Breakfast Club? God damn it. The Breakfast Club. Put that ass up on the Breakfast Club. Tell her! Tell her! Made it! You can't say Breakfast Club without the Breakfast Club.

You're like this rare air. You got platforms and partners all over the place because your demand is so high. People want to be in business with the Breakfast Club. I don't think white people know how popular you guys are. DJ Envy. Charlemagne the God. You guys really are like the hip-hop early morning, late night talk show. Yeah, I know what

y'all talking about. Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Good morning, USA! Garbage is over. It's a wrap. Cam's done. Done, done. Done, done, done, done, done. Well, good morning, everybody. Hopefully, you guys are feeling good. It's a Friday. The weekend is here.

And I'm very excited about today. One of the icons and legends from Run DMC, Jam Master Jay, will be joining us. DMC will be here. Hollis Queen's own. Now the reason I'm excited about this and the reason this means so much is Run DMC was the first hip hop record that my mom bought for me when I was a kid.

I was a child and my mom bought me a Run DMC record and I would see Run and I would see DMC and I would see Jam Master J at Macy's and at the Coliseum in Queens and TSS which is a store that was like Walmart or Target back then and I would see Jam Master Jay at Macy's and at the Coliseum in Queens and TSS, which is a store that was like Walmart or Target back then. And I would see them all the time. And I would see them represent in my borough.

He actually went to my zone school, which was Andrew Jackson. So I would see him all the time. So to see the success and how they grew up and how they blew up and how they became so big, to get a chance to actually talk to them and run into them and actually talk to them as peers all the time is always amazing. So I can't wait for this conversation with DMC. Well, you know, they got a new documentary. Run DMC has a documentary coming on NBC Peacock called Kings from Queens. That's right.

And it premieres February 1st. So he's coming up here to talk about that as well. Yeah, I'm excited about that. And a salute to the OG veteran comedian, Earthquake. He'll be here this morning as well. Okay, so we got an action-packed Friday for as well. That's right. We got an action-packed Friday for you today. That's right. Action-packed Friday. And I'm going to tell you something, man. Life is a

spoof. Why? I don't know if Aaron Magruder is the executive producer of this life. I don't know if it's Dave Chappelle and Neil Brennan. I don't know if it's Dwayne's brothers. But life is a spoof. And you cannot tell me that God does not have a sense of humor. You know how I know? Number one, he made me.

Okay. And number two, every hour on the hour this morning on The Breakfast Club, we're playing a song called Fart. Yes, we are. That's the name of the record. Fart. I don't know if y'all have ever seen the movie Idiocracy, but you should. Okay. It is a fantastic film and it really, really, really, really, really shows us exactly where

we are in society right now. Okay. Okay? All right. And all the youngins in here are excited. I see V over there. She fist pumping. V's popping.

It's a song from Ice Spice. This is Ice Spice. And it's called Fart. That's right. Okay? And then we have front page news next, so let's get into Fart. Remember, I was born in 1978, so I can give a damn about this. Okay?

All right? I'm just telling you that life is a spoof. All right. All right? Well, let's get into it right now. Well, it's called I Think You the Ish. No, it's not. It's called Fart.

It's I Think You the Ish. What is it in the system, Red? In the system, it's Think You the Ish, but it's also called Fart. Fart. In the Ish. You think you the Ish, and in parentheses, it says Fart. Let's go. Life is a spoof, man.

I'm telling you. Executive produced by the Williams Brothers, Aaron Magruder, Dave Chappelle, Neil Brennan. That was fart, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, it was. That's what we've gotten to. Ice spice.

That was fart. My spice. Drop a fart for ice spice, Red. Okay. You got to fart it? He got it. There you go. Drop a fart for ice spice, man Red. Okay. Drop. You got to find it. He got it. There you go. Drop a fart for Ice Spice, man. Jesus Christ.

All right. All right, Ice Spice. Well, let's get into some front page news. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne Tha God. Peace, Tez. Now, let's jump into some quick sports.

Now, yesterday they announced the All-Star starters. LeBron made history being the 20th All-Star game. So, salute to LeBron James. Drop a bomb for him, not a fart. Thank you. We have no reason to drop a fart for LeBron James. Just making sure. Salute to LeBron James. 20 years in the league.

20th all-star game? For him to be this good for this long, never seen it before. Never seen it before. Steph wasn't a starter this year. So it was LeBron, Joker, Kevin Durant, Luka, and Sha. And in the East, it was Giannis, Joel Embiid, Jason Tatum, Damian Lillard, and Tyrese Halliburton.

I don't know why. Steph Curry's having a great season. I don't know why he didn't. I don't know why. Steph Curry's having a great season. I don't know why he didn't. I don't know. You know, Oklahoma City Thunder Guard, Shia was picked over him. Nah, Shia's dope. Shia's super dope.

But who do you, you know, it's where? You got Luka, you got Kevin Durant, you got Joker, you got LeBron. It's a tough one. All right. It's just votes. Yeah. What up, Tess?

What's going on, DCMV? Let's jump. Charlamagne Tha God again. Good morning again. Let's jump. Charlamagne Tha God again. Good morning again. Let's jump right into Donald Trump. Yeah. Two days after winning a New Hampshire GOP presidential primary, Donald Trump returned to a Manhattan federal courthouse. The trial centers on Trump's 2019 comments about E.G. and Carol.

That's the writer who won a civil verdict last year over Trump, who sexually assaulted her, who claimed he sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s. And then he defamed her when she first publicly accused him. So remember, she sued because of what he had said about her. So she is seeking $10 million. Here is what happened when he took the stand. He was on the stand for maybe five minutes in total. And before he testified,

the judge spent about 10 minutes going back and forth with the attorneys over what he would permit the questions to be. It was during that moment before the jury was in the room that Donald Trump spoke more than he even did on the stand. And he said audibly out loud, I never met the woman. I do not know who this woman is. I was not at the trial. I don't know who this woman is. The judge told him to keep his voice down. Once they worked out exactly the questions that his attorney would be allowed to ask him, just three, they called the jury in. Trump went up on the stand, stood at the side, raised his hand, said he swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and then sat down to give his testimony.

So that's it. Closing arguments are scheduled for Friday morning, which is today. He swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and then sat down to give his testimony. So that's it. Closing arguments are scheduled for Friday morning, which is today. The jury of nine may have the case by lunchtime. They're saying, you know, they can never say when the jury is going to actually come back. But they said, you know, typically juries don't like to go over the weekend having to come back on Monday. So this could be returned pretty quickly to determine, you know, what that settlement amount will be or we'll know on Monday one of the two. But, former President of the United States was on the stand yesterday. I'm confused though. I thought

he already had to pay her $10 million. Yeah, he did. He did. He had to pay her already. What is this about? Because he kept going. So he had to pay her $10 million and then last year he said something else about it. So they took him back for another defamation trial. For another defamation trial.

Because he kept talking. Probably will continue to talk after this as well. Go back to trial. Another defamation. Another defamation. Jesus Christ. All right. That was your ex-president Donald Trump.

Thank you, Taz. What are we doing next hour? Next hour we're going to talk about New York City is the first to designate social media as toxic. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about how some parents are also, you know, saying that TikTok is promoting unrealistic beauty as well. So a little social media conversation and depression and how that's affecting our kids. All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

and young there's five and i'm loving that i'm loving that the nfl these owners are finally realizing that you need some black coaches in there to coach a lead that's dominantly ran and controlled and by the black players the athletes right mm-hmm so here's what i'm asking you, Charlemagne, since we are Cowboys fans, right, and Jerry is never going to get it right at all, I'm thinking that we should boycott this year and rock with all or any of the teams with the black coaches.

What do you think, Charlemagne? You with me or what? I'm all for it. Rocking with the Cowboys. I'm rooting for everybody black always, but I could never root for another football team. I just, I couldn't. But I did want Jerry Jones a couple of years ago

to hire Eric Benemy. Oh, man. Yeah, I'm not... I'm trying to stick in it with my boys, man. I've been rocking since I was, you know, I'm 54, man. I've been a kid Cowboys fan, but it seems like we ain't getting it right, man. Yeah, I'm 45, but I keep...

I'm just tired, man. I'm getting this anxiety, being depressed, and my mental health is very important when it comes to this, man. But anyway, look, hey, Charlemagne, look.

This fourth annual Mental Wellness Expo, I put myself down as a volunteer, man. I'm going to follow up, man. I'm going to be there anyway, man, but I want to keep working, man. I want to help out.

Could you tell us what the name means, first of all? Basically, you know, when a snake feel like you've been playing and, like, doing a whole bunch of swaying,

it's basically telling you to back off. Like, I hear you, I see you, get up off me now. Basically, that's what it means. Now, you put out this warning, and you say, every time I get mentioned, one of y'all bitch-ass a**es gets 24 hours of attention, I'm finna get this a** with my chest and lay it to rest, right? So is it for... Per usual.

