Maybe you're just not funny.
That could be it.
Like, come on.
You ever thought about that, Steve?
Did that ever cross your mind?
And we're always nervous that Steve is going to do something crazy.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He's definitely the type.
He fits the profile.
He definitely fits the profile.
He might flip out.
He might have just flipped out.
And something's wrong.
He's just very, is self-loathing the right word?
Self-deprecating.
Self-deprecating.
Do you have that one person at work that's always negative?
Ah.
Negative Nancy.
I come in, it's Friday, I feel good, I'm happy.
Sour Steve.
Smokey Robinson's going to be on the show this morning.
Yes.
And here comes Steve.
Talking about, don't you hate when people don't get your jokes?
No, Steve, I don't.
I don't care.
It means it wasn't funny trying to get.
Maybe you just weren't funny.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, like you said, Smokey Robinson will be joining us this morning.
Yes, he will.
Tell your grandma.
Tell your horny ass grandma to get ready.
And your mama.
Nah, mama's too young for Smokey.
Some of them mamas out there.
I don't know.
That's grandma.
Smokey's 76, bro.
First of all, everybody loves Smokey, though.
Smokey lived through segregation.
My girl, my girl, talking about mine.
They know my girl.
They know it, but to be in love with Smokey,
to really appreciate that beige skin and them green eyes,
you got to be somebody great grandma or grandma.
I tried to do a Smokey mix, but they shut me down.
What is a Smokey mix?
Smokey Robinson, some of the records he did, that were big. Some of his huge songs. Yes. How? How was he going to do a Smokey mix, but they shut me down. What is a Smokey mix? Smokey Robinson, some of the records he did, that were big.
Some of his huge songs?
Yes.
How?
How was he going to do that?
What do you mean, how?
His songs are still out now.
They still use them in commercials all the time.
My Girl, Cruisin'.
What else?
Tears of a Clown.
Tears of a Clown.
All right.
They said no.
Just to see her.
WBLS, the best thing.
Being with you.
It's not an urban infestation, bro.
I took my mom to see Smokey Robinson.
I was going to play a couple cuts so people know what he did.
I took my mom to see Smokey Robinson.
She was so excited.
And there were a lot of songs that I was like, oh, I forgot Smokey did this song.
Oh, that's Smokey Robinson.
Don't them old ladies be throwing their panties at Smokey?
They don't do that anymore.
That's some big draws going up there, boy.
Diapers.
You guys are disrespectful.
I'm embarrassed.
Well, Smokey will be joining us.
You should start Googling now to hear his music.
Listen, your mama know who he is.
Your daddy know who he is.
Your granddad know who he is.
Your grandma know who he is.
You should know who he is.
If you don't, you're going to learn today.
If you never saw the Temptations movie, I mean.
Come on.
Come on.
They didn't see that.
Who didn't see it? It comes on TV all the time.
David Ruffin, them?
I don't think people see that.
I tell kids all the time, though.
Are you serious?
Yes.
You have to learn, okay?
Sometimes.
You guys do your Googles.
Sit down with the elders and listen to the elders talk.
You guys, can you please tweet Charlamagne and Envy and let them know that, yes, you
know who Smokey Robinson is, and yes, you have seen the Temptations movie.
I'm sure some people do, but I'm sure a lot of people don't.
That's ridiculous.
I never assume everybody knows everything. That's just ridiculous I'm sure some people do, but I'm sure a lot of people don't. That's ridiculous. I never assume everybody
knows everything. That's just ridiculous.
There's some people that are legends, though.
He's definitely a legend.
Definitely a legend. There's a lot of legends
these kids don't know either.
People know Diana Ross.
They know Aretha Franklin.
I bet you know this generation know Tracy
Ellis Ross more than they know Diana.
That's fine, but I think people know who they are.
Maybe.
I wouldn't say they don't know who they are.
Well, he's the father of all light skin out there, so he'll be joining us this morning.
The king of all waffle-colored Negroes.
The khaki-colored king.
That's right.
Charlamagne tried to slip a question in because he thinks that Envy just reads whatever's on the sheet in front of him.
I did.
So he put a question on DJ Envy's notes.
I told Envy that Smokey Robinson,
Nicole Richie was Smokey Robinson's daughter.
I thought he was going to.
You thought he was going to ask the question,
but he caught it.
I was like, well, who wrote this question?
This question is dumb for dweebs.
Anyway, let's get the show cracking.
Front page news, what are we talking about?
Yes, we will talk about President Obama.
His personal email is among WikiLeaks document dump.
Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Everybody, it's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, last night and Thursday night, football.
The Packers beat the Bears 26-10.
Now, the Cubs beat the Dodgers 8-4 to lead the series 3-2.
Now, Trump and Hillary were at dinner together?
Well, it's a charity dinner.
It's a tradition, all right?
And normally it's not the two candidates going at each other,
but last night that's pretty much what it was with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Check it out.
Donald wanted me drug tested before last night's debate.
And look, I got to tell you, I am so flattered that Donald thought I used some sort of performance
enhancer. It's called preparation. And looking back, I've had to listen to Donald for three
full debates. And he says, I don't have any stamina. I have now stood next to Donald Trump
longer than any of his campaign managers.
She threw some good jokes out there.
Yeah, Donald Trump's jokes are really harsh, though, I feel like, because he's just...
Because he's offensive.
He already has the perception of being offensive, so nothing he said sounds funny.
Like, even if he's just trying to be funny, it still sounds like just straight-up offensive.
Sounds nasty.
That's why. That's all it is.
Do we have anything from Donald Trump?
Yeah, we do.
I called Hillary a nasty woman, but this stuff is all relative. After listening to Hillary rattle on,
I don't think so badly of Rosie O'Donnell anymore. I'm actually starting to like Rosie a lot,
and I got the chance to meet the people who are working so hard to get her elected. The heads of
NBC, CNN, there's the New York Times right over there,
and the Washington Post.
They're working overtime.
One thing about Donald Trump, he is consistent.
He's unapologetically a douche at all times.
Absolutely.
He never strays away from the douchiness of being Donald Trump.
That is absolutely, positively who he is.
Now, what info leaked yesterday?
Well, they said some of Obama's personal emails
are among these WikiLeaks documents.
And the
email address that was listed is
bobama at ameritech.net
It's from the period
immediately before his election as president
when he still had his BlackBerry.
What the hell is Ameritech?
I don't know. I guess it's the place where he worked.
Man. That must be something a place where he worked.
Man.
I don't know.
That must be something that only government officials got, Ameritech. Now, these emails were not hacked from White House servers,
but as part of a wider hack of these emails that were published by WikiLeaks.
Now, CNN cannot confirm the authenticity,
but they have not challenged any emails in other WikiLeaks releases
like Hillary Clinton's email, so people feel like this is, you know.
I wonder what kind of storage Barack Obama got in his
email. Because you know how he got Gmail
accounts? Yeah, and we're always
almost out of storage. I wonder if he got like unlimited
storage. I wonder if people send him
music. You say what? I wonder if people send him
music. Like how they send us music all
the time. Like, yo, President Obama,
check out this track. Barack Obama has
no idea what a SoundCloud is.
No.
Absolutely.
He has playlists on Spotify.
I don't know.
If you ask Barack
what a SoundCloud is,
he'll say call NASA.
I think he knows.
What is these new clouds
that are forming?
Well, you know you can
pay for storage, right?
You know you can pay
for extra storage
so you have enough
so it doesn't say.
I ain't got time
for extra bills.
I got zero dollars
in my checking account
right now.
That's a lot.
I ain't got time for that.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Tell them why you're mad.
800-585-1051.
Negative 530, matter of fact. You are lying. Tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. Negative 530, matter of fact.
You are lying.
Tell them why you're mad.
If you're upset, you need to vent.
Maybe you have a negative in your account.
800-585-1051.
Maybe you need to vent.
Maybe you're pissed off.
Whatever it may be, call us up right now.
Vent live on air.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, yo.
This is DMX. You know what makes me mad? We ask for the truth, yo, this is DMX.
You know what makes me mad?
When people ask for the truth but can't handle the truth.
Now tell them why you mad on The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Hello, who's this?
This is Alisa in North Carolina.
Good morning, Mama.
Why are you mad this morning?
I'm mad because I'm waiting for my brothers to stand up and pull some of our young women back
and say, looky here, sis, you too good for that.
We have our women actually showing their you-know-whats up into the camera,
swinging all around poles for a song or a commercial or whatever.
We've always respected our men, regardless of what we might say out of our face.
And what you all say goes, really, ultimately.
And if a brother would really stand up and say,
sis, look, no, you know, it's good that you look good and all that,
but you don't have to show every bump your mama gave you.
By the way, you're absolutely right,
but guys have been doing that in the script club for years.
You know how many times you done pulled a script to the side and said,
baby, you don't have to be here.
See, they're all up on the camera now in the faces, in the commercials.
They're actual you-know-what in the camera, just like that man Trump is saying.
What more can we expect if this is what we're presenting?
