did he invest two million dollars over 24 hour period supporting black initiatives uh the first one he stopped by the cricket miak swap challenge

kickoff in atlanta and uh gave a million dollars donating it to jackson state university football so salute to diddy and the next one he stopped by invest fest uh hosted by of course earn your leisure and he gave them a million dollars to invest and the profits and proceeds for that are going to be going to hbU. So salute to Diddy. What you guys have done for financial literacy, I think it's time that y'all go to the next level. It's time to go to the next level. So I got something I want to present to y'all.

That Millie? Yeah. Millie? I hear you guys always talk about what you want to invest in and what you're doing. And I know you have your own investments, but I want to create a fund that was special so you guys can invest and show people through this investment how you're making money and also all the proceeds of this are going to go to my schools in New York Capital Prep so as, my piece is going to the school

and your piece is going to whoever you want to give it to. He finally gave Jackson State that money because he promised that money to Jackson State a while ago and folks were saying he promised it but hadn't gave it yet. So salute to Diddy for giving that money to Jackson State

as well as the EYL Fund. And and that is your rumor report that's right i don't want to do it now i'll do it after donkey i got a special announcement i'll do it after donkey do now do little i'll do it after donkey all right well you know what might as well we got time right we got four minutes man give me the drum roll right come on give me that drum roll okay all right now i got a special announcement uh if you know anything about me, then you know I am a huge mental health advocate.

Provide substantial state-of-the-art mental health services for underserved black communities across the U.S. And a few years ago, myself and my organization decided every World Mental Health Day or around World Mental Health Day, we wanted to have an event called the Mental Wealth Expo, a day where we bring together some of the best mental health experts and activists in the country for a day of mental health education and healing.

I was donkey up the day. Made it. Damn, the hee-haw again. It's time for donkey up the day. I ain't trying to be donkey today no more.

They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. I called donkey up the day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Solomon. Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, Jess Hilarious, donkey of the day.

For Monday, August 28th goes the U.S. track star Noah Lyles. First things first, congratulations, young man. Okay, Noah Lyles is 26 years old and he won three gold medals this weekend at the

2023 World Championships in Budapest. He's the world's number one ranked 200 meter runner. He's also in the top five in the 100 meter, according to World Athletics. Drop on the clues bombs for that young man. Noah Louse is his name.

Now with all that he's accomplished this weekend, how come when I Google this man's name this morning all I see is a bunch of articles from Sports Illustrated, the Bleacher Report, talking about the NBA. Talking about NBA players clapping back at U.S. track star Noah Lyles, a world champion comment. What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? What did Noah Lyles say about the NBA and why? Well, let's listen to what the young man Noah Lyles had to say. World champion of what?

The United States? the young man know a lot had to say world champion of what the united states you know the thing that hurts me the most is that i have to watch the nba finals and they have world champion on their head world champion of what the united states don't get me wrong i i love the u.S. at times, but that ain't the world. That is not the world. We are the world. We have almost every country out here fighting, thriving, putting on their flag to show that they are represented. There ain't no flags in the NBA. Nah, that ain't it, y'all.

Young King Noah Lyles, why? You know, the late, great Larry King told me once, Charlemagne, the most important question you can ask in an interview is why. And I believe we have to start applying that to life. Just ask why sometimes. Why, Noah Lyles, on the biggest day of your athletic career, you just decided to randomly shoot at some other people who aren't even playing the same sport as you. Now, in theory, Noah's probably right,

but we all know why the NBA is called the world champions. Because the NBA is considered the premier professional basketball league in the world. Okay? And the teams that win the NBA finals are considered to be the best in the world at the sport of basketball. Noah said there are no flags in the NBA. It's several. Okay? American, Canadian, Suburbian, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Spain, Senegalese, French. Okay? all noah said there are no flags in the nba it's several okay american canadian suburban the

democratic republic of the congo spain uh senegalese french okay whatever luke is all right noah noah the best players in the world come to play in the nba okay the last three mvps of the league aren't even american yannis yokich and bead okay an american james harden hasn't won an mvp since 2018. And look, I'm not going to argue semantics with you because technically you're right. Even though the NBA is the best basketball competition in the world, okay? Even though Michael Jackson once said, we are the world. Even though Nas said, the world is yours.

