No country willingly gives up their territory.

What is that?
Bullets.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
We have Just Niche.
Hey, bing, bing, bing, bing.
Peace, Just Niche.
How are you?
I am great.
You know, people always seem to be mentioning your name.
Finally, y'all got me in here.
Absolutely.
Somebody funny.
About damn time.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
Well, it's about time, Breakfast Club.
Jesus Christ. Some unfunny people
here you think
you ain't gotta say no names
okay cool
let them know
who Just Niche is
yes
oh man Just Niche
is Chicago bred
stand up
a realist
yeah just pretty much
go with the flow
but stay in my lane
and just make sure
I do what I gotta do
I like your shirt
I like what your shirt
represents
thank you cause this is one of the things that's really important to me this year cause it's I do what I gotta do. I like your shirt. I like what your shirt's representing. Thank you,
because this is one of the things
that's really important to me this year
because this election,
you're not gonna let these people know.
I know you own it.
I see you always with the movement.
I got y'all some shirts too.
Thank you very much.
So yeah,
we're gonna pop it off
because the young people
are gonna get us our money back.
So HR 40 is all about
the bill to commission
and study how we're gonna
get the reparations.
They got the HR 414
that is the U.S.
admitting that they owe us reparations.
So, black people, this is all we need to be worried about.
Them student loans, they were never getting
them back. So, Biden can't sell
me on that, but I don't care if Trump
or Biden get in there. You know, this
should be the agenda we pushing
because they don't care. So, I think we can get on with the
court and with these young kids and
TikTok. You know, we got to get the word out because people don't even know about it. Yeah, get on with the court and with these young kids and TikTok.
You know, we got to get the word out because people don't even know about it. Yeah, I saw Congressman
Jamal Bowman, he
the initiative that they're doing that they're
pushing for is for every black person to get, I think
what, $333,000 in reparations?
$300,000. That's what they started
and it's going to be a long, complex
process. But until they do that, they got to do something.
You know?
Y'all can give us everything black free until see I do you know to y'all figure out
tires until y'all figure it out and I feel like if they have something in
motion we watch these people give every American a stimulus check the file taxes
you telling me you can't give black people a stimulus check monthly until
y'all figure it out yeah a. A little reparation card or something.
You know, put some money on here.
Load it up until y'all figure it out.
But just to keep not doing nothing is going to be ridiculous.
Yeah, one thing I told Earthquake this morning, we had Earthquake up here.
I was like, man, if you make a certain amount of money as a black person,
just let me be tax-free.
Exactly.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, exactly.
For 400 years.
I have a long slavery war.
Like, seriously. And it's so easy. Like I say, they probably thinking like 400 years. I have a long slavery war. Like seriously.
And it's so easy.
Like I say, they probably thinking like, oh, black people don't want us.
We do want the money.
But also it's so much other stuff that y'all can start doing.
That's right.
You know, home loans.
Y'all can give us property.
Free education.
You know, mental health for sure.
That's right.
So it's like y'all can start this stuff.
We don't have to wait until we figure it all out.
But y'all got to do something.
You know, give me a little reparation loan, you know, black people only.
That's what Jamal is pushing.
He's pushing for a federal bill that will provide every black American with a one-time payment of $333,000 in restitution for slavery.
Yeah.
Let's do it.
They haven't even apologized.
I don't think people are realizing they have never publicly apologized for slavery.
Like, you know, when people feel bad they at least say
you want something from the store they ain't even asked us do we want something from the store
but it's our fault because we're not we're not pushing it we don't care why would they care
they don't want us to have it no way that's right so we all get on the same page it don't matter
which president is in there black people where y'all at with the hr 40 where y'all at with the
hr 414 what are we doing we don't about, they don't give us nothing that way.
Give me a little check your card or something.
I want to correct you on one thing
because this is also important to our push for slavery.
I mean, push for reparations.
Damn.
On July 30th, 2008,
the U.S. House of Representatives
passed a resolution apologizing for American slavery
and subsequent discriminatory laws
and the Senate apologized in 09.
