Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:03:25 It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. One of the funniest, smartest I know, but boy, this man dangerous. Wait, what you mean dangerous? You got a gun on him or something? Corey Holcomb.
Starting point is 00:03:37 What's up, y'all? I don't know how Corey get all the TV looks he get. Amen. Corey's the same. God must be with Corey. No, I'm going to tell you what it is, Chalamet. It's a lot of people who think like me. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:03:48 And my, you know, I'm crazy. I say a lot of wild, out-of-pocket stuff, but they can see through the madness. And they give me opportunities. And it's kind of like a lot of people think like Donald Trump. I was going to say that. So you might like Donald Trump because he's honest too. Well, I know why Donald Trump is running away with the race like he is. It's because he's speaking from the heart.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And a lot of these guys, they don't have what it takes to speak from the heart. Whether it be somebody who's speaking negatively or positively, when you're speaking from the heart, I think people recognize that because the truth is attractive. But we avoid the truth just because we want to stay politically correct. And bottom line, keep our jobs. You don't care for abortions too much either. You give girls hell when they get an abortion.
Starting point is 00:04:33 I'm a real hypocrite when it comes to abortion. Why is that? Because he'll send you to get one. Yeah. Oh, boy. But I can't go into abortion clinic no more because everybody knows me. How many times have you gone in? He'll be on Instagram, like on Snapchat. I see Corey Holcomb at the abortion clinic no more because everybody knows me. Yeah, every more. How many times have you gone in? He'll be on Instagram,
Starting point is 00:04:46 like on Snapchat, I see Corey Holcomb at the abortion clinic. Stop counting. I stopped counting. The abortion clinics, man, everybody wants to take selfies now. You don't want to take selfies
Starting point is 00:04:55 with that Planned Parenthood sign behind you. It throws off everything you're trying to do. That is true. It's funny, I went to the doctor the other day. That's funny. Just to get my annual checkup. Oh, okay. And I'm like, man, I'm in the doctor's office. People are probably going to think something's That is true. It's funny. I went to the doctor the other day. That's funny. Just to get my annual checkup.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Oh, okay. And I'm like, man, I'm in the doctor's office. People are probably going to think something's wrong with me. They'll lie. I'm like, I'm just trying to have a regular, but I did think about that. This one girl who I went to the abortion clinic with back in the day, she was mad because I got a lot of attention at the abortion clinic. She was jealous.
Starting point is 00:05:21 You were taking pictures with people? Yeah. She was sitting there looking like this, and I you know, I was taking the selfies back then. That is an awkward time. She's getting an abortion, and you're taking selfies with other people waiting to get abortions. That's an awkward time to take a selfie. I think the worst selfie would be right after she comes out of the recovery room,
Starting point is 00:05:36 get that picture with her. What if she would have said, I didn't know you was this poppin', I'm going to keep it. Dang, that's crazy. Well, let me tell you something about wisdom. Wisdom is very important when you're dating. You have to date women who need you. And I'm not talking about need you.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Need you in a way like, oh, I could do without right now and wait for this child support check. There's a lot of girls out there where if they're pregnant and you dangle some money in their face, if she real broke, you don't really need to dangle a lot of money. It was this one girl. I knew she was starving because I went to her house and I saw
Starting point is 00:06:11 the poverty. Crazy. I saw the poverty. It don't make you feel bad. What did poverty look like? It was pretty bad. That couch with the dip in it. Okay. You know, that TV that's still big in the back. It don't make you feel bad all that money
Starting point is 00:06:25 you had to spend. What? I don't have a lot of money like that. I'm broke. Poverty don't turn you off, though? Poverty lets me know
Starting point is 00:06:33 that I have bargaining chips in this situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's one of your rules. What's your number one rule? Don't give hope to nobody you're doing better than?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Well, I'm saying if you date these girls that do not need your little $500 you're in trouble. Deal with girls who need you, man. You're in a better position, man. You tweeted out, pick one.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Rich fat bitch who wear flip flops a lot or broke bad bitch with five kids in the pussy hanging like a Jordan tongue. Why is that your choice? Pick one. Where were you? Well, sometimes you have to make choices like that. What's your pick? You should be at those spots.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Where were you? Have you ever done a show in like Flint, Michigan or something like that? There's not a lot to make choices like that. What's your pick? You should be at those spots. Where were you? Have you ever done a show in, like, Flint, Michigan or something like that? There's not a lot of good choices, man. And I'm not drinking the water. I'm thirsty and thirsty. Too soon. Too soon. You're talking about Flint right now.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I'm double thirsty in Flint. Hey, Flint, I'm joking with y'all. Yeah, please clean that up. Now, you also said keep your side in a position where your woman kind of remind her that he leaves you in the streets and holds it down at home. Prioritize your host. Right. I mean, a lot of guys who I know who got money, they have done things for their side chicks that I feel like is what you should never buy a side chick a car. I don't care how rich you are.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Yeah. That's insane. And I know some guys who got money, so they just buy a girl a car. That's stupid. You taking her out the game. I thought they said just condos, they get them cars. That ain't fair. Some guys have had the same side chick for like 20 years.
Starting point is 00:07:52 That's right. Some girls are better as side chicks. But I know we need to put a salary cap on side chicks. What about being a side dude for you though? Of course, everybody wants to be the side dude. You want that. You don't want no obligation. I want to be the side dude to somebody that got some money. I don't want to just be some side dude for some regular ass. You don't want no obligation. I want to be the side dude to somebody that got some money. I don't want to just be some side dude for some regular ass girl.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Well, it depends on what that regular girl can do. There's some girls out here with amazing, I'll call them convertible tonsils. They tonsils just go back. Like convertible. I like your top ten things not to do in dating. I like number four. Always lie about the number of previous sexual partners you've been with. Always. Because nobody's ready for that.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Who asked somebody that? Everybody asked about the body count. Really? I feel like people don't really ask questions like that. People still do that? You ask women how many people have you had sex with? Just to make conversation, yeah. Sometimes you get interesting answers because girls never want to tell the truth about how many people they've had sex with.
Starting point is 00:08:45 So why should I? I just think the best answer to that is it's not really something I want to talk about. But that's arrogance. You could say that to a dude and get away with it because he still want to smash. There's some girls where if they said that, you'd be like, bitch, I'm gone then. And I automatically assume you a hoe. How many guys you slept with that you don't want to talk about? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I've never had anybody ask me that. I'll pray for you because I know you just get so many phony guys and it all sounds good. No one has ever asked me that. When was the last time a dude said, bitch, shut the fuck up to you? Never. Nobody has ever in life said that to me. You are missing out, man. I've never been in love.
Starting point is 00:09:21 But can you imagine if you were like an attractive girl with a job like this? Nobody's ever going to keep it real with her. Never. Until you get broke down and older. Then all of a sudden dudes going to be like, bitch, how many bitches you slept with? But right now, you don't have to worry about that, babe. You safe. And I would never ask a guy that.
Starting point is 00:09:36 I would never be like, because I always assume that guys don't even probably really know. Well, they don't. Do you know how many girls you slept with? No. Right. You stop counting. After you slept with about 20 girls, you don't even keep up with it no more. Yeah. It's all a blur. And you think you remember all
Starting point is 00:09:50 of them like you could in your head? Anybody I slept with, if I saw them, I would know them. Really? Anybody I slept with, there's something about looking down on somebody with sweat dripping in their hair. Because I know guys who would be like, man, I feel like I slept with that girl, but I'm not sure. I can't remember. Oh, those guys have Alzheimer's.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I don't know. I'm never going to forget nobody I slept with. All right. Well, keep it locked. We got more with Corey Holcomb when we come back. Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:10:14 The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Comedian Corey Holcomb is in the building. Now, Charlamagne? What you really hitting them with lately? Like, what's the one thing that presses the button?
Starting point is 00:10:30 Well, the main thing that presses the button are the illegitimate kids that a lot of guys have to be phony with and smile with. Like, when you meet a girl and, you know, hey, little man, how you doing? Like that. I really go in on that. So, couples who are in situations where the guys had to be phony with the little kid when they first meet them, I've seen those arguments in the parking lot.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Oh, my gosh. I feel good about that, too. I'm not even going to lie. Because I don't know y'all, and I've touched y'all lives like that. You ever had somebody run up on you? Because I remember you used to tell the joke about the... Shout out to all you girls in here who get vaginal rejuvenation and make you right back the way it was before your uncle touched it. I say a lot of crazy stuff. Before your what was before your uncle touched it. I say a lot of crazy stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:06 What? Before your uncle touched it. I don't know. I say a lot of crazy stuff. But if I don't know you, why would you take it so seriously? If I call out your name. Right. I'm just.
Starting point is 00:11:16 These are jokes. A general joke. But what if your uncle really touched a girl? A girl. My uncle really touched me. That wasn't funny. Well, why are you bringing it up now? That's like the unfair thing that's happening to Bill Cosby.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Let me ask you, what would you do in this situation? Let's just say you were with a girl. Y'all broke up. She's famous. And then she tells everybody that she put fingers in your... Then she really did. Would you comment on it or do you ignore it? Well, you can't do nothing but ignore it.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Because if you comment on it, you're going to feed into it. Especially if it really happened. Right. You know what I'm saying? Because this is what happens. Nobody wants to say, there are some freaky girls out here who like that butt play. And some freaky guys that enjoy it as well.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Okay, but this is what I'm saying. There's some girls who ignore this, and that is... Ignore she a fucking girl. No, I had one of them little finger pokers around me. And so I came in there with straight up gyro meat in my ass. And she still was, you know what I'm saying? She tried to, but I got, my ass still nude. It still got the wrap on it.
