The Breakfast Club - I Got the JuJu
Episode Date: August 30, 2019Today on the show we flashed back to the time we opened up the phone lines and asked the listeners there opinion about Diddy and Lori Harvey allegedly dating. We also flashed back to when Dapper Dan s...topped by the show and spoke about his come up, building a brand and more. Moreover, since many people are still putting their opinions in on Jay-Z partnering with the NFL we flashed back to when we had listeners call up and give their comment on the topic. In addition, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to middle school students who played a stinky prank on a teacher and we had Naomi and Dovey stop by who performed at "Yee Day" and lets just say they definitely got nasty this morning.

Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Big Chalk with the toe sucker.
How we doing this morning?
Oh, my goodness.
What do you want, toe sucker? We have somebody here whose toes you can suck.
Hey.
Now, listen, Ray, that's why I'm calling in.
I heard his voice.
Two quick things, right, Trav?
I want to know, did you fix Charlemagne breakfast in bed today, brother?
Charlemagne still asleep when I left the house.
Oh, did he?
Wow.
So that means last night was a great night.
Man.
Man.
Did you give him a kiss goodbye?
Mind your business.
Oh, we don't kiss and tell over here.
Yo, the other thing, real quick, I'm blessed.
I got an opportunity to meet Snoop Dogg at Foxwoods Casino on June 27th.
Get up on stage with him and tell Snoop,
stop sucking the gin and juice and start sucking the ladies' toes at his show.
He'll be there June 27th.
You're all invited.
I'm trying to get in.
Help me out.
All right.
Bye, big chocolate toe sucker.
It's not going to happen.
But have a good one.
Hello, who's this?
This is Desmond.
Desmond, get it off your chest, bro.
I just called in.
I'm on my way to the ER.
I just hope my team has a successful day today
and everybody has good vibes and enjoys their day.
What's wrong?
Why are you on your way to the ER?
What's wrong with you, bro?
What's up?
I'm working at the ER.
Oh, you're working at the ER.
You're going to work.
You said it like you was
going to have surgery. He was hurt.
Nah, y'all have a good day.
Alright, man. Have a good one, bro. Okay. That was alarming.
Olivia. Yes.
Good morning, Olivia.
Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
How are you today? Hey, Olivia.
Get off your chest.
So, first off, I want to say
to all the kids graduating this week, congrats. Very proud of all of you, so first of all, I want to say to all the kids graduating this week,
congrats, very proud of all of you.
And second of all,
to all the parents,
the mothers, the fathers
that are out there
using their kids
as clones against each other,
like, y'all need to just stop.
The kids are graduating,
y'all need to get along
and just be there for each other.
Be there for the kids
and show them that you're proud.
That's right.
Okay, I agree with you, Mama. And congratulations to all the
kids. I got one going into high school, one going
into first grade, one going into kindergarten.
Yeah, it's always easier said than done. Three graduations to go
to. And I'm pissed off. Well, I ain't gonna say pissed off.
Me too. Me too. The graduations, I ain't
gonna lie. They'd be awesome. You know what? Let me
stop. Yeah. They'd be long for no reason.
Super long. They're definitely peer
jerkers. You remember all the memories of your children and what they mean to you and how proud you
are of them.
I'm not looking to.
I ain't up front.
I did the first two already and then I was like, I did two already.
Listen, don't let them catch you falling asleep.
Oh my goodness.
My daughter will cry.
Of course.
What?
My daughter will cry if I'm not paying attention.
Oh my goodness.
Well, thank you for calling, Mama.
Of course.
Thank you guys for the opportunity.
You guys have a great day.
You too. I'm not going to mess up your name. What's your name?
Tawana. That's not
hard. No, but they have, like, Tawana
with a Q? No, with a T.
Tawana. They got Tawana
here. That's why I said I want to mess it up. Get it off your chest,
Tawana. It's got messed
it up anyway. Well, I'm
just calling because I'm blessed today. I'm a teacher
in Boston Public Schools, and today is our last day of work.
Wow.
What you doing for the summer?
Well, I'm going to go on a couple trips.
I'm going to Chicago.
I'm going on a cruise.
I got a couple things planned.
Are you going with a man?
You going with somebody's son?
First, I'm going with my husband.
There you go.
Look at Trav.
See where Trav's mind is?
Well, you enjoy, and thank you for all the work thatv. See where Trav's mind is. Well, you enjoy
and thank you
for all the work
that you do
because being a teacher
is difficult.
It is.
It is.
Thank you guys so much.
Now, one question.
If you could change
anything with the curriculum,
what would you change
as being a teacher?
I would actually change
the fact that we have
to follow certain curriculum.
If we can kind of
make our own,
I think that would be
so much better
because there's certain things that we can't really be
teaching because it's not written out, you know,
it's not approved by the district.
But if we can kind of teach black history
and that would be amazing. And let me ask you
one more question. If Envy was your student,
what grade do you think he would have?
Based off of hearing him...
I bring my teachers
apples every day. No, I didn't ask that.
I bring my teachers apples every day. What teachers I didn't ask that. I bring my teachers apples every day.
What teachers do you have?
I don't like apples.
I don't like apples.
So what do you think his grade would be?
Probably a C.
Ooh.
Okay.
Thanks, Tawana.
Bye.
That's good.
You still passed.
Bye, boo.
At least you didn't say D.
Get it off your chest.
That's what you really wanted.
He really wanted the D, huh?
Yeah, everyone had a D.
800, you know what?
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
This is Tiffany.
Hey, Tiffany, good morning.
Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Hey, get it off your chest.
Yeah, I'm just pumped this morning.
My husband, my kids were blessed.
My second child, she got skipped from the fourth grade to the sixth grade.
Wow. Falling out of control. Yes, we are. blessed. My second child, she got skipped from the fourth grade to the sixth grade, so we're falling out
of control. Yes,
we are. My husband, we had
thunder sex last night. I'm working
on stage five because we got four
kids. Now, what is thunder
sex? What is thunder sex now?
Thirteen years. Thunder sex.
What is that?
When the lightning come out. You know, it was raining
real hard last night. Oh, got you, got you.
Yeah, that's a good feeling.
I was working on stage five,
but I jumped up too quick.
But that's all right.
We can still get there.
Yes, ma'am.
All right, mama.
Okay.
All right, well, enjoy your day.
You seem happy.
From the fourth grade
to the sixth grade,
that's amazing.
All right, mama, have a good one.
Yes.
Thank you.
God bless.
Hello, who's this?
This is Joey.
Hey, Joey, get it off your chest.
Hey, man, I want to tell you, DJ Envy,
that y'all really do need to start the show at 6 or 5,
like Charlamagne said, man.
Look, the show starts at 6.
We were just joking.
Charlamagne, he said 6 or 5, but it starts at 6.
Oh, they think I'm joking?
They think I'm joking about my time being different.
Okay.
You got me on CP time, DJ Envy.
You should know you Dominican, man.
Goodbye, man.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, my name's LaKaya.
I'm from the 317 Indianapolis.
What's up, mama?
Get off your chest.
I was wondering,
because I have a question for Angela.
So how do you feel about a guy saying
that you can't wear some type of dress?
A guy that's your boyfriend saying he can't wear some type of dress or some kind of outfit because he doesn't like you in it.
But he likes to see girls on Instagram in the same outfit.
Well, first of all, he can't tell you what you can and can't wear.
That's completely up to you.
So let's get that straight first and foremost. And that's a silly
reason. Now he could not like
something that you wear and he can't express
himself in that way, but he can't tell you
you can't wear it. So now it's up to you how
you react to that. Do you say, okay,
I'm going to do what I want to do and
make this a stand that I'm going
to take so you don't try this in the future? Or
do you say, okay, let me listen to what he's
saying and see if there's a valid reason that he
feels that way and then we can discuss it.
It's up to you. Okay.
Well, what if it's like
he doesn't like it because
he doesn't want others. Like, what if you wear it
while you're with him? Like, it's
a dress with a slit in it, but he
doesn't like the slit. What's with
him going out? There's nothing he
could really do about it.
It's not really on him.
He should think that you're his girl and you're, you know, you know how to dress and you look cute.
I don't think that he can tell you what to wear and what not to wear.
That's all.
What's he going to do?
Take you home and say we're not going out anymore?
Do you ever tell him how to dress?
No, not really.
It's just like, I don't know.
It's really weird to me.
We had this discussion like the other day because I wanted to wear a dress.
And he was like, I don't want anybody else to see me in it. Well, tell him to buy you some clothes that he likes then.
Have a good one, Mama.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I trade my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic
happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow,
and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run
and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her
dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves,
for self-preservation and protection. it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best and And you're gonna 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.
It's DJ, MV, Angela
Gee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the
Breakfast Club. Now, if you
just joined us, we were talking about Diddy and Lori Harvey.
Now, it seems like they were, what, on vacation with each other?
Yeah, they were in Italy, and they were with Steve and Marjorie Harvey as well on that vacation.
And it does look like they're feeling each other.
All right.
So what is the question?
From their body language.
Now, as the woman in the room, I will say probably the guy, the oldest I dated was
12 years older than me ever. And when I was 22 years old, you couldn't tell me nothing. So if I
wanted to date somebody who was 49, I wouldn't have cared. I would have did it anyway because
I felt like I was grown at that young age. So I think it's really hard to tell a girl who she
can and can't date, especially when she's independent. She's living on her own. The more
your parents try to tell you not to date
somebody, the more you're going to want to do it.
So, on her behalf,
she can do whatever she wants. Now,
the only thing I see as an issue is I don't think
Diddy should date somebody who his son dated
because we don't know how Justin feels about it.
But we don't know. Right, we don't know. So, allegedly...
It could have just been a one date type
of thing. Maybe they were just hanging out. Yeah, it might not have been
that big of a deal, allegedly.