Per usual. How do you handle that without giving the negativity light, but still speaking up and defending yourself? It's for these b** bitches or these hoes um bitches and hoes are like men or women um every time one of these motherfuckers making a stadium name they get 24 hours of attention basically i understand what y'all doing and i want y'all to get up off me now actually she said use something else do something different use another tactic this one getting old actually she said fuck all y'all to get up off me. Now, actually, she said... Do something different. Use another tactic. This one getting old.

Actually, she said, f*** all y'all. And I think the people... We should play the record. Because n***a's really like a noun. That's for men or women. True. And b****es too. I get it. It's gender neutral.

Now, I haven't heard the record yet. Are you saying names? I'm saying a hit dog on holler. That's it. God damn. So it's multiple people. Yeah, whoever feel it, feel it. Okay. Did Lindsay Lohan's daddy get a shot?

I need you to walk away from your phone, Megan, okay? Because you know these motherfuckers be on you for no reason.

That's right. So, just be prepared for all the smoke and all the comments, but just walk away. Oh, because they're going to act like it's unprovoked. You know, I'm going to take a little nap, and I'm going to wake back up, and I'm going to see what they have to say. Just don't get on Instagram live, Megan. Let the record speak for itself. Block her live.

OK? Please. If you're listening, block. I don't even have social media on my phone. So it'll be OK. Good. Good, good, good. Well, let's get into the record right now.

I think she's responding to some things, getting some things off her chest subliminally,

but that's just an appetizer. That's like the jab, the jab. But you know what? I love when people do records, right, and do songs, right? Because that's what hip-hop was built off of, saying I'm the best and I'm this person person I'm not I love it when it stays in the music instead of running the social media and just getting on live or

sending out tweets put it put it in some bars put it in some bars that's what it's about right it's supposed to be a play on words and who's better lyrically right cuz that's what it's about who's the better rapper that's what they're going at so the fact that she did it in the song I'm excited about yeah I have no idea who was dancing on tick making R. Kelly go viral. I have no idea. I'm sure Pardee got some shots in there because I heard a lot of talk about exes. But I definitely heard Tory Lanez get some shots.

I don't. After that, I'm lost. So confused. I'm going to shade rooms in the Hollywood Unlocks and let y'all youngers decipher this for me. Decipher it for you. All right. All right. Well, Nicki Minaj responded already.

Next, we got front page news, and then DMC from Run DMC will be joining us this morning. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.

What's up, Tess? What's going on, DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news what's up Tess what's going on DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy be sad let's talk uh social media this morning huh yeah New York City is the first to designate social media as environmentally toxic now we talked about how toxic social media is but New York said they are going to where they have issued an advisory officially designating it as a toxic place. In response to the danger social media poses to mental health of young people, the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issued an advisory identifying unrestricted access to and use to and the use of social media as a public health hazard. So social media companies are increasingly being blamed for high rates of depression, suicide and other mental health issues in youth. So they literally put it on the books as a toxic place.

And I think you guys will probably agree how much they spend on that study, because I could have told them that 10 years ago for half of whatever they paid. OK. All right. Which is why I only do Instagram. I don't do Twitter. I don't do Facebook. I don't do Tic Tac. I don't let my kids use social media. Tic Tacsic Tac. I don't let my kids use social media at all. Tic Tac, sir. Tic Tac, sir. Whatever. I don't let my kids use social media at all. Yes. Like, duh. Social media is one of the most toxic places ever. Think about it like this. You got all of these miserable people, all of these hurt people, all of these people that are in pain. They get online every day and project that pain onto everybody. You just got collective pain, hurt, and misery being projected on social media,

which is strange to me when people go to social media looking for something good. That's not what social media is even designed for, especially nowadays when, you know, the algorithm literally caters to the seven deadly sins. I did a whole conversation with my man. We did it with Cal Newport. We had him on here. He put out a great book called Digital Minimalism, but with my man um uh we did it with kyle newport we had him on here

he put out a great book called digital minimalism but also my man from the uh the documentary the social the social network oh i can't remember his name right now but i had him on my i think i had him here on breakfast club i had him on my my talk show the god's honest truth on comedy central too talking about it like social media literally the algorithms cater to the seven deadly things that is a fact yeah it's a cesspool i also enjoyed your conversation you guys had with kevin gates uh this week you know talking about how he had to unplug and how you know it affected him and kind of getting caught up in his head with that and so um another story just wanted since we're talking about social media parents uh since charlamagne called tic tac but tic toc for than 12,000 parents are urging Tic Tac to clearly label AI generated influencers who could pass as real people to viewers.

Now, these parents, they started an online petition to say that they're concerned that these AI perfected faces and bodies are giving, you know, teens unrealistic beauty standards. So they're asking that they clearly label and they're supposed to be labeling this stuff as AI, but they said they're not catching it fast enough. They're not doing enough. They're saying that virtual influencers have been around for years. But the new explosive growth of generated AI technology has made it harder for people to identify real from fake. So just another point, because both of these stories were talking about youth. But you guys brought up an interesting point about adults. This is not I mean, adults are actually also you know being influenced by this yeah 69 percent of

adults 81 percent of teens uh use social media and it is a growing population of anxiety depression um due to social media it's a real thing you really literally have to unplug you man get off i i honestly i'm i'm i'm working on just getting my way off altogether. You know what I mean? But yeah, like I said, social networks do best when they tap into one of the seven deadly sins. There's so many articles that have been written on it. So many books that have been written on it. So many whistleblowers in Silicon Valley talk about it, how they literally cater to greed and vanity and, you know, gluttony. Like, I'm telling you, it's the devil. You know, it is.

And I'm grateful that, you know, I got six kids, that my two oldest are not on it like that. They could really care less about it. The only thing I would say is, and I know TikTok is not the answer, but my daughters, the younger ones, they like to dance. And they like to do the dance moves and share it with their friends. But they do it in a place where it's a safe place because they send it to each other. I don't know if there's an app where kids can do that and have a good time doing it because my daughter likes to dance to music that's out, whether it's old or new, whether it's doing, you know, dance from her troop stuff or cheering.

And that is something that I like because they're just having fun as kids. Like yesterday, my daughter was dancing to Happy and she did her own routine and she was able to share it with her friends in her school. But the other stuff where people can leave comments and complaints and say, I don't like you because of this or even try to lure these kids in,

that's what I don't like. I don't think the pros of social media outweigh the cons. We're not going to realize that. I mean, some of us are realizing that now and have already realized that, but the majority of society is not going to realize that, I mean, some of us are realizing that now and have already realized that but the majority of society is not going to realize that

until in the future but it's going to be too late. Like, literally right now it's people waking up and they're getting on social media waiting to know how to feel about something.

Like, for example, Megan Thee Stallion put out Hiss which we just listened to. It's people who listen to that record and instead of just going

with how they feel, like, some people might initially be like, oh, I like that record. Some people might initially be like, oh's people who listen to that record and instead of just going with how they feel, like some people might initially be like, oh I like that record. Some people might initially be like, oh I don't like that record. But they gonna wait to see what the majority of people on social media say before they form their conclusion. That's whack. But that's everything. People do that with politics.

People do that with interviews. People do that with what's going on in the world. They do that all the time. It's like they go to the popular opinion and whatever the popular opinion is, that's what they do. Well, whatever the popular opinion on social media. Correct. You're right. Social media is not reflective of the real world. Absolutely. It's not. It's a small, it's a small, small, small portion of what's actually going on in the real world. And the sad thing about it all is when you think about it i think a lot of people lose their lives in social media right they don't necessarily live in the moment right they don't get to really you know we always talk about smell the flowers they don't get a chance to smell the flowers you know i mean and i think like you said i think we need to get to a point where we

have to i don't want to say ban but limit how people you know indulge in social media well japan we talked about this story before they don't allow you know they only allow certain content you know to their children on tiktok you know so there is when you look at the united states and kind of you know go everything can go in uh and be on social media that's to your point when you're saying because should it be an app just for dancing eventually the the mess of you know get good put in so that's a big debate that they're having about tiktok you know even on the on policies level. But if you just go to any restaurant and look at couples constantly scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling,

you just really got to put the phone down at some point. I'm guilty of it myself, so. You're scrolling now, DJ Envy. No, somebody just texted me. That's the producer that just texted me. All right, well, that is front page news. That's right. Thank you, Tez.

No, DMC mix this morning. DMC from Run DMC and Master J will be joining us this morning. We're going to kick it with him. They got a three-part documentary that's coming out February 1st. It's called Kings from Queens. That's right.

So when we come back, DMC in the place to be. We're at 2 St. John's University. I dressed. All right, you know what I'm talking about. DMC when we come back is the breakfast local morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. We say special a lot, but this is one of those special, special, special guests. Icon. A legend. Absolutely. Means a lot to me. Ladies and gentlemen, DMC.

