And then I stopped because I remember I wanted to listen to the Chloroceptic remix. Okay. How was that? It's dope. Yeah, it's really dope.
Starting point is 00:03:28 2 Chainz got busy. Eminem got busy. Pressure got busy. It seems like Eminem is responding to a lot of the criticism that his album was trash. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:35 And Walk On Water was trash. Oh, he did a new verse and everything. Did a new verse. Oh, okay. Absolutely did a new verse. Yes, absolutely did a new verse. But he absolutely
Starting point is 00:03:41 smoked that record. He did. But I'm not going to let it distract me from the fact that Revival was trash though. Okay. And Walk On Water that record. He did. But I'm not going to let it distract me from the fact that Revival was trash, though. And Walk on Water was trash. In your opinion?
Starting point is 00:03:49 In my opinion. You heard the whole Revival? I didn't hear the whole thing yet. Absolutely. He does have one record on there that's real dope with Alicia Keys because I feel like everything he's been trying to say about Trump and politics and being woke, he said in that record. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:02 But other than that, I'm not here for Thurgood Marshall matters. Oh. All right. I'm not here for that. Woke Eminem is garbage. All right. Well, I get it. I think it's great when people have some beliefs that they want to express.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Oh, absolutely. I love when white people use their privilege to combat prejudice, but you can still be dope when you do it. Well, I'll get the remix on in the mix. Remix is dope, though. He smoked that. I'll definitely get that on. And we got some special guests joining us.
Starting point is 00:04:24 We have the cast of Den of Thieves joining us. Yes. That's 50 Cent. That's O'Shea Jackson Jr. That's Gerard Butler. Pablo Schreiber. And Pablo Schreiber. Porn stash from Orange is the New Black.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Listen, I didn't know Gerard Butler was such a sex symbol. Oh, my God. Gerard Butler is huge. They love him. Don't you remember 300? When they said Gerard Butler was coming up here, I was excited. I'm not talking about his status. I said I didn't know he was such a sex symbol. No, ladies love him. Are you kidding me? Yeah, ladies love Gerard Butler was coming up here, I was excited. I'm not talking about his status. I said I didn't know he was such a sex symbol.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Ladies love him. Are you kidding me? Ladies love Gerard. If you see 300, that's part of the reason why. Why, to show his penis? No, he's like half naked on the whole thing. You ever seen 300? No, I haven't actually.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Really? There's nothing about a bunch of white guys going crazy, killing people that excites me. Sorry. That's a great movie. That's a wonderful movie. I'm sure it is, but I didn't watch it. Alright, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking
Starting point is 00:05:10 about? Yes, let's talk about investors and Apple. They want Apple to fight iPhone addiction among kids, and we'll give you some of those numbers. And guess what? What? If you take this as a man that is linked to infertility, we'll tell you what you need to be aware of. Okay, and also from the Source magazine.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I know, and he's not taking it. I could try it now. I don't think anything will work. But from the Source magazine, Londell McMillan will be joining us, too. We'll kick it with him as well. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:05:35 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, we got to salute Alabama. Last night, they beat Georgia for the national championship. They came back. They were down, I think, 7-0. Was it 7-0?
Starting point is 00:05:51 6-0? They came back and won last night, so congratulations to them. Their quarterback is actually a freshman from Hawaii. I can't pronounce his name, but it's like what he is from Hawaii. Yeah, salute Alabama. I started to watch that game, but then I saw Donald Trump walk out on the field. When I saw Dope 45 come out there, I was like, you know what? I'm going to drink this tea and go to sleep. I'm going to drink this Sour Sop tea and relax.
Starting point is 00:06:10 All right. Now, where do you want to start? You want to start with your president year or where do you want to go? Well, let's start talking about Apple now. Investors in Apple, they have about $2 billion in funds. They own about $2 billion in Apple stock between them. They want Apple to actually work on fighting iPhone addiction among kids. Now, what they have found is that there's a lot of detrimental effects of smartphone addiction. That includes being less attentive in class, insufficient sleep, and a higher risk of depression and suicide. They did an open letter that was posted online over the weekend. And they want Apple to set an example about the obligations of technology companies
Starting point is 00:06:46 to their youngest customers. So basically add some parental controls to their devices, limit the time kids can spend on them, and what content they can access. I'm going to be totally honest with you. That's not Apple's problem. That's not Apple's fault. Yeah, I agree. That's like saying that, you know, alcohol companies have to do that,
Starting point is 00:07:02 cigarette companies have to do that. Like, no, people need to regulate their kids' iPhone use. Well, it's not that they have to, but what they're saying is that they could really set an example to the whole industry. You can't set an example. That's not their responsibility. Absolutely not their responsibility. They responded and, you know, they said we are committed to meeting and exceeding our customers' expectations, especially when it comes to protecting kids.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Yeah, they're going to try to please anybody, but that's the parents' decision. That is absolutely not Apple's responsibility to monitor your kid's iPhone. Even with my daughter. My daughter's only allowed to play on the iPhone maybe an hour a day, and it's usually some type of learning app or something like that. But, yeah, I limit that. Not Apple. You treat the iPhone the same way our parents used to treat TV.
Starting point is 00:07:42 You've been in front of that TV too long now, boy. Go read a book. You know what I'm saying? Go read a book or something. I do it now with my kids. My kids get like a hour of TV a week. Alright. Let's talk about ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is painkillers, is pain relievers like Advil and Motrin. And what they
Starting point is 00:07:58 are saying is that it has been linked to male fertility. So if you take that in doses, and a lot of athletes use that, some of them use it every day, some young men developed a hormonal condition that is linked to reduced fertility. But they did say if you take a small amount that it can be reversible.
Starting point is 00:08:14 So just be careful if you're taking that. So ibuprofen makes you less fertile? Yeah, if you take it frequently. So Antonio Cromartie must take a lot, has never taken ibuprofen ever in his life. Never in his life. All right. Anything else we talking about on Front Page News?
Starting point is 00:08:28 I don't know. That's it. Okay. All right. Now, get it off your chest is next. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night or bad morning and you want to vent a little bit.

Starting point is 00:14:18 Trav, somebody. Hey, ye. Trav, people are asking about you all morning. I told them you're taking, Trav, but they don't care. What's up, Charlamagne? What's up, Charlamagne? What's up, my brother? Hi, sis are asking about you all morning. I told them you're taking Trav, but they don't care. What's up, Charlamagne? What's up, Charlamagne? What's up, my brother? Hi, sis.
Starting point is 00:14:28 How are you? Listen, I'm pissed right now. And I got to talk about, he's probably a friend of y'all's show, and I don't even care, Nipsey Hussle. Okay, what happened? Now, tell us. He called to talk about Nipsey Hussle, too. Okay. Yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:14:40 So, Nipsey, I'm sure y'all know Nipsey Hussle took this picture and he posted it on his Instagram. There's three things they pinpointed in his little caption that he didn't see within the picture. And he said he didn't see a black violent man. He didn't see a black man that was an abandoner. And he didn't see a black homosexual man. Now, the problem that I have with that is that he thinks putting that picture up there with all of those young men within that picture, it just reminds me of growing up where I didn't have anybody there to represent me. And he thinks it's a good thing that he, I don't know if he thinks that because you're homosexual, you can't shape and form the young mind of a black man. But there are a lot of successful black gay men out there in this world
Starting point is 00:15:21 that can definitely talk to young black men. I don't know if he thinks they would sitting there talking about sex to them, but there are a lot of successful black gay men who can shape, you know, the mind of young black men out there in this world. All right. I think he was trying to explain himself. So we're going to... Yeah, I saw his explanation.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I mean, I don't even know what the Nipsey Hussle situation is, but I mean, yeah, you're absolutely right when you say that black gay men can shape the minds of other black gay men. I mean, last time I checked when you say that black gay men can shape the minds of other black gay men. I mean, last time I checked, wasn't James Baldwin gay? Not only that, you don't even have to. It's not about black gay men shaping the minds of other black gay men. Other men, other people.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Yeah, they're shaping the minds of young black men, period. What the hell did I just say? You said other black gay men. Oh, I meant other black men, period. You know what the hell I meant, Trav. But, yeah. I mean, last time I checked, James Baldwin was gay, and I mean, I can't think of a more brilliant mind than him. Not only that,
Starting point is 00:16:09 you can have a Don Lemon talk to the young mind. You can have a Frank Ocean. We're not going to go from James Baldwin to Don Lemon, okay, but I understand what you're saying. Well, we'll get into it this morning, because a lot of people were very passionate about this topic. Thank you, Trav. And just to let Nipsey know, he's also the same person that a couple years ago,
Starting point is 00:16:27 he agreed with somebody on Instagram that black women are a disgrace to our culture. Nipsey, you're the last person to say to me, talking about who, and you're a crip. Boy, stop. I don't even know if half of this stuff is true. I haven't heard these things about Nipsey before. He posted this on his Instagram. He didn't say anything about women. No, no, I don't know about the women thing.