So that's the only thing that I would have an issue with if he really did date her.
I think Diddy should be like, that's off limits, if that is the case.
Now, I don't know what the real situation is, but if I had an issue with anything, it would be that.
What if it ain't no fun if daddy can't have none?
Shut up.
Listen, I wouldn't like it if my daughter was dating someone that old, but it's not like...
Can't do nothing about it.
Yeah, he's not breaking the law.
She's of age.
She's old enough to drink.
She's old enough to make her own decisions.
Diddy and Cassie had a 17-year age difference.
Y'all wasn't tripping then.
So I just don't have any feelings about this.
She's grown, and I wouldn't want my daughter to do it, but I don't think it's wrong, per se.
Do you feel like, well, at least it's Diddy.
Would you feel like that?
Listen, I asked myself a simple question about 10 minutes ago.
Would I rather have my daughter be in Italy with Diddy,
or would I like to have her at Trouble's pool party sexually assaulting cucumbers?
You got to really ask yourself these type of things.
No, how about neither?
How about none?
Listen, I'm with you.
And it's not against the law, but that age difference is crazy.
And the fact that they're all out, Steve Harvey, you know,
Marjorie Harvey,
Lori Harvey, and Diddy,
that...
I will be...
I'm going to die a married man.
I love my wife.
I want to ride or die,
you know, with my wife forever.
But in the case that something happens
where we end up getting a divorce
at 50,
I might want a 22-year-old.
I don't know.
I'm just being honest.
Like, I don't know. Like, so I'm not here to judge-old. I don't know. I'm just being honest. I don't know.
So I'm not here to judge this situation.
I don't think it's...
I personally would not want my daughter to do this,
but 22 years old is grown.
She can make her own decisions.
Now, as fathers, are you guys saying...
Would you guys say, well, at least it's Diddy?
No.
No.
I don't care.
I'm just looking at the age.
I'm just looking at the age of a 50-year-old and a 22-year-old.
At least she out here living her best life on a private jet.
If I had to compare it to...
Drinking Ciroc Unlimited.
No.
The only way I look at it like that is...
All the flavors.
The only way I look at it like that is if I'm comparing it to them girls at Trouble's
Pool Party.
I would much rather her be with Diddy than be sucking cucumbers poolside at Trouble's
Pool Party.
I ain't letting my daughter leave the house now.
But let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Natalie.
Good morning. Hey, Natalie. We're talking Diddy the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Natalie. Good morning.
Hey, Natalie.
We're talking Diddy and Lori Harvey.
Allegedly, they're together.
What are your thoughts?
I would say yes.
We shouldn't be surprised at this point.
I mean, it's Diddy.
I mean, he was with Cassie for how many years?
Yeah.
And it's not like she was 40 years old or 50 years old.
Cassie was 20-something when they started dating.
17-year age difference between Cassie and Diddy.
Exactly.
I'm more disgusted with Steve Harvey and his wife sitting there just chilling on vacation.
Like, that's cool.
Like, no, y'all not doing that around me.
Yeah, but that lady, but the young girl is 22 years old.
She's grown.
That is not grown.
When my sister's 22 years old, that is not grown.
Did you feel grown when you were 22?
I did, but that was me.
We're not talking about me.
Oh.
No, that's not.
I mean.
Okay, okay, okay.
Hold on.
Let me push back a little bit because, you know, I hate to tie this back into the mass
shooters, but the mass shooters this weekend was like, what, 23, 24 years old?
24.
Are they grown?
I don't think they were grown.
Jesus Christ. I don't know what you call grown then. You thought you was grown at 22
though, and let's be clear. Could your parents
have told you who you could and couldn't date?
Yes. At that age, yes.
They were telling me who I could and could
not date. Oh, I had my own apartment.
I wasn't thinking about that. I did it
anyway, but no. I mean, it my own apartment. I wasn't thinking about that. I did it anyway, but no.
Right.
I mean, it's ditty.
We shouldn't be surprised.
There's no way in hell.
Thank you, Mama.
There's no way in hell my daughter is bringing home a 50-year-old guy.
That's not going to happen.
But what can you do?
What, are you going to disown her?
Tell her she can't do it?
At 22, I had graduated from college.
Yes.
Had my own apartment.
They didn't even know what I was doing.
Yeah, all that.
They didn't know what I was doing.
You know, my father-in-law used to not want his daughter around me.
And he was a smart man.
Get out of here.
Yes.
He was a smart ass man.
You know what that makes your daughter do when you tell her that she can't be around a boy?
Defy.
Throw it back on him harder.
All right?
I'm just letting you know.
Okay?
So, I don't know what to do in this situation, bro.
My goodness.
That woman has grown.
585-1051. We're talking Diddy and
Lori Harvey. Do you want your daughter
to throw it back on them?
I'm just kidding. What are your thoughts?
Guys, come on.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're
talking about Diddy and Lori
Harvey.
They're allegedly dating.
Diddy's 50, she's 22.
He had Lori Harvey on his wish
list.
So let's go to the phone lines.
What's up, Mike?
What's up, bro?
We're talking Diddy.
What you think, bro?
Oh, man, I don't think nothing
wrong with it, man. I mean, he's 49, she's 22. Plus, We're talking Diddy. What you think, bro? Oh, man, I don't think nothing wrong with it, man.
I mean, he's 49, she's 22.
Plus, we're going to stop acting like he's been smashing the young girls and boys.
It ain't that.
Okay.
He's been smashing the young girls and boys.
You didn't have to say boys, bro.
Where did that come from?
Come on now.
I mean, okay, but I'm just saying, though.
Why would you say that?
I ain't even caught that he said boys.
You just rolled with it.
I was just talking about the fact that he said young like that.
Like, there's between smashing, you know, young women and smashing the young women R. Kelly was smashing.
Hello, who's this?
Hello, this is Jay.
How you doing, Jay?
Hey, Jay, you sound like an older man.
I am an older man.
Okay.
And I'm calling you guys from Dayton.
So, I've been listening to you this morning on 102.9.
Real quick, I'm going to say mine and raise up.
I'm in my 50s.
I've never looked at my children's partners as dating options.
That's a line that I don't cross.
I don't care whether it's legal or not.
Once they've been with one of my children, that's off limits.
Right.
I have to question the character.
That's the first piece.
The second piece is, as far as the age group is concerned, in my 50s, I find women in their early 20s,
even though no matter how intelligent they may be,
they don't have the wisdom or the moral depth
to hang out with somebody like me or my peers.
So I don't understand, aside from physical, what's going on.
You're not lying.
What if she's very smart and mature?
Thank you.
They can be smart and immature,
but we still are not going to be able to connect
from an experienced perspective
on a few things. I'm always going to find myself
trying to either backfill them on something
because I'm comfortable
in the life I've lived and they still have their life
to live. What if she knows all the
throwback songs? She ain't going to know them all.
Listen, you're not lying because
them young girls don't understand none of your references.
You know what I'm saying? They can be super smart and you call them Doogie Howser and they look at you like you're crazy. because them young girls don't understand none of your references. Nope. You know what I'm saying?
They can be super smart and you call them Doogie Howser and they look at you like you're crazy.
We had an intern up here.
What if she's like, I love Doogie Howser?
Would that be dope?
We had an intern up here last week.
Her name was Jillian.
Salute to Jillian.
Jillian just went back to school.
I gave Jillian a bottle of hypnotic as a parting gift.
Jillian looked at me and said, what is this?
What are you doing?
I said, you never heard of Incredible Hulk?
She said, yeah, from the Avengers.
I said, no, you mix it with Hennessy and it turns green.
And she was like, I've never heard of this.
Hypnotic.
Why are you giving out yoga gym?
That was your parting gift?
Because I'm a re-gifter.
And that's what they sent up here for me.
And I didn't want it.
You could have gave her anything else.
You gave her some damn hypnotic.
Heather!
She should take that back to college and live.
Good morning.
Hey, Heather.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
We're talking Diddy and Lori Harvey.
What are your thoughts?
I just feel so that P. Diddy is another R. Kelly dating these young men.
Okay, stop. No, no, no, no.
We're going too far.
I don't know if I can compare that.
That's not, no.
He has daughters that are young as well.
So when they get of age, how is he going to feel about his daughters dating someone his age?
Well, he can't be. Hopefully, he someone his age? Well, he can't be.
Hopefully he's not a hypocrite because he can't be a hypocrite if his daughter is 22 years old
and they date somebody 49.
He just got to roll with it.
Alfred.
Yeah, how's it going, man?
We're talking Diddy, Lori, Harvey.
What's your thoughts?
Me personally, I mean, there ain't nothing wrong with what he's doing, but to me it's not right.
His son dated a girl, and Steve Harvey's daughter,
and Steve ain't got nothing to say about it.
But me, first, I think it's nasty.
He's 27 years different.
You can't find, you got all this money, and you can pick up any chick you want.
You want to go for something half your age, it makes no sense.
And let me explain this.
Thank you, Alfred.
I don't think the age and the 27-year difference is the problem.
What's the problem?
And the reason I say that is because if she was 32 and Diddy was 60,
I don't think it would be that much of a discrepancy.
The fact that she's still young, she's 22 years old,
I don't think necessarily they can even have the same conversation.
They haven't lived the same lives.
Like she's still a child, in my opinion.
A 32-year-old cannot relate to a 60-year-old.
It's closer, though.
No, it's not. A though. No, it's not.
A 50?
No, it's not.
I'm going to tell you why.
Why?
When I was 30, big, grown-ass, 30-year-old, rusty man, she was in a diaper.
If she was even born yet.
You understand what I'm saying?
So I always think about it like this.
Imagine a 30-year-old standing over a baby's crib.
You'd be like, if you don't get your nasty ass, you kill him right there on the spot.
