Now I didn't want to do HBCU nights to get y'all to come to the games because they don't have no more star power there. So now I didn't want to do things. No, they did HBCU nights to get y'all to come to the games because they don't have no more star power there. So now I didn't want to do things. Nah, they did HBCU night before. It's the first time I DJ'd though, but it was packed. Exactly, they had a white person DJ at HBCU night. No, it wasn't. It was rammed. It was packed in there

So if you turn up, you make sure you ain't got nothing to do tomorrow. You can smoke, you can enjoy. And of course, New York, you can smoke. You don't get arrested for it. So when you go do your smoke break this morning, no cigarettes. Do that.

Y'all really want that on this Friday? No, no, no. Why not? Well, here's the thing. Damn, B-Boy. You might turn up too crazy. No, no. This brings me to a certain level.

That's why I might smoke a little bit, but I'd be so, like, happy to just be here, and I don't want to go to the next level. I've been to the next level with y'all, and I like this level. Let's do Wake and Bake. Why not? Wake and Bake, we can. But as you see, everything is based around cause. Turbo Blue, Demon Time.

It's based around Demon, too. That's Demon Time. You know, the cause. You know, the challenger, the demon. I ain't gonna lie. That new weed too strong to be smoking in the morning. I don't know how y'all do it. I ain't gonna lie. That's demon time. You know, the car. You know, the Challenger, the demon. I ain't gonna lie. That new weed too strong to be smoking in the morning.

We gotta stop with the cigarettes, man. That's the cigarettes of discussion. It's the same thing. It's horrible. It's horrible. I'm ashamed of myself. Well, we got front page news next. We'll tell you what Biden is about to do.

And this is courtesy of my source was Telemundo. Yes. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. He's in the outfits and stuff after a while. Fred and Bonnie were a couple. What are y'all talking about? The two wives were a couple.

I ain't even saying we'll have a gay old time. Exactly. I'm trying to, Ray J was saying that, you know, Fred Flintstone would always say

we have a gay old time. And I'm like, that's because Fred and Barney were a couple and the two wives were a couple. How did you start

talking about that? I mean, you really think so? I got to rewind the tape because now that I'm a little more educated in life and how it go in the real game, especially in the G game, yeah, I got to look at it again and see. I'm telling you, man. I got to analyze for Flintstones.

Sing it. We'll have a... You got to do it. I'll do the acapella. I'll do the alto. I just did it. I did it the alto. I just did it. I did it one time. But I did it.

We'll have a gay old time. It's like Frank Sinatra. We'll have a gay old time. They didn't do it like that in the song. I've been in Vegas a lot. Let's get into front page news. I'm sorry, you guys. I don't know what I said.

So good. Congratulations to the New York Giants coach, Brian DeVoe. He was press coach, associatedated Press Coach of the Year. So congratulations to him. We've got to salute him, of course, because I'm a Giants fan. No, we don't. We've got to talk about it. We've got to mention it.

No, definitely got to mention it. Now, we've got audio? Okay, let's play it. What an honor this is to be standing in front of you guys tonight. It's awesome. Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Jim Brown. What a great honor. I'm appreciative of this award. I want to thank the Mara family, the Tisch family, Joe Shane, all the scouting staff, the support staff, the club, the fans, the voters, and particularly the players and the coaches. They're the ones that wind up here.

Congratulations again to the New York Giants. Go Cowboys! Now, Brett Favre, he is suing Shannon Sharp and Mississippi State Auditor Shad White. That's because Sharp called Favre a sorry mofo to steal from the lowest of the low and that Favre stole money from people that really needed the money. Man, I thought he called him a scumbag or something yeah so uh he is suing those brothers right there yeah i mean that is i mean you know i gave brett fav donkey the day too but i mean in reality that is kind of you know defamation if you say he if you say he stole but that that's not that's not exactly

accurate right you know what i mean you can't say he stole yeah that's a different thing but did they say allegedly they just went right with it but i don't even you can't even say allegedly like you have to you know break down what happened in the situation is the situation shady as hell yes but you got to break it down you know for legal purposes you got to break it down correctly you can't just say he he stole all these money from people you can't say that that. Right. Is he even tripping though? He's good. Who? Far. He don't care. I don't think he care about the money. He care about his name. Oh yeah.

He paid some of the money back. The only thing he hasn't paid back is the interest. Well he paid all the money back except for the interest that he owes. But is what he's saying like gonna affect anything? I don't think you know the story. I don't think you even know what we're talking about. You're right. You know what? Listen, listen, listen. I'm going to keep it real.

I'm going to put on my glasses because I've been under a rock with those. So you're right. So let me be quiet and just do what I do because I might not have. Yeah, well, Brett Favre was linked with a Mississippi governor who was at the center of a $5 million welfare scandal. So some text messages that he sent linked him to the situation. And basically it was a scam that diverted funds intended for welfare recipients. Diverted funds to build a volleyball facility in Mississippi. And so Shannon Sharp is the main one that is going to bring the truth?

No, he just said, sorry, mofo to steal that from the lowest of the lowest, throw money for people that really needed it. And that's why it's getting sued. And lastly, we got to say, as I was watching Telemundo, Joe Biden talked about if he's running for 2024. So you've said now multiple times that you have an intention to run for reelection, but you haven't made the decision yet. What's stopping you from making that decision?

I'm just not ready to make it. There's no motive behind that? No. How do you win Democrats again? Many of them are concerned about your age. Well, that's not what I hear. Look, do you know any polling that's accurate these days? You all told me that there's no way we were going to do well

in this off-year election. I told you from the beginning we were going to do well. You all told me I couldn't win the general election. We did well. I feel good about where we are. I feel good about the way things are, and I feel good about the reception I get. But look, it may be that I run and I get clobbered, and if I run, I win. I mean, that's not my motive. That's not the base upon which I make the judgment. I don't care. Yeah. He was sleeping.

That's why they call him Sleepy Joe. That's why he don't know why you want to run. We know why you're thinking about not running. Because you're old. It's okay. Ray J, man, looking big through this morning. Well, because I got RADD. And that's a real thing.

And a lot of people don't understand ADD and ADHD patients. No, we get it. We get it now. I thought you were just tired. No, I'm up now. Okay. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. It's Friday again. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yeah, I'm there. You're the guys, the best, and the funniest. The Charlemagne.

You too now. Oh, damn. Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. Hello, who's this? Yo, yo, can y'all hear me?

Yeah, we can hear you. Yeah, but it's loud in there, like the air in the back. You should roll up your car window. Take us on speaking Bluetooth if you can. All right, I got it. Yeah, it's a little noisy, but we ain't trying to hang in there. Got it, I got it. It's a little noisy, but we ain't trying to hang in there. I got it. I got it.

I got it fixed up now. But, yeah, I just wanted to get something off my chest. First of all, good morning, everyone. Good morning. Morning. This is Corey from the 757, you know. That's what's up. Happy Black History Month, first of all.

So, I just wanted to get something off my chest and ask you all a question. What do you all think is one of the biggest things that's holding us back as black people as a culture like what what is one of the biggest like most detrimental things for us high frutos concert i mean i think it's knowledge and i think we're getting a lot of the knowledge i think we were behind on a lot of different things when it came to uh investing when it came to generational wealth when it came to health when it came to a lot of those things mental health and i think we're starting to catch up my man there's more and more we keep continue to talk about those things i think it's it betters us uh as black people and also when we say behind

on stuff you know we got to be careful with that because we were acting like there weren't systemic things put in the place correct you know to keep us down i don't even want to say we're behind it's just been systemic things put in place to keep us down yes sir i absolutely agree with that i want to pose an additional topic so i think that the the black family tree like the family dynamic has been totally ruined in our in our families, in our neighborhood. And so I wanted to say that I think Nick Cannon might be one of the biggest threats

to black people as a whole. What Nick Cannon do? He was just singing songs. He turned into a singer. I gotta hear this one. Why is Nick Cannon the biggest threat to black people? I mean he how many baby mamas does he have

he cannot support and be there for those kids like he's supposed to be and he's doing this on purpose so I think we should declare him

as a threat to black people to black society you know he's not the first black man out here with that many kids or the first man with that many kids

I'm not messing with you Corey you have a good one man I'm not messing with you that's interesting imagine you tell me I'm not messing with you, Corey. You have a goal, man. I'm not messing with you. That's interesting. Imagine you tell me I'm a threat to society. He went from the culture to Nick Cannon. Nick Cannon, the homie.

He had a family. Shout out to Nick and his whole family. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 if you need to vent. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. 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, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson the First, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

On The Breakfast Club. Now, yesterday we discussed the Billboard Top 50 list with some of your favorite rappers. Jay-Z was number one. Number two was Kendrick and so on and so on and so on. Well, Ja Rule, he didn't like that too much. He didn't make it? No. He didn't make it? No, he didn't make it. At all?