Starting point is 00:16:45 But all right. We'll get into that later. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way. All right. Well, since everybody's talking about Nipsey Hussle and what he had to say on social media,
Starting point is 00:16:54 let's get into that. All right. All that and more. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It ain't safe.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It ain't safe. It ain't safe. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, it ain't safe. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk The Weeknd. It's time.
Starting point is 00:17:15 She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, The Weeknd had been working with H&M. He did some collections with them in the past, and he did the whole Selected by The Weeknd, and he was very upset over the ad controversy with H&M where the young black
Starting point is 00:17:35 boy had on a Coolest Monkey in the Jungle hoodie. Now, he tweeted out, woke up this morning shocked and embarrassed by this photo. I'm deeply offended and will not be working with H&M anymore. So that's it. Once again H&M you have all these culturally
Starting point is 00:17:51 clueless people working for you clearly because somebody could have spotted that and told you that was going to be a problem but more importantly we can't. Don't give the money back. Alright drop H&M but please keep the check. Alright. Did he say he was giving the money back? I don't know. I'm just throwing it out there just in case. Don't give the money back.
Starting point is 00:18:08 If they ask for the money back, like, nope. Alright, now Joey Badass has joined Tidal. He's going to be doing a new podcast. He said, I have a podcast called 47 Minutes coming to Tidal real soon. Retweet if you'll tune in to hear me talk about ish from hip-hop, politics, spirituality, and whatever the F else I
Starting point is 00:18:24 want. So, wouldn't be mad at that at all. Salute to Joey Badass. I like that guy, man. He put out a real dope album last year. Yes. And speaking about putting out dope music and other products, Cat Williams is doing a stand-up, and it's called Great America, and that's going to be on Netflix on January 16th.
Starting point is 00:18:42 That's from his tour that he did last year. Here is a little snippet. Riots used to be some black s***. White people, let me just say, y'all are terrible at it. No damage at all. White people just out there shaking their signs hard. Trump said
Starting point is 00:19:00 the leaks are real, but the news is fake. That's like the police pull you over, you tell them the blunt ain't real, but the smoke is. Netflix has really cornered the market on comedy specials. They've been doing their thing with comedy specials. I want to see that. I'm here for the Cat Williams comedy special. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Even though he calls me Charlemagne the dog, but I'm still here for it. He still does that? I haven't heard him do it in a while, but I'm here for it. Well, it's January 16th. All right, now let's get into what a lot of people were calling up about this morning. It's a black man on Twitter called and Trav called in and they were mad about these comments by Nipsey
Starting point is 00:19:32 Hussle. Now, Nipsey Hussle posted a picture and it's a, you know, a whole group of young black men in a room and he said, demonstration speaks louder than conversation. They're going to feed us every image of our men and boys, but this one, no hyper-violent, no homosexual, no abandoners, just strong black men and young men. Respect to my big homie for leading with love and intelligence. God is with us who can go against us. All right. Well,
Starting point is 00:19:56 this caused a firestorm and he was going back and forth with DeRay. He said, I ain't got to be politically correct because I ain't standing on nobody else's platform. I believe in love and acceptance, but you ain't going to piss on my head and tell me it's raining. None. I see what's going on. Y'all should sue. Victory lap, February 16th, 2018. You mean DeRay McKesson, the activist? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Now, that's who he was going back and forth with because basically DeRay said you listed three qualities as equally negative. Violent, gay, and abandoner. And as the opposite of strong, what made you assume everyone in the picture was straight? Are you saying that to be against homophobia is to succumb to the mainstream media? Now, Nipsey responded, I listed three qualities overrepresented in the mainstream media's narrative of what a black man is. Point out the first lie. I never assumed they were all straight. I noted that they weren't being framed by the media as gay and I have no opinion about what a person's
Starting point is 00:20:48 sexual preference is. That's the guy given right and I'm not God. Now if we can't agree that life imitates art and the balanced representation of our people is important then we will agree to disagree and wish each other the best. Well both sides the LGBT community and Nipsey are essentially saying the same
Starting point is 00:21:04 thing. Don't stereotype us. Nipsey is saying the media often over-represents these stereotypical images of black men, super thugs, super gay, super deadbeat, and the gay men are telling Nipsey, don't stereotype us because a lot of us look just like the guys posted in that picture. So they're both essentially saying the same thing. Don't stereotype us.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Now DeRay responded, I've never thought that gay black men were over-represented in the media, but their original point is that gay is not a bad thing, not synonymous with a violent abandoner and not the opposite of strong. So, you know, Nipsey was just trying to point out that he does not look down on gay people at all. He loves all God's children. All right. So that is just the synopsis of what happened in case you missed it. I'm Angela Yee.
Starting point is 00:21:41 And that is your rumor report. All right. Now, when we come back, we have the cast of Den of Thieves in the building. 50 Cent, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Gerard Butler, and Pablo Schreiner. Did I say it? Schreiber. Speaking of stereotyping gays, we need to find
Starting point is 00:21:55 out why 50 is always trying to stereotype Puffy as a gay man. Alright, we need to get to the bottom of this, god damn it. My goodness. Alright, when we come back, keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special
Starting point is 00:22:11 guests in the building. And you know, 50 always up to something. I'm here, baby. The cast of Dent of Thieves. Yeah, yeah. 50 Cent, O.J. Jackson, Junior. Gerard Butler. He's a junior. Junior. And Pablo Shriver. Pornstache! I just realized that's pornstache. Pablo just fart. He's a junior. Junior. And Pablo Shriver. Porn stash. I just realized that's porn stash.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Pablo just farted, by the way. I get it sometimes. You don't wear it in real life? I don't bring it. I don't travel with it. Now, tell us about this flick, Den of Thieves. Oh, man, it's action packed. You're going to see a different version of Gerard Butler.
Starting point is 00:22:45 You've never seen this version. It's a whole new character, a whole new energy. It's a bad man. Bad man. So you're a corrupt police officer. Yeah. I guess if you're saying it, I wouldn't call myself a corrupt police officer.
Starting point is 00:22:59 I'm just doing my job. But I like this bad man. I think that's the cool thing about it is you, you know, there's no real good or bad in this. You know, you kind of follow the bad guys as much as you do the good guys. You know, you kind of get both sides of the story. So, yeah, you see the impact that living the life that we do takes on us. And I definitely, I'm living a pretty dark, dark life.
Starting point is 00:23:22 What kind of research did you do on cops in America to do that? Because, you know, cops can be real crooked here. Well, we just hung out with a lot of cops. We hung out with Sheriff's Department, caught some detectives, sat with them, went through the stories, went on the road with them, and, you know, just kind of heard where they were coming from, see some of the cases they've had to deal with, you know, the kind of impact it has on their lives.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yeah, exactly where they have to go. Talking about when the cases they've had to deal with, the kind of impact it has on their lives. Yeah, exactly. Where they have to go. Talking about when they're dealing with some dodgy characters. When you're dealing with the worst kind of people, then sometimes you've got to be as bad as them if you want to win. And that's what this movie is about. It's about two different tribes that want to win and they're
Starting point is 00:23:59 both willing to go do what it takes to get there. Now with the iconic movie 300, right, iconic movie, what made you want to work with hip-hop royalty and hip-hop legends over there? Did you listen to 50 Cent's music before? Of course he did. Did he? Of course he did.
