Now, if somebody's out there while you repossess them, do you give them a little shot, a little chance to say, get out of here or are you taking it?

That's right. Hello, who's this? This is Frankie. But look, I was calling. Look, check this out. So I just bought a car. I don't know what my luck is with cars. In the last 10 years, I had nine cars.

I done bought a car 12 days ago. I wake up this morning, it won't even start. Oh, wow. Yeah, well, maybe you should go to a dealership that offers a warranty. I bought my last one from Kia. Well, you should have a warranty on it then, right? Yeah. No, I got to wait for it.

I got to wait for it to open up, and I'm going to take it right back to them. Because, like, look, you know, I pay for him, I gotta wait for him to open up and I'm gonna take it right back to him because like, look, you know, I pay for what I pay for, 12 days, that's not adding up. McCall,

let's eliminate him. Not a math, yeah, but you should usually get it from a dealership, they'll give you warranty if there's an issue or problem, they'll give you a loan

until they fix it. Oh yeah, most definitely, I've been on it all morning, I'm just, you know, I got to wait for him to wake up,

somebody's been in there. Somebody. And didn't get out. You know what I'm saying? He said, ugh. This ain't funny. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

This here is serious. Congratulations to you, though. Thank you so much. That's really awesome. I appreciate that. I'm really happy for you. Do you make your movie, I mean, you make your music

for those moments that get you pregnant? Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's, I mean, that was kind of the point in the beginning.

You know, like, everything we do is for the attention of a woman or women for that matter, depending on how you plan it you know i'm saying so for me musically like i want to be connected to as many of those moments as humanly possible i want to be responsible for bringing life into the universe have people come up to

you and said that my girl because you i shot the club i've met the kids he's here because of you yeah no i'm i was born because because I've met, I'm that old now. You know what I'm saying? To where I've met the children. The offspring of my music. So I'm really proud of that. Absolutely. I see it feels like R&B, especially the

90s, 2000s, R&B has picked up a lot more. Have you noticed that as well? Absolutely. The feeling. Right? The feeling of I was going to ask you that. The feeling of it is what's back. People want to. And what's crazy is that, of course, I give credit to the women for keeping R&B in the mainstream conversation. They have been kicking ass and taking names right but i gotta give some credit to hip-hop to the sampling of all of this oh yeah

old r&b um that they've been bringing back to the forefront and making people take a deep dive into what those samples are and rediscovering the original feelings and now desiring those things give me some examples i was just listening to doja Cat. Doja Cat just did it. She just had a newborn record. With the Troop record. I mean, it was originally Jackson 5, but all I do is think of you. Dang it. I was like, ugh.

You remember the first time you heard Troop? Shout out to Lil' Steve and them, like, Chucky Booker and them? That type of production? They don't even do that no more more so you have to actually outsource it by going to the crates you know what i'm saying and bringing that feeling back and and they don't know why it's connecting we know because we were there right yeah but it's it's something about that frequency that just makes you feel good like even when you my way like like your first you did it with yourself with your own music when you recreated i first, you did it with your own music. With my own music. Like when you recreated I Deserve.

Yeah. And was it, no, it wasn't Please Don't Go. You recreated two. I did, well, one of my own with I Deserve. I was like, let me sample it before somebody else sample it. Because they're going to take all the money. That is so good. And then I went.

No, it was a Brian McKnight one that you did. You featured Chris Brown. It was Brian McKnight, originally Michelle and Dick Ocello. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So there was that and i was like you know what i might as well get in on this too because we rarely do that and i was like let me just tap into some old and of course brian goodnight you know one of my inspirations growing up and michelle and dick ocello just absolute one of my favorites um so i just had to get some of that i was gonna ask you man that was one of my questions I have for you. Is R&B music a sound or a feeling?

It's both. Okay. It's both, because it's like the feeling is expressed through the sounds. You know what I mean? Think about Devante. How was he feeling when he made that, when they were making Jodeci music?

What was he on? You made that? When they were making Jodeci music. Like, what was he on? You know what I'm saying? When Casey says, take my money. Jesus Christ. My house and my car. House and my car. For one hit of you. Okay, Sean.

Ain't no **** that good. Let him work. Let him work. You gotta mean that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In order for it to resonate. Like, yes, you can take my money, my house, and my car for one hit of you. I mean that to this day.

To this day, I mean that. But you don't hear that now. Out of that soul and that feeling. That's just a slick way of telling somebody, I'll give you the world. That's what you slick way of telling somebody, I'll give you the world. Yeah, but we moved into this, you know, kind of, you know, simp and all of these things when it comes to taking care of women. Or expressing love. I just think that men are just, they've been programmed to not be vulnerable.

You know what I'm saying? They've been programmed to not um to not cater i don't know who started that you know i'm saying it ain't pimping it ain't player you know i'm saying because all the pimps and the players i grew up watching taking care of their women but where did it end like what era did it end because even early trey songs was was singing his ass off to the women expressing his love i think it was when the R&B singers started wanting to be rappers and when a lot of these

R&B singers probably started having sex with the rappers. I don't even know what that means. Not saying that a man can't make songs about another man

and it still be a love song. Just saying, I think that they started loving on each other so much that they really was on some F the women stuff. Yeah, and I think... I wish I could've seen Tank Faze. Tank was like, what the... No, but I also think that, started loving on each other so much that they really was on some after women stuff yeah and i wish i could have seen tank face he was like what the no but i also think that you know you know with with the with the wanting to be with with hip-hop's emergence right it became

this really cool thing that was taking over everything the the airwaves the radio the clubs and all of that and so as r&b artists getting left behind we're trying to figure out how to compete and stay relevant and so you in the club and you you know you're a decently hot artist but none of your songs are being played in here and all the songs are about bottles and they're about cars and they're about money and it's about it's not about women it's about and so it's like yeah i gotta incorporate some of this into my music if I'm going to survive in this new landscape. And so as we took that turn or as R&B took that turn and never found its balance. I think it's the DJ's fault.

And I'll tell you why. Because there used to be a time when we was growing up in the clubs, there would be a moment where the slow songs played. Yeah. Absolutely. Regardless. Y'all don't turn down now. Everybody be on too much drugs. Well, yeah, yeah.

I mean, there was a time, and usually it was at the end of the party, but now it comes back. Now I have a set in the middle of my party where I play R&B music in the set, and that's usually the biggest part of it because people are singing. They feel how it felt to be during that time. All right, we got more with Tank when we come back. Don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club

and Tank is in the building. Jess. We're about to go on tour with another OG, Carl Thomas. Carl Thomas. Yes. One of the greatest R&B albums

of all time. Oh my God. Not even close. And people, I've seen people ask me, you know, people ask me why, you know,

why you choose Carl Thomas, why you choose Kerry Hilson. I'm like, you don't hear it. Emotion is literally one of the greatest R&B albums. Like you don't, you don't hear it.

Top to bottom. Love making music. You know what I'm saying? Like when we down at them doo-wops with Mike Garner down in Miami and them Carl Thomas records come on, it's a thing. Absolutely.

