Good morning, USA! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Good morning. Good morning. What's happening, everybody, man? How y'all feel? I'm feeling great. How you feeling, brother? I'm blessed black and highly favored. Slightly exhausted. Slightly a little mentally and emotionally exhausted. Physically, too, though, because I worked out yesterday and Monday. Flew to my guy, Perm, cousin Tony.

Yeah. Okay. But I'm here. We here. We here. We alive, man. That's all you can ask for, right? Absolutely.

Well, I think Angelique is over us. What do you mean? She just kind of wakes up when she wants to wake up. She just comes in when she wants to come in. I think she's over us. I don't know. She better keep it going. Because it sounded to me like that job, that new job she got don't look too promising.

It don't sound real no more. It don't sound real. It's starting to feel like Tommy and Martin's job. It's like, okay, what's this? I'll keep talking about this show way up with Angel E starting in January, but I don't know. Yeah, well. Unless there's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. Nah, she's running late.

Her show will start the first week, I think the second week of January. You don't sound too confident in that. Yeah, it is. You just threw up a random week. I just did. We all start back the second week in January. We all take our holiday break, and that's when we come back. The second week in January.

You just throwing spaghetti against the wall to see if it sticks. My math is maffin'. That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get my math right now. Wish you the best. All right. Well, anyways, shout to all the parents out there that are still recovering from Halloween. It was a lot of walking, man.

It's a lot of walking up and down them damn blocks. I ain't do no trick-or-treating this year. Because when my anxiety kicks in, that affects the whole family. That's gracious. Right? I don't think we're doing trick-or-treating. We're doing trick-or-treating at the house. We got trick-or-treating at the house.

So F to candy? Just nothing? I mean, here's the thing. We're the type of family that does it for the sport anyway. So the candy, we just switch out. So even when we go door-to-door and we get candy from people, we switch it out. So even when we go door to door and we get candy from people, we switch it out just because I don't trust people like that. That's just me and my paranoia, my parental paranoia.

That's just the way my anxiety is set up. Okay. Well, all right. You let your kids eat that candy? I mean, I go to places usually where I know the block and I know the people. I don't trust nobody no more. My kids go to kids with their school.

I don't go to just random blocks. I don't care. I don't care if you know them or you know the blocks. I don't trust nobody no more. My kids go to kids with their school. I don't go to just random blocks. I don't care. I don't care if you know them. You know the blocks. I don't care no more. I don't trust nobody. That's just the way I'm wired. And then, you know,

we go to like the homies. I'll shout to Apollonia. She lives in the neighborhood and she had like a ton of candy. She was like, hey, no kids really came to the house. Y'all want to pull up? So we pulled up.

Nobody came to our house this year too. That's what I was, and it's so funny because my wife had the Halloween decorations on the house for a while, but nobody came to the crib. Nobody came down that cul-de-sac. Maybe you're the grumpy old man. He's scared of the welcome house. I'm perfectly fine. Good. I'm

A-OK with that. I'm fine being that person. Yeah, so we pull up on people that we know. I would have pulled up on you. I should have pulled up. I thought you was going to be out and about. I would have pulled up, rang your bell, and all the kids would jump out. Go get some candy and water. Nah. Somebody did actually.

Why water? I'm going to tell you why. Somebody actually DM'd me and was like, hey, you pulled up at my house. Your kids asked for water. I didn't have any. Thirsty-ass kids. Come get your thirsty-ass kids. I said, what kind of kids ask for water?

Hey, guys, water? Some thirsty-ass kids that have been walking too long and didn't realize them screech was that long. That's what that was. Jeez, all right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Kevin Lyles will be joining us this morning. He's got his Protect Black Art initiative. Of course, he's an executive, one of the owners of 300.

The record label actually was the first to sign the Migos with QC. Also, Young Thug and Gunna and Meg Thee Stallion. So interesting conversation I think Kevin Liles is having because, you know, you have all of these different elected officials who are passing laws to where you can't use rap lyrics in court. Which I think it's a lot of nuance to it. Right. I think, you know, for the overall purpose of entertainment. Yes, you should not be using people's art in court, but the person is actually committing crimes and then going to rap about said crimes. You're just a dumbass. Yeah, I'm like, geez, I can't be mad at them for using that against you. But we'll talk about it. All right, we'll get to that next.

Then we got front page news. Charlamagne, you might have got your wish, what you've been saying for the last two years. I've been trying to tell y'all. Brooklyn Nets, we'll tell you about it when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news.

Alright, the World Series. Last night, the Astros, Phillies. Phillies crushed the Astros 7-0. So, Philly now leads the series 2-1. But Chloe Bailey, she sang the national anthem at World Series Game 3. Can we hear a little bit? Let me hear my cousin. Laying away.

By the hand of the free. Okay. Chloe killed that. Okay, cousin. St. Stephen, South Carolina, what's happening? Now, Nets have fired head coach Steve Nash. I've been saying that for two years. How many times have I gotten on this radio and said Steve Nash should be fired over the last two years? Yeah, well, they started the season right now.

They were 2-5. He said, thank you, Brooklyn. I'll just tell you a very heartfelt thanks to the whole team and organization. It was an amazing experience with many challenges. And I'm incredibly grateful for blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Next suck. Okay. They got beat last night by Chicago. They was up. The next thing you know, the Bulls went on like a 17 to four run or something crazy like that and ended up winning the game, but they have no identity. They just have, you know, two good players, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and neither one of them play defense and the whole

team isn't a good defensive team. And Steve Nash should have been fired a long time ago. I've been saying it for the past two years. Now, rumor has it that I think his name is Eme Adoka. Eme Adoka, yes. Eme Adoka. It looks like he might be the Nets' next coach. They're saying that Boston will let him leave for another job. Well, you know, he left the Nets to go to the Celtics.

He was the Nets' assistant coach before he took the Celtics' job. I mean, I think Amadoka is a great coach and he could possibly go in there and motivate them, give them an identity. You know, he's already probably going to threaten to sleep with all their girlfriends if they don't shape up. Stop it. What? That's good motivation. I'm going to come in here and sleep with

every one of y'all girlfriends if y'all don't start playing some damn defense. Don't leave that man alone, man. Alright, now Hyundai is telling the owners of more than 44,000 SUVs. You have a Hyundai, right? I do. If you have a Hyundai, do not park it in the garage because they can catch fire even if the engines are off.

The automaker saying certain 2018 Santa Fe sport models should be parked away from other vehicles and structures until they are repaired as part of a recall. Now, what kind of Hyundai now? I just told you. The Santa Fe Sport. Oh, okay. I have a Tucson. A what?

A Hyundai Tucson. Do they still make a Tucson? Compact SUV. Yeah, what you talking about, bro? Zero to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds. Play with me if you want to. 8.4 seconds? I go from zero to 60 in 8.4 seconds in that Tucson.

Play with me. All right. Maybe I'll use it for the car show, the next one. Can I borrow it? It's too much. I don't want to heat the streets up like that. Yo, shut up, man. And that is front page.

I have people out here jealous and envious of me because of my Hyundai Tucson. I got time for that. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

It was not we. I don't come out, man. Black people killing their own. You right. Thank you, brother. It was crazy because shout out to Nyla. Nyla came up here and she was talking about, you know, she was very disturbed because, you know, she dreamed of when she became a lot older and had kids, she wanted to take

her kids to a Migos concert when she was older. I mean, listen, you got to understand, Nyla's what, 25, 26 years old. So Migos been around for the last 12 years. So that's literally her childhood. You know what I'm saying? Like Migos is what is. I put Migos in the category of one of the greatest groups of hip hop groups of all time. But to a lot of people, that is their greatest hip hop group of all time.

That's what they grew up on. That's what they grew up on. That's their Run DMC. That's their Wu-Tang. That's their Outkast. Like it just is. Yeah. And she was like, you You know she really looked forward

You know Hello who's this? What's up guys This is the lady I think y'all put me on hold I had called in about One of my kids being discriminated against at school. Yes, ma'am.

And I wasn't, okay, my thing is, you know, mothers are kind of the grizzly bears. Fathers are not taking it against fathers, but, you know, it's me right now, the mom. And my child was discriminated against at a school, and she was temper sprayed at the school by a white child. And the child wasn't reprimanded like it should have been at all

I think and five other kids were actually harmed in that situation. What area is that? What town is that? What city? South Carolina. What part of South Carolina? Dillon. Alright, I'm going to get you an email. I'm going to connect you with somebody,

see if we can get some energy towards that situation. Get some investigating. Let me tell you what I did, though. I done called the Department of Justice. I done called the Office of Civil Rights. I done phoned an attorney. I spoke with probably about 15 or 20 attorneys. But because she wasn't harmed physically, which she wasn't,

thank God she wasn't, they don't want to actually get an NSA by being so long because it was last year, and I've been working on it since November of last year, because she actually got in a fight after the pepper spray incident, my daughter. They gave her 10 days and they actually told her that they were trying to tell me

that they were going to send her to DJJ. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.

Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.

And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get you information. But what you should have did was you should have made a police report. I did. I did that too. I did that too. And what did the police do? They just took the report. They didn't do nothing? They didn't go down to the school?

They didn't go talk to the parents? Because how old was the kid carrying pepper spray? That's assault. You can't just spray somebody. That's assault. Why did the kid feel like he need pepper spray at 11? Jesus. I don't know.

I don't even know why. But my thing is, you got little kids that say that the first one he need pepper spray at 11? Jesus. I don't know. I don't know. I don't even know why.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. What's up, Envy? Hey, what up, Trav? What's going on, Yeezy? Hey, Trav. She's not here yet, Trav. Hey, Trav.

Oh, God. What's up, Salome? Peace, sis. What's the word? They're doing good, doing good. Cowboys, look at me. Cowboys, God. Salome. Peace, sis. What's the word? Doing good. Doing good. Cowboys. Cowboys. We on our way

to the Super Bowl, baby. We on our way to the Super Bowl. I'm kind of mad that we didn't do anything by the deadline yesterday, but I guess we still going on.

I think we fine. I think we're fine. But I want to talk about takeoff, man. Just saying that I'm definitely starting to hear what happens to that man. I definitely know peace and blessings to his family.

Grief is definitely a horrible thing to go through, especially when you just know that somebody's not coming back anymore. I just want to say I hope the prayer warriors are covering them. I definitely hope that warriors are covering them, and I definitely hope that God is covering them during this time, man. It's a horrible thing

what happened to them. Horrible is an understatement, my brother. You know, I just I don't even think people understand what death is. Like, death is forever. I don't care how many times you see that picture, you know, come across Instagram or that video of that person come across Instagram, that person is not coming back, ever. Like, a person come across Instagram, that person is not coming back ever.

Like, a billion years from now, that person will still not be here. Yeah, trust me. I definitely understand that. Like, the death is one of the things where in every single day, you still wake up thinking, like, man, I want to hear that person's voice. You know, I want

to see that person smile, and you just realize that you're never ever going to see that again. That's voice. You know, I want to see that person's smile and you just realize that you're never ever going to see that again. That's right. That's right. All right. Thank you, Trav.

You're definitely welcome, man. Talk to y'all later, man. Look at you about to cry. Give me a hug. Oh, God. I know you about to cry because you lost

somebody real close to you recently, man. But we always holding you in our prayers too, Trav. I appreciate that, man. Alright, my brother. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Tom from Newark.

Tom from Newark. What up? Get it off your chest, bro. Man, I wanted to holler at Charlamagne the other day when y'all was talking about LeBron not being a Cowboy fan. Charlamagne said we should have gave up on the whole NFL, but you had NFL owners out here talking about they was going to pay the fines for whoever didn't want to nail.

Well, no, that's not what I said. I said based off LeBron's logic because LeBron was saying that, you know, he didn't like how, you know, the Cowboys owners were moving during that whole time. And I'm like, well, damn, the whole NFL was allegedly moving like that. The whole NFL blackballed Kaepernick, right? Yeah, they weren't talking about Kaepernick. They were talking about taking the knee. We weren't talking about blackballing.

I thought it was the whole league that didn't want players to take knees and stuff like that. Nah, Woody Johnson of the Jets said, whoever taking the knee, I'm paying the fine for you. So you can't say that. So what are you saying? You want LeBron to be a Jets fan? I don't get what you're saying.

Nah, I'm just telling you that you was wrong about what you said, my man. How was I wrong? Because you said the whole NFL, and that ain't true. You remember when everybody was saying they was going to blackball the NFL for whatever reason, right? You do remember that conversation. Yes. During that whole time, people were like, I'm not watching the football, period.

So I was just saying if LeBron is going to make that stance with the Cowboys and not be a Cowboys fan no more, I guess he should take that whole stance for the league. But, I mean, you named one owner or coach who said he would pay the fine, I guess. I just think nobody should be a Cowboys fan. Man, shut up. Hello, who's this? How y'all doing today, Breakfast Club? What's up?

What's your name? Man, my name Emery, man. I'm from Chicago, man. I finally got through. What's up, bro? Good morning. Good morning. Hey, y'all had a crazy shooting. I'm from Chicago, man. I finally got through. What's up, bro? Hey, y'all had a crazy shooting.

What's up, Ken? Y'all had a crazy shooting in Garfield Park on Halloween night that nobody was talking about. 14 people shot in Chicago on Halloween. We need to talk about that, man. Chicago, man. Chicago just has been a dark cloud over Chicago. You know what I'm saying? I left Chicago maybe seven years ago, but I always go back home. I want to just give a healing energy to all those victims.

The youngest victim was three years old, man. Three years old. You know what I'm saying? Three years old, the youngest victim. I saw that. You hear me? That's crazy. I just think it's crazy.

I'm going to piggyback off a lot of things you say, Salome, like Black Lives Matter to us, man. We just can't be out here screaming Black Lives Matter when a police officer of a different race killed us. We got to stop killing ourselves, man, for real. We got to stop killing ourselves. Yeah, we got to start holding ourselves accountable. Now you're right.

I agree. Thank you, brother. Get it off your chest, we got to start holding ourselves accountable. Now you're right. I agree. Thank you, brother. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, when we come back, Kanye fans, they serious about Kanye. We'll tell you what they're doing to try to help the brother out. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Oh, you late late, huh? I ain't got nothing to do with that. She lately. She don't work here no more. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report.

Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, Kanye West supporters are fed up with you guys and are so upset that you took his billionaire status away. So they created GoFundMe for money to get him back to that billionaire status. Oh, God. So they created this deal. It's a GoFundMe page. They're trying to raise $600 million, right?

Because that's what he said he lost, $600 million. So that way he can be- I thought he said he lost $2 billion. What are you talking about? No, well, they said he was down to his worth. I guess his net worth is $400 million now. So they're trying to get his net worth back to over a billion. So they're trying to get people to get him over that $600 million mark.

Man, y'all need to get a life, okay? You could and should be investing that time and energy into making your own money. America has a very unhealthy obsession with celebrity. And that's why Donald Trump was president and Dr. Oz and Hershel Walker got real great chances of winning Senate seats because y'all obsessed with celebrities in this country. And by the way, it was just an evaluation.

He can still be worth a billion to y'all. Just, you know, do your own evaluation. Now, let's talk about some cases that's thrown out. Black Chyna, her assault case has been thrown out. Now, Black Chyna's former friend alleged that Black Chyna kicked her in the stomach during an altercation at a club. But they're saying that that case was thrown out. She was being sued for $100 million. That's thrown out.

Trey Songz, a rape civil case has been dismissed. They're saying the statute of limitations passed. So Trey Songz civil lawsuit related to an alleged rape that happened in 2016 has been dropped. That's about it here. Mariah Carey, she talks about owning all her

masters, each and every one of them. And whoever wrote this story, the Daily Mail, y'all so foul. Unlike pop star Taylor Swift, five-time Grammy winner Mariah Carey actually owns all of her masters, including 86 singles, 15 studio albums, which date back to 1990.

So every time her record gets played, every time it gets used in a movie, every time somebody samples it, she gets that money. Well, it's almost Mariah Carey season, because that Christmas song should be starting to play on radio stations all across the country any day now. Right about now. When do they start Christmas

music nowadays? It's been starting earlier and earlier. It's November. It's November now. You're going to start hearing Mariah Carey. Matter of fact, it might be next. You're right. It might be next. All right. Now, lastly, 50 Cent, J. Cole, Travis Scott, and more are petitioning to ban rap lyrics in All right. Now, lastly, 50 Cent, J. Cole, Travis Scott, and more are petitioning to ban rap lyrics in criminal cases. Now, that's why Kevin Lyles is actually coming up here to talk about it.

Protect Black Art. Protect Black Art. Now, they're saying that Protect Black Art is a situation that Kevin Lyles started. He's trying to get all these artists to make sure that they're not using their lyrics in court against them. So we're going to talk to him today about that but some of the other artists that are included in this is alicia keys uh meg the stallion john legend killer mike mary j blige two chains hove kelly roland meek mill and a host of others i'm with that unless these people are really committing crimes if you're really committing crimes and then you go and rap about these crimes in detail on your records,

you cannot be upset when they use that as evidence in the court of law. Yeah, but how do they figure out and tell what the difference is? Because of the details. What are you talking about? If I say that I'm smoking on such and such pack, right, and then I get on a record and talk about this person that is deceased and talk about how many times they got shot, and how many times I shot them, and where I put the body, yeah, that should be used in a court of law.