Now, that's why I don't like when people...
I don't even know what I'm trying to say right now.
I'm sitting there trying to explain something
I really don't have an opinion about because
like I said, if it was my daughter,
I wouldn't want her dating somebody that old, but
Diddy's not breaking the law. She's of age.
She's old enough to drink.
I don't think it's
immoral. I just don't have an opinion.
It seems like Steve has no problem with it.
Seems like Marjorie has no problem with it.
Seems like Lori has no problem with it.
Seems like the Combs family has no problem with it.
So, hey, she's grown.
It's probably like when she has her conversations with Steve Harvey.
Y'all look at him.
Listen, y'all looking at him and y'all saying, damn, what do you got in common with her?
What about her?
Why?
Why is she looking at him in that way?
You know what?
She also probably keeps him young. Because you know, Diddy
has a young spirit.
She probably fills him in on all the hip
things that's happening out there. Until he
want to go to bed at 10 o'clock. And she's like,
we in Italy. Let's get it popping.
And his feet hurt. Who put you on the
Tory Burke and all that stuff? Who the hell is Tory Burke?
No, maybe not. What's the
stuff that he used to buy? Tory Birch?
Tory Birch. Are you talking about Coach?
What are you talking about?
Michael Kors?
Michael Kors.
Who put you on to Michael Kors back in the day?
Bro, what are you talking about?
The young chick.
No.
He's like, this isn't about me.
She wasn't young.
Oh, she wasn't?
No, she was young.
She was Dominican.
Oh.
And you know Dominicans love Michael Kors.
You never was young.
Who said she was young?
You know what?
I said she was Dominican.
He said, no, she wasn't young.
She was just Dominican.
I don't know about now, but back in the day,
Dominican women used to love Michael Kors, okay?
You could change a Dominican woman's life with a Michael Kors bag.
All right?
Drom, you Spanish, am I lying?
I'm not getting involved in this.
Now you're thinking of somebody different.
All right, this is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Keep The Breakfast Club humbled with Slander The Breakfast Club.
Hate me if you want to, love me if you want to, but just use your common sense.
Holla, holla, me humble, holla.
Hey, it's time to Slander the Breakfast Club.

What?
Go ahead, Deedee.
You're trying to switch it up.
Switch it up.
Hey, Angela, we talked a couple of months ago.
I told you your name reminds me of a yeast infection.
You said you were going to change it

Angela D, Angela T.
You got to let go of the yeast.
So you want me to just
disown my family?
Yes, you want you to turn Muslim.
Angela X.
Oh, no.
I don't want you to turn
on your culture.
That would be wrong,
but it just makes me itch
every time I hear it.
It makes me itch.
Have you ever had
a yeast infection?
Pregnant, I did, and it was not pleasant.
So you're giving me flashbacks.
Okay.
I like y'all.
Goodbye, Day-Day.
You can't tell her goodbye.
This is slander.
She's itching.

DJ Envy.
Yes, ma'am.
Envy, I need you to pick up a thesaurus to find another word to use instead of amazing.
I've been practicing.
Everything.
You've been practicing.
You want to hear?
You double down.
You double down on the amazing, and you say amazing, amazing.
Amazing, amazing. I've been practicing. You want to hear? You know what? I'm not going to lie. Envy amazing and you say amazing, amazing. Amazing, amazing.
I've been practicing. You know what? I'm not going to lie.
Envy's making me say the word amazing.
I'm like, when did I start using this word? Awesome. Breathtaking.
Fabulous. Heart-stopping.
Marvelous. Miraculous.
Envy does say amazing all the time.
Wonderful.
Extraordinary.
Phenomenal. Sensational.
Spectacular.
Amazing.
I've been practicing.
My wife told me the same thing.
Can you sing Amazing Grace?
Amazing Grace.
How sweet.
I love you, but no.
All right, fine.
Goodbye.
You do?
Because I was like, why am I using this word?
Because Envy's always calling everything amazing.
Why have I never noticed you say amazing so much?
Because when I call you amazing, you like it.
I mean, have you seen my skin?
Your what?
It is amazing.
Envy would be like, Karsha's coming to be amazing.
We have some amazing sponsors.
I've been practicing.
I had an amazing meeting with Lincoln Tech.
My wife told me the same thing.
I've been practicing.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is D.
D, what's up, man?
You want to slander the Breakfast Club?
Hell yeah, because I've been slandering y'all for forever.
I slandered y'all the last time, and y'all
didn't even give me my credit. Last time

views, and y'all ain't giving me my credit.
Man, ain't nobody views you. Dirty,
light bulb looking ass.
Hey, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.
Straight up. Charlemagne?
Yes, ma'am. You listening?
Yes, ma'am.
I hate your face.
Thank you.
You look like a trash bag.
Damn.
And a dirty socket.
Okay.
That's not nice.
I don't even know what a socket is.
Kind of true.
Like a dirty b**** socket you're talking about.
But go ahead.
Indeed.
Light bulb head DJ Envy.
Never playing no real music.
That's a fact.
Always playing the same wack shit.
You're right.
Oh my gosh.
You look like a dirty chicken wing.
You do kind of look like a dirty chicken wing.
Is it lemon pepper?
Or is it just...
You said you want to get a salad toss.
No.
No, sir.
What else?
Oh, who was that?
Yee?
No.
That is Yee.
You looking like a dirty chihuahua.
Yeah, you need a new word other than dirty.
You know how we keep using amazing?
You should have said like amazing chihuahua.
Yeah, you got to stop using dirty so much.
FYI, dirty chihuahuas are cute.
I'm going to get you a thesaurus, bro.
Have a blessed day, okay?
Hey, please play the right music, man.
Real talk.
No.
What you want to hear?
What you want to hear?
Something dirty.
Hey, today is national.

Today is national wine and cheese day too, sir. I just thought you might want to know that Something dirty. Hey, today is National Wine and Cheese Day, too, sir.
I just thought you might want to know that.
Wine and cheese?
Yeah.
So you can use some of that shmegma and put it on a cracker.
And wine up on it.
And wine up on it.
Okay.
Shmegma?
Yes, sir.
You're funny as hell.
Yeah, Google it and you'll be like, oh, that's what that is that's causing that smell.
Funny as hell.
And you're ugly.
But thank you.
All right, thank you, man.
All right, slam to the Breakfast Club.
800-585-1051.
Keep it locked.
This is the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
My name is DJ Envy Angela Yee.
Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
One of the flyest just people I know.
Yes, indeed.
OG legend Dapper Dan.
Dapper Dan.
Welcome.
Let me tell you something, man.
Your book is amazing, but it's going to make an even better movie.
Amazing, man.
I look around.
I came in here and looked around, man.
First thing that came to my mind was Juicy.
Never thought hip-hop would take this far.
Wow.
When I started out, Andre Harrell had a little office in Brooklyn.
And Puffy was like an intern there.
To see where this has come today, man, is amazing.
Where we are.
And people say that about you.
And without even knowing your whole entire story, and this book really details a lot of things that we didn't know.
Correct.
About the legend of Dapper Dan.
Yeah, I can't believe you're alive, my brother.
I can't either.
How did you survive New York
in the 70s and 80s? You know,
I just, like,
kept switching lanes, man.
A sad thing that happened, like, when
what happened with Nipsey,
I learned early on that
a lot of young guys don't know. The streets
will implode on you
if you don't understand them.
You cannot be in it and not of it.
Yeah.
When you walk away from the streets, you got to break clean.
All right.
You got to break clean.
You just can't have no contact.
You got to reflect for a while.
And so that's what happened to me.
They tried to kidnap me.
Got shot.
Still got the bullet in the neck, you know?
Why don't we start from the beginning?
Because a lot of people might not know.
They hear the name Dapper Dan.
They see the face, but they don't know what you've done.
So how did you get started? We was like so poor.
You know, we used to steal food from supermarkets, man.
It was just have holes in our shoes.
That whole experience, man, set the stage for how we would think.
The major difference came when 1967, me and all my brothers got busted selling drugs.
And on June 19th, 1967, I got out September 27th, 1967.
And one of the brothers in there who was locked up with me is one of the alleged shooters that killed Malcolm.
And I saw the respect that he had, man.
I said, I might go back to jail again, but I'm never going back like this as a drug dealer.
So I walked away from 1967.
I went back to high school at 23 years old.
I needed to find out who I
was. He let you back in high school at 23?
At 23. Street
academies. It was a three-part program.
You go there to the street academy,
go from street academy, academy
and transition, then you get a scholarship
to go to prep school. I went to that. And then you get a scholarship to go to prep school i went to that and then you get a scholarship to go to college so it was like a seven year process
of me leaving the street before i came back but the the serious thing that changed my mind the
most like is four day boys and i'm the youngest right and we all got busted we're in the jail at
the same time they called me out the bullpen and then they pulled me back in. I'm like 19, 20, right? So when I
got back in the cell, I asked my brother, I said, what was that?
He said, that's the snitch behind the door
that's telling on us. And I come to find out
the guy who told on us was the guy who told us how to
hustle. And I told my brothers from that moment
on, I said, I'm done with that.
You said the guy that killed my
brother. The guy? Yeah, that's the one who
He maintains his innocence though, right?
He said he didn't... Alleged, yeah.
Right.
But you said he got respect in jail?
Crazy respect.
Why?
At that time,
Nation Islam was really powerful
and with a lot of elements in the street,
Malcolm was considered a traitor.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You follow what I'm saying?
We're talking 1968.
Martin Luther King was considered a coon
and an Uncle Tom.
What changed the trajectory of how your generation thinks about them is what they did after that.
They both went global.
How did the drug game help and hurt the business of Dapper Dan?
The crack epidemic created a cash flow in the street.
Middle class blacks would not buy from me. The most revolutionary element that you found in the street that didn't care about what people think was the Yankees.
