Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, I didn't.
Speaker 7: I watched the Rap I watched I was trying to
Speaker 7: watch the Rap City documentary though. That's what I was
Speaker 7: really really interested in, but I kept getting pulled in
Speaker 7: different directions around that time. But I want to really
Speaker 7: really sit down and watch the Rap City documentary because
Speaker 7: that is Rap City Documentary looked incredible.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't. I didn't get a chance to see
Speaker 5: the Rap City Documentary. I kind of lived it.
Speaker 8: I think I DJ like five six, seven, eight times
Speaker 8: down there in the base kind of was there. I was,
Speaker 8: you know, I got this chance to see it, and
Speaker 8: that was all I had at that time when I
Speaker 8: was a kid growing up was watching Rap City and
Speaker 8: I got a chance to DJ several times, So it
Speaker 8: was pretty good.
Speaker 7: City is a cultural institution, and that's why I love
Speaker 7: documentaries because sometimes not sometimes all the times, those documentaries
Speaker 7: put cultural institutions in perspective. So even just watching what
Speaker 7: I saw some of last night, you know what I mean,
Speaker 7: it bought back a lot of different feelings and emotions,
Speaker 7: even watching all of the different hosts, because you know,
Speaker 7: there might be people that think of a certain host. Yes,
Speaker 7: but we grew up in the era we saw them all.
Speaker 7: We saw Chris Thomas and Mayor, we saw Joe Claire,
Speaker 7: we saw yeah, you know, we saw Madlins. Yeah, I
Speaker 7: mean we saw the Madlis was last one, Q four
Speaker 7: to five. Madlinks was last one, right, the last two
Speaker 7: last year.
Speaker 5: I think Jay Nicks did it for a little while.
Speaker 5: I remember, I remember that whole run. It's it's interesting.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I can't wait to get home and really
Speaker 7: get into that RAHP City documentary.

Speaker 7: Look at this sanchronicity in that. So what synchronicity? I
Speaker 7: don't even know if I use that word, right, I
Speaker 7: don't know, y'all know what I mean. I know what
Speaker 7: you said, it's gonna be here today and this body's
Speaker 7: born day.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 7: That actually means nothing, you know what I mean, but
Speaker 7: it means everything. All right, Well, let's let's start to
Speaker 7: show off with some body.
Speaker 8: It's a birthday, dammit, and we got front page news
Speaker 8: testing figure out be joining us to the breakfast cloak
Speaker 8: of Morning Morning. Everybody's DJ n V charlemagnea God. We
Speaker 8: are the breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 8: Good morning, tis.
Speaker 10: Good morning, DJ and V Charlemagne the God and the
Speaker 10: breakfast club family.
Speaker 8: Before we jump right into it, I just want to
Speaker 8: tell people that flag football is being considered for the
Speaker 8: twenty twenty eight Olympic Games in Los Angeles, So they're
Speaker 8: gonna make flag football.
Speaker 5: They're thinking about making it an official sport.
Speaker 8: So I just want to tell people that, all right now,
Speaker 8: let's start right after what's going on with the Republicans.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 10: House Republicans wrapped up their candidate forum Tuesday night, where
Speaker 10: lawmakers heard from two current options to become Speaker of
Speaker 10: the House. As we know, Kevin McCarthy was OUs as
Speaker 10: Speaker of the House. So right now, the two candidates
Speaker 10: our Representative Jim Jordan and Steve Calise. The two men
Speaker 10: had an opportunity to pitch themselves to their party members
Speaker 10: ahead of a secret ballot vote that's scheduled for today,
Speaker 10: in an attempt to convince the Congress that they can
Speaker 10: gather two hundred and seventeen votes needed to win the gavel.
Speaker 10: It looks like neither one of them were able to
Speaker 10: convince folks that they had I guess the muscle to
Speaker 10: do it. So we'll see how that works out today. Now,
Speaker 10: former Speaker McCarthy, who as I mentioned, was moved from
Speaker 10: Speaker of the House. He has asked them not to
Speaker 10: nominate him as a Speaker, but some folks that they
Speaker 10: still will be voting for him, despite him even saying literally,
Speaker 10: do not nominate me because I know I won't win.
Speaker 10: But I guess a few folks you don't have a
Speaker 10: point to prove with that because they're still upset about
Speaker 10: McCarthy losing that position. When they asked what are the
Speaker 10: chances that the House would select a new speaker by Wednesday,
Speaker 10: Representative Thomas Macy said, I.
Speaker 3: Would say two percent.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 10: Meanwhile, House of Democrats did finish up their candidate forum
Speaker 10: last night in less than an hour, nominating their leader
Speaker 10: Hakeem Jeffries.
Speaker 7: Is whoever they put in that position going to have
Speaker 7: actual power? They is going to be another puppet life McCarthy.
Speaker 3: Was, Yeah, it just we're going to see. That's a
Speaker 3: great question.
Speaker 10: Charlemagne Matt Gates, who was really against McCarthy and you know,
Speaker 10: set that deal up in the beginning to oust him.
Speaker 10: He did say that whoever goes in this position, he
Speaker 10: will not ousk them. But you know, we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 10: It's still right now, they still don't have any type
Speaker 10: of consensus with that, So it just depends on what
Speaker 10: deal they make.
Speaker 7: I feel like McCarthy was on ninety day probation since
Speaker 7: the first time he got that gig. It's like he
Speaker 7: was like he was under a probationary period since he
Speaker 7: started that job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was set up to fail right out the gate.
Speaker 10: You know, that's why I took them over fifteen rounds,
Speaker 10: you know, just to nominate him. So we knew that
Speaker 10: was just a matter of time. A lot of folks
Speaker 10: say that surprise he lasts even this long. But you
Speaker 10: know again, right now no speaker of the House. They
Speaker 10: need to vote on things like, you know, sending resources
Speaker 10: to Israel. A lot of stuff that still needs having
Speaker 10: on table.
Speaker 3: Don't forget.
Speaker 10: We're still in the middle of a temporary government shut down,
Speaker 10: so that needs to have a new vote on.
Speaker 3: That needs to happen in November.
Speaker 10: So a lot of stuff that Congress needs to do,
Speaker 10: and Republics need to get it together since they are
Speaker 10: the majority.
Speaker 8: All right, well that is front page news. Thanky cheszl
Speaker 8: see in a couple of minutes. Everybody else, get it
Speaker 8: off your lines. Working this morning, they are don't drink five.

Speaker 7: Are you gonna come over?
Speaker 13: And he's just like, I think I need time to myself.
Speaker 7: I think you should respect that because he realized in
Speaker 7: that moment that he didn't want to be your emergency contact.
Speaker 5: He don't want the responsibility. He thought about it.
Speaker 7: He was like, damn, she got into a bad accident,
Speaker 7: and the first person she called then when she couldn't
Speaker 7: get in touch with her mama was me, I don't

Speaker 8: ask him for money, or he don't want to drive
Speaker 8: you to work every day too.

Speaker 13: for money. I never asked him for anything. Like we

Speaker 8: Now let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 17: What up tis going on?
Speaker 3: DJ and Charlemagne the God?
Speaker 8: He said, Now let's talk about the brother Hughes van Ellis,
Speaker 8: Uncle Red yep.
Speaker 10: Uncle Red, one of the last known survivors of the
Speaker 10: Tulsa Race massacre, has passed away.
Speaker 3: At one hundred and two. I know I live one
Speaker 3: hundred and two years.
Speaker 10: That's a blessing. His grand nephew, Ike Coward, said that
Speaker 10: he died waiting on justice. Now nineteen twenty one, Ellis
Speaker 10: was just a few months old when the Tulsa then
Speaker 10: thrived in Greenwood District known as Black Wall Street was
Speaker 10: destroyed by a white mob during a massacre that left
Speaker 10: an estimated three hundred black people dead and businesses.
Speaker 3: And homes burned to the ground.
Speaker 10: Ellis and his loved ones were forced to leave behind
Speaker 10: their home in a lifetime of opportunities. Mister Ellis said
Speaker 10: earlier this year that he lost one hundred and two
Speaker 10: years and he didn't want anybody else to lose that.
Speaker 10: Here's what he said on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 7: Uncle Red, do you have real hope and faith that
Speaker 7: the US government will ever compensate you for what happened?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Black was Street? Really, Yeah, you've been. You've been. You've
Speaker 5: been a lot way longer than me. So why do
Speaker 5: you believe in the white man? But I don't. I
Speaker 5: believe it's some good people and bad people.
Speaker 15: World War Two, he was in Burma also all Black Battalion,
Speaker 15: all shot down enemy aircraft. They were thought to be
Speaker 15: all killed, but most of his troops survived because they
Speaker 15: were fighting for their life. How many times are you bombed?
Speaker 5: Uncle Red?
Speaker 4: I bumbed Price Boom when I was five months old.
Speaker 4: Bomb when I was twenty something years old. I didn't
Speaker 4: think it ever happened in my life, but it did.
Speaker 4: I'm glad I survived all of that.
Speaker 7: I'm in a survival man salute to Uncle Reds lived
Speaker 7: a long, beautiful life. And it's a damn shame America
Speaker 7: never gave that brother any of the other social race
Speaker 7: massac and survivals justice. And it was a privilege and
Speaker 7: honor to have him in Queen by OLDA. Fletcher on
Speaker 7: Breakfast Club earlier this year. That was just a few
Speaker 7: months ago. Think you hear his brother still sitting here,
Speaker 7: still having faith in this government to do the right
Speaker 7: things right.