Yeah, I agree. But when you have a prosecutor that doesn't know our culture, and that's listening to these rap lyrics, he's going to think that every lyric about something is about somebody. I don't think that's how this is working. I think that this is just more evidence on top of evidence they have already gathered to say, hey, this person committed such and such crime. It's not like they're listening to lyrics and then hearing about a person shooting in a song and saying, hey, go pick him up for that. That's not how this is happening. Come on, man. We're smarter than that.

Well, I don't know. We'll talk about in depth next hour. Kevin Liles joins us. But in the Thug case, I seen the prosecutor say, hey, your honor, he even said F the judge. Well, that's ridiculous. But that's what they're using. Now, if you're a judge, what do you say? Well, it depends. If he said if I'm the judge and he said F's judge such and such, like said a name, that's different.

But just a blanket statement like F the judge, nah, that's ridiculous. That's like, you know, holding NWA accountable for saying what well, they did, I guess, when they said F the police. Correct. But that is a broad statement. When you say F the police, you are casting a wide net. Now you got B for police all across the country. All right. That is, yeah.

Now, if you, back in the day when Ice-T did Cop Killer, I'm sure all cops across the country were upset. Yes. You know, about that song. Right. That's casting a wide net. Well, that's what they did in this case. And we'll talk about it more next hour with Kevin Lyles.

You know, Kevin Lyles is the co-founder of 300 Entertainment, which house artists like Fetty Wap, Meg Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Gunna, and even Amigo. So we'll talk to him next hour. And that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back. We are acting like some of these young rappers aren't wild and wild. Like, I mean, they really are. They're in the videos with the pictures of their ops.

You know, they're going by the grave sites. That's what I'm saying. They're peeing on graves. They really, I'm smoking on touch and touch pack. When you got people's mamas getting online saying, stop rapping about my dead child. Come on, bro. Bro, last week.

Come on. Last week, I seen two people online talking about how rapping about my dead child. Come on, bro. Bro, last week. Come on. Last week, I seen two people online talking about how they just robbed a YouTuber. And had his jewelry in their hands. So the judge is not supposed to use that in court? You goddamn right use that. Come on, man. Yes, you should use that. Come on, man.

Prosecution is not supposed to use that in court? Come on, man. Yes. Come on. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we gotta talk about banning

TikTok. Yeah, they're talking about possibly that they might ban TikTok, alright? We'll do that next when we come back. What are we playing? Let me hear a little bit of it. Let me hear a little bit of it. A little bit of what? I think it might be too early for you.

You think it's too early? I think you need to call your program director before you just let this one fly. This might be the first spin of this song this season. I don't think so. It's not the first. No, I think it is. No, I think it is. I think you're beating Light FM right now. No.

I'm telling you. You don't think so? I don't think nobody started playing Christmas music yet. You're being a little too sporty now. You're going to get your beard wiped off. My beard wiped off. You're going to get your beard wiped off. My beard wiped off. All right, well, then stop it then.

All right, so stop it then. Play WizKid then, all right? Yes. It's the breakfast club. A little too early. The breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same. You might not have the biggest garage on the block, but with eBay Motors, there's 122 million parts right at your fingertips.

Whatever you need, there's something that fits your vehicle. Air filters, tires, seat covers, and more. Get the right parts at the right prices. eBayMotors.com. Let's ride. This is DJ Envy Angelique. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. All right. Now, last night, World Series, Phillies beat the Astros 7-0. They lead 2-1. So we'll see what happens with that. Steve Nash has been fired. Charlemagne has been talking about this for the longest time. He was let go yesterday.

I've been saying that for two years. Steve Nash needs to be fired. The Brooklyn Nets have zero identity. They play no defense. They just have, you know, two star players, you know, two star players who also don't play defense, you know, and Steve Nash just never was the coach that could bring that team together. I don't think so anyway.

Now there's been a lot of names and people talking about who the next coach should be. Who do you think it should be? The brother from the Celtics whose name I can't pronounce. What's his name? What's his name? What's his name? How do you pronounce it? Yudoka.

Yudoka. He was actually the assistant coach for the Nets before he left for the Celtics. But, yeah, I definitely think he should be the coach. I think he can at least give that team some identity and motivate them. Come in the locker room and threaten to sleep with all their women if they don't get it together. You stupid. That's good motivation. You are stupid.

Now, Charles barkley yesterday spoke about kairi irvin and what he thinks should happen with kairi irvin with uh his repost i think the nba dropped the ball in what way i think adam should have suspended him first of all adam's jewish you can't take my 40 million dollars and insult my religion you're gonna insult me you have the right but i have the right to say no you're not gonna take my 40 million dollars and insult my religion I think the NBA they made a mistake we have suspended people and find people who have made homophobic slurs and that would that was the right thing to do I think if you insult the black community you should be suspended or fine heavily depending I saw they did

the same thing to the kid in Minnesota this year when he made the gay slur. I think you should get suspended or fined. I saw that. I mean, I don't know because I haven't read the book, you know. I don't know what's in the book. So I think it's easier to make that call about somebody being suspended when you actually hear a person, you know, say a slur.

Yeah, but Adam Silver, he said he pays his salary. Adam Silver doesn't own the NBA. He's a commissioner. He's paid. The team's paying him. He doesn't own it. I don't know. And lastly, FCC commissioner says U.S. should ban TikTok.

Now, if they ban TikTok, they're saying they should do it because TikTok is owned by a Chinese- owned company. And they're saying we don't know how that app handles the data of American users. What do you think? What, FCC banning TikTok? Yeah. I'm all for that. Even though there is some good things happening on all these social media platforms, I just know the bad is outweighing the good. I think they need to,

I really think they need to get rid of most social media altogether until they start, until they start regulating social media, the way they do TV and radio, you know, uh, they got to shut it down because, because I really feel like so on social media,

the bad is definitely outweighing the good and our cognitive skills are being impacted by social media in ways that we won't even realize until years from now. Yeah, but you're talking about what's put on TikTok. They're talking about, you know, people's privacy and people's information. But here's the thing. Y'all don't think about that kind of stuff when we sign up for these sites? Like, yo, think about the terms and agreements that you have to click on when you open up a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok. Don't nobody read those?

Nope. We don't know what we agree into when we just agree to be on any of these social media platforms. Y'all just want to be on the sites. We don't know what we've given over to people. Well, I think a lot of times we don't do our homework because, you know, when these apps get popping and people jump on these apps, they don't know who owns these apps. They don't know if it's from what country or what information or what they're using, you know, doing without information. Because I swear to God, I've been getting more and more robocalls in the last two, three weeks. I know people who don't want to give out their, like, DNA samples

because they're afraid of what people are going to do to their DNA samples. Yes. But y'all jump on these social media sites and just click agree to all these terms and conditions and don't even read the fine print. You don't know what kind of digital DNA you may be giving away. That's right. You have no idea. And then you wonder why when you, you know, you're on your phone and you're thinking about something or talking about something, it just pops up.

I don't know, man. I just think we've all gone too far. And you can't put the toothpaste back into YouTube. Nope, definitely can't. We've gone too far. And once again, our cognitive skills are being impacted by social media in ways that we won't even realize until years from now. Now, also, Elon Musk is talking about charging people for having that blue check on Twitter. And them idiots going to pay. Now, Stephen King yesterday said, $20 a month to keep my blue check?

F that. They should pay me. If this gets instituted, I'm gone. Elon Musk replied, well, we need to pay bills somehow. Twitter can't rely entirely on advertisers. How about just $8? So I guess they're going to be charging $8. He says that's the

only way to defeat the bots and the trolls. I don't go on Twitter. I haven't been on there in about three or four years. You know, my Twitter is strictly a promo page for my TV show. Hell of a week, which comes on 11.30 p.m. on Thursday nights on Comedy Central. But I don't go on Twitter. I think people will pay for that blue check.

I know these idiots will pay. They can't wait to pay. Y'all can't wait to make these people more rich and then complain about them being so rich. Y'all can't wait. I don't think a blue check is... People have been dying for blue check. They've been DMing Jack and whoever else was owning Twitter at one time and DMing people and texting people you think that can get you that check mark.

They can't wait to pay for that $8 a month. Instagram too. They cannot wait. And you're going to make these people even more rich and they complain about them being rich and complain about capitalism and all kinds of other stupid stuff. All right. Well, that is your front page news. I heard they're going to take your check if you don't pay.

Really? That's what I heard. Take it. I could care less. Bye. I know who I am. Yeah, I know who I am. Y'all know who I am.

I know who I am. All right. All right. When we come back, Kevin Lyles will be joining us. Of course, he's the co-founder of 300 Entertainment. You know, he was an executive at Def Jam for years, executive in this industry. He managed Trey Songz at one time. He's the one that one of the people that helped and signed the Migos, Meg Thee Stallion, Fetty Wap, Young Thug, Gunna.