I mean, you know, there's a place for everything.
I understand that people like to get off whatever way they get off.
I was young one time.
I understand.
You was young one time, baby.
You used to show your ass, too.
I don't think that's the only representation that we have.
That was when the belly buttons just started.
You know, honey, I got me some of them low riding, hip hugging kind of things.
You know, mama can't hang.
I understand.
How old are you, mama?
How old are you, mama?
How old are you, mama? I hate that you, Mama? How old are you, Mama?
Expression, because that came from Bush at the end of the day.
I hate that.
That's so overdone now.
Old lady, you can't hear us, baby.
How old are you, Mama?
I don't tell my age.
That's a big problem with me down here, because everybody down here, I'm so-and-so, and I'm
29 and 84.
I feel like it's your business, okay? I'm whatever age
I feel like today. Maybe.
Grandma. I feel like 40.
Just let her go. Let her go. Smokey Robinson
gonna be on next hour, Grandma, just for you.
I love him. Thank you so much. I love
you guys. I've been trying to get through
for so long, but I didn't have
all this to say then. God knows what
to do and when to do it. There you go.
You have a great weekend. God is everything.
The rotary phones was hard to get through.
Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up, bro? It's Jay.
Jay, tell them why you mad, bro. Hey, yo, can I
can I spit some bars for you guys? No.
Nope. Yes, come on, let's hear it.
I promise you'll like it. Let's go.
I don't want to hear these 90s struggle bars, bro.
Yo, check this.
My boy Charlamagne's
a jerk, but that's okay.
I'd rather have a real jerk than a phony any day.
My boy DJ Envy be getting the crowd up in the air
like them hats at graduation that the graduates wear.
Oh!
Last but not least, Angela Yee.
I love you, boo.
You got such a good heart.
You make anybody melt on the inside like a Pop-Tart.
But I'm going to try to go because y'all got a show to do.
Bars, bars, bars.
Part on his bars, please.
I need a lot of ass gas.
I need at least three to four
ass gases letting off right now.
Part on his bars.
Bars, alright.
Tell them why you mad.
805-85-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent,
you can call us at any time. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
That was Drake Controller. Morning, everybody. It's DJ
MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
N'Gaia. We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, again, Smokey Robinson
will be joining us next hour. He's the
king of all light-skinned men. He is definitely
the king of all khaki-colored Negroes.
All horny-ass grandmas tune in at 7.
And mamas.
You ain't had that feeling in your stomach?
The mamas got to be late 50s in they 60s, bro.
To really appreciate Smokey.
To really appreciate Smokey and love him the way...
Put it like this.
All you girls that love the Drakes now and the Trey songs,
when y'all like 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s
That's how your mama didn't feel about Smokey right now
He was the original hot dog
I text my mom a picture with Smokey
And she goes, Smokey!
That's her text, Smokey!
Real talent
That's what she texts back
My mom asked for an autograph
I said, Mom, they don't do autographs anymore
That's what we takes back. My mom asked for an autograph. I said, Mom, they don't do autographs anymore. I said, there's nothing to sign. That's what you got pictures for, Mom.
Yeah, that's what we got pictures for, Mom. And just last year, BET
gave him the Lifetime Achievement Award also.
That's what somebody just told us on Twitter. They said, I mean,
I know Smokey because of the award shows
and my girl.
He wrote my girl.
He actually wrote like
4,000 songs in his career.
And salute to Redhead Diva on Twitter. She said that
Ameritech, that email that Barack Obama has, she said that
was actually their phone company
in Chicago, like AT&T. Oh, okay.
That definitely probably was Barack Obama's email. Right.
Alright, well, we got rumors on the way,
Yee? Yes, let's talk about
Kanye versus Jay-Z.
Where did this all go wrong? We'll tell you
what the update is. A little crazy.
I never expected this. Alright,
we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is The Rumor Report
with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
Kanye West was performing in Seattle at the Key Arena,
and he had some things to say about Apple vs. Tidal,
about different albums, about Watch the Throne,
about his relationship with Jay-Z.
Here's how it started when he talks about the album PopStyle.
I started freestyling to it.
Jay thought of a couple lines.
I said, man, just go ahead and throw that on there.
I was just so surprised. And we sent it back to him. And he's like, man, just go ahead and throw that on there. Now, I'm just so surprised.
And we sent it back to him.
And he's like, oh, shit.
The door is on this shit.
Then Jay thought about it out of respect for Big Mils.
He didn't want to be on the track.
And I said, look, I called Drake.
I called me.
I called y'all.
We got to squash the shit out of them people.
We had to song.
But then it went out of that territory.
It went into shitcentages on songs.
I can't take this s***, bro.
All right, so we're trying to get Jay-Z on the pop style song on Drake's album.
And I guess because of respect for Meek Mill, Jay-Z couldn't do it.
Jay gave him a bar?
A bar or two on that record?
Like, what's the difference?
All right, well, he goes on to talk about Watch the Throne and issues with that and Apple versus Tidal.
Here's what he had to say.
Let me tell y'all something.
There will never be a Watch the Throne 2.
You know why?
Because that's the reason why I wasn't on the song.
I wasn't on the song because of the whole.
Because of Tidal, Apple, Bulls.
And this shit is getting me tight every time I perform this mother.
Did y'all didn't get what y'all
was supposed to get when me and Drake on this
song because it's some title Apple Bulls
shit. I don't understand
how that makes sense though because it's not
going to be a Watch the Throne 2 but it's going to be
an album with you and Drake. Ain't Drake on
Apple and you with title so what's the difference?
Like I don't get it. Wouldn't it make more sense
for him to do a Watcher Throne 2 with Jay
because they're both through title?
Like, I don't understand how that Apple title beef comes into play with that.
I don't know.
Especially if you and Drake are playing on doing an album.
But the real situation, it seems like, is also what he had to say right here
about his relationship with Jay-Z.
Call me after the robbery.
Say how you feeling.
You want to know how I'm feeling?
Come by the house.
Like me Brothers.
This is Z-Gen.
Next week.
First of all, he's a little mad.
Is there any more?
Well, he just, he said our kids ain't even never played together.
Listen, man, friends don't air out friends publicly.
Same way you wanted Jay to come by your crib, you know, after the robbery.
If you had an issue, you could have called him and told him you had an issue.
Okay?
I mean, and didn't he say
Jay called him? Yeah, he said he wanted him to come
by. He wanted him to come
over, I guess. He felt like, if your
friends come over. Listen,
I truly feel sorry for what happened to
Kim Kardashian, and I wouldn't wish that on nobody,
but what you want Jay to do, bring you some soup?
Like, Jay from Marcy, if he had to visit
every friend and family member he knows that
got robbed, he wouldn't have time to be Jay-Z.
Like, he called you.
Like, what more do you want?
Like, am I missing something in here?
But beyond that, if we are friends, don't talk about it in public.
Listen, friends do not air out friends publicly.
Call me, yo.
I feel the way.
Why didn't you come see me, my G?
You could have came and seen me.
It would mean a lot to me and the wife if you came by.
Word up.
Call the phone.
Send a text or email.
You know, air it out for the public to see.
Friends do not air our friends publicly.
It's hard to come back from that, bro.
It's hard to come back from that.
But I see that a lot.
That's not stand-up people.
Stand-up people don't talk about friends in public.
That's whack.
I don't agree with that.
Whack!
Well, I was reading Page Six, right, in the New York Post.
And according to a source, it said Jay-Z is just sick of Kanye West after that rant especially.
Their friendship was never really what it seemed.
Jay really can't take him in large doses,
only in small doses he can tolerate him.
And when they did watch The Throne,
they went on tour
and there was just a lot of money to be made.
So he said, I'm going to knock this out.
I can tolerate him for that period of time
because it's business,
but he doesn't really like to be around him too much.
I can see that. Because they're very different. Jay but he doesn't really like to be around him too much. I can see that.
Because they're very different.
Jay-Z just doesn't want to have everybody in his circle.
He's very private.
He likes his space, and Kanye likes to be in the spotlight.
Yeah, I love Kanye.
I love his passion, but nah, bro.
Friends don't air our friends publicly, period.
Okay.
Now, Ciara has dropped her defamation lawsuit against Future,
so that's good news.
Now, we already told you the judge already said that they haven't seen how she's been damaged.
Her career has been damaged by his words against her.
So it already didn't seem like she was going to win that defamation lawsuit.
But now it seems that she's dropped that whole lawsuit.
She hasn't suffered financially.
And the other rumor is, of course, that she's pregnant.
All right.
E! News is reporting that the happy couple is expecting a child.
So, Ciara and Russell Wilson are allegedly expecting a child.
According to E! News, Ciara is pregnant and she's so excited to be a mom again.
Congrats to them.
And her and Russell Wilson would like to have two to three children.
They both would like a big family.
Got them.
Drop one of the clues, Bob, for Ciara.
God damn it.
What's her?
How many?
Russell Simmons contract.
Crazy.
Hold on.
