Starting point is 00:06:21 And The Five Heartbeats is one of my favorite movies of all time, and he has this documentary about the making of the Five Heartbeats, which is a big deal. I never seen a Tyler Perry movie. I never seen none of the movies you named, except Raw, of course. You never seen any Robert Townsend films?

Starting point is 00:06:51 But when it comes to your blackness, you act like you ain't ever seen nothing. I know Menudo. You know Menudo? Nope. All right. And before we set the show, I want to shout out everybody who came out to Wealth Wednesday yesterday. It was a really great one. We're getting ready for the holidays.
Starting point is 00:07:03 People are overspending. People are concerned about debt. So shout out to our guy Sean from Financially Clean. He does a free weekly course on how you can actually get out of debt and get financially clean. He used to work on Wall Street so now he does this for free for the community
Starting point is 00:07:17 and Dion who was there as well. Yeah, I already overspent for the holidays. I already passed that one. I don't even look. Damn it, man. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? We are going to be talking about the deadliest drug in America. What do you think that drug is?
Starting point is 00:07:34 Social media. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Let's get in some front page news. Now, in Thursday Night Football, tonight the Chargers take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, what else we talking about, Yee? Well, Donald Trump's former lawyer has been sentenced to three years in prison after he said that he felt it was his duty to cover up Donald Trump's dirty deeds. That's why he did what he did and lied. This is all about a hush money scandal. And he actually admitted that they got some money to pay off two women,
Starting point is 00:08:11 a former adult film, well, she's a current adult film star and a former Playboy model, before the election in 2016. Only thing is, the prison they're recommending that he goes to is, what they are saying is one of the 10 cushiest prisons in America. Well, it's a federal prison. Most federal prisons are kind of cushy, especially guys like that. They're not going to send a guy like that to wherever they got Tekashi69 at. Now, everybody was posting
Starting point is 00:08:33 this tweet that Michael Cohen directed toward Hillary Clinton back in 2015. When you go to prison for defrauding America and perjury, your room and board will be free. Ironically enough, now that's him. This is going to be very interesting to watch. This is going to be better than any reality show,
Starting point is 00:08:49 any show you've ever seen about the White House, whether it's Scandal, House of Cards. This is going to be better than all of that because it's going to be so many layers peeled back and so many people that's going to be getting sent to jail all until they get to their final destination, which is our celebrity and she. He's not going. Donald Trump. Okay, you can sit there.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And speaking of jail, the governor of Tennessee, Bill Haslam, is considering actually clemency for Centoria Brown. We've been talking about her. She was a sex trafficking victim. She was sentenced to life in prison. Back when she was 16 years old, she killed a 43 year old man, she says, who solicited her for
Starting point is 00:09:23 sex. She thought that he was reaching for a gun after she resisted his advances, and that's when she took a gun out of her own purse and shot and killed him. So now they are saying that he may possibly review her case and grant some clemency. What would be the clemency, though? Are they going to let her go? Yeah, pardon her. Are they going to cut her sentence? Well, pardon and clemency are two different things, right?
Starting point is 00:09:43 Yeah. Because pardon means that they're dropping your charges and letting you free. Clemency means that there's some leniency, so she might not have to wait until she's 51. Well, they're still reviewing the case, so they haven't said exactly what it will be, so once they review it, then they'll let us know if there'll be any
Starting point is 00:09:58 clemency at all. Alright, and fentanyl, by the way, is the deadliest drug in America, which is an opioid. Last year it was heroin, so this year it was fentanyl. They're saying those numbers have... What the hell is fentanyl? It's an opioid. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:10:12 So, you know, people always say we have an opioid crisis here. Yes. And fentanyl is now, seriously, we do have a crisis. Is it a pill, a drink? I think it's a pill, ain't it? Listen, I've never used it, so I don't know the different ways, but yeah. One of y'all fentanyl addicts call up here and tell me what that high be about. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:30 Tell me how you ingest that fentanyl. I just want to know. I don't want to do it. I just want to know. What is it? You don't want to overdose over that. Alright, well that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, a bad morning, or maybe you feel blessed and you want to spread some positivity.
Starting point is 00:10:49 800-585-1051. Or maybe the person that always calls and gets through the back door actually came through the front door and is actually here. What up, Trav? What's going on, bro? Trav's in the building. So Trav can't call in. If you talk again without putting your lips on the mic, I'm going to question your sexuality. Let me scoot over here to your mic.

Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Hello? Hello. Hey, that was your baby in the back? My baby threw the tablet at my stepdaughter, so she's great. Take the tablet from that baby. Go down in the house. Why did the baby have the tablet this early in the morning? She threw it down in the car, not in the house.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Oh, my goodness. I don't care. Why you got that tablet in that baby's face so early in the morning? So she can listen to The Breakfast Club. That's what you tell them. She ain't listening on the tablet. You got the tablet in her hand and the radio on, Indy? I thought the baby had the tablet.
Starting point is 00:16:03 You can't listen to the app. Oh, well, he listens to the tablet, so he can be quiet while we listen to the birthday song. See, that's what I said. That's right. Okay, and then when them little kids be addicted to them things their whole life, you wonder why. Well, she don't want her baby saying ass and rock the mic and all that other crazy stuff he's saying. Don't listen to us. I don't want him talking about playing in nobody's butthole.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Well, find another radio show to listen to. Nose, you find right where you at. What's up, mama? Now, get it off your chest. This is about you. So, first another radio show to listen to. No, you find right where you at. What's up, mama? Now, get it off your chest. This is about you. So, first of all, I'm blessed. Second, I was calling because of the front page news. I wanted to tell you that heroin and fentanyl are actually very similar.
Starting point is 00:16:38 And for a long time, drug dealers were cutting heroin. I'm on the phone. There's a lot of activity going on in your house. For a drug-dealing boyfriend. I'm on the phone. There's a lot of activity going on in your house. Her drug dealing boyfriend. That's why she knows so much about fentanyl and heroin. So drug dealers cut heroin with fentanyl. So you
Starting point is 00:16:58 use fentanyl the same way that you use heroin. You just get high quicker and you die quicker. Got you. Okay, so basically stay away from both of those. Are you okay though? Yes. So I'm okay, yes. For a long time, well I am what you call a harm reductionist.
Starting point is 00:17:13 So I believe that people are gonna do what they want when they want to and like my job is to just help you do that as safely as possible. So I worked in a needle exchange where I would give out like plain needles, make sure people got tested for like HIV, Hep C, make sure they were doing whatever they were doing and they were doing it safe. I got questions. I got questions about that. What do they think the benefits of that is?
Starting point is 00:17:36 Do they think that these people are beyond rehab? Beyond any help? No. So we try to get them rehab. We try to get them help. But like, if you don't want to get help, then you're not going to get help. And if you don't want to get help, that's fine. We just don't want you to die. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Okay. So six people a day die in Massachusetts because of the opioid epidemic. And, like, we just want to reduce those numbers. All right. So letting them do drugs when they want reduces the amounts of deaths? She's saying they're going to do it anyway. Yeah, I don't let them do drugs. I just give them things that help them do it when they want reduces the amounts of death? She's saying they're going to do it anyway. Yeah, I don't let them do drugs.
