All right. Last night was a great night for me. Last night was a great night. We all gathered around like a family, as we should have, and watched one of the best moments that we've seen during this whole versus thing.

Snoop Dogg versus DMX, the battle of the dogs. Okay. It was everything we thought it would be. You know, we knew that it was going to be entertaining. Yeah. We knew that Snoop was going to watch DMX, which he did on the scorecard, but it was a lot closer just in spirit.

You know what I'm saying? Just because DMX is such an anointed person and he's such an amazing spirit And he has good records He even has great records But you know when you take those good records Those great records, those bombs And you put them up against some institutions

Some weapons of mass destruction Like Snoop Dogg got It's just an imbalance You know what I mean? But it was still an entertaining versus nevertheless And I want y'all to know in this room, our board op named DJ Dramos never ever trust his opinion

on anything ever again because even this morning, he is still saying Rough Riders Anthem is a better record than Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's Nothing But A G Thing. I stand by that. Nothing But A G Thing is one of the top five maybe greatest hip-hop records of all time. It is a perfect hip-hop song. I stand by that. Nothing but a G-Thing is one of the top five maybe greatest hip-hop records of all

time. It is a perfect hip-hop song. Rough Riders and Nothing But a G-Thing are not in the same league. Bro, he's a 22-year-old from Washington Heights. He knows nothing about the hip-hop. We know. He's got ears.

Nothing But a G-Thing is probably one of the biggest records ever. You don't think Rough Riders Anthem is top five? No. Top five what? Record, hip hop records. No. Top five DJ Dramos record.

It probably means more to DJ Dramos because of his age. No, I mean, I can't say that Rough Riders Anthem meant a lot to me and put me in a time and place in New York City, but that G thing, that G thing wanted me to, I wanted to buy a 6'4 and wear Chucks. Like, you know, it put you in that mood.

Those West Coast beats just put you someplace else. But, Dramos, how old were you, Dramos, when nothing but a G thing came out? What year did that come out? I mean, who knows?

Like, 1992 or 1993. Oh, yeah. I was like one. Okay, so that's why. Do you have Tommy Hilfiger underwear on your face right now? It's not underwear. It's a custom mask. That's underwear, bro. It's not underwear. That is the crotch.

That's the second reason to never trust anything that comes out of DJ Dramos' mouth Because he's got Tommy Hilfiger's underwear on his face It's a mask Yes, that you made out of underwear I seen the crotch part You know the crotch part?

I can see that No, it's not true Whatever makes you happy Okay Whatever makes you happy Whatever makes you wear a mask, bro Whatever makes you want to keep that mask on your face all day The crotch part that comes

out a little bit, that's just right on his nose and mouth. Don't judge him, Envy. Just stop, drop, shut up, roll him down, shut him up, shop, whatever the hell they say. What do they say on that song? Okay, drop, shut him down, open up shop. Okay.

Great battle, though. Drop one of Kool and Bronson, DMX, and Snoop Dogg. Go shout out to Swizz and Timbo. Great battle. Great battle, though. Drop one of Kluge bombs for DMX and Snoop Dogg. Go shout out to Swizz and Timbo. Great battle. Great battle, man. I loved it. I loved it. I even won a bet.

We had a bet going. B-Dot from Rap Radar asked, what color Timbs would DMX wear? What did you say? I said, first I said orange, and then I said I said nope actually he'll be on the west coast So he might wear red And then I said actually he might wear black Because he's on the west coast just to stay neutral But I was closest because I said red

I definitely knew it was going to be red I knew it was going to be red Alright well It's throwback Thursday And we have a throwback artist joining us this morning CeCe Penniston will be joining us this morning. Hey. Hey.

Finally, it's happened to me. CeCe Penniston had a lot of hit records her day. So CeCe Penniston had five number ones on the Billboard dance charts back in the day, back in the 90s. Hit by love. I'm in the mood. A lot of big tunes. Keep on walking. We got a love thing.

And, of course, finally. We got a, we got a love. We got a, we got a love. I'm in the mood. Keep on walking. We got a love thing. And of course, finally. We got a, we got a love. We got a, we got a love. Mm-hmm. Okay. I'm here for this. Okay. All right.

Nice to have a Thursday interview. That's right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about? Let's talk about Donald Trump and the Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot, and federal aid being sent to Chicago. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, Donald Trump is going to be sending federal agents to Chicago because of the surge of violent crime.

Now, he did have a news conference to discuss this. And after that news conference, he also called the mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot. And here's what he had to say. The Department of Justice will immediately surge federal law enforcement to the city of Chicago. The FBI, ATF, DEA, U.S. Marshals Service, and Homeland Security will together be sending hundreds of skilled law enforcement officers to Chicago to help drive down violent crime. We will find them, arrest them, and prosecute them. They will be in jail for many years to come. But we must remember that the job of policing a neighborhood falls on the shoulders of local elected leadership. Now, Lori Lightfoot.

Oh, go ahead. I was just going to say Lori Lightfoot said if those agents are here to actually work in partnership in support of gun violence and violent cases, plugging into existing infrastructure of federal agents and not trying to play police in our streets, then that's something different. But the proof is going to be in the pudding. You know, Donald Trump told us in the Rose Garden a while ago that he was going to send the military into American cities. And he has done just that. He has sent all those militarized federal agents into American cities, Portland, now Chicago. Chicago could turn into a bloodbath.

And what bothers me about this is those folks in Chicago don't need force. They need funds. They need resources. Send federal aid, not agents, okay? Invest some money into those porn disenfranchised areas in Chicago so they can have better schools, create job training programs, build STEM centers, provide free therapy and grief counseling. Give those people some opportunity.

Okay? Like, what y'all gonna do with the militarized? They just gonna go in there and do what caused more trouble and caused more chaos and caused more violence. And then you haven't solved a problem at all. Yeah, I don't understand. So this was after

a shooting outside of a Southside funeral home. Fifteen people were injured at that shooting. And the city has had one of its most violent years. And a recent memory with 414 homicides through Sunday this year. That's compared with 275 at the same time last year. I bet you the unemployment rate in that area is super high. It's like the unemployment rate is high all across the country. It's just like, yo, our government has failed us, you know, federally and locally on so many different levels, man.

Like, once again, they don't need, you know, federal agents. They need federal aid. You know, put some money into those poor and disenfranchised cities. Create some job training programs, some opportunity for those folks. That's what they need. And I think in Chicago, in particular, the mayor is looking at what's happening in Portland with these federal agents. And she said in Portland, they ignored the U.S. attorney,

put these agents on the street. And I don't think anyone can quibble with the fact that what happened was not only unconstitutional, it was undemocratic. So she's concerned that they'll try to do the same thing in Chicago. All right. I'm telling you, man, there's only one, there's really only one thing to do. And you got to get Donald Trump out of the White House. And you got to, you know, put somebody in the White House who actually cares.

All right. That's why in November, I'm telling everybody to vote for Kanye West. Okay. Shut up. All right. Well, that's front in November I'm telling everybody to vote for Kanye West okay shut up alright well that's front page news hey Kanye would never send militarized federal agents into Chicago his hometown get it off your chest 800-585-1051

But he put it together towards the middle and the end, so I was good. It was a really great performance. He was playing his hits, but, you know, sometimes those good records pale in comparison to great records. And that's what happened in this battle. That's all. Yeah, he played all his records. There was nothing that I think that he missed out on.

I can't think of anything. But he played all his great records. In the beginning, he was playing. No, he wasn't. He came out with absolute fire in the beginning, he was playing. No, he wasn't. He came out with absolute fire in the beginning. It's just Snoop records are just better and bigger. Okay, follow me. But didn't you enjoy seeing the two of them there together celebrating each other?

Oh, my God. That was the win. It was so amazing. It was so amazing. It was great. DMX started off with the intro to It's Dark and Hell is Hot, went into What's My Name, Get At Me, Dog, some X, Stop Being Greedy, Money Cash Holes, Come Back in One Piece, X Gon' Give It To Ya,

Who We Be, Get It On The Floor. Yeah, now he playing his hits. They just pale in comparison to Deep Cover, Who Am I, Gin and Juice, Trade Aid, Two of America's most wanted. Down for my hitters. Ain't no fun. Be pleased. One of the funniest parts.

When DMX was like, oh, we know your name. Now let me tell you my name. It was just dead. And nothing happened. He said, let's try this again. Very Ja Rule. Are you ready? Funniest part.

One of the funniest parts was when DMX said to Swizz, man, Swizz, what you over there doing? Smoking chocolate off a plate? He didn't know what hookah was. He didn't know what hookah was. Get it off your chest. Let's go to another line. Hello, who's this? Cam.

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.

Say it, what's up, what's up?

Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yeah, yeah, what's going on? Good morning, Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning, Envy. What's going on on the J? What's up?

How y'all doing, man? I was calling to talk about the battle last night, man. It was a very good battle. Very good battle. I know a lot of people thought the X was going to hold his own against Snoop, but he definitely held his own. And shout out to Swizz for helping DMX with that right there because

if it wasn't for Swizz, I think that Snoop probably would have washed him. I mean, Snoop did wash him. I mean, let's be honest, alright? Even though we love DMX and he has good records, like I said, all week, they pale in comparison to Snoop's weapons of mass destruction. I gave X, like, four to five rounds.