Let me see.
Russell Wilson. Yeah, Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson. My dumb, too? Hold on, let me see. Russell Wilson.
Yeah, Russell Wilson.
Russell Wilson.
My dumb ass damn sure Googled Russell Simmons just now.
Russell Wilson.
Russell Simmons.
I mean, Russell Wilson got a net worth of how much money?
All right, let's see if you would do it.
$87.6 million.
Okay.
Look up futures net worth.
I just want to see.
No need.
No need for you to do that.
Russell Wilson did a four-year deal, $87.6 million in 2015.
The deal includes a $31 million signing bonus
and guaranteed money of over $61 million.
Drop on the Clues bombs for Ciara.
Ciara, you don't never, ever, ever have to whisper
over another record a day in your life.
She enjoys it.
Leave her alone.
You don't ever have to screech over another record a day in your life.
You are good out here.
You hear me?
And you don't have to worry about Charlamagne
ever trying to slander you again
because all you got to do is throw some money in the air.
Put it on the gram.
What?
You go in on her all the time.
I'm happy for her now.
She won.
She won at life.
She can make whatever music she wants to do.
No, she can't.
No, she can't.
No, she can't.

What does it say?
I Googled Revolt net worth, and it said Chingy.

Thank you very much.
76 years old.
My brother, 76, never looked so good, man.
What's the secret, man?
Water.
I know you got a plant-based diet.
What else?
The combination of all that?
No, no, no.
I got a new skin care thing.
Okay, okay.
I think my girl.
Yeah. My girl's for the ladies.
In fact, you know, there you go.
Oh, hey now.
Smokey really got a skin care line.
Yeah, he really does.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, really, for sure, man.
Tell us about the product, man.
And the woman's product is called My Girl,
and the men's product is called Get Ready.
Okay.
It's a very simple regimen, man, and it's for people of color.
And nothing's ever been done like that before.
So people from light, light beige, like my brother over there.
Dog, dog brown, you know.
And it covers 80% of the people on Earth, really.
Yeah, so 24-7 is working on your face.
Well, if you use it, I believe it.
Oh, thank you.
If this is what you've been using, I'm on it.
Okay, how long have you been using this smokey?
Mr. Robinson. Well, we started, no, I'm on it. Okay, how long have you been using this, Smokey? Mr. Robinson.
Well, we started, no, Smokey, man.
Okay.
Please.
Yeah, but we've been working on this the last two years.
That's cool now, but what you been doing the past 74 years?
Okay, before the last two.
I've been living, man.
I want to thank you.
First of all, I took my mom to go see Smokey Robinson last year.
Look, we came back and took a picture with you and everything.
It was, like, incredible.
My mom.
You don't remember her mom, Smokey?
Stop it.
She still talks about it.
She still talks about it to this day.
What are you saying?
Was that 11 or the dozen?
What were you doing?
I'm just saying, you don't remember?
That's why we met his wife as well.
See, I knew he was going to come.
All right, when my mom sees you, she's going to...
I can tell by the tone of his voice that he was going there.
That wasn't right.
Exactly.
But she had the best time.
She was so excited.
My mom was standing up and singing.
You know, I don't do stuff like that with my mom too often,
but she was like, can we please go see Smokey?
So we made it happen.
So thank you.
Incredible.
Yeah, Smokey's still out there a little freaky on that stage.
A little dirty dancing. A little dirty dancing going on.
A little pelvic thrust.
You did show me that video.
You seen the video?
I did see the video.
I was like, that's what I'm talking about.
Did he twerk?
Did he twerk?
Or did he do a stomach roll?
He did a stomach roll.
He was getting down, though.
I remember that.
Now, what do you think about today's artists and today's music?
I think that it's a variety, like it's always been, man.
You know, I'm not one of those people who says that, well, you know,
there's no good music being made today and rap is negative.
You know, I'm not like that, man.
You know, I like what I like.
And, see, I have a really broad musical taste.
You might catch me listening to Bach or Beethoven.
Okay. Or Nelly. Or Nelly. Or 50 Cent. Okay. Or everybody in between. You might catch me listening to Bach or Beethoven. Okay.
Or Nelly.
Or Nelly.
Or 50 Cent.
Okay.
Or everybody in between.
You know what I mean?
I like what I like.
What about 21 Savage or Young Thug?
You listening to them?
I'm not really familiar with them.
Okay.
Yeah.
Now, what about if one of those artists wanted to do a feature with you, Smokey?
Let's say 50 or Nelly called you or 21 Savage and said, hey, I want a Smokey feature.
Would you think about doing a feature?
Well, Nelly and I have actually talked about
that, man. Really? Yeah, you know, so
I told him if he comes up with it, I'll
do it, of course, yeah, because
I enjoy his music. Right.
You know, he's made some music that I really love.
So... You're getting hot in here.
Take off all your clothes. Exactly.
There you go.
So I'm not
one of those people who says, you know, rap is negative and all that.
See, we live in a world right now where the negative gets the attention.
All day long, we are bombarded by negative stuff.
You know, I just think there should be stations, radio and TV stations,
in every city and town, wherever they have TV and radio,
where they've got at least two or three stations that give nothing but good news.
Right.
Yeah, who graduated college.
Yeah, who had a baby.
Who had a baby was born.
Exactly, you know?
But we're bombarded by negativity, so that's what most people do with the music nowadays.
Gravitate to the negative.
And they say, oh, well, it's all negative.
No, it's not.
There's some wonderful music being made.
And there's some wonderful young talent out there.
And I think show business is in really good hands for the future because there's some wonderful young talent out there. And I think Showbiz is in really good hands for the future
because there's some wonderful talent out there.
I think when y'all was coming up, it was more focused on love
and chivalry and stuff like that.
Well, it was, but there's still a lot of love.
It's just different censorship now.
Place Express is a little different now.
Yeah, you can say a little more than you used to be able to say
and get it played, you know what I mean?
Oh, so you're telling me you would have wrote a song like These Holes Ain't Loyal if you could have got it played?
Now, you wrote my girl.
I don't think I would have wrote that.
But I'll give an example of what I'm talking about because I wrote a song called I May Love You a Thousand Times.
And it says, I may love you a thousand times, even if it's only in my mind.
I made love to you a thousand ways,
for a thousand nights and a thousand days.
And the catcher wouldn't play it.
Because he says, Smoke, what do you mean
by you made love a thousand ways?
Whoops, that was too risque.
Different sexual position.
You know what I'm saying?
In my mind, it's masturbation.
Well, that's a self-control thing.
No, that would be, that would be I made love to myself. masturbation but well that's a self-control thing but they would not play because they said it was too risky Wow
nowadays that would be a nerd song about Now, let's talk about your songwriting.
I read somewhere you wrote over 4,000 songs.
Yeah.
That is incredible.
Do you still want to write now?
Do you still want to write for artists now?
I do.
I write all the time.
Really?
Yeah.
Who have you worked with?
Anybody recently?
Well, the last person I worked with was Pharrell.
He was doing a movie.
In fact, his movie's out or coming out very shortly.
You know, the song that I did didn't make it into the movie,
but I was working with him, and we're going to do some
future work together. Now, why the hell didn't your song make
the movie? That was his choice.
He recorded
40 people or 30 people for the
thing. Who for real think he is to not use a
Smokey Robinson song? Well, he
didn't like what he had done. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
He didn't like what he had done, so he told me,
he said, man, he said, I don't like the way this came out.
Gotcha.
So that was it.
And you wrote My Girl for the Temptations.
Yeah, man.
What made you get him that record?
That was a huge record.
Like, why wouldn't you keep something like that for yourself?
Well, I'm glad you asked that, man, because I don't regret that whatsoever.
They were my brothers.
Gotcha.
And I'm very proud and very happy that I got a chance to contribute something positive to their lives and their career, you know.
And so I wrote it for David's voice and for the temptation to sing.
So were it not for them, I probably would have never written My Girl.
My Girl became one of my favorite movies, too, man.
When Thomas J. gets killed by them bees, oh, Lord, I cry so much right now.
Do you have to clear every time My Girl is used, commercials?
Do you own My Girl? Yeah, but I don't have to clear it, thank God. Just use it, because I'm Even to this day. Do you have to clear every time My Girl is used, commercials? Do you own My Girl?
Yeah, but I don't
have to clear it, thank God.
Just use it
because I'm going to get paid.
And check comment.
And check comment.
You know what I mean?
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, just use it.
I don't have to clear it.
What happened to R&B groups,
though?
They're just gone.
Well, I guess time,
you know.
Music goes through phases
like everything else,
you know.
So I guess time just, you know, so I guess time just you know
Move that over for a minute. Did you guys go to like a gifted school or something?
It seems like how is it that this?
Diana Ross lived in the same neighborhood, right?
I've known Diana since she was probably about seven and
She lived four doors down the street from me.
It's really like some outliers type of stuff.
And Aretha Franklin lived right around the corner.
I mean, that's crazy.
Y'all knew each other growing up?
