We almost there, baby. Well, for me, I always say the weekend starts on Thursday. So we here, damn it. I'll take it. We here. I'll definitely take it. Okay, life is what you make it. I always say the weekend starts on Thursday. So we here, damn it. I'll take it. We here. I'll definitely take it. Okay, life is what you make it. I'm making Thursday the weekend.

Okay. All right. All right. Now, last night, your president, Joe Biden, he addressed the world, the nation, I should say. I kept falling asleep. You and me both. And I hate when they clap after every bar. Everything.

And bars weren't fired. Yeah, I'm like, what did he say? Yeah, those bars weren't that fired for y'all to be doing standing ov clap after every bar. Everything. And bars weren't fired. I'm like, what did he say? Yeah, those bars weren't that fired for y'all to be doing standing ovations after every line. Come on now. But I kept falling asleep. I felt like it was a pat on the back fest. Every time he would say, they would clap. I don't know.

I meant to wake up and watch the highlights, but I guess I'll catch them this morning in front page news. Angela Yee, did you watch it? All right. No, you want to know the truth is, I know. I didn't even get a chance. I was traveling yesterday. I'm in Ohio right now. I flew into Detroit and then I drove like three hours.

Damn, so nobody seen it last night? You did. I mean, I had it on. It was watching me. It was watching me because I kept falling asleep. It definitely was watching me though. Yeah. I just kept seeing them. You know, you'd asleep, and then that's when you would wake up when everybody would stand up. It felt like I kept waking up every second but missing what he was saying.

Yeah, me too. Me, me too. All right. I'm still trying to get this soccer thing in. I'm trying to teach my son how to play soccer, but I never played soccer. So I just learned how to actually kick the ball because I was kicking the ball the wrong way. I was kicking the ball on the side of the foot.

I don't know why I thought that was the way to do it. No, but you kick it on. Anyway, but I've been trying to figure this thing out because my son is asking me, Dad, can you show me? But I really don't know how to show him because I never played soccer before in my life. So I'm trying to figure that out. Maybe you should get somebody to help. It's not the same. Like, you want to play soccer with your son, you know, when you want to try your best.

But I look like a huge F up out there. I look like me and Charlemagne when we did that TikTok the other day. That bad. I killed it. You did not kill it. Who told you you killed it? I went viral. When you go viral, that's when you kill something, right kids? That's not it. Killing's not always great.

Killing's not always great. Viral's not always great, by the way. That is true, too. Well, today's Throwback great. Killing's not always great. Via viral's not always great. That is true, too. By the way. That is true, too. Well. Today's Throwback Thursday. That's right. And Big Daddy Kane will be joining us. We don't have time to explain.

Ask your uncles. Ask your aunts. Ask your mamas. Ask your daddies. Maybe ask your grandmas. Ask your grandpas. Okay? We gotta explain a little bit.

Big Daddy Kane. Govans rapper. Legendary rapper. He influenced rappers like Eminem, Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls, just to name a few. He gets busy, huge in the 80s. He still has records that are still amazing.

That's your favorite artist sample. So we're going to kick it with Big Daddy Kane later on today. He's got a new podcast out too. Explaining his story. So he's here to introduce that podcast and tell us a little bit about his story, but not too much because, you know, he's got a podcast. That's right.

Yeah. All right. Front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about Joe Biden from last night. We did talk about this plan that he has, this $1.8 trillion plan. So we'll let him explain it.

All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Biden's first address to a joint session of Congress. Now, you know, he has this one point eight trillion dollar plan and we were discussing what was in that plan yesterday. So how is he going to pay for this? Well, here's what he said.

It's time for corporate America and the wealthiest one percent of Americans have just begun to pay their fair share. Recent studies show that 55 of the nation's biggest corporations paid zero federal tax last year. Those 55 corporations made in excess of $40 billion in profit. It's not right. We're going to reform corporate taxes so they pay their fair share and help pay for the public investments their businesses will benefit from as well. All right. In addition to that, he talks about white supremacism. I don't hear it. It will evolve way beyond Afghanistan. Those of you in the intelligence committees, you know well we have to remain vigilant against the threats to the United States

wherever they come from. Al-Qaeda and ISIS are in Yemen, Syria, Somalia, other places in Africa, in the Middle East and beyond. And we won't ignore what our intelligence agencies have determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today. White supremacy is terrorism. Oh, we knew that, Joe. What What you going to do about it, though? Right. And then he also talks about passing this George Floyd police reform bill by the end of May.

We've all seen the knee of injustice on the neck of black Americans. Now's our opportunity to make some real progress. We have to come together to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the people they serve to root out systemic racism in our criminal justice system and enact police reform in george floyd's name that passed the house already but let's get it done next month by the first anniversary of george floyd's death now chris uh chris colisa from cnn he wrote an editorial and he said that was actually joe b Biden's biggest miss of the night. Him talking about race because he said he didn't mention George Floyd in the ongoing efforts to reform policing in America until an hour into the speech.

And he said that seemed way too late for such a potent issue, especially since the Derek Chauvin conviction is so fresh on the mind. And because black voters were the key to Biden winning the Democratic nomination in 2020. Those are Chris Khaleesa from CNN's words, not mine. All right. Well, those are just some of the key takeaways. There was a lot more to it, of course, as you know. And they are saying that there could be a pill to treat COVID-19 available by the end of the year, according to the CEO of Pfizer. So they're working on this experimental drug to treat COVID-19 available by the end of the year, according to the CEO of Pfizer. So they're working on this experimental drug to treat that.

Somebody said, okay, well, they're not taking the shot, but there's so many of them popping pills. You stupid. It's all in the music. You know what I mean? You stupid. Maybe we can get a rapper to rap about it. Okay, let's give them that COVID pill.

You stupid. Now, what they're saying about this pill that you could take, it could be prescribed at the first sign of infection that it doesn't require you to be hospitalized or in critical care. We'll see. Would you rather take the pill or get the shot?

If you had a choice. Did they test the pill yet? Is it FDA approved and all that? They're testing it now. It's not available yet. They're saying it could be available maybe by the end of the year. Yeah, if I feel a a way about the shot i'm going to feel the same way about the pill yeah okay it's not about whether it's a shot or it's a pill it's about it being a new vaccine that people don't necessarily trust yet no matter what form you give them the vaccine in just don't trust well you know a lot of people have missed their second shot they're saying as

of early april more than five million people had missed their second shot, according to the CDC. Yeah. So even though a lot of people are eligible. Well, they said this first shot, it makes it a, the efficient rate is what, 85 to 87%. They say the second shot is the one that people usually have side effects or, you know, get sick. So, makes sense. I think people just scared. That's it. You're hearing

horror stories about the second shot. People saying they're sick for three or four days. I know people that have gotten balls palsy. What's the thing called? Bells palsy. Bells palsy. I know people that have gone into coma like situations because of the second shot. Yeah. Well can I just say

I got the first shot yesterday and then I read the article about the pill being available by the end of the year. You take Pfizer or Moderna? Pfizer. Okay. So you're not going to get the second shot. I did not take Johnson & Johnson. You're going to wait until the pill?

No, I didn't say I wasn't going to take it. I just said I'm nervous because, yes, everybody says the second shot is the one that's going to have you sit down for a minute. Yeah, like I said, my parents took both shots, no problem. Gia took both shots, no problem. I was the only one that got sick. Right, and my arm is sore today. I took it yesterday.

And so yesterday, nothing, but today my arm is sore. Yeah, Madison on YouTube, they say if you keep putting your arm in circular motion like every 15 minutes, it will stop your arm from being sore. I didn't do it. My arm was sore as hell. She did it and she was fine. So just a heads up.

Okay. Oh, yeah, I feel that. All right, I'll try it. Thank you. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you. Get it off your chest.

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I

discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out

You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. You? What's up, Trev? Trev! We were just talking about you. Hey, boo. How are you? How are you? Peace, sis. How are you? I'm you? Peace, sis. How are you?

I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I want to talk about Yee. Yes. So yesterday, the shorty I called in on asked Yee. I want to give her some advice. You know the one that did the loan? Yes. Now she's scared.

So some advice is you should wear white panties because you can't wear any other color drawers. When they say you're scamming, that's a jail. You going to jail? Now, Trav, I'm surprised that you are not more compassionate toward this woman.

She was devastated. She going to jail, ye? She out here doing PPP loan scams. If you're listening, you're going to jail. I ain't no front door. All these other businesses are only paying $500 of tax, and they're making billions of dollars.

