Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. We got our guest co hosts Ashley with us.
Speaker 2: Ashley with to ease, and let's get into Front Page News.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Teslan, Good.
Speaker 4: Morning, dj Avy, Good morning Ashley, Good morning, Charlemagne, the
Speaker 4: God Family.
Speaker 2: All right, well let's jump right into it. Let's talk
Speaker 2: about that Montgomery brawl. So there's some arrest warrant issue.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Another update on this story, folks that obviously
Speaker 4: have been following this everywhere, but Montgomery Police Chief Darryl
Speaker 4: Albert had a press conference yesterday to provide further details
Speaker 4: on the Riverfront fight that has been wildly shared on
Speaker 4: social media the past few days. Let's take a listen
Speaker 4: and we'll talk about it on the other side.
Speaker 5: The suspects thus far have been identified as Richard Roberts
Speaker 5: white Mail, forty eight years old with two outstanding warrants
Speaker 5: for assault third degree. Alan Todd White mail, twenty three
Speaker 5: years old, one warrant for assault third degree, and Zachary Shipman,
Speaker 5: white male, twenty five years old, one warrant for assault
Speaker 5: third degree. We have instructed those individuals to turn themselves
Speaker 5: into law enforcement and as at this time, one is
Speaker 5: secured and in custody. The other two are set to
Speaker 5: turn themselves in within the next hour. We're also asking
Speaker 5: for mister Regie Gree, the black mail forty two years old,
Speaker 5: who was seen wielding that folding chair, to contact the
Speaker 5: Montgomery Police Department for further interviews and as part of disinvestigation.
Speaker 1: I am a dying life. I'm not coming back to
Speaker 1: have a conversation. You got no choice. They know your name.
Speaker 1: You gotta come up and I'll pull up with the
Speaker 1: voting chair. He didn't say it was a wrest war.
Speaker 1: They said they'll have a concept pull up with the
Speaker 1: folding chair, and that's what I would sit in when
Speaker 1: we have in an interview, I would say, my attorney
Speaker 1: unless there's a rest war and I'm not talking already spoke.
Speaker 1: All you got to do, regick in deplete temporary and
Speaker 1: sanity man he was or.
Speaker 4: Guess what he completed. He could just say, hey, I
Speaker 4: fear for my life. He can do the police officers do,
Speaker 4: and we'll see if that. We'll see if that works.
Speaker 1: Maybe he could try it hitting the white woman. That
Speaker 1: ain't gonna work if you hit that white woman randomly.
Speaker 4: But yeah, but unfortunately when they when they killed Pam Turner,
Speaker 4: when they killed Brionna Taylor, they were able to say fearful.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm being facetious. We know it won't work,
Speaker 1: but I did want to point out.
Speaker 4: That they're always able, you know, police officers able to
Speaker 4: shoot us down, you know, and say hey, I fear
Speaker 4: for my life when they murdered Pam Turner. So I
Speaker 4: doubt it would work with him, but I'm being facetious.
Speaker 4: Obviously it won't work.
Speaker 2: But why wouldn't the white women have warrants healed for
Speaker 2: their rest because they were swinging on their brother too.
Speaker 1: No, that's a great question. That's a great question.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe we should put that out there and ask,
Speaker 4: and again we'll see, we'll follow this. Asking to come
Speaker 4: in for an interview doesn't necessarily mean you know that
Speaker 4: he would be charged, but we know how America works,
Speaker 4: you know, could the possibility is certainly there. I continue
Speaker 4: to keep following the story, but it's just really interesting, guys.
Speaker 4: What do you think about how this conversation has just really,
Speaker 4: you know, become a staple in our community. I saw
Speaker 4: yesterday somebody got a tattoo of the chair on their arm,
Speaker 4: So I remember, you think that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, I mean, because the reality is what I
Speaker 1: like about this whole situation is just and I think
Speaker 1: we all like it's just the unity, the solidarity and
Speaker 1: the group operation, people having each other's backs. That's it.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: That's what I would like for people to take away
Speaker 1: from this situation, not tattoos of chairs, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. That's what I want people to carry with
Speaker 1: them from now on. You know, if you see, you
Speaker 1: see your fellow brother, your fellow sister in need of assistance,
Speaker 1: help them stop pulling out you. They don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of people pulling out their damned
Speaker 1: we needed all those angles. But a lot of times
Speaker 1: that's all we see people pulling out their phones and
Speaker 1: recording as far as instead of people you know, taking action.
Speaker 1: So that's what I take from the situation.
Speaker 6: Mm hmmm, Well.
Speaker 4: They call Fred Hampton the chairman. You remember he was
Speaker 4: the chairman as well, so I guess now the chairman
Speaker 4: is a new level to what the chairman means.
Speaker 2: So all right, well that is your front page news.
Speaker 2: Now get it off your chest. Eight hundred five five
Speaker 2: five one. If you need to vent, phone lines to
Speaker 2: wide open again eight hundred five eight five one one,

Speaker 8: Hi?
Speaker 17: Yes, So I'd like to talk about that Tory Lane
Speaker 17: and Megan the Stallion situation, and I'd like to say
Speaker 17: I do not agree with Tory Lane dancing years. I
Speaker 17: don't follow the masses everybody a brand and talking crazy
Speaker 17: about this man. I'm pretty sure there's something deeper than that.
Speaker 11: But I know I would have respected.
Speaker 17: Meghan some times more if you really would have been
Speaker 17: to tie your time.
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, you know what I keep
Speaker 1: wondering about this situation. I don't think any of y'all
Speaker 1: read the case because the reality of this situation is,
Speaker 1: if you actually read the case and you read all
Speaker 1: the evidence against Tory LANEZ, including the phone call that
Speaker 1: he made from the jail, you knew that he was
Speaker 1: gonna get found guilty and not to mention, you know,
Speaker 1: he did stand up yesterday in court and take responsibility
Speaker 1: for his actions and say that he wished he could
Speaker 1: change the events of that night. You do realize that, right, Listen.
Speaker 11: I didn't say he's not guilty exsive.
Speaker 1: I think that came off good. For shooting at somebody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just someone that at close range. What do
Speaker 3: you think is not accessive? What do you think is appropriate?
Speaker 3: That's a question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ten years for shooting at somebody, especially a woman
Speaker 1: as a man, I think he came off kind of good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's only got to do eighty five percent. I say
Speaker 1: eighty five. That's not a lot, but you gotta do
Speaker 1: eighty five percent. That's what eight and a half years.
Speaker 1: Eighty got, ten months served, Well, you probably do like
Speaker 1: seven years.
Speaker 2: Get it off your chest, eight hundred and five A
Speaker 2: five one oh five one. If you need to vit,
Speaker 2: you could always call us up.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 2: I'm sure we're gonna be talking about this in detail
Speaker 2: when we come back, Ashley.
Speaker 3: Yes, we definitely are gonna be talking about Tory Lanez
Speaker 3: and the sentencing, as well as like a crazy fan
Speaker 3: who showed up to the to the courthouse blaming Megan
Speaker 3: because she had a miswork to be there.
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, Well we'll get into all that when
Speaker 2: we come back, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Morning.
Speaker 2: Everybody's dj n V charlamagnea god. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: We got our guest co hosts Ashley with to ease
Speaker 2: with us.
Speaker 3: What's happening.
Speaker 2: Of course she reps h Town ninety three seven to
Speaker 2: be shout to my he Town family out there. Let's
Speaker 2: get right into the rumors.
Speaker 1: I don't know what house, Ashley to. You already know
Speaker 1: this circle moment from me on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Let me pop it off.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So obviously the biggest topic this morning is Tory Lanez
Speaker 3: being sentenced to ten years in prison. So yesterday Judge
Speaker 3: David Hereford sent his Tory Lanes to ten years for
Speaker 3: shooting Megan Thee Stallion. He is convicted in December of
Speaker 3: three felonies assault with a semi automatic firearm, having a
Speaker 3: loaded and registered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a
Speaker 3: firearm with gross negligence.
Speaker 18: Here's a statement, Raperatory Lanes gets ten years in prison
Speaker 18: for shooting and injuring Megan thee Stallion. Lanes was convicted
Speaker 18: of three felonies in the case back in December. The
Speaker 18: judge said it was quote difficult to reconcile the kind
Speaker 18: person and good father. Many described Lanes as being with
Speaker 18: the man who fired the gun at Megan. Megan testified
Speaker 18: that Lanes fired the gun at her feet and shouted
Speaker 18: for her to dance as she walked away from an suv.
Speaker 18: This was back in July of twenty twenty. DA George
Speaker 18: Gascoon and read a statement from Megan thee stallion.
Speaker 9: Fortunately, the District Attorney's office fall for me. I'm incredibly
Speaker 9: grateful to them and the jury for the attention to
Speaker 9: the evidence inciting with the truth. But it can happen
Speaker 9: if it can happen to me, imagining those who lack
Speaker 9: the resources and support systems to help him.
Speaker 3: So I remember it's been three years since this shooting happened.
Speaker 3: I've been twenty twenty, and prior to sentencing, Tory was
Speaker 3: seeking probation or minimal prison sentence, while prosecutors were asking
Speaker 3: for thirteen years. I think the maximum was like twenty two.
Speaker 3: So he got ten. And inside the courtroom, Tory said,
Speaker 3: if I could turn back the series of events that
Speaker 3: night and change them, I would. The victim was my
Speaker 3: friend speaking about Megan. The victim is someone I still
Speaker 3: care for to this day, and everything I did wrong
Speaker 3: that night I take full responsibility for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's only interesting for everybody who keeps
Speaker 1: saying they don't believe Tori did this, like as you
Speaker 1: just read Ashley. According to NBC News, he said and caught. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: he apologized for his actions and said he took full
Speaker 1: responsibility for the shooting.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of his exact quotes was, if I could change it,
Speaker 1: like you just said the change it, I would, but
Speaker 1: I can't. Everything I did that night I take full responsibility.
Speaker 1: I'm just truly trying to be a better person, which
Speaker 1: I don't understand, because why would you wait until the
Speaker 1: day you are sentenced to come clean? Like everything his
Speaker 1: lawyers was trying to do, like saying that he had
Speaker 1: childhood trauma and an alcohol problem. That only works if
Speaker 1: you admit you did it. So if that was gonna
Speaker 1: be your defense, he should have came clean a whole
Speaker 1: lot earlier.
Speaker 3: You don't wait to the day it centicent like given
Speaker 3: yesterday they said, like, if I did do it, it's
Speaker 3: because I suffer from trauma and alcoholism. It's like he
Speaker 3: was trying to look for every plausible deniability loophole.
Speaker 1: There was, as I say, after the Internet. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, If you get your information from the Internet,
Speaker 1: from the narrative created online, then you're gonna be misinformed
Speaker 1: all the time, especially when it comes to legal cases.
Speaker 1: Because when I read the details of this case a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago to actual court documents, and I
Speaker 1: saw all the evidence that was against Tory, including the
Speaker 1: recorded phone call from jail with him apologizing while Megan
Speaker 1: was in the hospital, I knew he'd be found guilty.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't understand why Toy was doing what he
Speaker 1: was doing on social media. I didn't understand why he
Speaker 1: put put an album out talking about the incident, like
Speaker 1: there was absolutely zero reason for Tory Lanez to be
Speaker 1: trying this case in the court of public opinion where
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the problem. Most people don't don't read that,
Speaker 2: Like they're not gonna go through the AFIDEBT, but they're
Speaker 2: gonna see what the headlines are and go with the headlines.
