The Breakfast Club - Rattling The Truth + Classic Interviews

Episode Date: December 28, 2016

Wednesday 12/28 - Today we continue with the best interviews from 2016 where most of the interviews had to do with Charlamagne trying to rattle the truth out of the guest, such as finding out Pharrell's skin care secrets to if Plies and Angela Yee are really dating. We also revisited the time when Deray Davis came on the show and when Trevor Noah visited, both with controversial topics. Charlamagne awarded Bow Wow for Donkey of the Day and Marie Holmes.

Y'all are like a mega force. Y'all just took over every... Wake your punk ass up. This is Chris Brown. I've officially joined the Breakfast Club. Say something, mother... I'm with it. The world's most dangerous morning show.

Breakfast Club, bitches. You better call Becky with the good hair. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. D-Ray, the difference maker, David. Yes. D-Ray.

I get to be a special guest today. Thank you. You know what I keep wondering, D-Ray? Like, you have been the most popular D-Ray for a long time, but then the activist came along. Oh, he snapped off. But before we get into that, I must say, she looks beautiful. She looks like she's on Love and Hip Hop.

Stop it. She looks different. Oh, Empire? Empire? You look good. I don't know if I'm supposed to say that, you know. Y'all got some new hair from her imports, you know. No, it's more, it ain't just the hair.

You look good. I'm sorry. I can't not say she look good. I also have a tan. I was in Miami last year. A tan, a complexion. You came in today. Stop downplaying it.

That was all right. Now we good. I had to get that flirt out. I had to get that flirt off. I never shot my shot at you before. D-Ray has tapped the industry, by the way. No, man. What happened?

The half is heavy, man. He has two girlfriends. Half includes a lot. Yeah, I have, yes. I'm very, very committed. You got two girlfriends? Yeah, you know, I've been talking about this a hundred times. You don't listen to me.

All you do is call people fat, say who ugly, irritate rappers. That's all you like to do. If DeRay ain't been irritated, he'll remember it. If he's talking, he don't listen. How do you have two girlfriends? Well, you know, sometimes you have a date. You ever been single? No, you ain't been single in a long time.

I was a star, but you haven't had a wife since third grade. He came out of the womb with a ring on. He came out with a family behind him. No, what happens is when you're single, I was single for a long time, but then you meet people that you've been liking, and then you're dating two different people at the same time. You're dating, and then who do you tell, yo, I don't want to date you no more.

I'm going to try this. Do you tell a person, go in the waiting room? No. So what I did is I decided to be honest. Instead of getting my windows busted and cars scratched up, I said, hey, I want to try something. I don't know if it's not, you know, it ain't the usual program. We're going to get ridiculed. People are going to talk stuff.

But most men got two girlfriends anyway that just don't say it. And it worked? Like y'all go out together? We go out together. We're friends. They're like best friends. Yeah. You're my new hero. Wow. Y'all must not have ever watched Living With Funny on Oxygen. And that show alone caused a lot of like hectic stuff because

when it was just us and people assuming what it might be. But once you go on TV and say this is what it is, you know what I mean? With two people who don't really like... Carol, she's more into like TV and say this is what it is, you know what I mean? With two people who don't really, like, Carol, she's more into, like, TV and acting because she comes from that world of hosting and she was in pageants and stuff, but Coco's more like, she don't really, you know, long beach chick,

she don't really care about no TV. You know, people start saying different stuff. You know, get the pimp, you a pimp, you a player, and then make the words you want. You know, it's like when you with your girl and somebody's like, dang, another one? You're like, no, it's the same one, same girl. So, yeah, man. And y'all live together?

Yeah. Wow, DJ. They have a whole show about it, Living With Funny, what it's like to live with a comedian. Yeah, me, Brandon T. Jackson, Michael Blackson, we're called Living With Funny,

but I'm the only funny girl in there. Wait a minute. Me and some poets on there. No, I'm kidding. So, wait a minute. Y'all stay in the same room or y'all split them up? It's like one side, one side, and you... No, no. So wait a minute. Y'all stay in the same room or y'all split them up? It's like one side, one side, and you...

No, no. I mean, they've always... We in the same... Yeah, we in the same... You mean it's like same bed? Yeah. Yeah, but I mean... You don't have sex together?

Everybody needs to... No, man. We don't. That's what I'm asking. No, no, no. You got your wing. Of course they do. No, no, no, no.

We actually don't. We actually don't have... We actually... I've never, ever had a threesome with them. It's going to happen. Well, man, you know, I have pushed. I've asked subliminally. You know what I'm saying?

But you can't force people in that kind of situation. It's like trying to force your music on people. You know what I'm saying? People got to love the rhythm of it before they love it. You know what I mean? They're like sister wives. Yeah, everybody comfortable. As a woman, it's hard to put a cap on it, though.

We already living together, and we eating together, and we a family. You might as well have sex together. Yeah, I mean, I hear you, brother. I'm right there with you. Now, listen, why can't that be enough? Okay, all of us are going to live together. We're in a great relationship.

Why do you have to take it that step? And if you don't push nothing on nobody, I feel like, man, honestly, man, lie so much, man. We lie so much that when we start telling the truth, it's going to surprise women. And this is going to happen a lot more, I feel like. Isn't there a ball player? Who's a ball player that has a two-year-old? Well, they always say Lou Williams, but I haven't seen his girls. I don't know his situation.

I don't know if he got good girls. I don't know if they was. Because a lot of dudes got two girls. Sometimes they be two strippers, or they be two. If it's time to get married. If you got to have two legit. Until they. Look, if gay people

were able to marry each other, I should be able to marry my two girlfriends. You damn right. Polygamy should be legal. I don't understand that. Like, that bugs me up. Yeah, because you gay,

you can get married. You can go, you know, you wake up on another man's chest. Two men, you should be able to wake up with four breasts. That's a fact. Two chests.

Four breasts. What would you think about a woman who has two boyfriends? I've been asked that a lot. It's different for a woman because men and women are, no, it's different. Women are internal. Everything goes inside of you.

Things go inside of men, too, sometimes. Don't even try to argue to double standard. Girls are hoes if they got more than one guy and we're not. I'm saying if your daddy walking on you when you got two penises on your forehead, he's not going to be like, that's my girl. It don't work that way. If the two guys are okay with it, though. But a lot of guys are, and that's why they go to the strip club

and they both leave with one girl. Yeah. It's different. You know it's a train. It's not a train. It's a train. Girls be like, I had a three-step. No, you didn't.

You got a train ran on you. But it ain't not secret with them both at the same time. True. I know girls like that. And girls emotionally, though, I think can't deal with it you didn't. You got a train ran on you. But it ain't not two of them both at the same time. True, I know. I know girls like that. And girls emotionally, though, I think can't deal with it all the time. I think it's heavy on them. D-Ray Davis. The difference maker.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is it just me? Is it just me? Is this so, so good? I shouldn't have to.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angelou Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Special guest in the building, Mr. D-Ray Davis. How was it doing the show with Coco and Carrie? Was it difficult for them to put their lives out there like that? Initially, it was very difficult because everybody come from real families. They don't come like, ain't nobody broken.

Didn't nobody daddy disappeared. And people always say that where they fathers had all that. What did that family say? I mean, it's different. Once they get around me, they cool because they see it's more like family and friendship. Like I'm not around them tongue kissing at the dinner table.

Both of them sitting on my lap. Like y'all should have raised them better. Like I ain't, ain't none of that going on. It's really like, I'm, I'm, I'm really,

I mean, I'm their friend, man. I'm their friend first. And they just have it. Men messed up so much that I'm in a place like, I'm really, I mean, I'm their friend, man. I'm their friend first, and they just have it. Men messed up so much that I'm in a place now. I'm in a position, man, where it's like, it's comfortable.

I didn't know. I thought it was reality, but it's not. It's like a scripted, unscripted show, right? That show, man, come on, man. Comedians in the room, all we're going to do is talk about each other. They have to stop that. Like, we first shot it like that, sitting at a round table, and dudes was going in, man. People was, dudes wanted to fight.

Man, you know how I talk. You're brutal, though. Exactly. You go at people, I'm like, damn, they're going to fight. And I can fight. So it's different. You know what I mean? I've seen you get at, I've seen you out in Miami on the street getting at somebody.

They ready to whoop your ass sometimes. You just are brutal. They could be ready all day, but ready and prepared are two different things. The thing I like about D-Ray, you don't be trying to be funny. You just be talking. Like, I hate comedians that try to be funny. Only forces. If you ever go to the store, something at the store, right?

