Now, yesterday I was saying, I was telling, it's holiday party season, so there's a bunch of holiday parties.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Yesterday was Def Jam's party. They were looking for you, Yee. Listen, let me tell you, my day was like yesterday. I did three episodes of my lip service podcast back to back to back. I was exhausted.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Paul Rosenberg was like, he's the, I wouldn't say the CEO of Def Jam, he's the president of Def Jam right now. He's the president. He was like, where's Yee? That's my guy.

There were so many people in there, he wouldn't know who it was. It was like packed. You couldn't see anybody.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I was like, she's here. Paul Rosenberg is also Eminem's manager and business partner and worked with him since the beginning of his career. I met him way back when Eminem wasn't signed. This is a good story because Paul Rosenberg, actually, before he became who he is today, president of Def Jam, he was a lawyer and he moved to New York from
Starting point is 00:03:50 Detroit and was living in an apartment with like three other people. It was a struggle for him when he first got started in this business and nobody would listen to Eminem's demo until he ended up signing to Dr. Dre. Well, he tricked them, he fooled them, and now he ain't got nothing to worry about for the rest of his life.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah, no, that's a great story, because he definitely went through a lot to get to where he is today. I respect Paul Rosenberg. He got me my first job at Sirius XM and radio. Yeah, so shout out to everybody at Def Jam. I was over there yesterday. Fab, Jeezy, shout out to Natina. It was great.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I missed a couple of holiday parties. I've just been running crazy. The higher holiday party was yesterday. I missed that one. I didn't get invited to that.

Starting point is 00:04:31 I thought that was the Angie Martinez Coquito Holiday Party. Yeah, no. That's what that was for? Yes. You know what's crazy? I did see those signs, but I thought those signs were for the party that we had Monday. No. But we also all got emails. I don't know. I haven't checked my emails yet. I haven't checked my email in years that we had Monday. But we also all got emails. I never checked my email. I haven't checked my email in years.

Yeah, shout out to Truly Original. I miss, that's a production company that I work with. I missed that one too. I missed a couple of them. I'm sorry. So you're just going to shout out all the parties you missed? Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Because I just want to say I'm sorry I missed it. That's all they want anyway. I've been working, man. I've been busy. All they want is a couple of them. I'm sorry. So you're just going to shout out all the parties you missed? Yes, because I just want to say I'm sorry I missed it. That's all they want anyway. I've been working, man. I've been busy. All they want is a shout out anyway. I went to go get my corn consultation yesterday. Did you? Give a round of applause.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Did they take it off? They didn't take it off yesterday because in order to do the surgery, because I didn't realize that. You didn't need surgery on your feet that bad, bro. They actually have to cut your bone. Yeah, they got to shave down the bone. I didn't realize that corns have to do with the bone. I learned a lot about corns yesterday. Corns are hereditary. My mom do have a big corn on her
Starting point is 00:05:30 baby toe, so I have two on each baby toe. So I'm going to do the surgery on January 16th. And I have to go into sedation, so I won't be here. I need to tell y'all that now, okay? I actually had to get a corn removed on my little toe before. Really? Yeah, they have to cut your bone, and then it's because, what is it called?
Starting point is 00:05:47 It's like the way your foot is shaped, and so they have to stitch it back together. Yes. So you have to get stitches. You got to get stitches. So they cut your bone, and they shave it down, and then they stitch it back together, and that's how your toe lays flat. Absolutely, and they say the corn will never return after that. So I'm going to get the surgery on January 16th because I'm going on vacation December 27th. So I can't get the surgery now
Starting point is 00:06:06 because I'm going in the water. So if I was to get the surgery today, You can't go in the water. I'd have to wait like two weeks, but that was cutting it too close to my vacation. And you have to wear a foot brace. Yeah, you got to wear a foot brace.
Starting point is 00:06:15 I'm just going to wait. I'm going to wait until after January. January 16th. Shout out to my mom. My mom called yesterday and she wanted to give you dog hair today. She was like,
Starting point is 00:06:23 did Charlamagne put his foot on a table where they were serving food? Yeah, that's gross. Did you? You think I'd give a damn about what he was serving food? It was Michael Strahan. He's black. That is true. She was like, Michael Strahan had to grab the food and move his food out the way. I was like, yeah, that was Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Not many people breathed over that food before my foot went up there and my foot was clean. I got a pedicure. First of all, I had a spa pedicure the day before. A milk and honey spa pedicure. My foot was immac foot was clean. I got a pedicure. I had a spa pedicure the day before. Milk and honey spa pedicure. My foot was immaculately clean. And when you get the surgery, it's very important for you to leave your foot elevated because
Starting point is 00:06:53 if you don't, I think something could with the bone is trying to set. So you always have to have your foot elevated. So I need to get a wheelchair then. You need a wheelchair. Not all the time, but like if you're sitting here, you should have your foot elevated on a chair. Now you're going to the airport in a wheelchair. Not all the time, but if you're sitting here, you should have your foot elevated on a chair. Now you're going to the airport in a wheelchair. I can play this one up.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Don't get into it. Now he's getting handicapped thinking he's going to be parking in all handicapped spots. If you need me to do it, I'll do it. My goodness. All right. Well, Kodak Black will be joining us this morning. Today is a very Ratchet Righteous show. If you've never listened to The Breakfast Club, this is your first time.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I know Fort Wayne, Indiana joined us this week. This is the perfect balance of what our show does. Okay, we got Kodak Black who provides the ratchet. And also Mark Lamont Hill who provides the righteous. There you go. This show is the perfect balance
Starting point is 00:07:32 of ratchetness and righteousness. And I'm sure that sometimes Kodak Black is righteous and Mark Lamont Hill is ratchet. That is true. That is absolutely true. All right. Well, front page news
Starting point is 00:07:40 what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about holiday parties. Maybe you'll go to the press party that the White House is having for Christmas. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's D-E-J-N-V-A-N-G-E-L-A-E. Shalom and the God. Hello. It's Friday. We're on The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Now, the Chargers beat the Chiefs. I didn't see the game last night, but it was 29-28. I definitely didn't see the game. I was laying on the couch elevating my foot. Stop it, man. What else we talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about this Brinks truck that spilled money all over the highway in New Jersey. This happened on Route 3 near East Rutherford.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Right by the Meadowlands, right where the Giants and Jets play. Yes. So, according to the news, they said motorists had trouble navigating the rush hour traffic. Other people were getting out of their cars. They were trying to get that money. And it led to multiple crashes as well. They didn't say how much money was lost, but they did say it did happen, according to Brinks. They're investigating what went down.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Salute to that snitch. That snitch. No, the snitch was everybody pulling out their cameras. Exactly. That's what I said. Salute to that snitch who pulled out their cameras and started recording everybody. And I don't understand why you weren't in the mix trying to pick up big bills your damn self. I did, but I said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:08:53 On the way home, there was people still looking for money. They were all in the wood area, all on the highway. My dad called me, and my dad's a retired police officer. He said, you know, you could go to jail for that. I said, what? For fining money on the floor? He was like, no, those bills are marked, and that's stolen money. And if they fine you, you could go to jail for that. I said, what? For fining money on the floor? He's like, no, those bills are marked and that's stolen money and if they fine you, you'll go to jail.
Starting point is 00:09:08 So I just kept going. I just think everybody got their priorities messed up. Like the same way when a fight breaks out, you pull out your phone, you record instead of calling 911. You need to tell me it's money on the ground. People picking it up, but you would rather pull out your phone and record it and get likes and retweets and attention instead of money? There's something wrong with y'all.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I was with L'Oreal. She wanted to leave from doing our podcast to try to go get. I was like, just sit your damn. Yeah, y'all need more ads for y'all podcast. She was trying to go get some free money. All right. Now, let's talk about KFC. They're going to be selling a fire log that smells like chicken. Nah.
Starting point is 00:09:41 The KFC 11 herbs and spices fire log. So if you want your house to smell like fried chicken, you can get that. That'd be a very weird flex to walk in somebody's house and think they're frying chicken, but it's just a fire log. And for you to brag about it. I got fire logs that smell like fried chicken. Yeah, I wouldn't want that. Well, it's extra crispy. That's so very stereotypical.
Starting point is 00:10:01 How do you as a black person walk into a store and ask for the fire logs that smell like fried chicken? And what if you walk into the store and they recommend them to you? Would you like the fire logs that smell like fried chicken? All right, Donald Trump has canceled
Starting point is 00:10:12 the White House Christmas party for press. Are you surprised? Oh, nobody coming. Yeah, and he wouldn't probably have gone either. You know, last year, CNN boycotted
Starting point is 00:10:21 the holiday party because of the president's continued attacks on journalists. And last year, April Ryan, who the holiday party because of the president's continued attacks on journalists. And last year, April Ryan, who was just recently up here on The Breakfast Club, CNN contributor. She also was left off the guest list for the first time in her 20 years of covering the White House. So now this year, they're just not going to have it at all. Who wants to go to that? No way it was going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Also, bomb threats have been emailed to multiple locations across the country. Now, they said they've been received in San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Miami, Washington, D.C., and other locations as well. There's an email that's demanding $20,000 via Bitcoin or there'll be a bomb. So it's saying if you don't make that transfer, the price will be your life and your business.