Speaker 2: And even like yesterday, people were talking, they were comparing cases.
Speaker 2: They were comparing this to the Pop Smoke case with
Speaker 2: the guy who one of the dudes got four years
Speaker 2: and it was like, well, how does he get four
Speaker 2: years for murder? And this happened for this, So people
Speaker 2: just compare things for no reason. They're totally two different cases,
Speaker 2: but two different states. Two different Yeah, two different states,
Speaker 2: and so I guess it's both for California. Ye, it's
Speaker 2: both for California. So I guess he'll have to serve
Speaker 2: the ten years and then he'll get deported back to Canada.
Speaker 3: So here are served here and then get deported.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has to serve it head and then he
Speaker 2: gets deported.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, yes, but that sound like does that matter?
Speaker 3: Like good behavior? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I think it all is.
Speaker 2: It's always good behavior. You get eighty five percent of
Speaker 2: time of good behavior.
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, also in this case of Ella County DA
Speaker 3: George Gascone, he said that women, especially black women, are
Speaker 3: afraid to report crime like assault because they are too
Speaker 3: often not believed, and he commenced Megan the sallion for
Speaker 3: her incredible bravery and vulnerability as she underwent months of probing,
Speaker 3: investigation and court appearances where she had to relive her
Speaker 3: trauma and the public scrutiny that followed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I just would never understand why Tori was
Speaker 1: doing what he was doing on social media, Like I
Speaker 1: would never understand why he tried to try this case
Speaker 1: in the court of public opinion. None of that ever mattered.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what anybody online thinks about this situation. It's
Speaker 1: about what happens in that actual court room.
Speaker 3: Well, what was he doing when this happened? Quarantine radio,
Speaker 3: So that was his thing, was going to Instagram and like,
Speaker 3: m let me get these people to co sign me,
Speaker 3: let me get let me get some support.
Speaker 2: Maybe I can show like, but I think as a
Speaker 2: community we always have that problem. Like, if there's a situation,
Speaker 2: if anything is going on, the best thing to do
Speaker 2: is if you have a good attorney, is he'll tell
Speaker 2: you to shut the f up and handle it in court.
Speaker 2: And then when courts over, then you could run around
Speaker 2: and say what you want to say or whatever it
Speaker 2: may be, because whatever you say, as we've seen in
Speaker 2: this case, can be used against you in the court
Speaker 2: of law.
Speaker 1: So they said, they said he was antagonizing Megan online.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of the reason that he got this
Speaker 1: tiff sentence is because of the stuff.
Speaker 2: Yes, that he was doing online, correct, because he was
Speaker 2: one of them.
Speaker 3: I don't get it all y'all asked why I call
Speaker 3: myself Ashley was too easy because the Ashley with the
Speaker 3: wires a little crazy because there was an actually that
Speaker 3: showed up to the courtroom who was like a crazy
Speaker 3: super fan of Tory Lanez. That's what she's saying.
Speaker 1: I'm a woman and I DK same thing.
Speaker 19: Was sad.
Speaker 1: And Lane still about.
Speaker 2: Him a war for him period.
Speaker 1: When I see her a lot of with.
Speaker 10: Megan thee Stallion, that's like, yes, that win are being nice.
Speaker 10: Megan should thank me because if you haven't for me,
Speaker 10: Megan thee Stallions, y'all, he hasn't fout Oh anxiety, Oh,
Speaker 10: I really can't.
Speaker 12: For the salience.
Speaker 1: The way what type of music will really be coming out?
Speaker 1: Y'all that you don't got no anxiety? I won't bring anxiety.
Speaker 19: Who are?
Speaker 3: I just want to clarify that when the name was
Speaker 3: Ashley Ramirez with a why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can promise you none of that helped Tory
Speaker 1: in court. You know what I'm saying. If the person
Speaker 1: you are defending is on trial for something violent, you
Speaker 1: probably don't need to show support by acting violent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But then if you look at some of the
Speaker 3: viral tweets in support of Tory, some are saying Tory
Speaker 3: lanez didn't deserve ten years. That's insane. They'll crucify a
Speaker 3: black men any chance they get, so it said Tory
Speaker 3: lane is getting sentenced to ten years in prison for
Speaker 3: a shotty that was Torken shortly after the incident is
Speaker 3: disheartening to say the least. I don't know what to
Speaker 3: make of that. How someone gets shot and.
Speaker 2: Well, people have the right for their opinions. People people
Speaker 2: feel what they want to feel, and like Charlotage said earlier,
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't know what actually happened in
Speaker 2: the case, so they're just basing this off of Internet
Speaker 2: and not off of the facts, and sometimes the facts
Speaker 2: show a different light.
Speaker 1: One day we're gonna have to have a conversation about
Speaker 1: do people have to right to their opinion? I think
Speaker 1: people have the right twin informed opinion. Correct, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If your opinion is just based on
Speaker 1: you know, a false narrative of your opinion is based
Speaker 1: on lies, I don't think you have the right to that.
Speaker 1: I think you have the right to informed.
Speaker 2: Right and informed.
Speaker 1: I mean an opinion rooted in facts correct.
Speaker 3: I know you're not on Twitter no more, but like
Speaker 3: there's a little fact check box that shows up when
Speaker 3: you tweet. I feel yeah, I feel like everybody needs
Speaker 3: to like finish.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it'll like do you want to read the article
Speaker 3: for your tweet? It's like, nah, just tweeted.
Speaker 1: Also it'll fact check it and then give you the
Speaker 1: actual information.
Speaker 3: But someone has to go in and fact check it,
Speaker 3: like put something now at America Festival has been canceled.
Speaker 3: Yesterday was announced that the Philly festival that takes place
Speaker 3: every September has been canceled this year. Lizzo and says
Speaker 3: that we're set to headline the festival, and fans speculated
Speaker 3: that it was because of the heat that Lizzo is
Speaker 3: currently facing right now. Really official statement cites the cancelation
Speaker 3: being a result of production issues outside of the control,
Speaker 3: and it does say due to severe circumstances outside of
Speaker 3: production control, they can no longer have this festival. But
Speaker 3: I don't think even if it is little, they can
Speaker 3: easily replace.
Speaker 1: Isn't it? Two headliner is always Yeah, they had.
Speaker 3: They had a whole they had a lot of they
Speaker 3: had they had a whole bunch of like a team
Speaker 3: like Army.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it was low ticket sales, because a
Speaker 2: lot of these concents have had a lot of low
Speaker 2: ticket sales.
Speaker 3: You're trying to throw a festival the year Drake and
Speaker 3: Beyonce or touring, that's true, Like it ain't happen.
Speaker 1: They couldn't find a bigger artist in Little. There's got
Speaker 1: to be somebody bigger than Little that they could put.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, Beyonce is on tour, Drake's on tour.
Speaker 1: I didn't even need a double headline. It's probably little
Speaker 1: ticket stale. That's probably what it is.
Speaker 3: Probably ticket We also had Miguel TAM's Ice, Spice, Metro, Command, Coiler,
Speaker 3: Ray Lotto, Lola Brook, Coco Jones, Doci Oh, come on,
Speaker 3: and anymore.
Speaker 1: You gotta yeah, they would have been fine. It's little
Speaker 1: ticket seals.
Speaker 3: I mean again, this is a year that Beyonce, Drake, Taylor,
Speaker 3: Swifts all went out to three of the biggest artists. Right,
Speaker 3: people ain't got money for that?
Speaker 2: All right, well that is your rumor report. Now when
Speaker 2: we come back, we got front page news telling figure
Speaker 2: Oi be joining us and l L cool J and
Speaker 2: the Route will be joining us. So don't move it's
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club on b e T everybody. It's j
Speaker 2: ND Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We
Speaker 2: got our special guest, hosts Ashley with to ease a
Speaker 2: morning and let's get back in the front page news.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this.
Speaker 2: Court throws out conviction after the judge says black man
Speaker 2: looks like a criminal to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is crazy, and appeals Court thursday overturned the
Speaker 4: drug conviction of a black man, Leron Liggan, saying his
Speaker 4: rights were violated by a Detroit federal judge who was
Speaker 4: upset over delays in the clay the case and declared,
Speaker 4: this guy looks like a criminal to me.
Speaker 18: Now.
Speaker 4: The US district judge, Stephen Murphy, who was white, apologized
Speaker 4: nearly two years later, when the case against larn finally
Speaker 4: was ready for trial. He explained that at the time
Speaker 4: he was mad and he regrets it. The appeal court
Speaker 4: said that Murphy should have removed himself as the judge
Speaker 4: at the time, but he did not, So the court
Speaker 4: threw out the Dutch the drug distribution conviction and the
Speaker 4: ten yured prison sentence and ordered a new trial with
Speaker 4: a different judge. So let me ask you guys, should
Speaker 4: they should he get another trial? Should they just charge
Speaker 4: it to the game?
Speaker 1: But what does a criminal look like? That's what I
Speaker 1: would like to do. What did the judge criminal look like?
Speaker 1: What is the profile of this young man? And he
Speaker 1: thinks this man looks like a criminal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, so what happened was during the case, he
Speaker 4: I guess lost his composure. He got upset because the
Speaker 4: ligands actually exercised his rights. Uh, he switched between wanting
Speaker 4: a plea deal and choosing a trial. And so the
Speaker 4: judge didn't like that, and he said, you know, I'm
Speaker 4: tired of this case. I'm tired of this defendant. I'm
Speaker 4: tired of getting the run around. This guy looks like
Speaker 4: a criminal. To me, this is what criminals do. Innocent
Speaker 4: people don't do this if they want a faire trial.
Speaker 4: He's playing games with the court. And so because he
Speaker 4: made that statement in front of the jury, they're saying, hey,
Speaker 4: you basically influencing the jury.
Speaker 2: Right, and it wasn't right to do.
Speaker 5: So what was it?
Speaker 4: It was?
Speaker 1: What type of condictions?
Speaker 4: Drug?
Speaker 1: It was a drug case?
Speaker 2: Yeah, let him go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just charge it to the game.
Speaker 2: Charge it to the game.
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like it sounds like a mistral.
Speaker 1: Usually just put another judge on that case and retry it.
Speaker 4: They're putting another judge on the case, and that's what
Speaker 4: I'm answering. You should they put another judge on the
Speaker 4: case or just charge it to the game?
Speaker 1: Catch you next time? I mean, you gotta. I would
Speaker 1: I would want them to follow the letter of the loss.
Speaker 1: I would want them to put another judge on the
Speaker 1: kick and they just retry the situation. That's usually what
Speaker 1: happens in those situations. Just don't get this bitsed. I
Speaker 1: wish it was that easy, but it's not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but at this point, man, you got the man
Speaker 2: saying looks like a criminal means all over the news
Speaker 2: people see in this case, like you.
Speaker 1: Bring a new judge. You bringing a new judge with
Speaker 1: some new eyes. And maybe that person don't look like
Speaker 1: a criminal in that judge his eyes. Shoot, maybe that
Speaker 1: person is just listening to the actual evidence.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'll be nervous if I was saying, now,
Speaker 2: let's talk about these thousands of city workers that picket
Speaker 2: it yesterday in La. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Once again, like doctor West mentioned earlier this week on
Speaker 4: you know, all of these strikes happening everywhere, and once
Speaker 4: again yet another strike. Yesterday did a one day strike
Speaker 4: in La the Los Angeles City workers walked out. Now
Speaker 4: this marks the first strike action by the Los Angeles
Speaker 4: City workers in more than forty years. ABC seven has
Speaker 4: the report.
