Angela Yee. I'm a sweetheart, but I'll cut you. Charlamagne Tha God. Prince of Prince of People. I can't believe you guys are the best, kid. Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. That was Bryson Tiller with Exchange. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building who I seen in the hall. I said, you're coming for war. That's not what you said. That's not what you said. Uh-oh. And a fitter. Like, he's coming to bang. What'd he say? What'd this wobble-colored negro say? Uh-oh, what'd he say? He said, Aries physical. He's not what you said. That's not what you said. Uh-oh. And a fitting, like he's coming to bang.

What'd he say? He said what this Wabakoli Negro said. Uh-oh, what'd he say? He said Aries Piers looks like he just came off the train. He said Aries Piers

got on a champion hoodie and some Timberlands. Looked like he about to stick somebody up. I said he got jacked in his outfit. That's a fair assessment. Yeah.

I came out of a cab, but... So what's been up with you, man? On the grind baby Just Just trying to stay relevant What happened to Airy Spears?

Like I told him before you walked in I was like Airy was on everything Me growing up He was like one of those guys Live movies Shows He was all over New York

You find him in the club Comedy shows You didn't want to sacrifice the goat? No no no He ain't got nothing to do But I'm just curious When you say what happened Why you say what happened?

We don't see you as much As we used to He's saying you fell off Airy I I'm just curious. When you say what happened, why you say what happened? We don't see you as much as we used to. He's saying you fell off, Aries. I did not say I fell off. That's what he's trying to say. Is he trying to say you fell off, Aries? Nah, you know, it's funny to me. I know that's not what he's trying to say, but you know, it's funny to me.

It ain't like cats don't say that. You know, I read the Twitter. I hear what people say. But, you know, people lose perspective. You know, if falling off means going to Abu Dhabi and doing one show for 80 grand, you know, then you wish to fall off. If falling off means traveling all around the country, you know, going to Europe, going to, you know,

Australia, going to Africa, doing shows with a fan base, then yeah, you wish you was me. You know what I'm saying? You know, it's like I do my job, you know, I eat for free, drink for free, I travel damn damn near for free, you know, go anywhere I want, get love, you know. It's like being a woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Being famous for a dude is like being a beautiful woman. A beautiful woman. So people's perspective is hilarious to me when they say fall off because it's like, look, if you could have my life based on what you do, and it ain't about trying to be braggadocious or nothing, but it's like, look, I could make it one weekend, what you make in a year. You know what I'm saying?

So when people say, yo, you falling off, it's like, if I fell off, then where you at? Do you think times have changed as far as being able to be the Paul Mooney type, I guess, being able to speak your mind because of social media and things like that? You know what? Not really. You would think that it has, but not really.

And I'm trying to learn a little bit and hold back a little bit more, because I know some of the things I say can sometimes be off-putting or shocking. But I'm trying to figure it out. People think that me and Kevin Hart really had a beef. There is no beef. How are you going to beef with somebody that huge? I never had a beef.

I had an opinion. What was your opinion? Because people are mad at that. I was just simply saying that it's almost like every comedian, we always have the intention of when we come out with a new joke, we want that joke to be a home run. Out of the park, grand slam. That's your intention, but it don't always work out like that. Sometimes it do, sometimes it don't.

So if your intention is to be up here and you somewhere in here, you got to, pardon me, you got to work it and craft it till you get it to that point and sometimes all it takes is a word a phrase of a physical movement a little something extra to take you from here to here and if somebody gives you the ingredient whatever that is to go from here to here how do you claim genius because if your bitch starts out like this knowing you wanted to be here then you get it here and go yo that's genius it was brilliant okay but before it be here. Then you get it here and they go, yo, that's genius. It was brilliant. Okay, but before it was brilliant, where did you get that to take it to the top? So basically you said he had writers. I'm just saying, yeah, you know, when you

got somebody that can help give you that last, you make a gumbo and you go, something's missing. Doesn't every comedian have a writer? No, every comedian doesn't. You might have writers for TV show or movie, but no, not every comic for stand-up. What about for stand-up? Nah. What about a stand-up special on TV?

Same thing. It's stand-up. It's stand-up. So many of the, if you look at a lot of comedy specials at the end of it, when you look at the credits, it says written and produced by, and nine times out of ten, it's one name. Every now and then, yeah, you might get somebody with a written by two people, but usually it's one name, one author. That's it.

This is my thing with comedians, right? Like every comedian has to mention Kevin Hart in some way, and it's never like a flattering thing, and I always wonder why. Well, I've always started off immediately by going, yo, Kevin Hart is so legit. As a talent, the boy is legit. You know what I mean? So I ain't never said he wasn't funny.

The boy is the truth. I'm just saying as far as stand-up goes, it's real hard to come out with a banging hour that consistently. And I understand, you know, he says I work hard and all that, and I get that and I respect it. But again, if you got somebody telling you, hey, man, that joke you just did, say this instead. And that's the difference between one and ten.

Maybe Kev's just that good. Again, in one sentence. As far as being able to deliver an hour every year. By himself? Written by himself? All him? Yeah, maybe. Because you got to think about how much he's on the road and how much he travels, all the different places he goes. He's got a lot of material to draw from. And a lot of that stuff is from his own life, too. Like his family, his kids.

Like he said, he doesn't really get into politics and things like that too much. He talks family, his kids. Like he said, he doesn't really get into politics and things like that too much. He talks more about his family. God bless him. God bless him. It was my opinion. You said you and Kev have no problems and he's launching his comic network. Would you do something on his comic network? He said specifically he would

have you on. Absolutely. Listen, man, if the money right, I'm there. Like I said, there never was any beef. It's a shame now that you can't say something about somebody and opinion and people run with it like it's blasphemy. You know what I think it is because you're a respected comic

also and I guess it holds more weight anything holds more weight when you say it than when somebody on Twitter says something. Right. I think people just look for drama. Comedian from Mad TV, Aerie Spears in the building. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Got that

masterpiece. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have comedian from Mad TV, Aerie Spears in the building. Now, Yee? There's this perception of comics being happy and telling jokes on stage, but in real life, they're like depressed.

You know what makes me miserable and depressed is this business. Because it's not what it should be. You know, I got into this thinking it was about your talent. You did your thing, and the next thing, boom. This stuff is so political. It's so political. It's so racist. Like, this business is dirty.

You were there. You was on A Different World. You did Mad TV. You did so many specials. Deaf Comedy Jam. You were there. I don't. You've been there. You was on A Different World. You did Mad TV. You did so many specials. Deaf Comedy Jam. You were there. I don't... You know what?

That might be easy to say from the outside looking in. But I'm telling you, it's so many pitfalls and dirtiness to this. It's unreal. What happened? Did they invite you to an Illuminati meeting? Or did you invite somebody? You're in a room and...

I'm going to give you an example. Like the girl that does the mother on Family Guy Alex Bornstein she was on Mad TV she did Miss Swan one of the most racist C words I've ever been around

really like yeah me and Debra was in the makeup room one day and you know me and Debra like brother and sister well our chemistry was there and one day we just sitting around waiting to shoot

so Alex just starts looking at her fingernails and she keeps rubbing her fingernails. And Debra used to date Pat Kilbane, the white boy on the show. So she goes, oh, my God, Pat, I got all this black dirt under my fingernails. Like I was raped by an N-word and I got the evidence to prove it. So me and Debra took offense to that. Right. So, you know, we complained. As you should.

Right. So, yeah. So we complained to the producers about it. And turn out the producers was like, Aries and Debra making trouble. And we got singled out for being troublemakers. Wow. We was troublemakers for being insulted that somebody said that. Right.

I mean, you know what I'm saying? Like, how you blame the victim? How you blame the rape? You know what I mean? And so it's like, and that's the kind of thing Hollywood is. You gotta, it's so political and so racial. You gotta watch where you step. You gotta watch what you say. Cause all

of it is crazy. At what point there had to be at least one moment where you knew, alright, they ain't rocking with me. Like was it something in a meeting or somebody you're talking to? I just, to be honest man, I felt like that for the last couple years. I truly believe to some extent,

whether it's true or not, or whether I have, I don't have any actual evidence of it, but to some degree, I believe I'm blackballed, man. What? Just because there's a stigma. Gotcha.