Aretha Franklin is my longest friend who is still alive.
Wow.
I've known her since I was eight years old.
Wow.
And I've known Diana since she was eight.
Something in the water?
Like, what was it?
Something was in the water. Like, what was it? Something in the water. Something was in the water. I believe that in every city, every town,
everywhere where you got people gathered,
ratio-wise, there's probably that same amount of talent.
We had Barry Gordy.
Mm.
So that's what happened with Motown.
All right, we got more with Smokey Robinson
when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
That was Kanye West.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Smokey Robinson is in the building.
Oh, I also wanted to, growing up in Detroit, did you have to fight a lot?
Because, you know, we tease this young man right here because of his skin complexion.
I'm light-skinned.
I'm light-skinned know you got the green eyes like
they test you a lot growing up in detroit well to tell you the truth man yeah i did fight a lot when
i was when i was a kid growing up and but it wasn't about that it was about dudes trying to
take advantage of me you know and so i fought a lot and then i had some some partners man that i
grew up with and a couple of them were lighter than you.
Lighter than me?
Yeah.
They were white then.
They were white, yeah.
You had some white friends.
So I did too.
But anyway, people used to pick on them, you know.
So we had a lot of fights.
And what broke me up from fighting was when I was about 15 years old,
we were playing baseball
against some white boys.
And something happened
whereas one of the white boys
got upset about something
and swung on one of our dudes.
And we had a bat fight.
Wow.
That was the end of it for me
because it was horrible.
You know, it's changed now
because we used to fight.
Nowadays, kids just shoot each other, which is atrocious.
You know, the gun thing is just insane.
But that broke me up from fighting.
How was the police back then, brutality back then?
It was undercover what it is now.
Really?
Oh, absolutely.
I thought it would have just been overt.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It was overt, but I'm saying it wasn't as blatant.
We didn't have social media.
We didn't have cameras on our phones.
So nobody saw what was going on.
I lived in the hood.
I lived in a black neighborhood.
All the cops were white.
I don't even remember seeing a black cop, you know?
And like I said, nowadays, everything, thank God, is revealed.
Did they treat artists any different?
Even though y'all was black, did y'all have any privilege?
We would go down south, man.
We couldn't even use the bathroom.
They had toilets, men, women, and you go around the back,
and it said colored.
And like if you were colored, you weren't a man or a woman
because that was just unisex.
You could just color people, use this bathroom.
Or it was an outhouse.
We've been shot at for wanting to go to the bathroom, man.
It was deep, man.
And that has to be disheartening to go perform after something like that happens yeah and i can't
even use the bathroom in the venue but i gotta get on stage you couldn't even stay in the hotels
none of them we couldn't even stay in the motels you know so it was it was it was deep and it was
it was that's why i said the world has made so much progress right because now it's different
i mean you know you go to the hotels down south now they have black managers right yeah so it's older sometimes too absolutely after the civil rights movement started
and we started doing the city and all that we're going to restaurant and we would sit there for an
hour before somebody come over and say we wish you would leave now what do you want we wish you would
leave hey and we said well we're not gonna leave another i'll go back and somebody comes
say well what you want and you order what you want and then when they brought you what it was
you didn't really want to eat it but it even looked like something that you right
you know what i'm saying but we did it because we're breaking down barriers but we had to
endure we've always endured man you know, since we first were imported over here.
I just finished taping a TV show that's called Who Do You Think You Are?
You know, where you go and they search your heritage.
They tell you who you are, you know.
What are you, Smokey?
You're Native American age.
Sometimes you should say that.
But at the end, they tell you because they've taken your DNA and they tell you everything.
My dad's side of him, which
they didn't do, they just did my mom's side this time.
Tried to look up my dad's
heritage and stuff like that because my dad
ran away from home when he was 12 years old.
Never saw or talked to anyone
in his family from that moment on.
Okay? 12 years old.
Can you imagine that? What would make you run away
from home at 12, though? Well,
it's a deep story, babe, because my dad, when he was 10 years old,
this white man gave him a job delivering newspapers.
So he made 50 cents a month, okay?
Yeah.
So when he was 10, he said that this white boy, who was about 15 at the time,
would be standing there waiting for him to get his 50 cents.
And every time he got it, the boy would take it from him.
Give me that money, Nick.
And he would take it from him because he was bigger than him.
And my dad, like I said, was the youngest.
He had older brothers, but he wouldn't tell them
because they do something to this boy,
they're going to get tired and feathered.
So he wouldn't tell them.
So he said one day he saw a pocket knife,
one of those Boy Scout knives that can't open,
and a knife and all that stuff like that that for two cents. And he bought it.
The boy comes up to him
when he gets his 50 cents and says,
give me that money, Nick. He said, no,
I'm not giving you my money. I ain't giving you my money
ever again. So the boy said,
you don't give me that money. And grabbed him
in the collar and started tossing him around.
He said he just took his knife out and stabbed him all in the legs.
Down there bleeding and crying
and stuff like that. And he started running. He was he just took his knife out and stabbed him all in the legs. Down there bleeding and crying and stuff like that.
And he started running.
He was going home.
I don't know how at 12 years old he was even thinking like this.
He said he thought, if I go home, they're going to come and probably kill everybody in my family.
So he ran to the railroad tracks.
He jumped on a train.
That was it.
Wow.
Wow.
Where'd he go?
First stopped at me.
He said he went to several different cities. The first city he ever settled in, he said when he was 19, was Cleveland. Wow. Wow. Where'd he go? First stop, they made him. He went to several different cities.
The first city he ever settled in,
he said when he was 19,
was Cleveland, Ohio.
Wow.
You know,
but he was just headed north.
So he just went,
that's where he went.
He just rolled around.
That's 12 years old.
Yeah, 12 years old.
He just was fending for himself,
you know.
And so when they did my heritage,
I'm 47% Nigerian.
Wow. That's what my dad was. 47% Nigerian, I'm 47% Nigerian. Wow.
That's what my dad was, 47% Nigerian.
I'm 22% Scandinavian.
They told me that they discovered that some of my relatives were Vikings.
Wow.
I am 15% Portuguese, and the rest is Cherokee.
Cherokee.
Yeah, I can see the Cherokee.
And how'd your credit cards around Smokey?
He's 47% Nigerian.
Now, how did you not grow to hate white people?
Like, I always ask people from that era, like, how did you keep that hate out of you?
I attribute that probably to my mom.
My mom was a real woman.
She would cuss you out in a minute, but she was a church lady.
You know what I'm saying?
By her instilling God into my life
was a great asset for me
because I have always known God
my entire life.
When I was a little boy, man,
I wouldn't do stuff
because I thought God was watching me.
I told you, man,
I grew up in the hood, man.
And I told my kids this when they were growing up.
I tell them, don't ever come to me with peer pressure.
You can tell me anything.
If you kill somebody, you know what I'm saying?
Dad, I killed him, but I killed him because of something.
Don't tell me you killed him because Bobby killed him.
I don't want to hear that.
Do not give me peer pressure because you're growing up in Beverly Hills.
So don't tell me that because I grew up in the hood in Detroit,
and some of my partners were gangsters.
You know what I mean?
And dudes would come to me and say, hey, man, we're going to go rob the gas station tonight.
Okay, okay.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Maybe.
Maybe.
No, you're right, maybe.
And I tell them, man, I ain't going with you to rob a gas station.
Especially if you're going to rob a gas station in the corner.
Because that's Nate's gas station.
We know Nate.
So I'm not going down there to help you do nothing like that.
But they love me. And I love them. And I didn't have to do wrong with them for them to love me so the next day i would see them sometimes they have 15 20
a piece you should have gone with this man no i shouldn't have gone with you because i don't want
to do that and sometimes they'll be in jail i did oh did something when we were little they've been
juvenile and sometimes they'll be dead I think that God was watching me.
I think that about my life.
I think that right now.
I can't believe my life sometimes.
I'm going to thank God for it every day of my life.
Amen.
I'm not going to trip on Smokey Rock World because, see, show business is a life of accolades and pedestals and people giving you praise and stuff all the time like that.
If I think I'm bad, if I think I'm the bomb and I play over here somewhere,
next week Bruno Mars comes.
And what I did is mild with the crowds and everything else, the reaction, everything.
You know what I mean?
So it comes with the territory.
So you never got the big head even when it was Smokey Robinson and the Miracle.
Hey, man, I wouldn't care if it was Smokey Robinson and Smokey Robinson like it is now.
You know?
Yeah.
No, I'm not going to get that
because I know the source.
Yeah, absolutely.
All right, we got more
with Smokey Robinson
when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Don't, don't play with her.
Don't be dishonest.
That was Don't Bryson Tiller.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ
MV Angelique. Charlamagne Tha God,
we are The Breakfast Club. Smokey
Robinson is in the building.
Now, why did Motown leave Detroit?
They said that was part of the reason Detroit
went down when Motown left. Well, you know what?