Starting point is 00:11:00 All right. Well, that's front page news. Now, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Maybe you had a bad night, a bad morning, or maybe you feel blessed. 800-585-1051. Maybe you were out there and got some cash from that Brinks truck. Whatever it may be, get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:11:17 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get it. Pick up the mother, mother phone and dial. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. Salem! Hey, y'all. How are you? Oh, Salem, you went on a date. Did you get something?
Starting point is 00:11:42 No. That's not even what I'm really worried about. What I'm really mad about, I have to vent, you guys, because my therapy session doesn't start until Monday, and my best friends are asleep, so I just want to talk to you guys about it. Talk to me, Salem. Talk to us. And then I need y'all's opinion. So I went on this date or whatever, quote-unquote date with this boy. I mean, yeah, boy. And long story short, long story short, he picked me up.
Starting point is 00:12:03 It was nice. We went to this nice little Cajun restaurant in downtown Dallas. It was nice. So the awkward moment comes when the check comes. Uh-oh. So when the check comes, he just looks at it and was like, I didn't know you had that many drinks. Keep in mind.
Starting point is 00:12:17 No, he didn't. Wait, all right. How many drinks did you have? I had about three shots and then one margarita. Come on now. That's a lot. That's a lot for a first date. You can hold your liquor, girl.
Starting point is 00:12:29 That's about $11, you guys. That's like $11. $11? Was it $2 Thursdays or something? It was a very cheap day. I don't know. I didn't really look at that. But that's not even the worst part, you guys.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So I ended up, I was like, I'm over this already. So I offered to pay for my bill. So she was just like, yeah, you can do that. Whoa, he let you pay for your stuff? That's why you shouldn't have offered. You did have a lot of shots, though. You did have a lot of drinks. You shouldn't have offered because that was your test. You wanted him to be like, no, no, I got it. They were watered down.
Starting point is 00:12:57 They were watered down. Damn, Sailor. We drink like a sailor, boy. I ain't going to front. That's a lot of drinks. Okay, let her finish her story. So go ahead. Thank you, Yeety. So, anyway, so, I called the waiter over and I was just like, hey, um, we're gonna have two separate checks. I'll just pay for my... He's already looking at me funny because the date was, it actually went
Starting point is 00:13:13 well. And there was red flags or whatever. Like, when he picked me up from my apartment, I went to stop at my car to go get my driver's license. And the first thing he says to me was like, you should have just drove your car. Because he has an old car and I have the newer version, so I'm not really worried about that. to go get my driver's license. And the first thing he says to me was like, you should have just drove your car. Because he has an old car and I have the newer version,
Starting point is 00:13:29 so I'm not really worried about that. I was a little ashamed. I hope he hears this. I was a little ashamed. Anyways, so when the waiter comes, I asked him, I was like, so if I didn't have my wallet, what would you have done? He was like, oh, I'm sure we would have figured something out.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I'm going to wash dishes. So I'm calling Uber. So I called Uber by that point. So he was just looking at me and then he had the nerve, you guys, to ask me, so can we go back to your apartment and just hang out? No.
Starting point is 00:13:52 What? No, no, not at all. That's not even the worst part. The one, this here's the last part. So I get on Twitter later that night. He blocks me. And then I logged in
Starting point is 00:14:00 to my friend's account. He's over here saying I'm inconsiderate, I'm bougie, I'm expensive, and I just didn't know how here saying I'm inconsiderate, I'm bougie, I'm expensive, and I just didn't know how to have a good time. Salem, I have to agree with all of the above. You are definitely bougie.
Starting point is 00:14:14 You are definitely expensive. I just have to say, Salem, that was a small price for you to pay to not have to go out with this man again. So now you already know what it is. And thank God. I knew you would be on my side. I knew you would be on my side. And thank God you got it. Thank God you got it that you were able to get yourself home okay.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Y'all are so superficial and shallow. Pay for your own drinks. You didn't tell us if this guy made you laugh. You didn't tell us if he was a nice guy. All you was talking about he didn't pay for your drinks. That's the only reason? That's a no-go? No, he was a great guy.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Look how stupid this Salem. I love you, but this is stupid. Salem. You're saying he's a great guy, but you maxed out. He didn't spend $11 in drinks. Four drinks on the first night is difficult. Listen, I think if a great guy, but you didn't spend $11 and drink four drinks on the first night? I think if a guy looks at the bill on a first date
Starting point is 00:14:49 and says, how many drinks you had? Four drinks, though? And I bet you had a steak. What did you eat? I had like an $11 meal. He had a $15, $15.99 meal. You had a steak. His bill was more expensive.
Starting point is 00:15:05 You had drinks. What So his bill was more expensive. No, it wasn't. You had drinks. Salem, what happened to all my independent, all my independent, what happened to all the independent women stuff? What happened to women having their own?
Starting point is 00:15:13 I pay for my bill. Don't that make me have it on my own? Yeah, but she also independently decided that he didn't ask me out. Yeah, he asked her out. Whoever asked her out
Starting point is 00:15:21 is supposed to pay. Salem, I would invite you to my podcast, but you drink too much. I ain't paying for that one. Y'all can invite Trav. But, you know, Trav just followed me on Instagram, so he is so cute. I'm not hot. If he wasn't gay, you guys.

Starting point is 00:16:32 I was trying to, I'm trying to do a career change, bro. I think I want to be like a, I'm a truck driver right now. Okay. But I think I want to, I want to be like
Starting point is 00:16:42 a celebrity driver, bro. You know what I'm saying? Drive around to live. That sounds so stupid. Why? No, no, no like a celebrity driver, bro. You know what I'm saying? Drive around to live. That sounds so stupid. Why? Not listen to me, though. Because I've been driving for about six, seven years. And I was hollering at my boy, Big Face Barry, out there in Detroit.
Starting point is 00:16:55 You know what I'm saying? Talking about S&B. And I was like, man, maybe I can, once he blow up, maybe I can be his driver. You talk too much.

Like, you know, you might get one celeb, he hot for one song, and then you cold for the rest of it. You better stay where you at. Somebody always needs a driver. If that's what he wants to do. Yeah, but it's a big deal between driving Mack trucks and being a chauffeur. But that's his goal.

Starting point is 00:21:23 We got rumors on the way, E? Yes, there's a lot going on. So we're going to start off with Nick Cannon versus Wendy Williams. I know we're going to talk about Kanye and Drake, and we might have to do that in the next hour because we got to talk about that for the whole entire break and beyond. All right, we'll get into that. And don't forget, Kodak Black will be joining us next hour.
Starting point is 00:21:41 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Nick Cannon was on the Wendy Williams
Starting point is 00:21:57 show and things were going swell until this happened. Now, you're spending holidays slay riding from one house to the next? All over. I'm Saint Nick for real. I mean, obviously I have an extended family, so I'll be visiting many houses over the holidays. But you know
Starting point is 00:22:14 what's interesting? I'm starting off in Haiti where I go to Haiti every year and I give toys to an orphanage down there, so that'll be on like the 23rd. Nice. From there, I'll be flying over in my sleigh. To Mariah's. Of course. I gotta pull up in Aspen. From Haiti to
Starting point is 00:22:29 Aspen to California. I'm all over the place. And then to the oops baby. The disrespect! Well, Nick Cannon was very classy with his response. He posted a video on his Instagram. Got another genius on my hands. The golden child. No oops over
Starting point is 00:22:45 here at Wendy's show. LOL. My guy is brilliant reading at the age of one. You playing a clip? What's this word say? Hold a bear. What about this word? What's this word say? What sound does tiger make?
Starting point is 00:23:01 Water. FYI, there's no such thing as an oops baby. Because whenever you hit something raw, it's an opportunity. You may get an STD or get someone pregnant. Not wearing a condom is a choice. So it's not an oops. You know the consequences of that raw sex. Yeah, I don't call nobody's baby an oops baby.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Yeah, it's not an oops baby. All right, now, Bill Cosby's lawyers have officially filed an appeal for his sex assault conviction. They're saying the trial judge is guilty of 11 legal issues. One of the things is allowing additional accusers to take the stand against Bill Cosby. According to Bill Cosby's lawyer, that infringed on his constitutional rights to due process of law under the Constitution
Starting point is 00:23:38 because they admitted five prior bad act witnesses. And also, they said the lawyer didn't explain his decision to allow those five women to take the stand during Bill Cosby's retrial. So we'll see what happens now that they have officially filed that appeal of his sex assault conviction. Out of sight, out of mind, for real. I forgot all about Bill Cosby being in jail until you said that just now. Yeah, he's still in jail.
Starting point is 00:24:02 He's serving three to ten years. All right, now, I know you probably forgot about this, too. Pharrell and Robin Thicke being sued for the song Blurred Lines. They had to pay Marvin Gaye's family $5.3 million. Originally, that judgment was for $7 million, but they filed an appeal. It got reduced to $5.3 million. The reason why people are talking about this case so much because of the song Blurred Lines and the Marvin Gaye Got to Give It Up song is because
Starting point is 00:24:27 it wasn't the entire replication of the notes or the melody. It was more, they said, it has a similar style and feel. So that's kind of a groundbreaking case will set the precedent for other people who are going to be making music with the same style and feel of another artist.
