The Breakfast Club - Is Issa Rae Anti Black Men?

Episode Date: April 30, 2018

Monday 4/30 - Today on the show we learned that timing clearly doesn't mean anything because our girl Issa Rae was under fire after she suggested that educated black women should date Asian men in her 2015 book " The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl". So we opened up the phone lines to see what out listeners had to say about her past comments. Also, after Angela got a message about someone needing advice on how to handle a person with bad grammar on text, we opened up the phone lines to see what our listeners thought about people using bad grammar through text. Moreover, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to White House Correspondents' Association president, Maragaret Talev for being upset over comedian Michelle Wolf 's monaloague at the White House Correspondents dinner.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I don't know. We have no idea. Close to 90. Yeah, close to 90. God is good. God is good. I came online. I wasn't online all day yesterday, and I just logged into social media.

I'm looking at why Issa Rae is trending and I immediately looked away. Like, Jesus Christ. What happened? I haven't been online. It's literally nothing. Oh. This is when you know,

you know how they say if you want to hide something from a black person and put it in a book? Yes. Negroes really don't read. It's something from Issa Rae's book

that has been out, Issa Rae's book has been out for at least four years. She's even like, that book is old. Yeah, that book has been out for at least

four to five years and they're upset about something that's in the book. Like, come on, man. I got a statute of limitations on my outreach. I'm sorry. If something's been out

for four or five years, I'm not going backwards to be mad. That was actually, I think, one of the first books I did for my book club. Oh, okay. I have no idea what you're talking about. I've been detoxing.

My mind, my body haven't really been on social media like that and I love it. I really had a great weekend. I've been detoxing my mind, my body. I haven't really been on social media like that, and I love it. I really had a great weekend. It was just with the family. I just enjoyed the family, whether it was swimming class with my daughter and son, whether it was dance class with my daughter, gymnastics with the whole family. And then I tried to cook, and it didn't go too well a couple of times.

You tried to cook a couple of times. Well, you know what it was? You know, I'm eating healthy, so I tried to make butternut squash. And I cooked it, and I tried to put it in the little NutriBullet. But when it's too, too hot, boiling hot, it just explodes. You put boiling hot something in the NutriBullet? I sure did. Why did you put it in the NutriBullet?

Why cook it if you was going to put it in the NutriBullet? You're trying to puree it. Yeah, you got to make the butternut squash real soft. Yeah, I don't think that's made for that. And then you put it in the NutriBullet. But I didn't know. My nanny's out of town, and usually the butternut squash real soft. Yeah, I don't think that's made for that. And then you put it in the Nutribullet. But I didn't know. My nanny's out of town, and usually the nanny takes care of this. But the nanny told me that you're supposed to let it cool down a little bit, but I didn't.

And when I say I destroyed the kitchen, my wife got back, and if I could have got her beaten, like when I was a child, I would have got her beaten. You could have. I could have. Just do a paleo diet, man. Meat and vegetables. That's all. Keep it simple. No, you do a little bit of both.

I have butternut squash, and we have meat as well. Well, you've been doing this, but you've been vegetarian this Keep it simple. Nah, you do a little bit of both. I put in a squash and we have meat as well. Well, he's been doing this but you've been vegetarian this whole time now. Yeah, it's over now. So you gotta ease back into when you haven't been eating meat for 30 days. That's right. You can't just go right back to eating that. But it's over now. I lost, I think, like 25 pounds.

I feel great. I feel light. My sex game is even more amazing. Alright, and that's information. I mean, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. How was your weekend? I was at our beautiful juice bar yesterday. I should have went to the juice bar instead of trying to make the damn juice myself.

Yes, that's what I said. You should have came by. You don't have to make those things. You can go get them made for you. I know. That's what I should have did, but. Yeah, it's nice. The weather's getting a little bit better.

You know what I did? No, it's not. Tomorrow. It's going to be 80 degrees tomorrow. I'm like, the weather sucked all weekend. Yeah, they said the rest of the week is going to be like 70s and 80s. Yeah, the rest of the week is supposed to be like 70s and 80s. But what I did do was some spring cleaning, finally.

I was working on cleaning out my closet. I have so many things. You know what my problem is? Is that I feel bad getting rid of certain things. I'll be like, well, this was a TV show I worked on 20 years ago. And I'm going to keep this shirt. And this is my first internship. I'm going to keep this T-shirt.

I have all these promo items. If you give it to somebody that needs you, you feel a lot better. But it's like something that's meaningful to me. Because it's something that I worked on. So I don't want to get rid of it. But I know I'm never going to keep this t-shirt. I have all these promo items. Just give it to somebody that needs you. You'll feel a lot better. But it's like something that's meaningful to me. Okay. Because it's something that I worked on. Right. So I don't want to get rid of it, but I know I'm never going to wear it. So what do you do with it? You got to give it away.

It makes no sense keeping that space. Hey, drop him a Clues Bonds for the California University of Pennsylvania, too. I was there on Friday speaking on a panel about police brutality and hip-hop and all kinds of other good stuff. So salute to Cal U for having me. That's dope. And I caught up on

all my TV shows this week. Atlanta, The Last OG. Oh, Atlanta was so funny the last episode to me. Which one was the last episode? Where they went to the college and he stayed in the girls' dorm.

Oh, yeah, when they was all dressed like TLC. Why was they all dressed like TLC from the Creep video? It was a pajama party. Oh. How you watch it and don't know what's going on? I did watch it. I just still, Atlanta kind of. The whole point was it was a pajama Creep video? It was a pajama party. Oh. How you watch it and don't know what's going on?

I did watch it. I just still, I'm still, Atlanta kind of. The whole point was it was a pajama party. I know it was a pajama party, but they was all, they literally was dressed like TLC from the Creep video. They had on silky pajamas. Oh. All right.

The same blue and red and all that. I actually like this season of Atlanta. It's been funny to me. And I don't watch Homeland of Billions, huh? I watch Billions. Oh, okay. Amazing show. I'm surprised you don't watch them.

But anyway, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about next? Well, let's talk about the White House Correspondents Dinner and the comedian Michelle Wolf, who people are upset at. But if you're upset at her, you should be upset at the whole administration. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, the Cavs beat the Pacers 105-101. They move on to play Toronto Raptors. Cavs look pretty good. Well, yeah, it was by six, but they were up by ten in the last fourth quarter.

Yeah, but they went to game seven. They did. The Rockets beat the Jazz 110-96, winning game one. And tonight, the Sixers play Boston. Now, where are you going to start off? This White House Correspondence Dinner Yes let's talk about Comedian Michelle Wolf

From the Daily Show She did the White House Correspondence Dinner And some people are upset Donald Trump tweeted out While Washington Michigan Because he wasn't there Was a big success

Washington D.C. Just didn't work Everyone is talking about The fact that the White House Correspondence Dinner Was a very big Boring mess Stop being so sensitive

I understand how somebody That can say what they want, when they want, about who they want, can be so sensitive about some jokes. Take a dish that you can take it, right? Except that these are jokes and what he does, he really believes. But the so-called comedian, according to Donald Trump, really bombed. Now here's Michelle Wolf talking about Donald Trump at the Correspondents Dinner. Trump is racist, though. He loves white nationalists,

which is a weird term for a Nazi. Calling a Nazi a white nationalist is like calling a pedophile a kid friend. Or Harvey Weinstein a ladies' man. Which isn't really fair. He also likes plants. Good content, but her voice is trash. Why does her voice sound like that?

All right, Michelle Wolf also talked about Pence, and here's what she had to say about Pence and abortion. Mike Pence is also very anti-choice. He thinks abortion is murder, which, first of all, don't knock it till you try it. And when you do try it, really knock it. You know, you got to get that baby out of there. And yeah, sure, you can groan all you want

I know a lot of you are very Anti-abortion You know, unless it's the one you got for your secret Mistress Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, this might be one of them times Donald Trump told the truth Them jokes is trash Good content is just a delivery Delivery is bad

Alright, Michelle, we've also had some things to say About Sanders Every time Sarah Delivery is bad. Her voice is annoying. All right, Michelle, we've also had some things to say about Sanders. Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited because I'm not really sure what we're going to get. You know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies, or divided into softball teams. It's shirts and skins, and this time don't be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta. I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful.