You know what I mean? It's kind of messed up. What they got to do with her, though? Because all these other people are getting over on the system, but it just seems like the small person, the little guy, can't get over on the system. They should all get over, right? She don't got the protection. She don't got the complexion for the protection,

nor does she have the big bank resources to protect herself. She's going to jail as travesty. Her neighbor, she let her neighbor do it for her. You let Keisha from around the corner do it for you. You going to jail. You going to jail? I ain't gonna lie, it was hard because you saw all these people get into the money and then you're like, okay, I want to do that too.

Yeah, but that's like giving people excuses if you see everybody robbing the bank or you see everybody selling crack. You're still wrong. It's wrong. Don't get me wrong. I'm around people that for the whole last year

been doing PPP. We know, Trev. They ask me what I want to do and trust me, I wanted $150,000 but I ain't want to go to jail. That's all.

Simple as that. But I do feel like if she works out a payment plan and does that, maybe she can avoid it. Nope. She already committed fraud.

That might not save you. She already committed fraud. That might not save you. She already committed fraud. She has an awful layaway if she wanted to. That's right. All right, thank you. All right, y'all. Hello, who's this? Mark.

Mark, good morning. Get it off your chest. I was watching TikTok a few days ago, and this video popped up about a bunch of black people running around the neighborhood beating up every single white person. I never saw that video. I think you're lying. I don't believe you. I haven't seen it.

Send it to us. So let me ask you a question. I haven't seen get him. Is there another wiper? Is there another wiper? And it's legitimately being videoed. So let me ask you a question. I haven't seen the video. I don't even know if the video exists. And that video should disturb you, but so should the video of black people being killed by police officers. No, I agree with that.

A hundred percent. I feel like whoever caught that killed a black person should be put on death row. And I honestly with that. A hundred percent. I feel like whoever comes to kill a black person should be put on death row. And I honestly believe that. There's no right or wrong when it comes to either or. All I'm saying is if we're supposed to evolve out of this racism, how are we supposed to do that when this video is like what I just told you about? I'm not going to make stuff. So you think

death row? Hey, I'm not, I'm not, you're not wrong, but white people first. Okay. I think a lot,

I think everybody else has evolved except for the white supremacists, sir. I don't know if you realize that. A lot of us. I do realize that.

Oh, okay. I have, I have black children with my wife. So I, I know what you mean. I'm a father of six kids. Congratulations.

And I had that fear of them growing up with that racism. And if I hear anything like that, I'm the type of person to take action. And I don't care who you are. That's all we can do, brother. All we can do is call it out when we see it. All right. Well, thank you for calling. Where do you want me to send the video to?

What's the Breakfast Club email, Yee? Breakfast Club AM at gmail.com. Breakfast AM, okay. And by the way, if it's white supremacists getting beat up, I don't have a problem with that. I'm gonna tell you that right now. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

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

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. But, you know, I see that love has no color and the best people, the best talent are mixed. You know, you got Jinaiko, you got her, Angela, you need some mix. You got Jinaiko. You got her. Angela, he's a mix. Hey. Hi, Angela.

Oh, how's you guys morning going? What? It's been so far. What did he say? He just totally switched topics. What did he say? He said, how's everybody's morning going? Oh, everything's good.

What's your race, sir? What's your race? I'm Cambodian. Okay. The other thing about hurting the Spain is that, you know, he said that all Asians are middle class, but my dad from Cambodia went through a Cambodian genocide where millions of Cambodians that were killed moved over to Long Beach.

My whole family, we grew up off of government assistance. 95% of Asians I knew growing up in Long Beach were broke and poor. And, you know, it just kind of made me upset because everybody over here where I live at, we appreciate black folks, black people. I don't think you can ever generalize a whole race of people and say that this is what they are. That's true. Yeah, exactly.

Because I have a lot of black friends. Everybody don't wear weave. Love Missy Hustle. You said everybody don't wear weave. What'd you say? Nah, we like Missy Hustle. Man, we rock up and have these. Well, I mean, listen, we appreciate that, but always

remember you can love somebody's culture, but don't love them. And that's a lot of America does. A lot of America loves our culture, but don't love us. But salute to you, brother. Hey, what's up, Evie? Good morning, Evie. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning, Angela. Rick, what up, King? Hey, Rick. Yo, what's going on? Good morning. Hey,

Charlamagne, I don't know who you have planned to give Dom Kidd a day to take, but some way or somehow you gotta squeeze Tim Scott into this whole thing. I woke up and saw Tim on TV, too. I know he gave the rebuttal, but I didn't hear what he said. What did he say? Listen to me, man. He's crazy.

So politicians go online, on TV, they talk, they lie. What's more important than being a politician is actually being a black man. And for him to go on TV yesterday and rebut and say that America is not a racist country is a slap in the face to everybody. He went on TV yesterday and said he knows what it is to get pulled over for no reason. He knows what it is to get followed in the store. But America is not a racist country. So why was he getting pulled over for no reason and following the story?

Yo, he's the only black Republican in this city. Yeah, I know Tim very well. Tim is my guy. Me and Tim, you know, you're from South Carolina. You're from North Charleston. Tim is my man. From South Carolina and America is not a racist country? Yeah, I don't understand that at all.

That was very, very insulting. And I don't understand that at all. That was very, very insulting. And I don't know how we can make progress if we still have people that think like that, still won't accept the truth and try to work on it instead of brushing it under the carpet and pretending like it never happened. Like, the civil rights movement was just in the city, bro. I agree.

Right. And that minimizes everybody else's experience. And drink water from the same fountain and you're going to tell us that it's not a racist country? I agree. Besides apartheid in South Africa, Jim Crow was the most racist institution ever

set up. I don't understand. Rick, I agree with you. We have to tell the truth and shame the white devil. Yeah, and for him to go on as a black man and say a man and say i'm i'm i'm infuriated by it because i can't believe he did that so i mean as a politician you can go on there play what kind of mind games you want but you're still playing with people's freedom when you say stuff like that you're playing with your own freedom you're playing with your own liberation that's what i don't understand i don't understand

black people who do that because they're real they're literally playing with their own liberation. That's what I don't understand. I don't understand black people who do that because they're literally playing with their own freedom and their own liberation and their family's future's liberation. And stopping everybody's progress. Like,

you're trying to confront the idea and you're still trying to take us back into the yes or false period. I just do a false period. Like, come on, man.

So give him Dr. J. If you don't, I'm going to give him a tour. Let me go check it out. All right. Thank you, Rick. So give him Dr. J. Somehow, if you don't, I'm going to give it to him. Let me go. Let me go. Let me go check it out.

Thank you, Rick. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes. And we'll talk about an iconic hip hop artist who has her memoirs on the way. All right.

We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Turn the goddamn mics on. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy. It's time for Rumor Report.

We're going to discuss Lil' Kim. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Lil' Kim has a book coming out. It'll be out November 2nd. So I cannot wait to read the Queen Bee memoir. And that's going to be exciting. She said, I'm excited to finally get to tell my story after all this time.

Many people have thought they knew the story of Lil' Kim, but they have no idea. I'm here for everybody from the 90s um you know to write a book i saw ray kwan doing from staircase to stage those 90s stories are amazing that was a golden era in hip-hop i want to hear all their stories so salute to little kim yeah i can't wait to hear a little kim story i know i gotta get a copy of that book in advance um and it's also co-written by Cathy Ondoli. She is a really well-known journalist in this business. I would love to see Kim on the Versus. I don't know who she would battle, but I would love to see her on the

Versus. Lil' Kim versus Foxy Brown. That's the only one that makes sense. That would be a good one. You said, remember when Trina was saying she wanted to battle her? That wouldn't make no sense. You're welcome. I love Trina. I grew up on Trina. That wouldn't make no sense, though. I want things that make sense and that's the thing with versus two versus always has a great element to it when

there's people who who may have had some friction at one point right you know like brandy and monica gucci and gz like it'd be interesting to see kim and fox yeah they would have to squash it out i guess to have a conversation kind of like gucci and gz beforehand if gucci it's also nice when people are cool with each other too. Like watching Raekwon and Ghostface or Red and Mad. Yeah, it is. But it's called Versus. To me, it's a better element when it's people that have just a little slight friction. You know it's a

backstory. You know it's some history there. You know? It's good to see that. Alright, now Oprah is going to be on the Dr. Oz show today and she's going to talk about her traumatic childhood and talk about things that she's never spoken about before. And ahead of that, there's been some videos dropping and she talks about getting beat when she was young. Grabbed a switch and I got a really bad whipping for it. And when I put on my clothes to go to church. One of the welts from my back opened up and bloodied the dress.