Starting point is 00:24:43 It did sound like a sample of the Marvin Gaye Got to Give It Up record, though. It did. Usually it would be like an exact replication, but this wasn't. So now, for other people, you just have to be aware. But somebody heard the record, the Marvin Gaye record, and was like, you know what, let's do it like that. And they tried to get away with it, and they didn't get away with it. All right, Kendall Jenner.
Starting point is 00:25:01 She made $22.5 million last year, which makes her the highest paid model in the world. She has a lot of endorsements. She did a select number of runway shows. She also is on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and all of that. Who trapping her? I don't know who she's with right now. Was she dating with the homie from the Sixes? Oh, Ben Simmons?
Starting point is 00:25:20 Yeah. I think they're supposedly not exclusive, but who knows? All right, Kylie Jenner, by the way, made $166.5 million off of her cosmetics last year. Dropping the clothes bonds for Travis Scott. You know what I'm saying? Making smart decisions out here. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Thank you, Missy. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Man, a seven-year-old girl just died while she was in custody at U.S. Customs and Border Protection. We'll tell you what happened. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Good morning. Number one song of the year right here, and it's not even close. Lil Duval, Smile Bitch featuring Snoop Dogg and Ball Greasy, okay? You know what the crazy part about that is? I agree with you. It's in the conversation. No, no, no. It's the number one song of the year.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Who's better? I agree with you in the conversation. But you know what? I the number one song Of the year Who's better What song was bigger Than Smile Bitch But you know what I forgot Somebody asked I did an interview And I forgot about Smile Bitch

People are starting to agree with you and when you say that Don't worry, when he drop his new single, okay? He's still not going to be the king R&B. Alright, you sit there. Things happen. Things can change, alright? Alright, well let's get in some front page news. And what generation will we put him in?
Starting point is 00:26:54 He's 41. Yeah, that's it. But he's a new artist. Alright, well last night in Thursday Night Football, the Chargers beat the Chiefs 29-28. Now what else we talking about, Yves? Let's talk about the alleged Russian spy. Maria Butina has pleaded guilty to engaging in conspiracy against the United States.
Starting point is 00:27:16 She's an alleged Russian spy who was infiltrating Republican political circles and influencing U.S. relations with Russia. This happened before and after the 2016 presidential election. So I know that was trending, so I'm just giving you guys that information. That's crazy to think that spies are real people. Like, you know, you growing up used to see spies on TV, but you just thought it was a TV thing. I didn't know that there was actually really spies in life. Now she also has an American co-conspirator and boyfriend,
Starting point is 00:27:38 Republican political operative Paul Erickson as well. So her sentencing is on hold while she cooperates with federal prosecutors on other ongoing investigations. She's facing a maximum of five years in prison. All right. A seven-year-old girl who was suffering from dehydration just died in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection after she got sick last week. She was traveling from Guatemala with her father. She was detained on December 6th and she had not eaten or consumed water for several days.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Started having seizures about eight hours after she was put into custody by Customs and Border Protection. And that's when she went into cardiac arrest. I mean, they just put her in a cell somewhere
Starting point is 00:28:19 and walked away. Like they put her in some holding facility and just walked away. It's really sad that I have Listen, you know what their response is According to a spokesman They said, unfortunately
Starting point is 00:28:32 Despite our best efforts And the best efforts of the medical team treating the child We were unable to stop this tragedy from occurring Once again, we are begging parents To not put themselves or their children at risk Attempting to enter illegally Yeah, but even if they enter... And by the way, seeking asylum is not illegal.
Starting point is 00:28:48 It's always been something that people have been allowed to do. It's just a long process, and the process is even harder now. If you're fleeing from something back home, you can seek asylum here, and people have been able to legally get here, but that process is definitely being threatened now. Yeah, but even if they attempt to enter illegally as a human being, shouldn't you have some empathy for a child? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:29:07 You're not going to give the child something to drink. You're not going to give the child nothing to eat. Die from dehydration. Absolutely. You know what I mean? Like, for what? Just to prove a point? Just to say, like, look, this is one of the reasons you shouldn't try to sneak into the country illegally?
Starting point is 00:29:17 Like, no. Like, God damn, man. All right. That's the same way I feel about, like, doctors. Like, when you watch movies like John Q and, like, people don't have health insurance. I agree. If somebody needs help and you can help save a life. People will let you die right there.'s the same way I feel about doctors. When you watch movies like John Q and people don't have health insurance. I agree. If somebody needs help and you can help save a life. People will let you die right there.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Save the damn life. People are just born. You just go let them die because they don't have no insurance. That's stupid. Have some empathy, man. I hope God treats you the same way, by the way. All right. All right.

Starting point is 00:41:36 But look how Gucci's grown and evolved. So when you see that, does that give you inspiration? Like, man, that's what I could be when I get older. Because there's different
Starting point is 00:41:41 legends in this game. It's like, do I want to be a legend like DMX or LaBouche or Gucci or Trey? It's different kind of legends and shit. I was like, I want to keep evolving and shit. So you want to cut your hair one day and have the abs and... All that bullsh**.

Even if I hit the lotto. But I don't think I should say, oh yeah,. Thank you, Lord. I might still be rapping, though.

Starting point is 00:44:38 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Kodak Black mini mix. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Kodak Black is in the building. Charlamagne?
Starting point is 00:44:51 Did you and Master P ever fix y'all's situation up? He was trying to be a mentor one time. No, it's just like everybody be about bulls**t, right? I'm going to take my ski off this. Okay. And say, okay, somebody like older than you, right? They're going to feel like I ain't finna give you All the gain Cause if I give you
Starting point is 00:45:05 All the gain You ain't gonna need me no more You think it's not genuine It don't be genuine Cause some people Be like Oh I'm not aiming for the money But turn around
Starting point is 00:45:12 And be on some money Everybody want something Everybody wanna use you But it's about Who you gonna let use you And I think P was saying I don't remember correctly But I don't need for me
Starting point is 00:45:21 To talk about it Let's flash back To when Master P was on here Talking about Kodak, Black's lawyer on The Breakfast Club. He just got a lot of people around him he got to fix. And I feel like doing this thing,
Starting point is 00:45:31 maybe we'll get a chance to expose these attorneys, these people getting braided off. You don't even see it. You can't see the contract. You can't see nothing. I feel like, oh boy, when we had the little back-to-school giveaway and supplies and stuff, I think he tried to turn us against each other. I don't even know
Starting point is 00:45:47 where his money come from. So I don't know who came and see how am I trying to get money from him if I don't even know where his money come from. You know, I bet you Theo know where it come from. You know, everybody try to conquer and divide. I love my music lawyer. He ain't trying to steal nothing. Who's that, Theo?
Starting point is 00:46:03 How can you trust him though now? I think sometimes we put more trust in white people than we do our own people. I ain't trying to steal nothing. Who's that, Theo? How can you trust him though now? I think sometimes we put more trust in white people than we do our own people. I ain't gonna lie. Listen, listen. I ain't gonna lie. How about I was saying that one time too though. You feel me? Because it's like, I ain't got no manager. I never wanted a manager because I feel like I could fire
Starting point is 00:46:19 you. I could tell you to get from around me anytime. I ain't got to go through no paperwork, no none of that shit, right? But he was like a dude who was like who was around Emma, but I kind of gave him more chances than I did not give like my own people Hmm other people only put up with that like I'm too busy dead You feel me cuz somebody like P with the experience he got and probably things he could teach you What's wrong with paying him a consultation fee? Because you ain't got no problem
Starting point is 00:46:45 paying the white man that. I'm cheap, man. I don't need to try that. Hey, but listen. But at the same time, though, it's like, what told me is like, how you gonna say,
Starting point is 00:46:55 okay, it ain't about no money, but turn around and be on some money. It did. It wrapped you the wrong way. I feel what you're saying. I mean, I get it. If he said that.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Then it's some other stuff. I ain't gonna lie, though. I should break it down because he tried to, I get it. If he said that. Then it's some other stuff. I ain't going to lie, though. I should break it down because he tried to, I ain't going to lie, he tried to kind of like spray me like, try to act like,
Starting point is 00:47:11 oh, I don't know about my paper. I got my sniper game contracts in my book bag. I walk around with it. Like, I'm a CEO. Like, you know what I'm talking about? Why you walk around
Starting point is 00:47:19 with the contract? You can have it. I have it. I have it places. I got other copies. I just got it. You know what I'm talking about? While you're reading it, trying to learn it, figuring it out.
Starting point is 00:47:26 It's mine. You feel me? Put up. Yeah. Like, I don't know, man. But somebody got to teach you the business, though, Kodak. I know. Especially if you ain't got no manager.
