DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
and Charlamagne Tha God.
Congratulations, Hall of Famers.
I'm honored to be in the presence of
Radio Royalty.
It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
This is a big deal.
I think that y'all have a certain amount of respect for, you know, what everybody else does.
And y'all are just the best at what y'all do.
We love y'all, man.
Thank you for being the people's champs.
Probably the greatest.
All three of y'all.
Good morning, Anthony.
Does Envy sound weird to anybody but me?
Yeah, Envy sound like he got his mask on because he in that club in Atlanta still.
Can't hear you, brother.
You sound muffled.
I don't know why I sound muffled.
Everything should be the same.
Nope.
Still sound like you got your mask on.
I sound a little weird, sir.
You might want to reset your connection.
But good morning, DJ Envy.
Hey, Charlamagne.
Peace to the planet.
It is Tuesday.
Happy New Year to one and all.
What's happening?
You know, I keep on writing
2020 still on everything.
Yesterday, I was trying to,
my passport expired,
so I sent in all the documents,
and then I got home,
and I was like, oh, my God, it's 2021.
So hopefully it doesn't matter with the documents.
Yeah, 2020 has been such a traumatic year and we've been screaming 2020, you know, probably more than we've ever screamed about any year our whole lives.
So that's going to be stuck in our heads for a little minute.
I can understand that.
How old are you, gentlemen?
You're Christmas.
Don't talk to me with your mask on.
I can't see.
I tried.
There you go.
You sound muffled.
You sound muffled.
You was in Atlanta.
He was not just in Atlanta.
He was in a crowded.
In the club in Atlanta.
I saw that picture.
I said, is he really in there?
Or is this a picture
he's posting because somebody sent it to him?
Yeah, I got
some video. I didn't post it, though.
Yeah.
Anyway, how was your vacation? You always take an extra day,
Charlamagne. I definitely
always take an extra day. I went on a
nice little spiritual
retreat for like
eight, nine days. So it was
eight, nine days filled with
yoga and
acupuncture
and fire ceremonies
and a bunch of
other stuff. But I salute to my sister
Debbie Brown and we had
a great time over the past
eight days. I think it was great time over the past eight days.
I think it was eight days.
Yeah, eight days.
All right.
Just got back yesterday, actually.
How was traveling?
Traveling was cool.
I mean, listen, I've been on a plane before.
I went on a plane like four times last year.
I went to South Carolina last year.
I went to L.A. once, and we went to D.C. for the interview president, Barack Obama.
So I don't have a problem traveling and being on the plane. I just like to make sure that, you know, once we get to where we're going,
it's a nice contained environment.
And it was because, you know, everybody had to get COVID tested
in order to be where we were.
So it was like a nice little bubble.
You guys.
No, you sound bad, Andy.
Yeah, but I'm still staying home just to be responsible.
Right, I'm staying home too.
I actually had a terrible experience at the beginning of this break traveling.
I went to Austin to go see Dave Chappelle.
And they COVID test every day when you go to his show in Austin.
And I actually missed my flight to Arizona because there was a big snowstorm in New York.
And then the next day, that's when I was traveling.
That was the Friday before Christmas.
So a lot of people were already traveling,
but the day before, all the flights had been canceled.
I had never seen the airport that crowded.
And everybody was missing their flight.
People were arguing.
Now it sounds like you're popping popcorn, you.
Now it sounds like you're about to watch Soul on Disney+,
and you're popping popcorn before you view it. So Envy sounds like you about to watch Soul on Disney Plus and you popping popcorn before
you view it. So Envy sounds like
he's wearing a mask and he's muffled.
Envy sounds like he's muffled wearing a mask
in the club
in Atlanta and you sound like you popping popcorn.
So I think that we need to take a break and come back
and see if we can get it together before front page
news. Yep, it's the world's
most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne
the God, Angela Yee. I am already
not liking starting off 2021
on this damn Zoom. Okay, I cannot
wait till we're back in studio. We're not on Zoom.
Officially, officially. What are we on?
We're not Zoom. Whatever this is,
remotely. We need to broadcast
remotely from home. Alright, but
Angela, you got front page news, right?
Yeah, and speaking of that,
you saw Hollywood shut back down again.
Everybody's doing their late night talk shows from home.
You need to shut back down your computer again.
You pack pop and popcorn.
All right.
That's what you need to do.
Hello?
Yo.
You lose one, you gain another one.
All right.
Are we all good?
I wouldn't say we're good, Are we not here? Are we all good?
I wouldn't say we're good, but we are here.
Are we good?
Do I sound clear now?
No.
Can you hear me now?
It is amazing to me that this show, which is a radio, is in the Radio Hall of Fame, makes all these multi-millions of dollars,
and the technology sucks.
It does. We still have not figured out
how to properly broadcast
from home.
I got my own Wi-Fi system
here. I plugged in some Ethernet cable
and it's got... I don't know.
Angela, you
was just talking about
how late night shows are back
and I literally got an email last night about some technology how late night shows are back. And I literally got an email last night
about some technology that late night shows are using.
Why doesn't radio have that yet?
It's a software called Showrunner
where people can properly do their show from home.
Why don't we have that yet?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Jesus.
Do me and me sound okay?
I seen the bachelor.
That was amazing.
But you ready? We have a lot going on.
Are we okay? Are we okay?
Now let's get into the college.
Give it the college try.
All right. Well, let's start talking about these
elections that are happening today
in Georgia. Donald Trump
headlined a rally. Now he was trying
to get some support for the Republicans
who are running in the Senate runoffs.
But, you know, if you're talking about voter fraud and acting like you won this election
and there's all these issues, it's hard to tell people to go out there and vote, right?
Well, here is Donald Trump at that rally saying that he won.
By the way, there's no way we lost Georgia. There's no way.
That was a rigged election, but we're still
fighting it, and you'll see what's going to happen.
And I hope Mike Pence
comes through for us, I have to tell you.
I hope that our great
vice president comes through
for us. He's a great guy.
Of course, if he doesn't come through,
I won't like him quite as much.
I love the honesty.
Drop on the clues bombs for the honesty. I won't like him. I'm not going to like you quite as much. I love the honesty. Drop on the clues bombs for the honesty.
I won't like him.
I'm not going to like you quite as much.
But I'll tell you one thing.
The next 15 days are going to be very, very, very interesting.
All right?
Hold on to your butts.
All right.
Some more of what Donald Trump said.
He says that Democrats, who are radicals, are trying to steal your freedom.
Your vote tomorrow will decide which party controls the United States
Senate. The radical Democrats are trying to capture Georgia's Senate seats so they can wield
unchecked, unrestrained, absolute power over every aspect of your lives. If the liberal Democrats
take the Senate and the White House and they're not taking this White House, we're going to fight
like hell. I'll tell you right now.
I'm telling you, the next 15 days are going to be very interesting. But yes,
go out there and vote in Georgia today so Democrats can have control of the Senate,
and then Democrats officially won't have any excuses to not keep promises they have made to Black America. All right, well, that is your front page news. And I know we'll be talking to Stacey
Abrams this morning as well to get some more information about what's happening in Georgia.
They broke records with three million people already voting early.
So that is Georgia.
All right.
Well, get it off your chest.

The way Atlanta shows up for the clubs during the pandemic,
they need to show up to the polls today.
Atlanta is open.
There is no doubt in my mind Atlanta is open.
The restaurants are open.
The malls are open.
The clubs are open.
Atlanta is open.
I don't think they even shut down.
That don't mean it's safe.

Hello, who's this?
What's up, DJ FD?
My name's Christian.
I'm calling from California.
I just want to wish you guys Happy New Year.
Angela Yee, happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Uncle Shala, I love you guys.
I just want to get off my chest.
Yesterday, I made a big move.
My girl decided to move in with me.
I'm happy.
I'm nervous.
But, hey.