Speaker 5: So you know his uh, he said, his nephew, his grandchils,
Speaker 5: his nephew, his.
Speaker 7: Nephew is absolutely right, like you know, clearly he died,
Speaker 7: you know, still holding out for justice, that's right.
Speaker 17: You know.
Speaker 10: And Miss Fletcher and Miss Randall are still alive. Miss
Speaker 10: Fletcher's one hundred and nine, Miss Randall's one o eight.
Speaker 10: Those are the last two known survivors of the nineteen
Speaker 10: twenty one Toasts of Race mask And again you know
Speaker 10: they have been like you mentioned, all three of them
Speaker 10: have been fighting for reparations.
Speaker 6: For destruction, and this is you know, in case that
Speaker 6: people always you know, you can't dispute.
Speaker 3: This because they literally were alive at the time.
Speaker 10: You know, when you have the conversation about reparations, say, oh,
Speaker 10: you know what, those people have passed away, they're no
Speaker 10: longer here. No, they literally are still alive at the
Speaker 10: time and still fighting for reparations.
Speaker 3: So yeah, certainly I have a theory and.
Speaker 5: This is just my dirt road country logic kicking in.
Speaker 7: When I have a theory that God let those three
Speaker 7: toasa race, those tults, a race mask and survivors Queen
Speaker 7: by Olda Fletcher and Leslie Rando and Uncle Red be
Speaker 7: here all of this time to continue to give America
Speaker 7: the chance to do this opportunity to do what's right,
Speaker 7: you know what, I mean, to fix some of the karma,
Speaker 7: the negative karma that they put out the end of
Speaker 7: the world.
Speaker 5: And they still haven't figured it out. They still haven't
Speaker 5: done it.
Speaker 7: These people have been here for almost one hundred and
Speaker 7: ten years, that's right, and they still ain't.
Speaker 5: Done right by them.
Speaker 7: And that's why no good gonna come to this country
Speaker 7: until they do right by people like the survivors of
Speaker 7: the Tulsa Race Mass.
Speaker 5: That's right, well, thank you Tis.

Speaker 8: So now the second album is a sophomore album. Set
Speaker 8: it off Why it takes so long? The first thing
Speaker 8: people would say, it's been it's been a while.
Speaker 20: Why too so long? A lot of things you know,
Speaker 20: lost with my brother. It's the main reason I was
Speaker 20: gonna drop last year. I think around March I got
Speaker 20: out of a creative space, like after that four minute
Speaker 20: I had to sit down for a minute and like
Speaker 20: help my mama and pray and get get get myself together. Also,
Speaker 20: I just wanted to prefer the craft. I didn't want to.
Speaker 20: I want to make sure that I that I that
Speaker 20: I dropped in it and it counted, especially like coming
Speaker 20: out of the group and stuff like that. I wanted
Speaker 20: to make sure everything was a line. I didn't want
Speaker 20: no record sounding the same. I didn't want me sounding
Speaker 20: the same, just being hard on myself, scheeking myself on
Speaker 20: the music.
Speaker 7: Now with your brother Kuavo And we've seen you guys
Speaker 7: before with deal Ward Show, right, what was that initial
Speaker 7: call like when when they called you guys and asked
Speaker 7: you guys to do it.
Speaker 5: I was in Paris doing fashion week and they called
Speaker 5: and I wasn't like.
Speaker 20: I was like, I wasn't sure at the time because
Speaker 20: it was like, you know, it's running away from the reality,
Speaker 20: you know what I'm saying, you know.
Speaker 5: And I had talked to for Real. We were sitting
Speaker 5: at the.
Speaker 20: Show and I was telling him like, man, I don't
Speaker 20: know if I should do it because it just ain't
Speaker 20: gonna be right, and I feel like I'm scared it's
Speaker 20: gonna put me back in that moment, and he was like, no,
Speaker 20: you gotta do that for the world and for him
Speaker 20: like in y'all lazy man, y'all in the biggest group
Speaker 20: ever in hip hop, and also like he would want there, bro,
Speaker 20: He was like, you need you need that energy, you
Speaker 20: and your brother rocking their stage again, even if it's
Speaker 20: for the last time or whatever, like and this is
Speaker 20: that words like even just for the last time whatever.
Speaker 21: He don't really know what was going on, but it's
Speaker 21: gonna be a cleanser for both of y'all.
Speaker 17: What was it was?
Speaker 5: I swear it was.
Speaker 11: It was?
Speaker 17: It was?
Speaker 11: It was.
Speaker 20: It felt like at first, before I did it, I
Speaker 20: was still like because it reminds, you know, it's a reminder,
Speaker 20: and but as we did it, I just felt like
Speaker 20: I did feel good about it, like closing chapter on
Speaker 20: the right way, like a big way unity and like
Speaker 20: giving to the people.
Speaker 5: Also, what was it like before that?
Speaker 7: Because I know that everybody talks about I guess y'all
Speaker 7: got into something backstage somewhere. It was a video where
Speaker 7: everybody heard Cardi yelling like y'all both wrong? So what
Speaker 7: was it like before that moment? H before what before
Speaker 7: before y'all got on stage like oh no, we were together.
Speaker 20: Man, like payd swallow, Like yeah, bro, missing all of
Speaker 20: that out the window. You know what I'm saying. It's
Speaker 20: like family of everything. Let's do this right more than anything,
Speaker 20: because when you go into something with the wrong energy,
Speaker 20: you ain't gonna do it right.
Speaker 21: You know what I'm saying. Went into it with the
Speaker 21: right energy. And that's my brother.
Speaker 5: So what's your relationship now with Quabo? That's my brother.
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, we're good, bro.
Speaker 20: Just with each other in Paris, we'd be talking because
Speaker 20: we'd be going through little emotions and it don't be
Speaker 20: for the public. That's the thing, Like, when it's like this,
Speaker 20: it don't be. Everything ain't for the public to be
Speaker 20: king and it's all love. At the end of the day,
Speaker 20: we lost a brother.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 7: They want to see y'all cry on Instagram, Yes that
Speaker 7: they want, you know, not gonna get it for me.
Speaker 7: You think y'all ever make music together, not even just
Speaker 7: as Migos, but just as set.
Speaker 5: In Qubo, I think so.
Speaker 8: I think a lot of fans were hoping that there
Speaker 8: was maybe lost Takeoff Versus or lost Migos records and
Speaker 8: that they would get that one More Migos album, But
Speaker 8: that doesn't seem like that's gonna happen.
Speaker 16: Nah.
Speaker 20: They ain't fair to put that pressure on us either
Speaker 20: after losing brother Man. Like maybe you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 20: the future right now, I.
Speaker 5: Just don't see it.
Speaker 21: It's like hard me hearing our songs sometimes in the
Speaker 21: club bro and people I might like, got to.
Speaker 20: Smile my face. Take verse come on, like text me
Speaker 20: every single time. So it's like, I don't see what's
Speaker 20: doing it now.
Speaker 7: I can imagine because to us it's just a verse.
Speaker 7: But to you, it's like you probably think about the moment.
Speaker 20: They put me in that bed every time. I was
Speaker 20: just in Starts the other night and they're playing Freak
Speaker 20: No More. His verse come on, I'm like throwing money
Speaker 20: his verse come on.
Speaker 5: It's just like slowed me up real quick. So now,
Speaker 5: what's the difference between this album? Set it off Your
Speaker 5: Father for.
Speaker 20: Okay, Father Foe was like I feel like I was
Speaker 20: getting more personal about who I was, my story of
Speaker 20: going to jail, having kids young, the story of my wife,
Speaker 20: my little to my wife. I'm just saying with this album,
Speaker 20: it's more like the music wise, it's like more fun.
Speaker 5: I didn't. I did all the new producers, so.
Speaker 20: I didn't really self a metroside side, I ain't really
Speaker 20: work with all the producers I work with on this.
Speaker 5: It's like new producers I never worked.
Speaker 20: With because I didn't want to create the same sign
Speaker 20: because I feel like artists now, like as an artist
Speaker 20: sometimes like you just get stuck in your ways. And
Speaker 20: I let a lot of I worked with a an
Speaker 20: artists time, like I know a lot of people in
Speaker 20: our game. But the g my an I was fired,
Speaker 20: so she was able to bring me different producers that
Speaker 20: I never heard of and different sounds and give me
Speaker 20: critiquing me on the music, like nah, number one, SOIGN
Speaker 20: may sound like number ten for me.
Speaker 5: I was happy because like usually I ain't going for that.
Speaker 20: You know, I ain't let nobody to tell me nothing,
Speaker 20: but I understand, like change the game, change the sound
Speaker 20: be changing, and you just gotta change with it or
Speaker 20: you're gonna get left.
Speaker 8: Is it difficult with you doing music right because you
Speaker 8: are a husband, your father five But yet you're still
Speaker 8: in the club, so you know what people want to hear.
Speaker 5: You know people in the club ain't married. You know,
Speaker 5: the people might not have some kids.
