Yeah, because you seen what they did with my man Cat Williams. Them little boys is wild out there.
Starting point is 00:07:17 What do you think about that? What do you think about Cat Williams right now? Man, I look at Cat Williams. Cat Williams is our generation of Rick James. You're giving him too much credit, bro. Why? You're giving him too much credit, bro. Why? You're giving him too much credit, man. Rick James had achieved a whole, whole lot before he started wilding out.
Starting point is 00:07:31 And Rick James wasn't doing anything other than causing problems with himself. Cat is attacking people. No, it was a different time, though, too. Back then, you didn't have social media where people were singing. What y'all don't realize about Cat, this has been Cat. Cat been there. So y'all just realizing this now because of social media and all that. But that's been Cat. He been
Starting point is 00:07:48 swinging on kids? No, Cat been crazy. Like, when I say crazy, I don't mean like in a psycho way. It's just think about, you know how he had trench coat with the cowboy hat? That's been him. He's been like on a weird type thing, so it's nothing new. It's a surprise, y'all. And then I respect him, too, because
Starting point is 00:08:04 believe it or not, he is one of the greatest stand-up comedians. Like, you can't mess with him when he's on the stage. And the good thing about being a comedian, you can never go wrong. But don't you think it's a waste of talent when you're as talented as that, but then you're acting out? No, because the only thing you can hurt is yourself, because at the end of the day, he's still
Starting point is 00:08:19 selling out shit. He's the only guy I know can do, like, the Phillips Arena, and he just walked off stage. Just walked off stage in front of 20,000 people and they came back and they still came to see him. So you can't be mad at the hustler.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You got to be mad at the consumer. That's y'all dumb ass because we should treat them guys like our parents treat us. You want punishment. I think people understand him. Like it's a group of people that understand where he coming from.
Starting point is 00:08:42 So I think that's why they support him. And he funny. We got more with Lil Duval when we come back. Keep I think that's why they support him. And he funny. We got more with Lil Duval when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

Starting point is 00:15:39 You know what? He didn't say anything about it. I feel like that phone call that he did, like like two years ago, that was enough for him. And that's it. He didn't even acknowledge it? He didn't, no. Did he speak to you? Yeah, he spoke on the stage.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Did you talk to him in his voice? No. I mean, I feel like I should have, though. I feel like I should have just... How did y'all not do a sketch together? Listen, man. His sense of humor's not that great. It got pulled.
Starting point is 00:16:04 So I couldn't even do it. Like, so all my Kanye sketches were just, they just were non-existent. I was like, oh, okay, whatever. What they said happened was that they changed the set and they took everything. Is that really what happened? Oh, he was mad.

Starting point is 00:16:23 Kanye was like, all right, you know, you know, because if it ain't right, then you know I don't want to do it. Why would they do that, though? Why did they change it at the last minute? I don't. I think they just didn't have. It was just a whole bunch. Kanye, listen. They just want to F with him.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Yeah. They want to F with him. But Kanye is, y'all know, he's grandiose. Kanye is Kanye. He's Kanye. Yeah, Kanye is his own version. He wants everything. He even going to the point of telling everybody in the audience to stand up.
Starting point is 00:16:52 He was like, if y'all don't stand up, I ain't going to perform. This yay. And he said that to somebody in the audience that couldn't stand. And it happened to be the host mom. Like, she couldn't stand. And she was like, uh-oh. And she, like, stood up for, like, two seconds and got back. She had a cane and all that shit.

You feel me? They're my peoples.
Starting point is 00:22:28 I'm their peoples. I have mingled with them. So I was just trying to, I was just trying to put it out like that. But I could do another one where it's a whole bunch of females. I can impersonate females. I never heard you impersonate a female, though.
Starting point is 00:22:39 You never heard me do a female before? Deidre? Who's Deidre? Deidre is just a character I just made up. She's talking like, let me tell you something, honey. Now, this is what I'm talking about. Everybody here trying to turn up. You know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:23:01 Forget everybody. I ain't trying to take nobody home. Too nerd. Too nerd. It's like a whole bunch of different... That sounds a lot like Leslie Jones. It do sound a lot like Leslie. Hey, man.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Even the way you did your lips and everything was real Leslie-ish. Animated. Really animated, Charlamagne. I feel like I'm going to do another one, but I'll go ahead and up it. But I'm not denying nor confirming who it was. I'm not saying who it was.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Yeah, Leslie, we appreciate you, Leslie, for keeping me in check, repping for the women. Hey, I don't know what you speak of, son. You keep saying it, Charlamagne. I don't know what you speak of, man. You talking a lot of political talk? Because I know you be doing your Ben Carson impersonations. Yeah. You doing a lot of that in stand-up?
Starting point is 00:23:41 Yeah. I talk, I dedicate a whole, I talk about everything. Okay. So when you see it, it's just like, I talk about politics in my show, but it's more of a views to other stuff and like connecting it. Like, you know, I could talk, we could talk about, we could talk about everybody, but you know, I ain't supposed to, you know, here. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:23:58 But at my show, I'm free. So strap up. All right. That's all I'm saying. Get ready. Buckle up. All right. I say buckle up.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Scrap up sounds crazy. Yeah. Scrap up sounds like all I'm saying Get ready Buckle up I say buckle up Scrap up sounds crazy Yeah strap up sounds like You talk about scrap up Kind of Like what? Well there you have it It's Jay Pharoah It's the Breakfast Club Good morning
Starting point is 00:24:14 Morning everybody It's DJ MV Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha God We are the Breakfast Club We got a special guest In the building That's right
Starting point is 00:24:22 One of my OG's Yo what's going on everybody? TK Kirkland. Well, yeah. Show the love. Show the love. And you brought some gifts, too? TK walked in bearing gifts. Explain why you should always bring gifts, TK. You said it before the mics came on. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:35 When you're in the presence of a young lady, and you see her more than once, you should always give her flowers to show that you're in the presence of a gentleman. Gotcha. When you have friends like you guys, you should always bring you guys gifts because people don't understand that to be on a show're in the presence of a gentleman. Gotcha. When you have friends like you guys, you should always bring you guys gifts because people don't understand that to be on a show or in your presence, you have to show people that you appreciate,
Starting point is 00:24:51 whether it's a shirt, let me buy you lunch, or something like that, because what people forget in society is that you have to show people that you really care about what you're doing because people take things for granted. True. And when you've been in the business as long as me, this stuff can come
Starting point is 00:25:06 and go as quick as possible. And when your phone stops ringing, you're like, why? But if you treat people good, it comes back. Just like when you guys have issues, I text them and explain to them certain things. And just like when Birdman Baby, who's my friend, came
Starting point is 00:25:22 up. And what people don't understand about Babe is that when a man or woman comes through your door, you never know what they just went through. Yeah. You never know what they went through. Absolutely. So as you guys get older, you have to take that into consideration, right? Because Baby does deserve respect.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Let me explain to you why. From Ruthless Records to Death Row to to Aftermath, to No Limit, Baby is still around. Now, his private life is his private life. If he want to kiss boys, if he want to... You just said that was your man! I'm just keeping 100. This is who I am. Everybody know who I am. Just because I say
Starting point is 00:25:57 that don't mean I'm mad at him. If you want to kiss boys, if you want to beat people out of their publishing, that's you. That's your private life. If you want to have sex and kiss boys, if you want to beat people out of their publishing, that's you. That's your private life. If you want to have sex with boys behind closed doors, as long as we ain't in the room. Allegedly. Allegedly.
Starting point is 00:26:12 We ain't in the room. That's your own business. But on a business tip, the man is phenomenal because he got the three hottest artists in the world. Well, not everything TK just said, but I've said the same thing. Just pay Wayne. Right. Why ain't you paying Wayne? Why would you sign the baby you know he don't pay?