No. Jesus. Ja Rule said, there ain't 50 rappers dead, alive, or waiting to be born better than me. But congrats to everyone on that list. Well deserved. But check my resume. None of those labels should piss off any of the artists because it's all subjective. It's literally just whoever at Billboard sat sat down and put that uh together's

opinion that's it none of it is set in stone but should jive be on that list top 50 rappers of all time i mean depends what the criteria is and that's the that's the other problem like is the criteria lyrics is the criteria uh success if we talk about success yeah are they are they going to expose who actually voted though no who were the voters i don't think it was a vote i think down in a room and decided, you know what, let's put together a list and put it out. Because it's provocative. It'll get the people talking. So give us who are. So we'll know who's actually listening to the music.

Ja Rule should be on our list. Ja Rule should be on our list for sure. Ja Rule should be on our list. Absolutely. Depends on the criteria. Absolutely. No matter what the criteria is. Whose phone is that?

That's Ray's phone. Ray. Absolutely Charlamagne No matter what the criteria is Whose phone is that? Oh That's Ray's phone That's Ray J Ray No that was That was Deion Sanders And Tracy Emmons My bad

I love Listen I love Ja But it just depends On the criteria If the criteria is Discrete lyricists Like discreet lyrics

There's probably I don't know if there's 50 more people That I could put on Than Ja But I can put together A list of lyricists And his impact on the industry.

But that's my point. That's why I said, what the criteria is. Ja should be on there. Depends what the criteria is. But he should be on there no matter what. He's in there. He's in there. Even lyrics. You could say that Ja has a bunch of better lyrics than a lot of some of these artists on there. But if I had to write a top 50, I don't know if I can get

49 better than Ja. But Ja would probably make towards the end. Come on. Ja should be on that list. I don't know if I can get 49 better than Ja. No. But Ja would probably make towards the end. Come on. Ja should be on that list. What's up with lyrics? No, I know. Now, Gucci Mane,

we got to congratulate Gucci Mane and Keisha K.R. They just had a little baby girl yesterday. Congratulations to them. Congratulations. Make love to the money. Mm-hmm.

Congratulations. Salute to them and some great news. Now, also, Kobe Bryant. It seemed like his MVP jersey sold for $5.8 million at auction. Yeah, I got it in my car. The signed Game 1 jersey was from Kobe Bryant's 2007-2008 NBA MVP season. Let me tell you about one of Ray J's caps.

This one may or may not be cap. Ray J said behind the scenes that he had two signed Kobe Bryant jerseys from when Kobe Bryant took Brandi to the prom back in the day. No, not when she took her to the prom. That is what you said. He was hanging out. See, that's what I don't like about Ray. He said one thing behind the scenes. He said when he took her to the prom.

So that means he took her to the prom and signed my – no, he did it after that when he was in L.A. They was hanging out. That ain't how you made it. I don't know how you made it. See, that's what I'm saying. All he said was – Wait, wait, wait. So he takes her to the prom and when he was in L.A. They was hanging out. That ain't how you made it. I don't know how you made it. See, that's what I'm saying. All he said was – Wait, wait, wait.

So he takes her to the prom and then he just – That's what you said. He wasn't even there yet. And I'll tell you the other part Ray J said. But Charlamagne, he wasn't even – He wasn't on the team yet. So what? You just said he signed the jerseys.

He signed them like – You're a liar. Exactly. Now you – Now he really making me know he a liar. What? How the hell he signed jerseys? He wasn a, like... You're a liar. Exactly. Now you're really making me know he a liar. What? How the hell he signed jerseys? He wasn't in the league yet. Or was he? No, he wasn't in the league. No, no, no. That's what I'm saying. They went to the prom and then

they started talking when he got to L.A. And so he would pull up at the crib. He signed a few jerseys. He was hanging out. Somebody do the timeline. I need this timeline. Was Kobe signed to the Lakers when he took Brady to the prom? No, he wasn't. He was still in high school. This was the year he was about to go to the league. Charlamagne, I'm telling you. I need this timeline. Was Kobe signed to the Lakers when he took Brady to the program? No, he wasn't. He was still in high school. This was the year he was about to go to the Lakers.

Charlemagne, I'm telling you. I was there. I lived it. Charlemagne be making me think that. He did sign jerseys for you, though. Honestly, yeah. But honestly, you be making me feel like, wait, am I even saying it? Am I lying?

And he said, I wore the jersey. He said, man, I was so stupid. I wore them to play ball. He did say that. I did. I didn't. Come on. Man, I'm stupid for that.

Rest in peace, though, Kobe. Greatest of all time. All right. Well, lastly, Nadeska got a chance to kick it with Rihanna, and she talked about a lot of things like performing at the Super Bowl. I was like, you sure? I'm three months postpartum. Should I be making major decisions like this right now?

I might regret this. But when you become a mom, there's something that just happens where you feel like you can take on the world. You can do anything. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world. So as scary as that was because I haven't been on stage in seven years, there's something exhilarating about the challenge of it all. And it's important for me to do this this year.

It's important for representation. It's important for my son to see that. Now she also talks about giving that Caribbean feeling as well. So I'm wondering if you're hoping to incorporate any elements of Caribbean culture in the performance. I mean, that's a big part of why this is important for me to do this show. Representation, representing for immigrants, representing for my country, Barbados, representing for black women everywhere. I just I think that's that's really important. That's key for people to see the possibilities. And I'm honored to be here. I'm honored to be doing this.

What's the cultural significance for you performing at the Super Bowl halftime show? I mean, it's a long way from home, right? I could have never guessed that I would have made it here. I'm really excited to have Barbados on the Super Bowl stage. Yes, I'm excited to see her this Sunday. So make sure you tune in to the Super Bowl Sunday and check out Riri. The game starts at 6.30 Eastern time. What a great person. And that is your rumor report.

Now, when we come back, we got to talk about, would you try a Chick-fil-A sandwich and no chicken? Well, I like Crystal. Okay, but we'll talk about it when we come back. It's the cauliflower sandwich? I seen that, and I went, you know what? That's why Crystal is up 44% because of the breakfast and the side chicks that I like over there. So I don't know.

Maybe I'm biased, but I just think Crystal better. All right, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's D-E-J-N-F-A-S-T. Morning, everybody. It's D-E-J-N-V. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got our guest host, Ray J. here. Shout out to Dr. Rubenstein. Rubenstein. Dr. Daniel. He going by Dr. Daniel now. My brother. We were saying Steenstein. Steenstein, yeah.

Well, let's get into some front page news. Dr. Daniel. Now, Democrats want to ban kids from playing tackle football which i actually kind of agree now what this is what they're saying they're saying if your children are under 12 12 and under they will ban uh playing tackle and it would just be flag i agree with that i think 12 years old is is under 12 years old you're still growing your brain is still growing and to be getting hit and tackled i think that might be a lot. You said Democrats. Like, Democrats, that's so broad.

It says New York. It says the Democrats. I guess Democrats are trying to pass a ban. Where, though? Legislation starting in New York. That's insane. I didn't even know they could intervene and stuff like that. Like, I would feel like that would be up to, you know, somebody's personal discretion.

On whether or not they want kids to play football. And they said the John Mackey Youthful Protection Act, and that's named after an NFL player from New York, died from CTE in 2011. So now they're trying to ban it. And I think it makes sense. I mean, I think under 12, if kids are growing, I mean, my son played tackle early. Jackson, who is nine, he's been asking to play tackle. And I still haven't been flagged for playing.

Are they getting hit that hard with their kids? It seems like most CTE cases happen later on when they're in college and NFL. No, but you got to also think some of these kids are not the same size. You could have a bigger kid and hitting the smaller kids. I played tackle. See? I played tackle for like two days. See?

Two days? How many times you got hit? Well, I jumped up against the ball. He hit days How many times you got hit Well I got Well I jumped up I hit the ball He hit me I flipped around And then I was out

My mama put me out How old were you then I don't even remember It was a It's a blur See Do you Do you

See Do you Do you believe me See That one I believe That one you believe Are you telling me That you got CT

At a young age Is that what you're saying? No, no, no. I just said I got... I just was talking about plant tackle. Okay. All right. Now, Chick-fil-A, they have a new sandwich, but it has no chicken in it.

It's called the cauliflower sandwich. It's being tested in three cities right now. Denver, Charleston, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Oh, 843. Y'all got to tell me how that tastes. Man. The cauliflower, that don't sound appealing to me. It don't sound good to me either.

Nah. I hate it. You go to Chick-fil-A for chicken. I'm all about Crystal. I'm all about the side chick at night and the sun riser in the morning or the chick biscuit. They got the new chick biscuit. They got the new sun riser. Ooh, the new Sunriser.

You know I'm down for Crystal's. I think we got Crystal today. Crystal's is up here cooking right now. Oh, my God. We got Crystal up here cooking today, right now. Yeah, up here cooking right now. It's our guy JC. JC!

Yeah. You got the big dog today up here with us, too. Yeah, Crystal's is up here cooking right now. Crystal's is up here. Let's bring some food in here. I'm so hungry. Is it done yet? That food's almost done. I think they preparing it for us. They're going to up here cooking right now. Crystal is up here. Let's bring some food in here. Crystal. Is it done yet? I think they're preparing it for us.

They're going to do it the right way. Now, lastly, this is just a story that I have to report. It's sad. I know it's a Friday, so let's take it serious. Now, a New Jersey girl, she was 14. She got into a fight. A bunch of students attacked her, hitting her with a water bottle as she walked with her boyfriend in a school hallway.