Starting point is 00:12:15 So she couldn't break that seal like that back there. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? But it was still back there. And I had on white drawers. So I'm trying to give her every warning. She's looking out for the power. Because she knows what type of guy you are. So no matter what, she'll be like, I put my finger in Kari.
Starting point is 00:12:29 She can talk all that talk you want. Hey, and you know what? Girls will do that. Everything that you let them get away with, that they know takes away from your street cred. Like you like your nipples stuck, right? Why would you ask me? She said I like my nipples touched.
Starting point is 00:12:47 The worst thing out of all them girls are those biters. What's up with that? Why do people get off biting people? What is that about? What do you mean, like biting all over? Biting anything. Why are you biting something on another human being? Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's Corey Holcomb.
Starting point is 00:13:02 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, man. Thank you for having me's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, man. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, J.D., Jermaine Dupri.
Starting point is 00:13:17 What's up? What's up? Historically, you signed a lot of artists who, like, kind of came and went. Do you think that helped or hurts your legacy? I don't know. I mean, you know, I think that... Like what artists you talking about? Yeah, like what artists?
Starting point is 00:13:28 I mean, like, you know, like Bone Crusher, even the Franchise Boys, J. Quan, like... Those three artists that you named in particular, I didn't sign them the same way I signed The Brat or the same way I signed Bow Wow or the same way I signed Jagged. My hand wasn't in control of their career. Bone Crusher
Starting point is 00:13:45 came to my radio show and he brought me Never Scared. And I was like, yes, this is a hit. Envy, we going with this. We out. And I just took the record and put it out based on what it was. I didn't have control of his second single. A lot of those artists, once again, they was honing their own thing. Like, JD, we got this. We got producers in-house. We don't need Jermaine Dupri production. We just need that Jermaine Dupri promotion. So it's crazy because a lot of people don't even know. I signed Rocco. I don't get social death credit for signing Rocco.
Starting point is 00:14:13 But I signed him. I'm the one who brought him to Def Jam. You know, so. In this day and age, how does an artist get your attention? Somebody that you've never met before, never seen, doesn't live in Atlanta, is not going to run into you. What can they do? Because people always ask me.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Go to global14.com. Put your music up on my site. Post it. It's SoundCloud, YouTube, however you want to do it. And leave a message. I'm on there every day. And I see it. And the people on the site is talking to me and telling me,
Starting point is 00:14:38 Jermaine, you should listen to this or you should listen to that. Or Instagram. I'm on all my social medias all day long. You know, you can hit me up and if I see it, you know, like all the kids that's hitting me right now
Starting point is 00:14:48 talking about I want to be on season two and I don't even have a season two yet. I see all that. I see it. Do you think you can make somebody into a star
Starting point is 00:14:55 that's trying to do music but maybe they're not developed and not that great? Do you think you can make someone into a star or is it something that you have to have? No, I can make you
Starting point is 00:15:02 into a star. Look at her face. Even in this day and age? But you have to have? No, I can make you into a star. Look at her face. Even in this day and age? But you have to have something. Like, I made Criss Cross into rappers. They weren't rappers. When I met them, I said, what do y'all do? And I was hoping that they'd say, we rap.
Starting point is 00:15:14 And they was like, we don't do nothing. We just chill. Is that true? You saw them in a mall or something? Yeah, this was a conversation. I seen them in a mall. They was buying the same type of clothes I was buying. They was geared up.
Starting point is 00:15:24 And I was like, so wait a minute. Y'all don't do nothing? It's like, nah, we don't do nothing. And I'm thinking like, at that time, I'm like, I don't watch Nickelodeon or whatever was on. I'm like, maybe these kids is on TV. And I said, for real, you seriously don't do, we don't do nothing. We just chill. We come to Green Brow Mall
Starting point is 00:15:39 every weekend and we get girls. And the way they was talking to me, I was just like, y'all need to be rappers. And if you got that attitude and I can see it and sense it, then I can turn you into a star. That's like a Powerball ticket, though. Like, that don't happen. Producer walking in the mall, Jermaine Dupri, like, y'all look like stars.
Starting point is 00:15:59 What are you doing? Yeah, but I mean, yeah, it is on both sides because it's not, it's, you know, in Atlanta, I mean, you from the South, but I don't know's not, you know, in Atlanta, I mean, you're from the South, but I don't know the last time you've been to Atlanta. If you've walked through Lenox Square, it's like a talent search. If I walk through Lenox Square, everybody in the mall got a CD. I'm like, what the hell did you come to the shopping mall with this? And that's just what Atlanta's turned into.
Starting point is 00:16:18 They believe they're going to bump into Polo. They believe they're going to see Brian Cox. They believe they're going to see me. And by the way, one of us, we're going to pull up to the mall. Every time I do go to that mall, I do see people. Yeah, it's going to happen. Is that the way you found Bow Wow as well? Nah, Snoop found Bow Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Well, I mean, Snoop signed Bow Wow to Death Row when Bow Wow was five. Right. And that's where Bow Wow got his name from. So it's always been funny when people are like, why don't he change his name to Big Bow Wow? Snoop Dogg is Big Bow Wow. That's his name. And he gave Bow Wow his name, Little Bow Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I never understood why Snoop would sign a five-year-old to death row. Especially during that era. He had it. And his name was Kid Gangsta. So if you would have heard the stuff that Bow Wow was saying at five. I remember him. He was on Arsenio. Bow Wow was cursing and all that.
Starting point is 00:17:05 If y'all remember on the Snoop Dogg album when he say, hey, little boy, you back there with the braids, what you want to be? That's Bow Wow. I want to be a motherfucking gangster.
Starting point is 00:17:13 That's Bow Wow on the Snoop Dogg album. Bow Wow was completely Death Row-ed out. And how did you get him from Death Row? Because me and Snoop is like this.
Starting point is 00:17:21 And Snoop called me like, yo, JD, Death Row ain't the label for this little kid. I know you know what to do with him. Put our heads together and do what we got to do. And Snoop called me like, yo, JD, Death Row ain't the label for this little kid. I know you know what to do with him. Put our heads together and do what we got to do. And that's why I sure wanted you, they hated you at one time.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Yeah, he thought that I did it. That was Snoop. Over Bow Wow, he hated you? Oh, yeah. I mean, he hates me over anything. Who don't hate Jermaine Dupri over everything? They want to hate me over everything. You and Dr. Dre squared where y'all issues y'all had.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Yeah, yeah. I don't know if it was ever a beef. everything. They want to hate me over everything. You and Dr. Dre squared away y'all issues y'all had. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if it was ever a beef. Like I said, it's the same thing I said when I came to talk to you. I don't know why people say stuff about me just to be saying stuff about me if you don't know me. And I think that when me and Dre, when Dre and I got into the beef, me and Dre never even had a conversation. It was just like, pick on the dude that's putting out kid artists. Why? Did you?
Starting point is 00:18:06 Did Timberland went through y'all stuff at one time? Yeah. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. It was all of them. And I'm like, what did I do? I don't know. You know what I mean? All I do is have success.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I just think just because I do it and I don't be with a whole bunch of people and I don't be asking people to help me and this, that, and the third, I think people look at me like, man, Kim, he ain't, you know what I'm saying? I think it's size, too. Like, they go there because I'm little. Whatever it is. Whatever it is. Whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I mean, that's how it goes. All right, we got more with J.D. when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That's right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Jermaine Dupri is in the building. I saw you say you wanted to sign Iggy Azalea. Yeah, I did. I called her prior to her getting a real deal. And I was like, yo, you hard. You know, Brat hates me for this because people say she stole Brat's style. I didn't hear her stealing Brat. I just heard that.
Starting point is 00:19:03 More Charlie Baltimore than Brat. Huh? She could have been a little funkified. Brett style. I didn't hear her stealing Brett. I just heard that. More Charlie Baltimore than Brett. Huh? Okay. She could have been a little functified. Yeah, I mean, either way, but I was just like, I was on her real early. She was putting up these incredible pictures on Instagram, and, you know, people was looking at her as well as listening to her, and I think she misconceived my call as I was trying to get at her.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Yeah. I was like, yo, I'm trying to deal with you. You can hit my manager. And I'm like, yo, I'm trying to talk to you. Like right now, I don't care about no manager. What you telling me that for? And I just think she curved me real hard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:37 You was kind of like Tiger when he was trying to talk to the white girl about music on Instagram. Nah. No, no, I wasn't. No, I wasn't. No, I wasn't. No, I wasn't. No, I wasn't. Have you been thinking about a So So Def biopic scene that everybody else is, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:49 the success, obviously, straight out of Compton, the Death Row movie coming, Master P's doing his movie. Yeah, I just think that it's too much success
Starting point is 00:19:55 with So So Def, unfortunately, and people don't seem to, like, cheer for a lot of success. I recall when I first came up here, right, and we talked about the 20th anniversary,
Starting point is 00:20:07 Charlemagne didn't think nobody was going to come to my show. Yeah. He thought nobody was going to come. That was the biggest concert to ever come to Atlanta. And like Jay-Z ain't going to show up. Why? You know what I'm saying? Like this was one of the biggest shows.
