Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Roxy. Good morning, Tez. Good morning, everybody. Peace to the hood whisperer, Tezlyn Figaro. Let's jump right into it. Joe Manchin, what's going on?

Yeah, oh, man. Senator Joe Manchin said Thursday he is thinking seriously about dropping his affiliation with the Democrat Party and becoming an independent. Exactly. I want to know who took him serious as a serious Democrat. thinking seriously about dropping his affiliation with the Democrat Party and becoming an independent. Exactly. I want to know who took him serious as a serious Democrat. Let's listen to what he had to say, and we'll talk about it on the other side. You've said many times that you're not like the Democrats today or the National Democratic Party. You're not like the National Republican Party.

Why not just say, you know what, I'm going to be an independent? You thought about that? Absolutely. Absolutely. Are you going to do it? Well,'m i'm thinking seriously what's the best for me i have to have peace of mind basically i the brand has become so bad the d brand and our brand in west virginia the d brand because it's nationally brand it's not the democrats in west virginia it's the democrats in washington or the washington policies of Democrats, you've heard me say a million times, I'm not a Washington Democrat.

This might come as a shock to all of y'all, but Joe Manchin didn't left the Democratic Party. OK, absolutely. That's a relationship where physically he was there, but he'd been left mentally. All right. Absolutely. That man been a dino, a Democrat name only. And, you know, we've been telling the Democratic Party to call that fool out forever. And they just make excuses for him. That's exactly it. You know, I was definitely good on get on my soapbox a minute about that. Uh, you know, when you ask the necessary tough questions, you know, everybody got upset, you know, Oh, I can't believe he has.

Oh, yes, honey. He told you, but then now who's telling you now at the end of the day, Joe Manchin has sat here and pimped the let's just be clear about it. Pimp the Democrat Party ran interference on multiple policy. They were trying to push like the Inflation Reduction Act. The Biden's Environmental Protection Agency got involved in that, got involved with the infrastructure bill, just sat there and caused all type of chaos. Nobody called him out, didn't want to say what it was. And now he's leaving you and possibly running for the Democrat of running for president to once again take votes away from the Democrat Party. So I really want to know, you know, what Democrats have to say about this, Charlamagne, because they had it all figured out. And now he has left you in the wet spot. Remember when I had the vice president, Kamala Harris, on my late night talk show and I was pushing her on getting Joe Manchin on the same page and everybody got upset with me.

They sure did. As if I was saying something wrong. They sure did. Lord have mercy. They sure did. They got upset. And, oh, he told you? Yes, honey.

Yes. So where's the yes committee? Where's Team Yes at? Team Yes. Democratic Party Team Yes. Where they at? All right. Well, that is front page news Tez, we'll see you in a couple of minutes

This is the rumor report. It's Roxy Romeo. Roxy's been an iHeartMafia all year. If you want to know if something is, like, cool or if it's hip, the only

way that you're going to know is if somebody from the culture, the black culture, co-signs it. On the Breakfast Club. Turn it up. So, we are going to learn something together today because I definitely didn't know this. Envy started schooling me earlier this morning. Of course, you know, today is hip hop's 50th birthday. So where did hip hop actually first start? ago, August 11th, 1973, a young lady named Cindy Campbell wanted to throw a back-to-school

party in her Bronx apartment, Recreation Center. In an attempt to save money, Cindy asked her brother to DJ the party since he had this incredible sound system that he was known for. Well, Cindy's brother wanted to play music all night long so that people could dance the entire time. So he played the breakbeats from all the

biggest records on a continuous loop on two turntables. Cindy's brother, who DJed that party in the Bronx, is now widely known as DJ Cool Herc. Cool Herc. And that was the inception of hip hop. From that point on, that became the party culture in New York City. Seven years later, hip hop got its first commercial hit in 1980 with Rap is Delight by Sugar Hook Gang. And the name hip-hop came directly

from the song, which I think we have. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 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. The Waikana tribe owned 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.

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.

Check it.

And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets.

How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child?

These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Some of you have been with us since season one, and others are just tuning in. Whatever the case, and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family, where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from others, and the secrets we keep from ourselves. Listen to Season 11 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Click. Yeah, shout to Sylvia Robinson. That happened actually in 1979, but shout to the Sugar Hill Records team and gang out in Jersey. I mean, it happened in 1979? 79 is when that record came out. Oh, okay, got you, got you.

Yeah, it changed the course of all of our lives. You know, we are all here because of hip-hop. I'm wondering why we just celebrating hip-hop's 50th. Why don't we celebrate hip-hop's birthday every year? Right. I mean, it's one of those things, I think hip-hop is one of those genres where it's they always say it's a young person's game and if you listen to rock and roll or you

listen to pop or you listen to uh even r&b or reggae like they celebrate good music and we don't a lot of times like we don't hear none of those records i mean they got classic rock stations yeah but but even on the classic rock stations they still play old records like if you listen to pop stations they'll still play yeah they'll'll still play Nirvana and the new pop station. They'll still play those type of records, even R&B. On the R&B station, they'll play new and old, but a lot of times we don't. But definitely salute to hip-hop. If it wasn't for hip-hop and the creation of it, I mean, I wouldn't be here today.

I wouldn't be a DJ. I wouldn't be doing the thing that I love. So I always salute the OGs and the people that came before me. So it is 2023 hip-hop's 50th birthday hip-hop has become a culture shifting worldwide influencer from music to fashion which Charlamagne you talked about uh hair and even the way we speak so today we salute DJ Kool Herc who is now reportedly 68 years old and still active yes and you know what Envy I feel like part of the reason is you look at a lot

of like influential people in this industry that may not necessarily be artists like i know i've definitely heard jermaine dupri talk about the fact that hip-hop is a young man's game and la reed so when you have people that are that influential saying that then you know people are going to start believing it uh i wouldn't say that jermaine dupri came up as a dancer for houdini so he he's he embodies everything hip-hop and he's one of the main people that have lasted decades in this industry. So when I see artists like LL Cool J, who was here this week, who's, I mean, when did LL put out his first record? 80-something? He was 16. I mean, saying hip-hop is a young man's game is just a cliché thing to say, because the reality is if you take a step back and you look at hip-hop in its totality, it's not just a young man's game anymore.

But like Biggie said, whoever thought hip-hop would take it this far, nobody probably thought hip-hop would get to 50 years old and you would still have people in their 40s, late 40s, over 50, that's still relevant and still doing things in a very impactful way for our culture. Yeah, you got Grandmaster Flash. That's still out there. You got DJ Red Alert. That's still out there.

You got some of these OGs and icons from Slick Rick to Run DMC to Houdini to Jermaine Dupri. That's still out there, still relevant, still making music, still touring, still doing well. But I was thinking about the people like the Jay-Z's and the Nas's

and the Dr. Dre's and the Diddy's who are doing so many amazing things in the business world. But it's all rooted in the foundation of hip-hop. How important do you think it is for the younger hip-hop artists to know

the history? Because you know that most of them don't. I'm wondering if they even have ever heard that song. Well, it's very important and um you know you always have have room to learn but what i think is uh more important for these younger artists is one thing that hip-hop being 50 has shown us is in order to be truly great right to be considered truly a legend you got to have longevity right because you're talking with the people we just named have been around for 25, 30 plus years so in order to really be considered a great

to really be considered a legend you can't just be hot for a few years you gotta have that longevity you gotta have a decade of bettering

to me personally yeah more than 10 years though I think to be that 20 even getting the conversation to me you gotta have a decade absolutely like you look at Snoop you look at Master P you look at Dr. Dre you look at OutKast to be that 20. Even getting the conversation to me, you got to have a decade in.