Oh, they apologized.
Okay, cool. So they have apologized and acknowledged it. So once you do apologized in 2009. Oh, they apologized. Okay.
So they have apologized and acknowledged it.
So once you do that, you got to make amends.
Yes.
And that get us something from the state.
Restitution.
Yes.
So I'm with it.
So that's all.
And I want to kind of just make people aware of it so they can know what to kind of be
asking their politicians for at the local, federal, and state level.
Because we all have to be on the same page, y'all.
We ain't going to get nothing.
That's true.
So how'd you get into comedy?
Grey Goose.
But literally
I used to go to Open Mic
in Chicago all the time and people
my friends were like you need to go up.
Did you have a set or you just like
I'm just gonna win you. Man look I had
I used the force. Well I did
have two jokes written on my hand cause I
kinda prepped.
And yeah, the shots took it from there.
So I invited all my family out.
I had 30 people there.
This was my first time going up.
Like, I shouldn't have had nobody there because I got drunk.
I forgot everything.
The words sweated off my hands.
Damn.
I got up there.
But I was still funny, but I was winging it.
What were the two jokes?
Do you remember?
Yes, I had just went natural. And I was talking about how black people can't have sex in the shower
because we go in looking like Beyonce.
We come out looking like Florida Evans.
It was just so stupid, you know,
and that was like what I thought was funny,
and I had another joke about getting kicked out the gym
for eating ice cream sandwiches,
and it was like you can't tell me how to cool down.
So that was literally like.
Your two jokes that you had.
Yeah, boom, boom,
and then I said a whole bunch of stuff after that.
I would have to watch the tape back because I was so, I think I was like five shots in
because they put me up at the end because all my family was there.
So I had to try to hold the crowd.
But yeah, I went back the next week sober.
You did better?
Nope.
But I went up and I enjoyed it.
So yeah, people saw that I was kind of naturally funny.
So they kind of navigated me around the Chicago comedy scene.
Then I met jokes and notes owner,
Mary Lindsay.
And that was a,
yeah.
Once you go to jokes and notes and do good,
that was like a staple.
That's a club.
Yeah.
It was like the only black club in Chicago,
but it was a big deal.
So all the greats kind of ran through jokes and notes and,
um,
yeah.
So if you could be funny at Jokes
and Notes, you were like a big deal. So what made
you realize, what was the point you
got to where you realized, okay, I'm actually good?
And how long did it take to get to there?
Well,
actually good, that's subjective.
So I knew I was actually funny very
early because people after the shows
would come tell me. But good,
I probably wasn't good until i was
maybe five six years in like good because when i say good i mean like these are good jokes they're
well written i'm not just up there you know being loud and funny i was gonna ask that what's the
difference between being funny and good because people can be funny by being loud you know people
just laugh if you're confident you can just get up there
and do a whole bunch
of crazy stuff
and people will be like,
oh, she funny.
Ain't talking about nothing.
You know,
so I consider good.
You can write a great joke.
You can write a great bit.
You have like signature jokes
that people recognize you from.
So yeah.
I was going to ask,
you know,
what a female comedian,
so many female comedians
been up here
and say it's so difficult,
right?
It seems like they try
to give them less money.
They try to cut their time.
Well, they gonna do that.
Oh, I ain't never could cuss.
When I first got up here.
Okay, well, yeah.
Censoring myself and shit.
Now you feel relieved.
I mean, yeah, but I think that's any field.
Men are gonna try to do that.
And I think women feel like it's hard.
I've never,
it ain't never been hard for me because I'm funny.
So I didn't have to like,
people want to be on the show because they want to be on the show.
I never had to get booked because somebody want to,
of course they probably wanted to,
but I was the preferred comic.
Like we need a funny female.
Oh,
just needs,
just needs.
So it's been easy.
And people always think female comics aren't funny,
but it's just a numbers game.
So it's less of us.
So you see us less.
So you might see, well, one female comic per show, if that.