Starting point is 00:20:21 So I think it's got something to do with it's so much success and it's not no agony of defeat. You got to have a def. Yeah, you got to have something, right? And I don't want to. I'm not trying to put that out there. So I don't. Y'all had some inside controversies, I'm sure,
Starting point is 00:20:35 that the public doesn't know about. No, not like that. Not like def, like NWA. Escape had some issues. No, but you didn't escape. Yeah, but not. I mean, no. I mean, that's probably the only thing that's like,
Starting point is 00:20:47 that's probably the biggest trauma that's ever come to my label. Chris Passon. That was tough for me. But Brat going to jail, that's probably the biggest. And we lived through all of the stuff with NWA. So when they moved their shoulders, we moved our shoulders. We felt it like a difference. I saw y'all's success
Starting point is 00:21:06 as opposed to a lifestyle of what was happening with Jermaine Dupri as so-so deaf was going to be doing. So no lifetime Jermaine Dupri movies?
Starting point is 00:21:12 I mean, I got, I'm on, you know, it might be 10 years down the road. I want to ask, what do you think
Starting point is 00:21:18 you could do for Iggy now? Probably nothing, but it's... I mean, musically though. Oh, musically? Oh, I could do a lot for her. But I'm saying, to go back to what we were talking about prior about teams, the thing I think is wrong with Iggy is she don't have a quarterback.
Starting point is 00:21:33 She don't have nobody to take the bullets. She don't have nobody to say, yo, listen... That's what T.I. was talking about. T.I. said, yo, you know what? I'm not doing this no more. And by the way, T.I. might have needed a quarterback. You understand what I'm saying? Like, it's artists like that that I say, like, T.I. might have needed a quarterback. You understand what I'm saying? Like, it's artists like that
Starting point is 00:21:45 that I say, like, T.I. to me was at a level at one time and he had to go back to jail and I think that might have hurt him, but I just believe all rappers need that.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Tom Brady, I won't say him, I'm going to say Cam now. Yeah, don't say Tom Brady. Don't say Cam. Tom Brady's still Tom Brady. Do you ever regret losing Miss Janet Jackson?
Starting point is 00:22:06 I don't know. I can't really say. I believe that my life is definition of a journey, right? And inside that journey is supposed to be things that happen. And me having a relationship with her, I definitely know was a part of my life that I was taught a lot for these eight years, and I don't know if it was supposed to stay. It was supposed to come into my life and teach me what I learned in the eight years
Starting point is 00:22:30 and keep it moving. But I missed it. We had Janet in the hood, man. I missed it. I had to go to DJ for her again. I missed it, man. But it's always the legend, the urban legend, that you messed it up. I probably did.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I'm a guy. Janet, though, GD? Listen, man. Listen, I'm going to I'm a guy. Janet, though, GD? Listen, man. I'm going to tell you one thing like this. And that's not where that came from, but I'm going to tell you one thing. I'm flawed. You know, I take that on the chin that I messed it up, but it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I mean, listen, that's why I use you as an example because I tell all girls, okay, now, if Janet Jackson can get cheated on, you're right, man. Y'all keep, you know, I'm going to just let it stay in the air Cause people don't know What the story is They just say what they wanna say
Starting point is 00:23:09 Like she thinks Confessions was connected To me and Janet That came I was just kidding I was just kidding That's what the world thinks That came out
Starting point is 00:23:15 So far earlier Than we broke up Like look he knows it too It's like what That don't have nothing To do with it That was my That was my
Starting point is 00:23:23 And I can say this Cause I'm A very Transparent True person I say this because I'm a very. Transparent. True person. I'm going to be really true with you. True person. That story was about my first baby mother.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Oh. Yeah. And my girlfriend and my first baby mother. Would a story about Janet ever be told? Never. Why? I don't, I mean, I feel, I don't even, you know, one thing I can say is that I don't want to go down in history as the guy who dates.
Starting point is 00:23:45 But I don't care about that. I want you guys to say this dude was determined to continue to keep putting out music. So a lot of times, even when we was dating, I felt that coming. I felt like that was becoming my moniker over all the success that I had. Oh, Janice's boyfriend. Janice's boyfriend. I'm like, yo, come on, dog. Like, I got Grammys.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Why you can't say Grammy Award winning? Because you brought Janice to the hood. Man. That'd be hot, though. JD, Janice dude. The Breakfast Club is Jermaine Dupri. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:24:23 We are The Breakfast Club. We have a very special guest today. Now, we say that all the time. We have a special guest. But today, we really have a special guest. A real special guest. This is an interview I never thought we'd be doing. You didn't think so?
Starting point is 00:24:34 I just never thought about it. I know. I was like, huh. I was like, Angela Bassett? We're nervous. Angela Bassett? Angela Bassett. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Good morning. Good morning. Thank you for having me. First, I want to say that, you know, everybody was so surprised at your beauty when you walked in. Nobody was surprised at her beauty. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you for having me. First, I want to say that, you know, everybody was so surprised at your beauty when you walked in. Nobody was surprised at her beauty. Shut up. Just come in looking like a troll.
Starting point is 00:24:52 They thought you were going to look a little different, but you look amazing. Who does that? That's him. Nobody thought that. Okay, first of all, we all aspire to age as gracefully as you. Man or woman. I don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:25:03 We've seen a lot of pictures of Angela Bassett as of late and even before that. And we've always thought you looked amazing. Give some effort. What's your secret? Is it water? Plant-based products? Plant-based food? What is it?
Starting point is 00:25:16 Yes, all that. All that attitude. Now, how have you been able to prosper so well in Hollywood? Because you're black and a female. I'm serious. That's really not a recipe for success. I know. I had a nerve.
Starting point is 00:25:32 I had a nerve. Just show up ready, prepared, and I'm enthusiastic when I get there. And deliver. You know, I think that's a recipe for success, you know, in whatever arena you find yourself. Be prepared. Be professional. And when you're given the shot, shoot. There you go.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Because you've been in some of our favorite movies of all time. Now, especially me as a female, of course, what's love got to do with it? Then Waiting to Exhale, which you guys just had like 20 years. Yeah, the 20th anniversary. And Time Flies. I can still watch that movie. I didn't know it was that long ago. I think that one scene is the epic scene of you when you light everything on fire and walk away.
Starting point is 00:26:14 That's the one picture you always have in your head as a strong black woman in a movie like Waiting to Exhale. Yeah, but you caused a lot of arson because of that. I know. It was your property, though. I showed up in jet. Some woman tried to do that, and they carted her right off to the Who's Gal. Somebody really tried to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Yeah, you can't just do that. And then, of course, how Stella got her groove back. And now that's like the saying for everybody. Like, you know I'm going to go to Jamaica and get my groove back. Get my Stella on. What roles do you go out for? Because it seems like you play a lot of heavy stuff. Like you was Betty Shabazz, Coretta Scott King.
Starting point is 00:26:48 And she was also Biggie's mom. Biggie's mom, Rosa Parks. Right, right. Katherine Jackson. I think people think of me as a serious, you know, chick, you know. But those were the roles that were available. And I guess I came through at that time. There was a time when there were miniseries.
Starting point is 00:27:04 You know, Jackson's, Katherine Jackson, 10-part miniseries. Then miniseries fell out of favor. Now they're coming back with American Horror and with People vs. O.J. Simpson, American Crime, where we see Regina King. American Horror Story. What made you do that? Because it's a different type of show if you watch it. Yeah, it's a different type of show if you watch it. Yeah, it's a different type of show. I think that it was a great role. Marie Laveau, historical figure in New Orleans who held prominence and influence in that town, in the South.
Starting point is 00:27:34 You know, it was a different South. Did you study voodoo for the role? No, hell no. That I left on the table. You didn't bury no chicken bones in the body of anybody? No, no, no. I was like, I didn't want to offend nobody, but I wasn't trying to get too close up on the voodoo aspect of it.
Starting point is 00:27:54 For her, it was gris-gris or gray-gray. Not white magic, not black magic, but gray-gray. Whatever serves the situation at the time. Your husband's an actor as well. Do you guys challenge each other as far as when y'all starting to do stuff? Like he's doing the People vs. OJ now. He's playing Johnny Cochran. Do you challenge him and be like, ah, you did all right?
Starting point is 00:28:14 No, no. See, that would be you. We ain't like that. I don't even play like that. He's sensitive soul. No, no. I'm just applauding him. Like, you know, I'll watch it, you know, have it on the DVR and we'll do a particular scene.
Starting point is 00:28:30 And I'll just go back and play it again and play it again and play it again. You killed it, you rocked it. You know, you got to, you know, pump your man up. But it's true. I mean, he really is killing it. All right, well, we have more with Angela Bassett when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now we have a special legend in the building, Miss Angela Bassett. Now, what made you do Notorious? Who's not a fan of Biggie? He was a fan.
Starting point is 00:28:59 You were a fan of Biggie? Yeah, fan of Biggie. They want you to play everybody's mama, though. Yeah. You want to play your mama? I'd rather you play my wife. I ain't never thought about a mama like that. But let it reach out to you personally.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I know she was, like, petitioning. She really wanted you to play her. She was wonderful, too. It was wonderful to spend time with her. You know, just sitting in her presence and to see the light in spite of what happened to her only son, her beloved son, the light that still because that can be crushing.
Starting point is 00:29:32 So I'm just observing the strength of an individual who can greet you with, I mean, with joy, with smiles and braces and go on. You know? Did you have to take a pay cut for that movie because it didn't seem like it was a big budget movie. Oh, yeah, absolutely. joy with smiles and braces and go on, you know. Did you have to take a pay cut for that movie?
Starting point is 00:29:46 Because it didn't seem like it was a big budget movie. Oh, yeah, absolutely. What do you call it? Indie, you know, indie pictures, you know. This was for love then. It was an indie picture, you know. What about the West Indian accent? Because you got that down in the movie too, which was surprising.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Oh, just sitting. You picked that up easily. Thank you. Sitting with her. And it was nice to have that up. Because when you're in drama school, I think you're working on the Polish and the Irish and English. You know, it was like, I don't think I ever play those type characters. Could we work on some Jamaican or some Nigerian, South African, something?