I think Rich the Kid, too. So we're going to talk to him when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Power 105.1. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The legend. Kevin Liles. Welcome, brother. What's good? What's good? How are you guys doing?

You know, on a sad day, we want to start with one of the groups that you first signed, the Migos. One of the members' takeoff was killed. For people that don't know, I just want to go back to what made you first sign Migos? What in the Migos that made you sign them? Talk about his personality, because a lot of people just won't know, you know? First of all, my condolences to his family, to the Migos, andC coach and P I know what it is since you know I've been in business for 40 years to lose an artist an employee a family member and he was all those things and as I came up here to talk about protecting black art I still got to talk about protecting us. And I think we're putting ourselves in a situation

where we're not humanizing our everyday lives. You're somebody's son, you're somebody's brother, you're somebody's aunt, and a life taken too short. You got to understand, I literally just went through this with Rock. You know what I mean? And these are not people that I just know or listen to their music. I know them personally.

And so I didn't sign Migos. I worked with Coach and P to develop a group that became one of the number one groups in the country. And now we're sitting here today saddened by another unnecessary loss. And I think it's based on a lot of things. COVID, people coming outside of COVID, lack of education, constant oppression,

the gun laws not getting passed in the right way. It's like there's a whole host of things. But more importantly, that's somebody's son that's not here no more, man. You know, I got a 24-year-old. You know what I mean? So it saddens me. You know, to your point,

there's so many socioeconomic conditions that, you know, just lead to crime or lead to putting people in that state of mind where something like that can happen. But you know, a lot of people feel like hip hop has either become or always been a deaf lifestyle. What do you say to that? I live it.

And I haven't killed anybody. And I consume more hip hop and party hip hop than most people. But I haven't killed anybody. And I consume more hip-hop and party hip-hop than most people. But I will tell you that there's an issue. It's black-on-black crime because we were taught to be against each other. I had to be better than you. I had to do more than you. That's hip-hop.

That's what we've been taught in an oppressive country, that the things that that we shouldn't value life like it's meant to be valued and for for those of us that believe that music kills no gun kills lack of education kills racism kills white supremacy kills those are the things and i don't believe hip-hop kills people i believe people kill people i guess the difference is oh i guess the difference is, and this is what we're here to talk about, right? Some people will be like,

well, other people don't put it in their music. They don't celebrate it. They don't glorify it through the art that they create. Well, what about Johnny Cash? What about the guy who said, I shot the sheriff? Let me tell you a story. So there was a country song, and it was lyrics,

and they gave it to one group of people and said, hey, it's a country artist, here's the lyrics. And they took the same lyrics and gave it to another group of people and said, you know what, it's a rap song. Which one did people say offended people the most? The country song. No, the rap song. Oh, the rap song.

Oh, yeah, I get what you're saying. You know what I'm saying? You gave them the country lyrics, but told them it was a rap song. So technically it was the country song. Right, and oh yeah I get what you're saying but you know what I'm saying you gave them the country lyrics but told them it was a rap song so technically it was a country song right and so I'll take it a step further

there's been a study 500 cases where lyrics were used against black and brown people and since 1950 only four cases have been

of lyrics have been used three of them got thrown out and one of them was overturned overturned right and then even if you listen to heavy metal music some of the things that they say are rock music. I remember Guns N' Roses had that song,

I used to love her, but I had to kill her. Right. Listen, it makes... But did the person really kill somebody, though? Okay, and 90% of the people didn't kill people. The shit they talking about is entertainment. Listen, if you want to go there, I'm a person that says,

as long as it's for everybody, as long as it's justice for everyone, I'm a person that says, as long as it's for everybody, as long as it's justice for everyone, I'm cool with it. But I have guys sitting behind prison, in prison right now, they're using this racial bias thing to scare jurors,

to scare judges, to scare the community to say, hey, they're rap artists. Hey, you know what? They call them King Slime, so therefore he's the head of a gang. Well, how about this, Atlanta? They've been faulting county. They've been locked up for five months. Crime is still up.

Rape is still up. Burglary is still up. So what are we talking about? We're talking about lyrics here. Let's talk about it because a lot of people will say, yeah, they agree to a certain extent. But then somebody will say, like, you know, if you're a rapper and you commit a crime,

and then you rap that crime in your lyrics, you should be prosecuted for it. If you're a rapper and you're snitching on yourself, I do believe the lyrics should be able to be talked to the judge and see if they can be used. But not if you can't just do it just to hold somebody. I agree with that. That's the laws that have been... but not if you can't just do it just to hold somebody. I agree with that. I agree with that.

That's the laws that have been, that's the laws, that's the legislation that Newsom signed off on, the legislation that Bowman and my man Hank Johnson in Atlanta is going federally. So these are things, but we got a lot of work to do right now. Young thug is sitting in prison and he can't be a father to his six kids. He couldn't bury his man,

little Keith. Gunner is sitting, can't take care of his mother. These are pillars in the community and if you got this, listen to what they're doing. They're taking positive things

out of the community so then you have chaos again. Now, I did see something which I didn't understand and I don't know how they're getting away with it. I seen in the Thug case when the prosecutor said,

he was reading the lyrics, right? And the prosecutors were like, yeah, and he even says, f*** the judge, Your Honor. And I couldn't understand how they were basically saying him f***ing the judge was basically saying f*** that judge at the time. And of course, the judge held him for longer. But how are they getting away with just using

just random lyrics to make it fit for a case? They've been getting away with it since N.W to make it fit for a case they've been getting away with it since nwa i'm 40 years in the business right now i've been fighting the same fight but understand if we let this go i don't know if we'll have another spike lee if we let this go i don't know if we have another steven spielberg i don't know if we have another creator or or artist if we let this go i think the difference with film and music is we know film is entertainment. Film says this is fiction. We know this is not a real story,

but rappers always base their lyrics on being real. Let's talk about Tony Soprano. Let's talk about Scarface. Those are all still fictional things. We know they're fiction. It's not fictional. What I'm saying is there was a Scarface. It might not have been named Scarface,

but there was a big drug dealer that came from somewhere that did it. There was a Tony Soprano. It might not have been in that particular. There was a wire. I lived it. So these things have happened. It's just that we've been programmed to say that is that and this is this. And Freddie Mercury, you could say you shot

a man that's watching him die. You can say that. But you can't say that in your music. That's the issue here is I think we've been programmed in a way to think it's not all creativity. And again, I preface this by saying, if you said, my name is Kevin and I kicked down your door and robbed you. And I actually went and did that. I think you are snitching on yourself and you should be using and I think that's what

there's a point in time when yes if you committed this crime and then you rapped about it then it should be permissible that's all we've been saying but it shouldn't be something that's used if it's something that's vague and ambiguous that maybe doesn't apply but it's just a story that somebody's telling

like T Grizzly put out his album. Yes. And he's telling stories and they could be fictional. It could be something based on things, you know, that he saw or experienced or it could not. You know, Tee said to me, because I think it was one of the most creative albums I've heard in a very long time to actually tell stories. He said, man, I had to watch me saying it was me that I had to tell it was a story that

because you can slip up in any kind of way and it's a saying to you Charlemagne that if you say something out your mouth it could be used against you because you said it just because you're a black man or brown person in America and we can do that to you but we won't do it to other

people. That's the problem I have. Think about the insurrection. What if black people decided to go take over the Capitol? What you think? We wouldn't be having a conversation about bond, jail, jury. We'd be dead. So to me, I just think it's injustice for all

and this is the first time in the history of our business where we put the bat signal up and we got Coldplay to Megan to Drake to Spotify, YouTube, ACLU to Color of Change. You got so many groups. That's it.

Every. Listen, think about it. Do you think that companies would support the rhetoric? I talk about white supremacy and all these things. That is this. No, but every Universal, Warner, Sony, everybody's backing it because enough is enough because as soon as it happens,

it's going to affect every industry. All right, we got more with Kevin Lyles when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kevin Lyles,

executive from 300, the label that found the Migos, Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Gunna, and more. Kevin, what do you think is happening in Atlanta in particular with their justice system? Who are the attacking rappers in Atlanta? I think it was New York before. Then it was L.A. Wherever it's the hottest music band, it's going to happen because it's a way to intimidate and give racial bias to jurors and people in the community. I guarantee you right now, if you put 100 people from Cleveland Ave and said, should Young Thug, is he good for the community or bad for the community?

They're going to say he's good for the community. The same thing with Gunna. Now, what are your thoughts on them? You know, at one time when they were trying to, quote unquote, ban drill music and ban the negative type of music. What are your thoughts on things like that? It's how I feel about banning anybody from having freedom of speech. Unfortunately and fortunately, drill music is drill music. It is happening.