As long as it looked nice, they would buy it.
And you have to remember, I was doing luxury goods.
So they was the only one that had the money that could spend on what I was doing.
When you started doing the clothing and it was on all the artists and all the celebrities and the drug dealers,
and they sent that cease and desist and shut your store down, how did you survive after that?
Well, here's what I did.
At the height of my business, I had gangsters coming from all over the country.
So when they shut me down and I went underground, underground i would hit i would make clothes in the underground and hit every black city from new york to chicago
because all the gangsters i knew all the key key gangsters in them cities so it wasn't no problem
and that's how i sustained myself for 20 years man but now when i went to africa i saw a lot of
different things at one time i i thought i had it. How did that change you? You went in 68, right?
How old were you then? 68 was like, oh,
23. And you went to Ghana. No, I went
to Ghana, Tanzania, Ethiopia,
Sudan, Egypt, Liberia,
Nigeria. We just did, we just lived with
families. It was a living. So what'd you learn from that trip?
Oh, man.
There's certain things I learned from that trip that's
instrumental in helping me to do what I'm doing
now. And let me talk about that.
When I was staying in Kenya, Joe McKenna was the president there.
But one of the most important things that he did that I learned from that trip is that even today,
the economy is controlled by people from outside, basically Indians, right?
So what Joe McKenna did, he said, every business here has to have an indigenous Kenyan as a partner.
And then after five years, he said, OK, y'all cannot be in this sector of business.
Now, in contrast to that, we was in Uganda.
And remember, Idi Amin took over in Uganda.
And when Idi Amin took over in Uganda, he kicked out all the Indians and the economy collapsed. So when you look
at how we make progress,
we make progress through how we learn.
But we have to get inside to learn.
Which is important to
my relationship with Gucci, right?
When you see my relationship with Gucci,
I learned from Jomo
Kenyatta that
we have to be inside. We have to make sure
we learn about the dynamics of these businesses
so we can later run these businesses,
and these businesses will be able to sustain themselves.
Okay, when they ran me underground and all the black brands came about,
they all collapsed.
Why we don't have no black brands today?
Because we didn't get inside.
We didn't understand what it meant to be inside.
So you got to be in these fashion houses to learn how to build.
Exactly.
All right, we got more with Dapper Dan.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have OG legend Dapper Dan in the building.
Charlamagne?
So what are some of the mistakes that the black brands made?
The mistake we made is none of the brands was a luxury brand.
None of the black brands?
Yeah, all the black brands.
None of them was a luxury brand.
But how did we create luxury, though?
Luxury only comes from the value that we put on it, right?
Good, good question.
No, no, no.
Luxury comes from us having the money to buy luxury.
That's the only way we can get luxury, right?
But we don't generate that kind of money here.
Now, with my partnership with Gucci, I'm
selling out in Japan. I'm selling out in Asia.
I'm selling out in all those places
where our culture is very powerful.
So if we want
a luxury brand, we have to
have a distribution
that's powerful enough that we
can get our brand in those countries.
But what about all those drug dealers or rappers or whoever can afford,
they can afford the fashion, the high fashion stuff,
so why can't the black stuff have the same type of value?
No, there's not enough of them.
He's trying to be international.
He's talking about around the world.
I'm talking international now.
And distribution even to get into those locations in other countries.
Exactly.
I'm just trying to figure out why we put more value on that stuff
than we do our own stuff.
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Well, that's an individual choice,
but I'm not going after what we buy.
I'm going after, this is what,
our market, who we are, is our culture.
I'm not going to argue with black people in Harlem
or in the United States
about whether you want to buy luxury or not
or put your money in there.
No.
If our culture is so powerful and it's selling around the world,
and somebody else is selling it, I want to get to where they're selling it at.
Do you follow me?
These major brands, there's no secret.
When you look around, who are the influencers?
We are the influencers.
Our culture.
Right?
And our ability to influence is going all around the world.
I'm not concentrating on just getting this black money here.
Why I can't get that global money if I got that global culture going on?
You're right, but with your voice, right?
Don't you think you could have made a Sean John, a Fat Farm,
or any black brand just as cool and popping as you did the Gucci's and the Louis's?
Because that was only cool because dudes in the hood was wearing it.
But you don't understand what I'm saying.
Malcolm thought global. You understand what I'm saying. Malcolm thought global.
You understand what I'm saying?
Martin thought global.
I'm thinking global.
I'm not thinking about this head.
You know, they cater to right here.
I don't want to do that.
He's saying this is an established brand already.
I want to go global, man.
So go into the established global brand, learn from that,
and then you can establish your own global brand.
Malcolm and Martin weren't global brands.
They were brands that were started right
here in America. But they took
once they got their foothold, like I got
my foothold, then you go global. You can't
go global until you get a foothold.
Did you get your foothold through the streets?
Yeah, I got my foothold through the streets.
So once you get your foothold through the streets, then you had
the potential to take any of those brands global
because you're deafening. Yeah,
but I didn't have the distribution or the money.
If we had
a sustainable economy
among people of color,
black people, that can support
a luxury brand, I wouldn't
have to be here. I think the problem is
I think we make hot
and we like what other people
can't have, right? So it's like that's why
a lot of us buy Gucci, buy Louis Vuitton, buy Chanel, buy those things because it's like that's why a lot of us buy Gucci,
buy Louis Vuitton, buy Chanel, buy those things
because it's things that's limited.
It's not too much of it.
But we do that with places where a lot of times
don't necessarily want to f*** with us.
You know, we go into these stores,
they still follow us around the stores.
But a lot of times we're the ones that's buying it
and making it hot.
Gucci, Louis, and all that, you are the one that,
you are the one that made it hot
And you know what
We had a garment bag
Where the world wanted to wear it
Where they took it
And Gucci recreated the outfit
That you did years ago
Exactly
You know what I mean
So he's saying like
Why don't we create our own brands
Where we don't have to ask
Louis for anything
I'm saying we could have made
Any black brand just as powerful
As we made it.
You know what? So if we start
out right now, start from the bottom
like you're telling these young people to start from the bottom
and build your brand, by that time hip-hop
done morphed into
another cultural brand.
We got Asians that do hip-hop
and do breakdances like us.
So once our culture, because of
cultural inertia, once it circles the planet, we only get a certain amount of time.
And it's speeding up.
Social media is speeding it up.
So our base is our culture.
And if we don't get a chance to take advantage of our culture right away, then we have to wait until the next cultural revolution.
You're sitting right up in here.
I saw this before it was happening.
This ain't going to go on forever.
You're going to have to transform into the next stage.
And while you transform it, and these other guys are starting from the bottom.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Okay, look.
Look at the brands.
When the black brands came out, they didn't have the knowledge that they needed to grow.
But hip-hop did.
So hip-hop kept growing and they
stood still and died. We can't
have that happen again. So
how do we keep that from happening again?
Y'all had to get, everybody in
music had to get with a major distributor.
What's the difference?
What's the difference between a musical
major distributor and somebody over
here getting a clothing
distributor until we popped?
They made billions and gave clothing distributor until we popped.
You're right.
They made billions and gave us scraps.
Until we figured it out and then created our own lanes.
And that's what we're doing again.
But I think the difference is. And that's exactly the point.
We got to step in and figure it out.
But you got in to figure it out.
I agree with you.
But I think the one fundamental difference will always be that we'll always look at the Gucci's, the Louis's, the Fendi's as more value than anything that a black designer creates.
Because we give it that.
We think white ice is cold.
We give it that.
People love Off-White now, and that's doing really well at a Pierre Moss.
And I think there's brands by black designers that are on the rise.
Yeah, but we still applauded Virgil Moore when he got with whatever company he worked with.
Louis Vuitton.
But he got that because of Off-White.
Yeah, but we still applaud that move more
than we applaud a black guy owning this brand Off-White.
What black guy owns a big brand?
He's the only one I know.
Do he own that?
Oh, I don't know.
We need to do our homework.
That's the kind of questions we need to ask.
We need to ask, do we own this?
Don't let me go into false bias.
We need to ask, do we own this? Let's talk about go into false bias. We need to ask, do we own this?
My brother, let's talk about it.
I'm going to let y'all do your own.
We need to know who owns what.
First of all, once we do the homework, then we can have intelligent conversations.
I don't want to call people out.
I want to switch gears a little bit.
You did get sued by several major designers, and this is way before the social media era.
How did they know you were doing what you were doing?
Because of the hip-hop artists, you know?
First the gangsters, then the hip-hop artists, you know?
Gangsters go to every major event.
People see them popping up.
Let me tell you a funny thing, right?
Monica, LL Cool J's stylist,
and she used to go get loans from clothes from down in Gucci, right?
And Monica went down to Gucci to get a loan from her
and everybody down in the Gucci store at this time,
way back in the early 90s, and they're asking.
They say people just keep coming in here asking for outfits
that they see rappers with that Dabba Dabba made
thinking that we got them.
So it spreads through that way, you know?
And that was considered counterfeiting.
That's how the shop got shut down?
I don't like the word counterfeiting.
I get that, but I'm saying using
their logo. Trademark infringement.
That's what it was. It was trademark infringement.
I don't consider that's what I do. I didn't do
knockoffs. Like I told you, I do knockoffs.
Alright, we got more with Dapper Dan when we come
back. You know he's a Harlem legend, so let's get into
a Harlem mini-mix. Dapper Dan is
here. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
That was a Harlem mini-mix. Dan is here. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Harlem mini
mix. Morning, everybody. It's DJ
MV, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.
We have OG Dapper Dan
in the building. How did Gucci reach out to you?
How did they finally reach out to you? Because, I mean, you know,
social media went crazy when they seen your design that they put out.
How did they reach out to you and say, hey, we're gonna work with you?
Good question. Let me tell you what I did, right?