Starting point is 00:30:18 Have you ever had that role where you're like, yo, if I don't win, I guess, an Oscar for this, I'm never going to get it. Because we all feel like that. We all feel like you got robbed for what's love got to do. Right, right, right. And who knows if a role like that will ever come around again. You know, just real, real deal. And sometimes I have to sit and look at those who won Oscars and then the career after.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Sometimes the expectation is so high after something like that where they think, okay, now you're out of, you know, what we're willing to pay. So it's been interesting. I look, I didn't win, but here we are still today, what, 25 years later? And it's like, you were robbed. It's still remembered. People still talk about it or are still affected by it.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Now, what about if they ask you to do a role that you wanted, but they're like, okay, but you got to gain 60 pounds. No, you can't do that. Them arms too tall. But I'm saying, you know, because a lot of actors have had it. Oh, yeah. Yes, they have. But it's a great role.
Starting point is 00:31:22 You really need to do it. But they have talented artisans. Listen, I had three boobs a couple of seasons ago. Three boobs? They looked, you know, American Horror. I had three boobs under Ding-a-ling. You know, it looked very lifelike. The crew would do a double take when my, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Your husband was like, okay, please get out of costume. When I come on set, they sheepishly look down. So they're some talented folk. You know, some plastic and rubber. So you're like, okay, if they could make you look like it, but you wouldn't want to actually do it. Yeah, it could be done. I would not.
Starting point is 00:31:54 No, most definitely not. It's too difficult. Right. Do you even care about the Oscars? Um, care. I enjoyed it the time that I went, you know, back in 93. I had a good time. It was very, very exciting. That's a damn went, you know, back in 93. I had a good time. It was very, very exciting.
Starting point is 00:32:07 It was very exciting. I went for about nine years or something. But when I see more inclusion, that's when I can get excited. Right. When I see what life looks like. Diverse. Did you feel like you should have won that year? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Absolutely. Hands down. I don't even remember who won that year. I do. Does she still around? Is she still around? She's somewhere. Go Google it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Were you upset when you didn't win? No, I wasn't upset. But, you know, life is like, shoot. They had never been. They had never been. I mean, it was, I guess, a big deal that I was even nominated. That it was even seen so that a gang
Starting point is 00:32:50 of people could make a vote. And then both Lawrence and me were both nominated. You gotta play a stripper, man. You play a stripper, they'll give you an Oscar. Who? A stripper. A stripper? He's trying to say stripper. He can't say stripper.
Starting point is 00:33:04 He can't pronounce it.pper. A stripper. A stripper. He can't say stripper. He can't pronounce it. Street, straight, strong. Uh-huh. Scrimp. Scrimp. There you go. Scrimps.
Starting point is 00:33:13 There you go. Some scrimps. There you go. All right. A stripper. I was like. Would you trade your image awards for an Oscar? My nine, ten image awards? Ten image awards for one Oscar.
Starting point is 00:33:24 No, I'm greedy. I want them all. I want them all. Three? Three image awards for one Oscar. No, I'm greedy. I want them all. I'm a matter of words. Three image awards for one Oscar? No. There you go. You see that body? That brother leaning backwards holding the world.
Starting point is 00:33:35 You're a pervert, man. Stop looking at me. No, man. I'm sorry. She leaned back. She said, you see this body? Oh, no. I said that body.
Starting point is 00:33:42 I said that body. The brother on the Image Awards. He's as handsome as Oscar. You said who? He's checking you out. I'm talking. You do this and say, you see that body? I didn't say that.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Don't be afraid to get your husband to come up here and smack him up. God bless your husband, okay? I don't know what he did in his life to be such a lucky man, but salute to him. Appreciate you joining us. Thank you for having me. Thanks for being so kind. Vitamin water or something. Tell people that that's
Starting point is 00:34:14 what keeps you where you are. Like Patty got her pie, you can have your vitamin water. I don't like the way you're looking at her, man. I just don't like it. Stop it. I'm going to have something. I'm doing something. I'm working on something. Yeah're looking at her, man. I just don't like it. Stop it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to have something. You see, Patty got her groove back. I'm doing something. I'm working on something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:27 You saw that, right? Everybody getting their groove back. Jennifer Lopez. She lost her groove? No. Oh, she went back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Angela Bassett is the breakfast club. Angela Bassett. Good morning. Angela Bassett. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club, and we got a special guest in the building. That's right.
Starting point is 00:34:48 This man has performed more miracles than Jesus. Really? Yes. Dr. Miami? Dr. Damn Miami. Okay, give him a round of applause, Dr. Miami. Thank you for having me, guys. You touch more breasts in here than, I mean, any man that I know.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Thank you. Inside and out. Hold on, you do the inside, too? Oh, yeah. Rejuvenate him? Yeah, we do everything. Yeah, they do vaginal rejuvenation. Front,. Inside and out. Hold on, you do the inside too? Oh, yeah. Rejuvenate them? Yeah, we do everything. Yeah, they do vaginal rejuvenation. Front, side, and back.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Doing some vaginal rejuvenation. That's the biggest, hottest thing right now. Really? Mm-hmm. So it's what, girls coming in, they want to be virgins again? Practically. Yeah. Just redoing everything.
Starting point is 00:35:20 What do you do? We can tighten it. Okay. We can get rid of the extra skin. You know, it doesn't look right. Yeah, yeah. Yes We can tighten it. We can get rid of the extra skin. You know, it doesn't look right. Yeah, yeah. Yes, that's it. Now, what's the biggest procedure for men and what's the biggest procedure for women?
Starting point is 00:35:30 For men, it's liposuction. Getting rid of, you know, man boobs. That's number one. That was an issue one of my friends just had with her, this guy she was dating. She said everything about him was great, but he has these man boobs. And there's no real way you can get rid of those. Not in the gym, no. You need surgery.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Really? That's the only way. I thought it was just push-ups. No. No those. Not in the gym, no. You need surgery. Really? It's the only way. I thought it was just push-ups. No. No way. Push-ups and bench press? No. And some weight?
Starting point is 00:35:49 No. That's number one. Number two is maybe rhinoplasty, you know, nose jobs, that kind of thing. What's rhinoplasty? Nose jobs. Oh, nose jobs. I saw they have these new nose jobs that don't require surgery. Is that real?
Starting point is 00:36:00 That's true. That's true. The thing is, it doesn't make the nose smaller. It makes it actually bigger. But if you have a bump in your nose, it just comes out like a hook or something, you could put something above the bump to make it, like, bigger but straighter. That's a non-surgical nose job. Yeah, so I think Tahiri or somebody did that on her.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Yeah, and it also, like, makes it look, like, contoured. Like, you don't have to contour it with makeup. Yeah, we know that Snapchat has been doing really well for you as far as getting new clients, and clearly you've been Snapchatting a lot of the surgeries. You Snapchat the surgeries? Oh, yeah. You don't follow Miami Homes? No.
Starting point is 00:36:29 You crazy. You don't get permission for that? Of course we get permission. By the patients. Yeah. I mess up on Snapchat, though. Like, if you mess up or something. Hey, if I mess up, it's bad anyway.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Yeah. By the way, it doesn't matter if one person's watching or a million. So how does that work? Because I know a lot of reality stars are coming to you, a lot of celebrities. And usually, you know, people get plastic surgery, they don't really want anybody to know. Not anymore. Plastic surgery changed a lot in the last five years. People talk about it now. People talk
Starting point is 00:36:54 about it at lunch. They watch it on their Snapchat, on the bus, wherever. It's out there. People are doing it and talking about it. The real Dr. Miami. You was up for best Snapchatter against Kylie Jenner. And DJ Khaled. DJ Khaled.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Did you win? I lost to DJ Khaled. I lost. He didn't want you to win. They didn't want me to win, and I didn't win. Look at that. Was it a numbers thing? Yeah, it was a numbers thing, and it's like an academy.
Starting point is 00:37:18 I think he deserves it. I mean, he really changed the game with Snapchat. He's a great guy, and he's representing the 305 just like me, so that's cool. What surgery would you perform on Khaled? Oh, man. To get his body a little right. Man, no. He's a great guy, and he's representing the 305, just like me, so that's cool. What surgery would you perform on Khaled? Oh, man. Man, no, he's working out. He's working out. We'll see. When he loses that weight, you know. He's always working out, but it never, like, changes. Now he lost a bunch of weight.
Starting point is 00:37:36 It'll happen for him. It'll happen for him. I believe in him. I believe in you. They don't want you to lose weight, DJ. His man wins. Probably extra skin. When the weight's gone. When the weight's gone. First, you got to lose the weight. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I saw these twins, and they were talking about how many squats they do a day. And they were saying that. One of those twins works for me. Oh, really? Yeah. So you know you gave her the butt lift. Listen, I don't want to talk out of school, but everybody knows. Do you ever tell her, knock it off?
Starting point is 00:38:05 No. Oh. It's just interesting because it does seem like some people get things done, and we cannot look at them and tell. And then they deny it. That's stupid. They think we're stupid. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And your wife doesn't have a problem with you touching all these breasts? Nah, I've been married 21 years. My wife knows me so well. And you got five kids. I got five kids, yeah. That's the big misconception. People think you so well. And you got five kids. I got five kids, yeah. That's the big misconception. People think you out here like. No.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Having sex with all these different chicks. No, no. Do people really think that? I don't, I've never heard that. I, I, people do say that. Yeah. People like teenagers will come up to me like, whoa, you must get so much. I'm like.