S*** really happens. Listen. Play some of them Kerry Hilson records. Like, things happen. Yeah. I was like, first of all, I want to go on tour with my friends. I want to go on tour with people I like. But then, two, I want to be out there.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson the first King of Kaperburg. I am the supreme leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with

a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my

face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

And everybody but TGT. Ain't nobody no Tyrese and Genuine. What's up with that? Yeah. But you was in the studio with Reese. I saw you in the studio working on My Beautiful Pain. I was over there.

Yeah. I think, you know, I think we're at a great place, man. We're at a great place where I think now we all, everybody collectively sees the value in what we are and what we created and it's again it's this resurgence of just that feeling of r&b so you got you got two guys from the 90s who got classic catalogs. You got me coming in from the 2000s who came up under these guys. And people are hungry and thirsty for that.

And so you're going to see some TGT, you know, fortunately. Thank God. You got an album? No, I don't know if we have an album, but we do have a couple moments that we were lining up that are going to be very special so that's all that's all i can really really say about that

and i saw you the other night man i forgot i don't know where y'all was at but flavor flay was singing he was what was i forgot what he was singing was it uh we were honoring they were honoring um i don't want to get this wrong the bp i don't remember see there i can't i don't want to get this wrong. The BP. I don't remember. See there. I can't. I don't want to mess up the name of the organization. Ashana hit me and was like, we're honoring Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. And we need you to do what you do. And I was like, cool.

I mean, you say Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. I mean, I don't care what it is. And so we're honoring them. And Babyface is there. And, you know, I don't want to pressure Babyface to sing, but he's there. And I'm like, Babyface, if you want to sing, you can. You don't have to. And they started playing one of his songs, and we were singing,

and Face was like, no, no, let me handle that. And he started singing. Just Flavor Flavor just came out of nowhere and just started singing. You looked surprised that he could hold a note. No, that wasn't a surprise. It was just like, think about it. Why'd you take the mic from Babyface to give it to Flavor Flav? There we go.

My thing is Babyface is singing. Gotcha. All right? Yeah. And Flavor Flav has the gall and audacity to take the mic from Babyface. To run up and start singing

against Babyface. Why didn't you stop it? That's why the game needs referees, Tank. You're supposed to stop that right there. You're big enough to stop and pause.

At that moment, right, it only goes one way. It only looks like disrespect in front of that many people yeah you know i'm saying like to great now it's now it's flavor flay he is flavor flay right let's not discredit him he is who he is and then i run up on him saying baby face sing

hold on right now hold on hold on can you disrespect baby face in a way? Babyface has to fight that battle. Listen, and don't think that if Babyface felt a way, he wouldn't have handled it. Right. Babyface is, listen, the songs are nice and soft and meek. Babyface is not. He's a nice guy, but he's nobody's sucker. I promise you, if he felt a way, he would have. And I was kind of following his lead. Gotcha.

If Babyface would have looked like he wasn't feeling it, then we would have handled that way. But it was all in good fun. It was all in good fun. Well, R&B money, The Vault is out right now. Say it again. The Vault is out right now, and we appreciate you for joining us. We'll be out on the 26th.

One night we were in bed and she was telling me, she was like, look, one of my friends recommended this rose. And when I tried it, she was like, yo. She said it got to the point I had to stop. It was going so my body was shaking.

My fingernails were shaking. She was like, it was something I've never seen, like an out-of-body experience. And I felt the way. Damn. Like I was like, word. No doubt I'm going to sleep. And she was like, damn, you ain't even asked me no questions. I said, I didn't want no questions.

I definitely turned my back. I definitely turned my back. Okay. So we had a discussion and I was like, yo, I feel a little way.

Like I felt insecure and kind of jealous of the Rose. Yeah. So, you know, the question is 800-585-1051. Do people feel the same way like I did? Like I even took the batteries out Jesus yeah

That's crazy. So you get upset? Yeah, I get upset because I'm like, you promised me one thing, then you used, you know what I'm saying, your junk. So then I don't want to get them.

what's up with you Jazz what's your thoughts Jazz good morning my thoughts is yes men do get

into trouble as far as you using the rose I had the same issue with an ex-boyfriend

of mine and the current boyfriend of mine but I just decided not to use the rose just to not get into that. But, Envy, I see why

you brought the topic up, because that ain't nothing to do with y'all talking about today. Yo, woman, y'all talk to each other all the time back there. You know what I think? I wonder if men are getting jealous, Or if they feel

More so like the brother Who just called Feel like Once a woman does it Yeah She don't want Them anymore Yeah

Like she done You know Got her fix The sensation is already fulfilled Like it's already You know what I'm saying I wonder if they're more Disappointed that they didn't

Get some As opposed to being jealous Vito Yo Talk to me Vito Yo what's up, man? Hi, so I'm listening to you, right? And how I do it,

I think you kind of look at it wrong. Instead of resisting the road, you got to look at it as part of the team now. You know, y'all family. That's right. You got to incorporate it to the whole situation. It's going to work out for you, I promise. It's a tool, bro.

It's a tool. Look at it like it's a tool. When you around the house, there's certain things you know. When your toilet clogged up, what do you grab? The plunger. The plunger. You need a tool. Look at these things as tools, man.

You're looking at it all wrong. It's a tool, bro. Pops, what you say? Jess Alaris pops his head. We got OG. What you say, Alaris pops his hand We got OG What you say OG Come to the mic OG Oh god

Turn OG mic on Ladies and gentlemen This is Jess Alaris He's pop He's spending the day with us Why would y'all Throw my phone in this Cause he's the OG

OG cab What's happening Before there was a Rose OG What do you say OG When he's American What I feel is I would be upset for a while But then I think

It frees up time For SportsCenter What? I never really Watched the whole thing But I think What the Rose adds To the element is

I get to watch The front half And the back half Okay Cause it gets things done So she good Yeah okay okay I see what you're saying

I never look at it Like that OG Sometimes you can just Get more done for yourself You know I got Bowling Yeah so you'd be tired More so like You just like you tired, you know, I said all the time So it's like you you you appreciate the rules like I'll go maybe I'll go first and let the rules finish up

You know Think you should always let the roles open up for you though. Because then you ensure she get hers. So if you get in there, you know what I'm saying? And it don't take long. But that's the problem. The roles takes care of all. The roles, we tied after the roles. It's like, alright, so we no, no. You never let the roles open up. You let the

roles headline. Okay? The guy opens up and then you're doing a lot. I know. I understand. 585-1051. If you're just joining us, I was talking about me and my wife's podcast. We have a podcast called the Casey Crew Podcast. We were talking about one night she was telling me about the rose that one of her friends

recommended to her. She got it. And she was like, the rose was this and that and the other. And it made me feel a way. Like it made me feel a way where I hit the battery. I just want one story. I just want one of you actually satisfying your wife. Just one.

There's a million of them. You don't listen to podcasts. I need to start listening. You need to listen to podcasts. These stories that you be presenting, they don't tell that tale. There's millions of them. There's millions of them. We ain't heard one.

You don't listen to them. Because that's normal. Since you've been working here, have you heard one? Oh, my God. No six-sex stories. I got six have you heard one? No success stories. I got six success stories. All right. No, that's no.