Because you know I'm skeptical. I grew up in a generation
and we don't trust nobody.
When they first reached out to me, you know,
as a result of the coat,
you know the famous coat, right?
A number of
influential influences
was calling and stuff like that, right?
And my son
Jelani said, dad, you
really need to talk to them. I said, talk to them. He said, they serious, right? I said, okay, Jelani, said, Dad, you really need to talk to them.
I said, talk to them.
He said, they serious, right?
I said, okay, if they serious, tell them to come to our brownstone and home.
And they came.
And so now, what do I have to do now?
Now I have to find out, what is their mindset?
They were focused on cultural inclusivity even before this happened.
When people appropriate our culture,
they make mistakes.
My approach to them was like, you got to have us in the room. We got to be
a part of this so things like this, they don't happen.
When they reached out to me,
let me tell you what was the convincing thing.
It's two stories. The first story is
like, Alexandro,
the lead designer, the head designer
for Gucci, he said, listen, I didn't mean to copy you.
I was paying homage to you.
I just didn't say it in the beginning, but I thought everybody knew that if I did this here, they would know it was yours.
He said, I didn't pay homage to you.
But this is an interesting thing, and nobody's talking about it.
The same time, now, you got to look at how this is developing. When Supreme did the relationship with Louis Vuitton and they had the runway show,
they issued a letter for everybody who was at that show on the chair that they would have to sit in.
So they have to pick that letter up and say, this whole collection is inspired by Dapper Dan.
And nobody said nothing.
Really?
So Supreme came into existence to recreate what I was doing,
but just letting everybody know so they don't get in trouble.
Does that still make it legal?
Huh?
Just because they let everybody know, that makes it okay?
No, that don't make it okay.
Okay, okay.
You know, it just doesn't make it so the publications that deal with that kind of information,
it doesn't make news.
Okay.
Everybody knows.
You understand?
But when you do it and you don't, it doesn't make news. Okay. Everybody know. You know what I'm saying? It don't make news.
But when you do it and you don't say something,
that makes news.
So there's nothing financial
that you're getting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
There's nothing financial
that comes with that.
But to me, it's both the same.
Right.
You follow what I'm saying?
Because it's appropriation.
But now, here.
So Gucci comes and they says,
everybody's paying homage to Dapper Dan,
but nobody's paying him.
True.
We're going to change that.
We're going to allow you to do what you've always done in Harlem, and we're going to do a partnership on the line, on the Dapper Dan line, like the stuff he did in the 80s, and you get a percentage of that globally.
I could never get that.
Where could I get that at?
That's my foothold. Now, if you don't see me doing
something in the years ahead with my
grandson and my sons
and building, you can say Dabba Dabba was a deadbeat.
But this is it. I don't look
to get no credit for what's going
on now. Well, how do you feel now that you're
in the door, you're in the meeting with
the big wigs and making a difference and bringing
us in, and now
a lot of people, rappers in a lot of communities saying,
no,
we can't wear Gucci anymore.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'm glad you bring that up.
Oh,
wait a minute.
They're not saying that for no reason.
They're saying that because they feel like they're saying that because they
don't understand.
Well,
no,
they're saying that because they think Gucci created a product that is
blackface.
Yeah.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
Don't tell me there's any organization in the world that don't have a number of people who are not racist.
Right?
So forget that part.
Let's look at the part where what can we get out of this?
This would be the first boycott people of color, black people have ever had in America that we get zero results.
What did Gucci do to fix it?
Because, you know, we said we implemented a whole plan.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We have a change makers program. I wish everybody go online and just see what they
implement. But this is what we should be doing. Right. Look at the change maker program. See if
it's something you agree with. And if you agree with it, we're going to run with this and keep
running with it. And then, you know, we're going to do next. We're taking it to the rest of the
brands now, not 50 years from now. We take them to the rest of the brands. Now, not 50 years from now, we're taking it to the rest of the brands now.
I want to ask you a direct question about that.
You've been talking about it a little bit more,
but why do you think we value these high-end fashion designers
like the Gucci's and whoever else more than we do black, browns,
and what can we do to change that?
We got a bigger problem than that, man.
But I'll address that too.
What you say, what should we do to change that, presupposes that it needs to be changed.
When you say change, you mean the element of aspiration that makes us want to get expensive things?
Is that what you're talking about?
Or are you just saying walk away from these expensive brands?
What do you mean by that?
I'm not saying walk away.
I'm saying that it can be some Gucci shades that you're wearing right now on the table, and it could be some shades by a black designer that look the same, same quality, same material, same everything,
and the person will pick the Gucci, a black person.
Why is that?
How do we put the value on our stuff?
It's what I call the pimp program.
You know what I'm saying?
When you see a pimp, he all dressed up.
He's more attractive.
You know, people want what they can't get.
So you're saying black people are hoes?
No, I ain't saying black.
I'm saying the mentality associated with luxury, with aspiration,
has to do with things that people can't afford.
That's what I'm talking about.
So my question is how do we get that kind of value for the thing?
You got to make something compatible to that that gets the respect of that.
It takes time to
get the integrity and respect for a brand.
Do you think people would wear Dapper Dan
stuff if it wasn't
attached to any designer label? Like if you just had the
material? Absolutely. I agree.
Absolutely. And I
wish that I could go
global because it's not sustainable
for hair. Now let me ask you with a lot of the stuff that you design for Gucci because it's not sustainable for hair.
Now, let me ask you, with a lot of the stuff that you design for Gucci,
that you put out for Gucci,
a lot of that stuff was more expensive than regular Gucci.
When I seen a lot of that stuff,
I almost felt like it was outpriced for our people.
You go into a store and let's say a regular Gucci jacket is $2,500.
Yours was $6,000.
And you did see a lot of Asians wearing it.
And you did see a lot of people that wasn't us buying more of it, even though we
loved it and we wanted to support.
It was outpriced.
I don't want to knock my own self, but listen
to this, man. I want to sell to
them people with all that money, man.
You can have me. I take the train
every day, the bus every day,
stand on the corner every day. You got full
access to me, man. Let's get
this money. If I can bring all
that money back, all mine going in Harlem.
You want me to bring the price down
so we can afford it and we don't get that money?
What's the logical thing?
I just want us to put value on
our own. That's all. It's bigger than
what we see, man. And we got to
encourage people of color to study our culture. Study the trajectory. It's bigger than what we see, man. And we got to encourage people of color
to study our culture. Study
the trajectory. You know, because now
this hip-hop thing, man, I just saw
all jazz, Afro-Cuban
music, reggae music. I saw all
these platforms. Each platform, we get an opportunity.
If you don't get money
off that platform, then cultural inertia
takes place. Other people start dancing
like us, start acting like us,
and then that's it.
We don't become
influencers once they
start doing what we're
doing in their
environment.
You understand what
I'm saying?
No, we'll always be
the influencers.
They'll always copy us.
You don't, you don't,
they always gonna copy us.
We're always gonna be
the originators.
You bet.
Go back, I want you
to go online and look
at the Beatles documentary.
All the Beatles did was steal from black artists.
That's what I'm talking about. And they was more
successful with it. That's a different
conversation. You said that they're going
to end up being the influencers. That's impossible.
We're always going to be the influencers. They might make
more money than us. That's what I'm talking about.
What good is
it being an influencer if you ain't getting nothing?
If you ain't getting no money.
I agree with that
Gucci has done what it's supposed to do
and they have done some changes in their company
to make sure we should never have a problem
like the turtleneck thing that they've done before
no let me tell you something
don't take Dabba Dan's word for it
don't take nobody's word for it
please go online
look at the changes they're making
and if you're happy with the changes,
let the world know you're happy.
Do your own investigation.
That's what I did.
My reputation is on the line here.
And I saw they're hiring like a diversity and inclusion person too?
Yes, yes.
Well, make sure you pick up this book.
It's a great read, man.
And I just wanted to know,
is the end goal to have Dapper Dan be a brand on its own?
That's the end goal?
Yes, that's on the way.
We'll keep supporting you, brother.
And thank you for coming up here.
Drink some water, man.
You're breathing hard as hell.
Y'all got me all f***ed up.
They say, man, when you can look at the breakfast club, man,
they serve you more than breakfast up in there, man.
Make sure your game is right, boy.
They're going to f*** you up, boy.
Breakfast, you might be regretful.
They might put you on the plate.
You might end up on the plate, boy.
It's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
Good.
Just don't be a donkey.
Because right now you want some real donkey shit.
It's time for donkey of the day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel.
Did she get donkey in the name, please, Debbie?
Absolutely.
I have become Donkey of the Day.
At the Breakfast Club, bitches.
You're a donkey.
Yeah, it's Donkey of the Day.
It goes to a group of middle school students in Ohio, okay?
The school is called Hyatt Middle School.
It's located in Powell.
I think I pronounced that right, Powell.
Of course, no names have been released
In regards to this situation
Because these middle school kids are just that, kids
And let the record show
I was a badass little kid around 7th or 8th grade
Is when I really started being disruptive
Most of my disruptions came in the form of pranks
I was all about the joke, I wanted to laugh
I would get that laugh regardless of who I had to embarrass
To get it
Now my teachers used to be on the receiving end
Of a lot of this disruptive energy I was giving out.
Oh, we used to terrorize teachers.
I want to tell you some stories, but y'all so sensitive nowadays,
y'all might try to get me punished for things I did in seventh and eighth grade, okay?
That's why I write books, though, and you can go get my New York Times bestseller,
Black Privilege, to read all about my old wild out days.
Now, I will say, I'll tell you one, and you know, I have seen bodily
secretions used as props in a
prank, okay? I have a cousin who once told a teacher
you have something on your nose.
The teacher said, what? And
he said, it's right there. And she said, where?
