Starting point is 00:02:27 I mean, this show, it can continue on and continue on. I like how they do the show, though. Because the show addresses all the socioeconomic conditions that lead to things like this happening. They deal with people's trauma. They deal with a lot of these brothers' hurt and anger. So it's not just exploitation of a murder, you know? Correct. And they talk to the right people.
Starting point is 00:02:46 They talk to the right people, the family members, people involved, police officers, special agents, friends, pastors. And then they try to get a solution of why, you know, hopefully this can be solved and stopped and maybe. It's a good show, bro. Y'all need to keep watching it. For people that ain't watching, I ain't going to give too much about it. But hey, it's a good show.

I did two years for HVAC and electricity, and I can work anywhere in the United States. I'm 23 years old, and nobody's doing trade no more. Everybody's trying to be doctors and lawyers. So right now, trade school is the best thing you can do.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I agree. After I graduated, my teacher came to me and said I should go for another four years and I'll be guaranteed to make six figures and I can go anywhere in the United States. So trade school is popping right now because ain't nobody really doing it and everybody needs help with HVAC

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:14:46 We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Our guy. Nick Cannon. We here. All right, the streets say Nick No Condom Cannon. Is that what they say? The fertilizer.
Starting point is 00:14:57 The fertilizer. How many kids do you want, Nick? How many do you want? Man, honestly, somewhere 10 to 12. I wouldn't be mad at you. Why so many? You got so many too i'm having six but i'm stopping it really i'm i'm are you sure is it the beauty of fatherhood man
Starting point is 00:15:14 when you really talk about like the the essence of living in as a father too man i've learned so much just from my children man like and it's so amazing and i really just love being around my kids and just that youthful energy it feels like you get to relive every time all the time i love that and i think because you know i've been through so much in my life you know physically mentally and spiritually like the the best place that i find is the time that i spend with my kids and the energy and to get as much of that as possible to pass on you know all that i've lived into something else that's why i do it man it's not the number of kids though i guess people question the different baby mothers that's why do people question that that's a eurocentric concept when you think about the
Starting point is 00:15:55 ideas of like you're supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life and really that's just to classify property when you think about it i mean like when you go into that mindset if we really talk in that talk like just the idea that a man should have one woman we shouldn't have anything i have no ownership over this person like if we're really talking about how we coexist and how we populate it's about what exchange can we create together so all women are the ones that open themselves up to say, I would like to allow this man in my world and I will birth this child. So it ain't my decision. I'm following suit. So I respect that game you running on them ladies.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Wow, Nick. Nick, that's what you spitting? That's the dream you selling? Wow. So the women that you're dating, wow. They're the ones that are making the choice. So the women you have in a relationship with, they don't mind that you... Every woman that I deal with or deal with, they know how I feel.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And it usually is a concept. Like, I'm not going around like, who am I going to impregnate next? Nah, it's usually scenarios and... Like, that's the thing. People say certain things in the public. But when you really look at how a family infrastructure is designed, the woman is the one that always leads and makes the decision. I agree wholeheartedly. I said it all the time.
Starting point is 00:17:13 I said that we had to do some real societal brainwashing to make people believe that men were the actual leaders. Women lead in every scenario that I've had. I step back and say, how do you want to do this? Well, I've heard people say that they think you having all these kids with different women is selfish because you can't possibly give the time to all of the different kids. Every single one of my kids, I'm at every basketball game, every martial arts practice. And people don't understand how I do it, but that's literally my children are my priority. It's all about being present. And I always say for all of those people that say, man, there's no way he can do it. that's literally my children on my priority it's all about being present and I always say all for all of those people that that say man there's no way he can do it sit back and watch you dig is a coincidence that Nick
Starting point is 00:17:52 Cannon is NC and no condom is you think that is a coincidence or that the body now that's a I like that contrary popular belief, I do wear condoms. That's a damn lie. Please. That's a damn lie. What reason do we have to believe that? And don't wear the condom name because nobody's going to use those condoms. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Matter of fact, what is the brand name? So they can be discontinued. I keep the gold packs with me. But the... Well, you need to stop wearing them. They're a little baggy. Something's slipping out. A little bag of magnets would be breaking, though. with me but every relationship starts off with the condom yes correct then once you feel like you get the oh there's trust it's comfortable once, however, that first slippage of either you didn't have it, the condom breaks,
Starting point is 00:18:47 you was in the shower and it slipped it or whatever. And like, all right, well, we done crossed this threshold now. So, we don't need them no more. So, you know how it feels now. And then because, and that's why I say no children are ever accidents. Because if we make the conscious effort of stepping up and having unprotected sex, you know, you know, you're going to have you're preparing to have a child. Correct. So anybody that you anybody I ever had unprotected sex with, I knew, OK, this is someone I wouldn't mind creating life with. I'm under the right sober state of mind every time I go into any sexual activity
Starting point is 00:19:27 Kids are close to the same age. So that means you slinging with no kind of a couple of girls now as someone who has to See the doctor cuz of my other ailments, yeah, and I probably got a little careless with that because I'm STD checking every week because I get my blood taken every week because of lupus. So I usually know where I'm at. And I also. What about the young lady, though? Usually know.
Starting point is 00:19:51 So in that scenario, she knows what it is. If someone suggests using a condom, of course, that's what we're doing. Do you think you might come back and be like, no, I do want to be with one person? When you talk about marriage, you're talking about the business of marriage. Because marriage is a business. It's a contract, right? I mean, I think it's a soul tie, too. I mean, when you find the right person.
Starting point is 00:20:11 That's a covenant. But I'd much rather have someone as a companion for life. I'm not moved by sex. I don't make decisions off of sex. I probably have some of the closest people in my life when it comes to women that i'm not sexually active and i tell off top if it's about your vagina we can take that off the table from the gate because now i can really get to know you because now i'm not i'm not clearly the world knows i have enough access to vaginas so let me really break down where we at with this so i feel like some of my strongest relationships with women, we in our 40s now, like later on in life and this ain't even working the way it is.
Starting point is 00:20:52 You're going to need that one to hold you down. Yeah, you're going to be like, who can I go to the movies with? I'd rather focus in that direction and figure out who can I solely have sex with. I'm not moved by it. So again, those constructs don't really... I don't think about that. All right, we got more with Nick Cannon. When we come back, don't move.