So if you're not seeing female comics, then it's like,
oh, I don't even know no funny female comics.
I don't see none.
But it's like, no, we out here and I'm funny.
So I've always just been able to jump the line because they always want one bitch on the show.
What did you think about Cat Williams going at all the black comedians?
Oh, man.
That was a time to be alive.
It was a good kickoff.
I feel like, shit, he spoke his truth,
and that's what he wanted to get out, and he did.
I don't know.
I liked it, though, but I don't think it's I don't think it's necessary to
well he only addressed
the people who addressed him
on Club Che Che
so I think that's what
people were getting away from
they think he just
picking on people
but he literally
only talked about the people
that got on there
and said something
that he disagreed with
or thought was
there's some people
who got shots for
I mean it wasn't
all comedians
it wasn't all comedians
he talked about
there's a lot of people
that got some strains
yeah I thoroughly enjoyed it and It wasn't all comedians. Drive-bys. Oh, yeah. It wasn't all comedians he talked about. There's a lot of people that got some strays.
Yeah.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And, you know, Cat has been consistent about certain people for a long time.
Yeah. Like Kevin Hart.
He's been this way before.
Yeah.
So he's been on that.
And I feel like people are used to it.
So it's just like, okay, Cat being Cat.
That's how I took it.
I mean, I'm i've i've heard cat
talk like this before i don't know this ain't the first time so for this one to catch fire the way
it did i was like oh okay it was in that jogger suit that's what it was i tell you that now come
on leg up on the table come on cat balls everywhere come on put them balls up it's the jar it's tight as hell and leg up that's what i'm like
so i think it was a combination but it's a super dope podcast so of course
aesthetically shea shea is good shea shea shannon sharp is good and uh yeah and kevin is always
gonna be entertaining so it did what it needs to do yeah you just you did speed dating with
kendra g yes well it was like a collab.
We got that coming up.
Yeah.
Oh, it's not out yet?
It's not out yet,
but you know,
she's working on her app
for her singles live show.
So it's going to be like a tour.
And I told her,
I already do a Speed Dating comedy jam.
And with you and your platform,
we can really get these singles out
in every city.
And they'll have a better chance
of meeting somebody
they can really be with
because if you watch the show, them people be, oh, I'm in atlanta y'all could fly you ain't got no money
you cannot fly to see no niggas stop and then the wife will fly you out so it's just being a
little more realistic and just putting all that together so we can just get out and have a good
time it's a super dope show though oh yeah so be on the lookout for the kindred for the tour
is that are you really trying to meet somebody? Oh, I found my nigga.
Hopefully, this is my last nigga.
So, I...
I found my nigga.
Yeah.
Hopefully, he left.
This is my last.
I want to be married by 40.
Well, where'd you find him at?
Well, God sent him to me.
We actually met in Chicago.
And it's going on almost two years now.
And I want to be married by 40.
So, I got about two months.
Two months.
So, I'm going to fast track it.
Does he know that?
He know now.
Damn.
He know now.
So you never told him?
I think he kind of knew.
I don't think you got to really be with somebody forever
to get married.
We can learn about each other as we go.
Like, we almost 40.
Ain't you tired?
Like, I'm ready to sit down.
But does he think you serious, though?
Because you're a comedian, too.
So some of that's like, she playing too much.
No, I think he understands that, you know,
it's important for me to just go ahead and we can settle down.
The streets was fun.
How does a woman know though?
How does a woman know when it's time to hang it up?
You just kind of feel it.
You kind of just want to be settled.
You want to be where you're going to be at.
And then right now I think it's the best time for me because, you know,
I'm coasting up.
I've been doing comedy for 11 years, now I think it's the best time for me because you know I'm coasting up. I've been doing comedy
for 11 years
but I think this year
is like pivotal.
I think this year
is really gonna be
life changing.
So I would rather have
somebody be through
that phase with me
than I have to find
somebody after that
because it's like
what do you want?
You like me
or you just know
that I'm dope
and I'm popping.
