Speaker 2: page news is the breakfast lubl Good morning, let's go
Speaker 2: Good morning. Everybody is d J n V Charlamage the God.
Speaker 2: We are the breakfast Club. Let's get in some front
Speaker 2: page news.
Speaker 11: Good morning, teas, Oh, good morning DJ and me. Good morning,
Speaker 11: Charlamagne God, Good morning.
Speaker 2: That's crazy now, I know. With some quick NFL last night,
Speaker 2: the Jaguars beat the Saints thirty one, twenty four. Now
Speaker 2: what we jumping into.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's talk about the four hundred Capital staffers. They're
Speaker 4: calling for a ceasefire. Muslim and Jewish congressional staffers signed
Speaker 4: a letter yesterday urging Congress tobacco between Israel and Amas
Speaker 4: in the light of the anti Jewish, anti Muslim, and
Speaker 4: anti Palestinian sentiment on the rise in the nation.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 4: The letter they wrote said that nationwideen in the Congress,
Speaker 4: the voices calling for de escalation in peace have been
Speaker 4: drowned out by those beating the drums of war. As
Speaker 4: Muslims and Jews, we are tired of reliving generational fears
Speaker 4: of genocide and ethnic cleansing. It often feels like the
Speaker 4: conversations on Capitol Hill are completely divorced from the conversations
Speaker 4: people are having among their friends, family, and coworkers. So
Speaker 4: they are asking for peace because obviously the US is
Speaker 4: making decisions without input from the American people, and certainly
Speaker 4: I guess the staffers are seeing it from behind the
Speaker 4: scenes and they're saying, you know, enough is enough. Now,
Speaker 4: speaking of that, President Biden did address the nation last
Speaker 4: night about Ukraine and Israel, and how the US must
Speaker 4: continue to support Let's take a listen to a few
Speaker 4: of his words.
Speaker 7: We can't let petty parties and angry politics getting away
Speaker 7: or responsibility is a great nation. We cannot and will
Speaker 7: not let terrorists like Kamas, tyrants like couldn't win. I
Speaker 7: refuse to let that happen. And moments like these we
Speaker 7: have to rewind. We have to remember who we are.
Speaker 7: Where are the United States of America, the United States
Speaker 7: of America? And there is nothing, nothing beyond our capacity
Speaker 7: if we do it together.
Speaker 9: Once again, man, do what you got to do for
Speaker 9: global stability, but take care at home.
Speaker 2: First.
Speaker 9: I gets terrible that we have money for war but
Speaker 9: can't feed the poor here in America. Or they asking
Speaker 9: for one hundred billion dollars in funding, their requesting from
Speaker 9: Congress one hundred billion dollars while folks is go over
Speaker 9: here starving, while folks go over here homeless, Like why
Speaker 9: can't we take care of the basics here?
Speaker 2: First, I thought we were in a huge debt. I
Speaker 2: thought we were borrowing money from countries and borrowing money
Speaker 2: from Allied So how do we have that money to
Speaker 2: actually give to them?
Speaker 1: I don't know?
Speaker 9: And it's where you can address the nation all you want,
Speaker 9: but I promise you, you know, the nation doesn't care
Speaker 9: about foreign foreign policy or foreign politics the way they
Speaker 9: do about here at home. I can guarantee you that
Speaker 9: American foreign priorities are not the priorities of the average
Speaker 9: everyday American.
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And just for clarity is it's certainly more than that,
Speaker 4: because it's one hundred billion to Israel, and then yesterday
Speaker 4: the report was one hundred million that's going to for
Speaker 4: the relief in Godza, so and it's way more than
Speaker 4: and they asked for an eight billion dollar package they're
Speaker 4: putting together as well, you know, in Congress for this effort,
Speaker 4: and then again not including what's already been in Ukraine.
Speaker 4: So the numbers just keep adding up. So it's certainly
Speaker 4: a lot of money that they're talking about. And what
Speaker 4: that said in Congress right now Jim Jordan, who will
Speaker 4: be who they are saying is going to be the
Speaker 4: next Speaker of the House in order to give more
Speaker 4: of this money, I was important to have a speaker.
Speaker 4: He goes for a third vote today they continue to
Speaker 4: keep telling him, we don't want you, Jim and Jim
Speaker 4: is saying I'm going to keep on pushing the line.
Speaker 4: And as a result of that, a voicemail was left
Speaker 4: on the wife of a congressman's phone. Now they did
Speaker 4: not say who this wife was or who the congress
Speaker 4: person was. They wanted to make sure they protected the identity,
Speaker 4: but a very disturbing voicemail. I got a you a
Speaker 4: sake and self to.
Speaker 11: Check it out.
Speaker 10: Why is your husband such a pig? Why would he
Speaker 10: get on TV? And they can ask himself because he's
Speaker 10: a deep state prick because he doesn't represent the people.
Speaker 10: So what we're going to do is we're gonna come
Speaker 10: follow you all over the place. We're going to be
Speaker 10: up yours. We are now Antifa. We're going to do
Speaker 10: what the left does because you're a husband gets on
Speaker 10: TV just oh the bad guys. Dad. So I'm going
Speaker 10: to vote for Kevin McCarthy, a piece who everybody knows,
Speaker 10: and for his piece ass talk about Americans who are
Speaker 10: actually fighting for Americans as the bad people says everything
Speaker 10: about him. So you your husband, so listen, I'm putting
Speaker 10: all your information over the internet now everybody else's and
Speaker 10: you're going to be molested like you can't ever imagine
Speaker 10: and again non violently and you must be a Samaria
Speaker 10: ugly mother like that.
Speaker 9: Dang, how are you gonna end that web thing non violently?
Speaker 9: What the hell sounds crazy?
Speaker 12: What the hell?
Speaker 1: They get the numbers from.
Speaker 4: Number again they find it just like people have found
Speaker 4: found information left, voicemails left. You know that when you
Speaker 4: go against uh, some of these folks, you know, in
Speaker 4: their position, they get pretty aggressive with trying to find
Speaker 4: your information. It was it at one point, I even
Speaker 4: at the tight turn my website, you know, information off,
Speaker 4: people find numbers, they leave voicemails and text messages.
Speaker 11: I mean this, this is this is how they get
Speaker 11: out again.
Speaker 9: They can't start six nine. What was that old thing
Speaker 9: back in the day, start six.
Speaker 2: The phone lord have mercy. Yeah, but people like that
Speaker 2: should get locked up. And that's that's regardless. When you
Speaker 2: threaten people over the line and you threaten to put
Speaker 2: that information out their address, their phone number where people
Speaker 2: can actually get hurt, that's a threat and they shouldet arrested.
Speaker 9: Like remember that movie Minority Report where they arrescue for
Speaker 9: what you what you might do, what you have, what
Speaker 9: you if you if you make.
Speaker 1: Those kinds of threats. They should.
Speaker 2: They should charge you like you actually did the crime.
Speaker 2: Charge like you did the crime.
Speaker 9: If you're gonna go out of your way to get
Speaker 9: on the phone and do all of that, well at.
Speaker 2: Least at least half.
Speaker 9: Let me get whatever they would give you for doing
Speaker 9: the crime, give them half for doing that phone call.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because we know this really can happen, because remember
Speaker 4: this happened to Nancy Pelosi's husband, so you know, the
Speaker 4: spouse of an elected official like this is a real thing.
Speaker 4: And the conversation for those who want to check it out,
Speaker 4: you go look at it on, listen to it online,
Speaker 4: is actually much worse.

Speaker 2: Let's talk Young Blue. Whole lot of names or you've
Speaker 2: gossip been when you chatting. This is the rumor report.
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess we're on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: This is where the tea spells right right now. Young
Speaker 2: Blue was arrested yesterday for allegedly attacking a woman. Now,
Speaker 2: this is an incident at the center of an alleged
Speaker 2: custody dispute involving a ten year old child. They said
Speaker 2: that officers responded to a nine one one call from
Speaker 2: a woman on October fifteenth to their home. When deputies arrived,
Speaker 2: they said, the woman told him that Young Blue had
Speaker 2: shown up at the residents unannounced, with the intent to
Speaker 2: take the ten year old child with him. They said.
Speaker 2: An argument ensued and allegedly he threw the woman to
Speaker 2: the ground. Now, Young Blue made a statement, he said,
Speaker 2: I'm off this internet thing. I cherish women and I
Speaker 2: can and I'm completely innocent. Just know this about to
Speaker 2: be one of the toughest times to be a fan
Speaker 2: of Minds because I'm about to go into another bracket
Speaker 2: as owner and entrepreneur. And people hate you know that,
Speaker 2: They hate on that. So that's what happened with Young
Speaker 2: Blue while he was arrested yesterday.
Speaker 16: This is like the second biasco he's had with women
Speaker 16: in the media light within like the past two months.
Speaker 2: I feel like, mm hmm. Sounds like he needs to
Speaker 2: sage that.
Speaker 1: This is just a sage.
Speaker 16: Sounds like he needs a sage.
Speaker 6: But I like Young Blue, I hope he figures that out.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, Sugar Knight, Now this is crazy. Sug Knight is
Speaker 2: starting a podcast from prison.
Speaker 9: We do not need podcasts mikes in prison. The last
Speaker 9: thing we need is podcast mikes in prison. Podcast mikes
Speaker 9: in prison is the recipe for disaster. Let's listen to
Speaker 9: the trailer.