Starting point is 00:21:12 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Nick Cannon. Versus.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Mariah Carey. Who would you love to see Mariah Carey go against? First of all, I thought you were about to ask Nick if he was going to do a versus. I'm like, stop. Come on, man. Why are you always picking on me, man? Nick has a breakfast, man. He got heat.
Starting point is 00:21:36 He's going to go all in. I will always be an interrogator about your music. Yeah, you got definitely an interrogator. You know what? And I will get to that, too. You know the thing about my music is like it's funny to me
Starting point is 00:21:46 because I rhyming words ain't hard now to be a great artist now we want to talk about that I'm here to be
Starting point is 00:21:54 the best artist I can be and I think when it's all setting down when I'm going oh that shit could get down
Starting point is 00:21:59 a little bit that shit actually was talented not for music everything else I mean everything when i say everything else i think everything okay let's talk this real quick are we saying because i'll give you one of the others are we saying rap or music i've only heard you rap what was that
Starting point is 00:22:18 okay say less you never you never seen me play guitar oh no no you talk about i saw the piece you did with um oh what what was the sister's name? Kiara Sheard. Kiara Sheard. That was dope. I grew up in a church, Charlemagne. I could pick up any instrument in a church and play it. He's judging you off of Gigolo.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Gigolo Wildfire. Gigolo. Okay. I like Gigolo. Okay, how hard you say the words, you ain't going to make that song. No more fire. You didn't like Can I Live, me and Anthony Hamilton? Me and Kanye produced it? I don't even remember that record. I fire You didn't like Can I Live Me and Anthony Hamilton Me and Kanye produced it
Starting point is 00:22:45 I don't even remember that record I remember Jay-Z Can I Live Can I I do Back to Mariah Carey Versus Versus
Starting point is 00:22:52 He's gonna hate on me forever And I love it Cause it's my friend I need this challenge Just in the music I support Nick In everything else he does So Wildin' Out ain't music
Starting point is 00:23:00 Wildin' Out's fire I produce every beat On that show Every song you've heard I wrote it Even when they be doing like the the songs like the uh church who makes the beat where do you think the beat came from every song every music everything you hear i make on the spot sometimes okay tell me about that i know i So everything you ever see, anything sonically that's ever come out of that wine, I've made myself.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Wow. Okay. I didn't know. What do you say now? What do you say now? I support him in everything he does, except for his rap career. I love Wild N' Out. Who doesn't love Wild N' Out?
Starting point is 00:23:37 Wild N' Out is a classic staple in our culture. Dizzy Van Winkle. And every time you came on Wild N' Out, I bodied you in the freestyle. Let's go to verse. No, I had a good ball one time. He did have the one. My kids didn't look like me or some s***.
Starting point is 00:23:50 No, no. It was, oh, you the bird man of TV and you need to pay all your little wheezes. Who wrote that? Me. Off the top. So back to Mariah Carey versus. Who could go against Mariah? Only person who has the level of talent. And this would have person who has the level of talent.
Starting point is 00:24:06 And this would have never happened. The level of talent and hits. Whitney Houston? No. Because Mariah writes. That's why people got to understand. Mariah's a musician. I'm not impressed by people who can perform songs that it took 30 people to make with you.
Starting point is 00:24:21 That's a lot of people, though. That's Michael Jackson. They can't even stab it at somebody. No, that's Michael Jackson. That's Beyonce. Exactly. That's R lot of people though That's Michael Jackson That's Beyonce That's Rihanna The greatest are the ones You can put somebody in a room By their damn self and they come out with a hit
Starting point is 00:24:34 Shout out to Stevie Wonder No one can ever do a versus with him That's literally He was one of the real ones that called me That's like close friends He and I have this conversation. There's a different level. I see what's going on with you.
Starting point is 00:24:49 You're FaceTiming me all the time. I'm like, who is this for? Stevie B or you? He's looking at the phone when he FaceTimed me. He's so funny. He's like, yo, I'm driving. I got to go. I can't be driving and talking about the same song.
Starting point is 00:25:09 No, but I'm impressed by artists like that. So only person in this day and age that could have gone against Mariah Carey because she writes all of her songs. She actually produces all of her songs. She puts the songs together and performs them at a high level. R. Kelly. I've actually watched Mariah write out lyrics and say, I'm going to go put this to something. And then when you can perform it at a six octave level, you know what I mean? And that's what I watched R. Kelly do the same thing.

That's right. This isn't nothing new. We're just getting started.

Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club, and we are talking about money this morning. Where did it come from, you? This comes from Heart to Heart.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Kevin Hart sat down with Jay-Z on his show, and he was talking about issues that he's had when it comes to family, friends, and money. Listen to this. And how money can come between friends. You know, we haven't had money for a long time, so we don't know how to. We're not professionals at navigating how to communicate from that space. Some people haven't evolved past 16. They're still stuck in that place.
Starting point is 00:27:26 You're evolving every year. So that may be a threat to them. You have cousins. You got to go home for Thanksgiving and people are talking to you like Kevin Hart. And you're going home for solace. You want family. You're going home for peace of mind. You're going home for peace of mind.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And they don't give you that because you're not. Your cousins in your grandma's living room saying, yo, man, I got this play. I want to you. If you just give me, you know, me for the honey, I could make you two million. You like it don't work like that. You got to explain to him like life isn't like that. All right.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Good morning, Gene. Good morning. So you had this problem yourself. Yes, I have. First of all, good morning, Angelou. Good morning, Solomon. Peace, King. Yeah. So pretty much I've had an issue when I was younger that I always wanted to help the family.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And what I had to learn that you can't pour from a cup to tap empty. You got to make sure that your blessings are overflowing before you start helping other people. Right. And you have to be able to discern when to say yes and when to say no. Right. Because you'll put yourself in the bind. I never want to feel mad or bitter that I did something, like that I helped somebody, you know, that needed it.