And those are the ones that are snitching on themselves already. You know, like detailing and I'm not all of them, but a lot of them are detailing exactly what happened, who it happened to in the videos with pictures of their ops and everything else like. Listen, I can only say we should be smarter as a people. Well, how do we continue to fight? Right. When I look at it, I look at the judge. Right. In the gunner case. Right. Black man. And, you know, you hear all the details where, you know, they say basically they really have no violent information on gun and nothing violent on gun. And that the fact that the guy that looks like us, that we fight for because we is your country falling apart, feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary. Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag and just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.

It's surprisingly easy. Fifty five gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.

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

We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, And we're losing daylight fast. athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?

Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real inspiring stories from the people, you know, follow and admire, join me every week for post run high. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. 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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Marie. And I'm Sydney. And we're mess. Well, not a mess, but on our podcast called Mess, we celebrate all things messy. But the gag is, not everything is a mess. Sometimes it's just living. Yeah, things like J-Lo on her third divorce.

Living. Girls' trip to Miami. Mess. Ozempic. Messy, skinny living. Restaurant stealing a birthday cake. Mess. Wait, what flavor was the cake, though?

Okay, that's a good question. Hooking up with someone in accounting and then getting a promotion. Living. Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live. Living. It's kind of mess. Yeah. Well, you get it.

Got it? Live, love, mess. Listen to Mess with Sydney Washington and Marie Faustin on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We say we want more people like us in the court system, more people like us to be police officers, more people like us to be in the judicial system. And the guy that looks like us says, now we're going to keep him in here. Yeah, you have to understand why it was a RICO charge. A RICO charge

is to get affiliation. Anybody stand next to, be next to, the whole thing. And the only reason you would use a RICO charge in this particular situation is to shake the tree.

Yeah. They clearly don't have nothing on guns. There's nothing there. Listen, it's to shake the tree. And I have to be honest with you, if you African-American in America, if you ain't been around it, seen it, you ain't black.

And that's just the reality of it because we grew up not in places that people would say are safe places. So I can't say I haven't. I think you're from a certain era. If you're from a certain era, you definitely was around it. Because it because you know our kids aren't around it because we've created a different life with them yeah we we've created a different life but when you say our kids you're talking about the one percent you're talking about i only speak on the fattest part of the

you know and that is i i joke with my my kids i said i'm doing it protecting black art thing i said we're gonna go to the club later. And my son and my daughter, 24, 22, they all say, well, who's DJing? But my 11-year-old, 8-year-old say, the country club. So the reality, yes, we are evolving, but we're still in the percentage of ourself. And I just feel like this is not a moment in time. This is a movement. This is one of the biggest movements that we had and I think we gotta be better fathers better rappers better

Human beings better executives and I think this is the first sign of you seeing Adults in the room and they come from our culture Let's talk about you as an executive with your artists because we've seen you in the courtroom We've seen you going there, taking up for your artists. We see you, you know, with Megan the Stallion, supporting everything that she's doing. We see you with T Grizzly at, you know, the screenings. What is the boundary between being an executive and working with these artists? Because sometimes people feel like business and what it feels like kind of a friendship sometimes gets mixed up. So what are your rules when it comes to that?

I'm them. I'm an artist. I'm somebody who I was an artist and I know how I want to be treated. But more importantly, every person you've talked about just now, I've met their mother and their father and they said, take care of my baby. See, that's the problem with our industry. They want to get to reap the rewards but they don't want to go through the bull so i want to i want i want to smoke now you always

been very vocal and i know kanye was one of your artists when you were at def jam you ever picked up the phone and try to reach out to him and try to have some conversations with him i spoke to kanye prior to all of this new stuff going on and i i have to tell you, man, I'm against racism of all kinds. I'm against anti-Semitic rhetoric. I'm against discrimination. I'm against us not focusing on us being one human race. And so when you see someone going through what he's going through, you have to allow that moment to, I'm sure enough people's talking to him, uh, to put him in a place. Kanye's not fighting with the world.

He's fighting himself right now. And the best position that I think we need to do for him is to provide love and guidance. And that love and guidance has to come from different places. It doesn't come from tearing people down. You know, it comes from helping them understand where they are in life and helping them get to the right, because Kanye has helped more people than he's hurt.

I think the rhetoric is wrong, and what he's trying to accomplish is a better way of accomplishment, and everything doesn't have to be for the media. Things should be able to happen behind closed doors, and you guys know we've moved a lot of things that you guys have not even heard about because we have the relationships on all sides. I want to go back to the protect black art thing.

How much of the focus is being put on the artists to not record records about their criminal activity? If I knew an artist was a criminal, I think that's a different conversation. But if I'm with an artist and he's around certain things and that's his environment, he's broken, he's poor, and he's prolific, I want to help him change the narrative of his family and his life. And I also want to have the conversations that I have with a lot of the OGs that we have to do better. And we have to

be in their life, not move out of their life constantly and check them sometimes but also listen to them and so that that is you know when i when i turned 50 i said i want to listen i want to learn i want to lead and i want to love and if it don't fall in those things i'm just not about it do you ever teach of course you teach but i'm talking about like you do come from that era of public enemy you do come from that era of Public Enemy. You do come from the era of socially conscious music. Do you ever tell these artists like, hey, man, you might want to try to do a bigger picture. Look how many records Kendrick sold. Look what J. Cole is doing.

Have you ever done that? I never say emulate. I always say tell your truth. And I believe that, you know, if I would have went to Public Enemy and told Chuck, yo, right, fight the power. Or N.W.A. Right. No, no. went to Public Enemy and told Chuck, yo, right, fight the power. You know, like, or NWA, right, no, no, these things, these are moments in time that a record was written

if I, Marvin, right, what's going on? That don't come from a space of being told what to do and I don't believe my job is to tell them what to do. My job is to provide them by to do my job is to provide them by the means and the education and the resources to tell their truth and if your truth is what you saw what you did how it was just tell your truth because those things are the things that are going

to bring and change people's lives you know what we didn't ask um how is Thug and Gunna doing? Please don't take this the wrong way, but I can't normalize jail. Yo, not talking to your kid. That's right. Your mother's sick, not being able to take her something. How would you feel behind it? I know how I feel. And if I couldn't talk to my kids, I couldn't be. My father's suffering through frontal lobe dementia.

Hasn't been talking to his. I can't be there for his last day. One of my biggest, I'm going to come out as't talked in two years I can't be there for his last day one of my biggest I'm gonna come out as a little key pass I can't be at the funeral I know how I would feel

so I will never normalize those four walls in that cell that hold too many black and brown people for racist

and white supremacy and all the things that the oppression that's been put on myself people alright we got more with Kevin Lyles when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Kicking it with Kevin Liles. Now, how can people get involved with what you're doing? Yeah, I think one of the things that we have to do with the midterms coming up next week,

we have to vote. We have to get out and put people in the places that understand who we are, why we are and the things that we need. we need. We have laws that are still in place for hundreds of years ago that they think they should work in 2022. My cell phone from 10 years ago don't work the same way my new cell phone works. So why should we change these laws for what we are right now, for 22 and beyond? And I just look at what can you do today? I think you need to go and make noise about this, this racist act, because it's not only affecting. Listen, how about this? A New York that's awarded somebody for the Malcolm X, 36 billion dollars.

Listen, this is not about lyrics. This is not about revenue. This is about a racist system. Justice is put there to put more brown and black people in jail. So this is bigger. This is about you getting out and voting. This is about passing legislation and pushing your congressmen, your senators, your mayors, your governors to help us protect black art. And I'm not talking about music, guys. I'm talking about your art. Protect us. But we also got to protect us from us.

You think Gunnar will get out next time on bail? Because I know we've been hopeful and it's been, what, four times now? That'll be the fifth time, right? Yeah. I am hopeful that the judge will look at these past six months and see that these guys are not the reason crime is what it is in Atlanta. I'm hopeful that now the lead prosecutor has left and they're regrouping. They're trying to push the case back right now. I'm hoping that the judge will see through this whole lyric thing and allow them to have a fair trial. See, the thing is, I don't mind going to trial. What I mind is the racial bias that's

happening because of the music and how the guys look. So do I think he's going to get out? Angela, I pray every day for God to have an understanding and to give the understanding to the judge and even the prosecutor because I don't think this is even worthy going to trial for God. I wonder if the fact that you have all of these different RICO cases happening in Atlanta is hurting the YSL case because you do have a whole other group who are actually rapping about home invasion and stuff.

