Get it off your chest, bro. What's up, man? Hey, Charlamagne, good morning. Peace, Zach. Good morning.

Morning. Hey, yo, so I got a two-year-old, and I got some kids around my same age. What they eating? Because my son eats juice, crackers, and strawberries. That's not it. That's your fault. Yeah, that's your fault. I'll be honest with you.

That's my fault, man. I got the green beans. You won't eat them. Nope. I keep telling y'all, when a kid get hungry, a kid going to eat anything. Y'all, what happens is these kids start bucking back when they don't want something, and we bow down to them and give them what they want. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do.

You shouldn't give your child that many snacks. That's what all the parents out there. For my last daughter, my last daughter never really ate baby food. She ate, like, real food. We did that. We did that. We did the whole try to match things up,

you know, do all that. He did good at first. But now... But like Charlamagne said, the baby got to be eating something. Y'all even giving that baby snacks? Y'all giving that baby crackers? Y'all giving that baby...

Oh, well, no. Eventually, eventually he'll eat. I guess... You got to be eating something. Y'all even giving that baby snacks? Y'all giving that baby crackers? Y'all giving that baby... Oh, well, no. Eventually, he'll eat. I guess... You got to starve him out. You got to starve him out, man. But try to find things that the baby will eat. Like, my daughter loves... And she's not even two years old,

but my daughter loves, like, the little chicken fingers that you could bake in the oven. Oh, man, y'all want to chicken fingers these kids to death. My daughter loves that. My daughter loves... Chicken fingers ain't no better than the stuff y'all talking about. You can't chicken fingers that you could bake in the oven. No, man. Y'all want to chicken fingers these kids to death. My daughter loves that. My daughter loves... Chicken fingers ain't no better than the stuff y'all talking about. You can't chicken fingers them to death. But that's better than crackers and strawberries.

Well, no. They're the chicken breast that are made in the fingers. Yeah, chicken breast is different. No, it's not chicken fingers from a fast food place, but I would try that. Also, my child likes things like rice, macaroni and cheese. And then I throw in broccoli. My child loves broccoli. Hey, y'all sound crazy.

My kids like food. That's all y'all saying. No, because not. You're naming food, bro.

But I like to refer to myself as man-kinder. Because I've been through this situation before. It's a unique situation. I have motor sclerosis and Parkinson's and diabetes and high blood pressure. But the thing about it, I don't look at myself as a disabled, handicapped person. I look at myself as a person that's injured. And I'm on the road to recovery back.

we're looking up to you. Man, that could have made somebody's whole life different. Are you saying that you want Envy to give you an old turntable? That I don't have? No, no, no. No, it's not about giving me stuff. It's about just understanding you never know what that person could have been. I could have been somebody else who was down and just had no type of hope or nothing.

That could have made somebody's life change. I keep telling him to stop hanging up on people. I don't know why he does that to people all the time. I don't hang up on nobody, but you asked me for something that I don't have that I can't give you. If I had an old turntable of Technique 12-1s that I wasn't using...

Hey, man, just stop through here. Come through here. Pop out. They got a birthday party. 2.30. How many outfits you bring with you, Senator? Because you stay clean. I had to be very specific on this, but I think I brought about six outfits.

I only wore four of them so i got so i gave i go home with two outfits that i could just yeah finish the week out with on some like oh i'm still fresh six outfits for how many days though three days jesus christ yeah but you like you like you're appearing on tv and stuff so you don't really know like all right i wore that all day and then if i go out tonight i don't want people go like i saw you this morning. That was the night you got the same shirt on. Like, maybe, but you know what I mean? Gotcha.

I don't have to do it like... Girls really have to change a lot, you know what I mean? But, you know, guys, we're not really required to flip outfits that much, but nowadays it is a fashion world, right? Everybody kind of wants to show you what the drip is. They see you all the time. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. You got the flipping boxcars book out man and i love that you flexing different

creative muscles writing fiction novels yeah talk to us about flipping boxcars what made you want to write a fiction novel you know what you know i was you know really hearing stories about my grandfather but you know he had passed before i was even born so you know like we'll hear things about our relatives and then you start to get the lore of the family story, and that's what I did. Like, I started to, like, really fictionalize what his life was like. And so, you know, he was, these were real things, you know,

that I heard from my mother and my uncles that, you know, he was a businessman, you know, he was like, you know, the de facto mayor of the black side of town, this little small town. And then, you know, but at night he was a bootlegger and a gambler and a hustler, and he was always being creative. And so I just kind of put those two worlds together that showed him being like this loving father and husband.

And then he had to go and do what he had to do to make his dreams come true. So he gets caught up in a caper. It's like a crime caper where he's got to take this boot that liquor from a train so that's the boxcar trains and then he does the dice with the two sixes there's a boxcars too so that's why he flipping boxcars but that's the most important thing about the book right the dynamic because that is the black struggle in a lot of ways the fact that yeah i'm a family man and i'm trying to do all of this for my family but i gotta go out there and get it by any means necessary sometimes don't make me a bad person

that's right i mean we all you know especially black men we kind of always relegated to that i mean even when we think about the people like naked in the music business or whatever most of them have that other past where they was like street dudes but we never saw them as that way like we just appreciate that they great artists and and they did what they got to do. And so you think about post-World War II, pre-civil rights, you know, black man, that's what I love. The story is that he had traveled, he had been in the world, and then you come back to a pre-civil rights America. You just can't be put back in the same box. You know, once you left, you can't tell me I can't come through the front door, bro.

I've been living in France for six months. You know, I've the front door bro i've been living in france for six months you know i've been doing this we've been fighting in the war for the whole country you don't tell me i gotta go through the back like i don't you know so these kind of guys they had that wheel to want to want to be great without but being relegated to the racism of the time you know now did you write this during the pandemic because where do you have time and when do you have time to write a book? Yeah, yeah. That's when it got, that's when it started for sure.

It took like two years. We did that in, yeah, we started it in late 2019 and then, you know, went through all the drafts and then,

you know, then you time it out when you want to release it. What gave you the idea to do it? Because it's like between comedy at the time, writing,

acting, and everything that you were doing. When did you say, you know what, it's time for a book? Was it sitting at home doing nothing? It was like, yeah, I got something to do it because it's like between comedy at the time writing acting and everything that you were doing when did you say you know what it's time for book was it sitting at home doing nothing was like yeah i got i got something to do yeah you know the thing was is that you know like i've been developing tv shows for we've been producing a lot of shows my shows the johnson on bounce and so i was developing this as a tv idea when i first started and so you know when you started thinking about like then we had the opportunity to write a book and i was like oh that'd be so much more fun to have that long form

develop the characters out not to think about it in episodic ways where you gotta like end the episode and then take you to the next here i just introduce you to the characters let the world live and then hopefully people love it like even the way i ended this got like three cliffhangers so it's like you know you definitely want people to be like what happened to the story so you know i'm loving it i liken it to uh walter mosley there's you know the easy rollins characters the devil in the blue dress i love that world and that's what we you know i just kind of try to emulate that feel that's what it was when it comes to storytelling for you, what's the best way to tell a story? Stand-up, movies, TV, or writing a fictional novel? You know, I mean, this book was really a great experience.