Starting point is 00:38:38 So much ass. No, no. I got a wife. I got five kids. Yeah, I'm a good boy. Do you ever get tempted? Of course. Really? Yeah. You want to, you want to I'm a good boy. Do you ever get tempted? Of course. Really?
Starting point is 00:38:45 Yeah. You want to partake in some of your work? Test it out. I'm a man, flesh and blood. Yeah, but don't get high off your own supply. Don't get high on your own supply. That's the rule number one, obviously. Do you and your wife talk about that?
Starting point is 00:38:57 Do you tell her, like, look, baby, I did some great work today. You should see it. I want to have sex with her. But I'm not. No, no, I'm not. No, I get slapped for that. But, no, but listen, as a man,. No, I get slapped for that. No, but listen,
Starting point is 00:39:08 as a man, you see a beautiful lady, things go through your head. But you gotta keep it in control. You gotta think long term. You gotta think what's important in life and pass. You ever done any work on your wife? Like every now and then? Like every few years you just remodel the house real quick? Just remodel the house? Put up a new kitchen?
Starting point is 00:39:24 Yeah, new kitchen, new bathroom, new drapes. Actually, no. I've taken off like a mole off her. That's about it. Wow. It's one of those ironies.
Starting point is 00:39:33 We got five kids who's got like not a stretch mark on her tummy. Wow. It's just one of those ironic things. Dope.
Starting point is 00:39:37 She can get anything she wants and she's perfect in my eyes. Now, what is this Surge record? Oh. You got a record label? Yeah, man. Really?
Starting point is 00:39:45 All right, stop it. You're doing too much, Dr. Kidd. Stop Oh. You got a record label? Yeah, man. Really? Alright, stop it. You're doing too much, doctor. Yeah, no, stop it. Calm down. So, here's how that happens. So, you know, our Snapchat is pretty popular. We have 1.7 million viewers a day. Wow. And we play music in the background during surgery, and people kept sending in, you know, their own songs, songs they want us to play, and we're like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:40:01 Send us your submissions. If we think they're good, we'll play them on the Snapchat. So it kind of started as half a joke. We actually signed five artists. Wow. I do not want to see you at no award shows. Right? I don't want to see you in no videos. I don't want to hear you talking on no records.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Just stick to the booties. I get it. What do you listen to when you do surgery? I was hoping it would be like some nice, peaceful music. You turn up. Betty Wap. Betty Wap. All day. Really? Yeah. Alright, well, Dr. Miami's here. 800-585-1051. When we come back, I'm going to ask if he ever gets paid
Starting point is 00:40:34 in singles. Like, what's the most amount of singles you've gotten paid? When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Dr. Miami's in the building. Now, if you don't know Dr. Miami, he's a doctor out of Miami,
Starting point is 00:40:53 and he will fix you up if you have any problems. He's performed more miracles than Jesus. Like, I literally saw Dr. Miami walking through the Fountain Blue and girls dropping to his feet. Really? Yes. Like, ready to kiss his feet. Like, thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:05 You changed my life. Really? Yes. Now, Dr. Miami, I was asking. I know a lot of strippers come to you. Yeah. What's the most amount of money you got paid in singles? And who counts on those singles? Rosie. Rosie over there. She counts the singles. I would say, what, $10,000 maybe? In singles? Oh, that's not that bad. It's not that bad in singles. It's a lot, though.
Starting point is 00:41:21 It's like a nice box full of singles. And they smell smoky. They do. They smell smoky. That's the club smell. That's for sure. And you deposit the money. It's a lot, though. It's like a nice box full of singles. And they smell smoky. They do. They smell smoky. That's the club smell. That's for sure. And you deposit the money. How do you feel like when you got to go deposit the money?
Starting point is 00:41:30 Does that make you feel funny? I make Rosie do that. What did they get for $10,000 in singles? Oh, you get a lot. You get a butt. You get a butt. You get a butt. You get a tummy tuck, boobs.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Yeah. When you walk in your office, is it like a dispensary or the McDonald's value meal menu? Pretty much. You pick number four. Number seven, number six. Yeah, boobs. Yeah. When you walk in your office, is it like a dispensary or the McDonald's value meal menu? Pretty much. You pick number four, number four. Number seven, number six. Yeah, we do that. We've heard some people have regrets about maybe getting their butt done too big or certain things. Is there anything that can be done?
Starting point is 00:41:55 Absolutely. We just suck it down. Just liposuction it down. Just suck it down. Yeah. Just liposuction it down. Take it right out. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:42:00 All right, because some people think that it's irreversible. So they're like, well, I'm going to... It depends how they made it bigger. If they made it bigger with some silicone injections or some kind of back alley stuff, that's really hard to remove. Then you have to cut it out and leave scars. But if you did it with your own fat, which is what the Brazilian butt lift is,
Starting point is 00:42:15 then you just suck it out. It goes right back. I see a lot of doctors giving you hate. A lot of them say as far as you showing off your patients and stuff like that on social media, that's unethical. What do you think about that? Nah, I mean, the testimony of that is there's now hundreds of doctors doing it on Instagram you showing off your patients and stuff like that on social media. That's unethical. What do you think about that? Yeah. I mean, the testimony of that is there's now hundreds of doctors doing it on Instagram
Starting point is 00:42:29 and Snapchat. They're just copying. As long as a patient gives permission and you don't put any identifying features, it's totally cool. There's nothing unethical about that at all. I mean, there's been videos on YouTube of all these surgeries for years and years. They're just boring. You know, I do it with a little bit of flavor.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Something engaging. Yeah. Something people are interested in to watch it. Throw some and years. They're just boring. You know, I do it with a little bit of flavor. Something engaging. Yeah. Get people interested in it to watch it. Throw some music on. Throw some music on. No drinks, no. Now, I see penile enlargements are getting more and more popular. Really?
Starting point is 00:42:54 Does anybody come to you for that? They do. They do on occasion. Oh, no, you can make the penis bigger for real? But it's stuck big, I think. It can't go back small. It's just you just always... Well, there's...
Starting point is 00:43:04 Okay, so the traditional way has been just basically fat grafting. You can make it thicker, but not longer. There's a guy in L.A. that puts like a silicone implant in. I don't know if that's ready for prime time yet. There's only one guy that's FDE approved to do that in L.A. I'd like to see more follow-up results before I put that on the line. You know what I mean? Now, when you were younger, did you take like apart Barbies
Starting point is 00:43:24 and like rearrange their parts or take parts from other dolls and put them on the Barbie. You know what I mean? Now, when you were younger, did you take apart Barbies and rearrange their parts or take parts from other dolls and put them on the Barbie? Kind of, yeah. Really? I have a doll that we made, funny you ask that, on my desk. It's like Mr. Potato Head meets Barbie. And you take off her boobs and make them bigger. You take off her butt and make it bigger or smaller.
Starting point is 00:43:38 I have that on my desk. We made that custom. I always knew I wanted to be a surgeon. And I knew I wanted to be a plastic surgeon from when I was a teenager even. So, yeah. So did you practice on people? Because, you know, guys that wanted to be a surgeon. And I knew I wanted to be a plastic surgeon from when I was a teenager. So, yeah. So did you practice on people? Because, you know, like, guys that wanted to be barbers in the hood would always come cut you
Starting point is 00:43:50 up. Did you be like, hey, girl. Yeah, no. Yeah, like in kindergarten with the little scissors? Nah, I didn't do that. Surgery takes a long time. It's like 15 years of schooling after high school, of training and all that. But then once you get out on your own, it's awesome. It's fun. It's a great career.
Starting point is 00:44:05 A lot of people, when they get these surgeries, it's insecurities. Do you ever try to tell people, well, maybe you don't need this or maybe you shouldn't do this? Is that the first option you try? What is the procedure if somebody comes and says, hey, my breasts are too small. I think I want to get bigger breasts. My ass is too small. I want a bigger ass.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Yeah, so, I mean, if it's legitimate, if they really have something that's wrong with them, that they feel is wrong with them, it's cool. But sometimes people come in and they say, like,
Starting point is 00:44:29 I have a bump on my nose and I can't even see it. Or like, they say I'm too fat and they're like sticks, you know? Those people I turn away. I turn away about 15% of the patients that come in
Starting point is 00:44:37 because I just don't see it and I don't think surgery is the answer for them. You can't fix what's on the inside, you know? That has to come first. But surgery can help fix what's on the outside and if it makes you feel better, it's awesome.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Have you ever turned anybody down and you looked at them and you're like, look, there's nothing I can do for you? You mean like it's too far gone? It's too far gone. We never give up hope. Give Angela an evaluation. What do you think? She's perfect. Thank you. She's an 11.
Starting point is 00:45:02 What bothers you? Anything bother you about your body? Listen, I'm very fine with going to the gym, working out, and being regular. Being regular. See, that's what I... More than regular. That's what I'm saying. You got nice, natural girls saying they're regular now. Like, no, that's the way it's kind of supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:45:16 I mean, I'm fine with it. I'm not trying to do anything different. I'm not trying to, you know, be on Instagram, showing it. I'm chilling. You're chilling. What about Envy? He got man boobs, and he wants some abs. I ain't got man boobs, and my abs are showing it. I'm chilling. You're chilling. What about Envy? He got man boobs and he wants some abs. I ain't got man boobs and my abs are good money.
Starting point is 00:45:28 What about Charlotte? Anything from lightening skin, you know? He's good. He's good. I'm great. What do you want? Let me see. How much would somebody pay for these?
