Good morning, DJ Enzi.
Charlamagne Tha God.
Peace to the planet.
It's Monday.
What's happening?
Yes, it's Monday.
Back to the work week.
Back to the work week, man.
And let me tell you something.
If you, even if your team wasn't playing this weekend, which mine certainly wasn't, the Dallas Cowboys.
Mine wasn't.
We're not even talking about y'all.
We never even thought about playing.
Okay.
We didn't talk about y'all either.
But we were in the playoffs.
Okay.
A little bit.
You got to say this was a little bit.
You're right.
This was one of the greatest NFL playoff weekends.
Oh, man.
I've ever witnessed in my 43 years of existence.
Yes.
I mean, my God.
Every single game was to the wire.
You didn't know what was going to happen at the end.
Like, this is why the NFL is the greatest sport on.
Yeah, it was a great weekend for games.
Shout out to everybody in North Carolina.
I was out in North Carolina.
I was in Stats on Saturday, and then Sunday I was watching the game at Cloud.
And, man, I can just tell you that it's – I mean, I love watching the game at the crib.
But when you watch it somewhere else and people are cheering
and they're going back and forth, it was a great weekend for football, man.
And it's the best when it's your team playing.
It wasn't my team playing, though, but I was acting like it, though.
I mean, if you was a Rams fan, you had to love the ending, right?
Yeah.
I mean, even in defeat, just watching.
I don't even want to call Tom Brady livestock no more.
Stop disrespecting Tom Brady by calling him livestock.
What do you call him?
He's Jesus.
I think Jesus came back as a quarterback.
Goodness gracious.
Just being honest.
I think Jesus came back as a quarterback.
But the Chiefs-Bills game last night, oh my God, man.
Great football.
It was a great weekend of football if you're a football fan.
Absolutely.
And if you've been on sports, if you've been on sports,
I actually was in Chicago all weekend, and it snowed really heavy there.
I was wondering if I would be able to make it back,
but fortunately I made it back.
I did happen to be in a bar in my hotel while the game was on,
the 49ers versus the Packers.
A lot of people bet on the game,
so it might not necessarily be their team playing,
but they rely on a lot of seeing this person's going to make a touchdown,
who's going to win, you know.
So I was watching everybody panicking over their bets
while I was in the sports bar.
Yeah, I don't bet on them games.
49ers Packers game was incredible too.
Yeah, that was an incredible game.
Low-scoring game, but, you know, just a nail-biter to the end.
It was just a great weekend of football, man.
And shout-out to, you know who I ran into this weekend?
Allen Iverson.
A.I.
A.I. lives down there.
Yeah, out in Charlotte, man.
We were actually all watching the game, man.
Shout-out to A.I., man.
It's good to see that brother.
Like, I've known him a long time when I went to Hampton University.
Of course, he's from the 757.
And just always a great brother.
So, shout-out to Allen Iverson, man.
Great, great, great, great dude.
Yeah, drop on the clues box for A.I.
My favorite player when it comes to NBA.
My favorite player.
All right.
Now, today on the show, Jim Jones will be joining us.
Now, of course, Jim Jones has the Gangsta Grills with DJ Drama.
He got a lot of things going on, so we're going to kick it with Jim Jones.
And also, we have Styles P from the Lox, of course, and Havoc from Mobb Deep.
They joined Voice.
Very New York show.
Yeah, very New York.
They have a new group called Wreckage Manor, and their album is out today.
OG New York, too.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
So we're going to kick it with both of them in a little bit.
All right, now we got front page news.
What are we talking about, Yeezy?
Yes, let's talk about Florida.
They passed a bill which aims to ban discussions of sexual orientation
and gender identity in schools.
All right, we'll get into that next. It's identity in schools. All right.
We'll get into that next.
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 some front page news.
Now, NFL football.
The Bengals beat the Titans on Saturday.
And also, the 49ers beat the Packers 13-10. And yesterday, the Chiefs beat the Bills 42-36,
and the Rams beat the Buccaneers 30-27.
Now, next week, they play on Sunday.
The Bengals take on the Chiefs.
49ers take on the Rams.
Boy, next weekend got a lot to live up to
because this weekend was a hell of a weekend.
This weekend set a different type of ball for the NFL playoffs.
Sure did.
What else we got, Yeezy?
All right, well, in Florida, the House Committee
has passed a bill which aims to ban
discussions of sexual orientation
and also gender identity in schools.
If this passes, they would bar
educators from talking about
LGBTQ plus topics that they
say are not, quote, age appropriate
or developmentally appropriate for students.
They've also introduced an identical
bill in Florida State Senate.
But, you know, according to a recent report from the Trevor Project,
they're saying that LGBTQ plus youth who learned about issues in school
had 23% lower odds of reporting a suicide attempt in the last year
than those who did not.
So they're calling this the Parental Rights in Education Bill,
also known as the Don't Say Gay Bill.
I'm wondering what the class is about, though what do they what do they teach in these classes well no they they
don't want you to even discuss this in classes they're saying if it's not age appropriate to
not talk about any of these topics and they're saying it's not quote age appropriate so imagine
if you're lgbtq plus youth and you just don't exist basically
i don't i don't know if that's the case i'm just wondering if that you know needs to be discussed
in school because it's my sexual orientation anybody's business i feel like that would cause
more confusion and conflict than anything with kids arguing and debating it doesn't have to be
your personally uh but there are issues that can be discussed in school it's something that you're
going to have to deal with in real life.
Especially if there's LGBTQ plus youth in the
school. So they said, and they've
done studies that show that if you don't learn about those
issues, it does increase
the risk of attempting suicide.
Yeah, if anything, I think they should have classes that teach
people how to be tolerant of each other
and their differences. Letting you
know that there are people out there that
may not identify sexually as you do.
But that's cool.
That's fine, if anything.
I don't know.
I just want to know what the discussion would be about.
What would they be discussing is what I would want to know.
I mean, there's people in history who have identified as LGBTQ+,
so you wouldn't be able to discuss that.
You wouldn't even be able to bring it up.
You can't even say gay because that would be what this bill would mean.
Yeah, but I could still discuss what they did.
The reason I say that is because when you're talking about a heterosexual person
and you talk about what they did in history, you don't say,
oh, this person was heterosexual and they discovered America.
You don't discuss it like that.
Well, I think that because statistics show that these kids do exist in schools and because
it does show that if these issues are discussed it could help children feel more comfortable
especially if that's how they identify and this is the real world I don't even know how you could
not as I said they should have classes that teach people how to be tolerant of each other and their
differences period like that's race you know sexuality gender everything what what what grade
level will you say what did you say um they're talking about middle school students and higher
they're saying it's not age appropriate no they they can't pass that bill i mean medical
middle school students i mean kids have so many questions i mean if i was in middle school and i
wasn't familiar with something or didn't know something wouldn't you ask
you wouldn't be allowed to discuss it in school wouldn't you ask i mean i
don't know it depends well that is your front page news all right and i want to send a rest in peace
to uh police officer jason rivera uh he was murdered in a line of uh duty in new york i
think always on a friday thursday or friday he was only 22 years oh that was hard but i was in
harlem right in harlem and also uh you know uh wilbert mora his partner is still in critical on Friday, Thursday of Friday. He was only 22 years old. Oh, that was horrible. That was in Harlem, right? In Harlem, yeah.
And also, you know, Wilbert Mora, his partner, is still in critical condition.

800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, guys.
It's Sandra, the Haitian therapist.
Hey, Sandra.
Get it off your chest, mama.
I want to talk about Regina King and her son's suicide.
Oh, man. So sad.
So sad, yeah.
It was very awful.
And I know people say you have to check up on your, you know, friends and strong friends.
But the reality is if someone wants to do that, they're going to hide it from you.
The thing I think the best thing to do is to just normalize going to therapy or going to the emergency room if you really feel like you're unsafe.
People like to talk about rags to riches, but they never talk about, like, you know know struggling with depression and i think that the more we normalize talking about depression and feeling sad and you know checking yourself into the the psych unit then
people will feel okay to talk about it i agree 100 yeah the only way to eradicate the stigma is for
everybody to tell a story and you got to create safe spaces for people to feel comfortable to
tell i mean i think the black effect needs a podcast with mental health professionals,
like a panel. We do.
We got mental health
and mindfulness. We got Debbie Brown
with Dropping Gyms.
There's so much information that me as a
professional can tell other people that
they don't know. Other people don't know.
They can come to the emergency room if they're
thinking about killing themselves or
even if they want a referral
for a therapist that's free or low cost absolutely i agree yeah i need you i need to i need to have
you at the mental wealth expo this year uh no i would love that yeah no i'm gonna get it right
now hold on a second don't hang up okay okay hello who's this hey what's happening with you dj envy
what's up brother get it off your chest.

Let's talk Regina King.
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, our condolences
go out to Regina King and her family.
Her son, Ian Alexander
Jr. has died by
suicide.
She did release a statement to People saying,
Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian.
He is such a bright light who cared so deeply about the happiness of others.
Our family asked for a respectful consideration during this private time.
Thank you.
He just turned 26 on Wednesday, and he was her only child as well.
Wow.
Sending their family healing energy. We were just having this conversation on the air friday you know what i mean we were talking about the
kevin gates situation and that's why you just got to be kind of people because you never know what
somebody's you know going through internally so this ending regina king and her family healing
healing energy for sure and people were looking at his social media to see where his headspace
was at before that one of the things that he tweeted just a few days ago, I don't think Instagram is healthy for me.
And he also tweeted, you know, that episode of SpongeBob where they go inside his brain and it's a bunch of mini SpongeBob just losing their ish.
Yeah, that one really hits home.
And that was just five days before he passed.
What if he was talking to anybody?
What if he was sitting down with a therapist or a psychiatrist or anybody?
But we all respect the family
and give them their privacy
and also give our condolences because
that has to be the most hurtful thing
that could happen. Absolutely.
Alright, now Girls Trip 2 is happening.
According to Will Packer, he confirmed that
news on Good Morning America.
The original one came out in 2017.
And here's what he had to say.
The Girls Trip 2 sequel, we are underway.
We are absolutely in the stages.
The ladies are in.
I just talked to the director.
We are underway with Girls Trip 2.
And now it's just about what kind of trip do we take, right?
Post-pandemic with all our favorite crazy ladies.
What do we do with them?
That's what we got to figure out.
Hmm.
All right.
We're here for that.
And another part to you.
Where would you want to go, Yee?
Where would you want to see them?
We've seen Essence already.
Essence Fest South Africa.
They got to go to an island.
No, Essence Fest.
Yeah, they got to go to an island somewhere.
I thought that was the plan.
Essence Fest South Africa or somewhere like that.
I thought it was supposed to be on the motherland.
Spoiler alert.
That wasn't a spoiler alert.
We talked about that when Will was up here.
Remember when Will was up here and we were talking about where should they go for part two?
I don't remember.
