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

Good morning, USA! cookout food. It's a real veteran who fought in the war for your ass who didn't get to eat nothing this weekend,
okay? Damn, this is
when this country pisses me off. Because if you went to go
fight for this country and you homeless now,
that's a damn shame. Veterans should at least get
free room and board and shouldn't have to pay taxes for
the rest of their life and they should get a stipend every month.
That's just my personal opinion. Alright,
that would be awesome. Maybe you can make that happen.
One day. Alright, well, Charlamagne,
how was your weekend? Um, it was good. I didn't do nothing. Like, I didn that happen. One day. All right. Well, Charlamagne, how was your weekend?
It was good.
I didn't do nothing.
I didn't have to go anywhere.
I was here minding my business.
I was relaxing.
That's always nice.
I was in St. Martin.
Had a great time.
Yeah.
And then last night, shout out to my boy, Shy.
It was his birthday, so I was with him at the palace.
Yeah, I just been, I mean, I rested this weekend because I'm going to be out and about a lot this week.
I'll be in Concord, North Carolina, which is like right outside of Charlotte.
I'll be there on Wednesday, May 31st at the Books a Million in Concord Mills Mall at 6 p.m.
So if you're listening to this on Street 203.3 in Charlotte right now,
just know that I will be at the Books a Million in Concord Mills Mall at 6 p.m. on May 31st.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Now, we got one of your boys coming this morning, right, Yee?
Well, I just met him.
Oh.
But Kevin Louds manages him.
Okay.
From 300, but that is Tee Grizzley from the D.
All right.
Also, we got Giselle from Real Housewives of Potomac.
So, hold on.
So, Kevin Louds must have sponsored this show this morning
because Tee Grizzley is his artist,
and ain't Giselle his homegirl?
Well, his wife, Erica, went to
school with Giselle. Got you.
So, you know, and they have a business together.
So this is all sponsored by Kevin. Yes. Shout out
to Kevin. Alright.
Well, don't y'all go anywhere. It's the world's

we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you got something on your mind,
let it out. Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Nestle. Hey,
tell them about your blessed mama.
I'm so blessed because I have the greatest
boyfriend in the world, and I know we've only
been together for like a short time.
It's been like over a little over a month.
Oh, my God.
Calm down.
Simmer down.
Simmer down.
Everything just simmer down.
This is the woman.
She got a woman on her right now.
Let your tea cool off a little bit.
All right.
You're going to burn your little mouth.
Well, let's hear what happened.
What happened?
He just, every day he makes me so happy.
Yay.
You don't even know him.
You know his representative right now.
Well, let her be happy.
This is Tell Him While You're Blessed.
Let's hear how great he is.
Go ahead.
What does he do?
You dating his hologram right now, boo.
All right.
He sends me all these cute things all the time.
And he makes sure he tells all of his friends and he knows.
He hit you? He had sex with you yet? No. Oh, man. and he makes sure he tells all of his friends and he knows about me.
He has sex with you yet?
No.
Oh, man.
Well, that's sweet.
Listen, excuse these bitter women that I work with, okay, honey?
You go ahead and be blessed.
Listen, call us back a month or two after he has sex with you
and tell me if y'all still live together.
You sound like a bitter woman, man.
Leave her alone.
Let her be happy.
But good luck. You enjoy
your early months, alright?
I love a little delusion
in the morning with my green tea. Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is JoJo from Columbus,
Ohio, man. Tell me why you blood-dressed.
What's going on, man? DJ
Henry Charlemagne, the guy, the beautiful
Angela Yee. Good morning to y'all. I'm
highly blessed and favorite because my guy wakes me every morning to y'all. I'm highly blessed and favored.
Because my God wakes me every morning to my beautiful children.
I get to go to my amazing job.
Even though I don't like it, but I respect it.
Take care of my family.
And I got good friends around me, man.
So I'm highly favored and blessed every day.
And I listen to the best morning breakfast club, best group in the morning.
You got to wake up and gratitude should be your attitude.
I love that one, brother.
Peace.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Nat.
Nat, tell them why you're mad.
You know why I'm mad?
On Friday, one of my coworkers called in and had the audacity to tell y'all that she was being bullied at work.
Oh, was she?
It was something like that.
Stop bullying her.
Oh, so you know her.
Okay, you guys work together.
No, here's the thing.
I'm not bullying her.
I just feel that if we're both getting paid to do a job,
stop lollygagging and having me pick up after you.
I basically just told her about herself, and she didn't like it.
If I'm going to be doing her job, she needs to give me half of her pay.
She told me she's going to swing on you next time you try her like that. She ain't
that. She ain't crazy. She ain't crazy.
So are you bullying her at work
though? I'm not bullying her.
She's just one of those people that like to sit around
and talk and not do her work
until last minute. So
if you don't wait last minute to do something, you want
to do it on your own. Don't ask me for no help.
How old is she? How old is she?
Huh? How old is she? She's like in her 40s.
Oh, okay. I was about to say that sounds like
millennial behavior, but if she in her 40s and acting
like that, she's just lazy.
How y'all gonna get along at work now?
They not. We're not
gonna get along. She just started, though.
Oh, yeah. She's gonna swing on you
for sure. It's over. Sorry, my lady.
Thank you for calling, though.
Put that Vaseline around your eyes when you go to scrapping now.
Tell them why you're mad or tell them why you're blessed.

This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is Alphonse Sim with Goodz, number one fan.
What up, Sim? Tell them why you're mad.
Yo, I'm mad because this girl drove all the way from Poughkeepsie.
I live in Nashville County, and she just lays in the bed.
Can't give me no body, no nothing.
I was just wondering, like, damn, she could have laid in the bed somewhere else, you know? Did you call her Uber to leave? Nah, nah, I ain't calling a Uber to leave?
Did you call her a Lyft?
Oh, so you cuddled.
That's cute.
You just cuddled.
You're a cuddle buddy.
I'm a cuddling.
You should be ashamed of yourself
cuddling with a random.
I am, bro.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I am ashamed.
Maybe that's white people.
That's my material.
