Yup, and now we got DJ Head on the line. Come on, Head, say West Coast. West Coast. You already know what it is, Envy. Let me tell you about DJ Head. Me and Head was together on Saturday night. We was at dinner. I'm fishing, trying to see what's going on with this Kendrick show. Now, once did he tell me he was opening up the Kendrick show. Now, once did he say, I will be on that stage. I got a whole set. He ain't say nothing.

Boy, them West Coast guys stick together, and they sneaky. They sneaky. Well, you know, according to certain people, you the leak over there with other stars. Charlamagne the leak? Hey, y'all.

I'm joking. Yeah, we know you're joking. You know, Charlamagne, he hate light-skinned people. So, Ed, break down the show. Yeah, we know you're joking. You know Charlamagne don't goddamn. He hate light-skinned people. So, Ed, break down the show last night. I know you were there. We heard the energy.

We seen it online. Break down the show and everything, how everything came together, if you can. Hey, man, listen. I got the call on the bad line, and it was like pull up and top secret. So, that is true. I did go to dinner with Charlamagne. We did have a great two day conversation. And I didn't mention none of this because I couldn't. It wasn't my place to.

But it was a beautiful show. You know, a couple of people that they were questioning as far as where these people are. These people are on the road. But that whole point for doing this is to unify everybody and get everybody together from the Southern California perspective and all the way up to the top. That's coming. But right now, you've seen what you saw. Right. What did that mean for L.A., Head?

Like, what did that mean last night? That picture that all of y'all took at the end, what's the significance of that? Well, the thing is is our politics is a lot different than anywhere else in the country so when you see certain things like that that's not normal when you see certain clicks crew sections certain people a collection of people especially people that that were on my set you know a lot of people from different sections that don't necessarily collaborate with other sections so for us to be able to do that shout out to all of the homies and the home girls for you know for holding it down

when we're having rehearsals i just kind of huddled everybody up it was like look bro i know where y'all from i know where you from but the next 10 days the next week we doing this like we all in the same gang and so everybody got on one accord, and it was beautiful. Well, hold on. Let's talk to DJ Head some more when we come back. 800-585-1051, DJ Head. Of course, he was one of Kendrick Lamar's friends performing on that stage last night. He opened it up.

Well, Head had his own set. Yeah, he had his own set. He put out some different artists. Now, I got to ask, Head, was performing not like us six times part of it or was it just a feeling because it just felt like it was just such a an amazing feeling like he just had to do it over and over and over again i didn't know i didn't now here's the thing i knew about my set i only knew about a couple things on his set but a lot of stuff we didn't know like it was kind

of compartmentalized i had a lot to worry about from I said it was a lot wrangle everybody you know be a contributor so I didn't really pay attention to what he was doing for his rehearsals and his sets stuff like that so I it wasn't surprised to me and I think it was off pure energy honestly man you had me googling a bunch of artists last night had I told you this I was a goodling people because there's a lot of these people that you brought out I had never heard of, but they had some slaps. Hey, slappers, blabbers, and blambers.

That's all we're doing. Joints and jams. For the rest of 2024, that's what you're going to get from the West. Slappers, blabbers, blambers, joints, and jams. Envy, I need that in the People's Choice Mix. I like Ray Vaughn, and I like all them dudes that was flamed up.

What's their code? You talking about the homie Jay Worthy and the Woops, they called me the Woops. Jay Worthy and the Woops, yes sir. Yeah, yeah. They are, you know, you had Zol, Simon do his thing, Kayla for real, for real, Chief Perico, there was a bunch of people on there that I'm sure like a lot of people wasn't familiar with and they was just learning in real time like you i was gonna ask you know with all those different artists from so many different hoods and so many different sets how do you keep the peace like that because you know you know how it is last night it's all peaceful and then tomorrow we go back to the block and things never change so how do we make sure that it it remains like that well i think you

have to lead by example. You know, Charlamagne always tells me the best apology is change behavior. So I think the best way we can do that for ourselves is change the behavior that we've seen in the past where we return to that negative energy. And so I think from now till for the foreseeable future, you're going to see a lot more collaborations. Even after the cameras went off, you know, the homies was in the parking lot like, yo, man, maybe we can do a feature. Maybe we can do this.

Like, oh, yeah, we never thought about collaborating before because this person is from the other side of the track. So it was just a beautiful thing to see. Well, hey, man, like I told you, man, the West deserved it. You know, y'all deserved that moment. And I'm glad that y'all put on for the city the way that Y'all deserved that moment, and I'm glad that y'all put on for the city the way that y'all did yesterday. I was even saying this weekend when I was out there, it felt

like that wasn't a concert for outsiders. It felt like we were supposed to watch it at home on Amazon. It felt so LA, so West Coast, so Englewood, so Compton, so Watts. Like, that moment was for y'all, and I'm glad the world got to see that, man. Absolutely.

Man, I am, too. I appreciate y'all supporting us, you know what I'm saying, West Coast. Now, Ed, I got to ask one last question. Now, we're seeing everything that went down. Like, we've seen it with Nas and Jay. We've seen it with 50 and Fat Joe. We've seen it with Beanie Siegel and Jadie Kiss back in the day. We've seen it with T.I. and a bunch of other people.

Do you think that Drake and... No. I'm not asking you. No. Do you think Drake and Kendrick could ever be cool and cordial again? Do you think that... We don't want that. I'm not talking to you.

You hate light-skinned people. I'm asking, hey... Only light-skinned people want that. Only the Bane Brigade wants that. We don't want that. I'm just asking. I'm'm just asking do you ever think that they could happen that they could be cool again that we don't want to be around you beige niggas no i didn't ask you hey let me okay i'm gonna answer that question if you can answer that question by asking you one is it possible for a country as negro Negro from month corner South Carolina with a lisp to talk for a living and be in the radio all the time?

That is possible. It's a slim chance, but it was possible. That's my answer. So it's possible. Okay. I hope not. I don't want to see them make peace. I didn't ask you.

That was one of the things that I was worried about last night, that Kendrick might have went to go see his therapist. Kendrick might have went to go see his spiritual advisor, and he might have came out there and chose peace. When he started with Euphoria, I was like, oh, yeah, Dot. This, yeah, yes. Well, yeah. I mean, this is him just, you know, staking his claim. I heard you say earlier, you know, undisputed, you know, taking this crown. I told him that, you know, before the show, we was talking, and I was like, bro, don't run away from it. Lean into it. Own it. This is your shit.

And he's like, yeah, I'm on it. All right. Well, thank you. One more thing, Ed. I heard you say it earlier, but you said Snoop was on tour. That's why he wasn't there? You didn't say his name. I don't know where Snoop is, but I know when I asked where certain people were,

they were like, oh, certain people's on the road. It wasn't Don who told me. It was just other people who was working. I was like, yo, where so-and-so? Like, oh, they on the road or they couldn't make it or whatever the case may be. I don't know what everybody got going on. All right. Got you.

Well, thank you, DJ Head. Peace, my brother. Peace. Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club. DJ Head. Peace, my brother. Peace.