Starting point is 00:24:14 A madness. Besides, I get money. I get money. I love 50. No, I do. Yeah, I do. I mean, and I've actually, you know, I've worked with Ludacris, I've worked with Jamie Foxx. This is the coolest part of hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:24:29 But I'm always on the rise, and finally I've got to work with 50. This is it, baby. I have made... No, it's... Listen, to be honest, to get these guys in the movie, it's been awesome. I think people are way more excited about him
Starting point is 00:24:43 being in the movie than me, so I'm... I'll take it all the way to the bank. This is not true. This is not quite true. They are really excited about you being in the movie. I'm excited to be there. I'll put it this way. Nobody at the Source hosted screening tonight is coming for Gerard Buck. 300 was big in hip-hop, though.
Starting point is 00:25:05 They may not know the name, but when they see, like, oh, that's dude from 300. What's your name? Oh, yeah, you're that dude from 300. I can't come in the hole. It certifies things. They look and go, okay, see you, Gerard. They was asking
Starting point is 00:25:21 questions early on, like, when you gonna get Gerard on power? I was like, chill, I gotta get the money first.ard on power I was like chill I gotta get the money first they start jumping ahead of the I gotta have the money to make it make sense he was like what are you talking about let me see what it is first I gotta do it but I'm like you know how I am
Starting point is 00:25:37 if I ain't got the bag I don't really start the conversation especially if you respect the man the stars just gave you a bag got family to feed, everything else, so you come when the bag is there. Stars just gave you the bag. The bag can always get bigger. That was just for me. I'm
Starting point is 00:25:53 recovering. I'm recovering, baby. Now you know, watch the bounce back now. You was down back. I was down. I said, get back. I was like, what, you was down. I said, get back. I was like, what's going on here? I don't feel like me right now.
Starting point is 00:26:09 You know? Do you feel like you could potentially rob a bank after filming a movie like this and learning how? Incriminate yourself. Go ahead. Yeah, I have all the tricks now. Watch out. The Federal Reserve better increase their security because me and 50 and O'Shea are coming after them. How do you know they didn't?
Starting point is 00:26:30 Usually the people who do rob banks rob them several times. Right. They were very nice, by the way, to give us all this credit. How do you know this? I just did a little research about this before. Because I always think that's interesting because it is giving away all the secrets of how to rob a bank because you have to make it as realistic as possible. Yeah, yeah, we tried to be very realistic.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Obviously, Christian Guttegast, our director, did a lot of research and the scenes that take place inside the Federal Reserve are thoroughly researched and it looks amazing. It looks just like the real location. But, you know, you gotta hope that
Starting point is 00:27:01 a place like the Federal Reserve kept some secrets to themselves. I went to the Federal Reserve and and I got to say, there is no f***ing Robin that bank. Anything's possible. But do they throw $30 million in cash away a day? Is that true? Trillion. I don't know how much they do a day, but that particular one in L.A. has literally trillions of dollars in it at any one time. They shred all the old bills, 30 million a day.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Oh, yeah, at least 30 million a day. Oh, my goodness. It's very frustrating to be there when that happens. What are you going to do with this? It just passes a few hundred thousand. This is your first role since Great Outta Compton? No, no, no. This is my third one.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Third. Yeah, I did Ingrid Goes West, Indy, but this one, this is another blockbuster. But you told my Indy got picked up because you always make that seem like it's small. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, Ingrid Goes West, I ended up getting top ten performances at Sundance for that. And, you know, that's a big deal with my family. Sundance don't really, you know, be knocking on the Cube family door all the time. So you had one up on five.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Oh, no. Please. He brought me life. It's hard to get that one up. Why'd you choose Vinny D? Look at the names on the list. You know, I know I needed, when you go indie after something like Straight Outta Compton, you know, I needed another good uppercut to this combo.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And, you know, this is a, you know, this is a action-packed movie. It lets me show my range as an actor, you know, besides rapping and, you know, dancing on stage and all that. So it allowed me to show a different level of my skills. And, you know, I got, you see the group I'm with, it just seemed like a home run, so why not take it? The part two, the lighter skinned ice cube, it's gonna
Starting point is 00:28:51 be bigger. Come on now. Take it easy. That's a lot of pressure right there. I'm just trying to be the iPhone 2. It's gonna be bigger, so I'm to a great start. This is a rocket here. But daddy had the music, too, though. I remember when he was on OMG.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Oh, now I got something coming for you. He got some stuff, yeah. But don't worry. My Uncle Halftime got me. He got it. All right, we got more of the cast identities. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have the cast of Den of Thieves, a new movie in the building, 50 Cent, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Gerard Butler,
Starting point is 00:29:36 and Pablo Schreiber. Yee. So, 50, would you be against playing the cop role in this movie, or you feel like you gotta be the bad guy? I like the bad guy. Like the bad guy? Look, i read this script i read this six six years ago i don't mind being typecast i'm a rapper
Starting point is 00:29:49 the whole energy like you know getting it together Pablo got so into it while we was training he was like Evan Jones, cheddar ball he was like cause he was having cheddar ball moments while we was doing the training
Starting point is 00:30:19 it was ill he had us doing a lot of drills and a lot of stuff that became first nature for us. Like, by the time we got done in the first two weeks, we was doing it in a different setting. We wasn't in the trees. It wasn't, it was an urban setting. But to get it right, we worked through the process.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Gerard, do you know who Cheddar Bob is? No. Okay. Was that impressive? I don't know 90% of what he said, so I just went with it. He did not, yes. It was with our crew, though. That's right.
Starting point is 00:30:49 He was our crew, so he wasn't in a lot of scenes with. Was there any pressure with him, though? Because since he's such an established actor, like, you know, I got to make sure
Starting point is 00:30:55 I don't look bad at all. I come like that all the time. Every day. Especially when, because I did with Righteous Kill with Pacino and De Niro. Since then, I got De Niro to do freelancers with me.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And that was like a passion project. So, like, because it was my, I starred in it and he was, support him and Forrest Whitaker. Following that project, I really didn't really feel pressure like that until, like, when you get a chance to look back at all the performances. Because Gerard got a lot of scenes away from me. And I watch it and I'm like, and I don't hear the accent. And I don't hear any of the stuff that you see right now. You're not going to see this in the movie because it's a whole other thing that he built. And it's what makes it exciting for me.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I know when people see it, it's going to blow them away. And a lot of the, in the movie, I have a lot of one-on-one with Gerard. So, you know, me being the new dude Oh, you know it was uh, you know, of course that pressures there, but it's more like Butterflies one-on-one Where you know the police Have me and they're choking me out and you know draw being a professional that scene where, you know, the police have me, and they're choking me out. And, you know, Gerard being the professional that he is, you know, he's not really trying to put it on me,
Starting point is 00:32:11 but I had to let him know, you know, I've been a little brother before. You can choke me out. It's fine. So, like, you know, we really got down in that scene. It's one of my favorite scenes in the movie. And, you know, I definitely felt the pressure, but did I not handle my own? You know, I got to say, I've made a lot of movies where I've had to beat the shit out of people. in the movie and uh you know i i definitely felt the pressure but did i not handle my own i i gotta say i've made a lot of movies where i've had to beat the people i have never had to beat the out of anybody as much as i did and he took it like a trooper like i mean i was very very impressed
Starting point is 00:32:39 and talking about earlier his performance he i would sit at times watching him doing his thing and it would blow me away. Really? Seriously, how brilliant. Every time he'd get something different, every time it would be totally believable and every time it would take me by surprise. And pretty much every scene I had with him,
Starting point is 00:33:00 I was smacking him, punching him, choking him. Yeah. Police procedure. He never complained. He just got on with it. But you ice cube stunned him. I'm sure you get hands put on you growing up by your daddy. I was choked out. He not Homer Simpson.