So sometimes when you hear it, you just feel like it's all blurred if you're just listening you know in the public yeah again but our justice system shouldn't be blurred i do wonder also too what changed in hip-hop because it's not like gang affiliation is new to hip-hop so why all of a sudden now it's like okay now this leads to ricos with a number one music in the world when you're number one yeah it's it's so many things go at you and so so many things are heightened right now i don't believe we're ready to pass the legislation that we passed we want the number one music in the world i think you would have people scared to even come on with the movement if you want the number one music in the world but it's no denying who we are while we are you you have to address the issues right

now and we're in a position where we can hold people accountable you know back when i was young kev i couldn't say i was trying to on my come up now i don't care what are you going to do with say do to me i care about my people i've always cared about my people and i care about to a point right now where i don't mind being on the front line and taking whatever it takes to get our people to understand that all we want is an opportunity to be judged like everybody else and not be persecuted

because of the color of our skin or the lyrics that we rap. So it's like full circle, right? You're executive producing the Milli Vanilli biopic. I heard that. Yeah, I mean, you know, I want to make sure

to get the story right you know I gotta protect I gotta protect that black art even if they didn't sing I gotta protect that black art too

you wrote a song that Millie can you break this down for people who don't know I was 16 in love wrote a record put it out

sold 100,000 copies girl you know it's true yeah girl you know it's true two years later I'm watching MTV and somebody video comes on I never made a video and it was Milli Vanilli and they sold 18 million copies if I would have made it I still

would have probably want to be in the music business the only reason I got into the business of music is because I never wanted that to happen to another artist because it changed their life in a lot of ways and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that opportunity so how did that come about because I don't a lot of people are too young to, but Milli Vanilli was a joke for a long time. And they blew up, but then it became like this big joke because of the lip syncing thing. But one of them ended up actually taking his own life.

Yep. Was it because of that? Or was it because of... Absolutely. He couldn't handle what was going on. But you have to understand, I'm going to put it into perspective. They sold 18 million copies of one single.

They were the biggest group. They had some bangers. The biggest group. You couldn't tell them anything. They were, it was. They had some bangers. The biggest group. You couldn't tell them anything. They were, it was sex, drugs, rock and roll,

all the things that you want to talk about. And when that's taken away from you and you know, you're trying, but you got caught up in the, in the system, in the hype. Some people can't deal with it the same way. And so I,

again, I wish they would have took my call back then. Cause they didn't take my call. They just stole my song. I might have been able to help them get through it. So you ended up having to take them to court to get paid and all that? Take them to court, man. Yeah, that's why I learned the business like I know it now. Because I had to take it at 17

years old, 18 years old. So they just stole your song that you put out, that you sold copies, and was like, what was your name back then? It wasn't Kevin Lyle. No, it was Crime Genius. They just took Crime Genius' song and just sang it over and just F you. That's why you want to protect black art. You don't want them to get out and get you. No, you know what?

My record was out in Germany, and I toured on a tour with Rob Bass. Crime Genius. I was big know big and they heard in the club and the guy just went and remade the song put two people on it and never thought nobody would fight it you know I'm just a kid from Baltimore yeah you know and really if I didn't have the resources and I didn't have the will you know how many people cheated on and and stolen from and they just don't have the means or the will or even... To fight, because that's a fight. That cost money.

Oh, did it? Oh, did it? That cost you to fight that? Seven? Seven grand? No, man. They took the song. They didn't want to give it back. Seven million dollars. Seven million dollars? You had that kind of money back then?

At that age. You really was a crime genius. The wire. Listen, guys, here's what I want to say. Everything is for everybody, but more importantly, when you're on the side of right, you have friends, you have family, you have lawyers that will settle the case, all those kind of things. And I was so loved in the city and loved by my family that we were willing to clear my name and get what's rightfully mine. That still to this day, I'm able to to sit back and collect checks.

And when I'm not here, my kids will be collecting checks from the record. And that's why I want to be honest with you. It is why I fight for us, because I never want that to happen and I will always protect back on And how can people follow you and help you get more information to the cause that you're running? I think it's a hashtag protect back art and you can go online and change that org and look at the Petition I think we over 70,000 people right now. And then, like I said, go out and vote. Make sure your legislators, congressmen, and senators

know, and your governors, and hold them accountable. Let's hold them accountable for more than just saying, okay, we're doing this for this person, that for this person. We've got to hold them accountable to put laws in that help us govern our country and govern even our poor communities in a better way.

All right. Well, Kevin Liles. That's right. What is a genius? What is it? Crime genius. Don't do that. We're not trying to implicate him in anything.

No, I was not a crime genius. I was KG, and I was in a group called New Marks. Kevin Liles, ladies and gentlemen, the OG. We appreciate you, bro. God bless you guys. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. What about me? And. We appreciate you, bro. God bless you guys. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What up, man?

And you still not here, bro? I told y'all, didn't Angelique tell us much to go to The Breakfast Club? As we know, it is officially over. Then they started talking about this new show she got in January, which I'm not even sure is real anymore. It's starting to feel like Tommy and Martin, his job. Bro, it's 8 o'clock. But she's not here.

So maybe this is the day she decided to finally say F it I'm going to move on with my life Maybe today is the day Let's get to the rumor report Let's talk Takeoff She's spilling the tea This is the rumor report With Angela Yee

On The Breakfast Club Now yesterday of course Takeoff was killed yesterday as he was at a bowling party or pool party. Not yesterday, Halloween night. Halloween night, yeah, Halloween night. So yesterday, the actual police commissioner spoke about it and spoke about gun violence and actually needing help solving this crime. And I'm calling up on everybody, hip-hop artists in Houston and around the nation. We've got to police ourselves. There are so many talented individuals,

men and women in that community, who, again, I love and I respect. And we all need to stand together and make sure nobody tears down that industry. And I'm calling to start here in Houston here and possibly as early as next week I want to meet with some our artists and see how we can taper things down hmm they spoke yesterday and also yesterday a witness that was actually there she spoke about what she's seen and what

happened I wish like I wish that shit didn't happen. I wish it would have been somebody who could have de-escalated the situation. Like, I'm not on nobody's side. I'm not blaming nobody. Like, that shit was really an accident. But that's the problem is that it was an accident. People are dying over an accident because of an argument. Like, I just spoke because I felt like that's what I needed to do.

You know what I'm saying? Because a lot of people don't know what's going on for real. It wasn't about no dice game. Yeah, I mean, accident is a term I don't think should be used in this event. Why not? An accident, if somebody pulls out a weapon, we don't know what happened, but if a weapon is pulled out, that's no accident. An accident is I have a weapon in my, you if a weapon is pulled out, that's no accident.

Accident is I have a weapon in my, you know, and I shoot myself. That's an accident. If I pull out a weapon, that weapon can be discharged at any time. Yeah, I think I saw QC release a statement and they said it was a scraped bullet. I think that might be more accurate than accident. Because to your point, you know, if you're pulling out a gun, you know, you're planning on using it. That might not have been your intended target. But, you know, if you know if you let off shots in a room full of people somebody potentially is going to get hit yeah absolutely now yesterday qc said uh they released a statement is with broken hearts and deep sadness that we mourn the loss of our beloved

brother known to the world as takeoff senseless violence and a stray bullet has taken another life from this world and we are devastated please respect his family and friends as we all continue to process this monumental loss. Yesterday, Gilly the Kid, he spoke about it, and spoke about people posting pictures and videos and all that other stuff. Something happened to a rapper or athlete or entertainer or anybody of color. The first thing you do is pull your phones out and start recording and posting on the internet man you clowns for that man y'all it's clowns for that man the last image a month want to see is they people's land on the ground bleeding the fuck out man we having mamas kids

grandmamas uncles aunties that's some dumb man But the first thing y'all do is pull your phone out. Ooh, look at such and such. Man, that s*** is cool, man. For real, man. That s*** just lost his life and you trying to get likes. Tell me how that s*** Dropping the clues, man. Gilly the King.

Gilly is absolutely correct. And here's the thing, like, I can't even look at those pictures and videos, okay? When we was driving into work that morning around 5, we started getting the calls. People were sending us the pictures, sending us videos. I didn't watch any of them. Delete, delete, delete. I don't want to take any of that trauma in. So what I don't understand is if certain individuals can't even look at the pictures and the videos,

how could y'all sit there and record them? How could you sit there in a situation like that and not pick up your phone and call 911 or something, but just sit there and record that man taking his last breath? You're not human. Like, you've become part of the algorithm. Y'all have been so desensitized to violence, desensitized to death. Somebody's last breath is just, you know, content for you to post on your Instagram or TikTok or Twitter or whatever.

Wow. Yeah. I mean, you think about it. You see something like that happening and your first response is to record it. To record. Not to see if I can help. Not to let me try to get police. Let me call 911.

Let me call an ambulance. Let me call somebody. Let me try to do something. You know, I saw people like I saw people talking about like videos online of like people, I guess, walking past takeoff when he was on the ground. And they were they were posting videos saying, well, how come such and such didn't do something? You're recording. Yeah, you're you're sitting there just recording this person walking by. Why are you not doing something?