Yo, what's up, yo? It's good to be in a place like this. How you doing, my brother? You doing good. He came in here with a lot of product, too. You got children's books, comic books, he got his memoir, and he got cookies. Cookies! DMC, Daryl makes cookies. That's right. For all of you out there, we will

have the vegan, we will have the gluten-free, we will have a protein cookie for people in the gyms and we started with chocolate chip but we're gonna have chocolate chip double chocolate sugar cookie oatmeal oatmeal raisin and whole not do you remember your first cookie in life that my first year my first cookie was a butter cookie there was this place in queens in long island called gals where everybody used to get their milk from remember gals and they used to have the cows there in the cow they used to milk the cows

real cows the cows was in there and they used to bring the milk bottles by and you would buy the milk so it's this place called gals and they sold cookies and candies and stuff like that but i've always loved cookies i want to start from the beginning. Of course, I'm from Queens. And what Run DMC meant to me was everything, right? Wow. I went to school on Hollis, St. Francis, St. Joachim and Anne, right on Hollis, across the street from PS34. Right on.

And to see brothers from my neighborhood make it out and become international stars was everything. Wow. But not only that, this was the day before social media. So running into your favorite celebrity was everything right i remember running into to run and yourself at tss and oh tom square stories that's right and you giving me an autograph on the back of an envelope you know because autographs meant the most i still have it now wow let's let's talk how you got into music

and what made dC start rapping. And how did you hook up with Run? Right. Being from Hollis, Queens. So for me, I first started as a DJ. Because there was this thing going around called flash tapes. Did you hear the flash tapes? With flash and equipment.

So flash tapes came in the Queens. And it was the block parties and stuff like that. So me and my brother, we got DJ equipment. We wanted to be DJs. Right. In my basement, I was Grandmaster Get High. Grandmaster Get High? Yeah, that was my name, Grandmaster Get High,

because you didn't need old English or weed because my music wouldn't intoxicate you. That's what was in my brain. Prior to that, I was just a kid that read comic books. Now, like you, I went to Catholic school. But the first thing for hip-hop was the DJ thing. So I wanted to be like grandmaster flash so my brother he was the only one that was allowed to go to jamaica avenue to the record store

right i was still a young kid so he brought home rappers delight you know that was hip hop first on the record so rappers delight didn't attract me except for the big bank hank rom which i found out was dope because it was written by one of the dopest MCs from the street, Grandmaster Cass. But I didn't know that until Gold Crush Shapes came out. But this is the life-changing thing that made me start writing. I'm Grandmaster Gahai in my basement. I'm the DJ playing the music. Then I put two and two together.

I'm a kid trying to piece all of this together. So Grandmaster Flash has five MCs that he plays the music for. So I put the needle on this record. It didn't open up hip-hopping. There wasn't no R&B. This thing said, It was a party night. Everybody was breaking.

The highs were screaming. And the bass was shaking. And it won't be long till everybody's known that Flash is on the beat. Box going. And I'm going, Oh my God, what the hell is this? And then it goes, Italian, Caucasian, Japanese, Spanish, Indian, Negro, Vietnamese, MC, Dish Jockeys, y'all.

Fly kid. I went running. Give me a pen. Alfred, give me a pen. So I just started writing rhymes for myself. So I was Grandmaster Get High, and I was MCEZD, because my name starts with a D, and it's easy for me to write my rhymes. So that's all I'm doing in my basement, writing rhymes.

Joseph Simmons, we went to the same Catholic high school, St. Paschal Bayline. He was always in the other class. We didn't know. We only knew each other. Hey, Daryl. Hey, Joe. Because the only reason we knew each other, it was two classes each. It was kindergarten and you together. But then when you go to first grade it's one one and

one two so i was always in the two classes he was always in the one so in eighth grade what happened this is destiny we went to catholic school so you know this all the kids would come to my backyard and play basketball after school to be safe and don't have to go to 192 or Jamaica Park to get their money and get bullied and teased on. So one day, Joey shows up alone with his basketball. So we play ball. You know what I'm saying? Joe is good. Joe and Jay, I wasn't a baller.

I'll just add to remember. So we play ball. After we played ball. So Ron was good at ball? Very good. He was left-handed very good. His favorite, you can speak to him. He loved Dr. Jay. Ron was nice.ay was nice i'm comic book kid i'm awkward but i'm just trying to fit in and

impress the guys and come on i need a friend so dad put her in there you know what i'm saying so after we played ball he comes in change purpose and destiny he comes in he sees me and my brother's turntables and he goes, yo, you do that? And I go, no. Because that was my thing. I didn't want nobody. And he goes, yo, my brother's Russell Simmons. You ever see the flyers that's up on the telephone poles? My brother's

Russell Russ and he manages Curtis Blow and Jimmy Spice and he goes on and on. So now I'm a little open. I'm like, what? And he goes, yeah, I'm DJ Run. And in the summertime when there's no school, I go all around New York City in the tri-state area. They call me the son of Carter's blowing out rap. And I go, whoa, something.

I say, I can do it a little bit. And he goes, show me something. So I go over to the turntables and I do this super sperm quick mix. Soup, poop, soup. It's good in this. So now the plan was this. Now we got something else in common besides ball. After school, my parents would get home at 4 o'clock.

We get out of school 2 o'clock, 10. So we go play ball for half an hour, then we go in the basement and DJ for 45 minutes. So that became the routine. One particular day, and it was my turn to DJ, and I look over at Joe, and he's sitting on the couch in the basement, and he gots my rhyme book. That was like having my diary.

Right. You know what I'm saying? I left it on the coffee table. Usually I would put it under the couch when I knew Joe was coming. Because the rhyme book was my thing talking about me being MCEZD. So he finds it, and I'm running over there trying to get it for him. And he's like, no, no, hold on. Wait, wait, D.

And he was like, yo, you wrote all of this? And I was like, yeah, you know, it's like a hobby. And he just looks at me, and I'll never forget the day. Slow motion. When my brother Russell lets me make a record, I'm putting you in my group. And I looked at him, and it went in one ear and out the other, because I'm like, yo, am I effing, yo, I don't do this for real. You do that.

Yo, the flashes. And I say, no, D d don't worry about it so that was in eighth grade we graduated runny and jay went to andrew jackson high school andrew jackson the first school i took three trains and two buses all the way to rice high school 124th street in lenox now ninth grade 10th grade 11th grade grade, 12th grade, I graduate from Bryce High School, send my resume out to St. John's University and a couple other colleges, come home in the mail, there's a letter to me, Mr. Darrell McDaniels. I open it up before my mother, Mr. Darrell McDaniels, we are proud to inform you, you're going to St. John's University. What? Oh, this is crazy. It's funny. My mother and father come home.

I run past them down to the basement to write a rhyme. I didn't say, my God. I ran to the basement to check this out. I write this rhyme. I'm DMC. And the place to be. I went to St. John's University. So I write the rhyme.

Right? That was a class of 82. And June of 82, the phone rings. It's Joe. Yo, D, what's up, man? Now, you know, we've seen each other, but he calls this particular, remember four years ago? Yeah, when I said if I make a, uh-huh, grab your rhyme book. We're going to the studio

to make a record. We go to Green Street Recorder Studio. Right here. And we go down there, we make it like that, and that's the way it is. And then the B-Side Sucker MCs. Wow. Here I am today. Wow. Alright, we got more with DMC from Run DMC. When we come back, don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with DMC from Run DMC. Charlamagne? You know, I wanted to ask you, when it comes to emceeing, how do you properly rank hip-hop emcees? Because just like in basketball, skills have changed throughout the years.

Right. You know? So how do you rank a rapper from the 80s with somebody from the 90s or the 2000s? Like, how do you do that? There's no go. You can't say that there's a goat because everybody's so good you get you know people always say well it's funny throughout

the years people would ask me um who's better eminem or jay-z chuck d okay that ends that so you know if you thought you know i'm saying this dude chuck said i'm so versatile saying without rhyme which is without right this book me and r Rubin, shout out to Rick Rubin. We tried to do this. Nobody ever did this. And now let's talk about skills. I'm so versatile saying over a beat. I'm so versatile saying without rhyme,

which is why they after me and they're on my back, looking over my shoulder to see what i write they hear what i say and they want to know why why they could never compete on this level superstar status is my domain understand my rhythm my patterns of lectures and then you'll know why i'm on the run that one verse trumps every generation. So how do you rate MCs and rhymes for the effect that they have when they're on the stage

and when they're in that crowd? That's how you do it. See, when Melly Mel battled Eminem, you know what I'm saying? And Mel came out with that thing. Somebody said, it sounds like somebody AI'd Mel's response to that. All Mel had to do was do you. When Pete Rock produced us, Pete Rock produced Down With The Kings for us.