Why do you think
this is gonna be the year?
Because you said
this is the year.
Yeah like man
I just feel it.
I know what I got.
I got a special coming out.
That's going to change the game.
The HR40 movement, that's just important to me just to get the word.
So I just see that being a big thing.
And then I'm kicking off.
We're kicking off our all-female tour again.
So the Kendra D stuff.
So it's just so much like boom, boom, boom.
I'm writing on the Miss Pat show.
Just did a movie with Tyler Perry. So it's like, you just kind of feel it.
The female tour is the Funny by Nature tour.
Funny by Nature tour, yes.
With you, Crystal Powell, Kelly Kells, and Ashima Franklin.
Ashima Franklin, yes.
I actually put my girl in the building.
That's Ashima Franklin.
Hey, Ashima.
Yeah.
Funny as hell.
Like all stand-ups, everybody got jokes.
It's really like the new Queens comedy, if we're going to call it that.
How'd you connect with them?
I was just having a conversation with some of the ladies in here,
and I said to them verbatim, I said, women hate each other.
Yep, they do.
But when you find a group of women that you click with
and can get along with and not be catty,
because everybody's going to have their disagreements,
but it's like we cool enough to get through whatever bouts we have
and we can work together
but that is hard
for a lot of women
but we do really well
together
and we all funny
so it's a dope tour
and because people don't
five female comics
I want to ask y'all this
you cannot name
nobody you've seen
on Def Jam
on Def Jam?
no
I can
no I'm talking about
name five
but you can't
you can't say
Samore, Monique, Adele
you can't name people that's been on Def Jam at a gym.
What?
That's how much I don't know female comics.
I know.
But I love Samoa, though.
Everybody loves Samoa.
But she's saying name five that wasn't on Def Jam.
That wasn't on Def Jam.
So these new bitches we talking about.
Jess Hilarious, Amanda Seals.
See, we can name five people that have been up here,
so it's a little different.
What you mean?
Miss Pat,
Just Niche,
Tiffany Haddish.
I'm serious.
These are people
that have been up here.
Okay.
But outside of the people
that's been up here,
Simone does stand up.
Yeah, I was going to take out
the social media comedians too.
Y'all was going to be too stuck.
I just think about people
I see on stage.
Yvonne Orgy.
These are people I've actually gone to see on stage in comedy clubs.
I just want to make sure y'all are up on Female Comics because if y'all don't know about these
four, or y'all know about me now, but then y'all doing yourself a disservice.
And there's plenty more female comics that I think I mixed in this little void.
They don't have a million followers.
They haven't been on Def Jam, but they funny as hell.
And then we get the, oh, females ain't even funny.
Like, shut up, bitch.
You don't even go to shows, you know?
So this tour, I think, will just be, like I say,
it's a new Queens of Comedy.
We out here, everybody young and fresh.
Well, we like 10, 12 years, though,
so we not like new comics.
But we just, you know.
I got to say, Lunell, too.
Lunell will see this and be like,
how the fuck you ain't on Def Comedy Jam?
Yeah, Lunell did Def Comedy Jam.
Lunell did Def Comedy Jam? So that's how the trailblazers,
they forever gonna be our favorites.
She probably did, I don't know.
Def Jam, Comic View, you know the stuff on TV
where everybody learn.
Comic View, yeah, I'm sure Lunell has done
the Comic View or Def Comedy Jam, absolutely.
For those of us who haven't done Def Jam or Comic View
or don't have.
The new ones you mean, that's in the,
okay, I got what you're saying.
So people don't, you know, we get lost in the mix.
But yeah, so y'all know for now.
Anything off the table,
with everybody being canceled so easily now?
Do you say, you know what?
I'm going to stay away from this
because it seems like everything is so sensitive now.
Everything is so sensitive,
but people got to get over that.
These are jokes.
And if we don't fight for that, right,
to just speak freely,
then what is comedy going to be in the next five years?
We're talking about plants and shit.
Nobody want to talk about that.
