The Breakfast Club - Its All About Growth ( Jeezy Interview and more)

Episode Date: November 20, 2020

Today on the show it was only right to have Jeezy call in after an intense vs battle between him and Gucci last night. He spoke on the moment where Gucci played his diss record to Jeezy, understanding growth and no falling back into bad patterns and more. Also, we had the new senior advisor to the President elect Cedric Richmond where they spoke about the new position and what to look forward to. Also Charlamagne gave a much needed hee haw to Rudy Giuliani for his embarassing drip of hair dye or maybe it was something else.

Friday before Halloween. Don't the night after Versus feel like you've been in the club all night? Yes. It definitely does. It feels like you've been out till 3 in the morning partying your ass off, man. It definitely does. Packed ass club. But it was amazing versus last night. Give him a round of applause one time. I thought it was great.

I thought it was great. Drop on the Clues bombs for Jeezy and Gucci. I think it was great. I mean, they had us waiting about, what, 45, 50 minutes, but that was cool. Those two legends could do that. I just thought it was great. I mean, they had us waiting about, what, 45, 50 minutes, but that was cool. Those two legends could do that. I just thought it was great. Magic City set up. Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect atmosphere for it, Magic City.

Stacey Abrams started the battle. She was at Magic City? No, no, no. She was on the screen. She was on the screen. A lot of people thought that was awkward. It was a little awkward. Yeah, but I like when the worlds collide.

You know what I mean? Like, I want to see, I want us to start, like, making those people the stars. People like Stacey Abrams, you know what I'm saying? People like the Tamika Mallories of the world. Like, you know, we've been letting the rappers and the athletes and everybody lead for a long time. So I think we need to start using our platforms to shine some light on them. Like, Jesus Christ, she flipped the whole state blue. Helped flip the whole, one of the people that helped flip the whole state blue.

And got a new president because of it. Yeah. And we still have elections coming up in Georgia. So let's not forget that. That's what she was there talking about. That's what she encouraged people to vote. Encouraged people to get out there and vote. I like it.

I just thought the battle was dope. Going back and forth. The music sounded great. Gucci was being Gucci. You gotta love it. Jeezy was being Jeezy. It was, I mean,

and there was so many records that they could have played that they didn't play. They both left a lot on the table. They left a lot on the table. They both left a lot on the table.

So they won. Jeezy. Jeezy won. Jeezy won. Yeah, Jeezy won. If you had to go back and forth. But I mean, they had so many hits.

When they did perform the last song together, I was like, it's over? They still had so many freaking songs. So many records left on the table. But, you know, Jeezy's one of my top seven favorite rappers of all time. His catalog is amazing.

The first two mixtapes, Screech is Watching, Trap or Die, Into the TM-101, The Inspiration, The Recession, TM-103. Phenomenal. Phenomenal bodies of work. And they had 1.8 million people on Instagram Live. I thought they cracked two at one point. Did they? I didn't see the cracking of two.

So are these numbers, because I know they show it on like Apple also. Is that cumulative? No, no, no. It's just Instagram Live. They do the cumulative later. So like in a couple days, they'll have all the total numbers. Like I watch it on Apple. I don't even watch it on the phone no more.

Yeah? Yeah, the Apple experience is amazing. Yeah, no. You know, you're at the crib. You're watching it on TV. You know, it's a real event. I watch it on the phone. you're watching it on TV. You know, it's a real event. I watch it on the phone. I watch it on TV.

I just really hope the moment leads to, like, some real healing for both Jeezy and Gucci Man. Because you say what you want, that's a traumatic experience that happened. You know what I'm saying? The beef that led up to, you know, what happened that night, you know, God bless the dead. Like, that, yeah, that was a traumatic experience. It had to be for both of those individuals. Yeah. You living with that hurt, you living with that pain for a long time on both sides.

Yeah. And it was some young, dumb stuff. You know what I mean? 20 years ago. Yeah. But somebody's gone because of it. And I just pray to God that, you know, what they say stays right there, that they leave it right there on that stage.

I want them to go on tour together. I think that's what the play is. I think the play is they all going to go on tour when this world opens back up. And I think that'll be dope. You think so? Yeah, absolutely. If they get to a real place of healing. I think last night might have been a start.

I love when Gucci said, thank you for extending the olive branch. I accept it. You know what I mean? Because that was bigger, Mr. Jenkins, to extend that olive branch, and it was even bigger for Gucci to accept it. It's probably cool that y'all can be in the same place and do that, but go on tour together?

I mean, because now it's about the money. Get the money. They can make a lot of money. Probably more money than they ever made on tour. If those two go with each other. And add tip and do a trap tour. You know what I mean? The Kings of Trap or something like that? They don't even have to add Tip.

They can just go on their own. Gucci and Jeezy, they don't need any other artists. I'd put Tip on there too, though. The only thing with Tip is how do you, you know, is Tip going to open up for them?

I wonder about Tip. You can't open up for them. Tip can't open up for them. I wonder about Tip's temperament, though. I mean, Gucci and Tip got to iron some things out as well. I don't think Tip would have handled that

as well as Jeezy did. Let me be honest with you. I don't think Tip would have handled that as well as Jeezy did. Let me be honest with you. I don't think Tip would have handled that as well as Jeezy did. Hell no! And you gotta give Jeezy like a round of applause for real because Jeezy was calm. Because it could have went any which way. You know, I felt like Jeezy was prepared. Like, I think

everybody knew that, you know, one person was going to get disrespectful. I feel like Jeezy was prepared for that. He was prepared. Yeah, but even still, no matter how much you prepare, that was harsh last night. Yeah, because it just wasn't the song. It was everything after the song. But we'll get more into it because I know we have a lot going on this morning.

So shout out to Jeezy. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I forgot we got a whole show. Yeah, Tip would have been able to hold that down like that. No, I don't think so. All right, well, front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about Georgia.

They have confirmed Biden's victory. And after an investigation, no widespread fraud. Today's Biden's birthday, too. He's 97 years old. Let's go, America. Stop it. He's one of the founding fathers. It's the breakfast club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Georgia. They finished their statewide audit of the presidential race,

and Biden still beat Trump by 12,284 votes. They said Georgia's historic first statewide audit reaffirmed that the state's new secure paper ballot voting system accurately counted and reported results they actually had to confirm everything by today and certify their election results they said in all there were more than 5,800 uncounted votes that were uncovered which was 1,400 were for Donald Trump who said the discoveries were proof of wrongdoing which is wrong and they said this is just really accidents caused by human error. It's not indicative of fraud or vote rigging or anything.

And they actually account for a certain amount of results that would be the expected margin of human error. Yeah, I mean, nobody thought otherwise, right? We all pretty much knew that, you know, Joe Biden had won Georgia. I just thought it was crazy because Trump was acting like it was a re-election last night. He was tweeting about the GD Gucci battle, like trying to get Georgia on his side. That was wild to me.

Well, now the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, has until 5 p.m. Saturday to sign the paperwork that officially grants those votes to Biden. Man, God, Brian Kemp's family. OK, Trump might have somebody tied up in a basement from Brian Kemp's family right now. OK, telling him to make the right decision. All right. All right. And the United States has reported 187,833 new coronavirus cases on Thursday.

That's the highest one-day total since the pandemic began. Wow. So I know everybody's getting ready for the holidays, but they are recommending that you do not travel for Thanksgiving. Yeah, and not only not travel, but not travel, not go to dinners even locally. They don't want nobody, I think more than six people in the crib or seven people in the house. I know they shut down New York City public schools. I know if you go to college, if you're in school, they're saying if you go home for Thanksgiving,

you might as well stay until January because you got to quarantine for 14 days and then you have your winter recess. So it's a lot going on. So please be safe out there. You said public schools are closed in Jersey? My daughter's school. I think they had a case. It was some type of contact tracing and somebody was close to somebody. Oh, in your daughter's school.

Yeah. No, no. My kid's school is still open. All right. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Let's talk.

Did you see the battle last night? What were your thoughts? You got things to get off your chest. You feel good. You want to send some positivity around. Whatever it may be, call us up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Say it, say it with your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, DJ Envy, Charlamagne, Angela.

He is Travi out of North Carolina. How y'all doing? Hey, Travi. Hey, what's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Hey, I just wanted to, like, really congratulate those two young brothers last night on that beat that they canceled, man. I love seeing that,

and I just wish my little cousin had died. He loves Dizzy and Gucci. I wish he could have seen them squash that beat. Same. I love to debate that all the time.

Who better? Yeah, I don't think people understand how monumental that was last night because I think a lot of people really, truly don't know the history of either one of them brothers, you know,

especially if you weren't down south. But what we saw last night was extremely monumental, and I really hope it leads to some real healing between both of them. Absolutely. Oh, my God, yeah. So needed. And I just hope that the young generation can just watch that and model that and just see that, like, man, it's a brighter light at the end of the tunnel.

We can just make it there and work together. Yeah. You know, let's do this, bro. You're right. We need each other, you know? Who do you think won, though? Let's get to some N-word stuff. Who do you think won, EZ?