Maybe that's white people's material. Maybe, maybe. You don't cuddle with no random. That's ashamed. Maybe that's whitey material. Maybe that's whitey material.
Maybe, maybe.
You don't cuddle with no random.
That's the only thing that made me not kick out.
I was like, you know what?
Maybe she ain't a rat.
I mean, I don't know.
Next time you feel like cuddling, just get a teddy bear, bro.

So I'm truly blessed that through the breakup, I found the Lord.

Man, I'm a little pissed off.
Check this out. Six
years ago, I married a beautiful, absolutely
beautiful African-American woman.
And I'm a white dude.
But let me tell you, her boss man, who I thought was pretty cool,
yesterday going to get a little pissed off with her because she was running late
because taking our child to daycare.
All right, well, next thing you know,
he's calling her all kinds of racial languages and everything.
And I need to figure out how I need to not go to jail because I basically go visit this dude come 8 o'clock a.m. Is her boss white?
And you're white.
You just go in there and swing on them.
You don't go to jail for stuff like that.
It's white-on-white crime.
It's just a little fight between the fellas.
That's all.
They'll send you on about your way.
All right.
Hey, I'm running, baby. I feel like I can do out. And I got one more thing. All right. Charlamagne's president.
Hey, I'm running, baby.
I feel like I can do anything now because I got black privilege and white people are suing for reverse racism.
I feel like I can do anything in America at this moment.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time to shoot your shot.
This was our very first call, and this was Jay.
He wanted to shoot his shot with Rob, and it's very interesting.
Let's get into it.
Earlier, Darren, tell them why you're mad.
We had a caller. His name was Jay, and this is what Jay said.
Well, I'm mad because my friend Rob just got out of a relationship, and he's been feeling so miserable.
And I think that he is awesome, and I wish he was dating me instead.
Wow.
So Rob is a gay guy.
You're a gay guy, clearly.
Well, I'm gay.
I don't know if Rob's gay or not, but, you know.
Oh, Rob was with a woman.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was with a girl, and she just broke his heart, you know.
So you're not, like, mad. You're, like, sexually frustrated. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was with a girl, and she just broke his heart, you know? So you're not, like, mad.
You're, like, sexually frustrated.
Yeah, yeah.
He wants to give it a try.
Do you think he might like you?
Has he ever tried to, like, you know, slide you a little tongue or anything?
No, but there was this one time when we went out dancing together,
and I think that, you know, he had a lot of fun at that gay club.
Whoa, so you want to slob on Rob's knob. You want us to call him for you?
Yeah, let's call him.
Are you sure now? I love a good hookup.
You said he's not gay. So would he be upset?
He doesn't know.
Jay, hold on.
Now we have Jay on the line.
What's up, Jay? Hey, good morning.
How are you guys?
I can hear the gay in your voice this morning jay
yes that is right that is right you have no choice but to be openly gay when you have a voice like
yours stop it now tell us what's going on jay okay so me and my friend rob like you know we go way
back we've been you know friends for for a few years now and he just went through this really bad relationship.
With a girl or a guy?
It was with a girl, and
you know, he just broke up,
and I think that he's been really having
a tough time, and
you know, the thing of it is that
I really think that I'm the one
for him.
I think that this is
the perfect time. Does he like men?
I don't know.
So how can you think you're the one
for him if you don't even know if he likes penis?
He's giving him a feeling.
Well, yeah, you know, because I just feel like
whenever we talk, we relate so
well and stuff.
I don't know if he'll be into it,
but I really just want to try.
But this could destroy your friendship, though.
Yeah, but, like, he's just so hot, and, like, I've really wanted to tell him this for a long time,
and it's just, you know, I think this is now or never.
All right, is there any indication that he might like you, too?
Like, has he ever done anything, touched your leg?
Did he accidentally give you oral sex one day?
No.
He never gave me oral sex one day? No. He never gave me oral sex
one day, but
it's like, I just feel like,
I don't know, it's an intuition, you know?
Like, if I had women's intuition,
I would call it that, but I'm not,
you know, a girl, so I...
You can still have intuition, though.
It's called gaydar.
Basically, my gaydar is going off, and I feel like there is a chance.
There is a chance that this could work.
All right, well, we're ready to try to help you make it work.
All right, so if there's a chance that you can get in his pants, we're going to help you.
When we come back, we're going to call him.
So don't go anywhere, Jay.
When we come back, we're going to call Rob.
Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good anywhere, Jay. When we come back, we're going to call Rob. Don't go anywhere.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us earlier today, Jay called.
Tell him why you're mad.
And he said that he wanted to holler at a friend.
Right, Yee?
That's right.
The only thing is he's not 100% sure if his friend is gay or not.
Why are y'all doing this to people early in the morning?
What do you mean?
What if that man ain't gay?
Okay, well then he'll say, no, I'm not interested.
Okay, if it's a love hookup, great.
But what if he ain't gay?
Now they're going to be at each other's face awkward all the time.
They might not even want to see each other no more.
Well, listen, sometimes you got to shoot your shot.
Gay or not, people shoot their shots.
That's what you were saying.
You got to shoot your shots.
I like that, Yeez.
Gay or not, sometimes you gotta shoot your shot.
That's what it is.
Gay or not, sometimes you gotta shoot your shot.
Pull out your c**k, put it in his pot.
Alright, that's a little too much. See, you always go too far.
Jay, you there?
Yes.
Okay.
Hello?
Hey, Rob.
It's me, Jay.
How you doing?
Oh, what's up, Bill?
How's it going?
Oh, you know, just enjoying the morning here.
I just want to catch up with you because, you know... Well, hey, Rob.
It's us from The Breakfast Club.
I'm Angela Yee.
I'm DJ Envy.
What? Hello? I'm Angela Yee. I'm DJ Envy. What?
Charlamagne Z as well.
Yeah, so Jay has something very special he wanted to talk to you about,
but he needed a little help.
It's taking him some time to get to the point.
We had to jump in.
Yeah, so he wanted to...
Wait, what's going on?
Well, go ahead, Jay.
You can tell him from here.