Starting point is 00:18:08 I just give them things that help them do it healthier. So you don't kill yourself. There's a healthy way to do heroin? So you don't use dirty needles and things like that. People will go pick up needles out the street, and we don't want them to do any of that. Some people, they say they use antennas from cars. They break off antennas from cars to use it. So basically, you're prolonging their death,
Starting point is 00:18:24 because they're going to die eventually anyway. Maybe. Or hopefully get help at some point when they're ready. Or they get rehabbed. But the point that you make Charlamagne, because of that reason, so many of my clients were dying. Even like one of my co-workers died and that was like devastating. So actually I decided
Starting point is 00:18:40 I wanted to work with my clients before they became my clients and I am now a middle school teacher trying to help kids not go down that path. Got you, yes. All right, that's important work. We appreciate you. Well, thank you, Mama. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Have a good morning, all right? Thank you guys from the car. You too. Tell that baby we said what's up back there. Major, say hi. He's too focused on that damn tablet. He's saying hi. Oh, okay.

Starting point is 00:19:07 How old is he? He is 20 months. Okay. All right. Almost two. All right. Thank you, Mama. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us at any time. Yee, we got rumors on the way? Yes.

Starting point is 00:21:13 He told her not to hide her baby bump. And, yeah, this will be his third child as well. Did he get a divorce yet, or is he still? We don't know. He was married. We don't know if he's still married. Don't know if they're in the process of getting their divorce. Well, congrats to them.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I'll drop on the clues bombs for Rich the Kid. I can see why he didn't shoot Tori Briggs' club up. Drop on the clues bombs for Tori Briggs. That's the homie. South Carolina. All right, now Steph Curry is addressing these comments that he made about whether or not somebody really landed on the moon. If you guys remember, he was on the Ringer podcast,
Starting point is 00:21:45 winging it, and said this. Have we ever been to the moon? No. Nope. They're going to come get us. I don't think so either. Sorry, I was just talking to the space. They ain't been on the moon.
Starting point is 00:21:53 You don't think so? Mm-mm. All right, well, apparently now he's saying that he was obviously just joking, but NASA has already invited him to come, and I guess they want to show him some things to prove that, really, they did land on the moon. And so he said he is going to take them up on their offer
Starting point is 00:22:08 to check out their lunar lab and better educate himself. Well, the only reason people don't believe somebody landed on the moon, because if you look at the quality of the moon landing video now, it's trash. They need a new moon landing in HD. You know what I'm saying? Somebody got to put it up on the gram.
Starting point is 00:22:22 They got to show us landing on the moon in real time. It's just like looking at an old TV show. Old TV shows look trash. And you're like, damn, I can't believe I used to watch this. When you watch this old landing, you're like, I don't believe they really landed on the moon. It looks trash. Now, shout out to our girl Angie Martinez. She is doing this Kind AF Challenge.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Kind AF Challenge, that's the hashtag. And this holiday season, they'll be doing random acts of kindness. And basically, the rules are be kind AF to someone. Request act of kindness recipient to pay it forward. Post on social and challenge other friends to use it. You gotta use the kind AF challenge hashtag.
Starting point is 00:22:58 And then it's just congratulations. You just made the world a tiny bit better. Now if you remember, she had a man on her show who had given his shoes to somebody that was on the train. And he's actually helping pay it for it as well. Drop on the clues, Bob. Pleasure. Yeah, how you doing?
Starting point is 00:23:14 Hi. Nice to meet you. So our friend, you ever see the video on the subway, the guy who gave his sneakers to the homeless man in the subway? He's with us. He inspired us. So we do something, and then hopefully other people that know both of us. That's the goal. So free manicures and pedicures.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Yes, they gave everybody free manicures and pedicures. It's way easier to be kind to the strangers though. Because like, you know, it's hard to be kind to people you know because you might be reciprocating the same energy that they're giving you. They might be giving you some foul energy so you're giving it back to them. So it's easy to be kind to the strangers. Oh, I'm kind to my friends all the time.
Starting point is 00:23:46 I try to always go above and beyond for them. Well, she challenged me, so I'm going to be challenging you guys later on today. Yeah, and you know what? I told you I try to do five nice things for people every single day, but I never post them, so that's going to be weird for me, but I'm going to do it too. Challenge me to do something nice for somebody, so I'm going to go on Canal. Oh, so you've got to post it? Yeah, she wants you to post it, so it's a somebody. So you got to post it? Yeah, she wants you to post it.
Starting point is 00:24:06 So it's a hashtag so you can do it. So that people pay it forward. It's a challenge. Well, I'm going to challenge you today. I'm not posting. All right. Now, Issa Rae has signed a multi-picture production deal with Columbia Pictures. And under that agreement, they're going to work
Starting point is 00:24:22 with and back projects from emerging diverse screenwriters so congratulations to her for actually signing that deal and it's going to actually, that's a nice challenge right there. She'll be paying it forward as well for all these diverse screenwriters that could potentially blow up as well. Dropping the clues bombs
Starting point is 00:24:38 for Issa Rae, damn it. She deserves it all. Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. We got front page rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. We got front page news coming up. Yes, we are going to be talking about the governor of Tennessee who is considering clemency for Cyntoia Brown. She was 16 years old when she shot and killed someone
Starting point is 00:24:55 who was trying to solicit her for sex, a 43-year-old man, and she was sentenced to 51 years in prison. All right, and also Robert Townsend will be joining us next. A whole legend named Robert Townsend, okay? Ask your uncle, ask your aunt, ask your grandma, ask your granddaddy, your mama, your daddy about Robert Townsend. Just don't ask DJ Envy. You've seen the Five Heartbeats.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I ain't seen it. And he's doing a documentary of the Five Heartbeats. And I just found out the Five Heartbeats wasn't a real group this year. I thought it was a real group, too. I did, too, until this year, literally this year, when I went to go Google and see what was up with Eddie Cain. And I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:25:28 They weren't real? Goodness gracious. All right, well, we'll kick it with him next hour and also front page news is next.
Starting point is 00:25:33 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Trav in here asking me for drinks. I'm not going to get me drunk. No, I'm not. Trav is here. He snuck in the back door and he is here this morning. He's actually up me for drinks. I'm not going to. No, I'm not. Trav is here. He snuck in the back door, and he is here this morning. He's actually up here this morning. I'm actually very excited that Trav is here.
Starting point is 00:25:50 We're doing lip service later. I can't wait. It's going to be. As a matter of fact, me and Trav are going to have drinks this morning. It's going to be. Oh, let's take a shot right now. Okay. Boom.
Starting point is 00:25:57 After I do front page news, Trav. Got you. I'm working, okay? I know you're off from work today, but I still have to work. All right. Well, let's get in some front page news. Alright, oh, you got scores. No, no scores. It starts at night, football! The Chargers
Starting point is 00:26:09 take on the Chiefs. Alright, and Delta is going to be banning puppies and kittens from all of their flights. What's going on with Delta now? Alright, now here's the situation. They're going to ban service and emotional support animals under four months of age from all their flights starting December 18th. So I'm just
Starting point is 00:26:26 telling you this because I know a lot of people are traveling. Also, if your flight is over eight hours long, they will not allow you to bring emotional support animals on those longer flights at all, period. And that's partly to address animals that relieve themselves on the airplane. So wait a minute. They're going to ban
Starting point is 00:26:41 animals, support animals, emotionally support? You can't do that. If your flight's eight hours or longer. Oh, okay. On those planes. How do you check a dog's ID, though? How do you know if the dog's four months old or not? Like, the dogs have ID? How do you know? Do you have to bring paperwork on the plane? I never bought a pet on the plane. No, you just need that vest.
Starting point is 00:26:57 The vest that says in a note from a doctor. I'm talking about their age, though. How do you know how old the dog is? If they're saying they're banning dogs, how much a month? Four months? Under four months. All I got to do is say it's five months. Yeah, you can.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Exactly. How do you know? Same thing if you want to fly with a child on a plane. As long as the child's under two years old, it's free. They don't ask. You can't show paperwork and say, how old is this child? You just say, it could be a five-year-old. Kids are a little different.