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
Speaker 20: A twenty four hour strike by eleven thousand Los Angeles
Speaker 20: City workers across multiple departments hasn't left the city crippled,
Speaker 20: but certainly sent a message to those who work at
Speaker 20: city Hall that they feel disrespected.
Speaker 1: We haven't guns put on when we're just trying to
Speaker 1: do our job. We ain't for our type of protection.
Speaker 7: We can't get that.
Speaker 1: Well, we complain to our manager and stuff. We weren't
Speaker 1: getting no.
Speaker 4: We don't get no l Everyone walked out yesterday. It
Speaker 4: was very interesting when I looked at the report. All
Speaker 4: of the sanitation workers you're gonna refuse to pick up trash.
Speaker 4: So you saw a huge, uh, you know, parking lot
Speaker 4: full of you know, sanitation workers. So I think people
Speaker 4: have a new expect for that when your garbage isn't
Speaker 4: picked up. And so they're allegedly, you know, supposed to
Speaker 4: be going back to work, but they said they still
Speaker 4: you know they want fair negotiations like everybody else. You know,
Speaker 4: they have repeated labor law violations, and so they're asking
Speaker 4: that the city negotiates in good faith.
Speaker 1: So why do we act like those sanitation workers aren't
Speaker 1: public servants that are necessary for all community. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We have no idea how you know,
Speaker 1: stretch free. They make our lives. Until you see all
Speaker 1: that trash piled up on the side of the road,
Speaker 1: and now you're like, damn, anybody gonna pick the traps up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the same people that you neglecting, the same people that
Speaker 1: you acting like, you know you shouldn't, you know, treat
Speaker 1: well right, Yeah, yeah, y'all respect the sanitation workers.
Speaker 21: Man.
Speaker 1: It's all of those people like that that make all
Speaker 1: world go around and that make all lives easier that
Speaker 1: we just for whatever reason, tend to neglect all the time.
Speaker 2: Well, they see even in New York, New Jersey, a
Speaker 2: lot of the sanitation workers in the winter do the
Speaker 2: snowplow as well. They get the snow out the way too. So, yes,
Speaker 2: they are definitely needed, and they definitely need to be respected.
Speaker 2: We need to make sure they act.
Speaker 1: Would your data sanitation worker.
Speaker 4: Test absolutely shout out to my uncle Daniel rest in peace.
Speaker 4: Was a sanitation worker for the great City of Houston, Texas,
Speaker 4: Ashley with TUIs for over thirty years. And not only
Speaker 4: was he did he retire as a sanitation work he
Speaker 4: had great healthcare insurance. And he also used to collect copper,
Speaker 4: you know, on a lot of his runs. And Uncle Dan,
Speaker 4: you will probably get about an extra thirty or fifty
Speaker 4: thousand a year just on copper. So absolutely I would
Speaker 4: because that means I would date somebody like my uncle.
Speaker 1: There you go see public servant thro all the sanitation
Speaker 1: workers out there.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, Well, that is front page news. And

Speaker 2: L COOLJ and the Roots women joining us, and we'll
Speaker 2: get to kick it with them when we come back.
Speaker 8: Don't move.
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club. Come morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody.
Speaker 2: It's DJ MV Charlamagne to God. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 14: Now.
Speaker 1: We got some special guests in the buildings. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 1: some legends, some icons. Of course. We got the Roots
Speaker 1: Black Thought and Quest Love Welcome. Everybody is black from
Speaker 1: the Roots. They've been up here before.
Speaker 2: And we got another icon that's never been up here before,
Speaker 2: the legendary icon L L.
Speaker 1: Cool J Welcome, Queen's Timer. It's first time LL stand
Speaker 1: for a living legend. At this point, I appreciate that
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 2: So let's first start with you know, why you guys
Speaker 2: are here together, because people are like, well, why is
Speaker 2: LL and the Roots together? So you guys are going
Speaker 2: on the road on the tour.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how did this saw it come about? Who's
Speaker 1: whose version? I mean really, who's insure?
Speaker 22: You know, the Planet Center stars sort of aligned themselves
Speaker 22: and and and you made it possible for us to
Speaker 22: work together on this huge segment that we did for
Speaker 22: the Grammys this year. And I think you know from
Speaker 22: that the idea of us always haven't wanted to, you know,
Speaker 22: work together in some way, just you know, it opened
Speaker 22: the collaborative path and it was like, Yo, why don't
Speaker 22: we try to.
Speaker 1: Take this show on the road. It was huge.
Speaker 22: What we did just in that one fifteen minute segment
Speaker 22: was so huge for the culture. And you know, this
Speaker 22: being hip hop's fiftieth anniversary and you know that that
Speaker 22: whole deal, it made sense to try and you know,
Speaker 22: do something celebratory in that way.
Speaker 1: You know, from region to region, Now.
Speaker 2: Ladies love Cool James what got you into hip hop
Speaker 2: and said, you know what I want to be MC?
Speaker 2: Where where did the love come from? As a kid
Speaker 2: from Queens and say this is what I want to do.
Speaker 19: You know, when those first wave of tapes came around,
Speaker 19: like you know Cole Crush Brothers and Fantastic, Romantic Five
Speaker 19: and Foursome Seeds and Treacherous Three, you know, Grand Master,
Speaker 19: Furious five and all of those groups, when they were
Speaker 19: just tapes run around, you know, hallm World tapes, and
Speaker 19: then the songs came. That was the first time that
Speaker 19: I heard young black kids sounding powered. It was the
Speaker 19: first time that I heard or could envision us doing
Speaker 19: something great because before that, all the images I had
Speaker 19: seen were us like handcuffed, you're putting a police car
Speaker 19: or some sort of charge or you know, so that
Speaker 19: empowering feeling, you know, the braggadocio thing that you know
Speaker 19: that we really focused on came not from a place
Speaker 19: of looking down on high on people, but more about
Speaker 19: I could be somebody. You know what I'm saying. The
Speaker 19: world looks at me and like I'm invisible. My friends
Speaker 19: up the block get killed and nobody says anything. So
Speaker 19: when I'm bragging and I'm boasting, what I'm really doing
Speaker 19: is saying, hey, look at me, I exist, you know
Speaker 19: what I'm saying. So for me, that was a real
Speaker 19: special thing and a spectacular thing. I mean, I'm eight,
Speaker 19: I'm nine years old. I'm ten years old, and I'm
Speaker 19: being introduced to this thing and I just completely fell
Speaker 19: in love with it. And then, you know, eight nine,
Speaker 19: I'm a fan of the Wrap. My grandfather broughts me
Speaker 19: some equipment. At eleven, I'm djaying, I'm messing around with that,
Speaker 19: but I'm still rhyming and I'm going back and forth.
Speaker 19: And then you know, eventually one thing led to another
Speaker 19: and here we are death Jam and the whole whole nine.
Speaker 1: Do you consider yourself a founding father of hip hop?
Speaker 1: You know, people always gonna say, you know, cool her,
Speaker 1: you know, Grandma after Flash, people like that.
Speaker 19: But as far as hip hop as we know now,
Speaker 19: I would say, you and Run DMC. Yeah, So so
Speaker 19: I'm you know, I'm definitely Generation one point five. You
Speaker 19: know what I'm saying. You got to give Flash and
Speaker 19: HERK and Force and all and grab what was the
Speaker 19: theodore they're do. The thing that myself from Run DMC did.
Speaker 19: What we did is we took it to the world.
Speaker 19: We took it global, you know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 19: took it from the city and took it around the world,
Speaker 19: you know what I'm saying. And that was the difference.
Speaker 19: So they they brought it, they took it from from
Speaker 19: the Bronx and Harlem out to the Five Boroughs and
Speaker 19: you know, around the world. Somewhat, they didn't penetrate the
Speaker 19: market quite as deeply. Then we took it and made
Speaker 19: it global.
Speaker 22: And it's I think I think from from a Philadelphia
Speaker 22: standpoint too, you know, just from the outside looking then
Speaker 22: with that that one point five generation with with you
Speaker 22: and all, just like Running d that was our first
Speaker 22: time sort of.
Speaker 1: Seeing our own reflection exactly.
Speaker 22: It was like, you know, I'm like again, I was
Speaker 22: a huge fan of all the other founding fathers, but
Speaker 22: they didn't look like people from around my way, you
Speaker 22: know what I'm saying. And when I saw a run
Speaker 22: jam Master Jay l they looked like the corner boys,
Speaker 22: Like that was outside and I saw myself in that.
Speaker 1: So you know, that's where a lot of the inspiration
Speaker 1: for me to do.
Speaker 2: What I do came from. Not to mention you know, ella.
Speaker 23: You know, l is very modest, but Lle literally invented
Speaker 23: what I call postmodern hip hop, like the three minute
Speaker 23: raps song sixteen bar like before LL even Run DMC's
Speaker 23: first album, Like it's like that's like eight minutes, like
Speaker 23: seven verses, you know what I mean. Like LL literally
Speaker 23: invented the sixteen you know, maybe the twenty fourth the course,
Speaker 23: you know what I mean, Like oh, the song that's
Speaker 23: courses on it. So I love rap, yeah, like literally
Speaker 23: emotions on rap. Like he's he's pioneered for like so
Speaker 23: many things that he never gets credit for. He was
Speaker 23: like the first teen idol, the first Like there's so
Speaker 23: many first with him that you just you take it
Speaker 23: for granted.
Speaker 2: So I was gonna ask when you you talked about
Speaker 2: deaf Jam. So let's talk about that. They when they
Speaker 2: came to you with a contract to sign. Do you
Speaker 2: remember what your first contract looked like and how much
Speaker 2: they gave you?
Speaker 19: Yeah, well, well, I mean talk about that for you know,
Speaker 19: you gotta remember that deaf Jam was a production company.
Speaker 1: There was no label.
Speaker 19: Okay, it's Yours by Tila Rock was on Party Time
Speaker 19: street Wise label. It was deaf Jam Productions, which was
Speaker 19: Rick was the producer along with Jazzy J. And it
Speaker 19: was more than a contract. They were actually forming a label.
Speaker 19: Rick was having a problem, you know him, and he
Speaker 19: was having problems getting his money from the other label
Speaker 19: he was dealing with, so they wanted to start this
Speaker 19: new thing. So you know that first contract, at the
Speaker 19: time we split the publishing, they gave me like fifty thousand.
Speaker 19: But before that, actually, my first single I ever made,
Speaker 19: I didn't have a contract. When I made I Need
Speaker 19: a Beat, which was the very first song I ever made,
Speaker 19: I had no contract. It was just like, yo, let's
Speaker 19: just get it and we'll figure it out. You know
Speaker 19: what I'm saying. Sometimes you gotta be willing to crawl
Speaker 19: over the barbed wire fence with no shirt on you
Speaker 19: know what I'm saying, to get what you want.
Speaker 1: With no shirt on. You know what I'm saying, By
Speaker 1: the end of the store, I might have one hundred.
Speaker 1: I'm on number six already. That was what it was.
Speaker 1: And you know how old were you at this point? Sixteen?
Speaker 1: I was sixteen when I mean yeah, when we started
Speaker 1: Death Jam, I was sixteen. Did you ever feel like
Speaker 1: you should have had like equity and depth Jam? You
Speaker 1: did have equity in Death Jam. I did have equity
Speaker 1: and Death Jam. I just sold it a little early,
Speaker 1: but I definitely had ownership in Death Jam, ownership in
Speaker 1: fool Boat. I have ownership in NCIS Los Angeles ownership
Speaker 1: and damn lip Sync Battle I have. You know, I
Speaker 1: own my catalog. So the things that I do, you know,
Speaker 1: I did well, But I didn't do it for the money.