Hey, I just wanted to talk for a little bit because, you know,
I know that the relationship you was in was you
know it was kind of tough getting out of that and stuff you know we uh we hung out a lot and and
stuff and i think that you know you're a really cool guy and everything and uh i mean you know
how i am and i wanted to know that maybe we could hang out and try maybe going out for drinks and dinner and, yeah.
Do you understand what's happening here, Rob?
Jay wants to slob on your knob.
Hey, sex.
What?
Rob.
Hold on, hold on.
Rob, have you ever looked at Jay in a way that perhaps you guys could try something and be together?
Be together like what?
Sexually.
Sexually, like kissing.
Top and bottom.
Yes.
Bottom to the top.
The top feels so much better than the bottom.
Nah, I haven't.
Rob, would you give it a try?
Because Jay seems like he's really into it.
He seems like you guys are good friends.
Y'all like playing ball with each other.
Would you give it a shot?
Man, I don't know about that one.
He didn't say no.
Okay, that's promising.
That's promising.
I hear the bi-curiosity in your voice, Robert.
Man, I really don't know.
Something happened between y'all.
Y'all didn't just come to this conclusion.
Jay, I mean, Jay, you going to tell us what happened?
Something happened to y'all. Y'all were playing Madden, smoking I mean, Jay, you going to tell us what happened? Something happened to y'all.
Y'all were playing Madden, smoking some weed, maybe doing some molly together.
Something happened.
Well, it's just that we have so much fun all the time together.
And, you know, whenever we're hanging out.
Now, I do remember this one time when we were out dancing at a club.
It was a gay club.
We went there together, and I know that you had fun, Rob.
Like, we were dancing pretty good.
Now, Rob.
Wow, were you guys dirty dancing?
Rob, if you're not gay,
why would you go to a gay club with Jay?
Nah, I like house music.
That's the only place that plays house music.
That is true.
That is the only place
you're going to hear house music.
That's not the only place.
You can go to Jersey at any club
or anywhere in the morning
they're playing house music. Okay, so
Rob, would you perhaps go on
a date with Jay just to see if maybe
something could happen?
I don't know.
I mean, we hang out anyway,
but I don't know.
You thought about it, Rob. You thought about it.
You thought about it. We could go
to the club. We could do house
music. There's so many bars that play house music.
No pressure.
No pressure.
Let him tell you.
Listen, you take him to the club.
I mean, I'll hang out with this small boy.
We've already been hanging out, but I don't know.
All right.
Okay, so I don't know is not a hard no.
Right.
Let's see what can happen.
He'll give it a chance.
He'll give it an opportunity.
Okay.
Jay, take him to the club, Jay.
His name is Jay, not Gay.
Jay, take Rob to the club.
Have the DJ play camera on Sucker Tonight.
And then you look him dead in his eyes and wink at him.
Okay?
I'll give it a try.
Well, good luck, guys.
Oh, he's going to give it a try.
You guys go out and have a good time.
It might spark something.
You never know, Rob.
Give it a chance.
I respect you, Rob.
I thought this was going to be way worse.
I thought you was going to curse Jay out and everything.
He's open to the idea.
But is your butthole open to the idea?
I don't know about all that, Rob.
Well, Rob, give it a chance, Rob.
And you know what, guys?
After y'all go out, give us a call back.
Let us know how it went.
Yeah, take it slow with him, Jay.
Jay, take it slow.
You can't force it, Jay.
Slow.
I will take it easy.
You know, if Rob, whatever you're comfortable with, I'm fine with that, too.
Like, we can always keep on as we've been doing, and everything will be good to go.
And don't be afraid to be versatile, Jay.
If he's not comfortable being a bottom, then you know what you have to do.
You have to assume the position.
What?
Yeah.
Okay?
You guys, let them have their first date before they get into all that.
Okay.
Well, you guys. And make sure to use condoms.
Okay.
What?
All right, now.
All right.
Sorry, Jay.
He's been a little disrespectful.
All right, Jay and Rob.
Good luck, guys.
Give them a kiss before they do that.
All right.
All right.
Well, let us know.
Call us up and let us know, okay?
Okay.
We will.
All right.
That was beautiful.
Slob on Rob's knob for the culture one time.
I like that.

Oh, my goodness.
Weird.
You got to relax.
All right, so you have a question.
How long have you known your daughter's friend?
How long have I known him?
How long have I known him?
Since he was a kid.
That's creepy.
That's disgusting.
So you've been watching your daughter's friend grow up since she was a little kid and you had a crush on her?
Well, you know, like, she, you know, she, you know.
You sound like a pedophile.
Oh, wait a minute now.
Wait a minute.
Don't go there.
Don't go there.
I respect you a lot, E.
I love you.
But don't go there.
You do sound like a pedophile.
You've been planning on recruiting this girl since she was in elementary school.
That is illegal.
It's the way your voice is warbling also.
That's illegal.
That's against NCAA rules.
No, no, no, Charlamagne.
No, no.
Let's fast forward this.
You know what I'm saying?
Wow.
She's 22, 23 years old.
If you see this girl, man, she put Coca-Cola out of business.
By the way, you've watched American Beauty one too many times.
And the reason you want to fast forward this conversation is because you're trying to fast forward this girl's life.
Now she's of age.
You want her.
And that's disgusting.
I want to tap that ass.
That's what I want.
I can't talk to you no more.
I'm not talking to you.
Why are we talking to each other?
I want to tap that ass.
I don't even feel right trying to set this up.
All right, well, check it out.
I got an older uncle that I want to hook up with your daughter.
He's 57.
So you're going to go there?
Yeah, it's an old-ass man out here lusting for your daughter
the same way you lusting for this little young girl.
Well, you know what?
You know what?
She's a grown woman.
I taught her well.
She can handle it.
Oh, you taught her how to suck?
Oh, stop it, man.
You taught her well.
But listen, how would you feel if your daughter's friend, if her dad tried to talk to your daughter?
That's a little awkward.
Well, you know, I mean, like, you know, she's grown.
I gave her everything and all the ammunition she needs to be a grown-ass woman.