Starting point is 00:28:31 So I don't want to put myself in that position. But we're not friends anymore now because you asked for something. I gave it to you. You made a promise to me and then couldn't fulfill that side of the promise. But I don't like when people also borrow money and then never bring it up again. Exactly. And a lot of times what I do, if I give to somebody, I don't expect it back. But if you're going to give it back, then I expect you to give it back.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Don't tell me you're going to give it back if you're not. If you just need it and can't get it back, just say, hey, I'm not going to be able to pay you back, but I really need this right now. That's right. All right. Well, thank you. You're a good man. Yes. All right. Y'all have. You're a good man. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Y'all have a blessed day. You too. I'll tell you something else too, man. Sometimes you can be paying someone. You can be, you know, giving them money, making sure they're eating. They might blow the money
Starting point is 00:29:15 and then feel like you should be giving them more to blow. Like they feel like they don't even have to do the right thing with their money because they think that you're always going to be giving it to them. Yeah, or sometimes you do a lot for somebody and you give them money all the time and then
Starting point is 00:29:29 one time you say no, all of a sudden you're the worst person in the world. They forget all the other great things that you did because you said no one time. Yep. All right. Good morning. Who's this? Good morning. This is Dove.
Starting point is 00:29:40 How you doing? What's up, Dove? How much? How are you? I'm good. So what's up with your money issues? Oh, man. My boy, man.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Who's my boy? I let him meet my kids. I met his kids. And we used to work together. And I let him borrow money because he told me he needed to re-up. And I let him borrow money. And then my car broke down. So I needed a car real quick.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I bought a car with him a week later the training went and i put money into it and i'm like yo just give me back a hundred dollars that's it he's like i got you i got you didn't mean to run around ever since it's like and then then you want to be on social media flashing money it's like bro you owe me a hundred dollars what are you doing that's the worst when somebody owe you money and they on social media doing it up flashing that flashing that i'm like that. I'm like, you know what? It is what it is. Like, I already let you borrow money.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Like, you know, God bless me. So, I'm not tripping over $100. But I'm just going to cut you off. It is what it is. Now, Dov, is Tranny short for transmission? Yep. Okay. I just wanted to check.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Okay. I knew what you meant, sir. I mean, I used context clues. You talked about a car. I just never heard that. I'm good heard that. I'm good, brother. You know how long I've been trying to get in contact for this number?
Starting point is 00:30:53 We appreciate you, brother. Yeah, glad you made it. Can we borrow some money? Unless you borrow, let me hold it for you. Bye. I don't even need nothing. Just follow me on the gram, at C the God, C-T-H-A-G-O-D. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Well, that is... Well, we got to give a moral of the story, man. And the moral of the story for me is no. N-O period. No is a complete sentence. And you have to use your own discernment when it comes to who you loan money to. And if you choose not to loan any money, that's perfectly fine. Don't let anybody, family, friend, or whoever make you feel otherwise. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Well, there you go. There's your advice. It's The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 00:31:42 This is her first time here. Finally. Make the stallion. Come on, give Meg some round of applause. That's right. Get the energy right in here, goddammit. A.K.A. Sugar, A.K.A. Tina Snow in the building. Alba's out right now.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Now, let's start. For people that don't know, how did Meg Thee Stallion start out as a rapper? How did you get into this rap game? So, my mom was a rapper. And, like, every day after school and when she would get off work, I would her in her room writing and stuff and then she would be like going to the studio and I'll be in the little waiting room and I'm pretty sure she thought I was in there doing like little kids stuff but I'll be like listening at the door like okay yeah and I really thought it was normal I kind of low-key thought
Starting point is 00:32:16 everybody mama was doing that. I didn't know so like I don't know it was just normal so I would eventually like start stealing her CDs with like all her instrumentals on there and, like, start sneaking and writing. And then she would be, like, asking, like, have you seen my CDs? And I would be, like, no. And then, like, eventually when I graduated from high school, I was, like, I can rap. And she was, like, no, you can't. And I was, like, yeah, I can. She was, like, let me hear you.
Starting point is 00:32:39 So, I started rapping. And she was, like, oh, my God. You can't rap. Yeah, she was really. Do you remember the first verse you spit for i really don't remember what i was saying but i remember i rapped over like the i'm different beat by 2 chain and she was like oh like so then ever since then like i don't think she still even took me seriously then so i started going to the studio on my own and so when she knew i was at the studio
Starting point is 00:33:00 by myself and stuff she was like oh hell no i'm gonna manage you and we probably was raw She probably was raw too. I was exactly how I rap now like I was talking probably a little more crazier back then. She was like you ain't living that life. I was like mama don't be mad I'm a curse okay and she was like okay I don't think she knew exactly how hard I was about to go and she was like I don't know where your mouth came from and only thing my mama ever played for me was like Pimp C, UGK. Oh, yes. There you go. That's what it came from, mom. Like my daddy only played Three Sticks Mafia. So I'm like, I don't understand why y'all not figuring out why I'm talking like this. I read somewhere that Pimp C's wife wanted to, she had vocals for you that she wanted to give you. Did you ever do that? I mean, I got the vocals. I got vocals from her and Juicy J.