You know, my manager's even told me, he goes, well, you know, people will go, yeah, he's talented, but it ain't worth the trouble. We heard he's this. We heard he's that. That's true, too. People always say you have a bad attitude. So I wonder, do you think

is there anything that make you say it could be me? Yeah, I should smile more. You know, I should interact. I look like the Mahoosia Dean if I don't smile. It looks serious. Even if you smile in that hoodie, I'm walking the other way. Well, listen, man, I'm going to be honest.

I ain't going to lie. I was slightly intimidated coming here because, again, perception. From what I heard going to be honest. I ain't going to lie. I was slightly intimidated coming here. What? Again, perception. From what I heard about Charlamagne and the way people say he is, I didn't know if I'm going to come to the studio and he's going to try and test me. That's terrible. That's a terrible perception.

That's a terrible perception. I've never been that way. You've never heard that? No, I hear that all the time, but I never do that to people. Before you walked in, he said he wanted to make you cry today. No, I'm just kidding. Now, Key and Peele, because you talked about Mad TV only being like the farm league or whatever, but Key and Peele went on

to tremendous success. And it's funny because you, to me, was the face of that show more than Key and Peele. Well, one, Key and Peele got on when the Titanic was sinking. When the show was at the apex of its success and its popularity, they weren't on. Once Will left, Mo left, Debra, and a lot of the people that helped define the show during that time period,

the Titanic was sinking. The writing wasn't as strong. The cast wasn't as strong. And I think more their popularity came from their own sketch show, the Key & Peele show, than it did Mad TV. And again, God bless them, but, and again, that's another thing I caught flack for. You said that

Key & Peele weren't chosen by the black community. Black people like to go, well, what's being black? Well, I gotta talk with ghetto and slang and act ignorant. It's the essence. There's a vibe. Black people have a natural cool, a natural swagger. When a dog come in the room, smell another dog. You know what I'm saying? It's like

brothers that are black on the outside, but you could tell you smell something ain't right. They ain't got that something's missing in the gumbo. I don't know if you articulated well enough for people to understand, but I get exactly what you're saying when you say that. You know what I'm saying? I understand exactly what you mean when you say that.

But I feel like this, they seem like people I went to college with that are black. You know what I'm saying? It's just a different type of. Listen, Will Smith is educated and is articulate and is bright as any congressman or president or scholar. But he's a brother. But he's a brother. But I feel like they're just kind of nerdy.

But DMX is gutter, gully, razor in the mouth while he talk to you. And he's a brother. Now, they're two different kind of, you know what I'm saying? One's the Huxtables, one is Good Times. But they both legitimately black. Key and Peele don't have that black core. They don't. Like, you know, even Kevin Hart got a black core.

Dave Chappelle had a black core. Right, right. Listen, I'm not saying just because you're a black dude with a white woman, you're not black. But most black dudes with white women don't tend to be in touch with who they are. And the ones that are usually have white women that want to be naked. Nate Parker would disagree with you. Right.

He made a movie about Nat Turner, and he has a white wife. Well, making a movie and being who you really are is two different things. We just talked about that. I could make a movie being a semi-homosexual. That don't mean I'm homosexual. So just because you make a movie on racism don't mean you— What is a semi-homosexual? What is that?-homosexual?

What is that? We're going to leave it there. What is a semi... He's going to leave that there. You just said all in a united... What is a semi... Just a tip. Yeah.

You know what I mean, man. There you have it. There you go. The Breakfast Club. Thank you. The Breakfast Club. That was Beyoncé with Sorry. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. One of our favorite people up here today. Young Dro. Young Dro. What's good, man? You making up for lost time because you was locked up? How you going to just start it off like that?

I ain't doing it. Hey, how are you? Hey, have I been cool anymore, son? Yeah, man, I just got out. I don't think my brother drove me for it, man. And Young Joe shot us out

on his mixtape and everything. Yeah, he did. Breakfast Club. He sure did, man. Come on, listen. I had got in trouble at a college, but it wasn't my fault this time.

I was totally innocent. Well, everybody in jail laughed at me when I said that. I was like, I didn't do it. They bust out laughing, but I didn't do it. Like, we pulled up on the set. The cops, they let us in. You know, they walked me to the stage or the room or whatever, and I changed

and went on the stage and performed. Then I'm performing. You know, you seen the Jews movie? Yeah, hell yeah! Dude come in like, you, you, I'm like, me? Like, yeah, right now. So I come off the stage. We walk outside.

They got the car surrounded. My man Spody walk up to me like, yo, bro, it's a trip in the car. It's like a tool in the car. I'm like, all right. We know who that is.

You know what I mean? So they asked me, they was like, so they was like, this your gun? I'm like, I really don't know about a gun. All these years we've been performing. I don't throw guns to shows. That's not what I mean? So they asked me. They was like, so they was like, this your gun? I was like, I really don't know about a gun.

All these years we've been performing. I don't talk guns to shows. That's not what I do. So he was like, it's a gun in the car. I was like, it's somebody's in the car. I'm not the pointer. You feel me? Man, we just didn't want to.

Tell on the person. Yeah, we don't do that. Don't make me point at you. But see, I hate people like that in your crew. If that's your gun, man, say that's your gun. Unless this would have been it for him. No, man. So the cop was cool.

He was like, yo, y'all just get it together because, you know, one of y'all taking this. I'm going to give y'all a moment. Yeah, that man gave us a moment. It took like 10, 15 minutes. He was like, F that. Put the cuffs on, Joe. I was like, for real? He put me in the back of the car, man.

I'm looking out the back of the car like, man, my mama going to get y'all. My mama going to get y'all. Boy, I went and I tell my mama this, bro. You can't even eat on my house no more. Ain't no more collard greens for you, Spody. You can't eat no more. But we go to jail, bro. We sitting.

They found weed, you know what I mean? Stuff like, you know, hip-hop stuff. Yeah. Hip-hop stuff. Weed. Weeds. Some lean. Who told you?

You said Yeah Yeah What Charlamagne just said But That's like It wasn't even That much stuff You know

The weed was less than an ounce I took Initiative to say You know Since we all in here Let's just go ahead And split the charges up Cause I'm from the

You know Hey man look I take the weed You take that You gotta talk to a lawyer before you start splitting up charges. But no, no.

No, because we don't want to talk to no lawyer because we can just make bond and we'll deal with that later. But for now, all of us has the same charge.

Yeah, yeah. You feel me? So the lawyer's going to say, what you going to take? You feel me? But you got to have this worked out.

We 50 steps behind. Man to man down there is, he done went into a phase. He's like, yo, I got a career. I'm like, who the fuck that guy? My boy Spody. I'm like, bro, come on.

But that's still your boy, Spody? Spody. Yeah. My boy, you know. That was my partner. I guess it wasn't for me because he turned the story around and was like, they're just saying the gun is mine because of who Dro is. No, man.

It's his gun. He has a record. No, he didn't. Man, I'm not like, bro. No. We cuffed, like, from the waist down. I'm trying to slide so I can headbutt him, you know what I mean? You know what I mean?

I'm like, bro, you know I'm going to get you, bro. You feel me, bro? And we ended up doing, like, 35 days. Like, so it's been a crazy. Oh, y'all had to do it? Yeah, we just sitting. And we're in Bullitt County. It's slow. The courtroom is about this big, the size of this room.

So the people's in there got 30, 40. You're getting 30 and 40. Like, because it was like a town that had like surrounding states. So everybody was a flight risk. They don't give buns and set bells and stuff like that too often. Two, three times a year. So really, we've really got, you know, we had to pay like a lot of money for

lawyers. The Migos had went down there before. And I guess they, whatever they did, but it was like, you know the Migos? They was like, yeah, you better ask the Migos what we did to them. I was like, I honestly don't know what you're talking about. It was messed up. So we sat down there 35 days.

The last day we sat down there, dude was sitting in there. We was going to court. I looked. I was like, bro, you're not going to take the charge. He was like, bro, you ain't got no gun, bro. Wow. I couldn't believe it, bro. Don't lie to me.