Well, now he's saying he doesn't know what type of trip do we take.
So they said post-pandemic.
So maybe that was confirmed.
I don't know.
He's not confirming that as of now things might
have changed. Who knows?
You gotta be vaccinated
wherever you go, right?
Another part two is paid in
full. Damon Dash did confirm to All
Hip Hop that that is happening.
Oh, I'm finished editing that shit
today. I've been editing that motherfucking
for three months straight.
The editor lives with me right now.
We're finished today.
I think I'm going to take it on a theatrical run.
We developed a curriculum around it as well for schools.
So I want to show it in schools.
Like how to become an entrepreneur.
There's a lot of lessons in the movie.
So whatever lessons are in the movie, I want you to get those lessons.
I want you to look at my movies and learn how to be a millionaire if you're not already
When he says editor he means writing right there writing it
Cammin it
Can die well, no can't would be old in the movie now, right?
But I'm sure what we based on a real story
Yeah
But I mean the story out po just got killed a couple of what a couple of months ago so it would have to be the whole thing towards that right he said
it's what happens after they put all that work on the street and somebody had to get that money back
oh all right now diddy apparently wanted the role of bishop in juice that's the role that tupac
played and according to ralph mcdaniel know, he was one of the producers on Juice.
They said, absolutely not.
Here he is talking to Fat Joe.
And he said, Ralph, you working on Juice.
I want to be Bishop.
And I was like, well, we got somebody to be Bishop already.
That's the only one that's casting is Tupac.
And he was like, nah, I'm from Harlem, Ralph.
Just think about it.
And I remember going to the producer and just like just feeling out
just let me get the temperature on it
and he was like absolutely not
absolutely not we already got
Pac that's the only person we have
and Puff just got fired from
Unfinished Business that was the name of the movie
Unfinished Business and we
know him he can't come on this set
so I was like alright alright no problem
that was a great caller.
They made the right decision.
And God don't make mistakes.
Pac was the person for that role.
Can't see nobody else doing that role.
Juice is such a great movie, especially when you go back and watch it now.
You can see Bishop and his father both struggled with mental health issues.
And his pops was dealing with the trauma of you know being sexually assaulted in prison and
you know you know the alternate ending of juice park actually uh committed suicide he let his
hand go he said i'm like he told q i'm not going back to jail and he let his hand go because he was
traumatized by what he saw his dad go through in jail well speaking of tupac there's a new tupac
exhibit wake me when i'm free and it's actually open now you can take a virtual tour of this also Well, speaking of Tupac, there's a new Tupac exhibit, Wake Me When I'm Free.
And it's actually open now.
You can take a virtual tour of this also, by the way, of Wake Me When I'm Free.
It's an interactive exhibit.
It opened Friday in L.A. It's a limited run.
And so if you want to check that out, you can.
Oh, I saw that this weekend.
Everybody was posing in front of like this Thug Life airbrush backdrop.
I wonder what that was.
Yeah, it explores Tupac's time in the studio,
the works that he produced,
the controversy they courted.
They said the true intention
is to peel back the layers
on his early life
and its revolutionary roots.
So you'll be able to see that
if you can make it to LA while that's there,
but you can also virtually do a tour.
That whole story seems so mythical.
Like that whole 90s hip hop,
East Coast, West Coast thing,
but then we got so many people who actually
lived through that who are still here right
now. But it just seems
so mythical.
I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports.
Alright, now we got front page news next. What are we talking about?
Alright,
the Arizona Democratic Party's Executive
Committee has formally censured
Senator Kyrsten Sinema.
We'll tell you what that means for her. Alright, we'll get into that
next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never
be the same.
Our Audible pick of the day is the perfect day
to boss up. This is Rick Ross'
Guide to Building Your Own Empire. Now
listen up. Your first 30 days of Audible are

slash...
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. free when you sign up at audible.com It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are the
Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page
news.
Now over the weekend, the Bengals beat the Titans,
49ers beat the Packers, the Chiefs beat the
Bills, and the Rams beat the Buccaneers.
Listen man, whether your team was playing
or not this weekend, you have to say
this is one of the greatest weekends
in NFL football that we've
ever seen in our lives.
Every game was amazing.
Every game.
And shout out to everybody in North Carolina.
I was at Stats and Cloud out there.
Two black-owned restaurants if you're in the area.
Go definitely check them out.
And I was watching the games.
We had such a great time in there, man.
So shout out to everybody in North Carolina.
And what else we got, Yeezy?
All right.
Well, Senator Kyrsten Sinema has formally been censured by the Arizona Democratic Party, and that's as a result of her inaction on changing the filibuster rules to pass voting rights reform.
So here is what Kyrsten Sinema had to say about voting rights.
While I continue to support these bills, I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country.
All right, now that she's refused to change the filibuster rules alongside Manchin and she sided
with Republicans on that, now the party, the Arizona Democratic Party has promised to give
her a vote of no confidence if she doesn't change her stance. They said this should not be a
partisan issue. The duty to protect our most fundamental right to vote
is one that we all share.
So now a lot of people who supported her
are saying they will not support her
if she does not support a path forward
for the passage of this legislation.
Emily's List was one of the main organizations
that endorsed her,
and they said they will not endorse her again
if she does not change her position.
There's a coalition of groups made up by Democrats in that state and they are asking for acting on
that issue. So there's those activists have also written to other big political donor groups,
including the human rights campaign that focuses on LGBTQ plus issues. And they're looking to find
and fund a primary challenger. They've already raised almost half a million dollars for that.
They have not singled out a candidate.
But some Democrats are lobbying for Representative Ruben Galego to challenge Sinema.
And they actually have a run Ruben run campaign going on.
And that's incredible.
I saw Bernie Sanders all weekend on Manchin and Sinema's ass saying they need to pick a side.
And he's right.
You know, Donald Trump and the GOP don't play that.
It's either get down or lay down.
Democrats got to do the same. And you know who else needs to flex? President Biden
needs to flex on them too. He should use his influence
to prevent the Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee from helping fund their
2024 campaigns. Okay, no
money. And Biden
may have to publicly support.
No, may have. He should publicly support those
primary challenges against him. He absolutely
should. No, we talk about the same thing over and over and over again, though.
Well, we should.
This is our country.
Do you want to keep talking about reality TV?
I feel like nothing changes.
We just talk about the same ish over and over and over again.
We should.
It doesn't always happen.
It doesn't always happen.
Change doesn't always happen quickly.
And here is what Joe Biden has to say about voting.
I hope we can get this done. The honest to God answer is I don't know whether we can get this done.
One thing for certain, like every other major civil rights bill that came along.
If we miss the first time, we can come back and try it a second time.
Hope is not a strategy. Wow. OK. Hope is not a strategy.
It's a strategy. All right. You're the president. Once again, President Biden needs to flex on Manchin and Sinema. And he should use his influence, you know, to cut the money off, prevent the Democratic senatorial campaign committee from funding their campaigns in 2024.
And Biden should publicly support a primary challenge against them. Get down a lay down.
OK, what would Trump do? What would the GOP do in this
situation? Alright? It's either get down or
lay down. We're talking about voting, the cornerstone
of democracy, man. That's what we're talking about.
Voting. After all these years, we're still talking
about voting. It's a lot of things they can
debate on and, you know, Manchin and Sinema
hold up progress on a lot of different things. George
Floyd, Policing Act, Build Back Better. But
damn, voting rights? Voting? We still have
like... We can't remove the filibuster
for voting rights?
But that's why this is
the perfect time
to strategize,
organize,
and support a candidate
who believes in what you believe in
and have them run against
and take that seat.
I've said that.
It's important.
I've been saying that.
I've been saying that.
Yeah, I mean,
that's why people strategize
and put their money behind
certain candidates.
All right, now,
one woman,
Laura Spears of Oakland County, Michigan, found a $3 million lottery prize, and it was in her spam.
So she was looking through something in her spam, and it turns out that she actually had that lottery prize ticket.
Imagine she was looking for something else, and she would never have seen that if she didn't check her spam folder.
So she did log on to her lottery account after that and confirmed that she did win that $3 million.
I get a bunch of those. I just be thinking
it's spam. I'm looking at a bunch
of them right now.
Did you play?
Did they send you an email when you win the lottery? How?
When you buy a lottery ticket, how can they
send you an email?
You don't put your email in.
I buy lottery tickets all the time.
$20 quick pick cash value.
It must be another game. I buy lottery tickets all the time. $20 quick pick cash value. That's what I do.
It must be another game. I need to hear more about this.
It was a $3 million Mega Millions prize, and this is in Michigan, the Michigan Lottery.
How they got her email, though?
She actually bought her winning ticket online at MichiganLottery.com.
That's how she ended up buying it.
She bought it online.
I'm buying all my tickets online now.
Because half the time, sometimes I just forget to check the numbers.
I'm buying them all online.
I see stuff right now.
Claim 25 free chips.
You know.
That's Pornhub, bro.
That's Pornhub.
This ain't no Pornhub.
You see, I got a lot of money pending.
That might not be it.
Well, go ahead.
Get it.
All right.
Well, that is your front page news.
Nigerians don't hit me like they used to, though.
Are those Beaver bucks or lottery?
Beaver bucks.
That was beaver bucks.
Never mind.
All right.
Now, when we come back, Jim Jones will be joining us.
We're going to kick it with Jimmy.
He got a new album.
I guess we call it a mixtape album with DJ Drama.
Project with DJ Drama or Gangsta Grills.
Yeah.
So we're going to kick it with him when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, guys.
I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests
and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've
hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,
join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Jenny Garth, Jana Kramer, Amy Robach, and TJ Holmes bring you I Do Part 2,
a one-of-a-kind experiment in podcasting to help you find love again.
If you didn't get it right the first time, it's time to try, try again as they guide you through this podcast experiment in dating.
Hey, I'm Jana Kramer.
As they say, those that cannot do, teach.
Actually, I think I finally got it right.
So take the failures I've had the second or even third or whatever, maybe the fourth time
around.
I'm Jenny Garth.
29 years ago, Kelly Taylor said these words, I choose me.
She made her choice.
She chose herself.
When it comes to love, choose you first.
Hi, everyone. I'm Amy Robach.
And I'm TJ Holmes. And we are, well, not necessarily relationship experts. If you're ready to dive back into the dating pool and find lasting love, finally, we want to help.
Listen to I Do Part Two on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to
get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something
that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of
the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The Breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, indeed.
Capo Jim Jones.
What's up with my guys?
What's up?
New mixtape out right now, The Gangsta Grills. Right now. We check the building. Yes, indeed. Coppo Jim Jones. What's up with my guys? What's up? New mixtape
out right now, The Gangsta Grills. Right now.
We check the trends. DJ Drama Jim Jones.
That's the drama. Well, what memories
did this Gangsta Grills bring back for you,
man? Because Dipset dominated the
mixtape circuit, and this definitely has that
feeling, especially with dramas.