Starting point is 00:27:20 You can eyeball a kid and be like, all right, that kid is such and such age. I was doing that for a minute until somebody pulled me over. I was like, I heard you on the radio. You said your son was three. I was like, all right, that kid is such and such age. He's 12, yeah. I was doing that for a minute until somebody pulled me over. I was like, I heard you on the radio. You said your son was three. I was like, all right, you got me. I'll pay for this ticket. No, he shouldn't have been talking so much on the damn radio. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:31 All right, Apple is going to be spending $1 billion for a new campus in Austin. They're going to create 20,000 jobs over the next five years, building that campus as well. They got it. Yeah, they definitely have that money. They also plan to build new offices in Seattle, San Diego, and Culver City over the next three years, and each of those offices
Starting point is 00:27:49 will have more than 1,000 employees. All right, in Tennessee, the governor, Bill Haslam, said he's considering clemency for Cyntoia Brown. We've been talking a lot about her.
Starting point is 00:28:00 She's a sex trafficking victim. She was sentenced to life in prison. She killed a 43-year-old man who solicited her for sex, but she was only 16 years old at the time. Now, her side of the story is that she thought he was reaching for a gun after she
Starting point is 00:28:13 turned down his request for sex, and that's when she reached in her bag, pulled out a gun, and killed him first. So it was self-defense according to her. But she has been sentenced and said that she has to serve 51 years in prison before she is eligible for release. So right now they're going to review her case
Starting point is 00:28:30 and consider whether or not they'll grant her clemency. Yeah, that young lady definitely deserves leniency on her sentence. She's a really young lady who never stood a chance. She was born with fetal alcohol syndrome, didn't have parents, forced into, you know, sex trafficking. Like, come on, man. Very sad. And Michael Cohen, who is sex trafficking. Come on, man. Very sad.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And Michael Cohen, who is Donald Trump's former lawyer, has to spend 36 months in prison. He will be going to one of the cushiest prisons in America, the prison that they feel that he's going to go to was named by Forbes as America's top 10 cushiest prisons. So he had tweeted back in 2015 to Hillary Clinton, at Hillary Clinton, when you go to prison for defrauding America and perjury, your room and board will be free.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Well, now he has free room and board. Congratulations, Michael Cohen. I think he's the first in a long line of people in the Trump administration that'll be getting incarcerated. Yeah, he said he was trying to protect Donald Trump when they had gotten that hush money and given that hush money to two women who had sexual relationships, allegedly with Donald Trump. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Well, that's front page news. Now, when we come back, the OG Robert Townsend will be joining us. Robert Townsend is a whole legend. If you don't know who Robert Townsend is, you probably know some of his work. You know, the Demeter Crown crown jewel is Five Heartbeats. Media Man, Baps. Baps, Hollywood Shuffle. He directed Eddie Murphy's Raw.
Starting point is 00:29:50 To me, he's just a creative genius. And I just found out this year that the Five Heartbeats wasn't a real group. All right. And I know I'm not alone. We'll talk to him next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The legendary. The legendary. Not just a special guest. Welcome, sir.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're talking about black Hollywood. You are one of the architects of black Hollywood, I would say. Well, thank you. You know, I mean, I've been in the game a minute, and I think, you know, kind of started it, jump-started it. You know, Hollywood Shuffle was one of the first films.
Starting point is 00:30:29 She's Gotta Have It came out in New York, and Kenan and I did Hollywood Shuffle in L.A. Was it easy or difficult for you to get films made as a black man in that era? Very difficult. We only did one black movie a year, so when I did Hollywood Shuffle, you know, it was kind of groundbreaking because now you got everybody that's writing, directing, producing, and picking up a camera. Back then, everybody was kind of a little scared.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Hollywood Shuffle was basically about a guy taking shucking and jiving roles that showed black people in a negative light, right? Like reinforcing the negative stereotypes of black people? Yeah, well, I mean, back then, the only parts that we were auditioning for were like slaves, runaway slaves. You got pimps, you got hustlers, the illiterate basketball players. So it was always those stereotypical roles. And so Kenan and I were thinking about, like, well, how do we flip the script?
Starting point is 00:31:14 How do we do a story about these images and kind of give our real truth? Why did Hollywood allow that at that time? Like, why did they let y'all make that movie? Because it was kind of like making fun of them in a way. You know, it wasn't Hollywood didn't didn't allow us you know we just you know we were being renegades i mean uh the whole legend behind hollywood shuffle was that you know i financed the film with my own personal money and then credit cards did you yes i really did so back then uh it was about a hundred thousand dollars to do the movie and then we eventually
Starting point is 00:31:43 did close to eight8 million. Wow. So, you know, so that's how the legend of, you know, Townsend started. I like this because people don't hear these stories. You know what I'm saying? They don't hear that you had to finance the movie yourself, you know, instead of beating down these white men, people's doors, begging them to do something. Well, you know, I mean, you know, when I look at the images, you know, back then, they were trying to keep us in a box.
Starting point is 00:32:03 And the more you see, you know, the ignorant brother on TV or some stupid stuff, then, you know, you dumb everybody down and everybody keeps, you know, dumbing down. And I think with Hollywood Shuffle, we kind of shook the game up a little bit and I think a lot of filmmakers were born because they go, if Townsend
Starting point is 00:32:19 can do it and Kenan can do it, I can make my own movies. Well, how did people watch Hollywood Shuffle but still end up shucking and jiving and dumbing themselves down? Especially black people. Uh, you know, people want to work. So, you know, part of the thing in Hollywood Shuffle was that, you know, you know, I, you know, we wrote the line, there's always work at the post office. But some people feel like, you know, if they could be on TV, you know, they don't care whatever part they're going to play. They just want to do the part instead of like, really
Starting point is 00:32:44 thinking about it and going like, you know, like my mentor, Sidney Poitier. That was the first cat I ever met when I got to Hollywood. I just wanted to meet him. And he had dignity back in the 50s. And he's just, you know, he broke it down for me. He says, man, it's the power to say no. And that's my mantra to this day. What do you think about some of these comedians and actors that play those type of roles? And they play them roles over and over and over again.
Starting point is 00:33:08 You know, the funny thing is that, you know, people got to work. Every man's got to live with his own conscience. And every woman's got to live with her own conscience. And so if you cool with it, that's for you. But, you know, the thing for me is that everything I've ever created, I'm really proud of. The fact that people watch it to this day, you know, different things. And so I think that's a testament to the work. Now let's discuss what we're here for because this is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you. The
Starting point is 00:33:36 Five Heartbeats. You have the documentary about the making of it. And I saw that you put on Twitter that Denzel and Whitney Houston were originally casted. You know what? I wanted to cast Whitney Houston in the part of Babydoll. And so I came to New York City to meet with her, her and her father. And we were this close to having her in the film. And then her agent said the part was too small. And so you see in the documentary where I talk about how Whitney called me and she says, I made a mistake.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I should have been in the Five Heartbeats. Maybe y'all did a great job, though. Yeah, Troy was amazing in the film, but she was going to be in it. That would have been crazy. Denzel was going to be my first choice to be Eddie King Jr., but then when Michael came in and I met with Michael, I was like, this is the dude to play Eddie King.
Starting point is 00:34:22 I didn't realize the Five Heartbeats wasn't a real group until this year. What? You know what? I saw you tweeted that, and everybody went crazy. They were like, you know, I thought y'all was real. Like, sometimes I go to the airport,
Starting point is 00:34:33 and people stop me and go like, when you guys gonna be touring again, man? When y'all dropping an album? Rob, when y'all dropping an album? Duck. You know, and I go like, no, no, I'm a filmmaker, you know, but people think we are a real group, but...