Hey. In addition, she talks about her grandfather being abusive toward her grandmother, and she gets very emotional as she's discussing. My grandfather has his hands around my grandmother's neck, and she is screaming, and she manages to push him off of her. Cousin Henry comes down the road in the middle of the night to help my grandmother get my grandfather up off the floor. And after that, my grandmother put a chair underneath the doorknob

and some tin cans around the chair. And that is how we slept every night. I always slept listening for the cans. Listening for what happens if that doorknob moves. And these are things she's never discussed before. So should be pretty very interesting for

us to watch as she opens up about issues that she had from her childhood. Alright, now we discussed the show the show couples retreat from VH1 yesterday and what me and DC had to say about Yandy and whether or not he would hold her down if the roles were reversed. If you didn't hear it, here's a reminder. If the role were reversed, would you hold me down? If the shoes was on the other foot, you know, I don't know what I will be able to do. And that's so hurtful because people have said to me, you're doing all this.

Would he do that for you? And I've always combated with, yeah, he would. We love each other. But to hear him sit here in my face and be like, I don't know. Listen, I'm telling you the truth. Like, that's so unfair. She right. Yeah.

She absolutely is. She definitely held it all the way down. And he responded though yesterday. He said, good afternoon Instagram. FYI, I never said I wouldn't have held Yandy down. I felt like I didn't want to say what everyone wanted me to say because it sounds good and salacious.

What I meant was, you don't know what you'll do until you're in that situation and they become your circumstances and you figure it out. I believe action speaks louder than words and love conquers all. And if anybody knows me, they know I love my family. Yeah, I hear what he's saying but no, it's great to be honest but

you're supposed to lie in that hypothetical situation. Especially since Yandy held you down when you went in. It's really just that simple. I mean, I agree with you but maybe he just wanted to be honest and that was what first came to his mind yeah I respect that but not in that situation especially after your significant other held you down when you was in like if they if neither one of them had held each other down then yes you might cannot answer that question in the way he did but being that she absolutely positively did he has to lie

in that hypothetical he has to lie now he has to really say yes i would but he should have lied because the truth is you don't know what you would do in a situation but you can guesstimate like yeah i would absolutely do that now i don't know what's happened and you don't you you know but at least you feel like you would yeah i don't know what i would do in that situation but i know that my woman held me down so i'm going to give her back what the energy she gave me and even if i don't feel like i would i'm going to say it because she did it drop one of clues bombs for papoose god damn it all right salute to papoose papoose showed us the way when papoose had a bar that high us Us as men cannot be below that bar. Man, DCs, salute to you, King.

I seen everybody getting on him. I seen Young Blue made a comment about it. I seen a couple of people did. Young Blue? Yeah. If I ever had. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.

Now, Steve Carell, he is talking about what he did when he left the office on the last episode. He did an interview with Yahoo Entertainment. Well, no, actually, he didn't do an interview. Cast members Oscar Nunez and Kate Flannery did an interview with Yahoo Entertainment alongside the creator Greg Daniels. And they were all talking about filming the Goodbye Michael two-part episode where Michael Scott, that's Steve Carell's character from The Office, actually left. I was confused. I was like, who the hell is Steve Carell? I was so confused for a minute, but go ahead. You didn't know Steve Carell is from 40-Year-Old

Virgin? I did not know. You're probably top 10 white men of all time, bro. I don't watch a lot of those movies. I don't watch The Office. You never saw 40-Year-Old Virgin? You need to watch that. Steve Carell, funny, bro. I never watched it. And The Office is an amazing, funny show. Never watched it.

He's top 10 white man of all time. Pretty great. All right. Anyway, they said that in that last episode, he gave everybody a Rolex watch. And, you know, Kate Flannery said, I still wear it. It reminds me of that amazing experience.

So that's dope. What's the best gift you ever got leaving a job? I ain't never got no damn gift for leaving no job job I ain't never got no damn gif for leaving no job I've been fired four times from radio I never got no gif for leaving they give you a gif like you're fired but here's a Rolex alright well that is

your rumor report what you get nothing but they didn't leave a job, though. They didn't leave a job. The show ran its course. Like, they... Yeah, he...

Well, no, no, no. He left before the show. This was... The show went on after Steve Carell left. The office? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Okay.

Yeah, when I left... For a long time. When I left the other station, they didn't give me nothing. They actually was... Aw. They was gonna try to escort me out. They actually escorted you out, yeah.

That's what they give you. They give you a free walk with HR. They don't gotta, you know to escort me out. They actually escorted you out, yeah. That's what they give you. They give you a free walk with HR. They give you a basket to get your stuff out the office if you got anything in there. But I know I was leaving, so I packed my bags ahead of time, so I just was out. That's why I usually don't leave anything up here. Just in case I got to go. Same here. I don't even have an office. I don't even want no office. Just in case the heat's coming around

the corner. I got PTSD from being fired four times. I don't even keep, I don't even, I don't know office up here. For what? Y'all got all kinds of stuff up in there. I just want to say. All right, well, that is your rumor report. You know, nothing that I, you know.

And my headphones. Yeah, that's the only thing I got is your headphones. All right, front page news next, what are we talking about? Yes, let's talk about everything that's happening with Breonna Taylor. We'll give you some updates also on releasing footage and why that's not going to happen right now. All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Angela here. And the General Insurance understands that stuff happens, including lapses in auto coverage. At The General, they make it easy to get reinstated and will work with you to keep you covered. Call 800-GENERAL or go to thegeneral.com to find out more. Some restrictions apply. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Brandon Mitchell Mitchell he's juror 52 in the trial against Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd and he was talking about what it was like for him

being a juror he's a 31 year old basketball coach at North Community High School in Minneapolis and he said they didn't watch the news during the trial they weren't aware of the racial climate here's what else he said on Good Morning America Derek Chauvin not taking the stand. Did that have an impact? Not hearing from him? Definitely it did. When we were in the deliberation room, you know, a few people wondered like they

wanted to actually hear from them. They were curious on, you know, just what his thoughts might have been throughout. You know, it probably was to his detriment that he didn't take the stand because people were curious on what his thoughts were throughout the entire incident. It was a unanimous verdict, as you know, finding Chauvin guilty on all charges and just as a reminder, he will be sentenced on June 25th.

Yeah, it's probably better that he didn't take the stand because if he took the stand, there's no way he couldn't incriminate himself. You know what I mean? But it didn't matter. He still got found guilty on all charges. Yeah, and that video, boy. Now, let's talk about video because the U.S. judge in North Carolina has rejected

requests to release videos showing the fatal shooting of Andrew Bowne Jr. during an attempted arrest and they're saying that's because it could be detrimental to the case as they're investigating. What do you mean detrimental to the case? That's the whole point of releasing the evidence. I thought the whole point of everybody having those cameras on them

is so we can exactly see what happened. So I was kind of confused. And detrimental to whose case? Meaning that the police would be held liable? Well, to the investigation. Yeah. So while they're trying to probe and investigate, they feel like releasing the videos,

they said once the probe is completed, then they'll reconsider their request to release the videos based on the factors as they exist at that time. Well, who gets to see the video in full? Just the attorneys in the family? Yeah, and then they said that even with the attorneys in the family, they're still blurring out the faces, which didn't make sense. And it was

just a clip, right? Maybe they're afraid of the public. Public opinion is so strong. You know what I mean? They did. That's probably what it is. But everybody else. They did rule. Everybody else in every other case, in every other city, in every other state released the camera footage.

Well, they're not saying they'll never release it. They said that they'll reconsider it. And, you know, it's different state by state what the rules are when it comes to police footage. But the judge did rule that four body camera videos of the incident could be disclosed within 10 days to his son, Khalil Farabi. So he said the faces and other identifying features of the officers at the scene must be obscured. And that is in the case of Andrew Brown. Why are they protecting them? That right there tells you everything that you need to know about this system.