What memories did it bring back? Memories?
I don't know if it bring back
memories, but it just feel to bring back that feeling
that we were eager to hear when we was coming up.
A drama mixtape was, you know what I mean?
Especially when the Jeezy drama mixtapes
and the Wheezy drama mixtapes,
and then I got a chance to do one,
so we just wanted to give this generation
a little bit of what we used to look forward to
when it was dropping by putting some of the dopest music on these mixtapes. So that's what I was just trying to catch that feeling back a little bit of what we used to look forward to when it was dropping by putting some of the dopest music on these mixtapes so that's what I was just
trying to catch that feeling back a little bit but 2006 I mean it was a blur
I don't really try to...
So you know when y'all put up the Dipset Volume 1s and 2s and 3s?
That's what I was talking about.
That's different. The Dipset mixtapes, we broke ground with that. We started something new out here when we created whole mixtapes with original music.
They were actually albums back then.
But we didn't know how to skip the labels and put them out as fast as we wanted to.
But those were the perfect tools that we would use to market and promote our albums that were coming out.
We've seen people make millions off of the mixtapes in the streets.
That was back then
my man
Brazzy
used to do
like a hundred
thousand dollars
in two days
off a dip set
mixtapes right
on 145th street
when it was
ten dollars
a mixtape
they was
doing
I never
used to run
down on like
the bootlegs
or nothing
early in the
days
we would run
down on some
bootlegs
we kicked
over a few
tables
ran in a few
stores
regular
yeah
the last time you were up here
we were talking about your era we were saying that we were surprised that no label has hired you as
an anr or an executive not yet still not yet no hello still not yet still not yet but i took it
um upon myself to start working in my own favor and and that's what I did with the Gangsta Grizz.
I put some of the dopest up-and-coming talent that have buzz
or should have a buzz on this project,
and I kind of just was featured on the whole project,
like 80% of the project.
I let everybody lead the way, pick their own energies.
That's like you see on Amigo's record.
That was takeoff, like put up a beat.
Now load that up.
Let me get busy.
He just went crazy on the record.
I just had to follow the flow.
You know what I mean?
So that was just you showing people,
look, man, I got the best day out here.
Let me show y'all who's next.
Yeah, exactly.
And I put a lot of up-and-coming New York artists on there.
But we kind of encompass every sound of music,
every sound of rap music that's in the game right now,
from West Coast music to midwest music
south music of course new york music we got some of the illest people we got uh ice where vezzo
and peasy from detroit then we got filthy rich from the west coast um we got the ross swiss connie diamonds op uh dusty low king did a dice peso king street yellow tape
pap chanel she's from atlanta but that's just so much young artists and i always wanted to do a
project like this but didn't know how to kind of get it in and peso was like yo i think it's time
for you to do a drama you got drama number you should hit him see if he went i hit drama
immediately when he said that it made all the sense
and drama was like running.
It was like,
all right.
You got a record
with your workout crew,
Jim Jones.
Fitlit,
shout out to the guys.
Dave Neese,
Maino,
Fab.
I ain't seen Fab
with you in a couple of days though.
No,
I ain't gonna front.
I got receipts
in my phone.
I forgot to post one
and then right
when I leave here
I'm gonna go meet him
at the gym.
So Fab,
Fab sometimes
fashionably late but he definitely wants to do it.
He shows up and gets his work in and things like that.
So that's all I can ask.
I'm hype, actually.
We started Fit Lit.
It's a fitness initiative.
We're going to give you a different experience in the gym.
I own a gym in New Jersey, Iron Rain Fitness.
So we're about to get a little renovation. But it's called Fit Lit. We're going to change your experience to come into
the gym, feeling like you're working out, to come in the gym and feel like you just
went to a party and all things. So Envy, I don't know how much you charge to book, but
we might have to come and book you to do the DJ. You're going to have hosts. We're going
to have some live performances. Your bottle of water might have sparkles on it. We're
going to give you a feel. You know what i mean like so we're gonna change the perception of what it is to feel
like to come to a gym boot camp classes spin classes we got all work all the pull-up bars so
we do a calisthenic class for all the guys i like to do pull-ups and start to do it once a week so
right now i got the guys on the eight-week program or we we got ourself an eight-week program just to
get them acclimated and main on them re-acclimated to the gym davis is young so you know i'll kind of
let him do what he did it's different he don't he don't he don't understand what it takes to wake up
but it's good though everybody's adamant about what we're doing so we're about to bring something
new to the game the parentheses for that record is Betty White. Why is that? Why is it?
The day that Betty White had passed
is the same day Chrissy's white Porsche had got delivered,
and we named it Betty White, so.
Oh, wow, wow, wow.
That's how I started my rhyme off,
so it was like, we was gonna name it Betty White.
They was like, put Fit Lit in front
to push our initiative.
Okay.
That's some real shit there, boy.
Absolutely. I wanted to ask you about. The Porsche and the initiative. Okay. That's some rich shit there, boy. Absolutely.
I wanted to ask you about the Porsche.
That's just you.
You think it was likely.
It was likely.
But since we talking,
I asked you how many miles
of Ferrari she had
had on it with her.
Damn.
That Ferrari
would never leave the garage.
Word.
Same thing with this one.
About to be stuck in the garage.
Like, I don't understand,
but when she rides it,
she rides it.
Now, I was going to ask you, your engineer, something happened with your engineer and you had to give him cpr oh my
i'm photographer my man flea what happened with that she miami calling out and i don't know man
just turns around and somebody screaming my name my man flea was not doing too good he wasn't
responding he was past he was incoherent. Does everybody know you know CPR? No.
Yo, bro, for the life of me, I don't know why.
That's why I keep saying that.
That's why I be like, it's a God.
Because it's only got to be, that got to happen in that sequence for God to put his hands on me.
And I put my hands on him.
Because they didn't run to the ambulance.
They called the ambulance after they called me.
And I was like, call the ambulance.
Like, what are we doing here? yo but god bless something happened that I jumped into action dig like when did you learn CPR like when I was like 12 for my sister she has a real heart
a real heart disease a real heart condition none of these are a real heart condition that she has
since she was baby she was a miracle baby they didn't expect her to last at all since birth.
She's 37 years old now.
She's my miracle woman and my superwoman.
So our whole family had to learn CPR just in case when she got home,
if anything happened, we'd be able to help her out and things like that.
And I don't, hey.
So you used it before, before this time?
No, I just got trained To use it In case
At 12
When you remember
It says 12
It wasn't
It's really not that hard
Like I was telling
Like it was
It's like
And he's like
Riding a bike
It's real simple
Once you know it
It's not like
Rocking signs
No I didn't have to
Give him off the mouth
Resuscitation
I was gonna ask
Did you say pause before
I was gonna
See I already
I thought he was gonna
Come and get that out there
Early
He said that to me earlier
I said ask him Hey yo no mouth involved you heard me oh
yo i don't i think he might not he might not made it if i had to give him out no jim come on man People die every day, B.
That would be the most hollering s*** ever, yo. No, not super hollering.
Like, no way, yo.
Them n****s hollering is fast.
So you just let them die?
Yo, man.
I couldn't do them off the mouth for one of them.
They die every day, B.
Goodness gracious.
Nah, God bless, God bless.
God bless.
We could joke about this, man.
Definitely.
But I encourage everybody to go learn CPR.
It's a quick course.
I think it's a couple of hours to get you certified.
And it's something that'll stick with you for life.
You never know where you might be at to where you can lend a helping hand.
All right, we got more with Jim Jones when we come back.
Let's get into a single.
We set the trends.
Jim Jones.
Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it
with the homie Jim Jones.
Charlamagne.
Why do you think
the younger generation
moved away from the NYC sound?
I don't know.
There's a couple variables
with that.
Maybe if our generation
was a little bit more
adapting to the younger generation,
there wouldn't be
so much of a separation. Their separation was a bit bit more adapting to the younger generation, there wouldn't be so much of a separation.
Their separation was a bit of a
rebellion also.
You heard? Because they're a bunch of
badasses, and we were a bunch of badasses
also, but we ain't, we
weren't necessarily looking back to
cater to the youth that
was coming behind us, and now a lot of these
old heads be mad at them
and go, it ain't like the old
day oh that ain't how how no it's not it's not it's none of that it's it's 2022 you heard adapt
get with it or you're gonna get lost in the sauce looking like an old head booger you heard and i'm
not with that so i feel like the sounds changed because these kids start adapting to what they
like the most the energy and where the energy was going was to the south and to these different
sounds and to the drill and these kids is outside and the energy was going was to the south, into these different sounds, into the drill.
And these kids is outside.
And Chief Keefin was young.
And you dig it, it just started to make sense.
But wherever it came from, I'm not mad at it.
Well, y'all touched it early, too, though.
Exactly.
Yeah, we were always into different sounds.
You're always into different sounds.
You know what I mean?
That was how Dipset kind of got his universal name,
because we mixed with everybody around the country
when it came to the music.
But this sound now is just deliberate for New York.
They put a little bit of that drill.
But now it's kind of expanding as you've seen them
starting to mix and drill with actual rap beats.
I love it.
New York did need a new sound to kind of get us off our feet.
And with this sound that we have now,
with the youngsters leading the way,
we're kind of getting our name back a little bit in these streets on these radio waves like before you wouldn't hear
no music down south like maybe a pop smoking all the way up fragile like whoever had their
but it's not too many now you start to hear hear that New York sound in these clubs down south,
that drill sound in these clubs down south.
You see it on the gram.
So you got to tip a hat to these youngsters.
They figured out how to get us back in the game.
Can it ever be back, though, if it's drill?
Because drill is a Chicago thing.
I mean, I don't think it's a necessity.
It is a Chicago thing.
It started in Chicago, but we kind of coined it and put our own spin on it.
Where is now a New York drill thing?
You dig?
And I take it none way from Chicago.
They gave us the inspiration that we needed to kind of get our own sound in the midst of what they did.
And now it's translating into numbers.
Kids are getting rich, signing million dollar deals all from New York, which wasn't happening a few years ago.
It was dry. All the labels is here and it was not signing. No artists from New York, which wasn't happening a few years ago. It was dry.
All the labels was here, and it was not signing.
No artists from New York.
None of the radio stations were playing.
No artists from New York.
The countdown didn't have no artists from New York on it.
You know what I mean?
Now all the countdowns got some artists from New York on it,
and it feels good because I'll be watching the radio and listening.
So I'm happy for where we're at.
Now it doesn't take away from the bars.
As you see, you still have that authentic feeling music on the Gangsta Grill,
even though I got all the youngsters on it.
New York is New York.
You can't take that New York sound nowhere.
If we make a record, you can make a record for New York.
Me, Fab, in New Yorkork that record is going to mean
something we're going to be able to perform that record anywhere in new york new york has its own
sound you got to get hit with it but now we got a little bit more commercial with the drill and it's
bringing it back to some money for us so i encourage the kids to keep digging what do you
tell these young artists man especially when it comes to the streets because these little
could be wilding out here seem like 10 times So even making an investment in them, it's risky,
because you just don't know what could happen.
