Speaker 9: Achilles injury that fast. Come on, man, all right, what up, Taz?
Speaker 11: What's going on?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 10: The Secret Service open fire you soday. I don't know
Speaker 10: if you guys saw that all over the news.
Speaker 11: Listen to the report.
Speaker 13: The Secret Service agent opened fire last night after encountering
Speaker 13: three people who are allegedly trying to break into an
Speaker 13: unmarked Secret Service vehicle in Washington. Source to say this
Speaker 13: agent is assigned to protect President Biden's granddaughter Naomi, who.
Speaker 12: Was not with the agent when the incident occurred.
Speaker 13: A spokesperson for the Secret Services, no one was struck
Speaker 13: and the alleged offenders fled the scene.
Speaker 9: Oh, the Secret Service did their job. I didn't know
Speaker 9: they could open fire just for, you know, somebody trying
Speaker 9: to break into a car, break it.
Speaker 2: To a car. That's what I was going to ask.
Speaker 5: But not only that.
Speaker 8: Secret Service supposed to be like the best shooters out there.
Speaker 8: So the fact that there was three of them and
Speaker 8: nobody got hit kind of concerns me a little bit too.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I thought of that too. He I was like, it
Speaker 11: seemed like they would have.
Speaker 2: Hit somebody, especially what maybe they wasn't trying to hit him.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 11: Well, the three people are still flaeing in a red car.
Speaker 10: And just to give you some additional facts, Washington has
Speaker 10: seen a significant rise in carjackings and car thefts just
Speaker 10: this year long. Police have reported seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 10: car jackings this year. More than six thousand reports are
Speaker 10: stolen vehicles. So this is a real issue. They've also
Speaker 10: had some previously some representatives who also you know, have
Speaker 10: had their cars broken into by armed assailants.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 10: But it's a lot going on in Washington. They said
Speaker 10: the rise of crime has been up more than forty
Speaker 10: percent just this year long.
Speaker 9: So who investigates the secret Service because the story doesn't
Speaker 9: quite sound right, like, you know, it feels like it
Speaker 9: would require just a little bit more peeking behind the
Speaker 9: curtain just to see what actually happened in this situation,
Speaker 9: you know what I mean. Somebody trying to break into
Speaker 9: a car, y'all decide to shoot, nobody gets hit, and the.
Speaker 2: People get away.
Speaker 9: It's a little a little bit of an investigation, a
Speaker 9: little bit concerned a little bit.
Speaker 2: Let's just see if this just holds up.
Speaker 10: That's all that's all they did say they are investigating,
Speaker 10: but like you said, who is investigating them?
Speaker 11: And then who's investigating the investigators?
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, when they say they'd be investigated, who's investigating?
Speaker 11: Right, Well, it just says authorities. Authorities are that.
Speaker 2: That just means they're investigating who did the robbery? Who
Speaker 2: is a red car? That's what they're looking at.
Speaker 9: And then when they say protecting Biden's granddaughter, granddaughter, but
Speaker 9: the granddaughter wasn't there.
Speaker 2: Right, that's what say, So why would you open fire
Speaker 2: unless they were open firing on you?
Speaker 9: This is why you gotta have an investigation. The's one
Speaker 9: of them stories that if I was to tell it,
Speaker 9: people wouldn't be holding it, you know, saying.
Speaker 2: People be asking questions.
Speaker 8: That's how I feel when I heard When I heard it,
Speaker 8: I just feel like Secret Service they're trained, you know,
Speaker 8: supposed to be the elite, and if they're shooting, they
Speaker 8: should be hitting the target. And this is why it's
Speaker 8: important to read too, because you see the headline, right,
Speaker 8: this headline is secret Service agent protecting Biden's granddaughter opens fire.
Speaker 8: But y'all telling me that the granddaughter wasn't even she wasn't.
Speaker 2: It was just a call.
Speaker 9: They just was trying to break into the car. But
Speaker 9: all of these headlines make it seem like they were
Speaker 9: protecting the granddaughter. The granddaughter was there in the moments.
Speaker 9: They were really.
Speaker 2: Protecting the Ford Explorer or whatever type of car it was.
Speaker 10: Maybe they thought, maybe they would they could do something
Speaker 10: to this floor. I don't know, put put something in
Speaker 10: the bomb.
Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I got this.
Speaker 2: I need, I need, I need a more thoroughly instigation.
Speaker 10: Well, hopefully, hopefully the Metropolitan Police Department can use some information,
Speaker 10: because that's what they said they're doing. They are investigating,
Speaker 10: and the facts and evidence in the case would be
Speaker 10: independently reviewed by the United States Attorney's Office.
Speaker 11: So we'll see how they work out. They couldn't find
Speaker 11: crack in the White House, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: Hold on now, I'm looking at it now.
Speaker 9: And the API says the agents assigned and protect Naomi
Speaker 9: Biden were out with her in the Georgetown neighborhood late
Speaker 9: Sunday when they saw the three people breaking a window
Speaker 9: of the park and unoccupied that suv.
Speaker 2: So she with them and not with me. I'll say
Speaker 2: she wasn't well, she wasn't in the car. What car?
Speaker 2: The car they was breaking into. There was no threat
Speaker 2: to her.
Speaker 8: That's what they were saying, that they were breaking into
Speaker 8: a car, that she wasn't there that meeting there meeting
Speaker 8: in the car. There was no threat to the young lady.
Speaker 8: M I investigated, inspect the gadget. They just need to
Speaker 8: see a little water. That's all right, Well that is.
Speaker 2: Front page news. We see you out there at the
Speaker 2: rock the bells cruise.
Speaker 11: Yes, I want a cruise right now, literally rocking back

Speaker 14: What up?
Speaker 2: Getting off your chest? Hey?
Speaker 14: So I just wanted to speak in reference to the
Speaker 14: shooting when it comes to Secret Service, so I'm I'm
Speaker 14: there for it, and I used to be stationed up
Speaker 14: that way. So they treat those vehicles as if they're
Speaker 14: government property. So like if you try to fill a
Speaker 14: government flank, like on a base, gonna shoot at you
Speaker 14: because you're going near with that property.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking.
Speaker 9: I'm seeing the details now they're saying that it was
Speaker 9: the vehicle was part of the protective detail for President Biden,
Speaker 9: your granddaughter.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so they gonna shoot that with You can't you
Speaker 14: can't even really supposed to go.
Speaker 8: Near those vehicles, man, Nah, I get a plane, because
Speaker 8: you could take a plane and crash into anything. But
Speaker 8: and the fact that they missed though, that that's kind
Speaker 8: of scary too, right, because they Secret Service they.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe they tried to miss. Maybe they weren't trying
Speaker 2: to hit them.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think they were probably you know, it's like
Speaker 14: those warning shots, Yeah, just to get you away.
Speaker 8: I'm shocked that they let him get away though, but
Speaker 8: they probably couldn't leave by his daughter to apprehend him,
Speaker 8: so they you know, they still got to protect Biden's daughter.
Speaker 2: It ain't just them. This is a detail. How many
Speaker 2: people think it wasn't on that detail?
Speaker 8: Probably probably three or three vehicles, four vehicle vehicles. You
Speaker 8: ever seen Have you ever seen a secret service detail
Speaker 8: for a granddaughter though?

Speaker 8: five one oh five to one. All right, well, there's
Speaker 8: more information that that came out about Tamar Braxton and
Speaker 8: Kashan and I ain't no warrants.
Speaker 2: That's what I'll be wondering. We'll discuss though. All right,
Speaker 2: we'll get into that.
Speaker 8: Next is the Breakfast Club on b E T the
Speaker 8: Breakfast Club, stop it please, lyrics.
