Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama

who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Get off your chest. How you doing? Two things. First thing, thank you for sending us a shout-out yesterday, but I only got one problem. I don't like wait on people when I pull up.

I don't like wait. You hit confirm, that means you're ready to go. Nah, it don't. It don't, because I'm that type of person. Because sometimes Uber say they'll be there in 10 minutes, and it take 15 minutes, and I don't be waiting outside. So if I'm staying at a hotel, I'm doing something, I usually wait till you outside and I start walking to you. Okay.

And last thing, I promise you, this is Charlemagne. Yes, sir. Okay, you know that fear we have when somebody pull up on the side of you on the car? Yes, sir. That's the fear I got. That's why I don't like waiting. A car be pulling up along beside you, that fear we got. Hey, you're talking about the anxiety, but I'm going to tell you something.

I couldn't be an Uber driver, bro. Dealing with all them strangers every day and random people jumping in and out, exchanging that different energy with different people all day. Lord, have mercy. Oh, man, it's a blessing, man. I love talking to people. I have 10,000 pickups, man. It's amazing.

Okay. I read that story the other day, and it gave me anxiety for all the Uber and Lyft drivers about the young lady who got killed, and she was begging for her life. She had four kids. Like, damn. Yeah. Y'all have a blessed morning, man. Yes, sir.

Get your things out there, brother. All right. All right. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

I just want to bring it to the attention of you gas station attendants Why would you tell them to put one amount in your car and put another amount? I told a gas station attendant to put $20 in my car, she put $40. What? A couple months ago, I told a gas station attendant, put $20 in my car, she filled it up. She put almost $60. And you know what? That's what you say.

It would make me mad because it's the language. It's the language. Nah, ma. That's what you got to say. Look, all I got is $20. This is all I have. This is what I asked you for. They got to give it to you.

It's on your card, though. Oh. It's on your card. So they already have your card. Oh. Right. So something has to be done. And I don't know if it's...

Usually, a lot of them don't speak the language. You're doing other things when that's happening. You're not paying no attention. Because you expect them to do what you ask them to do, correct? Well, I think since this has been happening to you a lot, just make sure that you extra pay attention now when you get gas. You don't ever want to act like Trump to people who don't speak the language. Yeah, if it happened a bunch of times, you got to start watching.

Yeah, but if you don't speak the language. That's never happened to me. You always say stop, bro. They get stopped. Stop. Everybody knows stop. Clearly not. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hi. never happened to me. You always say stop, bro. They get stopped. Stop! Everybody knows stop. Clearly not. Hello, who's this? Hello, hi. Oh my god.

I can't believe I got through. Good morning, Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you all for everything that you do. Oh my god. I just want to shout out all the U.S. Army veterans out there. I am a U.S. Army veteran. Part of mental health. I got out of the

Army, and after two years of fear and doubt, I launched my boutique, Sasha's House. The house is spelled H-A-U-S in German because that was my first duty station, and I launched it on Veterans Day last year. It hasn't been easy, but I'm finding joy through the process. And, you know, basically my sister and I, we just made the choice to live consciously and to face our goals and live intentionally. That's right. And so she also has a podcast.

It's called Incommensurable Podcast. It's pushing the idea that we all are unique and we have to think for ourselves always. And I just want to share with you. I'm so nervous, guys. You have no reason to be. I love your mission statement. And by the way, that's not an idea that we all are unique. We definitely all are unique.

None of our DNAs are the same. Absolutely. Absolutely. I want to share with you. Oh, your phone breaking up. Hold on a second, mama. Hello, who's this? Morning, this is Jerome.

Jerome, what's up? Good morning, man. Get off your chest. Good morning, Charlamagne. Peace, gang. Good morning. I don't know. I just remember a couple months back,

DJ Envy said, you don't know no brothers with no cats, man. With no what? Cats. Cats. Cats. Oh. Animals. Cats.

Cats. But yeah, I just wanted to let y'all know, I have two cats and a dog. And the names are Ike, Dina, and Turner. And you can follow them on Instagram right now. I love cats. I'd rather have a cat than have a dog. They're a lot more low

maintenance. Nah, a dog protects the crib. Yeah, and cats make sure you don't have bugs or rodents. Yeah, we grew up with cats in our house though. We had three cats and a dog. Nah, we never had no cats. We always had dogs. My wife had a cat growing up. There's nothing wrong with people who like cats.

My wife's parents. I just said I don't know anybody. If I say I don't know, I just don't know any men with cats. That's all I said. Yeah, I don't know no men with cats. What's wrong with being a man who has cats? Because honestly, they are low maintenance. They are low maintenance. You can leave a cat in the house for like three days and they'll be okay. Mike Tyson had a white tiger.

That's the closest person I know that had a cat. I don't know. Let's shout out to all the guys with cats out there. There you go. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. 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 got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We have Dr. Lakeisha Holman. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I've been so excited to get here.

Thank you. And before we start, I really want to tell you all congratulations on everything that you're doing. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. So you are the founder and CEO of The Village Market. I am headquartered in the amazing city of Atlanta. I founded The Village Market to accelerate black entrepreneurs in 2016. What is it exactly? The Village Market is a company that focuses on creating marketplaces, creating campaigns. And I also have a retail store at Punt City Market in Atlanta.

But the purpose is upward mobility. I believe that cooperative economics in a real way should be tangible like that of Tulsa. And that's what I've created with the Village Market. How did you get into that? What started you with that? You know, it's an interesting career. I was a teacher for years. I taught in the Mississippi Dells.

I'm from Mississippi. How much do teachers make? We just have this. Not enough. I mean, not enough, clearly. Not enough. But let me tell you, my first salary in 2004 was $27,000. Y'all, I thought I was rich, though.

I was only 22 years old, but when you understand that now, that's not even a livable wage. But I was teaching in Mississippi, Dallas, $27,000 a year. Now, of course, you can cross state lines. Texas does pretty well. Of course, New York does well. And California does extremely well. For teachers? For teachers. Oh, wow. But well compared Of course, New York does well. And California does extremely well. For teachers? For teachers.

Oh, wow. But well compared to what, though? If we're comparing it to Mississippi, then it looks like teachers are being paid. But I don't think teachers are paid enough. I love what you said about group economics being tangible. Isn't that up to us, though, to make it tangible? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. It's up to us. Everything is up to us, right?

So we have an urgency at this time. Either we're going to be the answer or we're going to be the problem. And tangible means that we can open businesses that's cooperative. That when I opened the Village Market, it wasn't just me. I'm the founder of that. But now I represent thousands of businesses in Atlanta, outside of Atlanta.

My retail store that I told you all about, the Village Retail, I gave over 40 businesses their first opportunity in mainstream real estate in Atlanta. So that's a cooperative retail store that's an incubator. So being on the shelves that people can actually shop from you. And so that's what it means for it to be tangible. I love accelerators. I have my own. I love incubators. I have my own. But there should be something

at the end of that. Again, I'm a former teacher. Experience is the best teacher. I want to put entrepreneurs in a place where you can be in front of your customer, where you can make some real money. Now, how can black businesses receive more funding for their businesses? I know it's very difficult a lot of times to get money and to raise money.

How can they do that? I'm going to name some people that's doing it. Yes. Tangible again. Collab Capital is based in Atlanta. New Voices Fund. I think they're based here in New York. Fearless Fund.

Arian is doing a great job. But these are three funds. And no, there's more funds out there. But these funds are being led by black folks. Is it easy to get the money? No, absolutely. It's not easy to get the money. Absolutely not. I mean, again, it's not easy to get the money. Absolutely not. I mean, again, it's not easy to get the money, but what has been easy for black folk?

You know, either if we know the odds are there, but it takes some fearless people who are persistent enough and who wants to agitate the system to make sure that we get the money that we need. I saw this stat and it kind of blew me away because when you think of Atlanta, you think that's like the black business mecca.