Starting point is 00:33:41 So, I mean, I was working. I'm still working on my album like i had to hurry up and put together an ep like of songs that i just really like that i recorded so far but like stuff like that i really like to take my time on because i really look up to pimsy so i really wanted i want to do the song right how long did it take for you to to i don't want to say pop but to actually pop because it seems like on the outside world it seems like it was fast it seems like it was a little rumbling and then it was gone i feel like i i'm still getting there like i don't feel like i'm just like i don't i don't feel like i've like popped how many platinum singles you got already uh three i mean no you got the right attitude that's true they don't
Starting point is 00:34:20 really count until you put out a debut album right yeah i feel like I just got a lot more work to do. I like to work. I like to hustle. I don't feel like nothing should just be given to me. I really do want to work for it. What do you think the shift was? Do you think it was the Wale song, the pole dancing? Definitely, that was one of the big moments for me.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Everybody knows I used to do a lot of cyphers. That's where stuff started going viral from. And then Wale was the the first you know big artist to like reach out to me and say I want to I want to do a song with Meg and my manager at the time called me he's like um Wale want to talk to you I was like Wale Wale like like Wale you think he was trying to holler at first or you think no like as soon as I met him like I met him in the studio um and he just played a bunch of records and I heard when he played pole dance I was like oh duh like I'm gonna do this one so we just been like really close ever since why you think Pimp C
Starting point is 00:35:09 don't get the proper recognition that he deserves I saw somebody post the other day they said if y'all worried about you know if Boosie offend y'all y'all would have hated Pimp C yeah he's just very southern like and sometimes people from the south like stick to that old southern way like their old southern mentality and like a lot of the times uh i feel like a lot just southern rap in general don't doesn't really get the respect that it deserves even now i mean even now for the past 25 years at least they've been they respect the south now i feel like a lot of the times like people don't get it like I hear when I go different places They're like, oh, I like your accent, but I can't really hear it
Starting point is 00:35:47 But like but when you from someplace different cuz people will tell me I have an accent and I'm like I don't have an accent like if I'm in the south they'll tell me that definitely you have an accent Meg definitely has I feel like people not used to it like the way we I feel like maybe we talk a little slower Like I don't know. I just feel like sometimes people don't really catch the music. Like, of course, like Juvenile, like Lil Wayne, like, I don't know. Lyricists. Lyricists, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:14 But I feel like it's still catching on. Like, it's still growing. You think that sometimes people misjudge, like, looking from the outside with, you hot girl and all of that because I looked at it and we were trying to have this discussion on just being like somebody about your business as a woman that is independent taking care of yourself you go to school TSU shout out to TSU shout out because they're so proud of you but sometimes people think that means you just out here hoeing and thotting and they think that's what it is um being a hot girl you know it really started off as me really just letting everybody know what type of summer i was about to have like me just being unapologetic unapologetic
Starting point is 00:36:50 me just doing what i want to do not really caring about anybody else's opinion like me just being me you know just doing what we want to do as women like we shouldn't be trying to fit into like a certain standard that people try to put us in a certain box people try to put us in you should just do what makes you happy now when the boys got involved it was like oh yeah y'all on that hot girl y'all think y'all this and then it turned into like a whole like battle city boy yeah i was like whoa y'all making this yeah well they drug it i was like damn like hot girls like i was seeing they was like yeah real hot girl I was like what did you do for the fall
Starting point is 00:37:28 I went I'm it's a hot girl semester oh yeah we went back to school how's that going I seen you studying when you was putting you as a person and all that I'm taking quizzes every other day doing homework like I try to get it in when I can what's your GPA oh I got like a maybe like a 2.7 2.8 right now it could be better what's your major health administration do you really want to do that like why why are you still in school so what is the it's got to be a reason so to take it from the beginning when when you go to college I feel like half the time a lot of people only going to college because that's what their parents told them to do parents made them do it right so i don't think that you even go to college knowing exactly what you want to do like that that's where i was at with it my grandmother told me i should go to school to be a
Starting point is 00:38:11 nurse and i was like okay well my grandma said do it i guess i'll do it but i always knew what i really wanted to do i just hadn't told my family so i went anyway and i would be sitting in class super bored like i'll be like oh my god i don't want to be here like i'm raps and shit like I was just like damn I don't want to be here but I don't want to drop out because I don't want to disappoint my family so I'm like well what can I do to like stay here but actually be interested so I changed my major to business management and I still didn't like it I was still bored I was not interested so I had left PV and I had got a job and I was still doing classes online at like HTC because I didn't want to not be in school completely. I just didn't know what I wanted to do with myself because I wanted to rap, but I still wasn't like I knew my grandmother wouldn't like it.
Starting point is 00:38:55 So it was something I was hiding from her, too. So finally, I was like, you know what? I'm gonna just go back to school, but I really need to figure out what I want to do. That's right. So I knew that I wanted to be in the health field, but I knew I didn to be in the health field but I knew I didn't want to be a doctor I knew I didn't want to be a nurse I was like well what what is it like I just knew I want to help so I told my grandma like where I was at with it like I was like I really want to run some like maybe I could be the head of the hospital I don't know and she was like you know what you should look into
Starting point is 00:39:20 healthcare administration and TSU had the major so once I started going to TSU now I'm actually like learning and I'm making A's and I'm paying attention and then I figured out you know what what I'm learning to hear a lady had came and spoke and she like ran an assisted living facility so I was like that sounds like something I would really want to get into and my grandmother I watched her take care of my great-grandmother for a long time and I'm like no definitely this can't be only going on in my family and what I'm seeing. So I was like, I want to open up some assisted living facilities. That's smart.
Starting point is 00:39:51 That's entrepreneurship. So that's what I really want to do now. And since I've already been going to school for so long, I might as well keep it going. How many more credits do you need to finish? I think I need maybe like six more classes. But I'm taking them like two at a time. So that's why it's going slow because I am. We got to get the GPA up though.
Starting point is 00:40:07 We got to get the GPA up. At least a 3.0. I got to get a 3. I want to be better and I want to do better, but I'm trying. You be working. So you're thinking about life after that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, anything I asked for, like, T-Ferris would just do it. I would record at the studio every day with them. I had shows.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I was just coming up. T-Ferris will be there. Carl will pop up from time to time. I'm pretty sure he helped a lot with some radio at the time. What do you mean? Like paying for radio? I don't know how that goes. It happens, Megan.
Starting point is 00:51:22 It's a legal show. I'm having an honest conversation. I'm a radio personality. I can say that. Whatever. I mean, I don't really know how that goes. It happens, Megan. It's a legal show, Megan. I'm having an honest conversation. I'm a radio personality. I can say that. Whatever. I mean, I don't really know how it goes, so I can't really speak on it. But I just... Well, you hired somebody to work right there.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Like, whatever it is, I know he had to do something. You know what I'm saying? Right. So I'm not taking that away from him. I'm not saying that he never gave me nothing. But then when things start really taking off, it will be me, my mom and T Ferris. So when we will be on the road, that's the team. When things start picking up even more, I got signed with 300.