You go to the store. Lately, the chips is on the wall. Yeah, that's because my comedy happened on accident. I walked in the comedy club and saw it. I never saw it on TV, so I guess that had a lot to do with it. Really? Yeah, I walked in and seen a comedian on stage, a comedian named Shea Shea, and he started talking about my shirt,

and I was mad as hell. So I started yelling back, but nobody told me where the heckler was. And then I learned the next week I went back, and I was like, I want to try this. And that's how it happened. So you just went up on stage and got at it. Yeah, my uncle was the bartender, so I just talked to the dude. I was like, I want to try this. I thought I opened up with a funny rap.

That didn't go. Then I ended up doing just talking about people. Men at Large was there. I roasted the group. They were sitting there there and i was being like you calling people fat they're talking about my jokes they told me they said you need to i have a notebook they said you need to open your notebook and get some new jokes and i was like you're just mad this ain't a menu and that was it after that it was it was a wrap man it's hard is it hard in chicago though being funny i asked uh deon cole the same thing because it's like Chicago's a rough place.

Well, Deion, man, Deion is my big brother. I don't mean big brother like people. People always say my big brother wants to be successful. You know what I'm saying? Deion went to school with my brother, so I knew Deion since I was like 12 years old. I seen Deion do the Cotton Club. Deion's just a naturally funny dude, you know, worked hard on his material. As far as me, I feel like me being around him, I'm a lunchroom funny.

Well, I talk to, you know, talk to the mess in the room. I'm not great at writing and sitting, sitting around. But comedians, man, for what we, for what little opportunities comics get now, I say it's hard. Ain't no more comic view. Def Jam ain't around. Are they doing Def Jam again? I heard that later.

I hope they do it because that'd be great. But he's coming. Tony Rock is hosting it. Oh, yeah. It's all Def Digital type thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be good, man. Yeah, Tony Rock, man. Yeah, that's good. Good for Tony, man.

I was right with Tony Rock, man. No, Tony, my man, me and Tony, we always compete with each other. I mean, I'm funnier. Okay. Bottom line, any of these comedians go on stage, they got to go before me. That's just what it is. It's not going to turn out for wedding. Why are you so underrated, though? I don't think D to go before me. That's just what it is. It's not going to turn out for what it is.

Why are you so underrated, though? I don't think D-Ray underrated. I think D-Ray has been. No, they can't. Hey, man, they keep. Oh, no, that's for sure. That don't change. Right.

I don't think it's that, man. I think this kind of conversation, the way I talk now, ain't accepted in the comedy community. As rappers, you can brag. As a ballplayer, you can brag a little bit. But as comedian, you're being disrespectful and everybody funny is different. I'm like, no, go on stage, do your 10 minutes. We can go back and forth and see who lasts the longest on stage doing 10 minutes. That's just how

I love the art. I love to compete. And most comedians are self-deprecating. You're not self-deprecating. Yeah, man, because they gotta be. Most comedians ugly. Most comedians got cute after they made it. Then they handsome, but you was ugly.

Come on, man. Come on. Parents made horrible decisions, and you was forced to do comedy. Man, you are toxic, man. I just know he's toxic. She's about to call him ugly. He's going to be a person right here now.

Man, sitting next to him, man. He always do this. D-Ray Davis, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Happy holidays. Wishing you and your family the very best this holiday season from all of us here at The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

That's right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We have D-Ray Davis. You got Girl House coming. I heard that's coming in August. I have no idea when that's coming out. That's when you shoot a lot of Club. Good morning. We have D-Ray Davis. You got Girl House coming. I heard that's coming in August. I have no idea when that's coming out. You shoot a lot of movies.

That don't come out. In theaters never. Why is that though? I have no idea. Man, what you talking about? Because I go get all the money. If they want to shoot, we're going to shoot. But I tell them while we're shooting, I don't know if it's coming out.

Yeah. You did a couple episodes of Empire. You were good at Empire. Then they killed you. Yeah, they did, man. Yeah, man. I was excited to be on that show, too, because John Singleton called me, put me on there. He wanted me to do, I did his FX show, Snowfall,

and he wanted me to play, like, the main drug-dealing cat on there, and he was basically, the casting people over at Fox at the time didn't think I could play that series of characters, so he wanted to show them by putting me on Empire. Oh, dope. You were also in Chocolate City. In Chocolate City, yeah. They should have had you on stage in that.

Yeah, and show my stomach. I would have lost all my fans. See, I try to keep my situations. You know what I'm saying? I don't step outside my boundaries. I'm a shirt on sex type of guy. You leave your shirt on during sex? Shirt on socks.

Shirt socks, that's it, yeah. Now, listen, our interns did research for you, right? And I don't know what this means, but they say you've been vocal about being a gay ally. I don't know what that means, but if you said if I see two gay people fighting, would I help them? I guess I would.

I guess that was a joke they must have heard or something. I guess, yeah. Okay. I have no idea. What is gay? What ally? Am I an ally? Would I go marching for gay people?

Yeah, it says you have been vocal about your being a gay ally, there's probably gay discrimination in the community, in the comedy community. What made you be such a vocal ally for the LGBT community? I'm like, I know. Wow, all right. Well, let's get to it. What is a gay ally? No, no, no.

Allies like in the U.S. government, a friend. I would say that whatever people want to do, like I've been vocal about, you can't go on stage and people just start going up and gay bash or gay this or I can't say nothing bad about people without having something good, positive to say also on that side of it. I'm saying And that comes with you growing up. Yeah, it gotta be. I mean, when I first got to LA,

I literally thought that was a disease when I'd see it because I'm from Chicago. You don't just be like, I'd be like, oh, I was like, oh, then my building manager, Steve, let me know he ain't want nothing from me. He's like, dude,, I'd be like, oh, I was like, oh, then my building manager, Steve, let me know. He ain't want nothing from me. He's like, dude, you think just because a gay dude, look, every gay dude don't want you.

Anybody looking at you, he's letting me know that, you know, and he ended up being somebody when I was getting evicted, when I wasn't touring, he's somebody that was like, yo, talk to me about the business of owning my own buildings, my own thing. And this is conversation coming from a man who I would, yo, talk to me about the business of owning my own, my own buildings, my own thing. And this is conversation coming from a man who I would never even let talk to me judging

by how I was raised and how, you know, because we was little. You call somebody gay, you fought right away. And the bad part is some of the kids you call gay and really was, but they was ashamed to say they was. So you're a gay ally. I would say, yeah, I would say that. I mean, you know, it's funny because you said you come from Chicago. It was new to you when you saw it in L.A.

That's how I feel about transgender women. I feel that same way. And that's another new. But, you know, it's still. And right now, I don't know how to answer that yet because I haven't, I don't want to say been around. I have a, now I don't want to say I have an issue with it because that would take me. Does that take me against what I was saying earlier? No, because I got an issue with it too.

Okay. I don't, I want to know, man. It got to be different. Like, because you go to some of these clubs in New York, I want to know, man. It got to be different. Because you go to some of these clubs in New York, and it be the glass, this dude crossing me. Well, that's because that person's a transgender. It doesn't mean they want you.

True, true. But I think going to the bathroom is your sacred place. But any decision you make in life, and I mean this, any decision you make from, let's say y'all artists in here, and I mean that realistically. Y'all DJs, y y'all are artists, y'all are on the radio. When you make a decision like today, you decide to wear your hair like that, the attention you get from wearing your hair like that is different than when you come in if you feel a little different.

So we should accept the attention we're asking for wherever we're dressing, however we're looking. Like if I come out, I got my hoodie on, and I see four white people across the street, I ask for this attention. With my hoodie on, all dark clothes, middle of the night, you have to, your environment is important to the decision-making. But what if you're coming from the gym with a hoodie on at night?

True, too, but you can't not. You gotta be aware. You gotta be aware at all times. That's all I mean. That's all I mean. Of other people's prejudices. Yeah, not even just the prejudices of what you're doing.

You gotta be aware of how you're being perceived. Right, that's a prejudice. Like, people look at you and they have a certain... Like Amber Rose is the slut. Well, I think the name is strength in the name of how you're being perceived. Right. That's a part. Like people look at you and they have a certain. Like Amber Rose is the slut. Well, I think the name is strength in the name and what you're trying to do. But I think it's other ways to present it. But it also wasn't something she invented. It was something that's been going on before that.

True. So I think just the fact that it was Amber Rose that did it. That's what made it. Yeah. But a lot of people. But it brought a lot more attention to it, too, at the same time. True. I just think the attention that you make.

And she goes, why are you bring my name up? Whatever you bring in, whatever you act, whatever you have around you, me with the two girlfriends, I walked into a conversation about two girlfriends. Right. You know what I'm saying? And somebody somewhere going, ugh, he got two girlfriends. What is this world coming to? And it's a transgender person going, I only got one person I love.