It is very risky.
Hey, listen, I've come up different.
So for me, preaching to them, it's a little bit,
I'm going to give them the proper advice.
I'm not here to try to change your life and make you,
I'm just trying to give you a fair warning of things that could happen if you keep going in that direction and if you want to do
music one of these things you're going to have to put there because it's not going to add up you're
either going to do the streets or you're going to do the music because they never mix it never
works i've never seen nobody do that successfully as we can see so many examples in front of us and it's just nasty
the vows that's going on hip-hop is crazy like when we were coming up we were protected as artists
there's no protection for the artists any anymore we're straight targets and i stand on what i said
being a rapper is the most dangerous job in the world as we can see so many deaths happen in
these past three years and i'm talking about not just any deaths. Some of the biggest artists that we've seen come out this game are
gunned down due to the street violence and things like that.
So, you know.
I remember when you said that everybody gave you flack.
And I'm like, was Jim early or was he just seeing it before everybody else?
I mean, not to be like that.
Since I've said that comment,
I would like somebody to actually count the deaths of rappers that have
happened, that has happened since that comment and you
tell me if I hate it on the head you know I mean so I mean I know you move
differently so so is there a way to move differently because in New York it's
like they I feel like in New York sometimes they want you to get either
robbed or shot or put in jail right because you can't carry a firearm you're
not allowed to, right?
But the person that's trying to rob you,
they don't care about that.
But then if you carry a firearm,
you get three years automatically.
But the person that's trying to rob you
or shoot you or gun you down,
they don't care about that.
So it puts you in an ill predicament.
So what do you tell those young artists how to move?
You know, we were in a day where, you know,
we could move a little differently.
We weren't getting harassed.
It wasn't as bad.
Now it just seems like it's wild, wild west in New York.
Pop Hunter to the shooter.
Let me stop.
Let me stop.
Let me stop.
Let me stop.
Let me stop.
Let me stop.
Now, as a way to move, you got to move tactical, Wally.
I mean, for those who don't have the proper finances to actually afford the proper security
and move the way-
But most artists don't.
They're coming up.
They don't have the money to pay a security guard or-
All right.
So this is honestly what I tell you, Digg. artists don't they're coming up they don't have the money to pay a security guard and i so this
is honestly what i tell you dig you want to be doing music right you're the artist you're the
rapper these dudes around you got to take you as the most important thing in this group right
something happens to you nothing's ever going to amount to nothing for them like they're not going
to get to where they would like to go by using you as their vessel so therefore they have to hold you in high regard the highest regard of all so if
there's something that you were used to carry they have to carry it for you it was something that was
would happen they would have to do it for you and they have to react fast you have to trust in them
that they're going to hold you up because they see the future and believe in you that you're going to
take them out of this threshold where they have to do these things for you now.
You heard?
That's the illest thing I could tell them because that was the way I had to move at a time.
But you dig?
Like, you got to figure out how to move tactical in these situations.
And yes, it's war.
There's going to be some casualties and some people not going to make it. But the principle has to be protected at all times
if you want to get any success in this situation.
And that's what I tell them, honestly.
Absolutely.
You got to figure it out from there.
I'm not telling you to stop doing what you're doing.
I'm telling you to move a little bit smarter
so I give you better chances that you'll be successful
at helping your dudes out
and not have to do the same things anymore
because you'll be having that money
for the proper security.
Everybody could be a little bit easy.
And it feels like y'all,
this generation of artists
don't have the same things
to look out for like y'all did.
Like, was hip-hop police good or bad for New York?
It's funny you say that.
Shouts to Sean.
Sean was a very, very, very respectable
hip-hop police.
You know, Sean's in Florida now.
That's dope.
He's an officer in Florida. I ran into him when I was in Florida. Wow. I don't want to run into now that's dope he's an officer in Florida I ran into him when I was in Florida Wow I don't want to run
into him in Florida shout out to Sean he was one of the most respectable individuals for him be on the other
side of us and I always kept it like that I don't know how did you new dudes
going around um but we're not gonna get into that um but you did they just
trying to catch the young rappers up.
Any young rappers out there, watch the rap police.
They're not your friends.
They're going to make it seem like there's some type of security here for you.
They're not.
They're here to catch you slipping.
The moment they catch you with a firearm, they're going to do it to you, dig?
So if I was you, do not get caught with a firearm.
That's all they want.
They don't care about anything else remotely.
That firearm in this city, they know you're moving, reckless. You like you'll say it sturdy you dig but the sturdy part is to not get caught by them boys
because they catch you with a gun they're gonna roof you as you see what they do it don't even
matter so just be smart when you're moving around here if you're the artist don't be in the car with
the hammer you heard if your artist don't have the
hammer directly behind you in the car in back of you you heard be a little move smart that's what
we're gonna say about that all right we got more with jim jones when we come back let's get into
a single we set the trends jim jones migos it's the breakfast club good morning good morning
everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
That was We Set the Trends.
Jim Jones featuring Migos.
Jim Jones is here.
We got to ask, you were out in Florida.
You were eating at Prime, allegedly.
Allegedly, there was an incident.
That's kind of crazy right after the police question, Jim.
I think you need to...
That's kind of crazy.'s cold you know they allegedly that you and Freddie
Gibbs got into a little tussling hey it's cold
now I mean I don't tussle baby no I don't know what they're talking about, man. You know, rumors fly. That's it.
Listen, how important was the dip set in Locks versus?
Very important.
Super, super important for the culture.
That was a historic moment in hip-hop.
Sometimes I'd like to downplay it because I didn't like how Jada came out there.
I want all smoke with Jada.
Let me stop.
But no, it was one of the dopest events hip-hop has seen.
It felt like BDP days, back in the days when they used to rock him
and Big Daddy Kane coming into battle in some of these spots.
It felt like video music boxing that joint.
It just felt like high octane, the most dysfunctional level with love
that you could ever get to.
The thinnest threshold. It's like, how close
can you get to that line of discretion
without crossing it? You know what I mean?
But it was dope.
So I tip my hat to everybody, all
parties included. Shouts to Swizz,
shouts to Timbaland, Trilla
for putting on such a dope event.
Did y'all prepare? Because it seemed like the locks
they were practicing, they were preparing.
Did the dip set really prepare? Because y'all didn't seem like y'all were in unison um
now you said that right because we weren't in unison don't mean that we didn't prepare
yeah things happens it might f**k up the nucleus and things like that but
sh** happens shout out to locks for being prepared shout out to Jada for uh definitely coming in as a sportsman as he is he's
been kicking ass on verses all year i gotta get i gotta take my hat too if you if you had to do it
over how would you do it and i had to do it over how would i do it i don't i wouldn't it's it's a
lot like it was a dip set versus locks so that's how i kept it like you did like it was dip set
versus locks it wasn't Jim Jones versus Lox.
We all got different ways we would do it.
Now, if it was a Jim Jones versus somebody in New York City,
it might go way different.
Now, we're going to ask, too, with Dipset.
We see the Lox do albums and projects,
and now it seems like the members of Dipset, everybody's cool.
Will we be getting a new album, a new situation?
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know when that would happen, but I look forward to it.
I see Cam dibbling and dabbling back into music.
It feels like you're the only hungry one, Jim,
when it comes to music.
I'm hungry, period, when it comes to money.
Music makes money.
I'm into it.
You heard?
Nah, but besides that, both Diddy and Hov told me these things.
And that's why I was like, they both said, man, music fuels everything.
Get back to the music.
All this brilliant, smart you is and all these business.
Like all these things are going to work in your favor as soon as you get another hit.
You heard?
And I just been digging.
We're not trying to be being consistent.
Person told me not too long ago, which was the advice I've been digging and trying to be, we're not trying to be being consistent. Person told me not too long ago
which was the advice
I've been following
all my life
was when you can't
stay motivated,
stay consistent
and that's what
I've been doing for years.
We set the trends
as a record.
I mean,
I want to make sure
Ghazi puts the right thing
behind it
because that's the record.
Yeah,
Ghazi texted me
like four in the morning
where the Cali time
is different
just to tell me that
like yo,
I'm putting everything on this record.
Like, don't worry.
We're going full steam with this record, which is pretty dope.
The record has been organic thus far.
Like, I really haven't put a dollar on that record.
Like, it was just the DJ showing love.
I did groundwork that we used to do before Instagram.
I did a bunch of dub plays, did a bunch of drives.
I did like 300 dub plays.
Like, who does that anymore for these DJs?
Like, you know what I mean?
I just was like, you know what?
If I'm going to win, I'm going to start with the DJs,
the people that I know are really
going to be responsible for me, for getting me back
on them airwaves, getting me back in the streets,
getting me back in them clubs.
And at work, I had a decent record.
And I was telling somebody the other day, like,
because, you know, they always ask, yo, ain't Envy your man?
Yo, ain't Dutch your man?
Yo, why don't he play?
I'm like, listen, there's almost so much they could do
if you don't give them the right work, you heard?
It's like any block, bro.
If you got a bomb, the work going to sell itself, you heard?
Like, if you don't got a bomb, you got to step on it.
You got to do different things to get that work off.
Cool.
I got a bomb. Now we can work. I see all the DJs play and I love it
I got a lot of people think just because your man is a DJ or world likes that they could play trash
Just whack records and when Jim sent me that record I said what I test this is it
This is the record and I've been I've been on it like Jim Jim and put not some of the even putting out the best Music in which been on it ever since. Yeah, but then you're like, Jim been putting out some of the, he been putting out the best
music in New York for some years.
Yeah, but you know what we trying to say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You heard?
Like, to get this, for Envy to wholeheartedly be in this building and telling people, like,
yo, bugger, why is, this need to, you dig?
He need that work.
You know what I mean?
Like, he can't go in there with a half-assed record.
Like, my man, like, you dig?
Like, nah no he won't
And I respect that you did cuz that's how I want to black. Oh, I got one
I'm gonna go crazy in the building for me. Mm-hmm. No matter how long I'm back though
Yeah, so it feels good to him say that text me that I was like, oh, yeah cuz he snobby My lion? No, he's bougie as hell. What?
My bougie, bad as bougie. He's bougie as a mother.
Lyskin to the T, super lyskin.
I'm going to call him beige and bougie.
Hell yeah.
So when you get heavy, like, no, you got one.
You're like, oh, yes, you did.
Because then I know all the people in this industry that think like him,
that are in them positions like him, and they can just like, oh, Jim got one.
That's interesting that Diddy and Hov said you got to have a hit,
because I'm like, man, you got catalog.
I feel like hip-hop's the only genre that think like that.
You got to have something now.
Like, no, we'll beat your catalog.