I didn't want to accept that at first,
but I agree with that. But we moved because
Barry had the idea that he wanted to get
off into some other parts of entertainment,
not just be a record company.
And at the time, Los Angeles was the entertainment capital.
Movies, TV.
Movies, TV, all this stuff.
So we moved out there, and he started doing movies.
Lady Sings the Blues and blah, blah, blah, and we did TV specials and all those things like that.
So we had access to all that kind of stuff, and Detroit wasn't like that.
You and Barry were like brothers, right?
We still are.
We still are.
Yeah, he's my best friend.
Did that ever affect y'all business-wise?
No, no.
It was an asset, in fact.
That's why he started Motown, because nobody was paying us money.
We were very blessed and very fortunate to have a music man at the helm.
At first, you know, he would produce records on The Miracles and Me,
and he had a couple of artists and put them with other record companies,
and nobody was paying you, man. They paid you if they wanted to.
If they didn't want to pay you, they didn't pay you.
Same way now, pretty much.
It's gone back to that.
You're absolutely right, man. Very blessed
to hook up with a dude like him, who was
that kind of man from the outset for me.
Just a man of integrity. Absolutely.
Now, how'd you get the nickname Smokey?
That's usually a nickname reserved for the dark-skinned brothers of our community. Somebody smoked a man of integrity. Absolutely. Now, how'd you get the nickname Smokey? Because that's usually a nickname reserved for the dark-skinned brothers.
It's because he likes smoke.
Somebody smoked a cigarette or something.
Yeah.
No, my favorite uncle, my Uncle Claude.
He was also my godfather.
When I was three and four years old, I used to love cowboys.
And if you asked me what I wanted to be at that age, I was going to tell you I wanted to be a cowboy.
Like Brokeback Mountain?
No.
There was no... No, Brokeback
Mountain was not out in
the closet at that time.
But I liked the cats who
sang because I always enjoyed music.
So he had a cowboy name for me
because he'd take me to see cowboy movies and he called me
Smokey Joe. And if you
asked me what my name was, and when I was three and four years old,
I was going to tell you Smokey Joe because my Uncle Claude said,
my name is Smokey Joe.
So that's my name.
So throughout my life, my teachers, everybody has always called me Smokey.
When I got to be about 12, they dropped the Joe off.
I guess it was long and drawn out.
So they dropped the Joe off, and I just became Smokey.
So I've been that all my life.
Now, when Friday came out
and Chris Tucker introduced
the character Smokey,
did you feel like he was
stealing your thunder?
No, no, no, no.
You know, it was just like
keeping my name out there.
So we always see you featured
in other artists' movies.
Will we ever get
a Smokey Robinson movie?
Well, you brought that up.
So I will reveal this.
There's some guys
working on that right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
And so we're going to see what happens.
Based on the memoir?
Yeah, based on my life.
That'd be awesome.
There's been a lot in Smokey's life.
My final question is that you've watched a lot of legends pass.
Like you say, a lot of people pass.
Do you ever think about your own death and how you want to be remembered
and what you want your tributes to be like?
Well, of course
I think about that, man.
And I think people
who don't see,
you got to think
about your death
to set up your legacy
and your children
and people like that,
you know.
So if I don't think
about my death,
I wouldn't have
an estate plan.
I wouldn't have a wheel.
I wouldn't have any of that.
So you got to,
it's a morbid thought.
I don't want to think
about it,
but you have to. So yeah, I think about it, but you have to.
So, yeah, I think about it, you know, and I've lost some really, really, really good friends, man.
And see, when we were growing up together, like, you know, like Marvin Gaye, you know, Marvin every day, man.
And I never thought I'd see Marvin dead.
I never thought I'd see that, man.
I thought we'd be a hundred walking around together talking about what we used to do.
You know what I mean?
Especially the way he went out.
Yeah.
You have to think about that while you're living
and you have to think about what you are doing to others.
There you have it.
Tell them about the skin cream.
My girl.
Let him talk about the skin cream one more time.
When he can get the skin cream.
On Skinphonic.
That's just Skinphonic.
Skin P-H-O-N-I-C. Yeah, exactly. Skinphonic. That's just Skinphonic. It's Skinphonic. S-K-I-N-P-H-O-N-I-C.
Yeah, exactly.
Skinphonic.com, and you can find all the information about it,
and you can even order it from there right now.
We're going to start off commercially in boutiques and barber and beauty shops
and stuff like that rather than being in department stores and things like that.
But that's the best place to get it now, and it works.
The wonderful thing about it is that it works
because I have very ashy skin, and I play golf,
and so I'm out in the sun, and I'm traveling around all the time.
So I ash up like we do, you know?
But it has moisturized my skin, smoothened it out, you know?
So it works.
Skin Phonics is like a group that would have been signed to Motown.
Right.
Let me ask you one more question.
My mom is listening.
My wife is listening.
Can we get maybe four bars
of Smokey?
Shut up!
No, you can't.
What the hell wrong with you?
Smokey ain't sang for free
since 1927.
No, it's not that.
It's early in the morning.
Well, there you have it. It's Smokey Robinson. It's The Breakfast. No, it's not that. It's early in the morning. Gotcha, gotcha.
Well, there you have it.
It's Smokey Robinson.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report.
Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, the Rizzo has responded to Azealia Banks' allegations against him.
Basically, that he did not help her at all when she was being attacked by Russell Crowe.
And that she doesn't want to sign to his label anymore.
Now, normally we don't hear about Rizzo responding.
And he even said that.
He said, peace.
Normally I don't respond to negative social media attacks toward me,
yet in this case of Azealia Banks, I'm compelled to respond.
Now, he goes on to talk about, in his words, what happened.
He said that Azealia was brought to my attention while I was casting for my next film, Coco.
I heard the rumors of her problems in the industry, but disregarded them with irrationality.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
So my producer and I fought for her to be in the film, and we succeeded. He said everything ran smoothly during the filming process.
That was his only experience with her.
It was professional, he said.
I had no real experience of her social behavior.
Then he said a few weeks ago,
Azalea hit me up for some economic help.
I guess she needed some money.
And bong!
I gave her a helping hand.
He said bong?
Yes.
Okay.
She then followed up asking me to help her get a record deal. I called a friend and bong! A gave her a helping hand. He said bong? Yes. Okay. She then followed up asking
me to help her get a record deal. I called her friend and
bong! A record deal was on the table. He said
bong again? Yes. Okay. The only
clause my buddy gave was be the filter
because the word is she is volatile.
So he goes on to talk about the deal
being in the works and he said she
prematurely went to social media and claimed
that she signed a deal with RZA, yet
no deal was signed. He said he didn't respond.
He didn't want to mess up her hustle.
He told her to stay focused.
He said he wanted her to win.
He said she then hit me for a ticket to L.A. to work and bong, I comply.
He said bong again.
She then needs a place to stay and bong.
I put her in a hotel.
Jesus Christ.
Bong four times?
What?
It's like magic every time he bongs.
He said I returned to L.A. shortly after and we scheduled a meeting.
And then he goes on to talk about Azalea insulting half the room.
She becomes loud and obnoxious.
There was nothing funny about her behavior.
I felt a little embarrassed because she was my guest.
Still, verbal abuse can be tolerated, but when it goes physical,
Azalea threatened to cut a girl in the face with a glass,
then actually grabs a glass and physically attacks for no logical
reason that's when RZA said Russell blocked the attack and expelled her from the suite
seeing is believing and I saw her behave as an obnoxious erratic individual and in the circles
I frequent this was unprecedented I was totally puzzled by her and thought maybe meds or booze
or something had zoned her out nevertheless I, I made sure she got home safe.
He said, this is not a race or gender issue.
I did not hear Russell call her an N-word.
I'm not trying to protect Russell from anything.
He's a man of his own caliber.
My art, talent, and success speaks for itself,
and Azalea's recent slander of me and self-victimization
reflects the personality of the person that was in the room that night.
I have a wife, daughter, sisters, and females on my staff,
so I protect women every day.
Yeah, but he was on TMZ Live yesterday,
and he did admit that Russell spit at her.
That right there is kind of lame.
I don't think I can sit around and watch some grown man spit at a young lady.
Like, come on.
He's not putting no blame on Russell Crowe whatsoever?
I don't know
I mean from the story
that he's telling
she was acting crazy
and he had to throw out the room
and she was threatening
to cut people
so it's okay to spit on a girl
if they're acting crazy
I don't know
that's all
I mean you gotta
you can't have selective
morality here
it's okay to spit at a girl
as long as she's acting crazy
I just want to be sure
and clear about this
well you're cool with this
did you speak to her
no you didn't speak to her
yes I have spoken to her
what did she say
she's maintained the whole story she said that Russell Crowe spit at her called her the n-word I'm sure and clear about this. Well, you're cool with this. Did you speak to her? No, you didn't speak to her. Yes, I have spoken to her. What did she say?
She's maintained the whole story.
She said that Russell Crowe spit at her, called her the N-word,
and she is not denying anything other than the fact that he spit at her and called her the N-word.