I got to say EZ won that. I agree. It was close. It was close. When EZ played the inspirationiration Jeezy song, it was like 10 o'clock. Everybody in the house was sleeping. Girl, you know, I yelled out loud,

Let's go! Thank you, brother. I want to hear everybody else, you know. Hey, you know, Jeezy, man, shout out to you. Shout out to you, Gucci. Hey, I love y'all. Thanks for killing that beat. But show me these young brothers how to do it right, you know? Thank you, Gucci. Hey, I love y'all. Thanks for killing that V.

But show these young brothers how to do it right, you know? Thank you, brother. I mean, I can see them. I mean, they both have marketing minds. And I can both see them going on tour. I can see them doing a mixtape or album to set up that tour. You got to add tip, though. And the reason you got to add tip is, you know,

even though half of the black population is down south, like, you want to take that tour more than just the south, right? But, I mean, no. I mean, they could do that tour anywhere. But the problem with- How when y'all don't even though half of the black population is down south, like, you want to take that tour more than just the south, right? I mean, no. I mean, they could do that tour anywhere. But the problem with- How? When y'all don't even know half the records? I know all the Jeezy records.

And I know- You said you know all the Gucci records? I know most of Gucci records. Oh, okay. You said she didn't know a lot of them. But I know most of the Jeezy records. But where do you put Tip in that category? Tip can't open up for T.I. and Jeezy.

I mean, none of them can open up for each other. Right, but they can go back and forth and go soaring for soaring for soaring. The last soaring they do is icy. That would be dope. That's what Jay-Z and I did. They can do a best of both traps. Yeah, but you can't do that. T.I. can't open up.

T.I. got to close that. Why do you keep saying T.I. got to open? I said he can't open up. They can switch nights. They can do different nights. I don't know. Jay-Z come out first one night, Gucci, Tip. They can rotate.

I don't know. Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Kiana calling from eastern Pennsylvania. Hey, Kiana rotate. I don't know. Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Kiana calling from eastern Pennsylvania. Hey, Kiana, get off your chest. I just wanted to talk about the battle a little bit. For me, I think it started off amazing. You could tell that Jeezy was in his element.

He was cool, calm, collective. You could tell by Gucci, he was like on edge from start. He didn't sit down that one time. That's just Gucci. I don't think he was on edge. I just think that's him. No, I don't think so. I think he came for the match.

I agree with you. When he hit below the belt when he played that song, that was real below the belt. And GZ schooled his butt and let him know what it was. Like, if you want to come up here and accept my olive branch, like, don't do me like that. And I think that was uncalled for on his part.

He did not have to play that. That song was disrespectful. He ain't got no points for me. I think he's still dealing, I think he's still, I mean, he's dealing with a lot of trauma. Who want, no, don't hang up on her. I want to know what you think won.

She said Jeezy already. I'm answering for her. She said it started off nice. You know what? But it's funny. You read TMZ's caption. It's just the funniest thing. What is it?

Welp, Gucci Mane went there. He played truth. His infamous diss track boasting about it. I don't want to hear from no white people about this battle. Shut up. Take all that, man. Take your mayonnaise and walk away from our culture right now today. We don't want to hear nothing y'all got to say about us today, white people.

It just feels... Okay? Jeezy immediately stood up. walk away from our culture right now today. We don't want to hear nothing y'all got to say about us today, white people. Jeezy immediately stood up, but instead of charging at Gucci or threatening violence, he hit back with a speech about why they were doing this battle. It's just funny as hell to see TMZ writing about this. I know a white person wrote that. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

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 still have the off-road portion to go.

We got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to dispel some rumors that were floating around, and that is about Boosie. And also, we'll be talking about Nelly and Dancing with the Stars. He's doing some big things there, but we'll tell you what he has on the table next. All right. And also, Jeezy will be joining us this morning. We're going to kick it with

Jeezy. We're going to talk to Jeezy after last night's versus battle. I don't believe it. He has a new project out right now. I don't believe it. No, he's on the line. Oh, he is? Yeah, we're going to talk to him in a second. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee. Well, despite the rumors, Boosie is not getting his foot amputated after shooting, getting shot in the leg. Surgeons didn't remove his foot, so people were saying that he was supposed to get his leg amputated, all kinds of issues, but it's not true. That's good. Drop on the clues bombs for Gucci because he's diabetic.

So things like that can go bad when situations like that happen. Absolutely. I'm happy for Gucci. Yeah, they did have to get together a diet to make sure he would be fine while under anesthesia. He ended up taking 24 hours to decide if he even wanted the procedures done. So fake news. His leg is not amputated. Amen. Alright, now, I don't know if y'all

have been watching Nelly on Dancing with the Stars, but you know he got a perfect score from the judges the other night, right? I didn't see the last one with Nelly. What did he have to dance to? Um, what's that? I'm trying to remember what he was dancing to. Man, I don't remember. But, um, because this was on Monday.

And he got a perfect score, and he's actually going to be going into the final round like we told't remember. But this was on Monday. And he got a perfect score. And he's actually going to be going into the final round, like we told you previously. But after all of that, he'll be acting again. He'll be starring as rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry in the upcoming Buddy Holly biopic. Okay. Nelly definitely has it. That makes sense, because Chuck Berry from St. Louis, right? I wonder if he can pull it off, though.

Can Nelly act? I don't remember. I've never seen Nelly in nothing. I think Nelly did a movie before. Yeah, he's acted before. He did a couple movies before. Well, right? I wonder if he can pull it off, though. Can Nelly act? I don't remember. I've never seen Nelly in nothing. I think Nelly did a movie before. Yeah, he's acted before. He did a couple movies before. Well, we know he can dance now. I haven't seen him.

Chuck Berry, that's a hell of a role to have to play. But, I mean, they're both from St. Louis, if I'm not mistaken. All right, Neo and Crystal detailed their marriage proposal that almost did not work out the way they anticipated. Now, Neo had asked one of Crystal's friends for some help, and she was going to bring the ring to him, and here's what he had to say on OWN TV's Behind Every Man. It was a homegirl of hers that knew the jeweler

that I got the rings from. So her homegirl was like, I'll come and get the ring to you. She won't see me. She won't know. So she shows up, but she knocks on the door. So I answer the door, and it's an acquaintance. Mind you, she lives in Texas. We were in Florida. I was like, so you took a flight all the way from Texas, and how did you get upstairs?

Oh, uh, your man, uh, got me on the room, whatever, and I have a room on your floor. Err. Pump your brakes. Listen, man, you got to put a lot of thought into that proposal, my brothers. You know what I'm saying? That proposal means something. And I have a room on your floor. Pump your brakes. Listen, man, you got to put a lot of thought into that proposal, my brothers. You know what I'm saying? That proposal means something, you know? Well, imagine some strange woman, well, not strange,

but your friend shows up to where you are and you open the door. This is what happened when Crystal opened the door. Here's what she had to say. So it turned into, okay, wait a minute, you here for him? Wait, what? Okay, what the hell is this? When did y'all exchange numbers? And see the temperature rising, rising, rising. I'm like, oh, damn.

No, she was going. I don't lie well under pressure at all. And at that point, I was full of adrenaline. So it was about to get physical. He kind of just intervened and like honestly and just proposed with the ring and i was like well damn you could at least let me get my nails done at least he thought it through he tried to plan something right he tried he probably shouldn't have had her show up to the house because then crystal opened the door and was like why is my

friend here yeah and was ready to fight because it looks suspicious. Oh, that's even better, though. No, it's not. Because you got that extreme high of, I'm going to F this girl up. I'm here because he's proposing to you. Then you're like, oh, you know, it's a good move. Right. Well, it did work out, clearly.

All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Now, keep it locked. When we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? We'll talk about Apple. They're going to be paying $113 million, and we'll tell you why.

All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Jeezy will be checking in in about five minutes. Straight off of Versus, so we're going to be kicking it with Jeezy.

But right now, let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Apple. They have agreed to pay $113 million to 34 states, and that's because they would deliberately slow down older iPhones to extend their battery life. So now, after an investigation, and Apple wasn't transparent about their battery problems.

And then there were unexpected device shutdowns. Why did they give it to the states and not the people? I think you have to, you ever get those notices in the mail? About what? They're like, you can claim this money. Oh, a class action lawsuit. I don't be paying them no attention. I didn't start paying them attention.

No, but it'd be like a dollar. You get a dollar or 99 cents or $2.03. It't be paying them no attention. I need to start paying them attention. No, but it'd be like a dollar. You get a dollar or 99 cents or $2.03. It'd be so low, but... Well, you better cash in. I'm going to cash in on that dollar.

All right, now, managers at a Tyson meat plant, this is disgusting. They had a betting pool on how many of the workers would end up getting coronavirus, according to a lawsuit.

What kind of bet is that? Right. Who wins that? So this was, most managers at the Waterloo facility, they started avoiding the plant floor because they were scared they would get the virus. This was back in late March or early April. And then while the virus was spreading on the meatpacking floor, managers gave their duties to low-level supervisors who had no management training, no experience.

And then, according to this suit, the allegation is that the supervisors also canceled safety meetings. And then after learning about positive cases in the plant, they told other supervisors to deny that these cases existed, according to this lawsuit. And all at the same time, they were taking bets on how many people would get sick. That's crazy. And then they had a cash buy-in, winner-take-all betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager how many employees would test positive. How awful is that?