Starting point is 00:33:15 My daddy. But, you know, it's for the art. I went to college for cinema, you know, USC, fight on. So, like, you know, I went to college for cinema, you know, USC, fight on. So, like, you know, I'm a film student at heart. See, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Yeah, a lot of the times when, you know, you're making your short films for class or whatever, you ain't got necessarily the budget or whatever. You got to cheat some stuff. And I know a lot of the times you got to go for the scene if we want to get out of here. And so, you know, it's cool. So everybody thinks it's nepotism. They think you just popped up in the Straight Outta Compton movie because you choose something, but you actually put in that work. Yeah, I was at USC for two years before Straight Outta Compton
Starting point is 00:33:52 was even being, like, talked about as a serious film. Wow. And during my second year, he, you know, he was like, yo, you know, you want to do this. And from there, it's blown up into something like Den of Thieves where I feel passionate about it and I love the story. And now, you know, they might start taking your boy serious. Do people have a question if you could really act
Starting point is 00:34:14 simply because in the role of in the movie you played your father? Of course, but that's just them making it easy for me because your expectations are so low. Your dad didn't even want to give you that role. He didn't even want to give that to you. No, I had to work for two years for that and Den of Thieves for sure made me work as Donnie Wilson. I definitely had my
Starting point is 00:34:31 hard days and though I didn't complain in front of you, when I got in the car, I let y'all have it. I cried in the car. His problem is he doesn't shut up in between scenes. He goes on and he has an amazing mind and he just goes on in these streams of consciousness and we look around going is he talking to you who's actually talking to you
Starting point is 00:34:53 and we're trying to keep him intimidated every now and again one of us would just walk over and slap him in the face which he took very well and go hey this is supposed to be a scary scene you are supposed to be a scary scene and you'd finish and like literally he was about to drop dead
Starting point is 00:35:11 and he'd go hey anyway y'all what's going on I'm hungry man let's get some food did I ever tell you about the time I and we're like
Starting point is 00:35:17 really isn't having as much of an impact on him I'm a monster I'm a monster man now let's talk about this scene that I've seen that they released
Starting point is 00:35:24 now I'm a father of five Charlemagne's a father about this scene that I've seen that they released. Now, I'm a father of five. Charlamagne's a father of two girls. And this scene was real close to my heart. He said it. This scene was... Now, the reason I laugh about this scene, because I tell everybody all the time, when my daughter goes on her first date,
Starting point is 00:35:35 I'm really going to call 50 by the house. And I talk about this scene a little bit, Phil. I'm going to give them that look. They understand that I don't understand. Right. You know what I'm saying? I look at them and I go, look, I will do it, my man. Don't do this to yourself.
Starting point is 00:35:49 You know? But the scene was interesting because I got five kids in the actual film. I feel like I'm hiding myself in plain sight. You know what I mean? While my partner had been away for some time, locked up, we robbed things in the past, but his attitude got him incarcerated. He's not the kind of guy that leaves the people he came with. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Somebody else's mistake, you know, leads him to the joint. And then my daughter is 16 years old. It's a sweet 16. Sounds like Envy's family right here. Right. My daughter's 16. He's like, yo, that's my baby right there. I know what this movie's about.
Starting point is 00:36:26 You know what I'm saying? He's like, but that, that's the sweet 16 and her, her date is like a little football star and because he comes from,
Starting point is 00:36:35 you know, the, the Los Angeles, he got that, uh, power roof thing going on. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:36:41 I see it in his, uh, what did you put? Pocket square. Pocket square. You can pay for that now. And I'm looking like, because I know exactly what it is.
Starting point is 00:36:52 It's like, come here, let me talk to you for a minute. I'm just trying to say at the point that you see, I see that at 16, you know the difference when you start to not be so cool because your daddy. And then her social circle is daddy. And then, like, her social circle is growing. And she starts to,
Starting point is 00:37:08 you know, have her friends and follow on the trend of things that they're deciding to like. And at that point, I'm identifying with having to have that conversation with him instead of speaking to her. You know what I mean? Because there's a point that you gotta do that. You know, like, and then
Starting point is 00:37:23 this is me and you talking with him instead of her because she's going, I hate you and everything that we know that she would be feeling that she can't express to you at that point because she still sees you, like, when she was, like, eight.
Starting point is 00:37:39 You know what I'm saying? Like, all of that, you're just working past that. The same was good. It was so much to work, so many layers to it. You know, it came off pretty good. You just basically need a room full of big Hawaiians to walk through. That's the end of the story.
Starting point is 00:37:56 If you have a room full of big Hawaiians to walk your girlfriend's 16-year-old date into, then it'll all end happily. All right, we got more with the cast of Dinner Thieves when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We have the cast of Dinner Thieves in the building. Charlamagne?
Starting point is 00:38:16 Now, Phif, when you continuously call Puff gay, does that affect your relationships in Hollywood? No, I don't call him gay. I said... Let me read it. Let me read it, Fifth. Oh, my God. Sorry I can no longer
Starting point is 00:38:28 help you guys. Soon you will all be gay and happy. You are all now left under leadership of Puffy Daddy. Report to the nearest rainbow. Dinner Thieves
Starting point is 00:38:36 in theaters January 1st. Oh, that's funny. I was wondering if Dinner Thieves could talk to you. Yeah, that's a promo. He said gay and happy. No, no. I'm just saying that's why promo. He said gay and happy. No, no.
Starting point is 00:38:45 I'm just saying. You know what I'm saying? Jackson was like, that's why I invited the pup party. For no reason. Listen, listen. I'm only saying that because of the, what's the name of the interview? Nori. The Drake champs.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Yeah, yeah. And he go, when they do, when he do it, he says things, he doesn't even know what he's saying. It's like fruity. You know what I'm saying? He says something fabulous and he goes, yo, no, but me and you, we ain't party. Like, we need to party.
Starting point is 00:39:10 What is he talking about? What is he talking about? That's the kind of stuff when people say that to me, I get a little uncomfortable. I get uncomfortable. Like, he said something to me one time a long time ago at Chris Lighty's wedding. He told me he'd take me shopping.
Starting point is 00:39:26 I looked at him like, what the f***? What did you just say? Let me move, man, before I do something. You're going to make me mess up the wedding. Oh, that's a nice gesture. Let me get out. No, dude, you take me to that. Do what a guy says to a girl.
Starting point is 00:39:38 But you've been getting that over a decade. I remember when you said, the top feels so much better than the bottom. I've been saying this. I've been saying this. I've been saying this. Can we all go? Can I go? When you see, when you see, you see Jay, the kids put his head down like, why are we stuck here right now?
Starting point is 00:39:57 And the cameras is rolling. Everybody see, don't make like it's just me, man. Let me do some little fluffy stuff. Now you guys are all in some hip-hop beef, okay? Gerard ain't got nothing to do with this. What Puffy said about what he want to do with Fabulous, has nothing to do with this, Gerard. Gerard has no idea who Fabulous is.
Starting point is 00:40:18 How do you spell Fabulous, Gerard? Gerard, spell Fabulous. P-A-B-U-L-S. Gerard, spell Fabulous, Gerard. Spell Fabulous. Gerard. Gerard, spell fabulous. F-A-B-O. He said he was talking. Gerard, spell fabulous, Gerard. Spell fabulous. Do it. Well, it depends if you're talking about... F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S.
Starting point is 00:40:34 But does it ever affect your relationships in Hollywood? They're like fifth stop. No. Gay bashing. It doesn't. Because they know that I'm poking at what he's saying. And plus, I'm a rapper. Don't give me mogul, because when you get mogul, you get in trouble.
Starting point is 00:40:49 I kind of feel like people know what comes with 50. Like, they kind of know what comes with you. Right, because you've been very consistent. So you can't come to me and say, why did you say this when I've been saying this the entire time? Like, Google me. Yeah, Google me. 150 times I said that. Now, let me ask you guys this.
Starting point is 00:41:07 When you finish filming for the day, how long does it take to come down out of your character? Because I'm sure sometimes you get into character and you're probably feeling really angry and, you know, criminalistic. You're right into the drugs and the booze. So, as long as it takes to come down from what you were using. Hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Say that again. Hold on. You know, but a lot of the times, for sure, it is a difficult process, you know, because even when you go back to the hotel and you're reading the scenes for the next day, you know, you still got to stay in that mindset. So, you know, a lot of the times when i'm home from a film i need like a week or two to get it off me to get the the waking up early to be at set and and all those things like that to get that off and so it's probably until the next film until i got
Starting point is 00:41:59 rid of donnie you know until i got that that that off me so it's it's definitely a process it can't be exhausting, but everybody up here is a professional. When you go back to the hotel, do you go by yourself? Because I heard you smashing every chick in Hollywood. Hold on. That's the word. You know what?
Starting point is 00:42:13 This is an allegation. No, I heard this. All right, look. I heard you. You mean, bro. No, I heard that too. No, a lot of times if I got to get up early, you know I got to get up early.