Man, stop checking on the playing house.
Are you good at cleaning up?
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Like I said, I love this girl.
And I decided to make the move starting the year strong.
How old are you, sir?
How old are you?
I'm 27, and she's 22.
She's 22.
She's a little younger.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
So, I mean, I guess y'all can play house for a little while.
I was going to tell you to stop shacking up and playing house, but, you know, y'all both.
Uncle Sharla, quick question.
Big fan.
CJ Envy, big fan.
Thank you, K.
But Uncle Sharla, can I get a book, please?
Can you sign it, please?
I got you, bro.
We got to tell our producer, Nan, to get your address.
And get the last person's address, too, Dan.
Hold on.
All right.
One more thing.
DJ Envy.
Big fan of your podcast.
Mr. Potato.
Potato.
I know. Potato. What you got on your wife. That's right. Big fan. your podcast. Mr. Potato. Potato. I know what you got on your wife.
That's right.
Your son.
Happy birthday to your son, man.
Thank you so much, man.
What the hell is Mr. Potato?
Explain for the people who haven't heard that on the KCQ podcast.
For people out there, my daughter collects Ray Dunn.
Now, Ray Dunn is a company that makes things like uh uh mugs jars things like that you could
get it uh usually at tj maxx or um trying to think of home goods things like that they're
discounted but they're very hard to get and my wife was looking for potato for like over a year
um they're not that expensive they're like uh anywhere from 10 to 15 but you can't find it so
people buy them and resell them online for like $150,
the same thing that costs $10.
So my wife was looking for potato for over a year,
and I found it, and I gave it to her.
But I gave it to her.
It's like Mr. Potato Head?
No, it's just a jar that holds potatoes,
but it says potato on it.
It's a Ray Dunn is the name of it.
But I gave it to my wife.
I took a picture.
I put my inside of it and took a picture,
and we talked about it on the podcast.
She was excited about the potatoes.
You put your penis inside of it?
Yes, sir.
So if you come to my house, don't take any potatoes.
Yeah, the potato would have been bigger, bro.
I'm sure.
But listen, I got plenty of jars at the crib.
I could have put potatoes in for you if you were trying to make $150 off jarred potatoes, sir.
No, but that's the whole thing with Ray Dunn. It's finding that piece that's only $10
and $9.99 and it's really worth $150, $200. So people go crazy
looking for Ray Dunn. So it's something that my wife loves. You know, my wife, we bought a new house
so she's designing and decorating. So it was a piece and it took me a long time to find
but I did get it for her. If you follow me, I'll get it. Interesting.
But anyway, get it off your chest. 800-585-10 for. If you follow me, I'll get it. Interesting. But anyway, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent,
you can hit us up.
Now we got rumors on the way.
Yes.
And let's talk about The Rock.
He has a TV series
about his life
called Young Rock.
And he actually gave a gift
to somebody.
We'll tell you
who that person is
and why it was so meaningful.
All right.
We'll get into that
when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. We morning. The Breakfast Club.
We know that you ride black people, right?
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Well, it looks like Bobby Schmurder could be getting out soon.
I know we keep on saying that.
He was scheduled to be released later this year, December 11th,
but that date has now reportedly been moved up to February 23rd,
as long as everything is smooth behind bars.
So he was denied parole last year,
but now they're saying there's a clear path for him to get out in a matter of weeks.
I hope he gets home.
Look at that young man. I see Roddy Rebel's home. He get out in a matter of weeks. I hope he gets home. Salute to that young man.
I see Roddy Rebel's home.
He's recording.
He's doing stuff.
I hope he does come home earlier.
Yeah, Bobby's done his six years.
It's time for that brother to come home and move on with his life
and continue to make something of himself.
All right.
Now, Casanova, in the meantime, has raised $2.5 million for bail.
He's trying to get out as well.
He wants to be released sooner than expected.
They did present a bail package to the court.
He's been in jail since December 4th.
He turned himself in.
That was for allegedly taking part in a gang-related racketeering case.
So what they are saying now with this money that they've put up,
it's five properties and 13 co-signers.
The properties are worth about $1.1 million and the
co-signers vouching for the rapper
have combined salaries of about $1.26
million.
Oh, okay. Drop on the clues, Bumpercat.
I thought y'all meant like he raised the money like through a GoFundMe
or a... No.
Funding properties and
family members. I'm surprised that they can't
use, I guess, recordings or
future earnings from his royalties or publishings as part of it.
Our future earnings from OnlyFans.
True.
The co-signers guarantee that he'll show up for his trial.
I didn't know you could use money you don't have yet or things that you don't have yet.
Like normally you put up a property.
Then if he doesn't show up for trial, they take that.
I didn't say future earnings.
No, because, I mean, they have royalties.
So you know how much money you get when your record gets spun, if the record gets spun or played and all of that.
So you know the money's coming in, but it takes six months sometimes.
Okay.
So you're saying for money that he would have already made but hasn't gotten yet.
Correct.
Okay.
I thought you meant like in the future he's going to make this.
Well, yeah, the same way they would do like child support, right?
Like if you had, or if you got sued by somebody and, you know,
you couldn't pay them, they would take your future earnings, right?
Garnish your wages.
Garnish your wages, you mean?
Yes.
I think that's, is that what you're talking about, Envy?
No, no, no, no, no.
You know, in music, you get paid when your record gets played on the radio
or if it's in a movie or albums, but you don't get your money right away.
So if your record gets played on the radio today
or you sell 100,000 records today, you don't get paid today.
You don't get that money to six months to nine months later.
But that money is yours, though.
It's not like it's, oh, will it happen?
Your money will definitely come in.
And they would garnish those wages in the future.
Mm-hmm.
All right, now Saweetie is making her acting debut
on Grown-ish, so that should be pretty
exciting. She tweeted out yesterday, are y'all
ready for Indigo's mean ass?
And here's a clip.
Wardrobe. Anyone from wardrobe?
Is everything okay? No.
It's hot as fish grease out here, and nothing about
this fabric is breathable. Well, I actually have
your second choice options on standby.
You know what?
I'm sure we can figure something out if you give me, like, 15 minutes.
12?
10.
Why'd I do that?
I'm not really feeling this outfit anymore.
I just realized that all the other dancers have the same look.
I need to stand out.
You know, unfortunately, I really don't have anything else other than swimsuits.
Yes, you do.
Jesus Christ, no need to watch the show now, ye.
That was the whole scene.
Well, anyway, no, she's going to be on multiple episodes, and she posted it.
I think you've got to see that, though.
You've got to see it.
It's acting.
You've got to kind of see it, you know?
Now, Saweetie says that it was an honor and a pleasure to work with Yara Shahidi.
She said I would ask her for advice, and she was so easy to work with.
And the show's official midseason premiere is January 21st.
Just FYI.
All right.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
He gave a friend of his who took him in as a teenager a brand new car.
Now The Rock is currently on set for a TV series about his life called Young Rock.
And in the middle of filming, he actually gave this man a brand new car.
His name is Bruno Lauer.
He said he knew him since he was 15 years old.
Listen to this.
I can't thank you enough for when I was 15 and you had every right to say, I don't know this kid.
I don't want him to live with me.
And you took me in.
And truly, Bruno, it means so much to me that you did that because it actually helped change the course of my life.
And I love you, and I appreciate it.
And I thank you for buying me my first car from that crackhead.
And now I have an opportunity now to tell you this is your new car.
That's dope.
Oh, man.
That is dope.
Crackhead is like the only term that folks
won't jump out there and scream that that's
politically incorrect to call someone.
Like, nobody's coming to the defense of people being called
crackheads. Yeah,
so this guy Bruno, aka
Downtown Bruno, he said, my mom and I
were evicted off the island of Hawaii. I
was sent to Nashville to live with my dad.