Starting point is 00:34:44 Those songs are like real songs that are, you know, could play like for real on the radio. Well, you know. Oh, you know the movie. Okay. No, Kenan and I are working on a Broadway show right now. Wow. We're working on a Broadway show. We got a top Broadway producer.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I can't mention his name right now. And he's going to work with us. And we also have a Grammy-winning blah, blah, blah, blah, blah with all these album of the years that's going to write new music. Go ahead, John Legend. I didn't say John Legend. I didn't say who it is. That's a good time because you see Motown the musical was there,
Starting point is 00:35:18 and then The Temptations have their musical as well. Who else? Cher has a musical out right now. That's going to be awesome. Thank you, thank you. So we're in the trenches now you know we've been you know we wrote us you know there's a song that when Eddie leaves the group when he you know gets all skinny and he goes gang there is a song that will break your
Starting point is 00:35:36 heart all those groups are real to see this is what mess me up about the five hobbies I'm watching it cuz you know it repeats all the time yes so something decided to make me pull out my laptop and say, let me Google and see what Eddie Kane and them doing now. Eddie Kane. And I'm serious. And it was like five heartbeats, fictional group.
Starting point is 00:35:49 And I'm like, this can't be real. They had a real soundtrack? I didn't know it was fictional until you just said it. How about that? Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Get out of here. And then I was reading about it. It was based off all these other different groups. I saw you tweeted about that and then
Starting point is 00:36:03 I saw all of these different people commenting like, they not real, they not real. What do you mean they not real? Oh my God, the five heartbeats. I wasn't that serious. I wasn you tweeted about that, and then I saw all of these different people comment like, they're not real, they're not real. What do you mean they're not real? Oh, my God, if I were them. I wasn't that serious. I wasn't even. I was so enthralled.
Starting point is 00:36:10 I was like, I had no idea the five of us wasn't real. I always knew it wasn't real. Wow. No, when I went to, me and Michael went to David Ruffin's funeral. It's in the documentary. You'll see. I went to the funeral. And when we went to the funeral, they had sections for the different groups, like the Four Tops over here,
Starting point is 00:36:26 the Temps over there, the Miracles over here. And the usher said, you know, like, we save seats for the hard beats because we knew y'all was coming. And I was like, dude, we're not real. And they had us sitting next to it, you know, so it was like a real group.
Starting point is 00:36:39 So what was the inspiration for that film? Okay, so here's the truth. When I was a kid growing up on the west side of Chicago, and I hear Herb Kent, the cool gen on WVON in Chicago, he says, the temptations are breaking up. David Ruffin is leaving the group. And when I heard that, I was like, that's the greatest group of all time. Why y'all breaking up hit after hit?
Starting point is 00:37:03 And in my brain, it was like, I want to know what happened. They sing all these beautiful love songs. Do they really have love in their lives? And then that became the catalyst to when I became an adult after Hollywood Shuffle, I said to Kenan, I want to do a story about what happened to a group like that. And so that's how it all started. So why are you doing a doc about it? The journey behind the movie movie you will not believe the the documentary is like a movie on
Starting point is 00:37:31 to itself I saw close to 10,000 actors to find the four actors to be in the movie I had open calls in New York open calls in LA open calls in Chicago in Chicago you see online this young cat in a group you know auditioning and I there was something about him I go like this dude got something wait a minute this dude really has something and then I talked to him and I had like thousands of people online the guy online was R Kelly get out of here audition for the 5RB and we have the video so when you see the documentary you see all the people.
Starting point is 00:38:05 You see a young Don Cheadle. You see Niecy Nash. Wow. It's all these people. You got all this footage? Wait until you see the documentary. Well, God saved you because they'd have been
Starting point is 00:38:13 pulling five heartbeats off all them repeats of R. Kelly. Why didn't R. Kelly make it? You know what? Because at that point, I had Choir Boy, I had JT, and I just didn't know what part he was going to play.
Starting point is 00:38:29 All right, we got more with Robert Townsend. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We still have Robert Townsend in the building.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Charlamagne? I was going to ask why you're doing a Five Hot Beats documentary, but I get it now. Let me say this. Nobody wanted the movie. All the studios passed in the building. Charlemagne, I was going to ask why you're doing a Five Hot Beats documentary, but I get it now. Let me say this. Nobody wanted the movie. All the studios passed on the script. So you see today, me and Kenan, we're writing the script, we hand it into the studio, we think we're going to get a green
Starting point is 00:38:56 light, and they say no. So how did they eventually end up getting greenlit? After three years, I got new managers, and this is all in the documentary, and then I got the green light. It had to be very difficult to explain black culture to white executives then because it's difficult now. So I can imagine back then.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Well, you know, let me say this. That was the first time you had seen five black men bonding, you know, like a family. They go through their fights, and at the end of the day, they have a picnic together, and they come back together and their family to explain that to Hollywood you know was a trip because they were like well aren't they all in jail you know shouldn't they all be thieves should they all be and it was just all the stereotypical stuff and then I was like no no we all we come in different you know we're not monolithic yeah we all are different types and and you know so when the five Harbys came out you know the movie bombedolithic yeah we all are different types and and you know so when the
Starting point is 00:39:45 five harbys came out you know the movie bombed at the box office it did it bombed i mean you'll see that's what i said you when you see the documentary you gotta see the most powerful scenes in there are when they're on that tour bus and they get pulled over by the cops and the cop or in the on the um in the car and the cops make them sing to prove that they're a music group and also you couldn't cover up the album when it was they had white people on the cover of the album instead of what they really looked like just To show the time period that came from the Dales, you know, when when when You know in the doc you you discover that the Dales are my technical advisors And there's a reason why and you got to see it
Starting point is 00:40:20 But then the Dales their first album cover was Oh What a Night, you know, like their big hit. And on the cover is a white couple on Michigan Avenue looking so much in love. And so when I asked them, I said, well,
Starting point is 00:40:31 why don't you guys get to be on your own cover? And then like, they're in their 70s and their heads went down like this. And then they said, the record company said
Starting point is 00:40:38 if they saw our faces, white people wouldn't buy the album. And so they said, well, your face can't be on it. He says, this will help you cross over.
Starting point is 00:40:46 And then that's when he gets into the whole conversation about the crossover, the double cross. Is the Five Hot Beats your crown jewel for your films? You know what? I've done a lot of different movies, so I don't say that that's the crown jewel because Meteor Man represents another part of me. Oh, we're going to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:41:01 You know, Vaps is another part of me as a director. Holiday Heart is another part. So all the different things I've created, you know, my body of work, you know, I think a real artist shows their versatility. They just show you that they can touch any kind of genre. You mentioned media, man. Before Black Panther and Luke Cage, there was media, man. What gave you the idea to do a black superhero back then?
Starting point is 00:41:23 And how did that do, too? How did that do in the box office? It didn black superhero back then and how did that do too how did that do in the box office it didn't do well either it didn't do let me let me say this because back didn't do well for you nothing no no you know let me let me say let me say this here's the thing at the end of the day those films are considered classics by a lot of people so when i did meteor man my nephew at the time, Greg Jr., it was Halloween. And, you know, I was like, are you going to be, what are you going to be for Halloween? Spider-Man, Superman, Batman?
Starting point is 00:41:53 He goes, I can't be them because they're white. And I was like, you know, he's a little kid, you know, but he saw color. And I was like, I got to create a superhero for, you know, people of color, for everybody, and I'll create my own rather than like, hey, I got to get a book or I got to get Marvel to give me one of the characters. I'll just create mine, you know, and I was ahead of the curve. You think Media Man was too jokey? Well, you know, let me say this. There was a part of, you know, the thing that it's very serious, but it's also jokey.