Starting point is 00:45:36 Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. What'd you try to do? I'm going to show you something, Dr. Miami. I'm going to show you something. I'm going to show you something. Oh, that's about 10 grand.
Starting point is 00:45:42 All right. What is that? Don't worry about what that was. That's what I've been working on under this shirt, okay? He's good. He's good. Ladies, he's good. That's the second time you tried to shot with him.
Starting point is 00:45:54 I think you flirt with Dr. Miami. Dr. Miami, what's up with him? He's just trying to get affirmation from me. That's it. That's it. I want affirmation from the best, baby. That's it. What's your email?
Starting point is 00:46:04 On all social media, just TheRealDrMiami. On Twitter, on Snapchat especially, on IG, TheRealDrMiami. You see before and after pictures, everything. You see me do my surgery every day. Well, we appreciate you joining us. Thank you for having me. Is there a special code for people that listen to The Breakfast Club that can call you, get 10% off or something?
Starting point is 00:46:18 10% off. Rosie, what do you think, Rosie? You ain't got no reason to be cutting no deals right now. DrMiami is in high demand. What the hell am I going to cut a deal for? It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, ask John the Man. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed up.
Starting point is 00:46:39 So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Well, donkey
Starting point is 00:46:56 of the day goes to Martin Shkreli. Do you know who that is? Yes. Yes. Okay. Well, let me tell those who don't. Wikipedia describes him as American entrepreneur, financial and pharmaceutical executive. Personally, I just started hearing about him last year when he bought the rights to a drug used by some AIDS and cancer patients
Starting point is 00:47:11 called Daraprim, or Daraprim I think it's called. When he bought the drug, he raised the price overnight from $13.50 to $750. Okay, the main use of the drug is to treat, you know, life-threatening parasitic infections, and he jacked the price up to treat, you know, life-threatening parasitic infections. And he jacked the price up from $1,350 to $750.
Starting point is 00:47:28 He's the one that got arrested while he was on his... Recently. He said he was going to bail out Bobby Shmurda. They arrested his ass. Well, he's just another example of capitalism over compassion. A lot of people in America don't care about the well-being of people. They care about their bottom line, which is that dollar-dollar bill, y'all. Okay, he was also arrested last year on FBI charges of security fraud, which is basically stock fraud and investment fraud. But he's out on bail.
Starting point is 00:47:51 But what really put him on my radar, what really made Martin Shkreli a household name, at least in my brain, was the fact that he won an auction for the Wu-Tang Clan album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. It's only one in the world. And that one album was sold to Martin for $2 million. Couldn't do nothing but salute the guy after that. I mean, I'm a Wu-Tang fanatic. They're the greatest hip-hop group of all time to me, so of course I respect that, but Martin,
Starting point is 00:48:12 some members of the Wu-Tang clan weren't feeling the purchase. TMZ actually ran up on my favorite MC of all time, the God Ghostface Killer, and he had this to say about Martin Shkreli. You guys know that guy bought your CD for $2 million at the auction? Yeah, that's s***. You guys know that guy bought your CD for $2 million at the auction. Yeah, that's... You don't take some AIDS pill
Starting point is 00:48:29 that you have for, I guess, what, $7 and then make it like $800. Yeah, that's what he did. You know what I mean? You don't do that like that. I don't care if you brought the Wu-Tang,
Starting point is 00:48:36 whatever, whatever, whatever. Are you cool with Martin Shkreli keeping the CD or would you like him to... I mean, right now, that's out of my hands, man. Who would you like the owner to be?
Starting point is 00:48:45 I want the owner to be? The owner of the people. I feel him. The album should be for the people. And Ghost is right. You don't jack up the prices of AIDS medication like that. We know that. Ghost said nothing wrong. But I can't be mad at what Martin decides to do with the album.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Right, he bought it. If he bought it and he chooses not to let anyone hear it, that's his business. Personally, I'm not upset at Martin for that. I'm more upset at the powers that be and the woo who decided to sell that album for $2 million instead of just releasing it to the general public. I do wish some due diligence was done before selling the album
Starting point is 00:49:15 because it shouldn't have just went to the highest bidder. It shouldn't have just went to anybody. It should have went to somebody who's clearly not a douche, which Martin Shkreli seems to be. He seems to be a total douche. I mean, we should have known that after he jacked up the prices for the AIDS and cancer medication. But it was confirmed yesterday when I saw this video online of Martin surrounded by a bunch of goon looking dudes in hoodies and masks. OK, this guy did a he did a video like a world star rapper threatening my favorite MC of all time.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Ghostface killer killer let's listen dennis i'm gonna call you by your government name you're not a ghostface killer you know at the end of the day i'm very sorry for you you're an old man that's lost his relevance and you're trying to reclaim the spotlight from my spotlight i think that uh if you ever say some dumb again this album this shall i i'm gonna erase you from the record books of rap. You're going to be done. You're my son. You have to listen to me.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I buttered your bread. You understand me? Without me, you're nothing. I expect you to write me a written apology. And don't ever f***ing mention my name again. What? Get Ghostface on the line right now. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:50:22 You titled the leader's bastard if you don't take your ass back to the Caucus Mountains. Now, listen, you have every right to respond. But when I hear you say things like, you're my son, you have to listen to me. I'm your brother, your friend. You do not want to run into Ghostface. Okay, without me, you're nothing. It feels like I'm watching Django or Roots, okay? Sounds like a slave master talking to one of his slaves.
Starting point is 00:50:39 And Martin, you have to know it's not the 1800s no more, okay? You're dealing with not-turn-of-minded individuals. Watch who you're talking to. And how are you going to erase Ghostface not the 1800s no more, okay? You're dealing with not-turn-of-minded individuals. Watch who you're talking to. And how are you going to erase Ghostface from the record books for rap, okay? Ghost Legacy is solidified and certified with or without that funky-ass album you bought for $2 million, okay? I actually hope the album is trash. I'm sure it's not because it's Wu-Tang, but I hope it is. I hope you spent $2 million on pure garbage.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Now, Martin provided even more douchery when he FaceTimed TMZ and they asked him about his threats to Ghostface. Now, let's listen to this. How's the album, by the way? It's on your business. You don't have to tell us specifically what's on it, but how's the album? 100% on your business. I paid the money so you won't know. This is my coaster, as you guys can see here.
Starting point is 00:51:20 You know, that are in hip-hop and these guys take it seriously, are you worried about the repercussions of that? No, they're worried about the repercussions. You saw the video. Get out of here, man. Now you're disrespecting me. At the end of the day, it's not an act. Ghost is in trouble. He's an old man. You saw me. You saw my boys. I'm a young man.
Starting point is 00:51:36 I'm 32. I'm from Brooklyn, too. Just because he was in the Wu-Tang Clan 20 years ago doesn't make him a tough guy. He's just a dumbass with bread. Martin Shkreli, ladies and gentlemen, a.k.a. the DZA, the leader of the Douche Tang Clan. You know what you should be worried about? Jail. Prison.
Starting point is 00:51:50 You're facing federal charges for security fraud. What you should be trying to do is create some good karma, okay? The only way you can do that is by letting the less fortunate Wu-Tang fans like myself hear the Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album. Or maybe use some money and buy a whole bunch of that diaphragm or diaphragm and give it to the Charlie Sheens of the world.
Starting point is 00:52:06 But no, that's not what you want to do. You want to create problems. You want problems. Well, I hope you get them, okay? Give Martin Shkreli the biggest hee-haw, please. Yo, check it out, y'all. What's good, man? This is Raekwon the Chef,
Starting point is 00:52:21 and y'all listening to the best of The Breakfast Club. Honey. Hola. Morning, everybody. And this is Ray Kwan, the chef. And y'all listening to the best of The Breakfast Club. Honey. Hola. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a guest in the building today.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Goes by the name of Martin Shkreli. Did I say that right? Yes, I gave him donkey of the day. Right. This is the guy who went at Ghostface, who jacked up the prices on the HIV-AIDS pills. He had the goons in the background. Yes, He came in here and tried to shake my hand. I said, nope, I can't shake your hand. I need to know what you're all about first.
Starting point is 00:52:49 So first question, are you a privileged, entitled prick? No, come on, man. Break it down for me. I'm from Brooklyn, New York. I was born in Brooklyn, you know, privileged. No, my parents are janitors, dude. I heard, I read. So my parents, to this day, you know, my mom still does that. You're making 50 grand, you know, this is not a privileged family. I heard. I read. comes from a certain rap music artist that you may be familiar with. The God Ghostface Killer.
Starting point is 00:53:25 You know what I mean? Maybe, maybe. I was actually thinking of Jay, but, you know, whatever. Ghostface said that too, though. Okay. And all that I got is you. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:53:34 So you grew up from the hood. You're from Brooklyn. You're from the hood. Yeah, I think so, man. So how did you become this? How did you become so douchey? How did you become so rich? You know, I think that the media can portray people the way they want,
Starting point is 00:53:44 you know, and look, I'll give it back, too. You know, you've got a lot of people here, you know, to prepare for this. I watched you interview Kanye, man. He can act like that, too. Kanye could definitely act like a privileged, entitled, yes. So it's part of the persona, the mystique sometimes. I'm a confident individual. But, you know, after all that's happened, I do want to set some of the records straight.
Starting point is 00:54:03 I'm certainly not privileged, man. I've struggled. I went to City College. I earned my way to the top. And I think I should earn a little bit of respect for that. All right, well, let's talk about this Wu-Tang album you bought. Did you bring it? No, I'll bring it next time.