Right. I mean, and the thing is, we all don't know. We don't know who if somebody was walking by to get help outside. We right i mean and and the thing is we all don't know we don't know who if somebody was walking by to get help outside we have no idea we don't know what these internet police are amazing like they will look at 10 second videos here five second videos here you know and and pictures and try to piece things together now they got these whole conspiracy theories about what happened and why it happened it's like come on man knock it off man we've become so desensitized to just everything. And nobody likes to deal

with reality no more. It's almost like you can sit around and discuss a conspiracy more than you can the actual reality of the situation. And we wonder why we can't never get to the root of any of these issues and actually start talking about some solutions. Yeah. I mean, you're right. And I just hate to see, especially when somebody says accident, somebody actually

pulled out a gun. That's true. Now, Deion Sanders also spoke about it. His players actually were in Houston for a game. People that are influential to you are leaving us consistently. That's our rappers. Takeoff was right. Murder in a, in a dice game in Houston where we're going.

So that eliminates all y'all leaving that hotel. Cause it ain't happening until I give you further notice sooner later we got to start changing our addresses guys that's an analogy to saying I know we this but we ain't that we got to leave that behind that we once did and that's what you guys are now you got the Jackson State royalty yeah you know man you're not whoever you were a year ago you're not even who you gonna going to be a year from now, which is a blessing. But you can't continuously do the things you've always

done and expect to get the results. It's going to have to be a change. Trouble to glue the bonds with Deion Sanders. Deion Sanders is a real leader. Deion Sanders is a real leader of men, man. Absolutely. And he wants to protect his players. But also what I do want to say, too, is Houston is a beautiful city.

Of course. There's a lot of amazing things, amazing restaurants, amazing lounges, amazing places, amazing stores, amazing minority-owned businesses out there in Houston. I do my car show out there in Houston. I go to Houston every year for Trader Truth and DJ Mr. Rogers, their events to help them with their relief gang stuff. Don't let one incident in the city make it seem like the city of Houston is horrible

because Houston is a beautiful place with a lot of loving people, and I love Houston. All right. And that is your rumor report. You did great. Welcome back, Angelique. Thank you. You can't talk yet. You have to your rumor report. You did great. Welcome back, Angelina. Thank you. You don't talk.

You can't, you can't talk yet. You have to clock in. You always do that. You always walk in here. Just sit down. Nope. You got to warm up the car.

You do know it's eight o'clock though. Yeah. It's eight. I was being responsible. Don't talk to her like you are a parent. Yeah, you do know it's eight o'clock. It's eight o'clock. You do know it's 8 o'clock though, yeah? I was being responsible. Don't talk to her like you're her parent. Yeah, you do know it's 8 o'clock. It's 8 o'clock, yeah. You do know that.

It's early. Warm the car up, B. Let us sit for a while. Go back in the house, get some coffee, come back in. I had coffee this morning. But you didn't bring us nothing? You want coffee? No.

You should have just offered it. You had coffee one time and you was in here shaking. You come in somebody's place late and you just. Wow. Now it's just somebody's place. Wow. You like you've been working there for 13 years. Like you ain't helped build this. Now it's just you just walking in somebody's place. My new time cop.

Your new time spot. Yeah. So they were like, see what traffic is like. Oh, great. You still look high from last night, dude. I wasn't high. Where was you last night? I went to the Nets game.

How that in? You see where I'm at No it was good We lost What'd you drink last night Yee? We lost What'd you drink last night Yee? I had a lot of

You can tell Yeah Casamigos 1942 And then it was Anthony Ramos' birthday So we were at Negril Oh so you went out after

Yeah we celebrated The game ended like 11 though. Mm-hmm. No, it ended earlier than that. It's written all over your face. You can see it. The game ended like 10 o'clock. Mm-hmm. Then I went over there and then I was home by midnight.

That's a damn lie. I was, but look. Alright, I'll tell you later. Oh my goodness. Charlamagne! Yes. who you with that donkey to before after the hour I need E-news social team to come to the front of the congregation

we like to have a word with them alright we'll get to that next it's the Breakfast Club good morning I was born a donkey it's the donkey of the day donkeys

donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys

donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys

donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys

donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys

donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys donkeys Yes, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, November 2nd goes to the social team over at E! News. Now, if you haven't heard, I don't know how you could have missed it, but one-third of the most influential rap group of the last decade,

the Migos, Takeoff, was fatally shot in Houston on Halloween. Definitely an L for the culture, hip hop culture, black culture, just the overall culture of humanity. Because America absolutely has a problem with gun violence. And that gun violence often leads to these kind of situations. And I don't even have the words for this, you know, know takeoff situation because anything i say just sounds like an old script you heard it all before it's literally like reporting that nick cannon is expecting another child it's just a cliche headline at this point insert any rapper's name here shot and killed at insert age here and keep it moving that's the routine it's been a routine for a long time it's gonna

probably sadly continue to be the routine rinse wash repeat somebody gets killed folks get online and talk about stopping the violence everyone does their videos their long captions about the person and how we all got to do better dig up their old grainy photos with a person to post and act like they were so cool with said individual and they give flowers to the person that they never even thought about giving to the person when they were alive and then in about a week folks are on to the next it's just the world we live in and i get it digital tributes are important you know i'm not a big digital tribute person but the outpouring of love that some individuals receive is very dope to see but most of it is performative most of it is people

trying to increase their engagement and if you don't believe that look no further than e-news now i'm not expecting e-news to be up on culture but we're not talking about no poop butt ass group here okay we're talking about you know we're not talking about some underground rap group that folks don't know we're talking about the migos okay i told y'all the most influential rap group of the past decade they helped to evolve that triplet flow that, you know, Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs did before them. They're ad-libs. You know, there's a bunch of people out here who sound like the Migos.

These guys were on SNL, for God's sake. All right, nominated for Grammys, co-headliner with Drake. What I'm basically trying to say is white people love the Migos too, okay? They were a big deal. So they are a big deal. So E! News, of course course decided to report on takeoff stuff and they tweeted out yesterday migos rapper takeoff dead at 28 police give update on investigation which i needed to update e-news was the picture y'all used because that wasn't takeoff

the picture they used was offset now i don't know if outlets do things like this on purpose because they know it will increase engagement you, please understand folks profit off your outrage. But let's just say you are completely culturally clueless. I mean, oblivious to what's going on in hip hop culture. You can't look at everyone else's picture they posted and say, hey, this isn't the same guy. OK, you know, this is the reason that the stereotype that all black guys look alike to white people will never die and to be fair i don't know if the person who posted this tweet was white but i can taste the unwashed chicken and excitement for taylor swift's new album in this tweet so i'm just going to assume they are and this is why we use the term culture vultures

because i would rather you not celebrate me at all than celebrate me just because you want to be a part of the algorithm just because you know someone's deficit trending topic doesn't mean you have to participate especially if you're just doing it because it's a trending topic this was clearly a rush job if it wasn't a rush job I'm pretty sure you would have gotten the right picture okay message the e-news and anyone who rushes to report on someone's death for their own personal gain simple task when you about to post this stuff ask yourself are you doing it because you actually care about this person are you doing it because everyone else is doing it

are you doing it because you are actually impacted by it are you doing it just for engagement e-news you just tweeted that because it's the popular thing okay because you don't care and you showed how much you don't care by not even having the right picture of takeoff up listen if you ain't never been culture don't ever comment on culture because you don't understand culture so stay the f out of the culture please now please And now please let Rami Ma give E! News social team the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb.

And salute to the legendary Tretch from Naughty by Nature. Had to remix his words just now. Okay. Yeah, drop on the clues bonds for Tretch. Shout out to Tretch. If you ain't never been culture, don't ever comment on culture because you don't understand culture. So stay the F out of the culture, please.

What's your question, Neil? So, I am, I'm 25 right now and I am just dating around, like, talking to different girls and trying to meet someone. And

I talk to different people and I talk to and I, like, go out on dates and I come off as, like, very friendly, very genuine very like authentic and we'll talk, me and like the other girl, we'll talk for like weeks or months but then

always it ends with you're a really nice guy, you're really sweet but I don't see this going anywhere and it's kind of like I think I come off as like that nice guy type and it's almost of like I think I come off as like that nice guy type and it's almost like that nice guys don't finish or like they're too nice

I can't say the nice guy so it's like I don't know how I can change my nice guy personality but then you shouldn't you should never change who you are to be in a relationship you just have to find the right person and do you really want somebody that doesn't want a nice guy do you want to not be nice i mean that's you know what i'm saying you

gotta be who you are right yeah like it's oh sorry no go ahead see look you're being too nice right now go ahead yeah no like i don't know it's i don't know if it's because i like just go like too out or like go simping and like just like be like way too much where they're like, oh, wow, like it's overwhelming or like I don't know. Like give me an example of what you feel like you do that might be overwhelmingly nice. So this just happened like a week ago. I don't even know if this is like overwhelmingly nice, but like I was talking to this and um she was texting me saying like she had a bad this was last saturday so she texted me saying she had a bad saturday she was crying she had all this this and um i wasn't able to respond to her right away but then um later that night uh i she

was asleep so i sent her like a voice note and i was just like hey i'm really sorry you had a long day and like i just like was really sweet about it but then i don't know if that like kind of turned her off because after that she was just like i felt like she got a little distant then just a couple days ago she was like you're a really sweet guy but i don't know if this is working out and like i don't know like what happened in between And like, I don't know, like, what happened in between that time. But I don't know if I just came off a little too much, too fast. You know, you should,

with these women who you're no longer dating, right? Maybe you should ask them what it is. Since you're not dating them anymore. Because it's hard for me to assess what the real situation is. I do think that there's a period of time where we all like the bad guy and we like the challenge. But then there comes a time when you're like,