Yeah, now, I'd beat your ass, but hold on.
We're going to call her.
Is he trying to tell us that he taught his daughter how to pop that poom-poom for a little goon?
Well, we're going to call this young lady.
Hold on.
I don't want no part of this.
No, no, we're going to tell the young lady that she can't do this.
But I would whoop his ass.
Absolutely.
If my daughter brought home a guy my age, well, I'm not 45.
He ain't even talking about wifeing her.
Let me rephrase that.
I'm nowhere near that.
But older than me, I'm whooping his ass.
He ain't even talking about wifeing her. He's just talking about wanting to smash her. That's disgusting. I'm nowhere near that. But older than me, I'm whooping his ass. He ain't even talking about a wife and her.
He's just talking about wanting to smash her.
That's disgusting.
That's what's disgusting.
And the fact he knew her since he was a kid.
Since she was a kid?
No, that's disgusting.
All right.
Well, when we come back, we're going to call this young lady.
Her name is Jasmine.
And keep it locked.
This is the breakfast club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the breakfast club. If you just joined us, we're doing Shoot Your Shot.
Now, that's when you can call. You can email us, thebreakfastclubam at gmail.com.
If there's somebody that you know that you are interested in and you want to try and see if it could work out,
we're going to let you call them live on air.
Now, we have Big Les on the phone lines right now.
He's actually calling his daughter's best friend.
Now, Big Les is probably in his 50s.
His daughter's best friend, I'm guessing, is around 20, her early 20s.
But we told Big Les we're going to let him shoot his shot.
So let's dial the number.
All right.
Hello?
Hey.
Hey, Jasmine.
This is Big Les.
What's up?
Oh, hey.
What's up?
How you doing?
I'm doing all right, baby girl.
What's happening?
I'm good.
What's up?
Oh, man.
You know, like, you know, you know, you busy this weekend?
For what?
Hey, let's just cut to the chase.
I want to take you out.
You know, are you feeling it or what?
Oh, okay.
What the hell you mean, okay, girl?
This is the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, Jasmine.
What the hell you mean, okay?
You giving this old man some play?
Yeah, actually. What?
You had your eye on your friend's daddy all these years?
I mean, maybe not all these years, but I mean, I feel.
Is he an attractive old man?
He is.
He is a good-looking old man.
Okay, but what about your friend?
How's she going to feel about you going out
with her dad?
I don't think
that she's going to mind.
You like old men or something?
Oh, my goodness.
Who doesn't like
a nice silver fox?
Okay.
What about your daddy?
Is your daddy nice?
Yes.
Your daddy should whoop his ass.
What would your daddy think
if you went over this 46-year-old?
Let's just slow down here for a minute, then, because we all getting up in age.
You never know what our futures may hold.
I'm not going to sit here and knock this man if he can bag a young 20-something-year-old tender.
It may have sounded worse than it actually is.
Okay, hold on, but Jasmine.
A toddler.
Technically, this is really a cat.
Jasmine, Jasmine.
Do you feel, has anything weird ever happened,
like when you were growing up at your friend's house with the dad?
Diddy older than 45.
No, no.
No.
No way.
Nothing like that.
I mean, no.
Nothing like that.
This is Diddy and Cassie. This is Diddy and Cassie, man.
Diddy didn't help raise Cassie.
Diddy wasn't there when Cassie came by.
He didn't know her when she was underage.
Doesn't matter when she was 12.
She was 12 at some point in her life.
Oh, you a dirty old man now.
This girl was 12 at some...
Jasmine, you were 12 at some point in your life.
Cassie was 12 at some point in her life.
Diddy was with J-Lo when Cassie was two.
It don't matter.
Okay, so basically it's none of our business now.
If they want to go out with each other, they're both of age.
Yeah, I mean, there's an of age. Yeah, I mean,
there's an age difference,
but I mean, just think,
what if I didn't know him
when I was younger?
Right.
That's okay.
That's right, Jasmine.
Listen, you're probably
going to end up getting
worms from somebody.
Why not somebody
that you know?
And you asked about my daddy.
My daddy would just be like,
is he treating you right?
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, that's what
most daddies don't live with their kids,
you know what I'm saying? They just check in
every now and then. You good? You got a boyfriend
treating you right? Okay, I'll see you on next Tuesday.
Damn. You talking
about your daddy? Okay.
So you guys are going to go on a date.
What's the plan? Well,
you know, I'm going to go
with her flow, but if she doesn't
have anything in mind, I'm going to whine and dine that little lady like she deserves.
Well, I hop on Fridays is over 65.
You get free pancakes.
He's not over 65.
You guys, you know, y'all need to chill out, man.
Just let people live their lives.
Yeah, 45 ain't old, brother.
I get you.
And listen, man, you take it to Applebee's, you get that two for 20.
You know what I'm saying?
And y'all enjoy, okay?
All right.
Wow.
All right.
Well, yeah, you guys have fun.
How are you going to break the news to your daughter?
Oh, well, you know, I'm just going to tell her I'm taking Jasmine out.
Let her find out on Instagram or Facebook.
Oh, my goodness.
No, no, no. I'm a grown ass man.
I'll tell my daughter. Yes, you are.
I'm taking her out.
Oh, he's dying already.
He's dying
thinking about that young vagina.
That young vagina thinking about it got you about to have a heart attack.
Alright, I can't wait to hear how this goes.
Good luck, guys. Now, Les, do you eat the butt?
Alright.
What?
Alright. That's all you gotta say. to hear how this goes. Good luck, guys. Now, Les, do you eat the butt? All right. What? All right.
Okay.
All right.
Let's keep it moving, please.
That's all you got to say.
Do you eat ass?
All right.
All right now.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Well, thank you, guys.
Thank you.
I can't really hate
on that situation, man.
We all getting up in age.
You never know
what the future may hold.
All right, so let's switch it a little bit.
Your daughter turned 22.
She bring home a man that's 46.
Nah, I'm not having it.
See?
That's what I'm saying.
I'm personally not having it.
And I ain't speaking about my daughter.
I'm speaking about me and my own selfish ass.