Clearly, they're trying to cover something up, but the mere fact they can say, no, we're not showing y'all right now, speaks volumes. You better look alive and realize the devil we facing out y'all. Yeah, I think that's crazy. They said it could have a negative impact

on the investigation, and it could also prejudice the jury if there's a trial. I mean, it's what happened, though. Isn't it part of the facts? Yeah. Yeah. What can you... It's video footage. You can't make it up. I kind of get what happened though isn't it part of the facts yeah yeah what can you it's video footage you can't make it up I kind of get it though I kind of get it just a little bit because if they

do go to trial you know it's going that's going to be a video that's going to be impossible to escape so you know what juror could you actually find that wouldn't have seen that video but I mean you could say that for all of these cases every last but I would think they would use that in the trial so they're gonna see it right everybody's gonna see it regardless yeah like the jury's gonna see that in the trial. So they're going to see it, right? Everybody's going to see it regardless. Yeah. Like the jury is going to see that video regardless. What does it matter if they see it now or see it later? They just don't want public opinion before they pick the jurors to be swayed.

But I mean, all right. And one of the officers involved in the raid that resulted in Breonna Taylor getting killed has actually announced his retirement. He's the one that got shot in the leg. If you guys remember when Kenneth Walker, he thought the officers were intruders. He fired one shot from inside the home. And Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly was one of them. He was shot in the leg. And so he's saying that it has nothing to do with what's happening right now. They're actually investigating whether or not that department has a pattern

or practice of using unreasonable force including with respect to people involved in peaceful, expressive activities. So he's saying it has nothing to do with that investigation. He's just as ready to retire. If they do a fair investigation, I'm sure you would see that majority of police departments in America

use excessive force. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Now, when we come back, it's Throwback Thursday, and we have an icon and a legend joining us this morning. His name is Big Daddy Kane.

He influenced a lot of your favorite rappers from Eminem to Jay-Z to Notorious B.I.G. and a host of others. All right. So, Big Daddy Kane came when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. That's right. We have a legend in the building. Come on, man. That's an understatement. Icon in the building.

That's an understatement, too. Especially when it comes to this rap-ish, lyrically, a problem, also knew how to make music, influenced artists like Kendrick Lamar

and Jay-Z, just to name a few. Probably the most well-rounded rapper ever. I would agree. Ladies and gentlemen, Big Daddy Kane.

Big Daddy Kane. What's up, King? Everything is good, man. The reason I say you're the most well-rounded rapper ever is because when it comes to rhyming, you could do the street shit. You could do the stuff for the ladies. You could do the stuff to make people think.

Plus, you could dance. You know what I'm saying? And you had the image. Like, you had everything. You checked all boxes. I appreciate it. I mean, I ain't arguing with you. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. So for people I ain't arguing with you. I appreciate it.

I appreciate it. So for people that don't know Big Daddy Kane, let's start from the beginning. You're from Brooklyn, but how did you get into rap and music? Shout out to my good brother Biz Markey. That's how I got in. You know, we had a mutual friend

that he knew in Long Island, and he used to always tell me about Biz, and then one day he said he was in the Albee Square Mall. And you you know I was kind of tired of him always telling me about this dude so I was like all right I'm gonna go battle your man from now on I want you to tell you know Biz Markie who the hell MC Kane is and we battled and after the battle he was like yo you dope I'll be doing shows in the Bronx, Long Island. You know, you should roll with me. Get down with me. I guarantee you I'm going to get you a record deal.

And that was like 84. And 87, he kept his word. He got me signed, you know, the Cold Shilling Records, and the rest was history. Now, your first name was MC King? Yeah. How did it become Big Daddy King? I used to say Big Daddy a lot in rhymes, you know,

and then Biz told me. He was like, nah, you need to put that on there. You need to, like, say Big Daddy. lot in rhymes, you know, and then Biz told me. He was like, nah, you need to put that on there. You need to, like, say Big Daddy. I was like, all right. So the inception of the Juice Crew was basically you and Biz. No, no, no. I mean, you know, the first artist in the Juice Crew was Shante, Roxanne Shante. And then came Shan.

Well, Shante, then Craig G, then Shan, Biz, G-Rap, then me, and them asses. Got you, got you. Yeah. Now, how's Biz doing now? Because I heard Biz was having some health difficulties at one time. Is he doing better? He's getting better, you know. He's, you know, in rehabilitation now, and, you know, he's getting better and stronger every day.

Last time I talked to him, he stuck his middle finger up at me, so I think he's coming along. You never thought about doing a label? You from Brooklyn and all the artists that you influenced. I'm just thinking now, if Kane did a label, you would probably have Biggie signed to it. You'd probably have Jay

signed to it. You might even have Eminem signed to it. No, honestly, I tried and was just not successful with it. With might even have Eminem signed to it. No, I'm honestly I tried and was just not successful with it. You know? With who? With all both of them? Well, it was Jay-Z and Positive K. Okay. Not Biggie. Because

you know, Biggie came through Mr. C. That's the only way I really connected with Big was through C. But Jay I was working with, because I did a mixtape with Jazz O. And afterwards, they asked me to work with Jazz. And I was like, yo,

I kind of like the Lil' Lyskin dude better. I'm like, can I work with him? And that's how me and J connected. And I was already working with Positive K. So we was trying to do this, you know. Like I said, I just wasn't successful. But I'm actually glad because Jay probably wouldn't be where he is now. You know what I'm saying?

So I'm just happy for his success now and what he's achieved. What jewels did you give Jay? Because everybody sees the Kane influence in Hov, but you don't ever really connect the dots with Hov and Kane. You was a mentor to him in a lot of ways, right? That's a question you'd have to ask him. I mean, but I enjoyed having him around and working with him. And I definitely tried to instill what I knew, you know, in this brother and Paz K.

You know, Shaheem from Wu-Tang as well. You know, these are people that I took on the road with me. And, you know, I definitely tried to instill certain things, you know, because there's a lot that I was learning. So I wanted, you know, these brothers to be aware of this as they're entering into the industry, you know. And you and Old Dirty Bastard were super cool too, right? Yeah.

It was when Wu had just came out, they opened up for me at Newark Symphony Hall. And watching their show, I told my manager, I was like, yo, go get the old dirty dude and go get the little light-skinned girl with her hair half-braided. And he brought them back to the room

and he was like, yo, they right here, but that's not a girl, that's a dude named Shaheem. I'm like, yeah. Because, you know, his voice was so high-pitched, you know. His voice was so high-pitched, I thought it was a girl. that's a dude named Shaheem. I'm like, yeah. Because his voice was so high pitched. His voice was so high pitched, I thought it was a girl. And I'm way up in the bleachers looking. But anyway, we met.

We kicked it. We went and hung out at my man Botch's birthday party. And from that point on, we just was tight. You know, old Dirty come by the crib, hang out, me and him, just sit there and drink you know talk junk um and shaheem label asked me to take take a more tour with me um but he was under age so i had to work it out with al hayman because it was the budweiser superfest you know but once we worked it out i took shaheem and you know we had we had a good time why were you never scared to do so many film a female record because back then everybody was tough everybody

was rapping and spitting but you you would do a female record but then you would do this record what made you not scared to do that at that time well when i made long live the cane i couldn't tell you nothing other than what i knew you know i'm saying all i knew is what i saw in the streets of brooklyn or maybe going to philly or Jersey or Connecticut with Biz to do a show. That's all I knew. That was the world to me. You know, that's all I seen. But after I made Long to Decay, by then, you know, I had done toured, you know, America,

east to west. I had been to Europe everywhere. You know, I was everywhere, you know, so I had a different understanding that by that time, you know, it wasn't, you know, just about the hood like i realized okay i have male fans female fans i have black fans white latino asian you know i have young fans i have older fans you know i was like wow people really think i'm like i'm 19 years old people think i'm like 25 26 you know so i'm like i had older fans you know so i mean knowing all that i try to make music that um You know would please everyone, you know, you think you crossed over like a little too fast. Oh, yeah

Without a doubt. Yeah, I always say that I was like about you know Waited maybe like, you know good five or six years and came out on bad boy, it would have been over. You think that was a good thing or a bad thing crossing over so fast? Huh? You think that was a good thing or a bad thing crossing over so fast? Probably a bad thing for me, but a good thing for everyone else

because I think it opened the doorways for people to accept, you know, the stuff that Biggie and Jay-Z was doing and so many others, you know, mixing R&B and pop, you know, with hip-hop, you know. All right, we got more with Big Daddy Kane. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's Throwback Thursday. We got a special guest joining us this morning, the legend Big Daddy Kane. Charlamagne? When you watch what hip-hop has become, do you feel like you got the most out of it? Well, I mean, watch what it's become?