Starting point is 00:51:59 So I really just didn't see, you know, nobody from 1501 that much. Do you think things shift when you went to Roc Nation, when Roc Nation started managing you and taking care of your contract? No, like what people don't realize is I don't put everything on social media. Like I don't put my problems on social media. Like I'm not a person that like to vent online. Like I just don't care about a lot of people outside of Penn. So like you would have never knew that we weren't talking even then.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Like, it wasn't like when I see him, I speak. Yeah, but it's not like I'm we besties or nothing, you know, like me and T. Ferris have a really, really close relationship. So when you got on Instagram, you had just got to the point where you were really frustrated. Yeah, because I had already seen like I just never made it a public thing. Like he had already been talking about me online but i never like responded to it so i don't think people realize that i was just at a point where i was already frustrated and then when i found out i couldn't drop any music i was like well i might as well say something now y'all ain't letting me drop music so i might as well tell people why i can't drop it well i didn't understand that either why would they not want you to drop
Starting point is 00:53:00 music if they eat off it i really don't know i could not tell you what like what's the thought process all right now keep it locked we have more with meg the stallion when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with meg the stallion charlamagne do you think this is a situation where a major company is poaching off the work that a 1501 did to help you get to this point no like rock nation don't have nothing to do with the problems we was already going through i don't like it i don't like that you know people bring up jay-z like jay-z not worried about them like you you saying names that i feel like it's just you're just trying to draw like attention to the situation like facts are public i don't attention to the situation. Facts are public.
Starting point is 00:53:45 I don't have to lie. Why would I lie? I feel like people want to bully me. You don't have to gang up on me. I didn't do nothing to y'all, so I really don't understand where it's coming from. I think a lot of that came from, I think you said that Roc Nation looked at the contract and told you something. So when I finally got real lawyers and people around me that knew what they were talking about it was like some things in my contract are just unconscionable in the state of Texas so
Starting point is 00:54:11 it's like well let's just fix the things that are wrong so I just want to renegotiate my contract it looks like things are gonna move toward that direction are you feeling like I really feel like if you had a conversation... I tried to have a conversation. Because he said he had... Carl said he hasn't heard from you since August. He's like,
Starting point is 00:54:29 I haven't heard from you. He ain't heard from me before that. Like, we just don't have a relationship. So, it's not nothing that's brand new. It's not because of Roc Nation. We just already
Starting point is 00:54:36 didn't have a relationship. Maybe Carl was the money guy, but he wasn't the day-to-day guy. That's what it seems like. I mean, like I said, like, I could... I know what's being said
Starting point is 00:54:45 is not true like all that hundreds of thousands of dollars like people not even you know putting it out there like we asked for the proof and you're not even giving us the proof of that i gotta go back and look at some of your old instagram pictures well thank god we got an album out today well so it's not even my album like Like, it's an EP. It's an EP. So it's an EP. So who is Suga now? So Suga is basically just like a girl who is going through it, but she getting through it. It's like me basically letting people know that I'm not perfect.
Starting point is 00:55:14 I'm a human. I know I be f***ing up, but I be trying. I be getting through it. You know what I'm saying? And I just, I don't like the, I don't like the fact that everybody be trying to seem so perfect. Why do you want to be perfect? But obviously people online, they just are all so amazing and nothing's wrong with them. And they never been through shit in their life. So, I mean, that's more so what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Isn't it whack, though, that you got to learn that in real time? Like, that has to play out in front of the world. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. As you learn those growing pains. I mean, it's just all a part of being in the light so i can't complain i knew knew what i was getting into so it's not nothing i'm upset about it's just i'm just learning as i go so when i put my head i'll just be like okay you and the baby make great records with each other oh yeah are y'all doing an album together is that a plan to do a full
Starting point is 00:56:03 project i don't know if we're gonna do a full project but i know we definitely got some music that's gonna come up and some other things i don't want to say yet yeah the baby always says if he could do a collab album with somebody it'd be you i love him like i really think that'll be fire if we actually did it what type of deal is megan estallion looking for not necessarily in that situation but just in general at this point in your career, what would be fair to Megan Thee Stallion? I just want it to be fair, and I want it to be good for everybody.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Nothing is going to be perfect, but if we can both come to an agreement, you got to give a little to get a little. You know what I'm saying? I understand that, so I just want everything to be fair. Do you have a relationship with J Prince at all? No. Have you ever met him in person though okay growing up did you look up to rap a lot in jay prince had to right in youth
Starting point is 00:56:49 like i didn't i was young so i didn't really know anything about it got you got you i mean if you knew pipsy and all of them though like you i only knew the music like i didn't know the backstory i didn't know the background uh i mean you know you from you i'm from houston you know you hear things but it wasn't I didn't think it was gonna be anything that I would ever have to deal with right I wanted to talk about the song with Jay accused you of lying this morning on his Instagram said you're lying on him in court documents what is that about like that's something that I definitely can't talk about but I don't know who helped you negotiate your original deal with 50 no one yeah I mean all of this I

Or you want a little more? I mean, 40% seems pretty good. I mean, that's good. Like, that's really not even the highlight of what my problem is so but you can't talk about what i can't talk about exactly what it is

My grandma always said, man doesn't take you where money won't.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Yeah, my grandmother pretty much preached the same thing to me. My grandma always told me to just be positive. Always be kind to people. You never know what people are going through. So you just always should be nice. Let's play a joint off the EP. What you want to hear? Let's play Captain Hook.