When I'm 50-something years old and just say me and my wife don't work out,
I'm going to get me something young and tender.
I'm telling you that right now.
I'm going to get me a fresh 22, 23-year-old.
You know what?
Okay, fresh out of college.
What was your degree?
You majored in journalism. Well, come talk to the radio.
So you're going to be a sponsor.
So you're going to be
basically going to be a sponsor.
Alright, that was Shoot Your Shot. When we come back,
we have Donkey of the Day. So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Hey, good morning. I go by the name of Charlemagne
the God, the Prime Minister of pissing people off, the ruler rubbing you the wrong way, the architect of aggravation.
I am fake hair right now.
And being that I'm fake hair, we're going to do a best of donkey of the day, okay?
You know, I love giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid.
And this is one of those times I gave somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid.
And y'all really enjoyed it.
So after donkey of the day, we got my man Tee Grizzly from Detroit.
I can't say he's my man
because I never met him.
I wasn't even here
when he did the interview.
Right.
But, you know.
It's lost advertising.
It's a black thing.
My man.
My man.
I don't even know that name.
All right.
But he'll be here.
Or it could mean you guys are dating
when you say my man.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Here's Best Of Donkey of the Day.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkeys of the day, I'm a Democrat.
So being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mix up.
So like a donkey.
Donkey of the Day.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one.
Donkey of the Day.
Goes to the little lost Negro, formerly known as Bow Wow Wow Yippee Yo Yippee Yay, Shad Moss.
Okay?
Every day of Shad Moss' life, it seems like he's starring in a terrible biopic airing on Lifetime about himself.
And, of course, in this biopic, he is playing himself because, let's be honest,
nobody can play themselves better than shad moss can play
himself if there's one thing on this planet shad moss is good at it's playing himself well the
playing of thyself continued when shad moss posted a pic of a private jet with a sprinter and mercedes
benz pulled up to it with the caption travel day nyc press run for growing up hip-hop let's go
i promise to bring y'all the hottest show ever.
May 25th on WE tv.
Now, Shad Moss is the executive producer of Growing Up Hip Hop.
Salute to him on that.
Drop on the clues bombs for Shad Moss being the EP on Growing Up Hip Hop.
But I don't understand how you can be EP of a show called Growing Up Hip Hop
when you clearly still have a lot of growing up to do.
Okay, you know how they talk about doing the Baby Boy sequel?
They should do it based on Shad Moss' life.
He is a 30-year-old grown-ass man
who mentally is still balled up in the fetal position of his mother's womb.
Okay, Shad Moss may physically be a grown-ass man,
but psychologically, he is still that little boy
who is headlining the Scream Tour.
He's delusional, okay?
I knew he was delusional when I saw that video of him online
when he had the hoodie on, and he was walking in front of a group of kids, and he was delusional when I saw that video of him online when he had the hoodie
on and he was walking in front of a group of kids
and he was acting like he didn't want to be noticed
and they didn't notice it was him. Remember this?
Yo, it's a field trip behind me. They don't
know it's me. Oh, s***.
You're not a friend back there.
Nigga, they don't care!
Okay? This guy still thinks
it's 2005. Not only did those
kids not notice you, they probably didn't know who you are and actually didn't care.
But back to the matter at hand.
Shad Moss posted this pic of a private jet and immediately got called out.
A young man took a pic of Shad Moss on a commercial airline with the caption,
So this guy Lil Bow Wow is on my flight to NY.
But on Instagram, he posted a picture of a private jet caption,
Traveling to NY today, on Instagram, he posted a picture of a private jet caption traveling to NY today,
shaking my head.
Shaking my head is the correct answer because Shad Moss is a devil damn liar.
When will you fools realize there's no future in front of you?
I know a lot of people like to say you turn out to be what you pretend to be.
It could be some truth in that, but in the process of that, you have to be careful who
you pretend to be because you might forget who you are.
And Shad Moss, in his pursuit to pretend to still be that guy who's headlining the Scream
Tour, forgot that he is not that guy Bow Wow anymore.
And that's fine.
You have moved on.
You're still moving and shaking.
You still got a career.
But for whatever reason, that's not good enough for you.
For whatever reason, Shad Moss is choosing the catfish himself.
Why are you trying to be Shad?
Who are you trying to be, Shad Moss?
Are you trying to be D-Pimping? Remember
D-Pimping? D-Pimping is the guy who
pretended to still be Bow Wow, okay?
That's what Shad Moss is doing. Shad
Moss is D-Pimping, pretending to
still be Bow Wow. Now, a wise man
who got caught red-handed the way Shad
Moss did would have just fell back,
relaxed his mind, let his conscience
free, but not Shad Moss.
Old Shad Moss got on IG and doubled
down on the donkiness. He posted
N-Words so dumb.
N-Words take an old picture to say why I was
and wasn't. Who do that?
Y'all better stop playing with me. Ha ha ha.
N-Words is retarded.
Now, Shad Moss, the only dumb retarded
N-Word in this whole scenario is you.
Because you were the one who took a stock picture from the Fort Lauderdale VIP transportation company
and posted it on your IG like it was real.
Okay, Shad Moss also posted, catch me at Teterboro tomorrow going back home.
Half y'all broke mofos, still can't afford a buddy pass on Spirit Airlines.
Stay out the big boy lane.
Now, I wish every single Spirit passenger who was fighting yesterday at Fort Lauderdale Airport could collectively
jump Shad Moss. You the one
frontin'. You the one lying to yourself, and you
got the nerve, the unmitigated gall to insult
the financially challenged people of our
society. I would rather be the broke mofo
who can't afford a buddy pass on Spirit
Airlines than be the mentally poor mofo
who still got a lie to kick it, like
you are, Shad Moss. Financially broke,
you can change that. Mentally broke, that takes a little work. And you, my friend, Shad Moss. Financially broke, you can change that.
Mentally broke, that takes a little work.
And you, my friend, Shad Moss, are mentally broke.
Clearly, you are not happy with the life you are currently leading because if you was, then you wouldn't have to post stock photos
from Fort Lauderdale VIP limo.