Five. He got about five. Five going. But a couple with ties. I was going to say, well, the thing about it is, though, it's the line of the way that Swiss did it for him, you know? Before I realized Swiss was even on the boards back then, I was like, oh, they got to do it next time. So it was pretty strategic, really good on that part. I saw people being disrespectful, saying essentially this battle was Snoop,

Dr. Dre versus Swiss. But I think y'all forget, too, that the good brother Dame, Grease, produced a lot of those early DMX records the good brother Dame Grease produced a lot of those early DMX records as well. Grease definitely produced a lot of those. Oh yeah, I was hoping to hear more on X and Locks. Yo, yo, uh, uh,

then started something? Man, that rang off last night. That rang off last night. And I, and I would, I would give that round to DMX, but Doggy Dog World is a very, very tough tune, man. Very tough tune. But I still gave that round to DMX, even though that's very debatable. Between N-Words done started something in Doggy Dog World.

Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on? This is Nova Phoenix coming out of Queens. What's up, bro? Shout out to all you on the show. Just want to big up to Charlamagne. Big ups to you, DJ Envy. What's going

on? Angela Yee. We know each other, of course, where I was coming to Wealth Wednesday for lightblood.com. I just wanted to talk about what I just heard. It's what you guys are talking about with President Trump trying to send in federal agents into Chicago. I think it's crazy. I think it's nuts.

People do not need a heavy hand. People don't need an army coming to Chicago. We have a problem, an economic problem. It's these economically depressed neighborhoods that need funding in their neighborhoods. They need job opportunities. They need social programs to get back up on their feet. This is not rocket science. These are what people

need. And it's just not Chicago where they keep on highlighting Chicago because, of course, all they want to do is just enforce police invading these communities of color. This is a problem. This is an economic problem that's happening across America. You can highlight any neighborhood in America

and you're going to have rape. You're going to have murder. You're going to have gun violence. These are the things that are affecting America and deteriorating. And we need to focus on the issues to try to uplift these neighborhoods. It's not sending in armies into neighborhoods. Let's get to the root of the problem. Donald Trump had once said that Chicago's crime problem could be solved within a week. That sounds ridiculous.

No, they don't need force. They need funds. They don't need federal agents. They need federal aid, period. Invest the money into the hood. That's it. Give us some opportunity. Job training programs.

That's it. Better schools. That's it. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way, Yee? Yeah, let's start off with talking about the versus battle that went down. While it's still fresh in everybody's head this morning,

I want to hear what some of your highlights were, and we'll tell you some of the things that we learned from the battle. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. 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. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk versus. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report.

Rumor report. This is the rumor report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, last night was an epic night again. Snoop Dogg versus DMX. And it was a great time. I mean, look, I think unanimously people will say that Snoop Dogg won that battle.

But unanimously people will also say it was one of the best versus battles, right? Yes. Both things can be true. Both those things are true. Yes. Well, and that and the Beanie Man bounty killer thing, I thought that was dope too. I like Erykah Badu and Jill Scott.

That's my Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. DMX and Snoop are tied for my favorites. All right. Well, it all started off with DMX doing a prayer. May you judge us by our hearts and not by our mistakes. And see that we get our breakthrough however long it takes. May you fill that void in our souls that will lay our fears to rest but there's no way we can live for jesus

when we're living in the flesh so i pray that you allow our spirits to be born grow strong move on no right from wrong first john chapter 2 verse 15 do not love the world or anything in the world and we know what that means but listen we know the distance we need to be away from fire to keep it missing but that doesn't mean we'll listen. And we love when DMX comes on The Breakfast Club and does a prayer also. So that's an amazing way to start. Put down that blunt. Let's do this prayer.

The man is anointed, man. Like Bishop T.D. Jake's anointed. I don't think just because he's not a pastor, a deacon, or a reverend officially that he's not anointed. He is. Now, one thing we also learned was the hook for get at me dog that actually was because of snoop dog listen to what dmx said happened the get at me phrase i got that from you tell me how well you remember you came to new york javar right right y'all came by the studio after you said but we saw you in the club i was like yeah what up you're like get at me dog i was like hmm that's some slick shit right there.

You know what I'm saying? And I just, you know, I made it my own. I mean, it makes sense. Snoop Dogg's one of the most influential people in rap ever. Debatably, probably the most famous rapper of all time. So I'm sure he's inspired and influenced a lot of rappers. I love it. I love it.

Yeah, but it was just their interaction. I think that's dope. You could say something to somebody like, yo, get at me, dog, and then next thing you know, they're like, hmm, that really is a dope-ass line. I'm going to use that.

You made it a hot line. I made it a hot song. You know who else said that? The other greatest rapper of all time. Hov. Now, DMX also wants rappers to write about what's going on in their life, including their pain.

Listen to this. When you write the truth, that's the expression that you get. Motherfuckers feel what you wrote that night that you wrote that record. You understand what I'm saying? Write that pain. Write that pain. At 13, I was fucking a bitch. 26.

Sexual abuse. But I was getting my kicks. Then they say something broke and it needed to be fixed. Because all I want to do is fuck a lot of chicks. I used to get beat senseless by a ma do. So I grew up thinking that's just what moms do. Running away but had nowhere to run to. So I accepted a seven.

I must have been wrong too. Write that page. That's such a common theme for a lot of men, whether you grew up in the hood or a rural area in South Carolina. Like I've always told the story about how I got, you know, touched on by a 20-something-year-old woman when I was eight. So, yeah, that's a very common theme. I've heard D.L. Hughley say that.

That's a lot of people who have had that similar story. All right, well, they closed everything out with some freestyles, and, yeah, and, you know, I mean, are there songs that y'all feel like were missing from the battle? I think that was one of the biggest things people were talking about. Yeah, I mean, Snoop definitely left a lot of... Snoop left some records on the table. Snoop left

what kind of records did he leave? Like, I thought I Wanna Rock. Still Dre. Well, still Dre. He didn't rap, though. He was just on the hook. He was just on the hook on that one. And Jay-Z wrote that, so he couldn't have done that. Yeah, really, for me, it was just Life of the Party. I thought Life of the Party could have rang off.

Life of the Party, yeah. And maybe the I Wanna Rock joint. The I Wanna Rock, right? Yeah, I Wanna Rock, yeah. Now, right now. Those two. I think he played it better. I thought he left on the table.

I think he played it great. DMX just didn't play 24 Hours to Live, right? He didn't play 24 Hours to Live. He killed that. Did he play Blackout? He didn't play Blackout. He didn't play Blackout or 24 Hours to Live, right? He didn't play 24 Hours to Live. He killed that. Did he play Blackout? He didn't play Blackout. He didn't play Blackout or 24 Hours to Live. He didn't play Murder Grab.

X played his joints too. As I've been telling y'all since this battle was announced, DMX has good records. DMX has records that are bombs, but it's the difference between great records and weapons of mass destruction. Deep Cover is a weapon of mass destruction. Gin and Juice is a weapon of. Okay? Deep Cover is a weapon of mass destruction. Gin and Juice is a weapon of mass destruction.

Dre Day is a weapon of mass destruction. G-Thing is a weapon of mass destruction. Two of America's Most Wanted, weapon of mass destruction. It's hard to beat those kinds of records. Just this. So which rounds did DMX win? DMX handedly won round 10. That was the shiznit

versus get it on the floor. I gave that to get it on the floor. See, 12 is very debatable. The rounds I gave X are kind of debatable. 12 is debatable because it's what these just want versus beautiful. Those are two such different songs.

That's what I'm saying. And I'm saying I probably give that to Snoop. See what I'm saying. And I'm saying I'd probably give that to Snoop. See what I'm saying? How's It Going Down versus Pump Pump by Snoop Dogg. I gave that to X with How's It Going Down. How's It Going Down, absolutely. And 16 is very debatable. N-Words Done Started Something versus Doggy Dog World.

Personally, preference-wise, I love N-Words Done Started Something, but Doggy Dog World is a beyond classic record. What about Slippin' versus Murder Was the Case? Murder Was the Case gets Slippin' all the way out of here. Nah, I like Slippin'. Murder Was the Case gets Slippin' all the way out of here. Nah, I don't agree with you. That one wasn't close at all.

That's a debatable one. Yeah, what about East Side? The East Side is love it for its 4-3-2-1. 4-3-2-1 wins Eastside? The Eastside is loving for his 4-3-2-1. 4-3-2-1 wins that single-handedly. I give it to 4-3-2-1. And then another round that's debatable. Money, power, respect. Very debatable.

I gave it to money, power, respect over PIMP Remix. Yeah, I gave it to money, power, respect too. So round 10 is the only round to me that DMX won without question, without no debate. And 4-3-2-1 was the only thing he won without question. What about Party Up in here versus Drop It Like It's Hot? Debatable. Very debatable.

I never liked Party Up like that. Yeah, I never liked Party Up. I never liked Party Up too. And Drop It Like It's Hot was just so damn big. I would say one thing that Charlamagne said is, Snoop makes records that my mama dances to. You know, like my mom danced to a lot of these records. You know what I mean?

She knows a lot of these records. It's Snoop. And then now in 2020, when you listen to Party Up, you think about how much white people like it. And you think about the fact that he makes some of the most suspect lines in that record. Yes, he did.

Say one of them. Say one of them. Say one of them. Say one of them. All you men that have been to jail before, suck my... You men remind me of a script club, because every time you come around, I just got to get my... Like, okay. All right.