But I'll go back to the question Larry King said to always ask, why? Why spend your moment throwing shade at other people? Your moment throwing shade at a whole other sport that has nothing to do with you. When I heard these statements, I didn't think you were American. I just assumed you had to be from another country talking like this, looking down on us arrogant Americans. But I didn't hear an accent, and I was like, damn, he runs for the USA, so what's his story?

And it didn't take long for me to figure out what's the problem here, ladies and gentlemen. Noah Lyles, young man, 26 years old. Where do you think he's from, Envy? Florida. Gainesville, Florida. I knew it. What does your Uncle Charla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and Noah Liles is clearly no exception. This is your moment, Noah. You won three gold medals. There is nothing you should be talking about in this moment except you, God, if you believe, your family and the work you put in.

This is a moment to show extreme gratitude for the position God and your hard work put you in. I know you feeling yourself. You feeling great. But you absolutely led with ego on this one this was all your ego talking and i don't understand why we are in an era where people can't celebrate their moments without throwing some shade or slander on someone else is winning not enough anymore noah are you a tad bit jealous and envious of the accolades attention and money that nba players get is there a woman in your life that you may have you have eyes for but maybe she got eyes for an nba baller shot caller huh did you

lose a woman to someone in the nba i'm just asking because this is such a random shot at an inopportune time i don't understand the why of any of this especially from an american i don't know what caused you to step on your own moment like this young man, and you can't moonwalk it back like the man who told us we are the world. Only thing you can do is watch how you step moving forward. But that won't stop us from asking why would a U.S. athlete throw shots at U.S. sports on a day when we should be celebrating U.S. athletes and U.S. sports for being the best in the world. What did we learn from this situation, people?

Well, it's a lesson we should all know. But never build yourself up by tearing someone else down. Please give Noah Lyles the sweet sounds and the hammer tones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. Such a random shot. Such a random shot.

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, BET. We'll see you guys tomorrow. So peace, BET. Yes, indeed. All right. Everybody else. Why are you acting see you guys tomorrow. So peace, BET. Yes, indeed. All right. Everybody else. Why are you acting like

you don't know what we're doing? I do. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. So there's this new app, Text with Jesus. All right. Now, this app is done with ChatGPT,

and it's an app where it says that it's for devoted christians seeking a deeper connection with the bible's most iconic figures so let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 if you can text anything to jesus what would it be like for instance right if i'm charlamagne i might say jesus why am i so short no No, I wouldn't say that. If I'm Charlemagne, I might say, Jesus, why is my package so small? What are you talking about? Or if I'm Charlemagne, maybe I might say, Jesus, why did I lose my hair so early in life? If you get a chance to talk to Jesus Envy at a time like this, you're wasting your time asking those questions.

There's some more important things you could be talking to Jesus about right now. But that's what we're asking. 800-585-1051. Personally, I would ask Jesus, let me talk to your boss. I want to speak to the owner. Where's your father? All right?

That's what you said. Get the big man on the phone. You playing, right? I'm not playing. I want to talk to God. Okay. Okay? That's what I would say

if I got the opportunity to talk to Jesus. God's not available right now. If somebody knock on your door right now and hopefully the kids ain't answering the door, but if one of the kids answers the door, they're not going to want to talk to the kids.

They want to talk to their parents. Correct. I want to talk to the owner. Where the daddy at? That's what you're going to say? That's what I would say to Jesus. What's up, Jesus? Good to meet you.

Where's your pops at? I talk to pops. You talk to your pops around? Yes. Your pops around? Really are pops, technically. Okay? That's what I would want to know.