That's crazy. What was the point? Like, what led to that? Like, what led to them saying, you know what? Let's bet on how many people get sick. Stupid. Humans are humans, boy. I'm about to say nigs going nig, but, you know,

I keep telling y'all the N-word ain't just about color. All right? Because that's some nigg stuff right there. Yeah, I just can't believe that these are people's lives that we're talking about here. Humans are strange individuals. All right, and we know the holidays are coming up next week, and I do want to tell you guys the cases of coronavirus. Again,

we have had a record number, 187,000 in a single day. So that is the highest surge that we have had a record number, 187,000 in a single day. So that is the highest surge that we've had thus far since the pandemic began. So they are saying, do not travel if you don't have to. We just are advising against that. So I was planning to go

away, and I think I'm just not going to now because... You'll be stuck. Yeah, well, no, you just gotta keep it safe. Alright, well, that is your Front be stuck. Yeah, well, no, you just got to keep it safe. All right, well, that is your front page news. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Jeezy will be joining us.

Jay Jenkins. Straight off of his versus battle last night. New project, straight from the club. Recession 2. They were in compound last night. New album, Recession 2.

So we're going to talk to Jeezy when we come back, all right? So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line right now. Just finished the Versus. Just finished it being in the club last night. And now he's up with us. Jeezy, Big Snow. Good morning.

Yeah, Big Snow. How do you feel this morning, Big Snow? I mean, I'm just really just, you know, a lot went on last night as far as, you know, just the album coming out. Definitely Versus and just running around, just doing promos. I ain't even i ain't came to grips with nothing yet it's all all together it's like a blur baby did you have a plan because you knew you knew what records he was gonna play or you could assume what records he was gonna play

so what was the plan i mean the plan was how i felt you know i i my my my songs are my life so you know that's what anybody you know i'm quite sure you know any artists feel that way but like for me like i i i know what i put my blood sweat and tears into my music so i could have played any songs like that wasn't the case but it was just how i was gonna feel when when to see what type of emotions um any of these records brought back up that either one of us played you know what i'm saying so it was more of a mental thing for me, you know, and it took a lot for me mentally because I'm in a place in my career where, like, I am from the streets, you know what I'm saying? And I have done and said a lot of things, and I just had to make a decision, like, you know,

either it's going to be about what I see going on or how I can contribute to letting people understand, like, it's bigger than us. The goal wasn't to get rich. Just for all the things you see. What's going on in the world today. That Vaughn thing really touched me. It did.

I know Dirk well. I was actually proud of them. It was surreal to get that call. Them kids, man. Them babies. It ain't got to be that way. It was a to get that call. Them kids, man, them babies. You know what I'm saying? Like, and it ain't got to be that way. You know what I'm saying? So it was a lot of that and what happened to MO3.

What happened to Boosie. It was a crazy week and you're just watching all these things happen and you're just like, damn, you know. You know, it's just real. You know what I'm saying? And it's just like, it's an unselfish moment. You know, it's like a catch-22 because you have some people like, yo, man, you could have put it like, dog, like, I don't know what to tell you.

Like, I'm rich. You know what I'm saying? I'm grown. And I want to see everybody, I want to see all y'all live to make it to be in a position like myself. So I'm not going to tell you nothing different. So it was that, you know. It was real, bro, because, you know, you could have walked away

and it could have been all bad. You know what I'm saying? And it's like my legacy on my people. Let me tell you something, I'm proud of you. I'm glad you didn't leave with ego last night. You didn't move off emotion. You moved with strategy. And like you just said, you made a

conscious decision to leave the b**** to the side. Do you think last night will lead to a real moment of healing between you and Gucci? I do. Because as men, you know what I'm saying? God, it's been going on almost a decade. It was two decades. And it was a point where we, you know, we was

you know, we were cool. You know what I'm saying? And I just think everybody got in the middle of us. And you know, not to say what happened or try to, you know, the real say what happened or try to, you know, the real s*** went on. Like, that's just something me and him going to have to, you know, figure out later on.

But for y'all, it's just like, you know, I understand that the more and more and more and more it goes on, the worse it's going to be because we like the forefront of it. So anybody behind us think that's the way to go. So it was like, for me me it's just like you know we just got to see you know time heals all you know but that that was that was the effort it's like it's fun in the world like you know what i'm saying it ain't even for show you know it's real life it's just like you know we both got to come to grips with that you know what i'm saying like

we both got to really be men well break down the call how it happened i know you you know you came on the breakfast club a week ago and you said you said the first battle was supposed to be, you reached out to Gucci, you had Swiss reach out to Gucci, and he respectfully declined, and then it was supposed to be the TI. So when did things change? How did that happen? I mean, to be honest with you, from what I hear, he did respectfully decline, which I respect. You know what I'm saying? No disrespect.

And I guess he looked at it the way I looked at it, just like, yo, bro, there ain't nobody else they want to see us with and and for once at least mentally it can be about the music and um to you know instead of uh uh it just being me and him and our personal feelings like now you got the world watching so I felt like as a man I wasn't gonna going to not do it because of what happened, because that's what the platform is for. You know what I'm saying? It's like you get to referee it. Because look how big that was.

And I didn't realize it until a minute away, but look how big. Because it was more so like, yo, we're going to have to sit in the same room. It's got to happen. And look how big what we started 20 years ago, 15 years ago, how big it got to, it's almost like the whole world had to sit us down and be like, okay, so what y'all going to do? You know what I'm saying? And that wasn't the first time you and Gucci tried to reconcile over the years, though.

Right, right, right, right. I mean, you know, it's always got to that point. You know what I'm saying? Like, tried, you know. I mean, you know, it's always got to that point. We, you know what I'm saying? Like, tried, you know what I mean? But it's just like, responsibly. Now, it's like, if you go back on your word, it ain't just me and, you know, somebody you know who's trying to figure it out.

It's the whole world. So, as men, it's just like, we look crazy. Right. And we're going to leave it where it's at. That's the whole thing. Like, look, we're going to leave it here. And Magic City, I chose Magic City because it was legendary for me. You know, rest in peace to DJ Nando. Like, my whole career was

broke there. When I was going there spending my money and doing the things I was doing to get my career up, it started there. You know, and a lot of the things that happened with us started there. You know what I'm saying? So it was almost like, we're going to go in this building. It's mutual. We both know what it is, and we're going to walk in as men, and we can walk out as men or not. You know what I'm saying? And my choice was to walk out as a man, and I feel like at the end of it, that was the choice on both sides. Now, there were some disrespectful moments,

so I wanted to ask you what was going on through your head, and how did you maintain your composure? Hold on, GZ. Let's answer that when we come back. 800-585-1051. GZ is here. Album out right now, straight off of Versus. So we'll talk to him when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. 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 create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my 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 warheads. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes, yeah. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Jeezy. He's here straight off of Versus last night.

Now, Yee, you had a question, Yee? Yeah, so, Jeezy, I was asking, there were some disrespectful moments, and I wanted to know what was going on through your head and how you maintained your composure. I looked at it like, you know, we ain't sixth graders. You know, like we can't antagonize me with something that

we both understand. You know, because I'm not in the same mental space as I was 20 years ago. Nor can I let you take me there. You know what I'm saying? Like, that would have been the biggest upset in my life because I have self-control and I'm very self-aware.

And it's just like, hold up, man. Like, if that were the case, we might not even came here. You know what I'm saying? So in my mind, I didn't feel no way about it because I've already heard the songs. I already know what the situation, people may think of the situation, and you know that as well. So you can't antagonize me with that, you know, live and think that you're going to get a response

because I'm not that same person I was 20 years ago when that's how things got out of, spiraled out of control anyway. Right. It's like I've practiced, I've done a, and anybody know anything about me? Like, Solomon, you know, like I've took the last 10 years to better myself because of a lot of things that happened in my life. And I just promised myself I would never put myself in those positions again because when you react and somebody gets you off your square and you're acting out of anger or you're acting out of anxiety, it's normally not the right decision. And I'm from the gutter.

Let me tell you something. I'm from the gutter. I've been there. Every day I've fought. I've worked. I've grinded. I've fought, you know, I've worked, I've grinded, I've did everything, yeah, to get my people and myself, you know, out of that. And I can't let my anger take me back there.

So for me, it was more so like, it was a moment of truth for me. It got a little sticky. I ain't going to front. It got a little sticky. You can really go in and be who you are. You got to be somebody you never, you know, became and just be like, yo, man, at this point, I, like, you know, we, I can't even do that with you. So I'm going to be, I'm going to be the, I'm going to be the, the mature person in

this situation to say, dog, like, I'm not going to go back and forth with you in front of the world about something that we could have talked about in our personal space and worked out so it was a hard decision like i came in front like i it was like one of those things like damn man like and i don't do disrespect easy but it's just like for for them kids that i'm seeing dying and for these mamas and you know for for this to be happening and you know and and you watching it's like they don't even care. You know what I'm saying? So it's like I got at least care.

And that was my position. I care about them more than I care about how people are going to look at me. That's the decision I had to make. I had to take the disrespect and be like, yo, man, listen. And just draw the line there. And I believe you and Gucci still got trauma from that whole situation. Have you ever put yourself in Gucci's shoes, though? Like, you have to know why he feels the way he feels.

I mean, not to, you know, because street code and street ethics is that. You know what I'm saying? So not to get into it because there's still a lot there and it's fresh. That's the conversation. Like, that's where it get real grown man at. And I'm not opposed to that. At this point, I'm not opposed to any of that. Well, congratulations.