Starting point is 00:26:26 Let me explain to you why you don't have to worry about that, because that's not your job. Gotcha. Your job is to report what you hear. If little Wayne doesn't have a proper attorney, then that's his fault. It's just like, I can't come to your house and half the house is not painted. I was like, Shalaman, go paint the house. You're like, TK, this is my house.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I can't come to your house and say, DJ Envy, your wife wants more oral sex during the week, and I need you to step your game up. I can't come with this beautiful woman. I'm just meaning because you don't look like you do that because your neck structure is weak. So I want you to start strengthening up
Starting point is 00:27:00 your neck, DJ Envy. Because your wife wants more of that. I guarantee you. And she's probably listening to my TK. Yes, yes, TK. Now, last time you came up here, we talked about a lot. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We talked about Eddie Murphy.
Starting point is 00:27:15 We talked about so much. Now, have people been calling you comedians about that? Have they been blackballing you? What's been going on? Do y'all know who I am? I'm a gentleman. People don't cross that line with me. You know, it was the interview was an interview that put everything to rest. Good. Because the rumors had been out so long and no one took the time to really talk about it.
Starting point is 00:27:38 So that's because we came here and I didn't know y'all was famous. I'm keeping 100. You said that to me every time you called me. Hey, bro, I didn't know that y'all was out here like this. I didn't know enough. For real, y'all. Because I see y'all all the time. And we in the club.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And I just thought, those are nice kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I say about y'all. Those are nice kids. But in January, I started listening to y'all a lot on the radio and found out a lot about you guys, how intelligent you are. You're up on current events. How Angela is a motivational speaker
Starting point is 00:28:05 to some of these young women, you understand, that truly need guidance to better their lives. Because what goes on with the young ladies in our society is that the choices that they make is detrimental.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Like, I saw a girl pregnant on the bus stop. Yeah. I'm like, who raised you? You letting a guy that got no car sex you down and impregnate you, and you're on the bus? Yo, this is insane, fam. So we want to encourage our men to step their game up.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Because if I was president, men couldn't have sex unless they had about $50,000 in the bank. But then we shame gold diggers. Men who don't understand women shame gold diggers. Break it down for me. See, because a gold digger is just a woman who just wants a man who can provide. Gotcha. All men should be able to provide. Because when men want money, what do we want?
Starting point is 00:29:02 We want a beautiful woman with a small waist, fat booty or whatever. It's a price for that. It's a price for that. It comes with the territory. And I tell people all the time, when you go from a Geostorm to a Bentley, you knew the insurance was going to be different. Absolutely. So what about you?
Starting point is 00:29:18 You don't pay the same premium? Right. So what do you tell guys when they be like, man, I ain't paying for no. It's not that you pay for it. You pay for it indirectly. You got to take a woman out to eat. You got to take her shopping. And get smart.
Starting point is 00:29:31 You don't have to always go buy $2,000 bags or $1,000 shoes. Sales. Find sales. Like, babe, I'm going to take you shopping. I just saw a phenomenal sale that came across my iPhone. Let's catch the sales. Okay. And that's where you have to be clever at.
Starting point is 00:29:49 And then you want women to bring something to the table, too. See, it's a balance. Women don't take their men shopping. And when I say that, women start frowning. I'm not taking my man shopping. Well, you've already lost. And men don't need much. You can buy a guy a brush,
Starting point is 00:30:06 buy Zing, chapstick, a card. He just wants to be known at the end of the day. He's appreciated. Absolutely. All right, we got more with TK Kirkland when we come back.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have comedian TK Kirkland
Starting point is 00:30:23 in the building. Now, Yee? Bathrooms, right? In North Carolina, you see that they have this whole situation where they're trying to make it that whatever gender you were born, biologically, that's the bathroom you should use. But federally, they're saying, no, what you identify with is the bathroom that you're able to use.
Starting point is 00:30:38 What do you think about that? I know that everybody in society is trying to do the right thing. Nobody wants to say the real because they think if they say what's real, it causes confusion and hate. But we have to understand there's a thing called the Bible and there's a thing called faith. There's a thing called tradition. And even though these new things are coming along with Bruce Jenner
Starting point is 00:31:00 and people changing their sex, we're going to respect it. But let's not cross the boundary to the point that you put us in jeopardy to waive our morals and what we truly believe in. Everybody has a right to do what they want to do. But when you start going into bathrooms, if you got the money to do half the surgery, then don't go to the bathroom until you get the complete surgery. Don't come here and ask Stefan. Don't come here half-stepping. Don't cause confusion
Starting point is 00:31:28 because I don't know who you are. Do you feel like heterosexuals' rights are being taken away? Like, nobody cares about making us comfortable. That's so true, yo. Our society has gotten to a point to be gay or to change your ginger. Gender. Ginger, thank you.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Red hair, you can dye it. You know what I mean. It's sad. You can Ginger, thank you. Red hair, you can dye it. That's fine. You know what I mean. Put it on your shirt if I write it. It's sad. You can't say what you feel. And if you say what you feel, social media is based on hate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Say something positive, and nobody talk about it. Say something negative, by the time you get downstairs of this office, you have the whole ABC News, everybody on you. And the world's just based on negativity.
Starting point is 00:32:07 And what we have to do, I think, sometimes when we're on shows like this, even though it's probably boring probably to some people, we have to give that five minutes of positiveness. Then we go back to hating because you got to eat. Because you got to eat. It's a balance. Ration is a rations. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Yo, it's the way of the world. And I used to think when I was coming up, did we hate? And I think we did hate. It's just that we didn't have social media to put it out there as quickly as possible. Just like sometimes I hear y'all talk about racism. And I don't believe in racism. Really? Yeah, I think racism is a made-up word.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I believe people just don't like you. But if it's just based on the color of your race, they don't know you. Well, you know what the confusion is? What? Because it's white, it's racism. But if I don't like you, I don't like you. If you say, I don't like black people,
Starting point is 00:32:58 that just means you just... Yeah, just don't like you. You ever walked in a room and saw someone say, that person makes me uncomfortable, that person never said nothing to you, but you're like, yo, I don't like homeboys, y'all. Yeah and saw someone say, that person makes me uncomfortable. That person never said nothing to you. But you're like, yo, I don't like homeboys, y'all. Yeah, his energy's off.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Yeah, his energy's off. That's just life, fam. Well, it's The Breakfast Club. We appreciate you joining us. Always, family. Always. And I love you guys forever. And may your pain be champagne.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Tea to the cake. TK Kirkland, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Work, work, work, work, work, work. It's the me of you work. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Puff Daddy.
Starting point is 00:33:37 That's right, the African American. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Good morning, sir. Good morning to all, everyone in the sound of my voice. May God bless you this morning to have a beautiful day and a beautiful weekend. Now, Terrence, Jay said you called him and threatened to kill him if he act up in a love scene with Cassie. Nah. He did not say that.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Why would you make the whole story up? He said you told him don't hold back. He said don't hold back. Nah, nah, nah. I called him because I knew he was in a situation that, you know, may have made him feel uncomfortable, even if it was vice versa. I would have felt uncomfortable, you know what I'm saying, when you're dealing with a man's woman.
Starting point is 00:34:12 You didn't smash somebody's girl before, did you? Stop. In your life. Not in a movie. Allegedly. Allegedly. But I've changed, and I've grown. I just want y'all to know, like, I'm a kinder, gentler, you know, more loving me.