Down With The Kings, yeah. The 80s changed. The 90s changed hip-hop. What Run DMC did for Aerosmith. Y'all brought Aerosmith back. Stephen Tyler and Joe Pace, yes, they did. The same thing that we did for Aerosmith, Pete Rock did for us with Down With The Kings. We wasn't participating. We wasn't With The King. We wasn't participating.

We wasn't on a chart. We wasn't on MTV no more. So Pete Rock brings us back. I remember going in that session with Pete Rock, and he said, D, you ain't got to be Eminem. You ain't got to be Jay-Z. You ain't got to be Kool Rock. Give me that DMC.

So I was like, okay. He asked me, what are you doing right now? I'm taking the tours. I'm raking the land. I keep it hardcore because it's dope, man. These are the roughest, toughest words. And I wrote, damn, not meant for a hoe like a slow damn second. Suck him, Cesar.

So all Mel had to do, when you talk about rating, all Mel had to do is what he did on Pump Me Up to battle that. Don't try to flip it up. I can't even move that. Like, don't try to be that beat. See, when I went to Rice, I realized what these kids, the celebration of hip-hop wasn't a 50-year celebration. It was a goddamn lie.

The celebration that we just had was the 44-year celebration of recorded rap because they set, here's Kool Herc, 73, and they jumped to 79. All the record-making motherfuckers. They didn't talk about what i came in this and that and this you didn't hear you only know mo d from battling ll you didn't hear mo with the treacherous street who was just as dope as scarface and just as dope as a drake so how do you rate them you can't rate them you got to go and see what they do and put these motherfuckers in a class by themselves mel all had to do them Eminem.

Rappers might be willing, but they ain't able because I was their king straight from my cradle. Screamed and hollered, shook my rattle, dreamt I defeated them all in battle. There was no food in my silver spoon, but I grew up hard and I grew up soon. I'm a righteous king and I'm hungry too and I eat a punkster rap like you.

I met you. That's all Mel had to do. He tried to play Em's game. Yeah, he tried. He started playing his own game. The 50-jar rule. 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. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.

Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.

Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

Sitting on a corner just a waste of my time When I realized it was the king of the rhyme I got on the microphone podcast or wherever you get your podcast sitting on a corner just a waste of my time when i realized it was the king of the rhyme i got on the microphone and what do you see the rest was my legacy i was born to be the king of this hip-hop thing with stallions and medallions and diamond rings on a mansion and a yacht cool million in gold because rap is the game that i control i'm

like shakespeare i'm a pioneer and I may rap something people wanted to hear. See, before I came, it was the same old thing with the ball. They did all that street call game. So if you ever let me make this clear, if you ever think that I'm going out of here, if you... So people ain't no Melvin the record.

See, I'm such a fan. I don't care about you and your records. I'm not Scarface. I'm not Nas. But for not nice but for scarface bumpy knuckle and coogee rap to tell me yo d you're the best you cut the head off the devil and see you can't rate it you know i'm saying for them to tell me that so you can't you can't rate it so what run dmc did is this let me calm calm down. When you see this documentary... I hope I don't turn back to Bruce Bannon. Yes, I get excited about this hip-hop stuff. I love it. I gave you what Run DMC... We didn't create it.

People go, um, we know hip-hop was before you, but you all created it. No. Run DMC is the pioneers of recorded rap. We took... If you listen to Adidas, we took the beat from the street as it was. Everybody else was wearing tracksuits. Everybody else was wearing Adidas. Everybody else was wearing gaz the street as it was. Everybody else was wearing tracksuits. Everybody else was wearing Adidas.

Everybody else was wearing gazelles. Everybody else was Kangals, Ganacar, Sheepskins and all. We took the beat from the street. We took the culture from the street. Because MTV, we put it on TV for all to see. That was our pioneering role. That's what we did. But Mel is just as dope as pun.

Now, everybody would say Eminem, Andre 3000. What about Pun? Yeah, absolutely. What about Pun? Nobody never puts him in the top five. Hold it. This is going to blow your mind. In the top five, just from Andre 3000 and Lauryn Hill never had a rap verse.

And what I mean by that is Eminem fans, Jay-Z fans, Run fans, everybody else can, no, it's all right. Lauryn Hill and Andre 3000 never got it all right. Lauryn Hill is in the top five of MCs. And if you don't believe me, just go listen to what's out there available and tell me what dude is better than her now.

You can. I think the only thing they'll say about Andre and Lauren is they didn't. I don't agree with that with Andre because he had the whole OutKast catalog. But with Lauren, they'll say she didn't give us enough music. Right, right, right. But no, all I'm saying is just listen to what she did. I'm just saying that you got tapes from Harlem World. I agree.

You got tapes from Harlem World with Spoonie G coming into the Christmas Rap Convention with every MC in New new york and he didn't come spit no love rap stuff he said tis tis i pre-chase this but some of you mcs are taking a risk trying to take him a chair but these guys had that thing so for me when i came in i knew i wasn't the best i know i wasn't mel i knew i wasn't even run. But my thing was, what would Spider-Man do? What would the Hulk do? What would the Thor? So my whole presence in hip-hop was, now that I'm doing comic books,

people say, I know why I like you now. Thor is the son of Odin from Asgard, has a brother named Loki, and he has a hammer. I saw that, and I saw what hip-hop do. My old man at DMC can transform into the devastating mic controller. My name is Daryl. I'm from Hollis. My father's name is, excuse me, Byford, and I got a brother named Alfred. So I became son of Byford, brother of Al.

Ben is my mother and runs my pal. It's McDaniels, not McDonald's. These rhymes are Daryl's. Those burgers are Ronald's. I ran down my family tree. So hip-hop gave me a way to be enthusiastic about who I am at whatever points in my life. All right, when we come back, we got more with DMC. Let's get into a mini-mix.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Char get into a mini mix. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with DMC from Run DMC.

I got to ask, so when Run DMC takes off, right, and the world is looking at Run DMC, they're looking at these two black brothers on every TV screen.

Three black brothers. Three black brothers. That's right. Three black brothers. Did y'all understand the impact and how was y'all mental during that time because y'all were kids from Queens from Hollis and now all of a sudden

y'all were in every household selling out shows and concerts it was the scariest thing ever it was the scariest thing ever but we knew Jay was funny, Jay's thing was we gotta watch our day, we gotta watch what we say we gotta watch what we do. Listen,

I sniffed more coke than the earth could put on the earth. Run and Jay smoked more weed. I drunk a case of Old English today. Jesus. But we know, yo, if they're wearing glasses like D

and wearing hats and tracksuits like us and Adidas like us, we can't be talking about, you know what I'm saying? We knew we had a big influence. So that's why we was careful. So we had to figure out how could we be the hardest thing ever without being disrespectful profane and still relate to these brothers and sisters in the streets that's why i came up most of our records were rhyme routines you know cold crush had it's us you know it's us to cold crush you know um foursome c's

before they were the foursome d's we are called for you put to be still a melody let's still let's steal um all anxiety from um um from the new year's day oh let's steal let's steal bob dylan melody we would steal melodies and you would make it over to hip-hop beats. So when we got to that point and everybody was saying, Raps are fat, it's going to be a commercial. And you know, all the singers that hated us, not like the Ramones, not like Lou Reed, not like Cher, they loved us. I remember when we met Bon Jovi, you guys are incredible.

But the critics and the journalists and a lot of so-called real magicians hate us. So when I wrote It's Tricky to Rock a Rhyme, I'm trying to tell you, oh, it's tricky to do. This ain't easy. But to do that and maintain that level in this business that you're not accepting. So for us, it was always a thing where, OK, let's sit down. The first thing we have to do is what everybody's doing. We're going to do something different. The first rappers didn't have rappers to look up to now there's flyers with melanin with sheepskins and mock necks and godfather hats and madame you know i'm saying the only one out of meli mel that stayed that mel the only one out

of fur is five that was like me running jay was cowboy there's a couple of times cowboy put on some little tassels but he didn't put on that other stuff. When they got into showbiz, when this hip-hop thing that nobody believed in gets to showbiz now, number one, they're changing their delivery. They're changing their presentation. They change who they really are to fit in. So when they get into showbiz, they don't have no rappers to look up to because they're the first

one. So if you look at Mel, Afrika Bambaataa, if you look at Afrika Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation, Soul Sonic Force, they look like Parliament Funkadelic. If you look at Grandmaster Fashion, Furious and the Zulu Nation, Soul Sonic Force, they look like Parliament Funkadelic. If you look at Grandmaster Fashion, Furious Five, Modena, they look like the Sex Pistols, they look like the Rolling Stones,

and they look like Rick James. Because in show, I'm talking about in the showbiz arena, when me and Ron was coming in, we was like, the music business didn't let hip-hop come in. From me and Ron and Jay's perspective. We bringing this hip-hop to the music business because nobody does it. So when Russell let me, oh, circumcise the and Jay's perspective, we bringing this hip-hop to the music business because nobody does it. So when Russell let me, oh, circumcise the good, it's like that.