Starting point is 01:00:07 Megan, don't be a stranger, goddammit. I won't. I really had a good time up here. All right. It's Meg the Stallion. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Charlamagne, say the game.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Don't get out of shape. Charlamagne. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I time for Donkey of the Day. 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 it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitch.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Who's Donkey of the Day today? Wow, Donkey of the Day goes to John F. Kennedy Middle School in Connecticut. In particular, a teacher named Bree Quarton. She's the district's health and physical education coordinator and superintendent, Christopher Drezek. I think I'm pronouncing his last name right now. I have extreme love for public school teachers. Drop on the clues bombs for all the public school teachers out there. Because my mother has been a public school teacher in South Carolina for as long as I've been alive. And I understand the impact that
Starting point is 01:01:01 public school teachers have on kids. And I know how hard that job is because you have to truly love it because it's not like the pay is your incentive i mean you have to really care for these kids and their well-being lesson plans assignments all of these things teachers come up with to educate kids we appreciate you drop another clues bomb for teachers man public school teachers we know it's not easy and in this era of social media video games all types of things just pulling at these kids attention cutting through to these children and creating things that can actually appeal to these kids is tough so i'm not judging okay but as a parent of a middle schooler i would be concerned about this lesson plan that came out of jfk middle school i'm holding it in my hand right now okay and the title is pizza and consent okay basically kids at jfk middle school in connecticut were instructed to use pizza as a metaphor for sex and asked to cite
Starting point is 01:01:56 their favorite toppings for example cheese was for kissing and olives were for giving oral basically they compared ordering a pizza to receiving consent i guess i can't make this kind of stuff up listen to eric sanzi director of outreach for parents defending education she did an interview with abc7 katv to describe the assignment the assignment started out with a with a sentence that said yes pizza can be a metaphor for sex and then it went on to explain that just like when friends have to agree on pizza toppings when they're sharing a pizza, that people need to agree on what they're willing to do and not do in terms of consent. And so they decided to have the
Starting point is 01:02:37 students list their sexual likes and dislikes and then draw them on a pizza as pizza toppings. Now, again, these are eighth graders. And it's important to keep in mind under 15 percent of eighth graders have had sex. So they're being asked very personal questions on a topic that many of them are totally inexperienced with and likely uncomfortable talking about in school. This is middle school. How many toppings do you think I've had on my pizza in middle school? Now,'m not a conspiracy theorist but i enjoy a great conspiracy theory and pizzagate was a great conspiracy theory you remember pizzagate don't you uh the false allegation uh that the clintons used the comet ping pong pizza restaurant in washington dc as a front for a pedophile sex ring in the back room was supposedly used for kidnapping and kidnapping and trafficking children okay now of
Starting point is 01:03:24 course all this was proven to be false but it made a lot of noise all right the owner of comet ping pong and his staff received death threats uh people protested outside of the restaurant a guy actually went in the restaurant and fired a gun at an employee see these fake stories be having real world consequences okay people believe these conspiracy theories and when you promote these false and reckless conspiracy theories, bad things happen. I'm saying all that to say JFK Middle School in Connecticut has done nothing but contributed to that conspiracy theory. I don't even know if Pizzagate is still a thing, but this right here is going to resurrect it. All right. Listen, my daughter is in eighth grade. She's 13. These kids are watching shows like Euphoria.
Starting point is 01:04:00 These kids have social media. These kids talk amongst each other other do you remember when you were 13 12 11 whatever age we were in middle school we was already talking about sex in a real way so i can only imagine with all the access these kids have now what their conversations are like so you don't need stunts like this just talk to the kids okay just talk to them all right listen let me let me read y'all some of this this is why they use the metaphor for sex. They say when you order your pizza with friends, everyone checks in about each other's preferences. Some people might be vegan. Some people might be gluten free. Others might love pineapple while others prefer pepperoni. Some might not like pizza at all. If you're a vegetarian, but your friend is a meat lover, sharing a pizza is going to bring up a lot of issues. You don't know who you can share your pizza with unless you ask okay didn't they say the same goes with sex no what are they talking
Starting point is 01:04:50 about with the metaphor don't make no sense the correlation makes no sense you have to check in with your partners and ask for their preferences your partner might be comfortable with one sexual activity but not another maybe your partners only want to be touched a certain way or maybe your partners prefer to use certain language Or maybe they don't want to have sex at all You'll never know your wants desires and and you'll never know if your wants desires and boundaries are compatible with theirs unless you ask No, I don't want y'all asking my daughter about any of that and once again furthermore How many toppings do you think these kids have had in middle school? Middle school, I would hope these kids are virgins.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Okay, just plain cheese pizzas. Matter of fact, no cheese, no tomato sauce, just raw dough. You know, that hasn't even been put in the oven yet. All right. Amanda, who is a parent from that school district, took to social media to express her disgust with the assignment. Let's listen to Amanda. Just last week, a school assignment in JFK labeled pizza and consent was sent out for students. What's pizza got to do with it, you wonder?
Starting point is 01:05:46 We can use pizza as a metaphor for sex. Those are the first two lines of this assignment, which is centered around establishing consent and boundaries. Except for page two, where it takes it one step further and states, now that you know the metaphor for sex, let's explore your preference. Draw and color your favorite type of pizza. Mirror these preferences in relation to sex. Here are some examples. Likes, cheese equals kissing.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Dislikes, olives equals giving oral. Since when has it become acceptable for a teacher to ask a student what their sexual wants, desires, and boundaries are? Maybe our board members would like to answer this assignment and share their thoughts, just like our 8th grade students were requested to do. Now, of course course the school is currently backtracking superintendent christopher dreesick says it was a mistake and the assignment has had been inadvertently sent to the students basically they are claiming they sent the pizza to the wrong house okay he said while the assignment was inappropriate there was no hidden agenda he said while addressing the parents there was no secret cabal to indoctrinate kids on something let me tell you man if you know
Starting point is 01:06:46 you have to you know explain that there's no secret cabal to indoctrinate kids if a school superintendent has to explain that all right then my kids might be in the wrong school all right an explanation like that is just i don't know man i just feel like this assignment is prompting kids to become sexually active before their time and what does pizza have to do with consent? I still don't even know that all right choosing what to put on your pizza when you are ordering with a group is hard enough By itself now you're trying to make it a metaphor for sex and even after it's been explained I still don't know what any of this has to do with consent all right just talk to these kids They're young adults.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Speak to them as such. I promise they can handle it. But pizza as a metaphor for consent, they cannot. And what's the topping for anal, huh? Please give John F. Kennedy Middle School in Connecticut the biggest hee-haw. My kids ain't eating pizza no more. That's what you got out of that.
Starting point is 01:07:51 That's what you got out of that. That's what I got out of that. That's what you got out of that. Chicken fingers and french fries all day long. Jesus Christ. And what is the topic? What is the topic for anal? Now, I just want to know.
Starting point is 01:08:03 I just want to know. Because they only put two. They put cheese and they put olives no olives was oral sex and cheese was kissing i would like to know what y'all had the topping for anal probably peppers i would say jalapeno peppers jalapenos no brown sauce not like that i would say jalapeno peppers because everybody don't love jalapeno peppers right huh what's something on the pizza that people don't... Pineapple. I would think pineapples.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Because everybody doesn't get pineapples on their pizza. You know what I mean? Mushrooms? Nah, everybody likes mushrooms. Everybody don't like it. You know what? Never mind. All right, guys.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Yeah. All right. Well, thank you for that dog here today. Yes. I don't... Yeah. Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking about parental paranoia. Now, this comes from where, Charlamagne?