That don't mean they were success. Yes. Don't play. Them kids came out to deal. That's right. Six success stories. Hello. Hello.

Who's this? Yo, what up, though? This is Rio. Rio from Detroit. What up, though? Talk to us, Rio. Man, look, Envy, bro. Look, I'm telling you.

You can't beat the machine, bro. You got to join it. You got to join it, bro. You can't beat it. It's there. It's here already. We got to deal with it. It's like AI.

You ain't going to be able to fight it. You better learn to use it. Man, you got to use it on her. Don't let her use it on herself. You got to use it on her, and you add your little thing to it. I'm telling you, bro. She can use it all she wants to, but she ain't going to get the sensation like how you use it on her and you add your little thing to it i'm telling you bro she can use it all she wants to but she ain't gonna get the sensation like how you use it on her you feel me and i'm glad you said that my brother because that's why i keep saying it's a

tool when you when you and that thing together are working as one now you're really doing something but see dad no you ain't really doing nothing but hurting her. You trying to kill the cat, basically, because what the rose is designed to do is everything all in one already. So you either use the rose to get you excited, but don't go all the way in, let the man finish, or you let the man hit, and you ain't done,

and then you use the rose, because only you know your body. You know your body more than the man. That thing is powered up, especially when it's freshly charged or the batteries. You can be doing other things while the world is working. You can be kissing on her neck. Yeah, stuff like that. But if there's too much construction going on down there, it will get destroyed.

Let the world do its thing. You handle the rest. Because it's like 17 modes. And then it's all know Then it's Okay Jesse And then it's all types of cycles So you don't want to beat it up Like You'd be like dang

And then you'd be running Your daddy's like 17 Somewhere like this big Yeah I know But the power in that thing Is crazy So no Just let her do it

And then you Yeah like you said You kiss on her neck Get in the mood Talk to her Cause roses can't talk Roses can't talk So you have to talk to her But you said You kiss on her neck Get in the mood Talk to her Cause roses can't talk Roses can't talk So you have to talk to her

But you know You know what I feel Disgusted about The fact that You know what I have In my mind What Charlamagne walking

Around his bedroom Butt ass naked With a utility belt With all the toys On one side A rose on one side A block of 3000 On the other side

And anal plugs in the back Like that just You know what disgusts me What The fact that Gia ain't orgasm In 10 years Yo shut up man Okay you already told us The block of 3,000 on the other side and anal plugs in the back.

with joy yeah because there's a lot of unhappy people yeah and i mean if you look at the internet you can see it's a lot of like it's a lot of hate and anger and sadness out there and i i could like you know combat that with the same thing or i could say you know what look i'll curse you with some joy because you obviously are not happy. So I'm sharing some stories in this book. It's a series of essays, if you will. And I'm sharing some dark things about my existence and how I find the bright side of it. You know, what got you to the point to write the book?

Was it a particular comment? Was it something that somebody said or you just was all of the above? No, I'd always wanted to do that because the first book, Tiffany Haddish, The Last Black Unicorn, that first one, I had edited down. I had took a lot of stuff out because it was too long. I don't like super long, but I don't like them too long. Personally, if I'm not going to read it, why would I expect somebody else to read it? Right. So I took a lot out.

So on this next book, I curse you with joy. All the stuff that I had took out the first book I put in this book, plus more of the journey of being this, you know, shot out of a cannon star, I guess you would say. And it's been it's been an interesting journey. You guys have known me since the beginning of the journey. You guys have seen the whole ups and downs and all of that i'm like this is the craziest roller coaster and nobody gives you a manual on how to be famous nobody gives you a manual on how to handle uh certain

things and uh you have to figure that you got to figure it out and it's it is hard it is very hard but i'm having fun doing it what was the most difficult part you said you figured it out the most difficult part was not uh rolling up on somebody and whooping their ass. Right. Because I'm from the 1900s. And we'll show up to your mama house and beat your ass. That's what it is, like the good old days. You know, oh, you're talking shit?

Okay, I'm going to come over there and beat you up. You know, when my period come on and I got some time, I will call people. I will make a phone call. Is it true that there was a rumor that you were actually, I guess you found an app that you could actually find out where these people live

or find their number? Yeah, yeah. You can find people. You know, I used to be married to a private investigator so I know how to get in your business

if I want to. Right. And so, when the lady in the red dress show up, I become a little evil and I be having time sometimes. Sometimes I have time.

So then I decide to take that time to invest in people that like to talk you know and i'll and i'll put your business out there not like docs you or nothing like that but you know um i'll call you or i'll make uh comments on your page and you won't know it's me but i'll make comments about you know police records and so when you call these internet trolls you call saying this is tiffany haddish yeah yeah i'll be like uh is this blah blah blah and they'll be like yep i'll be like this tiffany haddish they'll be like wait nah what no no this is tiffany haddish i saw first of all i want to say i know you love me because you spent three hours making a video the video was three hours so i know you spent at least six editing it and all of that like searching for pictures and finally like thank you yeah i

And they'd be like, you crazy. Ain't nobody this is you. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy.

I have endometriosis. And so I'm telling you, I'm using it. I'm using it. I'm using the energy towards something positive. So I just wanted to let you know, hi. I know you love me. Was writing your book therapeutic for you though like in any way i don't know i've been therapy so long i don't know i don't

know if it was therapeutic i felt like it was more so informative for others like it was my way of sharing for others uh some parts are a little cathartic or whatever but for me it was more so i want people to know they're not the only person going through what they're going through. Like, and just because somebody's famous doesn't mean. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,

learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar,

a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was.

And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us. It's maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on

One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama

who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I mean, they're not a regular human being in that there's not like bad days. Sometimes there's more bad days than good especially like i don't know dealing with the losing my grandma really kind of just threw me for a loop i feel like my soul was like look we're gonna have we don't have too many losses at this point so we're gonna have to sit down and deal with it and if you

don't sit down and deal with it i'm gonna i'm gonna make you do things that's gonna have to make you sit down and deal with it so with the daddy issues chapter hard that was the hardest one that was the hard that was the hardest one because i realized like man this it's hard not having a dad and then like when i met my dad it was like i was a little girl all over again and like i remember everything about him you know even though I was three years old the last time I saw him I remember how he smelled I remember what he sound like just hearing his voice my whole soul lit up like nobody sound like my daddy nobody could be my daddy and so um but there was years I was trying to find my dad like you know through other men and through whatever I was doing stupid i was done

and there's a lot of us out here like that but you can you can pull past all that and grow and be successful you're about to make me cry is it true the women the women really look for that in men like do they look like look for somebody that's like their daddy i don't know i don't know what other women looking for i know what i was looking for i was looking for i was looking for like safety i wanted to feel safe um i wanted to feel like no fear for so many years growing up it was like every day was scary you know just be scared every day so uh then to decide like i'm not gonna be scared no more and i'm gonna find somebody that's gonna do this with me and protect me and love on me and hold me like take care of me and kiss on me and tell me I'm doing good but I it's hard to find also I'm a little difficult I'm sweet though I'm a little difficult I want to do what I want to do

okay because I never that that's part of I think not growing up with the father is like I know how to take orders and I know how to take orders. And I know how to get things done. If you ask me to do something, I'm going to get it done for you. But I'm going to do it on my time when I feel like it. And if a man's like, I need you to call me when you leave out of there. I want you to be here at this time, whatever. If you're not, if I'm not getting a paycheck, I'm going to show up when I feel like it.