Speaker 8: So when you do your music, do you say, well,
Speaker 8: I gotta put myself in near situation and take myself
Speaker 8: out from the husband and take myself out being the
Speaker 8: father fire because you didn't on this out you don
Speaker 8: knocked off a lot of a lot of chicks on
Speaker 8: this app.
Speaker 5: I'm all these women and you're married, man, because I
Speaker 5: got a real wife like that.
Speaker 20: She understands like we and I gotta be relatable and
Speaker 20: especially like our age, like the average person ain't married
Speaker 20: and like people sometimes.
Speaker 5: People I can see it, like you let your wife
Speaker 5: dress like this, and you let her.
Speaker 20: I'm very secure by mind, so so we ain't in
Speaker 20: no controling, like don't do this or I'm not telling
Speaker 20: her don't do a feature with that. Da da da da,
Speaker 20: because it's just like this, this, this, they're interrupt to love.
Speaker 20: I feel like when you go to doing that, because
Speaker 20: then it's like, damn, I want.
Speaker 5: To be this person.
Speaker 20: I gotta talk to all these people, all these fans,
Speaker 20: and they gotta relate to me, but they can't relate
Speaker 20: to me if I'm standing in one lane.
Speaker 5: So I'm just blessed to have a good wife.
Speaker 7: What about the people who those same kids that love
Speaker 7: your personal life. They love you and Cardi together as
Speaker 7: a couple, and they follow y'all on social media and
Speaker 7: see all of that, and they like, damn, they might
Speaker 7: want to hear that reflected in the music, because I
Speaker 7: know people got really excited when they heard y'all doing
Speaker 7: the album together yeah or EP or whatever it was.
Speaker 20: They can't get mad at me because I'm not gonna
Speaker 20: tell her life. You can't say shaking yeah, or like
Speaker 20: you're having a good time. Girls want to feel that
Speaker 20: at them, bar she be saying.
Speaker 8: But I guess you know too when Cardy talks about that.
Speaker 8: I guess we all automatically assume when she says she's
Speaker 8: shaking ass, shaking asks for a husband, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean, it's like she's doing it for set. But
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, for you When I heard
Speaker 8: I knock it off them like, oh, he's putting his
Speaker 8: mind frame on somebody that's in the club, not himself.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got to bro because it's like it's more
Speaker 5: up bros doing that.
Speaker 20: Then there's people that's man facts, These are facts, and
Speaker 20: these are facts. So I just still gotta be relatable
Speaker 20: to him. They gotta still feel like a shit ain't
Speaker 20: on the like shit I got man, we don't even
Speaker 20: understand him no more, and then it's the worst.
Speaker 5: Then it's no coming back from that. We got more
Speaker 5: with Offset. When we come back, don't move. It's the
Speaker 5: Breakfast Club.
Speaker 8: Good morning Wanning everybody, It's DJ n V. Charlamage, the
Speaker 8: guy we are the Breakfast Club was too kicking it
Speaker 8: with Offset.
Speaker 5: His album is out this Friday. Charlamagne.
Speaker 7: For the first song on the album, you said you
Speaker 7: knew you was the one since you left the group?
Speaker 7: I think that was the other line.
Speaker 5: What did that line mean?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 5: How you know about that bar? Like you know, I
Speaker 5: went through some things I can't really speak on.
Speaker 20: I stepped out of the BOS and like I had
Speaker 20: to get my together on the business side of things,
Speaker 20: and like after that.
Speaker 21: The freedom and the being able to be in control
Speaker 21: of my creative and being able to.
Speaker 20: Do that was like now I can show you who
Speaker 20: I am if you notice, Like now people kind of
Speaker 20: see like I got a personality.
Speaker 5: I feel like it was kind of like.
Speaker 20: Bottled in when everything was always one because it wasn't
Speaker 20: really about me, it was about us.
Speaker 5: This album is about me. How important was hip hop
Speaker 5: rolling up to you because I know you got roots
Speaker 5: in New York.
Speaker 8: I know you got roots in the land. I know
Speaker 8: you got roots a little bit of everywhere. I'd be
Speaker 8: seeing set with people up be like, how do you
Speaker 8: know him?
Speaker 17: Man?
Speaker 8: Like, so you know, talk about your roots and what
Speaker 8: hip hop means to you, because you sample a lot
Speaker 8: of that on this album.
Speaker 20: Hip hop man mean to me, like man, growing up
Speaker 20: is like the super heroes. You know what I'm saying
Speaker 20: to me because I felt like it was so out
Speaker 20: of reach. And also I felt like they was like
Speaker 20: saying the world with the music and like, you know,
Speaker 20: seeing like cash Money master P. Because I'm from the
Speaker 20: South hundred to thought like like outcasts. You know, we
Speaker 20: from Atlanta, so we might not ain't listen to it.
Speaker 20: I might ain't get on jay Z Towns in high school.
Speaker 20: You fe what I'm saying, I might ain't knowing. I'm
Speaker 20: through middle school.
Speaker 5: I knew Gua.
Speaker 20: I knew Gucca and I knew Jzy, I knew the
Speaker 20: undred two thousand, A New Future. It's like our neighborhood heroes.
Speaker 20: And like me, I feel like in general, with music,
Speaker 20: you gotta know your roots and pay respect to it too,
Speaker 20: Like I watched the James Browns. I'd be watching like
Speaker 20: how they would dress or how they stay set would be.
Speaker 20: Or sometimes I go watch a rock and roll like
Speaker 20: Martley coul or something, I go watch them stay stay
Speaker 20: set to get it like a like a like an
Speaker 20: idea even on stage and like cause I.
Speaker 5: Feel like you, it always rotate, but you could just
Speaker 5: do it better in a better way.
Speaker 7: But one of the things you say throughout the album
Speaker 7: is you keep referencing blame it on set. That's a
Speaker 7: dope record too, by the way, to blame it on
Speaker 7: set record. What are some of the things you think
Speaker 7: folks blames you.
Speaker 20: No, it's not like the people blame me for It's
Speaker 20: like it's like it's like me talking to myself almost,
Speaker 20: like everything you went through is because of you. It's
Speaker 20: like taking responsibility of everything you went through.
Speaker 5: It's because of you.
Speaker 21: Like anytime anything happens, it's on you.
Speaker 5: That's all it was.
Speaker 21: It wasn't like a specific like y'all blaming me.
Speaker 5: No, it was just like being a man, being a man.
Speaker 21: Yeah, accountability, like accountability for all actions.
Speaker 8: People were mad at you a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 8: because you did that interview what's the name, Bobby?
Speaker 5: I felt like there was.
Speaker 8: That you even gave her an opportunity to interview you,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. You know people were saying, well,
Speaker 8: why would you give that girl an opportunity and not
Speaker 8: somebody from the culture reached out. I did my research
Speaker 8: and I was like, I'm over to do it because
Speaker 8: you know, I don't like doing interviews at all. I
Speaker 8: was like, I'm over to doing it. I'm on the way,
Speaker 8: and I feel like it was kind of comical, like
Speaker 8: it's kind of funny. It's kind of funny to me.
Speaker 8: It wasn't like I wasn't taking that offensive. Just got
Speaker 8: to be on your toes when you don't on it.
Speaker 8: You know, she needed to be ye, yeah, she was.
Speaker 5: She needed that, you know what I'm saying. And also like,
Speaker 5: I'm doing this for the brothers.
Speaker 20: You ain't gonna catch me slipping on this show and
Speaker 20: be down talk to me and you like you're just
Speaker 20: coming up off to the top.
Speaker 5: It's all love though, but she she cool.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 5: I feel like a lot of people did take a
Speaker 5: lot of comedy out of it. It was it was
Speaker 5: supposed to be funny. Man. You told her she needed
Speaker 5: some season.
Speaker 21: Yeah, you do's a little good season.
Speaker 20: But it's cool though. Man, it ain't no issues or nothing.
Speaker 20: But I feel like a lot of people's matter her
Speaker 20: like but that's how she did the interviews. I think
Speaker 20: I brought it to our world more. It's like a
Speaker 20: lot of people like, why does she It was kind
Speaker 20: of taking it as like she was being disproved, but
Speaker 20: she wasn't. She just just I think that's the way
Speaker 20: she got on.
Speaker 5: You know, I hear I hear you channel a lot
Speaker 5: in this out. Might hear a lot of Project Pack? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Were you? Were you listening to a lot of Pack

Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I can look to it again.

Speaker 20: a lot of like I got melodies on here, of course,
Speaker 20: but like.
Speaker 7: Your voice don't need it. You got to get to
Speaker 7: the rapping, but your voice so distinct you don't need

Speaker 7: that's hard.
Speaker 5: It's hard. We got the video we shot that tire
Speaker 5: line to y'all. Can't wit to y'all see that art?
Speaker 5: What does success look like for all?
Speaker 20: Stuh the music connected to the people, Like I'm not
Speaker 20: you know how we came in the game. Like I
Speaker 20: hate how everything is clocked now, like the number first dad,
Speaker 20: because then it gives people of pins already immediately they
Speaker 20: ain't even chatting to us. So me, I'm just trying
Speaker 20: to connect musically with these people. Like you said identify offset.