You talk about your troubles,
you talk about your life.
And how y'all going to tell me
how to talk about my story?
You know,
so you do have to
deliver it away
where you're not offending people.
But I pretty much
am able to say
whatever I need to say.
And I have,
you know,
I talk about abortion,
I talk about rape,
I talk about,
you know,
but this is my story.
So how are you gonna,
you sensitive
because of stuff I went through?
Go to bed.
You don't need to be
a comedy show.
So I think if the joke is written well enough,
then you can really say whatever you need to say.
What is the self-serve selfie comedy jam?
Oh, my God.
This is my documentary slash comedy special.
So that'll be my first hour I'm filming.
And I'm filming it myself.
So it's all selfie.
I'm doing everything on my phone.
So like this the whole?
I set my tripod up.
Okay.
And then I'm facing the camera, so...
Is there an audience?
It's very intimate.
The audience is behind me, though.
So the people who are, like, watching this special,
it's, like, a very intimate experience
because it's like I'm telling jokes straight to you,
whoever's scrolling.
But the audience is watching your back.
Yeah, well, yeah.
So that's weird for them.
They all looking at ass.
So I don't know, depending on how you feel.
Okay.
But that's the idea of the special.
And, you know, it's almost like going to be like
the Blair Witch Project of comedy specials.
But she's going to be so dope because I got all this BTS too
because I take my selfie stick everywhere.
And so I got interviews with comics.
I got cameos all over the place.
So it's a documentary slash comedy special.
And the point is, like, Netflix ain't busting down my door to give me a special. No, Amazon Prime. So it's a documentary slash comedy special. And the point is like,
Netflix ain't busting down my door to give me a special.
No, Amazon Prime. So it's like, I got to do this myself.
I will do it myself.
And it's going to be one of the best specials people ever seen
because it's going to be so different and it's funny.
Did you do it yet?
I'm not sure.
We are.
We filmed the actual real show.
So I got all the stuff on my phone,
but we are going to film an actual special in March.
So you haven't done it yet?
Not the...
Have you tried it yet?
Because that's going to be
a little weird
to talk this way
to hear jokes from that way.
Oh yeah, it's hard.
So yeah, I do it
in every city I go to
to practice.
So we're going to film
an actual one
professionally
and we're going to
mix it all in.
So we're going to mix
the real one in
with all the bullshit I have.
And that's...
It's almost like satire
because people are going to think
oh she really did this
but I did not have
a whole camera crew and then you see me doing it myself. So it's going like satire because people are going to think oh she really did this but I did not have a whole like camera crew
and then you see me
doing it myself
so it's going to be dope as fuck
and hopefully
this changes the way
stand up comics
are able to
deliver their stand up
because social media
whooping our ass
we're not getting up
doing sketches every day
we're not doing sketches
because that's not our element
and then the ones
that try to do it
they suck
you know
so that shit
don't even take off.
Because you're a stand-up comic, of course you can transition.
But your element is stand-up.
So we have to just realign the wheel.
We ain't got to reinvent it, but do the shit and make it.
But social media is like, damn, this is different.
And so I'm hoping once I do it, everybody start doing it,
and now stand-up comics can kind of catch up with the social media world
because you can do what you do.
I love that because, you know, we always talk about
how do you make special special.
Oh, yeah.
This is going to be the specialist special to ever special.
And people know that it's genuine,
and I'm really passionate about stand-up comics like Ashima Franklin
and Vincent Bryan and Ronnie Jordan and Michi Hall getting the light
because they are just too funny for nobody to know about.
Ronnie funny as hell. Hello!
And he brought y'all some gifts too.
Ronnie Jordan. That's my guy.
I ain't seen him in a minute, but salute to Ronnie. Shout out to Ronnie Jordan.
So he got y'all some hats and I got y'all some
HR40 shirts. But yeah,
CP Power, like it's too many.
So all of us,
and it's no way that we shouldn't be selling out our own shows.
We are the funniest out here, but we don't have no big following.