I didn't lie to me. We rode down here together, my brother. And he was like, yeah, man. So they moved the boy out of the room. I'm cool. And he was like, yeah, man. So they moved the boy out of the room. I feel for my life from Droll. I'm like, bro,

I hired you to come on the road to open up. Like, how you feel for your life? Like, that was crazy. So we did that time, got out. It set me back.

Like, I missed like seven shows. I'm trying to currently make those up. I got three daughters, you know what I mean? I'm not, and a son.

I just had a son, and I'm like, I ain't trying to sit down just had a son, a one-year-old. I ain't trying to sit down here either, bro. And Jocelyn pregnant now. Congratulations. You got a baby on the way. You know what I mean, bro? You out here working.

So you think that's my baby? We read it on the blog. You said no comment. Why didn't I just say no, bro? What if it's my baby? What if it is? He said, you don't know. You're probably the only man that can prove that she a real woman then, because I thought

that was a man for the longest. That's a real woman, bro. I would not be in cahoots with, like, Cahootz. Is that the right term? No. I would not be associated with a man that looks like a woman. It's a problem right there, bro. You just got to look at it.

Yeah, Adam's out, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there is a chance that could be your baby. You just don't know yet? I'm the baby dad. Are you? Psych! You're dead with it.

I'm not the baby dad. All right. We got more with Young Joe when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. That was for free, DJ Khaled. Drake, morning, everybody.

It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Young Dro is in the building. Did you think T.I. was out of line for coming at Wayne? Black lives what? I'm richer than a mother. Come at me with that shit. I saw that shit.

I was like, I clinched an embarrassment. I was like, no, I don't like that. Yeah, I want you. No, that was not cool. I mean, I get it what he was saying. Like, you know, he's successful, you know, and, you know, a lot of people do stuff to, you know, get the police involved. And, you know, you shouldn't stand behind nobody in their room.

But you're a part of the stuff that's happening. Like your skin tone, it shows it. You feel me? Yeah. And we're not getting a good end of the stick. You know, I think all lives matter for that cause. Cause everybody was saying T.I. was wrong for publicly calling him out because they're friends. He could have called him on the phone. Well, Reggie said that too. No, was saying T.I. was wrong for publicly calling him out because they're friends and he could have called him on the phone.

No, no, no. You can't say that because that was a public thing he did. I agree. You answer him back publicly. Damn right. You know what I mean? Somebody whooped your ass outside, whooped their ass back outside. I ain't gonna whoop your ass in the house. I ain't gonna no one whoop your ass. Yeah, I gotta whip you on Worldstar too.

You gonna beat Worldstar? Nah, see, I look at it like if your friend says something stupid or something that don't make sense. You suppose it's. But you might call him and check him on the line and say, I'm going to check you. But I think you should reach out and call. If that's your. Well, it's not. Because it's not like Lil Wayne directing those comments to T.I.

That's not a check. That's a premeditated. And the T.I. responding. That's like reality show stand up type. That's like, all right. How many times you said something crazy and I'm sure T.I. called you and was like, bro. But Drone ain't say nothing publicly that affects everybody. He may say something that affect him.

But not the whole life. T.I. would probably call Dron. My life don't matter. My life don't matter. Yo, man. Period. Yeah, but I saw that. I get it, but I don't get it.

There's a lot of stuff going on right now. I got children, and I wouldn't want my son to be a Trayvon Martin. You know, I wouldn't want him to do that. It was Arizona juice. You know what I mean? Come on, man. You just got to understand that it's a lot of stuff going on. When I seen the guy get pulled over in Charlotte or whatever, that was sick, man.

He was just walking back to the truck, bro. You know, he was laying on the ground. That matters, bro. He was just walking back to the truck, bro. You know, he was laying on the ground. That matters, bro. You feel me? If you in a bubble where you can't see that, I want to be in your bubble. I want to go live on Wayne Street because there's a lot of stuff happening on my street. Was it one embarrassing moment or something that you looked at, you saw yourself? Yeah, I had like 30 days to sit down, 35 days.

And then, like, for me not to be done, did nothing at that time, it was something else going on. So I just had to, I want to go to heaven at the end of the day. Absolutely. Look at skin looking good and smooth. Teeth looking good. I want to go. What did I look like, drone last time I came in?

I know why you ain't calling me. Why you ain't calling me, Angel. You didn't look bad. You ain't got me, Angel. You didn't look bad. My teeth. I was Jerome when I came here last time. Clearly my teeth were rising. This is a new Jerome. Listen, it's a rehab facility in Atlanta.

I'm telling you, whatever they did for Jerome and Gucci, this is where everybody needs to attend. I'm tired of Gucci, man. Are you going to church every Sunday, Jerome? Not every Sunday. Yeah. But I want to go back to where everybody needs to attend. I'm tired of Gucci, man. Are you going to church every Sunday, Drew? Not every Sunday. But I want to go back to where I used to, but I'm kind of ashamed to go, because I cry too much.

I can't do it. With your glasses on. You be good with your glasses on. If you come through tickling my jaw. And you just be like, there you go. Is it the choir or the sermon? The choir. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the song always. What song is it? You want me to just sing? you just want me to open it.

You want me to sing the song? I just want to know the song. Center of my joy. Center of my joy. Center of my joy. Center of my joy. Yeah, it was the first song I ever sung in church for my grandma. So, yeah, it kind of takes me there.

Give the people something. Dro the Judge might be watching. Jesus. Help Charlemagne because he's trying to make me sing. There you have it. The new, improved Young Dro. You want to leave us with a prayer? Yeah.

Come on. Oh, boy. Dear God, thank you for this breakfast that we had at the club. Not the nightclub. It was actually a radio station. Thank you for Charlemagne for not cracking jokes in the worst way. Our trio, y'all, did good today. Our trio, you. Thank you for Charlamagne for not cracking jokes in the worst way. Our trio, y'all, did good today.

Our trio, you. Thank you, God. Amen. Amen. All right. Young Joe. Never had a prayer like that before. Good morning.

That was Needed Me, Rihanna. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Ladies, hold on to your panties. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Ladies, hold on to your panties. Oh, man. Maxwell! Maxwell is here. What's up,

sir? I'm trying, man. What's going on? I'm glad you're here because I saw... Oh, you do Snapchatting, Maxwell? I love it. Go ahead and post it. You can't save it because you'll be thinking about it the whole interview. I just messed up my snap. That was a really good snap. And you just erased it.

Y'all, we out here. Maxwell. Maxwell. I'm trying. I'm doing my best. Breakfast Club. I know your DMs be popping. Actually, yes, they do.

He said, yes, they do. Yes, they do. Yes, they definitely pop. Yeah, you know, Snapchat me that. You know. It's an interesting world, though, because obviously I'm 42, so it's like I can't imagine what it would be like to be a 14 year old with all of the social media the way it's going down. Why haven't you connected with the people in so long, man?

Seven years. Seven years. Right. Did you even realize that? You know, I don't. I got to tell you, I get anxiety about just trying to meet the challenge of what I did before and at the same time I don't want to play myself and try to look like I'm trying to be in the moment with all the kids

Doing a record with Future? Well no and don't get it twisted, I know and love all of those records, like I mess you know, I listen to all, everything I mean I listen to some really dark raunchy trap like all of that, but What are you feeling right now?

Definitely, you know, Yo Gotti, definitely Travis Scott. I mean, you know, I listen to, I mean, I be in the club, so I know what these songs are and I can sing with them. But I always have to be really concerned about the brand and like what I've done, you know, starting in 96. And the fact that like my music is what you go home to after you've been where you've been and hopefully it's with your family hopefully it's what you do on sunday mornings when you cook in you get married to it you having kids to it those types of things so i

think about those issues as i see the ever-changing situation out there in the music world now you talked about the pressure now is it a lot of pressure? Because you've always been, I say, left. You never went with trends. I mean, from your first album to your videos. Is there pressure staying different and staying in that lane and being as big as those other songs and other albums? Yeah, for sure.

No doubt. I'm not going to lie to you about that, but that's part of the fun. You know, part of the challenge of putting something together is saying to yourself, well, how can I maintain relevancy but still be, this is always the greatest thing that I want is timelessness. Because so many people come and go. There are certain rules to the game about how you do that.