Nah, because I mean, you know, I'm not getting these bags, like, you know, little Uzi Vert and these headcats is getting, you know. I mean, but I mean, it's like from a cultural standpoint, yeah. I got a whole lot of, you know, because I mean, I had an opportunity to dominate my era you know at that time you know so from a cultural aspect yeah i got a whole lot of it from financial aspect nah yeah because when i heard i heard meffin man talking i forgot what show he was on but he was saying how where are they getting all his money and so i was thinking

damn if meff think like that what does somebody like Rakim McCain think? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's like I'm happy to see it because you got to keep in mind, during our era, we weren't even accepted a lot of places, you know? I mean, I remember Prince had me do a rhyme on the Bat Dance song for that Batman movie with Michael Keaton. Wow. You know, and I put a verse to it Warner Brothers records is happy loving it Warner Brothers film said nah so I mean it's that we wasn't accepted a lot of places you know hip-hop you know so you know that's it was it was it was it was like

that back then that's crazy cuz you was more I mean you you were pop you were street but you were still positive. You were righteous. And they didn't want you on the record? Okay, I think you might have missed something here. Warner Brothers Films didn't want a Warner Brothers artist on the song with Prince. Got you. You know what I'm saying?

Why? I'm on Warner Brothers. What? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I missed that. Why, though? What was they're reasoning because it was rap Wow you know that was the film side though yeah that was the film side you ever you ever look back and say you know you think about it you wish there was a rap Union and the reason I say that is is so many brothers II like you have really pushed the

culture where these artists can make we just have money bag your opinion he say you get 150,000 a show. That's dope. Do you ever think, like, damn, maybe there should be some type of union where some of these artists that you are paved the way for kind of gives back? Because, you know, it ain't like Rolling Stone.

With Rolling Stone, they could play a Rolling Stone song on Z100. You know what I mean? For me to play a song here, it has to be a throwback mix or a throwback noon, which is crazy to me sometimes. Well, I mean, you know, that's the way things are in hip-hop you know unlike any other music genre where in hip-hop you know you're given an expiration date that's the way it is in this in this field and i mean it's it's going to take a lot of doing to change that because you're going to have to really reset people mind frame you, to take that whole old school thing, you know, out of their way of thinking and just start,

you know, recognizing people as pioneers or legends, you know, depending on, you know, the impact they had, you know, in their journey, you know. But I mean, to answer your question, I do think that there should be a union. Not for that, because I mean, I don't I don't I don't need you know, I'm not asking nobody for nothing. And I don't think nobody's supposed to, you know, look back and, you know, you know, you know, throw me, you know, I think there should be a union for the simple fact that when you look at what just happened recently with Black Rob, I'm not going to include DMX in this because from my understanding, he's taken care of. He's well taken care of.

And I think that's beautiful. And I commend the people that did that. But you look at Black Rob, Shock G, you know, there's a lot of rappers that had a great impact in the game and they're dying. You know, and I think that, you know, some of them, you know, may be in a situation where they need health care. Others, you know, if they're gone, you know, their family would be taken care of. So I think there should be a union for that purpose. Gotcha. I feel like in a lot of ways,

the 80s are being erased. Like, even when people be like, yo, what's your top five favorite rappers? It's usually rappers from, like, the 90s, even now, and the new guys, right? So it's just like, do you ever feel like the 80s are being erased? Bruh, my eight-year-old son

was just listening to some J. Cole in the car and nodding his head and said, yeah, that's that old school. What? He said, J. Cole was that old school? Yeah, my 8-year-old said,

yeah, that's that old school. And I'm sitting there looking at him like, damn, I must be like the Platters or somebody. Yeah, man. So you do feel like they're being erased? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's not a matter of being erased. It's like, you know, people just have a short attention span now, you know?

I mean, it's hard to get someone to, you know, watch a two hour movie anymore. People have a short attention span. How many people have been offering you bags, though? Because I can imagine a Big Daddy Kane story would do really well on TV. The book would do really well. So is there anything in the works? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Well, I have a podcast that came out today.

I believe you can see it on Spotify spotify um i'm not exactly where else but um it's called did you hear the one about big daddy cane and i'm telling you know my story from you know um in the hood you know hanging out you know with the grimeys to meeting biz and entering into the music industry and all the things that I've seen, you know, in my journey, working with Patti LaBelle, Babby White, taking photos with Madonna and Naomi. Yeah, no, yeah, Naomi Campbell, you know, and all that stuff, you know, and being in movies. So as you get to hear everything about me on this podcast, and like I said, that came out today and we also um we also in the works of arm creating this juice crew biopic and You know, it's crazy. I want to shout out on the brother Abdul Williams. He's the one I do

Who wrote the new edition and Bobby Brown story and you know, it's crazy when you hear Someone else's perspective of you. And I mean, like what you said when I first walked into Rome, I was sitting there like, wow, you know, blown away. Like, wow, that's deep. But I mean, when he explained what the Juice crew meant to hip hop and how like so many other things came into effect because of that. I'm sitting there like I never thought about this before in my life. I'm like, wow. And this is an assessment he made just by doing it, you know,

studying it, you know, because he wasn't there, you know? What are some of the dumb shit you said you did that you look back on and you're like,

damn, that's some dumb shit. What was one of the biggest dumb shit? Honestly, I guess one of the biggest ones was dick up stuff. You know? Because, I mean,

I think about something one of my boys told me was Dick Up Stuff. You know? Because, I mean, I think about something one of my boys told me that made complete sense. You know? And, I mean, you know, he was just basically like, you know, yo, man, your parents together, you know, I ain't even seen my father. But your parents are together. They both drive in Cadillacs.

Why you out here, man? Yo, why don't you go back with that biz dude man won't you go back with him you know you know that's where you need to be man you need to be making music you better than such and such you better than such and such you know that's like one of the dumb things I would definitely say you know and you never glorified any of that in your music either though nah I never seen a need to yeah yeah even with even with G-Rap when G-Rap was spitting his sh**, you was like, well, sh** got some of that in my background, too. Oh, nah.

I did on a song with G-Rap, I think it was called Number One With A Bullet. But that was because that's what the song was about. Got you. You know? I mean, I can't go there. It's just, you know, by choice, I choose not to. And it's just crazy, because there was a point in the 90s where it seemed like that was the emphasis.

Even early 2000s, that was the emphasis. Even early 2000s, that was the emphasis. Rap about gangsta stuff. And for you to say intentionally, no, I'm not going to do that even though you lived it. I mean, you know,

I don't really see the purpose to Kiss and Tell, man. But you know, that's just me. You know, T.J.'s own. All right, well, don't move.

We got more with Big Daddy K. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yeee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club it's throwback thursday we got a special guest joining us this

morning the legend big daddy kane one of the hardest lyricists back then that you would say they were spitting with me with me yeah um well um the the the top three at that time you know was um me ch, and Rakim. You know, I hate leaving G-Rap out, but I mean, I'm just saying just by public opinion. You know, because me personally, G-Rap, one of my favorites. You know what I'm saying?

But I mean, like, by public opinion, it was, you know, those were the three that everyone, you know, was talking about. And they tried to get to do a versus, versus Rakim? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, Swiss tried. You wouldn't do it you to do a versus versus Rakim? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, like Swiss tried, you know,

I mean. You wouldn't do it? Huh? You wouldn't do it? I would love to do it, but I mean, I can't, I can't make nobody

battle me. Rakim. You know, so I mean, you know. It's hard to get Rakim out the house to even do a show.

Rakim is just Rakim. Yeah. I'm surprised he came and did the breakfast love with Rakim as Rakim. They've been trying to get y'all to go at it for years,

though. Even back then, that was supposed to be a thing, right? Wasn't y'all supposed go at it for years, though. Even back then, that was supposed to be a thing, right? Wasn't y'all supposed to? Yo, let me tell you the funniest story about that whole me and Rakim thing. One night, Bobby Brown did a show at the Garden. And he had me, Heavy D, Rest in Peace, Just Ice, Moe D, all of us up on stage.

Just letting everybody spit while the band playing. And Moe D, he trying to push it because he seemed that me and rock came on stage together it's not no battle we just rhyme everybody's rhyming but he wanted us to rhyme back to back and just to show you how deep people wanted it to happen when rock him rhymed modi gave me a microphone and was trying to edge me next to him so that I can go right after Ra Just Ice snatched the mic from Heavy D and just started I go after the guard, I go after the guard

and as soon as Ra Kim finished Just Ice just jumped in front of him and started rhyming and the whole crowd started booing now listen, they never even gave him a chance who knows, Just Ice might have been saying some dope stuff they were just mad because I didn't go after him. That's what that was all about.