After the video went viral of that the young girl she got jumped by girls yeah after the video went viral the young girl actually committed suicide i'm sure because of the embarrassment now let me ask you a question in a case like that young girl walking with her boyfriend bunch of girls jump up shouldn't that boyfriend be allowed to defend her in that situation? Yes. Isn't that a time where you'd be like, look, man, I get it, if he put his hands on them women? Yes. I would think so, right?

Yes. I agree. Because look what this led to. Yes. A suicide they said her father believes was fueled from long-time bullying. Bullying online, I'm sure. Adriana Kutch, she attended central regional high school in berkeley township she was found dead at home two days after the the february 1st assault man

god bless her man that's horrible man and and praying for the parents praying for the family praying for the friends she got oh you said she got jumped at in school or that was in the street they said uh the video showed several students attacking the teen, hitting her with a water bottle as she walked with her boyfriend in a school hallway. Where was the teachers? I don't know. Not over the boyfriend. See, now it's a dad. Oh, man.

Now it's a dad, right? These kids assaulting my daughter. Man. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? Because you want to beat the kids up and beat the kids up. Yeah, you got to go beat their daddy up. kids yeah absolutely you gotta go beat their daddy absolutely yeah go beat their daddy let's play the news report to get the full everything you got the dad yeah let's play the father's

loved life she was the happiest kid i mean everybody loved her they just kept at it after they jumped her they just kept sending her videos, and then they would take, like, screenshots of the videos because the videos kept getting taken down, and then they would write nasty comments on it. The superintendent of schools tells CBS 2 News, we always address every issue of bullying, and on the day of the incident, four students were suspended. Kirsch says police should have been called immediately

because the students, who he says his daughter had been having problems with, smashed her face with a 20-ounce bottle. He also says his daughter, who had bruises on her body, should have been taken to the hospital. The school lied to me. They did not tell me she was assaulted with a weapon. They didn't tell me she blacked out. They didn't call the police, even though they had a police officer in the school. They did not file a report. They told me that was not their policy that's horrible man terrible man i feel so sorry for that young girl man i mean not only did she get jumped in she got to deal with the embarrassment of the bullying but then also the fact that they kept sending her pictures they kept taking it down they kept sending her pictures and screenshots but the fact the school

did nothing like how many times does a student have to complain, our parents have to complain before people actually intervene? And then when something like this happens, everybody just got their hands in the air like, oh, well, sorry? That's all you're going to give me after something like that happens? Nah, I'm with you. I got to drag your kids and drag you as parents. Come on, man.

Nah, because... Come on, man. Come on, man. And people say, well, why are you so serious? Why are you so light-skinned you why are you so serious why are you so light skinned why are you so petty because that's my babies well light skin ain't got nothing to do with that you're a parent kind of like went in there like you could have left you could have left to that parent bro yeah it was kind of like worse but i go that was forced right

You said you put a little pork in your mouth. Y said pork. No, you did not. You want some of the pork sausage? It came out different. You said you put a little poke in your mouth.

Well, thank you. Salute to Crystal. All right. I'm about to tear this sandwich up. Now, when we come back, 800-585-1051. It's Friday, so you know what that means. It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. Now, Ray J has come with another topic.

Man, Ray J. Ray J, you want to talk about the topic, Ray? Yeah. Swallow first, Ray. Swallow. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, yo.

Can y'all be grown? It's crystal. Hey, yo. It's crystals. Come on. Y'all breaking records tonight. Hey, yo. Everybody has a look. on. Y'all breaking records tonight. Hey, yo. Everybody has a look.

Leaving and coming out. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. What's the topic, Ray? What's the topic, Ray? You were talking about this yesterday. Balls effects, too?

Fellas need to stop talking about these beautiful women and their bodies and what they're doing. Because, fellas, fellas, guess what you're doing out there? Do not take another bite of that. Finish with your statement, man. It's just good. Basically, what Ray was telling us yesterday was that some women be having a problem with body odor, right? Correct. He said it's the guy's fault.

That's right. He said it's the guy's fault. I didn't say some women have it. I say that when I'm with my friends, and they telling me like, man, I was with this girl, and I was like, the first day I was going in, it was bomb. The second day, it was great. Third day, fourth day, I don't know. It was a little off.

Look, bro. It's you that's polluting the vagina. Are you saying that men are knocking women's pH balances off? They just polluting it. They bad men are bad people. So what are we asking? 800-585-1051. They dirtying up that clean woman. So basically you're saying that

women's vaginas, when they have like the body odors and stuff like that, it's because it's the men's fault. Men are polluting the vagina. Men are the reason why... Would you stop chewing and just swallow so the people could actually hear you? Yo, yo, I'm going to try to. The crystal's so good. But the problem is, is that fellas don't take accountability for not being clean.

And then they want to blame it on a woman because they've been in it and not really looking at themselves and looking in the mirror. All right. OK, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Women, do you agree with Ray J? Do you feel like your pH balance is off? You got a little odor because your man is messing up. He's polluting your vagina. Blaming vaginal odor on a man

is crazy. We're going to talk about it when we come back. Swallow because people can't hear you. Blaming vaginal odor on a man is nuts. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake that ass up. Now, I ain't about to go crazy, but this is Ray J, and I've officially joined The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Ray J, with us. And it's Friday, so you know what that means. It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. And the Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday question comes from Ray J. Ray J in here choosing violence early in the morning. That's right.

He wants to highlight you, you brothers out there, because he says, you brothers are messing up the pH balance for these women, and you are causing stinky vaginas. No, it's just a casual con combo that men have about certain things and certain you know, I guess experiences that they have with whoever they wit. I just don't appreciate them all the time always like complaining about something or somebody knew

that they wit and then not taking accountability. It's like if you was in it the first day and it was great second day it was great. Third day it was kind of like curving. Fourth day it was like I get it was great third day it was kind of like curving fourth day it was like that's it i get it when you when you explain it like that it makes sense because we had uh read our board up you can attest to this two of uh our homies up here that work here sim and sid they were having this discussion they were having this discussion the same exact discussion about when you know a woman has body odor and experiences body odor a

lot of times it's because of what the man is doing. Correct. You know, outside of their relationship. I'm smarter than what y'all think. You know what I mean? We call you smart, right? But I'm real smart. So there is something to this conversation.

It just sounds crazy to blame a man for a woman's vaginal odor. I think it sounds crazy for a man to blame a woman for him being in it. And then now it's wrong in his mind. He should be just selling himself and enjoying it. The way you explained it makes sense. If the first day out, it was cool. Second day was cool. Third day was cool.

Fourth day is eh? That's what I'm saying. It might be you, especially if you're out here creeping around with other women. Even third day, even second day, have you been in it all day? Hello? Hey, my name's Mel.

Mel, talk to us. Hey, my name's Mel from Wine Day. I was going to say, yo, what happens when a woman stinks from the beginning? Because it's not always the time. That's on her. That ain't you. That ain't how I do it to you. If, my name's Mel from Wine Niche. I was going to say, yo, what happens when a woman stinks from the beginning? Because it's not always the time. That's on her. That ain't you. That ain't got nothing to do with you.

She stinks from the first day. This generation of women are lazy, and they want to live a soft life. I don't agree with that. I love my women. No, no. But that's what I'm saying. The way you explained it makes sense. But if it happens from the start, that ain't got nothing to do with you.

I know, but I'm saying my point was that. It wasn't the other point, of course. But you're not adding something to that, Ray. If you sleep with her for four days in a row and on the fourth day it stinks, what else have you been doing as a man? Because if you've just been with her, it shouldn't be no issues. But if you've been with other women, you're bringing other things back to her. Now, Ray, I know you're married.

Now, before you were married, have you ever had stinky poom poom? I've had my share. And did you still go in? Your share? I mean, I'm... You and Jackie Long got to stop sharing women, bro. There's no way. I said I've had my share.

Meaning you had... But why? And you still did it. Meaning like I didn't share it. I said I had my share of stinky women. I know that. But why you had so many? Share means like you got a...

A couple. Equitable stake. I mean... And why you still do it? If it's stinky, you still go in? So you started a problem. I was young. You asked me before time when I was young and reckless.

Young and the reckless. I was not just young and I was reckless. I was the reckless. Let's talk to some women. I don't want to talk to no guys about this. Hello, who's this? This is Nina. How are you guys?

Good morning. Talk to us. Good morning. I'm great. I think you guys are great. Nina. Good morning. Talk to us. Good morning. I'm great. I hope you guys are great. First of all, I'm sorry for breaking. You know you're being so cringy with all that food in your mouth. I told him.

Swallow. I'm sorry. I didn't know I could be seen. I mean, I hear it. No, I'm sorry for smacking. I'm so sorry. No, it's okay. That's bad manners.

I apologize. No, it's okay. It's funny because everybody says I look like your sister. And now that your sister's loved, they're saying I look like her. So I'm like, maybe we're going to meet one day. But anyways, about the topic. So I'm so happy that you guys are talking about this because I'm 30 years old right now. And I have, I feel like have a relationship with my gynecologist where I would call him and he'd give me a medicine because my vagina is smelling like fish.