I'm going to be at your house when I feel like coming to your house. You know, that's, I think that's been the biggest issue is like, I don't want to feel like I got an answer to this man. So you've never had that type of relationship yet where you would be like, OK, I'm going to let this man lead. Like no one has ever shown you that they are worth that. I let men lead all the time. I let them lead. But that don't mean I'm going to follow all the way. You don't like the direction, especially if you don't like the direction.

I'm going to let you lead it. You don't like the direction. Especially if you don't like the direction. I'm going to let you lead it. And then start saying like, this is not going to go. This don't feel safe. If this don't feel safe, I'm not going to be like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I need to feel safe. I need to feel like this is where I'm going to be like spiritually. I need to feel safe emotionally. I need to feel safe physically.

I need to feel safe financially. I need to feel safe. And I don feel safe financially i need to feel safe and i and i don't need to be feeling like i'm being used if i feel any type of way i'm being used or manipulated in some kind of way uh what like no and if you're using me tell me you're using me so i could use you to like oh i can help you use me better i'm here to be used we all are here to be used for some purpose something right but tell me what you're using me for and i might help you get it done better don't don't sneak it don't do it sneakily like think i'm stupid because i'm not i might be i might be setting you up to get used me don't misuse me yeah use me don't abuse me yeah all right we got more with tiffany haddish when we come back don't

probably drink during that like while i'm on stage i don't really drink before shows i would probably drink during like while i'm on stage i would have a drink while i'm on stage but like before no uh i didn't smoke no weed before none of that not before the show but maybe by the second or third show of the night i'm probably because i started drinking on the first show yeah but i notice now like by the but if there's more than two shows in a night by the end of that second show I'm sleepy I'm so tired

I'm so sleepy I just want to go to bed like I want to go to bed at 10 o'clock 930 and you know but comedy happens at night and then

I've been getting up super early in the morning working out so I make sure I get my afternoon nap if I don't get no nap in the afternoon I'm pretty much

f***ed the rest of the evening but I feel like my comedy is I've been listening to it because I record every set I've been recording no nap in the afternoon I'm pretty much f***ed the rest of the evening but I feel like my comedy is I've been listening to it because I record every set I've been recording every set for the last like five years through my phones and my recording devices and I was listening to like before my grandma died how much joy was in

my voice and then like after my grandma died like I don't know I'm about to like maybe when Jesus died it was uh before jesus death bc yeah and then bg bg before grandma i don't know but bg ag yeah bg ag yeah anyways i just noticed there's a big difference in like people like oh you you're saying you look good you're feeling good like you your energy's good and i do feel good and i am happy for the most part but i feel like there's this huge grief hanging over me like i just feel like grief that's normal yeah do you write on that yeah i write on that yeah i talk i talk about it on

stage how i like deal with my grief like some days it'd be so heavy i'm like oh i gotta do something for granny today and i'll put a picture of her up in the backyard i put on some music and i do rhythmic dance from gymnastics and with ribbons and stuff and of her up in the backyard. I put on some music and I do rhythmic dance from gymnastics with ribbons and stuff. And I dance around in my backyard. I hope nobody ever sees. It's just for my grandma and God. What do you think got you more focused? No d*** or no alcohol?

No d***. Because I was drinking and wasn't getting no d***. Okay. Seems like you're thinking about something now. Yeah, I was. Your eyes did wander. I just had a flash of some d*** in my head. Just a flash of some.

And I'm just like, mmm. It's mediums. My fave. Did you stop smoking weed, too? No, I'm back smoking weed. I started back smoking weed after my court date. Okay. You said mediums. I'm not going weed. I started back smoking weed after my court date. Okay. It's medium.

I'm not going to drink no more. I probably will never drink alcohol again until I'm engaged to get married. Just so he can see my full crazy. Yeah, like there's no restriction. I feel like though I have more restrictions. I was way too nice. I feel like when i would be drinking i'd be way too nice way too accommodating probably way too loud because alcohol make you deaf uh so

and i think i'm a little meaner now i'm a quick to tell people no now i don't think that's me boundaries yeah boundaries i feel like boundaries is mean though it can't be your piece i know i'm protecting it yeah i'm protecting it now have you and monique had a conversation since she was on a club station no we have not had no conversation um we barely ever had a conversation ever i've you know tried to talk to her here and there or whatever but no we haven't had no conversation i slid in her dm so she got my number if she checked oh you just sent her your number hit you hit you no i sent her a statement yeah and here's my number too and here's

my number if you want to talk about it yeah what do you do what do you think of that whole the whole state of black comedy since the top of the year it's like since kat williams did that interview it feel like everybody just been kind of at each other like it's almost like you go to club shea shea just to get at other comedians yeah i don't know about that oh god he didn't go at other comedians didn't go at other comedians just a little bit just a little bit i don't know about that oh god he didn't go at other comedians rail didn't go at other comedians just a little bit just a little bit i don't know i feel like that's something we do in the club like if you got some beef with somebody you like tell them to their face i mean i know i have i've definitely gone up to people in their face and said i don't like you you know or what you did

was up i ain't feeling that like i haven't had to do it too often because there's not too many people that really get on my nerves like that. Just a few people. I mean, that's comedy. You're supposed to. It's a little challenge. But I don't know about doing it in front of the world like that. I don't know about all that. It seemed like there was a brunch this weekend.

I think a Netflix brunch this weekend. Oh, yeah, that was fun. You were there? Yeah, I was there. It seemed like everybody that was beefing with each other were all in the same room yeah but you know what was crazy you know what was crazy we was outside okay so we wasn't in the same room we was outside and everybody was there and cab was there and he was looking very interesting he had his mask on his white mask very interesting very shiny and it was super cool And he's talking to everybody, moving around, moving around the room and stuff, talking to everybody.

And then as soon as Kevin got there, nobody could find Kat. I don't know where Kat went. But then he did perform live. But it was like one. In the afternoon? Yeah, the brunch started at 12. And then I think Kevin got there like 1, 1.30. And then Kat was gone.

Did you speak to Kat no no i smiled and waved you cursed him with joy he looked at me i don't think he recognized me because i had a wig on so i don't think he realized it was me that's what i'm telling myself or he just was like i ain't with her right now she's gonna talk crazy to me but that's fine though yeah everybody put their boundaries up i'd rather i'd rather y'all not speak than see each other in public and be cursing at each other i wouldn't first of all i love me some cat me and cat ain't got no beef i mean he do like saying my name and i think it's because my name garnishes clicks for some reason especially if you say like one negative thing around my name everybody's clicking on like oh what'd she do now what'd

she do now what'd she do now so like and i think he knows that he's a genius so he's like okay what's gonna give me the clicks what's gonna get the you know he's just randomly i'll say my name and don't say else just timothy haddish and laugh factory and then let me tell you about this kevin like no sense he's like he's like i'm the one that put her on she was in school dance with me and i'm like i never said that, I'm the one that put her on. She was in school dance with me. And I'm like, I never said that you didn't put me on or that you did. But Nick Cannon did put me in school dance for that role, not Cat Williams. But we did kill that together. Like, we did that together.