Starting point is 00:34:29 You know what I'm saying? I got a code. You know what I'm saying? I got a code. Like, you live and you learn. Like, you know what I'm saying? I love too hard, so I just don't want nobody smashing mine. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:34:39 And I don't want to smash theirs, you know? So I think it goes all on karma, you know? So, you know what I'm saying? I try to at least have that. And it ain't worth it, because I karma, you know? So, you know what I'm saying? I try to at least have that. And it ain't worth it because I know people out here are crazy, you know what I'm saying, about that love thing. So being that I want to, you know, I'm not going to say that, but I love real hard.
Starting point is 00:34:57 So I wanted him to know, you know, it's a movie, man. Go do your thing. You know, I respect the arts, you know what I'm saying? You know, and, you know, just make. You can still come over for Easter after. Oh, you know, I respect the arts, you know what I'm saying? You know, and, you know, just make, oh, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't nothing to me like that
Starting point is 00:35:09 because, you know, just me doing movies and you have to do that and I wanted to make sure that they was empowered with the freedom from me. Please don't think about me.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Make it believable or else y'all gonna play yourselves and look like two light-skinned, pretty people, like, you know, trying to kiss. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:24 Really make that, make the scenes be believable, do your thing and I'm out the way. Does it still feel weird when you, pretty people, like, you know, trying to kiss. You know what I'm saying? Really make the scenes be believable. Do your thing. And I'm not the way. Does it still feel weird when you're watching, like, because they had a lot of sex scenes in that movie. Did you watch it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't watch it.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. And I watched it, and I was proud of her. I was looking at it as it was acting. You know, I mean, I was a little bit sick. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm like, you know, I was watching the movie. I'm like, yo, this is like the third love scene. Like, you know what I'm saying? I was watching the movie, I'm like, yo, this is like the third love scene.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I'm tapping her, I'm like, yo, you really in the movie. They had a little screening for me. Shaquem and Terrence had a little screening for me. They was like, yo, Puff, we want to make sure that, you know what I'm saying, everything cool. So I'm looking and I'm like, yo, you getting smashed like three times in a journey.
Starting point is 00:36:04 You ain't even say nothing. Very hot and heavy. I'm like, where, I'm like, you getting like smashed like three times in a row. You ain't even say nothing. Very hot and heavy. I'm like, where's the arc in your character? You know what I'm saying? And she's just like, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? And then I see the arc in her character, and I'm like, oh, whoa. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:36:19 The way the movie progressed. If you haven't seen the movie The Perfect Match, you got to go see it. And just her as an actress, I was just so proud of her, so proud of Terrence putting the movie together, Shaquem, everybody. But there's an art, so it wasn't just
Starting point is 00:36:32 about the love scene. Is it a pressure when you're in that position? Because you know, she wants to be a star, she wants to get things popping, and you are Diddy. Yeah, I don't really talk
Starting point is 00:36:40 about my personal life. I know, it's just a career though. Is it pressure to get her popping like that? To be famous and famous. No, no, no. She's not that type of young lady.
Starting point is 00:36:50 She's not trying to really be out here and trying to get hot. You know what I'm saying? She with me, so she already hot. She's hot on her own, too. You know what I'm saying? So that's the beauty of it. She's not like out here thirsty trying to, you know, be seen. She's not all over social media every second.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You know what I'm saying? So her approach to it is different, and she lets her talent show no matter what the naysayers are. You know what I'm saying? She doesn't have to be gimmicky and do anything for the press. She's doing her, and she's going to be more than what people may think or may underestimate her for, and I think she showed a lot of that in the movie
Starting point is 00:37:25 was to come in her future and her future is not directly tied to me professionally. She has her own life. She makes her own decisions. She does her own thing. You know what I'm saying? Now you out here opening up charter schools and shit. Yeah and you know and I'm out here opening up charter schools in Harlem.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I thought that was it. You know what I'm saying? I think that's life goals for, you know, for a lot of people that are very, because I've always been very into education. Like, I did prep for prep here in New York, and I went to Bank Street College of Education. At one point, I thought I was going to be a teacher, so I think it's great that you've opened up
Starting point is 00:37:57 this charter school. I was like, wow, Diddy's opening up schools. So tell us a little bit about that and what made you decide to do that, and I know you have your partner here. Steve Perry. That's not a Muslim shooter. No. what made you decide to do that. And I know you have your partner here. Steve Perry. That's not a Muslim shooter. No.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I got the school colors and the bow tie, brother. Yeah. Well, I have my partner who helped it come to fruition. I was watching CNN. Education is something that's very near and dear to me. And a lot of people don't know that because a lot of people don't know I've been working on this for six years. And I saw him and he had 100% graduation rate. and a lot of people don't know that because a lot of people don't know I've been working on this for six years. And I saw him and he had 100% graduation rate and he had a lot of at-risk students
Starting point is 00:38:31 that were not even supposed to be passing in school that were probably behind three grades. He was able to turn them around and create a curriculum and teach them and inspire them and make them accountable and responsible for their futures. And getting to them early is so important that we get to our kids early and I feel like the reason why I'm able to be I was able to be successful was because I was blessed with my
Starting point is 00:38:57 mother really like busting her butt to really give me a great education I wanted to do something bigger than opening up a community center or just giving a. I wanted to do something bigger than opening up a community center or just giving a donation. I wanted to do something that was long-term. I'm not a sprinter. I'm a marathon runner. I didn't just run a marathon to run it. It was something for my life that I wanted to be a metaphor of my whole life. And with this school, it's my next marathon.
Starting point is 00:39:23 I'll let him tell you the rest of the story from there. So he kept saying this is something that means something to me. I don't want to do an after-school program. I don't want to do it. Those are all dope, and that's nice, but I want a school where we can train young people to be leaders. You know, there would be those who question why would you work with a brother who doesn't have a background in education. He has a capacity to communicate with young people that is unrivaled in our generation. Just in a day of announcing it, our applications have quadrupled. The number of people who want to work in the school have quadrupled.
Starting point is 00:39:53 How many students in the school? So they're going to be 180, but we have almost 1,000 on the waiting list today. Wow. What grades? It's going to ultimately be grades 6 to 12, but we're starting with 6 and 7. It's a year-round college preparatory school. The theme is social justice. So we're training young people to be social entrepreneurs and leaders in the community,
Starting point is 00:40:10 not just learning to learn, but learning to make an impact on the community. That's what he said he wanted. I wish you guys could see just how positive the reaction from the entire community has been. They're just celebrating like, that's my man. Get him, pup. Get him. And it's just exciting. Is the school free? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:29 The school is absolutely free. Absolutely free. Hold on. Along with the city, along with some great donors, along with some, we need donations, we need money. You know, I'm putting up my own money. It's going to be great. All right. We got more with Puff when we come back.

It'll transform you into the Mad Hatter. Now, just so y'all know, when I was younger, I did play Alice in Alice in Wonderland.
Starting point is 00:41:28 So I know a lot about this. Okay. Now, I can see you transforming into the Mad Hatter with the Snapchat filter. Now, Charlamagne, I can see you as a Cheshire Cat. Now, you guys can go ahead and use these filters and you can send or post or tweet those photos also. Alice threw the looking glasses in theaters in IMAX 3D now.
Starting point is 00:41:45 It's rated PG. Parental guidance suggested. Go check it out. And this is nothing like Alice in Wonderland. Forget everything you knew about Alice in Wonderland because time has changed everything. I was actually Alice after she shrunk. All right, we got more with Puff when we come back. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:41:59 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ M.D. Angelou. Yish, all I mean to guide. We are The Breakfast Club. That was the big thing when social media started. That was a big thing for me. I really felt like fathers, especially fathers of color, were getting such a bad rap. Like, we don't do nothing with our kids. We're just some lazy, you know, partying Negroes. We don't even do nothing with our kids. There's so many fathers that have stepped up.