They just started booing. That's how people's mindset is, how bad they want to see that happen. Let's go, Rakim. Let's do this. This would be good for the coach. I would love to see it. Did you have balls for him back then, just in case? Just in case for a moment like that y'all was ever somewhere and y'all had to go at it,

did you ever have a verse or something for Rakim? I might have. i don't know i mean no no but i mean no no no no um listen we talked one time and when we talked um i asked him about a line in his song and he explained to me what it meant he asked me about a line in my song i explained to him what it meant because he thought it was what line was it what line was it i asked him about the word to daddy and he said that that's just some long island slang you know instead of word to mama we say word to daddy you know he asked me about the rap soloist you don't want none of this and i explained i said no i'm saying i'm a rap soloist competition don't want none of this. And I explained, I said, no, I'm saying I'm a rap soloist competition, don't want none of this. You know, anybody around Malone is a soloist, you know?

But he thought it was a shock, you know, cause he said, and you know that I'm a soloist, you know? So we explained that and we, you know, from there, everything been smooth sailing. We've been cool, you know? If y'all would've had social media back then, y'all would've been going at it. Cause you know, people would've been like,

yo, he coming at you. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no. I mean, right now, today, I see that. People mentioning stuff from songs from 89, 88, you know, saying that I still think this was about you. You know, that'd be...

But, I mean, if that's what entertains you, you don't knock yourself out, you know? Do you regret not going toe-to-toe with him, though? Just for the sport? Yeah. I mean, because, I mean, if that's what entertains you, you don't knock yourself out, you know? Do you regret not going toe-to-toe with him, though, just for the sport? No. I mean, because, I mean, you know, I had a successful, you know, career. So, I mean, you know, I don't really see how that would have made it any better. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

And, I mean, besides that, I mean, it's like, you know, I always felt that Rakim is one of the greatest MCs ever. Absolutely. But, you know, but he's not a battle rapper. You know what I'm saying? I mean, that's all I did. You know what I'm saying? That's how me and Biz met.

You know, that's all I did was battle rap, you know. I think the more intense, the more difficult battle would have been me and KRS mmm you know I'm saying because that's a battle rapper and I mean just watching some of the stuff that I've seen him do I see that you know with him the way he like the way I think you know it's deeper than just the rhyme it's how you get in someone head so yeah I've definitely respect that brother as a battle MC and I think that that's you know that'd be a good rock him with light work is what you're saying well i'm saying

what i'm saying is he's not a battle rapper what probably would have been better it's like a song you know i'm saying like you know i got a verse on the song and rock him got a verse on the song and the people judging what verse they like better. You know what I'm saying? How did you hook up with Madonna? How did you meet Madonna? Warner Brothers had set up a promotional tour for me, Madonna, and Color Me Bad to visit hospitals here in Manhattan.

But all the hospitals were pretty much bougie hospitals with young white kids. They didn't really know who the hell I was, you know? And at one of the hospitals, Madonna just said to one of the kids, and that's Big Daddy Kane. He's a famous rapper. Let me hear you say, ain't, no, half, and I'm just like, whoa, Madonna know my stuff.

I'm like, you know, I'm sitting there like, wow, queen of pop, she know my stuff. I'm like, whoa. And then afterwards, we talked'm sitting there like, wow, queen of pop. She know my stuff. I'm like, whoa. And then afterwards we talked and I was like, hey, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Boom, boom, boom. And, you know, she told me that, you know, that she was doing this book. She was like, I'm doing this book.

I would like for you to be in it with me. It's just photos, you know. And I'm like, you know, I would be honored. You know, I'd be honored, you know. And then, you know, she was like, well, you know, it's going to be nude photos. And I'm like, well, even better, you know, I mean, you know, you know, and that's how it happened. Regret or no regret? There's nothing to regret.

You know, you know, I took naked photos with Madonna, right? Yeah. Oh, OK. What is it a regret, man? Yeah. Oh, okay. There you go. 100%. Yeah, it's a regret. What is it a regret, man? Yeah. Because I was just thinking hip-hop, that's one of those things like, oh, he was super going Hollywood. He was naked with Madonna, you know?

Yeah, but you see, you got to understand, my brother, the person saying that would have did the same damn thing. Yeah. It wasn't Naomi in them pictures, too, or my trip? Yeah, Naomi Campbell. Yeah, you know. Can't so many people say they was naked with Madonna and Naomi Campbell. It was artistic. It was artistic.

Yeah. I mean, like I said, the same people that criticized her did the same thing. They would have been sitting there in an interview I'm just saying though, I'm just saying though, I had on boxers though. You know? So you was naked naked? Nah, I think I had on on briefs got you guys yeah cuz I'd have been worried about shrinkage in a situation

like that I want to show up right you know I want him talking about me after like a really big daddy what about playboy would you have done that if you could do that again would you you? You mean Playgirl? Playgirl, I'm sorry. Playgirl, yeah. Nah, probably not. But that was interesting. But that was really, that came about as a joke.

The head of publicity at Warner Brothers, Gene Shelton, you know, I think we just did Essence Magazine. And he was like, man, brother, I done got you in everything. He was like, I'm doing stuff i never thought i could even do man i never think i'll be able to get no rapper in ebony magazine and essence magazine but i think we done did everything ain't nothing left to do with like play girl or something and we said well let's do it that's that's how i started as a joke just like that and then ended up having it yeah that's crazy to even hear.

A rapper couldn't get into Ebony or Essence. Right. Yeah. Damn. Yeah, that's how I was back then, my brother. For real, for real. How long did it take for your eyebrows to grow in, man? After years of doing the three cuts and eyebrows?

I don't know, man. I got to give you love because nobody's never asked you enough. For real? But, you know, kids are still doing that now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, my 8-year-old just had it a couple of weeks ago. Wow. So was there ever a point where you had to say at some point,

I'm going to grow him out, I'm going to grow him back, I'm just going to let him grow in? Yeah, no. I mean, you know, we went through it, but then like after, I want to say like like, maybe, like, after a year, I started seeing everybody and their mother doing it. I think Vanilla Ice even had it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, everybody's mother's doing it. So, you know, it was, like, old to me then, you know. And Jay immortalized it and do it again. Three cuts in your eyebrow, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the same thing happened to K. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it again. Three cuts in your eyebrow. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it again song.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, we appreciate you for joining us and spitting this game for us this morning. Yeah. Did I ever tell you the one about podcast, man? I definitely got to get in tune with that. Absolutely. Yes, I can't wait.

Thank you. Thank you, sister. And I want to see you continue to document your story, man. You know what I mean? Because you're still here to tell it. All right. Well, let's make it happen. Absolutely.

Along with it. Absolutely. Well, it's Big Daddy Kane, ladies and gentlemen. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Working on a weekend like usual. Way off in the deep end like usual. Swear they passed us.

They doing too much. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. well now that Mike Tyson is not fighting Evander Holyfield who is he about to get in the ring with he told TMZ who his next opponent will be with the Evander Holyfield rematch off, are you still going to return to the ring, sir? I'm going to fight Lennox Lewis. Lennox Lewis?

Yeah. Yo, I can't wait to see that. When's it going to happen? See, those are the type of exhibition matches I want to see. I don't want to see legendary fighters against YouTube stars. I want to see legendary fighters against other older legendary fighters. I'm here for that. That's cool.

I want to see both of them. I want to see Floyd, too. No, I don't. I don't. I'm not mad at it. I think that's a waste of's cool. I want to see both of them. I want to see Floyd, too. No, I don't. I don't. I'm not mad at it. I think that's a waste of time. And Lennox Lewis did beat Mike Tyson. Oh, yeah.

Absolutely. Before, previously. 100%. And when you look at the pay-per-view numbers that Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. did, there's a huge market for those OG exhibition fights. So I'm here for that. That one I'll pay for. It's a market for both of them because I'm going to buy both of them.

I want to see both of them, though. It's a waste of time and a waste of money to buy the YouTube versus Floyd, but whatever. All right. Now, Wendy Williams was interviewing Jocelyn Hernandez. I'll pay for this matchup, too. She has a show on Zeus, Jocelyn's Cabaret Miami. Heavyweight fight. Jocelyn was pointing out to Wendy Williams that she needs to put some respect on her name.

I just feel like every time I come to your show, you don't give me those flowers. Wendy, you're 35 years my sister. How? I should get those flowers. Shame. Not just me, all the other young girls. We feel like you be trying us. Give me that respect, Ms. Wendy Williams.

We love you, but at the same time, you're not in an abusive relationship anymore. You don't deal with that man anymore. You should be in a better place. And when people come on your show, especially black culture, you should be nicer to us, the ladies. You should respect us. You should give us our flowers while we're here. And you should tell us how proud you are of what we've done in the streets. What you laughing about?