But what's wrong with D-Ray? Exactly. And Joking Off is coming back. Joking Off coming back, 20 episodes. And you're on tour right now. On tour, Funniest Fact Tour, getting ready to shoot another special, finally. The Funniest Fat Tour. Funniest Fact, man. Oh, Fact.

Say it right for me again. Funny as Fact. Man, she can speak good, too. D-Ray Davis, we appreciate you joining us. Thank y'all, as usual. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's up, y'all? It's Angela Yee wishing you and your family the very best this holiday season from all

of us here at the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Mr. Sweet P*** Saturday. You can't say that.

Poon Poon. We say Poon Poon. You know what we talking about. All right. They can bleep it. There you go. They can bleep it. I can't say it like you know it.

All right. So how? You got to put the swag on it. Say it. Me? Say it. P***. P***.

He was practicing that. That sounded good to me. I don't know about y'all. That sounded good to me. Good morning, that. That's how good to me. I don't know about y'all. That's how good to me. Flies his head morning, sir. What's up, big dog? Now, do you feel like you got a bigger buzz now because of social media than you ever did because of the music? I don't know.

I think when the numbers come out, I'll be able to tell you. Yeah. So until that happens, I don't really know. Like I always say, I don't get caught up in what ain't real for real. Like it's about translating and making all that work for you so until the numbers come out when the next album come out i'll tell you the buzz is bigger or not it feel bigger or do you feel like when you in the airport people feel like they could just run up on you and say anything and do anything now that's the aura i feel like that's what make my situation unique it's a personal

connection between me and the people that support me, so it's kind of like a no-holds-barred situation with me. Sometimes I'm an over accessible guy. Now that color money situation, that ain't stop your interaction with the fans? Like, yeah, I don't want y'all that close to me no more now. When you say color money, break it down to me. When you was on the stage

and the dude grabbed you or whatever? You know what? I guess it's probably my first time with the story. That story, that was one of them situations that, for me, a million times, it'll probably happen to me a million times because it was never a situation. Came on stage and walked past everybody and grabbed. You brought them up. Yeah.

I was surfing through the crowd. I was on top of security shoulders, and they was mushing the dude, and they kind of ended up choking him out. So I kind of seen what the altercation was going on. So when I got on stage, I stopped the show, and I told them to go get dude. Like, they kicked him out of the club. So I said, man, bring dude back in.

He can stand on the stage with me. Like, that's one of my policies. When I'm performing, I don't let nobody get kicked out of the club. So when he came on stage, security was like, you want him to come up and holler at you? I said, yeah, come on. He can stand back in there drinking a liquor with me. So when he came up there, he was just talking like, man, I love you. You know, if I had to get kicked out behind you, bro, I don't care. I love you. I just want to come up holler at you i said yeah come on he was standing back in there drinking the liquor with me so when he came up there he was just talking like man i love you

you know if i had to get kicked out behind you bro i don't care i love you i just want to touch your hand so i was like cool so we were talking i said all right man listen let's stand back there and drink the liquor and you know i'd save you from getting kicked out the club so at that point somebody ended up saying um plies i love you i ended up looking off when i looked off i seen i felt somebody grab me when he grabbed me i ain't knowing if he picking me up because he love me or if he picking me up because we ain't have no friction. It wasn't like me and dude was beefing. So when he picked me up, when he picked me up, I just snapped up.

At this point, it wasn't even about trying to figure out why he was picking me up. So when he picked me up, I felt myself going off stage. When I felt myself going off stage, I just turned. When I turned, I fell on top of him. His back hit the rail., his back hit the rail. When his back hit the rail, I just took off. At that point, it was just, bum-bum-bum-bum. I just caught him with a quick sick, about 4'5". And I always tell

people, Charlamagne, just for the record straight, how much you weigh? I'm like 180. Yeah, you can't whoop me. Anything under 200 can't whoop you. I tell people, anything under 200, I'm whooping anything with these, I'm whooping anything under 200. If you're over 200, we got to handle it a little different. So that situation is really how it happened.

But it's one of them situations with me when I look back at it, it would have happened to me a million times. And I kind of go through that with my brother right now. That's what I'm saying. I know Gates got to be like, bro, stop letting these boys get on this stage and get close to you. Yeah, but it's kind of your philosophy. I kind of hear you talk about it and, you know,

you don't really trust us too much. I don about it and, you know, you don't really trust us too much. I don't trust no n***a. You don't really trust us too much. Based off experience. But I still do it. He's the only artist

that I see that when he performs, and I've been in a couple clubs with him, he goes in the crowd. It doesn't matter what hood it is, where it's at,

he goes in the crowd with his jewelry on, he performs, he interacts with the people. But to be clear, it's about a system. Like, I think I've seen the Pope here.

Somebody could've shot at him. He couldn't stop that. Right? You know, somebody could shot at him. Now, when it's shooting at him, it's about what happens

after that. So I feel like I got a system in place for both of them now, but at the end of the day, that was just one of them ones. It was a crap shoot. Did you have to find

some security guards after that? Nah, and that was crazy because when people said it, my security had just went to jail on our way to the show. I ended up going to that show with one person with me. We got stopped right outside of Tallahassee the same night. So I knew all this was meant to happen.

We actually almost didn't make the show in Tallahassee. And my security went to jail. I still ended up making it to the venue. And everybody who knows Tallahassee, the Coliseum, they got glad they did enough. Like, them boys really get it down. But I put them in a bad situation because they had to kick dude out. I'm kind of making them go against their policy, bringing them back in, showing love.

It was just kind of one of them situations. So I put them in a bad situation, really. And it has to be difficult, too, because you've gone through situations with lawsuits. Right. And you never know what could happen. Somebody decides to sue. It's not even your fault. You just was there. But it And you never know what could happen. Somebody decides to sue. It's not even your fault. You just was there.

But it happened how it was supposed to happen. Because I know if I had my people, I probably wouldn't even... Boy been dead. Yeah, yeah. And people ask me what I regret about that situation. If I could change something, what it would be. Because I ain't killing him.

Like, that's my policy. Damn it, Blas. If I had him... No, that's the only thing I would change about it. I ain't killing him. Why you gonna kill a man, Blas? That's policy. Yeah.

You can ask people around me. That's policy. If we get into something, they don't die. Everybody get fired. What are you talking about? I don't think you should be spreading that message. No, if you're going to work for me, that's what policy is. Yeah.

If we get into something, if he don't die, everybody fired. I don't think anybody should have died. Who don't think everybody should die? Who don't? Who don't think that? You don't think that? No.. Who don't think everybody should have died? Who don't think that? You don't think that? No. Well, that's how you roll. That ain't how I roll.

Let me ask you about Kirk Franklin. Let's give him some positivity. What's up? Did you ever meet Kirk Franklin? I ain't met Kirk yet. Yeah, I seen when he was in France. You got him in trouble. Not really.

You asked him to come to the strip club. Kirk tried to kind of, I heard Kirk kind of backtracked on what he said. He told me he thought I was talking about something else or something. I was talking about King of Diamonds. He knew what King of Diamonds was. I was talking about Spades. I was talking about Spades. Kirk thought I was talking about cutting.

The big joker, the little joker. I was talking about King of Diamonds. I was talking about... Yeah, I felt like it was a good... People always told me about me and him looked alike, and we favorable and all that. So, you know, I always was a fan of what it was that he did i ain't never got into the gospel music thing but i thought it was a good offer you never shot nobody to stomp

oh yeah yeah that's the dance that's the thing you did no no i ain't never did that now if he if he did go to king of diamonds would you go to church with him? Absolutely. He's a man of his word. I'll go with her. Okay. Absolutely. Now, we all want to know, is Angela Yee the inspiration for Sweet Saturday? Yee for Sweet Saturday. I hope not, because some of them girls seem nasty that you be talking about.

So let's hope. No, you know what? And that's not the inspiration. Because you know the word on the street is you and Angela was a couple or is a couple or something. You know what, with Yee, people don't really understand. I always told her if I ever came to the show, I was going to say that. Yee just dope to me. She knows she dope to me.

She dope to me just in a lot of ways. But I feel like for me, just to set the record straight, I'm infatuated with hardworking women. I've always been infatuated with that. So when I see it, I bring it around me because I got on a whole otherher vibe probably some months ago. And I just love being around women now. Would you like to be around before?