Starting point is 00:42:22 I can't be going. I got to go by myself. He just smashes a couple. Gerard Butler said that. Well, the movie comes out January 19th and we appreciate you guys for joining us. I wanna know about Optimum Dropping Stars, man.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Yeah, yeah. I've been complaining about that for the past week. They're just renegotiating. They're trying to get it together before I start telling people to just switch. Okay, so we're getting it back. I have Optimum. I can't believe you. I was on the phone.
Starting point is 00:42:54 I called Optimum because I couldn't believe it. I actually have a cable box from Optimum. I call them and I'm like, I don't want this no more. Take this in the box. Wherever you want to put it, because it don't show me my TV show. And then I'm like, well, I'm on the phone for like 30 minutes almost to get there.

Man, I don't want to change. I'm going to tell everybody to move to DirecTV if they don't have to fix the deal. Put me on power, man. Put me on power, man. Put me on power, man.

Starting point is 00:44:32 I'm gonna go check it out. Well, when you got a loaded cast like that, the movie better deliver. Better what? Deliver. Oh, what'd I say? I don't know what you said.
Starting point is 00:44:40 I wasn't committed to that scene. You wasn't committed to it? I wasn't committed to it. I gave up right before I said deliver. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let wasn't committed to that. I wasn't committed to it. I gave up right before I said deliver. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk chloroceptic. Listen up.
Starting point is 00:44:49 It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report.
Starting point is 00:44:56 The Breakfast Club. Well, well, well. Eminem put out the chloroceptic remix yesterday. And this is the version that does have 2 Chainz on it. If you remember, 2 Chainz got left off of the original version that's on the Revival album. Here is 2 Chainz' part. In a fruit fight, I aim at your Adam's apple. Pull up in the candy car, eating a candy bar with my girl in the candy apple.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Yo, I line the ass up. I aim at that goose. All of these stones on my neck. They must have licked the Medusa. Parker, Rebusa, of course. I draw some rims to court. I've been to twins before. I had a bench before.
Starting point is 00:45:38 This is the sad report. This is the murder, murder, past the burner. Your money's shorter than the acronym. Big body when I'm backing in. Lottie Dottie got a bunch of bodies. Look at the human trafficking. All right. Also, Fresher, of course, because he's on the original, is also on the remixed. And here's Fresher's part. Where they shopping in reds, they steaming like chances. At Hollywood, they play for the Lakers. They're biting the lettuce. Cracks alligator, say hi to my haters. Bobby, my neighbor, we eat. That's a good loss of potatoes.
Starting point is 00:46:09 You might be different than Yale. If you don't think you're that good. Saga on T-Shirt's a gay-o. It's a-okay-o. Whipping a whip like it's mayo. Every track is a K-O. It's a K-O. Go off your head like a male.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Out of this world, so get niggas. Let's do some J-O. Don't be an a-hole. That's how I got shooters. That's you and I'm T-Shirt. All right, Fresher. Okay, Fresher. not mad at that. 2 Chainz snapped him.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Now, let's get into Eminem's verse. It looks like he's been paying attention Yet you keep coming back for more. Not as raw as I was. Walk on water, soft spit, suck my it. Y'all saw the track list and had it fit before you heard it, so you formed your verdict. While you sat with your arms crossed, did your little reaction videos and talked over songs. Now y'all saying I lost it. Your marbles are gone. But now
Starting point is 00:46:57 every flow, every cadence sound the same. Brings a powder keg. I draw inspiration out of hate. Well, Eminem absolutely smoked the Chloroceptic remix, but Walk on Water was whack. And the revival album is mid-grade. I like Walk on Water. No, you don't.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Yes, I do. I definitely like Walk on Water. You like Walk on Water, Envy? No, I don't really like Walk on Water. I mean, I like it. It wasn't for me. I thought that was just a radio record, but I did like Chloroceptic.
Starting point is 00:47:21 He killed Chloroceptic. He killed that. But art is subjective, though. Like, everything's not going to like... Just because you don't like something... everybody's not going to like everything, everything, but I thought Walk on Water was whack. I thought the Revival album was weak.
Starting point is 00:47:30 I do like the song with Alicia Keys, but Eminem absolutely smoked that Chloroceptor agreement. Now it looks like he's talking about Joe Button on the song in particular. Here's another Eminem part of Chloroceptor remix. How many more rappers did I go through? Dispelled out, but you won't admit I smoked and you were spellbound, hellbound in my snowsuit. But am I supposed to sound like everything else out? part of Chloroceptic Remix. old Slim's gonna spill out open fire on your whole camp with the spit I'll roast you. So chill out, no, you hoes couldn't roast me with the shit I wrote you.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Then I took a stand when it's hand-faced and practically cut my nigga's motherfucking face in half and still outsold you. You just called my shit trash. Thank God I rap better when the odds are stacked. Revival whack. I don't like the zombie track. And when he's talking that garbage psychotic crap, what's your content at? What's with all the conscious rap? Pink Beyonce, this and Kalani, that.
Starting point is 00:48:21 What did you say about Joe Button? No, I was gonna say, well, we talked about critiquing his album with his arms crossed, like you was talking about him on Everyday Struggle. But Bizarre and Joe Button had a back and forth on social media. And Bizarre said, make sure you keep that same energy at Joe Button. Don't get quiet now, effing clown. And this was. Why somebody got to be a clown because they critiquing music, though?
Starting point is 00:48:40 And then Bizarre said, it's a problem because you don't like the content. Where the jokes and what now? You shouldn't have dissed Em. Now you should apologize. Now Joere said, What? Joe didn't say that. And then, yes, he did. He did? And Bizarre said, Why is he disloyal bitch ass and where Joe Button talking is. We should never let you come around the squad.
Starting point is 00:49:07 We should have let Swift punch y'all ass when he had the chance. Why is he disloyal, though? Because he's critiquing music. Isn't that what you want? He said, never bite the hand that feeds you. I never like you anyway, chump. Come on, man. Man, my inward went crazy. How could I be down?
Starting point is 00:49:16 I remember that. See, y'all want a bunch of yes men around, y'all. Shouldn't you? If you had people in the studio with you that actually told you that the music sucked while you was doing to them, then you wouldn't have put out music that sucked. See, but it's the thing, though. What's the thing? And I kind of get it, right?
Starting point is 00:49:29 And I agree with you. If Joe wanted to say he didn't like the album or there was a problem with the album, he should have called him directly. Why? Because that's his guy. That's his sign to that guy. That's his man. That's his people. That's like if I don't like something that you do, right?
Starting point is 00:49:42 I'm going to call you later, Charlamagne. Or am I going to go? Or am I going to go? Or am I going to go? You're coming on the radio with it. Yeah, I would, though. Shut up. Okay, then. And so am I.
Starting point is 00:49:49 And guess what? Whether y'all like it or not, Joe Button is a media guy now. So when you're a media guy, you have to speak about things that are going on in the media. That's his guy. He should have called him first. No. That's his guy. He signed to Eminem.
Starting point is 00:50:00 I do feel like I have a conversation. Oh, God. That he signed to him. And that's why the industry sucks. No, that's not why the industry sucks. And that's why so much garbage to him. And that's why the industry sucks. No, that's not why the industry sucks. And that's why so much garbage comes out. And that's why your people got all these yes-men. No, the problem is that people have real relationships with people,
Starting point is 00:50:11 and sometimes ratings matter more to people than real relationships. I don't care about the relationships because I don't have any. And that's why. And you know why? Well, that's you. Because you have to be of the people or of the industry. And when you're of the people, you're going to always speak the way that regular people speak. There are certain people that you won't... I don't want to compromise my opinion.
Starting point is 00:50:25 There's certain people that you won't say bad things about, though, just because you've worked with them or they gave you an opportunity that you won't go in on and tell all the truth about. Who? Tell me who. I already know for a fact. Who are these people?
Starting point is 00:50:38 I would like to know. Who? Who? Wendy? You talking about Wendy? It can't be her. What, you talking about negative about Wendy? Yes, I have. He said he would. Haven't I? Not like you would if it was somebody else. Yes, I have. He said he would. Haven't I?