And it's not because of that. It's smelling like fish. She said fish. It smells like fish. Yes, it's called bacterial vaginosis. Yep. BV. That's what it's called.

It's a real thing. And some of us are very sensitive down there. Even me, when I go in the bath, if my bath is not pH correctly, I'm getting out of there. It's crazy. It's to the point where I had to make my own soap to be able to cure that. So, no, I'm glad this is not even a situation where the men is healthy or not. Because I've been with men that work out every day. That's good.

Okay. It still happens. So, basically, what she's saying is it has nothing it's still still happening so basically what she's saying is it has nothing to do with anybody it's just you that's the way your body is designed yeah i'm not i really think so i feel like mine is very very sensitive well my daddy it doesn't matter how uh-huh my daddy used to tell me if it smelled like cologne leave it alone if it smelled like fish eat all you wish if that makes you feel better if it smells like cologne so you used to so you was asked why did i have my share you you did you take your daddy i'm gonna tell you what my

daddy told me did you have your share uh i mean yeah of course we ran across a couple of them like cologne like that's what i said i had my share you act like i had five thousand like obsession and capital like hey in 2023 that's saying make a whole lot of sense. Yeah, yeah, 2023. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Man, I just, you know, I don't.

Yeah, let's take some more calls. Women. Women, please. 855-1051. Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Our guest host, Ray J, is here. Are we live? And it's Friday, so you know what that means. It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. The Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday question comes from our guy, Ray J. He came in here passionate, and he was saying some of these women stink.

No, I didn't. No, you said it comes from the guy. You said it's the odor. You got to talk to the microphone, Ray J. You got to talk to the microphone. You J. You got to talk to the microphone. You said some of these women stink, and it's the guy that's polluting his vagina. First off, I never ever in my life said some of these women stink. I said that I overhear guys, or I know some of my friends that complain about the girls that they've been in.

No, I didn't use women in the stinking. I never said women stink because women don't stink. Yes, they do. You just had a young lady call up here and tell you that she suffers from bacterial vaginosis. I never said women stink because women don't stink. Yes, they do. You just had a young lady call up here and tell you that she suffers from bacterial vaginosis. I never smelled her. But she's telling you she smelled herself is what she's saying. But maybe she's smelling. I don't want to smell that. But basically what you're saying

is that this is the men's fault a lot of times. Correct. The men be knocking these women's pH balance off. I don't want you to say that I say women stink because that's just a... I'm not saying you to say all women stink. You're saying that women are having a stink problem because of guys. You actually used the word pollution. No, I said guys are polluting the vagina. Yes.

That's what I said. Okay, that's what he said. It's vagina pollution. For men? Yeah, for men. Men are polluting the vagina. Okay. Women don't stink to me.

Now, I don't know who y'all been around. That's what I'm saying. You just asked me about my share. Now, y'all acting like. I'm married. I'm a married man, sir. So then what y'all acting like I'm married I'm a married man sir So then what y'all saying? I don't know what you're saying

I ain't saying nothing Cause my woman don't stink Okay Your women I said my woman don't stink Oh You are just So I'm just saying

So y'all around stinky women? I don't know what you're talking about You brought up this topic You did bring up this topic But y'all don't want to answer the question I'm asking y'all as my friends I've never smelled Oh no

I've met women that got body odor I'm saying y'all But that's because you the question. I'm asking y'all as my friends. I've never smelled. Oh, no. I've met women that got body odor. I'm saying y'all just. But that's because you know some of these women be going natural nowadays. A lot of these women be going natural nowadays and be trying that rock deodorant. Sometimes your natural don't work. And putting crystals under their arm instead of actual deodorant. Black soap don't be working. DJ Envy and Charlamagne, you guys are good.

He want to know why. Uh-uh. See, my poom-poom don't stink. I've never talked about your stuff. I don't know what it... All right, go ahead, Sasha. It's okay. Sorry, Sasha.

I already get it. No, you good. But I just want to, I know that for a fact that the way that a man's diet is, what he eats, how much he drinks, how much he smokes and stuff like that can affect his semen, which in turn, if you are having unprotected sex, can affect the smell of a woman. That is very true. But I want to ask you this question. At what point do you blame it on the man? At what point is it the man's fault or your fault?

When you realize that he's smoking 30 blends a day and drinking a gallon of alcohol at night, then you realize, okay, it can't just be me. Yeah, I think it's always been blamed on the woman, but it's not them, and the men need to recognize it. It's honestly not. Yeah, the men need to just be me. Yeah, I think it's always been blamed on the woman, but it's not them. And the men need to recognize it. It's honestly not. Yeah, the men need to just take accountability.

That's all. Like, it's not just. Right, granted. Go ahead. I'm sorry, love. Women, we have a part in that as well, like making sure that our bodies are clean and healthy and all the things. But if we know that we're taking the steps to make sure that our cells are clean then at that point there's the only other option is the man and stop giving these ladies cathomigo vaginosis brothers jesus this is crazy

jesus thank you that's all i wanted this is crazy that's all i wanted was to talk tell the men to stop stop blaming the women on what they doing amani good morning take us off i'm here i'm sorry good morning amani We're talking about Good morning Ray J was saying Some of you women stink No, why'd you say No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

That's exactly what you said, Ray You said some of you women stink Because guys be polluting them No, I did not I said men are polluting the vagina Okay, Imani, talk to us Ray, are you finished or are you done? It's the same thing

Okay, so medically speaking Ray J is correct, but also it's wrong in a way because any foreign object that enters a female's male secretion is going to throw off a woman's pH down, making

her sick. So even if the man is healthy? But it's also a woman's responsibility to take care of herself. So you can't say that it's mainly a man's blame, but they don't hurt. Now, that's the, what's your name again?

Imani. Imani. This is the conversation I was having yesterday when two of the homies was up here discussing this.

Two ladies were up here discussing that. I'm like, yo, at some point it's kind of crazy to blame a man for your body odor.

It's true because there are things that are out there that can help that. As well, if you are in touch with your OB, getting yourself checked, you should be taking care of them. True indeed. I never

said anybody stink. I love that gynecologists are called OGs. It's OG, right? No. It's not OG? No. I just never used the word stink before. O-O-V. O-O-V. O-O-V. Yes, O-V. Oh, my bad.

What is wrong with you? Stink never came on my mind. If you an O-D-B, you got to go see your O-B. I never said nobody stink. I never said nobody stink. If you an O-D-B, you got to go see your O-B. So what's the moral of the story right there? The moral of the story was that men men have to start taking taking accountability for certain

things they do i didn't say they were they it was all the time it just was the conversations i was overhearing about them and the timeline of it which i explained in the beginning of of of my pitch it was plain and simple it was it was the it was the third fourth day kind of thing they felt you they got you envy envy was really giving me a headline. You know what I'm saying? That I never said. Technically, you're saying that some of these women smell.

No, no, no. Men are saying that. And they are the reason. I never said that. I'm saying men are talking smack. Some of your friends are saying some women stink. No no they're saying that the the the the the thing the the vagina was yeah it was off and and they don't understand and and i'm trying to do the math with them and i'm like bro the fourth day like you've

been in it every day all day come on bro it's you don't don't dis her like that when we come back we got we got back we got the rumor report, and we're going to do some Ray J trivia when we come back. I never said nobody stinks. You did. Ray J trivia when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart?

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

We are The Breakfast Club. Ray J is our guest host today. I don't know where Ray at. He probably had to run to the bathroom real quick. Yeah, you know what? I wanted to kind of do a game, play a game with Ray. How well does Ray know Ray? How well does Ray know Ray?

Like, ask him different questions about things in his life and see if he actually remembers notes. He lies so much. See, here's the thing about liars, right? You know, when you don't lie,

you don't have to remember what you said. Correct. You know what I'm saying? So he probably will have a difficult time with this question. And Ray not a liar. You know what I'm saying? So he probably will have a difficult time with this question. And Ray not a liar.

You've been calling him a liar all morning. He just slightly cap. Slightly exaggerates. Some things I just don't believe. This morning, I'm telling you, the Kobe Bryant story was crazy this morning. Yeah. That was a crazy story. Yeah.

He told us he had two signed Kobe Bryant jerseys. That's Ray right there? Mm-hmm. That's Ray right there? He told us he had two signed Kobe Bryant jerseys that he used to play basketball in. No, I said I played in them. Y'all be adding on. I just said that.

But y'all put the splash on it that he played in both of them. I played in them. I said, man, I think I played in them. And I don't know if it's like worth still. I was trying to get there, but y'all stopped me. But they signed though. Yeah, for sure. Okay, okay, okay.

All right, when we come back, I want to play a little game. So what, you believe me? No. No. We'll do it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on, let's go. All right.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Of course, Ray J is here. Are we live? I guess so. We are live. Now, Ray J, now he lying.

He did eight. I did eight, fam. Eight what? live? I guess so. We are live. Now, Ray J, now he lying talking. He did eight. I did eight, fam. Eight what? Fam, I did eight. I did a hard eight. Wait till I put together this cap video. I did a, fam, Lamar, I did a hard eight. Now you screaming out Lamar from BMF? Nah, that's Lamar and my people. Alright, so, Ray J. You do look like Lamar

from BMF. Ray. So, Ray, we want to know how well. I did eight hours. You know Ray. All right? Is that cool? We want to know how know you well. We just want to know how well you know yourself.