Speaker 7: More than three hundred million dollars got row with a
Speaker 7: possible recocasion mind.
Speaker 2: Because people don't know about a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 6: Jesus made started the Source on.
Speaker 2: The New Source for Garus.
Speaker 6: The magazine is now a ten million dollars a year publication.
Speaker 2: Every time you turn around, everybody want to spreadge lines.
Speaker 12: He want to be an artist, Andy want to stay
Speaker 12: a star.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to worry about the dactive producer trying.
Speaker 2: To be all in the video, all on the record
Speaker 2: color Death Rock.
Speaker 15: You've had a prepaid call from sure Night.
Speaker 9: So this sounds like a well produced, singular focused podcast.
Speaker 9: This podcast is actually about an issue.
Speaker 1: What are you about?
Speaker 2: I guess they're gonna be talking about everything. He's gonna
Speaker 2: be talking about all everything that's going on with Death Row.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be h they say, barking back at Snoop
Speaker 2: acon H and a host of other people who's gonna
Speaker 2: reply into some of the things that they've heard. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is a It's actually on Breakbeat Media, so it
Speaker 2: is gonna be coming out. They said, five episodes are
Speaker 2: already shot, so we'll be see.
Speaker 9: So I guess you'll got a story to tell. I'm
Speaker 9: just saying, like you don't want this random podcast. Mike
Speaker 9: floating around prison like you do not want to hear
Speaker 9: a podcast called Guys we F'd coming out of a
Speaker 9: male correctional facility.
Speaker 1: Nobody watched that, all right, Okay?
Speaker 9: And the only other way I would want podcasts mikes
Speaker 9: in prison is if you have some of these brothers
Speaker 9: and sisters telling stories about how they got there, so
Speaker 9: maybe people don't make the same decisions that they made.
Speaker 1: That could be interesting.
Speaker 2: I feel as your question, doesn't that get you in trouble,
Speaker 2: Like you're not supposed to have a podcast. I'm sure
Speaker 2: Mike's in jail or you're not supposed to be talking,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden the podcast comes out
Speaker 2: business in.
Speaker 16: Jail, a lot of people from jail beginning to contact
Speaker 16: with me a lot of different ways. So I don't
Speaker 16: know what the rules are, but I will say I
Speaker 16: feel like a lot of podcasts these days already feel
Speaker 16: like jail talk. Nothing but yo, if you nothing but
Speaker 16: hood trauma story, they did this back then, I.
Speaker 9: Just like, my goodness, I'm over it is It is
Speaker 9: some I know what Niyhle is saying, because you do
Speaker 9: have a lot of people on podcasts kind of like
Speaker 9: just incriminating themselves, right, So these are the people who
Speaker 9: have literally they're literally incarcerated for crime, you know. So
Speaker 9: once again, I just feel like if they're in there
Speaker 9: and they're telling us how they got there and maybe
Speaker 9: people don't make those same mistakes, that could be cool
Speaker 9: if they teach turned it into a teachable moment, But
Speaker 9: other than that, nah.
Speaker 2: And lastly, it seems like making the stallion and called Crawford,
Speaker 2: you know, called Crawford was the owner of the label
Speaker 2: she was signed to fifteen oh one certified. It seems
Speaker 2: like the beef is now over. They parted ways. Everything
Speaker 2: seems fine, so I know it's been three years of
Speaker 2: back and forth, but now they say that they have
Speaker 2: ended their relationship, you know, financially and I guess business wise.
Speaker 2: So she is no longer on fifteen oh one certified.
Speaker 2: So I know she was looking for that. So congratulations
Speaker 2: to her, all right, what I.
Speaker 1: Mean they bought her out?
Speaker 2: Like what happened? Like they were not in no details. No,
Speaker 2: they're not giving no details. They just say they amically
Speaker 2: part ways and ended three years of back and forth
Speaker 2: of swiping on social media. They were in court and everything, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: in courting everything, So maybe they agreed to maybe somebody
Speaker 2: bought it out. Maybe she'll, you know, he'll still get
Speaker 2: a percentage of whatever it is, but she's no longer
Speaker 2: on fifteen oh one certified.
Speaker 9: And I don't like stuff like that when you make
Speaker 9: when there's so much noise around the situation. We knew
Speaker 9: all the details going into it, right, so tell us
Speaker 9: all the details when things get cool.
Speaker 16: I was about to say, they ain't saying nothing. That
Speaker 16: kind of scares me. But doing business with anybody from
Speaker 16: Texas like that, honestly scares me.
Speaker 1: The whole Texas.
Speaker 2: Not look just because they hold money in Texas, nobody.
Speaker 16: But music history in Texas. Like all those people intimidate me.
Speaker 1: Like, who I get what you say?
Speaker 9: You say that that what you've heard about some of
Speaker 9: the people in Texas, not that they do bad business,
Speaker 9: You just hear intimidating things about them.
Speaker 2: Yes, I get what you said, like the legend of J.
Speaker 16: Prince's what you're talking Moze. I want no beef, no problem,
Speaker 16: no parts. And once they get involved, like we said,
Speaker 16: we don't hear nothing. All we know is is a
Speaker 16: done deal. I'm okay Texas though, all.
Speaker 2: Right, well that is your rumor report. Now when we
Speaker 2: come back tesling figure will be joining us for front
Speaker 2: page news. And you hear that, Charlomagne, that frog is
Speaker 2: coming out the throat. I don't know what it was here.
Speaker 9: I got a copy of Jada Pinkett Smith's new book.
Speaker 9: If anybody wants it, I got it. I got a
Speaker 9: couple of these, just giving these out. You just just no,
Speaker 9: I'm just I showed you this because it might scare
Speaker 9: that frog got your throat? All right, look a look
Speaker 9: at the look at this?
Speaker 2: All right? When we come back, we got front page news,
Speaker 2: and don't forget Ida Rodriguez will be joining us. It's
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings
Speaker 2: will never be the same. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ
Speaker 2: Envy Charlemagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's
Speaker 2: get in some front page news. Jaguars beat the Saints
Speaker 2: last night thirty one twenty four and what up tis?
Speaker 11: What's going on? DJ and B Charlemagne, the God, Breakfast Club, family.
Speaker 2: The hood which for test figure out what's happening. Let's cut,
Speaker 2: let's jump right into it. Let's talk about the murder rate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to try to do It's been such a heavy week, guys,
Speaker 4: I'm sure you agree with all of the war coverage.
Speaker 4: Wanted to try to find something least positive that we
Speaker 4: could talk about during this hour, and the murder rate
Speaker 4: failed six percent nationwide. Now, depending on where you live,
Speaker 4: if you feel that or not, and obviously if you've
Speaker 4: experienced something tragic, this may not mean much. But for
Speaker 4: those who want to know, you know what's happening with
Speaker 4: the murder rate, it has went down. The FBI issued
Speaker 4: their annual crime report and found that violent crime in
Speaker 4: the US has decreased. The murder rate went down six
Speaker 4: point one percent from in twenty twenty two. Again, they
Speaker 4: just released this report, you know, kind of doing the
Speaker 4: assessment from last year. Overall, violent crime dropped one point
Speaker 4: seven percent, including a six point one percent decrease and
Speaker 4: murder and non negligent manslaughter. The murder rate also continues
Speaker 4: to follow this year after it jump nearly thirty percent
Speaker 4: during the pandemic in twenty twenty. So in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 4: the rate for homicide was six point three percent six
Speaker 4: point three homicide offenses per one hundred thousand. This is
Speaker 4: down from twenty twenty one, which was a eight of
Speaker 4: six point eight percent pert one hundred thousand people. So
Speaker 4: property crime is on the rise, unfortunately, but the murder
Speaker 4: rate is down.
Speaker 9: I don't feel it all the time. And what is
Speaker 9: it down from a million percent? Like what is what
Speaker 9: did that say?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 2: I don't feel like that at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see that. All I see is people
Speaker 1: getting killed all the time.
Speaker 2: But the papers on the news and it seems like
Speaker 2: it's the murder rate it's going up.
Speaker 4: It feels like yeah, I mean yeah, like I said,
Speaker 4: it's personal. It's it's all gonna come down if you
Speaker 4: if you feel it or not, and that will affect folks,
Speaker 4: you know, uh at the at the voting booth, but
Speaker 4: you know me personally losing a friend last month, lost
Speaker 4: one this month, funeral today actually uh so.
Speaker 11: Yeah, thank you so much. So it just you know,
Speaker 11: it just just depends.
Speaker 4: Now my friend today, shout out to him, act if
Speaker 4: he was not murdered. I want to be clear about that.
Speaker 4: But a last month friend wasn't. I think I mentioned
Speaker 4: that on the show es Bohn who was murdered unfortunately.
Speaker 4: So again a lot is still happening for people having
Speaker 4: you know, a personal connection.
Speaker 11: That's what it comes down to in politics. What do
Speaker 11: you feel personally.
Speaker 4: We can put the SATs out, we can have the conversations,
Speaker 4: but at the end of the day, if people don't
Speaker 4: feel it, these SATs mean nothing. But I still want to,
Speaker 4: you know, at least let you know what the FBI said.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I agree with you.
Speaker 9: I'm a person that I vote my own interests, and
Speaker 9: if I don't vote my own interest I will vote
Speaker 9: the things that I know will benefit others, you know.