Russell's whole thing was, y'all need wardrobe, y'all need wardrobe, y'all do your own. So me and Run would say, yeah, cool, but we ain't wearing that. Who y'all want to dress like, the drug dealers? No, we want to dress like Jam Master Jay and DJ Hurricane. Now listen, DMC is here because there's a new three-part docuseries on Peacock, Kings from Queens, the Run DMC is here because there's a new three part docuseries on Peacock Kings from Queens the Run DMC story so even though we're getting all of this now

I still want y'all to go watch it on Peacock absolutely while we're here it's in depth on Peacock very in depth just for radio purposes

I want to ask you has Run DMC felt like Run DMC since the passing of Jam Master Jay no not at all 100% not at all

people always say could it be an album and a tour and my joke but they get it Since the passing of Jam Master Jay. No, not at all. Not 100%. Not at all. People always say, oh, could it be an album and a tour? My joke, but they get it. This is the only way you can shut people up. Run DMC will tour when the Beatles get back together. Everybody does that. They do. You know what I'm saying?

It's Paul and Rangel. It can't happen now. When we do show up, it's not Run DMC. It's Reverend Run and King DMC, the two members who used to be in that band. Jay, Run DMC don't exist without Jay. You know what I'm saying? If you want to know who Run DMC is, go back and look at all the videos. Listen to the rest.

That's Run DMC. Me and Run are the two surviving members of that band you know and it's the same in this generation with the Migos God bless Take Off like

it'll never be the Migos even if you make the record it's something weird the only way that Run DMC could co-exist as a group is a brilliant thing we would have to

reform a new band if you look at David Grohl look what the rock dudes do Paul McCartney left the Beatles he didn't try McCartney left the Beatles. He didn't try to keep the Beatles. The Beatles' legacy is untouchable, like Run-D.M.C.

But when Paul went solo, he stopped Paul McCartney and Ring. Like, I got a band now. I do all my catalog live, live drum and guitars. It's called DMC and the Hellraisers to give homage to Raisin' Hell. So if you look at Soundgarden, Audioslay, they all morph. You know what I'm saying? So hopefully hip- hop will get to that where can we go now, now we have to figure out

how, once you get into the stadiums, you gotta figure out how do you keep the legacy going, if you're still a cohesive band, or how do you continue to own, when you look at people I used to play for, Crosby, Stills, Young and Nash, when you look at Pink Floyd

the two dudes from the band, they do their own things. Maybe once in a while they'll show up. So if you see me in Run, you see it. Oh, shoot. Paul McCartney played with Ringo last night. So to answer your question, Charlamagne,

no, it's no Run DMC without Jam S.A.J. Because every record was Run DMC and Jam S.A.J. Or Jam S.A.J. Jam S.A.J. And the funny joke is when we first started out people thought we was an r&b group but nobody could jay come out by himself with some turntable ladies gentlemen i'm jam master jay right about now boom dad dad throw your head call me i'll come out check the mics no they couldn't mess with us so to ask me did i see hip-hop doing this no why because i was

doing it there you gotta come back because we got to have a long conversation. I know you have to go. I'll come back with more cookies. With more cookies. I just got to ask one more question. I know you said it on Drink Champs. Yes. Was Run DMC supposed to be in the call with Tupac the 90?

Yeah, well, yeah. So many people, so many people was like, yo, dude, here's what happened. We get a call from Suge Knight. They wanted us, Run-D.M.C., to perform at the, what was the name of the club in Vegas? The 666. The club that they own. The Shigal.

Yes, in Vegas. We get a call. Suge says, yo, me and Pac are coming to get the guys. Pac wants y'all to ride with him to the show and to the after party. Now, cool. This is a true story, and this is a beautiful Jam Master Jay story. So he calls and says, Eric, I'm coming to get the guys, right? Eric goes, nah, Suge.

Y'all go by yourselves. We'll meet y'all there later. We'll meet y'all at the after party later. And Suge goes, why? And true story. You're going to laugh. Eric goes, because Jam jay is getting dressed so that's why we didn't ride at least we might have been in the car with the gunshots because pop there was no way jay and pop ain't riding to the after but jay was

that dude so maybe not me and run we something else but jay might have been in the car let me rephrase that what i said j would have been there but the reason why and you can talk to Kane ask him Kane will say Jay will keep you there he will try on Gucci leather sneakers that's why we didn't get a car

so I love you Jay now February 1st the docu-series check it out Thursday February 1st on Peac you got to go. You got nothing to do. Run DMC story. The docu-series. Check it out Thursday, February 1st on Peacock. And we appreciate you. We appreciate you, Larry. Thank you for having me here. I saw you had Grandmaster Flash in the building.

See, y'all are hip-hop. Y'all are hip-hop. The other people are just radio stations. Y'all are hip-hop because you're being what you are while you're doing everything else. Word, word, word. Appreciate that. Keep that up, man. It's The Breakfast Club.

It's DMC. Morning, man. It's The Breakfast Club. It's DMC. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. We are The Breakfast Club. Again, salute to DMC from Run DMC. Salute to the legend DMC. Go get all his work, too. He got his memoir, 10 Ways Not to Commit Suicide. He got a comic

book out, DMC. Daryl makes comics. He got children's books out. Daryl's Dream. He got his cookies out. daryl makes comics you got children's books out that's right daryl's dream you got his cookies out daryl makes cookies that's right salute to the icon uh dmc man absolutely let's get to the 25 to 54 numbers just went through the roof let's talk nicki minaj this is the rumor report i mean I guess we on the breakfast club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right.

Now, last hour, we played Megan Thee Stallion's new record. It's called Hiss. It was released last night at midnight. Meg called this morning to premiere the record. All right, now, Nicki Minaj heard it and already jumped on IG Live and started talking about the record. Here's what Nicki Minaj said. Hey, yo, that bitch, she like six foot. Huh? Call her bitch foot. Huh? on IG live and started talking about the record here's what Nicki Minaj said no no no not three grammys and can't find the beat no no no y'all still cheers the blood clot beat with three no no no i mean i said i gotta give you your lashes bitch i hope that was gotten back to Miss Lying Lipo.

What the hell is happening? Okay, so I guess while she was on live, she played a part of a song called, I guess, Bigfoot, which is, I guess it was a diss record going to Megan. She had in the cut. I'm sure, you know, Nicki's strategic when she comes with her. So I'm sure that record was done a while ago. So she was talking about, you know, I guess it's called Bigfoot. She also said this. Who you trying to beat? Bun B or Pimp C? What's Bun B? Bun B or Pimp C? It's your Bun B. It's your Pimp C.

I'm your Bun B. I'm your Pimp C. Nicky's stupid, yo. Well, listen. Meg is from Houston, though. So, I mean, you know, how you not going to be influenced by Port Arthur's finest, Bun B and Pimp C? Come on, UGK. Drop on a clues bomb for UGK.

Yes. That ain't, you know, that's not an insult to be, you know, for somebody to say you sound like Pimp C or Bunimp C. Come on, UGK. Drop on a clues bomb for UGK. That's not an insult for somebody to say you sound like Pimp C or Bun B now. Come on now. But listen, Meg, when she called this morning, she said the hit dogs will holler. So clearly Meg, I guess, was talking about Nicki and Hiss, right?

Yes. What are they saying she said? I'm not breaking this down. Oh, okay. I'm not going to break down. Huh? You got the Nicki diss clip? Oh, go ahead. Let's hear it.

I'll wait for somebody to tell me. I don't know. But all is fair in love and rap. And that's what we say, right? Yes. We say that all the time. We say that when the guys do it. We say, you know, all is fair in love and rap.

But when you see what Megan went through, right? She was assaulted by a man. There's a man in prison right now for shooting her, right? Tory Lanez. So is that fair for another woman to make fun of? Because when the guys say those things, people get extremely upset.

But people seem to be laughing with Nikki when she does it. I'm just saying. I'm just pointing out the double standard here. I think when it comes to rap battle and things that don't off the table, I think anything goes. I mean,

it is what it is. These women are battling each other right now. At this point, we seen it with Nas's ether. We seen it with Tupac's hit them up. We seen it with, with Jay's song. They are rapping,

rapping. We seen it with Remy Ma. They're rapping. They're using lyrics and they're playing, you know, have wordplay. So that's what it is. You know,

well, I hope all y'all got y'all therapists on speed dial because y'all be playing with each other's trauma like it's nothing. You know what I mean? I mean, it's always been like that, but I just, I would love for it to stay on record. Of course, come on. You know, that's-

Of course it will. We say that as a cliche thing now. Why would that, of course it will. No, and I'm not saying, like, I expect people to shoot each other up or fight. I just don't want to, I hate the IG lives and them talking. I just like the music. I just- No, that's a good point. I just don't want to. I hate the IG lives and them talking. I just like the music. I just.