And he, with
defecation on his finger, proceeded to say, right
there, and smear a little poop pate
under her nose where her mustache would be.
That looked disgusting, bro. Listen, in 7th grade, I thought
that was hilarious. At 40, I do think it's
disgusting. I often ask myself, what the
hell was wrong with us? And I'm bringing that up because
when I saw this story this morning in the New York Post,
I had to think in 7th or 8th grade,
would I have done something like this?
The answer for me would be no.
Would my friends or family have done something like this?
Well, I just told you what he did with a little diaper gravy
to a teacher.
So it's possible.
But I want you all to think back to seventh or eighth grade.
Put yourself in this mindset and ask yourself,
what you have done with these kids at a high-end middle school in Ohio allegedly did.
Let's go to WBNSCBS10 for the report, please.
A disturbing allegation against middle school students. Tonight, an investigation is underway into whether they put bodily fluids on food fed to their teachers.
The alleged assaults happened Thursday
in a global gourmet class at Hyatt's Middle School.
Olentangy School says it was during a student cooking competition
that students allegedly contaminated food they were serving to teachers
who were judging the contest.
More specifically, students are alleged to have put urine and or semen onto crepes fed to teachers.
According to information received by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office,
a video of some portion of the acts was circulating Thursday.
School administrators learned of the alleged act and contacted police.
Tonight, the Sheriff's Office is actively investigating but has not yet filed
charges. The charge that could
apply is felony assault
because it was committed at school and
against a teacher. That's right.
You heard correctly. These kids
put a little two-ball throat cream into some crepes.
First of all,
I wouldn't have done this in middle school
because I didn't ejaculate until at least 10th grade.
I didn't have sex or masturbate until high school so I wouldn't have known how to produce that because I didn't ejaculate until at least 10th grade. All right. And I didn't have sex and masturbate until high school.
So I wouldn't have known how to produce that man shot or on command if I tried.
All right.
Number one, kids, if you did this, why would you record it?
All right.
Nobody, nobody would have known it was any nut butter in the crepes if you didn't record it.
Now, the authorities are working with school officials and conducting lab tests to see if it was indeed the cream of some young guy in the crepes.
All right.
OK, I have nothing else to say about this donkey of the day.
OK, because donkey of the day is all about giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid.
And I think we can all agree putting a little penis pudding in the teacher's crepes is indeed stupid.
All right.
Please give these kids at Hyatt's Middle School the biggest hee-haw.
Also, keep in mind the lawyer for one of the students said to use caution before reaching any conclusions.
That's disgusting.
And I agree with that.
All right. This could be a misunderstanding or there might be a lotion called caution.
And reaching a conclusion is slang for letting off that pecker snot.
All right.
You guys are disgusting, bro. Reaching a conclusion is slang for letting off that pecker snot. All right? You kids.
You guys are disgusting, bro.
Listen, them kids in Ohio better be lucky they're not in Alabama.
All right?
Fooling around to go to jail for dumping all those babies down the drain.
All right?
Okay?
So you would put your finger in your poop to put it on your teacher?
Never mind.
All right.
Well, you should spit on a toilet paper and wipe your butt.
Yes, you should do. And according to Dr. Oz, those crepes are perfectly fine
because the bacteria from cooking the crepes,
the heat kills all the bacteria in the semen.
Oh, my gosh.
That's according to Dr. Oz.
Keep it locked.

Good morning. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking
about Jay-Z. He partnered up with the NFL
and some people are upset about that.
Now, let's talk about it. Now, we have some
audio, Yee? Yes, here is
Jay-Z speaking at the press conference about
why he did the deal and
how it's not enough just to kneel. Let's
move past that. I think we've
passed kneeling. I think it's time to go into actionable items. I think everyone
knows what the issue is. And I'm not, again, so to be clear, I'm not minimizing that part of it
because that has to happen. That's a necessary part of the process. But now we all know what's
going on. What are we going to do? How are we going to stop?
Because the kneeling was not about a job.
It was about injustice.
Let me bring attention to injustice.
Everyone's saying, how are you going forward?
And Cap doesn't have a job.
This wasn't about him having a job.
You know, I just want to say, let's be clear.
You know, as Jay-Z said, Colin Kaepernick's protests absolutely worked.
They raised awareness to an issue.
And because of that awareness, millions of private citizens across America
as well as corporations, they've taken action.
And in order to be successful and sustain
any process of meaningful change,
both awareness and action
are necessary. So with that said, I don't
understand why anyone is upset with the action
Jay-Z is taking. If you're a black man
that plays in the NFL, wants to play in the NFL,
you make a living off the NFL, you should be
happy you have someone in the NFL that is to play in the NFL, you make a living off the NFL, you should be happy you have someone in the NFL
that is from your culture and understands your interest
in that league, making sure that NFL teams in the league
continue to support the programs that are helping
our community, period. And that's the sentiment I got
from so many people that are actually playing in the league now.
Right, and I can't judge anybody
nor can I say what they're doing, but
if people hate the league so much,
why play for that league?
If I didn't like this job, I just wouldn't work for this job.
That's how I feel.
And, you know, people say, well, you know, look at Kaepernick.
Kaepernick still hasn't said anything that I'm knowledgeable of.
And then Kaepernick did a deal with Nike.
And I'm happy for his deal with Nike.
But Nike still has relationships with the league.
Nike sponsors the NFL.
Nike still sponsors the NFL.
So what's the difference?
Like, you know, what's the difference?
I just know what Jay-Z has done for our community, whether it's been giving back, it's been bailing people out, it's been really pushing the culture forward.
So for him to do a partnership, I can't say, you know what, he's doing it for the wrong reasons.
The man is filthy rich, so he's not doing it for the money.
He's not doing it because he wants to perform at the Super Bowl.
He's not doing it for those things.
So what is he doing it for?
My opinion is because he wants to be in those meetings.
He wants to be at the table.
He has a seat at the table.
That's what I think.
Well, Jemele Hill wrote this article,
Jay-Z helped the NFL banish Colin Kaepernick for the Atlantic.
And she also says in this article,
I don't question Jay-Z's commitment to social justice
or his desire to empower African Americans.
She talks about him using his platform to have those conversations
and producing that Trayvon Martin series
and also the miniseries on Kalief Browder and all of that.
She said, I don't believe Jay-Z is a sellout
because his track record proves otherwise,
but it does seem like he's being used as a cover or at best a buffer.
I don't understand how we can run down Hov's resume of his activism
and him helping people.
How could we do all that but then think he would allow himself to be used?
Like if you think Hov is a token,
then you simply think White Ice is cold, though, because
I was at that press conference. What I saw
was the NFL partnering with a powerful
black man. Like, we talk about a seat at the table.
They had that meeting in Roc Nation.
Hov's house. You know what I'm saying?
Sitting at one of his tables in his boardroom.
That's where that white man Roger Goodell was at.
So we gotta start recognizing our own power to create
change, man. All those hashtags and stuff is great.
It raises awareness.
But you got to be about that action.
And I want to say I love Colin Kaepernick.
And I would love to see Colin back in the league.
But I also like real change and not just symbols of change.
And I don't understand why anyone would think Jay is doing this for any other reason other than he thinks he can make a real change.
Well, Colin Kaepernick's longtime girlfriend, Nessa, said, I don't mind you doing a business deal,
but I do mind you wrapping it in social justice
when you're working with an organization
that denies someone an opportunity.
I'm going to start calling Ness a Nas nitty,
because Ness is coming like Nas in 2002
with the eat the sheep putting on ho.
But listen, the deal may work, it may not work,
but either way, he tried.
And I don't understand why black people
would root against that,
because if it's not this, what's the plan?
Like, we all don't have to have the same course of action.
We just need to have the same goal.
So once again, if not this, what's the plan?
The only question I had was, I'm not even sure
because I wasn't at the press conference.
Jay said he spoke to Colin Kaepernick
and then Nessa said that wasn't true,
that he did not speak, that they didn't have a conversation.
He spoke to Colin earlier this week before the press release came out. Okay. And then Nessa said that wasn't true, that he did not speak, that they didn't have a conversation.
He spoke to Colin earlier this week before the press release came out.
Okay.
So they had a conversation about what he was about to do.
Did he tell him? No, he didn't have conversations with him about the deal that he structured prior.
But he called him this week to let him know, like, hey, this is the announcement that's about to be made.
This is what I'm doing.
Okay.
And I don't see the problem.
Like, Roc Nation and Impact Change are focusing on education and economic advancement.
Police and community relations.
Criminal justice reform.
They make a show of organizations that support those causes.
Get that money.
What is the problem, people?
All right.
I don't understand.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Hi.
Sorry I had to take y'all off mute.
My name's Jessie.
Hey, Jessie.
What did you think about Jay-Z partnering up with the NFL?
I think that it's a positive change.
The only negative feedback I've seen from white people
was from Tommy Loren.
And I feel like for all the black people
who feel like this is a negative thing,
it really doesn't take much to divide us.
And real change comes from within.
And if you want to see more diverse faces and more black people in these positions of power,
then you have to allow them to do it the way that they can do it so they can make real change.
You're absolutely right.
She just brought up a good point.
We're not looking at the other side.
All those conservatives that watch the NFL,
they so mad about this deal.
Tommy Lauren was like,
oh, NFL doing a deal with a drug dealer.
Right.
Like, you ain't looking at the other side of the game.
The other side of the game isn't happy about this.
Well, 805-85-1051, we're asking,
what are your thoughts with Jay-Z partnering up with the NFL?
And it's just funny to me.
People are so upset.
But you watch NFL every weekend.
I don't think that people are questioning Jay-Z's
commitment to the community.
What people are questioning is what the motives
of the NFL were in doing this partnership.
And that's why we all have to
collectively, if we want to have
a real protest, the protest
should be, hey, let's not watch
the NFL until they give Colin Kaepernick a job.