Starting point is 00:54:18 I'll even play a track for you if you want. So you paid $2 million for this album. I did. What made you say, I'm going to buy this album for $2 million? And it seems like you were upset that RZA wasn't talking about it, the guys weren't discussing it. Well, I'll break it down from the beginning, because this is the number one place for hip-hop,
Starting point is 00:54:33 so I might as well, you know, if I'm going to break it down extensively, I might as well do that here, is that all right? Absolutely. All right, so there's a lot of details, obviously, right? I think every rich rap guy interested in rap was interested. You know, maybe I could even take it back a step further I think every rich rap guy interested in rap was interested. Maybe I could even take it back a step further and talk about why I care about the Wu-Tang in the damn first place. I was a rock kid growing up.
Starting point is 00:54:52 I'm not a liar. There's nothing. I'll never tell a lie in my life. And I told RZA to his face, I said, I'm not your biggest fan. I can't name every track on every affiliated Wu album. That's not me. Let me be clear about that. I had summer school one year because I was it was a big derelict Troublemaker you know kid and me and this kid from the Bronx named Josh Martinez
Starting point is 00:55:11 Josh was always listening to Wu-Tang during summer school And I would always listen to like Nirvana or something like that and he'd be like let me hear some of that and I said All right. All right. Let me hear some of yours and we you know we dug it I'm sure you might got we dug it. I'm going to show you my d***. I'm going to show you mine. Yeah, exactly. Basically. Basically, basically. And he's like, you know, I don't really get it, you know. And I was like, yeah, you know, I don't really get yours.
Starting point is 00:55:36 But, you know, I always felt it a little bit. And then I got back into rap. And one of the big reasons I got back into rap was actually the Chappelle Show. When they had the Wu-Tang Financial skit on the Chappelle Show. Classic. That was a classic. And it really, quite frankly, I think it did a lot for Wu-Tang Financial skit on the Chappelle Show. Classic. That was a classic. And it really, quite frankly, I think it did a lot for Wu-Tang. It did a lot for rap.
Starting point is 00:55:52 It did a lot for a new audience because we looked at it and we were like, this is kind of, you know, it's truth is stranger than fiction. That would mean you want to get in the financial game? No, no, no. But I was already in it. You got to diversify your bond. Yeah. And when we saw that, we were like, this is truth is stranger than fiction. This is actually how a lot of us talk and act in finance.
Starting point is 00:56:06 And so I got more and more to rap when the album came out. I said, I got to own this. There's a lot of things rich dudes buy to just prove that, you know, again, I don't know what words. For tax purposes? No. Okay. To show off. Just because they're rich.
Starting point is 00:56:18 To show your friends, it's your last companies or whatever. It's like, hey, fuck you, look at me. I got this $2 million album. What you think about that? You know, guys do that all the time. So if you respect Wu-Tang, why disrespect Ghostface the way you did in that video? Look, you know, I have a tremendous amount of respect for the whole clan, you know, including Ghost.
Starting point is 00:56:36 But we're talking musically. There's a difference between music and real life and personas. You said you own him. You said he's like, I don't recall saying that. I did say son. It sounds very slave master, slave-ish. All right, that,
Starting point is 00:56:48 let me just end that right there. Yeah. That's not the intent. You know, son is a word that we use all the time. Yeah. Right? And it's meant to show disrespect.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Like, you're as if you were my son. So you would disrespect him? Of course. Why, though? He disrespected me. How did he disrespect you? Oh, he called me a shithead, I believe. What happened on that?
Starting point is 00:57:07 I recall. A lot of people were saying that because of the HIV drugs situation. Yes, yes. Which will give you a chance to clean up. I'll clean that up. But, you know, at the end of the day, you know, it definitely felt like, look, the guy was taking shots at me in the hip-hop game. It's not easy to be on the receiving end of those things
Starting point is 00:57:23 without jumping back. But you're not hip-hop. Whatever. It doesn't matter, man. It doesn't matter. Look, even in finance, it's not even a hip-hop thing. It's a man thing. You take shots at me, I'm going to come back at you, especially publicly.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Especially publicly. And that's just basic bravado and the basic manhood. I'm not going to let him steal on me. For what? I feel like you want to be famous, which is crazy to me because you're worth $45 million. I'm worth a lot more than that. But anyway. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Now tell us about the drug. What happened with the drug? Now they said that the drug, the pill was what? $13. You jacked it up to $7.50. You jacked it up to $7.50. Now explain that a little bit because people are pissed off about it. It was $18 with $7.50.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Same difference. The number one thing I'd say is in law, because a lot of people don't understand this, it's kind of interesting. In law, you can be prosecuted for not maximizing profits. In fact, I know people who have. And you have to do everything in your power to make as much money as possible in the system we've got. You can't go halfway.
Starting point is 00:58:18 And if we did the analysis, we said, we can go to 750. For $13? And nothing's changed. People will pay the $7.50. Not people, insurance companies, companies, et cetera. No one's got to actually throw the bills down. But if the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies have to pay more for it,
Starting point is 00:58:33 don't they have to charge regular people more? Absolutely. Absolutely. But why would you want that? I don't want that. This is one of the smallest drugs around. This is not Lipitor. This is not something everyone's taking.
Starting point is 00:58:43 This is a few thousand people take this medicine. It's very rarely used. So in the scheme of things, this is 0.0001% of the drug business. But somebody has to be buying this drug. Yeah. So for the people that are buying it, even if it is a small few, why jack up the price on it? There's drugs three times this price, ten times this price. This is not like an insane price.
Starting point is 00:59:05 If you know the drug business, you know that this is not that expensive. In the higher end range, but in the lower higher end range. There's drugs that are $2 million a year. But you did say if somebody can't afford it, you would give it to them for free. Absolutely, man. I'm not going to let someone die. I mean, I'm not an animal. But how are we going to get in touch with you?
Starting point is 00:59:20 We have a system, man. If you don't have insurance, you get it for free right off the bat. How? Right off the bat. It's done. What's the system? How do I get it for free right off the bat. How? Right off the bat. It's done. What's the system? How do I get in touch? 65% of our drugs.
Starting point is 00:59:28 I'm Charlie Sheen. I need the drug. How do I get in touch? I don't think Charlie Sheen has insurance. Charlie Sheen has a drug for free. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So your doctor prescribes it. Prescription gets sent to our pharmacy.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Our pharmacy says, hey, where's the insurance? You say, I don't have any. Fill out this form, and you get the drug. Two-thirds of the drug we sell for free. For free. People don't know that. People don't want to know that. Again, a lot of times people want an enemy. They're going to get an enemy one way or the other. And you can say whatever you want, but it's people who want the enemy, you know, and if I'm the enemy for you, good. I'm happy, man. I'm fulfilling some need in your life. All right. Keep it locked. We got more
Starting point is 01:00:01 with Martin Shkreli when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now we have martin screlly in the building now charlamagne you keep calling this man a douche and then when you was on tmz you was acting like more of a douche you wouldn't answer no questions like why even do the interview if you i'd be happy to answer questions look i mean people start off with me being a douche i can can be a very happy, normal dude. But, like, the guy asked me right off the bat. He's like, it's just a good idea, you know, for you to be insulting.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Like, you know, I can self-deprecate myself, but don't come at me. I'm not an idiot. Clearly, there's some satire in this video. It's meant to be a mix of satire and a mix of reality. It's your own sketch. So you're not really having goons that you don't really want? I have goons, for real. You brought your goons that you don't really want? I have goons, for real. He said, I have goons. But, you know, let's be, you know, one of them.
Starting point is 01:00:47 You brought your goons up here with you today? A couple of them may be here, but they were outside. Now, what about Bobby Schmert? Were you really trying to bail out Bobby Schmert? I would have loved to, and I was in conversations with his attorney a day before I got arrested. So now you can't do it? You know, I got plenty of my own business to deal with, and as far as I know, his trial is coming
Starting point is 01:01:08 up soon enough. So unfortunately for Bobby, I mean, he's, again, this is, we're talking about injustice and the criminal justice system. This poor guy, I was bailed out, literally spent three hours in jail. Maybe four. They got me my own cell, they got me, like, it was like... Oh, that doesn't happen to everybody. White glove treatment, roll out their head
Starting point is 01:01:23 carpet. White privilege, basically. You know, I know. Or rich privilege. Whatever it is. But whatever it is. But I heard the guys in the cell next door talking GS9. They're like, you know, talking about stabbings and shootings. I'm sitting there like, I want to be in that cell.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Right. But, you know, they're like, no, we're going to keep this guy separate. And I was on three hours. This cat's been in jail a year. Jail is supposed to be a temporary spot that you go in and out of while your lawyer gets your ass out of there. You put up some money, something. You don't have to put up much money. One of the amendments to the Constitution, I think it's the Eighth Amendment, says the government will not impose unreasonable bail. And what they're doing to Bobby is ridiculously unconstitutional.
Starting point is 01:02:07 It's disgusting. And as I've seen it, and I'm an opportunist, look, I can take this guy out of jail. I've got the money. I've got the lawyer and every lawyer in the country. I get him out of jail tomorrow. I'll put up the two. He'll wear a bracelet for me or something.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Why don't you? It's too late now. I would love for you to do that, but why? What's the reasoning? Two reasons. It's unfair. Then why don't you? It's too late now. I would love for you to do that, but why? Like, what's the reasoning? Two reasons. It's unfair. You know, the guy shouldn't be in jail. Again, prison is one thing.
Starting point is 01:02:30 You get convicted, you do the time. But this man is innocent until proven guilty. That's the basic concept. To incarcerate him before the guy's actually convicted and to deny his bail seven times? But it's a lot of people in that situation. Why Bobby Smart? Because you know it'll bring you attention? Well, I heard about it.