Starting point is 01:14:29 Well, you know, my last book, you know, Shook One, I got a whole chapter called Parental Paranoia. And I think that, you know, if you're a parent, that's just the anxiety that comes from, you know, just having kids. Right. And after what we saw this past or that Monday what day was that Sunday I can't remember with Tuesday you know the shooting at you know Robb elementary school I know for a fact it's really impacting how I parent you know I'm thinking about you know pulling my daughter from her field trip that she got coming up and you know my daughter that my oldest daughter the teenager now
Starting point is 01:15:01 so she wants to do things like you know go to the to the mall and hang out with her friends in public places. I'm talking about even just hanging out in front of the ice cream parlor. Your younger kids, they want to go to the park. And I'm like, no, we got park at home. You know what I mean? We got mall at home. We got field trip at home, even though we have none of this stuff at home. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:15:22 But I just want to talk to other parents this morning because i just i know i can't be alone with this and i feel bad because you want your child to have those experiences you want your child to have those experiences with their friends you want them to have a childhood basically and i know you can't protect your kids from everything in the world but damn it if i won't try and i know what makes me comfortable as a parent is taking away from experiences that she'll never get again so it's like i'm just emotionally it just makes me feel bad but I will say this but we're having so many kids you get a couple of do-overs right with my 20 year old and my 18 year old I was very very protective over them I didn't
Starting point is 01:15:57 want I didn't let them go out they weren't allowed to do some of the things that their friends are able to do whether it was go to the park and go to the mall without me and my wife being there or a family member being there and i realized when they got a little older they didn't have as many friends because it was i didn't allow them to go out as much but now with it with the younger kids i'm starting them to let them go out more i'm but i'm going out with them that's so not fair for older kids but but you know you you see how it affects absolutely you know i mean and as a kid you know i went out i was at the park i was playing with my friends i have so many different
Starting point is 01:16:29 friends from different blocks and different areas because i went out my kids don't have that because i was so protective of them because i didn't want to see them get hurt what you what you just said is what makes me feel bad because i know i have friends who were the older child who didn't get to do a lot of the things that the parents let The younger kids do You know and it's just like it's not my fault The circumstances of the world are the way That they are right now so it makes me feel bad
Starting point is 01:16:53 That I'm not letting my oldest daughter do certain things But then it's like man I gotta protect My family At what age were you allowed to travel And not travelers flying cause we couldn't afford it back in the day But drive to another place To anything or to go to another city? My circumstances were a little different. My father was dealing with substance abuse, and he was wilding.
Starting point is 01:17:14 You know what I mean? So I didn't have much parental supervision. I was a bad kid. But put it like this. My daughter right now, she's a junior at NYU. She has never traveled anywhere without me never gone anywhere like you know how kids go to spring break they go to Atlanta they go see their friends never well see I used to lie about stuff like that to your point I lied and went I left and went to Black
Starting point is 01:17:35 Biker weekend in Myrtle Beach one weekend when I was in high school and didn't even tell my parents I just went I had five dollars in my pocket and I just left yes I just have five dollars in my pocket and I went with three of my homeboys. I was just missing for the weekend. And guess what? What? Nobody went looking for me because they knew that little badass boy is that black biker we're going to get at Myrtle Beach.
Starting point is 01:17:52 He'll be back, and I'm going to beat his ass when he get home, guys. That is gracious. I think we should talk to your parents. Geez, they didn't really love you. We were talking about Yee's parents not taking her to Disney, but geez. No, my parents love me. I was going to ask also Yee now. I know you got a bunch of God kids, Yee, and you watch your God kids.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Does this make you feel any way when you got your kids? I mean, I think it's way different than being a parent, but I had a lot of freedom when I was growing up. So you know, I look at it a little differently. That's all. My parents definitely let me do what I needed to do and be responsible. You can't control what anybody else does
Starting point is 01:18:27 But you also don't want to be scared to live your life and deprive your kids of you know, having a good time Being a kid absolutely. Hello. Who's this? Hey, good morning, Nicole. Hey Nicole, you got kids? I do I have a four-year-old and how does this you know With everything that's going on. How does that make you feel as a parent? So I actually have double paranoia because I have a four-year-old, but I also work in a school in the Bronx. Oh, wow. So it does get me.
Starting point is 01:18:54 It should be triple with the Bronx. Well, so that's my point is that you have so many things to worry about that I just kind of tried not to live in fear because you can't go to a grocery store movie theater um realistically you can't keep your kids in the house um so just trying to push through that and understand and teach them different things what you just said what you said about not living in fears is it messes with me on a spiritual level too because we know we're supposed to walk by faith right Like we're supposed to believe in a higher power.
Starting point is 01:19:26 But in my mind, I feel like, you know, God is the one telling me like, hey, shut all of this down. You know, nope,
Starting point is 01:19:32 let her stay home. And it's confusing. Like it's confusing because I know it's confusing. It is. Thank you, my mom. I used to hate
Starting point is 01:19:41 when my mom used to be like, I have a feeling you shouldn't go out. I just got a bad feeling. And I used to be like, oh my God, now I can't go out because you had a mom. I used to hate when my mom used to be like, I have a feeling you shouldn't go out. I just got a bad feeling. And I used to be like, oh, my God. Now I can't go out because you had a feeling? Hey, I be trusting them feelings from the elders, though. When a black woman tell you, you might need to sit your ass down.
Starting point is 01:19:54 You probably need to sit your ass down. If I think about all the times my grandma or mama said that to me and I still went out and I wonder why I got in so much trouble when I was younger, I should have listened. I don't play about that. Her way of saying no was, ask your father. That's what my wife does, too. When she be like, ask your dad.
Starting point is 01:20:10 They know my answer going to be no. Well, you want to go where? How long? How far is that? Lord have mercy. Nah, we not going to. We not doing it. We got more calls?