I just. That's a good point. I just like them. I like the music part of it. Now, see, that's what you just said makes a lot of sense for 2024. Because, you know, a lot of times when we say we hope it stays on records, we're talking about street stuff. So in my mind, me being the old head I am, my mind immediately goes to that. But no, what you said just now makes a lot of sense.

Keeping on music instead of tweets. Tweets. And the Instagram live. Correct. because y'all used to like all of the women were throwing around some great insults at each other about a couple of years ago we were like well why this ain't old music right like when cardi called jt prison pants and then lotto called nikki's super freaky grandma like i'm like why y'all ain't making records that's right like y'all should be making records these are some good insults that's right no. You know? Yep. Well, also, Mary J. Even everything Nicki was doing just now, I'm glad that those were bars.

Yeah, but. The Bigfoot thing, but then put the UGK thing in some bars, too. Like, you know what I mean? She was in the studio. Yep. So we'll see. Absolutely. Now, Mary J. Blige says that she will not be in a Lovers and Friends festival.

She said her inclusion was a mistake. She said, I'm beyond humbled by the response from all of you about the announcements of me on lovers and friends festival unfortunately my inclusion was an error as i will be busy in preparation for my strength of a woman's summit just one week later i have the greatest fans in the world and can't wait to see you in new york in a few short months mary j blige and the dream uh said the same the show will be amazing so with the amazing lineup unfortunately i won't be able to perform this year although my name is attached kill it bro oh that's what uh scrim for woman festival gonna be this year i guess it's gonna be in new york i

guess that's announcement which is dope oh okay all right well that is your rumor report now charlamagne who you giving that down man for after four after the hour, man. Let's talk about love, man. What you won't do, do for love. Not just love, being stupid in love. We need a man named Angrez Singh to come to the front of the congregation because we'd like to have a word with him. This might be the most stupidest in love story I've ever heard in my life. Okay. We will discuss.

All right. You ready? Ready for what? What you mean? Ice Spice. Listen, I ain't got no qualms with Ice Spice. I was born in 1978. I know when something isn't for me, okay?

girlfriend to write an exam on her behalf angra singh from punjab has been arrested after impersonating his girlfriend to write an exam on her behalf. Angra Singh from Punjab has been arrested after dressing as his girlfriend, Paramajit Kaur, to sit a health worker exam on her behalf. According to police, Singh took a fake ID along to take the test, but was caught after his fingerprints didn't match the correct candidates for the biometric device. Kaur has had her application turned down. You think? Man, hit my Bobby Caldwell, man. Hit that What You Won't Do For Love one time for me, right? Listen, that white boy can sing. Can't drop on a clue bump for Bobby Caldwell. Listen, man. Listen, I pray we all get to experience love on this level.

I'm serious. Even though he's getting donkey today, I'm serious. I want all of us to experience love on this level. I understand he got arrested, and arrest is never good, but we all need to be stupid in love at least once in life okay it's a lot of lessons to be learned when you've been stupid in love hopefully that stupidity doesn't cause you to do something like die or kill but getting arrested because you decided to be trans for a test is so sweet okay sweet and stupid all right his woman was trying to be a health care

worker and she already had failed the previous prerequisite exam. So even though he was her main sugar stain, he decided to be an undercover lover and go undercover as her. Shaved his facial hair, applied makeup and got busied up. OK. And women's clothes and went to take the exam. You want to see a picture of me? I do. Let me show you a picture.

Look at it. Look at it. Look at it. Look at it. You see? You see? You see? I'm all for equality, okay? Women have been doing things like letting us hold their pee for years, the past piss test.

If you've never had to pass a drug test, you probably can't relate. So to me, this is the next level of that. Now listen, if I'm his girlfriend, I'm flattered, but also insulted. Because how handsome does my boyfriend think I am that he could just put on some makeup and pass as me? How strong are my facial features? How defined is my jawline? How many muscles do I have in or around my neck that would make my boyfriend think he could pass as me? She had to be thinking, am I pretty? Is he handsome? Is he pretty? Am I handsome? Maybe we are both pretty handsome.

And what kind of build is happening here on the both of them? Does he have man breasts? Huh? Does he have the titties of Todd? Huh? Does he have hips? Huh? Is he as thick as me?

Huh? Is he as thick as me? Is he as thick as me? Look at me, King. Look at me. You're not that thick. Now look. I looked at the young man.

Okay? He's pretty. He's's pretty i don't know if it's the makeup or the hair or his features are already soft but he's pretty not as pretty as the ovon says i am charlamagne i think kind of have a he seemed like oh he had a troll a little bit he seemed like a he have a kind of a womanly look. He's beautiful. That's right. You think that? Mm-hmm. Dude, you tell me Charlemagne ain't fine, bro? Come on, though. Come on, though. I think if you put a, if he was in Japan, or a.

A wig? If he was a, yeah. Oh, you put him in a wig, dog, some basketball player's going to f*** him. Hmm. Hmm. He not as fine as I would be if I decided to cross dress which i would never word to cat williams but i can acknowledge angridge is a decent looking lady boy but still a lady boy nonetheless and that's what got him in trouble because exam exam officials grew suspicious

because his face didn't match the picture on the application form you think and then authorities ran his biometrics and discovered they didn't match and this is new i just found this out he wore a tennis skirt with no drawers so somebody noticed his testicles hanging out of the tennis skirt and the jig was up shut up okay police police also accused his girlfriend of conspiring with her boyfriend as they believed he wouldn't have been able to enact the deception without her consent and possible assistance. This might be the first time in human history that a woman encouraged and empowered her man to cheat and she was happy he did.

And she also got held accountable for her role in his cheating because she encouraged it. And there you have it. The secret to healing the world. Please give Angridge Singh and his girlfriend the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh now you are the donkey

of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yeehaw. Yeehaw. Couple things. of the day yee haw couple things you're not that pretty you're not that thick that's one

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Legend.

Legend. Comedian. Earthquake. Welcome, brother. Thank you. Thank you, brothers. It's always an honor to be on this show, man. I look forward to it.

It's always a highlight when I come next with you brothers, man. Happy to have you here. How you feeling, first of all? Man, I'm blessed, man. Life is good. Things are good. Career so i'm good man i'm real good you know your name came up uh when when recently when kat williams did his interview with uh shannon shannon shark yeah well i want to talk about just that conversation period what is that conversation done for for black comedy comedy I don't think anything cuz what

no jokes in it understand I'm in the joke-telling business you know what I mean so it didn't do anything I think for comedy personally speaking me him was cool so you know I didn't I didn't know where that came from certain thing he said about me half was true, half was a lie, you know. But to each his own. I don't, you know, man, I don't even get into that part of it. Because, see, I'm the type of person, if I have a problem with you, Charlamagne, I'm going to call you. And man to man. And we're going to talk it out.

We're going to duke it out. But we're going to handle it man to man. I don't talk behind people's back. And that's what social media is. If you go into a platform and talk about a person without you addressing them yourself when you have opportunities to get in contact with let them let it be known so you know i don't get into that you know i mean i let them believe what they need to believe now you said you were cool or you thought you were cool now do people are saying he did that to sell tickets some people said he was just venting or some people was just like it was just a lie just to

create the controversy around and you know what what it's just it's just weird it just feel like it just came out of nowhere well i don't know what is the motivation on it on it i have been in this business for 30 years we as comedians have never did that type of thing ever before. We're not rappers. We don't have beefs. You have a disagreement with a comic. Usually, we take it with the individual and handle it as such. Outside of just doing that thing was the first time ever seeing it done.

But we're on a new age now. You know what I mean? It's a different age. And I don't know what the motivation of the brother is. When I first ran into Cat, he was the most phenomenal doing things that had never been done in here. He was selling out Madison Square Garden type arenas on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. And I was never. I was coming into Oakland.

And they was like, you know, Cat going to be here. I said, what? I just got here. Where are you going to be? Where are you at this Friday? They're like, no, was like, you know, Cat going to be here. I said, what? I just got here. Where he at this Friday? They're like, no, he Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday with the Warriors player. I was like, oh, my God. And then, you know, his acting skills was on top because he was on Hill Street Blues doing the thing. So I have always admired, you know, his work and what it is.

But, see, I don't get into all that because I'm in the joke-telling business, and as long as we talking about jokes, that's the only thing that I am into. I ain't in the pimp game. I ain't in the drug game. I ain't in none of that. I'm into the jokes.