No, no, no, no. It's just hanging out with people. Oh, God. I can probably explain this because, you know, we do talk all the time. Like, that is my people. Like, if something happened, I'll talk to him for advice. He's a very... He was the only, what I call an industry

friend slash associate that I had for a long time. She got you drinking Hennessy, bro. You a Remy man. I'm a VSOP man. But let me just explain what he's saying. He don't really go out and socialize for fun unless he's getting paid. But I would be like...

Nah, come on, Emory, man. I would be like... But I, Emory, man. But you ain't going out unless you're getting paid. But I'll hit him up and be like, come on, let's go have a drink. I used to hate you. I'm going to tell you that. I used to hate you. Did you want to kill me? No, no, no, I used to hate you.

You ain't dying. I used to hate you. When I first... When she was at... When you was working for her. I used to be like, damn, she knows. Like, when I used to be listening to her on the radio, and they used to try to take me over there. I was like, bro, I ain't going over there, man.

That girl knows. Like, that's all she want to do is know people's business. So when I finally went over there and I met her, and they ended up playing the clip we did. They ended up playing that against me in court. That's not my fault. Really? No, what clip? You and Gates.

Yeah, my brother was home then from prison. But they played that video again. They played that video and Superstar J video. Gates. Yeah, my brother was home then from prison. But they played that video again. They played that video and Superstar J video. Yeah. Yeah, when I went to court. So when you tweeted, that little got some power, that wasn't about you? No, that wasn't about me. You guys about the radio station?

No. It got power with you? Yeah. I mean. You said it got me, man. So y'all not so it's never. You about to ask, you do it got to ask. You do. I got power. I got power.

I don't talk to you about it. Well, why? You're talking to me about it. The rumor is you the one in it. Oh, no, man. Me and my. That's that's that's top notch, though. Like that's on a whole nother level, whole nother level of respect for us.

So I don't think a lot of people understand it. Well, people who understand me understand. But if you wanted a wife, you would be the prototype. You dope. You got all the clothes. Yeah. You know, she work it. But if you wanted a wife, you would be the prototype. You dope. You got all the qualities. Yeah. She work hard. She make really, really good money. That's probably... I make good money. No, no, no. You ain't let me finish. She ain't let me finish.

She ain't let me finish. You're never going to work again. That's probably why, you know, I don't know if you got to do it or not, but that's probably why she ain't got to do it because she ain't finna play the BS game. Alright, we got more with Plyos when we come back dude or not, but that's probably why she ain't got a dude, because she ain't finna play the BS game, so. Yeah. All right, we got more with Ply's when we come back.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's up, y'all? It's Angela Yee wishing you and your family the very best this holiday season from all of us here at The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. That's right. We are The Breakfast Club. We have

Ply's in the building. Now, I remember telling you that I'm glad that you started doing all of those Instagram videos because you know, now people can see that you're really funny and that's why I was glad that he started showing his personality more and I tried to get him to go out and change. He's been hating on you a little too, Ply. Now, when girls be coming in here talking about Ply's so

funny, man, he ain't that funny. Yeah, right. His brother funnier. Yeah. You always. Yeah, right. His brother funnier. Yeah. You supposed to say that, though. That's my, that's my, that's my, whoa, she supposed to say that? It's cool she get that fast.

I ain't tripping. No, but I do feel like, you know, I feel like people didn't know a lot about your personality and that really helped. And then. But I ain't never really, I never cared to, it wasn't even about showing that side of me. My brother kind of massaged me into that situation.

I was just Twitter. That's all I knew. He was like, bro, I need you to get on IG. It's the same thing as Twitter. Just record what you're saying. So I'm like, bro, I ain't going to keep a damn camera in my face all day. So when he kind of massaged me into the situation and I started doing it, it's something that people enjoy.

But for me, I always tell people, when people run up to me with it, I never looked at myself as being humorous. I just kind of say what I want to say and I keep moving. It's kind of just real Florida, though. I just kind of say what it is. And I also think that people also think that you know everything that's going on, like on social media. And just a couple examples, like Sometimes you just have no idea.

Chris Brown got mad because he thought she was throwing subliminals at him. So I called him and I was like, yo, what's going on? He was like, I didn't even know what he was talking about. That was crazy. Nothing that he said. I don't really do interviews like that too much, but that situation was kind of

a disappointing situation with me, with CB, because I like CB. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? I think Dawg was super, super dope, so I always liked him, so that whole situation transpired. That caught me off guard. That kind of put me back into, I can't be effed up with these dudes, because if you felt

like that, find somebody around me and holler at me. But you weren't even who I was thinking about. Like, that was nothing about nothing. And then for it to happen kind of how it happened. That was probably one of the top three things in the game that kind of disappointed me. Because I really, really, really F with dude. What was the other two? I ain't. No, I'm going to tell you.

Well, let me guess. The thing with Young Thug, right? You posted his daughter. That ain't disappointing me. But I just want to clear something up about that, too, because I had an argument with somebody about this. There you go, sticking up for your man. There you go, ye.

There you go, ye. There you go, ye. There you go, ye. There you go, ye. There you go, ye. There you go, ye. There you go, ye. Keep doing it.

There you go. There you go, ye. Keep doing it. It's not short for bitch. It's not meant to be disrespectful. It's kind of like... I use bitch, and I feel like I'm the best person to ask. I don't want to came up with it.

I use it when I don't want to curse. And I use it in place of what people would call profanity. So you're using the place of the word bitch? No, no, no, no. No, period. And first of all, man, like, everybody, well, people who know how I'm rocking, kids are a sensitive issue to me. Like, I don't, that ain't... And when

it come to that, I'll just say this and we can keep it moving, but them kind of situations don't disappoint me. I understand the game. When you got cats who ain't popping, trying to get popping, they just say what they want to say. Dog ain't popping. Dog popping now. Oh, okay.

He popping all day. What he did? 10,000, 14,000 records for a week? Yeah, but he got the street buzz, though. That's popping? Nah, nah, nah, but he got the street buzz. You even be talking about 14,000 records for a week? Yeah, but he got the street buzz, though. That's popping? Nah, nah, nah. But he got the street buzz. Could you even be talking about 10,000 records

for a week? Nah, but he got the street buzz. I looked at you highly of that. I thought you had most of it. No, but I don't

listen to him. He got a top five record. His record is moving. But I thought y'all squashed it out there. It never started with me. Slap him on sight or something.

But I thought y'all squashed it. It never started with me. And I told you, you don't or something. But I thought y'all squashed. It never started with me. And I told you, you don't go back and forth with little dudes. You just don't do it. So we can keep this moving. Does it scare you a little bit, though, because he got a skirt on, but then he talking about the chop action?

That's a little unorthodox. Look at me. I don't play with little dudes, man. Yeah. Period. One thing I can say about Plaz is he has opened up. Because when he was first in the industry, he was quiet. He wouldn't talk to nobody.

He talks to people now. But it was kind of where I was from. It was like being from Fort Myers, that's how it is. It ain't disrespect if I don't speak to you. If I don't speak to you, I just don't know you. So if I don't know you, I just keep it moving. And I found out in this game, some people take it disrespectful, especially if they somebody of power and you walk past them and don't speak to them.

But where I'm from, if I ain't know you, I just didn't speak to you. Now, when you got a girl, Plies, and you on Instagram talking that talk and about how good the game is, do girls get upset? Matter of fact? Hold on. Do you get upset when I be talking that talk on the gram? I never get upset at him. Hey, Solomon, I don't even know if you understand, but this ain't going nowhere. You're doing a terrible job.

I just see you more important than today. Today, this is it. Hey, Solomon. Hey, Solomon. This is it. Solomon. This is it. Hey, Solomon. This is a C at best. This is a C at a... Hey, Solomon. Hey, Solomon. This is a see-at-best. This is a see-at-best right now, Solomon.

And I swear, I done seen you better than this. They huddled up. They huddled up. This ain't good. They huddled up. They got the game planned out. Hey, this ain't good today, Solomon. I swear, you should be more... Nah, he ain't good today.

He all bought it. Let me ask a real question. Uh-oh. Okay, go ahead. Yo, Gotti. Yeah. Now, I saw't good today. Let me ask a real question. Uh-oh. Okay, go ahead. Yo, Gotti. Yeah. Now, I saw before y'all didn't really get along. He has some issues with you.

Nah, that wasn't true. Why y'all didn't get along? He did say something about you in a song, and I saw you posted his album, shouted him out. Y'all did a song together, and people was like, oh, but he said this about you. How are you going to post it? Nah, it wasn't. Gotti, I think, I forgot what mixtape that was. It was a couple of his projects ago. But he said something about you. How are you going to post it? No, it wasn't. I think I forgot what mixtape that was.