Starting point is 01:02:49 You know, I don't know anyone else in that situation. My boy, you know, some of my boys in that video, for instance, were in that situation. I could throw down for them immediately, you know. And I don't know Bobby. But, you know, everyone knows the song, his music. What's the name of it? Hot. Hot what?
Starting point is 01:03:06 Hot Boy, his music. What's the name of it? Hot. Hot what? Hot Boy, I believe. There you go. Correct name. I believe that's what Billboard... Yeah, that's what Billboard has it. Yeah, that's right. That's the name of the song. Could you potentially lose your fortune now
Starting point is 01:03:19 with all of the investigations going on? Never. Never, never. Why do you want to be famous? Like, I always say, if I had that much money, I wouldn't want nobody to know who I am. You know, the problem is, it just happens one way, whether you like it or not.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Not really. I would have never heard of you if you didn't try to buy the Wu-Tang album, if you didn't jack up the prices for HMV. Well, I still wanted to buy it. So how do you buy it and be anonymous? It's not easy. I mean, for a Wu-Tang, it's good press for them
Starting point is 01:03:43 because they've done something no one's done before. Sold their album as a piece of artwork. Yes, that's right. For $2 million. But you haven't even heard it yet. It's a easy. I mean, for Wu-Tang, it's good press for them because they've done something no one's done before. Sold their album as a piece of artwork for $2 million. But you haven't even heard it yet. It's a new thing. Well, no one's heard it. I heard a little bit. I heard a little bit. Not even before you bought it.
Starting point is 01:03:53 No, I would debut it right on here. You know, I mean, I love hip-hop. I mean, at this point, hip-hop has vastly, vastly surpassed rock. They stayed a rock music. Without question. It's not even close. Rock's in the toilet. And there's not one rock artist
Starting point is 01:04:05 I'm excited about. There's like 20, 30 hip-hop. I had Fetty Wap come do my Christmas party. You know, uh... How much you pay him? Heh, no. Leave that one alone.
Starting point is 01:04:12 A good amount. And, uh, he was great. You know, the guy killed it. You know? Well, if you love hip-hop, you'd never disrespect Ghostface Killer. I understand you feel like
Starting point is 01:04:20 he came at you... It was a tough decision. I'll be clear. It was a tough decision. Because it actually would make hip-hop people look at you crazy. Like, how dare he talk about you bought this album. Who is this? Yacoub's child.
Starting point is 01:04:31 This is Ghostface. He's an icon in hip-hop. Part of Wu-Tang Clan, one of the greatest groups of all time. He's one of the greatest rappers ever. But he's still a man. He still bleeds the same blood as me. And you want to talk? I'm not the one.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Do you think you have Michael Jackson's nose? No. I got a beautiful nose. He should be one to talk. If he were here right now, I'd smack him right in the face. No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:04:55 You're bringing the ring goes in? You would not smack Ghostface. Absolutely. Would you buy his album? Absolutely. I have all his albums. I got 36 Seasons. I got everything.
Starting point is 01:05:03 36 Chambers. The hell is around you? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That came out. Okay, yeah, you said Seasons. That's a of all his albums. He's got 36 Seasons. 36 Chambers! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a Ghostface solo album. Back to Donald Trump. He called you a young brass. You will not smack Ghostface, Killer. If you say so, I'll do you that honor.
Starting point is 01:05:19 I'm just saying, Ghostface got a lot of people that love him. And I know you're saying that, but you know, you walk outside, the streets are still the streets. I don't think you want those problems. You want to smack ghosts. Martin, anybody can get it, Martin. I know this.
Starting point is 01:05:34 And we're in the midst of this whole Black Lives Matter thing, racial tensions, that all-time high. They'd love to chase you back to the caucus, Martin. Don't make it a race thing. At the end of the day, there's people in my family who've been shot and killed. Did you shoot him and kill him? If not, it doesn't matter. So wait, if you smacked Goldson, would that be justified on his part, though?
Starting point is 01:05:50 He can try, man. Would you call the police on him if he beat you up? Would you call the police on Goldson if he beat you up? Hell no. Say that on camera again. I would never call the police. It's open season. Come at me.
Starting point is 01:05:59 It don't matter. Papa Woo. Remember when you did that, Sam Bronson? And in fact, I think there's a saying y'all are familiar with. It's called, I wish you would. You entitled, privileged, you're going back to this. I'm telling you,
Starting point is 01:06:11 I'm from the streets. You know what? 2009, how much money do you think I have in my bank account? That was six years ago. A couple million. $100.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Really? Can I borrow $100? Nope. I haven't borrowed money from you. Before you got here, you said he was going to ask you for $100,000 and see what Nope. Yeah, I'm going to borrow money from you. Before you got here, you said he was going to ask you for $100,000 and see what happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got plenty of your own connections. I just don't want you to get beat up, man.
Starting point is 01:06:33 I mean, I do, but I don't. It is what it is. Because you're kind of causing it on yourself. Have you gotten beaten up? Never in my life. I've fought many times. So you can fight. I've been jumped. You know, it is what it is. Most people, when they fight, they don't want to kill another man.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Really? What world are you from? I've been in many fights in Brooklyn. Like, you knock a guy out, you don't keep wailing on him. You're just like, all right, now you know. New era, Martin. All right, well, we got more with Martin Shkreli when we come back. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 01:06:59 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Martin Shkreli in the building. Now, Donald Trump called you a spoiled brat.
Starting point is 01:07:13 F*** him. Kind of agree with him, though. You know, he inherited, what, a million bucks, a hundred million? Nobody knows, right? And in fact, if you look at the numbers, he actually should be way richer than he is. He's been f***ing up, actually. He hasn't made as much money as he could have. All you had to do to be Trump is inherit that money and put it away and just put it in
Starting point is 01:07:29 your boys, and you'd be fine. You'd be the richest man in the world. So, in fact, he hasn't been a good businessman. He talks way too much. We all know that. And at the end of the day, you know, who's a spoiled brat? I'm sorry, where I come from, that means, like, you know, entitled, privileged, etc. No, my first job, I had two choices.
Starting point is 01:07:47 I was going to work at Carvel Ice Cream or I worked at a hedge fund. I was lucky enough to get a job at a hedge fund, but I didn't even have suits to wear to the hedge fund. I didn't know how to dress. Like, it was ridiculous. You were the Baruch, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:57 So you had $100 in 2009. How'd you get your first million? I started a drug company called Retrophin. It was the fastest growing drug company probably ever. How did that happen? How do you just start a drug company called Retrophin. It was the fastest growing drug company probably ever. How did that happen? How do you just start a drug company? Starting a drug company is close to impossible because you need hundreds of millions of dollars. Right, so how did you do it?
Starting point is 01:08:13 Go to investors like your boys. That's the company now that you actually, with the securities for a charge, has got to rest. There's a little bit of involvement there, correct. Are you scared to go to jail? No, I'm not scared of anything in life. You know, there's a lot of Wu-Tang fans in jail. You heard about what happened to Kanye West, right? You're talking about Amber Rose?
Starting point is 01:08:30 Yeah. She gets arrested every day, right? That's in plain daylight. You're a real rich guy, so what's the craziest thing that you've done? Because we've all seen Wolf of Wall Street. What's the craziest thing that you've bought and the craziest thing that you've done? Dude, I'm a regular guy. No, you're not.
Starting point is 01:08:43 You bought an album for $2 million. I did that to show that I care about art. What are you doing for the Black Lives Matter movement? The movement itself? You know, at the moment, as you know, I'm involved in a lot of stuff. I gotta figure that out. So, like, at the end of the day,
Starting point is 01:09:00 I would love to do some stuff for Flint. I would love to do some stuff for everything. But as you can imagine, after you're arrested, your life changes. Are your assets frozen right now? No, no, no. You know, but at the end of the day, it's crazy. You know, I mean, I mean, you have resources. I mean, you know, if you spend $2 million on an album, you can spend money.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Will you tell me what you think I should do? I think you should donate some money to like the activists, you know, like the D-Rays of the world, the netters, because they go around traveling. And, you know, a lot of times they just need funding just to keep going. You know what I'm saying? I'm interested in doing that. You know, at the end of the day, you know, right now, you know, there's ODB used to say this. I'm all about me right now. And people come and try to troll me.
Starting point is 01:09:36 I just say that. And at the end of the day, there's sometimes you got to focus on yourself. And for now, I'm in so much that I got to do that. And, you know, obviously, you know, the movement spoke to me. I just, you know, my world has been so crazy
Starting point is 01:09:49 that I can't focus on it. I mean, you can always just write a six-figure check to see the God World LLC and I'll donate the funds. I was about to do it. I'll donate the funds. Until you laugh.
Starting point is 01:09:58 You f***ed it up, Envy. But we appreciate you joining us. My pleasure. I still don't know how I feel about you, but I like the fact you came from nothing and made something happen, especially that you only had $100 back in 2009. You said your mom is still a janitor to this day?
Starting point is 01:10:11 Yes. You have enough money. You still got your mom being a janitor? Oh, she won't. Okay, I get it. I beg her every day. She doesn't understand the money in markets and things like this. I'm going to work for you guys, and that's it.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Great mom. All right. And Ghostface is going to smack you. We'll see, man. Bring it. I wish he would. I wish he would right. And Gold's face is going to smack you. We'll see, man. Bring it. I wish you would. I wish you would. The leader of the douche-tang clan, the Dizzo, ladies and gentlemen.

Starting point is 01:10:42 This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that?