Speaker 9: So I'm a little bit to you to your point,
Speaker 9: I'm definitely all about interests when I vote.
Speaker 2: Now bout hitting that snooze button?
Speaker 6: Now, yeah, I wanted to know.
Speaker 4: Do you guys hit the snooze button in the morning.
Speaker 4: I'm sure you you got to get up early. We
Speaker 4: all hit this snooze button. There's on a report that
Speaker 4: says it actually can benefit your brain. So I wanted
Speaker 4: to give you this information. Scientist at the Stockholm University
Speaker 4: found the snooze and may actually support the waking process
Speaker 4: for regular snoozers. Now, for years they've called snoozers lazy
Speaker 4: and perhaps saying that they, you know, just don't want
Speaker 4: to get up and need to herry up and get up.
Speaker 4: But they have found that this actually helps the brain's
Speaker 4: ability to wake up properly. Oney seven hundred and thirty
Speaker 4: two individuals answer questions about their morning habits, including if
Speaker 4: they hit the snooze button, and they found that this
Speaker 4: allowed them to wake up easier. They woke up quicker
Speaker 4: on their feet, and a little bit more shark when
Speaker 4: they had the snooze, and the snooze that they the
Speaker 4: time that they looked at for the study was an
Speaker 4: extra thirty minutes. So me personally, I think I do
Speaker 4: like ten or fifteen depends on what coast. I'm on
Speaker 4: the West coast for sure, because I'm up at like
Speaker 4: one am, two am in the morning, so I do
Speaker 4: like fifteen minutes there Central Central Time.
Speaker 11: I do maybe ten minutes. In the East coast, I
Speaker 11: usually can kind of get right on up.
Speaker 9: So yeah, I wake up at four fifteen every morning.
Speaker 9: I usually hit the snooze button. It ain't that long though,
Speaker 9: I think it's my snooz button might.
Speaker 1: Be like three four minutes.
Speaker 2: You know what I want.
Speaker 1: I want to custom customize the alarm clock.
Speaker 9: Like I want an alarm clock that when it goes off,
Speaker 9: it claps and it's like rise, king, get up.
Speaker 2: Today is your day? King like cheering you on, like WHOA,
Speaker 2: Well you can't you could.
Speaker 11: I guess you could. I guess you could record that
Speaker 11: is audio and make your audio.
Speaker 2: You wake up your wife. You're a waite for you.
Speaker 2: You wake up your wife. If that that goes off
Speaker 2: every day.
Speaker 9: I mean, if I'm gonna go off anyway, So you know,
Speaker 9: I just imagine how that is to start your day
Speaker 9: with that kind of like like somebody's celebrating you, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's up, yay, Yes, the world is yours. I'll
Speaker 2: be honest. The reason I don't have a snooze button
Speaker 2: because I don't use the snooze is because the lawn
Speaker 2: is so loud, and usually one of the kids is
Speaker 2: in our room for some reason, one of the kids,
Speaker 2: the baby, one of them is in our room. They
Speaker 2: one ends up in the room, and you're trying to
Speaker 2: be so quiet not to wake up the family when
Speaker 2: you're leaving in the morning. So I don't even hit
Speaker 2: there's no snooze for me. Your throat clear, It did
Speaker 2: to clear up a little bit. Yeah, you start crying,
Speaker 2: crying like a little white man crying. Look at them
Speaker 2: on that screen, what are you talking about? So you
Speaker 2: just jump right up then and hit the floor. I
Speaker 2: just jump right up and go yep, well right, well,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 5: Tis.

Speaker 9: her trauma into treasure and lessons for us.
Speaker 12: All.

Speaker 2: in the building. Yes, indeed, we have Rodriguez.
Speaker 6: I think I am the Latin person what we call
Speaker 6: now Latin a LATINX like next right, I think I
Speaker 6: think I'm the Latin person that's been on the show
Speaker 6: the most, just like my seventh time Dominican. I know
Speaker 6: he's on the weekend.
Speaker 2: Dominican. I think you a fat joke.
Speaker 6: I mean fat Joe is Joey crack.
Speaker 2: You're never not working new book? Legitimate kid, you know what?
Speaker 6: I was laughing because she said that books are the
Speaker 6: new record. Yeah, and it is because I'm dissing my
Speaker 6: mama and daddy in this. Jesus, Jesus, I'm holding them accountable,
Speaker 6: but I'm not never this. My mom is my queen.
Speaker 2: Why do you call it legitimate kid?
Speaker 6: Because kids in the in the hood are evil. And
Speaker 6: when I was little, kid told me I was a
Speaker 6: bastard because I didn't have my father's last name. Jesus,
Speaker 6: and I found out what it meant, and then I
Speaker 6: was I felt less than and so I went on
Speaker 6: a journey to find my legitimacy. And I want all
Speaker 6: the little kids that grow up in the hood that
Speaker 6: hear this. Your daddy didn't sign your birth certificate. That
Speaker 6: doesn't make you legitimate. That that term comes from prostitution.
Speaker 6: It has nothing to do with parental presence in your life.
Speaker 2: It can turn bastard.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that came being a legitimate came from them saying
Speaker 6: children that were born to prostitutes were not legitimate. But
Speaker 6: then they weaponized that against people of color, poor people,
Speaker 6: And so I wanted to find out more about myself
Speaker 6: because that affected the way I dealt with men, you know,
Speaker 6: my life as a mom and all that stuff, and
Speaker 6: so I wanted to I want everybody who reads that
Speaker 6: book to know that they are legitimate.
Speaker 9: Now we said something back to the boy or what
Speaker 9: was what was just the joke? Back to the boy
Speaker 9: you had something for nah?
Speaker 6: You know you know my joke I was when I
Speaker 6: was a kid. I was meek when I was little.
Speaker 6: This didn't happen til like this was in elementary. I
Speaker 6: didn't get gully to middle school. Started peeping the pro wings.
Speaker 6: You're too young to know what that is. You sneakers
Speaker 6: from pay less that the poor people used to.
Speaker 12: It was cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was cool when you now when we was kids,
Speaker 6: that was food stamp.
Speaker 1: So you probably had out.
Speaker 2: Yeah I did.
Speaker 6: I would have the flailix. Nobody could see that it
Speaker 6: was let's just a tip. You can see the tip
Speaker 6: sticking out.
Speaker 2: But oh, now talk about the journey of finding your
Speaker 2: dad and finding your history.
Speaker 6: So you know what my I went to the Dominican Republic.
Speaker 6: I did the documentary that's on HBO and my father.
Speaker 6: You know, when I met my father, my father asked
Speaker 6: me for money, and it was the first question. It
Speaker 6: was not the first question, but it was probably like
Speaker 6: the fourth and it was very painful because I was
Speaker 6: I just met him, and you know, I was really
Speaker 6: upset with him. I died them on stage. It was
Speaker 6: really you know, he was he was DL, I was Monique.
Speaker 8: And it was they got.
Speaker 6: I went in and then I decided to uh, to
Speaker 6: really explore what that meant. And my father lives in
Speaker 6: the Dominican Republic. He's been for his whole life. You know,
Speaker 6: I was looking at it from my perspective. I wanted
Speaker 6: I don't want to hate him. I just didn't want to.
Speaker 6: I wanted to find love in my heart for him.
Speaker 6: So I sat down and started exploring all of this stuff,
Speaker 6: and I was like, yo, he is poor. His child
Speaker 6: came from America.
Speaker 2: The first, you know, fourth question, you want to know
Speaker 2: about your daughter the first three questions. First, I know,
Speaker 2: what was the first three questions?
Speaker 6: You know, the first thing he asked me, he asked
Speaker 6: me about my mom. He asked me how my mom
Speaker 6: was doing. He cried, you know, he asked me about how,
Speaker 6: you know, how things were going for me. You know,
Speaker 6: he asked me about me. But it was just I
Speaker 6: was getting ready to leave because I was only there
Speaker 6: for two days, and he gave me a hug and
Speaker 6: then he whispered in my ear, I'm gonna need you
Speaker 6: to give me some money. And I was devastated. I left.
Speaker 6: I didn't talk to him for a minute, and you know,
Speaker 6: they had they had mics on me because we were
Speaker 6: recording a documentary. We were in production, and so all
Speaker 6: those people heard it and they were like they felt
Speaker 6: bad for me.
Speaker 2: Did you give him money?
Speaker 10: I did.
Speaker 6: I know, I'm not going to say that, but you know,
Speaker 6: I was paying him to go away at that moment.
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm gonna just because I know he's struggling,
Speaker 6: but I was like, this is it. This is the
Speaker 6: cheapest amount of money that I'm gonna give away. And
Speaker 6: then I had to go through some work, some in
Speaker 6: and works.
Speaker 2: Did you learn to give grace to your parents were
Speaker 2: just realizing they were just human.
Speaker 6: Yes, my mom absolutely. You know who knows what my
Speaker 6: daughter and my son are going to say about me
Speaker 6: when they you know what I mean, Like we all
Speaker 6: think we got it right. You think that because you're
Speaker 6: not your parents and you're not struggling like your parents were,
Speaker 6: that they had the best shoes. You never know what
Speaker 6: the kids are going to say. And so I learned.
Speaker 6: My mom had her first kid when she was fourteen,
Speaker 6: and I didn't know that. I found out when I
Speaker 6: was writing the book, and that baby died and the
Speaker 6: father of the baby died playing Russian roulette. So that
Speaker 6: was all before I was even born. She was a kid.