Well, on that note, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. And something else that was crazy last night was when Stu was like, yo, where my ladies at? And DMX responded, where my bitches at? Where my bitches at? Listen, hip hop used to be

so fun and problematic. Like those problematic rap tunes. Jeez. All right, well, we got front page news next week. Yo, Snoop got to get 10 extra points

for playing Bitches Ain't in 2020. He had to play that one. That took courage. That took courage. That took courage. I just want y'all to understand cultural context and just realize we were really cavemen back then who didn't know no better.

And what about Ain't No Fun? Goodness gracious. My daughter walked in the room while I was singing Ain't No Fun. I was like, get out right now. Ain't No Fun is a Me Too anthem. Even when DMX was naming all the women from How's It Going Down,

I was like, at least two or three of them gonna meet two DMX. Geesh. Alright. Front page news, what we talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about Joe Biden and Barack Obama teaming up for a new video. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's

DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Joe Biden and Barack Obama. They have debuted a new video where they are talking about Donald Trump and how he has not taken responsibility for everything that's happening right now with coronavirus. So let's start it off with a teaser from their campaign trailer.

Can you imagine standing up when you're a president saying it's not my responsibility? Literally. Those words didn't come out of our mouths while we were in office. I don't understand his inability to get a sense of what people are going through. And one of the things that I have always known about you, Joe, it's the reason why I wanted you to be my vice president and the reason why you were so effective. It all starts with being able to relate. If you can sit down with a family and see your own family in them, then you're going to work hard for them. And that's always what's motivated you to get into public service? Yeah, Barack Obama endorsements do nothing for Joe Biden,

at least not for me, because, you know, then Biden just turns around and says things like Trump is the first racist president, as if 12 other presidents weren't slave owners, and as if other presidents didn't create racist legislation and policies. So, whatever. Okay, just November, hurry up and come, please. Let's figure this out. All right.

They also announced that there will be another fundraiser with Barack Obama for next week. They'll appear together again on Tuesday at a virtual fundraiser. And here's some more from this video. You know what it's like to be in the White House during a crisis. You know what it's like to have in the White House during a crisis. You know what it's like to have to get laws passed through Congress. You know what it's like to deal with foreign leaders. You know what it's like to make tough decisions and to take responsibility for it. And the thing I've got confidence in, Joe, is your heart and your character and the fact that you are going to be able to reassemble the kind of government that cares about people and brings people together.

You know, the saddest part about November, it just feels like the same old, same old. And now doesn't feel like a moment for the same old, same old. Now feels like a moment for radical same old, same old. Now it feels like a moment for radical change in leadership in this country. Old white male leadership has failed us. And the fact that we're back having to choose between two old white males just doesn't feel right at a moment like this.

It doesn't feel progressive at all. It doesn't feel like where the country is going. Right. But everybody, please make sure you get out and vote still. Kanye 2020! You better stop. In addition to that, and I know this has been an

ongoing discussion, what are we going to do about sending kids back to school? Here's what Donald Trump had to say during his coronavirus briefing. Some live with their grandparents. There's a real risk. Would you understand if some schools... Well, they do say that they don't transmit very easily, and a lot of people are saying they don't transmit,

and we're looking at that. We're studying John very hard, that they don't bring it home with them now. They don't catch it easily. They don't bring it home easily, and if they do catch it, they get better fast. Now, that feels like the toughest decision we're going to have to make this year.

No, sending kids back to school in there? Yeah, that's definitely a tough decision. The presidential election is not a tough decision. That is a tough decision. Am I sending my 12-year-old and my soon-to-be 5-year-old back to school in the fall? My oldest daughter, she's 12.

She told me she don't want to go. She said she don't feel safe. I am a person who trusts my instincts, so I have to trust my daughter's instincts in this situation. So if she's telling me she don't want to go, if that don't change, then I guess we're going to have to figure out this homeschooling thing. Yeah, I got a 7, a 6, and a 3. And I think I'm going to homeschool them.

I think I'm going to keep them home. Yeah, you know, but again, like for some people, they don't really have that option because they have to work. And so people are making choices like, what will I do with my kids if I have to work to make money? Where can my kids be? Who's going to watch my kids? So it is a lot going on as people are making these decisions. And, you know, Donald Trump's been holding these briefings and he hasn't had any coronavirus tax force members with him. I would have rather heard more information.

I don't know. Donald Trump was just saying things. And he says that he's getting briefed. So here's what he has to say about why he's doing these briefings by himself and where he's getting this information. Why the health experts are no longer joining you at these briefings? Can you explain why? Because they're briefing me.

I'm meeting them. I just spoke to Dr. Fauci. Dr. Birx is right outside. And they're giving me all of everything they know as of this point in time. And I'm giving the information to you. And I think it's probably a very concise way of doing it. It seems to be working out very well. They're very much involved.

They're very much with the relationships are all very good. Well, he doesn't realize how bad that's going to hurt him because when the information is wrong, which we know it will be, he can't blame it on anyone but himself because we see you. At least when Dr. Fauci and Dr. Burke is on the stage with you, you know, if something's not right, you can point to them and put the blame on them. But now since we only see you, yes, we already know it's your fault, but now we know it's your fault.

Well, he will still, I'm sure, continue to say it's not his fault. Even he'll say, well, this is the information I was given. Well, we got eyes and ears. All right, well, that is your front page news. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now when we come back, it's Throwback Thursday. CeCe Penniston will be joining us. So we'll kick it with CeCe Penniston. When we come back, so don't move, it's Throwback Thursday. CeCe Penniston will be joining us.

So we'll kick it with CeCe Penniston. When we come back, so don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. We have CeCe Penniston.

Welcome. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Morning. Good morning. I feel like there should have been some theme music playing or something. We have CeCe Penniston here. Finally. How are you quarantining? I'm sorry, I was going to say, how are you quarantining?

Where are you at? How's everything going in this pandemic? Man, I'm in Arizona. Everything is, you know what? It's been a lot of different things going on. I've had some people that were dealing with COVID, a couple of people in the hospital,

just trying to be even more creative, you know, staying to myself, do a little spiritual growth, you know, just working on me, enjoying the time

when I can. You know, when you're traveling for years, y'all already know being in the music business, it's like, dang, I finally get a chance to like be home for a minute, kind you know have a woosah for a second it's not the

woosah i asked for but at least i get a you know i get a second to like you know yeah you know cc i wanted to ask you i know in the 90s you had a five number one hits on the on the billboard dance charts can a person sustain financially forever with that? Why not? I've still been getting my royalties for 30 years off of Fyme. Okay. Ever since Fyme came out in the 90s, I still get my royalties from it now. Is it the royalties I

should be getting? No. But however, yeah, you can get paid off of it. That's why, you know what, that's why people are so funny about doing publishing and doing their paperwork and everything because people really don't know how artists can really be taken care of by their body of work. When you did your first contract, did you get got? Was it a horrible contract or did you know early on?

You know what? Actually, I didn't have a horrible contract. What happened was I finally started gaining some success, and then things started changing around after people kind of started seeing where finally went. And actually, what people don't know is I was recouped in 1997 with finally. So finally has been, like, good to me. And the other good thing that happened with finally is, when finally came out, and it's hard to see this,

but when finally came out, it was on the charts for 33 out of 52 weeks, which you don't see now because artists are putting out music, like, every three months. Like, our world is so euphoric. They want to hear music, like, all the time. So I think that's the difference now. Like, as then, you would work a record for, like, eight months. Now it's just, like, you know, every three months. People are putting stuff down every three months.

And you've been very, very vocal about making sure you do have your business in order because you had some accounting issues and business manager issues and all of those things to deal with early on. Yeah, definitely. You know what it is, Angela? When stuff happens at your own hand, it's different. When someone spends your money for you and gets you in a tax problem. Ooh, you want to get your gun. You know what I'm saying?

You know, the thing about it is when you first get in the music business, it's kind of like, hey, here's the accountant. Here's the lawyer. You don't know what you're doing. You just know that you want to sing. Right. Right. And then what happens after that is then everything starts happening from there.

The album was like, hey, we want you to finish the album within three months of you traveling. And I was like, oh, OK. Y'all want me to finish the album? OK. So in between gigs, I was going in the studio and stuff. Right. And and then finally had a different type of success because who would have known that like I'm still doing what I'm doing. In fact, this was funny, but when I first did it the first year i was only home for like three three weeks out of

the year and i wouldn't go get a house because i was like yo i gotta wait a minute because i don't know how long this is gonna last you know when did you realize your accountant was messing up your money because i think i read somewhere where they got you for like a million yeah uh he got me for a meal at least a mil or more, and then tried to tell me I owed him money, which was funny. I was like, oh, you real bold right now. I hope you sleep good at night. And then I realized I had a problem with him because my tax situation.

I realized he got me in a tax situation. I'm like, wait a minute, now I got to look into some other things. And, you know, it was kind of a real traumatic experience for me actually because you know you work all these years and you're like dang I've built a nest egg for myself and then you look back and see hey you know someone has made a choice for me that I didn't make right you know yeah what made you get into uh dance in the 90s why why why dance instead of like regular R&B? You know what? I feel like it just happened that way. It's funny because I was always the person that came to the different

contests, right? And I was the one slowing the party down when I did talent shows and karaoke contests and stuff before I got in the music business, right? And so when I got there, I had written, finally, it just kind of happened that way. Felipe, I had this melody in my head, and then I had the lyrics written down,

and I was like, hey, this is what I hear. And so he did the beat for it, him and RK, and what happened is what you hear now. Was dance big in Ohio when you was growing up? Was dance a big thing? Because that was like a New York uptown club type of thing. Was it big where you were from? You know what the thing about it is?