Right. But according to Prosperity Now, Atlanta's black businesses are valued at fifty eight thousand eighty five dollars compared to Latinx businesses at over four hundred and fifty thousand and white businesses at over six hundred and fifty thousand. That's crazy. I don't want to call that a gap. That's just. No, that no, that is is disrespectful the why yeah i mean because this country is built on capitalism so anytime that there is any time that there is wealth there is a desperation of poverty and that's be it atlanta be it mississippi be it in la you're going to always see this gap now what i do know that's true about atlanta if there is a city where black people can have upward mobility, Atlanta is the city for it. But when you see a

pervasive wealth gap like that, we can't stay in our bubble of saying that it is the black Mecca. It's the city that can't be the black Mecca. Because we also lead the country, one of the leading cities in a country that has the most black millionaires. And also the generating of black businesses are

now growing from that 50,000 to getting close to that 75,000, 100,000. But what that means, when you get to a place where you're making some real cash, it means you can hire folks. Now you also talk about, you know, I'm reading the same studies that said approximately 28 days money stays in the Asian communities,

19 days in Jewish communities, 17 days in white communities, and just six hours in black communities why is that I'm can we start with anything is that the reason why for commercial real estate yes right so when when these developers are coming into cities we're not controlling what's being open we don't own the land again if anytime there is wealth there is poverty but anytime there is when we're in a place of constant leasing and not owning, we have no true say so of what's going to be open in those communities. But the circulation of the dollar when we produced so many black millionaires, when so many black businesses were being funded, from

insurance to teachers to the dude that cut your lawn to the guy that shaped up your beard were all black folks. We were winning during that time and then bombs were dropped on us and this black city was burnt down and there was no way, even though there was insurance there, they wouldn't even grant their insurance claims.

So what happens in this country when black people began to accelerate, then literally the air is knocked out of us and we're pushed down farther than where we were before we started. So that is why that number is persistent. It was created to be that way. But we have to know that that number is there. But we can't wait on other

people to shop from us. There's enough black people in this country to shop from black people. But I do know that it's also amazing that other people are shop from us. There's enough black people in this country to shop from black people. But I do know that it's also amazing that other people are shopping from black folks too. All right. We got more with Dr. Lakeisha Holman. When we come back,

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 Dr. Lakeisha Holman. Charlamagne. You feel that black people supporting black businesses are growing oh absolutely I think it's growing um what is really shifting rather than growing is that our consciousness is shifting I think we're in a very special time I wrote a couple weeks ago that I believe that we're in our renaissance because when these things desperately bad, there's also something that's pervasively really good.

And you hear more people now not just talking about buying black, but you see entrepreneurs on the cover of magazines. When did that happen? Yeah, when did that happen? And we're talking about people getting their valuations. We're talking about companies being acquired. I look at what happened with the gathering

spot in Greenwood. Shout out to my friends Ryan and TK and what they did. That is black collaboration. But I think though we have to make sure that in our consciousness that buying black, hiring black, referring black is a part of our lifestyle.

And having grace. And the reason I say having grace is it's so funny. We talk about it all the time. How many times you go to McDonald's and they mess up your order or you go in order, the ice cream machine ain't working. But if you go to a black business and they mess up one time, you ready to go on Instagram and say, I'm never coming back. Like people have to understand there has to be a learning curve as well,

because this is new to a lot of us, especially when, when these businesses come. Yeah. I mean, you think of, and Grace is my word. So I'm happy you said that you see how big I smile. That's my word for the year. I think that's the, that's the word for our generation that we must have with black businesses. But we should have overall, even if you're a business or not, but just as the humanity of black people together. Now, what is Our Village United?

That's my nonprofit. Again, when you start a business, then you think of like five more. I started a lunch, Our Village United, actually in 2017, but I didn't get it going until the pandemic. When so many sole proprietors were were applying for PPP loans and didn't get it. It kept me up at night and I said, I need to create an incubator that's just for single operators, but a person that is just them. And so our village United focuses on a 12-week incubator. We graduated our 100 businesses since the pandemic about two, three weeks ago. But we provide full services for 12 weeks to entrepreneurs, and then they graduate into our incubator program,

which means you're part of the village now. But from CPA services, and we all know the tax season just ended, we make sure that they're front and center. We also make sure, one of the things that I experienced, especially as my company began to boom, my anxiety spiked. I found myself being more anxious than I ever experienced. And I made sure that our Village United was paired with mental health services. So every entrepreneur that's a part of the village

is then paired with dr joy beckwith shout out for her um who is our licensed therapist on on our staff who works with these entrepreneurs and focus groups and also one-on-one because i don't want us to have have the wealth without the health yeah sarah jakes roberts said uh because i asked her about that you know when how come whenever you achieve something new or go to a new level, your anxiety starts to go crazy? And she said, because you're experiencing something new. Absolutely. And that's just how I embrace it. Like, oh, like it's not because I feel like that's when this anxiety is expected.

You know, it's when the anxiety is not expected that caused you to have the panic attacks. But when you're trying something new, doing something new. Yeah, you should feel that way slightly. Yeah. And if you're the first one in your family, there's a lot of guilt around that. You're the person that got out. I'm from Mississippi. I'm one of the few people in my family, if not the only person, at least on my mother's side, who's deceased, who is doing the things that I'm doing. And there's a level of pressure to make sure that I'm looking out for my little cousins, that everywhere I go that I'm talking about Mississippi, I'm talking about Marks and Batesville and Crowder, Mississippi, and in very affirming ways.

Because I know right now I have the mic and the responsibility that when you have the mic, how you talk about your people, how you talk about your experiences. Now we see that you hooked up with Michael Jordan, Moran. Oh, yeah. Invested in the OVU. Tell us how you partnered with him. You know, that blew my mind. I personally think that Michael Jordan is the best basketball player to have ever played.

You'd be right. I think I'm right too. Y'all agree? Okay, so when the Jordan brand announced that they would be funding, I think, 13 organizations, we put our name in a hat. I didn't know what was going to happen, but I knew that my team is incredible. I know that we're

sharp. And so Michael Jordan, we found out last year that we were one of the 13 organizations in the country that is funded by Michael Jordan. And what they're doing, they get us money to do what we do well. They didn't ask us to change our programming.

It's what you asked me earlier. Like, you need the money to be able to scale. And the Jordan Foundation say, here's the money. Y'all go ahead and do what you're doing and make sure you stay true to your core values. What's some of the next business moves you got planned? Our partner, when you all visit Atlanta, make sure you stop by the Village Retail. But when you all come, right behind Ponce City Market is the Beltline. And that is currently 2 million people frequent this place.

Now, because of that, the surge in commercial rents have gone up. It is almost unaffordable to open a business there, especially if you're black. I partnered with Atlanta Beltline and the Candida Fund to open six more black businesses on the Beltline. So that is putting six businesses in front of two million annual customers. That averages about 350,000 people per month that they're going to be in front of. So we've got the funding to open these businesses,

to build them out fully, to get the new technical assistance support. And when you all visit Atlanta, hopefully in July, you'll be able to walk on the Beltline with your family, but also shop from Black businesses. Shout out to you. And shout out to Mississippi.

He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.

He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian.

Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests joining us this morning. We have Rashida and Kurt. Good morning. Good morning. How y'all feeling this morning? Bl have Rashida and Kirk. Good morning. Good morning. How y'all feeling this morning? Blast. I can't complain.

You want all the money, huh? Y'all show you want all the money. Whatever. Y'all show you want all the money. We knew we was coming here with y'all, so I was like, boy, you got to be on point. Before we get into Rashida, now, before you walked in here, Kirk, MV had some things that he wanted to ask you about because it's something he's been struggling with. And we see your hair flourishing. Oh oh he said they see your hair flourishing oh they got you

trying to get you already everybody say that you know what everybody like yo what kirk did to his hair i keep my hair cut low and when we fasted for this year last year right yeah i didn't cut my hair we didn't like we don't eat sweets. We don't eat junk. And I just, then I started doing all my green screens with hair and I can't change it for the season. And I'm like,

pull it. Kirk had that fresh lace part. But you can look at my hair. Okay, so that's all you. Come pull it. Because I'm in a new business helping guys like Envy. So when they're trying

to tell you, Envy, what's going on? Because you look fine. But yes, so congratulations on the new show Rashida everybody knows you for being an entrepreneur already but I think it's great to see the behind the scenes things and some of the um some of the advice that you can give people like the restaurant business yes that's a tough business to be in you know right so let's talk about that because you do have an episode and I saw Yandy and Mandisi were on there with you guys because they opened their restaurant. Yes. So

if you were going to tell somebody that wanted to get in the business, a lot of times people would discourage you from that one in particular. What would you tell somebody that's like, I have an idea. I really want to start this restaurant. What are some things you would say you need to do? Well, first off, I would tell them them try to learn every single aspect about the business because that business is extremely difficult. It's, you know, a lot of micromanaging. You know, the profit margins can be narrow. And, you know, I just feel like with the restaurant industry, it's so competitive. It's so many restaurants.