I had never really, you know, done a fictional novel. And, I mean, the idea and what it took and the way it turned out, in my opinion, I, like, loved this book. I loved the process. I loved telling people, you know, about it. Even when I did the audio book, that's when I really recognized, like, damn, this book i love the process i love telling people you know about it even when i did the audio book that's when i really recognized like damn this book dope like i was because i had to you know hear it back for the first time myself and then uh last night over in newark these kids they took

an excerpt and and acted it out like on stage that also brought it to life that was something very unique like they made a stage play out of a excerpt about the book. So, you know, I think I want to do stuff like that as I'm promoting it to get people to understand what the book is really all about.

So, we ain't got great readers anymore. People love their audiobooks, you know, which is dope, I think. But I definitely want to encourage people to go and read this

and check it out. It's a cool adventure. It tells a great story. You follow it. Characters are rich. It's interesting. All right, we got more with Cedric the Entertainer. When we come back, don't move. It's a cool adventure. It tells a great story. You follow it. Characters are rich. It's interesting. All right, we got more with Cedric the Entertainer.

When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne the Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Cedric the Entertainer. His new book, Flippin' Box Cars, is out right now. Charlamagne? You say you don't gamble, right?

So was it a bad experience you had rolling dice back in the day? Oh, man. You know what? Most of the time, it's a bad experience. Most of the time, it's just like, hey, here you go. Here's some money. You get to play for a little bit. I had some great rolls.

You start playing with gamblers and you recognize, oh, I can't even keep up. You go in there and you, oh, I can't even keep up. Like, you know what I'm saying? You go in there, like, I can't play like that. But it was just one of these things that, for me, the odds and putting my money on something that felt like I'm just waiting on a whim. You know, I do that on the lottery tickets when it's a bean. That's it.

I'm going to do that $20 at a time. That's right. And if I hit a billion, then I'm good. But if I don't, then it's $20. But I'm not going to throw five grand on the craps table. That's not me, man. How many names did you have to change to protect the guilty in this book? Oh, man.

A lot. A lot. I definitely changed. I kept my grandfather and then pretty much and my grandmother's name. But then everybody else I kind of changed. You know, and especially like other relatives that you know in there I even like changed who they were because I have other relatives in here that are represented but that's not what their personalities were I just needed to change and get some texture and make

characters feel different but you know even the character that plays his brother-in-law in in real life they was they was two peas in a pod and so but i couldn't make they would have felt like the same person in the book so i made them something totally different nice family gonna be coming to you asking you for money like you wrote this about granddaddy yeah you know i mean it's one of these things that's funny it's funny that yeah but it is like it is a family thing luckily for me like my sister was rocking with me the whole time and she's funny that, yeah, but it is like, it is a family thing. Luckily for me, like my sister was rocking with me the whole time and she's like that protector of me. Like if anybody come for me, my sister gonna hold it down. She's like, nah, school back, you know?

So, but normally it says, you know, this was a creative process. This was something that me having an idea. It's not about the family per se. It's a story, but it was like, this was an opportunity that I had. And so I'll try to take care of people though. Like my uncle, we helped me like a lot and make sure that he gets, you know,

get some stuff off this book. My sister and people who like really helped me. I, you know, I, I think that that's a, you know, it's,

it's only fair to make sure that they get, you know, know that they love getting knowledge. And this is not just acknowledging the book, but you know, monetarily too. But you know, I how to say no because you've been getting money yeah no you've been doing well for a long time oh yeah i definitely know how to say no like i could say nah like nah i'll go past no no that's what is emphatic you like oh okay but let me nah you know but but but definitely you know like it is one of those things where, you know,

I used to have like a whole fund for the family. It was a very specific number. Every year you put it in there, that's what's over there. How much was it, if you don't mind telling me? 25 grand every year. But people can get it, you know, like they would, but they have to deal with my sister. So like you had to figure it out. Oh, that's smart.

But 25 grand, whatever it is, you can call it, you can qualify for it out but that's smart but but 25 grand whatever it is you can call there you can qualify for it and not all it was well i mean you know i ain't going for the nonsense like like you like i want to go to beyonce's head you know let me get like 900 dollars not getting it for that but you know you late you need school money you got this you got you got you gonna lose the house you know you can come in and get that money like some of it not all of not one person get all of it when did it stop i don't even remember man but i just one day i just wasn't good it was just hopeful he's like i ain't doing this no more yeah i was just like i'm good people heard one too many nods and they knew not to ask you no more well you know i think you know i think

it started getting to the point where people wanted the bigger, bigger checks. You know, some people just come in and literally felt like the whole 25 was theirs. You know, you get certain relatives that they closer to you

and they just come and they don't even want to be in the group no more. They like, you know, I got my own 25. You do that for them, but, you know,

pay for my house. Oh, they see you growing. They be like, I see you on TV. Yeah, boy. Let's gob yeah boy let me hold something yeah you see them you see them new trucks right yeah i did yeah man the senate yeah wait for you to offer them that's Yeah. They ain't even that much. They ain't even that much. But nah, but nah.

Let's listen. How about my co-worker ate my food?

And I'm four months pregnant. I'm like, you big, fat, thick-necked helper. Why you eat my food? I'm so pissed off. Did you just say little backup dancer? What did she say? I didn't hear. Did you just say big, fat, little backup dancer?

Some pig feet? Okay. Yeah. My daddy got some big pig feet in the refrigerator right now. Right now. Yeah, but then I had like some fruit on the side for publish. You can't have fruit on the side of

Pimp Feet. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Has this ever happened to you? I have literally never had this problem, but I think it's

because I like food that people don't eat. I like Brussels sprouts and asparagus. Healthy stuff. Deesha, when you work at Black Radio Station, just eat

healthy. Nobody will touch your food. Facts. Complete facts. My food stays work at Black Radio Station, just eat healthy. Nobody will touch your food. Facts. Complete facts. My food stays in there. All my fruit be in there. I've left yogurt at the radio station for a month and forgot it was there.

Still there. Really? Nobody touches my food. So, I mean, really just eat healthy and you'll be fine. Yeah, I've never had this problem because I don't ever bring my food to work. Like, I would never do anything like that just simply because I don't trust people like that I don't trust nobody to have uh you know some food in a tupperware sitting in the refrigerator somewhere I just think people are nasty you know I mean people might put boogers in your food I don't know I just that's just the

way my mind works so I don't ever do stuff like that later you know I drink my my waters up in my sparkling waters they take out alcohol up here before all the time oh yeah they definitely take alcohol yeah they definitely take alcohol alcohol. Yeah, they definitely take our alcohol. That's why we started putting ink in the bottle sometimes. You know what was crazy?