Starting point is 00:47:33 You right. So who do you trust to teach you the business? God. Because he ain't going to lie. Because I feel like I ain't got to go through what, like, other people. Like, they be in the game, like, 15 years and have to learn about. They been getting **** and ****. I feel like God ain't gonna have no crazy people around me like that.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Would you hire a manager if you met somebody you thought was... I ain't gonna lie. I'm talking to these people right now and stuff, though. Who is it? For the next level. Some people. Some people. I see you got Gucci Pucci here.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah, Gucci Pucci. That my boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That my boy. So you trust that because he's from Florida, he's black. Yeah. Pie been around Right Yeah
Starting point is 00:48:07 We chopping up We vibing I know Gucci ain't tell you It ain't about no money Nah he ain't He ain't tell me that Listen listen Cause it's like
Starting point is 00:48:16 Ain't nothing free Like how you Cause like people be like Okay yeah man And then I don't know Like ain't nothing free See that's what I think
Starting point is 00:48:23 People was trying to say though Cause people You gotta pay for time At the end of the day Yeah then I don't want you No free shit But at then, I don't know. Like, ain't nothing for you. See, that's what I think people was trying to say, though. Because you got to pay for time at the end of the day. Yeah, then I don't want you on the free shit, but at the same time, don't come off talking like that
Starting point is 00:48:30 and then try to turn around and stuff. He's saying don't say it's not about the money and then it is. And then he talk like, he talk like, man. See, I feel like that's police
Starting point is 00:48:38 me being on the radio trying to like, to thank y'all. I don't know. He's still an OG, though. I mean, he ain't nothing. He's still respected. Yeah, you got to respect him.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Man, this child kind of like, over like on a back school drive. Like, yay! What happened with the back of the school drive? I remember. I don't remember. Yeah, like, f***. It's a back. Like, yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Like, hmm. He's got his feelings and all that bulls***. Like, man. I mean, like, stay where you at. Oh, I remember that. He said that you came to him and asked him to do a back to school drive. Matter of fact, let's play what Master P said when he was here on The Breakfast Club. He came at me with the book back thing, said, let's do the book back giveaway.
Starting point is 00:49:12 So, you know, I mean. And you still did it. I still did it because I'm about here. I put my name on it. So we had the book back thing. And Kodak said, no, big dog, I want to do Jan Sports bags. Cheapest I found Jan Sportsports was $30 a bag. It's 1,500 people at the school over there.
Starting point is 00:49:28 That's $45,000. But I told Kodak, I said, man, just send me $15. I already had brought the bags over. I said, well, just send me $15. I just wanted to see. Because the dude was like, oh, no, I could get it for $9. $9 for JanSports? It wasn't that, though.
Starting point is 00:49:40 It's some regular. I'm doing a back-to-school job. This is my section. You know what I'm talking about about you just know the people like you feel me i'm paying for it you feel me but when you send a quote i'm like man this look it's gonna be full here it's gonna be like like games and shit too oh no that's the extra woo woo so i'm like i ain't finna go through some other people and they gonna have games for the people at the back of school. They gonna have food, hot dogs, all that. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:50:08 It's way cheaper than what you was just charging for book bags and pencils. So now when I got my own people and I'm paying less, now you ain't even coming to my back to school drive. You feel me? But you go on the internet, you don't tell them that. I ain't even say that. You know what I'm talking about? You spread on some like, I don't know about the business.
Starting point is 00:50:23 You feel me? ain't finna let you get over on me. Bout no back to school drive. You feel me? So what? You feel me? I don't care about your rep. You know what I'm talking about? Then he come, he come to my side.
Starting point is 00:50:32 He come to my section and shit. And still like he, like I guess he probably grew like a little school that I used to go to, you feel me? And he gave away like little book bags over there and shit. And then when I try to do my back to school drive, police shut it down. But the judge already say okay, Kodak could come around here and do that.
Starting point is 00:50:52 You feel me? Because I don't know how serious. The judge say, uh, Kodak could come. He got permission. Kodak got permission. So now, once I pull up to my hood and shit, police like, man, we got a restraining order on you. You can't come out here. Bitch, you get out the car, you going to jail. All of a sudden,
Starting point is 00:51:08 bruh out here. I don't know. That s*** is crazy. I feel like I don't... That's something y'all can work out in the future. I don't feel... That s***, baby, you feel like... That s***, baby, you feel like, man, there's some police s*** going on. How are you staying in good spirits with all the charges and stuff you're facing?
Starting point is 00:51:23 I don't see that. You feel me? It's like nothing worse than death. But you don't want to go back to jail either, though. I don't. And I don't think I'm going. I don't think that's in my future no more. I think I did enough of that. Like, I could have just stayed in jail.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Why even let me come home? Keep walking in purpose, man. You got a purpose out here, man. And don't be afraid to express that shit. You know what I mean? But start wearing condoms. Because we don't want you to survive jail. And don't be afraid to express that shit. You know what I mean? But start wearing condoms. Because we don't want you to survive jail. We don't want you to survive death.
Starting point is 00:51:49 But you know. Go out because of that. Go out because of that. How many kids do you have? I got one son. Okay. Yeah, I got one son. She just hit you for some child support, didn't she?
Starting point is 00:51:58 I pay more child support than Rick Ross. I know he got more money than me. How much you pay a month? $4,200. No. Yay. And I know you take more money than me. How much you pay a month? $4,200. No. Yay. And I know you take care of yours. Or you don't go back to court and try to get that reduced.
Starting point is 00:52:10 I'm going to try to see about something. But you be on social media, and they see you with that money, and they see you with all that jewelry. That's what that is about. I'm broke. Man, listen, this Atlanta Records stuff, this ain't my money. These people let me hold it for the videos, for all that. This is not my jury.
Starting point is 00:52:28 But they check your accounts when they do the child support thing. They know how much you get in the show. And that's your teeth. That ain't Atlantic teeth. Dang. $4,200? See, that would make me put a condom on cold day. I feel like if I get me some more babies out here, they might be like,
Starting point is 00:52:43 see, nah, he can't be paying $4,200 for each baby. Y'all gonna have to split it. Y'all gonna have to make a decision. That ain't f***ing me. Who's splitting what? They're gonna tell you $4,200 each. F*** him. So, like, I don't know if that's a good way to think of me.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I've been thinking about that lately. Like, man, if I... Y'all gonna have to split these $4,200. Or they might say, for each one, you gotta pay $4,200 because it's gotta be equal Just get you a good lawyer That can get the payment Yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:53:08 I ain't gonna We're not real talk You gotta go get married Like you said And be monogamous Yeah Would you marry your baby mom? Monogamous
Starting point is 00:53:13 Hell nah Now it's gonna go up to $5,200 Now that you said that Hopefully Kodak sends us An edible arrangement In the beginning of the year Or something like that And you got you a new little one now too
Starting point is 00:53:24 I'm gonna sing you the bell Thank you You got you a new little one now too. I'm going to sing you the bell. Thank you. You got you a new little one you on the phone with all night long too? Yeah. You going raw? Kodak Black. He already did. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Thank you very much. Mr. Breakfast Club is Kodak Black. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Drop on the clues. I'm a little Kodak for pulling up. Nobody's excited.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Kodak Ball Black. Just landed Friday, man. Of course I'm excited. One time for a little Kodak. All right. Well, let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Kanye. Listen up.
Starting point is 00:53:59 It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report.
Starting point is 00:54:06 The Breakfast Club. Well, this situation snowballed. Now, Kanye got a clearance request that was sent in to him from someone in his camp, Free, from Drake. And he wanted a clearance request for Say What's Real. His friend, Free, said, do you want to clear? Kanye posted it and said, For mentioning the 350s. No wearing 350s around me. No stylist right here.
Starting point is 00:54:40 He don't want nobody wearing no 350s around him. What's wrong with that? It's a stab, man. He said, I've been trying to meet with you for six months, bro. You sneak dissing on Trav Records and texting Chris, talking about how's the family. Now he's, of course, talking about sicko mode.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Check this out. Oh, man, I crept down the block. Made a right, yeah. Cut the lights, yeah. Pay the price, yeah. Sick and think it's sweet. It's on site, yeah. Nothing nice, yeah. Pay the price, yeah. Sick and think it's sweet. It's on site, yeah. Nothing nice, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Vegas in my eyes. Jesus Christ, yeah. Checks over stripes, yeah. That's what I like. That's what we like. Lost my respect, yeah. You're not a threat. So that supposedly is subliminal shots.
Starting point is 00:55:22 What was the subliminal? Well, I guess they live right down the block from each other. And there were some rumors that Drake had slept with Kim Kardashian from the Kiki song. So he's talking about driving down the block, make a right. And then he said checks over stripes. Obviously, the Nike check over the Adidas. That's what's so corny. That is what's so corny about all this.
Starting point is 00:55:39 They literally live right up the street from each other. They never see each other. They don't run into each other. Of course they do. They go to homeowners meetings together, I'm sure. Now Kanye goes on to say, I told you I didn't tell Pusha about your son. It's all love, bro, bro, but don't play with me.