Willie Ray. Oh, wait. So, y'all already had this set up for me? Willie. Big Willie. Turn up a little bit. This is a transition y'all had? Yeah.

So, now. About 13 years ago, 12 years ago, you called the radio station and you told us two different numbers that equaled to nine. But we want to know how many Rolls Royces did you say you had? I heard seven. Take the joints out your mouth, Ray. This is DJ Indy's product. This is the radio. Seven.

And that is wrong. What did he say, ladies and gentlemen? All my cars is paid for. I got three new Rolls Royces outside. And I'm tired of being humbled. I got six Rolls Royces outside. Listen, my homegirls is rolling GT Bentley. So, actually, he had eight cars.

First off, let me say this. I'm ashamed of myself for that. You had eight cars. Because you had six Bentleys and two Rolls Royces. I was in my mind. I was everywhere. I could fly. Okay. I could fly. Now the next question. People know not to disrespect you and Floyd Mayweather

because you do what? A. Roll with the money team. B. Play piano on that piano. Or C. Play spades with 50 cents. I don't want to do none of that with neither one of them. 50 don't play spades, 50 cent? I don't want to do none of that with neither one of them. 50 don't play spades, do we? I play spades with 50.

What's the answer? A, B, or C? I play spades with 50. You lied so much. You said you did. Five. I play with you. What did he say?

Look, don't disrespect me and Floyd like that. I play piano on that mother piano every day. That's my big brunt. We grew up together. Okay. You said you played, you did tell me you played Spades with 50,

but you said 50 kept trying to draw four. Man. That's what you told me, Ray. Man, y'all out here. Ray told me that behind the scenes. All right. Wait, wait, wait.

Is this? All right, now. Oh, is this the cap? Is this cap? Is this cap hour? It's been cap week. Man, look, man. Now, wait, wait.

We got another question. I came in here today to be a positive influence to myself. We're talking to Ray J. Now, Ray J. Why y'all going back? None of those, like, all the rants, I don't even deal with them people. This one you should get right. According to you, who was the only person that had the power to squash the beef with you in Fab?

Was it A, Diddy, B, 50 Cent, or C, DJ Clue? Well, Diddy had the, 50 Cent, or C, DJ Clue? Well, Diddy had the power too, though. But, I mean, it was probably Diddy because Clue didn't squash it. Go ahead. Clue didn't squash it. If Clue can't squash this,

then it's over. Only that can squash this is DJ Clue. Okay. It was probably Diddy then. I just want you to know, Ray, I think you're more than this rant, Ray.

All right. I believe in you, Willie. We got two more questions. Tell me what the rant did. We got two more questions. I believe in you know, Ray, I think you're more than this rant, Ray. All right. I believe in you, Willie. We got two more questions. Tell me what the rant did. We got two more questions. I believe in you, Willie Ray. You tried to get Charlamagne involved by saying you were going to give him which type of car? The Phantom, the Lambo, or the Ghost?

You guys are bad people. I'm not doing this, Ray. Which one is it? Which one is it? I have nothing to do with it. The Phantom, the Lambo, or the Ghost? I don't remember, man. Pick one.

The Ghost. Ding, ding Lambo, or the Ghost? I don't remember, man. Pick one. The Ghost. Ding, ding, ding, ding. I'm right. I'm going to hop in the Cadillac truck. I'm going to throw the keys to Charlotte, man. You can have my Ghost. Then we're going back to back it. And wherever we see Fab and his crew, we're going to smack them.

No, no, man. I'm not involved. All right. And I think that still stands. Don't put me in this. Let me tell you something. You know, I've never listened to that thing all the way back. You know what I'm saying?

It hurts me. It hurts me that y'all taking me back like this. I'm not doing this, Ray. I'm reformed. This is Envy's idea. It's the last question. First off, I'm reformed. This last question.

Rehabilitated. Yeah, I'm rehabilitated. I'm doing a show called Rehab. You mentioned you had a very large house that had great amenities. Oh, man. What were the dope features you said that the house had? I'm so sick of this whole... Was it an indoor bowling alley and an outdoor bowling alley?

Was it an indoor basketball court and an outdoor basketball court? Or was it a couple of pools? Oh, man. It was recreation. Wait, shout out to the people at the time for looking out for me. Christina, what up? I don't know, man. I got what up? I don't know, man. I got ADD.

I don't know, man. Ray DD. Let me tell you something. That time in my life was when I was wild. Give me the bunny glasses. Talk to me the bunny glasses. I was very, very young and wild. So pick one. Was it indoor, outdoor basketball court?

Was it pool? No, it was an indoor pool. Okay. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. You got one right. Listen, it's ding, ding, ding. He got one right. Listen, it's not a 20,000 square foot crib. I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool. I got an indoor basketball court and an outdoor basketball court.

It was BNC. You said both of them. So, look. I would like to move past this phone call for you, bro. But tell me what the interview did. Tell me the overall bunny eyes. What up up jenny she's gonna love that it took us up it did absolutely but you don't really know yourself because you only got two right no no no wait wait wait wait because i knew all of them but look don't it took us up that that like y'all just it took us up you know

what i'm saying like right we've told we had this conversation. We've said this a million times on the air. But nobody listened. No, I agree with Ray. If we're going to keep playing this rant, then we got to tell this story every single time. Yes, please. This is a conversation that, you know, virally, however many years ago.

Okay, so we can tell the story. Ray J was out and about in the club. Billy gave us a call and said, Ray J would like to talk on the radio. He's stepping on your moment, Ray. That's what I'm saying. Let Charlamagne give me my moment. Billy should have hung up.

Billy on the phone like this. Billy should have hung up. He had the power to hit in. Now, if you do your history, even culturally, that was one of the first huge viral moments, period. Ever. In the history of anything. That is facts. But definitely for the Breakfast Club.

That is facts. We were a little cloudy at that time. We were trying to get ourselves together. Stations didn't know what we were. We weren't even syndicated. No, we weren't syndicated. And when that viral moment hit, it opened up a lot of ears,

a lot of eyes to the Breakfast Club. And we're always appreciative to that. We're joking, but we appreciate you for that. You were the first guest before that on the Breakfast Club, and we always appreciate that. We always say that, and we're always thankful to you.

I knew Ray like seven, eight years prior. I've known Ray for like 20 years. So what y'all saying is Ray J is definitely inside of the success bubble with you guys. If you want to be inside us, Ray, sure. Yeah, you can be inside us. I'm a pass on that. What? No, I'm just saying.

So Ray J's in it. Well, you guys let me induct you into the Radio Hall of Fame. Yes, Ray. Oh, that's another thing. That was another thing. Ray did our induction speech for the Radio Hall of fame that was another thing Ray did our induction speech for the radio hall of fame

that is a fact which was dope they asked us who we wanted and it could have been anybody it could have been the likes of Aditi

or 50 or anybody out there that's right I don't know if we would have had Michael now but we asked for you

because you actually meant a lot to the show and we always appreciate you so thank you Ray J Ray been in these streets that's right I done took Ray to buy weed in columbia south carolina yeah i was remember that we was in that promo van i was out there that's what i'm saying like i've been out there and i was wild then you know i'm saying but i'm i've been i was so wild to where now i know

Before after the hour, we need the church in England to come to the front of the congregation. Okay. Can you take them glasses off? I can't talk to you. I think for professionalism purposes, I might do the whole donkey with the bunny please do them please do it all right well we'll get to the donkey today up next and feels will be joining us next you know uh afro beats artists from nigeria yep oh and you know what crystal we found uh the term they voted oh what's the saying what's the what's the saying what were you going

with oh you got the glasses i was gonna go now going to go, now you know, but now you know. Oh, hold on. You got to do now you know. Now you know. There you have it. Donkey of the Day is up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Donkey of the Day. Yeah, you got eyes. You get Donkey of the Day. Yeah, you got eyes. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.

They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlemagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you. There's a breakfast club, bitch. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Donkey of the Day for Friday, February 10th goes to the Church of England,

which is headed by King Charles III. Damn it, Charlemagne. What are you giving the Church of England donkey of the day for? Well, I'm going to just read you this headline in the New York Post, and then you tell me if you want me to continue. The headline reads, Church of England might give God gender-neutral pronouns. Do you all want me to continue?

I don't hear nothing. Gender-neutral pronouns do y'all want me to continue no I don't hear nothing okay gender-neutral pronoun yes yes okay continue all right I will now listen I know religious teachings always refer to God as a hymn okay in more recent times I have pushed back against that because it just feels like a way to reinforce patriarchy I mean the same way white is the default setting in America or in the world okay men leading is the default setting in america or in the world okay men leading is the default setting in the world as well so i personally prefer uh using female pronouns i refer to god as a woman also because the attributes that god possesses grace forgiveness okay in my life i see those exhibited more in women especially black women okay but that's a

topic for another day but what we're not gonna do church of of England, is start referring to God as them and they. That's too confusing. Y'all don't believe me, do you? Let's go to Newsmax for the report, please. The Church of England is reportedly considering the use of gender-neutral terms to refer to God in prayers. Now, as of right now, the church says there are absolutely no plans to abolish or substantially revise authorized services and that no changes could be made without extensive legislation. But a liturgical commission has launched a special project to examine updating future teachings.