Speaker 2: And where did you get the business mind from? Was
Speaker 2: was it your mom's? Was it you know uncle?
Speaker 13: Like?
Speaker 1: Where did you get that?
Speaker 2: Because I don't think a lot of people were thinking
Speaker 2: ownership back then. They were just thinking I need to
Speaker 2: blow up.
Speaker 1: You know what? You know what I've learned?
Speaker 17: Man?
Speaker 19: You know, like, and people may have heard me say
Speaker 19: this before, you know, if a homeless man tell you
Speaker 19: not to do push up some traffic. You should listen
Speaker 19: because you might get ran over. A lot of times
Speaker 19: people were like yo, another one yo. A lot of
Speaker 19: people were like, yo, you homeless?
Speaker 7: What do you know?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 19: Brown today in the news. So the business thing I
Speaker 19: learned from people before me and after me. Now what
Speaker 19: the Monica ladies love cool j Right? Did you always
Speaker 19: feel like these dudes gonna think I'm sweet? So I'm
Speaker 19: gonna I have to have these these rhyms in the
Speaker 19: corner just in case. The ladies love cool Jay thing
Speaker 19: was just wish for thinking. You know, I'm fifteen on
Speaker 19: one girls ladies love cool Jack right.
Speaker 1: It wasn't really not being true.
Speaker 19: It didn't have to be that like people took that
Speaker 19: a little. It just kind of worked out. It'll cool Jay.
Speaker 19: I hope you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But you never rebelled against the sex symbol image I
Speaker 1: saw like it. I mean, look, I made I need
Speaker 1: love because I like girls.
Speaker 19: I may like rock the bells because I like the
Speaker 19: do the hard for me growing up, I like girls, right,
Speaker 19: So putting I need love out me doing love songs
Speaker 19: is the equivalent of me walking into projects with a
Speaker 19: neck full of jury.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing.
Speaker 19: The strength isn't doing what you want to do true artistically,
Speaker 19: that's where the strength is. I do what I want
Speaker 19: to do artistically. I don't do what they say I
Speaker 19: should do, because then I'm not being me, I'm fronting,
Speaker 19: I'm being somebody else.
Speaker 1: Right, So I think that you know, and I just say,
Speaker 1: just a lot of.
Speaker 19: Young men in general, never limit yourself to the perception
Speaker 19: of what other people think you should be.
Speaker 1: Don't limit yourself to that. Be yourself, all right?
Speaker 2: We got more with ll cool J in the Roots
Speaker 2: when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 2: Good morning owing everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne to God.
Speaker 2: We are the Breakfast Club's still kicking it with LL
Speaker 2: cool J in the Roots. Does that have a baldy
Speaker 2: with for y'all that you know, y'ell are so legendary
Speaker 2: and hip hop, But people might not look at you
Speaker 2: as a raper. They might just look at you as
Speaker 2: an actor, or people might not look at y'all as
Speaker 2: the Roots, as in a group, but just the guys
Speaker 2: that we're being for tonight, you know, the younger generation especially, No, I.
Speaker 22: Think there's value in that we've been able to reinvent
Speaker 22: ourselves in a way that our brand has had, you know,
Speaker 22: different iterations, different complete just lives. So the fact that yeah,
Speaker 22: we've been on you know TV every day for the
Speaker 22: past fifteen years, it's a whole demo. They only know
Speaker 22: us from that, so that leaves a whole new space
Speaker 22: for them to explore when they discover our body at work.
Speaker 22: And then there's people who've been die hard fans of
Speaker 22: you know, l L and the Roots forever who may
Speaker 22: have lost track of our musical contributions along the way.
Speaker 1: So I just appreciate the chance to sort of keep
Speaker 1: reintroducing myself.
Speaker 22: Me and Lle was just talking about how, you know,
Speaker 22: you just pop out every now and then as an
Speaker 22: artist to shut it down with those little, you know,
Speaker 22: not not so gentle reminders, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 22: And you're good, and that's sort of how we navigate
Speaker 22: the space.
Speaker 19: And you know, the way I look at it as
Speaker 19: it's just an opportunity, you know what I'm saying. It's
Speaker 19: a beautiful opportunity to put you up on something new
Speaker 19: and if you don't know, come find out, come to
Speaker 19: the show.
Speaker 1: You know, what I'm saying. That's why we're on tour.
Speaker 1: You can come see some music.
Speaker 19: It's multi generational, you know, just like the festival, multi generational.
Speaker 19: So come out to the tour, come to the forth tour,
Speaker 19: see what we're doing. You know what I'm saying, Get
Speaker 19: put onto something new. It's that simple, you know what
Speaker 19: I'm saying. If you don't know, come find out.
Speaker 1: Is it true that Jimmy Fallon is paying the staff
Speaker 1: out of the pocket? Why y'all all straight?
Speaker 23: That's a no question, Like, let me check my check,
Speaker 23: let me check my baby account right now that I
Speaker 23: got like nineteen other jobs.
Speaker 1: It's not like you know, no, no one is getting paid.
Speaker 1: Uh after that, that's kind of a myth.
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask, was there any at any point
Speaker 2: of any of your lives did y'all lose love for
Speaker 2: hip hop? Maybe it was the sound change, maybe it
Speaker 2: was wasn't received the right way, or maybe it was
Speaker 2: I'm getting money over here? Was there any time at
Speaker 2: that at all?
Speaker 9: For me?
Speaker 19: No, because I'm getting money over here has nothing to
Speaker 19: do with love and hip hop. I don't make rap
Speaker 19: you music and do hip hop culture and rock the
Speaker 19: bells and all this to make money, just survive.
Speaker 23: Well, I will say that, you know, there's times if
Speaker 23: you're creative and your passion turns into your livelihood, that
Speaker 23: sometimes you might have to leave it for a second.
Speaker 23: I mean there's definitely been moments where, like you know,
Speaker 23: like he and I have put since ninety three, probably
Speaker 23: somewhere between one hundred and fifty to two hundred shows
Speaker 23: a year, you know what I mean, from ninety three
Speaker 23: up until like when we start fouing two thousand and nine,
Speaker 23: Like our lives was on a tour bus, and you know,
Speaker 23: the grass is always green on the other side, and
Speaker 23: so ding the Tonight show allowed us, especially to see
Speaker 23: what other magical powers we had, like I didn't know, like, oh,
Speaker 23: I could write books. And both of us are professors
Speaker 23: at NYU. You know, he wrote a play, I did
Speaker 23: a movie and all those other things.
Speaker 19: So a small team man, not more than sparts, just curious,
Speaker 19: like we're creat I think all of us are creatives.
Speaker 23: And that's the thing, Like we're creatives that are discovering
Speaker 23: that sometimes our talent is transferable to other mediums. In avenue,
Speaker 23: like Tarik, he's a better cook. That's how I'll put him.
Speaker 2: Against any three micheline star chef or black grandmother.
Speaker 1: Or whatever about to have my now for real? Like
Speaker 1: he's the Kings Gordon Ramsey, you wanted to smoke? Now
Speaker 1: he's getting up before m You don't.
Speaker 22: Think I cared. I catered for the roofs other night. Yeah,
Speaker 22: I brought a bunch of grubs to it up to
Speaker 22: rock the bell. So you I mean, you're go ahead
Speaker 22: and tell him what I brought.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 23: Yes, everything from crab legs to lobster, to Colin Greens
Speaker 23: to like his cookie, But that's what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 1: His c check all the box you left the ChIL Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love the chillings on the grill. Be a moment
Speaker 1: in your careers where y'all questioning things though, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely there have been many moments, uh, and we're I've
Speaker 1: questioned you know, myself and where we've questioned ourselves, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean as a collective.
Speaker 22: And you know, in those moments of pause, that's when
Speaker 22: you're able to answer the call. And I think you know,
Speaker 22: you just get those bursts of clarity. And it's been
Speaker 22: a blessing that we've been able to reinvent ourselves, you know,
Speaker 22: because yeah, you know, I just like I was saying,
Speaker 22: I would be making music. I would be writing songs
Speaker 22: and you know, creating art whether I was able to
Speaker 22: you know, support myself and my family off it or not.
Speaker 22: So it's a blessing, like you know, I mean, the
Speaker 22: plus is that I'm also able to make a career
Speaker 22: out of it, you know what I'm saying. But yeah,
Speaker 22: there's been times that I've questioned, you know, like what
Speaker 22: the next chapter will look like or what the next
Speaker 22: you know, sort of act like three of my career,
Speaker 22: you know, am I gonna be able to swing another?
Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 22: Reinvention is those moments when you sort of listen to
Speaker 22: the universe and you go with your heart and and
Speaker 22: things become more clear.
Speaker 19: I mean, yeah, listen, man, It's always gonna be a
Speaker 19: time of life where you have doubts and you have concerns,
Speaker 19: and you have insecurities, and you feel like uncomfortable or
Speaker 19: discomfortable about certain things. But like like Tarik said, you know,
Speaker 19: answering that call and following your intuition, following that small
Speaker 19: voice inside of.
Speaker 1: You and go for it.
Speaker 19: You know, you can't be fearful in life. You can't
Speaker 19: be scary and you the person that has to be
Speaker 19: able to you have to be able to trust the
Speaker 19: most is yourself. And you have to be able to
Speaker 19: trust yourself in moments when you are susceptible to fear
Speaker 19: and weakness, and you just have to find that strength
Speaker 19: and keep moving through.
Speaker 2: You have times had been challenged and you throw shots,
Speaker 2: whether it's Mo d back and Day Cannabus or people
Speaker 2: even say, oh, have you ever ran into the people
Speaker 2: that you've ever had into a lyrical sparring? And is
Speaker 2: it all jokes and fun now or is it still
Speaker 2: like standolphish?
Speaker 19: Ain't no standoffish man, that's a spot. Okay, there's no time.
Speaker 1: I mean some dudes. Look, everybody's different, man. Some people,
Speaker 1: you know, it really bothers them, Like you know some
Speaker 1: people like post Jack the Ripper, right or post how
Speaker 1: you like me?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 19: Like were you and d Ever in the room together
Speaker 19: at any of that those periods, like yeah, I walked
Speaker 19: out on stage of this concert before, like I'm crazy
Speaker 19: waiting what there was no there was no social media? Man, Yeah,
Speaker 19: we see each other.
Speaker 15: We laugh.
Speaker 1: When you walked out. What happened? Nothing that's ridiculous. L
Speaker 1: kind of pioneered the rap.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, yeah, you know, but then with cannabis. You
Speaker 2: know what I mean, have y'all left y'all spoken?
Speaker 1: Brought him out at Barclays when I perform. Remember that's right.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You know, I see and I see, we see pictures.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we got the you know we're doing
Speaker 1: we got things we're doing now together. You know what
Speaker 1: about you and what was what was you in hohod?
Speaker 1: But I never understood that one either. That felt like
Speaker 1: just ego. I really, I honestly couldn't tell you, bro,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. All I know is it's all love.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like you know, it's we
Speaker 1: Gucci like for real, like you know, you know listen, man,
Speaker 1: does a conversation make things straight or just over time?
Speaker 1: It just you realize it wasn't really about nothing.