I would say, you know, have a concept. Have something that we need. Have something that you know that you can put out there that's a little bit different because it's every corner. Every time you turn around, it's somebody doing it. Every week I look up and somebody's, you know, got a new spot and doing something new.

So at the end of the day, I'll be honest with people because I'm super transparent and I'm like, listen, if you ain't going to be whole wholeheartedly into this, don't waste your time at all. Not one minute, because you will lose a lot of money and a lot of time doing this because it's not an easy game. What made you jump into the restaurant business? It was on our vision board. Yeah, it goes like one of the things we had to cross out. I really wanted like a Twin Peaks type of thing and kind of sports bar slash loungy type of vibe and i thought that it was like more lucrative i was thinking liquor

license a lot of money i was just thinking of the income not knowing the responsibility behind it so at this point when we got into it we had already bought the building purchased the building behind it build it out and once we got into, we had so much invested. It was like no turning back at this point. One other thing I would tell people about the restaurant industry is when you do get into it and you hire staff, you got to understand the importance of customer

service because those people are what people look at your business as. And that right there, if they plan, then people going every restaurant is bull that is whack you know what i'm saying and it's like that's super important so when you have a business that depends on other people to be on point you need to make sure that you're training your team properly and the first year i would say it was a little rough it's gotten a lot better people you know give you

praises and you know you can't please everybody but But at the end of the day, it's something to have and it's something good. But for us, too, it was the real estate like they're building. One of the largest developments in the United States is happening right on the corner. So it's a real it was a real estate play for us as well. It just wasn't the business. But we always try to put something in the real estate that we buy. So we're not spending our own money. How do you decide whether to lease or to buy? Honestly, we pretty much buy.

We lease in the malls because I have the Preston, the gallery in Houston, and then Preston in Atlanta and Phipps. So that's a lease, obviously, for those reasons. You know what I mean? But we normally like to purchase. I have another press location that is our own standalone building and it's on 14th street in midtown atlanta everybody um pull up but um that building we purchased and we try to do this thing now to where you know when

holidays and birthdays and all that stuff come around we'll do less of the well i won't say cars that's a whole nother conversation for y'all. But we try to purchase like real estate. You know, we normally try to do that for each other for, you know, anniversaries, birthdays and little fun stuff like that. The cars are winning nowadays. They appreciate it. There's nothing about a car. No, you really can't. I'm going to give you that.

I'm going to give you that. I'm going to give y'all that. And the Chanel bags too. The Chanel bags. It's a lot that's up right now, but it's a big difference. And the burkheads. I agree going to give you that. I'm going to give you that. I'm going to give y'all that. And the Chanel bags, too. The Chanel bags. It's a lot that's up right now, but it's a big difference. I agree. And the burqas. See, the difference is you can talk about the bags, but you're not going to get rid of them.

So it's not an investment. You can't sell. You're not going to get rid of them. That's not true. You're right about that. Because I normally get kind of like classics. So I'd be like, I ain't selling my bag. This is for

a long time and we have this discussion all the time we talk about the cars i mean like you he got 15 cars this is the thing i literally just said the other day somebody like coach k he wanted to grab one he grabbed my m3 and i got rid of another car and i took that money and just brought yours but i got rid of two of my cars. And like when we was buying a property, I was like, I'm not going in my savings. I got rid of another two of my cars. That's true. So I give him that.

I give him that. I ain't tripping. So the cars, you gotta give me credit. Y'all, you up right now. But when that thing go the other direction, then they start. They're never going down. And some of them.

Never. Either break even or depreciate. I'm gonna be in that ass. I think that'll never happen. I'm just letting you know. Now, what about firing people? How do you handle that? Wait, hold on.

You sold your M3? Your E30? Yeah. The right one? To coach. Oh, man. Six figures. Okay.

All right. Yeah. 34,000. Okay. Yeah, it makes sense. Okay. See, you can't be mad at that. I'm not. I'm not mad

85 I bought it late 1000 85,000 I paid 15,000 for my car yeah you got yours early see that was hella early

they been trying to buy it I'm gonna let it go soon but I love that car I drive it still I promise coach if I got rid of it I would let him get it now how do you fire people

fire their ass. Really? So, because that's hard. What? Okay. Go ahead. You say it. Okay. Most people eliminate they self.

It's usually a holiday coming up or it's hot outside and they got IG and they got an excuse and they say they was not feeling good, but then they on IG partying. Lit. Lit. Twerking. And, you know, they come with this excuse and we'd be like come on now you know yeah but but you know what the bad thing about being a celebrity owning a business right you fire somebody what's the first thing they're gonna say they're gonna search

social media oh of course well they do rashida fired me because kirk was looking at me that me oh lord well we haven't had that one but what i will say is like he is very true a lot of people eliminate themselves like we are strictly by the book we write you up three strikes you out you know no call no show it's over with for you like it's just the real deal and a lot of times you know nobody's really dedicated to the job industry right now you know we're we're in the great resignation there's 11.5 million jobs that people walked away from so it's a it's a different ball game now i will say this rashida is the one that's like them to them they say she's the mean one i'm the nice he's the nice guy and i'm bad cop he good cop so what i always do is when somebody's messing up i always tell tell her, look, they don't did

this, this and this. I like to try to keep a good face card. So I'd be like, just wait until they do the next thing. And then you got all three. But what I tell you, I'd be like, and that's going to be give her two weeks. And then they eliminate themselves. And then you don't have no problems because they know they messed up. They really set themselves up.

And everybody who's great workers, they're not going nowhere because we take care of them. Like any problems, any even, you know, things happen. If they come to us with an issue, we try to make sure we can help people. And, you know, just try to let them know we appreciate them because it's hard to find good workers. And, you know, make sure, you know, people good. This is what always happens, right, with our business. Then somebody does get fired and then they try to tell you everything that

everybody else is doing. It's the snitch game on 10. Everybody's covering for each other because they're hanging out and they're friends with each other. All right, we still got more with Rashida and Kirk. So 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're still kicking it with Kirk and Rashida. Now, Love & Hip Hop, you guys were on Love & Hip Hop, and your relationship was so open on there. You don't really see that too much with people actually making it through. If you look at some of these shows, how would you say that you guys have been able to make it through? Not just TV.

Like, any TV couple that have been going through anything, you don't see them make it. How long have you been married? 21 years. Okay. Together, 27. You and your wife have that's been going through anything, you don't see them make it. How long you been married? 21 years. Okay. Together, 27. You and your wife been through a lot of stuff, right? A lot of BS.

A lot of BS. All usually because of me, though. All usually because of me. Kirk, would you say it's all because of you? I've definitely had my share of messing up. But you know what? I won't just blame myself. It was a point in time where we kind of were tied

to each other you know we was thinking we were gonna go separate so i mean i feel like i've contributed the most that people seen you know but not true because the reason i said is it's on television so you know some things you're able to deal with privately yeah and it's hard everybody everybody got an instagram page. Somebody got to listen here. Any friend that think they know you, family member. They think they know you. Yes. So how do you deal with it? You know, it comes a point in time where, you know, you just got to like tune a lot of stuff out.

And it can be really, really difficult. Like when him and I went through our situations and stuff like that, like I really just had to like shut down, you know, because it's like, you know, with family, with friends, everybody has an opinion. And at the end of the day, it was between me and what God has for me in my life and in our relationship. And I had to realize that that was one of my biggest learning lessons during that time was just really understanding who I am and maneuvering and doing what I felt like was right, because a lot of people try to steer you in a direction that they want you to go in. First of all, a lot of people haven't even been in a 21 year marriage or ours will be 23, 22, 22, 22. Yeah. In December. So, you know, they don't understand the levels of the relationship. You know what I mean? But, you know, it's difficult just living your life out.