Absolutely. Like you look at Snoop, you look at Master P, you look at Dr. Dre, you look at OutKast, you look at T.I. That's right. You know,

those brothers have been doing it for a long time and still relevant, still active. So you just got to salute them. I have no problem entertaining conversations about Drake being one of the GOATs,

Kendrick being one of the GOATs, Cole being one of the GOATs, even a future because they got a decade in. Correct. You know, if you got a decade of better in, you being one of the GOATs, even a future because they got a decade in. Correct. You know, if you got a decade of better in, you can be in the conversation because hip hop has shown us

that you got to have longevity in order to be considered a legend. That's right. Agreed. And all morning long, I'm going to be doing mixes that's representing hip hop, whether it's Naughty by Nature

Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have our special guest host with us, Roxy Romeo. She's back. And let's get back into some front page news. Hey, Tess. Hey, good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Roxy and Charlamagne Tha God.

Peace, Tess. Now, let's jump right into it. Let's talk about this teenage girl with autism. What happened with this young lady? Yeah, this was a real interesting story. It happened in the UK, but we have similar bills as well that protect the LGBT community. So I thought this was really interesting to look at. Police have been accused of heavy handedness after an incident involving West Yorkshire in Leeds of a 16 year old who suffers from scoliosis and autism. She was dragged out of her home for making a comment that the police officer looked like her lesbian Nana.

So she was dragged away, kicking and screaming. Now, let me just kind of break down what happened. The mother said that the officer took the comment the wrong way and that she was not homophobic. They entered her home and the daughter had panic attacks and they were trying to tell her, listen, she's autistic. She didn't mean anything by the comment and the officer basically said, we don't care. We're going to arrest her for a homophobic offense. Now, just backing up a little bit, they brought her home because she was out

apparently intoxicated somewhere. So, when they brought her home and she made the statement, that's when the female officer got offended. I have some audio here of just her explaining you know with the mother trying to plead with her saying she's autistic now while this you can see this video on tiktok while the mother is telling her listen she's autistic the girl is hiding in a

corner and so she's pleading with the officers and you can hear the officers they have a very strong accent but you can hear the officer saying you know know, I don't care. She's going to jail. Let's take a listen. She's autistic. She's autistic. I know you're autistic. I'm telling you, I'm going to send you to jail for your house. I'm going to send you to jail for your house. I'm going to send you to jail for your house. I'm going to send you to jail for your house.

She's autistic. Can you stop saying it, please? She's got autism. Can you just stand there? She's in a cupboard. She can't go anywhere. She can't go anywhere. Stand there, dear. They're going to remove her for what?

She said the word lesbian. Her name is a lesbian. She's married to a woman. She's not on the phone. Look what you're cleansing your face with. Go away from my teenage daughter. First of all, if they start arresting people in america for homophobic public offenses it'll be a lot of people in jail and police officers all over the world need higher emotional intelligence because if your ego is so fragile that somebody's saying you look like they're lesbian nana cause you causes you to react like that i would actually say that the police officer is the homophobic one if the word lesbian triggers you that much to cause you to react like that i would say you're the homophobic yeah how dare you call me that

what do you know what's happened since well she was arrested um so uh right now the the family is saying that you know they're trying to do what they can to say that these officers overreacted and literally with seven officers guys that came and dragged this young lady and if you go watch it on on tiktok it's very disturbing because the girl is literally screaming you know they're kicking pulling her out kicking and screaming i just can't imagine you know i'm a mother i know you are as well and all of us are parents imagine you know your disabled child you know that's trying that's literally having a panic attack and they're taking her out because she said somebody looked like a lesbian and and i wanted to flip this uh add this into the conversation what about the disabilities

act you know what about protecting those who have disabilities you know when when does that come into play which one trumps the other so i just found this is really disturbing and just as fyi public order uh homophobic public order offense is generally something related to actions that disrupt public peace and harmony. And again, this was not disrupting public peace. The girl said it in her house. But it does include verbal abuse, harassment, threats, or violence directed at individuals or groups. But again, in the public. And that's what the mother kept saying.

She said this in the home. Why are you taking my child to jail for saying that you look like her lesbian uh now and lesbian is not a slur no by the way that's right i thought it was a real term yeah that's just a descriptor to me because it obviously doesn't look like somebody's lesbian nana she actually looks like a gay young man i mean she's like that's what she looked like to me you're going to jail you're going to jail the picture i saw she looked like a gay young man that's what she looked like to me we all know that cops are not always right to begin with. I mean, so that's number one.

But, I mean, this is just absolutely horrible. They haven't apologized. Has she been released? Like, are they even claiming any, you know, fault at all, the police? Well, I mean, the officer said that, again, this is legal, you know, to make these these types of comments. So I'll follow and see, you know, what else happens with it. But this this is a breaking story. So it just happens that we only have the information that's available to us. But again, I thought it was interesting because when you start setting precedents for these types of things, you know, how does it follow and how will it follow the United States?

Of course, the United States does have, you know, a federal hate crime that does address LGBTQ plus community. But that is usually something related to an actual crime. Canada does have provisions about hate speech. And obviously the United Kingdom does. So I was just I really just started digging into this yesterday because I wanted to see, you know, how far does this happen? You know, how has this happened in the United States? states and so far i haven't seen anything similar in the united states right now i think it's over 23 states that do recognize this type of crime but again it's usually more related to what we would consider criminal not just a statement yeah i think the

officer is the homophobic one here like if getting called a lesbian offends you that much, if getting called a lesbian triggers you that much, you got deeper issues. That's right. You know what I mean? That don't have nothing to do with that young autistic girl. All right.

That's right. Well, that is front page news. And let me send a rest in peace and condolences to anybody that has family or that's lost somebody out in Maui in Hawaii. They're saying the death toll

rose to over 55 already and there's over a thousand people missing that they can't get in in Hawaii. They're saying the death toll rose to over 55 already and there's over a thousand people missing that they can't get in contact with. They were saying people had to jump in water to avoid the fire. So I just want to send condolences and definitely rest in peace. They're saying it's going to cost billions of dollars to rebuild Maui. So

alright. Oh and listen, make sure you subscribe to Teslin Figaro's podcast, Discretion Shot No Chaser podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network.

And when we come back, Yo Gotti will be joining us.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's The Breakfast Club. I'm hip hop. Celebrating 50 years of hip hop morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got some special guests joining us today we got yo goddy and also the producer uh young d welcome welcome welcome how's it feeling how you feeling god you just went on a tour for your birthday, man. Oh, yeah. Every time we have Gotti up here, I just love the first interview of Gotti where we had Gotti for 30 minutes.

He might have said five words, and now Gotti's opened up. He's traveling. He's just a CEO. I just love to see the transformation of Gotti. So how's it been being CEO? Less music. I know you got a mixtape out now, but really developing your acts. Hard.

Shout out to Young D, man. He's able to produced that joint. How's it been developing those acts as opposed to diving into the music as much as you were before? I mean, I think I got the same passion for both. You know what I mean? I always had it from the beginning.