Y'all broke a record last night. Hold on, I want to hear him talk about it. He said you're not opposed to what, Gooch? Having that conversation to see how his whole take on all, even the chain of events was. You know what I'm saying? Because there's been times where I'm quite sure he probably felt, you know, like, you just never know.

You know, everybody, you know, it was tense where I'm quite sure he probably felt, you know, like, you know, you just never know. You know, everybody, you know, it was tense, I'm saying, throughout these years. So, like, no, I'm quite sure he don't know how I look at it. You know, so that's the real conversation we got to have as men. Now, I was going to ask, last night y'all had the after party. Did y'all go to both? Did y'all go to the after party? Were y'all in the section where y'all had different sections? What was the conversation after versus when y'all pieced it up?

Did y'all have a conversation after or was it just we don't have to say anything? We know what it is. I mean, it was, you know, a party. It was Atlanta, man. You can't, you know how it is. I mean, I had to get out. I stayed, but, you know, I ain't sitting in a mask for me. Ain't no COVID in Atlanta.

They had the vaccine already. I'm like, my God. So I get paranoid like you see it I'm like, my God. So I get paranoid. Like, you see it in the air. You know? But no, it was crazy. So it wasn't that. And just so y'all know, like, you know, just out of being a real one, out of being a solid person, like, I can't speak on something that happened, you know, almost eight hours ago with clarity that I haven't sat down and really thought about.

So I don't want to say nothing, you know what I'm saying, that ain't real. You know what I'm saying? I just got to get clarity for myself because I got to play it out how it played out for me, too, as well. I just got a couple more questions about that situation. Do you regret anything you said on Stay Scrapped? I got to be honest with you, like, son of a man. Like, I came to rest with that so long ago, but I don't even, like, I don't even listen to it.

You know what I mean? Like, to me, it's like, obviously, I felt like that one day. I did. You know? But that was 15 years ago. You know what I'm saying? It's just like, you know, I wrote a lot of songs 15 years ago. I ain't thinking about that, you know? And Jeezy, how much real estate do you own in Atlanta?

A lot. A lot, a lot, you know? A lot. I'm probably one of the top, if not the top, I know, especially for what I do,

that owns real estate downtown, midtown, you know, throughout Atlanta. Like, that's a big thing for me. A lot of people don't know that because it's quiet for me, but I've been on it. You know, I own city blocks, you know, you name it. You know, it's crazy, but that's, like I said, again, you know, that's who I am as a person.

Like, I'm into things like that I just don't talk about them all the time so you just got to be from that world to know so when you know like that you know geez you know real estate I mean we have those conversations but when you said it last night he was like you know I own half a land I just I just I thought it was funny yeah but I mean I was being real though hey man you know I I don't I don't have 20 chains I ain't got time to buy stuff like that it's hard taking them things off but, man, you know, I don't have 20 chains. I ain't got time to buy stuff like that. It's hard taking them things off. But I tell you, you know, when it comes to those houses

and those subdivisions and those duplexes, I mean, we can get into that, you know, all day. I love it. You know, the only person I probably, you know, me and Emmy need to get in there and go back and forth. You know what I'm saying? Anytime you want to do it, Emmy. I got it.

I got a couple schools. I'm ready. You know, you got a song on the new album, Recession 2, called Nigga. Yeah. I'm going to ask you a really foolish question because I know the answer. But what inspired that record? Hold on, hold on. We'll do that when we come back.

We're going to do that when we come back. Matter of fact, let's get into the song right now. If a nigga would have walked in there last night, it would have been all bad. Let's get into the song of Jeezy's new album. You can't play this record. Why not? We got the clean version. You cannot play it. You got the clean version? You got the clean version, yeah. can't play this record. Why not? We got the clean version. You cannot play.

You got the clean version? You got the clean version, yeah. It ain't even going to sound right. I got the clean version. We're going to play it. We're going to play it right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. That was Jeezy's song, Nigga. Now, what inspired that, Jeezy? Of my new album are The Breakfast Club. That was Jeezy's song, N***a. Now, what inspired that, Jeezy? Of my new album, The Recession. You know, it's crazy. When I first heard the beat,

I just automatically thought of school days and N***a. You know what I'm saying? I actually thought of Spike Lee to shoot a video. He didn't pick up the phone. Spike called me, man. You know what I'm saying? I know you out there popping bottles celebrating Joe Biden, but you need to get at your dog. I just

personally feel like, and that's the crazy thing, bro, like, as a black man and somebody that's been in all those situations, always just strive to be better. Not to say I can't be me, but it's just certain things that you do that you know what kind of tendencies those are. And it's

okay, but that don't mean you gotta be that way all the time. And that's why a lot of tendencies those are and it's okay but that don't mean you got to be that way all the time and that's why a lot of us don't get invited into the right rooms or the right functions or or or the right things because we all we don't know how to turn it off and my thing is you know at some point you got to have balance with it and that's okay you know what i'm saying you can't just be one way. So the thing that I'm mentioning on the song is basically the things you do when you're in that mode. So just when you get something and you're like,

oh, that's me, you're doing ****. You know what I'm saying? Did you really go to Popeye's and all the legs and they gave you all thighs, though? I do that **** all the time. I'm like, damn. I'm mad to be about your job, dog. I get it.

You know what I'm saying? But it's those things, but it just reminds you of, you know, what we do as a culture just because we feel like it's okay and it's the easy way. So, and no disrespect to, you know, my people, but it's just like some of it, you know, you got to be able to grow out of it. You know what I mean?

Keep a little bit, but grow out of it. Because you can't, you know, you've been somewhere, you've been out and they walk in and you just see like, oh, man, what a man. You know what I mean? Keep a little bit, but grow out of it. Because you can't, you know, you've been somewhere you've been out and they walk in and you just see like, oh man, what a man. You know what I'm saying?

You already know there might be some problems. I've been that person before when I walked in the building, everybody was tense. You know what I mean? I didn't know how to show. You know,

I showed the park since a hundred people with me. It don't take that to come to an event. You know what I'm saying? It don't take, you know, if somebody invites me to a nice dinner, you know, I can't, you know, a nice

dinner and it's intimate and I'm busting down blunts and leaving them on the table and rolling my weed while we're having a conversation. You know, it's just certain things you gotta have etiquette. Right. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Now let's talk about things you got to have etiquette. Right. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Now let's talk about Therapy For My Soul. Yeah. Let's talk about that record. You bring a lot down in that record. Is there anything else to talk about in the record? I felt like I said enough. You know what I'm saying? It's one of those things like, you know what I mean?

Charlamagne talked about therapy, man. Like, even with this situation with Gucci, like, I just wanted to clear about therapy, man. Like, even with this situation with Gucci, like, I just wanted to clear the air, man. I'm just tired of walking around with all this baggage, man, and this mystique and this storylines that everybody think they know. And I'm a man

of integrity, man. Like, I just can't deal. And I did it for two decades, but I just can't deal with the false narratives. You know what I'm saying? Because you're right. I see things, and I did it for two decades, but I just can't deal with the false narratives. You know what I'm saying? Because you're right. I see things the way I see it. And sometimes, you know, I could be in the wrong,

and other times I might not. But if you're not going to sit down and have a conversation with me about it so we can work it out and figure it out, then we're not communicating. So when I'm hearing and doing all these things, and I'm minding my business and trying to build my empire for my loved ones and my employees and the people that's in my circle and all these things going on, it cuts deep when you have integrity. So you have to just keep it because I've been the type, I've been quiet my whole career, Solomon, you know that. And that's like, that was the problem. I don't talk to nobody about that. So even when me and Solomon was talking, he was telling me about what therapy does. I don't talk to nobody about that. So even when me and Charlamagne was talking, he was telling me about what therapy does. I'm like, I can't talk to nobody about this. And the next thing was, let me just write it down. Because I heard that helps.

I just got my pad and I just started writing down how I felt and why I felt like this didn't go the way it should have went. And before I knew it, I had a song. And when I recorded it, I felt better. And then when the world got it, I don't know. I woke up and I just felt lighter, man. Like, I mean, that's my truth. I'm done.

Like, I don't got nothing else to say about nothing. Gotcha. It is what it is. I said what I said. And normally when you go sit down and talk to your therapist, they don't call you when you leave and be like, yeah, you remember you was talking that about that. It's just... Right.

It's just like I felt like the world was my therapist. And I just... Everything I had, everything that was in me that I felt that was like a blockage or a weight, I just said, yo, that's it. You know what I'm saying? I'm done. Like, I don't even want to talk about this no more. I don't even want to get into it no more.

I know everybody going to have things to say, but it's like, I'm done. I'm grown. If you want to see me, it is what it is, but that's how I feel. That's the wild thing about healing, though. Healing is funny, man. Some days you're going to feel like that, and then some days you're going to feel like them same, you know, eternal wounds are still hurting.