Starting point is 00:42:40 This hip-hop generation and culture has bred fathers that are taking responsibility, that love being with their kids, that love their children, that are raising them the right way, raising them purposely. You can't be like me. You got to be better than me. And so that's what I wanted to make sure
Starting point is 00:42:56 that I glorified that, you know what I'm saying? And made that, do my best to make that into a trend. And that's really what I represent. And that's that marriage. Don't do it now, baby. There's no need. What? Why?
Starting point is 00:43:11 What's the point? Listen, it's, you know, you never know what's to come in the future. You know, where my mind is at now, where my soul is at now could be different, you know, tomorrow. You know, and, you know, that's all I'm going to say about that also. I'm going to keep it so smooth. I'm going to stay so smooth this morning. You know, girls got mad at you last time when you was here with the 75, 25.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yeah, yo, check this out, ladies. The guys loved it. Check this out. I had to let some guys know y'all not dead. So y'all can't, y'all little 25% or 75%. I mean, somebody has to try it with you, dude. Hey, yo, no, no, I'm going to tell y'all, I got to be honest, it ain't work, y'all can't. You're a little 25% or 75%. I mean, somebody wants to try it with you, dude. Um, hey, yo. No, no.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I'm going to tell y'all. I got to be honest. It ain't work, y'all. It ain't work. Let me be the first one to tell y'all. It's 75, 25. I tried it. It's nothing. Yo, yo.
Starting point is 00:43:56 We seen him. He just deleted it over Instagram. He's like, damn, man. Hey, yo. Hey, yo. Hey, yo. Check this out. Hey, yo.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Hey, yo, man. It got rough. We went 100%. Hey, yo. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, she may be light-skinned, but she black is a blacker than black, boy. She got a mouth on her. It's crazy. It is just, it wasn't going down.
Starting point is 00:44:16 And I'm sorry, baby. I shouldn't have got on radio even being loose like that. You know what I'm saying? I was feeling myself. We're not getting loose. Hey, yo, I was feeling myself. We're not going to get loose. I was feeling myself, baby, and I don't know. Whatever's in my mind needs to stay in my mind sometimes. Edit that out.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Nah. He can't too many brothers, but he cannot take that old man. I want to tell you all the truth. It ain't going to work. And even if that's what you feel, you just don't need to be saying certain things on the radio as a black man named Puff Daddy. Ladies, ladies, ladies, check this out.
Starting point is 00:44:47 I am such a caring, romantic guy. You know what I'm saying? Any woman that I've dealt with, I take care of to the fullest. And I love. And I really do give 150%. So I don't know what I was talking about. But isn't it impossible for you to do that, though? Because you got so much other stuff going on between work and family.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Yeah, you know something? There's some honesty that was there that I was trying to get across, but at the same time, it wasn't respectful, you know what I'm saying, to the relationship that I was in and just even any of, you know, any of my past relationships. And I don't really think that way. I was just trying to figure out, like, you know, as I was growing, it was part of my growth. I was like, yo, I don't, you know, baby.
Starting point is 00:45:37 So I was just trying to figure it out in math how to reason with the situation. But it didn't work out that way. Some things you got to, you know, articulate more by, like, just action and keep your mouth shut. And so, to all of you... I'm glad you got your girl back. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:53 No, no, I ain't. If polygamy was legal, right? If polygamy was legal... I'm going to be quiet. You could have more than one wife. Would you do it? It's a setup, Puff. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It's a setup. Chill out, Kenny. It's a setup. Puff. Don't do that. Chill out, Kenny. Puff, I've been married a long time. Listen, Charlemagne, this is my new answer to you, Charlemagne. I don't talk about nonsense. There you go. Hashtag new life. When the press took a picture of you and J-Lo at the AMAs, when you went home, how was that conversation?
Starting point is 00:46:23 You had to play babies, just a picture. They were like, y'all back together. But J-Lo had the AMAs. Yeah. When you went home, how was that conversation? You had to play babies, just to picture it. Yeah, I'm... They were like, y'all back together. But J-Lo had her boyfriend there. But you know what we're not going to do? We're not going to...
Starting point is 00:46:31 This is the last thing we're going to do. We're not going to open up the door to personal life. That's one thing I definitely... I know everybody has a job to do, but you have to...
Starting point is 00:46:39 You have to guard your personal life. Everything ain't everybody's business, y'all. I'm going to tell you right now. I've made mistakes. I've seen certain people do it. Everything is't everybody's business, y'all. I'm going to tell you right now. I've made mistakes. I've seen certain people do it. Everything is not everybody's business.
Starting point is 00:46:49 You ain't got to even be famous. It ain't nobody's business what you're going through with your personal life with you and your woman, man. That's between you and your woman. Keep that thing right there sacred. My woman, at the end of the day, you know, she ain't have a problem with it. She asked some questions she asked some questions
Starting point is 00:47:13 but nah nah you know Casper was there you know what I'm saying me and Jennifer we gotta people gonna be friends man people gonna grow and you know any of my exes they smile and they happy to see me you know what I'm saying and that People gonna grow and, you know, any of my exes, they smile and they happy to see me. You know what I'm saying? And that's all that was about, you know?
Starting point is 00:47:29 And, you know, I answered the question and we kept it moving. Well, there you have it. Sean Combs. It's Pope Daddy. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey! I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. Stacey, donkey, donkey, donkey. One, two, three, four.
Starting point is 00:47:48 That's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Where's Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day goes to Miss Stacey Dash. Now, anybody who knows me knows that I have a list of women who I would love to suck a fart out their butt. I'm married now, so that list is retired, unless, of course, my wife is involved.
Starting point is 00:48:08 But that's a whole other story. But on that list was five women. Jennifer Lopez, Serena Williams, Kelly Rowland, Patti LaBelle, and Miss Stacey Dash. Really? You know that. You've been working with me for five years. Now, see, that was a time when Stacey Dash was seen more than she was heard from, okay? I mean, we heard her talk, but it was usually when she was acting,
Starting point is 00:48:27 whether it was the classic Clueless or more recently season one of Single Ladies. That season was fire, by the way. Trash after that. But Stacey Dash wasn't someone you heard from too often outside of acting. But over the years, she's resurfaced and found herself as a part of the Fox News family. I don't have a problem with that. In fact, I saluted, dropped one of the clues bombs for, you know, Stacey Dash being a Fox News family. I don't have a problem with that. In fact, I salute it. Drop one of the clues bombs for, you know, Stacey Dash being a Fox News commentator.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Because only in America you can go from being on the cover of King magazine and Black Men's magazine to being a Fox News commentator. I respect the glow up. But even though I respect everyone's right to an opinion, certain things that come out of Stacey Dash's mouth make me wish that all she had was an Instagram and not a Twitter. Yeah, Stacey Dash is one of those people that I would rather look at and not hear from, okay? She reinforced my feelings when she appeared on Fox & Friends this past Wednesday,
Starting point is 00:49:15 and she was asked about the outrage over the lack of black Oscar nominees, and she had this to say. We have to make up our minds. Either we want to have segregation or integration, and if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you're only awarded if you're black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard. Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. You know, we're Americans.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Period. That's it. Okay. Okay. Okay. Where do we're Americans. Period. That's it. Okay. Okay. Where do we start? Stacey Dash. First of all, let's be clear on what Stacey said before we talk. Can we hear it one more time? Just one more time, please. We have to make up our minds.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the image awards where you're only awarded if you're black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard, just like there shouldn't be a black history month. You know, we're Americans, period. That's it. Stacey Dash, we made up our minds about segregation or integration a long
Starting point is 00:50:22 time ago, 1964 to be exact, when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was established and segregation was abolished. Okay, now, I'm totally with segregation. I feel like segregation should have been based on behavior, not race. It's a lot of you crazy-ass mofos. I do not want eating where I eat, living where I live, hanging out where I hang out. But it's because of how you act, not because of your race. But, Stacey, when you say it has to be segregation or integration, it makes no sense because you know as well as I
Starting point is 00:50:46 do that racial segregation was abolished by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and segregation being abolished is the reason black people are complaining about not being properly represented at the Oscars because we have the right to be there. Period. Now, the second part of your verbal scream of foolishness,
Starting point is 00:51:02 getting rid of Black History Muffin BET. Stacey Dash, listen, boo. You need to know Black History Month isn't a form of segregation. Black history is a part of American history, and if America is the great American melting pot, all these different cultures living here, there's nothing wrong with the individuals in this country recognizing and celebrating themselves.