Speaker 6: So I was like, how I'm gonna sit here and
Speaker 6: judge my mother, Like, I mean.
Speaker 1: You know, the traumas and stuff she was dealing.
Speaker 6: With, you you know, I was born into it and
Speaker 6: so and it was generational. My grandmother had her first
Speaker 6: kid when she was thirteen. My mom was sexually abused
Speaker 6: at home, so she was trying to get out, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean, I can't do that to her.
Speaker 6: She's and even still with all of that, she raised
Speaker 6: four amazing kids, like none of us have ever been
Speaker 6: in trouble with all productive? Who does that? You know
Speaker 6: what I mean?
Speaker 1: I walked in and was telling us about an interview
Speaker 1: she did with Gael King.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she said, girl, you've been through some things, you
Speaker 6: know what. It's interesting though. She read the book and
Speaker 6: I did an interview a couple of days ago with
Speaker 6: somebody who didn't read the book. And when I walked in,
Speaker 6: they were like, girl, your books so funny. And I
Speaker 6: was like, I disrespect people that were like, you know,
Speaker 6: I didn't read it, so tell me about it.
Speaker 2: But she was like you so, and I was like,
Speaker 2: it's not that type of book.
Speaker 12: Who is that?
Speaker 1: Who is that?
Speaker 10: Well? You know what? Ess?
Speaker 2: And I walked in, Jess and I walked in and
Speaker 2: Charlemagne was looking at the book and he was very
Speaker 2: interested in the chapter that said Pizza and Penis.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was the one that I went straight.
Speaker 2: To, straight to pizzas because I wanted to know about callers.
Speaker 6: To her, that was your uncle.
Speaker 11: I want to know what was that With him?
Speaker 6: We definitely talked about Carlos, but he saw Pisa and Penis.
Speaker 6: He didn't even see Pisa, He just saw n Penis
Speaker 6: and about this.
Speaker 2: You need to get into it.
Speaker 6: You know what's funny. It's Gael King was like, I
Speaker 6: enjoyed this chapter. The chapter is about me getting sexually abused.
Speaker 2: So it's not I feel stupid now, y'all thought, y'all.
Speaker 8: All go ahead.
Speaker 6: You know it was I want people to be free,
Speaker 6: like I want people who've been through the stuff I've
Speaker 6: been through to read this and say I'm gonna be
Speaker 6: all right. I didn't want.
Speaker 2: I don't want.
Speaker 6: I don't want to do trauma porn like. It's not
Speaker 6: just what is me and my life has been bad.
Speaker 6: It's every turn is me turning around and say I'm
Speaker 6: gonna turn this, I'm gonna flip this into this, and
Speaker 6: this is how those things became jokes.
Speaker 2: Well move, we got more with Ida Rodriguez. When we
Speaker 2: come back, it's the Breakfast Club, Good morning Morning. Everybody's
Speaker 2: DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast I
Speaker 2: was still kicking with Reguez. Do you think a comedian
Speaker 2: can even have material without trauma?
Speaker 6: Yes, I think we have a spectrum of comedy and
Speaker 6: we need. Simba was not trauma driven, and we love
Speaker 6: Simbat and undeniably one of the funniest shout clean. Yeah,
Speaker 6: he's healing. Yeah, clean comedy, I do think. So we
Speaker 6: need we need, especially people of color. We can't all
Speaker 6: be the color purple. We need some levity. We need
Speaker 6: to have comedians who are lighthearted and do jokes about things.
Speaker 6: Everybody doesn't have to be deep and you know that's
Speaker 6: that's pretentious, you know, I think some of us need
Speaker 6: we need. We ain't have a Carrot Top Like Carrot
Speaker 6: Top is a millionaire in Vegas. We've never had a
Speaker 6: comedian like that that can just be you know why
Speaker 6: we always have to have the burden of walking around
Speaker 6: being the heaviness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and brown, a certain privilege that comes with being.
Speaker 6: A yeah, but we need one. We need somebody walking
Speaker 6: around with props to you know.
Speaker 9: And now talked us about how how junkies and prostitutes
Speaker 9: assisted jama my mom.
Speaker 6: The person she was dating at the time beat her.
Speaker 6: She was pregnant and he left her for dead in
Speaker 6: the park in Central Park. She was say, not much pregnant,
Speaker 6: and it was the junkies and the prostitutes that were
Speaker 6: around who took her to the hospital and saved her life.
Speaker 6: So she's my mother is not a respective of persons.
Speaker 6: She lives that Bible life like she feeds anybody. She
Speaker 6: will she's all she's she's so wounded, but she will
Speaker 6: never forget. She does not look down on anybody. And
Speaker 6: so we were never allowed to do that. We could
Speaker 6: never be make fun of somebody because you know, whatever
Speaker 6: it was, she'd be like, not do that. She will
Speaker 6: always say it was the prostitutes and the junkies, that's
Speaker 6: what they called them, not the people. She was like,
Speaker 6: those are the people who saved your brother's life. And
Speaker 6: so we were raised to this. You know, that's how
Speaker 6: we all are.
Speaker 2: Everybody respect. When this becomes a movie or mini series,
Speaker 2: is gonna be a drama y or a horror movie?
Speaker 1: What the hell?
Speaker 6: Non so dramedy? Drama developing a TV show? No, it's
Speaker 6: gonna be a drama. We gotta laugh at we gotta.
Speaker 2: Laugh at it. How difficult was it to write this?
Speaker 6: It was hard as hell?
Speaker 2: How long did it take?
Speaker 6: Because I wrote my own book, there's no no ghostwriter.
Speaker 6: So the thing is it took me two and a
Speaker 6: half years. But I've been working on that book for
Speaker 6: seven years. But you don't, you know, like you say
Speaker 6: you're going to write a book, because you got the
Speaker 6: ideas and you got the stories. But when you start
Speaker 6: writing them down in that publisher, that editor is like,
Speaker 6: I need eighty thousand words, it becomes a whole different
Speaker 6: You're like, damn, I could just tell you. When you
Speaker 6: write the story down it's two pages. You're like, that's it.
Speaker 8: I got it.
Speaker 6: But now you gotta go in and you gotta details.
Speaker 9: And it was.
Speaker 6: It was one of the hardest things I ever did,
Speaker 6: one of the greatest lessons for me not to take
Speaker 6: anything for granted, because you know, authors, these authors have
Speaker 6: been real snobby towards me, Like even people of color
Speaker 6: that I've been I've reached out to and I've been
Speaker 6: posting about their books, and they all been kind of
Speaker 6: kind of like, kind of greasy with me. And it's
Speaker 6: because I'm not a comedian stepping into their world and
Speaker 6: they're like, here goes another one. They're gonna do a
Speaker 6: book and then they're gonna bounce. And I was like, now,
Speaker 6: I've been writing my whole life. My stand up is writing,
Speaker 6: my TV shows are writing, you know, this book is writing,
Speaker 6: the movies I've written. I'm a real writer, and I
Speaker 6: don't need y'all validation because y'all gory for that. But
Speaker 6: I understand that. You know, they do this all day long,
Speaker 6: and then celebrities will come in do books, they do
Speaker 6: the press, and then they out. They're like, that's just
Speaker 6: one more notch on their belt. They don't really assume
Speaker 6: the role of author where I could write. I could
Speaker 6: write books until I die, like I would like to.
Speaker 2: It's a good therapy of bad therapy because you have
Speaker 2: to relive a lot of the stuff. I'm sure trauma
Speaker 2: that you had since a kid. So sometimes you like
Speaker 2: you push it out of your brain so you don't
Speaker 2: have to think about it. But when you're writing a book,
Speaker 2: you gotta dive deep into it. It can't just be
Speaker 2: like two pages.
Speaker 6: Like you said, it was traumatic to relive it, but
Speaker 6: I needed to do it so I can heal, Like
Speaker 6: I needed to forgive so I can move on, because
Speaker 6: you know what, that's the thing about forgiveness. It's for you,
Speaker 6: right think it's for the other person. I ain't forgiving them.
Speaker 6: It's what do they say? You know? Revenge is like
Speaker 6: drinking poison and hope, hoping the enemy dies. I needed
Speaker 6: to forgive these people, like all of them, my stepfather,
Speaker 6: the one who got his asked with on the bus
Speaker 6: stop for being racist, Like I needed to just let
Speaker 6: it go, and I want somebody else to read it
Speaker 6: and also let it go, Like your life can be
Speaker 6: so great when you forgive somebody. That doesn't mean you
Speaker 6: got to hang out with them. You don't have to forget.
Speaker 6: I choose to forget. But it just it's freedom.
Speaker 9: I'm realizing forgiveness isn't linear though. No, it's not because
Speaker 9: you got to. You got to remind yourself of ca
Speaker 9: I forgave them, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got and you got to accept it. Acceptance
Speaker 6: is probably one of the hardest things we deal with.
Speaker 6: People always say, love yourself, love yourself. You can love yourself.
Speaker 6: Acceptance is where we thrive, right, being able to say,
Speaker 6: I'm okay with the fact that I'm never gonna be
Speaker 6: a size to again, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 6: that that is freedom for me instead of you know,
Speaker 6: love is beautiful, but love what Tina Turner said, what's
Speaker 6: love got to do with it? I think acceptance has
Speaker 6: been the greatest journey for me. And yeah, I forgave them. People.