Like, she burns facts. And then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Boo. Boo. Boo. Matthew Dowd tweeted out, if you are a Trump supporter or a member of his administration and aren't willing to condemn his vulgar and mean-spirited behavior every day, then I don't want to hear what you have to say about a comedian. First of all, I don't think this administration deserves a White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Let's start there. There's nothing in this administration that should be made light of, and I think the president's approval rating has to be at a certain number in order to get a White House Correspondents' Dinner. Well, he wasn't even there anyway, so he already knew what it was. This is more for the journalists. Now, Director Rob Reiner tweeted, I attended the White House

correspondence dinner last night. Donald Trump has so poisoned the atmosphere by attacking the disabled, gold star parents, Muslims, Mexicans, blacks, women, the press, the rule of law

that a comedian who simply tells the truth is offensive. She's joking. He's not. I just think it's because the jokes were bad. We say it all the time.

It don't matter what you joke about, but if the jokes are bad, you're probably going to get some backlash. The jokes were bad or delivery was trash. All right. And let's talk about the Waffle House shooting hero, James Shaw Jr. He has so far raised over $200,000 for the victims in the Waffle House shooting, and he is going to be helping to pay for those funerals.

Now, I was confused about that because I definitely donated to that link to the GoFundMe. Salute to my man James. But I saw something with a Waffle House CEO said they were going to pay for the funeral. Yeah I seen that too. I don't know but the money is all the proceeds are you know going to go to

the victims. So I'm not sure what they're planning to do but the restaurant has pledged to donate all of their proceeds for the next month to the families of the deceased and the living victims as well. So not just for funerals, but for the victims who are still alive and for the families. We're dropping the clues bombs to James Shaw Jr. He's actually

going to be up here soon. He's going to be in New York this weekend. I think he's doing Van Jones show, but y'all should go donate to that cause. I put a couple coins in there. Okay. And y'all know I ain't got no money. So if I ain't got no money and I can donate, y'all can definitely go donate. We got a lot of money. You just made 10 millions off the Kanye interview.

All right. No, they're holding it out for 100 million. 100 million. No, we took the 10. We took the 10. There you go. All right. Now, get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night or a bad morning, or maybe you just feel blessed. You want to spread some positivity. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's up right now. Maybe you had a bad night or a bad morning. Or maybe you just feel blessed. You want to spread some positivity. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest.

The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. So you better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? What's up, MV? Hey, Trav. You always get on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? What's up, Envy? Hey, Trav. You always get through, Trav.

Hi, Trav. Because he comes through the back door. How many times do I have to tell you? Hey. Hey, boo. What's up, Charlamagne?

What up, sis? Nothing much, nothing much. Listen, can I talk about Kanye real quick? Sure, go ahead. Go right ahead. I honestly want to hear this interview first

that Charlamagne keeps talking about because if Kanye is going to be clear and concise and he's not showing any signs of being crazy, he shows he's

self-informed. And hopefully, Charlamagne asks him questions about how he feels about police brutality on black men in this current climate

since he's raising young black children and hopefully, he asks him about the body count of Chicago and what he's doing for his age. Why don't you wait for the interview, Trav? It'll be out tomorrow. Yeah, Trav, you want to do the interview, damn it? Yeah, and we

definitely weren't having those conversations. Oh, okay. I understand because Charlamagne and I are getting flown out like what a bad bitch he is. I definitely didn't get flown out. Now, Trav, did you listen to the new music? Not no bad bitches get flown out. Now, Trav, did you listen to the new music? You don't know bad bitches get flown out.

Trav, did you listen to Kanye's new music? Actually, I heard the one with him and T.I. and I heard the Whoopi the Scoop. Right. I didn't even listen yet. I'm going to listen right now, though. The one with T.I. is a good concept, a great concept. I like the one with him and T.I., though.

I actually like the one with him and T.I. It's a great concept. They actually just recorded that. They recorded that last week, Thursday. Yeah, you can tell. I figured it had to be. I remember T.I. had posted that he had just came from seeing Kanye and there's still hope for him or something like that.

Yeah, a debate, an argument turned into that record, which is a great concept. I'm not going to slander you for giving out your little Charlamagne Care package for Donkey of the Day. I'm going to wait to hear the interview first. All right. We're going to see. I don't know if the interview is going to change your mind. All right, Trav.

Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Charles from Houston, bro. Hey, what's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Charlamagne, you're the realest dude ever. Angela E., you're fine as hell. But DJ Envy, look, bro, we're waiting on that next track that you're going toest dude ever. Angela E., you fine as hell. But DJ Envy, look, bro, we waiting on that next track that you gonna produce, man. And one more thing.

Please, y'all, please don't ever mention Beyonce in the same sentence as Michael Jackson. She will never be a greater performer than Michael Jackson. Not in this lifetime. Not ever. She live. Don't get me wrong. But not Michael Jackson, bro. Yes, Beyonce and Michael Jackson can be debated.

Well, Beyonce, like Janelle Monae said, was inspired by Michael Jackson, so it is a whole different era, and she'll say that. Well, if you can say Michael Jackson was inspired by James Brown, we don't have no problem saying Michael better than James. Right. Well, also, and young man, I'm going to release the next single this morning during the mix. It's actually her featuring Chris Brown, but I'll get that on the mix.

Oh, I love her. Hello, who's this? This is Kendall Smith. Hey, Kendall, get it off your chest, bro. I was calling on behalf of your guest that you had this morning about individual being successful. Oh, W. Kamal Bell? Yeah, yeah, Kamal Bell.

Yeah, I agree with that person about everybody don't have the same opportunity to be successful because they're not surrounded by the right people. And I'll give you a prime example. We were working hard, my son, since he was 15 years old in the music business, and we met quite a few people, but we haven't gone anywhere. No, no, no,

stop right there. The music business is a difficult business regardless of who you are trying to get into it, okay? Like the success, the breaking in the music business is like trying to play the Powerball lottery. Or trying to get an NBA or NFL.

It's very difficult. It takes a lot of hard work. I'm not going to hiss it in and say that, you know, because we all worked our ass off to get that opportunity and put our foot in the door. So it's not easy at all. It's going to take a lot of hard work, and some will make it, some will never make it. And especially in the music industry, stop it, man. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. You need the vent. Hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest.

Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you've got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Brianna. Hey, get it off your chest. Well, first of all, I just want to say good morning to everybody. I'm calling from Salisbury, Maryland.

Good morning. I just want to wish everybody a productive week. Okay, thank you, Mama. When I think of Salisbury, Maryland, I think of Salisbury steak. And I don't even eat that. That's like mystery. I love it. You sound like you in a good mood this morning.

I am, you know, I'm getting over pneumonia, but I mean, I'm still just like really blessed because you know, I didn't have to wake up this morning. So I'm just trying to go forward every day a little more positive than the last day. How you got pneumonia, boo? I have no clue how I got it, and I had it for about a week before I even figured it out.

It's standing online at the club with a little short skirt on and no panties. Indeed. Nah, I got too much meat for that. All right, mama. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's good? It's Mike from Brooklyn. Mike from BK.

Get it off your chest, bro. First of all, Sean, man, what's popping? Yeah, what up, baby? What up? What's up, my brother? Just calling to see if, first of all, you know, I. First of all, Sean, man, what's popping, what up, baby? What up? What's up, my brother? Just calling to see if, first of all, you know,

I got somebody I married and I know you, you know, I know you have a boyfriend or whatever, but you know how everybody always want what they can't have.