Everybody's seeing it. You know, people, they talk about things still like it just happened yesterday. It's been like six years. That has to be the most difficult thing because something that happened six, seven years ago that you dealt with. And then let's say you post a picture on your whatever social media. It never stops. And then you'll be cool one day and she'll be like, what? Right.

What did I do now? Exactly. How do you deal with that? Do y'all still talk about it? Oh, yeah. Or do you do this face and be like, I ain't messing with it today? You know what? Go ahead.

I was going to say something. Actually, yeah, you say it first. First thing I was going to say was we can laugh about a lot of stuff because there are certain comments that we will never forget. Like maybe about three or four years ago, we were at this restaurant, Houston's Eatin'. laugh about a lot of stuff because there's certain comments that we will never forget like maybe about three or four years ago we were at this restaurant Houston's Eatin and Kirk had did a video of his brownie

that he had for dessert and the girls was on there like I hope you choke and die on that brownie I hope that ice cream get caught in your throat you get a brain freeze and can't think no more but we can laugh at it, you know, now,

but, you know, back, you'd be like, damn, you want them to die? You want them to die? And then you know what?

When they do that, you end up being more defensive. Yeah. Because instead of you being like, yeah, I hope you do choke and die. You're like, okay,

now y'all, I don't want to kill him. Damn. It's like, wow. Yeah, those days, no,

that's it. Those days are like, they'll never go away. But I will say this and i i hate to just be honest about it me being and putting my relationship on broadway it changed the whole aspect of just relationships period like i had a lot of guys coming to me and be like yo you helped me save my marriage i went back home we got back together and you know we would even be doing rashida was still performing we would be at shows and it'd be like guys in Florida with the dreads coming at me and I'm like

I'm looking like what the heck did they like yo they come up and dab you up like yo I love you man you put it out there and it really made me really understand like dang our relationship really like helped a lot of people like it was like therapy it was like other people too you know what i mean how does that work with the business now because now y'all in business with each other i'm sure you think one way he think another way so who wins in that okay so we have always been in business together since the very beginning of time that's actually i think we were in business before we was even in a relationship. You know, he met you managed the group. Yes, I actually signed him.

Yeah, I was actually looking to sign my first group. So I had signed them as a group first. And time came around and somebody had said something about Rashida and something to me. And then we wound up liking each other years later. And there you go here. But I think we do a pretty good job. Like we have our days where, you know, we back and forth and we tussle

because everything that we have is a partnership. All of the clothing stores, the restaurants, the music, everything that we do. So, you know, we have our days, but we learned over the years that it's like, okay, shut it down and let's have us time. You mad about that? We'll get over that and let's have us time you mad about that we'll get over that and let's keep it moving so there's a couple how do y'all keep your money

is it everything together is it one pot okay you got your own wait first of all how y'all do y'all money i was one pot now there's one pot i don't got that but you know the reason is like i said i've been with gear since she was 15 i was 16 she was making more money than me when we started off and it's just always been one pot so can she spend whatever she want I can't spend whatever I want y'all have limitations right hey babe this car cost this much

we talk about it she wants to buy a bag hey babe this bag like we have conversations she sneaks everything in the house still to this day I don't. Let's just lay this thing out in front of everybody right now. No, let me say this. I'm going to tell you how the money go.

I'm going to confess. Ladies, do y'all sneak stuff in the house? Okay, yes we do. Let me tell you why I sometimes sneak. Because I have to hear a lecture about bro, I do fashion for a living. So I'm going to go get Fendi Saatchi. You think the

new release gonna come out and I'm not gonna have it? And she has to look a certain way because people look at her as, people look at Rashida, she's stylish and I'm gonna go to her store because she knows how to dress and so you mix up the high-low fashion. You gotta have the hot new things. It's all part

of her branding. Thank you. $5,000, $6,000. Shoes can be a couple thousand dollars. Right. You only wear it once. It's aspirational for what she does. Let's say he buys a car

and that costs $20,000. He could drive that car for years down the line. So you spend money on stuff that you wear once, one shot, and then it's gone. It goes in the back of your closet

and you never wear it again. You want to give it to friends or you resell it. Don't make as much money reselling. I do Rashida's closet at my store. It's business. And I sell it all for a low, but hold tight. Y'all got to keep it a thow out.

Them cars come with insurance. That's a reoccurring bill every month. So that's a headache because we have 15 or 20 insurance policies on cars. And you're one person. You don't drive half of those cars anyway. So I'm not tripping on that. But yes, I have to have my fashion and that's the reason why sometimes I

might sneak it in the house because I don't want to hear your mouth. So all our businesses have their own account. Me and Rashida have our personal account. Their own checking and savings. And all the money that comes in, we equally split down the middle. So when I buy my car, it's my money.

When she buy her clothes, it is her money. But when we know we about to buy a property, I just like us to be up on each other's level. So I ain't got to put more or she ain't got to put more. But if my savings is higher than his, he gets anxiety. So he don't look at his savings after all that? Of course. Yes. We have our own personal savings after all that? Of course. Yes. We have our own personal savings,

our own personal check-ins. I just can't let her beat me. I don't know why. He'll literally go sell a car if my savings is more than his. No, it's funny. I've always thought, people used to say, how does it feel if the lady, because sometimes people think Rashida is,

they look at Kirk and think Rashida is the one with the money. And I'm like, no, no, no. I invested my money into Rashida. I don't ever talk about it because it's all about, listen, we're a team. I understand she is the brand. Like, you can hate me and love her. It doesn't matter. The money comes into the house. I hate to say it, but you know, but at the end of the day,

if she's ahead of me, I don't like the feeling. So I really feel like the guys that used to talk about the woman that had more money, I guess that would have probably been me. So you feel that? When she has more money, you feel the way? Yeah, I've never had that happen before. So I don't like it.

So I'll just make sure I just keep my joint up. All right, well, don't move. We got more with Rashida and Kirk when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Kirk and Rashida. Yee? Rashida, now, we also saw that you were in the hospital. And was it dehydration? Yeah. So what was going on? Girl, look, I was having a regular day like this. Busy, going on about my business, running around.

So that evening, evening specifically we had called all of our kids and was like hey let's just meet up and have like some dinner together and all of a sudden all i know is i woke up on the floor we laid her out we were standing there talking to she like froze like we were talking and she was like and we was looking like are you joking are you gonna answer and then she just was like biting her teeth. And we was like, oh, it got real, real quick. And then I passed out. Yeah, we laid you down.

So anyway, long story short, they called the ambulance and all that. First of all, let me just throw this in the corner real quick. Everybody family need to take some type of course. Because when I tell you, ain't nobody know what to do. Yo, we was looking back at the footage. When I tell you, folks was going in different directions. My daughter's on the phone talking to 911.

She didn't hung up on them. You know they come in if you hang up on them. He's saying one thing. My son, he tripping. He's like, where's the keys? We're going to take her to the hospital. He didn't have the keys. I was looking for the keys.

Kai had the keys in his pocket because I'm like we about to go to the hospital so i'm looking for my car keys my son picked them up so we all going crazy then my oldest son he like give us some air blowing a mouth i'm like drinking water and he's talking about blowing my mouth it was it was a mess yo and i'm gonna be honest i hate to say this, but they were like blowing some trees. So I think everybody was like just in a different world. So it was like, OK, blowing her mouth. But on a serious note, it really was a big eye opener for me for real, because nothing like that has ever really happened to me before and by the time I got to the hospital and

they gave me fluids and he was like what do you do you know what do you do are you stressed I was like yeah I got like a hell of businesses and I'm trying to you know run an empire and be a mom and a wife and you know it's a lot and I was actually getting ready to start the Boss Moves show and

we were you know filming Love and Hip Hop and it was just a lot going on you Boss Moves show and we, you know, filming Love and Hip Hop. And it was just a lot going on, you know. And he's like, you know, you're you're you're really dehydrated. You're stressed out, you know. And it made me realize how real that is. And it changed my mindset as far as like making sure because we're so hands on with everything. It comes a point in time where you have to delegate and you just have to like sit down.