Let's have the protest specifically about that.
They blackballed Colin Kaepernick.
So if you want to do something, how about boycott the NFL,
protest the NFL because they didn't give that man a job.
But then let me ask you a question.
What part of it do you boycott?
Because it's not the NFL that's saying that's not giving him a job.
It's each particular team.
It's the owners.
The owners of each particular team that are not hiring him.
So who do you boycott against?
Because, you know, Roger Goodell said he could sign whoever team he wants to.
Roger Goodell did say that in the press conference.
But the NFL, y'all not slick.
Y'all put out that video at a press conference and cut out all my questions to Roger Goodell and his answers.
Okay, but we got the audio.
That's because your tail be wagging, your p***y be popping.
My p***y be popping and I be giggling.
That's why.
800-585-1051 is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Jay-Z's partnership with the NFL.
People are upset about this.
People are mad.
They don't understand what's going on.
So, we're just taking your phone calls and just asking your thoughts.
We have Marcus on line three. Marcus, good morning.
Yo, what's up, man?
Peace, King.
What's up, bro?
I don't like the Jay-Z move
just because of the picture that was painted.
I don't want to see him sitting there with Roger Goodell.
Roger Goodell is his hired help. I want to see
him sitting with the owners that said,
if you kneel, you won't play for my team ever again.
The owners that said, we can't have the inmates running the asylum.
Well, he died.
The owner that said that died.
That was the owner of the Houston Texans.
He's dead.
Yeah, he died.
But you know that thought, most of those owners have that same thought.
Well, Hovstead's with Robert Kraft all the time.
You know, Robert Kraft was on Hov's board for the reform initiative.
Robert Kraft is the cloud chaser.
You know that.
You see that.
You saw him dance to Bacardi on stage?
I was there, actually.
If the real issue was the owners could sit there and say, you know what?
Now we'll listen.
We'll do something great.
But him sitting with Roger Goodell, Roger Goodell is just high as hell.
All right.
Thank you, brother.
Olivia.
Good morning, Olivia. Good morning. How you, brother. Olivia, good morning, Olivia.
Good morning.
How you doing this morning?
I'm good. How are y'all?
I'm good, Olivia.
Hey.
Hey.
Now we're talking about Jay-Z partnering up with the NFL.
What do you think?
Okay.
I think that regardless if he's right or wrong,
which in my first gut reaction, I thought he was wrong,
but the optics are just bad.
Like, you can't go sit up in a room full of white people and be like, we're past kneeling,
because there's nothing that the NFL can do besides spread awareness as well.
Hold on, we got to talk optics for a second.
That room was at Roc Nation.
It wasn't a bunch of white people.
It was in Roc Nation's boardroom, and really the only white person in there was like Roger Goodell.
And like three or four of the reporters was white.
So what are we talking about?
It looked like it was a bunch of white people.
Perception is reality.
And he's laughing with them.
And he's laughing with them talking about, do you know why we kneel?
Do you know why we kneel?
Do you know why we kneel?
The problem wasn't knowing.
The problem was doing something about it.
That's what the whole time I
I'm just saying. I don't feel like the NFL
can do anything about it either.
I will say this.
Besides spread awareness. But that's
the point. Colin Kaepernick raised awareness
and what Jay-Z said was the kneeling
worked. The protest worked. He
raised awareness. Now it's time
for action and you have to have
action. You have to
have awareness and action in order to sustain
any meaningful change. Did he talk about
any specific actions that they're going to do? Like
this is what we're doing now. We're implementing
this. We have this happening.
Yes, they're focusing on education
and economic advancement, police and community
relations, criminal justice reform, and they're making
sure those organizations that support
those type of causes get that money.
So they say we're organizations and everything
and they talk specifically or just this
isn't general? It can be any organization. The players get to
pick what organizations
the money goes to. Somebody in the room asked him
would Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights camp get some of his money
and he was like, of course. Tyler?
Hey, good morning, Breakfast Club.
Good morning. What are your thoughts, bro?
Long time listener, first time caller.
Thank you.
My thoughts, no problem.
My thoughts is basically everything Jay-Z does is a chess move,
so I don't understand why people feel like he would go against the culture.
I don't understand that either.
That's mind-boggling to me.
Like, I want to know who has cachet in the culture.
Like, who?
Because it seems like nobody has any type of cachet.
But, you know, it's a bold move
and I think you had to anticipate that some
people were going to have an issue with it as I'm sure he
anticipated. So now it's time to show
and prove. So I'm sure you make an announcement like that
No one sees any
No one sees any actions yet and I don't
think people question the fact that Jay-Z's done great
things but now everybody's
watching to see what's going to happen next and I think
making this press conference and making this announcement was definitely going to get you some backlash and I
feel like I'm sure he anticipated that yeah and but listen I have no problem with people trying
to change things from within I have no problems with engages or resistance I just think everybody
needs to breathe and give things a second and let's see what happens and once again I love
Colin Kaepernick and I would love to see Colin back in the league. But I also like real change and not just symbols of change.
And I don't understand why anyone would think Jay is doing this for any reason other than he thinks he can make a real change.
It may work.
It may not work.
But either way, he tried.
And I don't understand why black people would root against this.
Because if it's not this, what's the plan?
Well, let's take some more phone calls.
Phone lines are lit up.
800-585-1051.
We'll take some more calls when we come back.
We're talking about Jay-Z, his partnership with the NFL.
How does it make you feel?
What are your thoughts?
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Jay-Z, his partnership with the NFL.
What are your thoughts?
All right, that's what we're asking.
We just opened up the phone lines.
Now, if you missed it, we have some audio of Jay-Z talking about his partnership.
Let's hear it.
I think we've passed kneeling.
I think it's time to go into our actionable items.
I think everyone knows what the issue is.
And I'm not, again, so to be clear, I'm not minimizing that part of it because that has to happen.
That's a necessary part of the process.
But now we all know what's going on.
What are we going to do?
How are we going to stop?
Because the kneeling was not about a job.
It was about injustice.
Let me bring attention to injustice.
Everyone's saying, how are you going forward?
And Cap doesn't have a job.
This wasn't about him having a job.
Now, everybody wasn't too
pleased with this partnership. Jemele Hill
actually did a write-up on it.
What did she say, Yee? Jemele Hill did
a whole article for The Atlantic,
and she talks about, it's called,
Jay-Z helped the NFL banish Colin Kaepernick.
I don't agree with that either.
And she said, I assume neither Goodell nor Jay-Z
expected to be on the defensive once the NFL
announced it would give Roc Nation
significant power in choosing the performers
for the league's signature events
but she goes on to talk about how he was
one of the people that advised Travis Scott
not to perform at the Super Bowl
and she said she talks about why
he said he did that because he would be
playing second fiddle to Maroon 5 it had nothing to do
with Colin Kaepernick he said also she said she because he would be playing second fiddle to Maroon 5. It had nothing to do with Colin Kaepernick, he said.
Also, she said she feels like this is the NFL strategy to absolve itself of what happened to Colin Kaepernick
and throw enough money at social justice causes so players will no longer feel the need to protest.
All right, so we're just asking, taking their calls.
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Professor Kenny.
How y'all doing this morning?
What's up, Professor Kenny? How's it going this morning, brother?
You a real professor? I'm doing well.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I'm a professor at CCBC.
I used to work at Bowie State University.
So I'm out of Maryland. Respect to you.
I appreciate it. So I wanted to call
because we got to realize that
protest is for mobilization. It's a
vehicle, right? So we have
to realize that the vehicle
is to get us to the next stage.
Yes. And everybody has to
know their position as far as their
front. So if you're a marcher,
you're marching. If you're on the ground,
we love you for that. We need you.
But if you're in the boardroom, we need you too.
And that's what Jay's doing. He's our seat
at the table. We got to take advantage of that.
And it's crazy that you're a professor and they listen
to you when you say that. But if I say that, then they're like,
man, Charlamagne, shut your lish tongue ass up.
You know what I'm saying? Because you're absolutely right.
The protest worked. It raised awareness
to an issue. And because of that awareness,
millions of private citizens across
America have taken action. We've
mobilized. And in order to be successful
and sustain any process of
meaningful change, both awareness and
action are necessary.
Let's go to one more caller.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning.
Hey, good morning.
What's your name?
Oh, this is Marcia.
Hey, Marcia.
Oh, I'm so excited.
But listen, Charlamagne.
Yes, baby.
You were instrumental in saying the same thing that JC is repeating
about saying that Kaepernick doesn't have a job,
Charlamagne, I love you.
But sometimes you must also understand
when before you speak,
at least let our people,
because then you people,
you're so instrumental and influential,
I should say,
that people hang on to your every word
and start repeating these things.
So yes, Charlamagne, you started that, in my opinion.
I heard you say that.
I started what?
I don't even know.
Where did I start?
Oh, you had said that Kaepernick did not have a job.
You had made a statement.
I think it was Monday or Tuesday.
Yeah, he's blackballed from the NFL.
Hold on, mama.
Hold on, mama.
Hold on, mama.
She's a little all over the place.
Hello, who's this? Let's talk to her.
What's your name?
Oh, yeah, my name's Tariq.
What's up, Tariq?
We're asking you questions on Jay-Z partnering up with the NFL.
I feel a hot take coming.
Yeah, man, I think, honestly, man, I feel like it's a good move on Jay-Z.
I agree 100%.
He right.
You know, we've been doing this kneeling thing for what, two years
now? It's like, alright, so now
what? What's the next move?
And Jay-Z put himself in the position of power.
You can't have change without power.
And nobody wants to
acknowledge that. Look what he did with hip-hop.
So I definitely
don't think Jay-Z got involved in this for the wrong
reasons. I feel like he's going to bring change
and he's in the meetings now.