That's what they say. So I just want you to follow my gram and tell me if I see you in a club, if you were single, if you were hollering. First of all,

how can you see it? What are you talking about? If you say, if you say everybody wants what they can't have and then you throw out your Instagram, you know what I'm going to do? What is going on? I'm not going to follow your Instagram. But he's saying he wants you to go and see

if you've seen her, would you holla? Exactly, because you know if I see her and I try to holla and she don't want me, I'm going to waste my time, you feel me? Who are you talking about? His girl that he want to marry. You're weird, bro. What's your girl Instagram?

What's your Instagram? S-H-M-I-K-E-L-O-W-R-E-Y. What's your girl Instagram? I'm going to go look. What's your Instagram? What's your girl Instagram? You're going to see her on his page. What's his page? S-H-M-I-K-E-L-O-W-R-E-Y.

L-O-W- S-H-Mike Lowry? Michael Butler? You know it. I don't see your girl. All I see is a bunch of dudes, man. Nah, you're going to see it, man. All I see is a bunch of dudes.

I know my wife is fine, but she's bad. Salute to Lady J. You want to know if we think you're attractive?

Not them, but you. Listen, y'all make a nice Dominican couple, man. There you go. First of all, I'm not Dominican, son. What are you? I'm a mixed breed. I'm a mutt. Don't call yourself a mutt. You look Dominican. You got on white jeans and white pictures. I don't look Dominican, but I'm a mutt, son. I'm a mutt. So, Ye, what do you think?

Is this guy attractive or no? I like to make it in Chinese. Ye says she'll pass. Yeah, he's a good-looking guy, man. You and your wife are both beautiful, so congratulations to y'all. Now, what'd you get out of that? Being an attractive couple. Now, what'd you get out of that? Salute to Dominican love, man.

You know what? I can't. You're a nice little knight out at Dave & Buster's. You know what I'm saying? Oh, you see you got City Island popping on here. Okay, an A-Boogie shout-out. Oh, this is definitely Bronx all day. The Bronx all day.

This is definitely a Dominican from the Bronx all day. Get it off your chest. That's Dominican. 800-585-1050. We got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Kanye and new music he put out over the weekend. And Chance the Rapper, he had to clarify some things for the Gram. All right, we'll get into that when we come back.

Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Kanye. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Kanye has put out a couple of new songs. Now, one of them obviously seems like it's a joke. Hopefully, it's called Lift Yourself.

Here's a little snippet. This beat is crazy. But they don't really realize, though. This next verse. This next verse, though, these bars. Just step up on your feet. Watch this. Whoop-dee-do-scoop. Scoop-dee-dee-whoop.

Whoop-dee-scoop-dee-poop. Poop-dee-scoop-dee-scoop-dee-whoop. Whoop-dee-dee-scoop-whoop-poop. All right. I actually heard that record. The real record? Yeah, that was definitely one of those records where I said, what the F is that?

Oh, he played that just like that? Yeah, but that was supposed to be a reference. I don't know why he put that out. No, that beat sounds amazing. It sounds like one of those Chance to Rap or Kanye, really feel good, lift yourself up songs. When I heard that beat, I thought it was a real song, but that beat is amazing.

All right, and then this other song, Ye vs. the People, it's with him and T.I. Check it out. I know Obama was seven cent, but ever since Trump won, it proved that I could be president. Yeah, you can and work hard, though. Don't they go against the teachers that Ye talk for?

Yo, Tip, I hear your side and everybody talk, though, but ain't going against the grain everything I fought for? Probably so, Gabe, but where you trying to go with this? Is this what you just don't align with and don't go again? You just reading the headlines. You don't see the fine print. You on some choosing side, bitch. I'm on some unified, bitch.

It's bigger than yourself, Mr. Gentleman. If your election ain't gonna stop police from murdering you versus the people. I love the dialogue. I don't agree with a lot of what Kanye is saying, but I agree with his right to say it. Because when he says he's trying to repurpose the MAGA hat, like that can't happen because MAGA, that slogan, Make America Great Again, it's not an all-inclusive statement. It's like

repurposing the Confederate flag or something. He tried that, too. Well, America has never been great for minorities on this planet ever, so you can't say, you know, you can't repurpose Make America Great Again because it's never been great for everybody. And you can't tell us that you're wearing that hat. He said, Make America Great Again had a negative perception.

I took it, wore it, rocked it, gave it a new direction. I don't know that that's true. You gotta drop the again. Like, you can do Make America Great. Make America Great for everybody, but you can't say Make America Great Again because it's never been great for minorities on this planet. Song is genius, though. Like, great dialogue. I love the fact that they went back and forth

on some music. Alright, now, Kanye in the meantime also posted some other text messages that he had with somebody named Wes, now Kanye, in the meantime, also posted some other text messages that he had with somebody named Wes. And he says that the doctor that actually performed the surgery that ended up killing his mother, Jan Adams, the plastic surgeon,

he says the picture of Jan Adams will be his cover art and the album will be called Love Everyone. So he's the one that performed that breast reduction surgery along with liposuction and other procedures back in 2007 on Donda. Now he texted, this is my album cover. This is plastic surgeon Jan Adams, the person who performed my mom's final surgery. Do you have any title ideas?

I want to forgive and stop hating. See, this is what I mean when I say forgiveness is overrated. Because you know how I always have a problem with people who forgive those who have done them wrong. Because you know how I always have a problem with people who forgive those who have done them wrong. Because you get into this mind state where you just feel like since you want to love everybody and you feel like love

and everybody is going to make you better, it's okay to not like someone. I thought about this too. They killed your mother. I thought about this too. Forgiveness doesn't equal I love you.

Forgiveness is really more so you can't have that burden of hating somebody. That doesn't mean I forgot what happened. It doesn't mean now I love you. What is really more so you can't have that burden of hating somebody. That doesn't mean I forgot what happened. It doesn't mean now I love you. What's the opposite of hate you? Love. Okay then. But that's not forgiveness. I thought about this. I can't forgive you. I'm sorry.

There's certain things like maybe I need some growing to do. Maybe I need to get closer to the law but certain people, especially that, you kill my mom. You don't have to love him. F you forever. I cannot like somebody. I cannot love someone but I can still forgive. I don't want to forgive. I'm not forgiving him. You killed my mom. You don't have to love him. F you forever. You don't have to love him. I cannot like somebody, I cannot love someone, but I can still forgive. I don't want to forgive. I'm not forgiving him.

You killed my mom. And I hate when people say, you got to forgive for yourself. I'm perfectly fine. That is the point of it. No, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine not to forgive you. Especially if you're a religious person and they always preach forgiveness.

They do, but I just can't. I got more going on. But that, you guys can't. Certain people, I just can't forgive. Like, you killed my mom, I'm supposed to forgive. I can't. I'm just sorry. I cannot.

Now, Chance the Rapper, in the meantime, has distanced himself from Kanye West after Donald Trump actually shouted him out. Now, earlier in the week, don't forget, Chance the Rapper defended Kanye, his brother in Christ. And then Donald Trump tweeted out, Kanye West has performed a great service to the black community. Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in decades. Legacy stuff. Thank you also to Chance and Dr. Daryl Scott. They really get it. Now Chance then had to put, my fault, yo.

And then he posted, anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about my city. And my loved one, Kanye, is not just a mentor or a big homie to me. He's my family. And then he said, I'd never support anyone who has made a career out of hatred, racism, and discrimination. I'd never support someone who'd talk about Chicago as if it's hell on earth and then take steps. And he goes on to say, my statement about black folk not having to be Democrats, though true, was a deflection from the real conversation and stemmed from a personal issue with the fact that Chicago has had generations of Democratic officials with no investment or regard for black schools, neighborhoods, or black lives,

but again said that-ish at the wrongest time. How did he distance himself from Kanye in that statement? Well, he distanced himself from saying that he was supporting Kanye, basically. I thought he was distancing himself from Trump. He's not supporting Donald Trump at all. So I think it got confused in Kanye supporting Donald Trump, and then he was supporting Kanye's support supporting Donald Trump at all. So I think it got confused in Kanye supporting Donald Trump. And then he was supporting Kanye's support for Donald Trump. And so it seemed like in turn he was.