So she's saying he spit at me and she wilded out?
Yeah.
Yep.
I don't know.
She broke a glass and tried to cut somebody with it and did all that stuff.
Who do we believe?
Who do we believe?
I mean, it's just all a matter of who you believe,
but I mean, RZA did admit that Russell Crowe spit at her.
That right there kind of was like, that's when you're supposed to check Russell, RZA.
In that moment, you're supposed to be like, what?
Because spit is a different level of disrespect.
It's one thing to grab a girl and throw her out the suite because she acting wild.
But to spit at her, that's a different level of disrespect, bro.
It sounds like things got a little out of control and she initiated the out of controlness, though.
I just want to be sure. Is it okay to got a little out of control and she initiated the out of control though. I just want to be sure.
Is it okay to spit if they're out of control?
Just like you say, Charlamagne, you can't
control how a person reacts when you do something
like that. I would rather he do that than put his
like hit her or do something like that.
Nah, I'm not with the spit. That's a different level of disrespect.
That's like you're beneath
me type. Why would he spit though?
That's what I'm saying.
He probably didn't want to do anything worse than that.
But you already had your hands on you throughout the room.
You spit at it. That's a different level
of disrespect, man. I'm going to be honest with you.
Grown ass. I can't
excuse Azealia Banks' behavior just because
of that. Not at all. Not at all. But me being
a grown ass man, if I'm watching, especially
a white guy spitting at a black girl, that's like
I don't think it has to do with race
and that's what it was. I'm just telling you how I would feel if I saw if I saw a grown white man spitting at a black girl. That's like, eh. I don't think it has to do with race and that's what it was. I'm just telling you how I would feel
if I saw it.
If I saw a grown white man
spitting at a black girl.
But I would say this.
I don't know.
I'd have to check them.
As far as RZA,
obviously I worked with Wu-Tang
and I know them all very well
and RZA has always been
very respectful toward women
and I do feel like
even when I worked there,
I felt like they were
extra respectful toward me
and I never had any issues like that
and if anybody ever tried
to do anything crazy to me,
they always would interject
and step in.
And that's how I feel
he should have interjected.
I mean, I don't know
if he did or not,
but just stand by
and watch a man
spit at a woman
and not do anything
but tell a girl to leave.
He should have
checked Russell too.
He's letting Russell off
real easy in that statement.
He said he made sure
that she got home safely
and that she was okay.
He did say that.
I mean, he did a lot for her.
He got her in a movie.
Did any witnesses
say anything, though?
All the witnesses
were saying that
she was acting erratic
and that she was...
That still don't justify
her getting spit at.
Like, I don't know.
It's not like he's trying
to protect his relationship
with Russell, to me.
I don't know.
It sounds like everybody
was wrong in the situation
and Azealia was wrong also.
He don't seem like
he's giving Russell
no flack for spitting at him.
Yeah, but she's coming at RZA.
I'm going to remember that next time.
She's the one that's coming at RZA.
I guess it's okay to spit at women if they while out on you.
You better not spit at women.
Hey, listen, if I ever, if I ever, I'm going to tell you this right now,
if I ever break a glass threatening to cut somebody and go crazy,
you can spit on me.
There you go.
Jesus Christ.
Because I'm never going to do that.
Spit is a different level of disrespect, man.
Wow.
All right, and that is your rumor report.
I'm Angela Yee.
On a side note, you know I don't know how to spit?
I can't spit.
So you swallow?
You know what?
You always go too far.
Round of applause to DJ Envy for admitting he swallows this morning.
You always go too far.
Now we know how you got all those cars.
You go too far.
Like, you know how people spit and they can spit across the room?
I can't spit.
When I spit, it just drops down on the floor.
Just personal knowledge. Beige problems, ladies and gentlemen. Pretty much. Those are waffle-colored problems, ladies and gentlemen. spit across the room. I can't spit and when I spit it just drops down on the floor. Just personal knowledge. Beige problems,
ladies and gentlemen. Pretty much.
Waffle color problems, ladies and gentlemen. Snapple fact.
Alright, well thank you for those rumors, Yee.
Yes. Who you giving that down to? Listen, man,
I need a young man from New Brunswick,
New Jersey named Jaheim to come to the
front of the congregation. I know you
got a crush on Jaheim Envy. What are you talking
about? I've heard some things. You said you like his hair.
I did not.
I heard you.
You still got them braids, don't you?
I need him to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
All right.
We'll get into that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
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 time. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey.
Donkey. It's time for the Donkey of the Day.
That's pretty funny.
With Charlamagne the Devil.
Possibly.
The Breakfast Club.
Yes, Donkey of the Day for Friday, October 21st,
goes to the R&B singer known as Jaheim.
Can you still call Jaheim an R&B singer?
Yes.
Of course you can.
He's still active, okay?
He can't front on the brother like he don't have hits. Jaheim had R&B singer? Yes. Of course you can. He's still active, okay? He can't front on the brother
like he don't have hits.
Jaheim had Put That Woman First,
Just In Case.
Just In Case.
He got joints.
I mean, Jaheim can pick up
seven to ten grand a show
for the rest of his life
in any small town USA.
You don't think so, heavy?
If he gave you the hook,
I don't know about ten.
Seven?
All right.
Five to seven.
Five to seven.
Five to seven. No disrespect, no disrespect. And I know he can get a time to right. Five to seven. Five to seven. Five to seven.
No disrespect.
No disrespect.
And I know he can get a time
to join a boat cruise.
Popping.
Absolutely.
All right.
Last record he put out
was actually this year.
It was a song called
Struggle Love.
It's actually an I-rated record,
okay?
It's about being in love
and you're going through
the struggle, okay?
That poor and disenfranchised
passion.
Let's play a little bit of it.
Let's play a little game.
Let's wait until it's raining and kick them all out like Omar.
Oh.
Let's go to Chinese, blow a few trees,
pitter-patter on the roof of your apartment.
Okay.
Let's cut up to a flick, put your butt up on my wrist,
bring your body real close, we spoonin'.
Put a towel on the floor, I'm at the door,
so the nosy-ass neighbors don't know what we doin'.
For the record still, the food costs meals, the stage isn't flashin'. I hear you, Jaheim.
I don't want no struggle love.
Okay.
With that struggle love part coming.
It's coming.
All right. Drop one of those bumps with struggle love. All right, drop on a close bounce for Struggle Love.
I don't miss the Struggle Love.
I like that record.
I miss the Struggle Love.
Record kind of dope, talking about how his relationships were
before he got money, before he got the record deal, Struggle Love.
And I am highly amused by Jaheim saying he misses the Struggle Love
because yesterday on social media, Jaheim displayed a hairstyle
that looks like someone's still going through the struggle.
But they came up on a little
money, alright? Jaheim has a
hairstyle that looks like he just got his tax
return back, like he just took
the bobby pins out, like he just got his
hair laid, and he is in bed with
the silk bonnet on. If
you don't got a silk bonnet on, he slept with his
hand on his neck to not let his head touch
the pillow. I'm telling you, please go to his
Twitter, it's official Jaheim.
And look at what this young man has on his head, okay?
Jaheim looks like he sat down and got his wig did for the Black Hair Expo.
He got a press and curl, but he don't have enough hair for a press and curl.
But nevertheless, somebody ran a hot comb through it.
I say all the time, you can't really trust a black woman who's never been burned by a
hot comb.
So it's good to know, Jaheim, that you are a trustworthy individual.
Now, the reason Jaheim is getting donkey today is not because of his hairstyle.
He's a grown-ass man.
He can wear his hair however he wants.
Even though I should give him donkey for getting a pressing curl
when his hair isn't long enough for a pressing curl.
When your hair that short, you can't go chasing pressing curls.
You got to stick to the Holly Berry pixie cuts
and Frida Gatz finger waves that you're used to.
Okay? But the reason he is getting
donkier today is because all day yesterday
and even right now,
I mean right now, since about 6 a.m. this morning,
he's been going back and
forth with a bunch of people,
probably 80% kids,
about his hair on social
media. Jaheim, you can't win that,
bro. You're 38 years old and you're showing your age
by going back and forth on social media with all these kids.
It's one against millions on social media.
And none of your clapbacks are funny, bro.
They not going to make the shade room.
Okay, he called one girl Jasmine Sullivan.
He called another girl Miss Piggy Ass Face.
He told another girl everything here is fake after posting her picture.
Top to bottom.
Bae got on a new Millennium butt injection costume with space
shuttle on her head. F out
of here. Trash. Just fart on
all Jaheim's jokes. He even released
a statement via Instagram. Can we hear
what Jaheim had to say via Instagram?
I can't win arguing with stupid
ass, ignorant ass motherfuckers.
I'm glad you know. I don't do what I do to please you.
I do it for me.
I feel good about it.
I like it.
It's me.
Not for you, all right?
What about what your mother got under her head?
What about what your girl got under her head?
This is my real hair, you know?
I can cut this.
I can curl it.
I can do what the hell I want to do to it.