So if we start just doing shit different,
I don't have a whole bunch of different visual shit I'm going to start doing with comedy
just to make it more appealing for people on social media
because that's where the money at.
You get a million followers, you booked up the whole year.
You know.
So, yeah, I'm hoping this be a vehicle for the stand-ups to kind of catch up.
But yeah, shit gonna crack.
How would you describe a Just Niche comedy show?
Like if I came to a Just Niche comedy show,
what should I expect?
Or should I have any expectations?
You should expect to have an amazing time.
Like the Just Niche effect is like real
because it's like vibrant.
Like I exude like positive energy so even if i'm
talking about something dark i make you feel better about it because i'm just a like i just
got a happy vibe about me you know i'm blessed i ain't really no hateness i just you know i don't
hate on people but it's like you know i'm a little honest but um it's good. It's very true. It's raw.
And it's funny.
Like, I write jokes.
So I'm just not up there, you know.
So you're going to leave like, damn, I never thought of that.
That was good.
She was cool.
She was fun.
She was humble.
You know, like, so you're going to leave like, damn, that bitch raw.
And, you know, another thing I noticed about people in Chicago now, you know, because I follow Zoe on Instagram.
And, you know, I see you with the HR40 shirt.
Y'all are very involved with the politics of this city.
Yeah.
Y'all be at city council meetings, everything.
Yeah, because they be bugging us over.
They bringing all these migrants in, no shade.
But we need help too.
They like kicking people out of schools, the housing.
It's like, come on, y'all.
We've had that here too.
Yeah, and it's like, where all this money coming from?
Well, y'all can help us.
They can't find no money nowhere else but now.
Yeah, I'm a migrant, too.
You know, like, give me some of that.
So it's just like a big old slap in the face.
And I think that's why it's really important for black people to get on one accord.
Because if we all are fighting for the same issue, because we're so divided.
I need this, I need that.
No, we need y'all
to get on board
so we need
some type of reparations
states and federally.
So,
yeah,
so that's the movement
and you know,
you have to be consistent
because people get distracted
and it's something
that we have to keep doing
because they know
black people get distracted.
One more Chris Sean video,
we off track.
It's like,
no, focus y'all because we can do this
and it will take this generation. It'll be the millennials
and who after us? Gen Z?
I think it's Gen Z now, I think.
We Gen Z? Okay. No, no, we not Gen Z.
Okay. I'm 45. I damn
it. I'm at the beginning of the alphabet.
Okay, so you kicked it off. That's right.
Okay. You was the first millennial.
No, I think you right before us.
Yeah.
You was the last whatever before that was.
But we have the time.
You know, our ancestors couldn't get reparations.
They trying to live.
They just got free.
You think I'm going back?
You got something for me?
Fuck you.
I'm not.
You can have whatever you got.
I'm just trying to, you know.
So they didn't have time to fight for no reparations.
Our grandmas and them, they still getting their ass beat.
They didn't have time to fight for no reparations.
They just wanted to live.
I talk about that
in regards to mental health
all the time.
I always say that,
you know,
we're the first generation
that has the luxury of healing.
The generations before us
were just trying to survive.
And that's, yeah,
and that's exactly it.
So, you know,
we still have, you know,
our issues and barriers,
but we can come together
and do this.
So I think we owe it to them
to do it.
And it's interesting you brought up the migrant issue
because people will hear you say that
and they'll be like, oh, that's a MAGA talking point
or that's a Republican talking point.
I'm like, no, if you are actually out here
talking to people in New York City or Chicago,
I've witnessed it over the past year,
people are coming up to me, black people, Spanish people,
complaining about the migrant issue for the reasons you just said.
It's crazy.
They wanted to close down a Chicago Park District where these boys play football.
That's the only thing they got.
It's already in one of the worst neighborhoods on the west side of Chicago,
and they wanted to close that down so they could have,
I got stupid.