Starting point is 00:51:20 You also need to know that niche programming, like BET, that's not segregation either. Telemundo is a Spanish-speaking language station. We is Women's Entertainment Network. Logo is for the LGBT community. That's Telemundo. Whatever. All niche programming for a specific community, but the only one you want to get rid of is BET.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Why we got to get rid of BET? Why we got to get rid of Black History Month? Do you want us to get rid of Women's History Month What about Asian Pacific Heritage Month What about Hispanic Heritage Month What about Italian Heritage Month What about National American Indian Month Why do black people always call for black people to get rid of things that represent us
Starting point is 00:51:55 If you was calling for other communities To get rid of their months and their networks Then I would have nothing to say But you specifically targeted black people for no damn reason America is more than just black or white, and if we all said F our cultures and weren't culture-specific about things, the world would be very confusing. I like
Starting point is 00:52:12 Googling for Jamaican restaurants and Italian restaurants and Greek restaurants. I love Chinese food. I love the fact that I live in a country that allows me to experience other people's cultures, and nobody should be calling for anyone to drop what they are. Yes, I'm American, but I'm African- African American and I'm allowed to recognize and represent my culture
Starting point is 00:52:27 whether it's a TV network or a moth. Or Chinatown or Little Italy. Talk that talky! Or Telemundo. Listen, I don't speak the language. I don't watch it. Okay? All I'm saying is if the determining factor in us not having a moth is because white people don't have a moth or white people
Starting point is 00:52:44 don't have a specific network, then that's a foolish argument simply because everything else in America is tailor-made for white people. Majority rules. It is what it is. All the other networks that don't cater to a specific community are white networks. All the other muffs that don't cater to a specific group are white muffs. White people will be fine, okay? They run things in this country. We don't even got a black skin band-aid. So if that's your argument, that we shouldn't have one because white people don't have one, that's foolish, all right? Rep your clique, fool. Recognize you're American, but recognize and celebrate whatever else you are, too.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Can we please, please give Stacey Dash the biggest hee-haw? And I don't know if you saw BET's response. What'd they say? They put up a picture of her on the game and said, So, Stacey Dash, can we get our check back or nah? Remember, you were on the game, and we don't mean the rapper. Okay, and Stephen Hill also responded. Stephen Hill, who is president of programming at BET,
Starting point is 00:53:39 he said, Oh, dang, I loved you in Clueless. I had no idea that you actually were. Oh, who wrote that for you, Steve? Drop one of Clue's bombs for Stephen Hill's writers, baby. Hey, Steve. He wrote that. Stephen Hill wrote that. Stephen Hill called about 18.
Starting point is 00:53:52 He's pretty clever. Nah, he wrote that himself. And I don't know if you saw what Bun B wrote also. I did see Bun B's. He said, for everyone that don't know what that, he put up a picture, Stacey Dash, for everyone that didn't know that looks don't mean a damn thing if the inside of you is ugly as F. Here's your proof. Her black skin drives her crazy,
Starting point is 00:54:09 and as hard as she tries to separate herself from the black community, she doesn't even realize her token role is a pawn in their game. You're black. Hating yourself and us won't make them love you. The best you'll ever hear is you're not like the rest of them. And if that works for you, then cool. Listen, I would have had no problem if she had called out everybody else. Like, she act like there's only a Black History Month
Starting point is 00:54:26 and there's only a Black Entertainment Network. No, it's specific months for specific coaches all throughout this country. Specific networks for different people. You're going to say Telemundo, right, man? Listen, I don't watch Telemundo. You know why I don't watch Telemundo? Because I don't speak Spanish.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Okay? Oh, okay. That's a good reason. But they can rep their clique. All right. All right. Well, thank you for that dunk today, sir. Yes. a good reason. But they can replicate click. All right. All right. Well, thank you for that donk today, sir. Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Angie Martinez, when we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we have to blur out this lady's face because it's on Diddy's Revolt Network.
Starting point is 00:55:06 And Diddy, really, after reading the book, doesn't want her... Stop it. No, don't say that. After reading the book, I think they're clean. They're clean now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so your face is not blurred?
Starting point is 00:55:15 All right. Angie Martinez. Angie Martinez is here. You're making me startle and nervous at the top. First of all, this book, My Voice, is amazing. Angie does not like compliments, but this book is a testament and a documentation of a classic career and classic stories. And I love it.
Starting point is 00:55:35 And Envy read the book, and he hasn't read a book in 15 years. That alone is very exciting to me. He read it. I'm going to tell you why he read it. Me and Angie Lee came in here one day, and we was like, yo, fam, Angie smoked crack. It was an accident. It was an accident. It was an accident. And I said, not only did she smoke crack, but the song, the same crack commandment was originally her song.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Yes. Y'all like to come full circle? I hate you. I hate this already. I hate this interview already. I need to read this. This is going to be the best one. And we was like, how many times did she smoke crack?
Starting point is 00:56:03 Was she a crackhead? I asked her those questions. And she did it with a pipe. Stop it. And she had plans to do it again on New Year's. So wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:56:12 So this is what it takes for you to want to read a book. This is what it takes. I didn't believe him. I said no. No, you should have seen his eyes. He was like.
Starting point is 00:56:19 What? It was a mistake. Oh, God. That's going to be the headline. It was a mistake. How do you make a mistake and smoke crack? It was a mistake. I mean, it was a mistake in terms of I was a mistake. Oh, God. That's going to be the headline. It was a mistake. How do you make a mistake and smoke crack? It was a mistake. I mean, it was a mistake in terms of I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:56:29 I didn't know. It wasn't a big epidemic yet. It wasn't, like, known to everybody. So it was just another way to smoke weed or whatever that was in there. The only reason we let you explain it is because we don't want to make it seem like you really Like I'm a crackhead? No, please. It was an accident.
Starting point is 00:56:44 I think that's a great comeback. You started off a crackhead, and now look at you. That's a great way to sell a book. Shut the hell up. Shut the hell up. Shut the hell up. It was one time, though. I just want to make it clear.
Starting point is 00:56:54 It was one time, and it was kind of an accident. I mean, it was stupid. Look, come on, man. I never smoke crack. Okay, but you probably did something as a kid where you were like... I smoked coke with weed before. Okay, well, what? Well, it's the same thing. No, crack with weed before. Okay, well, what's the same thing?
Starting point is 00:57:05 No, crack is fried cocaine. Okay, but we know that now. I didn't know that in the moment until literally after it happened, and I'm watching the news, and I was like, oh, gosh. I was like, maybe I should smoke crack then, because I want to have a nice career like Anz. You know what I'm saying? No, really.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Is that what it takes? Shut the hell up. How was the high, though? Seriously, how was the high? I'd say it in the book. That's the thing. You said it was great. She said it was amazing. Y'all made plans Is that what it did? Shut the hell up. How was the high, though? Seriously, how was the high? I'd say it in the book. That's the thing. You said it was great. She said it was amazing.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Y'all made plans to do it again. I'm like, why didn't y'all do it again? Let me tell you, all the pages, it's like half a paragraph. And now the whole book is going to be about this. That's all it took was one bad review, a crack for you to stop on the news. That was it, yeah. No, because it wasn't. It was like a special.