And that was awesome. And it's like a viral moment online. And I love Cat. I sent him a script. And he's like, we got to work on the writing on this script. Okay, let's work on it. Who do you want to write? Whatever. Let's make it happen. Let's make a movie. I love him. I think he's super talented.

It is strange when people try to... He do get on my motherfucking nerves sometimes. It is strange when people act like you didn't come up like everybody else. You was in the comedy clubs. You busted your ass. You did all of that. Yeah. Cat put me out the club at the hollywood park casino i was under age and he was doing the hollywood park casino every week and i was too young to be in there he put me out uh they're

like you ain't got no idea you can't be in here and like you put me out there finally i got i you know i was old enough and uh he let me perform and he commenced to roast me for like probably 20 minutes after i got off stage and i felt so proud i was like god williams is talking about me i'm so happy he was roasting you but he was roasting me back then he roasted out of me i'm like do you remember this he's like no tiffany i just have to not remember this i showed him a picture he was like oh that was your skinny ass so I feel honored you know it's funny

I am Jewish. So you got to. Ooh. Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look. I'm a Jewish businesswoman, and I'm about what's entertaining.

And if I'm going with the entertainment factor of it all, Kendrick is killing that ass. Like, I am very entertaining. He got all the good punchlines. Drake got good punchlines and all that, too. And I just want to give, Drake, you're doing a good job. I'm proud of you. Because you know he's sensitive. He went off on me before. He's very sensitive. He's very sensitive. In your DMs? No, not in my DMs. gonna give drake you doing a good job i'm proud of you because you know he's sensitive he went

play hating on your daddy though a little bit right like why you cock blocking your daddy if your daddy trying to holler why you mad I don't want to do that

I like his dad but not like that yeah but why would it hurt his feelings that his daddy tried to holler at you because I talked about it

on stage oh I talked about it there was a lot of people that knew that then since you talked about it on stage and it got back to him.

Yeah, his daddy's interesting. But no, the... You're on a date with his daddy? No, I'm not going on a date with his daddy. I see him at different events and stuff. He'd be at Jewish stuff and all that. His daddy'd be around. I don't know if he's looking for his next Jewish baby mama or what,

but he'd be outside. He'd be outside. But as far as the beef goes uh the rap battle I'm loving it I'm here for it I think I'm so proud of Kendrick I'm so proud of him like uh he's killing it and he's like in the lab just bringing it in the punch lines is there like he's killing it I'm proud of him and I'm proud of drake too okay he has an airplane it's a great battle airplane now i think it's a little they they getting a little they going a little below the belt but they wait yeah they're going yeah it's deep yeah uh but it's it's like a real

rap battle you know i'm saying like we get it at a cifas yeah we ain't had one of these in a long time yeah a real good one yeah i feel like i'm back on the school bus yeah what what happened uh at where was you at outside joke appearance what is that yeah yeah so i was at the uh netflix is not a joke left netflix not a joke i was at a show okay outside for netflix it says you went on a rant i went on a. Yeah, I went off because people were saying you know, they were saying what they were saying and it was like, you got to support the colleges and I'm like, I don't want to support people tearing

up a school. I don't think that's the way to go about it. If you really want stuff like this to stop happening, if you're protesting the genocide that's going on and you want that to stop happening, I think there's some better ways to go about making it stop happening blocking people from going to class is not going to be the thing i don't think that's going to be the thing because that's what the i mean that's what the nazis did they blocked the jews they blocked the jehovah

witnesses they they killed a lot of people they didn't just kill jews they was killing everybody that was not like them so like uh and they were blocking them from getting their education blocking them from being able to have a living they were they were hurting them and so like to me if you really want to be changed you want to make change you really want to be effective you really want this to stop then start learning get get yourself educated and get in there and change the laws. Change how we become, get in NATO or whatever, the international, whatever. You got to be on Senate, all that. Like, change the laws.

Change how we move. That's what I would do. That's what, if you really wanted to change, like, be effective and get involved in government. So you don't disagree with the protests. You just disagree with how they protest. How they protesting is not, I don't, I don't agree with how they protesting.

Yeah. Protests. Yes. Protests. Yes. If you think that's going to make a change. Yeah. If you think it's going to make a difference,

it's going to make people pay attention. Yeah. But the way y'all going about it, I don't think this, right. I don't think you spray paint in the library is going to really make anything change. I know niggas been spray painting the library for years and they just shut the library down. That's all

they did. Like so no I don't think that's the way to go about it. I think the way to go about it is to get into legislation to show up to your congressman's office show up to your senator's office show up sit outside their office and protest put the pressure on them

doing it at the schools i'm putting no pressure on them they're just like oh they up there at the school cutting up whatever like and we like i'm as a 20 something year old like do you invigorated teenager yeah like that's protests it's been happening every decade it's always happening women was out there burning their bras but y'all out here angry about you know what's going on over there in gaza and this genocide when they about to make pass laws over our bodies women's bodies we ain't gonna be able to have no choice in what we doing like robie wade already overturned yeah like hello we need to be paying attention the distraction is real like you're not

gonna it's gonna be handmaid's tale out here when you start really read reading all the legislation read everything like it's about to be handmaid's tale out here you about to be like it's gonna be crazy like you voluntarily want to be pregnant yeah yeah that's a voluntary thing like but there's gonna be situations where it's gonna be involuntary like i mean if you read the legislations and i'm not i might not be articulating this the best but i'm concerned i'm concerned for legislations and I'm not I might not be articulating this the best, but I'm concerned. I'm concerned for our future. And I'm concerned when our youth are all their knowledge is coming from TikTok and Instagram. And they not really like doing a real research and really reading.

They just taking some some bloggers word for it. It's like, no, go look this up. Go to the go look up these legislations like there's no doubt there's a there is a genocide happening there's no doubt about that but like that's not the only one that's happening right now so if we're gonna be protesting genocide if we against genocide we need to be against all the genocides not just the lighter genocide all like the black the the brown everybody everybody we're not it don't need to just be from the river to this you need to be like uh recycle these cell phones and stop

killing the congolese like but don't get me started i'm sorry okay anyways i curse you with joy it's out today get it on audio or a physical book hard copy at any local bookstore the audio version is off the chain because i'm definitely bringing it and some of my music is is on there and i'm really excited about the music that's coming for you so yeah all right well there you have it the book is out right now make sure you pick it up it's the breakfast club it's tiffany addish it's time for donkey of the day it's a read but you're so good at it you're trying to be a fake ass charlemagne It's Tiffany Haddish. in Pennsylvania and I let the record show when I say this Catholic priest stole booty I'm not talking about little kids I'm talking money yes this man stole more than 40 grand in expenses over three years and some of the money was used to buy cell phone games cell phone video games you know I'm a stern

believer that it's not a stereotype if it's true and this story is not gonna do anything to defy the stereotype that Catholic priests are pedophiles and child abusers, especially when we dive more into why this particular Catholic priest was stealing money. Let's go to WRAL for the report, please. A Pennsylvania Catholic priest is accused of stealing parish funds to play games like Candy Crush. Lawrence Kozak is charged with theft and related crimes. Authorities say he racked up tens of thousands of dollars in expenses over three years.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,

learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better.