Speaker 2: Morning everybody, Charlamagne to god. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Yes, indeed nine Grammy nominations.
Speaker 8: Yeah, salutism and let's get to the rooms. Let's tall
Speaker 8: Tamar Braxton.
Speaker 2: Names or you've gossip? Beat? Is the rumor report? I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess we're on the Breakfast Club. This is where
Speaker 2: the tea spells right right now.
Speaker 8: Yesterday were reported about Tamar Braxton performing and her inviting
Speaker 8: Krashaan Rock to come on.
Speaker 2: Stage with her.
Speaker 8: Allegedly, there was an altercation after she performed, and they're
Speaker 8: saying that her backup singer slash hairstylist got punched in
Speaker 8: the face of end and chipped his tooth.
Speaker 2: Well, she chipped his tooth. She chipped his tooth allegedly.
Speaker 8: So now Tamar Braxton is actually speaking out of what
Speaker 8: actually happened.
Speaker 24: When I say what happened to him, he got us
Speaker 24: alted at my show, and it was by Kushon. Number one,
Speaker 24: I care about my team. They're all of my friends.
Speaker 24: And Kushan was definitely someone that I invited, someone that
Speaker 24: I actually, you know, looked at from Afar as like
Speaker 24: a younger sister. She's from Baltimore, and then she was rowdy.
Speaker 24: You know, I didn't judge her because of that. You know,
Speaker 24: I felt for her on so many occasions, and I
Speaker 24: just felt like, oh, this was somebody I wanted to
Speaker 24: meet to, you know, possibly take under my wing. And
Speaker 24: so that's really all it was. I didn't call Kushon
Speaker 24: to open up for me, but when she was in
Speaker 24: my dressing room, we do a torque off portion, right,
Speaker 24: and I was like, oh, it'll be cool if you
Speaker 24: if the DJ played is a vibe and you came
Speaker 24: out and did a vibe like the people, you know,
Speaker 24: Baltimore sisters. And that's really what I was thinking.
Speaker 9: How come we even never seeing Krishan rock and handcuffs,
Speaker 9: like all this fighting she supposedly be doing but never
Speaker 9: getting locked up. Is it because she's a woman, Because
Speaker 9: folks feel sorry for her because mentally and emotionally you
Speaker 9: can clearly see that you know she's unstable.
Speaker 2: Like, what is it?
Speaker 9: Because if she's putting hands on people like this, only
Speaker 9: one or two things gonna happen. She's gonna end up
Speaker 9: in jail or somebody end up hurting her in a
Speaker 9: real way. And I wonder why do people keep going
Speaker 9: to social media with these statements. Go to law enforcement,
Speaker 9: Tell law enforcement what it is so she can get arrested.
Speaker 9: Because as long as they are no consequences of the
Speaker 9: air actions, she's gonna keep going.
Speaker 8: Well, I think what happened was I think somebody said
Speaker 8: that it didn't happen, so they're saying that it did.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 8: We actually hear from the gentleman that got allegedly punched
Speaker 8: in the face. He was actually at the dentist's office
Speaker 8: at that time getting his teeth fixed, and he was
Speaker 8: on live.
Speaker 12: What's happened to him?
Speaker 21: For no reason?
Speaker 16: I was attacked for no reasons.
Speaker 12: And then she's telling me, don't get on live.
Speaker 25: But no, like all the assumptions on how people feel
Speaker 25: and what people think they know, I am not gonna
Speaker 25: hear right now.
Speaker 16: I have to get my teeth fixed.
Speaker 25: My teeth have to be fixed. And that's what's happening
Speaker 25: right now. So don't kid only line saying what didn't happen.
Speaker 25: It didn't happen, And no, I'm not going to show
Speaker 25: my face. My face is tow us.
Speaker 16: So right now I have to.
Speaker 12: Get teeth sticks.
Speaker 23: That someone damage.
Speaker 11: The anger or whatever the issue was wasn't towards me.
Speaker 25: So that's why I'm saying I was attacked for no any.
Speaker 2: Saying stop going live. I agree, go to the police.
Speaker 9: You can go to the you can go live after
Speaker 9: you go to the police and go on live and
Speaker 9: tell everybody you went to the police.
Speaker 2: But Tamar, need to go to the police. What's the
Speaker 2: person name.
Speaker 5: Who got it?
Speaker 2: James, right, James Wright.
Speaker 9: Need to go to the police, like you know, like
Speaker 9: go to the police and report these alleged crimes because

Speaker 9: like it until you know that person is being ready
Speaker 9: with you and yours.
Speaker 2: I don't think she said she was like.

Speaker 8: kind of be like a bigger sister.

Speaker 8: put it back in your systems.
Speaker 2: Up and Kobe was still out for a year. What

Speaker 2: but he came back faster. No, yeah, he was about right.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Who I don't know who they?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's I'm asking. All right, Well we'll see. I'm a
Speaker 2: Giants fan.
Speaker 5: So it is what it is.
Speaker 2: Man, All right, let's jump right into it.
Speaker 8: Let's talk about the Mississippi man that was buried without
Speaker 8: the family's knowledge.
Speaker 11: Yeah, remember we talked about this.
Speaker 10: Attorney Crumb called into the show and explained, you know
Speaker 10: what happened with Dexter Wade where there was an update. Now,
Speaker 10: just to refresh everyone's memory, that is the guy that
Speaker 10: died after being hit by police suv by an off
Speaker 10: duty officer.
Speaker 11: He was buried and did not let the mother know.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 10: His body was exhumed on yesterday, and once again they
Speaker 10: screwed over this family. Guys, they did not notify the
Speaker 10: family they give them the correct time. While Dexter ray
Speaker 10: Waits remains were released on Monday, his family said officials
Speaker 10: failed to honor the agreed upon time approved by the
Speaker 10: county attorney for exooming the body. It happened hours before
Speaker 10: it was supposed to happen. So the family is pissed
Speaker 10: because once again they took something from her. Let's listen
Speaker 10: to missus Wade what she had to say.
Speaker 2: Y'all talk him out the ground. Y'all put him in
Speaker 2: the ground, but not my permission. But I don't have
Speaker 2: no permission.
Speaker 23: That's how the system went.
Speaker 7: That's what I'm living and I'm living in Mississippi and
Speaker 7: this is what I got to day all with that, I.
Speaker 5: Don't even matter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's horrible, man.
Speaker 9: You know we always say that, you know, people should
Speaker 9: be able to rest in peace. But it's not just
Speaker 9: the person that's passed away, you know, what about you know,
Speaker 9: the person's family. You know, the person's family needs peace
Speaker 9: of mind too. You can't have peace of mind if
Speaker 9: you got to constantly go through this.
Speaker 2: I just listen to what she said, buryed him, dug
Speaker 2: his body up, buried him again. Like damn.
Speaker 10: Well, they are doing an independent optopsy to see, you know,
Speaker 10: what happened with mter Wade. They certainly don't want to
Speaker 10: just take the police's word for but that is just
Speaker 10: absolutely disrespectful, you know, not have their family, you know,
Speaker 10: be able to be there. The minister was there, you know,
Speaker 10: wanted to be there, you know, as to show some
Speaker 10: type of decency and respect. So this is just sad
Speaker 10: to hear all the way around.
Speaker 2: Absolutely right. Well, let's talk about HONDI, you know.