Starting point is 00:42:23 But, you know, there are people that go like, Media Man is movie and I'm just you know I'm a comedian so I'm gonna give you the funny rather than like be a dark superhero meteor man he comes you know I didn't want to do that I was like it seemed like a spoof of a superhero well it was but it wasn't you know like I thinkank Man was more of a spoof. Jesus Christ. You know what I mean? But I think... But I say Meteor Man because at the end of the day, he really did have to fight. He was slapstick in a way, but at the end of the day, you know, the Golden Laws really tried to come after him, and, you know, it was what it was.
Starting point is 00:42:58 What do you watch now? I'm still watching Dave Chappelle's show. You know, I'm old school, so it's like his stuff is really beautiful and funny to me. Haven't seen any new movies that I'm still watching Dave Chappelle's show. You know, I'm old school, so it's like his stuff is really beautiful and funny to me. Haven't seen any new movies that I'm like crazy, crazy about. But right now, in terms of television, there's shows that I got to catch up on, but I've just been writing, you know, working on the show, so I've been, you know, writing. Do you understand why Dave Chappelle walked away from the Chappelle show?
Starting point is 00:43:22 Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's a genius. I really, there's a few, you know, like Richard Pryor is a comedy guy. Eddie Murphy's up there. And I think Dave Chappelle, you know, because. And Rock, I throw Rock up there too. Yes, yes, yes. I throw Rock in there too.
Starting point is 00:43:36 You know, I mean, the thing for me is that I think that his brain, you know, because every laugh ain't a good laugh. And he heard those other laughs where, you know, because he's out there in the zone, you know, he heard that other laugh where it's like, wait a minute, they kind of laughing from some racism here. Laughing at me, not with me.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Not with me. And so I think I applaud him for, you know, for being that guy. Got you. I was going to say, you know, you talked about Dave Chappelle and we talked about Living Color. You think we'll ever see
Starting point is 00:44:06 comedy like that again on TV like that, sketch comedy like that? I think that, yeah. I think there'll be a new group that will emerge that will have
Starting point is 00:44:14 that kind of sensibility because that's real funny stuff. To me. And they'll be snatched off after the first episode. After the first episode, they'll be taken off the air. I think for newer comedians,
Starting point is 00:44:27 it's probably harder to because it's such a politically correct time. Like some of the ones that are already established, I feel like you can get away with more because you're already established, you've made it, but for people trying to make it,
Starting point is 00:44:38 they might be a little more cautious just because of the time. But you know, I really think it's the delivery of the joke. It's the comedy. Like Richard did it because he was like a kid. And Eddie made, I really think it's the delivery of the joke. It's the comedy. Like, Richard did it because he was like a kid. And Eddie made, I mean, Richard made a lot of fun of himself. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:50 No, I mean, Richard, you know, I mean, Richard Pryor, he signed me to my first deal when I came to L.A. Hold on, let's talk about that then, because, you know, there's all these talks about black gatekeepers in Hollywood and black gatekeepers let certain people in. Who let you in? Was it Richard? Richard Pryor was the first one to put me down,
Starting point is 00:45:06 but the first break I got was a movie called A Soldier's Story, and that was Norman Jewison directing it, and it was me, it was Denzel, it was David Alan Greer, it was Howard Rollins, it was a guy named Adolph Caesar. That was my first break where I got to be in a movie that was nominated for Academy Awards, and I got to be a regular person, and it was a quality movie. Wow.
Starting point is 00:45:30 That was the first one. So you would credit that guy as your gatekeeper? Norman whatever? You know, let me say this. Sidney Poitier said this. A lot of times people see, like, In the Heat of the Night, and he slaps the white dude, and, you know, it's like all this dignity and all this stuff. And he said something to me and he said there are men that don't look like us that care about making a
Starting point is 00:45:51 difference and you know you may say gatekeepers but then there's good people in the world too they say hey this this ain't right so you know you need those champions i call them champions right rob i gotta go i know man. I got so many questions. Let's make sure we watch this documentary. It's playing at the Maisel up in Harlem. It's going to be playing there until Thursday. It's the Maisel
Starting point is 00:46:16 Documentary Center. It's at 129th and Lenox Avenue. Then it'll be available in February on DVD and streaming services. All right. Hey, man, thank you guys so much for having me on the show. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I would love to. Thank you. Thank you. All right. It's Robert Townsend. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:46:34 It's DJ Envy, Anjali Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Salute to Robert Townsend for pulling up on us this morning. Mm-hmm. OG legend. And salute to Trav for pulling up on us this morning. Yeah-hmm. OG, legend. Now we've been on this- And Salute to Trav for pulling up on us this morning.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah, Trav is here. He has made my day so much better. If you don't know who Trav is, he's one of our very faithful listeners from Philadelphia. He's been calling into this show every morning. For how long, Trav? How many years now? I've been calling for about three years,
Starting point is 00:46:58 which y'all probably started noticing when I started calling about two years ago when I called into Red Charlemagne about Steve Harvey still not getting donkey of the day three years later, two years later. We're talking about Flint, Michigan. Dropping the clues bombs for Steve Harvey. My guy.
Starting point is 00:47:13 My goodness. It's my man. Dropping the clues bombs for Flint, Michigan as well. And we have been on this radio for eight years. Eight years. Eight long years. Yes, eight years. And we have been celebrating every day since our eight-year anniversary
Starting point is 00:47:28 by playing some of the best and the worst moments of The Breakfast Club. A little bit of everything. This moment I totally forgot about. I still don't even, I don't remember. Oh, I remember. I'm going to listen to this to refresh my memory, actually. Well, you used to call Jocelyn a man all the time on air. Listen, listen, listen.
Starting point is 00:47:45 And she came up here to confront you. Listen, I hate when everybody acts like I'm the only person who thinks something. When Jocelyn first came on the scene, everybody in their mama thought she was somebody's dad. No, I knew she had a vagina. I knew she was a woman. That's not true. Yeah, I definitely didn't think that about her. Come on, come on, Trav, since you're probably the only honest person in the room.
Starting point is 00:48:02 One thing I'm going to say is Cardi B is what Jocelyn wanted to be. Cardi B is what Jocelyn wanted to be. Okay. Art is why. Art is why. We all knew she was a girl. She had strong features. I never thought she was a man, but she definitely had very strong features.
Starting point is 00:48:17 She works out a lot. She's very, you know, toned. She could have played in Joanna Man Part 2. Oh, my goodness. See what I'm saying? All right, see? But you never thought she was a man Never thought she was a man Joanna Man was about a man
Starting point is 00:48:30 What are you talking about Trav Y'all just be talking to here Y'all selves Nobody thought she was a man But you approached her And let's hear it Mr. Breakfast Club good morning We have two special guests in the building

From Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, we have Stevie J and Jocelyn. Good morning, guys. What's up, Rihanna, man? Really, Charlamagne? Who are you talking to? She called me her undercover brother. I wasn't sure. Charlamagne, you got to get on the mic, Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:48:58 I have to call you. I have to f*** with you because you know you be f***ing with me. Absolutely, I do. And, you know, it's all love. I ain't mad at you. I just want to see the vagina. It's not a problem with you because you know you be absolutely and you know, it's all love I am mad at you I just want to see the vagina. It's not a problem with you, Stevie J. We want to make sure today For fact is she a woman? I don't know are you a man? Charlie man, are you a man? Are you a woman? Yes, you answer me that because I do hear that you get beat up around town
Starting point is 00:49:24 So let's not do I try to jump in You're a woman unless you answer me that because I do hear that you get beat up around town Yeah, they did try to jump you but I ran That's the interview. The interview. And then I would curse his mother myself. There we go. Because he got the wrong bitch. There we go. That's the interview. There we go. All them little fake-ass Hollywood bitches you hang with on your homegirls, Lala and them, the little fake-ass bitches. I'm not no fake-ass bitch. You don't got to disrespect her like that.