Remember that time we had a fake bottle of Hennessy, right? It was like a mock bottle that somebody bought up here just for display. They drank that. Yeah, and first of all,

it wasn't supposed to be open, so they damn near had to carve it open to get it open. It's not even supposed to open. That's when I knew Negroes was different. That's when I knew you can't keep a Negro from drinking cognac if they want to drink cognac.

And they drink at least half the bottle. Half the bottle, yeah. So I'm like, at what point did y'all realize this wasn't real? They said it's weak. Let me just keep drinking. It's no heavies. Let's go to the phone line. Let me see what we got on the line.

I drunk that Pepsi and everything's all good. So City drank his co-worker's food and they they've been asking, and Citi's been lying the whole time. I mean, allegedly.

Allegedly. I'm not going to lie, man. People that do stuff like that, I'd be hoping they'd get sick. I'd be hoping somebody put something in there. Listen, listen, listen. Okay.

And I work at the hospital. I work a long hour. See, but you're not that lazy because you wait 48 hours before you eat it. So you put yourself on a time limit to wait to make sure you have enough time to go by before you eat their food. You could have just went and got food in 48 hours. You didn't starve for two days. No. Why you eat people's food?

I'm a snack. And I don't eat everybody's food because you can't eat everybody. I'm not going to lie. If somebody ate my food, I would set you up the second time. I'd put some kind of diarrhea thing in there, and you would be itching all day long. Well, then we'd fight. Because why would you do that? Why would you eat people's food?

That ain't yours. They need to do a first 48 movie about you, okay? And how you just greedy in the first 48 hours. Your greedy ass couldn't avoid somebody else's hamburger you should be ashamed of yourself goodbye ashley how you gonna be mad at me because i poisoned my food because you keep eating it without permission that's my whole thing you know it's not yours when you open that refrigerator you know it's not yours and if somebody's bringing food to work they probably either on a dietary routine are they trying to save money so when you do that

to that person you're taking money out that person's pocket you're messing up that person's routine you deserve whatever you get for that man and i don't know why you play with people food that's one thing i ain't playing with you don't know how that cool that that food is cooked you don't know how it's prepared you don't know nothing about that food you don't know how long it's been there it might be old and stale i ain't messing with people's food that's right just like in my fridge we got a strict rule like you don't eat people's food in the crib. Like,

don't eat people's food. And I'll tell you something else, man. Especially after Christmas and Thanksgiving. As a person who, you know, I do believe in, you know,

roots and voodoo and black magic. Yep. Somebody might put a whammy on somebody else's food. That's right. And your dumb ass going in there

thinking you being slick eating it. Now, look, coughing up a frog that wasn't even meant for you. Shut up, man. But if it's in there for you being slick eating it. Now, look, coughing up a frog. That wasn't even meant for you. Shut up, man. But if it's in there for two weeks, do they really want it?

I don't know. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God, Jess Hilarious. We are The Breakfast Club, and we got a special guest in the building. The icon living.

His album is out today the love album Oh, yes, ladies and gentlemen, Diddy Feeling beautiful feeling like extremely blessed especially today Alms coming out being able to just make music man for 30 years 30 years 30 years of bad boy so it's like I feel it's just just very blessed and filled with the spirit so good morning to all God bless your morning let me tell you something man I f*** with the album thank you thank you very much it's very very very very proper I was telling them that before they walked in what What made you jump back into music?

With everything amazing from Revolt to the liquor to everything, what says, I want to get back on the road, back to touring, back to making music? What put you back into that, my friend? The thing that got me into it, which was the love. When I started making music, I didn't make music, okay, like this is a hustle to make money. I did what I felt, you know, and I did just what I loved. I say to people now, it's not about streams to me. I don't want streams.

I want souls. I want to give you that feeling that's missing. There is a feeling missing. We are in a dark frequency. I'm blessed to be able to purposely try to push my life up into a dark frequency I'm blessed to be able to purposely I try to push my life up into a higher frequency I could walk in the room and let us all be down or I could I could push us up you know I'm saying whatever it is or if you want to frown at me I could give you a smile and a hug you know I'm saying and so it's

like you know that to be able to have the power that's your music all of my records I kind of make you feel good people say like when i see your records it makes me want to do the dance with my shoulders but it makes you smile too you know what i'm saying and that that right there was the purpose and so for me returning back to music was more a self-love decision you get it to a point in your life where where um you have to decide like okay what what do i want to do that makes me happy and what really makes me happy is my art making music so stepping away from music for 17 years it didn't make you nervous a little bit we got all these new artists and all that

stuff yeah i'm not gonna lie i don't really get nervous i live in a real fearless zone you know i'm stepping back into it i'm real confident on, like, me being a producer. I don't make beats, you know what I'm saying? Like, I produce, you know what I'm saying? But the crazy part about it is I don't play any instruments. I don't program. The sounds that I hear in my head, I know how to really explain what's the frequency that I want. So me getting back into it, I felt like Jordan getting back into basketball as far as making R&B, as far as like making hip hop soul and the all the different, you know, the sounds that I have.

So when I came back into it, I came back into it really, really excited because I knew I was ready to step back into what they call a full, full circle so i went back into like puffy the producer just like the first time you may have had two turntables or the first time you learned your first dance or whatever you told your first joke you know what i'm saying it returned me back to that like ah and so my first record i produced was come and talk to me by jodeci the remix and and so when i started making these records it was feeling like that i had to return like back to the basement, the basement producing. It was just me in there and just, I'm an orchestrator. So I hear all sounds. I hear all sounds from the vocal, how the vocals should be presented.

It's like being a director of a movie. You know what I'm saying? I may not be in there actually doing the scene, but I'm directing the movie. And I have a special talent as far as directing sonics and the way something is is it's almost like even Quincy Jones Quincy Jones is more of an orchestrator all of the live musicians and everything he did he didn't go and play every instrument that was the drum machine at that point Barry Gordy was an orchestrator so I come from more of a producer um experience like that so when I'm in there with a Mary J Blige I'm in there with a weekend I have something to say I'm not just watching them do a thing i'm not sending it over whatever i'm in the

studio actually creating and molding and shaping the sonic sound so and so my thing has always been collaboration but my sound no matter what producers i work with my sound sounds like my sound. When you hear it, it sounds exactly like my sound. But I've just been a little bit more open about no one man can do everything. Every last producer has had a team. You know, Motown had the Funk Brothers. I've had the Hitmen. And so a lot of times people don't, you know, don't believe that I can actually be good at this many things. That's why I have the receipts.