Because I watched that video three times yesterday. Found it highly entertaining. And then in this next clip, at the end of it, Wendy actually throws a flower at the screen. Well, I'm not proud of all. And what I've been through makes me even harder on young women. Like, you can do better. Now, can we get back to the show at hand?

Can I see your shoes, please? You have nothing to say about my feet. I just said what I said. I don't apologize for anything this is what i do you only do it to the young black spanish girls coming up you don't do it to anybody else jocelyn for people of color jocelyn here here's a flower come on what's the backstory though why did she why did uh jocelyn come at her like that i mean i guess what she's saying is what she feels like she feels like wendy always that's why i think that's where it came

from oh that's and not just her but she's saying a lot of people i'm sure she means you know people like black china and you know things that wendy has said about other young women on the show but i'll be honest with you if you don't like what wendy williams does you ain't gotta go on the show you definitely don't have to go on the if you don't like what Wendy Williams does, you ain't got to go on the show. You definitely don't have to go on the show. You don't have to. You know what I mean? And if you go on the show, I mean, clearly she was looking for a moment. And she got it. I don't even know if she was looking for a moment.

Jess is not the type to bite her tongue either or duck a show. So she probably went on there to express herself and try to check Wendy. But I don't think it was a disrespectful way. She was just trying to say, look, why don't think it was a disrespectful way. She was just trying to say, look, why don't you support other women? That's the Trilla matchup right there.

Who wins? Jocelyn. Definitely Jocelyn. And how many rounds? How many rounds? 30 seconds at the most. I say 20. At the most. 20 seconds.

Quick, I'm talking about Mike Tyson in the 90s style. Easy, easy, easy victory. Flawless victory. By boxing or kickback? Whatever. Whatever. Arm wrestling, boxing, easy victory. Flawless victory. But boxing or kickman? Whatever. Arm wrestling, boxing, taquito. What's the thing called? Taekwondo. Taquito? It's like a mini taco.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally

that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best.

The Breakfast Club, bitch. Donkey of the Day with Charlemagne the guy.

I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Ah, Florida does it to themselves, Duval. Donkey of the Day for Thursday, April 29th goes to Lila Sintner. Okay, co-founder of a private Go to Lila Sintner. Okay. Co-founder of a private school in Miami named Sintner Academy. Now, what does your Uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida? I've been telling y'all for years. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.

Now, I'm not a religious person, but there is a Bible scripture, Isaiah 520, and that scripture is woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Basically, folks who see things backwards. OK, imagine if you knew someone who thought up was down, who thought hot was cold and they argued with you about it. Like you're sitting there in 90 degree heat, balls sweating, forehead glistening. And then somebody walks up to you in some jeans, Tim's, a fur coat, a scully. And they telling you is freezing out. You would look at that person like they're insane. Well, that's how we all look at Florida. Yeah, Florida. That's how y'all act. See, the world is getting vaccinated. The U.S. is one of the top countries with one of the highest vaccination rates per 100 people.

I don't know what the latest number is, but 20 percent of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated. You have countries around the world easing restrictions for fully vaccinated people looking to vacation. Many colleges across the country will require the covid vaccine before they enter. I got a bunch of them here. George Washington University, Emory, Clark Atlanta, Morehouse, Bellman, just to name a few. Okay, they're going to require you to have a COVID vaccine before you come back to school. Basically, we can get back to some sort of normalcy, even though things will never be normal like we knew them,

but like the greatest R&B singer of the past decade, Miguel once said, what's normal anyway? But we can get back to some sort of normalcy if people are are vaccinated. I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but I'm not about this COVID vaccine life either. Not against it, just not willing to be a part of this first wave. Not to mention, I'm not really a vaccine guy. I don't think I've ever had a flu shot that I can remember. So if I don't need to get it, I probably won't.

Just being honest. But I don't knock anyone who does. Do your thing. OK, people getting vaccinated are making life easier for everybody else. People getting vaccinated are causing restrictions to be loosened. So do your thing. OK, now, if the rest of the country, the rest of the world is opening up more for folks who are vaccinated, if colleges across America are making it mandatory to have the vaccine to return to school. What do you think Florida's doing? Hmm. Let's go to WFOR CBS for Miami for the report, please.

CEO of the Centner Academy has shared conspiracy theories recently on her Instagram. Now she's making a move at her own private school. It won't employ people who get the COVID-19 vaccine. In letters to parents and teachers, the private school asked teachers and staff who want to be vaccinated to wait until the end of the school year and said they quote, cannot allow recently vaccinated people near students. In letters, the school called the vaccine experimental and claimed tens of thousands of women worldwide had adverse reproductive issues like miscarriages or

irregular periods by just being near someone who was recently vaccinated. Theories which have been debunked by doctors and the CDC. The school has told teachers if they do want to get the vaccine over the summer, they won't be allowed back to school until those vaccine clinical trials are complete. So Centner Academy won't let you in if you're vaccinated. Please, if you have never listened to your Uncle Charla before, listen to me now. Whatever makes sense everywhere else will never make sense in Florida. We live in a world where vaccinated people are being welcomed. Places aren't even allowing you in if you aren't vaccinated. But here comes Florida to let you know, don't you bring your vaccinated ass over here.

OK, we don't want you in our Centner Academy. If you're vaccinated, Lila Centner doesn't want you in the school. She said, and I quote, she she she talks about vaccinated people the way people speak about folks with COVID. She said, folks that are vaccinated may be transmitting something from their bodies that could harm others, particularly the reproductive systems, fertility, and normal growth development in women and children. This is like shaming someone

for calling an Uber when they're drunk. This is like shaming your homegirl for taking a Plan B pill, okay, after she may have gotten her club shot up. This is like shaming someone

for wearing a seatbelt while driving. This is like the dude in the hood who shames you because you went to college. Okay. Because you're reading the book. Oh, educated ass nigga. All right. This is like shaming someone for wearing a condom. That's exactly what this is. Imagine inviting someone into a whorehouse and it's a bunch of different humans for him to have sex with. So this guy pulls out a 20-pack of condoms, and you say, ah-ah! That latex is not welcome here. That latex is transmitting something that could harm others. By the way, that could be a thing in Florida. Why?

Because it's Florida. I don't have anything else to say about this, because some donkeys, especially ones from Florida, sell themselves. Please give Linda Sintner the sweet sound in the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. I guarantee you it's a whorehouse in Florida that doesn't welcome condoms. Guarantee it.

Wow. Alright. DM me. Yeah, stay out of there. I just want to know about it. DM me. I know it exists. I met a girl in Jersey one time.

You know what? What'd you say, John? I met a girl in Jersey one time that didn't accept condoms. Really? Yeah. What do you mean? She wouldn't want you to wear one?

Yeah. She actually shamed me for playing on a condoms. Really? Yeah. What do you mean? She wouldn't want you to wear one? Yeah. She actually shamed me for playing out of condoms. Really? What happened after you hit? Raw? I didn't. You're a liar. You're a liar.

I was your liar. Sounds like you got a kid out there somewhere. You're a liar. It's a little bearded seven-year-old out there right now. Nope. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Dramos Jr.

Dramos hit for real. I know you hit. I took my toys and I went home. You said you used your toy and you went home. No, thank you for that donkey of the day. Dramos Jr. Dramos hit for real. I know he hit. I took my toys and I went home. You said you used your toy and you went home. No, I didn't take your toy. I need those. This guy. Joe.

My G. Do your thing. I'm not shaming you. I'm not shaming you. Where'd you put that toy, brother? Be you. Be you, Dramos. Wow.

Okay. You used your toy and you went home. That's right. That's what a man would do. All right. You know what I'm saying? Use your toy and go home. I know what I'm's what a man would do. All right. You know what I'm saying? Use your toy and go home. I know what I'm getting you for Christmas.

Whatever. All right. Up next, ask... Should have hit the fart sound after that one. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee now. All right, Dramos. It's The Breakfast Club.

You can't just keep messing up and apologizing. You have to think of things that you can do to actually, for real, make real improvements. It's not just keep messing up and apologizing for it.

You have to be better. That's true. Because her birthday is in two days. So what can you do starting now to show her that you're sorry? It's more than just saying it. It's showing it. Well, when she get out of work, I can join in, finish up, and I'll do whatever.