Speaker 10: Just want to give an update on this. You know,
Speaker 10: we hear a lot about strikes and people want to
Speaker 10: know what happens after. So this is a win for
Speaker 10: those that did go on strike. Automaker Honda joined Honda
Speaker 10: and Toyota and raising factory worker wages after United Auto
Speaker 10: Workers reached their agreement with Detroit Automakers. They said it
Speaker 10: we'll raise the factory workers paid by twenty five percent
Speaker 10: in twenty twenty eight, matching the general wage increase one
Speaker 10: by the UAW during that period. So about one hundred
Speaker 10: and forty six thousand members are voting on new contracts
Speaker 10: or general motives as well Ford and Jeep, which will
Speaker 10: give them a twenty five percent raise over the next
Speaker 10: four years. So this is a good thing on cost
Speaker 10: of living. It's fac to then workers will get about
Speaker 10: thirty three percent raise. So just some good news on
Speaker 10: you know what actually happens after the strike, you know
Speaker 10: happens they'll be able to get these companies up to pay.
Speaker 8: We're happy for the auto workers. That's right for Luthio absolutely.
Speaker 8: All right, Well that is Front Page News.
Speaker 2: Take it tis absolutely and.
Speaker 9: Make sure you subscribed to Techling figure Outs podcast. It's

Speaker 24: Yeah, man, thank you.
Speaker 2: Thank you very black thought.
Speaker 5: I'm great, I'm great. I feel great this morning.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 8: I've got an amazing book called The Upcycled Self. What
Speaker 8: does that title meet?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Essentially, it's about, you know, putting those parts of our
Speaker 1: of our of ourselves, of our of our past. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, that are no longer going to service,
Speaker 1: are no longer going to service in the same way,
Speaker 1: to to a different use, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: to a better use.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So that's that's what it's about. Really, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a self help memoir of sorts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the art of becoming who we are.
Speaker 9: I always wonder why did it take us so long
Speaker 9: to discover who we actually are?
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, it's it's it's a process, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's valleys and peaks, and I think it's uh,
Speaker 1: you know you you you you arrive at and understanding
Speaker 1: of who you are, you know, uh, over time.
Speaker 5: So it's really no shortcut, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: It's a It's a lot of people that think you
Speaker 5: can go from A to Z, but you gotta go B.
Speaker 2: C, D, E, F G first.
Speaker 9: And it teaches you too that you know, everything is parallel,
Speaker 9: like there's really nothing behind you absolutely.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and and and this book is about that too.
Speaker 1: It's about you know, accepting uh the present, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's just you know, living, uh, being
Speaker 1: more intentional.
Speaker 5: About about your presence. So yeah, that's that's that's why
Speaker 5: I'm at with it.
Speaker 8: Could you get a chance to deal with all the
Speaker 8: trauma before you put it in his book? Or was
Speaker 8: it some of it was releasing that trauma by writing
Speaker 8: this book.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of the trauma, you know, it was
Speaker 1: it was addressed in during the process, you know, and
Speaker 1: that's that's what made it, you know, just like this
Speaker 1: was my therapy. It was really, you know, a cathartic
Speaker 1: sort of experience, and more so than I'd expected. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you know your your history, right, but when
Speaker 1: it's laid out there, you know what I mean, when
Speaker 1: you have it on on the Q cards and you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and you're reading it, uh you
Speaker 1: know in a linear sort of way.
Speaker 5: I mean, it just hits different man, It hits it
Speaker 5: hits differently.
Speaker 1: And it was something that uh, my co author, Jasmine
Speaker 1: Martin was able to, uh to employ like a tool
Speaker 1: she was able to use during this process that it
Speaker 1: really hit me hard when I was reading one of
Speaker 1: the final drafts of the book and it was you know,
Speaker 1: she was able to speak. There's an a side section
Speaker 1: where you hear, you know, my mother, like you hear
Speaker 1: my mother's perspective, and uh, the way she was able to, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just to approximate my mother's perspective and her voice,
Speaker 1: That's what really really hit me hard in the process.
Speaker 8: Did you did you have a question your faith as
Speaker 8: a kid growing up because you talk about so much
Speaker 8: death in your life and all the stuff that you've
Speaker 8: been through. Did you ever say, you know, what, does
Speaker 8: this really exist? Is there really a God or whoever
Speaker 8: you believe it? Did you have a question your faith
Speaker 8: at all?
Speaker 5: I did?
Speaker 1: Yeah, There's definitely been times, you know when you I've
Speaker 1: questioned my faith, uh, you know, or I mean just
Speaker 1: on the existential tip, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: if there's a god, you know, how could all of
Speaker 1: this you know, loss and trauma and death, Uh, you
Speaker 1: know exists. It's some of the stuff that I write about.
Speaker 1: How how was the world this ugly? If you made
Speaker 1: it in your image. Man, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's one of my bars from a song called Dear God.
Speaker 1: But yeah, to answer your question.
Speaker 2: Definitely, how did you get that back?
Speaker 8: And the reason I asked is if you don't know,
Speaker 8: when you read the book, you find out that you
Speaker 8: lost your father at a young age, you lost your.
Speaker 2: Mom at a young age as well. Both have murdered.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, murder.
Speaker 2: So how do you get that faith back.
Speaker 5: Through the arts?
Speaker 1: Visual art, which was my gateway, you know, into music,
Speaker 1: and and that's that's what really saved my life.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. It was a game changer
Speaker 5: that I would have been on the I was already
Speaker 5: on it. I was on that path.
Speaker 1: And you know, me meeting quest love when I did,
Speaker 1: which you know I talk about in the book, and
Speaker 1: just getting on that musical trajectory of the arts is
Speaker 1: what really save me.
Speaker 22: Now.
Speaker 9: I know you was a baby when your father was
Speaker 9: tragically murdered, when the teenager when your mother was were
Speaker 9: you able to process that pain in the moment or
Speaker 9: was that something that.
Speaker 2: You dealt with as you got older.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's something that I'm still dealing with.
Speaker 1: I definitely was not able to process it in the moment,
Speaker 1: you know, no matter how hard I tried, right, you know,
Speaker 1: I wanted to feel all the emotion that that you
Speaker 1: you know, you expect you would expect one to feel
Speaker 1: when you experienced that sort of loss, But I mean
Speaker 1: for me, it was I mean, it took forever before
Speaker 1: I was even able to shed a tear about, you know,
Speaker 1: my mother's murder, you know. And I think it's just
Speaker 1: because it was so many layers of callous and and
Speaker 1: scar tissue to sort of work through.
Speaker 5: And that's what that's what this book is about.
Speaker 1: It's about that armor that you know, at one point
Speaker 1: in time, it might it might serve as a defense mechanism.
Speaker 5: It might you know, protect you.
Speaker 1: But as we move through life and you get into
Speaker 1: different spaces, you start to interact with different people, and
Speaker 1: you know, you're now you in these different dynamics, they
Speaker 1: no longer service in the same way.
Speaker 2: What about vengeance and revenge like, how do you ultimately
Speaker 2: let let that go?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, I'm I feeling I definitely feel
Speaker 1: like I have. It's uh, that's that was just a
Speaker 1: wise move. I think I definitely came to to to
Speaker 1: understand as a young person, when I was still a
Speaker 1: teenager that uh, you know, holding on to uh to
Speaker 1: to negative energy in that way. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: as as detrimental to you know, the beholder as it
Speaker 1: is to whoever you're trying to project it upon.
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, I've never really sat.
Speaker 1: With uh you know, the old vengeance in that way,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean as far as like in
Speaker 1: the in my dad's case, uh, it was it's still
Speaker 1: it was never a solve murder. But in my mom's case, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they they they apprehended someone shortly after and
Speaker 1: uh you know, we went through the trial and everything,
Speaker 1: and you know, he received a sentence and then there
Speaker 1: was a mistrial of it all and he was we
Speaker 1: had to sit through it again. So I sat through
Speaker 1: actually through my mother's murder trial twice, you know. And
Speaker 1: but in that you know, once it, once it was done,
Speaker 1: it was something that I had to let go of,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, in order for me to
Speaker 1: be able to move forward.