Speaker 20: It sounds like like I didn't reflair. That was like,
Speaker 20: oh bro, got that, Like it's proven like and showing
Speaker 20: my creativity like see my album cover falling from the
Speaker 20: sky outside down. But I'm still on top. It's like
Speaker 20: being able to express the art. It's not numbers for
Speaker 20: me because I come from see my My number one
Speaker 20: record was number sixty and forty twenty and ten ten
Speaker 20: number one, So I know like working the record. I
Speaker 20: feel like people don't be working records no more. The
Speaker 20: festivals in the big places, they checking your numbers, they
Speaker 20: checking you with your song that don't be able.
Speaker 5: I learned that at Like I think I learned that.
Speaker 21: At twenty sixteen, I forgot who the artist was. They
Speaker 21: was going after us, and I'm like, I know we.
Speaker 5: Out of than that I noticed. But the streaming numbers,
Speaker 5: it was like a radio show too.
Speaker 21: I'm saying, boy, they on good boy, they on top fifteen,
Speaker 21: y'all like number forty right now.
Speaker 20: And then they made me understand the significant point of it.
Speaker 20: So it's some people that still watch. And I just
Speaker 20: feel like artists ain't roppers, ain't putting on no show. Bro,
Speaker 20: You're just get in the bag and like people try
Speaker 20: to pay in the bad like that, just like you
Speaker 20: gotta put on a show.
Speaker 5: You're gonna dance and everything. Yeah, you think it's like
Speaker 5: not cool cool. People like to be entertainment than anything, right,
Speaker 5: all right, what you want to hear of that? What
Speaker 5: you wanna play? But it worth it, man, Let's get
Speaker 5: it that bag Man.
Speaker 8: Featuring Don Tolliver and we appreciate you joining us. The
Speaker 8: albums out this Friday. Set it off, mister Breakfast Morning Morning.
Speaker 8: Everybody is DJ NV Charlomagne the God. We are the
Speaker 8: Breakfast Club. There's been a lot going on. Charlamagne, like
Speaker 8: what I don't say, Like what man, there's been a
Speaker 8: million and one accusations that I was involved with scamming people.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, No, I'm being serious. So so let
Speaker 5: me explain some things.
Speaker 8: I'm not My attorneys don't want me to speak, but
Speaker 8: I think there's things that I need to clear up
Speaker 8: a little bit.
Speaker 5: I think you should listen to your attorneys. Why don't like?
Speaker 5: Can people like to listen? If your attorneys told you,
Speaker 5: don't think nothing, why you're talking? Listen?
Speaker 8: So, Caesar and myself did seminars. Now, the reason I
Speaker 8: did these seminars is because I wanted to uplift my community.
Speaker 8: I wanted to teach my community about real estate things
Speaker 8: that I didn't know when I was first buying my
Speaker 8: first home. I wanted to teach our community about investing
Speaker 8: in generational wealth. So I did these seminars and brought
Speaker 8: industry professionals to all these seminars, whether it was real
Speaker 8: estate agents from different markets, contractors, conventional lenders, hard money lenders.
Speaker 8: I even brought auction dot Com to actually show people
Speaker 8: how to purchase houses online.
Speaker 5: That's what I wanted to do for my people.
Speaker 11: That was it.
Speaker 8: Now, Caesar, if he took money, I wasn't privy to it,
Speaker 8: nor did I even know. But I do understand how
Speaker 8: people feel if they did give him money, because I
Speaker 8: gave him a lot of money. Jesus that I didn't
Speaker 8: see a dollar of return. I didn't see a quarter,
Speaker 8: a nickel, nothing. I didn't see any return, And I
Speaker 8: know how that feels. But for anybody to say I
Speaker 8: was involved, that's totally not true. I would never. I've
Speaker 8: been on this radio close. I've been on radio close
Speaker 8: to thirty years, and never in my thirty years time
Speaker 8: did I do nothing but try to uplift people and
Speaker 8: show people a different way through the business mind. And
Speaker 8: I would never take a dollar from somebody.
Speaker 7: I could be wrong, but I didn't see nobody accusing
Speaker 7: you of taking money. I just saw them say that
Speaker 7: they met Caesar because they heard you talking about Caesar.
Speaker 5: If they basically said I was privy to it, and
Speaker 5: that wasn't true.
Speaker 7: From what I read in actual court papers, I didn't
Speaker 7: see that they said that. All these people are saying
Speaker 7: that they met Caesar because of you, right, and they're
Speaker 7: saying that somebody accusing you of taking no money.
Speaker 8: To the point where, if you read the court documents,
Speaker 8: Caesar wrote affidavit that says DJ mvy Rashaan Casey had
Speaker 8: no knowledge of the investing people's money. He wasn't there,
Speaker 8: he wasn't part of those conversations. He wasn't even nowhere
Speaker 8: in those meetings. And those are documents.
Speaker 5: That's out there. So if we're going to talk about truth,
Speaker 5: let's talk about the truth. And those are the documents
Speaker 5: out there.
Speaker 7: And I know I can't talk about the truth yet
Speaker 7: because your lawyers don't want you talking at all. So
Speaker 7: the smart thing to do is, I understand you want
Speaker 7: to say something to the listeners and I and I'm
Speaker 7: sure the listeners appreciate it. Well, man, just wait until
Speaker 7: all the dust settles, and when all the dust settles,
Speaker 7: then we can get on this radio and have a
Speaker 7: real conversation. Until then, I just I don't, you know,
Speaker 7: I don't think you should be saying any of this,
Speaker 7: but you know that's just me.
Speaker 5: Look at you. You can't even help yourself. What else
Speaker 5: you want to say?
Speaker 17: Nothing?
Speaker 5: Nothing? Okay, nothing, all right?
Speaker 7: But when it doest settles, you can have a real
Speaker 7: conversation with It's difficult because the stuff that you're hearing,
Speaker 7: it's like that's totally not true like it's not true,
Speaker 7: like that's fake news stories.
Speaker 5: That should be enough. You know what the truth is.
Speaker 5: If you know what the truth is, don't worry about
Speaker 5: it because the truth don't need no defense. It just
Speaker 5: needs the truth. Don't need no defense, just witnesses. That's it,
Speaker 5: all right, all right?
Speaker 7: Well, Hope, And by the way, you look very suspicious
Speaker 7: because you don't have your just formnting right now, so
Speaker 7: it's like the grades are coming in right here in
Speaker 7: the back and you need a little headcut. So it
Speaker 7: just makes you look like.
Speaker 8: I just want to say this on cloth, I've never
Speaker 8: stole anything from anybody, and I'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 5: What you know what rhymes with what what? But and
Speaker 5: from what I was told, you sused to steal a
Speaker 5: lot of butt back in, I can't. I'm trying to
Speaker 5: be serious here and you're playing.
Speaker 8: Around, good old big old queen from Queens. When we
Speaker 8: come back, we got you your room and report. That's

Speaker 8: a great show. I love this show. It's called it
Speaker 8: Is What It Is. And during It Is What It Is,
Speaker 8: sometimes they ask each other questions, and somebody emailed they
Speaker 8: wanted to ask Mask a question about where was he
Speaker 8: when Biggie was murdered?
Speaker 5: And what was his first thought?
Speaker 11: And what did he want to do the night that
Speaker 11: Biggie Small died? Where were you and what did you
Speaker 11: do in the aftermath? Right after Biggie Small died?
Speaker 5: What people here?
Speaker 16: That sounded like a ked question. I was actually in
Speaker 16: a hotel with a young lady.
Speaker 5: And when you heard this information, what was your next actions?
Speaker 16: I actually was trapped in the hotel.
Speaker 5: Now, I don't want to ask the question, what do
Speaker 5: you mean trapped?
Speaker 16: It was about seventy or sol bloods in the hallway.
Speaker 16: I couldn't even leave my room.
Speaker 11: Why would it be so many bloods in your hallway
Speaker 11: after Biggie's Small stock.
Speaker 16: After Big I killed, They was probably looking for more
Speaker 16: bad boy artists. And I couldn't even lay the room
Speaker 16: to Jane Deale, the one at the officer had to
Speaker 16: come get me. I was lefting in la and that
Speaker 16: and from that day. I always said, you know, I'm
Speaker 16: out of here.
Speaker 7: Damn, that's the story you never heard. You heard so
Speaker 7: many stories from that night. I never heard that one.
Speaker 5: There, No, never at all. Now.
Speaker 8: Also they talk about the song old Boy, which was
Speaker 8: a camera record. Now a fun fact, when I was
Speaker 8: doing my album back then, we got offered that record.
Speaker 8: It's a true story. When I was signed the Desert Storm. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and the money that Cameron wanted for me to purchase
Speaker 8: the record in the production at the time. Of course
Speaker 8: we didn't have huge budgets, so we couldn't take it.
Speaker 8: But I always thought the record was a hit, and
Speaker 8: it turned out to be a hit. But this is
Speaker 8: him talking about the record and why just Blaze and
Speaker 8: Jay we're mad about it.
Speaker 11: Just give you a great example of Marshawn Lynch and
Speaker 11: Russell Wilson and me and just Blade's relationship. I think
Speaker 11: it's to say the Old Boy beat is sitting on
Speaker 11: in the studio for two months, nobody uses it. Juels
Speaker 11: convinced me to steal the song. We do the song.
Speaker 5: After we put it out, he comes up to me.
Speaker 11: It's like, Cam, We're gonna absolutely get killed on the
Speaker 11: publisher and we didn't get there the sample before we
Speaker 11: put it out.