This is why you can't have certain conversations via Twitter, because the tweet that Chance sent out wasn't a bad tweet at all. Black people don't have to be Democrats. But in the midst of everything that was going on, that tweet reads as black people don't have to be Democrats. We can be conservative or we can support Donald Trump. If you're going to say blacks don't have to be Democrats. We can be conservative or we can support Donald Trump. If you're going to say blacks don't have to be Democrats, then give up some alternatives as to what else blacks can do. Because you can register as an independent. All right. And last but not least, Questlove was wearing a T-shirt that says Kanye doesn't care about black people.

And he wore that over the weekend also. And that was captured by Rolling Stone senior writer Jamel K. Smith, who said, this is the shirt Questlove wore while performing at last night's concert for Peace and Justice here in Montgomery, Alabama. It reads, Kanye doesn't care about black people underneath the arching sentence. This is an alt-right dream. I took this backstage after the event. After Questlove showed his shirt, someone nearby remarked, Kanye cares about record sales. I can't say that I disagree with that or the t-shirt. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee.

Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about on front page news? I guess we'll be talking about the White House Correspondents Dinner. Okay, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news. In sports, the Seahawks. Did you see this story, Charlamagne? The Seahawks drafted a one-handed linebacker. I saw that story. Did you see that?

I didn't. How does that work? I don't know. You had a one-handed linebacker, JPP? He wasn't really one-handed. Was he a goddamn linebacker? He was missing two fingers. He still had three fingers.

This guy only has, like, his other hand is not there. It's a nub. That nub will hurt. I used to get paddling by this principal back in the day named Mr. Barnes. He had a little nub, and his paddling didn't still hurt. You know what? Some people thought that he should have been drafted higher. First round, yeah.

I see that. Well, congratulations to him, man. Congratulations to that boy. Now, come on now. Not having a hand will drop your draft stock. Let's be clear. He's pretty incredible though. You ain't got no choice but to be. If you watch the video of him. Yeah, Shaquem Griffin. Well, congratulations to him. Alright, now, Game 7 Cavs beat the Pacers 105-101. They move on to

playing the Raptors and the Rockets beat the Jazz 110-96. Let move on to playing the Raptors. And the Rockets beat the Jazz 110-96. Let's talk about this White House Correspondents Dinner. Yes, comedian Michelle Wolf from The Daily Show was speaking. Well, she was the host, the comic, at the White House Correspondents Dinner. And things did not go so well for some people. They were upset about it. Now, here she is talking about Donald Trump.

Trump is racist, though. He loves white nationalists. Which is a weird term for a Nazi. Calling a Nazi a white nationalist is like calling a pedophile a kid friend. Or Harvey Weinstein a ladies man.

Which isn't really fair. He also likes plants. Why does she sound so tired though? That's what she always sounds like. Her delivery is trash. Now, Donald Trump tweeted out, because obviously he wasn't there. He never goes to the White House Correspondents' Dinner. While Washington, Michigan was a big success,

Washington, D.C. just didn't work. Everyone is talking about the fact that the White House Correspondents' Dinner was a very big, boring bust. The so-called comedian really bombed. She goes on to talk about Pence and abortion. Here's what she said. Mike Pence is also very anti-choice. He thinks abortion is murder, which first of all, don't knock it till you try it. And when you do try it, really knock it. You know, you got to get

that baby out of there. And yeah, sure, you can groan all you want. I know a lot of you are very anti-abortion, you know, unless it's the one you got for your secret mistress. I'm anti-whack joke, too. I mean, I thought that was a pretty telling thing. Everybody says, I'm anti-abortion, anti-abortion, all these older conservative

men that obviously aren't women and don't have anything to do with women's bodies until they get their mistress knocked up on the side. Yeah, but what that got to do with the delivery being trash? It's all about the joke. If you're up there telling jokes, the joke's still got to hit. So I get what she was saying. Okay, also, let's talk about James Shaw Jr. He's raised over $200,000

for the victims of the Waffle House shooting. Now, there was a New York man who launched an online fundraiser that was to benefit Shaw that raised $175,000. That money is going to go towards the victims' families. And the restaurant has also pledged to donate all of their proceeds for the next month to the families of the deceased and the living victims from that Waffle House shooting. Hey, somebody, tell the Breakfast Club page to post that link out.

I donated to that link. I think you should, too. Soot to my guy, James Shaw Jr. Drop on the clues bombs for that guy, man. He's going to be in town this week, too. All right. Well, so far, his campaign has raised over $200,000 for the families. All right.

Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Front Page News. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Issa Rae is trending this morning on social media. I don't understand this. Issa's book has been out for at least five years. Now, she's trending because of something she wrote in her book. Do you have what she wrote?

Can you read it to the people? She said, The plight of Asian men is nearly the same as that of black women, except for the fact that their women tend to marry white or other far more often. In fact, Asian Americans have the highest rate of intermarriage. Asian men, your reputation sucks too. This is why I propose black women and Asian men join forces. This is my parents.

In love, marriage, and procreation, educated black women, what better intellectual match for you than an Asian man? And I'm not talking about Filipinos. They're like the blacks of Asians. I'm talking Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, et cetera. According to a 2010 census, Koreans are more inclined to marry black

than any other Asian group. Issa Rae book came out in 2015. Why did Negroes just get upset about this last night? If you want to hear Issa Rae speaking about it, here she is also discussing. I say that black women and Asian men are at the bottom of the dating totem pole.

Nobody wants... It's true. But I do say that the more educated the black women tend to go. This is speaking from my own college experience. The guys, the pool of guys was so limited. They knew that they were a catch. They knew they were educated. They weren't in jail. They didn't have kids.

So they were like, we have options, so work for us. And that made it unappealing. So we tend to either... Feel isolated? Feel like discouraged from pursuing I I guess, black love. I love when y'all fake try to cancel somebody. They trying to cancel Issa Rae. They been trying to get Issa Rae out of here since last night.

Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. How do you feel about this? What do you think about her statement when she wrote in her book? Call us up right now. Is my dad an intellectual Asian man? All right. Well, my mom's black and my dad's Asian,

but I don't think that's why. All right. Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Shout out to Papa YouTube. The Breakfast Club. 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 Issa Rae. Now, she's been trending the last two days on Twitter, on social media, and this is because of her book. This is what she wrote in her bookie. Yeah, she wrote that she proposes that black women and Asian men join forces in love, marriage, and procreation.

Educated black women, what better intellectual match for you than an Asian man? And I'm not talking about Filipinos. They're like the blacks of Asians. I'm talking Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, etc. All right. So the question is, what do you think about her statement? 800-585-1051. Do you feel this way, Yi?

You're a black woman. Well, it's different for me also because I'm a black woman whose mom is black and whose dad is Asian. If you ask me, I don't think she was being like serious when she wrote this in her book. And this book is from 2011, by the way, I think, right? 2015. Oh, 2015? Yes, when we came out in 2015. All right, so this book is pretty old.

So she didn't have the attention that she has now. But yeah, I didn't really take it that seriously. Well, here's the thing. People aren't really mad about what she said. They are mad about the double standard that exists because if a black guy said this about a black woman, it would be World War III, and they would be on social media trying to get this person canceled.

So guys are trying to give Issa that same energy, but I don't give a damn. I read that book. I actually read Issa's book last year on vacation, and I read that part, and I didn't feel offended. But, you know, I got a cold heart. Not too many things offend me anyway. You know, it doesn't really matter when she wrote it.

If she wrote it in 2002 or 2011 is what she said. I honestly don't have a problem. I don't care. I thought she was just kind of trying to be funny and make the statement that— It sounds like it's time to be funny. You know what I mean? I think what she's trying to say is that for women, we don't like

people don't look at Asian men so well and y'all don't look at black women at the top of the list so why don't Asian men... They date each other. I took it as a joke. I didn't really, I didn't take it. There's so many other things that we could be mad about. I'm telling you, they're mad because of the double standards.