Starting point is 00:55:54 You stay too close to be playing all these industry games, sending purple emojis when I'm dealing with mental ish. I need my apologies now. Not through Scooter either. Not through Travis. Not the purple emojis. Now, he goes on to talk about a lot of, there's a whole barrage of tweets that happens after this.
Starting point is 00:56:10 He said, buying first two rows of Pusha Show got me hot, bro. Stop this already, bro. You're getting people hurt out here. And over what? And then he said, Drake finally called. Mission accomplished. By the way, not cleared. I ain't gonna front Kanye.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Sound like one of those girls who you've been igging for the longest. And so, like, to get the guy's attention, you get on Twitter and start talking all crazy. Crazy. They got to call you up just to be like, what's wrong with you, man? I'm sure Drake didn't sound like that. Man. I'm sure he didn't sound like that. Now, all Drake did was respond by just posting laughing, crying emojis, and that's it.
Starting point is 00:56:45 He said nothing. Was it the purple crying emoji? No. It was just the crying face emojis. Now, Kanye still didn't stop after that. He said, so Drake, if anything happens to me or anyone from my family, you are the first suspect. What? So cut the tough talk.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Because he's saying Drake called and threatened him. I mean, I can understand with the fake patois. You know what I'm saying? How that can come off as threatening. Come on! Come on! Kanye also said the kid he had run on stage at Push's concert is in critical condition. He says, I got a family and kids.
Starting point is 00:57:14 6ix9ine is locked up. XXX is dead. The kid that ran on stage is in the hospital. Everybody knows somebody. Why are you putting yourself in the lane with those young kids? Kanye, you're 40-something years old. You should know better. You should be able to avoid those kind of things. I mean, none of us can avoid death, but come on.
Starting point is 00:57:30 And then he goes on to tell Drake, you're trying to be a bully. I've never been bullied in my life, and I never will be. That's why I made it this far in a pink polo. And he shot some shots at Travis Scott, too. He said, how you gonna be on Trav's song, Coming At Me? Trav should never have allowed that.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Isn't that why Drake is mad at Kanye? Because you did that with Pusha T? Listen, I'm just saying. I'm just telling you what's going on. And then Kim jumped in. You got to get to the Kim part. I will. He said, Drake, I'm not going to physically fight you like it's MTV Boxing.
Starting point is 00:57:59 And then he said, I used to bring Travis with me. MTV does boxing? Everywhere. Celebrity boxing, that's for sure. With me. I'm an inspiration to both him and Drake. I heard Drake have more bars dissing me that were removed. Travis is my family and let this, I don't know what a met is, but he said, let this
Starting point is 00:58:11 met throw sneak disses at me for clout. Kanye West is jealous of Drake. Kanye West is jealous of Travis Scott. He's jealous of all the success that both of them have had this year. He's upset that Drake dissed the 350s because that's his bread and butter and he knows Drake can make those sneakers less cool. Now Kim Kardashian did respond. She said, at Drake, never threaten
Starting point is 00:58:31 my husband or our family. He paved the way for there to be a Drake. My husband is the most brilliant person, the most genius person that I know. He has broken so many boundaries, everything from music, stage design, fashion and culture and will continue to change the world. I bet you Drake just called and just breathed
Starting point is 00:58:48 on the phone but he was breathing in patois. Patokwana. Patokwana. Patokwana. Patokwana. And he took that as a threat. I don't know what kind of threat he could have potentially issued. He started doing karate.
Starting point is 00:59:06 I'm in here doing Jamaican Patois. That was Jamaican Patois. No, it wasn't. You guys are insulting to the whole culture. Yours wasn't? Oh, but Drake's not? We're insulting the culture, but Drake's not. Man.
Starting point is 00:59:18 My God. Okay, anyway, I mean, that's your rumor report. A lot of mercy. Let's strip it. Solomon. Yes. Who you give your donkey to? You know, I was going to give it to somebody else,
Starting point is 00:59:29 but now after hearing this Kanye West thing, it's lamer than I thought. So I think that Kanye West needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a little word with him this morning. All right. We'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:59:40 The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Prilo is the best way to watch TV, live or on demand. More than 50 channels you love, like VH1, BET, and of course, Revolt. Best part? Philo is just $20 a month. Find out for yourself with a free trial. No credit card needed.

You have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. This is a breakfast club, bitch. Who's donkey of the day today? Let's let the spirit move me this morning. Donkey of the day for Friday, December 14th goes to Mr. Kanye West.
Starting point is 01:00:36 My guy, I'm wearing Yeezy. Which one's the Yeezy? Those are not 350s. Those are 750s. Okay. I'm wearing Yeezy. They're 750s? I thought they were like 700s. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:44 They're seven something. I'm wearing Yeezy's. Yeezy's seven something. I'm wearing Yeezy's. I got a number rights. Okay. I'm wearing 750s. I thought they were like 700s. I don't know. They're seven something. I'm wearing Yeezy's. Yeezy's seven something. I'm wearing Yeezy's. I got a number right now. Okay. Now, if you missed it yesterday, Kanye went on a Twitter rant via social media, and I tried to ignore it, but he sounded lamer and lamer with every tweet.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Now, let me give you the gist of what he's upset about. To be honest with you, I don't know the gist of what he's upset about, but it's all centering around Aubrey Graham, commonly known throughout the world as Mon. And the other 700, sorry. Okay. Now, I'm not reading all these lame-ass tweets because he literally posted like 100 of them. No, literally. Literally posted like 100 tweets.
Starting point is 01:01:16 One tweet says, Drake called trying to threaten me. Kanye tweeted, there would never be a Drake without a Kanye West, so never come out your mouth with a threat. Kanye allegedly talked about Drake getting people hurt at concerts, in particular when people rushed to stage at Pusha T's concert in Toronto last month, where one person was stabbed and critically wounded. I didn't know that. So Kanye mentioned that and said, so if Drake anything happens to me or anyone from my family,
Starting point is 01:01:40 you are the first suspect, so cut the tough talk. He also accused Drake of sneak dissing him on records on Sycamore. Don't we have that clip? Let's hear it. Oh, man, I crept down the block. Made a right, yeah. Cut the lights, yeah. Pay the price, yeah. Sick and think it's sweet.
Starting point is 01:01:56 It's on site, yeah. Nothing nice, yeah. Baggage in my eyes. Jesus Christ, yeah. Checks over stripes, yeah. That's what I like, yeah. That's what we like, yeah. Mine. Jesus Christ, yeah. Checks over stripes, yeah. That's what I like. Yeah. That's what we like.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Yeah. Mine. My respect. You're not a threat. Mine. And he got mad because Drake dissed his bread and butter, you know, which is his sneakers right now on French Montana's No Stylish. Can we hear that?
Starting point is 01:02:19 Yeah. Keeping it G. I told her don't win no 350s around me. Also, Kanye is conveniently back claiming he has mental health issues, which is very apparent to everyone, and I really wish he would get a handle on it. Kanye said Drake was being disrespectful to all people with mental health conditions, so this is an opportunity for growth. Kanye tweeted out, no more fake playing with people's lives, kids, and mental health.
Starting point is 01:02:39 This is so strange to me because literally when Kanye was in the White House, he said that he wasn't bipolar. He was misdiagnosed. He actually had sleep deprivation. So that's why he wasn't taking his meds no more. We all knew that was BS. And Kanye was in denial about his own mental health struggles. But, bruh, don't bring this up as a pillar to stand on in a rap beef. Don't weaponize your mental health struggles to make it look like Drake is bullying somebody with mental health struggles.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Okay, Drake has an issue because you be doing sucker shit. All right? Kanye also went at Travis Scott. He said, F that Sicko Mode song. Family first and always. Then he said, I actually like Sicko Mode, but I don't like that it was all sneak disses. Kanye tweeted, Travis, my family,
Starting point is 01:03:16 and let this Met throw sneak disses at me for clout. Did he mean Mon when he said Met? I don't know what Met. I think he meant Mon. Then in one of his tweets, he posted, F clout? Did he mean man? I don't know what man. I think he meant man. Then in one of his tweets, he posted F clout and no artist should ever diss me for clout.
Starting point is 01:03:31 Period. Okay, I can't read any more of these. Alright, listen. Here's my diagnosis. Kanye West sounds lame as hell. Like no one man should have all this corny. Alright, first of all, Kanye and Drake literally live right up the street from each other. Like literally. They would probably go to home owners meetings in the neighborhood if they had time. All right, I've been to Kanye's crib.
Starting point is 01:03:48 I've passed Drake's crib to get there. Same thing with Travis Scott. Travis is damn near Kanye's brother-in-law. You can't send out a tweet that says, F that sickle mode song, family first and always, but diss your so-called family in the process. All right, what you saw in this Twitter rant was a fragile, broken, bruised ego talking. Kanye West is jealous of Drake and Travis Scott. All right? It's the end of the year.
Starting point is 01:04:10 People having these best song, best album, best artist debates. Kanye put out a lot of music this year. And the culture wasn't really vibing with it. I mean, Tiana Taylor album was great. I loved it. I really enjoyed the Kid C. Ghost album with Cudi. Ye album was cool, but it didn't have no impact. And Nas' album was mid-grade as hell.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Only album Ye was involved in that's in the conversation is Pussy Cheese Daytona. Everybody's like, yo, that's an album of the year. I got it in my top two, okay, between that and Victory Lap. And Kanye really don't get credit for that. Meanwhile, Travis Scott and Drake with Astroworld and Scorpion dominated the year. Easily two of the biggest artists of the year. Would y'all agree? Huh?