Starting point is 00:49:55 And I would check your mother, man. I'm not the bitch. I'm the wrong bitch. There we go. I got three, four dicks for you. And I can stick them where you want me to stick them. Wow. There we go.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Now that I would read. If that was Stevie J, and I can stick them where you want me to stick them. There we go. That I would love. Stevie J, does she stick you in places? No way. Three, four dicks for you, and she would stick them in any hole you want, Solomon. Look, I'll stick them in his butt. I'll stick them in his ear. Damn. In his mouth, in his eye, anywhere he might want me to.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Stevie J, that's how y'all playing? No, that's how I play with my cue. Not with my man. Listen, I'm going to run. I play like that. I'm not, there's no shame in my game. I'm not, I'm not fighting. Good morning America.
Starting point is 00:50:32 And I can honestly say, Jocelyn, you know, all jokes aside, you don't look like a man in person. Thank you. On TV, your face looks stronger than Dwight Howard's shoulders, but in person, it's not. That was awkward, man. CBJ should have snuffed me. You know what I'm saying? That's how I know CBJ never really liked Jocelyn. He J should have snuffed me. You know what I'm saying? That's how I know Stevie J never really liked Jocelyn, bro. He definitely should have snuffed me.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Ain't no way you're going to sit there and let a man talk to your woman like that. I'm glad we've grown as a show, man. Yeah, but those days were fun. Dropping a Clues Bond for that old breakfast club. That was fun. She said she still offered to put it in any hole you want. You want to take her up on that offer? No.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I'm a married man, sir. But if you wasn't, you never mind. Anyway. My woman can put stuff in my holes. We've had this conversation before. What did she put in you? Envy, I know you ain't going to talk, because we've got a whole other week left of eight years of the Best of the Breakfast Club,
Starting point is 00:51:20 and we haven't even gotten to 2017-18 when you and your little nine-and-a and a half inch dildo fiasco. We'll talk about that next week. Let's talk about your butt now. What about it? Never mind. Alright, when we come back we got nothing. When we come back we got rumors. What we talk about? Yes, what is the most searched clothing line on the internet for this past year? What could
Starting point is 00:51:40 it be? What popular designer? We'll tell you in the rumors. Alright, we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:51:51 What you laughing about, man? This funny-ass meme. All right, well, Trav is here. What up, Trav? What's going on there, brother? You got to turn his mic on if you want him to talk. It's on, it's on, it's on. Shout out to all my girls, my ladies, my big girl gang.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Hey! You're not even a big girl. She's talking about some head. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk about the most searched clothing line. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:52:20 So listen up. Well, what clothing brand was the most searched clothing brand of 2018 selling out when Cardi B dropped her clothing line in just minutes? Of course, it was Fashion Nova. According to Google's 2018 year in search findings, Fashion Nova beat out designers like Louis Vuitton, Versace, all of that. So congratulations to them. And with Fashion Nova men's line hitting right now, it's going to be
Starting point is 00:52:46 even more crazy. Proof! That nigga's going to egg. Why you say it like that? They're not on about black people. They're not? Not at all. Really? Negative. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:53:01 That takes all the wind out of my sails. I thought they were a black-owned company. No. But they are getting a lot of people paid, though. And, you know, shout out to Fashion Nova. When we did our Change for Change, they actually donated a nice amount of money to us. I think it was like $25,000.
Starting point is 00:53:15 And I was giving away Fashion Nova gift cards all day as well. Let me find out y'all making Melania Trump rich on the low and don't even know. It's not Melania Trump owns, by the way. Who owns goddamn Fashion Nova? Now I want to know. Who owns Fashion Nova? Just look at pictures
Starting point is 00:53:26 of Cardi B's posting him. Everything. You can see who it is, but it's not Melania Trump. I had no idea. I thought they were a black-owned company. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Now, LeBron, he did a post on Uninterrupted, and it's all about, remember when LeBron came back when he was playing on the Miami Heat and played back in Cleveland for the first time
Starting point is 00:53:43 since they found out he was leaving after he made that big announcement. And imagine how awkward it was. They were burning his jerseys. Here's what he had to say about what that day was like coming back to Cleveland. Everybody was kind of waiting for that moment when the schedule came out and seeing I was making my return.
Starting point is 00:53:57 I mean, my mindset going into that game was like, I'm going to tear their ass up. I will never forget that day, December 2nd, 2010. I'm about to head down to the bus, and on my floor, the elevator opens, and there's two guys that have LBJ t-shirts on, two of them. And the elevator opens, and when they notice it's me, one of the guys said, oh, can I take a picture with you? And when it's closing, he said, I'm not even from Cleveland. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:24 You know the craziest thing? When I travel a lot, when I see players staying in hotels, I'm really shocked that there's not more security. When I was in Charlotte recently, LeBron, the whole Lakers were there, and I was really shocked that they were just walking around the hotel with no problems, no security, nothing like that. I'm really shocked they shot at me.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Who gonna run up on 12, 6'10 people? Stick up kid. You know how hard it's gonna be to run out of the hotel, get in the elevator after all that happens? I highly doubt it. With security cameras everywhere. You think just because an NBA player has a multi-million dollar contract, they walking around with a million dollars in their pocket? Like, that would be a waste of time. And then a lot of times in hotels, you have to use your key card to even get in the elevator and go upstairs.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Yeah, I guess you're right. And then you can just run up. If you my height, right? 5'6", 5'7". 5'4". You can can just run up. If you my height, right? Five, six, five, seven. They can't five, four. You can't just run up on a 6'11 person and snatch their chain.
Starting point is 00:55:09 You know what I'm saying? You can hit them in a kneecap. You gotta have a 40, you gotta have a 40 inch vertical to snatch LeBron's chain if you five, six. Right. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:55:17 Try to slide his wallet out. And what kind of hotel are they staying in where that kind of element would just be floating around? That hotel, Envy. Everybody know where they stay when they're in town.
Starting point is 00:55:26 That big bus. You were there. Were you walking around with security? Yes. Liar. All right. I'm Angela Guillen.
Starting point is 00:55:33 That's your rumor report. All right. Salamang. Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? I am giving donkey today to some people who you hire security
Starting point is 00:55:41 to protect you from. All right. These two rappers from Houston named NFL Cartel and Maxo Cream. Maxo Cream. They both need to come to the front of the congregation because I don't know when you people are going to learn
Starting point is 00:55:53 that the things you do online will get you jammed up offline. We'll talk about it for after the hour. All right. That happens next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Your mornings will never be the same. Brought to you by Aquaman. On December 21st, join Aquaman on the epic journey to discover who he was born to be. The bridge between two worlds. Aquaman. In theaters everywhere December 21st. Home is calling. Rated PG-13. Charlemagne, say the gang. Donkey under the shade. Charlemagne. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit me with the heat. It's the Breakfast Club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Ed Sheeran, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, December 12th goes to two Houston rappers, Max O'Kream and NFL Cartel Bo. Now, I personally never heard of these two brothers before this situation, and I'm disappointed that we have to meet like this, but here it is.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Because of Max O'Kream and NFL Cartel Bo, 20 men are now facing gun charges because for whatever reason, people have not realized that what you do online can directly impact your life offline. Max O'Kream and NFL Cartel Bo have a record called Hoover. Now I tried to listen to the record, but I'm old. So I didn't get it. Sounds like a bunch of violent noise to me. I heard a line about an AK messing up your molecular structure.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I heard something about someone riding around with a tech in another bar about someone aiming above the neck and missing nothing. Maybe you can make out more than me in this record. Let's hear it. Watch your bed, I'm a doctor Watch your bed, I'm a doctor Let the chain get tougher Run a little mic, I'm over it People find that's a floor Alright, fart on that record, please. Confession, I don't know what the hell they were saying.