But that is true. If a black guy said that, it'd be World War III. So all guys are trying to do is get people riled up and they want people to have that same energy y'all have for black men

towards Easter eggs. Well, she's a black woman, so she can talk about black women just like, you know. So black men can't talk about black women? No, I'm saying she can

make a joke about herself. She's talking about herself. So you see how he's making excuses? Now, I don't have a problem with what he's? No, I'm saying she can make a joke about herself. She's talking about herself. See how he's making excuses? Now, I don't have a problem with what Issa said, but I'm saying if a black... Let Corey Holcomb... Now, who's a black guy that's on Issa's level? Corey Holcomb probably said something crazier than that.

Who's a black guy that's on that level? Donald Glover. Let Donald Glover say something like that. Say Michael B. Jordan. Michael... Oh, my God. Say Michael B. Jordan. Oh, it'd be World War III.

Any black man that was on Issa's level and made this same statement, y'all wouldn't let them get off with, oh, she's joking. Nope. Nope. Definitely not. Black men, y'all can make jokes about yourselves. And black women, we can make jokes about ourselves. Hello.

But she's not making jokes about ourselves. She's making jokes about black men. No, she said black women. And Asian men. Well, let's go to the phone lines. What's your name, mama? Travis Finney-Stevens, a.k.a. Swag. Okay, Swag.

Now, what's your opinion, Swag? Black women, and I'm going on 42. I must say this in a while. Black men is the softened down. Most of them are stuck. And I ain't got nothing to do. Oh, my God. You can't say that word.

And the black man is not being strong for the black woman. He's being strong for every other woman except the black woman. So I don't have a black man anymore. I wouldn't date a black man anymore because I've had so many, and not so many because I ain't been but three relationships, but black men just don't stand up to what the old-timing black man used to stand up for. So you agree with her? It's not too many black men that's going to be lining up to date a woman named Swag

who uses gay slurs. Or Seven Cities Diesel. Goodbye. This is gracious. You agree with her. It's not too many black men that's going to be lining up to date a woman named Swag who uses gay slurs. Seven Cities Diesel, goodbye. Gracious. Oh my gosh. I'm cool on Swag who uses gay slurs. Tyree, I'm sorry Tyree. Yo, what's going on DJ Envy? What's up man? What's your opinion bro? Yo man, at the end of the day, Issa

Ray have her own opinion to lace up on being with a Filipino and a black kid. They both can be with each other if they want to. Because at the end of the day, a black man has to do what he got to do to be better off on himself. If a girl make more money than him, that's on him. You know what I'm saying? You can't be mad at her for making more money than you, bruh.

You know what I'm saying? You got to get on your J-O-B. You got to do what you got to do to benefit both of y'all. Because at the end of the day, I don't... Just because a girl, she can make more money than me and she can be black.

What are you talking about? I'm going to be honest with you, man. If this is the kind of black men that's out here, I see why Issa Rae want her a little Asian Filipino. The only person who should be mad is Filipinos.

585-1051. We're talking what Issa Rae said. Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club.85-1051. We're talking what Issa Rae said. Call us now. 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 Issa Rae. She's trending on social media right now because of her book that came out, what, four or five years ago? 2015, her book came out. Yeah, yeah. Now, can you just read what was in the book, which is making people so mad? She said, The plight of Asian men is nearly the same as that of black women, except for the fact that their women tend to marry white or other far more often.

In fact, Asian Americans have the highest rate of intermarriage. Asian men, your reputation sucks, too. This is why I propose that black women and Asian men join forces in love, marriage, and procreation. Educated black women, what better intellectual match for you than an Asian man? And I'm not talking about Filipinos. They're like the blacks of Asians.

I'm talking Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, et cetera. Well, here's the thing. People aren't really mad about this. They're not really mad about what she said. They're just mad about the double standard that exists. Because if a black guy said that about a black woman, they would have been canceled. So guys are just trying to give Issa that same energy. Because, you know, think about what she said.

Educated black women, your best intellectual match is an Asian man. There's no educated black men out there. Woo! Let a black man say that about a black woman and watch what would happen to him. Let's go to the phone lines. Hey, what's your name, mama? Santana. Hey, Santana.

We're talking Issa Rae's statement. What do you think? I feel like people want a reason to be mad instead of having a reason to talk about it. She's not saying anything that black women don't talk about amongst themselves all the time. Educated black women. I don't think she's against black love. I just think that, you know, when you're more educated, they don't choose you like they choose the others. That's not what she said, though.

She said that educated black women should go choose educated Asian men. I think she was just being funny by saying that because I don't think that educated black women should flock to Asian men. You're not choosing to be at the bottom of the totem pole. She's trying to say that black men aren't marrying black women, so they put us at the bottom of all of women

because black women are at the bottom and Asian men are at the bottom of men. So we might as well get together with each other. She's not saying that black men aren't educated. I didn't hear her say nothing about black men. She didn't say nothing about black men. Hey, what's your name, mama? Hey, my name's Ariel.

Hey, Ariel, what do you think about Issa Rae's statement? I really don't see anything wrong with what she said. I feel like all black women, not all black women, but most black women love Issa Rae. And I feel like people are always trying to come for black women whenever they have something to say that may be outside of the norm. I don't think there's anything wrong with what she said. It's true. It's true. Yeah, she's talking about the plight of black women being the same as the plight of Asian men because we're at the bottom. Hello, who's this? Black women should hook up with Asian men, have babies, get married.

Yeah, so she said because the plight of Asian men is nearly the same as that of black women should hook up with Asian men, have babies, get married. Yeah, so she said because the plight of Asian men is nearly the same as that of black women, except for the fact that their women tend to marry white or other far more often. Hello? Yes, hi. My name is Mia from Cleveland, Ohio. Hey. Good morning, Mama. What do you think about what Issa Rae said in her book? I agree with her 200%.

Okay. Because I have been attending private schools from the age of three, and I love my black men. Nothing is more beautiful to me than a black man, but they treated me like trash. Right, that's what he's just saying. No, that's what he's just saying. That is what she was saying.

I don't think you understood what she was trying to say. I don't think you understood what she was saying. I just read it right here. So black women are treated like they're at the bottom of the totem pole, right? Yes, very much so And it's very hurtful And it's very painful When it's done By one of our own

And that's why I started dating white men Because I got tired of it They treated me much better They're very respectful And to this day I still look for a black guy But to quote Chris Rock

They not feeling us sisters Well that's good When you go see Black Panther 2, I hope you get booed out the theater with your little white boo. Listen, all I know is this. Insecure Season 3 coming out. I will be watching Insecure Season 3. I just like when y'all get online and y'all try to fake cancel people, okay? Because this really

was a three-year-old topic. Her book came out in 2015, so all y'all proving is that s*** really don't read. They didn't see it yet. There was another one, and they starting to see it now. The book came out three years ago. It's a New York Times best-selling book. Well, you know what happened was actually after the show came on HBO, after Insecure started, they re-released it again.

Insecure came out 2016? Yeah, this came out before Insecure. Yeah, 2015. And so they put it back out again after the show came out. All I know is they got mad at this yesterday. What's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is Insecure Season 3 is on the way, all right? And it's not going to stop me from watching it.

But I do understand why guys are upset because it's a clear double standard that exists because if a black guy said this about a black woman, well, Lord have mercy, they'd have been canceled. All right. You got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about who broke J. Cole's Spotify first day streaming record.

I didn't think anybody was going to do this anytime soon, but wait till you find out who it is. All right, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. We're on it. It's about time. We're going now. Rumor report.

Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, J. Cole, his album K.O.D. broke the U.S. record for first day streaming on Spotify. But now Post Malone has surpassed that record with over 36 million streams in the United States. And he set a new global mark on that popular service as well.