Starting point is 00:57:41 And then all of a sudden, maybe it was out already and people were talking. Maybe I wasn't paying attention. Gotcha. Until I had, then you do it and then you're like, oh, I think that's what just happened to me.
Starting point is 00:57:49 No, I feel you. I did Ecstasy before and then I saw that special of Family on Ecstasy. And then you were like, oh, whoa. Maybe I should not. That's what this was.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Let me never do this again. Let me chill out. Are you still friends on Crack still? Because Crack is very good. Shut the hell up. That's a good question. Shut the hell up.
Starting point is 00:58:04 That special may not have affected your friends the way it did you, Angie. First of all, friends... First of all, it wasn't like my friends. It was like some kids that I hung out with at my grandmother's house in her neighborhood, in the park. It was just bad influences.
Starting point is 00:58:19 And who knows? I don't know what happened to them. I haven't seen them. They weren't like my friends. They were like the kids. Thank God. They were like the kids from my grandmother's block. I'm glad you got better friends. Thank you, They weren't like my friends. They were like the kids. Thank God. They were like the kids from my grandmother's block. I'm glad you got better friends.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Thank you, man. Yeah, none of my friends. Absolutely. It seems like you've always been a pretty private person, so was it hard? Because you kind of gave up a lot. Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:58:34 I know. I'm like, Angie don't talk like this. And it's strange how comfortable I feel about it. Yeah. I feel like I gave myself an out, so when I started writing, I was like,
Starting point is 00:58:42 I'm going to just write everything as it is. I mean, with everybody, with my family, with my, like, I'm going to just write everything as it is. I mean, with everybody, with my family, with my like, whatever. Let me just write it as it is. And then I'll assess. And then I'll be like, I could either cut, do all that. But once it's out and you realize like everything happens for a reason, even that, even the crack thing. I use that as an example to say, like, I have compassion for people who have addictions and who go down bad roads because of things like that.
Starting point is 00:59:03 So I think everything in my story, in my life is for a reason. So there's nothing I'm ashamed of. And so I just wrote it and then I was like, alright. What about other people that you're telling stories about? Some of these people in my book. And maybe some of them are not going to be in the most flattering light in their opinion, but it's your story and
Starting point is 00:59:19 what really happened. Did you have to say, okay, let me let them know. I keep saying that I'm going to. I haven't made the calls yet, but maybe before. Maybe today when I leave here, I'll make those calls. I wouldn't. I'll make them buy a copy. I'm torn about it because I feel like whatever happened, people know happened.
Starting point is 00:59:37 So I'm not saying anything that's not true, number one. But you went a little in on some people about your feelings. But those are my feelings. I don't talk about, it's not from a judgmental or I'm trying to hurt nobody. I'm just telling you like what my route is and how I learned lessons because of things that happened. So as long as it's under that umbrella, I felt okay with it. And I don't feel like I hurt anybody like anybody's life. Do people hit you and say, did you put me in the book? I get that all the time.
Starting point is 01:00:04 I'm like, first of all, you're not me in the book? I get that all the time. I'm like, first of all, you're not even in the book. I don't know why. People that I kind of know, they'll be like, did I make the book? I'm like, no, I'm so sorry. You know what surprised me
Starting point is 01:00:13 about the book? Finances with you. You was terrible with money. I was terrible. You was that bad? Were you that surprised? I was very surprised. You didn't have those problems
Starting point is 01:00:21 when you started? No. You got a victim. Really? Twice. I've been in that situation once where I had to go to court. Were you already known and on the radio? Good thing was the problem was my wife's name.
Starting point is 01:00:30 So when I got fired from Wendy, she had to end up going to court. But it was just that feeling like, damn, yo. But you were so poppin'. You were doing everything. You were on radio. You were doing every club. I was like, wow. Here's your cash.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Then I was down at that eviction notice like this with the hoodie on. Like, oh, God, why did this happen to me? Did you pay any bills? I just was irresponsible. I just was, I had never really learned how to do that. And so I was like, you know, you get an envelope of cash and you just spend it. Right. And I was ripping.
Starting point is 01:00:57 I'm talking about from morning to night working in the club and come home. So, you know, my mailbox, I would check it like, you know, once every two weeks. It just wasn't something that... Opening those bills weren't important in paying it. It wasn't. A lot of people feel like that even now.
Starting point is 01:01:09 I think one thing you didn't... I don't see that you explained it. How did you and Mary get so cool that you could pick up the phone and ask her for money? Ask her for some money. This was Mary was popping at this time. Yeah, but Mary, you know,
Starting point is 01:01:19 I don't want to ever tell her business, but, you know, Mary has gone through things in her life too and we've both been friends to each other during those times. I think Mary trusts me
Starting point is 01:01:27 and I've always trusted her. Even in this, even writing a story about something that she helped me, I'm going to let her know, like, you know, I'm telling the story,
Starting point is 01:01:33 you know, so she knows. And I think she just, you know, we came up at the same time. So she's putting her first album out. I'm just getting started
Starting point is 01:01:40 popping on the radio. It was her. She would listen to the radio and then she'd come up to my show and she was like, I love you so much on the radio. And we just, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:01:47 we just clicked. And then we would go out and we'd hang out and then, you know, she had some things going on in her life. And we just were always, we're both Capricorns. We have like a very,
Starting point is 01:01:54 I don't know, a unique kind of understanding of each other. I was about to see the footage. Even to now, like, even now. And Mary and Angie going into a check cashing place. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:02:03 In the middle. Why did she have a check on her? I don't know why. I love that story because it's so her. She's so regular. She's such a regular girl. By the way, if you mix those two stories, the crack story and looking for a check cashing place, can't find one in the hood.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Why? Why of all the stories? Why of all the stories in the book, those are the two things that your negative ass resonated to. That's what saddens me about the book, though, because it's like, y'all era, you'll never see that again. Like, you and Mary coming up together. Jay-Z coming by the office. Going home before he was home. Listening to my album in the car.
Starting point is 01:02:38 We're not getting that. Some of those things I just take for granted. Well, everybody knows these stories. You know, everybody knows that Jay-Z and R. Kelly got into something at the Garden and pulled the show in the middle of the show and then came up to the radio station and interviewed with me at 2 in the morning. Everybody knows that story. But then you write
Starting point is 01:02:54 these stories and you start talking to people. I did colleges last week and I'm telling these stories and they're like, what? It doesn't seem real. Like even reading it, I'm like, yo, this really happened. Makes me realize how important it is to document it. I feel like a lot of stories, especially radio stories, I'm like, yo, this really happened. It makes me realize how important it is to document it. I feel like a lot of stories, especially radio, things that happen on the radio, they're just for some reason, like, not well documented.
Starting point is 01:03:11 I don't know what that is. Why? Or, you know, you know everything about artists. You know everything about videos because it's all visual. You see it on TV. But the stories that happen on radio, who documents that? You're right. All right, well, we have more with Angie Martinez when we come back. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right, well, we have more with Angie Martinez when we come back. Keep it locked. Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Angie Martinez in the building.
Starting point is 01:03:36 She has a new book called My Voice. Now, I was really surprised you got so personal in this book. You gave so much of your personal life. But you can't write about your life and not share it. We know you hated Diddy. Like, we know, like, it was just the inside. Hate is a terrible word. You hated Diddy at one point. He wasn't my favorite person at one point.