He's at the table now, and now he can bring change.
So I'm anxious to sit back and see what he's going to do.
And if there's anybody that knows how to move in a room full of vultures,
it's Hov.
Absolutely.
NFL Shady, it needs to be taken over.
All right.
Well, what's the moral of the story?
I mean, the moral of the story for me, man, is that, you know,
I just think everybody needs to, you know, give it a beat,
take a moment,
breathe, and I would say also the protests were never about
Cap not having a job. They were about police
brutality and social justice. If we need to start
a protest to get Cap back in the
league, then we possibly should do that.
But the original protest to raise awareness to
social injustice that Cap started,
that worked. And that's an issue close
to a lot of players' hearts started by Kaepernick
and now the league wants to do something about it and
Hov is assisting in that. I don't see the problem.
Alright, well, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's The Breakfast Club. I'm Angela Yee. That's Charlamagne.
Yo. Over there and we have
two special guests and they're very special to me.
Naomi Cowan and Debbie Magnum are here
with us this morning.
Wagwan brethren.
You know what? Naomi Cowan and Debbie Magnum are here with us this morning. Wagwan brethren. Wagwan. Hey.
You know what?
And you guys are both performing at Angela Yee Day.
And I'm so excited about it because the women are representing.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
And you guys, your styles are both so different.
So I love that because it is like, and that's how it should be, though.
Like, you guys are super different and we're going to get more into that.
What's so different about them?
Well, probably the content of them.
Hey, you're a married man.
But I think we need that.
We need, you know, of course we need that diversity.
Thank you for making the old man feel good, though.
Exactly.
So you nasty?
Yeah, baby.
What they be?
Why are you so nasty?
No, because them summer raw like meat.
Huh?
Them summer raw like meat.
She's raw like meat.
Oh, raw like meat. Got you, got you, got you. Yes, yes, yes. Okay. No, she use condoms, meat. She's raw like meat. Oh, raw like meat.
Got you, got you, got you.
Okay.
Now, she use condoms, though.
She say it.
Sometime, but beer back.
No condom in me.
Sometime.
Man, that's why I got married.
To have guilt-free, unprotected sex.
There you go.
That's right.
Now, Naomi's still a virgin, just so y'all know.
Oh, my God.
No, Naomi, because I hear that you have the juju.
Wow.
Do you know what that means? To have the juju. To have the juju? Yeah, juju. Oh, no, because I hear that you have the juju. Wow. Do you know what that means?
I have the juju.
They have the juju?
Yeah, juju.
Oh no, that's voodoo.
Juju pussy.
That's good pussy?
Yeah, that's like voodoo.
No, no, baby.
Like root.
Juju.
Juju is that gummy,
that you understand inside.
You know what jujubes are?
No.
It's like a Canadian chewy gum.
Like jujubes.
It's sweet, right?
It's supposed to be like a little pink on the inside.
So you see, all my artists, I talk to the jujubes.
So you see, you got a d*** and the head jumps sometimes, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
That's that jujube d***.
So me, when I talk and when I sing, I please this.
So when you hear my voice on a track, ooh, you know?
So you turn yourself on? Yeah, that's why sometimes I do this. She's got to shift right on a track, ooh, you know? So you turn yourself on? Yeah,
that's why sometimes I do. She's got to shift
right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes, you know what I mean? It's just me
and then my whole song, like I said, the voice.
So you just start
jump out of nowhere, start jump
nowhere. You know what I mean? I wonder what's going
on. It's me. So what you do when you jump?
Eh? What do you do when you jump?
I don't know what time it is
just me you know me just look me find a girl baby father because you know i mean you say you just
find a girl or somebody baby father yeah i'm like people man i love people man yeah yeah people might
do something to me what movement well taking people man why would you want to take somebody
man but you don't do that to your friends just no man we don't take a friend so these are the
girl code most of the man men out there are like me.
They got a child.
You know, a child's father.
I like kids' dads.
I like kids' dads.
And then if he act up, I just get another child's father.
But then, okay, so let me ask you.
Just know, let me ask you like sister to sister.
When you text somebody, man,
is it because you have less responsibility?
In terms of the investment of the relationship and developing?
That's what I really, I don't want that.
That's what I don't want, but I always wonder,
and I'm so happy we're here today.
Everybody different.
Conversation is boring.
Yes, to me, you know, Angela, people might turn me on.
But what turns you on about it?
People might turn me on.
Maybe because she doesn't want to be in a serious relationship.
I'm serious about them relationships.
I'm a ton of them relationships.
So you don't mind being the other woman is what you're saying?
It's not about mind.
I just try to tell people, turn me on.
Why though? Why specifically?
Were you that kid in school where you wanted the person's pen?
Because I know just some more.
Just an adrenaline rush on me.
You understand? Just an adrenaline rush on me. I f*** a girl, man. You understand? Oh, my God. Just an adrenaline rush.
So you're like honest men?
Yeah.
You have to tell me if you have a girl or two.
What if he says I want to leave her for you?
No, I'm not bothered with that, sir.
We're not depending on that.
You're going to fix your life right there, sir.
Naomi, what do you think about this?
She's disgusting.
I'm not listening.
Naomi is disgusting.
Naomi is fish she's judging
you're gonna lose
yeah absolutely
I'm completely different
in terms of my mindset
I'm just intrigued by
what it is
cause okay
I kinda think deeper
cause you just said
she gets an adrenaline rush
when you're with somebody's man
so in my head
I'm like yo
what was she like as a child
was she that kid
who wanted a pencil
from that person's pencil case just cause it was theirs cause it was somebody else's you know what I'm like, yo, what was she like as a child? Was she that kid who wanted a pencil from that person's pencil case?
Just because it was theirs. Because it was somebody else's, you know what I'm saying?
No, not like that.
We all had cousins like that. They want
your toys. Yeah, but you have the same
exact Barbie dog. What is going on?
So I'm just curious
as to, because for me, I know
I'm not interested in that because
maybe I just like, I want long term, ray ray ray.
So in my head, I'm like, I don't want somebody who's going to openly cheat because he's going to do the same exact thing to me.
I never say I cheat.
What do you mean?
He has his girl, right?
Yes.
His woman.
Check.
Then boom, you like me and I decide to give you my Jojo party.
Check.
It becomes me and you together.
No.
So that's not cheating?
Wait, but that is not how this work.
Listen to me.
You're a cheat and you're doing things for a she, not me. You're a f***ing ex-girl for me. together no that's not cheating wait but that is not how it works listen i mean yeah you might cheat
and i do anything for a sheena me you can't connect girl for me you know what i'm talking about
you think that if i got a girl and i you i ain't gonna nobody else if you're ever going to
boy i'm a buck yeah no but but i'm saying you cannot expect otherwise because he literally
would repeat the same but you're not understanding when understanding. When I take y'all, man, I put them on the man as this.
The juju is just a rock.
Oh, so she's going to discipline.
You're going to discipline him.
Yeah, man.
F*** the discipline, boy.
You think that f*** is good, huh?
Me not ask.
Can we have a call in line?
Because I feel...
I need somebody to tweet me right now
and tell me if she really got the juju.
No, because honestly,
I feel as though
p***s are patterns.
Tell Wax to come here, man.
I got a mission for him.
I'm hearing a lot of big talk.
When you f*** on me, my f***
is different because my f*** is better than
the f*** you put on me.
At the end of the day, I'm reaching up here
but I just know myself, keep my f*** clean,
keep it nice. And Juju... Wax, I need you
to take one for the team because we got somebody in here
bragging about her f***ing soul not your type is he what you mean what's it mean i like him i'm quiet

and you f*** her,
you can't f*** nobody else.
Listen to what I mean, baby.

This f*** is different, you know, baby, because remember, you like me.
You see what you like.
Yeah.
Now I'm going to give you the good f***, the good juju and everything.
All right.
You're not going to have no space and time to f*** on me because guess what?
You have she home, yeah, but you have me and you're going to want me even more.
I hear that.
And then he got all his kids

is bigger than enough, boy.
That's why I'm here.
I just want y'all to...
And I don't be asking nobody
about their sex life,
but I just want him
to tell me how it is
because you've been here
talking big s***.
I'm going to take off my glasses
and I'm going to look right
in my eye, right?
I got your back.
What's up?
All you got to do
is look at her Instagram and you go... I ain't got to do all glasses and look right in my eye. I got your back. What's up? All you got to do is look at her Instagram.
I ain't got to do all that.
You got them crazy eyes.
You done cut somebody before.
I'm going to go behind your neck.
What did you say?
I'm going to get in trouble.
I'm out of here.
No.
But listen though.
But for real though.
What's up?
The fact that you have a woman in your house or whatever the case is.
You see me, I say you like me.
Whatever I'm doing to you or whatever is supposed to please please you not to go like an ex-girl not saying
that but then but then is the reason why a man is a man cheating only because of what you can do in
the bed no because my own tears and i do other things boy yeah no no what i'm saying is that
i think i mean you can probably comment but i would just think that it is more than what happens
in the bedroom
that would either keep him or cause him to go away.
Yeah, come here, street girl.
At the end of the day, you have enough man of the woman in the house,
and them don't have no acknowledgement in the street to even get him.
Well, let's hear about his acknowledgement.
Ask him if he got a girl.
You see me have a girl, boo?
I have no idea.
Yo.
What?
What do you mean?
I don't know.
What?
I mean, people would leave, but I don't even know. Ask him a question, he gave you an answer. What do you mean? I don't know. What? I mean, people with me, but I don't even know.
What do you mean?
Ask him a question, he gave you an answer.
What do you mean people with you?
So you're not claiming none of that?
I'm not married.
I got a bunch of people on layaway, but I'm not married.
Jesus, layaway?
Yeah, they on layaway.
What does that mean?
So none of the past see you like right away?