I'm tired of the games and I do want somebody that treats me well and somebody who's really nice. But it has to be somebody who's worthy and deserving of your niceness too. But I also will say this, if that's genuinely who you are, I don't want you to not be who you are right you know so you don't want to play games you don't want to act mean you don't want to do certain things that doesn't represent you but i do feel like in the getting to know you stages

you know you don't want to do too much too early right okay got you yeah because for me um i'm at this age where it's like when i start talking to someone, I'm like I'm not like thinking over the top, but it's like I'm not going to I'm thinking about like potential. I'm not just like it's not casual. It's not like we're just going to I'm just doing this. You're dating with intention. Exactly. Exactly. And so and so usually like early on, I try to tell that to them and make sure that we're on the same page before moving on. Well,

you know, I, I, I understand what you're saying, but I also feel like before, you know, if you want to settle down with somebody longterm, you have to get to know them as a friend and you don't want to put that

pressure on somebody too early. Let's just even see if we get along before I start thinking about that. You know, and I understand that you are dating with intention and everybody is a potential, this could be a long-term situation or a potential wife. But before you even get to that point,

see if you like this person as a human being. Got you, yeah. All right? But I don't think it would be a bad thing for you to just talk to some of the people that y'all have ended it and just be like, hey, I just you know how to I just wanted to see if we could talk. I just wanted to see. I know it's not going anywhere, but I just wanted to just ask you, where do you think I went wrong? Just so I can get some honest opinions and advice. For sure. Yeah.

And it's funny because like half those people that I don't talk to, like we're still really good friends on social media and stuff. But it's just like no relationships. Yeah, just ask. Yeah, I appreciate that. All right. All right, well, good luck because let me tell you something. They'll tell you nice guys finish last, but that's not true. There's nothing that when you get to a certain point, you're like,

I'm tired of all these games. I'm tired of all these a-holes. I want a nice guy. Appreciate it. Yeah, thank you so much. You're welcome. ASCII, 800-585-1051. If you need relationship

Yeah, because you stumbled. If you'd play a video of Jamie Foxx blaming it on the alcohol that would have made more sense. This is a romantic song. You're talking about did he play this for you? No, because Jay says stumbled up in the house

and then he stumbled up in the house to have sex with his wife. Shut up. You need to think just because you see the word drunk don't try to make a correlation. No, I heard stumbled up

in his house. That's what made me think about it. You should shut up. No, I don't want to. No, you should. Make me. Why are you guys arguing over me being drunk?

You're right. You're right. Touche. Touche. Alright, let's get to to. No, you should. Make me. Why are you guys arguing over me being drunk? You're right. You're right. Touche. It makes sense. Touche. All right. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jamal Tinsley.

Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee.

It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. All right. Now, according to reports, Jamal Tinsley paid $250,000 in fines because he didn't want to shower after practices and games. He didn't want to get naked with the rest of his teammates, according to his former teammate, Bruno Sondov, who played for the Indiana Pacers from 2000 until 2002. So they said he was a great and reliable point guard. He showed up every time for the Pacers, but he had a problem with the organization, specifically Reggie Miller. And they noticed that he never took showers with the team. So they actually made a rule

that forced them to have to do that. What? Yeah, you have to shower with the team after games, after practices. And they decided to penalize him every time he didn't shower. And he did not budge. He would rather shower at home than shower with the team.

So he got fined $500 for the first fine, and it was doubled every other time that he didn't take a shower. It ended up accumulating to around $250,000. I don't see the problem with him not wanting to shower in front of people. He might not want to be naked in front of people. And that's nobody's business why he didn't want to shower with his teammates. I'm sure he had a perfectly good personal reason, and it's none of our business,

and he should not have been forced to take showers with people. Maybe he just wouldn't want to shower with his teammates. I'm sure he had a perfectly good personal reason and it's none of our business and he should not have been forced to take showers with people. Maybe he just wouldn't want to shower with nobody. Like, yeah, what was the problem? Like, was he stink? Like, it doesn't matter. I don't know. They just made it a rule.

At the hotel. We don't know what was going on in that locker room. Somebody might have been flirting with him. You know what I mean? Every time he get naked, they... And sometimes people don't like being naked. That's right. He might have a micro penis.

What? Don't put that naked that's right he might have a micro penis what? don't put that on that man what? just saying out of nowhere why would you put that on he might have a micro penis what?

why would you do that now that's the story no I'm just saying it's reasons I'm sure it's a personal reason a perfectly good personal reason and it's none of our business that's all I'm saying

well no I don't want to say the other way I don't want to say it the other way. I don't want to put that on him either. Goodness gracious. You know when I went to Hampton, we all had to shower with each other? You're about to tell a crazy story. I would have to.

You loved it. Shut up. I would shower. You loved it. And I would poop like four in the morning when nobody was there. And the shower? You know, the toilets and the shower was connected. So I would poop and take a shower.

Yeah, you got to make sure. So you didn't want to shower with anyone? No. You got to make sure it's empty before you get in a shower. Yeah, you gotta make sure. So you didn't want to shower with anyone? No. You gotta make sure it's empty before you get in the shower with everybody, right? Now, what was your reason for not wanting to do it since we're discussing? I just didn't want to take a shower with anybody else.

But for no reason? I'm sorry, I just don't wake up, like, hey, let's all take a shower with each other. I don't see the problem with that. Like, I really don't understand why this is an issue. That means, like, man, I wish I would've went to college. No, I don't.

Not at all. But I didn't take a shower. It wasn't something I thought about or I did as a kid. Like, hey, let's all take showers. So, no, I wouldn't take a shower. Yeah, I think that's whack to force somebody to have to shower with people. I don't like that. Yeah.

I don't think that you should be penalized. I mean, he still was going home and showering. Yeah, you shouldn't be penalized. You shouldn't be penalized for your penis. Like thereof. You don't know if that's the reason. I know. I'm just going to throw that on that man the I'm just trying to help you help him out

I'm sure that helps you're right I'm just the moral of the story I'm sure it's a perfectly good personal reason and it's none of our business and he shouldn't have been penalized all right now Brittany Griner's wife Sherelle Griner is speaking out and she's talking about the

denied appeal for Brittany Griner she was on The View and she said that everything was just dis speaking out and she's talking about the denied appeal for Brittany Griner. She was on The View and she said that everything was just disheartening and she's in complete disbelief. People convicted of murder in Russia who has a sentence way less than BG. And it just makes absolutely no sense to me. And so right now, there's no other way for me to see it except the fact that this is political. I mean, BG is an international basketball player. You know, she's been in Russia for seven, eight years of winning championships, undefeated seasons. She's won Russian MVP.

I mean, she loves playing over there. And to see that the totality of the circumstances of who she is as a person was not taken into account when they rendered a decision. Well, they're using it. Yeah. They're using it. It makes me feel like this, at this point, has to be political because it's not her footprint. Of course. Her footprint is amazing for Russia.

She's paying taxes there. I mean, she's great for Russia, you know? I wonder how this is going to influence players going to play in Russia. Because I wouldn't go play. If you're a women's basketball player, regardless of how much you might need the money, you wouldn't go play in Russia, would you? No way. No way. Why would I? They don't protect us players. I don't think anybody that

plays basketball should go play in Russia. I don't think anybody should go perform in Russia. Yeah. Until she's released. Alright, and Chadwick Boseman's widow has spoken for the first time about him passing away. She was on Good Morning America with Whippy Goldberg.

And here is Simone Ledward Boseman speaking about those details. When you decided not to share what was happening, were you scared somebody was going to dig and find out that he was much iller than people thought? It was COVID when things were really starting to spiral. And that meant that everybody was in their house. And there was no pressure for anybody to go outside. It seemed like, is this a crazy coincidence that we get to actually be inside? We get to be here with family, with, you know, together. And everybody in the world is also experiencing this togetherness

in the midst of this awful, scary, unpredictable time. We kept that circle real. Our circle was basically a dot. I know you all can't wait for Wakanda forever, too. Yeah, man, sending our healing energy, for sure. I was thinking about Chadwick this week because of Wakanda Forever. And I know we would have probably saw him in the next week or so because he always came to the Breakfast Club.