Speaker 8: So and you still had love for for feeling regardless
Speaker 8: of everything that happened, YEA. That gotta be tough too.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, I have, I absolutely have love, you know,
Speaker 1: for for Philadelphia, that's that's the place that made me.
Speaker 1: But you know it's also it's one of those you know,
Speaker 1: it could make you, it could break you, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And it's the city of brotherly love.
Speaker 1: That love has always been a tough.
Speaker 5: Love, you know.
Speaker 8: All Right, we got more with Black Thought when we
Speaker 8: come back, don't move.
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning.
Speaker 8: Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne, the guy we all to
Speaker 8: Breakfast Club. I was still kicking it with Black Thought, Charlamagne.
Speaker 8: Is there anything you learned about your parents writing this
Speaker 8: book that you previously didn't know, especially your father.
Speaker 1: There's not much that I really learned about my father
Speaker 1: that you know, hadn't already been told to me. But
Speaker 1: one thing that I really had to deal with in
Speaker 1: writing this book was I had to, you know, just
Speaker 1: sit with the level of grace that.
Speaker 5: My mother had extended to me as a young person.
Speaker 1: I burned the house down at the age of six,
Speaker 1: which is sort of where the book begins.
Speaker 5: And you know, I just knew I was in for it.
Speaker 1: I thought I was in trouble and you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, just guilt and you know, all those feelings
Speaker 1: were sort of you know, bubbling, uh, you know, like running.
Speaker 5: Through my body. And my mom came home.
Speaker 1: Obviously, our only concern was, you know, safe, everybody was safe, right,
Speaker 1: and yeah, just you know, the the grace that she
Speaker 1: extended at that time, and it was just really surprising,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it was a beautiful thing,
Speaker 1: and it just gave me a different sort of insight
Speaker 1: into who she was and in retrospect, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean now, you know, as an adult, just to
Speaker 1: go back and relive it. Yeah, it just gave me
Speaker 1: different take on on my mother as a person, you know.
Speaker 2: And you understood in the magnitude of what happened at
Speaker 2: the age of six, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I really understood the magnitude the
Speaker 1: way I knew I'd done something that you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: there was no turning back from you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It was something that I couldn't undo and uh, and
Speaker 1: it felt, you know, super serious. But I think in
Speaker 1: that moment, I just shut down, Like that was my
Speaker 1: you know, my my knee jerk response, My my reflex
Speaker 1: was I just shut down, and you know, I just
Speaker 1: I walked down the stairs, like there wasn't a fires,
Speaker 1: you know, And yeah, I guess it gives you a
Speaker 1: different insight too into your children, right yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, And so do you do you give that
Speaker 8: grace to your kids because you know, as as a parent,
Speaker 8: you know a lot of times when your kids do something,
Speaker 8: the first reactor is to get mad, to get upset,
Speaker 8: and you want to scold them so they don't do
Speaker 8: it again. But you got to go back to when
Speaker 8: he was six, Yeah, and you did something way worse
Speaker 8: than IM sure any of your kids have ever done.
Speaker 2: So how does that affect how you parents your kids?
Speaker 1: It absolutely does, And you know it's something that I
Speaker 1: just have to remain mindful of, you know, because in
Speaker 1: the moment, it's not easy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I remember a couple of years ago, Uh, my son,
Speaker 1: he he did something like where I think he left
Speaker 1: the water running like for a long time up in
Speaker 1: one of the bathrooms. Long story, short hole, like the
Speaker 1: ceiling of a whole room in my house wound up
Speaker 1: falling through. You know, when it was tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars in damage and you know, long insurance claim
Speaker 1: and you know, we were jacked up for a long
Speaker 1: time because of it. But yeah, you know, in that moment,
Speaker 1: it's like, yo, that's when I have to you know,
Speaker 1: be mindful of of that grace. But you know, I
Speaker 1: definitely I got to catch myself because you know, I'm
Speaker 1: also a disciplinarian, you know, So.
Speaker 2: Are you a disciplinarian like your like like the older
Speaker 2: people that raised us, Because.
Speaker 8: I always wonder there was a fine line for what
Speaker 8: we received, Yes, between discipline.
Speaker 2: Seventy something.
Speaker 1: It's a delicate balance, you know what I'm saying. I've
Speaker 1: never been teamed spare the rod, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I'm more lenient now and more you know, I
Speaker 1: extend more grace now.
Speaker 5: I'm more forgiving now, you know than ever.
Speaker 9: You know what makes you feel like now is the
Speaker 9: time to write a memoir? When somebody approaches you and
Speaker 9: it says, hey, we'd love for you to write a memoir.
Speaker 9: You know, you got to open up and raally revealed
Speaker 9: things you probably never revealed.
Speaker 2: What made you want to do it?
Speaker 5: Nothing just because you know I was.
Speaker 1: I was excited for that in the process, right, I
Speaker 1: was excited to you know, like what that experience might
Speaker 1: hold for me. You know what I'm saying, just being open,
Speaker 1: accessible and vulnerable in a way that I hadn't before
Speaker 1: in my art.
Speaker 5: You know, hip hop is.
Speaker 1: Founded upon so much you know, my cheese mo and
Speaker 1: braggadocio and you know, just larger than life winn.
Speaker 5: It takes all. Yeah, you know that.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it gets exhausting, you know what I mean, when
Speaker 1: you've done that, when you've had to put up you know,
Speaker 1: such a you know, like a one dimensional.
Speaker 5: Perspective of of of of yourself and of your art
Speaker 5: and of your identity. Uh, you know, for such a
Speaker 5: long time.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, I mean they say that about
Speaker 1: people who lie, right, You tell a lie for a
Speaker 1: long time, and then it's like you know when when
Speaker 1: when the truth shall set you free?
Speaker 5: Right? So this is this is that sort of sort
Speaker 5: of thing playing out for me. And uh.
Speaker 1: I would meet fans who've been rocking with me for
Speaker 1: such a long time and they would say, you know,
Speaker 1: for all of roots and music that you know I've
Speaker 1: acquired and all your lyrics, I know, front to back,
Speaker 1: I still feel as though I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: black thought, I don't know to try to as a person,
Speaker 1: and that that's always been by design just because of
Speaker 1: you know, my introversion.
Speaker 5: So I felt like at this edge of my career
Speaker 5: you know, you know, and acts three of whatever it
Speaker 5: is that that.
Speaker 1: I'm doing as a creative, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I've passed that threshold of fifty years, you know, so
Speaker 1: this is the only place sort of left to go
Speaker 1: is within myself as an artist. So this is sort
Speaker 1: of the final frontier. And it's something I've always held
Speaker 1: near and there because I'm so private, you know. So
Speaker 1: I've I've been you know, really uh possessive in private
Speaker 1: with my story. But I feel like now at this
Speaker 1: point in time, and you know, just with as many
Speaker 1: people who have followed me and who look up to me,
Speaker 1: and you know, the idea of being a role model
Speaker 1: of it all, I think this is the time in
Speaker 1: which it would it would be you know, of of
Speaker 1: the most value and serve the most people.
Speaker 2: So as an artist, the memoir unlocks something that music has.
Speaker 22: It.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it has for me.
Speaker 1: It has for me, you know, I've been able to
Speaker 1: just tap into you know, telling my story in a
Speaker 1: different way.