I grew up in Arizona more than Dayton. My father was in the military and so him being in the military I moved here when I was about like nine. And in Arizona there was no house scene. There was none of that. And so I found out later on that like New York, Chicago, all the house spots that people love to go to and they enjoy it.

And so, you know, it was something, like I said, it was a learning lesson. I had no idea about the house scene until I got into it. Yeah. Are you still into the house scene or you don't listen to house music no more? What? Hell yeah, I do. Look, I definitely listen to house. Definitely.

I'm a part of the culture. And, you know, so for me, it's like I'll never stop listening to it. But I do definitely listen to other types of music. You're a queen of the culture. Thank you. Queen of dance. How many guys try to holler at you that fit the description and finally? You know what's funny?

Okay. Thank you, Charlamagne, for the compliment. You know what? When I thank you charlamagne for the compliment um you know what when i when finally first came out i actually got married right away um i found him okay i found him girl i wrote about him and then i found him like right after i wrote about him so i had gotten right away and it was like dang your career just start you know why you get married right away and i was like oh he writes me poetry I want to you know I want to marry him I love him and then you know that lasted for about a year and I think it was you know me being on the road a lot and then you know uh not being at home brand new marriage and everything and it was like

this is not what I signed up for type of thing so you know keep on walking then keep on walking came out yeah girl I was like okay so it was like finally we got a love thing but keep on walking, then Keep on Walking came out? Yeah, girl. I was like, okay. So it was like, finally, we got a love scene, but Keep on Walking because we had a crazy love. So how my scenes were coming out was how my life was going, actually, which was crazy. All right, we got more with CeCe Penniston when we come back. It's Throwback Thursday. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with CeC Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with CeCe Penniston. Charlamagne? I think I read somewhere, too, that your royalties had gotten messed up. Let's see, messed up.

Not really messed up. So there's a lot of things I feel like that people don't know about the music business. Like, you can start. So the thing about it is when you start out with an original body of work, you start out with an original ISRC code. And along the way, there was like different things that happened. I can't speak on everything, but I will tell you there's different misspellings, there's different bodies of work. For instance, let me give you an example. The other day I was getting ready to post something. I go in a story and it says it has me and Bester Williams on the picture.

You can go look this up, right? On the side of it, it says CeCe Tennyson and the Four Tops. So when things like that happen, that's what happens. Right. I'm like, when I do a record with the Four Tops, what happens? You know what I'm like, we're not doing a record with the four tops. What happened? You know what I'm saying? So it was like, when you see stuff like that So that's a whole nother body of work. Now where someone has done something different. So it's like little, little ways that people slip stuff in.

Don't get your commission. Don't give you the right writer's credit or the greedy. Like I find that a lot of people are just greedy. Right. You know, for real. Who keeps track of that money though? Cause I know people, I don't know if that's like a publishing thing. Is it a, how do you figure that out and make sure you get your money?

The thing about it is I have lawyers. I have people that look over my paperwork. But at the end of the day, people can kind of do what they want to do. They can slant things a certain way to make it look a certain way. Or like, hey, this is what this was for. Or this is the account that that's going into. And a lot of times I feel like I've been misunderstood because people think I'm screaming or being unreasonable.

And I'm like, no, I'm not being unreasonable and I'm not screaming. I'm letting you know the real. But I try to also understand, you know what, it's still a business, but you still got to come like a business person whenever you're doing stuff. I saw you talking about Lizzo and saying that you like Lizzo and love Lizzo as an artist, but then there was that issue with her song

and with your song and the interpolation and all of that, so it wasn't an attack on her. It was just as an artist, you want to make sure you get what you're supposed to get. Well, whatever you read, Angela, is what it is. And what I'm going to say is i love

mizzo's music it sounds familiar so i will say that but the thing about it is i feel like right is right wrong is wrong whatever it seems to be um if someone takes okay let me ask you this is i'm the only one that has done a certain signature since I started. And somebody else does it. If that was you, that's like you doing a body work, doing some poetry or something. Someone starts reciting and then people think it's you. How would that feeling be?

Yeah, you feel like that's yours, absolutely. And originally, so I'm going to say this. I was just putting out a post like, hey, you know, I'm the type of person. I pay homage to people who I need to pay homage to on different things. Right. So it's just like, hey, fish, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was like more of just like a statement. I had no idea that it was really going to go as far as it did or like it was going to blow up like that. And I'm like, wait a minute. So, I mean, it is what it is.

I mean, y'all listen to music all the time. Y'all listen to, you know, different genres of music. I'm sure you can probably, you probably can't admit it here, but you might have heard some similarities or not. Yeah, you hear it all the time with certain music. I just assume that they got it cleared whenever I hear something like that. Yeah, we don't know. Do you have a team, though? Like, I know Sugar Hill Gang, they have a team of people that that's their job.

And all day they listen to see if people sample their type of records. Because I know you had, I think, a problem with Chris Brown and Joyner Lucas of possibly sampling your stuff. Do you have a team that goes out and listens for that? I have an absolute team. But once again, people can't plant things to be whatever. And I actually have writers credit on the Joyner Lucas and Chris Brown track. So certain things get cleared professionally the way that they should be.

And other things are just like, hey, we kind of like scoot over this way. Maybe nobody will say anything. And I'm not the first artist, and I won't be the last that this has happened to. I mean, I feel like the system has kind of been set up to, you know, be in favor of, you know, whoever signed you. You know, you're a business product at the end of the day to whoever signed you. And so you have to, you know, understand that that's what it is. But, you know, I just, I don't feel like I should have to be know understand that that's what it is but you know I just

I don't feel like I should have to be quiet if something isn't right although that means I'm somebody else's idea of what I should do did you ever take legal action against Chris Brown and Joyner Lucas like how did your name end up being in the writing credit well because

they actually used finally in the hook right and they used the melody Finally in the hook, right? And they use the melody line in the hook, and they call the song Finally. So I'm actually on the writer's credit. If you go to Genius.com, Charlamagne, you can see where the writer's credit and everything is on there. My name is on there. I saw what you said, Joyna, and Chris said they didn't take the proper steps to use the record, but I didn't know what that meant. No, I wasn't sure until I saw what I saw.

Oh, got you, got you, got you. I wasn't sure. Sometimes, you know what it is, the company has put out a body of work. They don't give me an announcement about what they're doing. And someone will be like, yo, I heard your song, blah, blah, blah, or I saw it on the show or whatever. And, you know, again, I'm supposed to be notified of those things.

And if you're not notifying me and you know you're supposed to, see, the system is not always set up to be in the artist's favor. It's just not. But if you own the record, shouldn't you have to sign off if you own the record? Shouldn't they have to sign off every time everybody's sampled? It should be you getting it. They have to clear it through you? That's what I think.

That's what I think, Envy. That's what my paperwork says. I got it. No, because you could be suing everybody's asshole. Because if you don't get the proper clearance, like I know certain artists, whether it's Prince or it's either Michael Jackson or certain accounts, if they don't get the proper clearance through them, if they don't get the okay, it's Prince or it's either Michael Jackson or certain accounts, if they don't get the proper clearance through them, if they don't get the okay, it's not going

to get cleared. Because I remember even when I did my album, like there were certain samples that we couldn't get the clearance. We asked the estate and the estate was like, no, it's too much cursing on it or it's secular music or certain things. And we couldn't get the clearance. Now we tried to play it over and do an interpolation. But if we did it, we had to clear it or we would get sued.

You know what? I wish I knew what the deal was, and I wish I could give you an answer on why they do that. Because I feel like I've had integrity in the things that I do or how I push stuff. Because why wouldn't you want the artist to actually push the body of work that you do? And especially when you know I'm recouped. You know I'm recouped. I pay my dues. This finally has been done.

Like, seriously, like, it's been on at least 5,000 compilations. Wow. Different artists have done stuff. If you go to Who Sampled Who, you can at least find 100 things of artists who have sampled my music from Travis Scott to Joyner Lucas to what Belton Wetzel to Parks did my song over. Adele did my song over. Adele did it in concert.

Lady Gaga did it in her tour. And so did Adele. So it's like I've been blessed to have a body of work that people still love. Because you know what? Everybody doesn't get that. So, you know. But it is one of those things like there's a lot of questions for me as well. Right. Like what?

What are the questions? The why. Like why y'all still, why? What are your questions? The why. Like, why y'all still, like, why can't we all eat? Why can't we all eat? Like, I don't understand when people, like, hey, I like to, I've learned. I will tell you what this did for me, though. I felt, you know, bullied by the whole situation, to be honest with you, because I can see what's wrong, but I can't fix it.

I can see when there's a mis-selling, or I can see when something came out. So what it did is it called me to be a better businesswoman, and I'm really, you know, I'll see something, and I'll be like, hey, I'm on top of it. So I learned my lesson. I mean, I think that's really all you can do. All right, we got more with CeCe Penniston when we come back. As a matter of fact, let's get into a mini-mix.

It's Throwback Thursday. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was the CeCe Penniston mini-mix. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with CeCe Penniston.

Charlamagne? You were also the first foreign female entertainer to perform in post-apartheid South Africa, right? Mm-hmm. Did I read that right? Yeah, definitely. You know what? And I enjoyed that. That was like a real

spiritual experience for me. And it's funny because they had asked me to come over before apartheid and I was like, no, I really don't want to come over before apartheid. And I ended up hitting the stage

and I was like, damn, you know, I'm in the motherland and I was like happy, you know what I'm saying? I was excited and, you know. So, by the way, y' was like, damn, you know, I'm in the motherland, and I was, like, happy, you know what I'm saying? I was excited, and, you know. So, by the way, y'all can ask me, you know, whatever else y'all want to ask me. Y'all don't have to be in the safe zone with me, just so y'all know.