Starting point is 01:03:50 You hated Diddy. As we broadcast on Revolt, we both have come a very long way. Because when we worked in the other building, it was like, don't F with Diddy, don't F with Diddy, so nobody Fs with Diddy. That's what it was. That's a damn lie. Plenty of people messed with him. I just chose to not because we didn't have the best relationship Like, don't F with Diddy, Ang, don't F with Diddy, so nobody Fs with Diddy. That's what it was. That's a damn lie. That's the truth. Plenty of people messed with him.
Starting point is 01:04:06 I just chose to not because we didn't have the best relationship and I didn't want to ever have to fake it. And we never talked about it. I guess we should probably talk about it after this,
Starting point is 01:04:13 especially since this airs on Revolt. But, you know, we've come a long way, man. I tell a story about him being super supportive during the marathon and donating all that money
Starting point is 01:04:21 and, you know, he's who he is. But what was it about him that you didn't like? It was just moments. You read the book. Well, I'm saying it for people who are listening. There were moments that happened.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Well, they could read the book, too. Yeah, I don't want to give it away. There are moments that happened where, you know, his agenda was different than mine. And, you know, he was aggressive about his agenda as I was mine. And so sometimes that just kind of bumped heads. He ran up on you one time. Well, ran up is strong. Yeah. about his agenda as I was mine. And so sometimes that just kind of bumped heads. He ran up on you one time.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Well, ran up is strong. I mean, it was like... Let's sell the book, Angie. He ran up on you. He put me in a headlock. He forced me to smoke crack. And then we did the take back commandment. And then we did take back commandment. And then he threw all my belongings out of my apartment
Starting point is 01:05:04 and I was evicted. I was homeless. Because of Puffy. And then you did some of your Tupac interview in here as well. Yeah, I shared some of that. That says a lot about your character. Because I know for me, if that was me and I went out there. You would have totally aired it.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Immediately. Let's go. I'm like, let's go. You won't believe what Puck said. Here's the thing. I love that about you. And I respect different people's perspectives on how they choose to use their mics, on how they choose. Because it's important to have different voices.
Starting point is 01:05:32 It's important to have people who just want to tell it as it is, point blank. What I've learned is that I can't bend myself to do what other people do. If I spent my day trying to be Charlemagne, I would fail miserably. And you need security. And I would need security, and then... That's one of the things. There's a place for all these different types of voices, and it took me a while to really appreciate my own and want to
Starting point is 01:05:56 make sure that I'm always true to it. What made you tell that story? What story? The Pac story? Pac talked about his relationship with Faith, and you talked about that story. That was honestly, if I could be honest, that was one of the milder stories. Really? Yeah. It was.
Starting point is 01:06:10 That was a mild story? He told me. That was a milder story. And honestly, one of the reasons I dreaded ever putting stuff out was because of how it would affect outside people that weren't involved. But at this point, I'm starting to realize that it's kind of part of history. It's not for me to protect. I think everybody's kind of moved on with their lives at this point. Are you going to let that interview go?
Starting point is 01:06:31 The whole two hours? I am at some point. Really? You know what upsets me is that I've been trying to reach Pac's mom for the past couple of months to try to figure. I've been trying to get with her to try to talk to her about a couple of things, about what her thoughts were. I really wanted to be respectful about however
Starting point is 01:06:45 it comes out. And also, she has the original. I put a note in there that Pocket sent me, and his mom has the original. So I was trying to get in touch with her for both of those things, and unfortunately, she passed. So I'm not sure where it's going to happen, but it just has to be respectful and done well
Starting point is 01:07:02 at this point. It's been so long. You said you didn't want to put it out because you didn't want to cause problems but then pock and big both got killed yeah but imagine they would have both got killed and i would have put it out i would have forever held that like did i have something to do with that is it because of the you know i would have always worried that i'm so grateful that i didn't because honestly i would have lived with that forever i agree with a lot of the moves that you made in the book. Because I feel like a lot of stuff that Angie Martinez did, if I was in that same situation, I'm like, I probably would have did the same thing.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Because I do feel like a sense of responsibility to other people and not causing more issues than necessary, especially when something can be violent the way that it was, as harsh as it was in that time. It's crazy when you think about that time and how hostile it was. I mean, you remember, it was real. It wasn't like a gossip blog. It was scary.
Starting point is 01:07:51 It was real. You felt like people were going to get touched. And people did. And they did. But you didn't know to what extent, how many. It just felt very dark, like a bad time. It was. It was a bad time.
Starting point is 01:08:02 One of the gems I would say I got from you and watching you is, what people don't understand is, you know how to do everything. You know how to cut your own interviews. It was a bad time. One of the gems I would say I got from you and watching you is what people don't understand is you know how to do everything. You know how to cut your own interviews. She was cutting her tape. You know how to run your own boards. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:11 And you're real anal with that. Like if somebody works with Ange, you got to know she wants it perfect. And people don't know that about you. Like you do everything. You don't let nobody do anything. To this day, you still sit over there
Starting point is 01:08:21 and do an interview. I'm like, what's wrong with you? Ange's gotten a few fired over here for not being on point. You know what I'm saying? But that's not my fault. That's whoever's, that person's fault. It's like you know, I can't, and I think
Starting point is 01:08:33 as I've gotten older and more like, I just I just can't tolerate being like somebody that's not glad. I just can't tolerate people who are lazy or people who are not committed. I'm committed to what I do. So if you are part of my team, I need you also to be committed to whatever your piece of that is. But like editing, I still take pride in my stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:52 So I feel like until I have another Angie Martinez next to me who can edit it and know exactly what I want to do, then I got to do it myself. Will there ever be another Angie Martinez? Because you don't see kids doing the internships the way that we did coming up and things of that nature, working in the promo department. Yeah, because they're lazy. I don't even know how to tell kids
Starting point is 01:09:13 to be a radio personality anymore. Yeah, I know. Probably a different path. It's a different, like you have to go online. I guess online. It's people that are becoming celebrities
Starting point is 01:09:20 in other places and then wind up. It's just a different path, but the work ethic and the drive has to still be there. It's just a different path. But the work ethic and the drive has to still be there. You know, you can't do exactly what you did or I did or any of us did. You should take from it the work
Starting point is 01:09:33 ethic and the drive and the time you put into what you do. Alright, we have more with Angie Martinez when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:09:50 We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we have Angie Martinez in the building. She has a new book called The Voice. The foreword is by J. Cole. A lot of people, first of all, I didn't know so many people didn't know what a foreword was. Because people were like. I know. They're like, what does that mean?
Starting point is 01:10:02 Why is his name on your book? I'm like, come on, fam. Honestly, that's the only thing I didn't like about the book. Really? And I liked what he wrote, but I just didn't feel like that fit this. What made you choose J. Cole to write the foreword? Yeah, I felt like it should have been Jay-Z or somebody. No, I feel opposite.
Starting point is 01:10:16 I felt opposite because I think my space in the culture is that, like, you know, I have this history, but I'm also still very much in it. I mean, you can check my ratings in the afternoon. Go drop one of those balls. Talk that talk, Angie. You know, I have this history, but I'm also still very much in it. I mean, you can check my ratings in the afternoon. Go drop one of those bombs. I can't talk that talk, Angie. What it look like? No, no, I'm very grateful for them. We have amazing numbers in the afternoons. And so it's like I feel I have like one foot in this side and one foot in this side,
Starting point is 01:10:38 which is a unique position to be in. The thing about Cole is I feel like Cole is really a student of the culture. Like he's somebody who cares. And so in telling my story to not just the people that were there, but telling my story to people that are new and may not know these stories, he's the perfect person to
Starting point is 01:10:53 kind of deliver it to that. And he also speaks to the fact that there's things to be learned from the way we came up and the way that radio was at that time and hip-hop was at that time. So it was perfect. And I think he's amazing and it was the perfect one. I think Jay would have been, like, so predictable and so, like, what could he say that hasn't already been said
Starting point is 01:11:11 in terms of, like... We don't know. That's a surprise. Maybe he could. Maybe he could have. Maybe he could have. What about part two, then? But maybe part two. Maybe, yeah, maybe the second book, he'll grace me with a foreword.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Speaking of, he used to let you hear all his albums before you put them out. Was there ever any songs you told him was whack that still ended up being hits? Yeah, probably his biggest song ever was Hard Knock Life. I hated it. Really? I did. I hated it. Because I used to love the Andy soundtrack and I
Starting point is 01:11:37 just was like, come on, this is I thought it was like corny. I did. I thought it was corny. I was like, this is terrible. I didn't say it was terrible, but I didn't like it that much. I was like, this is terrible. I didn't say it was terrible, but I was like, it's all right. Are you going to single?