Shad Moss and all the kids listening out there,
please listen to your Uncle Sharla.
Remember this.
If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule.
Never lie to yourself.
Okay? You can
learn a lot from your mistakes if
you don't deny them. Okay?
Shad Moss is not Bow Wow anymore, and that's fine.
Bow Wow got the private jets.
Shad Moss don't. At least not yet, anyway.
The moral of the story is, Shad Moss, you're not
lying to me. You're lying to yourself. And a man
who lies to himself and listens to his own lie
comes to a point where he does not discern any truth
in himself or anyone around him. I bet
Shad Moss don't trust nobody.
Simply because he don't trust himself. And why should he?
When you're a 30-year-old grown-ass man who
still got a little 10-year-old boy rap
superstar living inside of him,
Shad Moss at this point in his life is
trans Bow Wow. And that's not healthy.
Okay, dear Shad Moss, the truth will set
you free, but you first have to realize which lie is holding you hostage.
And the truth is, Shad Moss, you are not little Bow Wow anymore.
Forget growing up hip hop.
You just need to grow up, period.
Please give Shad Moss the biggest hee haw, please.
Damn.
My goodness.
All that, Issa?
Now, if Shad Moss is smart, he leaves this alone.
But I fear today that Shad Moss is going to pull up to Teterboro Airport
and either take a video of him about to get on a private jet
or he's going to take a video of him actually in a private jet.
But the jet's not going to take off, okay?
Or worse yet, Shad Moss might just blow the bread to prove.
He's got to blow the bread.
You think he's going to blow the bread?
He has to blow the bread.
That's what you better know.
He has to go to Teterboro today and he has to spend that.
He does not have to.
You think he's going to blow the bread?
If he's going to Atlanta, it'll cost him about $20,000.
Maybe $15,000 if he gets a hookup.
But if he's going to L.A., it's going to cost him $30,000.
So he's going to spend $15,000.
Listen, whether he goes to Teterboro Airport to fake take pictures of him on the private jet
or whether he blows the bread, the moral of the story is the fronting will continue.
Is Shad Moss smart enough to stop the fronting?
Find out on the next edition of Growing Up Bow Wow.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest with us this morning.
What it do?
From Detroit.
What up, dawg?
Tee Grizzly.
What's going on?
What's up, sir?
How long you been in New York just now?
We got here yesterday morning.
Okay, I was just trying to do some timing of things.
Yeah.
Because I know they just did the XXL Freshman cover,
so I was trying to figure out if you're on the Freshman cover.
Right, I mean, that's song to be revealed.
Okay, so maybe.
Tee Grizzley got a record out there, First Day Out.
Yeah.
Which is, it's a non, it's not your typical song. It's not traditional.
It doesn't have a hook.
He's just spitting on it, but it seems to be catching
a lot of steam outside, not only in
Detroit, but outside of Detroit. Yeah.
So tell us about the song, because you talk about a lot
about it in this song. You give a lot of information
about yourself. That song,
when I first got
locked up, right, a lot of people ain't know what
I was locked up for. What'd you get locked up for? I got locked up, right, a lot of people ain't know what I was locked up for.
What'd you get locked up for?
I got locked up for a smash and grab in Kentucky.
Smash and grab.
What's a smash and grab?
A smash and grab is when you run into the jury with a sledgehammer.
Smash whatever particular piece of jury that you want and run out of there.
Two gears, are you too big to be doing a smash and grab?
I know, but it was hectic for me back then.
Whose idea? That wasn't your idea. It wasn't my idea. Okay. It wasn't I know, but it was hectic for me back then. Whose idea?
That wasn't your idea.
It wasn't my idea.
Okay.
It wasn't my idea, but it made sense at the time.
The owner came out and he had a gun.
Right.
And then he made you guys wait until the cops came.
Yeah.
And then that's how you guys ended up getting arrested. It wasn't even the owner.
It was a customer.
What?
Dude that pulled a gun out of the worker.
What a good Samaritan.
Right.
He ain't got nothing on the line. He just said, oh, caught y'all. Yeah. What were you thinking when you were on the ground? Like, they pulled a gun out of the worker. What a good Samaritan. Right. He ain't even got nothing on the line.
He just said, oh, caught y'all.
Yeah.
What were you thinking when you were on the ground?
Like, man.
I was sick.
I was sick.
I had called my grandma.
She's like, what you doing on the way down there?
I'm like, I don't know.
They got me.
So wait a minute.
You went from Detroit to go particularly to that store?
Yeah, y'all.
That was the mission.
We planned on, we knew what we was going down there for.
Wow.
And how far is that from your hometown?
That's like, I want to say like a six, seven hour drive.
So you figured you go six, seven hours away, you get back home, nobody will ever know who you are because you're so far away.
Even if it's on camera.
You're an identifiable looking person, though, I feel like.
I know.
We ain't had no hoodies, no masks on.
What?
How old were you?
I was like 19.
Oh, you didn't take this one through.
No.
You didn't take this one through.
We was going to walk up in there.
Now, you were sentenced to 18 months in jail, in Kentucky jail.
In Kentucky.
And how much time did you serve?
I served nine months, then got paroled.
And then they sent me to Michigan because I had a case in Michigan, too.
And what was the case in Michigan for?
I was going to Michigan State, and I was breaking in dorms,
so I got charged with a home invasion at Michigan State.
Goodness gracious.
What, did you put my phones away?
Damn it, T-Bone.
Put your money away, E.
Goodness gracious.
But you do know that you're very fortunate that things didn't turn out way worse.
I know.
It could have got way crazier.
Because Detroit is a crazy place, too, to even just grow up in.
Yeah, the two cases I was fighting hold a lot of time,
but we didn't go as far.
Me and my co-defendants didn't go far enough for them to cook us.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
In that song you talked about that some of the people that you would charge
would toll on you.
Yeah, a couple of them, yeah.
So how did that play out?
Because, I mean, y'all did the crime.
Right. But they just wanted less
time, I guess. Yeah. They told them
y'all can keep going to school. We'll let y'all out
right now.