And I think that if you stay true to the basics, you know, of what we're trying to exemplify, which is I don't get, I'm not too detail-oriented about shoes and cars. And, I mean, I'm just kind of a, you know, we, I just talk, I try to talk about the bigger things in terms of just like, you know, heartbreak, pain, betrayal, wanting to get somebody back for hurting you, not feeling like you're good enough. Those basic things are what we always feel no matter what the watches that weekend, no matter what the sneaker is, no matter what the new car is, whatever it is.

Those are the things that we are always connected by. How did you handle the fame when it came to these women, man? Because you're fresh out, making all this great R&B music. I'm sure girls was throwing it at you 100 miles per hour. But not only that, the types. Because he didn't have, if you think about it, he had quote, unquote, earthy women. Earthy. Models.

What does earthy mean, though? How come the earthy is, you know. Just clarify. Does that mean big? No, no, no. But you have big women at your shows, too. I'm good with big. The ones that shave when they want to, wear onks.

Right. That's cool. You have models. Models. There's so many different. The Monique type chicks. Exactly. want to, wear onks. Right, that's cool. You have those. You have models. It's so many different. The Monique-type chicks. Exactly. And then I feel you.

Well, look, I just think everything is beautiful. And the weirdest thing for me is, like, when I look out into the audience, because there'll be bad ones out there, but the one that is the shyest, the one that maybe feels like, you know, I need to, like, you know, lose a few here, lose a few there, that's usually the one I focus right on because I feel like I was. You're a predator. You pick on the insecure ones? Jesus Christ, Maxwell.

I just want to make them feel good. Right. You know, at the end of the day, that's my job on stage. I just want to make you feel good, and everyone's gorgeous, everyone's sexy. But, you know, for me, I'm kind of a brain person so it's like i think that the situations that sort of like will come to me on a personal level because i uh will be more mental i'm 42 so it's like beauty i understand beauty beauty is amazing but when you wake up with someone after 10 years you don't even remember that beauty part of it you just know

that you have a friend you just know that know that you got somebody that's holding you down. Hopefully, like my friend and manager, John, you have someone who's raising your kids. That's, you know, the day in and the day out of that, like all that stuff fades, you know? You have kids? No, not yet. Oh, you said raising your kids. I thought you had some kids.

Maybe I do. I don't know. What you waiting on to let some of that legendary sperm go, man? Well, you know what? I have this new... Actually, you know, it's interesting that you should bring this up, sir.

The legendary sperm. I have a marketing plan. Instead of the albums, it'll be sperm. So I'm just going to market the sperm. You want to get pregnant by Maxwell,

buy my new album. Buy my new album. It's right there. No, no. That'll work. I'm just saying it's a new plan. I might put a single with it.

Okay. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Maxwell in the building. Like, I ain't gonna forget. I've been to one of your shows. I've been to two of your shows.

And my wife likes to go to your shows. I went with my wife now. But I went when she was my girl and stuff. And I realized I ain't going to no more Maxwell shows. Because these shows ain't for men at all. It's just a bunch of screaming women. He ain't thinking about us. My wife goes with her friends.

She all hot and bothered. I'm like, go there, get excited, and bring your ass home. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I've been with my wife one time, and I felt a little funny. Because everybody's screaming. I'm sitting in the corner like a sucker. So I'm like, you know what?

You bring your girlfriend next time when he did fortunate i went to sleep because i was like it's like it's like being it's like sitting by your girl while she watching scandal she ain't paying you no attention none it's basically like when you guys are watching the basketball game right football yeah so this is like their revenge on you basically that is the fact i am the revenge of all those times. But no. Mad pelvic thrust. Mad pelvic thrust. I'm like, if he thrusts one more time. Hey man, that ticket is expensive. I mean, I gotta put work in, but I'm just, look,

at the end of the day, you get to take him home. And you get to get situations that you probably never imagined would happen. I'm just, I can't believe it's 20 years later, guys. That's all I gotta say. And I'm so happy that I'm kicking it with you because I hear you guys in the morning. You guys are funny.

Appreciate it. You're real people. You know, you're in situations sometimes because you gotta speak about things and whatever, but, you know, I just appreciate all the support throughout the years and I got you on those dance records on this new album. Okay. How do you feel about the term neo-soul? Because people always give you credit for being the star of that.

I can't say that because D'Angelo was released in 95. I have to admit with great respect to him that when he was set off, it really made everybody at the label really understand. Because I was already done with my album. I was just sitting on the sidelines. I was on the bench. So, you know, I give credit to D for being the person to sort of really get my record off the shelf. And then I give a lot of credit to the radio stations

that just, they played it without an understanding what this was about. Because, you know, I looked crazy. You know, I was big old hair and everything. And, you know, having all the weird West Indian type of thing, which that's not atypical, really, for an R&B person. Usually they're from the South. Usually they're like, like with D'Angelo, his story is so perfect. Like he's from Richmond, Virginia.

He played in the church. You know, like my dad's from Puerto Rico. My mom's from Haiti. Like I'm like first generation from Brooklyn. You know, I didn't's from Puerto Rico, my mom's from Haiti. Like I'm like first generation from Brooklyn. You know, I didn't feel black enough, really. So for me, it was like, man, I hope my people like this music as much as I love them. And, you know, 20 years later, it's just nice to know that I was. I always wondered why you didn't do many features.

Like there's pretty much no Maxwell features. Yeah, yeah. You know, well, I mean, look, I'm not saying I'm better than anybody because there's a lot of people out there that I like,

but a lot of my choices are kind of like family-type choices. Like, Nas was signed, released in 95. I was there in 96. So y'all kind of grew up together.

Yeah, you know, I was shocked that he'd even like my music because, you know, he's Nas, he's hip-hop, my stuff shocked that he'd even like my music because, you know, he's an Oz, he's listening to hip-hop, my stuff is all smooth, and we developed a friendship, and you know, we basically

worked on something once on one of his records, Street Kings, and then you know, we just did the Barkley thing together and, you know, we have more plans to do more business stuff together because we just get on. And then Alicia Keys, who I knew at 15 at Columbia when she was signed there,

she was kind of like my special guest on her first album. So I know her, I know Swears, I know kids. I thought you were going to do a joint

with Jay-Z and J.D. at one time because during the Money in a Thing video, when he's sitting there, they're playing it in the background. I'm like, oh,

here it goes. Oh my God, that's my next move. I mean, you know, if Jay is listening, because we're friends and I see him all the time and I know his wife. I've heard of his wife. Yeah, his wife is cool. I'm from Brooklyn.

He's from Brooklyn. You know, it'd be amazing. I think he makes, I think he is the Frank Sinatra of hip hop because all of his beats, he never plays himself. Never. I mean, literally, and the craziest thing is when Reasonable Doubt came out, he always just chooses like the classic things

and you can listen to all those records forever and that's rare, man. Like, people don't understand it's so much harder to make hip-hop classic because there's so many ways that you could really play yourself

with all the new trends and the new things that people do with Volcoder and whatever and blah, blah, blah. You could dress like R. Kelly. R. Kelly could dress like he 18. Well, you see, I can't say nothing bad about him.

I mean, fortunate, I never sing anybody's records. I'm fortunate when I heard it. It wasn't actually the first song, but when I mean, fortunate, you know, I never sing anybody's records. I'm fortunate when I heard it. It wasn't actually the first song, but when I heard it, I was like, because you just gotta pay respect to him because that guy can just, I mean, he could just pee out a song, you know?

Whoa! Great! Maxwell! Yes! Yes, Maxwell! Yes! Nobody even had to set you up for that one. That was great! Out of all the bodily fluids you could have said, you said pee out. Oh, God, please. Mr. Kelly, please don't.

Yes, Maxwell. Yes. I didn't mean to do that. I was going to say something else, but I didn't want to say that because it's a curse. The universe made you say what you needed to say. Oh, man. We appreciate you, man.

Yes. That was Drake with Controller. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest. This is the only guest in Breakfast Club history that has ever smoked a pimp. And you're not going to tell Snoop Dogg, no.

No, no. We sure didn't. Did we get in trouble for that? No. No. Hey, Snoop. Snoop Dogg. Hey. We just didn't. Did we get in trouble for that? No. No. Hey, Snoop Dogg! Hey!