And you don't have to be in the safe zone. Because Wikipedia, I feel like they're so opinionated. I've never seen two pages with opinionated, okay, opinionated attitude in the Wikipedia. You know how they usually just give the info? Right. What does Wikipedia say? What does Wikipedia say?

Let me go look at your Wikipedia. What does Wikipedia say about you? I don't be going to Wikipedia. Let's see what's on there. Oh, CeCe done did so much. She performed at private engagements for Aretha Franklin's private birthday party. She performed for Pope John Paul II

at the Vatican. Thank you. Thank you. Wow. Thank you. I knew about South Africa. Let me find the dirt. Let me see.

Let me see. We got to go to controversy. Oh, look. Here we go. Look. Oh, they got controversy? Oh, there it goes. Controversy.

It starts off with plastic surgery. So I'm going go. Look, I'm going to start with plastic surgery. So I'm going to say this. I'm going to say this. Sometimes when people see me, they don't really ask me the questions that they really want to ask me sometimes. They stay in the safe zone with me. And I know it's a form of respect and I appreciate it. But I want people to ask me the questions that they want to ask me.

Okay. So what happened with you and Monica? You and Monica had a beef? I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. I see that. with you and Monica? You and Monica had a beef? I see that. You know, we usually don't go to Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is usually a lot. They lie sometimes. But what happened with you and Monica? Oh, it really wasn't a beef. So this is what happened, right? I feel like

it was a miscommunication or did anything. Me and Monica, this was before Monica had gotten in the business. I was at a performance and she had come up to me and i had to end up leaving you know you had to be like hey we gotta go she thought i was shading her but i really wasn't shading her right but that's how she felt so later on um and i loved all her music this was i love all her music right so i ended up um i ended up uh hearing that she had a beat for me

and i was like what no i didn't know she had a beat for me like in my mind i don't remember the situation going down that way but since she felt that way i said let me address it so i dressed it i put a letter out i sent something to her and it ended up on the jasmine brand and so i was like oh okay i was like and she and she wrote me back she wrote back, and we were cool after that. That's good. You know what I'm saying? It was cool.

So, yeah, definitely. It was a misunderstanding. Yeah, more of a miscommunication. Like, she felt like I was being funny style, and I was like, nah, sis, I wouldn't be in funny style to you. I mean, I love your body, what you mean for good stuff. Do you have a reputation for being rude to people? I have a reputation for being direct.

I'm just wondering. No, listen, I was excited. I said, Sissy Pennison, you know. But I know people always tell me this. They'll be like, well, Angela, people treat you differently than they treat other people. So that's why I was asking that. I don't think so.

I feel like I'm direct and I feel like I just like I feel like sometimes people are abrupt with me and then I have to soldier up and be like okay is that what we doing like what I've noticed during pandemic and if you pissing me off sometimes people be like yo I need this and you feel like oh how you doing today yeah how's everything how's the family? Is your family good? You all right? Like, they just keep coming at you like any type of way. And so, you know,

I feel like people are insensitive during this time when we have a lot of sensitivity going on in a whole wide world. You know what I mean? Right. Now, why does plastic surgery come up when it says controversies? Have you had a lot of plastic surgery? Is that something that that's? Have you had a lot of plastic surgery? Is that something that's big?

I don't understand why that's coming up. I had lipo done, and I put it out there that I had lipo done, but I also got on a weight loss plan and started working out in the gym and all that stuff, but I ain't funny style about sharing it. Right, because you can't do lipo and not work out after. That won't work out. It might start going about sharing it. Right, because you can't do life and not work out after. That won't work out. It might start going to other places. Right. So I decided to get in shape and, you know, get on the lifestyle type thing, work out.

Now, you've also been really open about miscarriages, too. And you've been open about suffering from miscarriages. How many did you have? Five. That had to be a really difficult time for you as well definitely I was definitely a traumatic experience but it was with the same man by the way just so you know but the thing about it was it's like I had to cover those things and sometimes when I looked heavier it's like my boobs was full because I was just pregnant and people didn't know that or I was heavier.

Or my mindset wasn't right and my spirit was off because I just felt, you know, some type of way. But, you know, artists, our job is to make your our job is to make your bad day a good day. So I learned how to cover because that's what people want to see. They don't want to see you up there complaining or talking about how you feel. You know what I mean? Yeah, but then that's part of the healing process, too, to be able to express how you really feel instead of having to cover that as well. Because people can't relate to it.

I always say you only have to tell the truth one time, and then you're able to heal from that point. Other people may have their judgments about it, and the reason I didn't really talk about it sooner is because I felt like people would not really understand how I felt about it. I had to get over it first so that if somebody said something off or felt some type of way, I could say,

hey, that was then, and this is now. How does a person heal from that, though? Because not only are you reliving that trauma from one miscarriage, you keep getting traumatized because they keep happening. How do you heal from that? You know what? I would always say this. There's always a little part of me that wonders and wishes and says,

what if I had children, how my life would be different? However you get to a place and say that, you know what? God just had another thing for me to do. He had another mission for me. And so I had to get to that place first so I could just get to the healing part. But it wasn't easy. I mean, I still have moments where I get emotional about it, where I'm like looking at something like, dang, I wonder how that would have turned out, you know? Yeah.

Yeah. And you did say you suffered from out, you know? Yeah. Yeah. And you did say you suffered from depression also, right? Yeah, definitely. You think those things were related? Was it? I think it was an accumulation of things at the time. That's when I had found out the stuff about the accountant and it was the babies and so your money's funny

and now I got to be an entertainer. my money's funny and I'd have been pregnant now I gotta go perform and and then I'm not getting the same pay grade that I was getting before and I was agitated and my feelings were hurt and then your marriage is weird because you become a stranger to that person because now you're out on the road and so y'all don't really get to communicate the way that you really need to communicate so um all those things just made it weird for me what helped you um just saying that i try to wake up one of my things i do is i write poetry um late at night and i keep it to myself. The other things is like I journal and I just say, Hey, you wake up tomorrow differently. And I've kind of used that like, Hey, you get a day to go to hell off or feel some type of way. And I isolate.

So people always tell me, Hey, you're so animated all the time. Right. And I'm like, I know I said, but I have my quiet moments too. So sometimes I just take time to myself. We appreciate you checking in, Cece. Thank you so much. I thought y'all was really going to get me this morning. No, that's never the goal, Cece. I thought y'all was going to get me this morning.

No, Cece, we respect you so much. Y'all love me? Yes. You know I'd be excited. It's Cece Pennison we got here, okay? Even if it's respect and love, though, we can only get you on what's out there. That's right. Making stuff up.

You good. You clean out here. Yeah, you clean. You good. Good. Thank you. That's what's up. Well, CeCe, thank you for joining us.

It's CeCe Penniston. All right. Thanks for having me on, y'all. 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 Kim Kardashian.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Yes, so Kim Kardashian took to social media to let people know what's happening with Kanye. She said, as many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand. I've never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I'm very protective of our children and Kanye's right to privacy when it comes to his health.

But today I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health. Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. So he wants you to know, she wants you to know that living with bipolar disorder does not diminish or invalidate his dreams and his creative ideas, no matter how big or unobtainable they may feel to some this is part of his genius and as we have all witnessed many of his dreams have

actually come true and she's absolutely right you know and even though Kanye has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder uh I don't want you know anyone to act like this hasn't always been Kanye West exactly what she said is true the same thing that makes him Kanye is what's got people mad at him now. He's got an album coming out Friday, a movie, a new sneaker. He wants to run for president, and he thinks he can win. So he's doing what he always does when he wants to do something, telling the whole world about it in a very grandiose, nut-ass way. But it tends to work for him most of the time.

Damon Dash is actually with Kanye right now at his Wyoming ranch. And he's saying that Kanye is not crazy. And he said people think he lost his mind just because he cried. The way he lost his mind and jumped on a jet. And then jumped off the jet to come back to his 40,000 acre ranch. Yeah, I'd like to lose my mind like that. He said there's definitely people around him that love him. And he's going to be alright. We are praying. We are working. People think like we lose my mind like that. He said there's definitely people around him that love him and he's going to be all right.

We are praying. We are working. People think like we are in an insane asylum, but we got an album coming out. Yeah. And also Kanye is a crier. He cried when Virgil, you know, became the head of Louis Vuitton. He cried when he reunited with, you know, Kid Cudi on stage.

He cried in an interview with Kendra G on WGCI. It's just so weird that we've been watching Kanye do these things all the time for years, but now when we don't agree with him, he's all of a sudden crazy. No, I wouldn't say that

that's the reason why. Some of the tweets that he put out on his Instagram about his family and I'm trying to lock him up and all that, that just seems like maybe he needs some help. Maybe he needs a hug. Maybe he needs to speak to somebody. That doesn't necessarily mean crazy. It just means he's going through something right now and he needs help. And his wife said he's bipolar.

We know he's bipolar. Or maybe they just need a marriage counselor. Or maybe something needs to happen. Or maybe, you know what I mean? But definitely something. Well, Damon Dash also said people watch the rally and think he's crazy, but that's how the average person thinks. Everyone that listens to him who thinks he's crazy is not a billionaire.