Starting point is 00:50:45 Not like you would if it was somebody else. Ooh, I need to know But anyway, I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. You gotta be of the industry or of the people. Because when you're
Starting point is 00:50:53 of the industry, you're gonna be like this, compromising yourself and your opinions for what? It's just music. It is. It's just music. But if that's your guy,
Starting point is 00:51:01 give your guy a call. Stop it. I mean, maybe you did. I don't know. Anyway. Nope. So, everybody. Who are you giving that donkey to?
Starting point is 00:51:08 Everyone who is attempting to label Genuine is transphobic. They need to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them, please. All right. We'll talk about this when we come back. Donkey of the Day is up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:51:19 You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
Starting point is 00:51:35 They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. This is a breakfast club, bitchy be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. The breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, January 9th goes to everyone who is attempting to label Genuine as transphobic
Starting point is 00:51:55 because he rejected the advances of celebrity Big Brother star India Willoughby. Now, I was reading an article on Pink News. The headline is CBB's India Willoughby branded a victim after being rejected by Genuine. Now, Pink News is based out of the UK, and one line in the article says, Speaking to the rapper, Willoughby asked, Would you go out with a transsexual woman? First of all, Pink News, every black musician in America is not a rapper. Okay, Genuine, along with Timbaland, is the architect of the fat white woman's national anthem, Pony. Drop one of the clues, Bonfrey.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Ginuwine, damn it. Okay, he is an R&B singer, and he will be respected as such. Knock it off. Now, back to the matter at hand. India Willoughby asked Ginuwine, would you go out with a transsexual woman? Honest question. Led to a nice, healthy conversation.
Starting point is 00:52:40 In fact, let's listen to some of the conversation and listen to where it went left. Let's throw to Celebrity Big Brother to hear what what happened would you go out with a transsexual woman i didn't i don't know personality for me is this i mean see for me this is this is the problem because i think i feel that a lot of guys would not go out with somebody like me even though i'm a woman because no i think that we live in such a binary world where people think there's two options of gay and straight Therefore I'm gay and I think that's why these conversations are important and then I believe it's your choice to like I would choose Not to like it doesn't make me like
Starting point is 00:53:19 Would go out with another woman Yes, of course, we would go with a trans woman no, I go out with another woman? You would go out with a woman? Yes, of course. But you wouldn't go out with a transsexual woman? No, no. I'm a woman, right? Forget about any tease or anything in front of it. I'm just a woman, okay? So on that score, you would date me, wouldn't you? Not if you told me you was trans. No, no, I'm not telling you I'm trans. I'm a woman. A woman, yeah. A woman, woman, woman, yeah. Go ahead, let's have a kiss. No. I think all the unspoken things that you can read into both those responses there illustrate my case 100%. Now, here's the thing. Ginuwine is getting all kinds of backlash, people calling him transphobic.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I don't think he was being transphobic at all. If a black woman says, I don't date white men, does it make her prejudiced? No. It means she has a preference. Hell, me, Charlemagne Tha God, I've been hit on by gay men and rejected their advances. Does that make me homophobic? No. It makes me married.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Now, I know what you're thinking. Well, if you weren't a married man, would you give a gay guy a shot? Probably not. Okay, we probably would still reject the advance. I just don't see what a man could say to me to get me up out of my boxer brief. Brief's okay, all right? I just haven't see what a man could say to me to get me up out of my boxer brief. Brief's okay, all right? I just haven't heard the right words, all right?
Starting point is 00:54:31 All right, a little slick-talking player hasn't pulled up on me with the right game yet to get me out of these size 34 fruit of the loom. So you're not counting it out, then? I'm married, sir. Now, the problem I have with this whole situation has nothing to do with India Willoughby being transsexual. In fact, I thought it was a healthy dialogue, and I think you should have those type of conversations with people who are different from you. That's actually what I live for.
Starting point is 00:54:48 But the problem I have is at the end of this clip, when India Willoughby tries to put her arms around Ginuwine and ask Ginuwine to give her a kiss. Let me hear just that part. You would date me, wouldn't you? Not if you told me you was trans. No, no, I'm not telling you I'm trans. I'm a woman.
Starting point is 00:55:03 A woman, yeah. You would date me then. Woman, woman, yeah. Go woman, woman, woman, yeah. Go ahead, let's have a kiss. Now, we are in the midst of a cultural revolution with Time's Up, Me Too. Women are rebelling against sexual assault, sexual harassment, unwanted sexual advances in the workplace now. What I saw in this video was a man and a woman at work having a conversation. And then the conversation took an inappropriate turn because
Starting point is 00:55:25 India will be made an unwanted sexual advance towards Genuine. Let's switch the roles. What would the conversation be if Genuine, mid-conversation, tried to put his arms around the woman, tried to kiss her, and then when he was rejected, tried to shame said woman and make the woman feel bad for rejecting
Starting point is 00:55:42 her? What if the optics were different, okay? I thought that's what we were trying to eliminate all across the board. Is that not the reason people are wearing black as a show of solidarity against that kind of behavior? I don't care what gender a person is. Right is right, wrong is wrong. You can't go around trying to kiss on whoever you want, whenever you want, regardless of what your gender is, period.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Was Ginuwine not being sexually harassed on TV? Was Ginuwine not being sexually assaulted on TV? Yes, he was. And if someone tries to hug you and kiss you and you don't want them to hug you and kiss you, you can reject their advances. And making someone believe they can't reject your advances because they will receive backlash,
Starting point is 00:56:18 then that is exactly why there is a Time's Up movement and a Me Too movement going on right now. Please give everyone mad at Ginuwine for rejecting India Willoughby's advances. The biggest hee-haw, please. I'm just saying, right is right, wrong is wrong. Right, you can't just try to kiss somebody or think somebody is forced to kiss you just because they want to prove a point. Just because of anything.
Starting point is 00:56:40 If I don't want to kiss you, don't kiss me. If I don't want you to touch me, don't touch me. Keep your hands to yourself. Keep your hands to yourself. Keep your mouth to yourself. Simple. I thought that's what this was all about. I thought what this Time's Up Me Too movement was all about. Period.
Starting point is 00:56:51 All right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, just questions. So, never mind. What? No, because he said nobody has slick-talked him out of those boxes yet. I like to look at things from all angles.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Okay? That's all I'm saying. All right. All right. So you like the top angle or the bottom angle? Maybe the back angle. I don't know. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:14 All right. All right. Everybody knock it off. All right. Got me sounding like popcorn drink champs. Okay. All right. Knock it off.
Starting point is 00:57:21 All right. All right. Now call Envy Daddy. Nope. When we come back. What is it? Is it Mac Daddy, right Now call and be daddy. Nope. When we come back, what is it? Is it Mac Daddy, right? Mac Daddy?
Starting point is 00:57:28 Anyway, when we come back, we're going to party. We're going to party. He ain't partied with me yet. He ain't partied with me yet. Take him shopping. Londell McMillan, the owner of The Sauce magazine,
Starting point is 00:57:40 will be joining us. The Breakfast Club is on the cover of The Sauce. We're going to talk to him, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club is on the cover of The Sauce. We're going to talk to him, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Well, I should say a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. Londell McMillan. Hey, happy new year.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Happy new year. Londell is the jack of all trades. He's an entertainment attorney, but he is the editor. No, you're not the editor-in-chief. You're the owner of the source. Yes. Oh, yeah. That's the difference.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Yes. That means I take out the trash. That means I pay the bills. Exactly. You know, I try to make sure I oversee editorial, try to build out digital, everything. Well, he's a friend of ours. As you can see, we are on the cover of the Source Power 30 issue. Oh, let's give him a hand for that.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Let's give him a hand for that. I don't care what nobody says. If you grew up in a certain era, the Source still means something. And to be on the cover of the Source still means something to me. It's a huge deal. We appreciate it. It's not only huge for the culture. You know, DJs and radio personalities are very, very important
Starting point is 00:58:42 and have always been very, very important. And I don't think they've ever really got their fair share of looks, right? And so for us, putting you guys on the cover was a statement that not only are y'all just been amazing for five consecutive years, number one,
Starting point is 00:58:58 four million listeners each and every day. Over 80 markets in 150 countries. It's not only really a credit to to you all it's not not about friendship you know it's about you guys just having amazing success and we congratulate you so we appreciate that thank you so much that means a lot to all of us because i would have never imagined like i said on twitter that i'd ever be on the cover of the source yes so it's not something I ever envisioned in my life.