What about if Jesus Treats you like New York treats Seven day Avengers And be like Pop's not home And don't even open the door for you If you try not to go What New York doing

Why would New York do that To the Avengers The Avengers saved the whole damn I didn't say Avengers I said seven day Avengers Alright anyway 800-585-1051 If you could text Jesus

What would you ask What would you say I bet you the craziest answers Come from people in Bronx And Florida I can't wait to hear it Let's talk about it When we come back It's the Breakfast Club Good morning I bet you the craziest answers come from people in Bronx. Let's talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club.

Daddy calling my phone. Tell her, tell her. Made it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, there's a new app where you can actually text Jesus. That's right. It's called Text With Jesus. Now, ChatGP new app where you can actually text Jesus. That's right. It's called Text with Jesus.

Now, ChatGPT returns the text. Now, this is for devoted Christians seeking a deeper connection with the Bible's most iconic figure. So, we're asking 800-585-1051. If you could text with Jesus, what would you ask? Did it say that Jesus is the Bible's most iconic figure? Well, you could not only Jesus. Other people in the Bible, too, you could text them as well. Okay. I know Jesus is more popular than everybody else in the Bible. But he figure. Well, you could not only Jesus, other people in the Bible, too. You could text them as well.

Okay. No, Jesus is more popular than everybody else in the Bible. Correct. But he ain't more popular than his daddy. And I think that's what we forget sometimes. You know what I'm saying? Jesus is the son. God is the father.

Okay. So if I got the opportunity to talk to Jesus, I would say, why am I speaking to management? I would like to speak to the owner. Because technically, we are God's children. Correct. So why do I got to talk to you, my brother, to talk to our daddy? Can I speak to pops? Right.

That's what I would ask. That's what you ask. That's what I would want to know. Can I speak to pops, please, Jesus? Now, what happens if Jesus said no? I'd be like, why are you acting like that, bro? You know what I'm saying? Why are you blocking me from talking to my pops?

Like, why do I only got to talk to my pops, you know, in my room, on my knees, alone? You know what I mean? When I'm driving in my car, why can't I have to talk to my pops, you know, in my room, on my knees, alone? You know what I mean? When I'm driving in my car, why can't I have a conversation with pops right now? No, I mean, you sound ungrateful. You sound like the kid that pops never showed up for Christmas. I mean, I mean, come on. Okay. You know?

And that's the other thing people should be asking Jesus. Why they got your name headlining all of these things, but you not really the headliner? They use you. They use you, Jesus. Why they got your name headlining all of these things, but you're not really the headliner. They use you. They use you, Jesus, but you're not really the headliner. Easter. It's the Easter bunny. Christmas. Santa Claus. Oh, Santa Claus. The Grinch. It's mad people

that got more popping storylines around Christmas than Jesus. The tooth fairy. Yeah, true. Jesus ain't got nothing to do with the damn tooth fairy. i mean somebody gotta lay that money down let's go to the phone lines 800-585-1051 hello who's this it's beast bug out of york it's b-e-a-s-c-b-o-o-g okay all right man you got a chance to text jesus what you're gonna text him uh i was just asking why we while we still in 2023 going through the things we going through, all the racial motivated crimes from these white guys, you know,

and why he gave us the will to be so forgiving for it. Jesus is going to say, I didn't give you that. Jesus is going to say, I didn't give you that. That was my dad. Mm. Mm. OK. OK.

In fact, Jesus is going to hear these hard problems and be like man y'all got to take this up from my pops okay hello who's this hey this is Ladarius from where Ladarius oh I'm from Michigan well I'm from Alabama Birmingham but I stay in Michigan okay well you text Jesus what you texting well if I'm texting Jesus the first thing I would want to know is I know birds and the bees God created that flower. What about trees? Everybody uses birds.

That's it. Everywhere you go, I wonder if Jesus ever used birds. I can't even understand him. What are you saying? What would you text Jesus, bro? What would I text Jesus? I wonder, you know, if Jesus created birds and the bees, I wonder if he ever used trees because that's a product of his, too. You're going to ask Jesus about the birds and the bees and trees.