Speaker 2: They said at the time that you didn't like him
Speaker 2: as president or death ya, and that's they said. It
Speaker 2: came from.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 21: Next question, y'all in the old street stuff and the
Speaker 21: stuff like streets, yea. Next question, I tell you like this,
Speaker 21: I tell you like this, man, You know, at the
Speaker 21: end of the day, I got love for everybody.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I just want to do
Speaker 1: great things.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 19: As a matter of fact, I think there's a part
Speaker 19: in the show where I actually get into this stuff
Speaker 19: a little bit with a freestyle.
Speaker 1: So you know, people should just come to the show
Speaker 1: and check it out. And he how I address it,
Speaker 1: I will keep a lock.
Speaker 2: We got more with Lell and the Roots.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club the Morning about music and how
Speaker 1: do y'all feel about it? We all celebrating fifty years
Speaker 1: of hip hop. About icons that haven't gotten paid, like
Speaker 1: icons that really paved the way, laid this foundation, but
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten paid the way they feel like they should.
Speaker 23: You know, that's the that's the million dollar question in
Speaker 23: music industry because it happens with blues artists, is happening
Speaker 23: with my dad's generation.
Speaker 19: And you know, look, I started Rock the Bells as
Speaker 19: a company, right, so I gave DJ coolherk equity run.
Speaker 19: DMC has equity and Rock the Bell's ownership. Rock Sanne
Speaker 19: Chante has ownership, Big Daddy Kane has ownership, Salt and
Speaker 19: Pepper has ownership.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eminem actually invested he wrote a check. He has some.
Speaker 19: Ernie Panacolea the photographer hip hop photographer, has ownership. I
Speaker 19: gave quite a few different people fab five Freddy as ownership.
Speaker 19: And because we've created such a high evaluation with Rock
Speaker 19: the Bells and what that's become, that equity is going
Speaker 19: to mean something for them in their states. So why
Speaker 19: did I answer like that? Because my thing is this,
Speaker 19: you don't get better, you get better. And instead of
Speaker 19: like when I felt like, oh, I don't feel like
Speaker 19: they play my music enough, I got my own channel right.
Speaker 19: But then I decided, you know what, it's not about
Speaker 19: me though, It's about the culture. So I'm gonna play.
Speaker 19: I'm not gonna be a pig. I'm a flipp it.
Speaker 19: I'm gonna make sure that I take care of everybody.
Speaker 19: So with Rock the Bells, that question is being answered
Speaker 19: through action. You feel what I'm saying. So that's how
Speaker 19: you deal with that, You know what I mean, Charlaman,
Speaker 19: That's how you deal with it. You don't deal with
Speaker 19: it by complaining and pulling out the world's smallest violin
Speaker 19: and just talking about how sad it is that it
Speaker 19: happened again.
Speaker 1: You do something about it. You know what I mean.
Speaker 23: And there are some things that have happened as well
Speaker 23: that well you'll know about later, like union or something
Speaker 23: you'll hear about it later.
Speaker 2: Now, what was your what was your most favorite hip
Speaker 2: hop moment?
Speaker 5: For me?
Speaker 1: You know, I mean there's been very many of them.
Speaker 22: A standout moment for me, like when I felt like
Speaker 22: I had arrived as an MC was many years ago?
Speaker 1: Was it ninety six? A great damn hip Hop? Ninety eight?
Speaker 1: When was that ninety post magazine show?
Speaker 23: Oh, double excel looten. It was the day we mastered
Speaker 23: things for all apart. It's like September twenty eight, nineteen
Speaker 23: ninety eight.
Speaker 22: So yeah, like in ninety eight, when you know everybody,
Speaker 22: they got all of hip hop essentially together, or at
Speaker 22: least you know, people who represented every genre, you know,
Speaker 22: every region.
Speaker 1: We all got together in Harlem and took a photo.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 22: I was based on the image that Goring Parks took, uh,
Speaker 22: you know years ago. That was a great day in
Speaker 22: jazz where you know, all the jazz musicians took the
Speaker 22: same photo on these uh in front of these brownstones
Speaker 22: and Harlem.
Speaker 1: And I had to step out right before this photo
Speaker 1: was taken.
Speaker 22: I had to step out to like one like use
Speaker 22: the bathroom soon and I left and when I came
Speaker 22: back there was ready to take the picture. So I'm like,
Speaker 22: you know, excuse me, like ushering my way back through
Speaker 22: the crowd because I think what they had the roots
Speaker 22: was way in the nosebleeds of this image and that
Speaker 22: you know, making my way back up to the top,
Speaker 22: I bumped in a rock camp, you know, when it
Speaker 22: was my first time meeting him in person. And when
Speaker 22: he looked at he had like a hoodie on. You know,
Speaker 22: I ain't know who I bumped into. When I looked
Speaker 22: at dude, it was like a druid or somebody. And
Speaker 22: he lift his head up, pulled the hoodie back. He
Speaker 22: was like, oh you and he was he was like
Speaker 22: more excited to meet me. And I was like, yo,
Speaker 22: like I must be that dude like yeah, you know,
Speaker 22: like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, that was That was a huge moment
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 22: I went back up there and you know, I took
Speaker 22: I took the pic, and uh that think things have
Speaker 22: never been the same for me.
Speaker 19: I think the biggest moment in hip hop for me
Speaker 19: in my entire career. The moment that like really it
Speaker 19: was they called me bigen yo want to I want
Speaker 19: to see that and that was a moment talk about
Speaker 19: I mean that big elle moment.
Speaker 1: Listen, I want to talk.
Speaker 22: I want to talk about just how fun it is,
Speaker 22: you know for me as an artist, as someone you
Speaker 22: know who came up just quoting all these lyrics to
Speaker 22: what you know, to have a chance to support my heroes,
Speaker 22: you know what I mean. It's always a full circle
Speaker 22: moment for me when I get up there and I
Speaker 22: get to sort of play the support and role to
Speaker 22: an l L or a cane or cam or you know.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yea is huge for me.
Speaker 19: It's not you know what's impressive though, What suppressive is
Speaker 19: you know everybody's catalog have you have? You have a
Speaker 19: photographic memory and you sound great and you know it's
Speaker 19: like it comes natural. So it's like you're a pro,
Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So you know, and you
Speaker 19: got a why mic is still can stay out the way.
Speaker 19: So that's some rips, like you know, you know, everybody
Speaker 19: don't know how to do that, Like I'm used to that,
Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So it's like those kinds
Speaker 19: of things like, I mean, look, I love working with them.
Speaker 19: I love the what we're doing.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 19: I think that when people come and see this tour
Speaker 19: and see how we're doing it, the guests we bring
Speaker 19: in and out depending on what city where Queen Latife
Speaker 19: or a method man of Red Man or Juvenile or
Speaker 19: even Iced Tea. He got some dates on the tour.
Speaker 19: He's gonna be out there with me on stage. I mean,
Speaker 19: so many different acts that will be on the stage.
Speaker 19: I think people are going to be blown away.
Speaker 1: How stressful was putting together the fiftieth anniversary tribute for
Speaker 1: the Grammys, Because I know.
Speaker 23: You, Ques, I put it this way to the artists
Speaker 23: dropped out in our before taping. And the thing is
Speaker 23: is that it's so tightly choreographed that you're not just
Speaker 23: dealing with like we make it look easy, like okay,
Speaker 23: that I is not here right now, so let's just
Speaker 23: skip his part.
Speaker 1: No, because the show is live.
Speaker 23: So this means that now I personally have to run
Speaker 23: to the light people to tell them, Yo, the seven
Speaker 23: minute and thirteen second portion untill eight twenty three is out.
Speaker 23: While they're doing the show live doing commercial breaks, they
Speaker 23: have to now edit. Then you have to run to
Speaker 23: the dancers and tell them, hey, guys, bad news, blah
Speaker 23: blah blah blah blah's not here anymore. So and they're
Speaker 23: all like dejected, like I hadn't It was the most
Speaker 23: magiver thing I ever did in my life, where and
Speaker 23: it still came off like I wasn't even aware that
Speaker 23: lul Uzivert had got my text for him to come
Speaker 23: on stage to do that. So I'm thinking, I don't
Speaker 23: know if you remember Purple Range when like Prince stormed
Speaker 23: off stage after Prople Rain because he thought like he
Speaker 23: like I was about to have a panic attack, like
Speaker 23: it's over, It's over, and all the roots are celebrating.
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what do you war? And they're looking
Speaker 1: on Twitter like you see this, and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: was he was on stage?
Speaker 23: Only because only because where I was positioned, I couldn't
Speaker 23: see my like couldn't see if he actually like.
Speaker 22: Literally I will say, yeah, the way the stage of
Speaker 22: the Grammys this year was set up, it was two
Speaker 22: complete different stages.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so like half this band was, you know,
Speaker 1: essentially in a different room. So it came off.
Speaker 23: But just as the person who was the traffic cop
Speaker 23: making up for you know, okay, we gotta skip this
Speaker 23: on that or whatever.
Speaker 2: Like it was a difficult one.
Speaker 19: It was a hell Mary throw and then you know
Speaker 19: you can called it. You gotta talk to people. You know,
Speaker 19: some people you have to like rub lavender synth under
Speaker 19: they know was another dude.
Speaker 1: Goddamn, he needs a black couple of black coffee.
Speaker 19: This one over here, you gotta put your thumb right
Speaker 19: on his trap right if you talk to him. This
Speaker 19: one you gotta pay. You gotta snap your fingers. He's okay, okay,
Speaker 19: you know what I mean. So it's like, you know,
Speaker 19: somebody is distracted, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I feel like an impossible show to do, though, because
Speaker 1: you're going to miss people, and people are gonna get
Speaker 1: recommended me.
Speaker 23: Well, now I don't recommend it. I just recommend that
Speaker 23: you you make sure that you know what you're getting too.
Speaker 23: Because back in November I was like, oh yeah, I
Speaker 23: want to do this, and then by January I was like,
Speaker 23: I see what y'all did.
Speaker 1: Now, y'all good guy, not nice guy?
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 19: We knew in advance we couldn't have everybody. It'd be
Speaker 19: ten thousand people. We can't do ten thousand songs in
Speaker 19: a row.
Speaker 23: Yeah, my first draft was like twenty eight minutes because
Speaker 23: I included everybody, you know what I mean? So you
Speaker 23: know it was supposed to be eleven minutes, and we
Speaker 23: fought hard for those thirteen minutes.
Speaker 19: Like we just and you got to remember how many
Speaker 19: millions of dollars those minutes costs. Right, you know what
Speaker 19: I'm saying, question, we're doing right by a culture, and
Speaker 19: that's the thing. Quest Look did a massive job orchestrating it,
Speaker 19: kind of moving these pieces around.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like you gotta have you know,
Speaker 1: you do the best you can.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 19: We knew we couldn't please everybody, you know, he did,
Speaker 19: he did, He went, He did everything within his power
Speaker 19: to make sure that everybody was represented on some level,
Speaker 19: everybody from Chuck D to Blow Riller and little.
Speaker 1: Baby I will keep a lock.
Speaker 2: We got more with the roots.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning.
Speaker 2: And everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne, the god we are.
Speaker 2: The Breakfast Club was still kicking it with LL cool
Speaker 2: J in the Roots, Charlamagne.
Speaker 1: How do y'all feel about lists? Because Billboard had y'all
Speaker 1: ranked number ten group of all time. Really yeah, ll
Speaker 1: had you ranked number fourteen of the top rappers ever
Speaker 1: and you coined the term goat, But for some reason
Speaker 1: your name doesn't always get put in those goat conversations?
Speaker 1: How did that?