I just knew, like, you know, it's a time for everything. I had to get to a certain point in the artistry point, you know what I'm saying, to go to the executive. But I think it's the same satisfaction for me, you know what I'm saying to go to the executive but i think it's the same satisfaction for me you know i'm saying like seeing an artist win that i work with is like i get the same like validation to seeing myself i think that's why i'm so like passionate about it

you know i mean it's so into it into the details of artists i work with is it's just like if it was myself i'm like selfless when it come to that you know what I mean like our sales are the same how do you know when it's time to take the executive jacket off and get back in the trenches as an artist like how did you know

this was time to do our shows you show it's just energy I go off energy I'm still like a fan of music at the same time so when I'm listening to music

I can hear when I feel like something is missing you know what I mean so you know if I feel like I can you know try to deliver it I missing You know what I mean So you know If I feel like I can You know Try to deliver it I try

You know what I'm saying So And I feel like To me This mixtape to me Is like outside music You know I feel like a lot of the music

Like laid back In your feelings And Get high music Or You know what I'm saying Like I feel like It's a

Hustle music It's kind of like missing you know so what I do what GZ do what you know saying like in that era I feel like I know like get money music mm-hmm you feel me I feel like you know you need some good money music I can feel it with this one yeah I was gonna say what made you go back to the elements of the mixtape cuz you could have did an album we could have did an EP but you decided to link up with with a drama and do a gangster girl version when i think about the whole get money era that this word took me back to you know i'm saying like it's the whole era i'm like you make it fun

like it ain't that serious really for me at this point like i want to make like like it ain't number 10 songs on here so this is like eight minutes it's like the shortest project i've ever put out since i've been doing music. So it ain't about putting a lot of tracks on. It's like an art piece. You know what I mean? Ten songs, only to write ten songs. Nothing is just filling me in.

If we feel like it went hard, don't put it on there. So if we feel like we had a number eight hard song, we don't put eight. You said on the project that you're not doing no more albums. Yeah, mixtapes. Just takes from here on out because you don't care about the charts. Do you really feel that way? Yeah, of course. Why?

Clearly, you don't have no more album obligations then. No, no, no. I'm 100% independent. Wow. Yeah. So why not do an album? Is it too much pressure? No, I just think that's a mental thing too though

for me too it's like when i say i'm doing a mixtape i don't know it's just like i've been a different mind state when i say i'm doing an album you know most time when i do a mixtape i don't spend a lot of time on it i may do it in a week you know i'm saying 10 days nine days something like that you know you may be working on your album for six months eight months you know saying like going back and forth so i think it's kind of like when i came up in the mixtape era mixtape was almost like practice it was like man i'm gonna do this before the album like it's kind of like yeah this is a warm-up before the album but they always be special you know i mean so that's kind of like what i'm on what made you get glow realorilla, a made-back truck? Glorilla bought her first car not too long ago.

Like, you know, it's crazy. Like, the whole, like, probably a year run, she didn't even have a car. You know what I'm saying? Not because she couldn't afford it. Of course she could buy a car, but she wasn't even, like, Glorilla. She didn't really be on that. You know what I'm saying? So I wanted to buy that type of car because she probably wouldn't even

have bought it. Glorilla's taking their paper. The internet said that's Glorilla money anyway. They said you just spend Close tag of that paper. The internet say that's Gorilla money anyway. They say you just spending money on her budget. I mean, I mean,

no, no, we don't have budgets. It's more definitely my money. You know what I'm saying? You feel me? So she's not going

to look at a statement later on and be like, $400,000? No, no, no, no, no,

no, no. And if, you know, I'm the type of person that like, when we have some type of issues,

I'm the type of person that like, we just don't have some type of issues. You know what I'm saying? It's too like, when we have type of issues, I'm the type of person that like, we just don't have type of issues. You know what I'm saying? It's too much paper. It's too much paper floating around. I have money issues. Another time you put it on social media that I think it was a couple million dollars for any lawyer that can help you get 4-2 out.

Yeah, 4-2. Did anybody call? Did anybody reach out? What's the process? What's going on with 4-2? Everybody reached out. You know what I'm saying? But they can't really do nothing.

But Doug already, you know, we rock with who Doug Loyal is. He good. He was good from the beginning. You know what I'm saying? Just we thought we can get him home early and we would bust a move. You said he's short. So you coming home soon? Yeah.

How soon? We know? Like six to eight days or something like that. Oh, wow. Okay, okay. So before the end of the year. Yeah. Young D did this whole project? Yeah, well, most of it. The, okay. So before the end of the year. And Young D did this whole project?

Yeah, well, most of it, the executive produced it. He produced most of the records, but the executive produced the whole project, meaning, like, I worked with him, like, you know, even if I got to be

from another producer, I don't even know the type of energy and tempos and stuff like that we was going in. Was it a lot of pressure, D? A lot of pressure. Okay.

I was just mixing my style with his style. Where you from, D? It wasn't a lot of pressure. Okay. I was just mixing my style with his style. Where you from, D? Jackson, Tennessee. Jackson, Tennessee. How y'all connect? Yeah, you know, we found him,

he was 14 years old. I was going to say, D, look young. Yeah, he's 17. He was 16 or 17 now. 17. He's 17 now. We met him,

he was 14 on Instagram Live. What you mean on Instagram Live? He was on Live and he said, I'm a producer. And he sent those some beats and it kind of rocked from there.

And he sent Bag some beats. And then me and Bag was talking about him. You know the young dude, number 14. And me and Bag actually collaborated and signed them together

when he was 14. What did your parents say when you have, most parents look at the rap game as, nah, it's not going to be, it's going to take a long time and you're not going to be successful. So what did your parents say when both have most parents look at the rap game the rap game is nah it's not gonna be it's gonna take a long time and you're not gonna be

successful so what did your parents say when both these platinum artists at the time said I want to sign you they was happy they believed in it from the jump

and they let you go they let me do me really how do they do you need to travel with him and his dad to pull up to the studio yeah you're that young

you gotta have conversation with the parents just to let them know what the plan is yeah you know even when you're doing business, they're young. The parents got to be involved and all that. But their dad was super supportive. We'd travel with them to the studio session and everything.

And when we would cook up, we had these CMG sessions. He'd come to them when we'd cook up live in the studio. Their dad would bring them down, though. Man, one record you got on the album, man, with Moneybag, yo, Mind My Business. Yeah. I swear, man, that's how everybody feel when they come from a certain environment. You know what I'm saying? Because you want to help.

Yeah. But sometimes you don't feel like your help is appreciated. Yeah. Then you don't really know what you can do. So, sometimes you're just like, man, I'm just going to mind my business. Yeah. Point to my people. It's always been me.

Yeah. It's always been me. I think that's, like like one of the things streets teach you in the beginning like you know i call it your survivor skills you know i'm saying like a lot of people survive longer just staying out of people's business you know i'm saying like this man just i don't hear nothing i don't see nothing i don't know nothing i ain't even got no opinion on nothing it's out of the loop but then when you somebody like yourself who is a figure you know what i mean and

impact come from the street you probably can't change a lot of the next generation's lives or show them a better way i think we we we put we put in work to make changes where we can it's still a lot of stuff we do do you know i'm saying oh it's a lot of stuff we do do that we do think is effective to help you know i mean uh but i think it's a land right it's a land where you can do that and it's a land where like i was backfiring you or or you just you need to stay mad you're being this you know i'm saying all right we got more with your goddy when we come back so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody is dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with Yo Gotti. I was going to ask, with 50 years of hip-hop being this week,

what got you into hip-hop being a young hustler from Memphis? What made you say, this is where I want to be? What made you fall in love with it? I mean, I was just a fan of it from the gate since a kid. You know what I'm saying? I remember standing in front of the Flo Model TV, just looking at videos that was out, and I just always thought it was dope and fly.