So you're going to text Jesus. I'm talking about herbs. I see if he's smoking weed? I'm talking about herbs. Oh, weed. So you wanna text Jesus if he smokes weed? Yeah, I wonder if he ever did. He created it. I wonder if it's a great product for humans. I'm sure he did. You heard of the burning bush? Yeah, see what I'm saying?

I don't know. Never salute to Jesus. Come on, man. Salute to Jesus. That ain't nothing but great product. Listen, the reality is not only was Jesus probably high, everybody around Jesus was high, too, because they thought that man walked on water. You stupid. I mean, think about it.

Come on, now. We all hallucinated. This man was probably amazing, but damn. Walking on water? You think Jesus smoked Reggie? No, hell no. Jesus got the finest of cushions. Hello, who's this?

Yo, it's your boy, Jew, from the Daily Rappaport. What's good, y'all? Jew, what's up? What would you text Jesus, brother? Yo, I'm going to have to ask Jesus, why every time when you break up with a young lady, you got a small n***a all of a sudden? Jesus is going to tell you, take that up with Pops.

Pops designed that, too. You know what I'm saying? God designed that, too, yo. What's up with you, bro? Yo, but they be loving it right before then. You hear what I'm saying? That's the biggest **** they ever seen. But as soon as you break up, that **** shrimp all of a sudden.

Bro, you got that a lot. You small. You just admit it. Just say, I'm small. Yeah, I'm a grower, not a shower. Come on, don't be putting my business down the street. I'm the same way. I'm a grower, not a shower.

You know what I'm saying? You might see me after shower and prejudgment. You know what I'm saying? But then see me after shower and prejudgment. You know what I'm saying? But then when I get excited, oh, look out. 7 inches, 3-4-8 when it's warm out, baby. Oh, my goodness. 800-585-1051. There's a new app where you can text Jesus.

It's called Text with Jesus. And you can ask Jesus anything. And if you could, what would you ask Jesus? 800-585-1051. They say that this app is devoted Christians seeking a deeper connection with the Bible's most iconic figures. Now, the app reportedly uses chat GPDs, AI technology to interact with you. So that's what we're asking. 800-585-1051.

Let's discuss this at the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about this new app called Text With Jesus, where you could text Jesus anything. We're asking, what would you text Jesus?

That is the question. Hello, who's this? What's going on, man? What's going on, morning crew? Why your phone so crazy, brother? I don't know. It's the echo. Okay.

So if you could text Jesus anything, what would you text Jesus? I would ask Jesus, where's the Garden of Eden at? Oh, that's a good one. I know it's still on this earth. Okay. Where do you think it's at? It has to be somewhere over there where it all started at. It was going back to like near there or something.

You know what's so crazy? There's a rumor, and I don't know if this is true, but this is just things of things that I read. They actually say the Garden of eden is in florida like the alleged site of the garden of the eden garden of eden is in like uh somewhere in florida i forgot where in florida but it's in florida okay hello who's this i'm dead serious this is prince creed from virginia beach virginia by way of pattison new jersey okay breakfast club what up prince now tell us uh if you could text jesus Prince Creed from Virginia Beach, Virginia by way of Patterson, New Jersey. Okay. What up, Prince? Now tell us, if you could text Jesus, what would you text Jesus?

I would text Jesus why he's allowing the devil to live that long. Because I know it's stated in my lessons back in the days of why the God makes devil to show forth his powers, right? And that he would destroy the devil in one day. I'm like, yo, God, the devil is living thousands of years now devil in one day. I'm like, yo, God, the devil is living

thousands of years now after that one day. So I would ask God, why didn't you take the devil up our planet? What if Jesus said, let me talk to Pops, and then Pops, God, says the only reason the devil is still alive is because y'all keep submitting y'all will to him. Because you can submit your will to the God in you, or submit your will to

the devil in you, but so many of us choose to continue to submit our will to the devil in us, and that's why the devil in you. But so many of us choose to continue to submit the will, submit our will to the devil in us and that's why the devil is still alive. You ready for that answer? Yo, that's a good answer.

And you know what? I can see Jesus saying that. You know what I mean? Because we do us to the devil man with our complaints and the whole nine. That's right.