And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of

Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. What's up, y'all? This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.

Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Goldman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And used some of that cash to play cell phone games like Pokemon Go. The Archdiocese has placed Kozak on administrative leave. and candy crush saga and cash frenzy and mario kart or in pokemon go i hate to be you know uh the one to break the news to you but this man this man might have been buying apps fast man okay there's just no way that a catholic priest steals 40 000 from the church and a large part of it is going to these apps that are largely aimed at kids now i'm not one of these people who buys into every stereotype i know that there's a lot of prejudice against the catholic church

because there are some people who believe that catholic priests everywhere are pedophiles and child abusers we know that this is not the case every catholic priest is not the same so if i say what's the difference between woody from toy story and a priest and someone replies only one of them goes limp when a child walks in walks in the room that does not apply to all priests okay do you understand but it could apply to lawrence kozak i don't want to get distracted though this man used the church's money that he stole over forty thousand dollars on apps the thing that bothers me the most about this is that you are taking advantage of people's need to believe taking advantage of a person's you know need to believe that's also a form of abuse all right these people are sowing a seed they you know need to believe that's also a form of

abuse right these people are sowing a seed they are showing gratitude for all that God has given and want to return to God a portion of what they have received and a lot of people do this hoping that they will also come back to them because they need it people say when you tithe it brings you closer to God so you taking advantage of people's need to believe they're hard-earned money that they could be spending on food medical bills housing childcare but you taking advantage of people's need to believe they're hard-earned money that they could be spending on food medical bills housing child care but you taking these folks you know money so you can buy candy crushing Pokemon Go Pokemon Go I think you got all these apps because you wanted to poke a kid but I don't want to reinforce stereotypes because all Catholic priests should

not be judged by the bad actions of a few Like if I asked what's the difference between acne and a Catholic priest if someone responds acne doesn't come on a boy's face until he's 13 or so I'm not asking that in reference to all Catholic priests that just wouldn't be right now Let's just say Lawrence wasn't reinforcing negative stereotypes of Catholic priests And he was one of the many people who are addicted to these cell phone apps I truly believe game purchases is an epidemic as big as crack or opioids they get you hooked by giving you something free but the catch is they make you wait like every hour to refresh but then they'll offer you a

quicker way to get whatever you know uh whatever you need replenished you just gotta pay monopoly go gives you 10 dice every hour or you can get 100 dice for $9.99. Which one are you going to ultimately choose if you want to play Monopoly Go? It's kind of like, man, remember back in the day? And it still might happen now. Like when the new iPhone comes out, and then they ask you if you want an update on your old phone. And then when you update it, it don't quite work the same. That just happened to me.

See what I'm saying? My long clock will not work now. You see what I'm saying? So now you're forced to go buy a new phone yeah that's how they get you speaking to getting you i just really want people to understand that i am not on this radio saying all catholic priests abuse kids i'm just saying it's suspicious that this guy was using the church's money to have all these apps for kids on his phone if i ask kendrick lamar why do catholic priests like playing the violin and kendrick replies because they get to finger a minor that a minor that has nothing to do with

all catholic priests okay now father kozak was arrested on april 25th and faces felony theft charges and he earned that father kozak have you ever ever wondered why Catholic priests call themselves father? Because it's too suspicious for kids to call him daddy, but that has nothing to do with all of them. Just some Please let Remy Ma give Lawrence Kozak the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Well, mm-hmm Charlemagne or the priest do anything I'm telling the story no I'm not in some reference to the keys I'm some of the way that you just slaughtered a lot of other priestesses. No, priestesses.

I said some. Is priestesses a word? Some. I used to call priestesses. I didn't say all. I said some. I know the last little bit I'm going to listen to this, I'm going to be like, oh, uh-uh. Well, if it don't apply, let it fly. Okay.

Yes, sir. If it don't fit, you must have quit. Huh? Alright, thank you for that donkey today the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious shalameen the guy we are the breakfast club nyla is sitting in on this interview we got a special guest in the building we got the greatest lyricist in the world whose name is not Kendrick Lamar.

What causes an MC to win a rap battle because you an mc mc so what causes the mc to win a rap battle um you gotta have strategy right i tell people it's like the art of war you gotta know who you're going against and for this case in

particular the type of person that kendrick is you know he's strategic like if he goes quiet you should know that he's cooking um but you got to have the right beats you know um your bar has got to be up your performance is a thing like i think all of those things matter and the thing that i like that he did he gave he cooked that boy so many different ways like i said he baked him he stir-fried him and grilled him like he marinated a little bit like he gave you stories he gave you a banger he gave you the classic hip-hop bar joint it was however you want it i got it for you and you know he anything drake said he came back and was like he just didn't have room

it's like when you boxing somebody on you can't get your arms can't do nothing yeah the reason i'm glad we started the conversation like this because i'm trying to set the stage for how dope rhapsody is for those who still don't know like your peers the mcs mcs hold you in high regard yeah that's why they do these type of records with you yeah and everybody says like you bring the best out of them i'm just you really do you know it's it's it's a beautiful healthy competition i think your features that are on all your projects from leila's wisdom down to this latest one from like a black thought to erica badu uh to working with hit boy it's like the quality is just different you know when you tap into a album like this it's you know when i'm creating this about the music like the music is

the biggest ego in the room and i think when you approach it when I'm creating, it's about the music. Like, the music is the biggest ego in the room. And I think when you approach it from that point of view, everybody's going to bring their best. You know, it makes it fun and exciting. Even on Complexion, like, you go in there like, yo, I got to meet they level. Even with the Wayne joint on the album. I wrote my verse over it. Yo. I wrote my verse over it. That one, I feel like, for a hip-hop purist, that's the best one on there.

I love that record. You wrote it over. I did. And I feel like for a hip-hop purist, that's the best one on there. I love that record. You wrote it over? I did. And I'm not afraid to say that at all. First time I ever did that. But I sent it to him first, and I was just approaching it like, I was trying to grow, and I don't have to be so lyrical. I want to do something that's easier for people to learn,

but it's not dumbed down. It's still me, but it's not like. Just more relaxed. Yeah. When I got his verse back i was like nah i gotta i gotta match his level of raw like i gotta match it so i was like no i can't i can't get a people that what did he say when you rewrote it um he said i just sent it back to him i was like i rewrote it i said i took your flow and i just put my words to it i just want to let you know what you think. He sent me fire emojis.

Fire. That's it. The wild thing about this project is called Please Don't Cry. Yeah. But ironically, throughout the album, all you're doing is giving us stuff to cry about. Exactly. Exactly. Like, what is that about?