I've been filming myself since I was 19 years old. You see me in the studio producing with people. And, you know, I don't have nothing to prove to anybody that says anything. But the feeling that I've given you for over 30 years, giving your mama this feeling, and I've given it to you and it feels good take that yeah i was gonna ask how much influence does your son have on you and the reason i asked that i seen him at the um bt awards and i was asking him about is it a competition at first he said no and then he said no no this is a competition i want to make records better than my dad and my dad's trying to make records better than me so i said well how does

that work with picking beats and he was like i have to grab the beats before my dad so is it a competition and how much influence does your son have on you making records now i i let i don't really let anybody influence me on on on making a record i'm definitely not in a competition with my son you know but it's a blessing to actually be, like, the first father-son duo. You know what I'm saying? Like, and we take pride in that. You know what I'm saying? We all of you.

Don't act like JoJo ain't used to rap. The first to have a number one record. There you go. Talk that to him. That's how you clear it up. The first, and there's no disrespect to nobody. We just saying respectfully To all the other father son teams

That me and my son we won the championship We had number one records together And that's all It's just proud dad It's not saying nothing It's just when we have the narrative Sometimes y'all be forgetting about the Diddy history You know what I'm saying

Sometimes we forget who invented certain things. Now, I'm not going to be defensive. I'm just going to state facts. Okay. P and Romeo, too. Gotta throw them out there. The first to have a number one together.

It's very hard to have a kid and have that kid have success. That kid has to fight through so much stuff. And those kids have to fight through a lot of different things. They got to fight through their father's legacy. We're not talking about the first. We're talking about the father-son team to play together and win a championship.

And that's me and King Combs. I take a lot of pride in that and then speaking of King Combs would you ever give the blessing for him to do your biopic ooh cuz I that's that's the biopic I wouldn't want to be in for one but I wanted to see that yeah I mean I mean he's me I know that he'd be able to do it you know saying I definitely give him you give give him my blessing because I mean he'd be able to do it. You know saying I definitely give him you give him my blessing because I mean He'd be biopicking me now I'm on stage the other night and you gotta understand how like much of a blessing this is y'all

Like like I like like I know y'all as on-air personalities I'm just telling you like as human beings to be able to see how you love your kids You know saying i know everybody loves their family but to be on stage with them and be looking at them from what he wanted to be at four years old and really like doing stuff and then the other night with my girls like this is like it's a blessing to see him keep fighting every day because as a combs we gotta fight through a lot of hate it's just yeah it's, it's all right. We can handle it. The wave. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whom is given, you know, much is expected, and we respect that. But it's all right for y'all to start loving me. Okay? And you still got your headline. It's about time. Yes, yes. Oh, my God. My teeth, everything is... Your back teeth were...

You know what I'm saying? Everything is fresh. I could... I swear I'm stronger. I'm like... I don't know. It's beyond Benjamin Button. We like an IP man or something. Literally. All right, we got more with diddy when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy jess

hilarious we are the breakfast club we're still here with diddy charlamagne why didn't you why didn't you have any former bad boy artists perform on stage with you at the vmas for such a iconic moment it was it was more like i wanted to i did the medley so much with everybody we had so many different iconic moments that was me as an artist you know a lot of people forget how many number one records i have in as an artist it was just really like i wanted to give people something different i didn't give them keisha cole really i wanted to give them the present me and young i had wanted um me and mace to do something but the schedule that didn't that didn't like work out and it was just like uh that's that's all that was i just wanted to have

like something that was different so i thought me and mace would have been different you know i'm saying so every time i come out i'm trying to to give y'all something different in an award show performance. Because to be honest, I do a lot of award shows the way God wanted it to work out. Me doing more money with my son was the greatest gift, too, that I could have ever, ever experienced. But I'm always going to be performing with the bad boy artists and doing things with them as I always have. And they're always a phone call away and also also i just want also wanted people also to understand like you know that you know i got a good 45 minutes straight of bangers just by myself on stage you know i'm saying like like i go um yeah nobody should be afraid because it's all love but you know i'm saying um it's it's a lot of hits you

know i'm saying so i did want to say that because i'm about to jump out here on tour and stuff like that and you can come see me and have a great time if i'm just by myself too you mentioned all the artists you mentioned mace and recently you said that you were giving the artists back their publisher yeah what made you decide to do that and did you speak to every artist when you did it or how did how did that happen how did that work break did you speak to every artist when you did it? Or how did that happen? How did that work? Break that down. Yeah. When I had went and called out the Grammys, I also had to make sure that I had also looked from within.

Once you start asking for change in this world, you have to look within and be a part of that change. So this actually was done two years ago and it was it was more of me evolving as a businessman you know a person that that really wants change in the world and in progress most importantly because you can have change but not progress and it was the right thing to do yeah you know i'm saying it was that it was the right thing to do and it's the frequency that i'm in it's the love frequency if it wasn't for like these people that have helped me with all of these records, everybody, if there's anything, you know, just just doing the right thing. That's just the frequency that I'm in. I think the frequency we should all be in. Yeah. If you have a chance to do the right thing, why wouldn't you do the right thing?

You know what I'm saying? And that's a world that I want to live in. And so, you know, saying I want to be that change that's the world that I want to live in and so you know what I'm saying I want to be that change that I want that I want the giving back the publishing fix any uh damaged relationships that you might have had I wasn't there's so many misconceptions that people think they know what's going on I never I didn't have no problems with people I'm Mace yeah yeah yeah major with me and Mace and me and Mace we brothers and me i got unconditional love for me so me and mace uh i don't know if me and mace have stopped arguing now or something like that but i'm gonna still love mace i give him thanks for like really helping to really launch my career as an artist and you know was there with me from the beginning and stuff like that even though if i didn't agree

with mace he was a catalyst for me to look from within. You know what I'm saying? And so sometimes somebody that you may not agree with or something you don't think is good, God uses like certain situations. Even if something's like, yo, where did that come from? That's from left field. You know what I'm saying? And so I just get into right now what God telling me to do. So there's a clarity. So it's really at a point you get to a point in your life, especially me as a successful where you pick purpose over profit and that's kind of the season that i'm in to really really be a part of this radical change you know i'm saying i like this diddy do

you really turn down a nine-figure deal for the publisher um yeah it was it was i wouldn't say turned it down as i said you know i'm saying it really wasn't an option you know i'm saying as far as because it was just at the time that i was getting it i was just i wasn't really even wanting to sell nothing but i was just like man these people are getting people getting a lot of money out here and i was like you know if any time this is a time that um that you know because of people were offering so much money for catalogs, it was a time where I just went in. You shopped a little bit? No, no.

It wasn't shopped. It was people were calling us. So it was something that you definitely consider. Chain of Events just had me. Really was just like, man, I need to just call all the artists they need and all the writers. This is the time. Andre Harrell was telling me don't just talk love, be love.