When I landed in Nashville, I quickly found
out I wasn't going to live with my dad. And he said, instead, I quickly found out I wasn't going to live with my dad.
And he said, instead, I was told I was going to live
with a guy named Bruno, who at the time lived in a tiny room
at a spot called the Alamo Plaza Motel.
Bruno could have and should have said, hell no,
I'm not taking in some kid who I don't know.
But he didn't.
He took this punk kid in, and we became lifelong friends.
He said he only had $7 in his pocket also
when he started his wrestling career.
What kind of car was it?
He said he gave him
his last $40 so he could hustle a crackhead
out of his car one night.
What type of car did The Rock buy for a young man?
No, no, no. I'm telling you
what he... I thought you meant
what type of car did The Rock get.
No, what did The Rock buy for?
When he was younger.
Let me see what kind of car was this.
It can't be the equivalent
of what he got for $40 back in the day.
No, it definitely isn't the equivalent of that.
It's a Ford F-150.
Yeah, Ford pickup, F-150.
Damn, a crackhead sold a car for $40?
That crackhead must have been down bad.
Or maybe the car was that bad.
No. Yeah.
$40. Well, he said when he took the car down
the road, when he took the car down the road,
there was a second crackhead passed out on the floor
in the back of the car. See?
I'm telling you. In this woke-ass society
where y'all keep trying to reframe words
and tell us what we can and can't say,
I am shocked that y'all still letting the term crackhead fly.
Are they going to get mad?
Crackheads are going to get mad in a little bit.
Watch.
Crackheads are going to get mad.
Wait till one of them woke crackheads wake up and start protesting this.
Okay?
You'll see.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
And you know what?
I love hearing stories about people helping people
and paying it forward.
I was listening to Boosie
yesterday on his live
and Boosie was saying
when he first came home,
he was broke
and had no money
and he went out
to a Cat Williams
comedy show
and he said,
Cat Williams was like,
I know you just got home.
I know you had no money
and he said,
he didn't really know
Cat Williams.
He said,
Cat Williams gave him
$10,000
and he said that money
meant the most to him because he had nothing,
nothing at all.
So he was very happy, and he was thanking Cat Williams again yesterday.
By the way, Cat Williams has been doing stuff like that for years.
That is a fact.
I mean, you know, people give Cat Williams a bad rap,
and I always report on a lot of the negative things that he does,
but he definitely is that type of person.
Yeah, he was saying all the rappers were shouting his name out,
but when he got home, nobody gave him no money.
Nobody helped.
But he said Cat Williams was the only person that gave him money
when he came home, gave him $10,000,
and that was able him to get himself started
and get back to where he was.
But all right.
Now, we got front page news next year.
What are we talking about?
Yes, and let's talk about what is the number one most dangerous area
in the U.S. to live in.
All right, we'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
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.
Let's get some front page news.
Where we starting, Yee?
Well, let's start with L.A. County.
They said that is the number one most dangerous area in the United States.
I would never have thought that, right?
But that's also because of natural disasters.
They said including earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, volcanoes, tsunamis.
They're not even counting the pandemic because L.A. has been called ground zero for the coronavirus, but other things, too.
I mean, it makes perfect sense.
I mean, they've been talking about L.A. getting the big one for years, right?
The big one is supposed to be a massive, massive earthquake.
Mm-hmm.
So, yeah.
It's weird to me right now because I wonder if it's a good time to buy in L.A.
Because a lot of people are leaving.
The pandemic, things are shut down.
And then now you get this information. And the wild too that always happen there too so I mean I think
prices in LA are going down and I think you know the prices in New York City are shooting down as
well if you could get something in Manhattan or LA and get it for cheap because it will bounce back
I mean it will but yeah this is a great time to buy real estate and money's low I mean, it will, but yeah, it's a great time to buy real estate. The money's low. I mean, interest rates are 2.7%.
You hope it'll bounce back.
You know what I'm saying?
I think that it's going to be a lot of things in America
that are going to be changed forever,
and we just don't realize it yet
because we're so used to things bouncing back.
But no, life is different now.
I think it'll bounce back, especially in L.A. and New York.
Brooklyn's doing pretty well, though.
Manhattan might not be doing so well, but Brooklyn, you said there's a very low inventory here.
So it's making it more competitive.
All right.
Now let's talk about Donald Trump, because, you know, today is the elections and that is for the Senate runoffs.
And so Donald Trump is actually doing campaign events for the Republican Senate candidates.
And during these events, it makes it feel like, you know,
he's acting like he won Georgia and there was some type of issues with the vote.
If you all recall, we had played for you guys yesterday,
the phone call where he was trying to pressure to find some more votes
and prove that there was a miscount, even though everybody's saying there's not.
And they recounted those votes three different times from both sides.
But here he is talking about the issues with Georgia.
By the way, there's no way we lost Georgia.
There's no way.
That was a rigged election, but we're still fighting it.
And you'll see what's going to happen.
And I hope Mike Pence comes through for us.
I have to tell you.
I hope that our great vice president comes through for us.
He's a great guy.
Of course, if he doesn't come through, I won't like him quite as much.
I love the honesty.
I love the honesty.
You know what I mean?
Can you really be friends with a person who lets you know,
look, I like you, but it's all based on terms and conditions.
What can you do for me?
Yeah, and he's mad because Mike Pence certified the election on Wednesday. So I guess he,
he wants people to still go out there and campaign and say that the, everything was rigged,
but then how are you telling people to vote when you're saying that everything's rigged?
It's just weird with all this, uh, conspiracy theories that he's pushing. Now, Joe Biden,
in the meantime, had a rally as well and
he talked about how important it was for people to get out and vote the power is literally in
your hands one state can chart the course not just for the next four years but for the next
generation if you send john and the reverend to washington those two thousand dollar checks will
go out the door restoring hope and decency and honor for so many people who are struggling right now.
Yeah, but we're not just voting for a $2,000 stimulus check.
We're voting for systemic change all across the board.
So, yes, go out there and vote in Georgia today so Democrats can have control of the Senate
and they officially won't have any excuses to not keep promises they have made to black America.
Because as long as black Americans continue to apply pressure, raise hell and push the
line on Democrats, they won't have any excuses to get things done.
So, yes, go out there and vote, Georgia.
Now, Kamala Harris also said to people in Georgia, if you haven't already turned in
your absentee ballot, don't put it in the mailbox.
Take it and return it to a drop box in your county now.
So, Georgia, we're looking at you.
All right. I'm Angela Yee and that's your Front Page News. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Now,
when we come back, Stacey Abrams will be joining us. So we'll talk to Stacey Abrams about what's going on in Georgia and why people need to get up and get out and vote today. So we'll talk to her
when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the line.
We have Stacey Abrams.
Good morning, Stacey.
Good morning.
How are you feeling this morning?
I'm feeling ready to go.
We've got work to do.
And Stacey, I just want to thank you for all the hard work
that you've already been putting in up until today.
And we are not quite there yet,
but today's an important day in Georgia,
and you've been working so hard.
So let's talk about why today is so important.
Today is the day we not only set the future in motion, we have an opportunity to reset how we respond to COVID-19,
whether there's actual support for our small businesses, whether there's health care access for especially the black community that's been hit so hard and whether or not we have a real commitment to justice.
These are things that we've been waiting for, that we've been fighting for.
And Georgia has the opportunity to help deliver this for all of America.
Stacey, have you been receiving a lot of threats from the good old boys in Georgia for shaking
up the way you have done?
We don't really talk about those a lot, but I will say there are a lot of people who are very
angry, who are very angry about me. But my focus is not on their distaste. My focus is on the
people who need to believe that their power is real. This is an election that has very clear
and immediate consequences, not only whether or not we get stimulus checks
that can actually help us get through the winter,
but whether we have a plan for investing in our communities,
whether we have the ability to fight back against those
who would strip us of our rights to vote
because they're angry about how we voted.