Speaker 2: What are you writing the book teach you about illegitimacy.
Speaker 6: You know, that illegitimacy and feeling that those feelings of
Speaker 6: not feeling invalidated are crippling for most people. We all
Speaker 6: battle with it, whether it's because you dark, dark skin,
Speaker 6: or you don't speak English, you got you got an accent,
Speaker 6: you're in a wheelchair. Like, we all struggle with it.
Speaker 6: They can give it a term for every single sector
Speaker 6: of it, but the truth is that we all battle
Speaker 6: with it and we cannot give it to somebody else
Speaker 6: to declare it for us. We cannot. That's my favorite
Speaker 6: scene that Jerry maguire was when Regina King look Cuba
Speaker 6: Gooding in the eye and said, we validate our worth.
Speaker 6: And that was that was like the most powerful thing
Speaker 6: I had seen at that age, because I was much younger.
Speaker 6: You gotta validate your own worth. In comedy, you know,
Speaker 6: people are always saying who they think is funny, who
Speaker 6: is great? Who is you? Cannot anybody else tell you
Speaker 6: who you are because if you let if you give
Speaker 6: them the power to feed you, you give them the
Speaker 6: power to starve you. That validation has to come from
Speaker 6: with them.
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask, you know, one of the producers
Speaker 2: after reading the book was like, she has to hate
Speaker 2: all men, like, damn, they all men did her dirty
Speaker 2: in this book. So how do you feel about men
Speaker 2: after you know them going through the process of a
Speaker 2: lot of men that did you dirty, A lot of
Speaker 2: men that would file to you.
Speaker 6: Well, if you read the book, then you would see
Speaker 6: that I adore my uncles. My uncle Carlos passed away
Speaker 6: and my uncle Raymond. My uncles raised me. My uncles
Speaker 6: together they were a transformer. They all got together and
Speaker 6: they became the father that I needed. And they used
Speaker 6: to be hustlers, they were on the streets, but they
Speaker 6: have always been my heroes. I love men so much.
Speaker 6: I made a great one. My son is an amazing
Speaker 6: human being. And I don't hate men. And I hate
Speaker 6: that the rhetoric, like all of this stuff that goes
Speaker 6: on on social media with men and women, it is
Speaker 6: so toxic and unnecessary. It's just the Biden conquered just
Speaker 6: keeps getting deeper and deeper in terms of what happens
Speaker 6: with our communities. I uphold man and I you know,
Speaker 6: I hold them accountable. But I hold women accountable too.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not I'm not basic, So I don't
Speaker 6: I don't delve in that man. As you know, it's
Speaker 6: some men that are trash. It's a bunch of women
Speaker 6: that are trashed too, you know, it's some non binary
Speaker 6: people that are trash. Yeah, right, So everybody gets.
Speaker 3: It, you know.
Speaker 6: So I don't hate man.
Speaker 2: I will don't move. We got more with Ida Rodriguez.
Speaker 2: When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning
Speaker 2: morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne, the Gud we are
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Ida Rodriguez Charlamagne.
Speaker 9: I think another thing people will learn from it, Like,
Speaker 9: you know, growing up without your father's last name, how
Speaker 9: do you feel after your mom told you why?
Speaker 6: I felt worse because she gave it to me so casually.
Speaker 6: She was so like cavalier about it, but it was
Speaker 6: because that was what she knew. She grew up, she
Speaker 6: didn't have her father's last name. You know. It was
Speaker 6: like that just means you don't have your dad's last name.
Speaker 6: Like it's all good. And for me it was a
Speaker 6: stamp that it made me a victim to I thought
Speaker 6: in my head that means I'm gonna get mistreated. People
Speaker 6: know my father is not around because my idea of
Speaker 6: a daddy was protection. You know, yeah, you know you're
Speaker 6: very good you you you. I don't know if you
Speaker 6: are in real life, but on social media, you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. You know, people do it all for
Speaker 6: the you know. But then because I put some people on,
Speaker 6: I know, some some stories. But the thing was that
Speaker 6: I thought that because that's what I thought a father was.
Speaker 6: It made me feel vulnerable like I was like, now
Speaker 6: anybody can do anything to me, you know whatever, And
Speaker 6: it wasn't true. My grandmother was walking around with that
Speaker 6: gun making sure that she protected us.
Speaker 2: Your story is crazy, even even even having your mama
Speaker 2: as a.
Speaker 6: Whole, like, because you know what, that's what kids would
Speaker 6: do when they when you're not, they see your mom
Speaker 6: and then you know, in the hood, is everything get
Speaker 6: fair game? When you're playing them dozens those kids would
Speaker 6: be like, that's why your pappy got canceled, Like it's
Speaker 6: the kids are evil.
Speaker 9: Crackhead son, the job, Your daddy was a crackhead, Your
Speaker 9: mothery crackhead son, crackheadaughter.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's how we process the pain, that's how we
Speaker 6: deal with it. And when somebody said that, Mama, the
Speaker 6: creepiest thing about the whole thing was that the girl,
Speaker 6: the lady who said my mama was a whole was
Speaker 6: the biggest hole on the block, Like that's you, you know.
Speaker 6: And she was talking about my mom because we she
Speaker 6: thought that because her kids had the same father and
Speaker 6: we didn't, that her she was better than my mom.
Speaker 6: And I was like, how sad. Now that I'm an adult,
Speaker 6: I'm like, what a sad existence that? That's where you
Speaker 6: pop your collar, not something you did positive in the world.
Speaker 6: But my kids got the same daddy and they got
Speaker 6: their father's last name, so I'm better than you. And
Speaker 6: I was like, nah, I was. That's when I started
Speaker 6: snapping and I was like, no, g she's a whole.
Speaker 2: Do you believe a host?
Speaker 6: Well, you know, depends on who you allow. I mean
Speaker 6: I always told my daughter, you determine your whole. Don't
Speaker 6: you let the streets do it. You know what your
Speaker 6: threshold is if we'll start allowing. I mean, that's very patriarchal.
Speaker 6: That's where it's rooted in, and people men get to
Speaker 6: call women holes all day long and assess their value
Speaker 6: while they're out there hoing, spreading diseases, doing all kinds
Speaker 6: of stuff. Not all men, but y'all know ye what
Speaker 6: I'm talking about. So yeah, so I think that if
Speaker 6: you're gonna use holes it, let it be across the board.
Speaker 6: But because we use it, I mean, I'm not getting
Speaker 6: come up here and act like I'm pious, like I'm
Speaker 6: some you know, we don't do that. We been calling
Speaker 6: people hose too, But we talk about dudes like we
Speaker 6: talk about women. Were not. We're not just sitting here.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 6: Women love to do that too, because women, they have
Speaker 6: socialized us to hate each other. So when we we
Speaker 6: love to call other women you know, I'm not like that,
Speaker 6: Yes you are. You've had your moments stop it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I gotta be blyd Like God'll be like, oh hold,
Speaker 9: I'd be like, oh you hit no.
Speaker 6: Man that my partner said, yeah, it's talked about. The
Speaker 6: thing is like do you really care? Like, honestly, the
Speaker 6: thing about social media that's really been my management is
Speaker 6: always like, you're really terrible at social media. And I
Speaker 6: but I'll say this, like I'm always watching people like
Speaker 6: the people who are Like, I'm letting.
Speaker 2: The haters know nobody cares like people.
Speaker 6: Who are, Like I'll show them who you showing. People
Speaker 6: will look at it they'll comment, they'll talk about it,
Speaker 6: and then they move on to the next thing because
Speaker 6: it's they're consuming it, like the ritos. They don't care.
Speaker 6: You put so much effort into shutting your haters down.
Speaker 6: God blessed James Hannah, a brilliant comedian who passed away.
Speaker 6: He used to say people of colors haters are their
Speaker 6: imaginary friends, because it was like they don't exist. He
Speaker 6: was like, it's you know, we put so much, we
Speaker 6: put so much weight on that. Do you really care?
Speaker 6: Is something I don't care? Who's a whole? Like they
Speaker 6: talk about j Lo all the time, and I'm like,
Speaker 6: what does it? How does that affect my food? Like
Speaker 6: how does that affect my mama? Give a damn? Like
Speaker 6: it's it's far. It's for a minute, and then you
Speaker 6: move on. So just remember when you are directing all
Speaker 6: that energy to the people who you really think you're
Speaker 6: shutting down, they don't care. Nobody cares.
Speaker 9: That's right now, it's almost the holidays. These memoirs cause problems.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, how does your family feel about you revealing
Speaker 9: so much.
Speaker 1: In the book.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I think the only people who
Speaker 6: read the book so far my aunt and uncle, the
Speaker 6: normal ones that are in DC, because the half of
Speaker 6: my family is in Florida and the other half is
Speaker 6: in like the DC Virginia and the DMV okay Z ANDV. Yeah,
Speaker 6: they're the normal ones, so they're cool. They all right.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna read the I'm gonna sit with my mom
Speaker 6: and go through the book because I want to make
Speaker 6: sure that my mom is in Yeah. I can't.
Speaker 9: I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't ever want to demonize her. So I want
Speaker 6: her to understand where that came from. And I'm gonna
Speaker 6: read the back first with her because you know, I
Speaker 6: give her grace throughout the book, but I want her
Speaker 6: to know that she's still the queen.