You know? It's crazy because you know, trauma is real. That's right. It's a real thing, and a lot of things in my life that happened, you know trauma is real that's right it's a real thing and a lot of things in my life that happened you know i had to be honest with you i started feeling like all these things were blocking people around me i love from their blessing even to me being vulnerable and open and honest because i've been guarded so long you know i'm saying because i've been spurned so many times and it's just like i don't want to do things for people that I know I could and should do because I feel like

they're going to burn me at some point because that's been the history of it. And I'm like, until I get these things off me, I'm going to block people and lay blessings that really love me and really want to see the best or really want me to be my best, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm guarded and it's just like, nah, man, just put it in the air, get that karma

off, you know, let's start new, let's start fresh, we got to oil change. And let's roll, you know? Man, I think the best is yet to come for you and Gucci, man. Because, you know, there is no time stamp on trauma. But, like, when he said last night, I'm happy you extended the olive branch, and I accept it, I was like, man, them brothers about to really get, I think, to a good place.

Could you see yourself doing more business? Going on tour? Album? Mixed tape? I'm going to a good place. Could you see yourself doing more business? Going on tour, album, mixtape? I'm going to tell you how far we came. And this is with my ego aside, I ain't got none. Like I said, we've had situations where I came in that club, he came in that club. Back in the day, everybody was tense and

all this was going on, bro, like in a real time. But for me to hear him say on a stage that you extended the olive branch, let me know where we're headed. I would have never thought in a million years I would have heard that type of verbiage

out of his mouth in Magic City about where we are. You extended the olive branch. Think about that. Yeah, and he accepted. He said, you extended and I accepted. Look at the irony of that. He about that. Yeah, and he accepted. He said, you extended and I accepted. Look at the irony of that. He understands that.

But look how many times we went out in the world to come back where we started to say, you know what? I've seen that. You know what I'm saying? And I was like, damn, what can you say? Even for the people that support us, it's like divided. You gotta take a side.

I'm gonna keep it real. If I'm honest, like, yeah, that's the first time I heard Icy. It was in a while. I'd be like,

hey, all right, cool. It actually sound good. You know, now I can listen to Icy again. And it was just good, man.

You know, like, you know, if I'm honest, it was good. Are the DJs okay with each other now just to see how somebody else's you know run-ins or disagreements can make other people around you

act even even in the in the in the in the hip-hop culture of what we do. You know what I mean? DJs, they probably didn't even play my music because they felt like they rock with him. How many artists who really love what I do wouldn't even come rock with me because it's a line. You're messing with everybody's money. You're messing with everybody's legacy. And it's all because of how two individuals feel about each other.

So you're drawing a line. And one thing I can say, and I'm not trying to be Malcolm X and Martin Luther King up here, but listen, man, I've seen people from Harvard and Yale get money together. I've seen people from IBM and Apple get money together, bro.

At the end of the day, this is about taking care of your family, living long enough to spend some of this money, man, going to see the world, going to do the things that you dreamed of doing, and nothing else really matter. You know what I'm saying? Taking care of your family.

Like, everything else in between is noise. And, you know, if me and Brock can get past, take that first step past that, that's a big example for everybody out here. Like, you know, wherever you at with it, you know, if there's some way to figure it out, you might want to try that because just think about how much music has been left on the table, how many celebrations, you know what I mean? Like how many tours that didn't happen because people wanted him on a tour

and didn't want to meet. It's weird, bro. You know what I'm saying? And we grown. I mean, come on, in 10 years I'll be, you feel me? Well, we appreciate you guys, man. The verse of last night was amazing. The album, Recession 2, is out right now.

Make sure y'all go stream it. And like I said, I hope this leads to some real healing between you and Gucci, man. And salute to everybody. Salute to Larry Jackson and P and everybody who assisted in putting this together. Yeah, P, solo Larry Jackson. Everybody that was, you that was working behind the scenes to make amends. And look, man, maturity,

it's a step in the right direction. Let's see where it leads us. I'm optimistic, and I truly believe that and let me say that because I said I wouldn't talk about this until I get praise, but I feel like God made everything come full circle from even, you know, having Swizz to create that platform and us to be able to use it to bring, you know,

our culture and our people together to say, hey, look, this is bigger than us, and we're going to show you that. So, you know, thanks to God for even bringing that back full circle. Yeah, shout out to Swizz. Shout out to Timberland, man. That platform is amazing. And thank you, guys. We appreciate you, Jeezy.

All right, for so long. Peace, King. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Rumors on the way. 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 just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. 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 create 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 warheads. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have

So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records.

It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out.

Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa It was called a moment Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy, is Friday, damn it, and it's time for Rumor Report. Angela Yee is talking about the Fresh Prince. Why am I screaming? It's time.

She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the reunion special was on HBO Max. It was filmed on their original set. Will Smith. Listen, everybody was there. Did y'all watch it?

I did. I watched it yesterday, actually. That was my pre-game before the versus. Now, one thing that everybody was talking about was Janet Hubert and Will Smith back together again. And they finally had that conversation that they've never had about the friction and how afterwards

she was labeled difficult and couldn't get work. Here's what she had to say about the set being hard for her. During that third season when I got pregnant, there was a lot of things going on in my life and in Will's life as well.

There was some friction because I was pregnant. Home life was not good at all. The cast had no idea what was going on. You know, during that time of her pregnancy, I wasn't sensitive. You know, now that I've had three kids, I've learned some things that I did not know at the time, and I would do things very differently.

But I can see where I made the set very difficult for Janet. Man, that's why you got to allow people to grow, and you got to allow people to evolve. And you can't take things personal when it comes to other people, because you don't know what other people are going through. You're calling her difficult but she's having problems at home. She's pregnant.

She had a lot going on. I mean, on both sides but like she said during it, I mean, it's, you know, she was kind of blackballed because of him saying that, that she was difficult and she couldn't get other work.

She couldn't get other jobs. I wonder if she ever sued for that, if she sued the show back then. I had a lot of questions after watching that. I wonder how her relationship was with James Avery when he passed away.

Because think about that. You're holding a grudge against everybody because they did you wrong, right? But then he passes. You know what I mean? I wonder how she felt about that. Right, and you know, they had reunions many times. She just never was involved in them.

So although the cast came back together now, she also talks about people thinking that she was fired. Here's what really happened. They offered me this really bad deal in the third season. They said, you've got two months and two weeks of work and you cannot work anywhere else. I did not accept their offer. I was never fired.

So they said, okay, then we're going to recast your role. When I left the show, I had this new baby and no one. Family disowned me. Family disowned me. Hollywood disowned me. My family said, you've ruined our name. And I wasn't unprofessional on the set. I just stopped talking to everybody because I didn't know who to trust because I had been banished.

And they said it was you who banished me. Damn. Wow. Yeah. Imagine that. That's an entanglement. All right, well, Will Smith also says, you know, he was only 21 years old at the time, and he had his own issues.

Here's what he said. I was 21 years old. Yeah. Everything was a threat to me. Why was I a threat? Not you, the world. I was so driven by fear and jokes and comedy and all of that. Yeah, you were live.

But what you didn't realize either that I was going through a lot at home. Very abusive marriage. I can see now the level of pain and the level of struggle that it was for you just to show up every day.

But you took all that away from me and i appreciated that conversation but now how you gonna make it right will okay you got a tone for that situation you got the reboot of the fresh prince coming on uh hbo max it's more of a dramatic uh themed version how about put og aunt viv in the role of OG Aunt Viv? It would make sense to me, right? All right, well, here is what Janet Hubert had to say about just the narrative of her being difficult and also being a dark-skinned woman in this business. I lost everything, and I understand you were able to move forward,

but you know those words, calling a black woman difficult. In Hollywood, it's the kiss of death, and it's hard enough being a dark-skinned black woman in this business but I felt it was necessary for us to finally move forward and I'm sorry that I have blasted you to pieces when I look back now it's obvious that you were having a hard time and I felt like you hated me I could not do a 30-year celebration and not celebrate you. It's a part of me that hates seeing people heal in real time because I feel like that should be like a private thing, but it's such a good thing for them to do it publicly

because it inspires other people to heal too. Absolutely. I love seeing that. Yeah, like I said, I hope that they get to a real place of healing, and I hope Will pays it forward. You know what I mean? I hope he can atone for that. He's yeah, like I said, I hope that, you know, they get to a real place of healing. And I hope Will pays it forward. You know what I mean? I hope he can atone for that. He's in a position to do it.

Put Janet Hubert as the mom in the reboot to the Fresh Prince. I love seeing that. The dramatic version. I love seeing that. I love seeing the Gucci and Jeezy last night. I just love seeing people, you know, being men, putting their ego to the side and doing what they got to do. And especially being that Janet Hubert has not aged at all, by the way. Absolutely.

Not even a little bit. She could come right back down them stairs and replay that role, reprise that role right now. That was like the Fresh Prince of Red Table talk, it felt like, right? That conversation. No, that was way deeper than that Red Table talk. Oh, they get deep on it. Because it seemed very honest. No, I'm talking about, I'm thinking about the conversation between Will and Jada when they did the entangling thing.

That right there that him and Janet did, it was so honest and so pure. It was just, nah. Her life was basically, I don't want to say ruined, but her career was. Yeah, it was ruined. Her career was. All right, now Monique, I guess, was watching this while all this was happening, and she wants an apology. From Will?