This election, and particularly having John Ossoff
and Raphael Warnock on the ballot,
is about saying this is who we are and who we intend to be and replacing two people who have made it their mission to deny access, to deny support, and to deny their responsibilities to
the people of Georgia. I was seeing that a lot of older people are scared to get out and vote
because of COVID. I see the young people, They shouldn't have no problem because Georgia is open.
But to the older people and people that might have complications,
can you please tell them how important it is
and don't just think, hey, we've got this, don't worry about it,
and how important getting out there and vote really is at this point?
Well, I'm going to restrain that just a little bit
because Georgia actually has one of the highest COVID infection rates
in the nation compared to our population.
And that's why it's been so important that people who voted in person early so they could socially distance and why it was important for them to use vote by mail.
But one of the important things about Georgia is that while unfortunately we do have this surge, if you go to vote, you can socially distance, You can wear your mask. But if we do not get John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in office, we are going to be one of those states that will be than half the number of infections. And so it's even more important
because unlike the California or another state, we don't have Medicaid expansion. So if you get
sick here and you are in the 1.4 million without health insurance, you are pretty much on your own.
And the only way this gets fixed is if we elect Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff today.
Often there are conversations about what elections can or can't do,
and I'm always saying voting isn't magic,
but right now voting is medicine.
Voting is how we fix where we are today
and how we get ready to start building towards what we need next.
Stacey, can I ask you a question about Donald Trump
and his information that he's trying to put out there and talking about the presidential election and how he actually did win and saying that we don't want to let the Democrats steal the Senate?
What do you think that does when it comes to voting, even on the Republican side?
Because what you're essentially saying is voting doesn't matter and there's voter fraud and these elections are rigged.
Well, hold on, Stacy. Let's Let's answer that when we come back.
Stacey Abrams is on the line.
Atlanta, Georgia, make sure you go out there and vote.
We got more with Stacey Abrams when we come back.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still talking with Stacey Abrams.
Now, you just asked a question before we went to break.
Yes, I was asking about Donald Trump and the misinformation that he's spreading and saying that these elections are rigged and that he actually won and that the Democrats are trying to steal the elections in Georgia.
What is that going to do, you think, as far as even Republicans voting?
Well, his conspiracy theory has been widely, soundly and repeatedly rejected and debunked.
Brad Rassenberger, who is no friend to voters
and certainly no friend to voting rights,
at least is telling the truth about this.
The election, we have proven again and again
that the election was fair.
And what we're afraid of is that
for Republicans in particular,
this belief in the conspiracy theories
will somehow bleed over into the restriction on voting rights for those of us who, for the first time, truly have free and fair access to the polls.
But we also don't know the effect it's going to have on their turnout.
I want to win.
I believe in our candidates, and I want us to have a victory.
But I don't want victory at the expense of disenfranchising voters with misinformation.
But I can't tell Republicans who to listen to.
All I can do is do my work and my part to get the folks who understand the fight that we fought to mitigate voter suppression,
to let them know now is the time to get out there and vote so we can have two U.S. senators who work with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris
and with President-elect Joe Biden to actually
secure democracy and make
these changes permanent. But Stacey,
it's got to make you feel good, though, because when you hear Trump
pressuring state officials to overturn the
election, that validates what you've been saying
about voter suppression and what you
dealt with when you ran for governor at GA.
So it kind of, you know, validates what
Fair Fight's been fighting for.
It's been interesting to see how much time I spend in his head.
But, yes, I will give Fair Fight.
Fair Fight and so many organizations on the ground that we were able to invest in,
we've moved millions of dollars to these small organizations,
these medium-sized organizations that have been toiling in the vineyards,
have been working for communities,
and they were able to really scale up and fight in this election because we did. We were part of
a coalition that pushed back against voter vote by mail rules that were different depending on
the county you lived in. We were able to block that exact match rule that made it so hard for
black and brown people to get on the rolls and stay on the rolls. We were able to support election workers.
We actually helped invest in the general election more than $30 million
in making sure there were drop boxes and other apparatuses that made it easier for folks to vote.
So, yes, I'm incredibly proud of Fair Fight, proud of our team,
and proud of all of those groups that were out there, like the New Georgia Project and others,
doing the work of getting voters registered, mobilized into the polls. Since we're talking about Brad Raffensperger
and the Georgia Secretary of State, is it a crime what Donald Trump was saying in that phone call
about finding votes? I'm not really going to focus on what he is saying or doing. This man is a failed
president who's out of there in about 15 days. My focus is on making sure that the new president
has the partnership he needs
and has the support he needs to actually get things done.
And let's be clear, if it's a 50-50 Senate,
let's not assume that everything is going to happen immediately
because that still means they've got to fight for every vote.
But at least we have a fighting chance
because Mitch McConnell, Kelly Loeffler, and David Perdue
do not care about Georgia
and do not care about our relief, don't care about our jobs, don't care about justice.
With that said, how disappointed would you be if even with black people delivering the Oval Office and the Senate to Democrats, if this administration doesn't keep promises to black people?
I believe that they want to get good done, And that's why I'm working so hard. And yes, there's always going to be disappointment. But what I want people to understand is the rules of the Senate
remain. You still have to have 60 votes to get a lot of things done. But if we make it 50-50,
that means that there are mechanisms we can use to get more done than normal. This is not going
to be like the first two years of Obama in 08, where he had 60 U.S. senators and was able to
get health care passed. This is going to be a nail biter every time, because sending John Ossoff and
Raphael Warnock means that Georgia has two strong people that we know of. But unfortunately, we
can't speak for every other Democrat on every single issue. That said, I believe we all need
to hold the Biden administration accountable, and we need to hold our senators across the country accountable for what they say they're going to do.
And if it doesn't happen, we need to know why it didn't happen and when it's going to get done.
You know, I was going to ask Stacey, I know we're talking about election, but I have a question.
I was in Georgia this weekend and I wanted to ask, what were your thoughts or opinions on how Georgia is handling
the pandemic or the spike of crime or even I've seen a lot of homelessness in Georgia. There was
a lot of homeless people, more than I've ever seen before in my life being in Georgia. What are your
thoughts on everything that's happening with Atlanta and Georgia now? Well, writ large, we are
handling the pandemic abysmally. We have a weak and ineffective governor who has allowed, you know, we have two of our regions in our state, two health care regions, where they're over 100 percent overcapacity for hospitalization, meaning there are beds in the hallway.
As I said, you know, California's population is 39 million.
Georgia's is 11 million.
And yet we've
got 600,000 plus infections. We've had more than 10,000 deaths. And so, no, we are not handling
this well. Plus, we have one of the weakest infrastructures. And so, to your point about
homelessness, Georgia already had a homelessness problem that got exacerbated by the fact that we
have 400,000 Georgians who are out of a job, 3.9 million
people who have either lost their jobs or have their hours reduced. And we have 161,000 people
who are on the verge of eviction. That is why this is so urgent. We know that crime spikes
when there are economic challenges, and that's true across the board.
I'm not going to say that all of that will get fixed immediately,
but I will tell you right now,
Mitch McConnell has declared he does not intend to solve these problems. When they passed the last stimulus check, the last stimulus bill,
they refused to include money for municipalities and for counties.
That's how you get access to housing dollars.
That's how you make certain that the homeless have shelter in the middle of the winter.
Those are things they refuse to do.
And if we do not have Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff, the dismal and I would say absurd
and mean meanness of how they're dealing with COVID will continue.
All right.
All right.
And for everybody who hasn't voted early and is going to the polls today,
I saw there were issues with some absentee ballots.
I saw Kamala Harris saying,
do not put those in the mailbox ticket to a drop box in your County.
Now,
what advice and what will you tell people if you haven't voted early?
And if you plan to vote today,
how should you be handling this?
Number one,
go to peach vote.com to find your polling place.