Speaker 2: I love this line. Our lives are our response to
Speaker 2: the call of our childhoods. What does that line mean
Speaker 2: to you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's about having having
Speaker 1: to go through it to get to it, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Essentially, while we always got to go
Speaker 1: through it, why black people got to go We're not
Speaker 1: the only ones that gotta go through you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not the only ones that gotta go through it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that's that's that's that's what it
Speaker 1: speaks to. You know, it's about a wisdom that you
Speaker 1: know you can only arrive at.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's it's about a journey to that wisdom, and sometimes
Speaker 1: it's about being wise enough to realize that, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the journey is just gonna take you back to where
Speaker 1: you begin.
Speaker 9: I love reading memoirs now because I love to hear
Speaker 9: how people you know, cope with, you know, their inner child.
Speaker 2: Because I do not know why.
Speaker 9: The older you get, it feels like you're in a
Speaker 9: child is crying out for more and more help. And
Speaker 9: especially when you do start doing the work, when you
Speaker 9: do start going to therapy, sitting with spiritual leaders, you know,
Speaker 9: dealing with plants, whatever, it is.
Speaker 2: It's like you're in a child to start screaming out
Speaker 2: for help.
Speaker 1: Well, they talk about our emotional response to just things
Speaker 1: in the world and how, you know, the way we
Speaker 1: respond to things, you know, is something that we usually
Speaker 1: developed before the age of seven or eight, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So it's it requires a conscious effort,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, in order to to train
Speaker 1: your body, to condition yourself to to respond to the world,
Speaker 1: to respond to any sort of stimuli in a different
Speaker 1: way than you would as a child.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. So that's what they call,
Speaker 5: you know, the work. So this is this is part
Speaker 5: of that.
Speaker 1: This is uh, this is me doing doing my work
Speaker 1: to work through my and and it's the beginning of it.
Speaker 1: This book is only you know, this is uh, this
Speaker 1: is me as a young person.
Speaker 5: It's uh. By the by the end of the book,
Speaker 5: I think I'm still I'm in high school, you know.
Speaker 8: All right, will on move. We got more with black
Speaker 8: Dot when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
Speaker 8: morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne to die. We
Speaker 8: are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with black Thought.
Speaker 8: I was gonna ask with the roots, when you guys
Speaker 8: created the roots, When did y'all start making money. And
Speaker 8: the reason I asked is because it was new, Like
Speaker 8: when when when the roots came out? It was something
Speaker 8: that hip hop hasn't seen on that platform or respected
Speaker 8: on that platform.
Speaker 2: So when did the routes finally break through? And was like, nah,
Speaker 2: this is hip hop's bad?
Speaker 5: I want to say around you know, two thousand and six.
Speaker 8: So was it hard to always, you know, break into
Speaker 8: a market sell it to a promoter because I just
Speaker 8: remember the route so early on and just like this
Speaker 8: is just so different, and sometimes a hip hop different
Speaker 8: is hard to break through.
Speaker 5: It was very hard for us.
Speaker 1: It was you know, super difficult to us because we
Speaker 1: didn't really look or sound or feel like an anything
Speaker 1: else that was that was happening. So it was a
Speaker 1: lot of a you know, we always had to prove
Speaker 1: ourselves right and and you know, I mean it took
Speaker 1: so long for us to even break even financially, and
Speaker 1: that's something that just came over time, you know, just
Speaker 1: paying those dudes on the road, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: you start at one point touring and then you're able
Speaker 1: to sort of get your stock up just through when
Speaker 1: you keep coming back. You know what I mean, so
Speaker 1: we were able to sort of build on on on
Speaker 1: that relevance and it was wild. It was like when
Speaker 1: we finally hit a point, you know, six o seven,
Speaker 1: you know where we felt like, yeah, you know, all
Speaker 1: of these years of two hundred plus days on the
Speaker 1: road started to pay off. That's when you know, there
Speaker 1: was a whole seismic shift in the way people started
Speaker 1: to receive you know, people were receiving music and you know,
Speaker 1: concert tickets and all that thing.
Speaker 5: It was, you know, we went through a revolution with
Speaker 5: the you know, streaming and that whole thing.
Speaker 1: So and then that's when the Tonight show opportunity presented
Speaker 1: it stuff and that's what made it make sense. It
Speaker 1: was like, you know, we had just reached finally reached
Speaker 1: the we hit a stride and and everything was changing.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: So yeah, that that in that uncertainty, uh, you know,
Speaker 5: the consistency of.
Speaker 1: The day job and that platform that it would it
Speaker 1: would represent, you know, it looked really good.
Speaker 8: Was there a particular moment was it was it a
Speaker 8: Jay Z using y'all a lot, or like, was it
Speaker 8: a particular moment that called that shift?
Speaker 5: You know when we started to make some bread.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, it get recognized by enough to where
Speaker 9: the tonight show was like y'all want that?
Speaker 5: Well, you know, yeah, I think it was just over time, man.
Speaker 1: You know, we you know, we've been around for I
Speaker 1: mean blessed enough to have been around for such a
Speaker 1: long time that you know. A good example is, you know,
Speaker 1: there's a festival that takes place in in in Denmark
Speaker 1: and Copenhagen every year. It's called Ross Guilder, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we started playing at ross Gueld.
Speaker 5: Before we were even you know, allowed on the actual
Speaker 5: festival grounds.
Speaker 1: Like we were you know, two tenths you know, out
Speaker 1: on the main strip right and you know, we we
Speaker 1: worked our way up from you know the outskirts to
Speaker 1: the tent, you know, right on the borderline to you know, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, third and fourth stages until we came back
Speaker 1: and we were able to headline, you know with it
Speaker 1: was the Roots in Bruce Springsteen co headliner. So you know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that was over you know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: many years and it's like Ross Guilder isn't like we've
Speaker 1: done that around the world, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: just because we've been able to keep up appearances. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess we just paid our dues, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then once we got you know, we got into
Speaker 1: Late Night and we started doing that thing. It definitely
Speaker 1: represented a change in our career where we haven't been
Speaker 1: able to tour in that same way. So, yeah, everything
Speaker 1: that we had done up until that point, it's just
Speaker 1: been a blessing. And this is the sort of thing
Speaker 1: where we probably had taken it for granted and we'd
Speaker 1: be able to do it forever, but you know, here
Speaker 1: we are and now, yeah, it's uh, it's just more
Speaker 1: of a blessing and just a greater opportunity when we
Speaker 1: do get to go out and still touch the fans
Speaker 1: in that way.
Speaker 9: Now, now, when you decided to write about the altercation
Speaker 9: you had request love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, back back in the nineties. You have to ask
Speaker 2: him if you could speak on that.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't have to ask him because he's written
Speaker 1: about it in one of his books, and it's the
Speaker 1: sort of thing that you know, like, that's my brother,
Speaker 1: So I mean, I know if it's good or not,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 9: And also that's it's like to me, those are best relationships.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, if you can have, if you can fight
Speaker 9: and then get over it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey man, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Family, you know, it really takes it takes it takes
Speaker 1: love for somebody to to get you that upset, right,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Only my my loved ones
Speaker 1: have ever really been able to get me that ribbed up, right,
Speaker 1: So it's it's this there's something in that.
Speaker 5: But yeah, you know, I was.
Speaker 2: We were all kids at that point.
Speaker 22: You know.
Speaker 1: Now now I'm an adult, so I would I would,
Speaker 1: I would have doubt with that situation a completely different way.
Speaker 2: How long did y'all not speak?
Speaker 5: I mean we lived together, maybe we didn't speak for
Speaker 5: the train ride home, but.
Speaker 2: It's like once we got back, and how was that
Speaker 2: that had to be uncomfortable? Awkward? Like, bro, yeah it was.