It's mine.
It's real.
But don't worry about me.
Worry about you.
You know, I'm working on me.
Work on yourself, all right?
Y'all good, baby.
I'm working on me.
Survival of the fittest.
Leave Jaheim alone, man.
Listen, Jaheim, if you know you can't win, then stop.
All right?
You said all that, but you still going back and forth with these kids this morning. If you want to wear your hair like that, do you, boo.
All right?
Do you.
It's fine.
Please give Jaheim the biggest hee-haw.
Oh, no, you know what?
I ain't going to give him the biggest hee-haw.
He don't deserve the biggest hee-haw.
Sing some of the smooth sounds of the Hamilton's for the brother.
You are the donkey of the day.
You are the donkey of the day.
Hee-haw.
All right.
You about to catch Jaheim at all the natural hair expos.
You had not such a great situation with Jaheim, right?
Wasn't there some incident?
With me?
It wasn't with you?
With Jaheim?
No, it was with Swain.
It wasn't with me.
Jaheim do sound like a scorned black woman, though.
He sound like a black woman who done been put through it by all types of black men,
and now she only want to date white women.
I mean, white men.
Jaheim said, I am working on me.
All right. white women. I mean, white men. Jaheim said, I am working on me. Let Jaheim mind his business
in New Brunswick. He got his nice
natural Preston curl popping.
He got salon seat at the table
playing. He got his coconut oils
and his shea butter. Let Jaheim
do him, boo.
Let him be great, man. Is this the new movement?
These hairdos for men?
It's looking like that.
I don't know.
It's kind of a new movement.
Lord have mercy.
Charlemagne kind of jealous because he ain't got no hair.
He can't do it.
He can't do it.
Negro, please.
You know you want a little pervy perm.
You could always get a piece.
Yeah, if I was...
I can have a wig made for you.
Yeah, if I grew up in the Malcolm X era.
Only people still wearing conks is young Jock Jaheim and Terrence Howard.
Goodness gracious.
Alright, well, thank you for that dog of the day.
Now, what y'all want to do next? Y'all want to talk
Gazelle, you make some more? I want to do a Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday.
Y'all want to talk Hov and Kanye?
No, I really don't. It's Freaky Friday.
Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday. Let's talk about some
Freaky Freaky Freaky stuff. Alright. Well, it's Friday
so you know what that means. It's Freaky Freaky
Freaky Friday!
Alright. Now, Freaky Freaky Friday
question, we're talking STDs. Let's talk about it.
Yeah, this is not going to make you want to get freaky,
but Jim Carrey, this whole
situation with his late girlfriend, now
according to her family, he passed
her all kinds of STDs
and she ended
up committing suicide. Now, he is denying
it on his behalf, but the family
is saying that even after getting these STD results,
she still continued to have sex with him.
It confuses me when people say, well, he gave me this, he gave me that.
But then they continue to have sex with the person.
Because if I get an STD from you at one time, it's over.
Well, let me ask you the question.
800-585-1051.
If someone gave you an STD, would you still continue to sleep with them?
But what type of STD?
Well, according to Jim Carrey's, these papers, they're saying that he gave her hepatitis A,
chlamydia, and oral and genital herpes.
All that's not curable.
Yeah, that's not curable.
All of it is not curable.
First of all, STD is a deal breaker.
STD, if you got a woman and you give your woman an STD or you get another woman pregnant,
those are absolute deal breakers.
But what if it's dormant?
Because STDs can lie dormant in you.
You might not even know you have it
if you don't have any symptoms.
Why do STDs have dorms?
So it's a possibility
that maybe you didn't know you had something
and you gave it to someone and oops.
That lie don't fly.
I mean, I'm sure it does happen.
I'm sure it does happen.
I caught this before I got with you, boo.
It's been lying dormant in me for 10 years.
Maybe somebody didn't know because it might be no signs.
Nah, that ain't going to happen.
It's true.
There's some times that you have no signs,
and then maybe the first time you have sex with a person unprotected,
they get it.
Yeah.
800-585-1051.
If someone gave you an STD, would you continue to sleep with them?
Call us up right now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Have you?
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Or have you. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
That was Diddy, I Need A Girl.
Morning, everybody. It's
DJ MV, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
We're asking if someone gave you an STD,
would you continue sleeping with them?
So now the question is, does it matter
if it's a curable STD?
That's the new question?
No, I mean, because think about it.
Let's say you had a boyfriend.
He didn't know he had an STD.
It was dormant in his system, and you got it.
It was, as somebody pointed out on Twitter, asymptomatic is what they call it.
No symptoms.
So if that happened, would you stay?
Because he didn't know.
It could have been from a girlfriend 10 years ago.
I don't know.
See, I've never been in that position.
I would have to really research that and find out. I don't know. See, I've never been in that position. I would have to really research that and find out.
I don't know.
That's never happened to me.
I did have a boyfriend one time, though, that right before he dated me, he had an ex-girlfriend.
And the ex-girlfriend got mad and then got my phone number and sent me a message saying
that he gave her an STD and all this stuff and you should get checked out.
But she was still trying to get back together with him.
And I was like, why do you want to be with him if you're telling me that you have an STD? all this stuff, and you should get checked out. But she was still trying to get back together with him. And I was like, why do you want to be with him
if you're telling me that you have an STD?
What did she say?
She didn't respond.
STDs are a deal breaker, bro.
If you're in a committed relationship,
if you've got a boyfriend or a girlfriend,
if you've got a fiance, if you've got a wife, husband,
whatever it is, if you give each other STDs,
I don't care if they're curable, I don't care if they're incurable,
that's a deal breaker.
What if it's in the beginning,
like you guys just got together?
I'm definitely breaking up with you
if it's in the beginning.
No, because it's not like they cheated on you,
but they just had no idea.
That's true.
No, no, hell no.
They wasn't cheating on you
and maybe it was dormant in their system.
Thank God I've never had an STD in my life.
I'm not dealing with no dirty vagina for a while.
I just started dealing with you
and that's the first thing you give me?
And we didn't even get to Christmas yet.
You ain't even give me a gift
but the first thing you give me
is an STD?
Well, that is a gift.
Hell no, I'm out.
Especially if you give me
something like herpes.
What if I don't even like you
like that?
I've just been dating you a month.
Now you don't give me
something for life.
Hell no, I'm out.
That's true.
Hello, who's this?
What's up, man?
How you doing?
Now, if you gave somebody,
if someone gave you an STD,
would you continue
sleeping with them?
Absolutely, most certainly not, man.
Are you sure? I mean, let Absolutely, most certainly not, man. Are you sure?
I mean, let me tell you from experience, man. People gotta be straight
up with you when it comes to this because
you're almost committing a crime when you do something like this.
But what if you don't know you have it?
That's also on your fault. You said tell us from experience.
Have you had an STD before?
Almost. I got scared as hell, man. One time
You almost?
Actually, the one I thought was the cleanest one, the nicest one, you know.
She came to me one time after like six months of not talking to her.
And she's like, oh, I got chlamydia.
And I think you gave it to me.
Whoa.
I was like, what?
You gave me chlamydia?
Never in a million years.
I know.
I like Googled the symptoms, whatnot.
And my brain tricked me to thinking I actually had it.
So I'm thinking like, what did I do to get chlamydia?
Because I know who I sleep with.
I know who I'm messing with usually.
You know what I'm saying?
Usually.
Usually.
Huh?
You said you know usually who you mess with.
Usually, yeah.
I mean, nine out of ten times, I suppose.
And then two weeks later, she hits me up and goes, oh, I got it, and I got it from somebody else.
So the first thing that someone does
is usually blame the other person, I suppose.
Hello, who's this?
T.T.
Hey, T.T.
Now, if someone gave you an STD,
would you continue sleeping with them?
Hell no!
What if it's incurable and now you both have it?
You would break up? You say if it's incurable and now you both have it? You would break up?
You saying if it's curable?
If it's incurable and you both have it now.
Hey, look, first of all, you cheated on me.
And you bought an STD home.
And I can't get rid of it.
Yeah, you got to go.
You got to go.
You got to go.
Bye.
All right.
800-585-1051. If someone gave you an STD, would you continue sleeping with them?
Call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That was Beyonce with Hold Up.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, we're taking your calls.
800-585-1051.
If you slept with someone and they gave you an STD, would you continue sleeping with them,
is the question.
Especially if they apologized and said,
I didn't even know I had this.
I'm so sorry.
I'll go get tested too.
Now let me ask you a question.
You have friends that have done that before?
I have two friends that got an STD from their boyfriend
and still stayed with them after.
Two friends.
What STD?
One of them had TRIC.
I forget how to pronounce the whole thing.
TRICM and I don't know how to pronounce it.
And the other one had Gonorrhea.
Damn.
All right.
And they stayed with him?
Mm-hmm.
Jesus Christ.
They stayed together after that.
Love yourself, boo.
Love yourself enough to know that there's somebody out there with a cleaner penis.
Hello, who's this?