Starting point is 01:04:45 And Sickle Mode is probably the biggest song of the year, even though I think it's Little Duval Smile, bitch, but if we talking numbers, it's not even close. It's Sickle Mode. So I simply feel Kanye is jealous and envious of the monster year Drake and Travis had. As far as Drake and Travis making threats to Ye, that's ego, too.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Ye on Twitter talking spicy, and Drake probably told Ye, I'ma come see you. I'ma come down the block, make the right and we gonna fight on sight. Let a mana too fly. Alright, Travis probably making threats because he like when I drop Stormy off at her grandma's house, I'ma slap fire
Starting point is 01:05:15 at you. That's just testosterone talking and testosterone can be taken as threatening. All that toxic masculinity going back and forth over phoning texts. It's not gonna be like that when y'all see each other in the face, okay? But I can see how Ye would take that as a threat. But, Ye, that's your fault. You can't call for positive vibes and positive energy
Starting point is 01:05:32 after you put out so much negativity via your Twitter timeline. And how in the hell are you going to complain about Travis Scott letting Drake diss you on Sickle Mode when that's one of the exact reasons Drake is mad at you? Because you produced Infrared, the record on Pusha's album, where he was getting that Drake. Come on, man. Kanye tweeted out in reference to Drake yesterday,
Starting point is 01:05:52 our boy is lost and confused. No, Kanye. Drake isn't lost and confused. You are. All right, this has nothing to do with Drake threatening your family. This has nothing to do with sneak disses. This has to do with Drake being the hottest artist in the world, Travis being one of the hottest artists in the world, and you being jealous of their success. This has to do with Drake being the hottest artist in the world, Travis being one of the hottest artists in the world, and you being jealous
Starting point is 01:06:06 of their success. This has to do with Drake dissing your sneakers because that's your bread and butter and you know if Drake makes your sneakers less cool and people stop buying them, that's taking food off your plate. Drake and Travis out here on the top of the charts and Kanye West, an icon, a legend, is out here doing Twitter rants like a new
Starting point is 01:06:21 nigga, right? Kanye is mad because his once sons don't look up to him anymore. But the reason they don't look up to you is because of lame-ass Twitter rants like the one you did yesterday. You mad because they don't pick up the phone when you call? You say they should never diss you? Who are you? They men like you men.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Sometimes your idols become your rivals. Travis Scott and Drake don't owe you a damn thing. So, yay, cut this monkey business out. You're embarrassing us. And stop accusing people of seeking clout because based off what I saw yesterday,
Starting point is 01:06:50 the only person who looks like they chasing clout here is you. Please give Kanye West the biggest hee-haw. I'm disgusted. Well, you'll never be
Starting point is 01:07:01 on a Kardashian show again. I'm sure I will. I'm sure I will be. That means it's done already. No, I haven't done it again. I've only done it once. All right. Who cares?
Starting point is 01:07:15 I'm just joking. All right, anyway. More exclusive Yeezys? There you go. I'm going to get those two. All right. Come on. All right.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Well, now, when we come back, thank you for that donkey today. Mark Lamont Hill will be joining us. My brother, Mark Lamont Hill. He just recently lost his job. My accent was bad. We'll talk to him about all that. Mon. All right, that's Mon, ye.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Okay. All right, we'll kick it with him when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:07:49 We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. Mark Lamont Hill. What's up, y'all? What's up, good brother? Oh, man. Everything. Oh, man. We might as well get right to it. Yes. You know, CNN fired you for speech they deemed anti-Semitic. Let's play a little snippet of what you said at the
Starting point is 01:08:05 United Nations speech. Now it's 22 minutes in total, so let's just play a little bit of it. I am profoundly interested in the plight of the Palestinian people, as well as the broader ethical, moral, and political implications of their struggle for freedom and justice, as well as equality. We have an opportunity to not just offer solidarity in words but to commit to political action and international action that will give us what justice requires and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea. So explain what happened. I laid out a criticism of the Israeli government. After you came from Palestine. After I came from Palestine. And after I gave that interview,
Starting point is 01:08:50 there was some pushback. Some people were criticizing me. And then the next morning, I got a call from CNN. And they said that the speech was not in line with their values. A lot of people focused on the last line of the speech where I said free Palestine from the river to the sea. They said that that could be interpreted as a call to destroy the state of Israel. They find that that's an offensive term to the Jewish community, right? I haven't found that to be the case. Here's what I'll say. I think there is a small sector of people who have a particular politics about that that phrase.
Starting point is 01:09:29 That's a lot more radical. Right. Than what was in your speech. Right. And they were trying to say that that part of speech was like that was dog whistling to destroy Israel. And let me be very clear. I wasn't dog whistling to destroy Israel. When I say free Palestine to the river, to the sea, what I'm saying is I want every part of the region to be free. It means just what I said. You don't want people living under oppression. Exactly. Well, tell us what you've seen there because we were clueless.
Starting point is 01:09:51 And you've been there more than once. I've been to research there for three years. There's a couple of things going on. One is in the state of Israel proper, in the actual state of Israel, there are 20% of the Israeli population are Arabs. They designate them as Arabs. They're Palestinian people. They're people who have been there and they're full citizens. And this is what Israelis
Starting point is 01:10:08 will say. There are Arabs there who live there. They can vote. They can do whatever they want. And that is technically true. They have the same citizenship rights on paper as the Israeli people, as Jewish brothers and sisters. The problem is in real life, they don't have the same rights. There are more than 60 laws on the books
Starting point is 01:10:23 in Israel that discriminate on the basis of people being Palestinian or not being Jewish or not being this thing. I'll give you an example. There's something called admissions boards. And an admissions board is a group of people who can decide whether or not you can move into a neighborhood. And the criteria for moving into a neighborhood is whether or not you can keep the social and cultural fabric of the neighborhood. So what would that mean in Brooklyn? Right. Imagine if when you buy a new crib in Brooklyn
Starting point is 01:10:49 and there's a group of people, white people, who decide whether or not you can move in based on whether you'll keep the culture and social fabric of Brooklyn. Right. Now, if you look like them and believe like them and think like them, you're probably cool. If not, then you can't get...
Starting point is 01:11:02 Nobody's going to actually sell you or rent you a place in that area. That happens now, though. Like, if you are a black person and you live in a certain neighborhood, they're looking at you like, there goes the neighborhood, you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. But imagine if it was the law. Imagine if it was 50 years ago and it was the law again. They just, just
Starting point is 01:11:17 two days ago, the Israeli Knesset, which is like their Congress, approved, expanded that by 200 in the north near the Galilee. They can say you can't live here based on that. That's just one example of many. But that's what's happening in the region, right? And that's if you live in Israel. But most Palestinians don't live in Israel.
Starting point is 01:11:33 They were expelled. More than 750,000 were expelled during the war in 48. They live in an area that is occupied by Israel. They have special IDs to be able to travel. They don't have freedom of movement. If they get arrested, if I'm Israeli and you're Palestinian and we commit the same crime, I'm going to get seen by a civil court. The Israeli will get seen as a
Starting point is 01:11:49 civil court. The Palestinian will get seen in military court. The conviction rate of military courts? 99.73. Wow. So it's over. So it's over. It's over. Right. But it also raises the question, is every Palestinian guilty? Or is there something wrong with the court? Right. And my whole point was just to say, we need to address these issues as a human
Starting point is 01:12:08 rights issue inside of Israel and outside of Israel. And so when I said from the river to the sea, I wasn't calling to destroy Israel. I was calling to create a new idea of what democracy looks like. And for me, democracy is one state and it's not ruled by religion. It's not a Jewish state. It's not a Muslim state. It's not a Christian state, it is, in fact, a secular state. Some people want a two-state solution. You hear that term, two-state solution. Palestinians over here, Israelis over here. I'm not against that in theory.
Starting point is 01:12:33 You just want equality. I just want equality. And the problem is we can't have two states because the Palestinian side, Israel is still building settlements on it. They're still expanding. It would be like if me and you were sharing a pizza, and we're like, how are we going to slice the pizza?
Starting point is 01:12:48 This way, this way, this way. And as we debate how to slice the pizza, I keep eating slices. At some point, ain't that enough? You know what I mean? So that's the point. So I'm advocating for one state for everybody. I don't want any harm to happen to Jewish people. I'm just saying that we don't need a religious state to protect people.
Starting point is 01:13:03 At some point, you have to choose between a religious state and a democratic state. Were you surprised at CNN when you got that information that you would no longer be working there? Yeah! Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:14 I just got my house remodeled. You know? That's their buying. That wasn't a huge check. Come on, stop. I'm trying to build a case. So all you see is... Are you seeking me back?