I just was a fan of hip-hop from the beginning you know I'm saying before I even knew that I would be in it I was a fan of it and did you know that was gonna be your way out of what you were doing or it was just I actually didn't know you know I'm saying even when I first started rapping I didn't believe that it was possible to actually happen because coming from where I'm from we didn't know anybody famous we didn't know like nobody that had made it, like, from rapping, from being an NFL player, being an NBA player, a talk host. You know what I'm saying? We didn't know, like, anybody that made it.

You know what I'm saying? Other than, you know, the dope boys from my neighborhood who had fly cars and jewelry and the Fila outfits. You know what I'm saying? Like, so, you know, even when I was doing it, it was kind of like, it was just something to do. I didn't really think that, like, it can really, you know what I'm saying, turn into what it didn't turn to. When did you realize and be like, you know, even when I was doing it, it was kind of like it was just something to do. I didn't really think that, like, it can really, you know what I'm saying, turn into what it turned to. When did you realize and be like, you know what, I got to move where people don't see me because a lot of people don't want what's best for me?

It took me a while to understand that, you know what I'm saying? And I think as an older guy, I understood them more, you know what I'm saying? Ooh, explain that. Yeah, you know, like you just said, like, I didn't understand when I was young why I didn't see them. You know what I mean? I remember being in Memphis and they were telling me, like, oh, sister, I'm staying in L.A. And I'm like, why the fuck am I in L.A.? You feel me?

Like, I'm like, you feel me? But now I get it. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? But when I was young, I ain't really. You know, like, I'm man enough to say that, like, you know, it's like you just change mindsets. You know what I'm saying? And you learn and you mature and you see things differently.

But when I was younger, I most definitely was one of them, probably like what the young guys is today. You feel me? You know what I'm saying? So I used to think like that and didn't understand some of the things. I want to talk about your pockets a little bit. You're part owner of an MLS team. A lot of money right there. How did that come about?

And did you ever have any, like, well, maybe I shouldn't invest in this. Yeah, you said that. Because back then, this was before, I mean, it's a soccer team. Did you ever think to yourself, maybe I shouldn't invest in this? What made you say, I'm going to put my money in this? I never thought I shouldn't invest in it. It was more so

like, can I invest more? I knew it was the play. For multiple reasons. I do my research, for for one i got the right business team around me so we do all the right fact checking and making sure that the business is in the right standpoint so that alone on paper it was the right business move but my passion for uh diversifying and growing and accomplishing different things as a hustler also was a big part of it and then soccer was like the only sport my son ever played so that's how i even know i was gonna ask you didn't seem like you played soccer as a kid i never even seen and i told them that

when we was when i was getting into the team that i never even seen a soccer field when i was a kid when i seen a soccer ball i thought it was a flat football we used to shoot basketball seen a soccer field when I was a kid. When I seen a soccer ball, I thought it was a flat football. We used to shoot basketball with a soccer ball. Just because it was a ball, you know what I'm saying? And we just thought, like, man, why the ball flat? Why it won't bounce? So we had no exposure to soccer in the way I grew up. But my son different.

He went to different type of schools, right? So they had a soccer field in his school. And it's the sporty place. So between going to practices and games, you know, I learned what's sporty. So on the opportunity, presenting yourself, I was familiar with the sport. How far removed do you feel like you are from the street? All the way. Okay, okay.

You know what I'm saying? I'm all the way removed from the street. 1,000%. I would hope so. 2,000%. Yeah, 2,000%. You know what I mean? I think streets is not like an action. You know what I'm saying? street one thousand i would hope so yeah two thousand percent two thousand you know i mean i think streets is not like an action you know i'm saying i think it's a way of thinking meaning

like i don't think there's certain way of thinking whatever like leave my mindset meaning like and that's just from like a protection standpoint or common sense standpoint or street sense standpoint meaning like just knowing how to move right so i can stay behind three security guard gates or whatever i still pull up to the house same way you know i'm saying i still look if i pull up if it's too dark i may not go in the house that's right you know that's what i mean by street mentality you know i'm saying i mean like it's a feel you know i mean it's still to the day where I pull up to the house sometimes and I just look and I keep going. I just don't feel it's safe to go in the night.

I go to the hotel room. But that's a trait I got from in the street. But do you still feel that way though? Yeah, but do you still feel that way? Like, now to this day? Yeah. You ain't got cameras in the house? You can't look at your phone?

I got everything. That's what I'm saying. I got cameras. I got 24-hour guards. I got animals. You know what I'm saying? I got every form of protection you can have. You know what I'm saying? I got every form of protection you can have. You know what I'm saying?

And I still move like that. Damn. That's PTSD, bro. That's exactly it. But everything that's going on, and you look at your career, and you look at your life, and I remember you putting out the record, and you just threw a shot out there for Angela Simmons, and to see it 360 and now that you're actually dating. What was that original conversation like?

Was it a joke? Was it like- What dating what was that original conversation like was it a joke was it like what you mean the original like the first first conversation absolutely the very first time i ever said anything to her was it was after the song i just told her i was serious you know what i'm saying because i seen her and then it was like a joke and i'm like nah like funny i'm serious you know what I'm saying did she think it was serious or she was like no joke you know what I'm saying

word up yeah that was the first thing I ever told her first time I ever said did she take you serious when you told her I think so

yeah yeah yeah I think so on the album you say I ain't never I ain't never lost a crush I missed a follow up or something yeah

I'm pretty consistent I'm pretty consistent is I'm pretty consistent. Is the record, is the one, is that about her? Oh, yeah, yeah. It was inspired by her for sure. You know what I'm saying?

She was in the studio with me. You know, when I record, I come off the top on, right? Mm-hmm. So when I loaded the beat up and I was in the booth, like she was in the studio,

one of them in the studio with me, her, and somebody else, you know, that's what came out. Wow. How has it been to be so so public because usually you have been very private about your private life whether it's

whoever you were dating or family members so how was it to have your life on front street has it been difficult it's different i mean i don't say it's difficult but it's different people judge you too much or is it always i don't care about none of that bro again i come from where like i don't think these type of like judgments and opinions about none of that bro Again I come from where like I don't think these type of like Judgments and opinions Like none of that can really hurt me I come from like The worst already You know what I mean

So it ain't It's just different It's just different And I think the reason why I was never public It wasn't because Of an issue with the people Or nothing you know what I'm saying

More like a safety thing You know what I'm saying You know what I'm saying More like you don't really want Nobody to know who your family is You know what I mean I think the difference is You already know who she is You already know who I am You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You don't really want nobody to know who your family is. That's right. You know what I think? The difference is you already know who she is. You already know who I am.

You know what I'm saying? You think you would get married? I don't know. I don't know. You say she the one. You know what I mean? She is. You know what I'm saying?

So we got to see. It's about time, Gotti. It is. Listen, you that dude right now. You bossed up on a different level. Yeah. Ain't nothing like having that whole unit together you know what I mean

yeah hopefully you may or you can give me some pointers and some information about that you know what I'm saying I just got good at it

yeah I just got good at it yeah you give me some some pointers knowledge yeah you know

unfortunately again coming from where we come from ain't a lot of our people ever done that so it's like you know what I'm saying like I ain't got nothing against it we still coming from where we come from and a lot of our people ever done that so it's like you know i'm saying like i ain't got nothing against it we still coming from where we come from and what we know you know i'm saying so we know love we know loyalty but that's the end goal i can say

i can say being married and actually doing right by my wife you know i'm color purple when sealy pointed you and sealy saying no good gonna come to you till you do right by me yeah when you do right by your wife absolutely your life just man you think you're doing it now oh my god absolutely everything everything i agree everything have you had a conversation with run um kind of kind of yeah it's still gotta be awkward nobody's i gotta i gotta sit down with him yeah so yeah it's lined up though i love to see that i mean it's about to get serious. I respect him. The song No Fake Love, man. Do you feel like all love is fake for real?