Number two, if you requested an absentee ballot and didn't receive it, go to peachvote.com to find your polling place. Number two,
if you requested an absentee ballot and didn't receive it, it happened to Tyler Perry, then you
can go to your assigned polling place in person. Tell them you want to cancel your ballot and vote
in person. You can find out your assigned polling place at peachvote.com. Number three, if you get
in line, as long as you're in line by 7 p.m., no matter how long it takes, if you get in line, as long as you're in line by 7 PM, no matter how long it takes,
once you're in line, they have to let you stay.
And if you have any questions, if there are any concerns,
call 866 our vote 866 our vote.
This is a group of attorneys and volunteers and their only mission today is to
make sure your vote gets cast and your vote gets counted.
All right.
Stacey, this is my final.
I got one last question for you.
After everything you've done, you know, in the presidential election, flipping Georgia
blue and having all these earlier voters show up for the Senate race, how do you like
your chances to be Georgia's governor in 2022?
I'm sorry, there seems to be some noise on the line.
I think the only thing we can talk about is making sure that today we close this day out strong
by making certain that every person who wants to see progress,
every person who believes that their lives should be valued,
that if you want health, jobs, and justice, you're voting for John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
You're making a plan to vote all over Georgia,
and we're going to show America that Georgia can get it done.
All right.
You heard it here first.
Stacey is running again in 2022.
She'll be the next governor of Georgia.
That's right.
Thank you.
All right, Stacey.
We appreciate you for checking in.
And thank you so much.
Georgia, get out there.
Vote.
Thank you, guys.
Take care.
All right.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Rumors on the way.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's happening? Good morning. good morning. Rumors on the way. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
What's happening?
Good morning.
What's happening?
Has anybody watched Bridgerton yet on Netflix?
No, what's that?
That's another Shondaland show.
But they said that show has been viewed by 63 million households
within the four weeks of its release.
Whenever you go on Netflix,
it's always like one of the featured shows that they have on there.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Shonda Rhimes can't miss.
That's Shonda Rhimes.
I mean, she's built up such a cult-like following with Grey's Anatomy
and How to Get Away with Murder and Scandal.
So, yeah, that makes sense.
And y'all don't watch The Bachelor, though?
The Bachelor?
This is the first time ever there's a black Bachelor?
It's the first time ever a black Bachelor.
Angela, he just told you that a black woman created yet another hit show on a streaming
platform, and you talking about some goddamn Bachelor.
It was on last night.
The Bachelor was on the night.
The first time in 25 seasons they have a black Bachelor? And you know who he gave the was on last night. The Bachelor was on the first time in 25 seasons. They have a black bachelor.
And you know who he gave a word?
You know who he gave the rose to last night?
The first rose? The deaf girl.
The hearing impaired. I don't care. I don't
care about that because Angelina was giving Shonda
Rimes her flowers and here you go talking about
some black bachelor giving somebody roses.
I always wanted to shout out the Bachelor, the black Bachelor.
Jesus Christ.
Don't watch the Bachelor. You should watch it. It's pretty good. It's very entertaining. I've heard of Bridging The Bachelor, The Black Bachelor. Jesus Christ. No, I don't watch The Bachelor.
You should watch it.
It's pretty good.
It's very entertaining.
I've heard of Bridgerton now, but they said they told me it was the new Shonda Rhimes show on Netflix.
That's what they said to me.
It looks really good, though. When you watch it, just go on Netflix.
It's always one of the top things that they are promoting, but I think you guys will really enjoy it.
So, Bridgerton.
Yeah, I did.
I watched so much stuff on Screaming Services
over our holiday break.
Like, I watched stuff I would never watch.
Like, I watched both Wonder Woman movies.
Both trash.
I heard that wasn't that good.
Okay, I was going to say.
I thought both of them were trash.
I mean, I'm not a DC Comics person anyway,
but I gave it a shot.
I thought it was trash. Did y'all see The'm not a DC Comics person anyway, but I gave it a shot. I thought it was trash.
Did y'all see The Banker?
What is The Banker?
I saw that.
I saw that with Lorenz Tate.
The Banker was dope.
Damn.
Oh, I didn't watch that.
I wanted to watch that.
I watched Harley Quinn.
Harley Quinn was good.
Soul was good.
I randomly saw that, too.
Soul was great.
Did you see Donnell in it?
It was great.
You said Lorenz Tate was in The Banker?
I didn't see Lorenz Tate in The Banker. Is that? Oh, wait, no. Is that a different movie? The You said Lorenz Tate was in the banker? I didn't see Lorenz Tate in the banker.
Oh, wait, no.
Is that a different movie?
The movie that Lorenz Tate produced?
The banker is about the two brothers that was buying up a bunch of property
and they had to use a white guy as a front man.
Oh, I didn't see that.
We actually talked about that on here because it's based on a true story.
It's based on a true story, man.
It's two brothers who came together to invest in property,
but nobody would sell them property.
So they had to get a white guy.
They had a white guy that was a partner.
Yeah, so then the white guy, you know, he wasn't a partner.
He was actually, he was on salary.
The two brothers actually owned the business,
and the white guy started feeling himself
and started making moves and started doing stuff illegally.
And when it came to, you know, when they all got arrested,
the black guys didn't know anything.
Don't tell a movie. I'm just telling you. Yeah, you're telling the whole thing. It, the black guys didn't know anything. Don't tell a movie.
I'm just telling you.
Yeah, you're telling the whole thing.
I'm telling you it's in the description.
It's in the description.
I actually did watch, there's on Apple or something.
Apple TV.
Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson.
Shout to B.Dot.
B.Dot put me onto that movie.
I saw that.
I watched The Price of.
Yep.
Brian Millar.
Okay.
Millar.
And Price of Love. Did anybody watch Price of... Yep. Brian Millar. Okay. Millar. And Price of Love.
Did anybody watch Price of Love on Prime?
No.
I didn't see that.
Shout out to my girl, Nisha Neshe.
She's actually in that movie.
And Iceware Vezzo is one of those Detroit hood movies that you'll enjoy.
Uh-uh.
I didn't see that.
All right.
We got rumors on the way.
What are we talking about?
Yes, we are going to be talking about Kodak Black.
He is trying to get out of jail.
He will tell you what happened when he requested a shorter sentence.
Charlamagne, did you watch the last football game with the Giants of New York
defeating the Cowboys of Dallas?
Did you see that?
That makes absolutely no sense for you to talk about because guess what?
Both of us are home right now.
Neither one of us are in the playoffs.
So what's your point?
You're right.
Let's get it.
Why did you bring that up?
It's terrible at talking ish.
Because neither one of us are in the playoffs.
We still won.
It doesn't matter.
We still won.
We both ended the season 6-10, and neither one of us made the playoffs.
We both ended the season 6-10, and neither one of us made the playoffs. We both suck.
Hey, if you want to argue about who sucks the best, be my guest.
See, you started.
We had a good hour and 40 minutes of no talk like that, and now you're back at it.
Let's get back to it.
Let's get back to it then.
I thought this was a new year, new me, but I guess not.
All right, rumors on the way.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
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
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.
The Waikana tribe own country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets. Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on
with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly
podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy
with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records,
Nimany, to tell you all about it.
Make sure you check it out.
Hey, y'all.
Nimany here.
I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.
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. history to life through hip-hop.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin,
a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
who refused to give up her seat on the
city bus nine whole months
before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.
Get the kids in your life excited about history
by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club. Excuse me, Club. Good morning.
What are we?
I was eating some Cliff Bar, a Clif Bar.
But anyway, let's get to the room.
Let's talk Russell Wilson.
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.
All right.
Well, let's talk about what happened in this game.
The Seattle Seahawks were about to beat the San Francisco 49ers 26-23.
There were 22 seconds remaining.
Instead of running out the clock, though, Russell Wilson passed to David Moore,
and everybody was wondering what was happening during the broadcast.