But not say, this is,
both told me on separate occasions throughout the years,
but what they're saying is that music always leads to business for us even though it's 90 business and 10 talent that 10 talent ain't leading you
ain't getting in that 90 business so if you got a hit or you got a record that's being played on
the radio and turning into then guess what everything else comes with it all ancillary
money come with his e if you got cryptocurrency, if you got fitness,
if you got anything, it's going to come very easily.
These companies are going to start coming in, giving you money,
sponsorship checks, all of that.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's crazy.
Now, I wanted to clear up.
I thought this was the funniest thing when I first seen it,
when the media tried to change your words, right?
He was on lip service.
What did they take out of context about that?
It made it seem like I was tongue-kissing my moms.
I was having fun.
But first of all,
every black man has kissed their moms in their mouth all the time.
So they just took it out of...
And that's what Angie was asking.
No, I was not tongue-kissing my moms.
Like, come on, give me a goddamn break.
It's the media.
They take everything out of, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
But for the most part, I was trending and was viral all month.
That helped the record.
We saw some more trends, you heard?
I was, hey.
See, I worry, the only reason I worry about stuff like that
is because people know you, right?
So it's like
These kids are disrespectful
So you might be walking
And they be like
Oh yo you did such and such
To your mom
And then
I don't wonder how that would
I think they know Jim
I wonder how that would
We know how that would
We know how that would
That's my point
I think they know Jim enough
I think they know Jim enough
So I see you on the gram
And I'm like you know
You laughing about it
But I'm like
Man these kids out here
Stupid yo
And they gonna
They gonna learn the hard way Yeah i'm hungry i think i feel like
problems
i was surprised now you know what let me leave leave it alone. I was waiting for it.
Me and Charlamagne

The footage of what?
Nothing.
I'm hungry.
I want to go to Prima 12.
That's what I'm saying.
You're waiting for what footage?

Even though we don't want that,
but we don't want to see
nobody and no problems.
Nobody.
No, it's love.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999,
a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel.
I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez,
will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy
and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home
and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother
died trying to get you
to freedom. At the heart of it
all is still this painful family
separation. Something that as
a Cuban, I know all
too well. Listen to
Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez
story as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is the rumor report
With Angela Yee on the
Breakfast Club
Well Rihanna has Opened her first brick-and-mortar location

Now, in a press release, Rihanna said,
we wanted to be able to connect with our customers in real life
and give them something they have never seen before.
Creating the space took a lot of imagination,
married with the things I've always wanted to change
about my own experiences as a customer.
Oh, drop one of those bombs, big break.
There's a lot of technology in there, too.
They have, like, body scanning,
and there's going to be mannequins

Boom.
It's something, it's always something different.
And I don't know.
I'm just, guys want to fight me for a hundred million bucks.
I don't think I'll ever do stuff like that anymore. I wanted to
do it the first time just for fun.
Just to have fun. And then some
people took it to another level and
made it financial and then the fun
went out of it. Yeah, man.
Mike Tyson want to be here for a while.
At the end of the day, you can't beat Father Time.
So, you know, regardless of
what you were and who you were, you're going
to get old. You get in that ring and one of them young boys hit you the wrong way.
That hundred million dollars ain't worth it.
Yeah, and I could understand wanting to do things that are just fun now.
You get to that point where you're like, I've been fighting my whole entire life.
It seems like he enjoys his podcast and all of those things.
So you got to figure out I don't have to do things I don't want to anymore.
Now, I would take the money if I could trust one of these young boys.
If I could trust one of these young boys not to guard him
and try to knock me out for clout and be like, look, man.
Oh, you mean set it up.
That's right.
We're going to go in this ring.
We're going to get this hundred million.

Okay?
You still got to make it look real.
No, you don't.
We're going to still watch it because we silly.
Who cares?
Plus, anything could happen, too.
You know, even if you do decide to set it up that way
you can't trust these young boys you never know especially if it feels like every every year
something's deteriorating you just never know that's right and you can't trust these young
boys not to knock you out just because you mike tyson just so they can say they did it

So, you know, Princess Love and Ray J got married back in 2016.
They have two children together.
She first filed for divorce in May of 2020.
Then she dismissed that divorce filing.
Looked like they had made up during the quarantine.
But then Ray J filed for divorce in September of 2020.
Then they dismissed that one in February of 2021. Then it seems like they worked things out. But now he filed for divorce in September of 2020. Then they dismissed that one in February of 2021.
Then it seems like they worked things out, but now he filed for divorce.
And this is the third filing for divorce back in October of 2021.

Another part that I did, I
really loved and enjoyed doing it. I talked
to some small business owners, black
women who had some small businesses
and they came to my coffee shop in Brooklyn.
We had an amazing discussion, so that was dope.
And you know what I'm talking about. My favorite subject,
mental health, with my good brother
Jay Barnett. Dropping the clues, moms, for Jay Barnett.
And some others.
Okay? Yeah.
Alright. Well, me and the wife are talking
relationship stuff, so I can't wait for you guys
to check it out. Alright, now let's get to that donkey.
We only do it at the same time every day.
For 12 years.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
This is on 12 years.
They want this man
to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne
to tap these gloves. Let's go.
They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the
Donkey of the Day. They chose you.
It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Alright, we're on the donkey of the day. They chose you. The breakfast club, bitches.
Who's donkey of the day today?
All right, we're here.
All right.
Donkey of the day for Monday, January 24th
is a story that I've read in the sun.
And it's made its way to the NY Post and other outlets.
And I must say, even though the story is highly entertaining,
I simply don't believe it.
Not at all.
Okay, and I'm not sure who gets the donkey of the day
in this situation.
Is it the alleged giver, whose name is is Colleen or is it the alleged receiver boyfriend whose name hasn't been revealed?
Which is all the more reason why I don't believe this story.
Now, I know what you're saying, Uncle Charlotte, Brother Leonard.
Why are you giving donkey of the day out if you don't believe in the story?
Because to me, donkey of the day has never been about the individual or individuals.
It's about the idea.
Okay?
It's about people getting the credit they deserve for being stupid.
Stupid ideas.
But actually getting the credit they deserve for doing stupid things.
Okay?
I believe this story, if real, falls under that category.
But I feel like they have collectively earned a hee-haw together, maybe.
I don't know.
Now, salute to all the organ donors out there.
Drop on the clues box for all the organ donors man all right you are appreciated okay donation of organs is
such a selfless act that doesn't get celebrated enough all right snapple fact experts say when
you donate organs and tissue after you die you can save or improve as many as 75 lives
a lot of grieving family members say that knowing their loved one helps save or improve someone's
life help them cope with their loss.
And it's not just those who have transitioned.
Living donators serve as a viable option as well, especially in cases of kidney and liver transplants.
You can save the life of both the recipient and the next person on the waiting list.
So salute to all the organ donors out there living and those no longer with us physically.
Now, if you're going to donate an organ, do it because you want to.
All right. Do it because it's the right thing to do.
And if you and a person have a relationship, doesn't matter what the relationship is.
OK, family member, friend. In the case we are discussing today, boyfriend and girlfriend.
All right. Don't do it. And if things don't go right with the individual,
you are constantly reminding them of what they have, you know, what you have done for them.
All right. And this is what is happening with Colleen. See, Colleen had the chance to change her boyfriend's life six years ago.
Her boyfriend, boyfriend. OK, her boyfriend has been struggling with chronic kidney disease since the age of 17.
So he was on dialysis and his kidneys functioned at just five percent of the average capacity.
So Colleen decided to go see if she was a match because she didn't want to watch him die.
What happened next?
Well, in a series of TikTok videos, the surgery was a success and both made a full recovery.
And according to Colleen, seven months later, he was in these streets cheating on her.
She kept that man alive, allegedly just so he could go cheat on her. She kept that man alive, allegedly, just so he could go cheat on her.
Colleen explained on the talker at the Tix how her ex told he was going to Las Vegas for a bachelor party with some guys in his church.
She was in the thick of final exams and trusted her boyfriend completely.
And then later on, he turned up on her doorstep and confessed to cheating.
All right.
They argued.
She gave him a second chance.
And three months later, the guy dumped Colleen over the phone.
He said to her, allegedly, if we are meant for each other, God will bring us back together in the end.
But it only got messier from there.
This mystery boyfriend, kidney recipient, told Colleen she only donated your kidney.
You only donated your kidney to look good.
All right.
Question, though, if you donate a
kidney to your significant other can they ever complain about you not getting them something
for birthdays christmas valentine's i wish you would complain about not getting something for
valentine's when i gave you my heart literally well i'd be dead so it don't matter but you
understand my point uh i believe this story is cap okay fiction a tall tale an entertaining tall
tale but a story nonetheless and the reason you would be, you know, the reason I think it's capped is because you
would be saying this human's name if this man really existed.
Ain't no way you tell this whole story and don't give us his name, his social media handle,
something.
Maybe she did on the tacos of the ticks.
Maybe the folks who be all over Tic Tac know his name, but I don't, okay?
Maybe they know who he is.
But if you was going to put someone on blast because you gave them a whole
kidney, I think you would say that person's
name. Number two reason I think this story
is capped, correct me if I'm wrong, because we're going
to open the phone lines. I'm not a doctor.
I just have an honorary doctorate from South Carolina State
University. Drop on the clues box for South Carolina State.
Alright?
I thought when it came to
transplants, sex mattered.
I thought sex mattered when it came to organ transplants.
I thought sex differences influenced organ transplant rejection rate.
I thought it depended on what you were transplanting.
Yeah.
So I did some research this morning, and by research, I mean Google.
You Googled?
And Google said, only in some exceptional conditions,
male donor to female recipient kidney transplant may be successful and female
donors to male recipients are not suggested,
especially in aged patients with the history of dialysis.
I don't know.
Like I said,
we can open the phone lines,
the doctors to put us on the game,
but let's just say hypothetically,
I believe this story,
my brother,
if what I just read about female donors,
if what I just researched on Google,
okay, is true about, uh, you know, female donors, the male recipients, if it's true and it only in some exceptional conditions, is it successful?
Then you got to get the biggest hee haw for missing out on your soulmate.
Do you know how many people are out here praying to God to bless them with the right one. Do you know how many people are out here with someone asking for a sign from God to let them know this is indeed the person they're supposed to be with? If a woman, number one, wants to give you her kidney and said woman is a match and doesn't want to see you die, you're supposed to drop to your knees and say, will you marry me?
Period. And Colleen, I'm glad you did the right thing.
Okay, organ donors save lives.
But when you do something out of the goodness of your heart, or in this case, the goodness of your kidney,
just do it because whether or not you gave him a kidney has nothing to do with whether he wanted you to be with him or not.
Okay, I know it's upsetting because you could have just let him die.
But look at it this way.
You gave him the strength to make some other woman happy
all right that man will probably get with some other woman love them have kids beautiful healthy
babies that will grow up in this planet and contribute greatly to society and they have you
to thank for that colleen allegedly even though i don't believe the story. I still have to let the hammer tones
give this young man the biggest hee-haw.