We just had a healthy debate with Drama. Is Snoop the most famous rapper in the world? I said yes. Globally. Globally. He said no matter where you go in this world, no matter who it is, race, age, everybody knows Snoop Dogg. I said it was between you and Hope.

He said you are the biggest brand. I don't know. It's like an out-of-body experience for me. It's hard for me to say because I live with me every day. So I don't know who the, you know, the biggest rapper is globally. But I do know that when I do go certain places, like, it's hard to try to, like, camouflage, disguise, whatever. Even Baby Girl at the front desk, I just gave her another picture. What's her name?

Miss Anita. That's my baby. That's my baby, yes. She smoked, too, so slip her a little something. That's my baby. She got that. I give her a nip. I give her her another picture. What's her name? Miss Anita. That's my baby. That's my baby, yes. But is it? Have you ever gone anywhere? She smoked, too, so slip her a little something. That's my baby. She got that. I give her a nip.

I give her a nip. When's the last time you've been somewhere and haven't been recognized? Has that happened? See, it doesn't happen. On some real talk, I'm being honest with you. I don't even remember the last time it's been like that. I done been to grocery stores, churches, underwater. Underwater.

Underwater. I didn't even. Look, churches, underwater. Underwater. I didn't even, look, this is the crazy part. I done been and done some, you know, homeless work where you go down there and feed the homeless and the homeless be like, Snoop Dogg, what's happening, dog? I'm like, man, how do you know me? You ain't got no TV, you ain't got no what you think. So I don't know, I can't figure it out. And you just have adjusted to this social media era so well.

Like, it's a famous meme, but it got you with your head scarf on. Oh, I look like somebody auntie? Hey, Charlamagne, I don't care, though. One thing about me. You be posting. You be posting. When people make fun of me, when they clown me, when they put me in a girl body with my head on it or with a rabbit suit on, I see it.

I throw it up, and I'm like, who did this to me? And I go right into the joke. So I don't understand when people get offended when I do that to them, when I do it to myself. It'm like, who did this to me? And I go right into the joke, so I don't understand why people get offended when I do that to them, when I do it to myself. It's like, it's all fun and games to me. As long as it's funny, it should be okay. That's what it should be about. You know, when I got into the social media game, I didn't really understand it

because I was like, I don't really want people in my business like that. But then I was like, damn, I'm the type of person that always go up to the fans, I always do this anyway, so I might as well just open up and, you know, let them be a part of my world every day. Now, we've seen a video of you and Game walking to the precinct in L.A. What was that all about? Explain that. Why did you guys have to, felt like you had to do it? Well, the

morning before it happened, Game, it hit me and he was like on 100. And he was hot, and I was hot. We was just mad at all of the violence that was happening to these innocent people by the police. So, you know, I was ready to do whatever. So I was basically following his lead because I felt like it's a young man's game and he's younger than me and he's going to take the lead and I'm going to follow this soldier. When he hit me back, I told him, I said, look, I don't want you to overreact.

I want you to think about everything that you're going to do and put a real plan together and hit me when you get your plan together and I'm with you. So then he went and made a call to Farrakhan for three hours and did all the things he had to do to prepare himself. Then he hit me back at about three in the morning and was like, meet me here at five in the morning. He didn't say nothing else. So I'm like, I don't know what's going on. So I got dressed to go to war.

Yeah, you look like you was ready to win. You had on the chucks and the flat on. Hold on, you didn't even say, let's think about this at all. He just gave. When you get the back call, Charlamagne, you just show up. I wasn't going to be putting my shoes on. I'm going to hold on. I'll be there.

I was there. So when I get there, I'm fully loaded and ready to go. And I'm looking around. They passing off shirts and everybody on peace. And he got us all in a circle. And he said something that was so deep. He was like, you know what? I didn't even know what I was going to do when I came here,

but now that I'm looking at the spirit of everything, this is what I want to do, and I want you all to follow me on this. I want us to walk down to the precinct and reintroduce ourselves to the police department and let them reintroduce themselves to us so we can get some sort of dialogue going. And we listened to him, and we was like, man, that's kind of dope because we never talk to the police unless it's too late. Let's get that understanding right now. So while we're walking down there, police escorting us there.

Then when we get there, come to find out, the new recruits are graduating right now, about to go hit the streets in a matter of 24 hours, and we're standing outside. And the chief of police is there, and the mayor is there. So they hear that we're outside marching peacefully with the Nation of Islam with us. So they send a word that the chief would love

to meet with me, Game, and two other of our people with the mayor behind closed doors. So we went up there, talked with them, chopped it up, got some understanding, wasn't arguing, wasn't talking bad, wasn't, you know, down planning. We was trying to get some understanding and some dialogue.

They had a couple of meetings since then, and it's looking like it's going to be a great situation in L.A. with the police and the communities because we sick and tired of talking after the fact when we could talk before the fact. It's been going on forever, especially in L.A. The first time that we ever saw real police violence was the Rodney King take. But it's never been communication.

And one thing about L.A., we have sheriffs and we have police department. The sheriff's department have minor incidents because they are sent to the county jail for 18 months as a part of their training before they hit the streets. The LAPD don't get no communication with the streets until they hit the streets. So there's a miscommunication on the jump. If you're scared, you never dealt with nobody from the hood, you don't know what he look like, how he get out, you already got a different perception on him.

But if you've been in the county jail and you've been around him, you know they lingo, they know you, it's a different perspective. When the sheriffs pull up, all the sheriffs want is doping guns. If you ain't got no doping no guns, they letting you go, they not going to shoot you. Well, they don't shoot you that much. But they not going to shoot you on GP. The LAPD, they got a different agenda.

So we was trying to get that understanding on, let's get some different protocols so they can be around these people in the community before they start policing this community. Keep it locked. Snoop says The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was Tory Lanez with Love.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Snoop Dogg's in the building now. Charlamagne? Did you learn how to de-escalate stuff? Like, probably during, like, do you wish you had that same mentality during the whole East Coast, West Coast fiasco?

I think I did at the Source Awards. That was a perfect example of de-escalation because Suge Knight had it escalated to, I seen people reaching for pistols, and I seen pistols in there. There was no police security. It was all hood security. It was New York versus Death Row Records at that point.

And my conversation on that stage brought New York to a point to where they said, you know what? We're going to let y'all get out of here. To us, that looked hostile. It was very hostile because it was me saying that I know where I'm at, but at the same time, y'all know this is gangster rap that we do.

We don't just talk it, we live it. So, if you really, really in the mix, this is what takes place in the mix, and at that time, Puffy wasn't with it like that. He was making his music. He wasn't with the, you know, I ain't with the rock rock. I'm with the music. Suge was with the rock rock. wasn't with the, you know, I ain't with the rock rock. I'm with the music.

Suge was with the rock rock. And it's like, you know, it was a fine line because Puffy then was my friend. But I'm riding with Death Row. And at the same time, I'm in New York. So it's like if I don't say the right words, we all going to get killed. Damn. So why come back and kick the buildings over? Because something happened.

Because something happened that I ain't gonna speak on that we took that on the chin and said we'll just get it back on this side. You know what I'm saying? Like when you're involved into the art of war, certain losses you take, certain, you know, sacrifices you make. It come with the territory. And we knew where it came from.

We knew who sent the shot. And we never had a problem with him. We allowed that to happen because we knew in the art of war that's what happens when you're getting busy. You got to take what you get. You know what I'm saying? So it was like we lived through it. We survived it. We forgave and we forgot and we moved forward.

The parties that was involved, we met behind closed doors and we got to understand it. Yeah, I know you sent that at me. That was a good shot. You missed though. I forgive you. We're going to move forward. I ain't going to send nothing at you when you're on my side. We gravy? We gravy?

We good. Can you tell the story about Nas, man? That was the first time you met Nas, you said? Yeah, the first time I met Nasty Nas, I was in Gardena on 136th, 35th, one of those streets. And that's a crip neighborhood. Yeah. Shotguns. And I was out there hanging tough with my own boys

and a white van pulls up and they got like about 15, 16 people in it. All of a sudden, the door opens. Oh, some dude jump out. His sweatpants is lifted up to his knee with some boots on.