So it's being reported that some church leaders have already made changes, trading references to he and him for simply God or even they and them, and rewriting our father, that the lord's prayer to our mother our father and mother that new like it that shut up that new new testament of the bible boy it's gonna be confusing okay let me tell you something man uh i'm all for whatever y'all want to do as humans but we can't start doing that when it comes to god okay and i'm gonna tell you why even though god is all-knowing even though god is the best planner I feel we might confuse God if we start referring to God as them and they okay is all yeah she is okay and I'm

I'm sorry I'm for the sheet thing but the demon day no okay it's too confused all right if we start referring to God as demon a God may not like that because God is a jealous God Exodus 34 14 jay is also a forgiving god and understanding true but exodus 34 14 says do not worship any other god for the lord whose name is jealous is a jealous god you are not supposed to worship any other god okay they and them will sound like you worship in a whole group of people but you said in ex said in Exodus, read a couple of scriptures before the one you said, because that's just out of nowhere. I don't know all the scriptures.

That's what I'm saying. So you can't just pick a scripture in the middle of the Bible. I'm picking a scripture that reinforces what I'm trying to tell you, that God is a just God. But it has to be a before and after, what happened before that Exodus scripture and after. Well, listen to this. Imagine reading Luke 24, 50, 51, right?

And you hear this. And they led them out as far as to bethany and they lifted up them hands and blessed them and it came to pass while they blessed them they was parted from them and carried up into heaven now the dems were already there yeah i just added the days but those days were he's do you not realize how confusing that is but what happened in matthew and mark and luke and john and acts and roman and Acts and Romans and 1st and 2nd Corinthians? I can tell you what happened in Psalms. In Galatians.

I can tell you what happened in Psalms. Philippians. Colossians. We all know Psalm 23, right? The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. What about Psalms 22? Psalm 23, right? Listen.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Say it with me. Say it, Ray. I know it. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. I want to learn 21 and 22. Okay. I need to know what happened before that scripture happened.

Because, you know, in the beginning is where we should start with the Bible if we haven't already yet. That's like reading Charlotte's Web and picking a chapter five. Imagine if Psalm 23 started like this. They maketh me to lie down in green pastures. They leadeth me besides distilled waters. They restoreth my soul. They leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for they namesake god gonna be looking down like okay it's time to pressure wash this whole thing i love the hand

movement with it though it's like you in the zone you know what i'm saying unplug the xbox jesus shall say okay we starting over who is they who is them fools down there you know giving all of these days the credit for my work okay Okay? This is not a group project. I get it. But one quote out the Bible when it's so many, it's confusing to me because it's like, let's read the Bible

from the beginning. You want another one? I'll give you another one. Deuteronomy 7.13. They will love you and bless you and multiply you. They will also bless

the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock and the land which they swore to your forefathers to give you.

Is that not confusing? Doesn't that sound like it's a group project? It does. God will be like, who put this together? Me, that's who, not they. Not they. Okay.

Not them, him. Exactly. There you go, Ray. That's what I'm trying to tell you. They didn't say him. That's what I'm telling you. It's him. Not them.

Exactly. There you go, Ray. Not you. It's him. Not them? Exactly. There you go, Ray. Not Jim? There you go. Exactly. Not Kim? Not them. Preach, Pastor Willie.

I don't like it. Try jangling. Knock the F off. God is all. God told me to tell you, she's sick of all your stuff. Okay, y'all need to stop worrying about what to call God, and folks need to stop saying they're going to find God, because when I hear stories like this, it reminds me that God isn't lost. You are.

Please let Remy Ma give the church in England the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. Find God. Stupid mother f***er. You dumb. God is not lost, Ray. You are. Okay.

I'm going to find myself. All right. When we come back, Fields will be joining us. Fields, of course, Afrobeats, he's from Nigeria. Am I doing this interview? Interview's already done, right?

It's done, right? You left early yesterday and we didn't... You'll be back for Pass the Aux with DJ Nylas. Yeah, but we have Pass the Aux.

I'm doing... We might see if Nylas wants to play the new RSVP. What's it called? For the pastor? For the pastor? Oh, Lord. past the aux i'm doing i'm i'm we might we might we might see if nylan wants to play uh your record the new rsvp art what's it called for the pastor for the pastor oh lord oh goodness gracious god bless him feels up next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club that blew my mind and i'm like you're like this is where we are right now this is the conversation right now and it's just a blessing we don't take for granted at all. And then how does it feel that, you know, they're going to have to change some of these categories.

Like the Grammys and Billboards. They're going to have to make an Afro Beats section because there's so many artists and so much music coming out. Did you ever see that? Yeah, I did. But I got a problem with sections, though. Why? Because, man, like there's so much that the world needs to learn about Afro beats. Like, first of all, man, like it's not a music first.

It's a spirit first. It's not a sound. It starts from the spirit. Like, for you to understand that sound, you need to understand the spirit of like where I come from in Africa and live the life. That's why, like, I would encourage everybody to come to Nigeria. Like, eat the food. Like, meet the children on the street. Like, all love like forget what the we just have bad press but nigeria is amazing um yeah man like you just come like live the life enjoy the spirit and then you

understand the sound what you said just now is exactly why i think uh afro beats are all the subsidiaries of afro beats is gonna end up being the biggest black music genre in the world because you know we have meetings and i'm like man you know sometimes it feels like hip-hop is a is a death style right and the spirit of Afrobeats is so positive it's so pleasant it's it's so uplifting that's the reason I think it's going to end up being the biggest black music genre in the world I appreciate that man I see that happening for sure uh no disrespect to hip-hop but man Afrobeats is different bro bro. Like it's... It's a feeling, like you said.

It's a feeling. It's a spirit. It's triumph. It's how we, you know, stay sane in the face of, you know, hardship and like madness. You get me?

That's why I feel like it's so positive and it's just high energy because like that's how we like, you know, stay sane up here. Like every single Nigerian finds happiness

any way they can and like that's like the most beautiful thing about nigeria i mean like no matter what we go through we find happiness in those situations and like that's the afro spirit and you think the big the big breakthrough for the genre was it's it's a couple of things man it's i mean it's whiskey doing three days at the o2 arena back to back it's you know it's bonoboy winning the grammys it's essence stopping all the chats it's thames becoming thames right now it's davido it's davido you know blowing the roof off everything it's it's crazy man so many moments that has happened that has just you know brought us here and i'm just so i'm so blessed to be one of the people like that are in the

forefront and you know championing this movement i'm moving into the next level for the for the next generation like that's a blessing i don't take for granted how was working with uh they said you work with with diddy and dr dre and a couple other producers how was that explain how those meetings happen yo like it's one of those moments where i actually had to take a break i told dre like you know i just need like two minutes i need to find the rest so dre you need two minutes i'm like I need to go to the restroom. How'd you get into the studio with Dre? How'd you meet Dre? Oh man it was through L.A. Reid. So there was a song I made with Usher that I can't wait for the world to hear

Oh it's not even out yet? No. Oh wow. So I think L.A. Reid played it for Jimmy Iovine and Jimmy told Dre about me and you know Dre asked me to link up for sure and then we linked up in the studio and bro just being with Dre like because I grew up on Dre's music I grew up on the Chronic you get me like so just being in the room with him you know listening to the sound um from his speakers and playing in my songs as well but we're on the keyboard we're playing chords and just you know exchanging like music knowledge and just talking about the genre talking about hip-hop talking about like everything else bro

like i had to just take two minutes to go to the restroom and stare at myself in the mirror and be like okay we are here now you're having like a little anxiety attack or something but that was dr dre bro like for me that's huge huge like i had to go to the restaurant and just get my mind in order and be like okay you are fused that's dre let's go how do you calm yourself down when you're having those anxiety attacks like when you do breathing exercises prayer meditation push-ups where uh sometimes jumping jacks sometimes jumping jacks but like bro like being in the studio with dre and diddy and snoop and tank and everybody and that was the first time um Dre and Diddy ever had a session ever in the history of hip-hop I like oh yeah so

everybody was in there yeah oh yeah it was a deal Dre got a in the studio I think I would have to take a couple minutes we bought the his from Afro Beach by Dre Lucy I think the world is gonna hear that snow let's go but yeah so what's the record is you dre it's dre it's me it's um snoop it's diddy it's tank it's it's just everybody just putting in imputes and just you know just creating arts man yeah whose record is it we don't know yet bro we're just making music so now performing on it though you snoop and tank i was producing as well and i was dropping some vocals as well you know we had you know a bunch of people in the studio Diddy came with

like his writers and producers like it was just a lot of people just creating magic and it was a man it was just a beautiful thing

I gotta hear this now I got a question as a new artist how do you you know because you got these legends right so how do you jump in

to give your point of view on something cause you know with Dre with Diddy they called you but you still gotta feel the way bro I know I know what like regardless of oh yeah like that's Dre oh yeah that's my you

know idol that's Diddy but I know what I carry man like I have the afro spirit in me I like that controls the room anyway like put me in any room bro I got you what do you what elements do you think you know African artists need to do to keep that authentic African sound? Because, I mean, now with it getting embraced so worldwide, I don't want to hear y'all start sounding like other places. Yeah, I feel you. I just think, man, you can never forget home. Like, yes, you know, the outreach is amazing.