That's the point. It was like the title got a real event. It's about, like, I was never one to show my emotion in public. Or, you know, we grow up, men especially, what you crying about. But it's really about allowing yourself to be human. Why you should cry. All the reasons you should cry. Don't cry just because you're sad.

Cry because it's something so funny. You laugh until you cry. Or you're so in love. You know, like, or you're joyful. Or you're angry. Like, I cry when I'm mad. Because if I don't, I'm going to say something or do something that I'm going to regret. So I'm just let it come out the tears. Like, allow yourself to just be human.

I don't think we do that enough, especially in a day with social media is perfection. Perfection in your face all day. Like the highlight reel. But where's the raw stuff? So you got to remind people like you human like so you're giving people permission to own their feelings absolutely i know on the the first single that you released for the album asteroid you talked about how you almost wanted to step away from this completely it was a thought yeah that broke my heart yeah why it was i was just

at a place like i was just seeing the music business and everything that was in front of me. I was like, I feel like I'm getting tired. There's no place for me. You know what I'm saying? I don't know if people care. I could do music by myself. I don't even have to play this game. I want to get into the film world anyway.

But I love it too much. I got too much purpose in it. I have to be the example. I want to be the example, rather. I get to be the example. I want to be the example, rather. I get to be the example. So, you know, but it was a real thought, like, man, what does it look like in this space, you know? And, you know, hip-hop likes to aid you out. I was, you know, as a woman, it was just so many things going through my head.

And it's just like, yo, let me just pause and just really sit with it. So, how did you get over that part of it? Because I can imagine you don't feel that way now. You better not. You have to unplug from the matrix, right? And you look at it and you're like, I feel this way because I'm trying to validate myself through all these other things. Everybody like, yo, why don't I get this award? Or why I'm not in this space or these same spaces as other people.

And you figure out like, yo, whatever space is for me is for me. And that's what it was like. I had to validate myself and not look for anybody else or any other of these false measurements to do it. You know, it's like, what are you in it for? I was like, damn, I just really like to connect with people and make music to inspire people. So do that. Anything else is a blessing. Yeah.

So you think a woman can take off and rap without a male cosign? Absolutely. OK. I think, you know, we have so many resources. If you make great music, one thing I've always told me, it might take you longer, but people can't deny it. So it's kind of like either down for the marathon or not that's everybody like man woman it don't matter if the music good somebody gonna find it eventually i think you can like but you gotta you gotta make great music and still be on

your brand and in marketing and you know all the little things but i do think it's possible because i always think about what how dope would it would have been if like the way a drake embraces a sexy red kendrick would embrace you in that way i just think i think that goes a long way sometimes yeah no it does or and he has cool you know complexion was a alley to alley big alley for me and then a lot i mean be honest a lot of embracing from like you know older generations i noticed a lot of people like to embrace people that can't touch them yes like you get what i'm saying yeah like they will embrace people that they know cannot touch them yeah beat them lyrically can't even i'm just gonna throw you in because your popularity you got the big platform right now you what they want to be like

you're playing into what you you know money drugs all right cool so i'm gonna take you under my wing you know what i'm saying just to keep me in the game yep keep my name out there attached but yeah that's a real thing that's crazy how did this album you said because i've heard you say that this album has brought you the most peace you've ever seen how does the album this raw and vulnerable bring you peace it brings me peace because it's it's the most me i've ever been i'm i'm so fearless now again like i'm i'm neo like unplugged from the matrix and live in my reality so that's like everybody's been asking me how you feel how you feel like the album's about to come out and i tell them i'm at peace because i have no expectations i'm not thinking about i need to do this amount of numbers like yo what's good if do we need to do this I'm just like people like it or they don't

yeah I made an album that I was happy with and I shared things that I wanted to share that were for me like so many albums I was shining a light on the world and this one it was like I need to shine a light on me and so to be able to Because I'm so private And I protect myself in that way And I held so much in I feel lighter I'm so confident And again I'm not afraid to just share

I was afraid before Because I was afraid of judgment What people would think Like you're not perfect You're not always the good girl You have disappointed yourself and some people But it's like, it's okay. We all do at some point.

All right, we got more with Rhapsody when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ and DJ Solaria, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Nyla is hanging with us this morning.

And we're still kicking it with Rhapsody. Nyla. So what pushed you to the point of wanting to live, you know, like this much in your truth and be this transparent? I wanted to grow. I had gotten out of a relationship when I started this project. And healing from that, you know, therapy. You realize it's never about the person. It's about you.

So once you, like, start to sit and ask yourself these questions, trying to figure out how to heal from the relationship the relationship is over with it's just like oh what are the mirrors in front of me what are the things about me that make me feel incomplete or all the things why do I act like this when this happens so it was like an onion I was just peeling back peeling back peeling back and I was just like crying crying every time you peel back boy that 2020 year was crazy yeah a lot of solitude a lot of tears a lot of praying and i have a beautiful village so my home girls would tell me like yo you your next phase is you gotta let people see you the human part of you you gotta be vulnerable and so i i love a good challenge it was hard uncomfortable it was not fun but the other side is so beautiful so it's like that you really gotta

let yourself sit in the fire and burn and some days i was like man i'm gonna feel like this forever but now i i was gonna ask like which specific experience led to like the journey of self-exploration and self-acceptance. So it was a breakup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is like your My Life album. Yeah. You wildin'.

Okay. This is your My Life. Okay. You wildin'. It's making sense now. Yeah, it's a lot of my life. All pieces of it. Yeah, relationship was dope, though.

Like, I learned a lot in a relationship about even how to begin this journey you know they were back-to-back relationships so i got out of a long one had a little time and got in another one but um the second one was just a rebound no really i mean yes that happens But that wasn't my experience It was the one The relationship that impacted me the most I wouldn't have become the person I am now Without that relationship

So they gave me like The starter pack tools You know to figure out They say people come into your life For a reason, season or lifetime And there was definitely reason in this I think it could be multiple things but once it was like now you're on your own you by yourself i was like oh i gotta

do the work work you know your album please don't cry you got a song about dementia yeah which is something that impacts so many of us like we all have a loved one that suffering from dementia i had dementia like what made you want to speak on that because it was it was such a big part of my life during that time um my aunt who's my mom's sister oldest sister helped raise me so she's like all my aunts like my second mom so when she got diagnosed it hit me like yo my grandmother had it but to sit with somebody and see it progress is just a big part of my life and it affect me so emotionally and it was just like I want to talk about it and because I do know so many people that go through it I was just everything I was feeling I was just putting on paper yeah you know and I think people need that

that's just what it was like I think about her all the time you know every time I go home that's the first place I go sometimes before i stop at my mom and this last time i went i was there for like four hours we was talking laughing i think the last hour somebody came in the house and they was like you know who that is she was like i don't know i was like damn don't that hurt yeah yeah it's tough it's tough and you know i think about my cousins who's that's her kids so it was just like you know a story that i wanted to share like if you want to know me this is what i go with this is what i go through when i'm having with my family your grandma got dementia right yeah yeah and that's why i say that definitely hurts out that to relate to that that it does hurt

yeah it's a hard hard disease to go through like the mind goes and the memory yeah you know but same thing my family's the same way like i remember the first time like she was really doing things where i could really see it because i couldn't always see it before but i was i remember the day and my other aunt came over and we was just talking about it she just said she bust out laughing you know like talking to pictures or whatever um i like i was in my feelings she started laughing she's like girl we gotta laugh to keep from crying and that just changed me like so it's it's beautiful to see like how the family takes care of her and we just whatever she on that day we just all a part of it yeah you know i'm saying that's good and it makes it a little easier

but yeah this is tough now is it true you credited Sanaa Lathan with helping you make this album? Yeah. Why? Finishing it. She be rapping? She don't rap, but she sing. Sanaa Lathan sings? Sanaa Lathan can sing.