Speaker 2: Wow, are you dreading that conversation?
Speaker 6: It needs to be had. She still has to be accountable.
Speaker 6: She was still my mom, you know, like I still did.
Speaker 6: I still went through a lot of stuff in life,
Speaker 6: you know, as a kid, and she should you know,
Speaker 6: she's she said to me, I'm so sorry for the
Speaker 6: things that I put you through. I was I was
Speaker 6: a kid. But you know, I think it's it's a
Speaker 6: necessary conversation for us to heal. She needs to forgive
Speaker 6: her mother. She's still holding onto things about my grand
Speaker 6: and my grandmother is dead. I'm like, bro, you gotta
Speaker 6: let it go. Like she's she's gone, you know, and
Speaker 6: you just you have to move on.
Speaker 9: I don't think there's too many things that are more
Speaker 9: free and than apology from your parents.
Speaker 6: I got it.
Speaker 9: That's why I say I apologize now as a father
Speaker 9: to you my young kids, just because I know how
Speaker 9: I felt.
Speaker 2: They never hear that from a parent. You feel like mighty,
Speaker 2: did you dirty?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 6: And amnesia? Like mom used to beat my ass, and
Speaker 6: now when I talk about it, she's like, I never
Speaker 6: hit you, And I'm like, what this is revisionist history
Speaker 6: at its best. She used to beat my I mean
Speaker 6: I she she fractured my ankle. I wrote an there
Speaker 6: she did my mother was because my mom got hit
Speaker 6: with an extension chord. So she felt like because she
Speaker 6: hit us with a belt that it wasn't and it wasn't.
Speaker 6: But I was like, yo, and I switched my gun.
Speaker 6: My grandmother we used to and so that's a that's
Speaker 6: a people of color things and Spanish is called la
Speaker 6: ladita and they'd be like and she'll go go get go,
Speaker 6: get your switch. And that was There was no winning
Speaker 6: in that there was not a switch that didn't hurt,
Speaker 6: that didn't exist, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Jesus. All right, the book is out right now,

Speaker 9: Good Morningez. Thank you for pulling up a legitimate kid
Speaker 9: of memoirs out right now.
Speaker 1: Make sure you go pick that up. And we got
Speaker 1: Donkey of Today coming up next.
Speaker 9: Man, I'm gonna tell you about a pastor who is
Speaker 9: spreading more than the good Gospel. His name is Pastor
Speaker 9: Ralph D. West and oh that D might stand for dirty.
Speaker 9: He needs to come to the front of the congregation.
Speaker 9: We would like to have a word with him this morning.
Speaker 9: That's the breakfast club.
Speaker 5: Damn he hogged.
Speaker 2: It's start for Donkey of the King.
Speaker 1: I mean trying to beat donkey today.
Speaker 2: No more.
Speaker 9: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
Speaker 9: not making these people do these.
Speaker 2: Days called donkey of the day. And it really caught
Speaker 2: me off guard.
Speaker 6: Damned Charlamagne who got the donkey out of day today?
Speaker 9: Donkey today for Friday, October nineteenth goes to a Houston
Speaker 9: pastor by the name of Ralph D. West and oh
Speaker 9: that D might stand for dirty. See, most people go
Speaker 9: to church and they expect the pastor to lay hands
Speaker 9: on them. The laying on of hands is both a
Speaker 9: symbolic and formal method of invoking the Holy Spirit, mostly
Speaker 9: during baptisms and confirmations, healing services and blessings.
Speaker 1: Well, Pastor Ralph D.
Speaker 9: And oh that D might stand for dirty, was laying
Speaker 9: more than them holy hands on people in his congregation.
Speaker 1: Let's go to kPr C NBC two. For the report, Police.
Speaker 5: Attorney Sean Murphy is speaking for his client, who a
Speaker 5: jury found contracted genital herpes from Reverend Ralph D. West
Speaker 5: the second after meeting a Facebook as seen here on
Speaker 5: the Church without Wall's website, he's listed as the Eldridge
Speaker 5: campus minister.
Speaker 17: The things that we look at for cases like these
Speaker 17: are essentially four things. If the defendant infected, and how
Speaker 17: can we prove it, did he know he was infected?
Speaker 17: And you know, how do we prove and do we
Speaker 17: have evidence of that.
Speaker 5: Not only does Murphy say they were able to prove
Speaker 5: those facts, but also that wes Lyde when asked about
Speaker 5: having herpes, and that he gave it to his client
Speaker 5: after they had unprotected six in March of twenty eighteen.
Speaker 17: She got an outbreak two or three days later when
Speaker 17: Aiming got tested, and you know, from there able, you know,
Speaker 17: through the medical records, able to identify that he was
Speaker 17: the source of it, in part because she hadn't been
Speaker 17: with anybody else she had had a prior negative test.
Speaker 5: Murphy says subsequent conversation supported the claims.
Speaker 2: When she asks you know where did this come from?
Speaker 17: His response was his son's mother.
Speaker 5: He adds there were also emails between West and his client.
Speaker 17: Where she accuses him of knowing he had it, of
Speaker 17: gave it to her, you know. And there's other allegations
Speaker 17: about not caring about me.
Speaker 2: That kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Ralphie L.
Speaker 9: Douglas West known as Pastor Ralph D and O to
Speaker 9: D definitely stands for disgusting.
Speaker 2: See, most pastors have a spiritual gift.
Speaker 9: A pastor is God gifted to develop relationships with others
Speaker 9: and then assume the responsibility for each member's spiritual welfare.
Speaker 2: You would hope, you.
Speaker 9: Would actually want, you would pray that the pastor spiritual
Speaker 9: gift is indeed a gift that keeps on giving. But
Speaker 9: note I said spiritual gift, not sexual. The sexual gift
Speaker 9: that keeps on giving is herpes. Now I'm not here to.
Speaker 1: Herpee shame anyone. Okay.
Speaker 9: I did some research, and by research, I meant Google,
Speaker 9: and it said over one hundred and ninety five million
Speaker 9: people in America may have general herpees. So drop on
Speaker 9: the clues bombs for all our listeners out there with
Speaker 9: a bad case of the bubble nuts.
Speaker 1: Okay, brothers, how y'all feel sisters? Y'all?
Speaker 13: All?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 9: I see you out there dealing with that herperenata one thousand,
Speaker 9: all right, drop on the clues bombs for all the
Speaker 9: ladies out there dealing with the herperinata one thousand.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's time for heat. It's time for the her.
Speaker 1: It's time for the her.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 9: I know that pastor's love to do beneficial things for
Speaker 9: their congregation see Pastor Ralph D.
Speaker 1: And that D definitely stands for the Testable with doing.
Speaker 9: What we call here at Hethaw missionary Baptist preaching and
Speaker 9: skeeting all right, spending time with his cock, I mean
Speaker 9: flock all right, leading with love, but clearly no glove.
Speaker 9: The man was out here sharing herpes instead of sharing
Speaker 9: the gospel. Do you know this man's church was called
Speaker 9: the Church without walls. I'm not making this up people.
Speaker 9: You heard it in the news report. They were called
Speaker 9: the Church without Walls. I bet the woman that he
Speaker 9: probably shared herpes with wish she didn't have walls either, okay,
Speaker 9: because when that herpies gets inside, said.
Speaker 2: Vagina, where do you think it's gonna go?
Speaker 15: Huh?
Speaker 1: Don't act stupid with me now.
Speaker 9: It hurts when you pee because you got saws all
Speaker 9: on your interario walls on your voba too, but definitely
Speaker 9: on those walls. How convenient for you, pastor to have
Speaker 9: a church without walls, But the woman you infected doesn't
Speaker 9: have that luxury.
Speaker 2: Can I get a bump bump bump from the congregation?
Speaker 9: Put somebody out there right now dealing with a breakout,
Speaker 9: and they understand exactly where I'm coming from.
Speaker 2: Now, I need to ask all my Christians with herpes
Speaker 2: one simple question.
Speaker 1: Do you have faith? Do you believe that you can
Speaker 1: be healed in Jesus' name?
Speaker 9: Do you stand in front of the mirror genitals looking
Speaker 9: like an oscar maya olive loaf and say, heal me
Speaker 9: in Jesus' name. Well, let me be the first to
Speaker 9: tell you. All prayers to heal herpes go to Jesus's
Speaker 9: spam folder. All right, Jesus got much more present issues
Speaker 9: to deal with than the bumps in the alley.
Speaker 2: All right, your bumps into the alley can wait.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 1: This is what I find.
Speaker 9: Extremely interesting about this story, and it's something all God
Speaker 9: fearing individuals can learn from. All of this could have
Speaker 9: been avoided if all parties involved were actually living how
Speaker 9: the Bible says you should live. Ain't that something? If
Speaker 9: the pastor was simply living by the word of God,
Speaker 9: he wouldn't be out here tithing and offering herpes to
Speaker 9: people in his church.
Speaker 1: What's that saying?
Speaker 9: Sin is not simply making bad choices on mistakes. Sin
Speaker 9: is having the desire in our hearts to do the
Speaker 9: will of the enemy of God. You chose to do
Speaker 9: the will of the enemy of God. Now they say,
Speaker 9: no matter the decisions you've made, Jesus loves you and
Speaker 9: will forgive you. It's a beautiful thing. But always remember
Speaker 9: God forgives herpes.