So, Charlemagne, I truly agree with that. I won't even be mad at that answer. That's right. I would text Jesus. I would ask if Jesus was a Knicks fan. I would definitely ask, why did he create the Dallas Cowboys?

Definitely ask that. You know, the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee who works with us, he said, I would ask Jesus if you want us to be healthy and in shape, why a salad's $17, but yet you have a dollar menu. Once again, Jesus is going to say, that don't got nothing to do with me. That's y'all humans and y'all free will. That's capitalism. Okay?

Jesus and God are going to say, we gave you everything here on this earth for free. That's right. Y'all decided to round it all up and start selling it for higher prices. You the one that wanted a Whopper. The president of the Fat Lives Matter committee also said he would text Jesus does the line at the pearly gates look like the line at the DMV? No. No. Because any of y'all can get a license. All of y'all

ain't getting into heaven. Hello, who's this? Sean. Sean, what's up, man? If you could text Jesus, what would you text Jesus? I would text Jesus and ask him where the hell is Jess Hilarious at? That's a good question. That is a great question. She's taking her son to school this

morning. I'm sure Jess Hilarious is somewhere taking her son to school. But if you could text Jesus anything, that's what you would text Jesus? I mean, I got two questions. Of course I would want to ask about my dad. But for the show, like I want to know where the hell, I'm asking y'all.

I ain't just asking Jesus. Asking us what? Oh, you mean where she at this morning? Oh, you mean you want her here this morning is what you're saying? Yes. I want her on the show, period, as the new co-host. Well, pray to Jesus, Daddy. Pray to Jesus, Daddy.

Get on right now. Hello, who's this? Uh-huh. This is Brad from out of Hillsborough hey Brad good morning uh I think that if I was on the five words to be able to ask Jesus one question honestly how mad are you at us with the weather and everything else that's going on you know I'm saying that don't have nothing to do with god or jesus that is us we've done these things to the earth climate change okay all right we have yeah no no i agree with that

but you know how there's people how there's people who whenever they see the world going some type way they want to talk about like it's a act of God and all that, I'd want to ask him, you know what I'm saying? Check the facts. That way at least I could be like, nah, I talked to Jesus. He said y'all are wrong. Because none of us want to take accountability for our own actions. But the reality is, man, 95% of the things that are happening to us on this planet

are our fault, and it don't got nothing to do with God. Hello, who's this? If you could text Jesus one thing, what would you take so so I got the facts I got the proof I got the date I got the voice I got the eyes I got the tattoos I got the words I got the name and I'm trying to let people know that I'm back Jesus don't nobody want to listen yes it's me I'm trying to let people know that I'm back. Jesus, is this you? Don't nobody want to listen.

Yes, it's me. I'm back. What's happening, Jesus? Hey, Jesus on the line. We got Jesus on the main line. Hey. We got Jesus on the main line. Hey.

You know what's so funny about this? You know what's so funny about this? Thank you. I always say to myself, if somebody came back right now and told us he was Jesus, we wouldn't even believe him. Nah, we wouldn't believe him. We wouldn't believe him. You wouldn't. No matter what miracle he did, we wouldn't believe him. If't even believe him. Nah, we wouldn't believe him. We wouldn't believe him. You wouldn't. They don't.

No matter what miracle he did, we wouldn't believe him. If he walked underwater, we wouldn't believe him. That's right. If he made all of this fish... I walked underwater. It wasn't... That's the difference. I walked underwater. What? I drowned. I died. I didn't die, though. Lake Alatoona. You can ask anybody.

My girl was there. She saw me. There were people standing there I came out I was blue I was still alive I think this is Jesus This is Jesus Have a blessed day No it's not

It's your fault It's your fault Yeah tell pops I said peace Alright what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is man God communicates with us By way of all things But he's not communicating with us

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.

Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now let's get to the rumors.

Rumor has it, rumor, rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you get to the rumors. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, over the weekend, social media was going crazy off of a statement that this blogger made.