So there you have it. Except J. Cole's album was a surprise album when it came out. And J. Cole's album is actually good. I doubt Post Malone. You didn't even listen to it yet. I sure haven't. You didn't even listen to it yet. I sure haven't

and I never will listen to that ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma and A-B music. So you can't make that statement. F. Post Malone and all his fans who be in my mentions mad at me

because I don't like Post Malone. It might be a great album. It might be. You a DJ and you ain't listen to it. I didn't. See what I'm saying? I didn't.

But I'm not making comments about it. Now, J. Cole's album, by the way, is number one on Billboard. So he has about 397,000 equivalent album units in the week. So congratulations to J. Cole for his successful new album, K.O.D. Now, he also is having his Dreamville Festival. And that festival is going to be in Raleigh, North Carolina. And that's going to be going down September 15th.

So anybody interested in that Dreamville Festival, that's when it's happening. Now, Kendrick Lamar, his damn album sales have gone up 236% ever since he won that Pulitzer Prize. Yeah, my mama asked me about Kendrick Lamar. Oh, really? Yes, because she's an English teacher. She was an English teacher, but the Pulitzer Prize is a big deal to her. So he was like, who's Kendrick Lamar. Oh, really? Yes, because she's an English teacher. She was an English teacher, but the Pulitzer Prize is a big deal to her.

So he was like, who's Kendrick Lamar? Yeah, and he's the first non-classical or jazz artist to earn that award. So congratulations to him for Damn. Congratulations. What songs should I listen to from Kendrick Lamar? What'd you tell her? What'd you tell her? Minor Damn Business.

No, that's not a song. Now, speaking of breaking records, Avengers Infinity War has passed Star Wars Force Awakens and made $250 million just in the United States and $380 million overseas. So in total, that's $630 million. And that's without China yet because it doesn't come out in China until May 11th. So once that happens, you already know what that's going to be. Does that answer your question, Amy, if Avengers Infinity War is going to make more than Black Panther? Now, before that, the record holder was Star Wars The Force Awakens,

as I told you. So congratulations to everybody over at Disney and Marvel for Avengers Infinity War. Every Avengers movie has made over a billion plus films. I'm not into it. I don't know. This is the culmination of 10 years of films, okay? I don't know. I've seen Black Panther, but I was not interested in Avengers.

And another one coming out next year. Avengers again? Yes. When does Black Panther 2 come back out? When does Black Panther 2 come out? Whenever Ryan Coogler feels like sitting down and doing it. I got a quick spoiler, though. Kanye West dies in Infinity War.

Shut up. Shut up. I'm sorry. Shut up. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Chalamet.

Yes. Who we giving that donkey to? Listen, we need Margaret Tlaib. I think that's how you pronounce her name. She's the president of the White House Correspondents Association. We need her to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a little word with her. All right.

We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. Donkey, donkey, donkey. One, two, three, four.

It's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day for Monday, April 30th goes to White House Correspondents Association President Margaret Tlaib.

And everyone who's upset about the jokes Michelle Wolf made at the White House Correspondents dinner this past weekend. Now, Michelle Wolf is getting backlash because people are calling her comedy routine vulgar and personal. In particular, some of the verbal venom she had for White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Can we hear some of it, please? Every time Sarah steps up to the podium, I get excited because I'm not really sure what we're going to get. You know, a press briefing, a bunch of lies,

or divided into softball teams. It's shirts and skins, and this time don't be such a little bitch, Jim Acosta. I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful. Like, she burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Okay, give me more. Give me more.

And I'm never really sure what to call Sarah Huckabee Sanders. You know, is it Sarah Sanders? Is it Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Is it Cousin Huckabee? Is it Auntie Huckabee Sanders? Like, what's Uncle Tom but for white women who disappoint other white women? Oh, I know, Aunt Coulter. I don't see the problem. I mean, Michelle's delivery was trash, which made the jokes not really funny.

But it's the White House Correspondents' Dinner, okay? This is what the White House Correspondents' Dinner is all about. Jokes rooted in truth and satire rooted in truth. Can I hear some of the jokes you made about Mike Pence? Mike Pence is also very anti-choice. He thinks abortion is murder, which first

of all, don't knock it till you try it. And when you do try it, really knock it. You gotta get that baby out of there. And yeah, sure, you can groan all you want. I know a lot of you are very anti-abortion, you know, unless it's the one you got for your secret mistress. See, jokes rooted in truth and satire rooted in truth, okay? Even if the delivery is trash, all right?

And I can't stand people who can dish it but can't take it, all right? Our celebrity in chief, Donald Trump, won't even show up to the White House Correspondents' Dinner because he's afraid to get jokes like this. Trump is racist, though. He loves white nationalists, which is a weird term for a Nazi. Calling a Nazi a white nationalist is like calling a pedophile a kid friend or Harvey Weinstein a ladies' man.

Which isn't really fair. He also likes plants. Look, if you're the 45th president of the United States of America and you can say vile and disgusting things and not be joking, don't get mad at a comedian for saying vile and disgusting things when she's actually joking. Okay? Because that is indeed Michelle Wolf's job.

All right? Donald Trump said the White House correspondents, then he tweeted this. He said it was a failure last year, but this year was an embarrassment to everyone who associated with it. The filthy comedian totally bombed. Couldn't even deliver her lines. Much like the Seth Meyers week performance. Put dinner to rest. I start over.

Now, I agree with Dope 45 that Michelle's delivery was weak. But so what? Okay, I may not agree with her delivery, but I agree with Michelle being able to deliver it, okay? Now, everyone should have an opinion about Michelle Wolf's jokes, okay? If she told those jokes this weekend and people didn't have an opinion, good or bad, then she probably really sucked, all right? Good, honest commentary is supposed to be polarizing, but one person who shouldn't be upset is the president of the White House

Correspondents' Dinner, Margaret Tlaib, okay? She's the president of the dinner. She said she's not happy, Tlaib. Okay, she's the president of the dinner. She said she's not happy. All right, in fact, she said the jokes made her uncomfortable. Let's hear her speak. My aim and the way I sought to put together the program was to build a spirit of unity in that room, to rally around journalism and why it's important.

My only regret is that those 15 minutes are now defining four hours of what was a really wonderful unifying night. I don't want the cause of unity to be undercut. When the entertainer is a comedian, and as has been the case for most of the last 30 years or so, they are often controversial. They are often polarizing or at least provocative. It's a night about free speech. So by tradition, we do not vet their monologue. Do you think she crossed the line? I think that she brought to the night what she thought was important to say and that her goal may not have been press unity

and everyone rallying around the room to support journalism. Margaret, don't say it's a night of free speech and then get upset because the comedians are speaking freely, okay? If you truly feel that way, you feel it. Don't invite comedians to give the keynote speech. OK, now Donald Trump is saying they should put the White House correspondents in an arrest. I don't agree with that, but I have no problem putting it to rest as long as the Trump administration is in the White House. I don't think this administration deserves a White House correspondent.

OK, there is nothing in this administration that should be made light of. OK, this administration is too dangerous to joke about. And I know we have to laugh to keep from crying, but nah. I think the president's approval rating has to be at a certain number in order to get a dinner and some jokes, okay? If your approval rating is 40%, you don't deserve a damn dinner, all right, Margaret?

Tlaib, listen, okay? You don't have to agree with what people say, but if you truly believe in freedom of speech, you should defend their right to say it. Please give Margaret Tlaib, president of the White House Correspondents Association, the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes, sir.

Now, when we come back, you know, every Wednesday and Thursday, we do Ask Yee, and sometimes we get some e-mails and some DMs. And, Yee, you got an e-mail the other day, huh? Yeah, and this one actually sparked a lot of conversation. Now, I posted about men and poor grammar, and this got about 1,400 comments. To what degree does a man with poor texting grammar turn you off? Assuming everything else about him is great,

how much would it matter? My grammar isn't exactly perfect, but, damn, this guy I've recently started talking to seems super cool, but his texting is a huge turnoff. He says here when he means here, there when it should be there, and never even bothers to use any kind of punctuation. How important is the use of proper grammar when texting? What's that mean?