Absolutely. And that's what, you know, took us to making sure we take more time you know to like do stuff and to chill and to take out their time and just unplug social media unplug you know work unplug and just you know yeah part of us is taking care of yourself too it is because you can't be a good boss if you you know are dehydrated if you're exhausted if you're stressed out and all of those things that's so true and i learned i was gonna add to you she takes a pressure pill okay so i gotta have a pressure water out too and it does and but i all we drink is water we you know because we've pretty much don't drink juice and sodas and stuff like that so i'm a lot of times we're thinking we're drinking enough and a lot right and we're

not so that's another thing that we talk about on boss moves too as far as even just like the sea moss the elderberry and exercising and trying to take care of ourselves because as African Americans we got high blood pressure you know we got a lot of things that we deal with you know that we kind of push to the side and don't really take serious but believe me it can really really affect you yeah sometimes I forget to eat because you're working all day yes and you by the time it's like seven o'clock and now you're like damn i didn't even eat anything today because i've been so busy trying to handle and you have like a stupid migraine or you're starving yourself and that's not a good way to lose no weight neither eating at seven o'clock in the evening yeah i

mean but it's so busy like you'd be like oh i had a photo shoot i'm doing this i'm doing that and you didn't mean to not eat yeah and then you realize damn I didn't even eat anything yeah sometimes I have to choose between if I want to go to sleep or if I want to eat okay well when does the show come on when can they see the show okay so the show is out now it's available okay so you can watch short episodes on YouTube and that's Rashida Boss Moves and then the extended versions are on Philo and Philo's a streaming app. It has like 60 channels of like...

They're a little worse. But Envy, yes, property. So we are in the process of getting survey and topo on some land. And it took us like 17 years to get this damn 20 acres that we got. I'm leaning more towards trying to figure out to do a JV, which I don't want to build the subdivision ourself. I want to get with a developer and he come with the joints. Better do it.

We got the land and let's make this bag. So that's one of our newer ventures. It's just trying to figure out you know exactly what we want to do with that sell it if they come with the right check but i was looking at the big check the big check is the developing absolutely you know if you're on the building and they got to pay you tenants if you do tenants or if you sell the divisions either either or because we got a spot in jersey that's 90 it's 90 units and we got a 70 unit one and they do well really yeah that's good money see yeah they do really well but it's just you know we got a 70 unit one and they do well. Really? Yeah, that's good money.

See? See, yeah. They do really well. But it's just, you know, it's a lot of headaches. You gotta have a property manager, somebody who has a property.

You got real estate yet too? Yeah, I have three properties in Brooklyn. Oh. I just sold one in Detroit. I still have another one there. I just am closing next week on one upstate New York.

And then I have one in Miami that is not all the way built yet, but I already reserved it and put my down payment. We was just talking about Miami. Possibility. It's high right now. It's high? Miami's high right now.

I got it before that, though. Before, I see. I made it wait until that thing mellowed out. What about Detroit? I've heard y'all talk about Detroit a lot. So I have a hair store in Detroit. Okay. Private label extensions.

It's in Atlanta also. Yes, yes, yes. And so I have one in Detroit. And then I had three properties in Detroit. I sold two of store in Detroit. Okay. Private label extensions. It's in Atlanta also. Yes, yes, yes. And so I have one in Detroit. And then I had three properties in Detroit. I sold two of them and I kept one. But it did really well. Really? Yeah, Detroit did well.

We got in early though. I love Detroit though. We were picking it up for like $20,000 to $30,000. I was about to say, that was low, low, right? That was low, low. I got one for $1,000. Shut up.

But I will say, if I do something somewhere, I like to be involved in the community. That's why I like to do things in Detroit and be involved and make sure I know like the local politicians and business owners because I never want

to go somewhere and just buy something and flip it. Like I like to go places that I care about. I know that's right. Milwaukee is another good area. Milwaukee is good.

Milwaukee, you can find homes that aren't that expensive. It's cold, but you ain't going to live there. Hell no. No, I'm not. And Chicago.

Chicago's good too. Right where they're building the Barack Obama library. Oh really? Right around there. That's good too. That's where we've been picking up a lot of stuff. Well, I'm not. Chicago. Chicago's good, too. Right where they're building the Barack Obama library. Oh, really? Right around there. That's good, too. That's where we've been picking up a lot of stuff. Well, I love to see it.

And I love to see you guys weathered all kinds of storms. That's right. And to see how successful you are as a couple. Thank you. See my girl making her boss move. I'm trying. There you go. That's important for people to be able to see what you're doing.

I know your mom was an entrepreneur also. Yes. Yes. And so that's important for other people who look up to you to see that for your kids to see that yes i appreciate it and one thing i did want us to really be able to connect with with the show is just being real about like business and talking about because some people they show the glitzy glam sometimes cap of what's going on but don't show the nasty side right yeah don't show the nasty side or just be real or like we made so many mistakes which have built us but now we're in a situation to where we

can help other people and prevent them from making those mistakes or falling on their face you know it's good for you to fall on your face because you do learn but if you can you know maybe not bust your dome so hard because you know you've been informed by somebody who's been through it then you know that's what we really wanted to accomplish with Boss Moves. Just something new, change the narrative and just kind of educate as much as we can. There you go. We appreciate you for joining

And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez.

Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.

Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida Man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.

Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Donkey of the Day with Charlamagne Tha God. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.

Yes, Donkey of the Day goes to a Miami man named William Carroll. First of all, what does your Uncle Charla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. That is a fact. But one thing I don't do enough is salute the great city of Miami. Drop one of the clues bombs for Miami. The 305. One of the greatest places on the planet.

We don't discuss Miami enough. I know y'all like to go down there for the weather and the beaches and the licking and the nightlife, but Miami has contributed so much to the culture of hip-hop. Drop on the clues bombs for Uncle Luke and the 2 Live Crew! Top 5 rap group of all time! Uncle Luke

is a whole legend and should always be respected as such. Y'all wouldn't have parental advisory stickers on albums if it wasn't for Uncle Luke. Uncle Luke, you know, was considered obscene. OK, and went against Congress to fight for the First Amendment. Artists, freedom of speech. He really fought for that. OK, America labeled him explicit, which led to the mandatory parental advisory sticker you see on music now with offensive content.

OK, that impacted all musical genres, by the way, not just hip-hop, all right? He fought for the right to tell big booty hoes, you ain't nothing but a hoochie mama. She ain't nothing but a hoochie mama. Hoot rat, hoot rat, hoochie mama. She ain't nothing but a hoochie mama. Hoot rat, hoot rat. You hear me?

He fought for the right to tell Asian women all around the world, me so horny. Uncle Luke, you hear me? Uncle Luke fought for the right to tell you that Cap D is coming. And at some point after he comes, you're going to have to put your hands up high, your ass down low, and drop that boom boom to the floor. That's right.

I still got them knees. You hear what I'm saying? That was a good era. Don't play no more. That's all I'm saying. Don't play no more. That was a good era. Have we all grown now?

Yes. Do we all realize that, you know, the music was misogynistic and sexist? Yes. But can we all admit that problematic music slapped? OK. And it wouldn't be the same without the toxicity. And you are a liar. If you say you hear that music now and it doesn't make you feel good. OK. Drop from the clues bombs for Uncle Luke. All right right i still listen to i want to rock right now i literally mean right now like that's my joint okay this man uncle luke had us screaming the color of feces for no damn reason okay proudly screaming out what the color of feces was just because some of y'all doodoo might be green okay sometime might even be a little hint of red

depending on if you got hemorrhoids or how much fun you had in the bedroom the night before. But it's universally known that Doodoo is brown because of the legend named Luthor Campbell. And that's why we are gathered here today, ladies and gentlemen, to discuss Doodoo. Okay, see, William Carroll is a robber who is currently facing charges of armed robbery and battery. See, a woman was walking her dog in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood. She was picking up her dog's poop walk Monday night turned into a violent attack. Police say a woman was attacked and robbed on her way back home after walking her dog. She stopped on the stairs to her condo to pick up the dog's waist when a man allegedly came from behind with a knife and strangled her, then allegedly stole her backpack and wallet. Police caught Carol a few

blocks away out of breath and they say with the victim's credit cards nearby. He told detectives he didn't do it, but police say he didn't realize he was wearing one of the biggest pieces of evidence which came from the dog literally the police report states a brownish stain was seen on the defendant's shirt matching the dog poop from the scene william carl is in jail because number one he's a robber but number two because of doo-doo all right this woman had to wear with all or maybe you know just in her fighting a little she got enough doo-doo, all right? This woman had to wear with all, or maybe, you know, just in her fighting a little, she got enough doo-doo on him for cops to notice he had a dog poop stain on his shirt.