Starting point is 00:57:57 My producer, Dan, printed out the lyrics. That's how I knew what they were saying, okay? They were saying, ain't nothing smoother than a Hoover load. I tell you what, that may be a trash-ass record, but that load jingle would have been perfect for Hoover vacuums. Somebody at Hoover needs to make a commercial immediately. That is a great tagline for Hoover vacuums. Ain't nothing smoother than a Hoover.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Now, if you're rapping about that many guns, that much violence in a song, the video has to reflect that. Well, the video for Hoover definitely reflected that. Let's go to Click2Houston for the report, please. Styling themselves as Max O'Cream and NFL cartel beau, the featured rappers chose Lakewood Park next to Hilliard Elementary School to shoot their video. They did it at about the same time school was letting out.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Some of the kids actually got into the video. What also got in were about a dozen loaded guns, some of them stolen that were being used for props, and the extras holding the guns, according to police, all documented street gang members. Some people driving by saw men with guns here on the basketball court and called police. When police showed up, some suspects with open warrants were arrested on the spot, but much of the cast ran, leaving behind the weapons and small amounts of drugs. Two months later, the video was released online, and it was a hit.
Starting point is 00:59:13 But it's also the tool police use to track down and identify everyone in the video who was holding a weapon. Twenty have been charged with illegal possession of weapons, including rapper NFL Cartel Bo, also known as Warren Brown, a convicted felon. Brown was charged with illegally possessing two assault rifles and with threatening a police officer on the way to jail. He was released on bond in order to wear an ankle monitor. But police say he cut it off and disappeared. He's still on the run run along with eight other suspects. Of the 20 facing state charges, 11 have also been charged in federal court. And police say some of them were already wanted for questioning in connection with other unrelated crimes.
Starting point is 00:59:56 There's so much to unpack here. First of all, NFL cartel convicted felon had an ankle bracelet on, but he cut it off and he's on the run now. If I had a bunch of illegal guns and drugs and I shot a music video and the police showed up and i ran and i got away i would be ecstatic if i dropped my weapons at the scene and ran and got away i would definitely lay low forever because i don't know what's on those guns i don't know what can be traced back to me you ran away from the scene that is crime because that's what it was a crime you ran because you know you have warrants you know you have illegal weapons you know you had drugs You ran because you didn't want to get caught and go to jail. So why in the hell, two months later, would you post a video on Worldstar showing everyone who ran holding these guns? Seriously, serious question. What is considered snitching in this era? I really want
Starting point is 01:00:40 to know because law enforcement always tells people if they see something, say something. Don't nobody say more about what they see than the people who are actually committing the crimes nowadays law enforcement has the easiest job in the world because eventually all crimes will be solved and resolved because you negroes are addicted to social media all right criminals turn rappers rappers turn federal agents oh all of y'all work for law enforcement and don't even know it i'm reading the article right here It says verbatim on complex.com and you heard the news report. Police used this video to track down
Starting point is 01:01:10 the men holding weapons and arrest them. Duh! Now 20 people have been charged with illegal possession of a weapon. 11 have been arrested and 9 others are still on the run for no damn reason. Because it's only a matter of time before they get caught. And they probably will get caught because of social media. Especially now that this story is in the news you think they gonna miss
Starting point is 01:01:29 their chance to shine if we invited them on the breakfast club right now they would show up and do an interview on camera talking about how they on the run all right i just want people to pick a side you can't do crime and be a professional rapper the two don't mix either you want to carry guns push drugs kill people or you want to rap. I know a lot of rappers have confused you over the years, but trust me, a lot of these guys are just talking about what you brothers are actually doing. And I have said for years, if rappers were really doing what they said they were doing in their raps, majority of rappers would be dead or in jail.
Starting point is 01:02:01 And NFL Cartel and Max O'Kream are proof of that. Please let Remy Ma give NFL Cartel and Max O'Kream are proof of that. Please let Remy Ma give NFL Cartel and Max O'Kream the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother****** are you dumb? And you know, I'm on record some years ago saying that I love when gangster rappers do actual gangster things. In my
Starting point is 01:02:18 younger years, I used to love the ignorance of people who actually were living their raps. But as 1 Corinthians 13 11 says, when I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child. I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
Starting point is 01:02:30 And being a real street nigga is quite childish. Only because for so long in the hood, we equated real to being something criminal. And I'm sick of seeing my brothers glorify crime in their music. And P.S., guns in your video don't make your song sound better. Okay? Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:49 All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next is Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Sharon. Hey, Sharon. What's your question for Yee?
Starting point is 01:03:14 Hi, Yee. Good morning. Hey, Sharon. I'm happy to finally get through. I never could get through. But I have a question. Me and my son's father, we've been together for four years. And two years into our relationship, we had got a domestic partnership.
Starting point is 01:03:30 So actually the anniversary for that is coming up on December 15th. So I recently posted on Facebook back in like October that we was going to get married that day. So when he seen it, he kind of reacted in a way like, oh, it's kind of rushed and, you know, all this other stuff. And then a month later, I found out that I was pregnant. So I was like, OK, maybe we could push it back. Maybe I could just have the gender reveal. And, you know, we just, you know, think about another day for the wedding.
Starting point is 01:03:59 He was fine with that or whatever. But recently, just yesterday, we were talking and I was telling him how I'm never satisfied. Nothing really makes me happy completely. And I admit that. I do have an issue with that. So I said to him,
Starting point is 01:04:14 I said, maybe, you know, if we get married and you're my husband, maybe I'll feel like my life is complete and maybe I will be satisfied and then I'll be happy. He proceeded to say,
Starting point is 01:04:24 oh, even then, you still won't be happy. Like, what is that? Like, how could you say something like that? I was not looking for that. I was looking for him to be supportive and say, you know what, baby? You know, one day we're going to have this day. But Sharon, I would say in a way, I'm going to have to say he's right about a certain thing. You don't wait until after you get married to say
Starting point is 01:04:45 well maybe when this happens this is going to complete me because it really might not. You got to be complete as a person before you get married. I'm not saying that I'm not complete. And you have to be in a good space in your life. You admit, which is great that you can admit that you have some issues as far as not being
Starting point is 01:05:01 satisfied. You need to work on those things before you guys decide to spend the rest of your life together and make that commitment. I think a lot of times people think that once we sign these papers and get married and have this ceremony, that's going to fix everything, and that's not true. You got to fix those things first.
Starting point is 01:05:16 And obviously nothing is perfect, but work on that. Right, right. But still, like, four years, and before him, I was in a relationship for almost 10 years, no commitment. Like, it's just, I was in a relationship for almost ten years, no commitment. Like, it's just, I don't want to repeat the same, you know, thing. I'm not trying to push it more than he's,
Starting point is 01:05:31 you know, pushing it, but I feel like I want it more, you know, than he wanted. Like, every time we talk about it, or I bring it up, or whatever, it's not that he ignoring it, it's just, like, I guess he's tired of hearing it, but, like, what is gonna happen out of the four years? I feel like I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place.