Starting point is 01:11:48 Like, I don't think, and of course, it's, you know, it's one of his biggest songs ever. What did he say after that? I think he just
Starting point is 01:11:53 would always take opinion and just kind of take it for what it was. I don't think it was like, he's like, I'm going to change my single now because you don't like it. I don't think it was that,
Starting point is 01:12:02 but I think he liked it. The same way, it's like I gave this book to a few people and it's so like, especially when you guys gave me feedback, people who are in your career
Starting point is 01:12:08 who, you know, it's important to hear what you resonated to, what you liked, what you didn't like. So I think for him it was the same thing and I think he trusted me
Starting point is 01:12:15 and so that became like a thing that leads to. Are you at the point where you realize that you and your peers are indeed legends? Eh, I don't know. Come on. One of the college
Starting point is 01:12:26 kids asked me the other day, when did you feel like you made it? I was like, I still don't feel like I made it. I still feel like I want to do films. I want to write a movie script. I want to do TV. This book could be a movie. I was talking about that the other day. I was thinking. Because I could see everything as it was happening in my head.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Like a mix between a modern coming of age, like a brown sugar. I mean, it would be a really You hitting the crack pipe in the trail would be crazy.
Starting point is 01:12:49 That makes you crazy. I mean, there's love stories, there's fights, there's work, there's struggle, there's success. You talked about
Starting point is 01:12:59 your love life, which was surprising. You couldn't wait to get to that. Man, there was one guy in there, I didn't even know you dated him and I know him too from back in the day. When I used wait to get to that. Man, there was one guy in there. I didn't even know you dated him
Starting point is 01:13:05 and I know him too from back in the day. When I used to work at Wu-Tang, he worked at Loud. Oh, yes. You didn't say his name, though. Yes, she did.
Starting point is 01:13:14 That's how I knew who it was. There was one guy you didn't say his name. I thought you and Tip was always a cute couple. You and Q-Tip were one of the first to pop out.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Yeah, the first to pop out couple, yep. Yeah, but we were so like people didn't really know. We were very kind of just like below the radar, so we didn't. Until you fought Wendy Williams. Who knew you could fight like that?
Starting point is 01:13:28 Hold on, don't get off the Q-tip thing so fast now. Because, you know, they tell a lot of women nowadays. What's happening to my life? They tell a lot of women in radio nowadays, don't mix the business
Starting point is 01:13:39 with the pleasure. I mean, it's for whoever. Some people, I guess, it works for us. Some people, it doesn't. You know, I dated somebody, then I dated somebody who wasn't. It doesn't matter. It just depends who the person is. It's who you like. It's who you like, and it's for whoever. Some people, I guess it works for us. Some people, it doesn't. You know, I dated somebody, then I dated somebody who wasn't. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:13:46 It just depends who the person is. It's who you like. It's who you like, and it's how well they deal with what you do. And how much they accept you. Because that was the thing with why I would mention any guy in there is because to tell you some of those challenges of being a woman, it's like, you know, when your man's like, what are you going to interview Tupac for? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Like, I think girls need to know that. I put myself in that situation and I'm like, if my girl... That's why we wouldn't have made it. Exactly. With a bunch of n****s in the room and all the n****s. Yeah, I'm going with you. We going. I feel, you know, Angie, because I wouldn't want to date
Starting point is 01:14:20 a guy that would have an issue with me going to do something that could be one of the biggest things in my career ever. This is what I'm saying. It's one thing if you're married and you have four or five kids. That's a different type of relationship. When you're in your young 20s and you're dating somebody who is not on board with what your vision
Starting point is 01:14:36 is for your life, you gotta keep it pushing. Bye. Bye. Not that you're a bad guy, but you're not on my track right now. The couple of relationships that I do talk about, they didn't work for the same reason. It's like, you're not going where I'm going, and so it's not going to work.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Did you ever get in dumb arguments? Like, you'd be like, yo, Midnight Marauders is classic. Like, yo, you're just saying that because you're dating Tip. It is classic, though. It's classic. Super classic. Super duper classic. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:03 People didn't really know at the time. I think most people knew Like after we broke up Yeah Then we weren't together For many years And we were good friends And people thought
Starting point is 01:15:10 We were dating I'm like you're so late on that So there wasn't a lot Of those conversations Did he lose a lot of music In that situation I don't want to say I'm talking about
Starting point is 01:15:17 Tribe music That was already done That nobody maybe even heard Yeah I'm sure Yeah all types of stuff Oh my god that was terrible They're talking about the fire Yeah I'm sure music Beat Beats Songs of stuff. Oh, my God, that was terrible. They're talking about the fire.
Starting point is 01:15:26 Yeah, I'm sure. Music, beats, songs that were completed, samples, all of that. Now, y'all were arguing at that time. Did he think that you set the house on fire first? Jesus Christ. Angie is not like that. Angie was smoking crack in Tim's basement. And that's what caused the house to catch on fire. I hate you so much.
Starting point is 01:15:43 I really hate you. Because that's going to be the much. I really hate you. Because that's going to be the headline on Baller Alert. Now, there's one part of the book where you just up and left your baby daddy.
Starting point is 01:15:51 Oh, wow. What did he say after that? You are really, wow, wow, wow, wow. I don't want to give up what happened, but. Let's leave that in the book. Let's leave that for the book.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Let's leave that for the book. But I will say, I was a little bit careful of that just because family and my son and everything. But also, there was a lesson. Listen, anything that I share and if somebody else gets family and my son and everything. But also, there was a lesson.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Listen, anything that I share, and if somebody else gets into it, I'm sorry. But honestly, I've learned something from all of those situations. Shout out to Tiffany. That's like a whole. Salute to Tiffany. Salute to Nikki. Salute to Nikki. No, Nikki.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Salute to Nikki. Salute to Peckers. That's the good thing about this book, too. It makes you respect other people in your life. Right. It's like, yo, they've really been down since day one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:27 There's only one other thing we need you to do. We need you to breakdance before you leave. You saw that breakdance picture in the book? We see that picture of you breakdancing
Starting point is 01:16:33 in the book. Yeah, that's not going to happen today though. But thank you though. Thank you for the opportunity. But that's not going to happen today. There's a lot more
Starting point is 01:16:40 in this book that we didn't even get remotely discussing. That's the problem with talking about books and movies nobody's seen. I know. You know what I mean? But go get this book. If you're a hip-hop historian,
Starting point is 01:16:49 if you're a radio historian, you have to get this book. And if you know nothing about radio or anything like that, you're still into it because it's very well written and great stories in there no matter what. It's like a hip-hop outliers. I love that you said that. That's so dope to me. It's amazing to feel how different parts kind of resonate with people.
Starting point is 01:17:05 And I'm really proud of it. Everything I stand by in there, I'm so happy you like it. It's a classic, man. Instant classic. A great documentation of classic stories from a classic person. It's The Breakfast Club. It's Miss Edge Martinez. Am.