You mean here when you mean here? Like H-E-A-R instead of H-E-A-R. Right. Man, why do people get caught up in stuff like that? If you know what I'm talking about, does it matter? All right, well, 8-0-J-M-E-5-8-5-1-0-5-1, does that matter to you? You know the difference. I'm, you know what I'm talking about, does it matter? All right, well, 8-0-JAMMY, 585-1051, does that matter to you? You know the difference.

I'm, you know, I'm the worst text head. Like, most of the time I'm driving, I'm doing something, you know, I'm doing three things at once, so yeah,

whatever you get, you get. You understand what I'm saying, though. Well, if you're trying to date somebody and it's early on in a relationship and y'all don't know each other that well,

does it matter to you how that person is texting, if they can't spell properly, if they're using the wrong words, they're not using punctuation? Should they take the time and effort to make sure their text is pretty as accurate as they can? I think they should,

especially being that a lot of these kids, like that's the way they communicate now. Like they communicate via social media and they communicate via text message. Your grammar and stuff should be flawless. It should be. You should know where to put it. There's a lot of autocorrect.

They shorten everything. There's a lot of autocorrect. I mean, it's so bad with me. If I use my wife's phone, my wife would be like, no, say it's from you. I want you to say, this is Rashawn from Gia's phone, and then use your text. Mine is horrible. Because she's embarrassed that you can't write, so it matters. Absolutely. Well, 800-585-1051

is somebody's grandma when they text. Is that a deal breaker? Why are you bringing somebody's grandma in this? I said grandma. I didn't say grandma. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. The Breakfast Club.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, you know, every Wednesday and Thursday, we do Ask Yee. And sometimes, you know, people call, people DM, and people email. And E.E. got a very interesting email. Yes. She wants to know what degree does a man with poor texting grammar turn you off?

Assuming everything else about him is great, how much would it matter? My grammar isn't exactly perfect, but damn. This guy I've recently started talking to seems super cool, but his texting is a huge turn off. He says here when he means here, there when it should be there, and never bothers to use any kind of punctuation. How important is the use of proper grammar when texting? Well, I say thank God that I'm married because my grandma, not

grandma, but grandma, is horrible. Like, I don't use punctuations. I use the wrong here, there. I'm always doing a million and one things, and I just text and keep it moving. It's amazing, though, because smartphones are supposed to be smart, and they're supposed to be smarter than us, but they're not because they still let all of these bad grammar and stuff fly.

I know I'm no good at it. I'm no good at grammar. I'm no good at punctuation and all of that kind of stuff. Me neither. And by the way, it shouldn't really matter because I'm not sitting there writing a book on my phone. You know what I'm trying to say. You know what I'm getting to.

That's why I don't even think you should have long text messages. Everybody needs to get away from those long text threads man pick up the phone and call the person you really want to talk to well i do feel like people should make an effort to at least do things properly like i know it's not always going to be correct sometimes i send out things with a little mistake in it but i think if it's consistently all kinds of mistakes if you work for me and you send out a text message and there's all kinds of errors that would bother me and if you sent me text messages with all kinds of errors i would probably have to say something like hey why do you text like that sometimes people purposely spell things wrong like they'll write dis instead of this or you know it's weird like i don't understand why we do that we

groan all right so i do feel like it's important to try to instill that and especially when you're trying to make an impression early on well Well, hello, who's this? Yo, this is D from Chelsea. How important is grandma when it comes to who you're dating? I feel like I can judge how soon they're going to give it up, how dumb they think. If they got bad grandma, I feel like that's probably going to be

the first night all week. It's easy. It's ridiculous. That's why I need a condom, too. We're a condom if you got bad grandma. D, look here now. We from the That's why I need a condom, too. We a condom if you got bad grammar. D, look here now. We from the Chuck now. If we type like we talk. Come on now.

Yeah, I don't understand you now, bro. You right, you right, you right. But when you writing, you gotta be safe, man. You can't sit here, me in here. No, what you just said just now could confuse people. You said, you right, you right, you right. When you writing, you right, you right, you right, you writing. You know, he switched over. He was telling you that you're right in what you were saying, but then write. When you're writing, you write, you write, you write, you're writing. You know, he switched over.

He was telling you that you're writing what you were saying, but then he switched to you're writing. You know what I mean? I'm confused. Hello, who's this? This is Tamara. Good morning, guys.

Hey, Tamara. Now, how important is grammar when it comes to a person you're dating? I believe it's very important. My biggest pet peeve, you know, is when people write I'm or they write M-A-M, and it's supposed to be like I'm. It's really not that big of a deal, but it's like, come on, honey.

We're adults. We all went to school, so it's important. Okay. Thank you, Mom. Hello, who's this? Hey, JJ. Hey, JJ. How important is grammar when it comes to a person you're dating?

It's quite important, actually, because you never know if it's like what they're saying as in if it's really how they spell it or if it's just auto-correct. So for me, if you're looking at that, you're wondering, is she not smart or is she just letting the texting do its thing? You know, you don't know if they're smart. Like, it could just be the way they talk. If that's the way they talk over text, it could be the way they talk in person. You know, you can avoid all of this if you just text people and say, call me. Absolutely. If you just simply text call me, you can avoid all of this.

800-585-1051. How important is grammar when it comes to a person that you're dating? Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, you know we do Ask E! Wednesday and Thursday, but sometimes she gets a bunch of emails. That is so interesting. We got to read on air. Now, this was about grandma, right, E? Yeah, she wants to know what degree does a man with poor texting grammar turn you off if they don't use the right punctuations,

they don't use the right words. She said it's a turnoff. Now, I actually spoke to John Legend on Lip Service, which is out right now, about this, and here's what he had to say. These are pet peeves to me. I wouldn't be able to do it with somebody I was dating. It's crazy because Chrissy's a really good texter. As people know

from her tweeting, she's like clever and everything, and she's not always strict with grammar, but she's intentional with her grammar like as long as you know the rules yeah she has her own rules and she she does it for effect more than because she doesn't know the grammar and so that's part of how i fell in love with her was just our banter on text was really good and if and if somebody was texting me like that and and their spelling was all over the place and their grandma's all over the place i And their grandma was all over the place. And I'm like, no, I couldn't do it. I mean, I agree.

I mean, your grandma should be better. Mine is horrible. And I would admit that. But that's why I'm kind of like what Charlamagne said earlier. Call me. That's it. Simply pick up. Simply let me text you.

Call me. I'll text you. Call me. Can we talk this through? Yeah. Now, some guys are really mad in my comments about this. And so that's why y'all ain't got no man. And you're not married because you're worried about little stupid things things and it's not a big deal and so on and so

forth but and some women also felt like it wasn't that important either but i do feel like it's a representation of you like you should at least make an effort sometimes we don't all you know write everything properly but make an effort i'll do something i'll post something on my instagram my wife will call me be like you know you said this wrong. Fix this now. Yeah, if you correct me on it, I'll fix it. You know what I'm saying? I think we need to have a limit on our text messages though. Same way you have a limit on

your Twitter, you should have a limit on your text messages. That way you can avoid really you can avoid bad grammar mistakes too. Okay, well let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? It's Crystal from Jacksonville, Florida. Hey, Envy. Hey, D.A. Hey, Shanaway to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? It's Crystal from Jacksonville, Florida. Hey, Envy. Hey, Deidre. Hey, Shanaway.

Hey, Angela. Hey, Crystal. Now, how important is grammar when it comes to somebody you're dating or that you're with? It is very important, especially when you're just meeting somebody. It's such a turn off to read a text message and you have to sit here and try to digest it and figure out what they're talking about. I will definitely block you if you can't spell things right. Whoa. You don't block somebody.