Speaker 2: Don't all right?
Speaker 9: You gotta pay this woman two point five million dollars.
Speaker 9: You know how much vowel tracks you can buy with
Speaker 9: two point five million dollars. More importantly, Pastor Ralph D
Speaker 9: and the D definitely stands for this nigga. Do you
Speaker 9: know how much relief two point five million could provide
Speaker 9: the members of your church? How many people in your
Speaker 9: church praying for a blessing? And you out here spreading glitter? Yeah,
Speaker 9: herpes is glitter because the comedian name Dmitri Martin once said,
Speaker 9: the thing about glitter is if you get it on,
Speaker 9: you be prepared to have it on you forever, because
Speaker 9: glitter doesn't go away. Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.
Speaker 9: So if glitter is the herpes of craft supplies, then
Speaker 9: herpes is just glitter. And that's what you was out
Speaker 9: here putting on people. Do you know when people ask
Speaker 9: to describe you in one word from now on, that
Speaker 9: word is gonna be herpes. Personally, I think when you
Speaker 9: give someone herpes and you get charged for giving them herpes,
Speaker 9: and you and you have to give them two point
Speaker 9: five million dollars or any type of settlement like that,
Speaker 9: you should have to walk around in public with her
Speaker 9: past belt, okay, from the makers of her mess.
Speaker 2: You should have to wear her past belt.
Speaker 9: Hit me out, okay, same concept, same look, same feel,
Speaker 9: same H is just covered in tiny little clusters of
Speaker 9: rubies all over the H to symbolize outbreaks.
Speaker 1: Okay, and that lets everybody know that it's it's time
Speaker 1: for the it's time. Please get past the ralph d
Speaker 1: west to sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
Speaker 8: Oh no, you are.
Speaker 2: Of the day, dogee all the day?
Speaker 12: Yee?
Speaker 2: Now, Charlomagne, I gotta make one correction what you said.
Speaker 2: The D stands for this IgA it's this, nigga, not this.
Speaker 1: I said this.
Speaker 2: No, you didn't say this. I mean you got a list.
Speaker 9: I can't understand what you're saying. Yourt messed up this morning.
Speaker 9: Now I'm my thost is better. Now you can get
Speaker 9: with this or you can get with that. Okay, all right?
Speaker 9: Well when you got the kind of tongue I got.
Speaker 9: Anytime you say anything like this that it all sounds
Speaker 9: like I'm staying there with a d It sounds like
Speaker 9: you're spitting two am. All right, Well, thank you Charlamagne
Speaker 9: for that donkey. Today, when we come back South Carolina,

Speaker 9: like addiction issues, and you know, they in the periods
Speaker 9: of like breaking up and trying to figure it out.
Speaker 9: I would go back to my grandmother's house. You know,
Speaker 9: she was a little older raising me. But it was like, yo,
Speaker 9: all right, I got three rules, school, Church, Sunday dinner,
Speaker 9: you know, and I'm just picking up all of these
Speaker 9: different personalities that I want to become and don't want
Speaker 9: to become. Essentially everybody becomes, you know, an experience on
Speaker 9: the album when you talk about rapping, you talk about
Speaker 9: the way that you rap. You don't really hear that nowadays?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 2: Does that bother you? Deter you from from from you
Speaker 2: spitting because you know you don't really hear that much.
Speaker 8: I used to be pissed off about it, but I
Speaker 8: feel like my purpose and my story is just a
Speaker 8: little different, you know. I feel like I'm meant to
Speaker 8: be in this error just because maybe because it's lacking
Speaker 8: in this time, and that's my job to kind of
Speaker 8: carry on tradition in a way. I used to be
Speaker 8: upset about it, but it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 9: I disagree with what it be said, though, only because
Speaker 9: when you look at the last decade or so with
Speaker 9: hip hop, the top three rappers are all literally yeah
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, and that's Cole, Kendrick and Drake.
Speaker 2: And then you still got your wallets and your big Sean.
Speaker 9: You had your nipsies, you know, you had sure like
Speaker 9: all of those people rahaps these snaps, Like I think
Speaker 9: all of those people dope Carolina.
Speaker 2: So I just think sometimes it's just a matter of time.
Speaker 2: I agree with that with that more have you have
Speaker 2: you had your I made it moment yet I think
Speaker 2: one of them I had.
Speaker 8: I had a few moments that I'm like proud of.
Speaker 8: I think like touring with like Nas and Lauren Hills,
Speaker 8: it was like a good one for me. Yeah, just
Speaker 8: the experience of it was like, it's dope.
Speaker 9: You said that on the album and I'm like, I
Speaker 9: missed when he was on tour with Lauren Hill. Was
Speaker 9: the line when somebody missed that show?
Speaker 5: When when she.
Speaker 2: Had to do more songs, performed the whole album Jesus
Speaker 2: to come out.
Speaker 8: What was the you said you used to I used
Speaker 8: to watch Sister Acts. My cousin passed away, like on
Speaker 8: the field trip. So I wrapped about it on the
Speaker 8: album and I remember everybody like just going to see him.
Speaker 8: I didn't want to see him like that. This was
Speaker 8: like my best friend. So I was like, heyo, I'm
Speaker 8: gonna watch this movie. I'm gonna sit here and watch
Speaker 8: this movie. I'm ten years old in the crib watching
Speaker 8: this movie by myself. It kind of helped just get
Speaker 8: me through that moment with that trauma. So yeah, when
Speaker 8: I remember telling her about it on the tour, oh wow,
Speaker 8: and just kind of she just kind of helped me
Speaker 8: in that way. So I kind of felt like, you know,
Speaker 8: it was it was, it was, It was a perfect time.
Speaker 8: That was something I was running away from. A lot
Speaker 8: of the stuff you hear on the album is like
Speaker 8: a lot of just real life situations that I was
Speaker 8: running from and I just finally had to like look
Speaker 8: in the mirror and be like, yo, it's time.
Speaker 9: So was it that moment on tour with Lauren remembering
Speaker 9: yourself watching Sister that made you finally deal.
Speaker 1: With the passing?
Speaker 8: Absolutely? Absolutely? This this is an album that I wanted
Speaker 8: to put out a mirror tell you, this is like
Speaker 8: one of the albums I wanted to put out when
Speaker 8: I first came out, but I don't. I don't think
Speaker 8: I was like mature enough to tell it the way
Speaker 8: that I'm telling it now. When I first came in,
Speaker 8: I was, you know, like a wide eyed child. But
Speaker 8: now I'm just in a place where I'm like, you know,
Speaker 8: I'm matured enough. I'm thirty five now, so it's like.
Speaker 6: Okay, and you still look younger.
Speaker 9: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Was it growth? Did you do some work on yourself?
Speaker 8: Like absolutely, therapy for sure? For sure, Like you know,
Speaker 8: you're not in control of anything for real, You're under
Speaker 8: God's law and you got to find a way to
Speaker 8: fit into that.
Speaker 1: And I had to.
Speaker 8: I had to, you know, figure that out, and I
Speaker 8: just found found the courage and tell the story. Like
Speaker 8: even when you listen to like the throw of the album,
Speaker 8: it's like my mom, you know, my mom is like
Speaker 8: yelling at a boyfriend, but you know, and it's and
Speaker 8: it's it's a way that I never wanted the world
Speaker 8: to see my mom. So it's like, all right, that's
Speaker 8: the first step. The thing that I fear the most,
Speaker 8: got to open the album, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: So God worked in a way to where it just
Speaker 8: fit pertrictly on the album and open up the album.
Speaker 6: So do you have a favorite song on their or
Speaker 6: what song means the most? So yeah, I like that
Speaker 6: what song makes you most emotional?
Speaker 8: Most emotional? I think it's the intro about class, worry
Speaker 8: about the classic, like just talking about all of that stuff.
Speaker 8: And I remember going to like my neighborhood and I
Speaker 8: remember he Wamir pulled up one day and he was like, Yo,
Speaker 8: ain't a windows on these buildings. And the whole time
Speaker 8: I lived there, I never really noticed that because it
Speaker 8: was like normal to me. So those things, those little
Speaker 8: things on the album was like things that I was
Speaker 8: scared to face once again. And I kind of like
Speaker 8: just put it together, kind of got it right.
Speaker 9: That's a great record. And you say in the hook,
Speaker 9: you say, I'm trying to get my people right. But
Speaker 9: y'all worried about the classic explain that because I got
Speaker 9: some thoughts. For me, it was it's like, Yo, I'm
Speaker 9: like I'm going through like different things. I'm like mature
Speaker 9: and I'm like finding myself. I'm going through like a
Speaker 9: whole bunch of stuff, just family wise, career wise as well.
Speaker 9: And while I'm going through these things, you get people
Speaker 9: like yo when the album coming. When the album drop,
Speaker 9: it like did you buy the last album?
Speaker 8: So I'm going through this stuff, like through these different things,
Speaker 8: and that's what that's what inspired like the hook, And
Speaker 8: I'm just like seeing people like, you know, not to
Speaker 8: be dark, but I'm just seeing people die young and
Speaker 8: hearing about yo, people that I saw growing up like
Speaker 8: leaving leaving us. So that was one of the things
Speaker 8: that I just wanted to address. And it's like, yo,
Speaker 8: I got like real life issues. And it's crazy because
Speaker 8: I feel like I've made my best body of work,
Speaker 8: not trying to make my best body of work.