But some reason Elon Musk doesn't think he's crazy. I don't think he's crazy. Billionaires don't think it's crazy because he talks that Billy talk, and most people don't talk that talk. He speaks like the general to people that are generally soldiers. You know, Steve Jobs had one of the best quotes about crazy. You know, Steve Jobs says the people who usually change the world are the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can do it. It's a whole thing on YouTube called the crazy ones.

It's actually I might post that today, by the way. All right. And Kim Kardashian's meeting with Meek was not a one on one meeting. Just the FYI. As you know, Kanye tweeted about that, that they met at the Waldorf Astoria. They were joined by Clara Wusai, who, as you know, she's one of the Nets, one of the, what do they call it now since you don't say ownership? What's the word you're supposed to use? Partnership? One of the boards.

All in ass. I don't even know. All in ass person. Yes, for the Nets. So she was present as well. So that's it. By the way, that's just straight insecurity. That's just straight fragile ego that you thought your wife couldn't go to a hotel and have a meeting with somebody and actually handle business.

As if hotels are not meeting places for a lot of people. Right. Waldorf, come on, bro. All right. Now, let's discuss Drea. She was recently doing an interview with Van Lathan. And when she was asked about Meg Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez, here's what happened. I predict that they had some sort of Bobby and Whitney love that, you know, drove them down this snapped-esque type of road.

And I'm here for it. I like that. I want you to like me so much you shoot me in the foot, too. But what the wall? You want you what? I want you to like me so much that if I'm trying to get out the car and you're like, no, sit your ass in the car. And I'm like, no, I'm getting out the car. and you're like, no, sit your f***ing ass in the car. And I'm like, no, n***a, I'm f***ing getting out the car. No,

you're not. Salute to my guy Van Laten, though, but we gotta give my man Sterling Brim, that's his podcast. That's Steele O'Brim's podcast. I think it's called Wine and Weed, if I'm not mistaken. Salute to my guy Steele O. Y'all know Steele O from Ridiculousness, right? Yes, we do.

That's his podcast. What did you think, E? I think that's a terrible thing to say. Nobody wants that test. Not love at all. I would not want that. I would never want anybody to do anything like that. And, you know, Meg Thee Stallion's been very, the only thing she has said is that she doesn't like these jokes.

She's seriously going through some trauma, which she will talk about when she's good and ready to talk about it. So, you know, all you can do is say, look, we're just praying for Meg. We don't know exactly what happened. And she did respond. Meg Thee Stallion took to Twitter and said, and F all the whole ass N-Words making jokes about it, too. I'll talk about ish when I get ready.

Dumb bitch, that ish ain't effing funny. Who the F jokes about getting shot by an N-Word? And by the way, Dreya did apologize after that, just as an FYI. She did say that she was sorry and that she should not have made a joke about that. I feel sorry for anyone dealing with trauma in the social media era. You can never properly heal if you keep checking your mentions. And yeah, what Drea said was stupid.

And the sad part about that is, if God forbid a man ever violently attacks Drea she will get no sympathy from social media in fact they will be on there saying oh that's what you wanted that's what you that's what you wish for that's what you like right so yeah well Drea said it was a prediction guys I have no idea what really happened and I hope nothing but the best for both of them and I really shouldn't have been joking about it. It's a foul for me. I truly don't glorify domestic violence.

I was trying to say just love me deeply, but while trying to be funny, I offended many, including Meg, and I'm sorry. She knew that in the moment. Okay, by the way, that's a pre-taped podcast. That could have been edited as well. She could have asked to got that taken out. It's not like Van didn't correct her in the moment. So she knew it was wrong. Van told

her, they're going to light your ass up. It's going to go viral. She wanted that out there. She got what she wanted. Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? You know, I need the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, to come to the front

of the congregation. Would you like to have a word with him, please. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day.

I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mix up. So like a donkey. He hung. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Donkey of the Day for Thursday, July 23rd

goes to the presumptive Democratic nominee for President Joe Biden. Vice President Joe Biden. I really wish Joe Biden would shut the F up forever and continue to act like he's starring in the movie A Quiet Place because as soon as he opens his mouth and makes noise, he gets us all killed. OK, it's already so many people who are reluctantly only voting for Joe Biden because he's the only option. And because Donald J. Trump is that trash. In fact, back in early June,

there was a poll done that showed out of people who are registered to vote and would vote for Biden. 37% are enthused about voting for Biden, but 60% are more enthused about voting against Trump. Now on the flip side, out of the people who would vote for Trump, 70% are enthused about actually voting for Donald, okay, about actually voting for him, the rest just want to vote against Biden, okay, I think it's like 27% or something like that, the moral of the story is people aren't enthused about Biden, they just don't like Trump, and that's not good. That's not a great motivator. That's not something that makes you get up on election day and say, hey, I have to vote. And when Joe Biden says certain things, he causes even more of a lack of enthusiasm. Case in point yesterday, America is tired. OK, we're tired and we're fed up and we're really fed up with old

white male leadership. OK, old white male leadership has gotten us to this point. That's the reason we're in the situation that we're in right now. Doesn't matter if it's Democrat or Republican, local or federal, old white male leadership has failed America. And there is nothing worse than an old white male who can't recognize the faults and flaws of other old white males. We live in a country where everyone now is trying to act so woke. They're acting like they see us.

Okay, they are acting like they see what's really going on in this country as if the veil has been taken off. And it's very hard for me to believe they are sincere simply because they won't acknowledge how we got here. How we got here in this position is systemic racism. How we got here is systemic oppression. Racism is the American way. Donald Trump is not the first and sadly he won't be the last.

He's just more overt with his racism than most presidents we've had in recent times. That's why when Joe Biden incorrectly refers to Donald Trump as America's first racist president, okay, like he did yesterday during a virtual town hall hosted by the Service Employees International Union, we have to check that immediately, okay? Can't have

no revisionist history here. Saying Donald Trump is the first racist president is a lie. Okay. It's a lie that relinquishes America of all responsibility of its bigotry. Listen to what Joe Biden said, please listen. What president Trump has done, his spreading of racism, the way he deals with, with, with people based on the color of their skin, their national origin, where they're from, is absolutely sickening. No sitting president has ever done this. No Republican president has done this. No Democratic president. We've had racists, and they've existed.

They've tried to get elected president. He's the first one that has. How are we ever going to atone for America's original sins if we don't acknowledge them? Now, I graduated from Berkeley High School in Moss Corner, South Carolina. Drop on a clues bomb for Berkeley High School. Okay, I graduated two years behind schedule. I was supposed to be class of 96. I was class of 98, and I graduated in night school. Okay, got kicked out of two high schools.

All right, Berkeley High School and Scrafford High School. So I am not the smartest or strongest Avenger. But with my limited formal education, I know that the USA may have been founded on the idea that all men are created equal. But in the 18th and 19th century, that was malarkey. All right. B.S. How could all men be created equal in a country where black people were looked at as three fifths of a human being?

You didn't even look at us as a whole human. So how could we ever be equal? Not to mention slaveholding was far too common back then. All right. In fact, so much so that 12, count them, 12, a whole dozen chief executives, heads of states, presidents, whatever you want to call them, owned slaves. How the hell can Donald J. Trump be the first racist president in a country with 12 presidents before him owned slaves? What you going to tell me? Slavery wasn't racist? It was just business? Do you want me to grasp the cultural context of what the times were?

Miss me with all that. Slaves built the White House. Okay, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson all owned several dozen slaves. Martin Van Boren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and James K. Polk all owned slaves. Okay, George Washington, Mr. Dollar Dollar Bill, y'all. All right, had 300 male slaves on his plantation. Dude on the nickel, okay, Thomas Jefferson,

even though he once called slavery an assemblage of horrors, he had 175 slaves, and this is why you can't let them get away with saying slavery was just business and the culture was different back then. They weren't racist. They were just men of the times.

No, no, no. Dude on the nickel, Thomas Jefferson, said racism was an assemblage of horrors. They knew exactly what they were doing and why they were doing it. Okay, Zachary Taylor owned 150 slaves when he was in the White House. All right, Andrew Johnson and Ulysses S. Grant also owned slaves. The moral of the story is Donald J. Trump is not the first racist president. He's the latest

racist president. Like, come on! We had presidents who ruled over a country where black people, Native Americans, Latinos didn't have the right to vote. Andrew Jackson called abolitionists urging black equality unconstitutional and wicked. Thomas Jefferson said in his book, Notes on the State of Virginia,

if every black slave were ever freed, they should be deported because he believed black and whites could not live together peacefully. Woodrow Wilson worked to keep blacks out of Princeton University while serving as the school's president. And when he became president of the United States of America, he refused to reverse the segregation of civil service, even though he won the White House with the support of some black men. Even Lyndon B. Johnson, who I would like to see Joe Biden be as far as policy and legislation when he gets in the White House. Even Lyndon B. Johnson, who on paper was probably the most progressive president in regards to race relations ever. In tapes of private conversations, he routinely used racist rhetoric to describe black people he appointed to key positions. You know, Joe Biden, I know that you said in 2020, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black.

It seems to me that in the 18th and 19th century, you could not be president if you ain't racist. I ask again, how will America ever atone for its original sins if it won't even acknowledge them? Joe, you got to hurry up and announce your black woman VP so I can be enthused about voting for her because I will never be enthused about voting for you. And you know America is in a terrible place when Kanye West seems like a viable option. Okay. America, we need a change. I don't know how we ended up in a position where in November we have to vote for two old white males again.