Starting point is 01:13:24 You f***ing my case up. That wasn't that much money. Yes, it was. So all you seeking legal action? You f***ing my case up. That wasn't that much money. Yes, it was. So are you seeking legal action? My children are hungry. So I'm guessing you're seeking legal action. I'm not pursuing illegal action right now for reasons I won't say on camera,
Starting point is 01:13:36 but it's nothing that deep. You know, me and CNN are going to part ways, and I'm going to move on and find something else and think about other stuff. As long as they do the right thing. As long as they do the right thing. As long as they do the right thing. And you're still teaching at Temple University. They're standing behind you and saying, listen.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Are they standing behind you? So. I didn't think they were. They released a statement yesterday. They released a statement yesterday saying that they won't be firing me. That was dope. Thank you. Yeah, but they don't agree with what you said.
Starting point is 01:13:59 But they condemn me. Now, here's the thing. I'm a tenured professor, and tenure essentially means that I can't be fired. Right. Hold on. Talk that talk. Now, so you can't be fired? I want to be a tenured radio personality. How does that work? That you can't be fired? It's the job. But the logic of tenure is so that you can have academic freedom. So typically what happens is there's a period where you're on the tenure track. Some schools is four years. Most schools is seven. At that point, your colleagues, both at the school and around the country or the world, period where you're on the tenure track. Some schools it's four years, most schools it's seven. At that point, your colleagues,
Starting point is 01:14:27 both at the school and around the country or the world, decide whether your research or scholarship is sufficient enough to merit tenure. And if they vote yes, you get that. In addition to tenure to higher levels, like full professor, all that stuff. I'm tenured, I'm a full professor, and I have an endowed chair.
Starting point is 01:14:42 I'm literally the highest ranking professor at Temple University. And so they technically, it shouldn't even be a conversation about it, but they decided to make it a conversation. They decided to say, well, what you did wasn't free speech, it was hate speech. Really? There was nothing hateful in my speech. It was a criticism of the Israeli government.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Second, the river to the sea, even if you disagree with my idea of a one-state solution, that doesn't mean you're trying to destroy anything. People have been saying river to the Sea for over almost 100 years, and it's not just Hamas, it's not just the groups that they call terrorists that are doing this. They all say it. But what I'm saying is, if I did harm, if there were people who felt that that was a harmful phrase and that it was offensive, I said I apologize.
Starting point is 01:15:20 So I don't want any harm or any danger to happen. But we can't be in a moment where every time we criticize Israel, we're considered to be anti-Semitic. Everybody, all Jewish people don't think the same. There comes a point in your life and in your work where you have to take a principled stand, and some people aren't going to agree with you. I stand with a firm critique of Israel. I stand in solidarity with Palestinian people, and I also stand against anti-Semitism. Those aren't competing claims.
Starting point is 01:15:46 You know, I mean, you can you can you can love Jewish people and say that Jewish lives are not worth more than Palestinian lives. The Israeli lives are not worth more than Palestinian lives. And I can say also that everybody who criticizes Israel doesn't hate Jews. And I would hope that most don't. When I'm watching people being killed and maimed and I'm watching this, there's no way I can see that and not speak out against it. All right, we got more with Mark Lamont here. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Mark Lamont Hill in the building. You mentioned before you said the Nation of Islam was upset with it. Why were they upset with what you said? Well, the Nation wasn't upset with me.
Starting point is 01:16:22 They were upset with a headline that came out that said, you know, Hill renounces Farrakhan and da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Farrakhan's anti-Semitic remarks. Right. Right. And it was an interview where somebody was asking me questions, and then they didn't write back what I said. And, in fact, the headline didn't even match the quote. But the problem is people don't. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:42 They don't read the whole article. They read the headline. They read the headline. And then they decide the headline is what happened. They read one line from a speech don't. Right. They don't read the whole article. They read the headline. They read the headline. And then they decide the headline is what happened. They read one line from a speech. Right. Right. So I'm getting emails, you ain't shit.
Starting point is 01:16:51 Or, assalamu alaikum, you ain't shit. Right? You know what I'm saying? And I'm like, bro, did you just read the headline? I've been standing in this tradition my whole life. There is this weird litmus test that gets applied to Farrakhan and Farrakhan only, which is problematic. Again, do I have disagreements with the minister?
Starting point is 01:17:10 Absolutely. When I met with the minister, the day that they took that photo, and other people were there. I was there, right? Yeah, I didn't want to say that. I don't care. I don't do that. I don't snitch on people. I took a picture, too. Other people were there.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Right. That was his cue. I've't snitch on people. I took a picture, too. Right, right. A lot of people were there. Right. I was like, a lot of people were there. That was his cue. I've had the men up there twice. That's what I'm saying. So a lot of people were there, and we were listening to his album. So that was the context. It wasn't a secret black people meeting, but we were plotting on destroying the white man.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Right. Right. That doesn't happen somewhere else. That was another thing. Yes. Exactly. So I met, and when we spoke that evening, we talked about many issues. And the first thing Minister Farrakhan said to me is, brother, you are my brother, and I love you, and I know we disagree on many issues.
Starting point is 01:17:52 And two of the key issues we disagree on, one was the question of anti-Semitism, what constitutes it, and what the boundaries are. And the other thing was LGBT issues, right? And we could talk and we'd debate. But for some reason, if you meet with Minister Farrakhan and you don't throw him away, then you're castigated in a way that doesn't happen with anybody else. I worked on Fox News for many years. No one ever said, why are you meeting, why are you sitting with Bill O'Reilly? Why are you sitting with Sean Hannity?
Starting point is 01:18:20 Why are you sitting with Ann Coulter? No one ever said that. And I'm not comparing Farrakhan to them except to say that if you think they're extremists, well, I think they're extremists. Absolutely. So why is only one set of people untouchable?
Starting point is 01:18:31 And why does every black leader have to ritually denounce Farrakhan in order to sustain a position? You know what I mean? That's real. That doesn't happen to anybody else. Again, Minister Farrakhan
Starting point is 01:18:41 is my brother. We don't agree on some issues. They try to say, well, we make Republicans denounce extremist Republican leaders. Farrakhan is my brother. We don't agree on some issues. They try to say, well, we make Republicans denounce extremist Republican leaders. Farrakhan's not a Democratic leader. Farrakhan's not a Democrat. Farrakhan's not a liberal. Minister Farrakhan
Starting point is 01:18:54 on issues of whether it's gay marriage, whether it's self-help, I mean, these in many ways are far more conservative and right-wing messages than they are left-wing messages. Minister Farrakhan doesn't operate in a political tradition. He operates in a spiritual and religious black nationalist tradition. This isn't about Minister Farrakhan's ideology. The question is, why does he get positioned as the brook of fire through which everybody has to pass?
Starting point is 01:19:13 Yeah. And I'm saying the whole idea of it is absurd. I oppose anti-Semitism. I oppose homophobia. And I oppose rampant capitalism. I oppose patriarchy. I oppose transfer. All these things.
Starting point is 01:19:24 And whatever traditions are supporting those things, I'm going to push back and challenge. But in a black tradition, I ain't got the luxury of throwing people who love us away. We can't do that. We shouldn't do that. What about people who support Trump then? Because, you know, we want people to denounce Trump. To what extent do I want people to denounce Trump? I don't necessarily
Starting point is 01:19:40 want people to denounce Trump. I want to know what people's politics are. Trump is just a proxy for that. The other thing is, I didn't vote for Minister Farrakhan. I didn't vote want people to denounce Trump. I want to know what people's politics are. Trump is just a proxy for that. The other thing is I didn't vote for Minister Farrakhan. I didn't vote for these other people. We can have a room full of black people that look at the world differently. And we can still love each other, support each other, and move toward a project of freedom. Let me be very clear, though. There's no project of freedom that I want to be a part of that doesn't liberate disabled people.
Starting point is 01:20:01 That doesn't liberate the elderly. That doesn't liberate queer folk. That doesn't liberate the elderly. It doesn't liberate queer folk. It doesn't liberate trans folk. For me, that's all part of the project. All black lives matter, and we have to include all of them. So even as I'm pushing back and debating with people, some things are non-negotiable. But the conversation we can have,
Starting point is 01:20:17 and we can keep going, especially if I know you love us. That's what matters to me. Where is the Black People's Anti--defamation league? And because we need these organizations to come to your defense in times like this. We absolutely do. And I think there's a bigger question around nation building, having our own institutions. That's the key. But for me, it's less a question of how can I be defended when I get thrown
Starting point is 01:20:45 off of a network for something that I think was unfair, and more is how can we create spaces where we have our own voice, where we can't get thrown off all the time. We can't get thrown away so easily. Because that's the point. Because at some point, everybody has a politics, and no institution
Starting point is 01:21:02 is going to give you space to articulate a vision of the world that's going to undermine their power. Yeah. So at some point, we got to create those things for ourselves. Why don't you think
Starting point is 01:21:09 they do that? Scared to lose their job? The black people on CNN have showed me love. Right. And they have been as passionate and as committed
Starting point is 01:21:18 to making moves as I could have expected. And I mean that with, I would say all except maybe one person who didn't do what I thought they should do. Who was that person?