Now, he was talking about Beyonce. And during this conversation about Beyonce, he talked about Beyonce being banned from restaurants. And it was called the Michael Jackson rule. Taylor shut down New Jersey. Beyonce not shutting down New Jersey by just going to a restaurant. Taylor shut down New Jersey. She's causing problems. Oh, no.

Beyonce can't go to restaurants. She's forbidden. Yep. I'm sorry, Charlotte man i'm dead serious she's forbidden to go to restaurants it's actually this thing called like a mike it's like the michael jackson law because you know how michael couldn't show up like michael couldn't just walk around and call yeah she'll get she'll get uh locked up for inciting riots that was 10 years ago they put her on that. Oh, I heard of that. That's from that podcast called The Brilliant Idiots. Yes, sir.

Hosted by Andrew Schultz and Charlamagne Tha God. It's a new podcast that's been around for 10 years. But, you know, this is a prime example of how nobody cares about the truth

when the lie is more entertaining. And I knew this was going to happen. You can literally say anything nowadays and if it sounds good, folks will run with it. I literally said I was lying immediately after I made that statement. I't hear that well play that part right

me and you both just told two laws two lies back to back but you figure it out you figure out yours is believable oh that's the michael jackson law oh yeah that law been around forever somebody's gonna take that clip that clip and post it. Let them post it. There is a Michael Jackson law, though. I looked all week and I didn't see, I didn't hear that part. I only heard the part where somebody said that there's a Michael Jackson law and Beyonce is banned from all restaurants.

I posted that part on my page. I'm not even mad at the websites and the blogs that reposted the headline. Charlamagne explains why Beyonce is not allowed to eat at public restaurants. But I literally said I was lying right after I said that. The good brother Bun B reposted and put, sorry, see the God, but the queen Beyonce is more than welcome to dine at Trail Burgers. And we can anticipate and handle any and all issues on site, bro. F you mean. People serious. I was lying.

Okay. I have read lots of mad at you right now. It was a social experiment just to show that nobody cares about the truth when the lies were entertaining. And not only did I say I was lying, I said watch somebody clip this and it become a headline. So that's exactly what happened.

So it's not true. How about that? How about y' man leave me alone how about that how about y'all leave me alone on this merry monday morning now a blogger who owes cardi b 3.9 million offers to pay a six-figure sum to settle debt in bankruptcy uh and cardi b is like nah i need my money in full now uh the blogger who proposed this plan said that she will play pay 220 000 dollars uh to unsecure creditors which includes cardi b uh for 20 quarters so 220k over 20 quarters which i think is like 4.4 million dollars something like that and uh that's what she wants to do to pay cardi b back her money and now this is all because uh cardi b cardi b sued the blogger over a series of YouTube videos she posted accusing Cardi B of using hard drugs, working as an escort, and having an STD.

That's a prime example of why you better stop just saying things online. Okay? Lord, have mercy. And lastly, R. Kelly. The victims are awarded $10.5 million. Now, that's over a threat that shut down the surviving R. Kelly, the victims are awarded $10.5 million. Now, that's over a threat that shut down the surviving R. Kelly screening. You remember that screening was here in New York City. They were having a screening to show the documentary, and they were all pulled out because allegedly somebody called in and said they were going to shoot it up.

Well, the six women who appeared in the surviving R. Kelly docuseries have been awarded $10.5 million after they successfully sued the disgraced singer and his former manager over a threat that shut down the 2018 screening. Where did he get that money from, though? I guess his, I mean, he still gets royalties, right? So it would partly come from those royalties. I read something recently where Universal Music Group has to pay like a half a million dollars in music royalties to the sexual abuse victims i always thought you know i'm surprised that didn't happen sooner like i always thought that they would lean on you know the label the label or the universal or whoever it is well if they get that money well if universal's paying i'm sure it's not universal's money i'm sure it's the money from that they were supposed to pay r kelly yeah from his music yeah

from his music yeah all right and that is your rumor report. Again, let me just salute to everybody that came out to the car show over this weekend. It was a two-day car show.