But the reason he did it, Moore was one catch from getting 35 receptions on the season,
which means that he would get a $100,000 bonus.
So we purposely passed it to him so he would get that bonus.
That's dope.
I love it.
Help your brother get that money.
I was thinking that when I was watching the Texans.
Who were the Texans playing?
I think it was the Texans and Titans, if I'm not mistaken.
And I'm thinking, like, the Texans have no chance of getting in the playoffs.
The Titans do.
Why don't y'all just let them brothers win so they can get their bonus?
Lord have mercy.
All right, now, Kodak Black, he's been trying to get his time behind bars reduced,
but it seems like it's not happening.
Federal prosecutors denied his attempts to reduce his sentence,
and they said it's because his motion failed to follow legal procedures
or cite a valid reason for why he deserves less time.
They said that he has not presented any reason supporting his request for release.
He merely states he is not an evil person and promises to participate in community-based programs aimed at helping the younger generation.
That simply is inadequate pursuant to the statute.
So they also said his 46-month sentence is a lot lighter than the 10 years he was originally facing
Hey man
They always say trouble is easy to get into
And hard to get out of
Another prime example
Yeah he was trying to
Get Donald Trump to pardon him
But I don't know if that's going to end up happening
Trump has no need for any of you
Negro rappers anymore
Okay He's not here to help y'all anymore going to end up happening. Trump has no need for any of you Negro rappers anymore.
He's not here to help y'all anymore.
Alright,
now let's discuss Pop Smoke's brother, Obasi Jackson. He was
on Taraji's Peace of Mind Facebook
series, and
he was discussing
the fact that his brother was getting all these
death threats. He talks about how
he learned the news of Pop Smoke getting killed.
I woke up early.
One of my homegirls from school, you know, she came and knocked on my door.
I opened the door and she's like, yo, bro, I'm sorry to tell you this.
I hate that I want to tell you this, but, you know, your brother passed away.
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
I go in my bathroom.
I'm on the floor just like, ma, is this true?
We don't know yet.
Everything was in a confusion, you know, confused state you know um she called me back like you know it's true yeah
just break you so come here oh god let me hug you
dang all right pop smokes brother obasi also talked about the last conversation
that he had with him that That weekend right there, like that Sunday, I had just seen him.
Me, my mom, and my brother just sat in a room and talked for hours,
which had not happened in years.
That last conversation was, okay, I know my brother loves me,
and he knows I definitely love him.
And he said that he loved me.
You know what I'm saying?
Now, Taraji asked him about whether or not he had gone to therapy or would consider it and here's what happened
Have you gone to therapy?
I tried it, you know, but I just don't, something about just doing it myself, getting over it, like you know what I'm saying, myself is more appealing to me
I know that I'm the one at the end of the day that has to deal with it. I don't want nobody yes-ing me to make me feel comfortable.
I don't give it to me raw.
Well, see, that's the great thing about the right therapist.
I would hate to see you try to carry all of this by yourself.
And I would hate for you to miss out on that,
on someone, on that connection that can help you cope.
And he's not going to get over it by himself.
It's not happening.
He might suppress it, you know, for the time being, but you're not going to get over it by himself. It's not happening. He might suppress it, you know, for the time being,
but you're not going to get over it by yourself.
That's not happening to my brother.
Now, Obasi also talked about his brother, Pop Smoke,
not having security, even though he was getting death threats.
There was a time when he went through a situation
that was also, like, people were putting him down
and counting him out, and, you know,
there was a lot of threats on his life, you know.
There's a lot that goes into it, because it's like, you know, there's a lot of threats on his life. You know, there's a lot that goes into it
because it's like you go out there with no security.
I just like, I can't even fathom.
It's just mind-boggling to me
that someone would let a superstar go out with no security.
And that's the truth.
I thought the same thing.
I mean, he has security all the time
if you're that big of a star, especially with deaf threats. And I always tell all new artists and everybody, you have to be
careful about Airbnbs. And the reason why the funny thing is I don't think I've ever stayed
in the air. No, I never stayed in the Airbnb. And the reason why is it's not enough protection
for me, a hotel to get to me in my room, in my hotel, you got to go through the lobby.
Then you have to use your key card to get to the elevator. Then once you get to the elevator,
then you have to try to kick down my door. It's different levels of security. What does E-40
always say about security, Charlamagne? E-40, the good brother E-40 said, you got to make it
difficult for people. And you know, that's why I get another thing in hip hop culture, for whatever
reason, people act like it's a bad thing to have security. I'm in the hood with all my jewelry on
with no security. I can go anywhere with no security. I'll walk around with no security.
Well, it's probably because you're not worth anything.
All right.
And people know your jewelry fake.
But brothers and sisters, as I just said, my good brother E-40 always says,
you got to make it difficult for people.
And yes, you should at all times.
All right.
Now let's discuss Prince.
There's some controversy over the money that he left behind when he passed away without a will. And they're saying, according to the IRS, that his estate was undervalued by 50%,
which is about $80 million. They said that his estate is worth $163.2 million, which is way more
than the $82.3 million valuation that was submitted by his estate's administrator.
So they said that involves mostly his music publishing, his recording interest,
and they believe that he owes another 32.4 million in federal taxes, his apprentice estate.
So that would double the tax bill based on that valuation.
That's a lot.
But yeah, so we'll keep our eye on that.
And Larry King, by the way, prayers for him. He has been moved out of ICU. You know, he's been battling coronavirus. He was recently hospitalized,
but now he is out of intensive care. He is breathing on his own. According to a spokesman,
they said he was receiving oxygen, but now he's breathing on his own. And he actually
shared a video phone call with his three sons as well.
They said he does continue to improve and he and his sons thank everyone for the outpouring of support and he can't wait to get home.
All right.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, Charlemagne.
Yes, indeed.
Who are you giving that donkey to?
I need Donald J. Trump to come to the front of the congregation.
It's crazy that we're starting off 2021 with him as the first donkey of the day,
but this story needs to be told.
All right, we'll get into that next.
He was wilding on Clubhouse.
All right, he was wilding on Clubhouse.
All right, we'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Come on.
It's topic time.
Pick up the phone, baby. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Talk about it.
Morning, everybody. It's D-E-J-N-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Cardi B.
Now, what happened while Cardi B was on live, Yee?
Well, she was listening to WAP and then her daughter, Culture, walked in the room and she switched it off right quick
because it's not appropriate for a child to be listening to.
But now people are going in on her saying that she makes music for everybody else's daughter,
but she won't let her daughter listen to it.
And Cardi said she doesn't make music for kids.
She makes music for adults.
Parents are responsible for what their children listen to or see. And I agree
with her. I agree with her wholeheartedly. She makes
music for adults just like actors make
rated R movies for adults
and not meant for kids. Now, if your child
watches it, that is on you. You should be controlling
what your kid watches, what your kid sees.
I control what my kids watch, what my kids see.
I see what they watch on their iPad. I see what they watch on their iPad.
I see what they watch on their TV.
I also hear the music that they listen to.
I mean, my kids listen to kids bop, and there are some songs that they listen to,
but I'm able to protect what they're listening to.
You know what I mean?
If not, they're with me all the time or they're with my wife.
So we can monitor that.
You know what I mean?
Listen, I tend to agree with Cardi, but I can see both sides.
I understand what people are saying when they say you can create the music
and you don't want your child to listen to it,
but other people's kids can listen to it.
I can understand what people may think is some hypocrisy there,
but the reality is there is a parental advisory sticker on music for a reason.
It's not like Cardi is making WAP and saying this is for kids.
No, she's making WAP and saying this is for kids. No, she's making WAP and saying this is for adults.
And just because kids listen to this music doesn't mean they are supposed to.
So if your daughter is listening to WAP or your son is listening to WAP,
I don't think that's Cardi's fault.