Starting point is 00:59:26 But I do have to ask a question. Yes, yes. This quality is not the usual Source quality on the cover of this one right here. Who said that, though? Where do you get that? The logo is the same logo we always have on the logo. The picture is not the same. Look at this. Look at this quality picture.
Starting point is 00:59:39 And look at this quality picture. Let's look at the quality. You can see the difference. We tried to put a filter. We tried to put like a cool filter on it. Right. And it kind of just brought you a little into the orange land. So we wanted to do something cool.
Starting point is 00:59:53 But we also wanted to make it look like 1997. That's what I was going to ask. So in 1997, we made it closer to what it looks like in 97. So I saw little comments out there about, wow, this looks like yesterday. That was the intent. All you idiots. No, seriously, let's talk about that for a second. There were so many people on social media saying this looks like a 1990s throwback cover.
Starting point is 01:00:14 It says right there. At the top. Special edition throwback cover. We redid the firm source cover from 1997. Yes, 1997. Come on, man. I put a part in my hair for a reason that's why there's a part in my head i tried to match az's part yeah we can't that wasn't normally there yeah
Starting point is 01:00:30 it's not normally there but let me be as stupid as the people let me tell you something as a people and and and otherwise success brings critique that's a fact you know it's a beautiful thing it comes from low levels it comes from even the most high levels success brings critique it's all part of the game malcolm x said if you don't have no critics, you likely have no success. There you go. Now, what's the significance of the covers, man? Because this is Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, billionaires, and you got these guys. Barely making it.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Future billionaires. Barely making it. Future billionaires. Just scrapping pennies together. Like, why are these two on the cover? Well, one made a billion dollars. The other made billions of views. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:07 It's a billion dollar cover. No, no. But the significance is power in all respects, right? Again, starting with you guys. I mean, you know, this is, again, the fifth consecutive year. I take a lot of flack for acknowledging your work. But, you know, men lie., women lie, numbers don't lie. And the influence of what you all have done is amazing.
Starting point is 01:01:31 And it's not just you guys, but you guys represent the best of it as a collective team. I always come up here and talk about the importance of a team. You guys put your team together so they can have group and individual success. But there are other people, whether it's Greg Street in Atlanta, Bushman in Detroit, Bebe in Dallas. All of these people work and they get up every day. You know, you've got people here in this market, obviously, who also, you know, put in their work. But you all have represented the best of it. And I wanted to acknowledge the radio DJs.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Respect to Dre and Jimmy Iovine. What can you say? Right. What can you say about these guys? These guys have done it and reinvented themselves in multiple ways. The defiant ones. The defiant ones became the giant ones. And interestingly enough, Jimmy Iovine announced it.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Well, he didn't announce it yet, but they did announce in Billboard that he's going to be stepping away, stepping down from Apple. Yes. Later on this year. Now, what the hell does that mean? They said his shares are fully vested, so you can finally cash out, basically? Well, yeah, basically, you know, when you do a major acquisition such as the one that Apple made of Beats, typically you add in a clause and a covenant for the key executives to remain a part of the company for a period of time so they can continue the success of the company.
Starting point is 01:02:45 If you buy a major company and you cut off the executive team, you lose a lot of institutional business knowledge. Right. And so there are agreements that they had to have in place to allow them to stay. But Jimmy kind of alludes to what his future may be and what inspires him, as well as Dre. And I think it's a very powerful conversation between he and I in terms of what power is. My first question was, what is power to you? He says, well, I think it's not about power. It's more about just being great. And if you're great, you have power. No matter where you work, what you do, if you go into a situation with someone with more power,
Starting point is 01:03:25 but you're great at what you do, then you have to be respected. They're going to respect you because if they don't, someone else will. All right, we have more with Londell McMillan when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. We have the owner of The Sauce, Londell McMillan, in the building. Charlamagne?
Starting point is 01:03:44 Now, what did Hov mean on 444 when he said, Londell McMillan, in the building. Charlamagne? Now, what did Hove mean on 444 when he said, Londell McMillan must be colorblind? You have to ask Hove about what he meant. I would only be speculating on what would make a wise man who's an incredible artist, who's known me probably 35, 40 years.
Starting point is 01:04:00 We grew up in a similar neighborhood. What he would make something about being colorblind would mean when I've been like an activist and a community organizer and a civil rights, human rights leader and advocate and champion for artists
Starting point is 01:04:15 in this culture longer than anybody I know. Will you handle Prince's estate? Yeah, I think Hov was upset over, I guess, the handling of Prince's estate because the line after that, the guy had slave written on his face. Do you think he wanted his masters with his masters? Well, again, you have to ask Ho because I was the guy who got slave off his face. Prince hired me to get him out of the contract with Warner Brothers.
Starting point is 01:04:40 And he called me the emancipator. And I asked Prince when I first met him, how do we get that slave off your face? Prince said, you get me free. I'll take slave off my face. By the way, he never used to look at people directly in the eye. He didn't know well. And then he looked me in the eye and said,
Starting point is 01:04:59 you get me free. I'll take slave off my face. So then I said to my brother, I said, because I'm 26 years old, I'm nothing to lose from the street. I said, freedom's not free. You think Harriet Tubman's Journal of Truth, Frederick Douglass just woke up one day and said they weren't free? We're going to have to fight for freedom.
Starting point is 01:05:18 He says, I'm ready to fight. We went and we were successful. I went from his lawyer to his manager to his partner. You know, the facts are clear. We had a historic relationship. The legacy is just unprecedented. The things we achieve,
Starting point is 01:05:35 everyone who knows the business acknowledges. So you have to ask him about that. You know, again, he's making an album. Clever lyrics. But factually, it didn't have the merit. But, you know, again, he's making an album. It's clever lyrics. But factually, it didn't have the merit. But, you know, again, I knew that brother for a long time.
Starting point is 01:05:55 And I've refrained from being critical of him for a long time. Y'all from the same hood. Marcy. Well, Marcy. He's from Marcy. I'm Tompkins next door. Sumner's right behind it. We're all back to back. Same junior high school.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Same junior high school. And you know, I'm so happy for his success. So, you know, they got this thing called family feud. When the family feuds, nobody wins. In many respects, we have to see ourselves as a family.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Particularly when you know each other. You know, he's got children. He even came to my daughter's baby shower back in the day. We know each other. We're not best of friends by any stretch. But when the family fused, nobody wins. Me taking shots at Jay back would have been something that would have just continued to rumble.
Starting point is 01:06:40 And I think we got to show conflict resolution better than that. Have y'all spoke since then? Did y'all speak at all? Because, I mean, he even said that, you know, that he was upset because y'all sold tickets to walk through Prince's house. Did you have anything to do with that? Well, yeah, I actually advised. First of all, I wasn't the lawyer. I was the business manager of the estate at that time.
Starting point is 01:07:00 OK, I now manage half of the heirs of the estate. But anyone that knew Prince really knew that Prince left instructions to leave Paisley Park as a museum. He left instructions to at least 20, 30 people. So that was a fact. I mean, in fact, he started writing out the plans for that. So everything was what he explicitly said he wanted done. With respect to Paisley Park. Regrettably, he didn't leave a will because that way it would have ended a lot of conversations.
Starting point is 01:07:28 You know, again, you gotta ask Jay what he meant and ask the people who probably advised Jay. I believe Jay probably was getting misinformation and information because Jay usually doesn't get pressed by things like that from what I've seen in my dealings with him. He's usually a
Starting point is 01:07:44 very cool guy. And, you know, again, I wanted to keep any beefs directly. But if he wants to talk about it privately or publicly, you want to come up here and talk about it, we can have that conversation. Was there a state suing title at one time? Yeah. Now, why was that? Because we all seen Prince Witt hold and I thought he wanted his music to title. And then when he passed, it was that? Because we all seen Prince with Hov, and I thought he wanted his music through Tidal,
Starting point is 01:08:05 and then when he passed, they were suing him. It's my understanding, and I haven't seen all the agreements, my understanding that Prince made a deal with him, a deal for a couple of albums. But not for his whole entire catalog. But not for the entire catalog, to my knowledge, but that was the estate. You got to ask the state lawyers and his lawyers.