No, she wants an apology. From Will? No, she wants an apology from Tyler Perry. By the way, she posted, hats off to Will Smith for apologizing for what he did to Janet Huberts. Everybody's on Viv, career, life when he was young. Perhaps Tyler Perry, who has admitted in private that he was wrong, will follow suit and be man enough to

apologize in public like he promised. We'll work on Oprah and Lionsgate a little later. P.S. Tyler, you want to! People's Choice Award for being the people's champ for your body of work. Tell the truth about a woman named Monique who did nothing wrong. And be a champion for the individuals who supported your career for years. The black women. And then she did a police swipe to hear Tyler Perry say it with his own words. I have, like I told you before, I have heard people say that Monique absolutely was done wrong by them.

So if they owe her an apology, they should give her an apology, man. Everybody deserves healing. I want everybody to get the healing they deserve. Okay? Alright, well that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. Peace of mind is what we all should be after. Okay. Peace of mind envy.

What? I don't know, you're looking at me stupid. I'm not looking at you anyway. I know you're thinking of a piece of something, but it's not mine. I'm not thinking of a piece of something. All right? Nor is it mine. Oh, my goodness.

Okay? Who are you giving your donkey to, man? I bet you wish it was you, don't you? But it's not. It's Rudy Giuliani. Actually, actually, though. All right, we'll get to that. Actually, though.

What? I was thinking about you when I saw Rudy Giuliani yesterday. We'll talk about it for after the hour. All right. We'll talk about it for after the hour, sir. Don't point at me like that. Okay?

Don't put that finger out there like that. I'm wondering why it's so cold in here. Now it all makes sense. Don't it, drum? Don't it? Oh, you ain't been here. It all makes sense why it's so cold in here. Let's get the donkey.

Hurry up. Come on. All right. Donkey of the Day is up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Donkey of the donkey. Hurry up. Come on. Alright. Donkey of the Day is up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. You get donkey of the day. You get donkey

God damn it. All right. Donkey of the day for Friday, November 20th goes to Rudy Giuliani. Now, Rudy had a press conference yesterday because he's a sore loser. Okay. He's Trump's attorney. That whole team over there, they're still trying to act like they won the election instead of just letting it go.

Listen to the guy. Listen. Listen. Ma'am, you are lying. You're lying. You're lying. You're lying. Oh, continue to lie. I'm not going to lie over their head. Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am. OK, let me answer the question. Let me answer the question.

Dan, bring me a picture of, you know, what I want to see. Now, I'm going to be honest. I don't care about any of that. OK'm just mad we're not on Revolt today because I need y'all to see the vision of this mayonnaise-flavored mammal sweating profusely. Now, Nick, when you edit this video later, make sure you add this picture to it. Okay, Dan, I need you to pull the picture up. Hold it to Nick's camera real quick.

It was so hot under those lights. Okay? Those lies Rudy Giuliani was telling had him so hot, and this is why I want to give him a donkey of the day, not only because he's a raving lunatic who literally would hold Donald Trump's penis when he pees and shake it for him when he's done, but what we saw on that stage last night should be a warning

to all you just-for-men ass-niggas. All right, listen to me. That wasn't just for men. Oh, we'll get to you. You stay over there, listen to me. That wasn't just for me. Oh, we'll get to you. You stay over there. Listen to me. All you color and company by L'Oreal-ass brothers, I don't want this to happen to you.

Now, clearly Rudy didn't have permanent hair dye. He had semi-permanent hair dye because I don't think permanent hair dye does that. Now, let me turn to an expert. Hmm. Who's expert? DJ Envy. You have a Dodger hair?

No, I want to talk to you. Okay's expert? DJ Envy. You ever dodge a hit? No! I want to talk to you! Okay? Talk to me, sir. Now, when you're putting that Just For Men Easy Comb in color in your beard, do you use permanent or semi-permanent? Which one doesn't melt when it gets hot? Talk to us.

Just For Men is just one. There's no permanent or non-semi-permanent. It's just Just For Men. Is it like Beijing? I don't know what Beijing is. Oh, no. Now, you are not's just for men. Is it like Beijing? I don't know what Beijing is. Now you are not going to tell no goddamn lie in this studio and get us all scrubbed by lightning. I don't know what Beijing is. You are an avid bike rider, okay?

So you sweat a lot. So when you have that soft sheen Carson hair color from men on your chin, what keeps that paint from melting, huh? I don't know. Envy, I'm really concerned. I don't use Beijing. You guys see me sweat. You guys see me. Have you ever seen any drip from me? I? I don't know. Envy, I'm really concerned. I don't use Beijing. You guys see me sweat. You guys see me.

Have you ever seen any drip from me? I have not seen you sweat. Keep it locked to Rudy Giuliani, sir. I can't speak for Charlamagne. No, Envy, I can't allow this to happen to you. Small people learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from the mistakes of others. What is there to learn from what Rudy Giuliani's paint?

Okay, what is there to learn, Envy? Give him some advice. I mean, Rudy Giuliani should have used just for men. That's what he should have used. I don't know what he used. So that doesn't run. I don't know, but that's what he should have used. His color should have been like a light brown.

I think that was Rudy Giuliani. It's like a light brown. Listen to Envy's advice. What color did you use? I think his was more of a dark brown. Ain't no him. We're talking about you. Okay?

Listen, all we're saying, Envy, is we don't want this to happen to you, but it seems like you got it together. You know what I'm saying? I want you to listen. Just listen to this one part. Listen. Let me answer the question. Play it again.

Play it again. Let me answer the question. Okay, one more time. Let's play it one more time. Let me answer the question. That's Rudy Giuliani standing on stage trying to talk and ends up with a mouthful of Beijing. Okay, Envy, I do not need you on this air talking one day and getting hot

because you're looking at me and my triceps, and then you start sweating and end up with a mouthful of Beijing Easy Color. Okay, I'm serious. I did some research on this. The Beijing website states that dye for eyelashes or eyebrows can, in fact, cause blindness. Blindness! P.O.P.! Okay?

I cannot have you out here legally blind because that damn Bayesian ran down your head and into your eyes. Alright? Matter of fact, Dramos, check in with these eyelashes right now. Check them. Okay? And he told me he uses H45, right? His eyebrows do look darker than usual. Now, I totally understand why he doesn't want the heat on

up here. He was complaining how cold it was in here, but he was doing that to throw us off. He told the building to keep it cold because he don't want that paint in his eyeballs. By the way, Rudy Giuliani and DJ Envy, Beijing should not be in hell due to the risk of respiratory irritation. Did you know that? I don't know who uses Beijing. I mean, you should tell Rudy Giuliani, don't use Beijing. It's in your bed.

Or maybe use a Sharpie. I don't know. I don't have it in my bed. I don't know what you're talking about. There is no reason for any man, black or white, to be using Beijing during a pandemic. Okay, Beijing causes respiratory irritation. Coronavirus causes respiratory illness. Can you imagine having trouble breathing and not knowing if it's COVID-19 or Beijing 59?

Envy, what number do you use? Tell us. H45. You think it's H45? He told me, well, for adjustment men, he told me he uses H45. You think it's H45? He told me, well, for adjustment men, he told me he uses H45. He said it on the air before. That is dark brown. It's actually the darkest brown. I think you use 59.

You use 59. If I had to. Tell the truth. You use 59, don't you? And you owe me 10. You use 59, don't you? The oriental black permanent hair color. That's you, right? That contains no ammonia and requires no hydrogen peroxide to use. Tell me right now, Envy. Tell the truth for what's on this radio. I don't use Beijing.

I don't know what you're talking about. The moral of the story is life is about going hard in the paint, but not hard in the paint, okay? Like DJ Envy and Rudy Giuliani. Don't put me on his, like, he was tripping. I don't know what you're talking about. Give Rudy Giuliani the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. My drum. Rudy Giuliani should try just for a minute. Not the Beijing. He's rubbing his chin drum. He's double checking right now. Check his fingers. I bet you he look like he just got fingerprinted. Look. Beijing. He's rubbing his chin, Dron. He's double checking right now. Check his fingers.

I bet you he look like he just got fingerprinted. Look. No, it doesn't. Look, look, look. There is none. You got the fear of God in him right now. Let me shout out my brothers, man. Let me shout out my brother, Rick Ross.

Let me shout out my brother, Danny. Why don't you throw them under the bus today? You died too. Why you ain't? Let me shout out my brother, Kevin Hart. Oh, my God. Those are my brothers out there. Oh, I can't believe you did that. We stand together, Kevin Hart. Oh, my God. Those are my brothers out there. Oh, I can't believe you did that.

We stand together. MV69. Oh, my God, MV69. I can't believe you. You taking the whole corner down. You taking the whole CMB down. What are you talking about, man? All the colored men beards.

Rudy Giuliani. My God. You shouldn't be using Sharpie. You shouldn't be using Beige. Oh, my God. I can't believe you just took the whole CMB down. I'm just shouting at my brothers. I'm about You shouldn't be using Sharpie. You shouldn't be using Beijing. Oh, my God. I can't believe you just took the whole CMV down. What did I do? I was just shouting at my brothers.

I'm about to get my mix in. Wow. That's crazy. That's messed up, bro. You just stood on the stand and said, if I'm going down, everybody going down with me. This is bigger than Nino Beijing. This guy is something else. Did y'all see that?

What are y'all talking about? I'm doing my mix. I'm getting my mix ready. Wow. Gosh, look. I'm getting my mix. Get my mix ready. Wow. Gosh, look, I'm getting my mixes. I'm thinking of songs I'm going to play in the mix.