And he's got on red sweats. He got on all red. Running right towards me. So the homies is like, they all draw, they finna draw down on him. I'm like, hold on, cuz, that's the rapper from New York. That's Nasty Nas, cuz. So he come over to me and he shake my hand. I'm like, huh, it's a pleasure to meet you, but let me let you know.

When you ever in L.A., don't ever jump out with no red or no blue on because you don't know what neighborhood you in, loved one. Take my number down so I'll holler at you next time you come to the city. Crazy, because I'll tell you the time Nas pulled out a gun on me. I ran up on Nas like that. What? I ran up on Nas. I had mixtapes in the bag.

I ran up on him just like that. You're Nas. I got something for you. And I was going in my bag to pull it out. Not a good idea. By the time I came out here, I had a gun on me. That made it sound sketchy. What you got for me?

I said, it's a CD. I got something for me. I got something. What you got? Richard'sy. What you got for me? I said, it's a CD. I got something for me. I got something. What you got? Richard's bag. What you got for me? You used to roll like that at one point. You used to have the briefcase.

Yeah, all that old stuff, man. Hey, Charlamagne, I'm peace now. What I understood about moving with the peace, when I had the gun, have gun, problems will travel. You know what I'm saying? They say have gun, will travel. Have gun, problems will travel. When I removed the gun from my game, I had

less issues because I was able to finesse and able to be more strategic with my conversation. When I had the gun with me, I was reckless because I had that thing and I thought that thing was the... You know, just like everybody else with one of them things, their conversation is more reckless. When you ain't got one, you're more understanding.

And that's where I wanted to be. I wanted to be about peace as opposed to pushing violence. You said you first smoked weed with your son, right? My oldest son. We did that questionnaire on the Breakfast Club, I think. Would you smoke weed with your child to keep him from doing it in the street? Yeah, because like I say, what I'm going to give him is the righteous way. I don't know

what y'all going to put in there. You may lace it. You know, it may be... I don't know. Because it happened to me before. I've been laced with some things, so I don't trust the game. So I would rather get them, you know, school for me personally on the understanding of what is and what not and what to do and what not to do. I think they did that to you on purpose because they know you Snoop. And everybody want to outsmoke Snoop.

So let me lace this blunt real quick just to say I outsmoke Snoop. I don't even take blunts from people no more. You know, I used to be in the crowd. I used to be reckless, man. I'd be in the crowd and they'd hand me a blunt. I'd be like, oh. But then I'd start looking at these people like, ew. I'm cold.

I'm cold. I'm going to tell you how you influenced me recently. We were having a cookout, and I was going to make some turkey franks. Oh, ew. And then my friend was like, you got to see Snoop finding out what is in these hot dogs, and you're not going to eat that again. You know we threw the pack of Franks out. Give me some.

Tell us what's in the hot dog and turkey Franks. No, it ain't. That's the same. For real? It's the same machine, man. It's nasty, man. Did you see that? You have to see it.

It'll make you never eat it again. I'm telling you. It's horrible, man. I can't get out. I used to come to New York. My hotel got a hot dog man that stood right on the corner. Me and Cub been cool for 20 years. I don't even look at him no more.

I just walk right past him. He like, Snoop, my hot dogs are waiting for you. No, I'm good, cuz. I seen what y'all doing. I'm cool on you. DMX was here a few weeks ago. He ate four of them. I saw that.

No, he didn't. He threw up immediately. No, he did. He ate four of them. I saw that. No, he didn't. He threw up immediately. No, he did. Four of them right on the corner. He was drunk, ate four and threw up immediately. But they gave him a whole bottle. He drank a whole bottle of Henny

and then he was hungry and then he had four hot dogs threw up all over the street. That's my dog, right? He the only person that ever got me to drink Hennessy at an awards show. Wow.

And I mean at an awards show that's on TV. Like, we was at the Grammys or something. He was sitting like two seats down and he had a Hennessy bottle. He was just, Big Dog, you want some? And I couldn't even say no. I was like,

yeah, get in here, cuz. And I'm like, whoa. And we sitting up in there getting drunk in the Grammys in front of all these white folks with real Hennessy, no cups, straight out the bottle. Shout out to DMX for keeping it hood. Snoop, you ain't never cared about your image in front of white folks. Isn't this crazy? Snoop, we appreciate you joining us. Man, thank front of white folks. Isn't this crazy? Well, Snoop, we appreciate

you joining us. Man, thank y'all for having me, man. This is one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. Y'all solid with me. I've done interviews with y'all individually and together, and I love what y'all stand for. Continue success. I'm glad to see y'all on the real TV network, too.

Thank you, my brother. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Snoop Dogg! Hello! I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Donkey of the day goes to a math teacher in Mobile, Alabama. Salute to everybody listening to us on 100.3 The Beat in Mobile. Now, when I first reported this, the teacher hadn't been identified by the school,

but Mobile held me down like I knew they would, and they hit me up on social media, at C to God on Instagram, at C to God on Twitter, C-T-H-A-G-O-D, and this teacher has been identified as Joanne Boser. Okay, parents say she's set to retire this year. Now, she is a veteran educator, and she's in her last year before retirement, and she clearly doesn't give a damn anymore. She's like President Barack Obama

in his last year in the White House. You think he don't give a damn? He don't give a damn. Just freeing and shortening the sentences of drug offenders, inviting rappers over. He don't care. F what y'all talking about. I'm out this bitch.

And this teacher in Mobile, Alabama must be feeling the same way because she gave her kids what is being called a gang math test. What's that? Let me repeat and I'll tell you. She gave her kids what is being called a gang math test. Yes, this teacher was teaching the kids a little crypt calculus, some basic blood math.

Yes, according to the NY Daily News, the math teacher was put on administrative leave after she handed out a racially charged math test to her eighth grade students that made gang references about drive-by shootings prostitution and drugs i can't make this kind of stuff up people i'm not that good all right parents at burns middle school were outraged to find out their kids had been given a 10 question quiz where you had to put your gang crew name at the top on the example i saw somebody put the plug for that and it had questions like Ramon has an AK-47 with a 30 round clip. He usually misses 6 out of every 10

shots and he uses 13 rounds per drive by shooting. How many drive by shootings can Ramon attempt before he has to steal enough ammunition and reload? Another question is Leroy has 2 ounces of cocaine. If he sells an 8 ball to Antonio for $320 and 2 grams to Juan for 85 per gram,

what is the street value of the rest of his hold? I bet you know the answers, though. I really don't. Hold up. Okay? Because this might be my favorite one. LaShonda is a lookout for the gang. Lacuna also has a boa constrictor that eats five rats per week at a cost of $5 per rat.

If LaShonda makes $700 a week as a lookout, how many weeks can she feed the boa on one week's income? First of all, who the hell got boa constrictors in the hood just lying around? Y'all think I'm making this up. Let's go to the New York Daily News for the report, please. A Mobile, Alabama math teacher was put on administrative leave after she handed out a racially charged math test to her eighth grade students that made gang references like drive-by shootings prostitutions and drugs parents at the burns middle school were outraged to find their kids had been given the 10 question quiz asking them to answer questions about turning

tricks stolen bmws and knocking up women. Do I even have to tell y'all why this is wrong? Four weeks. He could feed the boat constrictor for four weeks. Shut up, Pete. Do I even have to tell y'all why this is wrong? Okay. Let me read one more.

See if Angela can get this one. Okay, all right. Tyrone knocked up four girls in the gang. Hold on. Four girls. There are 20 girls in his gang. Okay. What is the exact percentage of on. Four girls. There are 20 girls in his gang. Okay. What is the exact percentage of the girls Tyrone not selling? 20%.

Okay. I got another one. Dwayne pimps three hoes. Three hoes. Okay. And then they ask the students to figure out how many tricks each of the hookers must turn in a day to support Dwayne's crack habit. I'm not. That's just. Well, I don't understand. How do you know that?