Damn. Yeah. My biggest one is when people are trying to say, like, I know how to do this and they spell no N-O. Like, that is, like, it's so simple. And you're forcing your autocorrect to spell things wrong now because you're not even letting them do the right word. You're X-ing it out and doing the wrong word.

So it's just, it doesn't take nothing but two seconds to learn how to sell something. And I'm the king of I know. I'm like I-N-O, I-N-O. I just, I don't know. I-N-O. It's better I know, I-K-N-O-W. I just do I know.

This is easier, especially when you're doing a million and one things. Hello, who's this? This your boy D from the Bronx. What's going on? Oh, I know. I can tell your grandma's all over the place, bro. You already.

You already. It's good, though. You already. You already. Hey, look, as far as my relationship go, you know, me and my wife, we laugh at things like that.

That's good for the relationship. You know what I mean? And when I say things like, you know, you very inconsiderate, she says, spell it! And I be like, you know what, girl? Spell considerate, brother.

Hey, stop playing with me, DJ Envy. All right, bro. Thank you, man. Hey, my guy. What? Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Kelsey. How are you guys?

Hey, Kelsey. We're talking about grandma when it comes to a relationship. What do you think? I totally agree with whoever submitted that email. It's annoying. I hate when people say then instead of then. Like, oh, I was going there, but then or then. It's so, ugh, turn off.

It's a turn off. So if I put meet me here, H-E-A-R, and it's the jewelry store, because I want to buy you a goddamn 20-carat ring to propose to you, you're not going to meet me here. H-E-A-R. Can you spell carrot? Good point. Can you spell carrot? K-A-R-A-T. Thank you, mama.

What's the moral of the story, man? Is there a moral of the story? Listen, y'all, make the effort. That's all I'm saying. At least try to, there's no reason that you should be spelling things wrong because we have autocorrect, we have Google, we have all these tools to make sure that we can do things properly. And you have kids. You shouldn't be texting your kids improperly.

You want them to do better. But I'm talking to the phone now. I learned to just talk to the phone. Talk to text. Push the mic thing and just talk to it. Whatever you got to do. I do have one more of all my sarcastic people out there. What?

Sometimes, you know, sometimes your sarcastic comment can be completely ruined by your inability to use correct grammar. And it's nothing worse than getting a nice witty sarcastic comment off and realizing that you put some bad grammar in there so it didn't even land the way you wanted it to land. My goodness. Okay. Alright. Now we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, let's talk about R. Kelly.

If you guys are looking forward to seeing him in concert, maybe it won't happen. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. All right.

I'm ready to get the hell out of here so I can go see Avengers Infinity War because I ain't get to go see it this weekend. Okay. Are you going by yourself or are you taking your daughter? No, I'm going to take my daughter and me and my wife. She has school, so you have to wait anyway. She gets her school book. Listen, I already got my tickets booked, baby.

Fandango. All right. 3.30, I will be in there. You know what? Fandango will be in Fandango. You know what? Nah, ain't no Fandango. I wish I was. All right, well, let's get to the rumors.

Very average size penis. Seven inches, three-four. All right. We don't care. Eight minutes more. R. Kelly. It's cold. It's time, time, time.

She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, R. Kelly's upcoming performance has been canceled. It was supposed to be at the University of Illinois at Chicago, but they had a petition to prevent him from performing at the college. On Ticketmaster's website, it says, R. Kelly is no longer performing. Now, R. Kelly wants to apologize for some of these canceled concerts. Here he is.

First of all, I want to apologize to all my fans in Chicago and basically all around the world, wherever I'm performing at, and they cancel me. I don't know why they canceled the show. I never heard of a show being canceled because of homeless. I guess it's the first time for everything, so I apologize to you guys. In the meantime, I'm going to try to get to the bottom line of it as far as my lawyers are concerned and see exactly what happened and why I was canceled. I can tell you what happened. Yeah, you peed on a little girl.

That's what happened on tape a long time ago. You got a history of dating underage girls and statutory rape. That's why the show got canceled. Now, the Time's Up campaign is doing this whole hashtag mute R. Kelly campaign as well, and they did an open letter that was posted on social media and on The Root where they said, we demand appropriate investigations and inquiries

into the allegations of R. Kelly's abuse made by women of color and their families for over two decades now, and we declare with great vigilance and a united voice to anyone who wants to silence us. Their time is up. Well, finally, y'all attempting to cancel the right person, okay? Because R. Kelly should have been canceled a long time ago.

Now, we actually had John Legend, and he talked about R. Kelly and what happened when music, some R. Kelly music was played in his home. Here's what he said. He's canceled in our home. Right. Sad day in our home. He literally called himself the Pied Piper. Yes!

That's all I'm saying, John. Right there in front of us all along. That was sick. But you know what? I hate y'all. It's actually really not getting canceled. It's been taking so long. I mean, the thing is, it's almost too late because he's well past his prime anyway.

So the money he was going to make has already been made pretty much. We had a party. A DJ was playing a song at my house. I was like, turn that off. How many times have I said that on this radio? The was playing a song at my house. I was like, turn that off. How many times have I said that on this radio? The man wrote a song

called AJ number the number. He called himself the Pied Piper. The Pied Piper led a bunch of kids out of a village never to be seen again. Now all of a sudden

when John Legend said it means something, he said it better than you. I think a lot of people have said it. Shut up. He said it better than you. Now Bill Cosby

is mentally preparing himself to go to prison, potentially. If I was Bill, I'd just die on all of y'all right now. You just can't die on somebody. Bill Gottlieb spoke to Page Six, and he said,

you know, when they sent me to that place, I want you to be there to tell my story because it seems no one is listening. No one wants the real story. Bill, you ain't going to make it to prison. Ask the Grim Reaper for the check, please, Bill. Get on. It's okay. You lived a long life, sir.

And, you know, he's out on bail right now, and I'm sure he's going to be trying to go ahead and appeal this and we'll see what happens. But according to the judge, he will be sentenced within 75 days. In the meantime, he has to undergo a sexually violent predator assessment as well. And he's on house arrest. He faces up to 30 years behind bars. So what about all these other people like Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose, Bill O'Reilly and Harvey Weinstein, Roger Ailes, Donald Trump. Get those charges going. I mean, Jesus Christ.

You know, that's what you got to do. Bill Cosby is 80 years old now, and these things date back to the 60s. That's right. You give that man a year in jail is like saying life. Never too late. All right. Kim Kardashian was on Ellen, and she spoke about the whole Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson situation. Here's what she had to say.

It's just so f***ed up. We really were rooting for Khloe, and we still are. You know, she's so strong, and she's doing the best that she can. It's a really sad situation. I kind of made this rule with my brother. If there's a baby involved, I'm going to, like to keep it cute and keep it classy and not talk too bad. I'm going to try not to say anything so negative because one day

True is going to see this and it's so messed up. So she made that rule with her brother, so I guess that means she can't say nothing too bad about Blac Chyna. Who's her brother? Rob Kardashian. Stop it. Alright, Cardi B. She was at the Broccoli City Festival and she, I guess, is having some issues,

and she cannot wait to have this baby because she got some new beef. Here's what she said. Yes, bitch. We gonna be forever. Yeah. You know what? Ever since I got pregnant,

all of a sudden, I got this new beef. Wait till I drop this baby. What's good? Who's she talking about? I don't know. We don't know who this new beef is with, but she can't wait to drop this baby so she can address it. Gosh, Cardi.

All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we got the People's Choice Mix. Let me know what you want to hear. Still lying to the people, huh? 5-8-5-1-0-5.

They have lied to the people that they have a choice in this matter. They do. Shout out to Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, we're going to start to mix off with my next single. This is Her. Now, listen.

This is the People's Choice Mix. Who chose this record? Actually, I really like Her. You don't even know this record was coming out. A lot. I told you and you said you wanted to hear it. I'm excited to hear it because I'm a big fan of Her. See?

Wow. I'm a big fan of Envy, too. You know what? This is Her featuring Chris Brown. It's The Breakfast Club. Good 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.