Speaker 5: And I'm like a whatever man. We have been sitting
Speaker 5: there for two months.
Speaker 11: By the way, Jay was mad at me behind that
Speaker 11: because he didn't understand why I gave you that beat
Speaker 11: and I didn't give him the beat.
Speaker 5: I say, Yo, just it is a hit. I get that. Cam.
Speaker 11: But if we would have did things correctly and then
Speaker 11: went back and double back, we could a card troopered
Speaker 11: what we really were gonna make.

Speaker 7: Okay, okay, I have a book in print, Black Privilege
Speaker 7: Publishing with Shaman the Shoes to feel free to purchase
Speaker 7: to meet a Mallory state of emergency.
Speaker 5: And they need to copax Shallow Waters. Oh we got
Speaker 5: throws again. I got a book too. I got a
Speaker 5: book to hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
Speaker 5: hold on, come back to the microphone.
Speaker 7: See to meet a Mallory stave emergency, I need a
Speaker 7: Kopex Shallow Waters book. Look, those are the first. If
Speaker 7: you got a book, real life, real love. Okay, suit
Speaker 7: to Doug Melville. In Visible General's out November seven, if
Speaker 7: you can pre order that.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 7: I'm saying all that to let you know how much
Speaker 7: I love books. Okay, this is what I'm let me
Speaker 7: share what I'm reading right now. Hold on you see
Speaker 7: Don Miguel Ruiz's new book.
Speaker 5: Okay, just finished this, Rich Paul, Lucky me. I'm never
Speaker 5: not reading. I love reading.
Speaker 7: My wife loves reading and it's infectious. My kids love reading.
Speaker 7: I have three bookshelves in my house. I'm telling you
Speaker 7: all this to paint the picture of how much I
Speaker 7: love books, because I want you to know how it
Speaker 7: pains me to see all these books and authors being
Speaker 7: banned all around the country. I'm from South Carolina, Okay,
Speaker 7: where the first anti literacy laws were passed. It was
Speaker 7: prohibited to teach slaves to read and write. So when
Speaker 7: you see me having the love for books that I do,
Speaker 7: when you see me so deep in the book business,
Speaker 7: understand it's personal. So stories like what's happening at the
Speaker 7: Huntsfield Madison County Public Library really grind my gear. See,
Speaker 7: they bann in books. They have a list of potentially
Speaker 7: inappropriate titles. Now, I've never agreed with this kind of
Speaker 7: censorship because everything is subjective. Do you know that Judy
Speaker 7: Bloom is one of the most banned authors of the
Speaker 7: twentieth century? Judy Bloom?
Speaker 5: Are you there? Goddess me? Margaret blubba Iggy's House.
Speaker 7: Banned because some culturally clueless fool labeled her potentially dangerous.
Speaker 7: I don't get it, don't understand it, just like I
Speaker 7: don't understand what the Huntsville Madison County Public Library is doing.
Speaker 7: See they added a children's picture book titled Read Me
Speaker 7: a Story Stella to a list of potentially inappropriate titles. Now,
Speaker 7: what could be in this picture book that's potentially dangerous.
Speaker 7: Is it humans writing on a penis shaped horse? De
Speaker 7: writing derby?
Speaker 5: If you will?
Speaker 7: Is it a little sexy red riding hood taking big
Speaker 7: bad wolves to pound Town? Did Jack and Jill go
Speaker 7: up to hill to fetch Somley and purpose? That's what
Speaker 7: could be in this children's book that is potentially dangerous.
Speaker 7: Let's go to the news report.
Speaker 12: Read Me a Story Stella, a children's book by author
Speaker 12: Marie Louise Gay, appeared in a public library keyword search
Speaker 12: list of potentially inappropriate material. It's because of the author's
Speaker 12: last name Gay. This prompted a backlash against the library,
Speaker 12: which insists it was a mistake and an exclusive Arkan
Speaker 12: McCoy's book with executive director Cindy Hewitt.
Speaker 17: Read Me a Story Stella, which seems to be what
Speaker 17: everybody's focused on, was a book that was just on
Speaker 17: a keyword search list. It has never been banned, moved
Speaker 17: or touch in the library. Is still sitting where it's
Speaker 17: supposed to do. So. We were examining our collection to
Speaker 17: see if our materials were in age appropriate categories. The
Speaker 17: communication was done at the managerial level, was passed down
Speaker 17: through staff and in that conversation for managers to staff
Speaker 17: is where communication broke down and the intent and the
Speaker 17: purpose was misrepresented.
Speaker 5: That was Fox fifty four, by the way.
Speaker 7: So the answer to watching the book that is potentially
Speaker 7: dangerous is nothing. The book is about the past siblings
Speaker 7: reading together and building a dog out. The reason the
Speaker 7: book was lifted potentially dangerous was because of.
Speaker 5: The author's last name, Marie Louise Gay.
Speaker 7: Yes, it was added to the list of potentially dangerous
Speaker 7: books because the author's last.
Speaker 5: Name was Gay. Okay, that's it, nothing more, nothing less.
Speaker 7: Can we unpack this if the author's last name being
Speaker 7: gay is considered potentially dangerous? And I know this library
Speaker 7: on carried the memoir of Dick Buckets. Okay, this former
Speaker 7: New England patriot Dick felt have a memoir. I know
Speaker 7: that would be considered potentially dangerous.
Speaker 5: What about a man the love? A man the love
Speaker 5: will never have a book in this library? Okay. Banning
Speaker 5: books is never acceptable.
Speaker 7: We need more conversations now, We need folks reading about
Speaker 7: different ideologies that individuals have. Stephen Schuboski says banning books
Speaker 7: gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our
Speaker 7: ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind
Speaker 7: when we need sight, and I agree not to mention.
Speaker 7: If a public school were to remove every book that
Speaker 7: contains one word deemed objectional objectionable to some random person,
Speaker 7: then there would be.
Speaker 5: No books at all in our public libraries if you
Speaker 5: ask me.
Speaker 7: They didn't ban this book because the word gay is
Speaker 7: considered sexually inappropriate. They banned this book because this woman
Speaker 7: is an author. Her last name is Gay. And I
Speaker 7: believe every single public library in a red state probably
Speaker 7: has all of the great Roxanne Gay's work band dropping
Speaker 7: the cloth bombs for Roxanne Gay.
Speaker 5: All right, this isn't.
Speaker 7: About sexuality as much as it's about banning one of
Speaker 7: the greatest authors, professors social comment as we got on
Speaker 7: this third Rock from the Sun. Don't say gay takes
Speaker 7: on a whole other meaning in public libraries, all right.
Speaker 7: They don't want you reading bad feminists in Roxanne Gay's
Speaker 7: other works. Okay, look, man, read all the band books
Speaker 7: you can. All right, Let your children read all the
Speaker 7: band books you can. My daddy used to say, if
Speaker 7: you want to hide something from a black person, put
Speaker 7: it in a book. We've bend deified that stereotype that
Speaker 7: black people don't read, and now that they know we
Speaker 7: actually read, they just want to hide the books. So
Speaker 7: go read all the band books you can. And remember
Speaker 7: this quote from Oscar Wilde. The books that the world
Speaker 7: calls immoral are the books that show the world its
Speaker 7: own shame. The books that tell the truth of America,
Speaker 7: that hold Emerata America and shows America.
Speaker 5: What it needs to be embarrassed about.
Speaker 7: Please give this Huntsville Madison County Public Library in Huntsville, Alabama.
Speaker 5: The biggest e huh.
Speaker 8: M, all right, well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Yes, Indeed,
Speaker 8: when we come back on peace B E T B T,
Speaker 8: we see you later. Everybody else. Uh, Sonya will be
Speaker 8: joining us. She has a new book called Fashion Killer.
Speaker 8: Do you know Sonya's last name? I don't want to
Speaker 8: mess with Christa Murphy. Huh, Sonia Christiana Murphy, Christna Murphy.
Speaker 5: Yes, joined us and.
Speaker 7: Sonya used to host the TV show together back in
Speaker 7: the day on MTV called Hip Hop POV. It was me, Sonya,
Speaker 7: Boo Acon's brother Boo, Amanda Seals, Debbie Brown. I think
Speaker 7: that's it. That's it, oh me, Yeah, it was five
Speaker 7: of us. I know, I think like it was five
Speaker 7: of us. Who was the fifth person me Doug.
Speaker 8: Yes, well, she has a new book out today called
Speaker 8: Fashion Killer, and we're going to talk to her when
Speaker 8: we come back, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5: Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 11: Morning.
Speaker 8: Everybody is DJ n V Charlamagne to God. We are
Speaker 8: the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the.
Speaker 7: Building, Sonia Christiana Murphy sow me a Christian Murphy didn't
Speaker 7: want you to attend.
Speaker 8: I've been practicing that. I've been practicing for the last
Speaker 8: five minutes. I was gonna get it right.
Speaker 6: I wasn't sure was going to do it right. But
Speaker 6: both of you in Unison today, thank you.
Speaker 5: You have a book out right now called Fashion Killer.
Speaker 7: And before we get to the book, you know Sonya
Speaker 7: is a world renowned hip hop journalist.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, and Fashion Killa is my first book. Wowrat,
Speaker 6: so order it everywhere. This is the first anthology about
Speaker 6: hip hop and high fashion, and obviously it comes out
Speaker 6: on Hip Hop fifty.