Now, let me stretch it a little bit.
There's a parental advisory sticker on this music for a reason.
What about radio playing it?
Because radio plays for all audiences.
But the radio version is still kind of, you know.
The radio version sucks.
I mean, come on.
Because by the way, most people already heard the regular version
before they heard the radio version.
And by radio playing the regular version,
that will make kids go search for the song online.
And boy, would they be pleasantly surprised,
especially if you're a little boy and you go to that video.
And I would be so disappointed if all we had to listen to
was music that kids could listen to also.
If that was all we had, that would be terrible.
And I grew up listening to dancehall,
and there is nothing more sexual
than listening to some dancehall music.
By the way, though, there is no such thing as kids rap.
Kids rap is corny.
Like, there's never been thing as kids rap Kids rap is corny There's never been
Kids rap, so to speak
Rap is just rap
Romeo, they did kids rap, right?
By the way, once again
Did you vibe to that? That was for like little young
Young kids, but most of those kids still like the
Hardcore gangster stuff, you know what I mean?
They just do, that's why
Hip hop is targeted to the youth
That's why the youth are at the concerts.
Does hip-hop even have an age limit?
You don't have to be a certain age to buy music,
a certain age to show up at a certain concert, do you?
No.
It depends.
There's the things that are 18 and over.
There's some things that are 21 and over.
What are those things?
There are certain concerts you can't get in unless you're 18.
Oh, with a parent, absolutely.
I've been to plenty of them
I remember I went to go see Mac Miller
And you couldn't get in there if you weren't 18
You have to show ID and everything
Was it at a club?
I remember going to a concert as a child
My dad had to take me because I had to be over a certain age
What concert was it?
That was Run DMC Really? That was Run DMC.
Really?
Yeah, Run DMC.
Was that a club?
It was at the Garden, Madison Square Garden.
I think if you're old enough to go out by yourself,
like obviously her two-year-old daughter is not going to the club
to a concert, you know what I'm saying?
If you're old enough to go to a club by yourself,
then there's a lot of things you're doing.
You probably have a phone.
You could look at whatever you want to look at,
listen to whatever you want to listen to
if you're a certain age.
Well, let's go to the phone room.
You're probably 18, so.
Yeah, yeah.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Christine from Lindenhurst.
How are you?
Hey, good morning, Christine.
Now, what are your thoughts?
I give a lot of credit to Cardi B.
She's a performer.
And she doesn't want her, this is her job,
if she doesn't want her two-year-old listening to that,
then that's up to her or their parents.
They have to make their choices for their children.
I grew up with my parents listening to two live groups,
and when I finally understood what it was about,
I was like, oh, God, why didn't they turn the channel when I was on?
I agree with you.
My parents let me listen to anything.
First of all, you got it.
Me too.
I have four kids.
I don't have limits with what they listen to.
As long as they respect themselves and make wise choices while they're listening to it.
If it wasn't for Uncle Luke, you wouldn't be here probably.
Okay?
I'm a little older than that.
You'd be shocked when you find out your mama can pop that **** on a handstand.
Oh, my God.
When I finally realized what it was about,
I was like, are you guys kidding me?
This is disgusting.
And now look at you.
You probably doing what your mama was doing in the loop.
What was that?
Nothing.
Thank you for calling, Mama.
800-585-1051.
We're talking Cardi B.
What are your thoughts?
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning.
I know it now.
I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. Cardi B, what are your thoughts? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
I know it now. I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
Call me.
Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic.
Come on.
800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's the EJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
If you just joined us, we're talking about Cardi B.
Now, Cardi B was on live.
She was playing WAP, her single, and her daughter walked in and she turned it off.
And people were upset.
What did they say, Yee?
One woman was going, and this is the person Cardi responded to, and said,
your daughter can't listen to it, but everybody else's daughter can.
By the way, we've all done that as parents.
You know what I'm saying?
You turn certain songs off when you're in the car.
You know what I mean?
Certain songs you and your wife might listen to or you might listen to by yourself.
If your daughter jumps in the car, you're turning it off.
If y'all downstairs listening to something, something pops up on TV, you're going to turn the channel.
We've all done that as parents.
I remember listening to I Want to Sex You Up, and I was so embarrassed that I was in the car with my parents all done that as parents. I remember listening to I Wanna Sex You Up and I was so, I was embarrassed
that I was in the car with my parents when that
song was on. The only difference
here is people are saying that Cardi
is actually the creator
of this song and they feel
like it's some hypocrisy for her to not
want her daughter to hear it but not care
if other kids, other parents
kids hear the music. That's
the only thing.
Well, let's go to the phone line.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning.
This is Bad to the Bone.
Okay.
Bad to the Bone.
How many kids you got, Bad to the Bone?
How many kids you got?
I'm on Instagram now, guys.
I have two daughters.
I have a five-year-old and a ten-year-old. Okay.
And I understand completely on what the guy was saying
about what you let your kids listen to. So I'm all about that. I understand completely On what the guy was saying about
What you let your kids listen to
So I'm all about that
I try to not let them listen to nothing
I like the adult music
Because I'm very sexual
I like Keith Sweat
Let's go baby
Let's go
So I block out all the music
I don't let my daughters listen to Now my five year old come in the kitchen I'm saying? Yeah, Jodeci, all that. So I block out all the music I don't let my daughters listen to.
Now, my five-year-old come in the kitchen.
I'm cooking.
She's like, Mommy, get a bucket and a mop.
That's a wop.
And she's doing the TikTok dance.
And I'm like, where did you learn that from?
Because I never let her listen to Cardi B.
So she's like, Mommy, TikTok.
And I'm like, okay, well, TikTok blocks certain things, you know,
for our kids not to listen to.
But that's going in with me not even knowing my daughter knew that song or even shared it with her.
She knew it from TikTok, a dance.
What happens when your 90s playlist comes on and Lil' Kim says,
I used to be scared of it.
Now I throw lips to it.
Handle it like a real bitch.
Huh?
You turn that off in front of your daughter?
No, you have to turn that off.
Like, it shouldn't be playing with your kids around.
But your daughter probably really think that song wasn't about cleaning.
She probably really was like, let me get a mop and clean up.
She don't know what they're talking about.
Right.
The kids don't know what, when she gets older, she'll understand, like, oh, wow, that's what
mommy was talking about.
So Cardi B will have to explain all that to her daughter
because when her daughter gets older,
her daughter's going to be able to research her mama.
You see what I'm saying?
Knew her mama come from the strip hole.
I respect your opinion,
but I would not let you hold Cardi B to a different standard
than you held Lil' Kim or Trina.
You know damn well you was in.
Exactly.
Y'all got to stop this.
The hypocrisy is disgusting.
That's true. And I love all them sisters. All them sisters was... Exactly. Y'all gotta stop this. The hypocrisy is disgusting.
And I love all them sisters. All them sisters was freaky and wild. We used to
have the hardcore poster in
my man Jarrell's How God Blessed the Dead
just sitting on the wall for inspiration.
You remember that hardcore poster?
Right.
By the way, that's a classic.
I never listened to that
little Kim song until I got older.
And then I played it.
You're a liar.
How old are you?
You're a liar.
You're a liar.
How old are you, mama?
How old?
I'm 34.
Oh, yeah, maybe she's right.
That's all?
Yeah, she's 34.
She sounds a little older.
Music is not like music.
Where is the damn love music at?
Nobody loves nobody now.
You know what's so funny?
On vacation, we got into a big argument about that
because my homegirl, Debbie,
Salute to Debbie Brown,
she was saying that all 90s R&B is a lie.
What do you mean?
Because she was singing all of that lovemaking stuff
and what they want to do to people
and all of this romantic stuff
and nobody following through with it.
Right.
I think so.
There's a variety of things.
There's a variety of things, I feel.
Anyway.
All right, what's the moral of the story, guys?