Disgusting. I'm going to throw it back. Kevin Hart's record. You know, I got a couple of joints. What? CMB. Y'all all y'all got.

All right. All right. Goodness gracious. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Geesh. Don't know what it was about, but all right. All right. Goodness gracious. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Geesh. Don't know what it was about, but all right. All right.

When we come back, Cedric Richmond will be joining us. The new senior advisor to President-elect Joe Biden. Yeah. And we're going to talk to him when we come back. Make sure he don't change his goddamn number on us. All right. All right. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line this morning. Yes, the new senior advisor to the president-elect.

That's right, Cedric Richmond. Welcome back, brother. Good morning, everybody. How y'all doing? Good morning. You blessed black and highly favored. Congratulations on being named senior Richmond, welcome back, brother. Good morning, everybody. How y'all doing? Good morning. Bless Black and highly favored. Congratulations on being named senior advisor to the president, man. Tell people what that position means,

because they didn't even know what co-chair was. Wait, what does it mean? This is the first time it's not a free position on the Biden campaign, I can tell you that. Let me just, it'll be director of public engagement, which means I'll engage and interact with everybody from the civil rights community to the LGBTQ community to Black Lives Matter to the Latino community. And I'll be in the White House as a senior advisor to the president for him to bounce stuff off, to have input in decisions. And sometimes, you know, it's that question, it's who's at the table.

It's my expectation to be at in decisions. And sometimes, you know, it's that question, it's who's at the table. It's my expectation to be at the table. Do you get a chance to breathe and say, yes, we finally made it, we finally did it? Because it was a long fight, and the fight continued for a minute. Or do now you look at it and say, okay, now we got a whole lot more to do? Well, we have a lot of work to do.

This president has left chaos and confusion all across the country, especially a raging pandemic. But we, you know, I don't have to tell you all, you know, we have a lot of work to do. When you start talking about systematic racism, when you start talking about addressing poverty, when you start talking about addressing climate change, when you start talking about addressing police reform, criminal justice reform, all of those things we've talked about. Now becomes the time to put up a shut up.

And so we have work to do. And that's the part that is the awesome task. I saw you said that this was the hardest decision you've had to make in your life. So what were your reservations? Well, first of all, I haven't had a boss in 21 years, except the people who put me in office. And the other part was making sure that, you know, it's meaningful. And Charlamagne, I will tell you that between you and DL, because both of you all on interviews asked me the same question at some point, which was, who do we hold accountable if things go awry or we don't live up to expectations. And the real question was, well, if I don't go in,

then I'm cheating people of that voice of all of the people I've convinced to be a part of this movement. And then, you know, it was just to uproot your family and move to D.C. Look, I like D.C., but New Orleans is the best city in the country. And so all of those factors went in. But at the end of the day, it's something I had to do. Was it hard to leave your congressional seat? Absolutely.

I mean, first of all, I just got reelected. It's been six elections, going into my 11th year, assistant to the whip, which is a leadership position in the House. And the more seniority you get, the more you can help your district. But in this broken government that we have now with the Senate controlled by Republicans or could be controlled by Republicans, Mitch McConnell is just going to continue to block everything that's important to us, like the George Floyd Policing Act, which he's blocking, and the voting rights extension, which he's blocking. So the Voting Rights Extension, which he's blocking. So part of it is, you know, there's more than one way to skin a cat. And so if we can't get

it done legislatively, let's go in the executive branch and see what we can get done there. Who do you think should get that seat, your old seat? Look, there's a number of qualified people who are running, and I will look at them. I'll talk to each and every one of them and I'll probably make a recommendation to the voters, but it's important to keep someone who will put the constituents over ambition or anything like that. So, and look, everybody that's running has a track record. So voters will be able to judge them. How are you navigating through Donald Trump, not trying to help with this transition phase? What are you guys able to judge them. How are you navigating through Donald Trump not trying to help with this transition phase? What are you guys able to do to get around that? Well, the good news is Joe

Biden has been in the White House before. And so there's some institutional knowledge there, but it's a hindrance. And the sad part about it is it puts Americans in jeopardy. So if we are talking about having a cohesive rollout of the vaccines, if they're ready, it would be nice to know where they are, what's their plan so that we could come in or adjust their plan or have our own plan ready. But you need to know those type of things, especially on national defense and security briefings. One of the glaring items in the 9-11 report was that because it wasn't a smooth transition, there were gaps,

and the terrorists were able to exploit those gaps. So those are the things you don't want to happen. But there are a number of people who used to be in the Trump administration that is volunteering information. And so we're doing the best we can with what we got, but I don't think that's adequate, and we know it's not adequate for the American people. So we just, you know, hopefully expect a temper tantrum to stop and we can get to transition and get ready for,

one, a peaceful transition, but two, a moving presidency coming up. And I was going to ask, is there any way to forcefully do that by law? You know, the fact that he's lost, all these states are coming and say, you know, now that you did leave, that you did lose, is there any way to forcefully say, no, we need this information, you have to, or you go to jail? Is that possible? Or no, that doesn't happen like that. But there's some legal routes you can take. But I'll just tell you from my time in Congress, when Donald Trump tells his cabinet secretaries not to cooperate with committee investigations, to ignore our subpoenas. We hold them in contempt and then nothing still happens. This is a lawless bunch that is in the White House right now. And, you know, without Donald Trump

freeing them up, I expect them to continue to be a problem. However, I do think at some point Donald Trump is going to realize that it's bigger than him. For the first time, I think he will understand that this is not all about him. Or he'll just take his ball and go home and say, you know, if y'all want Sleepy Joe, take Sleepy Joe. Y'all will want me back in four years. So I'm taking my ball and going home. Whatever it looks like, it just needs to happen so that we can get on with the business of transition and preparing to run the greatest country on Earth.

All right, we got more with Cedric Richmond. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Cedric Richmond. Charlamagne? Cedric, are you ready for all the smoke that's going to come your way, though?

Because I posted you on my Instagram yesterday, a couple days ago, congratulating you. And immediately people started coming with all types of, you know, rhetoric. It was climate advocates and leaders who fight against toxic air pollution saying that he's terrible for the environment because he got ties to the oil and gas industry. What do you say to that? Look, I understand their concern. They also have to understand that in my congressional district, we have hundreds of thousands of jobs tied to people showing up working every day, anywhere from hotels to oil and gas to refineries. And that's just the district that I represent. But what I would just tell them is that they all applaud Don McKeachum as being one of the leaders on environmental justice. Well, when we were deciding to put our climate plan together, it was me that called Don McKeachum, who's a dear friend of mine, and said, hey, we want the best environmental justice plan that we can find.

And we want you at the table and I want you involved. So I know the damage that's going on out there. And I think we have assembled a team to put it together. And we had a robust climate change plan. And by the way, Joe Biden and his climate plan won the presidency. Nobody else did. Yeah, but that's why they were kind of upset, too, because they said that you raked in big money from the fossil fuel industry and voted to help oil and gas companies.

Is that true? No, that's not true. No, I did receive contributions from the oil and gas company. They're businesses in my district. And just because you write a check doesn't mean you own me. And at some point, the activists are going to have to understand that. Man, you're the third politician I heard say that, and it makes perfect sense to me. Like, you can have somebody donate to your campaign, but as long as you're still serving the interests of the people and not them, what's the problem?

Environmentalists have also donated to my campaign. So, look, I just think that it's a distraction. And when people are out there just trying to get it done, we should come together, especially when you win an election. The fact that Democrats are fighting after we win makes absolutely no sense. We should be at the table figuring out where we go from here. And I think that's what Joe Biden wants to do. So look, Sunrise and all the environmental groups, I'm going to reach out to them and make sure that they understand that this is the Biden climate plan. This is the agenda we're going to embark on. So let's take people out of it, focus on the plan. And so I forgot who said

it. It might have been King, but I heard Obama repeat it before. It's not about the man. It's about the plan. And I believe in Joe Biden's climate plan and his environmental justice plan. I was going to ask, how do you undo the damage done by the president now and his constituents who are saying that there's voter fraud and this whole election was rigged and there's a lot of people who don't believe in the system. So how do you undo that damage? Well, one, first by making sure we get to January 20th and watch him leave the White House and watch Joe Biden go into the White House. Because I think what we've seen over the campaign is that Joe Biden, people believe him and he can

restore trust in government. The election system, the Trumpsters out there that believe that somebody stole the election, they're going to believe that no matter what. I mean, they created the term alternative facts, and people believe it, unfortunately. He has a percentage of the population that will believe whatever he says. He says the news media is lying, and they believe it. So it's upon us, once we take office, to make sure we restore people's faith in government, restore the faith in the election system. You have Republican governors, Republican secretaries of state, like in Georgia, saying we had a recount. Joe Biden's the winner.

The election was fair. There was no fraud. And those people who are going to choose to believe the alternative facts are just going to believe that. Now, how can we help you and Senator Harris and everybody in the White House keep those promises for Black people? How can we help on the ground?