Okay. The option is old white male leadership again, but we are here and the country is at a tipping point. The energy of change is all around us. America is going in a new direction, but the ballot on November 3rd does not reflect that at all. Could you please give Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president in 2020,

the biggest hee-haw? All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, hit Yee right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Frank. Frank, what's up, brother? What's your question for Yee? So, I'm actually with my two friends right here. And we're all talking to the same girl. And we don't know what to do about it.

Wait, you guys are all dating her? No, like, we all met her through school and like she's kind of leading us all on and we all like her and we don't know what to do about it it's really not up to y'all it's up to her well i mean but she's like messing with all of us what do you mean by messing with and leading all like what what is she doing? We're, like, in an entanglement. Is she going on dates with any of you? Have any of you kissed her? Okay, so you've all, and you guys have all kissed her?

Yeah, like, everything. Okay, and she just hasn't chosen any one of you? Nope. And you guys, all three of you would like to be in a relationship with her? Yeah, we don't know. We don't know how to figure it out, like what to do, like who got her. Well, first of all, it's really not y'all decision. It's her decision is what it sounds like.

Okay. So it's not that you don't know what you should do. You're waiting to find out what she does. Now, if any of you feel like it's affecting your friendship and you want to step back and say, you know what, I'm not doing it. It's kind of like there's something about Mary. Did you ever see that movie? Yeah. It's kind of like that. Is it affecting your friendship?

No, we're all kind of chilling. But she's been doing this for like a while now. She's not really picking any of us. Well, y'all kind of like... We should decide between us who the two are going to back off off I don't think it's up to you guys it's up to who she likes and you know personally like if you are in a one-on-one situation when you're talking to her you should let her know look I'm not cool with this I feel

like you got to figure out which one of us you want to talk to because two of you could back off and the one left could not be the person she wants to be with. But that's not fair to us because she's just leading us all on. Yeah, but you guys are allowing yourselves to be let on. You know what the deal is, right? Everything's on the table. So that's why I wanted to say two of my friends back off and then one together. How do you decide that? Maybe like a fight.

I don't know. Listen, it sounds to me like she has all the power in this situation, but when you are in something like this and the person is being honest, you know everything, you can't blame anyone but yourselves. So as long as she's being honest with you, you know what the deal is. If you want to try to hang in there, maybe it's

challenging for you, maybe you don't really like her like that, whatever it is, the ultimate decision is on her. And at least she's not lying. So you could say it's leading you on, but you know what's happening. If you ask her, which one of us do you like the best, what does she say?

She doesn't really answer. She kind of avoids the question. All right. How old are you? I'm 18. Oh, well, you guys are still young. Well, may the best man win. May the best man win.

Can we just fight for her? All right. Can you shoot us something on Instagram so I can see what all of you look like? well may the best man win may the best man win can we just fight first alright can you shoot us something on Instagram so I can see what all of you look like I want to see who might win this fight

alright bet no but seriously don't fight over a girl it's just you know maybe there's somebody else out there for one of you or whoever it is

but right now you guys none of you are in a relationship y'all all just dating the same girl and she has the power, so more power to her. I guess you're right.

Alright. Guy's been doing this forever. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee.

It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's happening, man? What's going on?

What's up, bro? What's your question for Yee? My question is, is that me and my shorty, we've been separated for about seven months now. And, you know, kind of forced me my shoulder we've been separated for about seven months now and um you know kind of forced me to uh we've been living together and it forced me to live with family members while we work on our issues um but i've been still paying our bills still paying rent still doing this and that up there but she won't let me back in the house

i won't let you know give me any leeway to make it seem like it's going to get better i just want to know when is when is the point where I got to say enough is enough and I have to just focus on myself. We have a one-year-old together. I try to keep our family together, but it just doesn't seem like that's not what she's interested in. She always keeps saying, I just need to find myself. Things haven't been happy for me in the past year.

I try to do everything that I possibly can as a man to make her feel loved, supported, make her feel like a woman. But it's just, you know, you whine and dine. I'm doing all of these things and it seems like it's getting nowhere. And, you know, we're not intimate in the past seven months. I've held it down for the past seven months

just trying to let her know how much I love her and I support her, but when is enough? Well, your one-year-old lives with her, right? Well, actually, you know, it's kind of crazy. Since she's finding herself, our daughter's kind of been with me for the past two and a half months, so it's kind of been

a week-to-week type of thing, and then it kind of shifted to where she's kind of been with me for the past two months. And your child is only one. Do you feel like she's gone through, like, maybe some postpartum depression? Well, you know, obviously, you know, I didn't play the best part in it. You know, like I said, you know, I made my mistakes.

Yeah, you know, I made my mistakes. You know, I'm not going to say, like, I cheated. But, you know, I maybe kind of fiddled around it, maybe had some text messages that probably shouldn't have been, you know, been spoken about. And when did this happen? This happened about three years ago. Okay. So she's kind of just been holding on to something that has been bothering her for the past three years.

And trust me, I've been in that doghouse then. So I've just been doing the best that I can to just not ever have to worry about looking back in the past and focus on trying to better the future. But I just don't know where to the point where I have to say, you know what, even though I love this woman so much, it's financially hurting me because not only am I living with a family member that I'm splitting bills with here, but I'm also paying for her bills to make sure she's straight as well, but she won't let me back in the house. She doesn't want to, you know. Have you guys tried to get

professional help, like go to therapy together? You know, it's so crazy. You know, it's like I've even came to her and I was like, you know what? What could I possibly do to show you how much I care? Actually, a family friend told me that him and his girlfriend went through a certain situation and she mentioned therapy and he thought it was mad corny to be completely real with you,

but he gave it a try. He said that was probably one of the best things that's ever happened in their relationship was for them to talk to somebody about their problems. And I mentioned it to her, and she's just a very, I don't want to say a very independent person where she feels like she don't need to talk to anybody about her problems. But, you know, I was trying to do anything that I possibly could to just show her that I was willing to make it work. Well, you know what? Maybe she needs to go individually herself first, you know, just to sift through some things that might be really personal to her. And you should actually get a reference for it from your friend, whoever they use that was beneficial and see if she can start going on her own. And it could be through Zoom right now. I

know a lot of people are doing a tele-mental health things right now. So she doesn't even have to leave the house to do that and see if that can help. But it could be some postpartum depression as well. You know, she has a one-year-old and it might be something that she hasn't even been able to identify herself. And I think it's great that you've been supportive. You know what your role is and, you know, you guys having issues in the relationship. Now it's time to fix these things. And, you know, I think that she should definitely get some professional help. And then as a family, you guys need to do that because you have a one-year-old. So more than just it being about your relationship with her, it's about your relationship as a family.

So whether or not you guys will end up together, you want to make sure that you can function for the sake of this child. Absolutely. And so I would approach it that way. And maybe a better approach is also not necessarily trying to repair the relationship, but for her to be able to figure out what it is that she needs to keep, things she needs to find herself. So maybe as an individual, she needs to figure out her happiness and what is really bothering her. And it could be postpartum. And those are things that she needs to work out on her own before she can even be part of a relationship. I always feel like as individuals, we need to be comfortable in ourselves before we

can be with someone else. Should I look, should I even look forward to even trying to return back to the home? It sounds like she's the one that really, really needs some support right now. And with the woman's body and her hormones and everything that she's going through from having had a baby not that long ago, it could be something that is really difficult. And I think it's just important for you to be supportive of her right now because it feels like she's the one really in need. And I understand financially, you know, it's been hard and it's been a struggle for you, but this is a period of time right now where she needs your support the most, and the support should come in the form of I just want you to feel good.

It's not even about sometimes we sacrifice that for periods of time, right, because you want her to feel better. So I think in this situation, it's more about her. Understood. So basically, I just got to focus on just making sure that it's not my time. It's about what she wants. Yeah, make sure let's get her back to being happy because she's told you specifically that

she needs help and she needs to find herself. So because of that, it's not really about you at this time. And it could be, like I said, something she hasn't identified. So let's identify what that is. Let's get professional help for her. And you just be supportive. And it's be, like I said, something she hasn't identified. So let's identify what that is. Let's get professional help for her. And you just be supportive. And it's not about

when are we going to be together? I'm paying these bills. I want to be back in the house. You know, I think that'll just make it even worse if you bring those things up right now. I respect that. I appreciate you.

All right. All right. Be a good man. You got this. All right. Thank you. Y'all have a good day. All right.

Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. You too. All right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes. J. Cole has two new songs out, just like he promised. We got those previews for you. All right. We'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. listen up it's just in all the gossip gossip the rumor report

it's the rumor report the breakfast club yes so looks like Dave Franco is going to be playing rapper Vanilla Ice that biopic is called so far to the extreme that's the working title right now from a high school dropout selling cars in Dallas to having the first hip hop single to top the Billboard charts with Ice Ice Baby. A young Vanilla Ice struggles with stardom, extortion attempts and selling out as he makes music history. Hey, man, I'm here for that. My first reaction is not right now, but no, I'm here for that. We all own 2D Extreme and Vanilla Ice had a couple of records I really liked.

Ice Ice Baby is a tough tune, but boy, that goddamn Ninja Rap off the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle soundtrack, now that was fire. Dropping the clues bombs for goddamn Ninja Rap, baby. Ninja Rap. Ninja Rap? Go, Ninja, go, Ninja, go.