First of all, you're not just about to blend in when you got doo-doo on you, okay? Even if the clothes you're wearing are indeed a doo-doo brown color, the smell, my G, okay? The odor. We've all had dog poop on our shoe at some point in life.

You can't escape that funky ass fragrance. All right. Think about the time you had to take cleaning doo-doo off your shoes in life. So imagine walking around with it on your shirt. You throw the whole shirt away. Clearly, William, 62 years old, robbing folks at knife point, couldn't afford to throw his shirt away. But the fact you just decided to go to the cultural institution known as pizza hut with doodoo on your shirt sir respect yourself but also respect the home of the book it program you can't just walk up in pizza hut with doodoo on your shirt and get you a personal pan pie and keep it moving and furthermore how stink are you on a regular basis that you don't even notice you got doo-doo on your shirt?

Not only did he have doo-doo on his shirt, the officers found the victim's belongings and the knife. So it's an open and shut case. Now, William Carroll is currently in the Turner Goldfield Knight Correctional Center. All you brothers in that facility who are listening to the breakfast club this morning, you're listening to Charlamagne Tha God deliver this donkey of the day. If you don't see that man, William Carroll and say, don't stop, pop that bussy.

Let me see you. Doodoo Brown. If y'all not calling that man, Doodoo Brown for the rest of Dudu Brown for the rest of his life, for the rest of his stay in that facility, then y'all have collectively failed Miami-Dade County. I'm not saying harass the man. I'm just

saying his life, y'all entertainment. Y'all just trying to kill some time behind those walls and him ending up there because one, he made the poor choice to rob and steal and two, because of Dudu! It's just too much comedy gold to not let the jokes fly. Please give William Carroll, a.k.a. Doo-Doo Brown, the biggest he-haw.

You tired, man? A little bit. You sweating? A little bit. Let that goddamn, let that damn, that scar fly one more time, though. Uh-oh. Go, go, go, go, go, get low, oh, get low, oh, low. Megan got nothing on you, get low. I'm glad you know, I'm glad you know.

Why can't y'all just admit? Y'all be out here judging these kids. Listen, y'all be out here trying to act so woke, judging these kids for the content of their music. And that's what we grew up on. Okay? Give me oxygen, bro. Our era was so toxic

and so problematic, but so damn fun. Okay? Alright. Do you even have those classic tunes without the toxicity Huh Drink some water I'm fine

Don't think I'm not fine I am fine You hear me I am 43 with the knees Of a 41 year old Look like you need a little Bengay What I did say pop that bussy Of a 41-year-old. Look like you need a little Bengay.

What? I did say pop that bussy. You know what? So who Bengay? I'm Bengay. The Breakfast Club. Power 105.1. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

sure. 100%. See, that's the thing. I mean, it's always scared to, like, tap into something that's, like, that sacred. But, I mean, I think, you know what I mean, for the new, for, like, the new lane and the generation, it's always scared to like tap into something that's like that sacred but i mean i think you know i mean for the new for like the new lane and the generation is fire what was the process like for you guys to even become the host um we actually you know it's crazy because i was actually advocating for the joint to come back forever i kept mentioning yo yo yo it gotta come back it gotta come back they're like yeah yeah yeah yeah and then when they finally hit me

yo we're bringing it back and we want you as the host. That's just how they hit me. And then to get her, I had to do like a Zoom meeting with like a whole bunch of DJs. But then the chemistry that me and her had was just crazy.

And they said, yo, we want to see nobody else. This is it. Did y'all know each other before? No. No, the first time was meeting on Zoom. That was it.

And we just clicked. You seem conceited on a meme or two though. Yeah. No, you know what's crazy? I didn't. meeting on zoom that was it and we just clicked you seem conceited on a meme or two though yeah no you know what's crazy i didn't remember when we was in the car and i was like yo that's yo yo listen yo listen we're leaving the set and then she was just like yo you're the mean bull i was like yo that was crazy yeah i didn't was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, yo, that was crazy. Yeah, I didn't know.

Did they incorporate that for any of the promos? They had to. No, no. Oh, come on. I mean, well, at least we don't know yet. Because there's still a lot of episodes that we didn't see yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, did Ed Lover and Dr. J or Fab Five Freddy, any of them consult or reach out to you guys?

No, I'm not sure if they did to, like, you know what I mean, like the higher-ups, but to us, no. No, not yet. At least not yet. But hopefully we do them some justice, I mean. They might be waiting to watch it. Yeah, let's see. What are some things from the original that y'all are bringing back? Yeah, so we have the live performances.

So we have that, and we have cyphers. And, of course, you know, we have, you know, just like the sit-down like the sit down talking just like we're doing now so you know it's still going to be that same vibe but just you know just with more of like a new age twist on it and we're showing a lot of love to up-and-coming artists as well yeah what is coaching nowadays because when i think about umtv raps i think about like that was a show that you used to go to to see the culture but it's like what is the culture now that's a good question well the culture now is see the culture but it's like what is the culture now oh that's a good question well the culture now is is i would say it's mixed i mean because you have the interview you have instagram rappers right and that's all like soundcloud rappers but then you have you

know the the main artist so i think it's just like a melting pot but you have real gangsters now i mean you have real gangsters you have real you have snitches, you have You have everything, you know what I mean So I think the culture just, I mean Basically just became to whatever you Like, whatever you want it to be I feel like rap is just The culture is evolving And we just evolving with it, you know what I mean

And I think with the show It's cool because we're adding a new twist To a legendary You know, a legendary show with new artists and a new look. Like I said, when I watched it, some of the performances, I felt like I was watching an awards show. Honestly, that's the way the production was. So it's just like a new twist on something that was definitely legendary and still is legendary to this day. It feels like the music is 5% of the culture now.

It's like every day we wake up, we're talking about things that don't have nothing to do with music. Going to jail. Yes, fighting. And I'm not going to get me wrong, it's artists that are doing it, but we're not talking about their music. Yeah, we're just talking about their lifestyle.

Are there things you stray away from talking about sometimes? Like you're like, okay, this person's beeping with this person or this happened, and you're like, you know what? I don't want to feed into that. Or do you feel like I'm going to report on it because people are talking about sometimes like you're like okay this person's beeping with this person or this happened and you're like you know what i don't want to feed into that or do you feel like i'm a report on it because people are talking about it oh well me personally i would stay away from it i mean because that's something we really do not need i mean that's just like stirring the pot we're not we don't need but if they're gonna talk about it we're gonna talk about it i mean if if not if not if the artist won't want to say it i mean yeah feel free but i don't want I don't want to be the one to like, I mean, poke in the bed and I mean, somebody get hurt. And we already losing way, way enough, too many people.

So we don't need none of that. Who's on the first episode? The first episode is Freddie Gibbs. Shout out to Gary in the end of Freddie Gibbs. He just got some. He's always in some. To be honest. I mean, so.

But I really like Freddie Gibbs. He's hilarious. some s***. To be honest. And I really like Freddie Gibbs. As an artist, as a person. I don't know how this happens. I'm like, man, he's so cool. Why does this keep on happening? When you watch it, you're going to see what happens. He talks anything. He does not care.

You mention him and just go crazy. Wait a minute. Who did he talk about in the first episode? I don't know if i should say it they gotta watch all right all right so they gotta watch it he definitely talks crazy about some people a lot he just oh my god freddie yeah listen in hindsight did he talk crazy about benny the butcher no okay no no no he did not no everybody's like hmm and then sometimes so how many episodes did y'all bank in advance? Well, we did eight this one. So we did eight.

The set looks amazing i saw on your instagram page like it looks really dope i told you it looked like an award show that's what i was saying it looks like the production the the layout of the set is i walked in there i'm like oh i didn't expect this it was crazy are there new segments that you guys introduced besides using um some from the past no no we really kept it you know i mean really traditional really i mean um and we do take a lot of trips like matter of fact i'm bugging i'm lying there is a segment on there called yo on the block and where i basically visit

all the iconic spots mentioned like in like hip-hop songs oh wow i mean so like west west streets all right i'll say one of them. I'll say one, but it's a lot. Is it on the first episode? The one that I'm saying is not on the first episode. Okay, okay. So it's 560 Stage Street. In Brooklyn, right by the barcodes.