So if you have anything to say to me or anything to say to me, it should be right there in that category because that's the only thing that I am involved in, the public platform of it. So the rest of that, that he can keep why do you say you can't read where did that come from i don't know i mean you y'all into terrestrial first of all it's a lie because i couldn't i used to be a wbls radio and everybody in radio wants to be like y'all and be syndicated. But if you're not syndicated and you just got one goddamn station, only way you get some money off live reads in traffic and the rest of them.

So it came to that. And another thing, ninth grade, I was picked to go to Georgetown in the Upper Brown Program. Upper Brown ain't no joke. Upper Brown Program. Thank you. Upper Brown ain't no joke. Upper Brown program. Thank you. Upper Brown program. Only reason I didn't make

Upper Brown program is when they took me on the tour, they let me taste a fresh donut for the first time. And I ate it. I was like,

oh my God. Freshly squeezed oil juice. And I said, you can have all these? They said, yeah. I said, y'all keep on walking around.

I'm going to stay right here near these donuts. Because I'm used to eating the hostess donuts that little pack but i never had like a donkey one i'm like oh my god this is delicious so yeah i was upper bound program to be picked out of georgetown to go to georgetown in the ninth grade so i don't know also in the military as a air traffic controller could have been an air traffic controller, but I wanted to get out of my mother's house. I said, what job can I leave today to leave her house? They said, you can be an air traffic controller. You can come back in six months and leave.

I said, no, I need to leave today. What you got? They said, loaded nuclear weapons. I said, I'll take it. You used to load nuclear weapons? Yeah, man. I dropped one. I'm trying to see two live crews.

Man, stop playing. No real talk. Boxed LF on space. weapon? Yeah, man, I dropped one. I'm trying to see two live crew. Man, stop playing. No, real talk. Box the LF on space. What? Yeah, trying to see two live crew. When Luke first came out, we dropped that because you have to change the ordinance, the disguise from the Russians.

What are you talking about? You dropped the bomb so you could get out to the club? No, I told them I wanted to go see Luke Friday. They put me on the schedule. I had already said I'm not going. So they said, go out there, change the ordinance, and then you can leave. Of course, I've been doing this for 10 years. I'm like, all right, we don't need this.

So I put it up, and we tell the mood, the racket and everything. We ain't put all the grease fitting in. It came down and hit. Boom. Everybody ran. I said, what y'all running for? A nuclear weapon? A nuke.

I said, you hit the ground. I don't believe it. I said, what y'all running for? A nuclear weapon? A nuke. I said, you hit the ground. I don't believe it. I smell the God on. I'll get somebody here. Listen to me, man. This is God, honest truth. God take my talent from everything on. My name is in the Pentagon under Broken Arrow.

You understand what I'm saying? Yes. Why they call you Broken Arrow? That's what happens when you drop a nuke in the country. It's called a Broken Arrow. That's what happens when you drop a nuke in the country. It's called a Broken Arrow. When there's a nuke on your own friendly soil and everything is an accident, it's called a Broken Arrow. So you're radioactive right now.

Well, no, man. It's just, you know, I told them. You understand? I'm in Boxdale, Louisiana, Shreveport, Louisiana. This is when Luke was at the height of this thing and had 150 bad chicks. I said, I'm going. And they sent me out here

to change the ordinance on the plane. So they brung it on itself. But the nuclear clearly didn't go off. No, nuclear weapons are some of the most safest ordinances that you got. Conventionals are more difficult because they got to drop at a certain height and then hit the safe thing, safe mall. It's

the most safe. But everybody ran. And then base commander came safe thing, safe mall. It's the most safe. But everybody ran. And then base commander came. No, we was on the flight line. We was on the flight line on the B-52. And you put it in the bomb bay to change it out. And it came down and hit the ground. Boom, everybody ran. I was like, what y'all running for?

And then they came and got me. Base commander came. And then they took us to the hospital to do drug tests and everything to see if we high. Ain't find nothing but incompetence in my blood. And then they put me on the snack bar. Damn. They don't let me touch no more. No more nukes.

No more planes or nothing. And people like, ah, you stuck. I said, man, I don't care. E-5, get the same amount of money as loading bombs as an E-5 to pass out coffee. So the check ain't changed. It ain't hurt my feelings. I don't know, man. A lot of people are going to say, man, Cap might have been right, man.

You might have had to read something. I don't know. And that's why. That's why. You and him. Nah, boy, that one Luke was hot, man. He was on field down in New York. One of them things, showing them chicks shaking and everything.

And I was like, man, they finally going to do a concert at 150. And Shreveport was a small town. Bozer City was a small town in that way. And we had no black women that looked that good in my eyesight. So I was looking forward to it. And I told them I wasn't going. So they put us out there. Shout out to Sergeant Anderson, who called me about two weeks ago.

He was also on the team when we dropped the nuke. Well, listen, you know you got to prove things to the internet, so go ahead and read that real quick. Yeah, read that. It's a live read. Read it out loud. Cat Wim is a liar. That man can read. They play too much of it. See, they play too much.

I know. I know when I'm f***ing with y'all. They play too much of it. All right, we got more with Comedian Earthquake. When we come back, don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Comedian Earthquake.

True. You know, one thing that's been coming up recently is comedians stealing jokes. Now, it seems like that would seem kind of something that's normal because you know, if you're talking about a car or you're talking about black versus white,

it seems like a lot of it. So, has that happened to you? I've been robbed more than any comedian on earth. I have. I have friends that have taken my jokes. I have friends that have called me and told me they have taken my jokes. I'll write another one. You know what I mean? It's a thing I want to do.

It happens. That's why I do not look at other comedians perform. Because I don't physically write. I mentally write. So I don't want to be contaminated with the thought. You could sit here and see another comedian tell a joke. And subconsciously, it would be into you. Then you could sit here and get on stage and riff. And come up with it be into you then you can sit here and

get on stage and riff and come up with and think you came up with it but you previously saw somebody else do it that's what happens sometimes we all it's only certain many subjects that is discovered this is your version of OJ trial this is your version

of Trump this is your version of Joe Biden you know what I mean? So the shit happens. Me, myself, I just continue, you know, I just replenish as they diminish and I just keep on going with it. The way I keep myself from even for that ever happening

to me, I don't watch other comedians. I've heard people say that. I found that video with Bernie Mac very interesting because Bernie Mac was like, people are going to take your jokes. Don't say your jokes around other comedians, especially the younger ones when the veterans are around. Well, veteran and the rest of them.

But see, it's beautiful with me is, and I'm blessed that I don't have to go to a club to work a joke out. You see what I'm saying? I can mentally see this is going to work. And I can apply it to my regular show as I'm doing it. Take one out, put a new one in, continue to make the rotation go. Certain comedians don't have that process. They have to actually write it down and then try it on the stage. And then you have comedians in the back, oh, I like that.

And then they'll give you the thought pattern. They will give you their version of that thought pattern. This is what I would have said if I thought of that. You know, that's stealing too. So, you know, they sit there. But you just, it's an occupational hazard. You think the DMV area gets the credit it deserves for being a comedy hotspot? No. We have some of the great.

Martin, Dave, me, Tommy Davidson, Tony Woods. It's a lot. Donnell, my brother. Man, I was hoping you left him out. No, you can't leave. You found him. I was hoping y'all left Donnell out. No, you can't leave Donnell out.

Donnell, you know, we're in there. We're in. D.C. is a hard market as compared to like new york you they don't give you nothing in dc if you ain't funny then they're gonna let you know right there and it they'll wait until you succeed before they give you your accolades to with comic view your big break in my totality of my career or just just at that point? At that time, Comic View. Comic View was my big break. That's where Airbonding, and I could tell Quake fans when they come say,

I want to put your Air and your mama name. You know, when I know that, then I mean they was original Quake fans. How do you feel about them bringing back Comic View? It was great. I was there when they was filming with Mike and Kevv any platform that allowed the genre to expand and give opportunities i'm all for and i participated and i've done that my whole career with my radio show and me doing the club and everything else to expand it because it's a great art form it's you know i don't there's vitriol that's going on that it's not what the job description of we bring joy and sit here and make

more people laugh Is it true that uh, Kim Whitley ghosted you after you? Put it down Yeah, I get her on that Today for a brief she ghosted me out there. She hit me and left me Hey man, I'm a king Kim used to date for a brief and she ghosted me after. She hit me and left me. You might not put it down like you thought you did. Hey, man, I'm a king. I don't pay for dinner and satisfy you.

You got to pick one. You got to pick one. I'm King Joffrey now. You got to take care of the king man so the one time thing? yeah we did it one time but Kim did more for me than anything when I first had my biggest break

before that time my TV show on ABC and Kim came and helped me navigate through that I it was i had a lot of people around me that wasn't good for me and she came in and showed me how to do tv and um reiterated what i know now is i'm you know i'm not an actor i'm a movie star and and there's a difference you know a conversation that that that always comes up is is black comedians wearing a dress true why and what's your thoughts on it it's hard is your country falling apart feeling tired depressed a little bit revolutionary

when white dudes do it, man, they're genius. When we do it, it has something to do with our manhood. You know, it's art. If it's a hit and it's funny, White Chicks was great. Big Mama House was great. You know what I mean? I know Marty. Marty is one of the manliest mans there is.