Speaker 5: It was definitely. You know it was awkward. It was uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the sort of thing that I would
Speaker 1: laugh about, you know, almost most immediately, Like that's just
Speaker 1: where I come from, you know what I'm saying. You
Speaker 1: get into a little thing, you know, we settled it
Speaker 1: and then it's funny. But yeah, with in our mayor's case,
Speaker 1: it just wasn't you know what I'm saying. But you're like, Noah,
Speaker 1: that it wasn't funny like yeah, uh, but yeah, we
Speaker 1: were able to you know obviously move past it, and
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we're stronger for it.
Speaker 5: People ask me about, you know, how.
Speaker 1: We remain together and work together and you know, been
Speaker 1: business partners on so many different levels for such a
Speaker 1: long time. And I think it's because we got like
Speaker 1: that out of the way, you know, like early on,
Speaker 1: and be able to you know, just focus on the
Speaker 1: art in the business.
Speaker 9: You know, for for many years Chapter twelve, doing the work.
Speaker 9: What kind of work do we need to do to
Speaker 9: find out who we really are? Like what worked for
Speaker 9: Black thought?
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's it's confronting, it's confronting you know,
Speaker 1: our demons, you know, head on. And this, like I said,
Speaker 1: this is this represents the beginning of me you know,
Speaker 1: doing doing a lot of that work.
Speaker 5: But did it's still you know, very very far more
Speaker 5: to go?
Speaker 2: Was it Therapy?
Speaker 12: Was it?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's part of it, you know what I'm saying, A
Speaker 1: couple's therapy. Uh, you know, therapy you know for myself,
Speaker 1: therapy for my children. You know, these are the sort
Speaker 1: of things, these are the sort of tools that are
Speaker 1: at our disposal to embrace and you know when it's good,
Speaker 1: it's great, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So I try to utilize all that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm a big proponent of therapy.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Could you be Black Thought without being from Philly?
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think you're so much of of of who I am.
Speaker 1: You know, so much of my identity of is associated
Speaker 1: with my philadelphianness, you know. Yeah, and it's the sort
Speaker 1: of place that I had to grow up, you know,
Speaker 1: Black Thought. I couldn't I couldn't have been Black Thought
Speaker 1: if I haven't hadn't been working, you know, as long
Speaker 1: as I have, and you know, I got a job
Speaker 1: in second grade that was a you know, that was
Speaker 1: a very Philadelphian thing, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think the balance of you know, the love,
Speaker 1: but that tough love. I don't think I would have
Speaker 1: been able to receive that, you know, from any other community.
Speaker 2: And the name black Thought, Yeah, where exactly did that
Speaker 2: derived from?
Speaker 1: It derived from you know, my my, my time as
Speaker 1: a visual artist and uh, you know, just dealing with
Speaker 1: paints and you know, just the color palette. I realized that,
Speaker 1: you know, so much more went into you know, arriving
Speaker 1: at the color black.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Uh than than one would think.
Speaker 1: There's so many different nuances and colors, other colors that
Speaker 1: go into you know, arriving at the color black. So
Speaker 1: that's sort of what it would it began as, and
Speaker 1: over time it's it's evolved into something, you know, that
Speaker 1: has taken far, far greater meaning you know both I
Speaker 1: guess to me and and to you know, to people
Speaker 1: who support me. So yeah, at the time, I didn't think,
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't thinking of black thought as the
Speaker 1: concept of people, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: But that's sort of what what has come to mean.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, well man, black thoughts book man.
Speaker 8: That's right, Cycle Selsycle Sel, We appreciate you for Jordanus said,
Speaker 8: what do you want people to get out of this book?
Speaker 2: If they if they can get one thing out of it,
Speaker 2: what do you want them to get out of this?
Speaker 1: You know, if if if one person is able to
Speaker 1: see themselves, you know, better understand themselves or better understand
Speaker 1: you know, their path, their their lived experience, if this
Speaker 1: is going to be you know, an entree into someone
Speaker 1: else being able to start to work through their stuff.
Speaker 1: And you know, shed some of those layers of of
Speaker 1: armor that are no longer useful, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: those layers of callous and and and scar tissue. Then
Speaker 1: not yeah, then it's it's it's a win. And I've
Speaker 1: already you know, experienced that. You know, I've already had
Speaker 1: some of those conversations. So I feel this book has
Speaker 1: already been helpful.
Speaker 2: All right, And y'all a getting nominated programming this year.
Speaker 5: I did a couple of days ago.

Speaker 1: first Grammy nomination, you know what I mean, like outside
Speaker 1: of the roots. And then another homie hit me was like, yeah,

Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 8: Remember when did he had the pop band B five?
Speaker 8: You got any B five music? You play a little
Speaker 8: bit and.
Speaker 23: Nobody's going that day.
Speaker 2: They made the band too? Do you remember BE five?
Speaker 12: Now?
Speaker 2: I don't remember this song. I remember the group BE five,
Speaker 2: I remember the name I didn't, you know? Yeah, they
Speaker 2: were like a boy man.
Speaker 8: Remember when Diddy was up here talking about giving artists
Speaker 8: back there publishing.
Speaker 2: You got that clip when he was up here.
Speaker 4: It was more of of me just evolving as a businessman.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 5: It was the right thing to do.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying that it was the right
Speaker 4: thing to do in this if it wasn't for like
Speaker 4: these people that you know have have helped me with
Speaker 4: all of these records.
Speaker 5: Everybody.
Speaker 4: If there's anything you know what I'm saying that like
Speaker 4: like like that that you know, just just doing the
Speaker 4: right thing. That's just with the frequency that I'm in
Speaker 4: and so that was done two years ago, so it's
Speaker 4: not like two years Yeah, two years ago I had
Speaker 4: a signed and then the lawyers had to work everything
Speaker 4: out because it's not an e it's not a it's
Speaker 4: not an easy thing.
Speaker 22: Well.
Speaker 8: B five was on the way in Miami podcast and
Speaker 8: they said they didn't get none of their publishing rights.
Speaker 9: Diddy was in the news first decision to return publishing
Speaker 9: rights to Bad Boy artists.
Speaker 2: Did B five benefit from that? That's a discussion.
Speaker 27: We didn't hear anything, We didn't get no calls or
Speaker 27: nothing like that. That but with a camera, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 27: we went published it too. We were so young at
Speaker 27: the time. We didn't understand the business of it. But
Speaker 27: you know now it's like looking back, like damn, Like
Speaker 27: you know why our names wasn't on the credits, you
Speaker 27: know what I mean?
Speaker 28: Why?
Speaker 5: Why? Why?
Speaker 2: Where the percentage is that with a pub at you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Back then, you know, we were thirteen,
Speaker 2: there was really no one to step in place and
Speaker 2: be like yo, like where's the split sheet? Sat like
Speaker 2: make sure he gets this percentage?
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Maybe did he forgot?
Speaker 5: Maybe did he forgot?
Speaker 9: B five was on Bad Boy listen, I'm sure Diddy
Speaker 9: will return to publishing when he remembers B five was
Speaker 9: on Bad Boy.
Speaker 2: We just reminded everybody, no disrespect to BE five. But
Speaker 2: I don't remember any B five records.
Speaker 9: I am almost positive that, you know, when they're sitting
Speaker 9: around and they're talking about, you know, bad boy artists
Speaker 9: and who should get what? I guarantee you B five, Like, oh,
Speaker 9: don't forget about B five, I promise you, so listen. Yeah,
Speaker 9: now that they remember, give five publishing back, all right,
Speaker 9: the owns day publishing. It had to be like somebody
Speaker 9: as an adult because they were kids, so they had
Speaker 9: to be an adult that owned it.