He's like, this is the time just to do and listen to what God is telling you to do and that's it. So now we're cracking open up. We need to talk about the album. You know what today is? Today is Diddy Day. Diddy Day.

Today is Diddy Day self-pro? Today is Diddy Day. Diddy Day. Diddy Day. Today is Diddy Day. Self-proclaimed Diddy. Let me hear that, bro. Diddy Day. 101th episode. Cheers to love. Cheers. Cheers to love.

Yeah, man. And speaking of love, my favorite song is What's Love? I do like that and Deliver Me. It's number two and three, just in case you forgot. Yeah, that Dirty Money, we back. Yeah. In effect, making some beautiful train music, as I call it. What made you go back to that? What made you want to reconnect with Dirty Money, we back, in effect, making some beautiful train music, as I call it. What made you go back to that?

What made you want to reconnect with Dirty Money? This honestly was a record that it's J Dilla. I got a chance. Busta brought me this J Dilla joint. I was like, yeah, I'll get a chance, even though J Dilla's not here, to actually produce a record with J Dilla. So then I put the music on top of a J Dilla beat. And Dirty Money, we were doing it. And at first, we were doing it, and Busta was like, let me get that joint. do produce a record with j dilla so then i put the music on top of a j dilla beat and dirty money we

were doing it and at first we were doing it bust was like let me get that joint and i was like um he never used it then when i was putting this project together there's certain songs that i did a long time ago and then you know i asked girls if they wanted to be a part of it and they was like yeah um just like that's a record called deliver me and buses on that and dirty monies on that and that's our first record in 13 years and and then i would say one of me i did eight years ago another one of me yeah another weekend another one of me eight years ago i did that record by the way the weekend record with 21 in in french yeah i can say that's his last collaboration yeah yeah or something yeah that's the weekend so this is his last um feature and um you know i think we we you know we we we

love the weekend on his features the weekend always does a dope feature so yeah i i i'm definitely on it you know i'm saying i you know i really love him as an artist everybody on this album it's like i'm i'm fans it is you know i'm saying i'm like? You know, I really love him as an artist. Everybody on this album, it's like I'm fans of theirs. You know what I'm saying? I'm like really fans of theirs and really love their voices. Like when I made the album, it wasn't, okay, let me get this person because they have these type of streams. It was like I wanted to tell my love story. You know, I wanted to be able to utilize these voices to translate my feelings.

You know what I'm saying? I purposely was on there where you could get your stroke onto it. This is for the strokers. You know what I'm saying? A lot of cats, they like the rabbit style. You know what I'm saying? This is for the strokers. You know what I'm saying?

Cats that like to really make love to your woman. Your woman like to make love to you, look deep in her eyes, and it's the stroke. How long should the stroke last? Should he count it by the seconds or you just nah nah it's more of a rhythm thing you know i'm saying it's more of a feeling though you know i'm saying but it's just not like ah let me just you know i'm saying you could you could throw that in there as as like a song tempo change but it's like it's not like you know i'm saying you can do that like like but if that's your only go-to you know i'm saying that that's not the frequency of love that we talking about this is that r&b this is that

so take your time beg your girl to come back you know how you lay it down i got three records that have stay in it you know i'm saying because because that's my life I'm always like oh man baby can you just stay don't leave me so it's just like the way you make love when you're trying to get your girl to stay it's different you know saying so it's like you know it's an off the grid experience go off the grid with your girl bring the album your girl your man whatever you're into nobody's judging right just go off the grid. How you doing? How you feeling?

Get into their brain, their soul, their mind. And this is the music that you can have in the background. You know what I'm saying? All right, we got more with Diddy when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, we are The Breakfast Club.

DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God, Jess Hilarious. We're still kicking it with Diddy. One time you were thinking about buying, purchasing BET. Got revoked. So why was BET? Yeah. We're still kicking it with Diddy. Yeah, one time you were thinking about buying, purchasing BET. Mm-hmm. Got revoked, so why was BET? Yeah, you know, I really wanted to look at it. I mean, there's no way to go unless you really kind of, you know, go into acquisitions. You know what I'm saying?

So right now, I'm really looking heavy on acquisitions and really building the world's biggest black media company. You know what I'm saying? I'm on my second mountain i i really feel like i'm just beginning in my career i feel like my my purpose is is is sharpened you know and and i've gone from me to we so it's like you know the things that i'm looking at are really really big moves you know i i want to really take over disney you feel me i want us because i know there's going to be a shift i know there's going to be a change i know the aliens coming i know that you know the last shall be first the first shall be last i'm not going to be sitting here surprised

i'm gonna be ready you know i'm saying as far as is how big and how bold my thinking is and so you know um looking at where i have revolt um and and where revolt is that now is like one of the most profitable networks that are that are out there. We was able to pass, you know, as far as our digital footprint, you know, past complex. That was a big thing for us when we started. We didn't really own our own culture. And so now revolt has really stepped into that, you know, to that position. So I was looking at BET. And after when you're looking at buying a company, you've got to do your due diligence to see if it fits your strategy. And so even before they decided not to sell it, it didn't make sense to me. So I basically had told them before that.

But I didn't make an announcement about it because it really wasn't about that. So speaking of Revolt being a place where you can go and. This is our 10th anniversary of revolt y'all 10th anniversary revolt we are proud to say and we want to thank y'all officially the breakfast club y'all helped to put us on the map you know i'm saying y'all helped to get us in the game we did some great things together and we're still family and you're the first to believe in us yes yes and Yes, yes. And Andre, that was Andre's whole vision? How many years? No, that was my vision.

I saw y'all and I was like, I know that these stars, they got something that's going to break the internet. Yeah, yeah, I saw y'all. That was me. That was like five years ago. No, that was me. I remember when Diddy was trying to make it all nice

and Diddy was like, I want that camera, I want that view, I want it to be gritty. Yeah, see, see. I remember Andre being involved, too, though. See that? That's the thing with Diddy

is that y'all be trying to burn his receipts. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. But you hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Everybody chill. So Diddy actually wrote The Breakfast Club, they first check. Oh. Yeah, yeah. The first one to believe in them and take

them oh yeah oh yeah we talking about ancillary and come yeah you talk on your ancillary income let me get my receipts man check wasn't all that it was The opportunity was bigger than the check. It was something. It was a stepping stone. It was a stepping stone in your glorious career. Don't skip over it because I'm a black man. I'm a stand up for mine. Nobody else was running that.