Not all, but a lot of it. Most of it. I think we're in an opportunist world. I feel like, you know, people love you for what you can do for them. And once you stop doing it or once you can't do it, you will see that soon. That is a different relationship, a different type of relationship. Whether y'all hustling together, whether y'all just friends. A lot of situations, you know what I'm saying?

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.

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Some of you have been with us since season one,

and others are just tuning in.

or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Yo Gotti. Charlamagne? When you have an artist, right, because you've had so much success with different artists,

if one of the artists don't take off, what's that conversation like? We try. You know what I mean? Like, I tell all my artists this from the beginning. We can win together. We can lose together. Like, if I can go to the bank with you, I can lose with you, too. I ain't tripping.

You know what I'm saying? As long as we both try our best to do what we thought we'd win. You win some, you lose some. You know what I'm saying? Like, I ain't tripping. How do what we thought we'd win, you win some, you lose some. You know what I'm saying? Like, I ain't tripping. How do you know when it's time to move on, though, from an artist? Most times, I only move on if we ain't, like, on the same page. It ain't really a monetary standpoint.

You know what I'm saying? Because we can figure out how to adjust the numbers, keep getting the artist shots, and it still makes sense, so we're not losing too much. You feel me as long as i feel like we still in it together and we're still trying together you know i'm saying that if we ain't on the same page we just wasting each other time you look at artists as ever being a little lazy because of the social media era they got a lot of things that you didn't have

right so i remember seeing you come up and the things that you had to do whether it was going to every homecoming all-star event super bowl where you would travel with all your cars to make it a movie like i remember seeing that and then seeing the grind i talk about this all the time my partner and them they're like it's just a different era like what we've done to promote and what we've done to get in position i just don't think new artists today could even do that well i remember i used to go to new orleans to holland birdman them we used to wait 10 hours just to talk to them that's right like you know i mean like imagine if you tell artists come meet you today and it take up take you 10 hours to talk to them they're gonna feel disrespected like man we ain't 30 minutes

you know what i'm saying like you know we would go to a video shoot and be there all day to be in a two-second cameo. We ain't have no trailer, no budget, styling budget. Again, man, invite an artist to the video and he ain't ready to shoot him when he pull up. You know what I'm saying? He feel different. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's just different. Like, you know what I mean?

But I also think those are things that make people like me, like, stronger on a different level. Like, I can take more. I'm not bothered easily. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not really, like, I ain't phased by nothing. I already done it the hardest way you can do it. I've already been through the, you know what I mean? Like, so, like, what's something serious to somebody, like, it's a joke to me.

I'm tripping off of it. Like, you mad at that? You mad at it? You offended by that? Like. What's Young d done that made you be like come on bro young d ain't done nothing bro young d like you cool yeah young d like just getting started and he on to a great start you know i'm saying he done like dog record

made bag with future a lot of money bag records at an early age so i think he kind of ahead of his time you know i'm saying i think he creating a sound it's probably gonna be like this cmg sound for the next you know next wave you got your first hundred bands yet od yeah oh yeah yeah that's what that's what god he said on the first hundred bands his first hundred bands felt like a million so what did a million feel like then god man you know it's crazy because it's like i, y'all got a lot of money, man. I don't know what you're talking about. You know what I'm saying?

But it's like, you know, when you first get there, first hunting, then hunting in the hood, you're like a millionaire in the hood. You know what I'm saying? And then in Memphis,

you know, you might be 1.5 in Memphis with a hundred. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like, that's how it feel. You know what I'm saying? When you get it the first time,

it's a special feeling. And I think, you know, it's crazy that I think i feel you know i'm saying when you get it the first time it's a special feeling and i think you know it's crazy that i think we all from a culture just wanted to be a millionaire at some point because they seem like the end goal like man if i can become a millionaire that was it right until you get the million do you realize like oh man i need more yeah like this ain't what i thought it was like you feel me i need a lot more of these you know what i'm saying so i just think it's different or tempos you hit like i think the hundred band the first hundred bands is special you know i'm saying in the street really too i think it's also different i don't know this but i think if you got a hundred thousand dollars

job it may don't feel the same at the hundred thousand dollars five tens and twenties and your hand in the script like what I'm referencing to. You know what I'm saying? Because that's what I think. You know what I mean? I never had a six figure job,

you know, like they paid. Because if you get $100,000 a year at a job, that's really like $50,000, $60,000 depending on where you live at.

You're never seeing all that money at once. Minus taxes. So that first $100,000 and five tens and twenties and it looked good and you got to, you know,

how you got to stack that whether it's in $10,000 stacks or $1,000 stacks. You know and it looked good and you gotta, you know, however you gotta stack them, whether it's in $10,000 stacks or $1,000 stacks. You know what I'm saying? I can't wait to feel that, man. We used to earn them. I used to earn my money, put the small bills over here.

You feel me? I can't wait to get $100,000. Oh, man, you ain't got $100,000 in a hundred-thousand time. You feel me? Come on, man. What are you learning from Hov at this point

in the game? Because on the album you say you feel like you right there with Hov. Yeah, I said, you feel like you right there with Hov. I'm your rapper's favorite rapper,

something like that. I'm damn known J-level. Yeah, but not literally, you said. Yeah, but then I make sure I tell you not literally because that's a different level. That's a billion conversation.

Yeah, but I say that when what I'm learning for Jay. I think it's about, and this is my opinion, I think everything with Jay Rock Nation is about impact at this point. You know what I mean? I feel like, of course, there are all the money in the world, right? For me, too, it's like trying to see how much impact can you give. You know what I'm saying? Whether that's helping a young D or that's helping another artist

or whether that's creating jobs in the city or whether there's just you know helping somebody with information you know i do a lot of that there's only that there probably never be public you know i mean it's so many artists that's not signing me that i get nothing off of that i talk to every week different artists that i just you know get information to give advice to help them with different situations you know i'm saying try to help them go to the next level that i have no financial interest in just impact i think everything is information i take in a lot of information but i also give that information back out you know i mean so i think i'm just at a point where i'm trying to figure out how many things i can touch how much impact i can leave in the legacy i can't i can't think of no artist

who's got a better roster of artists. You know, we've seen different people have different rosters at certain times. I'm talking about right now, this moment. I can't think of nobody who got CMG. Yeah, we blessed. Is it true? They always say that in Memphis, if you're not with CMG, it's not going to work. No, that's not

true. Okay. There's a lot of artists that's not CMG from Memphis. They work, you know what I'm saying? You know, we like them too. There's a lot of young cats right now that's killing it you know you know i'm saying who i think they're killing on the street already who i think they're gonna be the next wave and they sign the different people you know i'm saying no yes did you give them information do you give like that those other labels anybody bro anybody who hit me like i'm an open book you know i'm saying like I ain't hard to reach so anybody can

get information from me do you want new artists do you want more people the right ones the right ones we got a lot going on right now you got a bunch of artists

What are you talking about? Show money? Are you talking about record sales? Streams? A lot of it comes from the Carolinas. Because Arnold Taylor was a big part of your success earlier. Yeah, he's my dog. He's my dog. He's my dog for sure.

All right. All right. Well, the album, why I said it, Gangsta Grills Mixtape, I showed you so. You can pick it up now. Young D, we appreciate you for joining us.

Appreciate that for having me too. And of course, Yo Gotti! Thank you, brother. For sure. It's the breakfast for having me, too. And, of course, Yo Gotti. Thank you, brother. For the show. It's the Breakfast Local Morning. You gotta be. Oh, we're on air, sir.