Starting point is 01:05:49 So what you guys should do is set a deadline for when you're going to have a discussion about it. And you need to work on whatever it is that you both need to work on as individuals and what you're bringing into the relationship. And then say, OK, in a few months and if it's six months from now, let's revisit this and see where we're at. But come up with that agreement and work on yourself first. Yeah, I guess so. So give yourselves a date that y'all gonna sit down and talk and see where you got to by that point, but don't
Starting point is 01:06:14 think that we're gonna get married and it's gonna fix everything. But you don't think that was wrong for him saying that? Like, for moral support, I was not expecting that. You wanted a certain answer from him and that's why you said that. And he didn't give you the answer that you wanted, but he was honest with how he felt. And that just means that y'all got some things to work on. I guess so. Maybe I do be overdoing it. Maybe the pregnancy got me going like crazy. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Right. It could be. And it's not a bad thing. You said he's not saying it's off the table. He does want to do it, but you can acknowledge that there are certain things first before we get to that point. Let's fix these things as best as we can and learn how to deal with it. We always have problems. It's how we deal with those problems. Yeah. So you think, like, maybe, because people ask me, like, go to counseling. But I'm like, that's for, like, married people.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Sharon, go to counseling. That's great that he wants to do that. You'll be surprised what can come out of it. You should go. I think it's fantastic. That means that he's looking at this as a long-term thing. You gotta be receptive too. I guess so. I'm just so against like therapists and all that. I feel like when you go
Starting point is 01:07:18 see those type of people, you can't resolve issues on your own. How do you know? Have you ever gone? I've never, no, I've never gone before. Okay, so you don't know. It's helped a lot of people. So you should try it. It might be something phenomenal that comes out of it for you. But the fact that he's making these suggestions and you're shutting them down,
Starting point is 01:07:35 that's not a good sign either. That's very stubborn of you. I guess so. He says that a lot too. Like, I'm so stubborn. Like, you won't even agree. You'll just say, I guess so. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:07:47 I don't know. See, you won't even agree. You'll just say, I guess so. Maybe. I don't know. See, you were about to say it again. I'm really trying to work on it. Open up, Sharon. Open up. Okay. Thanks, Angela. You're welcome.
Starting point is 01:07:57 All right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you got a question for Yee, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:08:07 We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Manny from Atlanta. Hey, Manny, what's your question for Yee? I was just trying to see, like, I've been hitting people up on Instagram, like DJ Greg Street, and I would hate to be, like, annoying and persistent, but I'm trying to like get into a new field what do you think is the limit when you're like trying to contact someone well first
Starting point is 01:08:30 of all I don't know yes things can happen for you off Instagram but you have to do a great follow-up because people are constantly getting messages and bombarded by people so we have to see how professional you are so what that means is I think Instagram is fine for an initial contact and then take it off of social media so ask for an initial contact and then take it off of social media. So ask for an email address or an assistant or somebody that you can send information to or if they can refer you to someone else because you don't want to put it all on that person. So if you're trying to get a job at a radio station or working with somebody, I think it's important to go through the proper channels and not just hit someone on Instagram. For some
Starting point is 01:09:04 people, Instagram is more of a fun thing to do. And also, you know, they don't want to just hire somebody off of there. So you need to take it to the next level for people to see how professional you are. Okay, do you think it'd be weird to, like, go to the radio station? Like, I don't want to be that creepy guy, but... I would rather that you go to an event where people are invited to and approach someone there
Starting point is 01:09:24 than pop up at the radio station. You know, it depends on that. You never know what could happen, but you know, if there's a way you can establish a connection with somebody who works in human resources or another person there that you can actually sit down and interview with before you get to that, but just go through certain channels
Starting point is 01:09:39 so that people also don't feel like, why is this person harassing me or stalking me? I understand. You might have well ask Andy one more question. Hey, Andy, when are you coming to Atlanta for real estate classes? You know, it's funny. I'm going to try to come the weekend of Super Bowl, the Thursday of Super Bowl. We're trying to lock in a place there. So I'm trying to shortly, soon, very soon.
Starting point is 01:09:58 You trying to do a Groupon deal? Because I got a couple of friends, but we ain't trying to pay that $100 for a person. We'll work it out. We sponsor some people to go as well. But yeah, we'll try to work it out. All right, I'll DM you. You don't check it, but I'll DM you. I'll check it. When it comes to real estate, I always check it.
Starting point is 01:10:14 All right, bro. Appreciate it. All right, well, let's go to another line. Hello, who's this? Lani. Hey, what's your question for you? Basically, my question is, if a man has a micropenis, but has a lot of support for himself, what should I do?
Starting point is 01:10:26 All right, so his penis is really small, but everything else is great. Can you still get an orgasm? Not really. Why are you laughing, Trav? Girl, leave him! Are you still able to orgasm? Do you enjoy having sex or is it terrible? It's terrible. Basically, like, it's thick enough where I can
Starting point is 01:10:44 feel something, but it's just the length of it, it's thick enough where I can feel something, but it's just the length of it is like a micropenis. Oh, man. Does he go down on you? Are there other things that he does that kind of supplement that? He's one of those guys that doesn't like to give oral eye drops. Oh, he's got some nerve. He's Jamaican?
Starting point is 01:10:58 No, he's Dominican. Well, then you guys need to have a conversation. I'm sure he's quite aware that he has a small penis And maybe he even feels a way about it How are you going to have that conversation? I'm just curious How do you start that off? I wouldn't say that you have a small
Starting point is 01:11:14 But I would be like, you know, sexually I think there's more things we need to experiment with And I really need you to do oral as well For me to be satisfied That's going to break his heart No, it's not I can tell you what to say, girl Let him know there's too many men out here with bigger meat.
Starting point is 01:11:25 True. He was not dealing with that in 2019. He has a lot of going for himself, though. He has three masters. He has a great job, like 15 hours. Yeah, you got to do something to make up for the fact that your penis is small. Exactly. Are you in love with him?
Starting point is 01:11:40 It's been about a year now, and I don't know. Are you in love with him? Yes or no? Don't think about everything he has going for him. You just think it's a good idea. Are you in love? No. Okay, well, a lot of times we try to be with, and I've done this, somebody who's good on paper.
Starting point is 01:11:56 This would be a great idea. But if you don't feel it, you don't feel it, literally. Exactly. And they should do oral, you know what I mean? Right. It doesn't feel like you love him anyway. You're trying to force it You can't force it
Starting point is 01:12:06 Yeah I know exactly Okay Too much meat out here girl Yeah Alright good luck babe Of course Thank you you too

And this is also a historic year because Stevie Nicks made it, and she's made it in as a solo artist.

So fans vote on the nominees they want to see, and the top five artists are made up of a fans ballot and all of that, so that's counted as a single vote. So anybody can go vote?

Yeah, people can actually get you to go and vote and be like, hey, vote for me, so that's how it happens. I just think it should be the Music Hall of Fame. You're not going to sit there and tell me that LL Cool J is not a whole legend.

I knew my mother was dying and I sat with my mother and I said,
Starting point is 01:15:34 I don't know if you're going to make it. Do you think you're going to make it? And she said, I don't think I am. And I had a conversation with her about what that felt like. And then I said to her, what a wonderful thing to be able to say goodbye because she's completely coherent. I stood in the doorway and I said goodbye. And I knew it was going to be the last time I said goodbye. Although I didn't say to her, this is the last time I'm going to say goodbye.
Starting point is 01:15:57 So I went and I spoke in Boston and I knew that the next day I had a bunch of meetings in California and I canceled all of those meetings, and I went back to Milwaukee because I felt like I had not closed it. I knew it was the end, but I wanted to make sure she knew it was the end and that I said everything I wanted to say. Ooh, that's tough. All right, in addition,
Starting point is 01:16:19 she told us what some of her final words were to her mom. And what I said was, thank you. As a young girl having a baby in Mississippi, no education, no training, no skills, 17, you get pregnant with this baby. Lots of people would have told you to give that baby away. Lots of people would have told you to abort that baby.