Yes, I'm in America. Yes, you know, I'm performing at the Brooklyn Nets game. I'm doing shows. But you can never Ever Ever Forget home Like I would always

Live in Lagos Like I have a House over here In America Or a house in London But I would always Live in Lagos Because like I said

It's the spirit first Before the sound You can never Lose touch with the spirit And that's really Important for me And I think that should Be really important

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

He's Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have Ray J here. He's our guest host. And we have Philz. How do you feel when artists start to adapt to your music, start taking the culture, right? I remember last year, I'll go back to reggae. I think the reggae artist that one was from virginia and they were white and you know reggae artists were upset about that you're making all this upset about that so how do you feel when

you start seeing you're gonna start seeing that more and more and people using it in their stuff the way i see that bro like it's nice man it's beautiful to like you know have other people you know try it out and like you know see how this tastes you get me but like for me like if you're not from the soil it wouldn't feel authentic it might sound the same but there's something about the feeling of africa and the feeling of the afrobeat sound that's just i can give you my laptop and give you all the kits and all the softwares and all the sounds and everything that i use but if you use that and you make a beat or you make music it would not feel like you're from africa or it will not feel like you're from the motherland so like that alone is like for me it's like a safety net because i know that like no matter how you try to like replicate or duplicate this sound you need to connect to the source to

actually get it right you get me so like i respect people trying to like you know get inspired by the sound and create something new and something fresh but i will also like advise you to go back to the motherland first and connect with the spirit then you can be authentic with it why do you think so much is coming out of nigeria right now like why like out of all of the countries in africa why is nigeria the one that's that's leading the charge bro there's always been a lot in nigeria It's not just right now. The street is flooded with talent. A normal kid, a street kid in Nigeria would drop some bars on you and you'd be like, damn. The melodies, the harmonies. And it's not just the music.

It's the art. It's the fashion. It's the food. It's tech. But Nigeria is so blessed. And I'm so grateful that the world is paying attention to us right now. Because then everything can come to the light. And we can bless the world with what we have and like how we grow and how we glow how do you feel about senegal being named is having the best joel of rice i

don't know about that i don't know about that man because nigeria has the best your love right according to me anyway they said senegal i had nigerian rights i had ghana but this study says senegal had the best job i don't know who's carrying out that study man i don't know who's doing that study man but they probably never had nigerian jelof maybe yeah yeah so who's next from nigeria who should the people be watching out people watching this you know they might they they're picking up your project but who's next who they should be looking out for bro there are a lot man um there's a kid named victorny my friend is amazing um there's young john as well young john is amazing there's benson man benson was on finesse benson is amazing as well bro like the street is filled up with talents man there's

damio nero she's amazing as well yeah man gotcha you got uh you got finesse and you got electricity yes yes moving right now why put out out an EP? Why not go album? I don't think it's time for the album yet. Because for me, I've been producing in Africa for 12 years now. And they call me the album guy. Because then artists come to me and be like, oh, yo, I want you to produce my album and the whole entire project. So I feel like for my own personal album,

I'm extra like critical with how i want it to sound and how i want it to like move and i also want to like spoon feed my fans like i don't want to like rush them with too many sounds i want to take it batch by batch and just walk them through my journey and just grow together with them i always wonder what's the difference with like between music when you make an ep or when you're making album to me it's just number of tracks to be honest um yeah but um but the album for me is gonna be more vulnerable that's what i'm trying to get to like um i believe so much in the fact that like the higher i go the more human i want to become i don't just want to be a star that's just up there feeling like superman and feeling untouchable and like i don't have problems or i don't have my errors or my flaws you get me so like that album i'm gonna put all my flaws and all my

you know humanness in that and that's what i'm trying to do but first the ep it feels good man it's called feels good it's about like talking about like three different feelings and how all that feels good like it's the lover boy feeling it's the bad boy feeling you know the homie at the club that just wants to pop champagne and listen to songs like Finesse. Songs like Bowling. Or you want to boogie down and listen to songs like Electricity. Or you want to do slow strokes with the red lights and you and your girl and you listen to songs like Stand By You. Because that one is tested and trusted.

I call it the slow stroke song. It's a song called Stand By You. It's beautiful. You know a lot of women in America think that African men spend a lot of money. Like we had Lala up here. And Lala said that every woman she know got an African man on the side who spends a lot of money. So they're going to be expecting you to trick them to get some of them slow strokes. Yes.

We know how to treat our women for sure. We know how to like take care of, you know, a woman and like spend on her and like make her like appreciate her. Like we have deep respect for women. and I think that comes from our mothers and how we are raised yeah what's the most you ever spend on a woman a couple thousand maybe really yeah car jewelry watch chain no crib chain no bags clothes clothes just shopping when you gave it as she said are you a prince no man i mean like it was it was amazing sex after that so yeah how important is it for black americans and africans to build these bridges i think i think it's the most important thing right now. Because the one thing that I think

I need to say is, yes, the Afrobeat sound is amazing. Yeah, it comes from our soul. But another thing I don't think we can neglect is the impact that Black American music had on Afrobeat. And how we merged sonically.

Because growing up you know like i said i would grow on the chronic i'll listen to you know songs from boys to men like down to gospel songs from donnie mcclurkin and fred hammond and just you know be inspired from that like i feel like um we don't give as afrobeat artists we don't give enough credit to black american music for inspiring us in ways that it did you get me me? Because when you pick Fela, for example, Fela was inspired by jazz and funk. And he mixed that with the Afro spirit and created Afrobeat. You get me?

So I think that collaboration needs to be a lot more right now. There's so much we can achieve together. I feel like the music is bringing us home. Facts. I know that sounds strange to say but like if you hear afro beats you're like i want to go hear this where it's from and when you go and you you're in a ghana and you're listening you're like man i get it now i like when you go to afro chel you're like yo i get it like yeah you know i feel like the music's bringing us back home

i think he really had fun in ghana that's amazing i'm glad you did I loved it. That's amazing. I'm glad you did. I loved it. I got property there and everything. I'm going to get more. I loved Ghana. For real, when they tell you welcome home, it really did feel like that.

Fact. Lagos has to be next for sure. I'm going. This year, we're going to Lagos. Fact. Who's easier to work with, American artists or African artists? Bro, it depends on the artist, man. Everybody has their own different you know personalities and you know aura and vibe and i'm very big on energy so like for me like if the energy is off like it's very uncomfortable for me

to create so i just walk away but yeah like it depends on the artist it depends on the vibe um african artists like they're amazing to work with and there's some people that are as well like this is the same around the world you get me but um like i also like to work with drake as well i have a huge cross on a crush on rosalia so i think we'll make something amazing that's like very royal yeah she's dope but she what kind of really does she have a beat too or no no she's spanish yeah you got a crush on her yes how the af are the African women going to feel about this? I don't understand. They'll understand for sure.

Clearly you single if you're throwing that out there like that. Yeah, it feels a single, you know, ready to mingle. All right, now listen, I want to tell you something. You know,

just keep it business. You got to pick one. You got to pick one. You say you got a song for her, you better have a song for her. You got to pick one. Yeah, I feel you. He said he had something for her. He didn't say it was a song. He said he got a song for better have a song for that Something for you say was a song Yeah, you're trying to be slick you just trying to get her in the studio always man

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Breakfast Club. Appreciate you join us brother the Breakfast Club, appreciate you joining us, brother. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Our guest host, Ray J, is still here. Now, this is a segment where we call Pass the Aux. That's right. And Nyla, our family and friend and resident DJ at times, has stopped by to pass the aux.

And that's what we give her the aux and we find out what's new what's popping songs that we might not know about and she's an actual DJ she's not just some

you know little kid with a playlist like she actually DJs I don't think anybody thought that no she's DJ Nala somebody said that to me last week

they're like why you got that little girl up there doing a play you didn't tell them that I was nominated for DJ of the year talk that talk hey

no nobody told them that hey so Nala. Hey. No, nobody told them that. So, Nala, you a tough critic. So, Nala, what are we getting into today? You got to talk to the mic, Ray J. You've been here all week and still ain't figured that out yet? No, no, no, yeah. Who you got on your playlist this week, Nala? All right, so this week I'm going to start off with one of my favorites coming from the West Coast.

His name is Blast. And my favorite record off his latest project is called pick your poison featuring grandmaster vick okay i like blast okay shout out to blast on the record with kendrick right yes yeah i like that i thought a single i think he had like a top five record last year chosen yeah chosen might have been the number one record too okay what else we got last week you was talking about little yachty you were still riding my yachty how you feeling with the yachty project yeah i decided you know it was Questlove's tweet that made me think, like, maybe I'm missing it.

He said, this is a masterpiece, so it must be a masterpiece. But after listening again, I don't think it's for me. I think that Yachty project is cool creatively, but I don't know

if I like Yachty singing it. Like, if it's somebody else's voice on it, I would probably like it more. Interesting you say that because, you know, Yachty writes for a lot of other people.