Speaker 9: Yeah, because I would think getting your people right would
Speaker 9: be part of you making a classic record.
Speaker 2: Like if you're make a classic and it takes off, that's.
Speaker 8: Enough more money for sure.
Speaker 1: You know, so you kind of do got to focus
Speaker 1: on the album.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, you do, you do. But I feel like the
Speaker 8: kind of person I am, the kind of artist I am,
Speaker 8: you got to live life as well. You got to
Speaker 8: live life, and you know.
Speaker 6: That's what creates absolutely that class people. I mean, I
Speaker 6: don't I would imagine. I'm not an artist, never been
Speaker 6: a comedian. Yeah, but I'm saying like in form of music,
Speaker 6: like I mean, I spit it a little upit of
Speaker 6: the buzz too, but you know we're not need get.
Speaker 2: Here all right, Wait, we'p being on anything. It's like, right, no,
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: I think you you would have to go through live
Speaker 6: life and go through your trying times and challenges. That's
Speaker 6: what makes the classic nobody goes in the studio like, yo,
Speaker 6: I'm in the class of the day.
Speaker 2: You don't want to tell the people tell you to.
Speaker 8: Be moved by the spirit man, to be moved by
Speaker 8: something bigger than you, you know, and me a lot
Speaker 8: of times, it's all about just carrying the integrity in there.
Speaker 8: Like I read something like that Quincy Jones said, He's like, yo,
Speaker 8: when you think about money while you're creating, God walks
Speaker 8: out of the rooms. You know, so you got to
Speaker 8: you gotta keep that first, you gotta keep you know,
Speaker 8: your story. The story is the most important. I feel
Speaker 8: like your story is a superpower. And definitely I've never
Speaker 8: really felt like that until.
Speaker 12: It is out.
Speaker 2: We got more with Nick Grant. When we come back,
Speaker 2: it's the breakfast Club. Good morning, want everybody in Steve
Speaker 2: j n V. Charlamagne to God. We are the breakfast
Speaker 2: Club with kicking it with Nick Grant, Charlamagne.
Speaker 1: Let's let's go to know your worth.
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 2: Another great record is that something you have to tell yourself.
Speaker 8: Not constantly, but it was something like like I felt
Speaker 8: like I have to like celebrate myself a little more
Speaker 8: because it's like work, work, work, figure out my problems,
Speaker 8: figure out the problems of the family, figure out all
Speaker 8: this other you just having so much on my shoulders
Speaker 8: to it was like, you know, yes, Like then when
Speaker 8: I wrote it, I was like, Yo, it's something about
Speaker 8: a black man just saying knowing you're worth and yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, celebrating yourself and patting yourself on the back. Yes,
Speaker 8: the smallest thing, because you still celebrate the smallest thing
Speaker 8: in your journey.
Speaker 2: So cause women say that often, you don't really hear
Speaker 2: men say that, like we're for sure sure, But that's
Speaker 2: that's the problem.
Speaker 6: No, it ain't no little sassy know it.
Speaker 2: Ain't you gotta know your worth.
Speaker 6: Ain't nothing sassy about knowing your worth, just say it's
Speaker 6: just that women. We like to say it a lot.
Speaker 6: And sometimes women say it and don't even know they worth.
Speaker 6: They just shouted because it's something to be said now.
Speaker 6: But not knowing you worth, that's but all human beings
Speaker 6: like you have.
Speaker 8: To know for sure.
Speaker 2: I want to jump to the record. Heaven, MM where
Speaker 2: did tweet? Where you get tweeted from?
Speaker 8: Now? DM tweet? You know, I'm like a huge fan
Speaker 8: of tweet, like the whole I always say, like, yo,
Speaker 8: when I was growing up, if I would signing to anybody,
Speaker 8: it'd have been Missy Tweet. Yeah, just that, just that
Speaker 8: whole camp just so innovative, so creative, and man, I
Speaker 8: just loved her voice. Southern Hummer Bird. Southern Hummer Bird
Speaker 8: is like a classic to me. So I just DMed her.
Speaker 8: She hit me back like, Yo, you're incredible. I would
Speaker 8: love to Oh wow, ain't boy the studio this black woman? Wow,
Speaker 8: you know, real black woman, Like i't even finish a
Speaker 8: song one of them got so yeah, no good energy,
Speaker 8: special person.
Speaker 1: I love Tweet. So what's the story you're trying to
Speaker 1: tell on Heaven? You're trying to convic the.
Speaker 8: Story on Heaven is basically it's still the theme with
Speaker 8: the album, and still align with the album, even when
Speaker 8: I start with the first verses like damn you brave
Speaker 8: saying you never sold crack in the funny industry where
Speaker 8: everything is in act, you know, you know, my whole
Speaker 8: story was like man, I would get an interviews in
Speaker 8: line and say I act like this perfect person, and
Speaker 8: it wasn't you know what I'm saying, because I was
Speaker 8: afraid to see who really was, you know, judge me,
Speaker 8: you know, but I think that was just a young
Speaker 8: thing and I got. I'm not perfect, I got, I
Speaker 8: got a lot of things that I'm working on.
Speaker 2: And you know you're worth for sure? Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 9: So is that why grandma said is wouldn't know your work?
Speaker 9: Because absolutely go hand in hand, like your grandmother had
Speaker 9: absolutely for a million, a million percent. Like even with
Speaker 9: my cousin from the beginning, like you're in the house,
Speaker 9: it's like certain things that trigger.
Speaker 8: Certain ones, trigger certain words and kind of yeah, helps
Speaker 8: the album flow. You're doing homework, doing this own.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not for really over there once you know, he
Speaker 6: listened to every song on So tell me about heaven like.
Speaker 2: Lyrics, like so what you said looking out come on?
Speaker 9: Are they putting pressure on you to put it off
Speaker 9: for South Carolina? Oh man, it's a good question. I'm
Speaker 9: putting pressure on myself.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 8: It's a lot of people that still don't know from
Speaker 8: South Carolina, even though I waved the flag so heavily,
Speaker 8: and you want influenced me with that in a way,
Speaker 8: like even with coming out, like yo, you got a
Speaker 8: whole state to yourself, like yeah, you gotta do that,
Speaker 8: and those these are like my experiences, like even when
Speaker 8: I went home, I shot a movie it's always love.
Speaker 8: I shot a movie, like a short comedy for the album,
Speaker 8: and just like the people and all the memories and
Speaker 8: all the different things. And you got a few people
Speaker 8: that's like, man, keep you know, repping the city, refer
Speaker 8: South Carolina. Right, you're the one that kind of that's
Speaker 8: kind of like a thing that keeps me going when
Speaker 8: I hear that for your parents, Yeah, it was, of
Speaker 8: course it was. I threw a little bit of like,
Speaker 8: you know, stuff about the music industry and stuff that
Speaker 8: I was going through in it. But yeah, it was, yeah,
Speaker 8: for sure.
Speaker 9: Because you don't if you feel you heard Mike's album
Speaker 9: and he got something something junkies and he did that,
Speaker 9: you know, basically he was saying that, you know that
Speaker 9: there's no uh, I don't want to say celebratory way,
Speaker 9: but when people are addicted, it's actually an addiction, like
Speaker 9: it's something that's not something that should be looked down upon.
Speaker 8: But sure, absolutely it's it's you know, disease, you know
Speaker 8: what I'm saying. So like for me, it was, it
Speaker 8: changed my life. I didn't see I didn't see it
Speaker 8: that way at the time, Like I didn't see like
Speaker 8: my mom like I would be angry a lot of
Speaker 8: times because the back and forth. So we went on
Speaker 8: council blessings, like, Yo, I went to thirteen schools by
Speaker 8: the age of fourteen. Yeah, just because of just because
Speaker 8: my mom's addiction and my dad trying to work it
Speaker 8: out and arguing and and you know, as I grew
Speaker 8: older and kind of found myself, I was like, yo,
Speaker 8: you know, these people are still human and they got
Speaker 8: their own issues, they got their own things that they're fighting,
Speaker 8: and I had a better understanding of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who was you mad at? Don't catch this fade man?
Speaker 2: What number was that?
Speaker 6: I only got to listen to three sounds?
Speaker 2: Number twenty? You know, so who was you trying to fight?

Speaker 9: came back and said, which one of you try to
Speaker 9: catch his feet?
Speaker 8: And even like on the second verse I talked about
Speaker 8: like my first fight, got you got you just fighting
Speaker 8: somebody And I went in the house crying and my
Speaker 8: dad was like, crying, you wanted to fight?

Speaker 2: wouldn't get angry. Okay, okay, that was.
Speaker 1: A childhood Yeah, that was like once in a lifetime.
Speaker 9: For Another common thing throughout the album is you keep
Speaker 9: repeating that you you're a threat to people.
Speaker 2: You feel like people look at you as a threat.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Lyrics, Yeah, lyrically. I think a lot of people stay
Speaker 8: away from me.
Speaker 9: Was there any particular moments that made you realize, like, oh,
Speaker 9: they really scared of me.
Speaker 8: It's I've been on record, won't names. I've been on
Speaker 8: records with like people that probably loving respect because the
Speaker 8: verse is better when it comes out. I don't hear

Speaker 2: Life.
Speaker 9: Instead, be the person you wish they were, Be the
Speaker 9: person who brings only positive thoughts and good vibes into