It's like, don't do that so yeah we gotta we just gotta we gotta get together and they're gonna have to deal with you know black people you just have to get on one accord I know
we can shut some shit down if we just do it so that'll be what I'm focusing on so I'll be pushing
that a lot and it'll be funny too like I say so I have a whole bit about it so it'll be you know
enlightening and funny and when I do that comedy have a whole bit about it so it'll be you know enlightening and funny
and when I do it at comedy shows
people don't even know
what I'm talking about
and it's like
damn why you know
you know I want some
reparations too
you know
give us a little
reparation card
something
that'll help
a little reparation card
won't you feel better
you a little reparation card
you know
until they figure it out
you know
it'll just increase
the morale of the nation
cause oh they're giving us
something now
they owe us
you know
a black Escalade
a black Escalade hello anything black Escalade, hello?
Anything black.
A barbecue grill
and a Choco
and some Grillmaster 12s.
Wouldn't you be happy?
She said a reparation car,
not car.
Oh, car.
I thought you said car.
That's what you said,
black Escalade.
Oh, black Escalade.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Car and card, shit.
Give us something.
I'll take a black card.
You said anything black
we should give free.
Anything black we get free.
Hello?
Microphones.
I don't give a fuck.
Give it to me
because we like free shit. And they can we get free. Hello? Microphones. I don't give a fuck. Give it to me. Yeah.
Because we like free shit.
And they can start doing that.
That's my stuff.
They can put a little card, give us a little reparation card, load that bitch up $1,200
a month until they figure it out.
Get a little scrimps.
Yeah.
A little lobster.
And your shit, that's black free.
You don't even come off the car.
You just swipe it for the regular shit.
But see, that's why those STEMIs went so hard.
Because if you're a person who
feel like you've
never gotten
anything from your
government ever,
like you don't even
feel seen and all
of a sudden you get
a check in the mail
for $1,200, you're
like, oh, okay.
And he put his
name on it.
And Biden sent out
stimulus checks too,
but he didn't put
his name on it.
He should put his
name on it.
Put your name on
it.
That's why I was
like, Trump
really give us the
reparations because
he just be
wiling. But yeah, we got to ask, but we have to on it. That's why I was like, Trump don't really give us the reverence because he just be wiling.
But yeah, we got to ask,
but we have to demand it.
And if we don't get it,
we have to shut shit down.
And we can shut,
the black dollar so strong.
You think we can't shut shit down?
We have a blackout day.
But to have a blackout day,
everybody has to know about the blackout day.
So it has to be a thing.
Hey, we're going to see what they do.
January 6th,
all the motherfuckers went to the White House. Yeah,uary 6 black people we shutting this bitch down we're not doing
we ain't going to work we ain't well some people might have it but you know but it really has to
be a or we'll just focus on one thing boycott this boycott that we can we can we can do it
so like i say we got the time and like i just want to spread awareness the page i started the hr 40
page it's like hr 40 moving to ig people can just
send all type of ideas on how you know how we can get stuff done and get this going i wanted to ask
you in hip-hop you know you see all these young women i mean you still got the ogs around but a
lot of these young women are like running and running the game right do you feel like it's
becoming that way in comedy yep Yep. Because I think it's
I feel like half and half.
Some of the funniest comics I know are all female.
And then you got your guys
who do good, but a lot of these niggas suck too.
You know, people are like, females ain't funny.
No! These niggas ain't funny. You just see more
of them. So if you see 10
dudes and two women and one of the women
wasn't funny, people are like, oh, women ain't funny. Shut up. Oh, yeah. But yeah, I think we are kind of taking
away, I don't know, like so many motherfuckers doing their thing. Like say the Funny by Nature
tour, everybody in that group is doing their thing. Crystal is out in Vegas doing Magic
Mike. Ashima just got a Netflix deal. Kelly Kells just did a movie. You know, so we dope.

When you hear people mention you here on Breakfast Club, what do you be sitting back thinking?
Why they never had me on that bitch?
Okay, but I appreciate it, though.

stuff I need to handle.
So I told her, I said, I don't need to be on that platform yet