Speaker 8: They couldn't own it, right, And this is no disrespect
Speaker 8: to BE five. And every time you say no disrespect,
Speaker 8: that means disrespect. But it's B five publishing worth anything
Speaker 8: because I don't remember them having a huge record or
Speaker 8: a huge hit. And I could just not know because
Speaker 8: I wasn't a BE five fan. But I just don't
Speaker 8: know if the value of that publishing, and especially split
Speaker 8: with the members, I have no idea. And last that
Speaker 8: I just want to say, Patty Leabelle and Cardi B
Speaker 8: have joined forces for a new holiday campaign whip shots
Speaker 8: in Patty's Good Life. They're gonna come together for the
Speaker 8: holiday season, so you can go out there and get
Speaker 8: some of the stuff. And Patty Leabell will actually be
Speaker 8: at Nastak this morning, ringing the bell.

Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, like I said, it's I know for a
Speaker 8: fact my wife would definitely snitch absolutely positives.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not gonna stitch it on because my wife,

Speaker 9: with with with women involved, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 9: because you know, at the end of the day, that's
Speaker 9: you know, your son's mom, but then you know that's
Speaker 9: still her.
Speaker 8: I would assume daughter in law, correct, you know, and
Speaker 8: she's not. She's not gonna want to see that. She
Speaker 8: knows what that feels like. She knows what it feels
Speaker 8: like to be on the receiving end of that. So yeah,
Speaker 8: I'm sorry she would say something.

Speaker 9: same thing I would tell my child. You know, a
Speaker 9: mistake is something that happens accidentally. Cheating and lying are
Speaker 9: not accidents. They are choices, and they are choices that
Speaker 9: will catch up. And when they catch up, after I've
Speaker 9: warned you and told you how this was gonna end,
Speaker 9: I will be here to say I told you so
Speaker 9: we to Yes, I will, and then you shall learn

Speaker 9: just you know, meant to learn things the hard way
Speaker 9: that you know. So I would hope that I'm raising
Speaker 9: wise children who learned from the mistakes of others, because
Speaker 9: smart people learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn
Speaker 9: from the mistakes of others, especially mistakes of especially mistakes
Speaker 9: we've already made.
Speaker 8: Yes, all right, when we come back, we got your
Speaker 8: room of report. We got to tell you what celebrity
Speaker 8: mom says she wants to put a bullet in somebody's head.
Speaker 8: We'll get to it next.
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast on will bet the breakfast Club.
Speaker 8: Morning everybody, It's d J n V charlamage to God.
Speaker 8: We are the breakfast Club. Let's get to the rooms.
Speaker 2: Let's talk. Michael B. Jordan or you gossip report. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess we on the bakfath This is oney. The
Speaker 2: tea spells right right now. Michael B.
Speaker 8: Jordan was doing an interview with Big Boy, and they
Speaker 8: talked about his character in one of his movies, you know,
Speaker 8: his fame movie Black Panther, and what he had to
Speaker 8: do to get out of that role.
Speaker 9: You did Black Panther as well, you had to did
Speaker 9: you say you had to go to therapy to kind
Speaker 9: of pull yourself out of that?
Speaker 2: I know, it can't just be three to two well
Speaker 2: action and you just all you know and fall right out.
Speaker 2: There's no blueprint to it, you know.
Speaker 32: I think for me, I was I took every job
Speaker 32: as learning experience, you know, and I try to learn
Speaker 32: something from each one, and I try to I try
Speaker 32: to grow and I try to grow in I never
Speaker 32: knew that I had to come out of a character.
Speaker 32: That was the first time I was actually like not
Speaker 32: feeling like myself and I was like, man, I'm like depressed,
Speaker 32: I'm super like emotional. I'm like non emotional rather, you know,
Speaker 32: for where I kind of had to go for like
Speaker 32: Eric Killmonger, like that that was a guy that I
Speaker 32: that I really kind of cut off a lot of
Speaker 32: emotions and love, you know, from a lot of people.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 32: I was isolated for a long time before I actually
Speaker 32: started filming and then coming out of it, I had
Speaker 32: to kind of I had to get used to being
Speaker 32: around family members and friends and being normal and talking
Speaker 32: about regular stuff.
Speaker 2: It was like it was a whole different thing, and
Speaker 2: therapy definitely helped me.
Speaker 8: That's interesting. I mean, he had to play the bad guy,
Speaker 8: you know, it's not like Michael Michael B. Jordan plays
Speaker 8: a lot of villain roles.
Speaker 9: But it's interesting about the kill Manger character is kill
Speaker 9: Manga wasn't necessarily a.
Speaker 2: Villain like kill Manga, not really.
Speaker 9: He just he just felt like Wakanda had all the
Speaker 9: tools and resources that could have liberated black people globally,
Speaker 9: and he was absolutely right, and he wanted them to
Speaker 9: step up and use you know, those tools and resources
Speaker 9: to help black people all around the globe. He was
Speaker 9: just willing to, you know, take out whoever didn't agree
Speaker 9: with him to do about that, to do so when
Speaker 9: he wasn't necessarily wrong with his intention.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was kind of a villain. Took out
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call it. It's hard. I wouldn't call.
Speaker 8: I wouldn't call. I wouldn't call kill Mangoll. He took
Speaker 8: out child Bolden.
Speaker 9: He felt like Chad Bolden wasn't fit to be king,
Speaker 9: but think about it, he was actually through bloodline right
Speaker 9: rightfully able to challenge for the throne. So in combat
Speaker 9: he took out Chad with Boseman, and he rightfully became king.
Speaker 9: So it's you know what, I wouldn't call him the villain.
Speaker 9: It's now he didn't sneak into Wakandi and cut Chad
Speaker 9: with throat. No, he did it through ritual combat right
Speaker 9: and one now we got to jump to bb Rexa.
Speaker 8: Now bb Rexa had a conversation and she was talking
Speaker 8: about who she likes more, Nicki Minaj or Cardi b
Speaker 8: as a rapper.
Speaker 28: I really do believe this that Niki is one of
Speaker 28: the best rappers female rappers of all time.
Speaker 2: She's definitely a lyricist.
Speaker 12: She writes her own number one, number two. I just
Speaker 12: feel like she's always.
Speaker 17: Coming with.
Speaker 5: Let me give it up for the woman in the
Speaker 5: rap game period.
Speaker 28: Let me just say I like Carti because with her
Speaker 28: personality and I like how the real she is. But
Speaker 28: like when Nikki, I just feel like the talent, the
Speaker 28: writing talent, musicality, the artistry, untouchable.
Speaker 11: Love Cardi, but we also know that Carti is not
Speaker 11: writing ninety five.
Speaker 2: That's a regular debate folks have all the time between
Speaker 2: Nicky and Cardy.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I heard she called flak for that
Speaker 8: she did. They they were upset about it. Seemed like
Speaker 8: she was putting another woman down. I guess, but oh,
Speaker 8: knock it off.
Speaker 2: That's hip hop. That's what we do in hip hop
Speaker 2: and hip hop.
Speaker 9: We debate, you know, who's better, bottom line, point blank, period,
Speaker 9: and those same kind The way people are talking about
Speaker 9: Cardy and Nikki is the same thing people do with
Speaker 9: Drake and Kendrake, you know, jay Z and nads back
Speaker 9: in the day. It happens all the time.
Speaker 5: This is what you do.
Speaker 2: You debate hip hop.
Speaker 9: That's equality, right because all I'm all I hear is
Speaker 9: doing is talking about too dope rappers and who's better.
Speaker 8: That's hip hop. Yeah, because she didn't put anybody down.