Listen, man. Teachers, you don't have to How do you know that? Listen, man, listen. Teachers, you don't have to try to be cool. This isn't what's popping in these streets. We shouldn't legitimize the gang and drug culture via math tests, making it seem like these are some honorable professions that are worthy of being turned into math equations. How about deal with the reality of the situation and ask the kids questions like,

if Tyrone gets caught with 40 kilos of cocaine, three illegal guns, and one dead body in the trunk, how many years will he get under the jail? How about if Shamika pulls out a gun and shoots near a schoolyard at a rival gang member named Shaquanna, but accidentally shoots a 12-year-old boy in the head and kills him, how long will that 12-year-old boy be dead, and how much time in prison will Shamika get?

The answer for all those questions should be forever. Okay? Listen, man, I don't know what kind of world we live in anymore. It's bad enough that, you know, the criminal lifestyle has been commercialized via music, TV, movies, and I'm fine with that to a certain extent, but now it's invading the classroom? Why? What is the reason these images are being planted in our kids' heads, making it seem like this criminal behavior is normal? What if none of these kids have ever been exposed to any of this kind of stuff, but

now they are in school? What's next? They going to teach you how much Sprite should be in every pint of lean in chemistry class? Huh? They going to teach you how to run from cops in gym class? Home economics class? You going to learn how to cook up a nice kilo of cocaine? Huh?

Like, stop it. Don't go chasing crypt calculus. Stick to the same old arithmetic in English you used to. Please give Joanne Bosa of Byrne Middle School the biggest hee-haw, please. Can you send me those questions? I want to answer them. Why? I just want to see if I still, you know, know math like I used to.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MD, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Our guy, Jay Pharoah. My's DJ M.D. Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Our guy, Jay Pharoah. Mermin is here. Hey, look, look, listen, listen. Y'all better put some respect on my name.

Why sound like somebody... He sound like he want to break down. Like somebody took his lunch or something like that. He got emotional, man. Sometimes people get really, really angry and they want to hurt something so bad that they get emotional like that. Hey, being single.

Hey, listen, anytime you see a grown man take a straw and start chewing it, like, there's some problem. Listen, yes, you did. You did. Yeah, you did. You made that little girl cry. So I can leave because I think you a bitch. I think you should leave.

And he sat back down. What is going on? That's kind of like when I get in a fight with my boyfriend and I'll be like, I'm leaving. I'm out. And he's like, all right. And then you're like, I'm not really leaving. I didn't work out the way I wanted to do. Well, Jay Pharoah said that.

What's going on, man? What happened with Saturday Night Live? Yeah, I used to fire you, man. Get right into it. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on, man. I got White Famous, and it's a good move. So I was like, all right, let's do that.

So that's exactly what happened. I got White Famous. I auditioned for it. I got the pilot. Oh, White Famous is a show. I thought you were saying, like, I don't know what you're talking about, Jay. What the hell is he talking about? Is that the show that Jamie Foxx is doing?

That's the show that, yeah. So Tim's story is, Tim's story that they did, Ride Alone. He's directing it. Jamie Foxx is producing. Tom Kapanos wrote it. And man, it was, I just, we shot the pilot. It was dope. Like, it's nothing on television is gonna be like. And it got greenlit, right? Yeah, I mean, it's a,

I think, we all think it's about to. We all got that feeling. So we'll find out like a week. So you didn't get fired. They tried to make it seem like you got fired. Then you picked up this new job. Yeah, it was just, it was like a transitional thing, man. Like, you know, I mean, any place where you feel like, and I thank SNL for all of its opportunities that it did provide.

But anytime you feel like you're, you feel kind of slighted, it's like, all right, well, you know, go do your thing. So, you know. Why didn't they let you do both, though? They didn't want to work on my schedule. So I was like, all right, cool. Well, you know, I seen the check for White Famous. I said, I'm out this bitch.

Deuces. You know what I'm saying? Who's going to do the black characters now and the black voices? I guess Michael Che, who everybody thinks is me. Yeah. Well, I guess they Che, who everybody thinks is me. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess they're going to have

Pete do Obama. Yeah, man. Yeah. That's my dude. I seen his special. Shout out to Pete. SMD. That was dope.

Yeah, that was funny. Yeah, I don't know who's going to do it, man. I know they got Keenan. He going to do it. I mean, shoot, ain't Keenan bigger, you know? Yeah, Pete said he was shocked

when they got, it was you and, what's the other dude's name? Taron Killam. Yeah, he said he was shocked because y'all did all the impersonations. So he was like when they got, it was you and what's the other dude's name? Taron Killam. Yeah, he said he was shocked because y'all did all the impersonations. So he was like, well, damn, I might be next because I don't do 90% of what they can do. It's so crazy that like I'll do something off the show and it will go super viral. Like everything I've been doing has been going like super viral.

So I guess I don't know if they if they saw it like, hey, you know, you're good now. You can kind of stand alone. I don't know. I don't know what it was, but, you know, they, you're good now. You can kind of stand alone. I don't know. I don't know what it was, but, you know, they just, hey, they didn't work on my schedule. So it wasn't a pink slip. It wasn't a, hey, Mr. Farrell, your services are no longer needed. It was more of a, well, you have this other thing going on. We can't accommodate that.

So you have to pick and choose. And you chose. Yeah. White famous. Does Lorne call you directly when stuff like that happens? No. Is it real? No. He sent me an email Like I emailed him He sent me an email back

And I saw him at the party And he gave me a hug He was like You got so He was like yeah You have so much going on And you're good And I love you

And everything I was like alright thank you So it's no That's my fam man It's no bad blood And he always said Yo you know you're part of the family No matter what And I was like, all right, thank you. That's my fam, man. It's no bad blood. And he always said, yo, you know you're part of the family no matter what. And I was like, yeah, thank you. I appreciate that.

So what if the pilot don't get picked up? I'm sure it will. It will, but I got... Don't throw that in the air. Come on, man. I'm sure it will, but what if it... I mean, shoot, I'm on the road. I got three movies I'm fitting to do, and I'm working, bro.

That's it. That's it. You know what I mean? All right, now, three movies I'm fitting to do, and I'm working, bro. That's it. That's it. You know what I mean? All right, now, another thing I was asking you about, I was telling you when you walked in. There's a comedian I was talking to, and he was kind of mad about some things you said about him on The Breakfast Club.

What did he say? Because they were true. Donnell Rollins. What'd you say about Donnell? Well, Donnell Rollins, you know, it's tough out here, people. You know what I'm saying? The Chappelle show was like 12 years ago. So it's not like he's like an Hollywood pop.

It's not like he's doing like Bad Boys 3. He got mad. He tweeted me. He was like, yo, son, you taking shots? I was like, nah, these are jokes, but it's real. Yeah, then he said he ran into you and it was beef. Beef? He said you backed down.

Nah. You let Donnell Rollin back you down? He didn't back me down. I'm kidding, he didn't say that. I was like, yo, what the hell? That did not happen. That did not happen at all. You about to get him to say something really crazy. What was the beef?

I missed that one. It wasn't even a beef. It was just a, I was just saying... I made a joke and he tweeted me and that was all it was. And when I seen him, I just wanted to make sure because he tweeted me. I was like, he must have felt some type of way. So I was like, let me smooth it out. Hey, dude, I was just joking.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's funny because sometimes people could tweet you and you could take it the wrong way because what if when he tweeted you, he was really joking? You know? And you're like, yo, son, you taking shots and you read it that way. Yeah. That happens all the time. You try to play with somebody. I hate, man.

Envy's very sensitive, yes. Twitter is, I hate Twitter, though. Like, I hate Twitter. I saw you take a break from it after, like, after they announced you got fired. Yeah. Yeah, I wasn't. I was just, I was just chilling because I was getting so many, I got so many tweets like, hey, hope you all right and all this.

And I'm like. No, you wasn't. I'm not on Twitter. They'd be like, I'm glad you got fired. Nah, nah, nah I hope you're all right and all this. No, you wasn't. Not on Twitter. They'd be like, I'm glad you got fired. Nah, nah, nah. You ain't never been funny. Nah. Yeah, 80% of the people, 80% of the people that was hitting me up was like, yo, man,

I'm sorry to hear about this. And then 20%, you know, most of the black people, yeah, nigga, I'm glad. Nigga, I'm glad. I'm glad he off there. He won't never funny in the first place. Like you said, you won't never funny. Twitter's mean, man. That's why I lost weight.