I wasn't here when you read the check. So you're going to write another one? Let's get back to the music. Yeah, let's get back to the music. How, let's get back to the music. How difficult was it to make the Kim Porter record? It was extremely easy to make the Kim Porter record. My desire for wanting to be in her presence somehow is a constant thing that I yearn for. And so when I made that record, I really believe in the power of music And so I felt like if I made that record for her that

With the intentions of her coming to visit me in my dreams. I have the best of both worlds I know I can't have her in the physical But to be able to just be able to like like that's my dog like that's my friend I wasn't just like my baby mama my girlfriend. It was just like the only person that I listened to you know saying it was like my navigation and then like my navigation Is off and I I gotta like try to find a map is that's how crazy Like you know, you know it was and so I was just like I really know how powerful my music is And so, you know, I told babyface the story and then I told John Legend, like, this is why I don't want to make the record for streams. The record is like, you know, it's a real expression of love, a real love letter to Kim.

And, you know, I'm saying it's really how my love feels. And so it was beautiful to be able to do that. And she has come and visited me in my dreams. After you made that record? Yeah, after I made that record. On the record, in the middle, you say, you know you know kim i know you can hear me yeah yeah what what was that in the dream if you don't mind us that no we're just talking in the joint in the dream there's a couple of times just just just yeah yeah just just just what we do it wasn't nothing

but i was saying i know you can hear me because i'm sending the message to i'm sending that i'm sending that frequency to her Cuz I believe like there's a whole nother dimension and I don't think you like look back You know saying but I just needed her to just just to stay to stay and come visit me and you are featured on That record is babyface and John legend was it too hard to come up with a verse Like you didn't like anything people were giving you or you just didn't like no words could really express what you wanted to express I just was just doing what felt right for the stroke you know what i'm saying you know like um you know if you guys come on man why would you do that right yeah because when you're because i don't know where your mind is at when i'm thinking about sure i'm

thinking about my woman i don't know i can't get into none of this homophobic stuff y'all got going on, B. I don't know. I'm just like, yo. I don't know. Y'all can play that game. I'm just me. I'm just singing. When I'm thinking about that, I'm telling you how I'm making the music.

You know what I'm saying? I'm a Scorpio, King. I'm a Scorpio. That's my thing. My thing is my stroke, baby. And that's my music. That's the vibe my music gives. But you to stroke your woman. Don't think about my stroke. Think and that's my music. That's the vibe my music is but you to stroke your woman

They don't like don't think about my stroke. Think about your show I'm confused be comfortable with Comfortable that's the problem i'm very comfortable now hold on one thing also in the record in the hook you keep saying uh seven days six nights yeah what's the significance of that um very good question um so you know before the internet if your girl and if your girl like wanted to disappear on you, she was mad. You just go black. You be calling her mom's crib like, hey, hey, Miss Porter, you know where Kim is at? Honey, I don't know.

I don't know what y'all doing. Don't put me in the middle. You be calling every place you be outside. That's when stalking start. You know what I'm saying? You be outside in the car like where she at. She definitely not there. She at a girlfriend's's house you don't even know this girlfriend they and they on the run they on the land you won't go all over the place it'd be six days seven nights

i would be waiting just to hear the sound of her voice just to pick up that phone hello oh yeah hello so that's where the six days and seven nights waiting for a sound like she was a very very like stubborn staying strong person it's like like when she would just disappear it was like you you don't know if it would be forever you feel me now this was extension of last night kind of thing yeah last night it's a bunch of records i need a a girl part two. Wow. Do you regret not marrying her? No, I don't have any regrets. You know what I'm saying? Like, as I said, our relationship was bigger than just, okay, this is a relationship.

I got you married. You my girl. You my baby mama. This, that. You know what I'm saying? It's like the connection of being. You know what I'm saying? And it really taught me, you know, how to love.

And that's the way I love right now. So that's why I don't put different things in like categories like that because i feel like you know the people that's going really mad in your life i don't know if it's going to be your wife because that's the title you put on it you know i'm saying i don't know if that's going to be your best experience if that's you know i'm saying all right well diddy's album is out today let's get into another joint it's the breakfast club let's go wake up good morning we're still kicking it with diddy that was a joint office album that's out right now it's dj mv charlamagne jess hilarious still kicking it with diddy my brother my brother love just love it's just love everybody it's just love it's not brother love it's not a 1970s new name it's a

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey today, please tell me. Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day.

The Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yes, donkey of the day goes to a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania woman named Linda Johnson. Linda Johnson is a former general manager at the greatest fast food restaurant in regards to providing comfort. And that is Wendy's. OK, Wendy's is the greatest of all time when it comes to providing comfort. I'm not here to argue with y'all about none of this McDonald's Chick-fil-A. All those places are cool. But when it comes to providing fantastic comfort food, nothing is better than Wendy's.

OK, this is not a commercial. I'm not being paid to say this. I just have very fond memories of Wendy's because when I used to drive my grandma in the town back in the day in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, that's what she used to like to do. Stop at Wendy's and she wanted her fries and she wanted them hot. OK, and Wendy's to this day still provides me that sense of comfort. Now, Linda is facing a felony charge of theft by deception oh she is the number one scammer okay i can't lie to y'all i love hearing about a creative scam there is a reason they call people scam artists because a scam artist knows how to paint a pretty picture they have to be creative artists in order to get you to do what it is they want you to do

and linda has painted a pretty picture she actually did one of the most creative scams I've seen in a long time. Would you like to know what Linda has done? Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. Former general manager out of Wendy's in Leicester County was found stealing from the store, according to an audit. Linda Johnson allegedly checked in and out as a fake employee for over a year from July 2021 to April 2022. Officials say that the theft amounted to almost $20,000.

Documents from the investigation say that Johnson admitted to creating the fake employee and that the paychecks went to her cash out. Linda Johnson created a fake employee, clocked in and out as a ghost employee, and had the paychecks go to her bank account, and that's she's getting donkey of the day today why would you have these checks go to your account you don't have a cousin a friend you couldn't open up an llc i'm not encouraging you to do the crime at all but if you're going to do the crime i mean damn if you're going to scam the key to scamming is not getting caught okay the key to scamming is to not have a paper or digital trail that leads right to you now let me tell you my favorite part of this story okay i was reading this uh when other managers were questioned about the worker okay the ghost worker police said some could not remember

working with them while one manager reported that they met him once can we stop right here and play a game of guess what race it is now we're not playing a game but guess what race it is for linda johnson okay i don't care what race she is i don't even know what race she is but i want to know what race do y'all think this person was who just lied about meeting an employee who never existed he said he met him one time. Let me repeat the story. Linda Johnson, general manager on Wendy's, created a ghost employee, an employee that never existed.

She got about 20 grand sent to her bank account. When other managers were questioned about the fake worker, they said they could not remember working with them while one manager, just one, volunteered a lie and reported that they met this person that didn't exist once. Willie D, guess what race it is. Oh, man, that's hard. That sounds like it could be anybody, but it could be any race. But just say it, Willie.