Charlamagne, we're on air. What did you like? It was cockroaches everywhere. What happened? Hit the rumors, please. Hello. Did you say rocks? Tell us, man.

This is the rumor report. It's Roxy Romney out. Roxy been an IHOP mafia all these years. I say Roxy. If you want to know if something is like cool or if it's hip, the only way that you're going to know is if somebody from the culture, the black culture, co-signs it. On The Breakfast Club.

Turn it up. All right, Roxy, let's get to it. So, Charlamagne, this is for you. We are talking Tyrese. Sued Home Depot for $1 million. All right, so this is what happened. He was there with two of his associates. They were shopping and people

started recognizing him. So they were at the cashier and he basically told the cashier, listen, people know me. I'm going in the car. It's okay. Go ahead and swipe the credit card. He went in the car and then the cashier decided no, I'm not swiping the credit card. I need ID.

So they FaceTimed him and he was like, I was just in there five minutes ago. Like, go ahead and swipe the credit card. It's fine. And I think we actually have audio of him on FaceTime talking to the cashier. Can you please include that information?

I was just there. I just walked. If you're going to talk to your manager, tell your manager the truth. I was just in the store and I gave my guys my credit card in front of your staff and team member. And I walked off. Don't say that I'm not there with no ID. You can pull up the cameras. I was there five minutes ago.

This is completely unnecessary. What you're doing right now i'm not answering what man should i have the ceo of home depot to call you tomorrow because he's my neighbor i mean let's be clear tyrese is famous you know fast and furious but he does look like one version of several different people so i'm just saying you saying dawson came with bald head that fits a lot of descriptions yeah but the problem is if and i don't know if the the young lady knew who he was but the young lady you know is certain rules and regulations that you have to do if somebody comes with a credit card you need an identification

in a lot of a lot of cases and especially if the person is not there on facetime that doesn't work and i understand that is a point of inconvenience in that moment for tyree's but what if his credit card was actually stolen yeah right if it was stolen or somebody like charlamagne was on facetime it was like i'm tyree's they kind of look alike that's my point i just said that he looks like one version of several different people you know bald head dark skin you know can fit a lot of descriptions i just want to know how tyree's got to the million dollar number well that's what i want to know so herese got to the million dollar number. That's what I want to know. So he feels like this is discrimination.

All three of the men actually filed a suit saying that they have suffered shame, humiliation, and mental suffering. And the million dollars that they're asking for is to cover the amount of money Tyrese said he has spent in Home Depot over the years, along with punitive damages. So Home Depot did release a statement. They said, yes, this is yes. They said, nigga, please.

What'd they say? Diversity and respect for all people are core to who we are, and we do not tolerate discrimination in any form. We value Mr. Gibson as a customer, and in the months since this happened, we've reached out to him and his attorney several times to try to resolve his concerns.

We will continue to do so. He's going to go to court dressed like he was in Baby Boy with a bunch of Mexicans. And he won't really have a claim to discriminate. He's stupid. He's stupid. But I will say. They treated me wrong because they thought I was an SA. But I will say, I mean, I mean, these businesses got to protect themselves, right?

Because I'm sure a lot of people can go to these stores and these businesses and say, hey, that wasn't me that charged that card. And when they go to the camera, if that person is not there charging that card they're not live they're liable you know so and that's essentially what the cashier said like this is policy right like how we know this ain't take digs that's all yeah all right so i saw this story yesterday and you know i'm always uh drawn to mom stories so we have seen rihanna through her past two pregnancies wearing the sexiest outfit, showing off her baby bump in the biggest way. So Serena Williams just posted a picture on her, you know, IG wearing this like little Gucci outfit, a little skirt with like a top and her belly is on blast. And for some reason, she's not getting the love that Rihanna got. She was getting criticized by a lot of people saying, oh, she's dressing like Rihanna.

She need to put on clothes. Even though, yes, she did get support from her followers, but she was also getting a lot of heat. So I just feel like, why is it okay for Rihanna and not Serena? I don't get it. I need more context. Why do you need more context? I don't understand either. What's the problem?

It doesn't even sound right. There should not be a problem. And to be honest... Serena has always intimidated people, though. You know what I'm saying? Because she's a beautiful woman, but her muscular appearance, her physique, has always intimidated people and made people uncomfortable.

So I think that's probably what it is. It should not be. It should not be. And if you look at her outfit, she actually has on more clothes than Rihanna normally does. So it should not be an issue. an issue back to the conversation we was having another day where we was talking about uh you know when when black women you know are are a certain shape they can have on a regular thing that a woman they can have on the same outfit a woman can wear and they have the same shape and it makes people uncomfortable right and i think there's been like a few cases that that has popped up um was it a home depot or i don't know that's what it was that's what it was

all right do we have time for one more nope okay never mind that is your rumor report charlamagne donkey today we give you a donkey man four after the hour i need a young brother named seth burman uh to come to the front of the congregation we like to have a word with him uh and we're also going to have a word with him. And we're also going to have a nice conversation about the Target Effect. Y'all know what the Target Effect is, right? When you go on Target, you can't just get one thing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes. All right. We'll discuss. We'll get to that next. And we got a new record that we're about to get on. It's DJ Khaled, Future, Lil Baby, and Lil Uzi. Is this a new record? Yeah. Because Khaled has been making a different version of the exact same song for a long time.

Well, you listen and you tell us. I already heard it. That's why I made that comment. It's the Breakfast Club of the morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Our Audible pick of the day is DJ Drama's Gangsta Grill podcast. Hear DJ Drama and some legendary artists break down hip-hop mixtape history.

Listen when you sign up for a free trial at audible.com slash dj drama damn the hee-haw again it's time for donkey of the day i'm ain't trying to be donkey today no more they should be embarrassed by what they already did i'm not making these people do these things called donkey of the day and it really caught me off guard damn solomon who got the donkey of the day today well donkey of the day for friday august 11th goes to seth burman seth burman is 34 years old and he hails from the great city of atlanta georgia seth is suffering from what psychologists call the target effect everybody in america suffers from the target effect doesn't matter what your financial status is the reality of the situation is none of us can go into Target and get one thing. I know I'm speaking directly to you right now. You feel seen, don't you? Maybe even triggered.

Trust me, I understand every single emotion you are dealing with. I get in. Psychologists do, too. It's a real thing. You're going to Target to buy one thing. Maybe, you know, a Goodfella T-shirt. Next thing you know, you're walking out with one hundred dollars worth of stuff and you have no idea how that happened. All right. Target does that to humans so much so that clinical psychologists have released tips on how to stage your own target interventions. OK, Target is a trap. All right. Because the store is the actual target. You are. Do you realize that everything in Target is is strategically placed there to keep you there everything from the lighting the bright colors they say it brightens your uh effect and you tend to have a pretty good time there so

it's conducive to buying you know of course you're gonna you know spend more in a place that you spend more time in not to mention it's a starbucks in all of them so that adds another addiction okay starbucks heroin same thing target also places things in strategic places to boost cross-selling and then they have these things called lifestyle settings that help you visualize the goods in your home once you see it once you can see it in your place of residence you want it in your place of residence okay and i'm not even gonna get into the psychological pricing target does oh they make you think you're getting the deal just because it's a nine at the end of the price if it has a nine on the end of the price it appears to be on sale therefore you can't pass it up those are just a few of the reasons the target effect is real and that's the reason why you can

never leave target with just one thing and seth berman he fell victim to that see he went to target for one thing but like most of us couldn't leave with just one thing let's go to fox 5 atlanta for the report please officers have also released new video of a shoplifting suspect being arrested take a look uh this is the target located on caroline street atlanta police say an officer was flagged down by a security guard that guard told authorities that the man stole two televisions from the store. They say when the man was caught outside the store, he fought the officer until backup arrived. Both the suspect and officer suffered minor injuries. Now, police say he was on drugs during all of this, but this wasn't weed.