It is mean. I see you taking a lot of selfie pictures. I didn't follow you, bro. You don't follow me because I was

taking selfies? It was too many. Hey! It was too many, man. Hey, cut. I'm trying to inspire the world.

You made me insecure. I'm trying to inspire the world. Listen, Dean Edwards said, yo, son, I feel uncomfortable with all these ad pics.

I said, press the unfollow. I told my wife it was steroids. She was like, look at that. I said, that's steroids, man.

He went to Dr. Miami. Y'all, said, press the unfollow. I told my wife it was steroids. She was like, look at that. I said, that's steroids, man. He went to Dr. Miami. Y'all, hey, the hips are gone. So you lost weight because everybody was clowning you? I lost weight because, listen, I never recovered from when I did a VMAs 2014. They lit my ass up talking about my hips, bro. They talking about, you look like Barney. I said, what? Barney?

I said, I had to do it, man. Like, seriously. They did a side-by-side with me and Nicki Minaj. Say, who wore it better? You don't remember that? And then I was winning. Like, I had to. I had to do something, bro.

How'd you lean up? I started running. Like, I had to. Like, my cardio game is crazy. Like, I run like nine. I was running like nine miles a day. Wow, that's crazy. For like, yeah, for like two months. And then I just like nine. I was running like nine miles a day. Wow, that's crazy. For like two months.

And then I just kept being consistent with it. And now I'm running like five, whatever. But when I was in Tokyo, like last week, week before last, I ran 16 miles in a day. Like, I don't play around with cardio. And then I got a trainer, too. So, you know, I'm trying to get them Marvel superhero roles, son. Hold on.

I know where the money is. How much is the training now? Because you just got fired. You got to think about things. Hey, come on, man'm trying to get them Marvel superhero roles, son. Hold on. I know where the money is. How much is the training now? Because you just got fired. You got to think about that. Hey, come on, man. No, for real. I've been fired four times. Trust me.

There's certain things you got to cut out. How much is the training, Jay? Training is complimentary. Okay. I got to just post abs in the gym. Yeah. He's like, hey, man, just give me a tag. I'm like, all right.

All right. We got more with Jay Pharoah. That was Jay Cole. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, formerly of SNL, we have Jay Pharoah in the building. Now, Yee?

So, Jay, we've been talking about your weight loss. I know a lot of women you say you've been getting, but are a lot of guys trying to holler at you? Envy gets a lot of guys trying to holler at you. Well, my hips were bigger than they definitely was trying to holler at my ass. That's another reason. I had to cut that. Do you know Felice Johnson? He got out of jail. He got out of jail.

Felice Johnson. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. Felice is out? I think they put him in the half. Yo, he got out. I think it was a couple years ago he got out. So he hit you? Nah, no, no, no. But I'm just, I'm just preparing.

They said a halfway. There was like, at one point, there was a halfway house that wouldn't take him or something like that. And now I think, I think he got out. So I didn't want him to like come at SNL, like waiting around the corner. He's waiting like, where the f*** Jay at?

Damn, they're like, Fleece Johnson is now on the loose. They end up raping Michael Che here because you not dead no more. Che hit me up. waiting like, where the f*** Jay at? Damn, they're like, Fleece Johnson is now on the loose. They end up raping Michael Che. Oh my God. Because you not dead no more. Che hit me up, yo son, I got my cakes to us. Like, they thought I was you, son.

Can you watch the show? Do you watch it? Yeah. Hey, I didn't watch it a lot. I watched it at a certain point before I got on the show. But like, I wasn't like the current, like, I ain't know the Kristen Wiig

and all of that, but it's the same thing. Like, I watch clips and stuff. Like, oh, that was funny. Oh, that Wiig and all of that, but it's the same thing. Like I watch clips and stuff like, oh, that was funny. Oh, that was whatever. So it's not, it's nothing like, huh, I'm getting flashbacks

from my job and my sketch is cut if I watch the show or nothing. Now, now, now, Michael said that

he told USA Today that y'all served the show well. You and Keelum and y'all are two people that you really care about, but change is the lifeblood of the show. It always has been.

You got to keep bringing new people in. But then the only discrepancy I have with that statement is the fact that there have been people on the show for like almost 20 years. 20 years. That's what I said. I'm like, change is the lifeblood of this show. Okay.

I said, I put two hands. I was like, all right, cool. That's what's up. I said, that's the explanation you want to give. I was like, that's cool. I think everybody's like all right cool that was like i said that's the explanation you want to give i was like that's cool i think everybody's like mad political yeah about that but there's people that's been there mad long do you believe him when he says that he cares about you are you doctor film

the voice changed there do you i learned thatyanla. Iyanla. Okay. Okay. I don't know. I'm telling you. I don't know who that is. She does fix my life. Okay. I'm going to look it up.

I'll be versed. I'm going to go Google it. Next time. Next time I come here. But do you think he really cares? I think Lorne does care about us. You know? I don't think he would make decisions if he didn't believe in people's talent.

So, you know, I believe it. Yeah. This situation we talked about earlier is about Mariah Carey. Uh-oh. She was engaged

and she's no longer engaged. Mm-hmm. Did I ever beat Mariah Carey? Nah, man. I was like, wait. I said, mm-hmm. I was agreeing to you. And then he slipped.

You be doing that. You be slipping, bro. That's gonna be the headline. You know that. Hey, I wanted, bro. I did want to and I do want to, though. She's going to be the headline. You know that. Hey, I wanted, bro. I did want to, and I do want to, though. She's single, right? Well, she's single now.

Yeah, she's single. Yeah, I like that. Only thing is this, all right? So now they're not getting married anymore. You know he's a billionaire. She wants him to give her $50 million, plus buy her a mansion in L.A., plus she gets to keep the ring, which is worth about $10 million. Is there ever a case, you think, where a man should give some palimony up

if you didn't get married but pay you? I don't think no ass is worth giving that much money for. He didn't even have sex with her. What? She said she's so traditional that she used to sleep in another bedroom. Wait, wait. She see air in his ass? Even on the yacht, she said they slept in different rooms on the yacht.

Nah, she don't get 50 then. You ain't give me no booty. You Mariah Carey. You gave me no ass. And we ain't married. We ain't got no kids. 50 million, a house in LA, and the ring. Get the fuck out of here.

Does sex feel better without hips? Wait, what? Does it feel better without hips? Is he flirting? That's what. Charlamagne. What you mean? Because you asking me these. You asking me these pause questions. You used to have hips. You said you? That's why, Charlamagne, I don't know what you mean. Because you asking me these,

you asking me these pause questions. She used to have hips. You say you don't have hips no more. Stop looking down at his hips. You look down right now.

I think he's halfway flirting. Charlamagne needs him to grab on to. Sitting like a cat and shit like this. What is up? What is up? What is up?

The pose though, the pose is killing me. Like, what is he doing? He's doing it again. Does sex feel better without hips? You know what I mean? Paws. Paws, Charlamagne.

Super paws. But does it feel better? What's wrong with you? And you still asking the question. I don't know that you've lost weight. I don't know how to. Well, can I be honest with you? Stamina-wise, listen, I've never been a minute dude.

Never, ever. Never not once in your life. Never. Somebody going to tweet us. Yeah, definitely. Sure. Hey, I swear, if anybody, please stand up. If you, if Jay Pharoah, please stand up.

But the stamina from exercising and everything, like I'm on Super Saiyan Blue right now. Like, you can't mess with me. You know, y'all don't get that reference because y'all don't watch that. Yeah. You get that reference. Like, I'm on Super Saiyan Blue right now. Like, you can't mess with me. You know, y'all don't get that reference because y'all don't watch that. You get that reference. Yeah, yeah. All right, we got more with Jay Pharoah.

Wow. What does that have to do with you? All right. You know what? I'm telling you, there's so many suspect moments in this bitch's life. Does Charlamagne kick you out? It just keeps happening. We don't mean for it to happen. I think, but it's so many suspect moments in this. Does Charlamagne kick you out? It just keeps happening. We don't mean for it to happen.

I think, but it's so natural. It comes so natural to y'all. What the hell? Like, all right. All right. Charlamagne doesn't want you here anymore because you don't get hard. Why are you looking at him like that? He's still doing it.

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.

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.