Kitty.
Hey, if you slept with somebody that had an STD, would you continue to sleep with them?
No, because by that point, you can't be trusted.
Like, I trust you
with my life,
even with you,
I'll protect you,
and you just put my life
in danger.
Mm-hmm.
And you can't do that.
Like, you know, you just...
I can catch anything
that's unbearable,
and that's what, you know,
a lot of people
this generation
don't understand.
We all see people
who have STDs.
Nobody wants to stay.
Hello, who's this?
Yeah, it's Tane. Hey, man, if you all was messing with a chick, she gave you an STD. Would Nobody wants to stay. Hello, who's this? Yeah, it's Tame.
Hey, man, if you was messing with a chick
she gave you an STD,
would you continue to sleep with her?
Man, no, man.
I was married to a chick.
I was one of the biggest boys
you wanted to call in my city,
but I never had none.
I got married and came back on a road trip,
and she had to go.
So that happened to him.
STDs are a deal breaker.
I don't even know why we're having this conversation.
Because people have stayed with people.
Yeah, it's got to be worth your while.
Because, you know, STDs are very common,
more common than we probably sit here and think about.
But let me ask you a question.
Let's say you got an incurable STD, right?
Like herpes?
HIV AIDS.
So to find somebody else that you can have unprotected sex with would be difficult, correct?
No, it wouldn't.
I'm sure they got plenty of HIV AIDS chat rooms.
I'm sure they got herpes chat rooms where you can hook up with other people with those illnesses.
And, you know, I'm not staying with nobody who got an STD, okay?
It's only one Magic Johnson, all right?
Salute the cookie.
But everybody else, I'm out because I just feel like that's a deal breaker.
If you get another woman pregnant or you give another woman an STD,
those are absolute deal breakers.
You can't even expect your woman to stay.
You know how sometimes when you know you effed up, you get on your knees
and you beg her to stay.
Please, baby, I'll do better.
You can't even do that in that situation.
You know you effed up, Rory.
You got to let her walk.
What's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is wear condoms.
All right?
And do the earwax test.
The earwax test is when you dig in your ear, you put a little wax on your finger,
and then you stick it up the girl's poom-poom.
If she jumps, she got something.
If she got something, then you need to fall all the way back.
Please don't do that test.
Because if somebody sticks their earwax in your vagina, you will have something after that.
First of all, why would you?
You definitely have some type of infection from that nasty, dirty earwax.
And if you're dating a guy
and he sticks his finger in his ear
and all this earwax comes out,
you probably don't want to date him either.
First of all, fellas,
don't let nobody see you doing the ear.
Don't let nobody see you digging in your ear.
You can do the earwax test on the low.
That is not true.
The earwax test works, bro.
I've never had STD in my life.
How do you know?
It does not work.
I've never had STD in my life.
I've never had nothing.
It does not work.
I never had chlamydia, herpes, crabs, gonorrhea.
It is true.
It's worked for me.
Oh, my goodness.
My penis, clean.
Yee, we got rumors coming up.
Clean.
All right.
Yes, we do.
We are going to talk about Kahn, and he has a new TV show coming.
I'll tell you what that is.
Also, Kanye versus Jay-Z.
Where did this issue start?
We'll tell you all about it.
All right.
All that and more.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's The Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Kanye seems to be a little frustrated with certain things.
In particular, Jay-Z, who is his big brother.
He was performing in Seattle at Key Arena.
And he was talking about issues between title music and Apple music.
And why Jay-Z wasn't on songs.
And just why there's not going to be a Watch the Throne 2.
He also talks about the fact that Jay-Z didn't come and see him personally when Kim Kardashian was robbed.
Check it out.
Call me after the robbery.
Say how you feeling.
You want to know how I'm feeling?
Come by the house.
Like me brothers.
This is Dan.
Next week.
I mean, I don't know what more Kanye wants.
He called Kanye.
I mean, damn, I truly feel sorry for what happened to Kanye's wife and wouldn't wish that on nobody.
But do you want Jay to bring you some soup?
You want him to bring you some flowers? I mean, I get it,
but that's not the place to say that. You call him
and say, I would appreciate it if you came by, bro.
I agree with that. Friends don't air friends out publicly.
Same way you wanted Jay to come by your crib,
if you had an issue, you could have called him and told him that.
Right, and he had an issue because Jay-Z wouldn't get
on the song Pop Style on Drake's album out of
respect for Meek Mill. He kind
of can. I mean, I don't think that's a bad thing. He's for Meek Mill. He kind of can't. I mean, I
don't think that's a bad thing. He's respecting
Meek Mill. I mean, I don't think
it was an Apple title thing. But he was still on
Pop Style. Whether it was two lines
still said featuring Jay-Z, what's the difference?
I don't, it makes no sense to me.
I don't, yeah, I don't look at that as the wrong
move to make. Alright.
Chance the Rapper just put out a new video,
How Great, and that video features
his cousin Nicole and Jay Electronica
and he shot the whole thing on his iPhone.
I like that record. Tough tune off Coloring Book.
Yeah, off Coloring Book. Great inspirational song.
So, anyway,
I just thought you guys might want to know that that song is out.
And the video is out with
the iPhone.
I haven't seen anybody make a whole music video
on their iPhone yet. They say you can. I haven't seen it make a whole music video on their iPhone yet.
They say you can.
I haven't seen it really.
Drop on a Clues Bomb for Chance the Rapper.
I'm so glad I started to listen to Chance the Rapper.
Because it was a point in my life I never listened to no Chance the Rapper music.
I remember the first time he came up here.
He had that CD called Acid Rapper.
And I was like, I do not want to hear about another fiend glorifying drug use.
But he is not that at all.
He's dope.
All right.
Common has a new TV show coming.
It's a hip-hop comedy sitcom.
It's called 93 Till Infinity.
So he's going to executive produce the show
and it's kind of an idea of a rapper from the 90s
struggling in present day
trying to figure out the next chapter of his life.
He's going to reconnect with his best friend
from middle school.
That's a good show.
Who's struggling with family and real responsibilities
and he's also desperate for a midlife reboot. Drop one school. That's a good show. Who's struggling with family and real responsibilities, and he's
also desperate for a midlife reboot.
Drop one of Clues Bombs for Common.
I love when I see brothers with that executive producer
title. And 92 Till Infinity,
that was, what group was that?
Souls of Mischief. That's right.
Out of California.
Alright, and last but not least,
I saw that some people feel
like Jaheim is directing some fire toward the Breakfast Club,
toward Charlamagne, maybe for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day was trending, too.
Drop on a Clues Bond for Donkey of the Day, trending this morning.
So was Smokey Robinson.
Smokey Robinson was trending, and it's so funny because people thought he was dead.
No, I'm serious.
If you go look at the tweets, it's a combination of isy Dead and Oh, I Really Enjoy Smokey on the Breakfast Club.
So what did he say?
Well, he posted a selfie and he said,
When I see you face to face, it's on sight, bro.
I'm not calling no names and whoever with you can get it.
I smack jockeys and KO vaginas that come at me.
Indirect facts.
Nothing or no one can save you.
I'm going to beat you to color purple.
I'm going to come to your workplace.
You have to see me. Damn.
You've been chosen to put these healing gloves
on that ass, big mouth chump.
You're going to learn today.
Hashtag struggle love.
Alright. So I'm assuming he's going to
do all of that in a white do-rag because I know he's
not going to do that with that pressing curl just flourishing
the way it is presently.
Okay. Leave Jaheim alone.
Jaheim's a tough cookie, man.
I mean, yo, he done got burned with that hot comb.
Once you got burned with that hot comb,
you don't feel no pressure in life.
That's why black women are so strong.
Black women are so strong
because they used to get burned with hot combs
when they was younger.
When you get burned with that hot comb,
nothing can really faze you in life, okay?
Drop one of Clues Bombs for all the women out there
who have been burned with the hot comb, all right?
You're not officially a black woman if you haven't been burned with the hot comb, all right? You're not officially
a black woman
if you haven't been burned
with a hot comb.
I hate you.
All right?
All right.
God bless you, Jaheim.
Man, this is crazy.
All right, well,
hopefully we can squash this.
Shut up, you.
It's a long line
that Jaheim has to get in,
okay, to slap me.
That line is long.
Imagine if they had a
one-one-one slap
Charlamagne line at a carnival. We would make so much money. That line is long. Imagine if they had a we want to slap Charlamagne line
at a carnival.
We would make so much money.
We would make marriage.
That line is long.
A hundred dollars.
Yeah.
Come up here,
you get to smack Charlamagne.
Now you need a little more than a hundred.
At least a thousand.
It's going to a good cause.
What cause would we give this to?
95% of all people
that want to slap me were red hot in the early 2000s, late 90s, musically.
Good smack.
Yeah.
What would this charity be for?
We're going to work this.
Yeah, we could do that.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report.
Good idea, Yee.
All right.
When that white man in the suit pops somebody, don't hashtag the person's name.
Okay.
All right, man.

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