I know it's on the tip of your tongue i know you don't want to do it but you know i'm just gonna say white just because i blame everything envy linda johnson created a fake worker at wendy's and collected 20 grand when other managers were questioned about the fake worker they said they could not remember working with them while one volunteer lied and reported that they met this person that didn't exist once. Envy, guess what race it is. I know you want to say what Willie wanted to say, but Willie didn't want to say it. We don't know the name of the person.

Say it. Asian. No, it's the black man looking out for the black sister you know what i'm saying see yeah see i get why will he feel that way though because when you think about all the times white people have made up mysterious black figures to pin crimes on okay and in light of carly russell lying about seeing that baby on the side of the highway you know i can understand why even we would even think it was black i don't know what race this person is, but I feel like this was one of us.

Okay? Because why do we like to lie for no damn reason at all? We tell each other we're five minutes away when we haven't even gotten in the shower yet. Facts. We pick up the phone and tell each other we're going to call you right back knowing damn well you're not going to call back until you remember a week later.

Facts. We tell each other, hey man, we need to connect. Let's go do lunch or something. Knowing damn well we have no plans to do none of that. Why? Do you know I do this to people on purpose? I do this in conversation. Sometimes I just be talking, right?

I just want to see how full of caca somebody is, right? So I'll be talking. I'll be like, you know Ricky, right? Knowing damn well Ricky don't exist. And we be quick to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know Ricky. I know Ricky. I was just with him last week. You don't know goddamn Ricky. You know damn well you never met this person once because this

person doesn't exist but for whatever reason you just decided to tell the powers that be at wendy's you met this person once you putting yourself into a situation making yourself a witness to something that linda already admitted the police she did she said during a video call in april that she created the employee and had the paycheck set up to go to her Cash App account. If it was me, not only would I fire Linda, I would fire this co-worker who decided to lie for no damn reason. You're not welcome here.

You can't be trusted. Because I was always taught, if you lie, you will steal. And the fine folks at Wendy's ain't got no time for no more thieves. Please give Linda Johnson the sweet sounds and the fine folks at Wendy's ain't got no time for no more thieves please give Linda Johnson the sweet sounds and the hammer tones oh now you are the donkey of the day you are the donkey of the day we really like the live from the recent. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy, Jess Hilarious. We are The Breakfast Club, and we got a special guest in the building. That's right. Cardi B. Cardi B. Big body. Welcome.

Like, bubble guts? Like, bubble guts. Like, bubble guts. Nothing want to come out. Anything. Like, I'm, like, stressed. Like, because I, what time is it? I hope by at least by 12 o'clock something come out, and I'm like, all right, like, relieved.

So what do you do at noon if you got a poop in you out in public, buddy? You can't just pull up in a McDonald's or nothing? Yes, but who the, why wouldn't I? I stay with wet wipes. Jesus Christ. I stay with wet wipes and hand sanitizer. Like, I'm a mom, so you have to have that. Yes, that's true.

Because your kids want to shit. Yes. Anytime. Right. Uninspected. So, I'm a mom, so you have to have that. Yes, that's true. Because your kids want to shit. Yes. Anytime. Right. Uninspected. So, and also me. Like, damn. It might not be the food, though, Cardi.

I don't know what it is. Maybe it could be number three. Yeah, there definitely ain't no number three there, man. It could be number three. After I go on tour, I definitely want to have a baby. Have another one? Yeah, I want to have a baby. Have another one? Yeah, I want to have another one. How many kids do you want?

Like at least four. Four? What do you think will come out first, the s*** or your second album? They're going to start like that. Jesus Christ. Wow. Jesus Christ. My second album is going to come out.

I have to. I have to. I have to. When is the question where people want? This year? Next year. Next year. Early next year. Can we congratulate Cardi on her single? She got a single that's out today. Can? This year? Next year. Next year. Early next year.

Can we congratulate Cardi on her single? She got a single that's out today. Can we congratulate her? Bungles. Bungles. Featuring Megan This Time.

Love it. What inspired Bungles? Well, always the beat. You know what I'm saying? Like, at first, it's always like, you hear the beat and it's like,

oh, I like this beat. Like, I really like this beat. It's funk, but it kind of reminds me of Dembow. Definitely Dembow. It reminds me of Dembow, but it's really funk. Like, technically, it's funk but it kind of reminds me of dembow definitely it reminds me of dembow but it's really funk like technically it's funk so um what is dembow you know the dominican uptown dominican music you know oh gotcha gotcha like you know i'll find

i'll take you you you be outside you be outside you don't be outside you don't be outside i'll be in the house i more. You don't be outside. Not no more. You don't be outside. I'll be in the house. I got to take you outside. But that's a style of music. Yeah, it's a style of music. It's a Dominican style of music. But like technically really is funk.

But I just love the beat. I start working on the song. But there's like a lot of empty spaces. There's a lot of empty spaces. I try to fill the empty spaces. Like, you know, like just me rapping and rapping and rapping and rapping. And it just felt like a long ass song. a lot of empty spaces there's a lot of empty spaces i try to fill the empty spaces like you know like just me rapping and rapping and rapping and rapping and it just felt like a long ass song like they just needed dynamic so me and my team like my team wanted to go like more like latin

artists and i was like i hear megan yeah i hear megan i hear megan on it they're like really you don't see like you see this like like more latin i'm like right no i You don't see this more Latin? I'm like, no, I see Megan. And then exactly what I was hearing in my head, I sent her the song. Exactly what I was envisioning in my head, when I got her verse back, it was like, you see? This is what I was envisioning. And it just made sense.

Were you scared to team up with Megan again? Because WAP was such a massive record. Oh, yeah, of course. That's why I haven't like i definitely but i feel like this was like good and um like when she sent the the the her verse i was like oh i feel like this is a super like i feel like this is a good like wap contender you feel like too much pressure everybody asking you to do your second album you put out these these verses and you're killing these verses. You're lighting these verses up. But everybody keeps saying, I love it, but where's the album?

I love it, but where's the album? Don't you put too much pressure on yourself? I do put a lot of pressure on myself. I really, really do. Let me tell you something. I just feel like I don't like nothing. I feel like I listen to 40 beats. Is it because everything sounds the same?

I don't know if it's because everything sounds the same it because everything sound the same i don't know because everything sound the same or every like it's like sometimes everything sound the same and then like when it's too different it's like i just too different for me like that is just too different so i don't know what i'll be looking for yeah what i'll be looking for i don't know what it is yeah but like once like i something catch my eye and i really like no not my eyes my sound my ears right but even like I like it like that they said you didn't love it love it and that became one of the biggest records ever yeah I mean I do take risks

like I do take risks I don't know it's just like a lot of pressure on the b**** but I feel confident I have a lot of songs y'all could come by anytime y'all could hear some cause and that's another thing too like I'm a Libra I be feeling like I need like everybody like a opinion like what you think what you think what you think and that kind of be driving me crazy too but like i don't know why i've been i've been eating it though

so is it fun is it still fun when i find like something that i like when it's something that i like it's fun but then but then sometimes even when i like something and like people don't like it it doesn't become fun like it's damn, I was really vibing with this. And it's like, yeah, I don't like it now. Now it's not fun. Now I'm mad. So. But people don't like every, it's like they're going to find something wrong with whatever.