Starting point is 01:21:27 Uh, you know, but, but, but, Okay. But, but, but everybody else has been, has shown so much. I mean, Angela has, has been a rider.
Starting point is 01:21:37 You know, Angela don't care. Angela be hanging out the car with the gun ready to go. Exactly. And I love her for that, man. And that's the thing. Like, you gotta love freedom more than you love these jobs.
Starting point is 01:21:45 You know, you got to. And if you don't, then what you in this for? Man, I saw a quote yesterday from James Outcher. I want to read it to you real quick. It was so real. He said, if you can't walk away from a negotiation, then you aren't negotiating. You're just working out the terms of your slavery. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:22:01 And that's real. Word. And sometimes we are a slave to a job because we need the money or because we're addicted to the attention of it. Who am I without this job? Y'all know people like that. Absolutely. You know, they have no identity outside of being the person that gets recognized.
Starting point is 01:22:15 You know what I mean? And if that's your whole goal, that's the end, then you're a slave. It's the mentality, though, that we've been raised upon. And that's part of the problem. That's part of capitalism, too. Your sense of self is measured by how much stuff you got. Now, for you, I'm sure, or maybe not, but have a lot of people been reaching out now. Mark Lamont Hill is available.
Starting point is 01:22:35 So do you have a lot of news outlets trying to get you to come here? Or has it been? No, it's been an interesting mix. I've gotten calls from a bunch of networks, actually. I have a lot of projects that I'm doing and I'm just interested
Starting point is 01:22:48 in doing other stuff, too. Basketball Wives reunion? Oh, you know, that's the height of it. That's that moment where you just gotta be like, look, I just needed to get that. I just needed that check.
Starting point is 01:22:56 You know, we support your opinion on anything and everything. We always give you this outlet. Yeah, we know your voice isn't necessary. We know you're not hateful towards, you know, Israel or any other group of people.
Starting point is 01:23:09 So how do people support Markle and One Hill going forward? I want people to not support me, but support these causes. People can support me by reading international news or by supporting ideas. Well, definitely we'll do you at the book club again. Yes, I love doing it. You do this book club and you rep the New York Public Library, right? Yes, I'm an ambassador for the New York Public Library. That's what we need to be doing. Celebrities, if we could get back, I don't know who got run, but if we could just get back to books again.
Starting point is 01:23:30 Do you feel comfortable at Temple? Now that you know that they have condemned your statements? He has tenure. He's fine. But still, do you feel comfortable there? Comfortable? I hope that cooler heads will prevail and we'll be able to have some peace and some dialogue. But the idea that I'm being condemned for my speech scares me a little bit. Not what it's going to do to me personally,
Starting point is 01:23:49 but the idea that universities are condemning people for their words. That's the place where they should be allowing that type of freedom of expression. Exactly. Even if you think I'm wrong and crazy, as long as I'm not doing harm, there has to be space to have that conversation. There has to be space to have resistance. There has to be space to have that conversation. It has to be space to have resistance. It has to be space to debate. And without that, again, we throw things away.
Starting point is 01:24:09 We live in an age of disposability. How many times have you looked on the Internet where somebody who we love and support will say one tweet or one quote, and they cancel? I get canceled every year, Mark. I get canceled every month. You know what I mean? And it's like, and then next week, next week, they'll love you again. But the idea that our first idea is to drag people. Even say you want to drag them on social media.
Starting point is 01:24:28 We're going to call them out. Don't call people out. Call people in this idea of always throwing away history or throwing away people, throwing bad ideas, throwing away contradictions. That's not what black people do. We always loved America into a new sense of self and loved each other into a new sense of possibility. And if we start doing what they do, and by they, I mean
Starting point is 01:24:46 people in power, we're no better than them. They don't throw each other away, though. No! They throw everybody else away. They hold on to each other where they can be the worst possible crimes committed, and they hold on to each other. And then we vote for them. Yeah. I just don't want people to think you're anti-Semitic moving forward. I don't either. That's the biggest...
Starting point is 01:25:02 I'm like, yo, he's not anti-Semitic. No! And it's hurtful on a personal level because I'm not. But I also am not I, that's the biggest, I'm like, yo, he's not anti-Semitic. No, and it's hurtful on a personal level because I'm not, but I also am not willing, in addition to that, I'm not willing to stop criticizing empire. I'm not willing to stop criticizing colonialism, because if we stop doing that, then, you know,
Starting point is 01:25:17 power wins, and if power wins and we're all vulnerable, maybe not us in this room, we'll be okay, but the rest of the world won't be, and we gotta fight for the rest of, we gotta fight for the vulnerable. Alright, it's Mark Lamont Hill, It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Alright, morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Starting point is 01:25:35 Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Hello. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Gucci and Walker. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Well, if you guys remember, Waka Flaka had reached out to Gucci Mane via Instagram to try to heal their relationship. They were such a tight, they had such a tight friendship for such a long time.
Starting point is 01:26:02 They were like brothers. Here's what Waka said. If we ever had problems, beef, anything, I'm telling you right now, for me, bro, it's all. You know how to get me, big dog. You call me. Nobody else. All right. Well, Gucci did respond and let people know that they did actually come back together. We spoke one time after that. I reached out to him. You know, him going on the internet like that, I reached out because I thought it was urgent. You know, I'm thinking it was something. You know, I'm like, let me reach out now
Starting point is 01:26:29 because I want to know. If you're reaching out like that, that publicly let me call him. So we called and had that conversation. We got everything in the past now. Well, that's dope. That shows you that they have genuine love for each other because if Gucci didn't rock with Waka at all,
Starting point is 01:26:41 he wouldn't have picked up the phone to say, yo, I thought it was urgent, so I wanted to see what was up. Because even if you're in a person not friends, if y'all really got love for each other when something goes down, you're going to be there for that person. All right. Now, let's talk about Kid Cudi. He is going to be on a Red Table Talk in an upcoming episode.
Starting point is 01:26:56 And during the preview, they release, he talks about his mental health struggles. I was really good at keeping my troubles hidden. And it's like scary because it's when you hear people say like, well, I had no clue. It's sometimes, but I let them know that it's not their fault. That's right. You know, it was me. You know, I really went out my way to keep what I was going through hidden because I was ashamed. Yep. And he also said that he, you know, was dealing with depression and suicidal urges, and he had to check himself into rehab. You know how many people Kid Cudi has saved?
Starting point is 01:27:31 You know how many people I know who have told me that they didn't kill themselves because of Kid Cudi's music and because of Kid Cudi talking about his experiences with depression? My man Pete Davidson is one of them. That's dope. All right, and J. Cole talks about how Logic, I mean Logic, Logic talks about how J. Cole helped him as far as dealing with trolling and people thinking that he's corny. Now he told Billboard that he had a phone call with J. Cole,
Starting point is 01:27:53 and he said, I was like, it's just so effed up that people can think I'm this way or that way. I'm a good man. Why would someone talk ish about me? And J. Cole said, well, why do you care? And Logic said, why do I care that that person said my music isn't that good, that I'm an F-boy or I'm corny or I'm a hypebeast? Why does it matter? And J. Cole said, are you corny?
Starting point is 01:28:11 No, I write from the heart. But why does it hurt when someone says it about you? I guess it hurts because they don't really know who I am. Well, why do you need that person to really know who you are? Because I feel like if they know who I am, then they'll like me. Why do you need that person to like you? I guess I don't need them to like me. I just want them to like me.
Starting point is 01:28:26 Logic should have said, J. Cole, you sound like a real F boy right now. Why do you keep telling me how I should feel? Okay, but he's right, though. You know what I'm saying? You can't worry about the opinions of ghosts. These people don't even know you. But it's just an opinion at the end of the day. I just want to know why are our brains wired to focus on negative instead of positive?
Starting point is 01:28:44 We can look at everybody saying good stuff about us and focus on the one person saying something negative. All right, at the end of the day, we're all not going to agree with anybody 100%. So just focus on the people who are supportive of you and the people who aren't, I mean, bye. Yeah, and my therapist told me the technical term for that, the reason why our brains focus on the negative and not the positive, and I can't remember.
Starting point is 01:29:03 I have to look at my notes. All right, well, I'm Angela Ye. I have to look at my notes. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. Is negative brain dissonance, consonant? Sounds like you have a negative brain. It's constipation. I don't remember. It sounds like you got a lot of negative brain.
Starting point is 01:29:17 Man, shut up. All right. All right. Revolt, we'll see you guys in the new year. I think Revolt is gone until January sometime. So, Revolt, man, everybody upstairs, we appreciate you. Don't stop laughing.
Starting point is 01:29:27 No, no, no. You know what's crazy? Oh, boy. What did I just say about Gucci Man and Flocker? What? I said if somebody hits you and they say it's very,
Starting point is 01:29:34 very urgent, call me back. Somebody who I ain't been responding to in a while just hit me and was like, yo, please, bro, whenever you free, please call me.
Starting point is 01:29:41 It's very, very, very urgent. Oh, Christmas time? You know what that's about? That ain't working. All right. The People's Choice mixes up know what that's about. That ain't working. Not right. The People's Choice Mix is up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