Speaker 5: Why a book about fashion?
Speaker 6: It's so interesting. The genesis was it started as an
Speaker 6: article in Double XL and as I was doing the research,
Speaker 6: I saw that there are no books about this and
Speaker 6: one thing about the lit space and you know the
Speaker 6: shars that a lot of times hip hop stories just
Speaker 6: aren't elevated in the same way other genres are rock music,
Speaker 6: pop music. Right, it's still sort of seen as either
Speaker 6: knee or some kind of underground to be honest with you.
Speaker 6: So to me, knowing hip hop fifty was coming up,
Speaker 6: this is such a great opportunity to write really that
Speaker 6: definitive story, that fifty year retrospective. And I'm one of
Speaker 6: those people. If I don't see it in the marketplace,
Speaker 6: well I might as well just do it myself.
Speaker 5: That was going to ask, you know what do you
Speaker 5: break down in the book?
Speaker 8: Because you know when you go sometimes you go to
Speaker 8: Vegas and you go to Planet Hollywood, right, you see
Speaker 8: all these rock and roll idols on the wall and
Speaker 8: you see their guitar and you see their shirt and
Speaker 8: you see there whatever, or you see some pop stars.
Speaker 8: I don't really see that that much for hip hop,
Speaker 8: which is concerned and we do have a lot of
Speaker 8: things that is pretty big, but you know, whether we're
Speaker 8: talking about uh, you know, but that's starch of the run.
Speaker 6: Dmc adidas imagine.
Speaker 8: Like Cameron's Jacksody in blue or Cameron's pink fur.
Speaker 5: You know things like that that really step outside.
Speaker 6: Of the Smithsonian, right, the Cameron pink fur. But I
Speaker 6: think Envy you make such a good point. It is
Speaker 6: still this idea. Although hip hop is fifty, it's still
Speaker 6: not viewed kind of through that prestige lens, right.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean you have the Smithsonian, you have these like
Speaker 6: little moments here and there, but this idea that it
Speaker 6: should be elevated and really treated with the gravitas that deserves.
Speaker 6: I think those are the opportunities. And for me, that's
Speaker 6: I just didn't see that in the.
Speaker 7: Lit space because it's not I don't think hip hop
Speaker 7: has looked at through the lens of art, and it
Speaker 7: should be like everyone Salm Remy was up here and
Speaker 7: he had these big paintings of like you know, some
Speaker 7: of our favorite hip hop artists. When you see it
Speaker 7: as a painting, you're like, oh, you look at it
Speaker 7: different on when they do the book of Whole exhibit
Speaker 7: in Brooklyn, you're like, oh, like, we're not looking at
Speaker 7: it through the.
Speaker 5: Lens of art.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And you know for me, just having a hardcover book out,
Speaker 6: you open it and yeah, of course there's like forty
Speaker 6: great photos of like Biggie and Cam and Cardi B
Speaker 6: and all these people. But there's also history, their sociology,
Speaker 6: their's psychology. It's so much more layer than just a
Speaker 6: rapper war dope outfit. And I think a lot of
Speaker 6: times people see it through that cursory lens, and it's
Speaker 6: much more nuanced than that.
Speaker 7: Break down This coverle because I hit you when I
Speaker 7: told you this cover is fantastic fire, but not with
Speaker 7: it like break down that coverle.
Speaker 6: So it's so funny. That cover was a little bit
Speaker 6: there were some back and forth, a little arguments with
Speaker 6: some people. So basically fashion Killa is obviously a nod
Speaker 6: to the Asap Rocky song where he named checks like
Speaker 6: twenty seven brands, right, he was saying brands that nobody
Speaker 6: had heard of, and I wanted something that really made
Speaker 6: it stand out in the marketplace with the cover. If
Speaker 6: you look at again, a lot of hip hop books,
Speaker 6: it's like a guy with a big chain, something very
Speaker 6: sort of stereotypical or kind of looks cheap if I'm
Speaker 6: going to be honest, and for me, I wanted it
Speaker 6: to look lux I want to look sexy. Even if
Speaker 6: you don't read one page, it's gonna look good on
Speaker 6: your coffee table, it looks great and selfies. So I
Speaker 6: wanted this to be a book. It's very much a
Speaker 6: nod to McQueen, obviously with the skull, but again to
Speaker 6: differentiate it, to show that this is something different, it's special,
Speaker 6: and almost treat it like a luxury product, right. I
Speaker 6: manags like walking down the street having a really sexy book.
Speaker 6: That's kind of an accessory, right. And it's also a
Speaker 6: great conversation starter too.
Speaker 5: You break down how, especially in hip hop, how we
Speaker 5: make some of these fashion brands cool.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, you know, it's funny. One of the chapters is
Speaker 6: called nineteen ninety one and a lot of people don't
Speaker 6: realize car Looger did a whole hip hop themed runway
Speaker 6: show back in ninety one, and it was, you know,
Speaker 6: big chains and name plates and baseball cap to the side. Now,
Speaker 6: of course rappers and hip hop weren't given homage, right,
Speaker 6: But the idea that someone like Carl lager fell for
Speaker 6: Chanelle was doing it all the way back then. The
Speaker 6: influence has always been there. Now, the thing is the relationship.
Speaker 6: I think very much starred as the outsider, so hip
Speaker 6: hop not being accepted but also not being able to
Speaker 6: afford it. You got to think back to someone like
Speaker 6: Dapper Dan, He's like, the only people who could afford
Speaker 6: my stuff were drug dealers and athletes. Only then when
Speaker 6: Ell and Eric b rock him, people like that Caine,
Speaker 6: when they were able to afford it, then they become
Speaker 6: the consumer. We go into the nineties, which is my
Speaker 6: personal favorite era, where we start to see Sean John
Speaker 6: and Rock Aware and all of these rapper led brands, right,
Speaker 6: and then now I think we're in an age of collaboration.
Speaker 6: So you have Pharrell over at Louis Vuitton. You see
Speaker 6: artists like Asap, Rocky or Travis Scott very much being
Speaker 6: partners with these brands. But you know, as we saw
Speaker 6: with Dapper Dan, I mean his sort of full circle
Speaker 6: moment with Gucci happened after they bit his style, right,
Speaker 6: and only after Twitter came and really rallied around him
Speaker 6: was he able to have this incredible comeback. I would
Speaker 6: hope it doesn't take outrage and those kind of scandals
Speaker 6: for hip hop to truly have a seat at the table,
Speaker 6: whether it be decision making, design or just being represented
Speaker 6: in fashion.
Speaker 7: Why do you think it's so difficult for black brands
Speaker 7: to succeed and have longevity.
Speaker 6: It's hard. I think when we talk about rapper led brands, first,
Speaker 6: a lot of it is tied to the artists. So
Speaker 6: when the artist isn't hot, you don't want to wear
Speaker 6: their clothes no more. Right, and so many of those brands.
Speaker 6: I mean, are you wearing Marshall Mathers clothing right now?
Speaker 5: Maybe?
Speaker 6: I mean I'm from Michigan, so maybe we always wear it.
Speaker 6: You know, there was woo wear. Remember Busta had a
Speaker 6: line dmxattle. There was the time everyone had a line
Speaker 6: and it was get a record deal, have one hit record,
Speaker 6: to have one right. A few of them, Sean John
Speaker 6: Rock aware they kind of elevated where they were making
Speaker 6: hundreds of millions of dollars. But I think a lot
Speaker 6: of it is you can't tie something to something as
Speaker 6: seasonal as an artist trend, because when you're not the
Speaker 6: flavor of the moment, it happens to everyone. No one
Speaker 6: wants to wear your clothes. I think the other part
Speaker 6: is just for brands, it's really expensive. A lot of
Speaker 6: people ask me, why don't think sven grappers want to
Speaker 6: have their own brands? Now, do you want to spend
Speaker 6: your own money to have, you know, focus on manufacturing
Speaker 6: and supply and all of these things distribution. It's a
Speaker 6: similar to the music business. There's a reason everyone's still
Speaker 6: signs to the majors. It's better to spend someone else's money.
Speaker 8: I we got more with Sonya Christia Murthy. When we
Speaker 8: come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Good morning everybody.
Speaker 8: It's j Envy Charlamagne the guy we ought to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 8: We're still kicking in with Sonya Christna Murthy. She is
Speaker 8: the author of Fashion Killer, a book that's pretty much
Speaker 8: based on the fashion of the hip hop indushy what.
Speaker 5: Came first for you to love a fashion and love
Speaker 5: a hip hop?
Speaker 17: Oh?
Speaker 6: Love hip hop? But so I grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
Speaker 6: which outside of Derek Jeter, nobody else knows where that's
Speaker 6: from because that's where he's from. And you got to remember,
Speaker 6: we didn't have hip hop radio, we didn't have you know,
Speaker 6: concerts coming through like that. So so much of my
Speaker 6: relationship was through things like music videos, magazines like Vibe
Speaker 6: and The Sores and Blaze. So the music and the
Speaker 6: visuals really went hand in hand. At a very early age.
Speaker 7: For me, what about Little Kim because you broke down
Speaker 7: her fascist Why do you guess such a fashion?