So it don't matter. But it just got to make sense to you. Let me ask you this. Is it pressure because it's so many more women now, like, dropping here and all the time? Like, but is that pressure? It being so many women in rap no not really i'm so used to like working with like a lot of women like i never like been like in the environment that's like yeah i'm kind of like the only one so and now i always knew this

i always knew this i always knew that after me there was gonna be more girls yeah i know it was gonna i wasn't gonna i know it wasn't gonna like just end with me because it's like if i made it i know there's gonna be more because that's gonna make it and like the internet and everything like it's like i this this i already already i already saw this like i saw this like back in like i don't know like 2017 i saw this but you do but you're also doing something that a lot of people didn't do when you were coming up you'll find the hot new person or a young artist

and you'll give them the opportunity and give them a verse which a lot of people didn't do and I was gonna ask that was something that Jay and Drake

did great I think I say Cardi did that for female rock yeah absolutely I was gonna ask does the competition fuel you

and it can be friendly competition I mean every time you get on a verse or you get on a record with somebody is that the way you think like oh I gotta eat her you know. I mean, every time you get on a verse or you get on a record with somebody, is that the way you think? Like, oh, I got to eat her.

You know what I mean? Pause. God damn. I don't really feel like I got to eat. I don't really feel like I got to eat. Like, all right, for example, if I have a song, right, and then you send me your verse

and you rap me your ass off, I'm still not changing my verse. I'm not changing it because I feel like this is what I'm going not changing my verse. I'm not changing it because I feel like they're like, this is what I'm going for. This is what I'm thinking. However,

I don't want to like also never like ruin nobody else like song or anything. But people do it all the time. We've heard, you know, I think Nas said

he changed the verse when he got a verse back and you hear it all the time. So you never said, nah, I got it. Which one's your favorite? Who's playing with you? Who's been your favorite

female rapper to collaborate with? I really like them all. I really, collaborate with? I really like them all. I really like them all. And every song that I got on, I got on it because I just really, really, really, really like that song. I love the song. And it's like, I feel like I can hear myself on it. There's a lot of songs.

I get songs sent to me all the time. But I feel like it's like some songs, I just feel like I can't do nothing for the song. Like, it's, like, I don't feel like I could do, like, a verse that, like, I'm, like, confident in. So, it's just, like, and I just be, like, no. And it's, like, I feel like the song is great. So, I don't even want to, like, ruin it. You just said drill, ain't you? Style.

What's that one song and i told you oh my god that song is so crazy i i heard yeah that song is so crazy i was like and that's my that's my style that's my tempo because some tempos like i just cannot keep up like right like it's like you know like when i first heard munch and everything yeah i love the song i love the beat and everything then i was i was gonna I was like, you know, like doing the remix and everything. They said you did a verse, right? Yeah, I did a verse, but it's like, I felt like I was fighting the beat, like,

I can't breathe, I'm well-mended, like the beat was just, the beat just was thin. I was like, listen, I don't wanna the song. Yeah, cause you gotta eat on much. Like, it's like, I gotta eat. You gotta eat on much. He's a guy on like, yo, relax. I get it, I get it. But like, I was windmilling and it's like I gotta eat Gotta eat no money He's a clown Like yo Relax I get it I get it

But like I was windmilling And it's like If I can't keep up With something Like it's like I'm not gonna play myself And I don't wanna like

Ruin it Like you know Like when Somebody get on a song And it's like You really f***ed the song off Get that b***h Out of here now

I was raised to f*** like you was doing s***. You had time. I really didn't want to drop an album around the pandemic because I really wanted a tour right after. Okay. I wasn't able to tour right after my first album. Like I couldn't even do a lot of music videos because I was like pregnant and everything. Like I want to like drop my album and be able to go touring right away. So that was that.

and Puerto Rican Rob they've been trying to get him up here so and I gotta salute Dochi too cause man man Dochi Dochi and Doja Cat

to me make some of the best music out there and I'm not even talking about just as far as women artists. I'm just talking about in general. That's a fact. They're really fantastic artists, both of them.

Well, speaking of, second up, we got Doja Cat, another single off of her album called Balut. I think I'm saying that right. Doja Cat is out hip-hopping everybody. You hear me? Out hip-hopping? She's out hip-hopping everybody. Is that even a term?

No, she's killing it. I love Doja's music. Doja be putting out some dope music. The production she chooses, the way she's in her rap bag, she's out hip-hopping everybody, and she's out trolling everybody on social media. Yep. That is true.

Out rapping and out trolling. That is facts. For those who are saying that she's not a rapper, I just feel like... No, she a rapper. Yeah, she's definitely a rapper. She's killing it. Yeah, I don't think she's out rapping everybody.

I think she's out hip-hopping everybody. She out rapping a lot of people but she's spitting she can rap but she's not she's she's she's she's right better than a lot of rappers right now it's the way it's the production she chooses man she out very very 90s um you know i want to talk to mouse about this because mouse just swore up and down that she is not a rapper she's a rapper it's definitely a rapper it's like um she's not who she's what is his reason because she sings and yeah i i think it's like she's a pop star then it's like what is drake is drake a rapper or a pop star what is nikki minaj like like that's the thing like people rap and they sing now she's a rapper and hip-hop is pop culture so yes most hip-hop artists are pop artists but doja's a rapper i agree all right and then lastly i'm

gonna take it to atlanta with domani and his new record called sleep it off first of all the money been dope for sure did he say do you smell do i smell like my father when you hug me yes how would that girl know what t i smell like he talked to his mom oh his mom okay okay okay okay okay got you guys and the video for it is well i don't know if it was the full video or just a clip that he posted but it's really cool he has like a girl doing ballet dancing while he's playing the piano. I don't know. It's pretty artistic.

I thought it was cool. Damani's been dope. He's actually really, really dope. Do you think it's T.I.'s shadow? Do you think people can't separate him from being T.I.'s shadow? What do you think it is? I think it's just time.

Yeah, I think time, too. I like his stuff. I think as long as he keeps... It's only a matter of time. Yeah, man. It's going to get to a point where a lot of his fans are not even going to know

T.I. for his music. That's what I think, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's only a matter of time. It's going to get to a point where a lot of his fans are not even going to know. They're not even going to know T.I. for his music. That's what I think, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's only a matter of time for somebody like Damani. And his sound is completely different from his. Way different. So I don't even bring that up. All right.

So, yeah, that's what I got. Make sure you guys download the Pass the Ox playlist. It's available on Apple Music.