Speaker 19: Because he's too good? People can never look at well,
Speaker 19: you know, you know, I guess I just got to
Speaker 19: do something about it. You know, I guess that just
Speaker 19: means I got some work to do, you know what
Speaker 19: I mean. I guess that's what it means. I mean,
Speaker 19: I could sit here and come up with a thousand
Speaker 19: different excuses, but at the end of the day, I
Speaker 19: guess my job is to change that narrative.
Speaker 1: So yeah, to be continued for me, man Like, I'm
Speaker 1: not you know, I'm fine.
Speaker 22: Like whoever, when I do fall like on those lists,
Speaker 22: it's always, you know, just an honor to be held
Speaker 22: in the company that I'm held in.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's never any other artists
Speaker 1: on them list that I don't feel, you know, deserve it.
Speaker 1: But you know where you rank.
Speaker 22: I think that you know, it's relative, and I think
Speaker 22: that you know it varies from person to person, different
Speaker 22: folks opinions. Yeah, I know, I'm I'm a force to
Speaker 22: be reckoning with. I know everybody know that, so I'm
Speaker 22: fine with it, you know.
Speaker 19: Yeah, And you know the other thing I would add
Speaker 19: is that I think this is an overused term, but
Speaker 19: in my cases, I'm different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying the fact I really am.
Speaker 19: So it's like if they don't understand, like how much
Speaker 19: I changed the world, if you wasn't there, you just
Speaker 19: don't understand that. Like you have to remember that just
Speaker 19: with death Jam alone. Name the artists that will signed
Speaker 19: the death gam over time.
Speaker 1: Name five.
Speaker 19: So let's stop right there, right. So, I'm the first
Speaker 19: artist on death Jam. It was a production company, Tela Rock.
Speaker 19: I'm the first artist. I put the label on my
Speaker 19: back and I got us the distribution deal with my album.
Speaker 19: What are we talking about? What are we really talking
Speaker 19: about it?
Speaker 1: Like, so that's putting the work into really be a pillow.
Speaker 2: I gotta ask Mount Rushmore of hip hop to y'all,
Speaker 2: who would be the four faces on that?
Speaker 1: Not even personally? You can't be personal. And we're telling
Speaker 1: me those people that put hisself on I mean you,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like your personal favorites, like in the
Speaker 1: future when we're not here and somebody looking like, who
Speaker 1: are those people? They call me big man? All right,
Speaker 1: So my as as as a music.
Speaker 23: Lover DJ and a producer, my mount Rushmore of albums
Speaker 23: would probably be Nation of Millions, three ft I and Rising,
Speaker 23: and then the thirty six and probably lastly I might
Speaker 23: say Midnight Marauders. Like those four records sort of informed
Speaker 23: me to go deep into the culture and actually to
Speaker 23: get my own career.
Speaker 1: So look, man, I just keep it, keep it simple
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 19: When you talk about like a real rush More and
Speaker 19: you talk about the shaping of the culture, you have
Speaker 19: to look at its first principles. You know, it's like
Speaker 19: anything else, you break it down the first principles, right,
Speaker 19: you know, you gotta put DJ cool Hirk. He ain't
Speaker 19: on Rushmore. I just he just started it. No big deal,
Speaker 19: no big deal. This is something I did, Okay. And
Speaker 19: then you have to put run DMC up up there
Speaker 19: because they kicked down the doors and the walls, and
Speaker 19: you know, put me on there back to a certain
Speaker 19: stand as well. And I was the solo guy who
Speaker 19: went out there, got shot out of that cannon. And
Speaker 19: then you have to put Flash and mail Flash because
Speaker 19: he made us dream of the culture, the DJ, the
Speaker 19: art of the DJ, the idea that a DJ could
Speaker 19: affect culture and move culture.
Speaker 1: Flash made us do that.
Speaker 19: And then you gotta say mal because he was the
Speaker 19: first original prolific writer. Like those are the core, you
Speaker 19: know what I'm saying. You have a couple of others,
Speaker 19: but like that core, right there is the real core.
Speaker 19: Anything after that fan based this. You know, it's based
Speaker 19: on oh he made money or oh he had a
Speaker 19: lot of platinum albums. Oh he got people to change
Speaker 19: their shirts. Oh yo that he got you know, all
Speaker 19: of that is cool, but DJ cool, Hirk Run, DMC, Grandmaster,
Speaker 19: Flash and Mail.
Speaker 1: You removed that and like what you got?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: For me, I think it boils down to, uh, just
Speaker 1: who had the most impact, you know, upon my craft.
Speaker 1: So I get props to you know, the the L's
Speaker 1: and you know the BC Boys and the Chuck D's
Speaker 1: and even running them even though they weren't depth jam artists,
Speaker 1: but that whole first wave of depth jam artists were
Speaker 1: the first people that I heard had that rush roster.
Speaker 1: They had that powerful cadence that was just different from
Speaker 1: with mel and Curtis Blow and everybody was doing you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, run DMC. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 22: They came out like wolves going on here el cool,
Speaker 22: then chuck d you know what I mean, yelling. There
Speaker 22: was the yelling, so it was you know, that was
Speaker 22: like wow, like they had arrived. They you know, changed
Speaker 22: the way I wrote. You know what I'm saying. After
Speaker 22: I was exposed to that, did you ever write for.
Speaker 2: You, collabor collaborate on You can still tap this joke me,
Speaker 2: you can still tape?
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, Now. We never did any
Speaker 1: music together. I saw this on the internet. Somebody said
Speaker 1: around that time, Cube was helping you. You know what,
Speaker 1: people have this.
Speaker 19: You know, you know people, they got a lot of stories, bro,
Speaker 19: They come up with a lot of stories, you know
Speaker 19: what I mean. Hey, Hey, hey, Michael Jordan, did uh
Speaker 19: somebody ever bounced the ball for you and shoot your
Speaker 19: jump shot for you? Like, no, I shot the jump shot.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 19: I'm not above collaborating on a chorus or working on
Speaker 19: something like I'm not I'm not picky like that. If
Speaker 19: I was writing a rhyme and somebody said, YO said
Speaker 19: a word, I'd be like, all right, I like that word.
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. But you know, I write my songs.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I have to because it
Speaker 1: has to come from me.
Speaker 19: And if you collaborate too much on at least from
Speaker 19: LL cool J fans, If I collaborated too much with
Speaker 19: somebody on writing, it would affect what they're listening to.
Speaker 19: It wouldn't sound like me, you know what I mean,
Speaker 19: because they are very unique things to LL cool J.
Speaker 19: So I'll give you I'll give you an example. So
Speaker 19: I tried to do a more collaborative writing album. I
Speaker 19: did a whole album with fifty Cents and we were
Speaker 19: writing together on this album. And when it was done,
Speaker 19: I listened to it. I'm like, it sounds good. I
Speaker 19: like the music, the rhymes, it sounds.
Speaker 1: Cool, but it ain't me.
Speaker 19: So I didn't put it out. It wasn't nothing against fifty.
Speaker 19: I love fifty. I just wanted to try something different.
Speaker 19: Maybe we collaborate right together. It didn't work. I think
Speaker 19: you think Paradise was this O no, no, no, no.
Speaker 19: Paradise is totally different. Fifty wrote the chorus on Paradise
Speaker 19: for a Marie what she sung. He didn't write my rhymes,
Speaker 19: you know what I mean? Like people get that a
Speaker 19: little you know what I'm saying. That being said when
Speaker 19: that happened, I didn't even know fifty was involved. That
Speaker 19: was the track masters. They got that done right and
Speaker 19: they played it with the chorus.
Speaker 1: I liked it, etc. You know, we tried to work
Speaker 1: together and that's my man. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 19: We real cool, But the collaborative thing when it comes
Speaker 19: to my verses, that doesn't work for me.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm kind of like, it's funny when
Speaker 1: you do this a long time.
Speaker 19: The longer you do this, the more people does he
Speaker 19: still got can he still do it? Is he gonna
Speaker 19: be able to do it? It kind of reminds me
Speaker 19: of the Crawfit fight the other night. There were a
Speaker 19: lot of people who like were really like nervous for Crawfit, right, Yeah,
Speaker 19: it was a lot of people that were nervous for
Speaker 19: Crawfit when he was walking in the ring and he
Speaker 19: showed what it is. And I think with me, for
Speaker 19: whatever reason, people are never quite sure if how it's
Speaker 19: gonna be.
Speaker 1: But do you like being underestimated? I love it, I
Speaker 1: actually love it. I'm good with that.
Speaker 19: I'm good with that because that, you know, that only
Speaker 19: makes the jab that much stiffer than we appreciate.
Speaker 1: Make sure we get the tickets for the tour. How
Speaker 1: can they get tickets if they need to go to
Speaker 1: I mean, just.
Speaker 19: Go to ticketmaster dot com and check it out. The
Speaker 19: fourth Tour a lot Cool Jay and the Roots and
Speaker 19: oh one other thing.

Speaker 1: I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all
Speaker 1: like this. Before we do Donkey today, I want to
Speaker 1: tell y'all too that first of all, dropping the clues
Speaker 1: box to lug in the roots right absolutely out. That
Speaker 1: interview will be up on YouTube and it's how long
Speaker 1: is it? Iur in thirty hour and thirty minutes. So yeah,
Speaker 1: great conversation. Yes, Donkey Today for Wednesday August nine goes
Speaker 1: to Derek Porter. Now Derek is a Georgia man, but
Speaker 1: this incident happened in Panama City Beach, Florida. So it's
Speaker 1: clearly something in the water in Florida. You spend too
Speaker 1: much time there, you get hit with that Florida fool gene.
Speaker 1: Now what does you uncle y'all always say about the
Speaker 1: great state of Florida. They're craziest people in America come
Speaker 1: from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is
Speaker 1: no exception. Okay, Derek Porter, you are a Florida man today.
Speaker 1: Now let me start with the headline courtesy of news
Speaker 1: Channel eight Florida, because I love the headlines when they
Speaker 1: come from Florida. Okay, when it's Florida foolishness, all the
Speaker 1: headlines be amazing. Okay, first off, the headline reads Florida.
Speaker 1: Then it says man breaks into Florida church, baptizes himself
Speaker 1: before stealing money. Let's go to news Channel eight for
Speaker 1: the report.
Speaker 14: Police mid morning man not ended today with a Georgia
Speaker 14: man in custody bake on his Sheriff's deputies arrested Derek
Speaker 14: Porter on burglary, criminal.
Speaker 1: Misshif and several drug charges.
Speaker 14: They say that Porter broke into the Emerald Beach Church
Speaker 14: of God on alf Coleman and Panama City Beach this morning.
Speaker 14: He allegedly used a cinder block to smash a window,
Speaker 14: which alerted to the church employee, who fled.
Speaker 1: Authority say that Porter.
Speaker 14: Called about eight thousand dollars in damage, took some electronic
Speaker 14: equipment and the church money bag. Depanese, Panama City Beach
Speaker 14: police and canine units descended on the church and arrested Porter.
Speaker 14: They say he had meth and paraphernalia. Porter supposedly claimed
Speaker 14: that he could not remember what happened inside of the church,
Speaker 14: at least not most of it, but he did say
Speaker 14: he remembered baptizing himself in the church's baptism pool, and
Speaker 14: he claimed something was holding his head under the water.
Speaker 14: Porter was already free on bond for a burglary in Georgia.
Speaker 1: There's so much wrong with this. First of all, using
Speaker 1: to send the block to break the church's windows, to
Speaker 1: break into the church. Now, I know, Scripture says that
Speaker 1: God does not live in houses made by human hands,
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna say the church is God's house,
Speaker 1: but it is a place of positivity for the most part,
Speaker 1: a place with people congregate in worship, a place where
Speaker 1: people go to seek forgiveness and salvation. To break the
Speaker 1: church's windows may not send you to hell, but damn it,
Speaker 1: it's shure not creating positive energy in your life either.