Speaker 6: I come, I mean little Kim from day one? Who
Speaker 6: can forget that famous poster of hardcore. I don't know
Speaker 6: if you guys remember, but I think a lot of
Speaker 6: boys became men that you and they saw that the wall. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's actually currently on his wall.
Speaker 5: The story. I got a homeboy who was high off
Speaker 5: hash and.
Speaker 6: He said, this is in South Carolina, Yes, okay.
Speaker 5: And he said that Little Kim climbed off out of
Speaker 5: that post.
Speaker 6: And this isn't a magic guy. What was he trying
Speaker 6: to see?
Speaker 5: Like the But why do you think? She said? A fashion?
Speaker 6: But yeah, so Little Kim very early on, she was
Speaker 6: very fearless. And this was a woman who embraced her sexuality,
Speaker 6: her body at a time that it still wasn't acceptable.
Speaker 6: I mean, if I was looking a lot of archival footage,
Speaker 6: she's sitting here on daytime TV, grown men and women
Speaker 6: wagging their finger and you're the downfall of America. But
Speaker 6: she stayed true to herself, and early on she worked
Speaker 6: with people like Dona Tella Versaci and Mark Jacobs. She
Speaker 6: became amused to them, because in fashion, what's more exciting
Speaker 6: than a gorgeous woman who sits very proudly in her skin.
Speaker 6: But Kim, like a lot of artists, specially female artists,
Speaker 6: they never got their flowers. If you remember, Carti b
Speaker 6: was the first female rapper on the cover of American Vogue.
Speaker 6: Wasn't Kim, wasn't Fox, wasn't Missy Elliott, wasn't Eve all
Speaker 6: great contenders, by the way. So now a lot of
Speaker 6: people in the fashion world are talking about maybe she
Speaker 6: should get a Lifetime Achievement award or something, because not
Speaker 6: only did she birth a generation of female artists, but
Speaker 6: so many designers have taken just her elements, from the wig,
Speaker 6: the makeup, the diy creations that she wore. She definitely
Speaker 6: represents somebody who was fearless.
Speaker 7: What was it about Virgil that made hip hop artists
Speaker 7: currently celebrate him the way that they do, because you know,
Speaker 7: you don't really see that with designers, like why Virgil.
Speaker 6: Well, Virgil came from hip hop And there's a great
Speaker 6: picture in my book of Virgil Kanye Fonsworth, Bentley and
Speaker 6: a few other guys at Paris Fashion with I remember that, Yeah,
Speaker 6: they used to kill that picture. But looking now, they
Speaker 6: all came dressed and they were peacocking. They were looking
Speaker 6: for the camera because and I interviewed Fonsworth for the
Speaker 6: book and he's like, we want to show we arrived.
Speaker 6: This was important that we are here as young black
Speaker 6: stylish men in Paris, and you will take our photo.
Speaker 6: So Virgil came up with Kanye, was very close to
Speaker 6: him as a creative director. They were both interns together
Speaker 6: at Fendi. Look, I interned at Bad Boy, and I'm
Speaker 6: pretty sure that they got to do more fun intern
Speaker 6: things at Fendy Kanye and Virgil. But I love the
Speaker 6: fact that they wanted to earn their stripes, like no, no, no,
Speaker 6: we need to go to the source, and we don't
Speaker 6: want to just be the cool guys jumping in. We
Speaker 6: want to be respected. One thing Virgil I think did
Speaker 6: very well was he's a great dot connector he will
Speaker 6: take someone from hip hop, someone from art, someone from this,
Speaker 6: you know, sports world. He was a DJ, so he
Speaker 6: had this interesting sensibility that he was able to touch with.
Speaker 6: And you know, I think for a lot of people,
Speaker 6: myself included, we were just so shocked when he passed,
Speaker 6: so Virgil and also Andre Herrel sadly passed during the
Speaker 6: writing of this book, so I couldn't get to speak
Speaker 6: to them. But I think for a lot of people,
Speaker 6: that's like a hole that hasn't been filled, just this
Speaker 6: idea of this like nice, good guy who had so
Speaker 6: many interesting, cool friends and vision, and when he had
Speaker 6: that job at Louis Vuitton, it really felt like someone
Speaker 6: from hip hop made it like it wasn't just wearing Louis.
Speaker 6: You have a job there, you know, you're actually sitting
Speaker 6: at those tables with those decision makers. So he'll absolutely
Speaker 6: be messed.
Speaker 8: What male artists do you feel revolutionized hip hop as
Speaker 8: far as fashion is for the culture, if you.
Speaker 6: Could think, I mean we're talking about high fashion. We
Speaker 6: got to go back to the beginning and go to
Speaker 6: who's wearing Dapper Dan? Who can ever forget Eric B
Speaker 6: and rock him and those like Dapper Dan Jackets. I
Speaker 6: think later on, someone like Puffy was so instrumental where
Speaker 6: he could do anything because he came from that Andre
Speaker 6: Herral lineage of ghetto fabulous. He was the guy making
Speaker 6: Mary J. Blige where like the baseball shirt and the
Speaker 6: cap and the knee pads and that whole thing Jodosy
Speaker 6: and then of course that goes to Biggie, right. I
Speaker 6: don't think without Puff, Biggie would look the way that
Speaker 6: he looked. I think Puff as he said, And I
Speaker 6: think there's a great quote in the book I want
Speaker 6: to say from one of the track masters where Puff
Speaker 6: is like, no, my man is sexy, and they're like really,
Speaker 6: He's like no, No, That's why we need to one
Speaker 6: more chance, because he's sexy and women like him and
Speaker 6: he needs to look sexy. So someone like Puff. Absolutely.
Speaker 6: Of course Kanye, Kanye ever forget this man continues to
Speaker 6: revolutionize fashion. When I go out, I see so many
Speaker 6: little Kanye clones to this day, right, like you just
Speaker 6: look like you walked out out of Calabasas. Farrell probably
Speaker 6: the streetwear who popularizing Babe to then launching BBC, and
Speaker 6: he worked with people like Lagerfell, Mark Jacob's early before
Speaker 6: Louis Vatan. One fun story because you know there's a
Speaker 6: big conversation hip hop who made bait popular. Soldier Boy
Speaker 6: thinks it's him. Then there's you know, little Wayne and
Speaker 6: said it was him. This launched a whole the clips.
Speaker 6: Mister me too, right that was a whole thing. I
Speaker 6: have a great picture of Biggie wearing it in ninety
Speaker 6: seven before he came wearing Babe. There's an incredible story
Speaker 6: that's one of my favorite pictures. And there's an awesome
Speaker 6: picture of Tupac in Milan. So right before he passed,
Speaker 6: he was invited by Versace to walk in the Runway
Speaker 6: show in Milan. It was Tupac Kadata Jones, who was
Speaker 6: his then girlfriend, and his bodyguards and they walked the
Speaker 6: show and then he performed I Believe California Love Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and apparently Jiohnny was a big fan of his and
Speaker 6: Johnny VERSACEI was smart about collecting celebrities and really having
Speaker 6: whether it be Madonna or Mike Tyson. He just likes
Speaker 6: celebrities and he was that designer that now we see
Speaker 6: celebs front row. It wasn't like that before. It was
Speaker 6: fashion editors, fashion buyers, like people who need to be
Speaker 6: in the industry. But Johnny just saw the vision and
Speaker 6: he just fell in love with Pac And yeah, so
Speaker 6: that right before he passed.
Speaker 5: What do you hope fashion goes into the next fifty years?
Speaker 7: We know what the last fifty years of hip hop
Speaker 7: fashion looked like, what about the next fifties.
Speaker 6: I think the next fifty I would love to see
Speaker 6: a rapper brand become an American heritage brand, the way
Speaker 6: that we wear Polo and Tommy Hill Figure and Calvin
Speaker 6: Klein and those things. Maybe it's Sean John. Maybe it's easy.
Speaker 6: Maybe it's easy. I think he falls or is I
Speaker 6: think he was? He was on his Okay, So here's
Speaker 6: the question. Can you make a comeback?
Speaker 7: No, can make a company. I think he can make
Speaker 7: a comeback. Absolutely not. If you're trying to trademark youth
Speaker 7: at a time like this, that.
Speaker 6: Would be interesting. But what I love about this book
Speaker 6: is it starts in nineteen seventy three ends in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty three, but the culture is living, so it's constantly
Speaker 6: shaping and changing. So reading this book you get this
Speaker 6: great historical perspective, but I think it also makes you
Speaker 6: excited for the future.
Speaker 5: Well, the book is out right now.
Speaker 7: Appreciate you for joining the pot revolution out of high Fashion.
Speaker 5: It's in stores right now. Go pick it up. Thank
Speaker 5: you for joining us.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 6: Let's do it again.
Speaker 5: O Ye, ladies and gentlemen, to Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 5: the breakfast club.
Speaker 7: That damn Justin bieberfore I the BIBA No, he can
Speaker 7: make an R and B record when you want to
Speaker 7: cany while we not playing.
Speaker 5: Moments from the Love album, the Justin Bieber record from
Speaker 5: the video. It's a good question. This is a no record.
Speaker 8: You just throw that on every now and then morning everybody,
Speaker 8: we are to breakfast club.
Speaker 5: Let's get to the roomors, let's talk Kerry Washington or
Speaker 5: you gossip? Is the rumor report?
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess were on the breakfast club?
Speaker 5: This is were the tea spells right right now.