It was a couple of his projects ago. But he said something that people didn't know which way to take it. It ain't no deal to go left or go right. But I think he did a couple of interviews, and he let people know exactly what it was that he meant by. I mean, you got to follow what the person who wrote it said. So, you know, that situation was an easy one for me. Like, God had probably one of the three at most, but I'd say probably top two.

I just respect what the all do. Did you ever feel like you could settle down? That ain't hard for me. Most street cats that cheat, if you got five women, you're just trying to make one good woman. You might got one. I'm trying to take all them five and make one. Yeah, just one good woman. But if you find one good woman that got all them qualities, it's easy.

So it's just about, for me, it's just about finding a person that possesses all the things it is that I really stand on. So what's the qualities? For the love applies. What's the qualities? What's your qualities? He was supposed to have a reality show. Really? And you probably shut it down.

Hayden. No. He was going to be on it. You were going to be on it. Yeah, I'd be the host. Yeah, absolutely. I would vet all these girls out. Man, that's dope, man.

See, that's the kind of girl you need. You need a madam. A girl that's going to be your man, girl. You can control all the hoes. Hey, M-Van. He's on the C-level today. He's not good today. You ain't on fire today, Sean.

He's drowning, man. He's drowning over there. Hey, get the green ball, man. Get the green ball, girl. You ain't on fire today. What are the qualities? I think I'm simple, man. He drowning over there. Hey, get the green ball, man. Get the green ball, girl. You ain't on fire today. What are the qualities? I think I'm simple, though. Like, I ain't really on the dime.

Like, I ain't got to be kicking it with the dime. What do you mean? She don't got to be a dime? No, not me. Like a 6'7"? A 6'7"? But she got the qualities. Me, personally, I'm on a geisha.

A what? A geisha. What is that? You want somebody that just works for you? My sisters. I love my sisters. I don't know if it's such a thing as a geisha sister. It might be a geisha sister.

You're talking about Japanese. He's talking about like a geisha. Like memoirs of a geisha. Put it up. Geisha? Yeah, geisha. I can't spell it. You don't know how to spell it.

You don't know how to spell it. Ready, sound the name. G-A-Y. Hold on now. Slow down. Hold on. Pull it up. I want a geisha. You got to have a geisha. I want either one a now. Slow down. Hold on. Pull it up. I want a geisha.

You got to have a geisha. I either want a geisha or you got to have a geisha quality. G-A-Y what? It's not G-A-Y, man. What is it? She lying to you. Geisha. No.

She got you. Bingo. G-E-I-S-H-A. It's G-E-I, man. Not no G-A-Y. What is a geisha? It's a geisha who acts as hostesses and whose skills include performing various acts. Yeah. So you want to perform it? You want to perform it. I'm a parter and whose skills include performing various acts. Yeah.

So you want to perform? I'm a parter. You either want a geisha or you got to have a geisha quality. And what's that? I need a submissive woman. Did you ever see memoirs of a geisha? What geishas have you ever come into contact with? I didn't.

I just, I just. So it's just an idea in your head of somebody in a robe. Yeah. And you need a submissive woman. I need a submissive woman. What's your definition of submissive? Because a lot of girls don't like that term. Yeah, they don't like that.

I don't need you to be the yes woman. Like, I don't need that to happen. I need you to understand how hard I really work. Yeah. I need that to happen. I don't need you to think that, you know, we're just living like this and. Right. That's what you and Angelina would bump heads right there.

Oh, I already told you. Because she ain't going to be submissive. Nope. See, he's been tampered with. like this and that's what you and Angela you would bump heads right now nope see even he been tampered with see any time you got another nationality in you if you like a white girl yeah but you act black and all that, you've been tampered with. When you're tampered with, it's a whole nother ballgame. You just agree with him. You don't even know.

Yeah, you've been tampered with. I know what you mean. What does he mean? That you've been tampered with. Yeah, you... What you talking about? Yeah, you... Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Plaz is in the building. Now, Charlamagne, stop. You're trying to make them a couple all morning long. This clock is ticking. We're going to have this wedding, or we're not going to

have this wedding between Ply's and Angela Yee. I'm going to do you like Charlamagne did us. Okay? Invite him two days before the wedding. Hey, I'll be either way. Charlamagne came in here with an invite. Oh, Charlamagne got married? You're damn right. He handed me an invite two days before the wedding and said,

don't tell nobody. I didn't know Charlamagne had a title. He said, don't tell nobody. I feel it. It wasn't two days. It was like a week.

It was like next week. I'll be honest with you, you don't truly feel successful until you got you a family. Right. Until you got you a woman and some kids and it's all in the house.

You really feel accomplished when you got that. You can propose right here, right now. What you talking about? You can propose right here, right now. Man, you a C-.

You a C-, man. You just drop out the race, man. This is getting unbearable. Are you going to do a Ritz-Carlton remix? Yep. Who's on it? Because it seems like the hook should be ran off on the plug. You know, that should be the hook.

I want to do a situation where it bring, like you said, athletes and everybody who was a part. I think that's what made this situation so big, man, is that everybody embraced the situation. And people was asking me all the time, like, what you really mean by ran off on the plug? And I said, it's just, it's a celebration. It's when you outdo somebody.

Like, the example I use is, you know, me and you can be slide boxing. If I get the best of you, I just, you know, I just ran off on the plug. Oh, I thought that the plug fronted you some work and you hauled that. Nah. That too, though. I was like, I don't know if this plug's going to let that happen twice. And I think that's what took the situation so big and took it so viral. It could be anything to you.

Yeah. It could be we set a guy up and robbed him in his room and ran. Nah. Really? You see what I mean? So listen, is it hard? You say you keep a girl in your corner. Do you know how to separate the business

from the pleasure? Sometimes it's just cool to be business with them. I don't trust nobody, so Charlamagne and I, I'm all throw it off when it comes to that. If I meet you in the club, I ain't looking at how bad you is. I ain't looking at how fine you is or how cute you is. I'm thinking about

if this go wrong. I'm thinking about child support. I'm thinking about I be hearing the crazy stories. $35,000, $20,000 a month and all that. So I'm just paranoid,

really, for real, for real. So I enjoy women. I enjoy how women kick it. You can be in the club with a chick, her and three chicks over there dancing together and I be like, oh, okay. So that's your partner in the club with a chick, her and three chicks over there dancing together, and I'd be like, oh, okay.

So that's your partner. They're like, no, I just met them. So I just like the whole camaraderie about women, so. Does a girl have to have a fat ass for you to? Nah, I ain't. Well, listen, you and Angelina just start playing with each other. Hey, listen. Hey, listen, man.

Why you doing that? Listen, man, come on, man. You just keep describing Angelina from what I. But you know what I done figured out? You know what I done figured out, you? Yes, listen. Why you so interested, man? Come on, man. You just keep describing Angela Yee from what I... But you know what I done figured out? You know what I done figured out, Yee? Yes, sir. You know a lot about Angela Yee. I work with her every day for five years.

No, there ain't nobody no work. There ain't no work. You ain't seen nobody ever yet. I don't even like her too much. Now you're getting back into your form, man. You're getting back into your form. Yeah, you're C+. No, you're back to your form. I can getting back into your form. Yeah, you're C+. You're back to your form.

I can't let you get out of here without explaining these pictures now. What pictures are those? Oh, yeah, right. Oh, Angelina, your pictures. Oh. We was at the office. What was it? It was a revolt.

It was a revolt weekend. It was a revolt music conference. A revolt music conference picture. Yeah, we went to the studio. We went to the office. And the other picture, that was... I was mad for that. Yeah, she was mad.

She posted that picture. That picture was on her IG. He texted me and told me to take it down. But he texted me and told me, he said, yo, you should take that down. That's not appropriate. And then he posted it. So you just listened to random? Oh, now he's not random. That's your boy. Now listen.

You got the juice. Now she kind of remixed that one. She told half of the truth. She remixed that. But me and her was talking. Now, I ain't just randomly call you and say, hey, take that down. Yeah. Me and you was talking.

And I said, well, you got out there on that last post. She was like, I ain't nothing. I ain't look down. I said, man, come on. I said, you already know how your Boston Mills at work. She was like, you think I should take it down? I said, hey, man, it's on you. But you trying to go a whole other way now.

But I had reposted that picture. So I think a lot of people who didn't know that she had posted it. I took it down, so they didn't see it on my timeline. They thought it just was a personal picture to me, but she had already posted that picture. So basically you and you just never had sex, is what you're saying? Nah, man. Ran off on the plug.

Damn, you ran off on the plug? Yeah, you left her. Hold on. Yeah, I know you ain't leaving with her. Why? That's what happened. No, no, no. Damn, you.