Oh, now you are the donkey
of the day.
You are the donkey
of the day.
Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
I don't believe this story, by the way.
I think it's cat, but nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining.
And content is king.
What's the question?
The question is,
should you be donating kidneys to your boyfriend?
Don't you think that's a little bit much?
Did she ask for a back, though?
Because I would want my back.
You break up with me?
Nah, I need that back. I don't think it's You break up with me? No, I need that bag.
I need my need that bag.
I don't think it's a warranty on the kidney.
No, I need that bag.
I don't think you keep the receipt on the kidney, man.
No, I need that bag.
You got to give me.
Come on, bring that bag.
I don't think you keep the receipt on the kidney, man.
All right.

I just want to know what people think about this situation.
I really do.
Call us up right now.
Let's talk about it again.
Because did he owe her anything?
Did he owe her a life?
Yes.
I need my kidney back.
Did he owe her, you know, to be with her for the rest of her life?
I think he should have.
But did he really owe her?
No.
She did something out of the goodness of her heart or the goodness of her kidney.
He's alive.
He decided to move on with his life.
No, I did that because I thought we were going to be together.
Well. We're not together. That's why you should have got the ring first. He's about to move on with his life. No, I did that because I thought we were going to be together. Well, we're not together.
That's why you should have got the ring first.
He's about to die. That is true. I got to keep you alive
to get married. Wow.
I kept you alive to get married and then you...

The situation is desperate.

Let's talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Now, if you just joined us, Charlamagne gave donkey today to who?
There's a guy, allegedly, who's a boyfriend of a woman named Colleen.
Colleen is 30, and she was on the talker of the ticks, and she donated a kidney.
She donated a kidney to her ex-boyfriend
and then claimed that he cheated and
dumped her just 10 months later and accused
her of going ahead with the transplant
just to look good.
Wow, so she gave him the kidney.
Yes, and he cheated seven months later.
They got back together, but then he dumped
her three months later.
I'm going to need my kidney back. You have to run that back.
We have to go to a doctor. I need my kidney back. I can't just give that to you.
You can't force somebody to give a kidney back.
Why can't you? That's terrible.
He got that kidney acting all brand new.
If I buy you
jewelry or whatever,
I get that back. I need my kidney back.
What are you thinking? What are you going to do? Go inside
of him and grab it? You can't force
anybody to do it. Unfortunately,
when you do something for somebody, it's never because you have to have
expectations. I mean, you can have expectations
but they might not be met. And so
this is a valuable
life lesson. If I'm going to give you my kidney or any
other type of organ, it doesn't
necessarily mean we're going to end up together.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Your boyfriend needs a kidney. You giving it to him?
Um... I mean, is he, like, about to die?
How bad is it?
How much he got left on his battery?
How dead is your battery?
What's his percentage like?
You foul.
I tried to help him find somebody, but yes, I would if I had to,
if it was, you know, to save his life.
If it was life or death.
Oh, man.
Yeah, I don't know what you do in a situation like this.
I don't think that she should have felt like he owed her anything, though.
Because even though she gave him a kidney, it's not like he was destined to be with her for the rest of their life.
If somebody gave you a kidney, yes, you are.
Man, I mean, it depends.
Because if you guys are miserable together, you can't force yourself to stay with somebody out of obligation. Don't take my kidney if we're miserable. If we're miserable, I mean, it depends. Because if you guys are miserable together,
you can't force yourself to stay with somebody out of obligation. Don't take my kidney if we're miserable.
If we're miserable, don't take my kidney.
Those conversations could get harsh, though.
I should have let you die.
You know what I mean?
Offering him alcohol.
Hello, who's this?
It's Asia.
Asia, what's up?
Talk to us.
So I get the whole kidney thing.
I get the I'm going to donate it because I love you.
But if you're going to cheat on me, you're going to leave me for somebody else.
I'm going to have to take that return back, you know.
See?
What are y'all talking about?
That's not how kidneys work, people.
We're talking about kidneys.
You don't just give a kidney back.
You ain't going to use your kidney with another bitch.
Nah, F that.
I want my kidney back.
Right.
That's what I'm saying. You know, I'm going to take it and then leave. Like, you can be happy with somebody bitch. Nah, F that. I want my kidney back. Right. That's what I'm saying.
You're not finna take it
and then leave.
Like, you can be happy
with somebody else,
but you can be happy
with her kidney.
You can get it on that.
You know what would be so funny?
Be like, well, come get it then.
Come get it if you want it that bad.
You really want it?
Come get it.
Go over there with a knife.
What the hell?
Laying up with somebody else
for my kidney.
Hello, who's this?
Catherine.
Hey, Catherine.
Would you donate your kidney?
Well, okay, so it was going to be a lose-lose anyway.
So I heard Charlamagne say that, you know, she should have got the ring first.
But you being married, folks still cheat on their spouse.
And he still could have left.
So, you know, would you want your boyfriend to die?
Or, you know, he was probably your boyfriend to die? Or, you know,
he was probably going to leave anyway,
no matter what.
It just probably wasn't in his heart.
And like Charlamagne said,
you know,
she donated a kidney
and he'd probably get married
to the love of his life
and have babies and everything
or whatever.
That's right.
So she can look at it like,
you know,
Oh, go ahead.
I wanted to also say about the um
the gender translate thing um it really doesn't matter in some cases like you said i know you
said you googled it my aunt her sister had diabetes real bad she needed a kidney so she
asked my aunt but my aunt had the sickle cell trait so she could not donate but she um the
next person was her brother and it was a successful transplant.
Now, hold on.
It's 2022, so I have to ask.
Did her brother used to be her sister?
No.
No, not at all. Okay.
All right.
Well, thank you, Mama.
You're welcome.
Y'all have a good one.
I mean, I'm sure they still...
Aren't they taking pig parts now, too?
What?
What?
I don't know, man.
Last week, didn't we talk about a pig that gave a heart or something?
Yeah, but I don't know if the pig was... don't think the pig heart stayed in the human that long though
did it i think he's still in the human i don't know man all right 805-85-1051
her name is colleen on tiktok and she said she donated a kidney to her ex-boyfriend and she
claims he cheated and dumped her just 10 months later and accused her of going ahead with the
transplant just to look good.
I don't believe this story, by the way.
All right.
800-585-1051.
What would you do with the Breakfast Club?
Good morning.
I know it now.
I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
That kudos.
You with that?
Call me.
Add your opinions to the Breakfast Club top.
Come on.
800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about Donkey today.
Charlamagne gave to this young lady.
She allegedly gave.
She's 30 years old.
Name's Colleen Lee.
Gave her kidney to her boyfriend because he needed it, of course.
And then her boyfriend dumped her. Cheated on her, dumped her, and now he laid up with Lee. Gave her kidney to her boyfriend because he needed it, of course, and then her boyfriend dumped her.
Cheated on her, dumped her, and now he laid up with the next chick with her kidney.
That's right, having kids.
You know, I don't know if he having kids yet.
It's his kidney now.
It's my kidney now.
But she got to look at the bright side.
You know what I'm saying?
You gave this man the strength, you know, to be with other women,
and, you know, he'll probably find the real love of his life,
and they'll have kids and grow up to be a productive family,
and those kids will be productive citizens in this world,
and it's all thanks to you, Colleen.
Nope.
Mm-hmm.
He'll be back if he needs another organ.
You stupid.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Meecy from Norway.
Hey, what's up?
What would you do, Meecy?
Well, I think she should find solace in knowing that she did the right thing.
I mean, she was a vessel in having someone here on Earth for another day.
She should also remember that
you reap what you sow. So if he did
anything with malice or bad intentions,
he gonna get it right back. Well,
it depends, right? Because what were her intentions
with giving that kidney? If she was
really doing it out the goodness of her heart, she'll reap what
she sow. But if she was doing it because, you know,
she wanted to hold it over his head, I don't know.
That's true. That's true, Charlamagne.
That's true, too. But the
more out of survey you reap, the more you sell here.
That's true. Thank you, Mama. Any doctors on the line?
I need to know about this kidney gender transplant.
We ain't got no doctors on the line? I don't see none. Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Keisha from Virginia.
Hey, Keisha from Virginia. What would you do,
Keisha? So, I'm actually
in a very similar situation. My husband
is waiting for a kidney and it is a
very challenging thing to see whether or not you're going to be a donor for it took me a minute
before i actually applied because it's a life-changing event now the things you were
saying about the men to women that is an accurate it's about the blood type that makes that the importance
my husband has happened to have a whole positive which he can really accept any type of a donor
unfortunately i wind up having diabetes so that i'm not eligible at this time to be his donor
but what i think is really important is you when you accept my kidney and when you give them your
kidney you can't do that with a reservation of anything.
That's right.
They don't even owe it to a relationship.
Because imagine you giving them your kidney and the only reason y'all are staying together is because of that kidney.
Whose blood is that really benefiting?
So I think that when you give somebody something such as that, you've got to give it to them for the person.
I mean, you love that person.
So you've got to love them enough to want them to live a happy life,
even if it doesn't include you.
That's real.
There's a childish part of me that has had that thought,
well, hold on a minute, I might have to go get my kidney back.
But then to really think about it and say, you know,
I want a man as a man to know that I want him to have a good life so i don't think that when
somebody gives that to you you even owe them to stay in a relationship if that's what you want
but i do think you owe them the honesty that if you're not there to stay in a relationship
let them know before they give you that kid i agree thank you very very sensible statement
absolutely good luck to your husband. Thank you, queen.
Thank you.
Have a good one.
Now, what if you're a girl, right?
A woman.
Uh-huh.
And your boyfriend needs a kidney.
Uh-huh.
And your blood don't match.
Uh-huh.
But you find out he... Well, you knew he was cheating on you, right?
So, but he stopped messing with the side chick.
But the side chick steps up and says, I would like to see.
And finds out the side chick blood matches.
And the side chick wants to donate her kidney. Do you let your husband get that kidney from the side chick would you take that kidney
from the side chick that's not wasn't the question who side you on him listen okay i just asked the
question i'm gonna die well i just want to know what would a woman what would you what would they
do yeah i would tell him get it but we wouldn't be together anymore. Damn. They should be
alive.
Damn.
She volunteered.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
What if a donor
comes in?
Right.
It matches.
Matches.
They do the surgery
and it's successful
then you find out
after the fact
it was a girl
he used to mess with.
What do you do?
Do you want that
kidney back?
Do I want it back?
No.
We just won't be
together anymore.
Damn. Damn. He didn't know? He didn it back? No, we just won't be together anymore. Damn.
Damn.
He didn't know?
He didn't know?
Onward and upward.
She be on Twitter talking about, I'm keeping your man alive, bitch.
My goodness.
My goodness.
We got rumors all the way in.
Yes, let's talk about Ari Lennox.
She says she's not doing interviews anymore.