Starting point is 01:20:16 Yeah. No, we'll take some more when we come back. 800-585-1051. We're asking all the parents out there, you know, with everything going on. Is this impacting how you parent, man? Is your parental paranoia, the anxiety that comes with being a parent, through the roof right now? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:20:39 And your opinion to The Breakfast Club top. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about, to all the parents out there, you know, with everything going on in this world, the mass shootings, I seen a second grader, they
Starting point is 01:21:01 found a gun in his desk yesterday. With everything going on, does this affect the way that you parent? Because, I mean, listen, we all already suffer from parental paranoia. I wrote a whole chapter about this in my last book, Shook One. And when you see these situations, like what happened at Robb Elementary School, it brings back all the memories of, you know, Sandy Hook and anything. And it's not even just Robb Elementary. It's like what happened at the grocery store.
Starting point is 01:21:24 It's what happened at the grocery store in Buffalo, the church in California. Like these things are happening so much now. And I feel bad because you want your child to have these experiences. You don't want to deprive them of just, you know, living their life. But then you want to protect them as well.
Starting point is 01:21:38 And you feel like protecting them is keeping them at home. Like don't go anywhere unnecessary. Correct. That's how I be feeling. All right. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? DJ Envy, this is Crystic.
Starting point is 01:21:49 What's up? What's up, bro? You got kids, bro? Yeah, man, I got a daughter. She's nine years old. First off, Yee, Morris Chestnut was good, man. Peace, King. Thank you for acknowledging my attractiveness.
Starting point is 01:22:02 No problem, man. Yeah, man, yo, first off, it's a tragedy. At the time, you know, a parent has to take care of their kids. Absolutely. You know, it's horrible. But I got a nine-year-old and parental paranoia
Starting point is 01:22:15 is a real thing, man. You know, I'm with you when it comes to keeping your kids at home, when it comes to homeschooling. But, you know, socially, they're going to be growing up awkward. That's how I feel, you know, socially, they're going to be growing up awkward.
Starting point is 01:22:25 That's how I feel, you know. They're not going to be able to have a proper conversation with people. They're going to be sexual, but I don't feel like they'll have what they need to be a part of society. Hey, listen, I agree with you, and that's what makes it so difficult, but you know, man, especially when you got girls, you see all this
Starting point is 01:22:41 stuff about human trafficking and all of this other stuff, so it's not even just the things like the violence, the shootings, you know. You hear those stories about the girls getting kidnapped at Dallas Mavericks games. You're like, man, what the hell? But not only that, bullying is so much going on. And I don't think there's nobody for these kids to talk to.
Starting point is 01:22:59 There's nobody to protect these kids. So I feel like as a parent, you got to be there majority of the time to protect them. Hello, who's this? I just want to say kids are getting a lot of trouble at home too just to put that out there hello nah not like the outside world my kids don't get that much trouble nah but i monitor my kids i can control them i know what my kids are online doing i ain't worried about no homeschool shooting there ain't no homeschool shooting happening hello who's this hey this is sharise from Indianapolis.
Starting point is 01:23:25 Hey, Cherise. You got kids, Cherise? I do. I have a 10-year-old, and he has autism. So this topic, I have to call you guys because I'm a registered nurse, and I get up every day, and I talk about mental health awareness because it's Mental Health Awareness Month. And I think we need to focus more on that and thank you charlamagne for all the work that you are doing with mental health thank you queen thank you guys who angela he and um dj envy because you do a lot for the community but anyway i just wanted to say that we have to start talking more about mental health because
Starting point is 01:24:00 this is where these types of episodes are stemming from. We're not focusing enough on mental health awareness. I agree with you because it's a lot of people hurting people, you know, and that's why I always say we rely on each other as humans to protect each other every day just based on our behavior, man. So I agree with you. Hello, who's this? Anessa. Hey, Anessa.
Starting point is 01:24:23 You got kids, Anessa? Yes, I have two girls, two daughters. What's your thoughts, man? I know parenting got to be crazy right now. Yeah, the parental anxiety I have when I go out anywhere with my kids, even when I'm not with them. But when we go to restaurants, I'm sitting making sure that I'm facing doors. We go to grocery stores. I'm thinking about what's our exit plan if something happens.
Starting point is 01:24:44 It's just outrageous. Man, yeah. See. I'm thinking about what's our exit plan if something happens. It's just outrageous. Man. Yeah. See what I'm saying? I'll be honest, though. This makes me feel better because I know I'm not alone. Even though I know parental paranoia is real, and it's got to be heightened right now for everybody.
Starting point is 01:24:58 All right. Well, all right. We got rumors on the way, E. And by the way, there is no moral to this story. After I go to therapy tomorrow and talk to my therapist about this maybe i'll have something for y'all next week but you know parental paranoia is real because my therapist always tells me in regards to any anxiety um think about all the times you thought something was gonna go wrong but it didn't it's very hard not it's very hard
Starting point is 01:25:22 to feel like that now i can't just say well you know yeah she's right all the times i thought about something going wrong it didn't go wrong but man when you see all these things going wrong in all of these places that we frequent on the regular from grocery stores to schools it's like come on yeah but you know what too in this i know we're rapping i don't just have it for myself i have it for other people's kids too absolutely like like yesterday i seen this this young parent he was he was playing not even a young parent like an older brother he was walking his kid and i had i told him look you should be on the other side or the sidewalk like walk you walk closer to the street that's right
Starting point is 01:25:54 shouldn't be walking close to this that's right baby brother should walk to be close to the street even when i'm in the airport that's right and i see a parent talking on the phone and not watching their kid and their kids about to hit their head and i know i should mind my own business but i don't want to see no child hurt. Or no child grabbed. And when you hear stories like, oh, the 15-year-old girl got kidnapped from the Dallas Mavericks game. When you hear the young girl got shot in the Bronx. If you're a parent, you automatically see your child in that situation.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Absolutely. So that's what you're doing. You're looking and you're like, yo, damn, I want him to protect his child the way I would protect mine. And that's how we should always be. That's how you protect. That's how a village protects each other. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:26:29 The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note? I do. Listen, the positive note is simply this. If we don't change, we don't grow.
Starting point is 01:26:45 If we don't grow, we aren't really living. Breakfast Club, bitches! You all finished or you all done?