That's what happened, you. man. That's what happened, ye? No, but listen, honestly, this is like my people. I talk to him all the time. Listen, he'll know

anytime something happens, who's the first person to call you? Before I answer that question, I don't like how you really said

that. She left you hanging, bro. We just heard a story about that this morning. Our homeboy was at a girl's house.

Girl told him he gotta go, and the boy was like, man, you ain't gonna let let me eat the ball, Lee? He smoked up all his weed. Yeah, smoked up all his weed. That's all he wanted to do. Drank his liquor.

Yeah, that's all he wanted to do. That's it. What you been at all for him? You ever been in that situation before? No, I ain't been in that. He might run off on her. I get horny easy, man. I ain't.

That's one of my weaknesses, man. What? I don't know what's wrong with me. That's all our weakness. No, I just, it's just, I be next level to those y my weaknesses, man. I don't know what's wrong with me. That's all our weakness. No, I just, it just, I be next level to those y'all, man. It's that Remy. I don't know why, but that Remy turned me to a whore. What are you doing to that mic?

Every time, huh? What are you doing to the mic? He getting horny. You see right there, he drinking on that Henny. He's ready to go. It be something about that horn, boy. That horn would be on a whole other level. We got a mattress in the back.

We got the office in the back. We got the office in the back. We do. And listen, I came here last night with Clue. And I'm glad y'all got the hour on here today, boy. We was in here last night. I said, the Brasswood Club must have been wrestling in here or something. It was musky. It was the whole room.

I said, man. So, Calvin was telling me about the hour one on the AC. They cut the hour. I said, man, you got to get me out of here. The Bratford Club must have... I'm like, bruh, you're terrible, man. You need to interview outside or something. I said, the Bratford Club must have been wrestling in here. It was the worst, man.

I'm glad the owl didn't hurt a day, though. Last night was terrible. I can't believe that our intern really put up these pictures of us. Did you know how many people wanted to know? Yeah. But albums, we're saying right now, some of them.

Some of the time. Yeah, we can push it up. The label, they telling me to tell them when I'm ready, so I'm just trying to make sure. We got the follow-up situation. I think my brother feel like it's probably like my biggest record

that I done did. You got a feature on it? Well, we actually got two records, one by myself, one with a feature. But this record here, this is a people's record. This whole, you know,

ran off on the plug twice. And I want to make sure I leave this record out here as long as I can leave it out here because they made the situation what it is. We appreciate you joining us. I appreciate y'all. We ain't getting no information.

Plies and Yeet unhuddled up before the end of the season. You was a C today. You was a C today. Plies and Yeet ain't having sex. They're end of the day. You was a C. You was a C. You was a C today. You was a C today. Plies and Yeet ain't having sex. They're not in a relationship. They're just friends. All right.

Well, it's Plies. It's the Breakfast Club. Double salute. Double salute. Get with the good hair. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny.

Charlamagne the Devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Donkey of the Day goes to Shad Moss. Yes, I give Shad Moss a hard time. And Shad Moss has won in life and will continue to win. But boy, was this funny to me. Now, live TV is no joke.

Let's be clear about that. Live TV is no joke. The pressure of live TV is a beast. And I'm sure I will mess up on live TV one day and I will get roasted for it. But Bow Wow, this is your turn. I mean, Shad Moss. Pay that man his respect and call him Shad Moss. Okay, Shad Moss was hosting the CBS pre-show at the 2016 grammy awards

and either shad moss don't know don't show or literally didn't care what time it was because he had one job one and that was the throw to the start of the grammys when the clock struck zero they had the little counter in the corner okay but that's not what shad moss paid attention to i don't know what he was paying attention to. Shad Moss started the show when there was well over 90 seconds on the clock. And then Shad realized that the cameras were still rolling, so he had to improvise. Now, let me tell you something about live TV. The worst thing in the world on live TV is when you're by yourself and the producer says, Scratch.

Improvise. We need more time. Okay? Some people just not get on the spot like that. Bow Wow tried, but I guess that pressure was getting to him. So then he tried to start the show again with a whole minute left on the clock.

60 seconds. But it probably felt like hours for Bow Wow. Bow Wow then tried to start the show again for a third time, but he did it with 30 seconds left on the clock. I'm not doing this no justice. Let's hear it. The 50th Annual Grammy Awards are getting ready to start. You hear the band playing?

You want to dance a little bit? Don't be nervous. This is live TV. This is live TV. Oh, man. I'm getting lost. I'm getting lost. What's up? He's driving. Oh, man. I'm getting lost. I'm getting lost. What's the time?

He's driving. He's driving. Wrong again. I'm going to dance all the way back to that. That's what I'm going to do. That's it, boy. That's it. It's all the way.

My man, man, El Cujet is going to take this stage. And it's almost about that time. Right about now. Wrong again. This is amazing. Yes, that was amazing for all the wrong reasons, okay? When you hear someone say, woo! When you hear them say, woo! repeatedly, that's a cry for help on live TV, okay? Shad had nothing to say. He wanted out that situation. And Shad Moss did what every black man does when they're under pressure.

When all else fails, dance. Dance, boy, dance. I'm getting lost. I'm getting lost. It's like when you're boxing. Three minutes seems like it's a short amount of time, but when you're in that ring, it's woo! Bow Wow, you are absolutely right. You were lost, okay?

The funniest part was when the producers just had enough of you after the third time and threw to Kevin Frazier. You know why they threw to Kevin Frazier? Because Kevin Frazier has a concept of time. Because Kevin Frazier knows that the show begins when the countdown is over, when the clock strikes zero. Not at 90 seconds, not at 60 seconds, not at 30. Zero! Don't worry, Shad Moss. It happens to the best of us. Hold on me. I need a one

dance. Got a Hennessy in my hand. One more time before I go. I hope I was taken. Hold on me. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Pharrell is in the building. And Pharrell, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Pharrell is in the building.

And Pharrell walked in and said, thank you for having me. I was like, thank you so much for coming. We've never had Pharrell up here before. You do realize most rich people, like really rich people, are like the most humble. The ones I've come across. Well, I'm grateful. You can't deny you're rich. Pharrell, stop it. Nah, you know what?

Listen, I'm grateful, man. Seriously. You know, we get an opportunity to talk about the film. And you guys have been, like, so supportive of, like, my career all these years. So, you know, I'm always. We're going to get to the film. We need to get to your diet tips first. Okay?

Okay. I need to know why the hell you have not aged in 20 plus years. How much water do you drink a day? Matter of fact, what did you have for breakfast? Let's start there. You know what? This week is not so good because

man, why am I talking about this? Because we want to know why you're not aging. It has nothing to do with it. It's just, you know, lots of water. My mom and my dad, you know, I really do believe in like exfoliating though. I do. I believe in that too. I believe in that. I got some good exfoliation stuff at the though. I do. I go to the dermatologist.

I believe in that. I got some good exfoliation stuff at the house. Yeah, when I was much younger, like all the model girls used to talk about that a lot.

Have you seen the meme that showed you from like 15 years ago to now? It's hilarious. And even your hairline, bro. You seem a little jealous. I'm not jealous.

I just want to know. Share the secrets, my brother. The hairline is definitely her You seem a little jealous. I'm not jealous. I just want to know. Share the secrets, my brother. The hairline is definitely hereditary. I don't think there was... No one can help your hairline. Yeah. Are you vegan? You're not vegan, are you?

It was so quick. It was so quick. You're not vegan, are you? Nah. Okay. No, sir. That's short-ribbed. Yeah.

It has to happen every once in a while. You are from Virginia. Yes, sir. Yeah. So what's the film? Hidden Figures. I'm excited for this movie. Oh, thank you.

Three African-American female protagonists, right? Not talking about divorces or consoling each other or like burning up the Range Rovers. Or getting beat by their husband. You know, none of that. Although I like those movies too sometimes. Look, love. Waiting to Exit was a great movie. Listen, listen, with love, with love.

But these were three female African-American protagonists who were scientists, engineers, mathematicians, technologically advanced. So that blew my mind. It involved NASA. It involved space, two subjects I was obsessed with since I was a child. And then like it happened where I'm from, Hampton Roads, Virginia, in the 1960s. So how could we not be a part of it?