Yes, exactly, yes. We pulled up on Jigga Spot. So, I mean, that was dope. So that was one, but we got like five. So it was ew. Do you feel like you're finally getting your just due diamond cuts? Because people don't know, like, even when it comes to Philly, you like, you discovered Lil Uzi, bro. Wasn't Lil Uzi

your artist? Yeah. You didn't know that? I didn't know that. Did I? No, I never. I don't really talk. The only time I spoke about it was up here, and it was the last time I spoke about it.

I've been doing my thing for a minute, and I feel like I was always kind of pushed to the back. You know, people overlooked me.

Yeah, we spoke. Shout out to my friend Shante. She was with him and she FaceTimed me. Wow. And I said, girl, what if I had my scarf on? You know what I mean? It's like my best friend. She FaceTimed me and Uzi was like right there on the phone.

And what could we do? We just started talking and everything kind of just, it was like nothing had ever happened. And everything was pretty cool. And I've been speaking to him. We spoke a few times. We text and we FaceTime each other from time to time. So, yeah. Not to like navigate the interview or nothing,

but, yo, I just want to know, how did it happen? Like, how did you, like, find him? Oh, oh, my God. You got to watch the Breakfast Club. All right, so I got to watch the Breakfast Club. Yeah, that's where everybody's going to spend a whole bunch of time talking about that again. But, yeah, we cool.

You know what I mean? I spoke the drama, and everything's all good. All right, we got more with DJ Diamond. Cut to conceding. When we come back, and everything's all good. All right, we got more with DJ Diamond Cuts and Conceited. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with the new host of your MTV Raps, Conceited and DJ Diamond Cuts. Charlamagne. Who's the next person out of Philly? Ooh, that's a good question. I got a lot of people that I like. D4M Sloan

I like there's another artist named Leigh Banks Lil Mook Young K there's a lot of artists in the city right now it all just depends on who's gonna get their first record to kind of take them out of there but there's a lot of artists popping in the city right now

there's an artist I like I think his name is Lil Mook Lil Mook M-U-K his name is Lil Mook. Lil Mook. Mook, that's Mook? Yeah, that's Mook. M-U-K though, right? M-U-K-K, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Lil Mook, yeah. Shout out to Lil Mook. Him and his mans.

I forgot his mans name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, shout out to all them Philly doing their thing. Like, you know what I mean? And we killing it right now on TikTok with the club music and stuff like that.

For real, everybody's doing the challenges and everything. So, it's lit. The city is lit right now. I'm just waiting for like their first artist to kind of like really take off and shout out to Mecca too.

So I gotta give a big shout out to Mecca Monroe. So it's a lot of artists. I was gonna say, you're from Brooklyn, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, from Brooklyn. Who do you like from Brooklyn

right now up and coming? Favi, of course. He's kind of on already though. Yeah, but I mean, but still he's on, but he just, he's really like my favorite Brooklyn artist right now.

22G's, I like Dusty Locaine. I like... Where B-Love from? He's from the Bronx. From the Bronx, okay. Yeah. I mean, that's really who I really listen to the most, really. Have you ever written songs, Casita? Nah, not really.

That's what I'm saying. I know you freestyle. I'm like, I've never heard a Casita record. I'm not like a rapper. I was just a battle rapper. Are we going to see you do some freestyle, some battling on your MTV raps? Are we going to see some of your skills? No, but I do hop in one of the cyphers.

Okay, I knew it. So, I mean, you are going to see some bars, of course. See, that makes sense, though, because, I mean, Tigger used to do that on Rap City. So, it would make sense for a host to jump in and rap. So, you only did it once? Yeah. You're scared mean we only did a site we only did a site for like three times so who was the artist we had simba oh baby tate baby tate uh damn what is that uh dude's name man i feel bad not even saying uh dav David, I know it's David something. I don't know his last name,

but he was fire. He was actually... For real, this is unfair because it was like 50 of them. And honestly, I know a lot of people think that we didn't really see the episodes yet. Oh, okay.

So it's not like... So I mean, we don't really, really, really know. You don't know how it's edited or put together. No, so we can be watching for the first time with y'all. We all watching together. How did this impact your day jobs you know conceded you know one of yours is wild and out

down the cuts of course power 99 in Philly how did that affect the day jobs it really didn't because like we taped everything like a week um and then we had like little promos everything really took took like two weeks, honestly. Maybe like a week and a half. Radio, you know, we do that everywhere. You know what I mean? I'd be in my hotel room mixing it up, doing listen. Seriously, like, you know what I mean? You know how it is.

So it didn't really take up, you know, much time at all for me. Yeah, at all. I mean, the same because that's MTV. So, I mean, they made sure that the schedules were just right for me. Oh, it's all Viacom. Yeah, at all. I mean, the same because that's MTV. So, I mean, they made sure that the schedules were just right for me. So, yeah. Oh, it's all Viacom. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's interesting, right? Because it feels like when you do radio nowadays, you can't just do radio anymore. Nope. Like, you have to be multimedia. Yup. Or you're going to be broke.

I'm going to say it right here. Right now. When I got on radio, I was like, oh, that's what's up. I had enough to say it right here, right now. And I got on the radio. I was like, oh, that's what's up, my baby. I had enough to live in Section 8. That was it. Diamond, because you have a daughter, right?

A son. A son. Your son DJs? He does. He likes to play around. He likes to press buttons and play around with the turntables. He raps a lot. He raps a lot.

He likes to make a lot of songs. He records on his iPad, his phone. So, yeah. He definitely got the cheat code at home, too. Yeah, he do. Yeah, I be wanting him to really pay attention, but he don't. It's all right.

Is he a celebrity at school? Yeah, he always talking about something he's done. We went to the, I DJed at the White House. Oh, for the Easter egg. For the Easter egg roll. Oh, wow. And he's whole school new. Easter egg roll.

Yeah, the Easter egg roll, where they do like the Easter egg roll for the kids. That's what it's called? Yeah, Easter egg roll. That's the one that Yo Gotti was there, right? Yo Gotti. I thought it was Easter egg hunt. No, it was Easter egg roll. Really?

Yeah. What's the difference between a roll and a hunt? They roll the egg and you got to pick it up with a spoon and run it. It's Easter Egg Roll. Really? Yeah. What's the difference between a roll and a hunt? They roll the egg and you got to pick it up with a spoon. That's a little game. But it was cool. This year it was about eggucation. That's what they call it.

Eggucation? So clever. Y'all should have recorded that for the show. For real, thanks. That was fun. Eggucation. What other guests we got on the show this season? Mulatto. Mulatto. Just Lotto now. Lotto. Big Lotto. That was fun. What other guests we got on the show this season? Mulatto.

Just Lotto now. Big Lotto. The biggest. We got Trina. Legendary Trina. We got Tee Grizzly. We got J.I.D. Oh, which was one of my favorites. We got those. We got the hip-hop directors.

We had Chris Robinson and his son and Cole Bennett. So that was fire to me. And for everybody out there that loves collectibles, we had Hebo Brantley. Hebro, shout out to Hebro. And he's from Philly. He's from Chicago. Chicago, okay. Yeah, Hebro Brantley was there.

Sefri, you know what I mean? He pulled up with Hebro. Yeah, Brantley, Brazil. Seferi, you know what I mean? He pulled up in Hebrew. Yeah, so it's a lot, man. Listen, it's more than just music. Like you said, it's culture, lifestyle. You know, we dig into everything hip-hop, pretty much. Dancing, everything. Is it going to be timely?

What do you mean? Like, say, Kendrick album came out. Will y'all be on that week that Kendrick album dropped? So, the plan is to change it to weekly now. Okay. I mean, so, hopefully, yeah. Yeah, so, I mean, that's definitely the angle that we're really trying to go. Because, you know, something new is happening in hip-hop daily.