Yes, he does. People don't know that. Like like Yachty has written for like some major major he's wrote he's written you wrote on drinks that last project drinks album too yeah so what else we got all right so my next recommendation this week is a smaller artist but he's super super dope he's actually signed to guru his name is Ruben vincent he's from guru as a young guru uh-huh where you at guru guru oh ruben vincent though he told me you know him and rhapsody got a record called february 13th which is fire so let's get into it oh you know right the day before valentine

i'm here for anything with rhapsody on it you know rhapsody is uh my my favorite lyricist of this moment well her and kendrick her and kendrick are my favorite lyricists of this moment but you know what though that's been i've been added to that too i like larusso and i like simba a lot okay a lot lot now you usually do three records nyla yes now uh there's a record that came out today his video came out today and wants to know if you are on his playlist ray j it's not just me though it's ray j sam J., Sammy, Bobby Valentino, and Pleasure P. R-S-V-P. The V is Bobby V. Because his name starts with a B, but V for Bobby V.

Is that on your playlist, Nyla? Don't lie either. Not yet. Don't feel no pressure because Ray J. Not yet. It's okay. Listen, I take good with criticism. You know what I'm saying?

Everybody told me no. And so I'm good with that. You know what I'm saying Like everybody told me no And so I'm good with that You know what I'm saying Okay I'm good with that You ain't said no Well ask her Ask her and she's gonna play it

Well yeah I want you to live with it I want you to live with the video too Because the video might compliment the record It's our bio It's long So it's like a six minute record It is a long record We're not playing a six minute record

No no no listen You can play a cut of it But our main single Is I Like And that's radio. And I think that's going to get an immediate ad. Oh, wait. It's a tape?

Huh? It's a whole album. Oh. We did a whole album. Oh, I saw the single in December. The Money Everywhere. Yeah. Now we just dropping the video, and then from there, we got the first single coming right

talk like that? No, it might. It might. Charlamagne. Charlamagne. It's not just me. It's three other singers. You know what I'm saying?

Okay. Like, Bobby B, Pleasure P, I grew up on these people. That's what I'm saying. I'm a big fan. Yeah, just because I didn't do good at verses. Just because I didn't

do good at verses don't mean I didn't do good right now. Can we play the single? Absolutely. Just because I didn't do good at verses don't mean I didn't do good right now. Can we play the single? Absolutely. Just because I didn't do good at verses don't mean I didn't

do good at it. So can we play the single right now? Absolutely. Do you mind if we put that in your playlist? No, it may not be

on your playlist, but you can play it. Is that my third? If that's my third, I feel like I need time to sit with the single. If that's my third,

I haven't heard it. Okay, do the third and we do a bonus. The bonus can be him. I think you should be the bonus. You'd be a... That makes more sense for you to do. Give us your third and let Ray be the bonus.

You have it. It's okay. The glasses. The glasses. The glasses. The glasses. Introduce the record, Ray. Bunny eyes.

All right, yo, check it out. This is my exclusive premiere. Nobody's seen the video. Nobody's really even heard the record, Ray. Bunny Eyes. All right, yo, check it out. This is my exclusive premiere. Nobody's seen the video. Nobody's really even heard the record, so we're giving it to you first right here. Ray J, Sammy, Bobby V, Pleasure P. It's called Money Everywhere. God is good. All right, what you thought, Nyla?

Don't lie. I'm not. I have no reason to lie. It's not a bad record. I think it would definitely grow on me the more I listen to it. There we go. All right. It's not a bad record. You think it would definitely grow on me the more I listen to it. There we go. Alright. You telling the truth? Yeah. I just want to make sure

my niece tells the truth. You're going to end up telling a lie. No, because I don't want her after the fact to be like I don't like all that nasty stuff. You telling the truth. I mean, it is pretty nasty and it is pretty early, so that's why I'm like, you know, maybe if I hear this around like 9, 10. Oh, so you don't like nasty music?

Not. She said she don't like nasty music? Not. She said she don't like nasty music. It's a time and a place. The morning times are good, the best time. I don't know. I don't think she wants a clip on the side of her at 9 in the morning. But no, it's my thing. It wasn't, not mine.

I'm saying it. Okay, we got it. We got it. I'm not going to lie, the record was alright. I rock with it. It's a good R&B record. The whole album is real R&B, nasty. It's like take you back a little bit into the R&B group feel.

Yeah, yeah. Them first two verses was fire. Who was on the third verse? Yo, shut up, man. Nala, give me a social, Nala. Thank you. What's crazy is Charlamagne ain't even here the second verse. No, he didn't.

Nala, give him your socials. So I'm going to give you the I like, too, because that's the one that's going to go in here every day. OK. So why you didn't play that one? Because it's the single, so I want to do it in order. Got you. You know how sometimes you want to jump the gun? Yeah.

And music, you just got to go with the plan. Nala, can you tell them that's an old school way of doing things? What you mean? Because nowadays, people just put out a project, and you let people pick which record they like. That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm about to give this to you, and then you,

we, I want to. That's not I'm about to give this to you. That's not picking the record. I will. I'll send you the whole thing. I want to flood it. I just got to talk to the team. I want to flood it. I want to drop the project and let them pick it.

But, you know, we all come from different places and, you know, we all one group and we be going at it a lot, but we love each other. You know what I'm saying? So are you pushing I Like and they're pushing something else? No, the Money Everywhere, I just know it's a five-minute song.

So there's really no way to get this one to go every day, all day, the whole song. But it explains who we are and then you drop the like. You got to pay some bills. Can Nyla give her socials? Okay, yeah. But let me know because I spent today at 5 p.m. Oh, yeah, that's going to go in there. Oh, you want Angie Martinez today?

I want Angie Martinez today. But make sure you guys follow me on the gram at Nylah Simone, N-Y-L-A-S-Y-M-O-N-E. Can you spell it? Could you stop interrupting? Stop talking over her. Go ahead, Nylah, go ahead. Goodness gracious.

That's right. And it's Black History Month. What are we doing? Listen, every day during Black History Month, the Black Effect iHeartRadio Podcast Network put out a podcast called I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Either, hosted by my guy BDOT. And BDOT today is going to be talking to us about the whistling walk of shame. Have you ever heard about that? Huh? Huh? If you haven't, you will right now. Listen. I didn't know maybe you didn't. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. you will right now listen have you ever heard of the whistle walk or the whistling walk

first of all can you even whistle I can do a little sign sign. Ha! But dig it. The way the plantations were structured at that time, the kitchens were detached from the main house. So those enslaved Africans would cook in the kitchen building, but after the food was prepared, they'd need to carry it from the kitchen building to the main building where the masters were.

Because you got to understand, sometimes the enslaved Africans that didn't meet their daily quota and got flogged, oh, they was spitting their master's food when they was taking it. So, to ensure that they didn't eat the food or spit on the food while they were bringing it to the dining area, they were forced to whistle. Sometimes they were forced to sing because you cannot chew and eat food when you're singing and whistling. Try it. Go ahead. As a matter of fact, don't even waste your time because it is impossible. I've tried.

And I'm going to let you know why these overseers were nervous. Because they were only feeding the enslaved Africans once a day. And the food they were feeding them didn't smell nor taste like the food they were being served. The whistle walk was also used as a device for slave masters to use so they knew when to stop talking. You know, when me and my guests are here having a very racist conversation that we wouldn't dare want our enslaved property to hear, you know, talking about selling them off to different plantations and dividing and destroying families for generations. Well, no, no, no.

We don't want our enslaved property privy to that information. So we'll hear them when they're whistling. And we'll hear them when they're singing. And we'll stop this conversation right John Brown now. Sometimes the slave masters just use the whistle walks as form of sheer entertainment. Either way, it was dehumanizing. It stripped us of who we were. To say you don't trust us enough

to eat your food or spit in it as we've already prepared said food is insulting. And just another way that our people were treated in those heinous, enslaved periods. Now take that to school or work with you

because I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. Salute to my guy B.Dotman. Make sure you subscribe to the I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Know podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network available everywhere you listen to podcasts. That's right. When we come back,

Salute to 2 Chainz too because you know 2 Chainz is the creative director of marketing for Crystal's. So what am I, strategy? Whatever, when I started seeing what 2 Chainz was doing,

then I saw the stuff Ray J was doing with crystals is what got, piqued my interest with crystals, man. And now we got six crystals coming to the South Carolina area, me and my wife, you know, so salute to crystals, man. Well, if you're doing a seventh one, let me put in on it. And that shows why culture is so important. You know what I mean? Invest in culture.

Because when you bring in a 2 Chainz, and 2 Chainz doing what he doing, then you bring in a Ray J, and Ray J doing what he doing, it makes people pay attention. That's right. And then Charlamagne in now, and now we up 30 plus percent. There you go. Well, you got a positive note? Mm-hmm. The positive note is simply this, man.

It's a quote from Colin Powell that I love. And the quote is, don't let your ego get too close to your position. So that if your position gets shot down, your ego get too close to your position so that if your position gets shot down, your ego doesn't go with it. Remember that for the weekend, y'all. Self-sabotage. Breakfast club, bitches. You all finished or y'all done?