And, you know, they rode with that.
So what happens when you see them after that
or speak to them? I got so much
going right now that I don't even pay
no attention to it. But
if it was different circumstances, you feel me?
Only Lord knows what would happen to him.
It's interesting because now you do
have a lot going on. Now, back
then when you were 19, did you have these aspirations
of, I'm going to be an artist, I'm going to...
I didn't for real.
I didn't even have my mindset.
I didn't even know who I was
at the time. The stuff I was doing,
I was doing just to show people that I would do it.
And I was into everything.
I ain't had no do's and don'ts, no principles for real.
I was really still growing up.
You know what I'm saying?
It really took for me to sit down to grow up and figure out what I need to do,
how I need to think, and who I need to be.
I know from a young age, I read your parents were in and out of jail when you were growing up. Right. Did they
ever try to talk to you about things like that,
or was it just kind of a...
you were running wild?
I mean, I had a lot of older people in my family
that was like, don't do this, don't do that,
you know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day,
all I'm seeing is what they doing, and
they doing what they telling me not to do.
So,
I really don't know
what else it is to do
if this is all I'm seeing.
Right.
You see how they're getting it,
and you're like, well, that's just what life is.
Yeah.
And then your father's no longer with us, right?
Right.
But your mom is still.
Yeah, but she incarcerated.
Okay.
Yeah.
You speak to her often?
I speak to her often.
Video visits, phone, all that type of stuff.
Is she getting out anytime soon?
Not no time soon.
Hopefully, because they passing different type of laws. Is she getting out anytime soon? No time soon. Hopefully, because they're passing different type of laws.
Was it for drugs?
Yeah, yeah.
What does she have to say now about you being more successful?
I mean, she happy for me.
You know what I'm saying?
She's showing everybody in their pictures, oh, this is my son.
A lot of people that she locked up with know about me.
Is she locked up in Detroit?
No, she in Florida, Tallahassee, Florida.
In Florida.
You know, the feds and you all across the country.
Yeah, absolutely.
So how did you get into music then?
I always, in Detroit, it's like, it's kind of a like flashy, arrogant city, right?
And a lot of people will rap to show people or to let other people know like,
this is what I got, this is what we be doing, this is how it is.
You know what I'm saying?
So I got into it like that.
And once I found out that I had some type of talent,
I just started taking it serious.
When did you realize you had some type of talent?
What was it that made you?
Was it other people?
It was other people.
That was going crazy off of the stuff I said.
It was other people around the city.
But I used to think that my city was the industry.
I really didn't care about the music going
outside Detroit. You could be a
nice local
celebrity in Detroit too. Yeah, I feel like
if I was a celebrity in Detroit, then I made it.
Right.
So you didn't start writing in jail.
Before you got locked up, you was
already writing and playing with raps.
Yeah, but I was doing a lot of exaggerating, though.
And I was doing a lot of what I thought people wanted to hear.
When I got locked up, that's when I realized that
if I really put some thought into it,
I could tell my story and still make it sound interesting.
And then you did First Day Out.
Yeah.
And that record took off.
How did that record start to take off?
Because it's, I mean, you usually don't see artists that aren't signed
and a record just popped like the way that it did.
Right.
How did it take off?
I ain't gonna lie to you.
I don't know.
Like, if I had the formula, I'd do it every time.
Right.
But sometimes that's the best way.
There's no real formula.
Yeah.
All right, we got more with Tee Grizzley when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Tee Gri. It's the Breakfast Club. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee.
We are the Breakfast Club.
T. Grizzly's in the building. Now, on the song, you said
you're on parole in two states. You can't move wrong.
Fed's trying to build a case. Are they still trying to
build a case on you? I mean,
that's what I keep hearing.
That's what I keep hearing.
I'm on parole in Kentucky and Michigan.
Every time I go report,
you know what I'm saying,
my office is like, just make sure you're being careful, and, you know,
because people want to see you back where you was at.
Can you perform in Kentucky?
I can.
You can. No problems. You don't need no restrictions. I just got a call before I go down there and let them know that I'm coming.
Did you have a really good lawyer?
How did you manage to get such little time for everything?
At first, I had a court appointed, right?
But one of my co-defendants,
all of us had
court appointments. But they have to,
I think it's called pro bono or something like that,
they have to give you one paid lawyer.
And I ended up getting the best paid lawyer
down there. I really
looked up, and he was black.
You know what I'm saying? He was rocking with me. You still speak to him?
No, I don't.
He was like, I'm out of Kentucky.
How has your mom and dad
being in and out of jail affect the way
that you were raised? Because did you look at that
and say, they're making money, this is what
I want to do? Or did you look at it and be like, I don't want to be
nothing like that?
I looked at it and saw that that's what I wanted to do because
what I was exposed to growing up,
I'm seeing people on drugs, I'm seeing alcoholics,
and I'm seeing people being poor,
and I'm seeing people into sports, but they still ain't got it.
And then I'm seeing the people who's selling drugs,
and they live in the best type of life.
Like, this is all I'm exposed to.
So, of course, I wanted to be like that.
You know what I'm saying?
But as I got older, I questioned a lot, and I'm real observant.
So as I got older and started seeing different stuff,
I knew that it was more out there.
Do you still live in Detroit?
I do, because I'm on parole there.
I can't live outside.
Oh, so you can't.
Do you want to leave, or do you feel like you want to stay?
I can leave, but I would have to switch agents.
And I don't think no other parole agent would be as lean as mine is right now.
Like, she let me, like, she
for me, you know what I'm saying?
They want to see you win. She want to see me win, yeah.
Now, are you nervous of making another single? Because I tell everybody
this single, this record
was not supposed to be as big as it is.
It has no hook.
I talk about a whole bunch of local stuff.
A whole bunch of local stuff. You talk about
going to jail, but it works.
People really, really feel it.
Now, does that give you pressure to make a quote-unquote single single?
No.
The reason I ain't nervous, I'm never nervous when it comes to music
because I feel the same about all my songs.
I'm telling my story.
I'm putting my all into it.
And there's a lot of people that can relate to my story
because I'm from where a lot of people, majority of our population come from.