Speaker 1: This sounds like this brother watched First Sunday with Ice
Speaker 1: Cuban Tracy Morgan one too many times. All Right, the
Speaker 1: church is the place where you go to learn about
Speaker 1: the most forgiving entity ever God. Okay, keyword is for giving,
Speaker 1: all right. In Derek's mind, he looked at the church
Speaker 1: to be responsible for giving him money. All right, Listen,
Speaker 1: we know every church collects tides and offerings and of
Speaker 1: course the building fund that don't really be building anything.
Speaker 1: But never did we ever think to rob the church?
Speaker 1: Have we ever thought about taking back our twenty dollars
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that we put in the
Speaker 1: collect you know, putting in a five or a couple
Speaker 1: ones instead. Yes, Okay, every Sunday we think about that
Speaker 1: when you're given your offering. But you really pushing God's
Speaker 1: forgiveness when you take the criminal actions in the church. Now,
Speaker 1: let's keep in mind that police said they found meth
Speaker 1: and drug paraphernilia on Derek, so he was probably high
Speaker 1: out of his mind. And when he tells police that
Speaker 1: he could not remember what happened during various moments inside
Speaker 1: the church, it's because he was high, all right. But
Speaker 1: he does remember baptizing himself in the church's baptistory pool.
Speaker 1: It's safe to say he was high out of his
Speaker 1: mind if that's what he thinks. Okay, see Porter claims
Speaker 1: something was holding his head down under the water while
Speaker 1: letting the pool. Derek, let me be the first to
Speaker 1: tell you that you were experiencing a meth induced psychosis,
Speaker 1: all right, hallucination. You weren't being baptized. You were swimming,
Speaker 1: all right. You took a lap or two in the
Speaker 1: church's pool. Now, can you baptize yourself? Sure?
Speaker 19: All right.
Speaker 1: It's not the pattern laid out in the Bible, nor
Speaker 1: is that the recommended method of being baptized. However, if
Speaker 1: you truly understand the purpose of water baptism that is
Speaker 1: revealed the Word of God, Okay, you can do it,
Speaker 1: all right. And if you have no one who was
Speaker 1: able to baptize you at the time, then of course
Speaker 1: you might do it yourself. But don't listen to me, okay,
Speaker 1: because there's not a Jakes or robertson my name. So
Speaker 1: I could be totally wrong, but I don't think breaking
Speaker 1: into a church being high off meth is the right
Speaker 1: environment are setting for a baptism? Now, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something else. Let me tell you where else this
Speaker 1: man went wrong and why he's truly getting donkey here
Speaker 1: to day to day. You're broken to the church. Okay,
Speaker 1: send the block to the window. Bang. You cost eight
Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of damage to the church. Then you
Speaker 1: stole all the electronics, TV's computers, and the church's money bag.
Speaker 1: That's why you're being charged with burglary of an occupied destructure.
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. Your order was off, my brother. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're broken to the church and baptized yourself first and
Speaker 1: then committed all these sins. If you was gonna do it,
Speaker 1: you should have broken to the church, stole what you
Speaker 1: wanted to steal, and saved the baptism for last, because
Speaker 1: the whole point of baptism is to wash your where
Speaker 1: your sins. Correct. What you did is the equivalent of
Speaker 1: taking a shower and then doing a number two. Okay,
Speaker 1: you are a different type of human, basically a psychopath.
Speaker 1: If you shower, then do a number two on purpose. Okay,
Speaker 1: I understand sometimes you know happens, all right, but nobody
Speaker 1: purposely takes a shower and then does the number two,
Speaker 1: just like nobody walks into a church, gets baptized and
Speaker 1: then sins on purpose. You might sin after you get baptized,
Speaker 1: but not on purpose, like you have to pick one there,
Speaker 1: all right, if you're gonna break into a church and
Speaker 1: still you have to get baptized at a later date,
Speaker 1: but you're damn showing on baptize yourself first and then sin.
Speaker 1: Please give Derek Porter the sweet signs of the Hamilton's.
Speaker 13: Oh no, you are the doggy of the day, the
Speaker 13: dogee all the day.
Speaker 9: Ye.
Speaker 1: Now, I can't prove any of this, but but I
Speaker 1: feel like ej Envy showers and then takes the number
Speaker 1: two on purpose. What do you think, Ashley?
Speaker 2: Is that what you're thinking about?
Speaker 1: Why is the way you looked when I said it?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 1: Yes, when I said it, you looked like.
Speaker 3: He was unfazed.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2: No, that's not not true at all. But the way
Speaker 2: you just asked that question, it seems like on won't
Speaker 2: you just answer the question, what if I poop my shower.
Speaker 1: Do you shower and then poop on purpose?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, just you are a liar and a liar that's
Speaker 1: not true.
Speaker 2: Okay when I poop my shower, all right, I'm not judging.
Speaker 2: Why are you all on my butt? Not not, nor
Speaker 2: do I want to be? And why you're asking? B
Speaker 2: E T will see you guys tomorrow piece b T
Speaker 2: all right, everybody else, let's open up the phone lines
Speaker 2: eight hundred five eight five one oh five. When this
Speaker 2: conversation comes from yo gotta now. He was doing an
Speaker 2: interview out in l a h. And he was as
Speaker 2: he was doing an interview, his phone rang and it
Speaker 2: was his girl, and he answered it, we don't have
Speaker 2: the audio. Great, correct, What a well oiled machine this is.
Speaker 2: So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one oh
Speaker 2: five one, ladies, do you feel all men should have
Speaker 2: to have this kind of energy to make sure no
Speaker 2: matter when you call the answer, to make sure that
Speaker 2: you're a priority. That is the question. Eight hundred five
Speaker 2: eight five one oh five one. If you ever hear

Speaker 2: on vibrate, but it only rings for my wife. My ring,
Speaker 2: my wife is on ring just in case there's a problem.
Speaker 2: It's an issue, there's a situation, something's wrong with one
Speaker 2: of the kids, or there's a problem. She can get
Speaker 2: through the vibration of the phone.
Speaker 1: So that is the question.
Speaker 2: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. How
Speaker 2: do you feel about asking?
Speaker 3: Absolutely as a product of somebody who's married to someone
Speaker 3: who well, I was friends with for ten years. Absolutely,
Speaker 3: when when I feel like I need to reach you,
Speaker 3: you can drop everything you're doing so I can reach you.
Speaker 3: And I think that's what God he did with Angel
Speaker 3: Simmons because he had been trying to get her like
Speaker 3: bag her for a while. Right, So you ain't gonna
Speaker 3: let go of all that work.
Speaker 2: You put in, all right, So that is the question.
Speaker 2: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Ladies,
Speaker 2: do you feel all men should have this kind of
Speaker 2: energy to make your a priority no matter what is
Speaker 2: going on in your life. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: It's topic time.

Speaker 24: discussion with the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Morning everybody.
Speaker 2: It's DJ n V Charlamagne de God. We are the
Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. We got our special guest hosts Ashley with
Speaker 2: to ease joining us.
Speaker 3: What's going down now?
Speaker 2: If you're just joining us, we're talking about Yo Gotti.
Speaker 2: He was doing an interview out in la and while
Speaker 2: he was doing the interview, his girl called and he
Speaker 2: stopped the interview to answer, let's let's take a listen.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's.
Speaker 6: You want to take that for like, yeah, go ahead, sure, yeah?
Speaker 6: What uh, I'm doing the interview right now. Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: It was shorty. So we're asking who I'm not sure
Speaker 1: I want to just incredible, it's just incredible.
Speaker 2: So we're asking eight hundred and five eight five one
Speaker 2: oh five one, ladies, do you feel all men should
Speaker 2: have this kind of energy to make sure that you're
Speaker 2: a priority regardless of what's going on. That is the
Speaker 2: question I told y'all, Like, my phone is on vibe,
Speaker 2: but if you ever hear it ring during the interview,
Speaker 2: it's because it's my wife. She's the only one that
Speaker 2: could break that vibration of the phone. And I do
Speaker 2: that just in case when I'm over sleeping, if I'm
Speaker 2: out of town, or it's a problem with the kids,
Speaker 2: or she needs to get in touch with me. I
Speaker 2: make sure that she is a priority.
Speaker 1: Now what about you asking I said the same thing.
Speaker 3: I said, I should be your priority like any woman,
Speaker 3: especially now if gott he chased Angel Simmons for how long?
Speaker 3: You chase that chase for that long? You better be
Speaker 3: like on deck at all times?
Speaker 1: What I need you?
Speaker 21: Now?
Speaker 3: Do I think he could have just text her? Yeah,
Speaker 3: but who knows, you know her temper.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna speak on Manchuleman one hundred percent. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. When your wife calls, you got
Speaker 1: to pick up the phone. But I would give a
Speaker 1: little pro tip to the brothers. If you're about to
Speaker 1: do something like you know, if you you know, in
Speaker 1: Gody's case, he was about to do it of you,
Speaker 1: you gotta let your wife know what you're about to do.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I mean, that's that's how
Speaker 1: I get down. I'm like, Yo, I'm about to go
Speaker 1: to such and such. I'm gonna be at such and such,
Speaker 1: so she knows I'm doing something. So therefore, if she
Speaker 1: does call me, I know it's an emergency. I know
Speaker 1: it's something like she not she knows I'm doing something
Speaker 1: For her to be calling me that means that it's
Speaker 1: like an emergency. Now if in that case, God, he
Speaker 1: probably forgot to tell Angela what he was gonna be at,
Speaker 1: and so she was calling, so he decided to pick
Speaker 1: up to let her know, Hey, man, I'm doing an interview.
Speaker 1: I ain't on no bs R. You know because because
Speaker 1: r R, if you don't answer, she might just get
Speaker 1: concerned and get worried because she's like, damn he answered
Speaker 1: for me any other time. Why you're not answering that?
Speaker 1: So if you, if you, if you haven't let your
Speaker 1: wife know where you're gonna be at, uh, definitely pick
Speaker 1: up that phone.
Speaker 2: Hello, who's this? Oh shit, good morning to talk to us.
Speaker 2: What's your what's your thoughts?
Speaker 19: Uh?
Speaker 11: It's truth?
Speaker 1: Ye broke anything?
Speaker 7: You yes, because you can be in a conference. Let's
Speaker 7: ask you to a conference.
Speaker 12: You cannot answer the call.
Speaker 1: That's not a Black people are amazed. Black people are
Speaker 1: amazing because she going just sit there and act like
Speaker 1: she couldn't understand anything that we just said and just
Speaker 1: kept talking like it was like it was no, we
Speaker 1: are really and amazing people.
Speaker 2: Hello, what's your name? Mama?
Speaker 12: To us, I was saying that they should have to
Speaker 12: pick up the phone. I don't think it's that big
Speaker 12: of a deal. It's like two minutes. I'm sure. I
Speaker 12: think two people in a relationship, they no constitutes as
Speaker 12: an emergency. That's when I was talking about this yesterday,
Speaker 12: and it seemed kind of coincidental that I should call
Speaker 12: during the interview, as if she doesn't know his schedule,
Speaker 12: like it's a little.
Speaker 1: Pr well, she might not have known if he didn't
Speaker 1: tell her. You know what I'm saying, like, like that's
Speaker 1: what I was saying earlier, like you got to tell
Speaker 1: your wife I'm about to do X, Y and Z.