I ended up moving in with my mother-in-law because her husband had passed away and just basically trying to make things right and not having her live by herself. So me, my four kids, and my husband at the time moved in. A year and a half into it, we ended up, you know, I'm like talking to him. I'm like, okay, what's going to be our plan? Ain't no game plan going on, whatever, whatever. No types of talk about leaving his mama's house to be able to do our own thing. And it got to the point where he's so stuck on this that I ended up leaving and he chose to let

me and the four kids walk away so he can stay with his mom. And like, don't get me wrong. I know, you know, a relationship with a mother nobody should ever cross. And I totally respect that. But at the end of the day, it's like, damn, what the f***, dude? What are we supposed to do here? Man, I've seen this happen a few times. I know one of my friends, she got married, and the mom

was living with them to help take care of the kids at first, and then after that, it's like, okay, how do we get out of this situation? And it is a touchy thing, but y'all have your own family, right? And in order for your family to thrive, first of all, his mother shouldn't even want him to stay there. She should want him to be with his family.

I know. I know, girl. So why is it that he won't leave? I don't know. It's just like, I guess he's in this comfort zone. It's got best of both worlds under one roof. But, you know, at the same time that's not fair to me it kind of like made

me step down from the white position because she just kind of took over and I'm just you know and just kind of put me in the back burner pretty much so I just I snapped I left I was like f*** this

so did you ask him to come with you or did you tell him you were leaving it's been an ongoing conversation so it kind of was like I was a shaken up soda bottle and I just kind of exploded type of thing so he knew it was coming

the way I left it was just what was it, planned? I was just like, you know what, forget this. Right. And that's not a great way to communicate either, right? No, not at all. I understand it's frustrating for you. But again, like you said, you just kind of exploded and y'all didn't make a plan.

It could have been, okay, let's plan that within three months. Let's find a place together. Let's move out. Or you could have said, look, here's the plan. We have to get our own place. I'm going to look for it. I want you to come with me. So now I'm leaving it up to you. But you can't just make a move like that and be angry because now y'all are in a fight.

And now it's like you don't want to give in and he doesn't want to give in. Yeah, you heard about that one. But it was talked about. It wasn't like, I mean, obviously, we did talk about it. It's just the fact that he just wasn't budging. It was like, well, why are we going to go spend rent on something when we find right here? Or, you know, just like he always had an excuse for everything. And I was just like, you know what?

So, I don't know. Maybe it's better we're off that way. But it's always good to hear from the outside, from the outside just to see what I could have changed. Yeah, I mean, you should have said, look, I want you to come with us. And now you still can do that, right? You still want to be with your husband. It's been to the point now,

I'm kind of like, the way he's been acting, I don't, maybe it made him show his true colors because he hasn't even bothered. He's just, he's OK being with his mom. I'm curious what he I'm curious what he would have to say about it when you ask. Like, what is his side? I'm you. You and me both.

I would like to know myself. There's no communication. I mean, and that's a big problem with it between all of us. But at the end of the day, like my my thing is like I just want to know, like I know there's you, you know, don't cross the line with your mom relationship. But at the same time, like there has to be a draw of where you cross. And you're right. And he has his he has his own family now. And that's what has to be his priority. Also, obviously, his mom matters, of course, but he has his own children and his own wife. And so there has to be a compromise

where maybe his you know, you guys live close by to his mom, so he can go there whenever he needs to, or whatever it is, but he's an adult, you guys are adults, you'll have your own family. And he has to act in that manner. You've already been there for over a year, you've already compromised. Now he has to give in to your side. he should want to. And sometimes, yes, guys can get really comfortable. But like you said, it's the communication that seems to be off and you need an outside source. So what you might want to do is get some professional couples counseling because it seems like y'all can't communicate with each other. Right. It's like you have your side. You ended up exploding on him. and then I'm sure he didn't react

well to that yeah yeah you're right I don't know but yeah I appreciate that though all right and remember relationships and marriages are always work it's not always easy so look at this as like a bump in the road where you guys have to figure out how to smooth things out and get through it and sometimes that does take an outside person. So I really encourage you to go hard for that. Find somebody that you guys can talk to that can help y'all be able to express yourselves and come to a resolution. But I do think you're right in that it's time to move out and have your own household. For real. Yeah. All right. I'm going to take that into consideration I appreciate y'all Okay, alright

Ask Yi, you too Alright, that was Ask Yi Now coming up in Rumor Report, Yi is out in Ohio and Talib Kweli will be joining her, alright? So we'll do that when we come back It's The Breakfast Club, good morning The Breakfast Club Talib Kweli

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yi The Breakfast Club. Talib Kweli. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor, rumor. On The Breakfast Club. Listen up. Yes, as you know, I'm in Ohio in Yellow Springs, and Talib Kweli, of course, is here. And we were talking about this last week, about the new podcast that they have coming to Luminary,

Deja Pel, Yassin Bey, and Talib Kweli. So let's talk about it. Give us some more information. Yes, indeed. Shout out to Envy and Charlamagne. How y'all doing? Peace, King. Peace, peace.

Midnight Miracle is the name of the podcast. You can follow it on social media, at Midnight Miracle. I'm very proud of it. I'm very happy to be presenting it to the people. We just announced it about a week ago. It's a podcast hosted by myself, Yassine Bey, aka Mos Def, and Dave Chappelle. And we have a lot of guests. We have a lot of our friends who came through to be a part of the podcast. So I'm excited about sharing it with the world. Any spoilers? Like who? Like who? I think you're on it. Who else is on it? Famous people. You know, if you looked at the pictures and images that came out from this summer,

what we dubbed Team Chappelle 2020 Summer Camp, everybody from Questlove to Common and Tiffany Haddish to Chris Rock and Kevin Hart and just anyone who you've seen coming through, anybody who you could imagine would rock with myself, Yassin Bey, and Dave Chappelle is going to be on this podcast. And what are y'all talking about? What are y'all discussing? Is it just everything? Is it political? Is it comedy? Or is it just life? It's just life and it's non-linear. That's what I'm

very excited about. A lot of podcasts are just sort of thematic or just straight ahead interview. This podcast, imagine the Chappelle Show as a podcast. If you looked at the chapelle show it might be a skit about something historical it might be dave telling some jokes it might be some actors um so it's it's real non-linear and you don't know what to expect but it's a lot of good

music a lot of good jokes a lot of good energy well i've been said dave should have a podcast because that's what his streams of consciousness on stage lately but that ones he's been putting on youtube that's what they sound like but you stage lately, the ones he's been putting on YouTube, that's what they sound like. But you said something earlier, Talib. I don't know if you can repeat this, but I said that I'm one of those people, I don't know if podcasts work behind a paywall, and if people won't pay for Dave Chappelle, then they won't pay for nobody. But you said another bit of incentive that I don't know if you have put out there yet.

That intrigued me a lot well obviously if you got myself and Yassine Bey on a podcast with Dave Chappelle then the subject of the Blackstar album is going to come up so what I will say is that if you are a fan of this podcast and they subscribe and get behind the paywall and I agree with you Charlamagne you know it's very hard in the podcast space because a lot of people, there's a lot of good content for free. And so to ask people to come to the marketplace and say, you know what, we're going to change your listening habits,

we're going to change your spending habits, and we're going to ask you to spend money for a podcast, the fan is going to be like, well, what else am I getting if I can get so many other podcasts for free? You will be hearing new Blackstar music on this podcast. How and when it comes out, I don't know, but you are guaranteed to hear new Blackstar music in some form or fashion on this podcast.

So full songs from Blackstar. He didn't say that. I said you were guaranteed to hear some form of Blackstar music. We've been in the era of SoundCloud, Bandcamp, OnlyFans, NFTs. So you never know what form it's going to be in. You know what I'm saying? But you're going to hear some form of something. I mean, it's only right.

New music. New music. Not old songs. Okay. And you know what we were also talking about since we were discussing things that we were talking about behind the scenes? The Lennox Lewis fight. And he's going to be fighting Mike Tyson.

And you were saying that you actually had him on the album, if y'all recall this, Reflection Eternal, right before his fight. Yeah, shout out to Lennox Lewis. That session in Electric Lady was very special. Gil Scott Heron was there. Dave Chappelle was there imitating Nelson Mandela. To this day, people still think I got Rick James and Nelson Mandela on my debut album with high tech um so definitely shout out to Lennox Lewis um he lent his vocal talents to that album we look forward to hearing this podcast absolutely when is it coming out when is when is the first

episode release um I'm not sure the exact date of the first episode but it will be within the next few weeks we already dropped a couple of teasers and trailers.