It wasn't shrooms. It wasn't Rihanna's makeup he was using. This man was under the influence of Target. target okay the target effect is a stronger drug than all those things mentioned that's why he went back to the scene of the crime because mentally he never left see if you only get one thing from target you hear Kobe Bryant in your brain saying this jobs not finished job finished I don't think so that's right the target effect is so real that when this brother got caught leaving the store with the TV,

he didn't think about running away. He thought about running back into the store. Okay, that's like an animal that's been locked in a cage, and instead of running off into the wild to get free, they run back into the zoo. I know y'all want to blame drugs, but trust me, this is the target effect. Okay, as I'm doing this donkey right now, there's someone pulling up the target for one thing. And they're going to come out 30 minutes later with at least three to five items. Okay, now let's talk about Seth as a thief. He simply got too greedy because he did successfully steal one TV. He was free and clear.

But his greed made him go back to steal another one. This is a prime example that we get too greedy. Okay, he successfully stole one TV. He was free and clear, but his greed mixed with the target effect made him go back to get another 65-inch TV. Why did he need another TV? I know football season on the way,

but damn, what you building, a sports bar? Huh? You need to have more than one TV to have more than one game on at the same time? Maybe he wanted to play Call of Duty and watch The Breakfast Club on BET at the same time. I don't know. But Seth, did you have to go back to the same exact targets you stole from the first time? I did some research. And by research, I mean Google. And it's at least eight targets in the Atlanta area. You telling me the target effect is so strong that you couldn't even

leave the target you was at to go to another one? Huh? You stuck on stupid like a woman who's addicted to a terrible man with good penis. All right? This man ain't got no job, no ambition. He cheats on you constantly. Has another baby mama he's still sleeping with. But you still end up under him every other day, letting him sweat on you. That had nothing to do with anything.

I just wanted to make you feel bad for still sleeping with that brother under modification. Or for short, you can just call him a bum. Please give Seth Berman the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. Donkey of the day. Yeehaw. I wonder what triggered people more during that donkey of the day.

Realizing that, you know, we all have been victims of the target effect. Realizing that you are still sleeping with a terrible man with a good penis. Which one for you? Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Okay. Ben awkward and strange. Welcome, Roxy. All right. I've been like this since yesterday. All right. Everybody else. Again, shout out to BET.

Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines. Today, we are celebrating 50 years of hip hop. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Our little niece, Nyla Simone. Nyla Simone. She popped up and she came up with this great question. She said... When?

No, she said if. When? She didn't say when. She said if. When? I'm with you, Charlamagne. When? She didn't say when. She said if. When? I'm with you, Charlamagne. When? She said if aliens touchdown.

When the aliens touchdown. And you had to explain hip hop. What album would you use to explain hip hop to them? What album would I give them to say this is hip hop? Correct. Okay. 800-585-1051. Easy call.

Not when. No, when. No, I think it's when. No, call. Not when. No, when. No, I think it's when. No, it's not when. It's when. It's only a matter of time. If aliens touch down on Earth and they wanted to say, What is hip hop?

Oh, I can't wait till they cancel you for that in the future. See what's going to happen? The aliens, when the aliens come and they become a part of our society, they're going to go back to this four or five years from now and they're going to cancel you for mocking them. Say, do it again. Do it again. What does hip-hop mean? I don't know.

That's what they sound like. I don't know. I'm keeping all my thoughts to myself. 800-585-1051. Let's discuss. That didn't sound like no alien to me, did it, y'all? I've heard that one before. Who uses it, y'all? It is. It is. It is the aliens.

I've heard that one before. It is the aliens. We using aliens to get this off. Go ahead. Go ahead. It is the aliens. We want to know what hip-hop is. I don't know.

I'm not messing with y'all. It's the breakfast talking morning. You trying to hit me there with them, but I'm not. That ain't calling my phone. It's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got our special guest host roxy romeo and today of course is 50 years of hip-hop now our niece nala simone is up here and she asked you, if aliens came and touched down on Earth and you had to explain hip-hop,

what album would you give them that would, you know, pretty much break down hip-hop? So that is the question. 800-585-1051. It's one album. So, Charlamagne, if... Don't start. Don't start. Just one album.

Just one album. This was an easy call for me. I thought it was going to be tougher than it was. But when the extraterrestrials get here, our family from other planets, the album I'm going to give them is Let's Get It, Thug Motivation 101 by Young Jeezy. That feels like a good Welcome to Earth album. And when you hear the first song on that album, the Thug Motivation 101, the way that beat comes in and Jz's ad-libs and then when the beat drops and he was i used to hit the kitchen lights

it was cockroaches everywhere that just feels like a good welcome to earth album i feel like that sets the tone for those uh you know beings from other other planets what about you rox um this is very cliche but i gotta got to go with My Ladies. It is definitely the miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Okay. Like, beginning to end, you can't skip this. You don't need to skip one song. All of it is amazing.

Great album. Fantastic album. But what if the aliens are misogynistic? They may not want to hear that. Well, they need to go back home. Well, for me, Nas, Illmatic. I just think that that represents hip-hop. I mean, because, you know, they can have a song for aliens,

All the Aliens Locked Up, which is one love. Because I'm sure there's some aliens locked up. Then as far as The World is Yours for the aliens out there that really might not have, you know, that need... Stupid-ass song to play for aliens. That is the dumbest song to play for aliens. Who's world is this? It's not theirs, you idiot. But they can grow and they can say the world is yours, young alien. You can get out there and do it.

They'll be like, all y'all know is the world? We know the whole universe. We've been traveling worlds, little bum-ass earthlings. And then the way that the aliens move is like a New York state of mind. Militant, fast, strong, aggressive. Like that's the New York state of mind. No. Yes.

They've seen the whole universe. They're not going to be impressed by New York new york and the aliens they gotta represent represent represent represent alien nation represent represent like you know me so i think i think it is illmatic you offended the aliens you offended them by mocking them all right that's number one that's number one you offended them by saying the world is yours and you know actually they're gonna be like you know what this is ours we're gonna take this over that's number one. You offended them by saying the world is yours. And you know, actually, they're going to be like, you know what? This is ours. We're going to take this over. That's number one. And number three, you're going to tell them they're in a New York state of mind when they've seen the

whole universe. They've seen all these galaxies. I'm pretty sure they're here. Already anyway. Should everybody know New York? Milky Way state of mind. Now we have Nyla here, our young niece, who we're about to do Past the Orcs in a little bit. But what is your album? Aliens come to you and say, Nyla, tell our young niece, who we're about to do Past the Awks in a little bit. But what is your album?

Aliens come to you and say, Nyla, tell us what you like. Tell me what I like, or the album I would play them. That breaks down hip-hop. I would do 50 Cent, Get Rich or Die Trying. I feel like it covers young and the old.

I feel like as far as impact. What up, Alien? What up? Gangsta. Okay, all right. Yeah, they would like that. Okay, all right. Okay, all right. Yeah, I'm going with 50.