Like, yeah, yeah. And when I worked, we worked on the movie on a come up in 2021. And she brought me on to help with the music and um coach the actor but i got to see how much of a music fan especially hip-hop she was because like i'd send her demos and stuff she'd tell me about the beat and what she liked and i was like you know what you're talking about and you know we talked about music a lot but um she was a big part of the healing process for one right you know healing goes in phases. Right. So she had put me on to this course.

It was called HowToBeMagnetic.com or whatever. And I did the course, and it was so instrumental, like meditation. She helped me get through over the hump. So we was in New York at a premiere, and she was always asking about the album. Because, you know, we talk about pretty much everything. everything and she was like you're not finished with it yet just like everybody on the internet I'm like nah I'm still not finished she was like what's taking so long I was like I don't know I said I feel like it's too gray like I see music in color sometimes I don't know I think it's too gray Mike As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,

but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans,

I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change.

You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture.

Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records,

because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Be too sad. Like, I'm just overthinking it. I could do that sometimes. And so she was like, play me some songs. So I played her like three or four songs. And she was like, it's not too sad. It's exactly what people need.

I finished the album. And because she said that, I was like, okay. And I finished the album. Other than that, I probably would still be recording right now. I believe that. I believe that. Yo. Man, you.

I do love having Felicia on the project. I thought that was such a great touch. First of all, say the full name. Rashad. Yes. That's Felicia Rashad. Okay. Y'all know who I was talking about.

No, we got to spell it out. Felicia Rashad. Yes, you have Felicia Rashad narrate. And I love on the intro, the only way out is in. Do you even know who you are? I'm like, this project really takes you on a ride but but how did you connect with her it was a lot easier than I thought I I think big I'm gonna always go big and

I'm like all they can say is no so I was just prepared I was telling my manager I was like if she doesn't we can't get her then this person this person this person back up my manager got information on her manager and they and she sent her the request. And at first, they were like, we want to hear some music. And I was busy at the time. But before I could even send it, it was maybe two days, and I didn't want to buy it. You hit Felicia Rashad, yo? She would.

You hit Felicia Rashad with I'm Too Busy? No, I didn't hit it. No, no, no. You wildin'. That's not what happened. I was to get the you know, the song. I'm trying to figure out what exactly to send her because the album went all the way done.

So I was like, you know, I was moving around. So it was maybe two days later. I was traveling. Something. But I think, like, they asked for the music. And then I think the next day she was just like, yes. I don't know if they Googled. I don't know what happened.

But I was like, my mouth was on the floor. I was like, what? And so I wrote out the parts and sent them to her, and she recorded it. And she's so good. I wrote out my part and her part, and she did it on a voice memo in a hotel. But she's just so good like you hear it um but i i chose her for that you know for the very reason of what she represents to the black community to us i was watching the matrix and i was so intrigued by the relationship of neo and the oracle and you know it was like that was the journey i was on and how she got it

him so when we were in the studio and i was with black odyssey in austin texas they helped executive produce the album with s1 they were like how you gonna put pieces together and i and that's what i thought of and she was the only voice that i heard all right we got more with rhapsody when we come back don't move it's the The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Nyla with us this morning, and we're still kicking it with Rhapsody. Charlamagne, I saw you tweet, there's no such thing as female hip-hop.

Yeah, I don't like that. What is that? Elaborate on that a little bit. Yeah, it's just hip-hop. They try to rebuttal me like there are women who make songs specifically for women that's called an audience sir her audience is women but what she does is hip-hop yeah like when you when you label something labels are just there to separate us so if you labeling it female hip-hop and you put it in a

category where this is just for females and you looking at it a certain way it's like no they do hip-hop they rap but their audience may be mostly women you know and and i just hate the separation and labels it's already hard for us it's just another form of sexism to me yeah i don't make female hip hop. I rap for everybody. You get it or you don't. And my, you know, my fan base shows, I got men, women, older people, younger people. It's just, that's what it is. So it's like, we not about to do that. And I'm gonna advocate for it. What prompted you to address questions about your sexuality on the stand tall, Rick?

Because it was, it would be conversations throughout the years of my career and so it was like things that i internalized to like the way that i dress or whatever people assume things about you or because i you have you don't know who i've been in relationship i'm private so they just assume who you are so it's just like let me just address it head on then you know you hear it from me you said the judgment's on me they wondering if i'm gonna eat the coochie fan all because i choose the style and sneakers and some baggy pants used to make me aggie want to black out like the aggie fans well i heard that line i thought about not of course you did no you of course you did same judgment that's what i'm yo i'll be like it's like if you dress like this oh you do not like men because you're not catering to men of what we

think or what we think men want to be catered to and now the conversation i'll be seeing men having it like yo we miss having some imagination about it do you hear me that's why i'm like yo y'all gonna show us everything so listen to the man if all with these new you know newer brands of women are trying to appeal to men all the time, listen to them. They don't always want to get on line at C-scan, areolas, and misplaced belly buttons and all that. They don't want to see that all the time. I'd rather not even see your stomach if you're right in front of me at the C-scan. What are you talking about?

I come from Nas. When Nas said showing three-fourths of a cloth, never showing your stuff. That was fly to me. You fly as hell. Thank you. I come from Nas When Nas said Showing three-fourths of a club Never showing your stuff For a boo Like that was fly to me Yeah Yo You fly as hell Thank you

I'ma affirm that to you Yeah And yeah And it's not even Just in music Like I hear women In the business They say like

The t-shirt like i'm like okay that's creative that's dope that's how you really know who you connected to as well like your fans are really loyal to you it's one of my favorite things about putting out an album like the music is of course but then it's like all right that part is fun like what how are you gonna roll this out creatively yeah with this one um i watched the movie air i don't know if you've seen it no it's um it's about yeah it's about yes i did yes i did i'm sorry i was so inspired by the branding and marketing of it and it was just like it ain't about the shoe it's about the person wearing the shoe i was like i called the team i was like i want to roll this out like a nike ad for a shoe

but with the album how are we gonna we gonna do that and you know we really wanted again like i was in the place of like free like i'm not worried about billboard or nothing like that it's just like let's just focus on the fan base so you know we just made them a part of it and we just told the story from that way just being organic and the ideas were just flowing yeah my mind worked like that i can't explain it, but I'm glad people... That's how you want to be in film, too. That's the way I can see that. Yep. Thank you. And I just noticed this. We Eat Each Other,