And, you know, she's not going to South Africa.
And she wants to be dropped from her label because she wants to be free.
And she did say social media is a traumatizing, unhealthy place.
We'll give you the background.
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. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. Well Ari Lennox has been in the news And that is all because of an interview that she did
She was talking to a podcaster named Mack G
And here's what happened on that interview
Oh my god to a podcaster named Mack G and here's what happened on that interview. And where we at right now?
Is someone married right now?
Oh my God! Whoa there.
Um,
I'm not happy. Whoa, that's a wild
question.
Why that way?
Why accent that way? Whoa.
Because that's what you say in the song.
You know what I mean? I love that part.
When did I say that? I said that in the song. You know what I mean? I love that part. When did I say that?
I said it in the song?
Yeah.
Don't you remember the song?
Oh, I guess I did say that.
I did say that.
Let me, okay, you caught me off guard there,
but I did say that, but no.
That's not actually what she said in the song.
What did she say in the song?
You listen to the song, Pop, she says,
if you really love me, I'll F you good.
She said, I'll F you good.
Not the guy will F her good.
Now, he's from South Africa.
He has a podcast and chill show.
Now, after that, there was a lot of people weighing in
on how uncomfortable she felt.
She posted, I'm just like, why was I alone on a call
full of people?
Why didn't anyone intervene?
And why wasn't parts of the interview destroyed like the team promised?
Why did it happen to begin with?
Just feel slow and ambushed and blindsided.
But F it.
I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me.
I'm tired of the narrative.
Exhausted.
I'm good.
I promise.
But as for interviews, I'm not doing them anymore.
There's enough lives and interviews out there already.
Now, this continued on over the weekend.
And then she said, South Africa,
y'all got it. Heard you loud and clear. This won't be a place I will ever visit. Really got
grown men justifying rape and predatory culture. Disgusting. And it just went on from there. But
she did say that social media is a traumatizing, unhealthy place. You are only accepted here if
you're perfect and seemingly happy at all times. When every single life knows that's not realistic.
People cry, people complain, people are mad in real life.
I just never cared to be a fake ass bitch.
You know, I love watching young media personalities attempt to figure it out.
You know, and one thing I won't do is judge Mac G because, you know, I at one point was a Mac G.
I was one of those young boys like that.
So I would rather counsel the man instead of
cancel him. And this is a teachable moment for young media
personalities. I didn't hear the whole context of the conversation.
I just heard that part. So I don't know
how they got to that question. But let me be the
first to tell you, it's not what you say,
but how you say it. And I feel like if it's based
off something an artist said in a song,
it's fair game, but the
delivery still has to be correct. And as a
43-year-old man, I would rather the woman in the room
ask a question like that, right?
Like, yeah, y'all have combos like that on lip service all the time, right?
Well, and people did bring up the Ari Lennox lip service interview,
but I will say before people come on that show,
we also let them know, you know, we're talking about sex and relationships.
We're having a good time.
We try not to ask anything that's going to make anyone uncomfortable.
I would have said, look, in your song, you song you said this so in real life is this what's
happening and so people know that's what that podcast is about they actually request to come
on there knowing that's what it's about we have joey badass on tomorrow he wanted to do an interview
about sex and relationships so they know what they're walking into but if it's somebody you
don't know who you're not comfortable with and it comes out of left field that can feel but also yeah the first thing the first thing he should have did is is he
should have asked her about the actual record that he was about to reference ask her about
the pop record then after discussing the record you know you might can get into you know some
lyrics but i still feel like he got the lyric wrong but not only that if it was asked to be
removed and they said that they would remove it and didn't remove it, that's another problem.
Well, if they promised to remove it.
If they promised to remove it.
That's what she said in her tweet.
Yeah, so.
And then it's not easy when people are coming at you.
If she felt uncomfortable, she felt uncomfortable.
You can't be mad at her or tell her, well, you said this
or you did that.
If she was uncomfortable, it is.
Yeah, and you can't expect her to react that way that way in real time you know i mean people think about things later and
be like damn why you do me like that you know what i mean so you you know everybody reacts to
things differently but yeah i would just say you know it's not what you say it's how you say it
a lot of times all right now i think we know what we're talking about right we've been around the
block you know we've asked a couple a couple of questions or two in interviews right yeah I think we know what we're talking about, right? We've been around the block. Yeah. You know?
We've asked a couple of questions or two in interviews, right?
Yeah.
All right.
Now, Julia Fox has addressed people saying that she's dating Kanye West for, quote, clout. You know, she has her own podcast called Forbidden Fruits.
And here's what she had to say about that.
When I was younger, I was such an attention seeker.
Had to be, like, make everything about me,
every situation about me. And as I like got older and like did work on myself, like now, like,
I really like don't need it or care for it. People are like, oh, you're only in it for the fame.
You're in it for the clout. You're in it for the money. And it's like, honey, like I dated
billionaires my entire adult life. OK, let's keep it real.
And secondly, no, I really don't.
I just care about like making my art like watch my movie.
I don't know what she just said.
She said watch a movie.
That's what I got from it.
She said she dated billionaires her entire adult life and she's not dating Kanye for clout.
She could care less.
You were the wrong person.
Just watch her movies and her art.
And she also addressed a video that circulated
where she's with, yay, Madonna, Antonio Brown,
Floyd Mayweather, Jason Lee, they're partying.
She said she was supposed to be at dinner for just Madonna,
just the two of them.
She said all these other celebs crashed the party.
Okay.
All right.
And by the way, that Kanye Genius Netflix documentary
has, it has premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, the Sundance Studio.
So people got a chance to see that. I saw they were saying Kanye wants final edit and approval.
But Kuti and Chike, who actually directed it, did an interview where they discussed basically, you know, documentaries aren't supposed to be to make you just look like you're in a good light. It is
supposed to be a documentary.
So they did say that they worked
really hard on this and they
worked with Kanye on this
and while he's had a chance to see it, he's not
getting the final, final cut.
So
that's Ye's journey through their vision.
And that is
your rumor report.
You can see that, by the way,
and you can see that, by the way,
on Netflix starting February 16th.
It's a Kanye trilogy.
It is real good.
I hope R.A. Lennox doesn't stop going to South Africa
just because of, you know, one bad conversation.
Like, South Africa is beautiful.
Like, don't deny yourself, you know,
those trips to South Africa
just because of one conversation.
I'm mad. I can't go there. Yeah, and I you know, those trips to South Africa just because of one conversation. I'm mad.
I can't go there.
Yeah, and I saw a lot of people from South Africa showing her support and saying they would love for her to come there.
All right.
And Salute Mac G, too.
And, you know, the podcast and chill podcast.
Like, I'm always here for counsel.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
Let's get to the mix.
The People's Choice Mix.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests in the building.
Yes, indeed.
Havoc and Styles P.
Introduce them by their name, man.
The group name.
What up?
Wreckage Manor.
Wreckage Manor.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That feels good.
Let's start from the beginning.
How did you guys get together and say,
you know what, this is what we're going to do.
We're going to create this group.
Oh, you know what?
One day I just woke up.
I wanted to do a project with one of my favorite artists.
Styles P was at the top of that list.
He was with it.
Hell yeah.
Sent him some music.
And we just did the thing.
What does Wreckage Manor mean?
Wreckage, synonym for Havoc, man,
and synonym for Styles. And synonym for styles and we felt
you know yeah we we was bringing what we was bringing but we was bringing it in a different
way and um respect to um our respective groups locks in in mob deep he's a member of mob i'm a
member of locks we're gonna give you that but it was in a in a manner we was gonna do it. And we felt like it was just gonna be real accurate hip hop
that gives you a wreckage feeling, but with Gracia's style.
When you look at some of your first videos
and footage from performances,
how many people are still with you from back then?
Oh, man.
They used to run a hundred deep.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
How many people?
A hundred deep.
We see five out there now.
Man, I would say like 1% of all those people that was on stage.
You know, because we was kids back then.
You know, people change.
And, you know, when you come in the game,
you bring like 1,000 people with you just for that support.
But then they mess everything up for you.
Because they don't mean to.
You know what I mean?
But in a business sense, it's not good for business.
You know what I mean? But your people's mean well. You know what I mean? But in a business sense, it's not good for business, you know what I mean?
But your people's mean well, you know what I mean?
Because they just there to hold you down, but everybody rough around the edges.
So what advice would you give to artists now who are just coming out,
they got all their peoples around, and even for the people that are around
and are trying to be an asset to an artist, what kind of advice would you give?
You just gave it. Be an asset.
I would tell an artist to tell an entourage,
make sure you're an asset, not a liability.
And leave the criminals
for criminal activity. I think
a large part of, a lot of
artists really want to be gangsters
and it's cool if you really
was a gangster and you're making it and you're making a way
out, but I think there's a big misconception that
gangsters still want to be gangsters.
This morning that was the stuff. What was it? The Wolves line?
Wolves don't make good house pets.
Yeah, I was talking about people who like to play
the street. I was actually
talking about Ye right now.
That's a good point, because they don't.
I mean, and a lot of people don't know,
sometimes you're a sheep standing right next to a wolf
and you have no idea. And a lot of people,
you know, they get in this thing and you might just be at the club.
You might just be talking crap, but you might be talking crap to the wrong.
Absolutely.
You might be just talking crap to the wrong dudes.
There's a lot of dudes willing to throw it away.
And I think a lot of people in the industry don't realize that.
Because even now, like when the time we came on, too, you couldn't walk around with half a million on
if your reputation didn't solidify
that you could walk around with a half a million on.
And now it's like, I'm doing this,
I'm lollygagging in the city,
and I'm talking crazy, and I'm not built like that.
Yeah, I was talking about the Kanye situation,
because it's like, you see him with the J Princes
and the Game and Beanie Segal now,
and then he's rapping about beating you know, beating people up.
And then I was thinking about what he said on Drink Champs about how he just used the backpackers.
He ain't really rocking them.
And I'm like, yo, if you're doing that with them street dudes, wolves don't make good house pets.
You're going to learn that.
But there's one thing, too.
You got to understand all across the board, no matter what, whether it's gangsters or not, even just corporate wolves.
Wolves are wolves.
You can't take advantage of certain people
because they're going to want to take advantage back of you.
And then some people are letting you be there because they
plan on taking advantage of you, whatever
circle you're in. You got to know if you're the
sheep or the wolf. Now, you mentioned something for both
of y'all. You talk about these young artists.
They're quick to throw it away for a lot of them.
But both of y'all at one time
was quick to throw it away. I was the master
of quick to throw it away. I was the pitcher of quick to throw it away. I was the pitcher.
I was the lead pitcher.
Even on this, you say if you don't got a gun,
I might be quoting the line wrong.
You said even if you don't got a gun,
you got two blades on you.
Yeah.
Protection.
Protection.
See, I'm a peaceful person.
I strive for peace, but I'm a realistic person.