What I love about it is a story that most people have never heard before. Yeah. I mean, there, listen, Catherine was a mathematics savant and it was her math that enabled john glenn to make it in his orbit around the earth uh in five hours three rotations around the earth like that's unbelievable and that was her math one degree off one meaning one decimal off and he would have went out into the continuum of space forever or coming back in he would have burnt up and not made it through the go no go so the idea that we get to participate in this story and telling this story and i'm and i'm telling you guys like if you see the film it will make you feel better you'll be upset that you didn't know the story um but that's what movies are for though because a lot of people don't read as much as they

should yeah and if we don't introduce these stories to especially the youth, they'll probably never know. Yeah. Well, their stories were like muted because they were victims of the circumstances and the era. You know, being African-American, we would get our just due in terms of our accolades. But we weren't really necessarily we didn't really collect on them like that. You think it was by design that they didn't put people of color in those positions, like in front of the camera, because it would kind of maybe encourage kids to want to do that? I just don't think it was a part of the American narrative at that time.

And women. So women had it twice as hard. That's why this is perfect timing, by the way, for a movie like this right now. Yeah. Because there's so much. American women. Yeah. Everything that's been going on lately in

particular yeah well there's a lot of gender bias and there's still racial bias like it's it's it's severe to me it's crazier than it's ever been because there was no internet in the 60s right now it's like really undeniable it's scary though because you don't know how much of it is real and how much of it is false so you think about about your everyday life, like you interact with different types of people all the time. I don't experience overt racism. I don't think I've ever

experienced overt racism. Probably I'm sure I experienced it covertly but never overtly. Well, because we're on the coast, right? Yeah, yeah. In the middle of the country.

Like, it's real. But think about even in the music business. Yeah. It goes on so much. Yeah. You know, I think I feel it all the time.

You never felt it for real. All them hits you was making? Well, look, I don't have to call you the N-word to be racist. It's a much deeper conversation, right? We work in a business where it is okay to own other people's masters. That's insane. I mean, that's like you owning my id and telling me when i can and can't cross the street and when i can eat and you know when i should pay my taxes

that's the business that we that we're in in the music industry that will soon change by the way everybody should own their masters if major labels want to do deals with artists to partner with them great partner with me but don't own me. You know those contracts they tell you that they want to own the master and then every copy thereof is a slave. It's real.

It's in the contracts. That needs to change, but we're here to talk about Hidden Figures. I always feel like you was using your music to get to space though. And what I mean by that is that was just like an outlet for you to do bigger things and present bigger stories like this. Oh, well, thank you. Yeah, although I will not be going to space.

I was going to ask you that. You wouldn't go to space? You, Pharrell? Come on, stop. Man. Have you ever watched the Science Channel? Yeah, all the time. Man, the pixelation is amazing. Listen, I am intrigued by UFOs.

I'm obsessed with them. Everybody in this room tells me I'm crazy because I believe in extraterrestrials. Listen, I am intrigued by UFOs. I'm obsessed with them. Everybody in this room tells me I'm crazy because I believe in extraterrestrials. Oh, yeah. Well, they're probably not doing the math. Okay, so when you first consider the fact that our sun is just another star, it's insane for you to assume

that this one star is the only one that has a solar system around it. The rest of those stars all have, like, planets around them. So what does the math tell you? I don't know. I mean, what do we know at this point? Now, Virginia is like a hip-hop outliers in itself because you got Missy, you got Timbaland.

Geniuses. Teddy Riley. Genius. Like, what's in the water? Like, where did all those producers come from? There's definitely something in the water in Virginia. You got John, too. Like, what's in the water? Like, where did all those producers come from? There's definitely something in the water in Virginia. You got John, too. Like, he's killing it.

Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot. Knotts. There's Chris Brown. Trey Songz. Pusha T. Yeah.

DeAngelo. Pusha T. Like, y'all controlled sound. Clips. Fam. Listen, man, you know what it is? Virginia didn't have much, and so exercising your creativity was just kind of like a great outlet. Envy was down there.

He was down there when all of that was happening. Hampton U, Hampton U was on fire. Man. He might not have never been a DJ if he didn't go to Hampton U. My goodness. Some of the most beautiful, beautiful women. Have you always been like the eclectic type guy you are? Always aware, though. So, so, did you...

It just makes sense now. But, I mean, for me, it... Did you ever face resistance from, like, the pushy tees and those guys that were like, I don't want to work with that guy? No, no, no. They were always supportive. But I feel like you're more of a trendsetter. No. Because, you don't think so? No. Because, I mean, clearly people want to look like Pharrell.

Nah, that's weird. You being fake humble. You being fake humble. You have clothing lines. No, no, no. You being fake humble. No, no, no, no, no, no. This is not fake awkward either. It's like real awkward.

Just saying. We got more coming up with Pharrell. Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy. Hey, I'm Angela Yee.

And I go by the name of Charlemagne Nagata. And we just want to say happy holidays from all three of us. All three of y'all? It's DJ Envy. Hey, I'm Angela Yee. And I go by the name of Charlemagne Tha God, and we just want to say happy holidays from all three of us. All three of y'all. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Pharrell is in the building.

Can we go back to the... Yeah, let's go back to the movie. You scored how much of this movie? Pharrell, nobody talks about what you're actually here to talk about anymore when you do interviews. Okay. The PR didn't tell them? Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Okay. scored how much of this movie. For real, nobody talks about what you're actually here to talk about anymore when you do interviews. The PRs didn't tell them? Okay.

Sorry. Sorry. Okay. You guys drive. No, go ahead. Hit the figures. He's like, back to the movie. You got some more to tell us. I am really excited because I actually saw the trailer like a while ago.

And I was like, this movie is going to be great because Taraji P. Henson's in it. Kills it. Yes. Janelle Monae is in it. Kills it. She's so fun. By the way, Octavia Spence is in the movie also. Kills it. So some of my favorite people are in this movie.

Yep. Mahershala Ali, Kevin Costner. Real, really talented actors. When you think about it, like, a lot of the female contribution in science and just across the board has been largely ignored and dismissed and things are changing now.

It was actually women that discovered the way, the metric in measuring how far stars are or what they're made of, being made of hydrogen. Those are women. I don't even think in school they encourage women to get into the sciences. No, they don't. Or into math or anything. They don't really encourage that. They don't.

And you think about it like Catherine was a savant. It's insane what she was able to do. And there's a scene in the film where she needs to use the bathroom. But because of that time, because it was segregated, her bathroom wasn't on the other side of the building. It was on the other side of the campus. Damn. And so NASA, they were civil. They had like campus bikes. But that was for men because as men, we forget.

You could not wear pants or shorts. She had to wear long dresses and long skirts. So women couldn't ride the bike there. Right. So as an African-American woman, you had to run. Catherine had to run a 30 to 45 minute round trip, rain or shine, just to use the bathroom, just to relieve herself. So it's crazy. You speak a lot about gender bias.

You think gender bias is the reason Hillary didn't become president? Because you endorse Hillary Clinton. I think that gender bias played a part in it. I think they knew the difference but didn't appreciate the difference between reality shows and real news. As we see see fake news is a huge thing i also never believed in like the system of polls i thought polls were like antiquated it's 1200 people at a time and millennials don't answer house phones so to me i always thought it was antiquated i think the news got it wrong i think the news is responsible

i think twitter is responsible they could could have easily just pulled a plug. Social media, period. Yeah. Yeah. And I just think that there should have been a different game plan, man. There should have just been a different game plan. Do you think she was a terrible candidate? Because every time I say something like I think she was qualified, but I think that the tables have turned and I feel like

people look at politics like they look at any other television show. You got to entertain. And that's what happened. That's what happened in one case, and that's what did not happen in the other. Social studies, catfight. What you going to tune into? Yeah.

But I personally think women and millennials will essentially be the larger number that ends up saving us in four years. Why do you think that? Because women have compassion. They think about the world. They birthed the world. The whole entire world came through the conduit of a woman's body. True, indeed.

You know what I'm saying? So to me, I feel like it's going to be that. And there's going to be men that will be in the number. But there's going to be women and millennials. I remember you said that Hillary's dishonest, but so are you. So I remember thinking, so is Pharrell willing to deal with liars all the time or just when they're running for president? Who don't lie, bro?

On some level, on some level, who don't lie? Somebody who's been in politics as long as there's no way that you would be perfect. No, I'm the most upright standing, upstanding right, upright standing, whatever way you want to look at it, because they both have two different definitions, but it means the same thing. Who is that honest with their taxes? Right.

There we go. Whoa. There you go. Done. Hey, IRS, I'm very honest with money. Yeah, but I mean, listen, are you willing to sit down and fact check? Because they'll find something. It's a little gray line, a little gray area.

There's a gray area for everybody, right? I wrote off these clothes that I bought, but I didn't really use them for work. You need certain things. You might not even have all your paperwork properly in order, and you just say, okay, I'm going to guesstimate this is what I spent. 100%. Listen, look, day It is what it is. Now, but here's what I will say. This pressure that's going to come about is going to make the best

art, the best music, the best design, the best fashion is going to be amazing. The other thing is you'll see more people galvanizing. You'll see our culture galvanize. Is that why you're being more vocal now about these kind of issues? Nah, I'm done.