But you said miseducation that's a really good one too like i'm thinking of like the albums that like the few albums for me that are like my top yeah and so some of the other ones i feel like that's what you that's what you what was the other ones because you had me nervous when you saw what your list uh so i talked about it yesterday nipseysey, Victory Lap. Great one, Nipsey. Oh, yeah. Nipsey going to be with them. Nipsey on the wheel. Promise you, Nipsey on the wheel. You think he's going to be with the aliens?

Nipsey, Honorable Elijah Muhammad, they all on the wheel right now, guaranteed. With the aliens? Just trust me. All right. Trust them. I've been visited by them. I speak to them all the time. The aliens are...

The aliens are the best. I know what's going on. Not like how you spoke, y'all. That's how I know you getting canceled. That's how I know. Sorry, aliens. All right, Chris. Yo, what's up?

We're talking about the aliens come down. What record would you give them? Hey, all right. So good morning. First of all, breakfast. Peace, King. I want to say, I say ready to die. Notorious. Yeah, G. And what if say, I say ready to die, Notorious.

Yeah, G. And what if they say, we was thinking the same thing. I was thinking that. I was thinking that. But I also, I was thinking that, but I also want to say,

what we got to worry about is, what if they ask a Karen? What if they ask a Karen? About hip hop, we will be completely lost. Yeah, you're right, because as soon as she passed that Iggy, they wiping it off.

Vanilla ice. Iggy was hard, too. Y'all be fronting on Iggy. You be fronting on Iggy. The Karens aren't going to pick Iggy, though. They'd probably pick somebody super big in mainstream. Like Big Drake. Yeah, or Iggy. I was thinking like Iggy. Patrick.

What's going down? What's going down? What's going on? Talk to us. The aliens come and say give me one album. What are you doing? My one album would be

Daisy the Blackout. I believe Daisy embodied hip hop in the 2000s. He is hip hop. This dude, I mean it's not just the lyrics, the swag,

it's all that. Everything Daisy did on one album embodied hip hop, I would let the aliens listen to it. And it would be the Black Album? Yeah, the Black. Well, I mean, you can go with any album with Jay-Z, but I love the Black Album first. Okay. All right. Thank you, man.

800-585-1051. You know, we're celebrating 50 years of hip hop, and we're asking if the aliens came to Earth and said, what is this thing hip-hop? And you had to describe hip-hop in one album. What would the album be? That is the question. 800-585-1051.

You sound like a robot. You don't sound like an alien. You just sound like a robot. I don't know. Like a broken machine. I never spoke to an alien. So why do you keep disrespecting them? They're going to be amongst us soon, okay?

If they're not already. They're going to cancel you? They're going to have a lot of power. You think they're going to cancel you? They're going to definitely cancel you. You're going to be up us soon, okay? If they're not already. They're going to cancel you? They're going to have a lot of power. They're going to definitely cancel you. You're going to be up out of here mocking them. They're going to have your face on the, if you see this guy, you want it. 800-585-1051 is the breakfast club. Is your country falling apart?

Give me one song or one album that describes hip-hop. Which one you doing? J. Cole, Far Till Dry. Talk about social issues. so again the song for

the first time okay by the time they reach love yours it's gonna explain everything i love that now anise nala loves that because she's been so influenced by j cole so she loves that even though you didn't pick that album i love that album well yeah because other albums have impacted me before i got to that okay well thank you bro so why you ain't say that, then? I did say that album. Why somebody from Brooklyn had to say Forest Hill Drive, Nala? As much as you've been impacted by that album, man, wow. Look, I... You be letting J. Cole down the way he let Nas down.

You know what I'm saying? Wow. You really be letting J. Cole down, though. Oh, my God. That's so mean. It's just the truth. You be letting J. Cole down. Wow.

What? You said Get Rich or Die trying because J. Cole said it was better than Thriller this week. This is so crazy, yo. This is so crazy. It just hit me, yo. I'm surprised you're sorry about that. Wow.

Actually, actually, actually, if you guys would listen to my podcast, that's on the Black Effect Network, the What Hip Hop Pod featuring me and Mouse Jones produced by Darren. And A-King, we had a conversation about this already and I picked Get Rich or Die Trying. And then for a song I picked Common, I Used to Love Her. So I had already knew my answer. Wow. So you love J. Cole so much. That she don't ever pick him.

She loves J. Cole so much that she don't ever pick him for nothing. What's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is when. I cannot wait till they get here. The aliens are on their way. They're in Peru right now ripping people's faces off. How you know? Because I just read about it this morning.

There's a whole village in Peru that is saying these seven-foot green aliens are peeling off people's faces. Oh, they actually described them? Yes, absolutely. Did they talk like this? You keep playing, boy. They're not talking to you. Just keep playing. Is it a real article from a valid source?

Yes, it was on MSN.com. It is a real article. It really is. Oh, boy, I'm scared now. I just thought it was cannibal. Sorry, I was joking. Jokey joke. Jokey joke.

Too late. Too late. No, jokey joke. All right, when we come back, we got past the aux. That's when our niece, DJ Nala Simone, she puts us on to music that we should be up on. All right, we'll do that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, we got our special guest co-host, Roxy Romeo, with us. And now, it's time for Pass the Aux. What's up, Naila? Big Naila. What's up, guys?

Happy birthday. It's our birthday. Hip-hop today i'm gonna start with escg's new joint called a moment with goddie oh okay that's dope like that yeah that's a fact that's a fact okay next i'm gonna go with holly's new record um i think this is her first single she's actually dropped it's called angels that's my cousin holly alleged cousin yes um but the record is super dope i love like the message behind it because i feel like black women just don't really get records like this that are that uplifting and also sonically it's not i wouldn't say like traditional something we would play but i think it should be played okay all right that sounds like something that should be on a soundtrack

yes very theatrical yeah it should be part of a movie like i don't know if that's something that you just release and tell people to listen to like that should come on at the end of a movie or something i don't know i've been've been bumbling it. On a stage. On a regular. Like when the aliens come and we're praying for help. Age. No. Okay. I can see cinematically

why it'd be good but just because she got range don't mean she can't be played on a regular day. You're right. I think we're just used to people who aren't so talented who can't do things like this

so when we get it it's like. Name some names. Nala put a name on it. No I'm just I'm just saying she's mad talented. She has a good range so it's like this sounds when we get it it's like I'm just saying she's mad talented she has a good range so it's like this sounds like you got to be like no it's just a good record let's just play it in rotation I'm not mad at that okay cool

last record is initial cousin that is allegedly props to say that a record feels big. Like it should be a part of a movie. Okay. It should be on the soundtrack. Fair enough. Like that Rihanna record that comes on at the end of Black Panther 2. Yes.

You only want to hear that at the end of Black Panther 2. Yeah, when we were playing on the radio, it just sounded weird. Lift me up. Lift me up. Hold me down. Which makes no sense. What do you want? Lift me up. Hold me down. Which makes no sense. What do you want? You want me to lift you up or hold you down?

Which one? I do feel like, yeah, I don't know why that record was in rotation. But nonetheless, lastly, I'm going to go with Childish Major. He has a new joint called First Lady. And Childish Major is a well-known producer, but he's getting more into his artistry. That's hard. Did he sample Bobby Valentino? It does sound like Slow Down.

Slow Down a little bit, yeah. It does sound like Slow Down. No, that's hard. Don't get him jammed up. I don't know if that was a thing or not. That's hard. That sounds very fresh. Sounds very refreshing.

I like that. He sounds really young to me. Oh, no. He's like my age. Okay. She finally admits she's old. You turn 40 this year now turn what

nothing I'm almost 30 okay she's 28 I'm almost 30 not really oh my god why you put my whole

Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.

Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