Speaker 8: Kerry Washington was on Bravo on Watch What Happens Live
Speaker 8: with Andy Cohen and she was asked, who's the most
Speaker 8: famous person to slide in your d MS?
Speaker 5: Who is the most famous person to slide into your
Speaker 5: d MS wanting to connect as a friend or otherwise.
Speaker 12: Shack Shaquille, he's a big Scandal fan and he's like,
Speaker 12: I'll do anything for command.
Speaker 5: That's Shack Man. Everybody's DMS. You noticed that who else?
Speaker 7: Is always a story about Shack being and somebody DMS
Speaker 7: sending support in love, propingnaclues mom for that seven foot
Speaker 7: three regular Nigga's.
Speaker 5: Good to see It's good to see he's still got
Speaker 5: that new again him. He's definitely from the brick now.
Speaker 8: Jada Pinkett Smith reveals that she and Will Smith have
Speaker 8: been separated since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 22: There are so many surprising things in the book. But
Speaker 22: the thing that surprised me the most that I actually
Speaker 22: had to reread it because I said, is this true?
Speaker 22: Was that in twenty sixteen you and Will decided that
Speaker 22: you were going to live completely separate lives. It was
Speaker 22: not a divorce on paper, but it was a divorce.
Speaker 22: So from the year twenty sixteen, which is seven years ago.
Speaker 5: Now, yes, y'all have been a part. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 5: think about this. I haven't read the book yet. I
Speaker 5: am a pinket went free, and I forgot what I am.
Speaker 5: I'm so flustered. I'm a pink Smith. Winfrey knows Carter.
Speaker 8: So since twenty sixteen, it's twenty twenty three, so close
Speaker 8: to twenty years, right, So I really want to know
Speaker 8: how Will feels when we say close to ten years.
Speaker 8: I really want to know how Will Smith truly truly feels.
Speaker 7: Now what he says to the public, now, what he
Speaker 7: says on social media when he's with his therapist or
Speaker 7: when he's just a loane in his thoughts, How does
Speaker 7: he feel about this? Because it feels like it feels
Speaker 7: like there's only one side, there's only one part of
Speaker 7: the relationship always being spoken about, and it's always coming
Speaker 7: from miss Jada, and it never seems like it puts
Speaker 7: Will in a good light.
Speaker 17: Ever.
Speaker 5: Am I bugging with this? Yeah, it's just me. No,
Speaker 5: it's not just you.
Speaker 8: But if they were separated since twenty sixteen, right it's
Speaker 8: twenty twenty three, that.
Speaker 5: Don't mean I get what you what you're trying to,
Speaker 5: what you're saying, tell me what you're saying.
Speaker 8: That means you know, when she was allegedly with oh,
Speaker 8: I don't want to talk about it, to do it,
Speaker 8: that means that that was fine because it was separate.
Speaker 5: I was thinking about something else.
Speaker 7: I'll think about when he him and Chris Rock got
Speaker 7: into their little because I know people will probably say, well,
Speaker 7: they were separated. He probably did that for no reason,
Speaker 7: But that don't mean that's still the mother of your children.
Speaker 5: This is it doesn't matter. But that was just to
Speaker 5: say it.
Speaker 8: So no matter what she does on the side or
Speaker 8: what he does on the side, they were separated and
Speaker 8: you can't tell what their relationship is. Right, whatever makes
Speaker 8: them happy makes them happy, nobody else's business.
Speaker 5: Correct.
Speaker 7: But I'm sure they know that. That's why it's their house.
Speaker 7: That's probably why they don't trip away the general public
Speaker 7: be tripping. See, the general public don't know nothing, and
Speaker 7: they never do. All we do is assume things and
Speaker 7: we see things, and being that we don't know how
Speaker 7: things actually are, we jump to conclusions. But you can't
Speaker 7: jump to conclusions when you don't have no information.
Speaker 8: No, But the problem is, didn't they do a whole
Speaker 8: interview about it and everything? And during that interview when
Speaker 8: they were talking about their their lives and their marriage,
Speaker 8: they never one time said they were separated.
Speaker 5: I don't know about nothing, none of that. Man. I
Speaker 5: don't like talking about people situations like that.
Speaker 18: I like.
Speaker 5: I like figuring out my own home. Damnit.
Speaker 7: Okay, you know what I'm saying. I got my own
Speaker 7: home going on, keep keeping entanglements out my house. I
Speaker 7: don't want my house to being the tangled.
Speaker 5: Yeah. But also if they talk about it and you
Speaker 5: write it in a book, you want people to know.
Speaker 7: Right, Well, DC, that's my point, and that's why I
Speaker 7: said it always seems to only be coming from one side.
Speaker 5: I read Will's book, he didn't mention it. I mean,
Speaker 5: I ain't read Jayda's book yet. I want to know
Speaker 5: why is why.
Speaker 7: I want to know how Will feels about this situation
Speaker 7: and Will's being forced to have to speak about it
Speaker 7: because she is right and we're curious now.
Speaker 5: Correct, you know, yeah, m m m mmmmmm. All right,
Speaker 5: that is your room.
Speaker 7: Remember when Bigge said, problems with my wife, don't discuss them. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I think everybody needs to get back to that. Problems
Speaker 7: with my wife, don't discuss them. Problems with my husband,
Speaker 7: don't discuss.
Speaker 8: But I will say that when when people do, maybe
Speaker 8: not that problem, but when they discuss certain problems, it's
Speaker 8: it's it's a better situation. Because sometimes people feel like
Speaker 8: when they're dealing with situations in the house that it's
Speaker 8: just them, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Only I'm going to go to a therapist, go to
Speaker 5: a counselor go do some people don't like counselors. Whatever
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm seeing everybody's spill. They got to be
Speaker 7: a social media you know. Sometimes I think it's good
Speaker 7: because I think people can understand and say hey, this
Speaker 7: is what I went through, this is what I've been through.
Speaker 7: People don't understand because they don't care. To have a understanding,
Speaker 7: you have to care. Let me tell you something. None
Speaker 7: of these people actually care about these people. Nobody that
Speaker 7: reading Jada Pinker's book or likes will Swift. They don't
Speaker 7: actually care about them.
Speaker 5: How could they?
Speaker 7: How could they actually care about them as people? We
Speaker 7: don't know them as people. You know them for what
Speaker 7: you see on television, you know, for what you're reading books,
Speaker 7: You know what I mean, you know what you hearing
Speaker 7: the music. You don't actually know these people, So you
Speaker 7: don't have that level of empathy and that level of
Speaker 7: care that you would if you actually knew some person.
Speaker 7: So it's like yo, when they give us things like this,
Speaker 7: were not thinking anything except for gossip, rumors, things to
Speaker 7: chat about on social media, to talk about at work,
Speaker 7: Like we don't.
Speaker 5: Know these people? All right? Well at all? Is your room?
Speaker 5: What's the point of giving it to report? All right?
Speaker 5: When we come back, we got the people's choice mixed.
Speaker 5: Let's go.
Speaker 19: It's the breakfast Club. Goo morning, the breakfast Club. Your
Speaker 19: mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 8: Mourning everybody is DJ nv Charlamagne the guy. We are
Speaker 8: the Breakfast Club. Now we got a salute off Set
Speaker 8: for joining us this morning.
Speaker 5: Salute to the good brother Offset Man.
Speaker 7: Set It Off will be in stores Friday that as
Speaker 7: offset second album, sophomore album.
Speaker 8: And also salute to Sonia. Her new book, Fashion Killer
Speaker 8: is out right now.
Speaker 7: That's right, Sonya Christina Murphy, that's the homie. Her book
Speaker 7: fashion Killer is out right now. And the reason I
Speaker 7: like that book is because you know, when we don't
Speaker 7: got no fashion, I don't have no fashion. But when
Speaker 7: we've been talking about fifty years of hip hop, you know,
Speaker 7: it's all about the music, but you know, hip hop
Speaker 7: is a culture, so it's not just music.
Speaker 5: You know, fashion plays a big role in that. So
Speaker 5: I'm glad that there is a piece of art that.
Speaker 7: Is documenting the last fifty years of fashion and hip hop,
Speaker 7: and that is indeed Samia Christiana Murphy's new book, Fashion Killer.
Speaker 7: So make sure you go pick that up. And Rich
Speaker 7: Paul Lucky Me is out there. Man, go to the bookstore.
Speaker 7: Those are two good reasons to go to the bookstore
Speaker 7: this week. And Michael Harriet black af that's another good
Speaker 7: reason to go to the bookstore that came out a
Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago, Great Reads.
Speaker 5: All right, when we come back. We got the positive
Speaker 5: notice to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 8: Good morning Morning. Everybody is dj n V Charlamagne the guy.
Speaker 8: We are the Breakfast Club. Now I'm Charloman. You got
Speaker 8: a positive note. I do man in the positive note
Speaker 8: simply this.
Speaker 7: When you're transitioning from being a people pleaser into someone
Speaker 7: with more boundaries, it can feel so weird. It's hard
Speaker 7: to tell if you're being mean or if you're actually
Speaker 7: just respecting your own feelings because you're so used to
Speaker 7: putting other people's feelings first. But I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 7: you gotta put your feelings first.
Speaker 5: Okay, Breakfast Club, bitch is you don't feeish or y'all
Speaker 5: done