I'm done. I'm done. I'm telling you, I was mad, bro. I was like mad. Like after the election? No, before it. Okay. Nobody was listening. I'm like, yo, stop listening to these polls, man. These old ass people, man. They old, bro. Old antiquated thing that worked in the

50s and the 60s when part of the television show was to show you Colgate in the middle of the show that's when polls worked okay people is old bro yeah now let's talk about how you've managed in this business for so long to be really just level headed like we see all these artists going through different things and you know struggling with mental issues depression they talk about it in their music. They talk about it in interviews. But do you think that coming up in the era that you came up in where we didn't have social media, we didn't have the pressure of people being able to just

directly reach out to you, do you think that's been negative for artists sometimes? And how have you managed to maintain that? There's no college course. There's no college course for how to manage your money when you're in this business. When the lights are flashing and everyone's looking and, you know, it's so many competitions that are unspoken of but there

are you just in constant competition to flash harder perform harder do bigger numbers like there's a lot of pressures right and companies it's not like in football where they have like they actually sit down and have you take a course and like what to avoid and people to stay away from. And, you know, they don't do that in the music industry. This is the most abused industry ever. They said Barry Gordy used to when Smokey Robinson was here. He said Barry Gordy would have artists every week. They had these like training classes.

It didn't matter how big you were. Everybody had to come, you know, to his house and we need that training course. We need that. And there's some really nice and brilliant people that are in the music industry right now. But shouldn't you guys be doing that? Because you're empowered, Pharrell. I'm doing my best. Any artist that signed with me will own their masters.

It's crazy at the production thing, though, because it was like you was red hot, and there was a moment where we didn't hear nothing from Pharrell. And then it's just like you just came back and owned everything. I didn't do nothing. Stop it. I just. And then it's just like you just came back and owned everything. I ain't do nothing. Stop it. I just worked.

And it's the universe, too. It's the universe and the people. No matter how hot it is, it requires people to be into it. They got to buy it. They got to stream it. They got to tell their friends about it. You can't pay for that. So I don't take any of that for granted.

For me, as far as I'm concerned, I'm here based on doors that were open for me as far as i'm concerned i'm here based on doors that were open for me artists uh that worked with me inspired me based on um fans that continued to lift me up and you know the universe god like the rest of it like you know that's a prerequisite you're supposed to try to be your best or but that doesn't guarantee any kind of success that's you know you have to talk about the people that got you here all right, we got more with Pharrell when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are

The Breakfast Club. Pharrell is in the building. I always want to talk to you about the record Snitch, man, because I feel like that's the second greatest hip-hop acronym of all time. Whoa. Come on, easily. But it didn't get the credit for whatever reason, but I think it's Cream, and then I think it's Snitch.

Whoa. Thank you. You don't think so? Thank you. It was inspired. Pusha said you made it. You created it. Yeah.

How, though? Because you weren't in the street. One of our guys got locked up. Okay. He was in that world, and I didn't even really talk to him. But in my mind, I'd be like,

man, I know what I'd be thinking. Sorry, I'm trying to come home. I'm telling. Oh, yeah, I would. 100%. I would too. What do you mean? What?

What? Not what? Is there a question? I don't have a question. I always say don't do it around me. I'm telling. Me too. Yeah, I'm not built for it, bro.

I'm not built for it. No, man. What if you was out there doing it with them? I'm not doing it. I'm not you. Me too. Yeah, I'm not built for it, bro. I'm not built for it. No. What if you was out there doing it with them? I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. You don't have to do that at all. I don't want it that bad. All right, absolutely. Yeah, listen.

Certain people have it in their chemistry. They have it in their DNA. They're warrior. Like, they got it in them. I don't have that. I'm going to do this 30. No. All right.

No. Okay. No. 30 minutes in the gym, bro. Yeah. Did you ever go through a period of time where you felt like you didn't going to do this 30. No. All right. No. Okay. No. 30 minutes in the gym, bro. Yeah. Did you ever go through a period of time where you felt like you didn't want to do music anymore? Or you were just over it? You know what?

When I first got on, the deal went left. And I had a really, really, really dark time and my aunt who could like used to have like really strong dreams that dreams are in my family i had like a real tough time and i was like man i don't want to do this no more because it was so crazy we had gotten signed to emi and then the label folded like a dummy you know i brought my first you know car it was a lexus gs i was driving around i had no gas. I ain't care because it was just kind of like, look, I'm a backpacker and I have a Lexus. But my aunt was like, listen, this is what the devil wants. You know, if you give up right now, you don't understand what's on the other side of this moment.

Yeah, that was like a really dark time for me. I mean, we have those periods, man. As artists, we have those periods. We need some thunderstorms sometimes so that we can appreciate when that sunshine come back have you ever had a dark period while you were in the industry like like those times when we don't hear from you and labels may be like oh for real you're not the sound of the moment i would yeah yeah but i would only like feel me there was one time it's like just really dark because you just you want it to be a certain kind of way.

But that's when you have to let go. When you let go, then the universe sort of shows you how you're supposed to do it. You know, I always thought, like, I'ma be this, I'ma be that. And I've just been proven wrong every five years. Like, okay, cool. Alright. Let me just shut up. And now I just go with it. Where's the rest of Nerd at?

Shay's in Miami at the moment. Chad is in California at the moment. Does Chad still make music? Yeah. Okay. Absolutely. So when y'all do stuff like Happy, what was the Big Robin Thicke record? I forgot now. Blurred Lines. Blurred Lines. Yeah, he didn't work on any of that. But we still work together.

I'm just happy to collaborate whenever he's really ready to do it. He's a genius. Was it always planned for you to be like the Beyonce of Nerd? That was weird. No, I'm saying. You know what I meant by that. See, there you go. That's the gender thing.

Beyonce's bigger than gender. She's Beyonce. Exactly. That's a compliment. It is, but pointing me out to be that, that makes me feel awkward. I'm everybody. You're not Michelle. Stop it. And I'm everybody. You're not Michelle. Stop it.

And I love Michelle. That's supposed to be your friend. He is, but you know what I mean. He's the front man of the group. You think Nerd, you think Pharrell. You think Desi's shy, you think Beyonce. I know I shy away from that leader thing. He's like, I just do what I do.

We do what we do. You have to embrace it as a man because do what I do. We do what we do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. You have to embrace it as a man because you are a leader. You do have influence. Nah, bro. We're getting back to the awkward thing again. Don't you think, look, what Pharrell does works for him. It is what it is. He doesn't have to change and be all, you know.

I had to come to a point where every great leader had to know, okay, I'm a leader. What am I going to do with this great power? Man, come on, bro. Advisor. Advisor. I'm so happy to be that. How would you advise people now that Trump is in the White House? Intentions are at an all-time high. Recognize that there are power in numbers.

It's us now. It's us. No more me. Turn the M upside down. We. We, we, we. It's our time. It's French time. We have to galvanize. We got to see the power in numbers. And women, man, like, we need you.

And y'all got to stop hating on each other. Like, you don't understand. That is, man, they won because we did not stand together. And none of us are perfect. Everybody up here is flawed. Everybody lies. together and none of us are perfect everybody up here is flawed everybody lies like but when you recognize the strength in numbers like you could really do some amazing things you really can and when you don't you're gonna see that other side continue to do what they're doing because they

stuck together i'm glad you keep stressing women because i got in trouble the other day because i said i want i said it'd be really dope if women of color created a platform where they could have a voice to control their narratives like the young chick Tommy Lauren is doing. But she didn't create that platform. But she's used Facebook to get her voice out there even more. Right. So they came at me 100 miles per hour. But I'm just saying, look, I understand how powerful women of color's voices are right now. And women of color have a lot of platforms.

It's just the fact that it's not supported. Yeah, but I'm talking about as far as news. Like, we need an online news network. How you talk about false stories and fake stories? Yeah, by the way, look, I'm so sorry, but, man, we need those platforms to sort of step up. They helped create this situation. They didn't really police it enough.

Yeah. A lot of them. And the other side was just really smart. They were smart about it. They were like, they ain't gonna do nothing. They ain't gonna get involved. They gonna just continue

making their money on their advertising. And, you know, they did that. Well, let's get inspired and see Hidden Figures because I know it's gonna be an inspirational story

for a lot of women, a lot of women of color, a lot of people in general, even men, to let you know that you can't do anything. Yeah, it makes you feel better. Women crying,