Yeah. So, I mean, we're trying to at least, you know, make it weekly so we can have, like, the latest and greatest for you. Right. You have to date the news. So, like, the latest and greatest for you. Right. You have to date the news. So everybody got to start watching May 24th. Yep. May 24th on Paramount+. So does that mean, is it once a week that they put it out,

or can you stream them all at once? Once a week. Once a week, yeah. And right now, like, they're playing, like, the most 50 iconic original episodes. So, I mean, get that and you're good. Oh, that's dope. Just binge that. That's a nice reading. Yeah, to're good. Oh, that's dope. Just binge that.

That's a nice reading. Yeah, to just watch and boom, it's gonna be lit. Did y'all grow up watching your MTV raps? I did, I did. I mean, not tremendously, but there was like episodes

I definitely watched because I had like, I'm the youngest. I have older brothers, sisters, so it was definitely on my crib for sure. I had to do a lot of mine on YouTube,

like, you know, recapping and watching a lot of the- That's so long ago. Yeah, but I, I just, YouTube was like where I went to do a lot of mine on YouTube, like, you know, recapping and watching a lot of the- That's so long ago you did. But I just, YouTube was like where I went to kind of like watch the, you know, the older episodes that happened. But definitely, for sure, definitely watched it for sure. Yeah. Well, I love it.

I love the nostalgia of bringing something that was so important to culture back and giving it this 2022 feel. So congratulations to you guys. Thank you. And make sure everybody watches it because it's going to be important because we want this to be a weekly show. Yes. We want to make sure that it continues on. We want to make it a yearly show.

on May 24th thank y'all for joining us thank you for having me thank you Angela Yee yeah it's The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club morning everybody

it's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha Guy we are The Breakfast Club we got a special guest in the building Mama Glow Slatham Thomas. Welcome back.

I seen you last time you were here. I couldn't remember. I had to go do something for TV. Yeah, and you had your book coming out, which is doing really well. Yes, it's doing great. Good to see you. How's everything? Everything is so good. I'm so glad to see y'all too. Thank you so much for having me. Always just letting me come up here. Yeah, you know tomorrow is the big

Doula Expo. Yes! We're so excited. Tell the people what the Doula Expo is. So the Doula Expo is the first and only event of its kind that centers doulas, caregivers, families, and lifting up policy changes and shifts that we can make to have

better maternal health outcomes. But it's also a festival, so there's live music, there's a lot of brands activating, and it's a place where you can just kick it, chill, rest. There's food. It's just a festival. So there's live music. There's a lot of brands activating. And it's a place where you can just kick it, chill, rest. There's food. It's just a place for community to come together. And we're really excited because we have a lot of support from local officials.

We have the Brooklyn Borough President, Antonio Reynoso, who's going to come and do some opening remarks. And he's leading up the Maternal Health Task Force. And so he's really also committed to improving maternal health and making Brooklyn the safest place to give birth in New York. So we're happy to have him.

And we have the public advocate, Jumaane Williams, will be there, too, making some remarks. You'll be there. I will be there. I'm in conversation with Charles Johnson. Charles Johnson. Yeah. Which we're excited about because, you know, I think it's so important to center fathers in this conversation.

You know, a lot of us, you know, including myself, so important to center fathers in this conversation you know a lot of us you know including myself are in a position to sort of speak from the lens of being a woman and being impacted you know and having family members impacted and obviously friends by the maternal health crisis but you know we never really get to hear fathers in a certain light and so I'm really interested for this conversation that y'all have that can not only shed light on the the lens fatherhood, but also sort of, you know, what fathers are doing and specifically what Charles has done in terms of impacting on legislation to improve maternal health. Yeah, I first heard of Charles's story. I think I was watching.

I think it was on CNN, if I'm not mistaken. They did a story on him because sadly he lost his wife during childbirth. Yeah. And it was unfortunate because they were inside the hospital and she was let to bleed for 10 hours internally after a routine C-section. And so he's now in a civil rights lawsuit with Cedars-Sinai, which is a huge deal because the lawsuit is actually directed towards medical racism. So it'll set a precedent, you know,

if he's able to win this case. Wow. I want to ask you, I know you're up here, I know you're up here promoting this, but when you seen all the mass hysteria about the shortage of formula, what are your thoughts on that? So it's really interesting.

I saw something that said that people were gouging folks on, on like eBay selling formula for like $300 serious yeah and so it's interesting at the doula Expo we actually have a company called Bobby which is a formula company that does a European style formula which is important because American formula is actually like not regulated in the way that Europe regulates theirs. And so they have better safety. What's the name of the company? It's called Bobby, B-O-B-B-I-E.

Yes. I heard, you know what? We, you know, we have, I have a five month old and somebody was telling us about it and it was saying that over there, the formulas are a lot better. Yeah. Like they're regulated, they're richer in ingredients. Yes. And so to have lots of people ship them.

Right. And so Bobby being American made, made by moms, you know, people and also scientists, obviously, we got to get you some, you know, if you guys are needing everybody gets to breastfeed and about three quarters of women end up using formula at some point. So it's important to have an option that makes sense for people. So I'm all for people having access. Bobby's amazing. They donated a thousand cans of formula to the Mamalua Foundation for us to make sure that people have access to formula. So we're really happy to be partnered with them. We'll have a conversation actually about this crisis, what it means for people at the Doula Expo too. And if people can't come, they can live stream it also.

We have it on the MomGo Facebook. We'll be live streaming Saturday's events as well. I'm glad y'all having that conversation because I saw the argument this week and I was like, why does everything have to turn into an argument online? But it's like, I think somebody said, I don't know, I forgot who it was. Bette Miller. And she just I was like, why does everything have to turn into an argument online? But it's like, I think somebody said, I don't know, I forgot who it was. Bette Miller.

And she just basically was like, y'all should be breastfeeding anyway. Yeah. I mean, I think it's interesting because we all know that like that's the best way to feed our babies. We understand that, right? Like you have to create this birth village around yourself, but not everybody has access to that. So yes, it's cheap, it's free, it's the right temperature

when you do the breast milk, right? It comes out the temperature it needs to be. It has all the nutrients the baby needs and we advocate for that. But we have to also understand there are social factors and also health factors. Some people have, you know,

one of the things that I love about Bobby, for instance, is they actually donate formula to women who've had mastectomies who haven't been able to breastfeed because of cancer. And so there's reasons for why people can't do it. And instead of judging, because it's really not the time to judge. Babies need to be fed. And so the goal is to make sure babies are fed. Absolutely.

That's why you got to go to the Doula Expo tomorrow. Get information like that. Give them the information again and how they could, if they can't make it, how they could live stream. Yeah, so you should come to join us in Brooklyn 25, Kent. It's in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Really easy to get to. It is from 10 to 6 on Saturday. And on live stream, it's on Facebook at Mama Glow on the Mama Glow Facebook platform for the Doula Expo. You'll see it there. You can just join the live stream or set a little alert. And the live stream will start from like 11 a.m. onward.

And then we're excited. I mean, the conversations are going to be amazing. We have a live performance from Lion Babe. We'll be talking, you know, about her birth experience. She also used doulas. She's also going to give us a nice special performance. So it's going to be really exciting. So just come through.

And if somebody's coming from the Breakfast Club, you know, I know a lot of folks in our community would like to come. And I know folks have been impacted by COVID and, you know, money is tight for folks. So if you guys want to come, if you're listening, if you're local in the tri-state area, you can use the code The Breakfast Club, and then that'll get you free entry into the expo, and we'd love to have you come. Oh, wow. What's the website again so they'll know that?

DulaExpo.com. And the code to register would be The Breakfast Club at checkout. And if somebody out there is considering a doula, and they have a lot of questions, why would you encourage them to come to the expo? Yeah. So this is a space where you'll be able to meet doulas and care providers. You'll be able to meet organizations that are actually impacting on policy like the March of Dimes. They're having a listening lounge and they'll be doing a policy driven conversation in the beginning of the day. But they have a lounge where you can come and share the experience that you had in your birth

or what you're hoping for. You can talk to doulas and other care providers. You can talk to people. If you're on your fertility journey, there's a company, Ovia Health, which we're excited about. We'll do a whole kind of like fertility, like myths and truths

so that you can understand like how to optimize fertility. There's all kinds of things along the pre- and postnatal continuum in terms of conversations that we're excited about. But it's just going to be amazing. And also, Karen Parsons, who you all know from Fresh Prince, she's our emcee. So she also is a big supporter of yours as well. Hillary.