I don't sit here. Old styles a realistic person. I'm not going to sit here.
Old styles is right there.
Any given moment, anything happen, I'm not going to just,
I'm not a turn-the-cheek kind of dude.
I'm not afraid to say, yo, I don't want this problem.
Right.
I will also tell you, do not confuse me saying I don't want the problem
with I won't handle the problem.
Like, that's a big difference, I think.
But men should be men enough to be like,
I'm 47.
I ain't trying to ache tomorrow.
I ain't trying to look for you.
I ain't trying to ask your little homies where you at.
I ain't trying to.
I've definitely had styles have to step to somebody
from me before in the juice bar.
Yeah, but just quietly.
Yeah, but it was nice.
It was respectful.
I do it.
I'm not on no, yo.
I'm like, you know, before it was more like,
you know, now I'll approach you respectfully. How did y'all both get to that?
To that point where it's like, you know what?
I'm not doing this no more.
Like, when was that?
Because you've done it a zillion and one times.
You've done it a zillion and one times.
When did it get to that point where it's like, you know what?
I got to stop.
Today is the day.
Getting locked up for something.
You know what I mean?
Low key.
And just seeing some of my peoples getting locked up. You know what I mean? And just thinking how easily I could just throw it away. You know what I mean low-key and just seeing some of my people's getting locked up you know
what I mean and just thinking how easily I could just throw it away you know I mean just knowing
that it's not worth it. Mine was a quest for inner peace really like like you say it was a time as a
rapper I never not had two guns on me I was like I can't just live like this every day and it's not
cool and just you want to go somewhere and just be in peace.
I have to apologize for all the stuff that you've done because y'all both done.
Why are you making it seem like they're such criminals, man?
Damn.
I mean, if I said it on you,
you had it coming most likely.
That's one thing I say.
I've always been a gentleman.
I've never been no just knucklehead
and did anything for a reputation.
I probably went too far when something happened, but I've never been like a random troublemaker.
That ain't never been alongside with my name.
You never see me not coming in.
What's it ever here?
Not be professional.
Like if I get in the studio with anybody from back then, I come to do my job.
I'm professional.
I'm not talking crap to the engineers, the other artists, none of that.
I come to do my job.
I come to leave.
Now, if I step outside and something goes wrong
and you're kind of a cause of it,
that's part of the jungle, and that's part of...
Your past makes you who you are today.
If I have offended someone and I was wrong
and it was on me,
while I'm on here, I humbly apologize.
My fault is on me.
I mean, you know, I had to apologize a bunch of times.
You know what I mean?
Even today, sometimes, you know, I gotta...
You still apologize. You know, Javi, you're a very
underrated producer, man. Like, you helped to craft a
whole sound of a city.
New York, you know what I mean? Thank you.
In the 90s, but why you think you don't get mentioned
with, like, the premieres and the
reses? You know, I
really don't have no idea. Maybe because
I'm low-key as a person. You humble.
Yeah, I'm very humble as a person. So, you know, I don't go out there and toot my own horn, because sometimes if you don't have no idea. Maybe because I'm low-key as a person. Yeah, I'm very humble as a person.
So, you know, I don't go out there and toot my own horn.
Because sometimes if you don't toot your own horn, ain't nobody going to toot it for you.
You know what I mean?
But that's just me, you know what I'm saying, by default.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm just one of those laid-back low-key.
He definitely needs more credit as a producer, but also as a rapping producer doing a golden era.
It takes a lot of talent to do that.
And he did it at a time
where a lot of people
weren't doing it.
And those who were
weren't able to do it
at a high level
on both sides.
Like, this is half a mob deep.
He rapped and produced
the joint.
So I think he doesn't get
enough credit for that either.
Like, he's the birth
of, like, Kanye
and J. Cole
and, you know, part of it.
All right, we got more
with Havoc and Styles P.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Havoc from Mobb Deep
and Styles P from The Lox, of course.
Charlamagne?
I can only imagine how I felt to lose Prodigy
on a personal level.
But on a professional level,
did you feel like you lost a
muse? Um, definitely. Absolutely. You know what I mean? Um, Prodigy was one of the greats, you know
what I mean? I, you know, every time he would come around, I just would smile. You know what I mean?
Just, just him being in my presence. I just, I couldn't help it. You know, I couldn't stay mad
at him too long. You know, um um i definitely lost the muse it there'll
never be nobody like him that i'll ever meet in my lifetime that will be like him so that was a a big
big loss i miss my deep on the verses man i would love to see mob deep doing verses that would have
been versatile yeah that's that's one of those that would have been crazy you know what i mean
that's one of the things that like when you think
about prodigy not being here you know for me sometimes i'm like damn he never gonna be on
stage with me again you know i mean like that's monumental for me it's like i can't fathom it
did it take away your love for music for a moment um it it didn't take away my love for music but
it definitely humbled me to the fact where I had to sit back and really
reflect on like how I'm gonna move forward. You know, that's why it kind of took me a while to
even do anything as far as projects is concerned since Prodigy passed. What do you think caused
New York to get away from that style? It's a combination of things, money, internet, and lack of leadership.
I mean, you got to think about it. Us in the nineties, we weren't financially taught how to
even be stable with the money we were getting. Like even now to the day, not even being funny,
if you think about it as a people, I hate to say it, but we still not thinking right as artists.
Nobody's really putting their money together and doing things together and not to preach because
I'm way more ghetto and harder than all of them. i'm just being real but what are y'all doing
for the people like i think people just forget about what we're really doing like i said when
i went to your show like you see i was really on all like that's what it's about this is black
you know what i'm saying it was like here at home like yeah like we on tv now this is black this is
black woman in power this is is me. We doing it.
We like, if you ain't thinking about who's coming behind you,
what are you thinking about?
And that's the, that's the, that's the, we don't,
we don't G check each other on that.
I think he was talking about musically as far as New York,
like where did New York money?
Cause money makes you not really worry about what you holding on to.
What's sacred to you.
You start getting money and you start expanding.
You start using South people sounds. you start trying to sound like them walk
like them and then the internet made everyone's hood accessible to everyone
so we came up we all sounded alike but not alike Queensbridge ain't gonna sound
like Yonkers they ain't gonna sound like Brooklyn ain't gonna sound like the
Bronx now kids are going on the internet and you know ASAP and them they had the
drill I mean the screwed sound which was dope to do but it was like why we tampering with
this and with that because they had the internet to find out about it and tamper
with it you think because they shut New York down I feel like there was a time
where like when I go to these other cities this I see people hanging out
they're having a good time but New York we didn't have that after a while like
there was the grand stormurm, 125th Street.
You go to Jamaica Avenue.
We had that.
But then it seemed like all that got shut down and pushed away.
The tunnel.
Yeah, the tunnel.
There were so many different places where we could go out.
But now it's like nowhere.
So it's like you had to go out of town.
You went to Atlanta.
You went to Philly.
You went to Cali.
You went to Miami.
I think because we, I mean, you're right exactly what you're saying.
But New York is the Mecca, so we started all of that.
So everybody got to see what was happening and get to capitalize off of it, which was the hip hop great thing to do.
But at the same time, you got to think the powers that be who didn't want to see hip hop keep growing like that, where you're going to shut down first, the home of it.
How many times have you been harassed by hip-hop cops back then?
Come on now.
So much to the point where I have a good relationship with most of them now.
I see them, they be like, what's up?
How's everything going?
We love Juicy for life.
You know what I mean?
It's like I walk in places now with the old people,
they be like, let him right in.
Havoc, you had some memorable tunnel nights.
Crazy.
Too many memorable nights.
But I used to love to go
to the tunnel man
you know
sometimes I used to
just go there by myself
like and just you know
hang out and chill
and just get that vibe
so I could just go back home
and just make some crazy beats
you have to go there
at 7pm
yep
you have to wait
on line down the block
7pm to get there
and that's what the mob
you asked what the mob
mean to us
like in our crew
and y'all
because it was a thing too
before anybody got on.
You know, we hustling, we working, we doing, everybody's doing everything.
But you got to get your fit right for Sunday to go to the tunnel.
That's right.
And you're telling your man, the line was, I hit my man on the phone, tunnel banging, come get me.
That was it.
That's why everybody knew we out.
And my people done that.
And my people done that.
Records has so much presence in the tunnel.
And also, Chris Lighty was like, you know what I mean?
Him and Jessica was at the door.
So, you know, we was getting in like nothing.
God bless Chris Lighty.
They wasn't making you go through the metal detector?
None of that.
It was horrible.
It was bad.
Something could have really, really bad.
Did you ever have any incidents in there?
Personally?
No, I never had no.
Luckily, you know what I'm saying?
I always, you know, by the time I left, you know, the next morning, like, yo, you didn't hear what happened?
Like, four people got shot.
I'm like, what?
We used to stay until they started playing house music at the end.
That's how it was good.
Get out of here.
That's how long I used to be in that town.
They had the first Koei bathroom.
Yeah, the first Koei bathroom.
They had a champagne bar in the bathroom.
Me capping on
Cypher Sounds
to DJ the bathroom.
That sounds so crazy.
I DJ in the bathroom.
I know they had
DJs in the bathroom.
That DJ was like
the baby.
It was like a lounge
in there.
And I remember
the security used to
have sex with people
in the bathroom.
It was a real wild place.
It was a wild age, man.
There's nothing like it.
No, nothing.
I don't think they will ever be able to emulate that. There's nothing like it. No, nothing. I don't think
they will ever
be able to emulate
that.
Never.
That's good,
though, right?
Yeah.
To a certain
extent.
I mean,
sometimes things
have to be bad
for things to be
good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Do you all wish
y'all would have
done things like
this sooner in
your career?
And if so,
like, what
prevented that?
Like, this
coming together? Collabs. Collabs what prevented that? Like this coming together.
Collabs.
Collabs.
Yeah, I always thought of that.
I was like,
damn, why we never did this before?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like me do an album with Neff
or Ray Kwan or,
you know, things of that nature.
That's what the new generation does a lot.
They do collaborations.
That's so dope.
That's dope to me too.
I mean,
it's one of the starters of that.
You are.
Like, let's,
I mean, you know, I don't like to throw my, I don't of the starters of that. You are. I mean, you know,
I don't like to throw my
stuff. I don't get a lot of credit for a lot.
I told Kiss the other day, I think
I bought design and fashion in
hip-hop and never got the credit.
What'd you do that? The Burberry Bucket. Nobody even
knew about Burberry or Exotic Clothes.
It was the Knock Yourself Out video
or one of them. I had a Burberry Bucket.
I don't want to know styles for fashion
No, I'm just saying you do a lot of things that you get the credit for I think about a record like last day and
I'm like, hey, what if no big and a lot to the demo records with a he was supposed to do the Commission
What you mean the Commission would have been big us whole and Charlie Baltimore, right?
Yeah, the Commission would have been lit
Wow
And that
Like you know what I mean
I never did one record