Speaker 1: That's why if my wife knows I'm doing something and
Speaker 1: she still calls me, that lets me know that it's
Speaker 1: a serious situation.
Speaker 2: Right, Or he's you know, obviously he's promoting his new
Speaker 2: mixtape that's out right now, so he's on the road,
Speaker 2: so he might be he's on the West coast. She
Speaker 2: might be on the East coast, so that time.
Speaker 1: Might be a little different, so she might not know. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this?
Speaker 2: Hey marshaw?
Speaker 1: Hey, you got the top down? Convertible down? Is something?
Speaker 1: The windows open?

Speaker 1: up every time you call?
Speaker 17: Of course, I mean, yeah, that's what I'm calling for
Speaker 17: this Paul.
Speaker 11: But I feel like if you're busy, if he's busy,
Speaker 11: then just hit me back up because you see me calling,
Speaker 11: so you know it's important.
Speaker 14: True.
Speaker 1: But if I tell you where I'm at, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm trying to avoid you interrupting me

Speaker 1: what up?
Speaker 6: I'm doing an interview right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm telling you it was sure. The

Speaker 1: didn't tell her where he was going to be at prior.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's what that was for.
Speaker 3: He didn't answer what she would have got suspicious.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was been suspicious, but maybe

Speaker 1: you for checking in in the Philippines. Appreciate it exactly.
Speaker 1: We love y'all, love you too.
Speaker 7: We appreciate your young people.
Speaker 1: Y'all right on point that young we're just younger than you.
Speaker 2: That's fine, that's fine, first of all.
Speaker 1: But I need some of this international money. What's up
Speaker 1: with this thing? Let's talk about that. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 11: Good morning?
Speaker 7: This Taqisa?
Speaker 2: Hey, Takeisha talk to us. What's your thoughts? Mama?
Speaker 15: Okay, So every man is not yo Gotti.
Speaker 12: Everybody's not going to answer their phone.
Speaker 11: But everybody's what they're doing, and that's okay.
Speaker 3: Are you offended if they text you back or they
Speaker 3: absolutely have to answer the phone.
Speaker 7: No, No, seriously, because I'm a different type of First,
Speaker 7: I just got to argue with my friends.
Speaker 15: I don't answer my phone.
Speaker 26: It's my phone.
Speaker 8: Well, I don't have to.
Speaker 1: I want to every time you get answer the phone.
Speaker 11: That's a piece of mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what, not every time you can
Speaker 2: answer the phone, because sometimes I can't answer the phone
Speaker 2: and I'll text, hey baby, I'm in an interview. I'll
Speaker 2: call you right back and everything good. So yes, I
Speaker 2: can't answer the phone every single time, but it's just
Speaker 2: that the priority to make sure you're checking in and
Speaker 2: everything is okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's cool too, but it's not.
Speaker 25: There's no reason to.
Speaker 11: I just didn't understand the.
Speaker 7: Big praise about it.
Speaker 12: Okay, answer, that's nice, that's good.
Speaker 15: Not everybody knows, honey, and not everybody got Angelo calling us.
Speaker 1: So I don't think you got nothing to do with
Speaker 1: who the person.
Speaker 7: I knew you was gonna say something.
Speaker 11: I'm not talking about who the person is.
Speaker 12: I'm talking about the fact of how she responded.
Speaker 11: Not everybody's gonna respond the same way that he do.
Speaker 1: I just that's what I mean.
Speaker 8: You don't have call.
Speaker 1: I just think common courtesy. You know, when you're in
Speaker 1: a relationship, whether you're married or just in a relationship,
Speaker 1: if y'all serious, you let your significant other know where
Speaker 1: you're going. You let them know where you're going to
Speaker 1: be and what you're going to be doing, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So therefore, if they do call me,
Speaker 1: they I know it's something, it's some type of an
Speaker 1: emergency because they wouldn't be calling me because I just
Speaker 1: told them I'm doing something, you know.
Speaker 15: True.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he forgot the other. He didn't tell her. Clearly,
Speaker 1: you didn't let her know he was doing.
Speaker 2: Something, Thank you, mama. What's what's the moral of the
Speaker 2: story if there's more?
Speaker 1: The more of the stories is just a respect thing,
Speaker 1: like guess that's all. Like, if you respect your significant other,
Speaker 1: that's easy. Like and and by the way, I think
Speaker 1: you should answer the phone for your significant other anytime,
Speaker 1: you know whatever. If my my wife called me, I
Speaker 1: stop what I do and pick up the phone, because
Speaker 1: that's that's what I want for her to do. You know.
Speaker 2: All right, Well we got rooms on the way.
Speaker 3: But we're talking about Yes, we're talking about the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three VMA's nominations came out. They broke a lot
Speaker 3: of records and then also see her and Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3: They added another baby to the tribe coming soon.

Speaker 15: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: Asley you already know this.
Speaker 3: It's a full circle moment.
Speaker 1: For me on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Let me pop it up first. We got to start
Speaker 3: off saying congratulations to Sierra and Russell Wilson. They expect
Speaker 3: said that they're expecting their baby number three together is
Speaker 3: because it was theer's fourth, because she has the one
Speaker 3: baby future future. But they already have two three children together.

Speaker 3: their daughter Siena who's six, and then also see your
Speaker 3: son future nine together.
Speaker 1: Well, congrats congrats.
Speaker 15: To the.
Speaker 3: Also a lot of big records being broken at this
Speaker 3: year's twenty twenty three vm AS. The nominations are out now.
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift leads the pack with a eight nominations. Scizzle
Speaker 3: comes in second with six. You got Doja Cat and
Speaker 3: Nikki There follow up with five, and women are actually
Speaker 3: dominating the show because it's the first time ever that
Speaker 3: there are no men nominated for Artists of the Year
Speaker 3: that's introduced in twenty seventeen. You got Beyonce, Dojakat, Carol G, Nicki, Minaj, Shakira,
Speaker 3: and Taylor Swift are nominated. Some feel Sissle was sliding debatable,
Speaker 3: that's true, but the first last year, just it's a
Speaker 3: Artist of the Year, it doesn't matter, Yeah, if they
Speaker 3: came out, but this is the first time too. Artists
Speaker 3: in the category come from the Latin genre, which is
Speaker 3: Carol G and Shakira, and the first time they have
Speaker 3: an afrobeats category. So the twenty twenty three VMAs are
Speaker 3: going to be held on Tuesday, September twelfth, live from
Speaker 3: the Prudential Center in Newark. And also, while we're talking
Speaker 3: about nominations, I gotta shout out to y'all because y'all
Speaker 3: got awards for being recognized on Billboard's twenty twenty three
Speaker 3: Hip Hop and R and B Powers Players List. Congrats
Speaker 3: to y'all, Y'all's well as yee Fia Bosston then Doc Winner.
Speaker 1: Are also on there, and also to the MTV Awards.
Speaker 1: That is definitely a reflection of how the year has
Speaker 1: been because the year hasn't been dominated musically women women.
Speaker 1: Let the record show up. That was a category and
Speaker 1: it was all men. People would be raising healthy and
Speaker 1: there needs to be more diversity. I mean it is diverse,
Speaker 1: so I think you know penises, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't know what they identify.
Speaker 2: Shut your ass out, you don't know, shut yours up.
Speaker 2: I think what what dude should be in that category.
Speaker 1: This year year? Probably Dark is probably the person that
Speaker 1: the line from me. Okay, I think Dirk has had
Speaker 1: a good year about Travis, but his album just It
Speaker 1: just came out. Zy Derek and Oz is just two
Speaker 1: that come to mind that could be an Artist of
Speaker 1: the Year.
Speaker 3: Is it too many times for Drake to be nominated?
Speaker 2: Drake could be nominated.
Speaker 3: I feel like every year is D's.
Speaker 2: To sold out to drop the album twenty one Savage
Speaker 2: came Savage Ye. Drake should be in the Drake should
Speaker 2: definitely right, that Drake should being there sold out shows yeah,
Speaker 2: right now right?
Speaker 3: Well, last, but not least on Twitter. Uh, it was
Speaker 3: trending us to that The Reason and td E co
Speaker 3: president got into a heated exchange publicly. So he was
Speaker 3: on the back on fig discussing his issues with td E.
Speaker 3: We have some audio.
Speaker 26: Agree you want to have a combo. Let's have a conbo. Man,
Speaker 26: it sounds like you don't want to be here.
Speaker 14: Damn near Nah.
Speaker 1: I never said that. I said I would never do it.
Speaker 1: No other way. Let's go viral. Since you want to
Speaker 1: do it, come on a.
Speaker 7: Real Can you name me ten Reason songs right now?
Speaker 1: You're from l A. You an l A native?
Speaker 26: Can you name me ten Reason songs right now?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Why is it? I have no.
Speaker 14: Matt you from the team.
Speaker 1: Can you name me? Can you name me two Reason songs?
Speaker 1: Of course? But what I'm trying to say is right,
Speaker 1: they've never.
Speaker 26: Wanted us to sign signed reason. He called him a
Speaker 26: substitute teacher.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 15: I don't.
Speaker 26: Talent, but it's gonna take more than just talent in
Speaker 26: this game right now, and everybody know that.
Speaker 3: So basically the backstory is reason felt like the label
Speaker 3: wasn't moving quick enough, and we've heard the story before
Speaker 3: with Scissa and TDE. He shared that he had the
Speaker 3: opportunity to get features from Lotto and EStG, but td
Speaker 3: E didn't handle business on their end, So he's claiming
Speaker 3: that td is limiting his success and progression as an
Speaker 3: artist by not letting him drop music. And he also
Speaker 3: mentioned that they had the budgets and they had the ideas,
Speaker 3: but nothing was executed.
Speaker 1: So most of our audience wants to know the reason
Speaker 1: we just played that because they have no idea who
Speaker 1: reason it is Red And I like reason. I like
Speaker 1: reading's music a lot. The reason I think I think
Speaker 1: you might be up here next week. Actually yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: But I just know a lot of our listeners have
Speaker 1: no idea who the hell he is, So I mean
Speaker 1: it is I don't know whose fault that is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's TDS or reasons. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's ever anybody's fault when an artist isn't heard.
Speaker 1: We have the Internet, you have all of these platforms.
Speaker 1: There's a million different ways to be heard. If the
Speaker 1: consumer isn't gravitating towards you, I don't like when people
Speaker 1: just blame the label, it just might not be your
Speaker 1: time yet. Just keep me in case.
Speaker 2: It might not be that song, it might not be
Speaker 2: that situation, might not.
Speaker 1: Be that project. That's right.
Speaker 3: But I'm assuming he's also frustrated because he's not getting feedback.
Speaker 3: They're just like, not, don't drop, don't drop. When Sissa
Speaker 3: was going on her Twitter ramp but she couldn't dropped,
Speaker 3: she said the same thing that they weren't telling her.
Speaker 3: Why they just said no, don't drop on drop.
Speaker 1: Well, the reason I would always listen to a label
Speaker 1: like TD is because when they finally do put an
Speaker 1: artist out and get behind the artist, artists usually ghost. Sissa,
Speaker 1: I mean, look at don't you. Don't you about to
Speaker 1: go right now? She's going, don't you You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Things take time? That's all all right?
Speaker 2: All right, well that is your room or report. Now
Speaker 2: let's get into the People's choice mixed eight hundred five
Speaker 2: eighty five one five And of course the roots in
Speaker 2: LL stopped through early, so let's start the mix off