Go, go. Remember that? I do remember that. Yo, it's the green machine gonna rock the town without being seen. Have you ever seen a turtle get down, slamming and jamming To the new swing sound I didn't

I didn't Like it like that I just Like it enough But you know I don't know that much About Vanilla Ice Other than he had

That one huge hit song And I think Suge Knight extorted him Or tried to Throw him off the balcony Allegedly hung him off Yeah Allegedly hung him off

The balcony I'll be interested to see this And they said it'll be Kind of like how they took a liking to the Disaster Artist, which I thought that movie was hilarious. So, it's good. I mean, as long as you don't get a theatrical release, you know what I'm saying? As long as it's something like a made-for-TV movie, I'm fine with that. If it gets like a big-budget theatrical release, I'm screaming white privilege all goddamn day.

Okay? like a big budget theatrical release, I'm screaming white privilege all goddamn day. Okay. But I'm sure it'll bring up a lot of issues about like a white rapper topping the hip hop charts and all of those things. So I think it'll be interesting. All right. Now J. Cole has put out two new singles, just like he promised from his new album,

The Fall Off titled, they're called Louis Street, The Climb Back and Lion King on Ice. So let's hear a snippet from The Climb Back. is that combat delight. Magic, it pick me up and we gon' light the city up as if the sun had the night. And paint the town red for my niggas found there too soon. Yeah.

To the left of that decimal, I need seven figures to play the joint. Turn up your decibels. Peep how I decimate a joint. Check out my projects like them workers that sectionated points.

And you'll see how I flip like exclamation points. Sounds dope. Mm-hmm. And here is Lion King on Ice. I had to stop taking that bite. Put the jury to the side. Had to find me. Had to find God. Half the time we be passed by. What they expect from us. But that's treacherous. That shows less of us.

I need y'all to see every part of me. Every scar and every artery. Every story that I can recall. Then I can fall. I got blood on my hands. I ain't gonna lie. I got blood on my shoes. I ain't gonna lie.

I got real, real big plans. I ain't gonna lie. That sounds dope as well. I haven't listened to I got real, real big plans I ain't gonna lie That sounds dope as well. I haven't listened to either in its entirety. I have to be in a mood to listen to J. Cole. Yeah, I gotta listen to him too. It sounds pretty dope though.

So he posted it and he said it's available now. So you already know. So let's see how this goes because I see now people are like, okay, Kendrick, you see what J. Cole did. Give us some music.

And people are really hungry for music right now. I am definitely anticipating a new Kendrick Lamar album. Kendrick Lamar is, to me, the leader of the new school when it comes to this new generation. I know people like Drake and those guys sell more, get more radio play. But Kendrick is that guy to me. So I'm looking forward to a new Kendrick. Kendrick and Rhapsody are my favorite rappers of the past decade. Kendrick and Rhapsody.

All right. Now, Phaedra Park says her business is booming amid coronavirus. She talked to Page Six podcast, We Here. And she said it's going great because, you know, she's a mortician. So that mortician business is doing amazing. She said, I'm not a physician. However, I do have a mortuary. And I'll tell you this. Normally in the summer months, we're waiting for a boating accident or a motorcycle crash

because otherwise we're pretty empty. She said, we are jam-packed. We are working like it's our heaviest season. So I tell people when they say it's a joke, it's not that big of a deal. Well, let me put it to you in real terms. I'm getting 17 calls a day for pickups and that's at one location. Last week, all of the people were under 59. Damn. I mean, it sounds harsh, but it also sounds about right. It's sad, but she's profiting, but it's sad, man. People die.

That's just the reality of the world that we live in. And we need mortuaries, so. You need mortuaries. You'll never go out of business with a mortuary. No, not at all. All right. Real Housewives of Atlanta, in the meantime, is filming again, even with coronavirus. And they're taking all kinds of precautions for safety.

So some of the things that they're doing is they're doing temperature checks every day. That's for cast and crew members. If anybody has any coronavirus symptoms or a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher, they cannot film, plain and simple. And the show runners are implementing things to keep people safe. The plan is to film the housewives themselves in more outdoor locations rather than indoors if they

can help it and keep away from large crowds and stick to their immediate families as much as possible. And there's only going to be essential crew members around like camera people here and makeup. And they will only be around when absolutely necessary. The thing with taking people's temperature, it really people, hair and makeup, and they will only be around when absolutely necessary. You know, the thing with taking people's temperature, it really does, you know, there's so many

people that have it, that have no symptoms. So that taking temperature is, it's kind of like a protocol, but I'm sure there's so many people out there that have it, that don't have a temperature, that got spread that thing. So it's, you got to be safe, right? Even when my son goes to practice and they take his temperature every day and I'm like, yeah, but some of them kids might have no temperature. But I guess it's one indication.

So you can weed out some people that might have it. They have the two-day coronavirus test too, though. I mean, a lot of TV tapings that are happening. I will say, man, a lot of the TV tapings that I'm supposed to do, it does slow it down because it makes you realize what's important. It's things that I'm supposed to do, it does slow it down because it makes you realize what's important. It's things that I'm supposed to go tape,

and I'm like, no, I don't want to go anywhere because you pull up somewhere, you do a coronavirus test, they give it back to you, now you got to quarantine for 14 days. I'm cool. Well, the one we did when we were in Ohio, that was a 15-minute one. So you get your results back in 15 minutes.

Do they stick it in your nose? That's the one that's stuck in your nose and did the swab? Mm-hmm. Yep. I heard the anal swab was quicker, Envy. I'm thinking about it. No, I'm good. And let me tell you something. It was like a very nervous 15 minutes for us as we were waiting

to get those results because I was like, Lord, please don't make me have to go to a hotel and quarantine for 14 days because then you can't even travel and get back on the road. That's why I don't want that's that's why i would never ever take one of them fast hiv age results tests i'm old school i took mine back and i had to wait two weeks you got time to pray those are pretty right away right now effective it's like 15 minutes right yes right away you find out i just did one a couple of months ago. I do it every few months just because we do our HIV testing at the juice bar twice a year. You've got some time.

You've got some time to correct your wrongs. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. We're not going to talk about 4-4 Doug, 4-5 Doug. What's his name? 4-2 Doug. 4-2 Doug. He's from Detroit.

Okay. You want to talk about that fake story? Oh, it's fake? Yes. He wasn't really saying it. Oh, okay. Because he had a lyric where he said, what they said he said? I was just going to come to his defense and say, look,

we just watched Snoop Dogg and DMX last night. 4-2-Duck sounds like a 90s rapper to me. Because even if that was, even if they said what he said, he said, can you really beat all your mans that have been to jail before? Suck to my, and you can't remind me of a strip club. Every time you come around, I just got to get my, can you really? Come on, come on now. Let's not judge the young man. Somebody doctored up the song

and did that just to be funny. So that's not what the song really is. What are you thinking about, Charlemagne, today? What are you thinking about this morning? I just don't like when they give the young kids flack for things that our guys from our generation

did. And that was doctored. So shout out to 24 Dougie. What's his name? for things that our guys from our generation did, okay? And that was doctored, so shout out to 24 Dougie. What's his name? 4-2 Doug. 4-2 Doug. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, shout to CeCe Penniston for joining us. Yes, love CeCe Penniston. And listen, salute to DMX and Snoop Dogg,

Swiss Beach, Timberland for a great versus last night. Some of your favorite problematic rap tunes rang off last night. I got to salute Snoop Dogg for having the courage to play Bitches Ain't Shit. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, that song. Okay, we know it's so good. 2020. And also, man, you got to give DMX courage for doing Where the Hood At in 2020.

I just encourage y'all to go read the lyrics to the first verse of Where the Hood At. All right? That's all. Just go read the first verse. Okay? That's it. DMX, Where the Hood At. Read the first verse and then get back to me.

All right. I give them both courage for letting them problematic rap tunes play off. Okay? Hip-hop was much better when it was problematic. When we think of these verses, I think we'll always think about this pandemic too. Just how it all started and blew up during this time. It's really,

I think been something that's been such a bonding experience for people. And you know what it reinforces? It reinforces that appreciation of people. Cause I think that, you know, this pandemic has made us all appreciate life more, not just our own, but the people we love and care for. And that's what this Versus does. It makes you appreciate these artists that we grew up on. It really, you know, certifies these legends,

these icons in a real way. So yes, salute to Versus. And I also want to shout out everybody where I'm at because I'm actually in Mexico right now, in Playa del Carmen. And I'm at the Fives Beach Hotel. But I'm out here because Rohan Marley is opening up a beach house, the Ro Marley Beach House, at another Fives location that they're doing a grand opening for. So it's not even open yet. So we'll be there.

And, you know, I'm just happy to be here. It's an amazing experience. I was kind of like not being able to go on vacation. You know, I don't have like a huge backyard outdoor area. So it's been nice to be here, able to go on my little rooftop and lay out and have a little pool here. So it's been really nice to just kind of get away. I was a little apprehensive about it, but I think with all the precautions people are taking, you know, and then I can go home and I live by myself so I can quarantine when I leave here. So I feel good. I'm happy.

All right. When we come back, we got the positive note. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note for the people. I do, man. I want to tell y'all, I have two that I want to do, actually, but I'm just going to go with one. I love and approve of myself. I want people to say that to themselves right now.

Say it. Repeat after me. I love and approve of myself. I appreciate all that I do. I am good enough just as I am. I speak up for myself. I ask for what I want. I claim my power.

Say that to yourself three times today, people. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. 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? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