Starting point is 01:08:21 I think perhaps what happened is some suggested that because there was a lawsuit, that my hands and fingerprints were all on that. But again, you have to ask him. But I can just tell you this. If anybody leaves their family in the state, you should want somebody like me making sure that we are protecting it and monetizing it so your family doesn't lose it, right? We created almost $100 million. The same kid who went to junior high school with him created almost $100 million in less than nine months so that the IRS don't back up a big yellow truck to the purple building and take his assets. Who does, who does that? You know, so when people talk about
Starting point is 01:09:05 seeing green in the purple eyes, me being able to generate revenue, make money, that's a great thing. Because typically when I came into the business, they said you had to go to the white lawyers in order to make money and get deals. So when I make money for my clients, that should be celebrated.
Starting point is 01:09:21 That shouldn't be, you know, ridiculed. What are your thoughts about Russell Simmons? Because I'm sure you know him. I love Russell Simmons. And everything that's happening with him, having to step away from his businesses. Well, I think that when things come up from many, many years ago, I think that, you know, you've got to look at, first of all, what happened. And people have to take responsibility.
Starting point is 01:09:45 So for him stepping down and taking responsibility, I think it was the right thing for him to do. It's interesting that, you know, one of the people who claimed that he did something, did something wrong, was a client and a very close friend of mine as well. But at the same time, people make mistakes. They have to learn from it. The time is up for those mistakes. And people have to be responsible.
Starting point is 01:10:06 I think Russell may be one of many, many people in power, and that goes back to the Power 30 issue. We got a big story on that, on what's the reasonable standard, legal standard and just social standard on how you deal with each other. That's a big story in that.
Starting point is 01:10:21 A big, big story. How do you deal with it, though? Because, I mean, legally, there's nothing Russell can do to prove he didn't do it. He says he didn't do anything. And in the court of public opinion, there's nothing he can do to prove he didn't do it either.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Well, the way lawsuits work is that the plaintiff has to bring the first set of complaints. They have to start, and then you have to rebut that with an answer. So, depending on what these people may bring will determine how he responds. set of complaints. They have to start and then you have to rebut that with an answer. So depending on what these people may bring will determine how he responds. But I'm not in his case and I'm not a sexual harassment lawyer. But I think that these things are going to work themselves
Starting point is 01:10:56 out. And I think that this is a very powerful and important cultural moment. I'm very glad that is here. You know, I have a daughter. and even if I didn't, right is right and putting anybody in a situation where they feel trapped and beat down is inappropriate and I think that this is an amazing time but I do want to say
Starting point is 01:11:18 that there were so many others that actually abused the power and we need to did you see what Oprah said? Let's give a shout out There were so many others that actually abused the power. And we need to. Did you see what Oprah said? Let's give a shout out. Let's give a hand to Oprah.
Starting point is 01:11:31 What she did was amazing. And I just think not only is she right, but I think what the sisters did with the Women's March right after Trump was elected, you know, and we give a shout out to Tameka Mallory, Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, Janae Ingram, and all of the women who put in that work. It's just the right time to say enough is enough, and it's been time for enough is enough. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Londell. Thank you to everybody at the source. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Thank you, Terry. Thank you for everybody that's on the cover. We definitely appreciate that. You got it. And pick up the source right now. It's on your newsstands. And thank you again for joining us. Thank you to everybody. Thank you. We definitely appreciate that. You got it. The source right now. It's on your newsstands. And thank you again for joining us. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:12:09 It's always a pleasure. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Londell McMillan. God bless. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Joe Button. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Joe Button. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:12:32 So listen up. Well, we talked this morning about Joe Button versus Bizarre. They had a back and forth, and that's Bizarre from D12. And this is all over Joe Button trashing Eminem's album Revival. Monat 50 Cent has posted a picture of Joe Button and said, that was a bad idea. Look, you got a little ass whooping coming. It's not a big deal.
Starting point is 01:12:51 You will get over it. Hashtag den of thieves, January 19th. I know Eminem is your guy, but if anyone should understand critique of other people's art, it's 50 Cent. Okay? Come on. Who doesn't 50 Cent get at when he needs to get at somebody about their music or their clothes or whatever? Why are we acting like Joe
Starting point is 01:13:08 Budden said something personal about Eminem? And when he does, everybody's mad at him. Okay. I'm just saying, if music is whack, it's whack. M-album was mid-grade. Walk on Water was whack to some people. I don't see the problem. And this is exactly why you have to be of the people and not of the industry. Because when you're of the industry, they feel
Starting point is 01:13:24 like you can't critique their art. All right. Well, we'll talk more about that later. Now let's talk about Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. They could make $700 million with that Apple stock vest. They already got quite a bit of money. They got $400 million in stock back in 2014. But now they could be worth even more.
Starting point is 01:13:42 That's all because of a 19% average rise over three and a quarter years. Yeah, it's no joke, right? A drop on a clues bomb for Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Absolutely. Never forget 50 Cent once said F Jimmy Iovine. Yeah, he was upset about his headphones deal situation. Just saying. If I remember properly.
Starting point is 01:14:01 All right, Yo Gotti has previewed a snippet of Cardi B, a collaboration that he has with her. Now, he went on his Instagram Live to preview that single. We don't know what the name of the song is, but we put together just so you can hear some highlights of what he put on Instagram Live, so it's not too clear. Yeah, Cardi B got a lot of music out now, man.
Starting point is 01:14:40 She's working. That Bruno Mars song, though, man. I don't want to be petty, but do you think Nicki Minaj is mad your guy didn't call her for that feature? Nah, she already did break it up. She already did the first one.
Starting point is 01:14:48 She did the first one. They got a nice little track record going with features. I'm just saying. Nah, she did the first one. I don't know. You sure?
Starting point is 01:14:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You sure Nicki not feeling a little way? Nah. I don't think so. She did the first one. Is he going to be mad at her if she does a collaboration
Starting point is 01:15:01 with somebody else besides him? I mean, it is what it is. But they do those kind of records together, though. That sounds like the kind of record that traditionally Yo Gotti and Nicki Minaj have done together. But they got one on this album. They got Raking Up on this album already. I'm just throwing things out there.
Starting point is 01:15:14 I'm just throwing things against the petty wall, seeing what sticks. No, no, because everybody does collaborations, but other artists, you're not only obligated to work with one person. All right, now Kanye did something great. A user by the name of Debbie revealed what Kanye did. He did a good deed. She said, this girl in my town had cancer, and Kanye called her a couple of days ago to rap for her. I think Kim was there, too.
Starting point is 01:15:35 Wasn't even blasted on social media or anything. She passed yesterday. I have so much respect for him, though, making her happy in the last moments. Isn't that a beautiful thing? Drop one of those bombs for Kanye West. I think I'm ready for Kanye this year. I think I'm ready for a 2018 Yeezy season.
Starting point is 01:15:50 Right. Now, according to Debbie, she said that it was Kanye's fan site, Team Kanye Daily, that helped make that phone call possible. All right. LeVar Ball's big baller brand got an F rating from the Better Business Bureau. Now, they're saying that they received 32 formal complaints and 44 negative customer reviews with zero positive reviews. And they're saying that it's just the company doesn't offer refunds. One person said, I purchased two items and was told there would be a one to two week delay.
Starting point is 01:16:17 I've been waiting six weeks now. And when I asked why it was taking so long, I was called a small baller. Did you ever get your stuff that you ordered, Charlamagne? No, I still haven a small baller. Did you ever get your stuff that you ordered, Charlamagne? No, I still haven't gotten my slides. I definitely ordered a pair of big baller slides that I haven't received in a year. It'll come in soon. It's a small company. They're starting, so
Starting point is 01:16:36 give them a little leeway. They gotta respond to people, though. That's one of the main things. At least, like, respond and be like, listen, you know, your shipment will be there in six weeks. Sorry for the delay. You can't not respond. That's what they told me. They told me I wanted to be here in a couple weeks, so I ain't tripping. I want listen, you know, your shipment will be there in six weeks. Sorry for the delay. You can't not respond. That's what they told me. They told me it wanted to be in a couple weeks, so I ain't tripping. I want it, you know.
Starting point is 01:16:49 All right. Well, some people haven't been, I guess, getting any response. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, shout to Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Everybody else, let's start the mix off with that chloroceptic remix featuring Fresha and 2 Chainz. All right, we'll get that on now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine.
Starting point is 01:17:16 I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that?