So I ain't never nervous.
How they treating you in Detroit now?
How they treat me there?
Yeah, like they love you.
They love me in Detroit.
They really rooting for me in Detroit.
You know, in the city when a rapper come out,
somebody always beefing with somebody
or somebody always got something on their name.
With me, it's just like his name good
he ain't beef with nobody he reaching back to the city and he 100 and i'm humble every time people
run into me do you feel like is i know as an artist and you're working your music and you
have to go to the clubs and everything like that do you feel like sometimes okay i don't want to
get into something unnecessary so i don't want to do all that because i know a lot of incidents
have happened like in detroit with artists and stuff like that right i don't want to do all that because I know a lot of incidents have happened like in
Detroit with artists and stuff like that right I don't feel like I'll be put in that situation
because I done seen it so many times so when it represent itself I know when something ain't right
like I could kind of feel it and see it so I really stay away from all of that I got not only do I got
too much to lose I got a lot of people depending on me. Right. You know what I'm saying?
A lot of people,
if I don't make it,
a lot of people ain't gonna make it.
They said that you read a lot when you were in jail.
Yeah.
What were you reading?
I read everything.
I read hood novels.
I read...
Like love stories?
Because all them hood novels
is love stories, too.
Yeah, yeah.
I read hood novels.
I read real estate.
I read business books.
I read science.
I read every type of book.
Because it's like, sometimes they, like, close the yard, close everything,
and you had to stay in your cell.
And this could go on for months.
You know what I'm saying?
And I ain't had no TV when I first got locked up.
But there was a whole bunch of books around.
When I read my first book, I never read a whole book prior to me getting like this.
When I read my first book, I fell in love with it.
Never in school at all?
No, I never read a whole book before.
Wow.
Like, I skimmed through something, but I never read a whole book.
When I read my first whole book, I loved it.
So I just had people sending me books and was just reading.
This has been a great time for Charlamagne to put on his book, Black Privilege.
You gotta read my book.
Yeah.
But he's on book tour right now.
Where's the book at? Black Privilege. You gotta read my book. He's on book tour right now. Where's the book called?
Black Privilege.
Opportunity comes to those who create it.
In stores now.
Audible is available as well.
Okay, but I'm gonna take that.
I'm gonna take that out. I heard him say it a lot of times,
so I can now recite everything that he would say if he was here.
You know, take that out.
Are you concerned about, like, the young kids now,
perhaps, like, not having the guidance and getting into things?
Like, do you feel like you're the type of person?
Because they could look at somebody like you and say, he's just like us.
Yeah.
You know, he made the mistakes that he made.
You were fortunate enough that you, you know, had.
And probably you going to jail and sitting down for that period of time that you did was really beneficial.
Yeah, it was.
To you anyway.
So, do you ever talk to the kids?
Because I'm sure you're somebody that they would really listen to.
I talk to them.
And I want to talk to as many as possible
because it's like I know what they need to hear.
So many people come in and speak, but we don't get nothing from it
because at the end of the day, when they leave,
we still ain't got nothing to look forward to.
And they're really not qualified to even talk to us
because they don't know what we need to hear.
I know what they need to hear because I've been in their shoes.
That's why I go to them high schools and talk to us because they don't know what we need to hear. I know what they need to hear because I've been in their shoes. You know what I'm saying?
That's why I go to them high schools and talk to them and kick it with them.
Because after I talk to them, I feel like they have something to look forward to.
Like, what do you say to the kids?
I tell them, first of all, you got to set some realistic goals.
A lot of stuff that we want to do coming from where we come from,
we set goals that ain't realistic.
Right.
Like how you would exaggerate in your raps and talk about things.
Yeah.
We won't. You're like, I'm not there yet. Yeah. We want you would exaggerate in your raps and talk about things. Yeah. Yeah.
We won't.
You're like,
I'm not there yet.
Yeah.
We want stuff to be an event instead of a process.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's one thing
we gotta learn.
They gotta learn
how the world works.
They gotta know.
I'm still surprised
you did a smash and grab
with no mask on,
no nothing,
with those dreads
and how tall you are.
In Kentucky?
I had dreads at the time.
I grew dreads
when I was like this.
Oh, okay.
I didn't want nobody lining me up. And you're like, how tall are you. In Kentucky. I had Dredge at the time. I grew Dredge when I was like that. Oh, okay. I didn't want nobody lining me up.
And you like, how tall are you?
63.
Yeah, 63 people can't do no smash and grab.
Yeah.
That's just.
I was way bigger than they.
I was like 320.
And the plan was to run across the.
You was going to run?
It's a terrible plan.
Were y'all high when you guys came up with this plan?
No.
Man, some dudes came up with the plan that ain't even mentally laying like that to come up with
no plan like that.
A heist.
You were just rocking with it.
Because once you start going, you can't back out.
If you think about it right now, if me and Tee Grizzley do a crime, right?
Right.
A guy comes out, I'm going to keep running.
Because I figure they're going to catch Tee Grizzley.
If he was 320 at the time, 63, he's tired.
I was out of there. And if they did... I got some-Grizzly. If he was 320 at the time, 63, he's tired. I was out of there.
I got some type of speed, though.
Plus, I would have got away.
And if they did catch Envy,
he definitely would have said,
I'll take the deal to go back to school.
No, I wouldn't have.
I would not have done that on my own.
You know, you're a local rapper.
A lot of the rap that's coming out now
and the new rap is not as lyrical.
They call it the mumble rap.
What do you think about the whole mumble,
quote unquote mumble rap phase?
I mean, it's working for them,
so I ain't gonna tell them
to stop doing what's working for them.
They feed their families like that.
You feel me?
But you were never into that?
No, because I don't know how to do it,
for one, and for two,
I wouldn't try to do it
because they doing it
because I feel like
if I want to be like everybody else,
who's going to want to be like me?
Sure.
You feel me, so.
All right.

Ever dreamt about starting your own?

I own this. It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water,
500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe
not. No country willingly
gives up their territory. Oh my god.
What is that? Bullets.