Sinead name. Knockout Sinead name. Larry Johnson, basketball player. Grandmama. Grandmama. My mother, Flip Wilson,

Geraldine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You understand? Bigger than that. Killer, killer, yeah. The whole nine. And so, it's just another,

you know, another way to take shot at people that they want to. And what's heartbreaking for me is younger comedians that's taking these shots at the people that paved the way for them. And it's sick now. Talk to us about the difference between being broke and in debt. Because you said at one point you were in the hole for $3 million.

Yeah, man. See, being broke, that means you just ain't got no money. In debt means even if you got some money, you got to give it to somebody else. You understand what I'm saying? That's the difference on it. And I was in debt because I was playing the game a lot of entertainers do. When I blow, I would take care of Uncle Sam during that time.

And it never came. You know what I mean care of Uncle Sam during that time. And it never came. You know what I mean? And Uncle Sam don't play. So now, you know, it didn't come to fruition on that point of blowing at that point. So now I just put the money to the side knowing, you know, around April, I'm going to get molested. Financially. When Uncle Sam comes, Uncle Sam comes. Oh, he comes.

And they average up. They don't average up. And they let you. See, the thing about Uncle Sam is so good about it. He a sleeper sale. He allows you not to pay him until you fall off. Then he comes see you. And it's not the money that you owe him that gets you.

It's the penalties and the interest. It's usually more than the principal. So the best thing is, so I'm like, okay, once it took me to get out, it took me about six years to get out of that hole. You owe Uncle Sam $3 million? Yeah, I owed him $3 million. Jesus Christ. Got all of it under, you know.

Lord have mercy. Well, Earthquake, we appreciate you for joining us, brother. Man, thank y'all for having me. Please follow me at TheRealEarthquake. And I love you, brother. Keep doing what you're doing, man. Appreciate you, Earthquake. You too, my brother.

How many more weeks you got down there? I think four more. No. Three more? Three more. Three more. Yeah, it's been about three. I really like it, though.

Like Nyla. I see you did a party. What is it, right? Yeah, I just did Ladies Love R&B with Keith, BT, Keith Thomas, BT, B Cox, Avat. Oh, yeah. My homegirl LaPortia was there. Salute to Portia, man. Yeah, she pulled up.

No, I really like Atlanta. It's different than New York's party scene. It's a great party scene. All right, all right. We don't need you to like it too much, okay? Well, no. I still like New York as well, but it's just different, and it's cool to be around your people.

Yep. We all speak the same language, but- You said you're tired of being around all these Spanish people in New York City. You can't take it no more. What? That's not what I said at all. Anyway, being in Atlanta, I think it's only right that I start off with this new Lado and Anissia record

called Back Outside. Yeah, drop one of those bombs on Lado. I like Lado. I saw Lado on something the other day. I don't know if it was something. Tic-Tac. And she might have been dancing I don't know if it was something, Tic Tac. Tic Tac. She might have been dancing to this song

and it was her and all her homegirls and I was like, see, I like that energy. It was just an energy. It is cool. It's Tic Tac

and I see she got a record. You know, J-Lo dropped a record too. She got a record with J-Lo. Salute to Lotto. But also it's the fact that Anissia is from her hometown so she's like

bringing in the next generation even though she's bringing in the next generation, even though she's still young, fresh, and hot. Lotto fire. What dance was that, Charlamagne? That's what Lotto was doing on TikTok. I don't think that's what she was doing. I don't think she was doing that dance.

She was. That wasn't it. You look cool as hell. All right, the next record I'm going to go with is with Rob 49 and Lil Wayne. It's called With Sad Baby. Okay. That is one of the most toxic

hardest lines. For a thousand dollars I call it. It's my grand baby. God damn Wayne. Wayne went crazy. That's sick. He went crazy. He snapped. Ever for a thousand dollars call it my grand baby. That is sick.

You like that line. No, I mean, it's sick. Why would you want to call a woman your grandbaby? Why is that the only line that you remembered from the record? That's what stuck out to me just now. Is that how you pronounce it? Elphaba $1,000, call it my grandbaby. Oh, okay. Well, that's Elphaba $1,000, baby.

I'm trying to say it in the best New Orleans accent I can. Rob Horton and I, Lil Wayne. All right, then I'm going to go with, you were talking about Bobby I can Rob Fortnoye, Lil Wayne Alright, then I'm gonna go with You were talking about Bobby Cotwell earlier A white guy who can sing It's this other guy named Jameson that I just discovered And he got this new record called Love Me It sounds like a little Ray J, Ray J little thing

He's white? Yeah His name is what? Jameson You can't be white and be named after Doc Licker J-M-S-N Nah, you can't be white and named after Doc Licker Call him Absolute or something See, you can't be I'm be named after Doc Licker. J-M-S-N. Nah, you can't be white and named after Doc Licker. Call him Absolute or something.

See? I'm not calling that white man Jameson. His name is Jameson. That's his name, man. That's his real name? Yes. I don't believe that. What is mom and daddy named?

Man, I don't know. Ask Jake what his real name is. Ask Jake. Jesus Christ. You know what? Get it to him. He's heavy neo-soul alternative, but he's a vibe. And then last but not least, I got to shout out this Meg record,

Hiss, that has caused a whole debacle online. I saw you guys talking about it in the rumor report. Well, Megan called up. She called up this morning, and I asked her, was she going to be naming names? And she said, look, all the hit dogs going to holler. Well, obviously, Nicki. I didn't know it was obviously.

That was the least obvious one for me. I didn't know it was obviously, but I that was the least but i woke up this morning i saw it online so she started off the record with these hoes don't be mad at megan these hoes be mad at megan's law so megan's law is the name of a federal law in the u.s requiring law enforcement authorities to make information available to public regarding registered sex offenders and that's that's slick oh okay she didn't have no lines for Party or The Baby. Who's the woman dancing? Who's the woman that made R. Kelly go viral on TikTok?

Who's that for? Um... Don't write nothing else down, J-Pen. So much to say on schedule. Conjugal visits or something. I don't see nothing about R. Kelly, so I don't know.

It's in there, man. I ain't retarded. It's getting weird. It's getting weird now. Oh, we didn't play the record. Oh, let's hear it. I didn't even hear the Megan's Law line when I first heard it. Now I heard it, it make all the sense in the world.

Oh, yeah. She said, a bitch that was dancing, making R. Kelly go viral. Men who hate on BBLs and have the same scars. So those are a couple of the disses. Of course, we know what the JPEG, send money, conjugal visit line is. That's the Tory. Hey, man. All's fair in love and rap.

I mean, listen, I was born in 1978. So there's nothing that somebody's going to say on a rap record that's going to offend me. I just want everybody to keep the same energy for everybody because it feels like there's a double standard a lot of the time. Question, Nyla. Is it fair for Nicki to do the big foot line, making fun of a woman who got shot in the foot by a man?

Is it fair? I mean, there is no fair in the war. Okay, I'm just asking. I'm just asking because when guys do it, everybody gets upset because there's been guys okay i'm just asking just asking because because because when when guys do it everybody gets upset because there's been guys that have done that to make too well i think people are going harder on men doing it because it's a man who shot her or maybe it was a random shot well shouldn't a woman feel more empathy towards a woman but i feel like there should be no gender on empathy like you should just have empathy towards somebody going towards something regardless if it's man versus woman but like see what you're saying it's

war so it's kind of like and by the way we all full of it because everybody can say something that hurts your feelings i i don't have any feelings what that i show so you'll never so you'll never see me you don't react like that in public. But everybody has something that is their thumbscrew that will, like, piss them off in some way, shape, or form. So are you saying that the law thing is Meg's? No, I'm saying we're all saying all's fair in love and war until somebody says something we don't like about us. And then we're like, that person went too far. Okay. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, it's messy. That's all it is. It's mess. It's messy. There you go. Now we talking. It's messy. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, it's messy. That's all it is. It's mess. It's messy. There you go. Now we talking. It's messy. It's mess.

It ain't no point to try to make any logical sense of it. It's mess. It's a whole bunch of noise, and people are entertained. But do you think it's going to be just like a, because you think it's just going to be mad beef records coming now for Nicki? I'm all for it. If they keep it in the article, I'm all for that. As long as it does.

Envy said something earlier that's true. When we say keep it on records nowadays, we're not even talking about street stuff. No. We're talking about don't do none of the goofy stuff like go to social media and get on Instagram live. Tweets. Don't be tweeting. Don't be doing sketches. Get in that booth and make some records.

Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.

Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat.

Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