Get them up.
Oh, Lord.
I don't take the moral to the story, man.
The only thing I would tell people is there's a parental advisory
sticker on music for a reason.
And if there's one thing we know we can't hide from kids,
it's music.
And I think it's just whack to act like, you know,
Cardi B is the worst thing to ever happen to music.
And her messaging is so bad.
Like, no, it's a long line of men and women
who have way more explicit songs than WAP.
I agree.
Knock it off.
I could see how somebody who doesn't have WAP could be offended.
Okay.
Now, we got rumors on the way in?
Yes, and Master P is talking about buying Reebok.
And what do you think is the first thing he thinks needs to happen to rebrand?
We'll tell you who he wants to make sure is on board.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. Everybody know why we get down, down, down.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Tyrese. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, this was an odd story.
Now, as we know, Tyrese, unfortunately, is getting divorced.
And it seems like him and his wife are amicable as of now.
But Wendy Williams has weighed in on what potentially could have happened.
And here's what she said.
Now, there's one person here in this building, and i can't even say what department he's in but i'll just say that tyrese only borrowed samantha and got married
for a moment just to cover up the rest of his activities in real life anyway tyrese blamed
him getting divorced on the broken black family it crazy. What does that mean?
What?
Like, what is other activities?
What does that even mean?
Like, what is she talking about?
I have no idea, but I know that it's crazy that Wendy will never evolve.
Like, that feels like such low energy.
Like, we got to mind the business that pays us.
Like, it's too many meaningless conversations that we all engage in that don't have anything to do with us.
And it amazes me that for everything Wendy went through with her divorce and not wanting to say too much about it,
she can still let things like that fly out of her mouth about others.
That's wild to me.
And let's not forget Tyrese was banned from Wendy's show.
Remember that?
She said that Kevin thought she was flirting with him.
I don't remember that.
That might be the unusual activity she's talking about.
I don't know.
Wendy talked about it.
I don't. But I reached out to Tyrese to see how
he was doing and to check up on him and
see if everything was okay and see what
was going on, you know, because it didn't seem like
Tyrese. Tyrese is a fighter, so maybe they fought
all they could fight. And he just replied,
man, oh man, that's it.
I called him and he didn't answer. I texted him.
He didn't answer.
My wife called him.
That's a good title for a song, man, oh, man.
All right.
Now, Justin Bieber.
And you probably read it man on man.
Shut up.
Here we go, guys.
That's number two.
You know what?
I thought we were taking the show in a new direction.
I see now.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Y'all keep hiding y'all activities.
Now, Justin Bieber has denied that he is studying to be a pastor.
There was a story in page six, and he said,
I'm not studying to be a minister or anything even closer that I have no desire for that.
This is fake news.
The story quoted a source that told OK Magazine he wants to be a full-fledged minister next year.
He also said, and by the way, Hillsong is not my church.
For clarity, I am a part of Church Home,
and that's a non-denominational ministry based on the West Coast
that preaches remote fellowship among its celebrity congregants.
So he's not part of Hillsong.
How can you just take news from a source?
Like, shouldn't you have to cite your sources? Shouldn't it be a reliable source? How can you just print something from a source? Like, shouldn't you have to cite your sources?
Shouldn't it be a reliable source?
How can you just print something and say a source says?
Yeah.
I mean, you can.
You know, usually you should vet out sources very well.
You can't just take it from anyone.
But I guess OK Magazine just had a source.
Now, and I saw with everything happening at Hillsong,
I saw a lot of people are stepping down from there
and there's all kinds of issues.
So we'll see what happens after Carl Lentz was fired from Hillsong.
In the meantime, Mace has been named a pastor
at Atlanta's Gathering Oasis Church.
Now, the pastor who he is replacing had this to say.
What do you see?
Like, what's the vision that you see now for the Gathering of Sister Church?
I really see this generation being turned back into God's hands.
I think there's been a major challenge with the city,
like being able to direct people back to God.
And I really welcome the challenge to do so.
I don't get it.
I just wonder how Mace will gain trust from people again in that realm.
You know what I mean?
Like when it comes to your congregation,
it's a congregation that you, I don't know about that congregation,
but you've abandoned a congregation before.
So I just wonder how people will have trust in you to believe that you are who you say you are.
Forgiveness.
And Master P, I mean, Master P,
Mace is on Clubhouse all the time too
since we were talking about Clubhouse earlier.
Now, Master P, because I talked about this earlier,
he plans to make Allen Iverson for Reebok
what Michael Jordan was for Nike.
So Reebok is for sale.
They did confirm that last month
and Master P is an interested buyer. And so what he's saying, he said, the way we look at Michael Jordan was for Nike. So Reebok is for sale. They did confirm that last month. And Master P is an interested buyer.
And so what he's saying, he said, the way we look at Michael Jordan,
we look at Iverson that way and Reebok,
we need to bring him to the forefront.
We need to bring in better designers.
We also need to make this for the millennials.
And I think that would be a game changer.
I thought Allen was already that for Reebok, though.
I think they want to make him like more of the face of it, though, now.
Yeah, more of the face of Reebok.
I thought he was.
Other than
Dee Brown.
Shaq.
Shaq?
No, I go with AI. You know why?
Because I had more pairs of the answers.
I didn't have a pair of the Shaqs. I had a pair of
the Dee Brown Reebok pumps, and I had
all of the answer colorways. I never had a pair of Shaqacks. I had a pair of the D-Brown Reebok pumps, and I had all of the Anson colorways.
I never had a pair of Shacks.
The G-Unit sneakers and the S-Dot.
I definitely don't look at them as the face of Reebok.
Not at all.
Never did that at all.
I definitely look at Reebok as being synonymous with Allen Iverson, though.
Yeah, but I think they want to make him more in the forefront of that,
just like how Jordan's like the forefront.
They want to put him out there and really go hard and have him.
But Jordan is the forefront of his own brand.
Of his brand, yeah.
Yeah, Jordan is the forefront of the Jordan brand.
But they could do that with Allen Iverson, too, in that case.
I really didn't know he wasn't.
I'm going to be honest with you.
Yeah, they got to build it up.
All right.
Always looked at him like he was.
All right, well, that is Jordan.
He's been at Redbox for years.
Rumor report. All right, well, that is your rumor report.
All right, well.
I think they just want to delve deeper
and make it even bigger,
like blow it up even more.
They got to sign
a new player.
Right, because it's
already a natural thing
you think of
when you think of Reebok,
you think of Allen Iverson.
Why not really push that more?
I understand what he's saying.
All right, well,
that is your rumor report.
The mix is up next.
Don't go anywhere.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
I'm really surprised that you guys don't watch The Bachelor.
I'll try.
The first black bachelor in 25 seasons?
I'm not going to lie.
I've never, ever watched The Bachelor.
But a black Bachelor, I would show my support.
The first girl he picked was a deaf woman?
This is a great show.
But Bridgerton, that's my plan for today.
I'm cleaning and watching Bridgerton.
I'm going to watch Bridgerton, too.
I'm going to watch that.
And catch up on Power Book, too, because I missed the last episode.
And I saw Notori post this
But Tasha's out of jail
That's all I know
She posted everybody's talking about it
I gotta see what happened
And that 50 NLE Choppa record is dope too
I know they're using that as the theme song for it now
I haven't seen the last two episodes of Power
So I gotta catch up
Yes, you got to
We gotta have Notori up here
They're not using that for the theme song.
That's for the Raising Canaan.
Raising Canaan.
That's for the Raising Canaan show.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
And shout out to Cash Doll.
I see she's a seasoned regular.
She's going to be on the Black Mafia family,
the BMF story on Starz.
So she's a series regular on that.
My girl Cash Doll.
Okay.

So go ahead and pre-order that now wherever you pre-order books, Tamika Mallory, State of Emergency. And the positive note is simply this, man.

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.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