Well, I think you have to keep raising the issues. We don't get a pass because we won. And I think that that's important. And I think I said it on this show before, Charlemagne, but I'll try to give you the 30-second of it. When Jesse Jackson, John Lewis, and Martin Luther King, and all those people, not Martin, but when the civil rights leaders went in to visit Lyndon Johnson after the passage of the Civil Rights Act that told them they needed a voting rights act, he said,

I can't do it. They said, no, you have to do it. He said, I want to do it, but I don't have the political capital or the will of the people to do it. So help me by when you leave this room, make me do it. Go create the environment out there, create the demand for that change that will help me usher it in. So to the extent that people are still talking about Black Lives Matter movement, whether it helped or hurt, Black Lives Matter movement is a partner in the struggle for progress in this country and we recognize that we applaud them and the more that they push the more that we're

able to do and so that's what we need from you too. I mean, we have to make sure that our people are engaged and if that means our people engaged enough to the point where they are criticizing our action or inaction, well, that's just the consequence of it, but it moves the needle forward.

So just keep doing what you're doing, being an honest voice, plain spoken, keeping it real, however, you know, being woke, however we describe it or how the young people say it, that's what we need from you. And so young people need the truth and the real truth. And the more it incentivizes them to be a part of the process, I think that is very, very important. You know, and I know you're part of the administration, but on a scale of one to, let's say, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, do you have faith in the Biden-Harris administration to really make transformative change for the black community? Absolutely. You know, the hindrance is the fact that we did not pick up the Senate yet. And hopefully we can pick up those two seats in Georgia. We need the people in Georgia to just

really show up. But the will is there. And, you know, my grandmother used to say, where there's the will, there's a a way and so I believe that both of them want to be very transformative and leave a legacy bigger and better than the 64 uh Civil Rights Act 65 Voting Rights Act and part of what we want to do is to extend that Voting Rights Act which has lapsed since the Supreme Court decision that gutted it. But by the way, I just want to also throw in there that, you know, Vice President Biden did break a barrier already and show some courage and the ability to think out of the box and take chances by picking not only the first woman, but the first black woman to be a vice president candidate on a major ticket and by the way at

the end of the day as i look at this i don't think there's another ticket that would have beat donald trump as close as this election was i think senator harris was a vital part of the ticket and i think joe's authenticity and people knowing him is what uh earned him the title of president elect and soon to be 46th president of the United States. I agree with you. I just want more than a symbolism at this point. That's all. You know what I mean?

No, look, I agree with you. I would just say, if you want to see what somebody's going to do in the future, just look at their past actions. And I think that that should at least earn, you know, a sense of, you know, goodwill. Not saying that that goodwill should last in perpetuity, but I think it sets the tone for what type of administration this wants to be.

And I will just tell you, talking to President-elect Joe Biden, it is very clear that he wants to empower and do more for the African-American community than any president before him. And, you know, there are other issues he wants to have that legacy on, but he is very set on making sure that, you know, his Lift Every Voice agenda is actually implemented. Well, we're going to be on his ass, so don't change your number. Okay, Cedric?

All right, Cedric, we appreciate you for checking in, man. And you can call LifeCube back now. You're so petty. It's Cedric Richmond. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you, brother. The Breakfast Club. They had one versus in

Atlanta last night, Gucci versus Jeezy. I'm gonna tell you the other versus. What's that? The other versus is Atlanta versus Kofi. Okay, what the hell y'all got going on in Atlanta last night, Gucci versus Jeezy. I'm going to tell you the other versus. What's that? The other versus is Atlanta versus COVID. Okay, what the hell y'all got going on in Atlanta? What I saw in Compound last night looked ridiculous. Y'all really trying hard to catch COVID. Really. That looks nuts, bro.

It does. You can't say nothing about no Trump rallies or nothing when you're doing stuff like that. But it's been like that. It's not like this is the first time. It's been like that. Last night looked crazy. Bro, it's been like that for months. God dang. What Tanya say when she called last week? She was like, the cases

ain't rising. They ain't covered in that last year. Y'all keep it up. And a lot of y'all way over 40 in them clubs. You know what I'm saying? Now y'all overweight. And overweight. It's a lot of underlying conditions. Y'all keep playing in Atlanta if y'all want to. Alright, well let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Halle Berry. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. The rumor report. The Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Halle Berry had some things to say about her past.

You know, she had her first orgasm when she was 11 years old. She was talking to Lindsay Flores, and here's what she had to say. I remember my first orgasm. You do? Yeah. And I did it to myself. So how my first orgasm. You do? Yeah. And I did it to myself. So how old were you?

11. Really? Really. And what was happening? Walk me through it. I was diddling. And I was figuring out my sexuality. Yeah, give us some context.

Why is this conversation happening? What is this show? Strange that it just came up out of nowhere. I had an orgasm at 11, okay? I was just playing. All right. Got some context here. She's sitting there having a conversation,

and that's one of the things that they discuss. I can understand. If you said that was lip service, I would get it. Is that type of show? It's not something that you discuss. It's called Extra Bad and Bougie. Bougie. And so they're talking about different things like sex positions

and their craziest sexual escapades. Okay, so it's part of a show. They're not just sitting around just chilling. You know, like later on I'll go to the barbershop and I'll be like, hey, Charlamagne, when's the last time? You know, it's not going to happen. They sit in the barbershop masturbating at night. I demand it too. All right, now let's talk about new music.

Megan Thee Stallion's new album, Good News, came out. So I know everybody's excited for that. Now, one thing that people are talking about is a song called Shots Fired on there. And she's talking a lot about what happened with Tory Lanez, allegedly, and her former best friend, Kelsey. Listen to this. Real, real, just a save face for rappers you chill with. Imagine me giving a pussy what's your birthday. You and your feelings, I just thought it was another Thursday. Now imagine me blocking on some Josh. I don't want you on the believe you wouldn't have been invited.

And if it wasn't for me, same week you'd have been in jail. You off the end, not the top. I guess that made my friend excited. Now y'all in cahoots. You shot a 510 with a.22. Talking about phones and tendons like them bullets were in pellets. A.001 with a.001 gun in his fill. All right. Well, looks like some more information about what happened that day. But she is clearly not going to be friends with her best friend, ex-best friend anymore.

Yeah, how close were they? They couldn't have been that close, though. They were best friends. I need to know how far back that ran, because that don't seem like it. Well, you know, your best friends become your worst enemies. That is true. Not mine. And so that's what happens when somebody knows everything about you.

That is the person that if things go left and you fall out, if it's somebody that's not really tight with you, why would you even care? Yeah, I mean, you know, you meet people later on in life that you, you know, might have been super cool with. And y'all thought y'all was close and y'all fall out. But your people people that you've been down with for a long time. That's why I ain't got too many of them. I know my people. I know where they stand.

They know where they stand with me. I ain't got to worry about that. Not too many new friends in my circle. I remember when you and DJ Mono got into it because he smashed cake in your face. You talked to him for like a year. That was so cute. I remember that. Yeah, Mono got into it because he smashed cake in your face. You talked to him for like a year. That was so cute. I remember that. Yeah, but that's my brother.

I mean, he wouldn't do anything like that. I mean, you fight with your brother sometimes. And we do fight and we argue and we, you know. And we smash cake in each other's faces. And it was so wild. Because y'all told him to do it. That's why. He was drunk.

And he did it sensual. No, he did not do it sensual. And he kind of like slid his finger down Envy's face. Y'all gassed him. He was drunk. And he did it sensual. No, he did not do it sensual. And he kind of like slid his finger down Envy's face. Y'all gassed him. He was drunk. You said, yo, it'd be funny if y'all throw this cake in Envy's face. Nobody said that. I thought that's what y'all do in New York.

He told me y'all said that. I thought that's what y'all do in New York. I saw paid in full. I was like, yo, smash the cake in his face. Did you really love him? He punched me in the face with the cake. He was drunk. Yes, he did.

Yes, he did. He was soft. Shout out to Mo. And the icing was on your cheek. And he wiped the icing Yes, he did. Yes, he did. He was soft. Shout out to Mo. And the icing was on your cheek. And he wiped the icing off. After he smashed him, he wiped the icing off again. Now, I want to get to this. Because the baby put out an EP also.

I was surprised you didn't say he licked it off my face, Charlamagne, with your kinky ass. Go ahead, Yee. The baby put out a surprise EP. And one of the songs on there is My Brother's Keeper. As you know, he's been going through it. So he posted Long Live My Big Brother on Instagram. Hashtag My Brother's Keeper from Baby Bruh to you. Here's some of that song. Never let depression go unchecked. It's cost you. Baby, bro, gonna walk down on any nigga across you.

Spilling my feelings. It's been on my mind. Need to see something die. I know who gonna be my victim. One of these niggas mine. No kids. My nigga just looked in my eyes. He feel it.

Know I'm ready to slide. He with it. I told him that I was gonna do it tonight. But instead, I got my side and ring. I spent the night with them. Yeah, that's my nephew and my daughter. Gotta give them both the world. I swear to God, I gotta spoil them.

Damn, man. Salute to the baby. Salute to the baby. Salute to his family. I want the baby to go get some healing. Break that cycle of trauma. His brother's depression, you know, caused his brother to commit suicide, which ends up traumatizing the family.

And they got to deal with grief, and that grief is no joke, man. Well, I want you to hear the rest of My Brother's Keeper. Bang. Lord have mercy. Dropping the clues bonds with the baby. Grief is no joke. And the reality is you're going to grieve forever.

Don't let nobody tell you different. You never really get over the loss of a loved one. You just learn to live with it. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. All right.