Speaker 8: She didn't say this person was whack or this person
Speaker 8: was better. She just says she likes this person because
Speaker 8: of whatever reason, which is which is fine. And if
Speaker 8: she said if you're mad because she said, you know,
Speaker 8: Cardy doesn't right. People say that about Drake, right, They
Speaker 8: question Drake's pen all the time. Okay, all right, Well,
Speaker 8: that is your rumor report. Now when we I'm back,
Speaker 8: Happy birthday to Boosey. Today is Boosy's birthday. We're gonna
Speaker 8: start to mix off with some Boozy. Let me know
Speaker 8: what you want to hear. We'll get your request in
Speaker 8: eight hundred and five eight five, one oh five to
Speaker 8: one and we'll do that.
Speaker 13: Next.
Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your
Speaker 2: mornings will never be the same morning.
Speaker 8: Everybody is DJ MV Charlamagne the God. We are the
Speaker 8: Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building,
Speaker 8: New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks.
Speaker 2: Welcome, brother, I'm very happy to be here. Good morning
Speaker 2: to you. Vothe Man. Happy to have you here.
Speaker 30: Man.
Speaker 9: If you don't know who David Banks is, he founded
Speaker 9: one of the most successful and first public schools in
Speaker 9: the country that serves exclusively young men of color, the Eagle.
Speaker 2: Academy's right, we'll talk to us about the Eagle Academy.
Speaker 2: How did that come to lake?
Speaker 7: Well, listen, I was a member, been a long time
Speaker 7: member of the one hundred Black Men Organization. It's a national,
Speaker 7: international actual organization, but started in New York sixty years ago.
Speaker 7: And uh, you know, we'd always worked to support our
Speaker 7: kids in our schools and doing the right thing. But
Speaker 7: when we started really looking at the data around what
Speaker 7: was happening with young black men, we realized that we
Speaker 7: needed to do so much more. And so many of
Speaker 7: us had gone to the Millionaire in March years ago,
Speaker 7: and coming out of that March, we came away with
Speaker 7: a commitment that we had to go much deeper. And
Speaker 7: that March is what really gave birth to the creation
Speaker 7: of the Eagle Academy for Young Men. It was the
Speaker 7: first all boys public school in New York City in
Speaker 7: almost thirty years when we opened it.
Speaker 23: Not a charter schools, not a private school.
Speaker 7: It's regular New York City public school that really had
Speaker 7: as its mission to try to help to enlighten and
Speaker 7: transform the lives of our young men. And since that time,
Speaker 7: I was the principal of the school in the Bronx.
Speaker 7: Since that time, we've opened up an Eagle Academy in
Speaker 7: every borough in New York. We've got one in Newark,
Speaker 7: New Jersey when Corey Booker was the mayor, and Nowarky
Speaker 7: assas to come there.
Speaker 23: So we've got six schools over three thousand young men.
Speaker 7: We graduated over three thousand young men and sent them
Speaker 7: to colleges and universities all around the country, and it's
Speaker 7: essentially been a beacon in a blueprint what you can
Speaker 7: do to transform the lives of young men.
Speaker 8: Do you think they should take out the quote unquote
Speaker 8: zone school, right, because you know, when I was a
Speaker 8: kid growing up in Queen's you know, usually the resources
Speaker 8: were in the quote unquote towns with more money, right right,
Speaker 8: So that's where everybody tried to go, whether they try
Speaker 8: to get a fake address, or you know, they wanted
Speaker 8: to do to Catholic school. I know my parents wanted
Speaker 8: me to go to Edison or even Van Buren because
Speaker 8: those schools were better than my zone school. So do
Speaker 8: you think they should get rid of the quote unquote
Speaker 8: zone school where they make you go to depending on
Speaker 8: your zip code.
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, right, now we have a lot
Speaker 7: more choice of movement, particularly at the high school level.
Speaker 7: Most kids do not have to simply go to their
Speaker 7: zone school. There's a lot more movement where you don't
Speaker 7: have to change your address, you don't have to do
Speaker 7: all the other stuff to kind of sneak around the system.
Speaker 7: We offer kids lots of other opportunities, but the reality
Speaker 7: is that what we have to do is to ensure
Speaker 7: that every school is a high quality school, so you
Speaker 7: don't even need to do all of that sneaking around
Speaker 7: in the first place, and that's where the real work
Speaker 7: comes in.
Speaker 8: One of my problems with a lot of the schools
Speaker 8: is since you were a school chancellor, maybe you can
Speaker 8: give us some insight on it. I feel like a
Speaker 8: lot of the curriculums are old, right, And the reason
Speaker 8: I'm saying that is a lot of you know, when
Speaker 8: we were kids and our parents were kids, people made
Speaker 8: money differently, right, But now a lot of these kids
Speaker 8: are becoming millionaire wealthy, you know, Damn they're billionaires off
Speaker 8: of things that I don't know if school teaches, whether
Speaker 8: it's the social media bust and how to do things
Speaker 8: on social media, whether it's little things as like you know,
Speaker 8: these car wrapping companies that wrap the cars, and like
Speaker 8: people are making millions off of that, or if it's
Speaker 8: real estate or if it's whatever it may be. You know,
Speaker 8: I don't see a lot of schools jumping in to
Speaker 8: those curriculums. It seems like those curriculums are outdated and ancient,
Speaker 8: and a lot of these students, it bought. It is
Speaker 8: boring to them because what they're seeing online or what
Speaker 8: they want to do is like, I don't want to
Speaker 8: do this in school.
Speaker 2: I want to do what I enjoy doing. And I
Speaker 2: see a lot of times that you're not seeing that
Speaker 2: in those schools.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, brothers, So I couldn't agree with you more. It's
Speaker 7: part of the reason why one of them major things
Speaker 7: I focused on was the reimagining of the school experience
Speaker 7: for kids. You can't do school like we did at
Speaker 7: one hundred years ago, correct, even fifty years ago, I
Speaker 7: twenty five years ago, right, Like the world has changed
Speaker 7: and it is changing rapidly before our eyes, and it
Speaker 7: is a major challenge for a bureaucracy as large as
Speaker 7: a New York City school system, which is the largest
Speaker 7: school system in the nation, right and by far it's
Speaker 7: the largest.
Speaker 2: It doesn't it's the most complicated too.
Speaker 7: It is absolutely the most pop complicated the work that
Speaker 7: we do. But it can change, but it needs vision.
Speaker 7: It needs leadership that is courageous and bold, and that's
Speaker 7: what we are.
Speaker 23: Trying to do.
Speaker 7: So you know, one of the things that we are
Speaker 7: leaning into now we call bold futures creating career connected
Speaker 7: learning for kids.
Speaker 23: That idea that you just raised that school is boring.
Speaker 7: That's the major reason why kids give up on themselves
Speaker 7: this and it's not I'm just doing school. There's a
Speaker 7: difference between schooling and educating. Educating really connects to relevance.
Speaker 7: Why are we doing this? Kids ask that all the time.
Speaker 7: Even when we were in school, we always said why
Speaker 7: are we doing this?
Speaker 2: Lesson?
Speaker 7: And oftentimes you did not get good answers to those questions.
Speaker 7: We're helping to provide much better answers. I created a
Speaker 7: couple of programs that we're leaning into right now, our
Speaker 7: modern youth apprenticeship programs and our future Ready programs. What
Speaker 7: those are our career connected programs. To some degree that
Speaker 7: what we all remembered as CTE programs, right except that
Speaker 7: the old CTE programs were about or automotive shop, building cars,
Speaker 7: doing wood shop. The career connected learning today is not
Speaker 7: your grandfather's CTE stuff. Kids are coming out now with
Speaker 7: the opportunity to step into real jobs even if they
Speaker 7: didn't go to college. They can make six figure, six figure.
Speaker 23: Salaries coming right out of high school.
Speaker 7: So we're building a range of partnerships with the aviation industry,
Speaker 7: the biotech industry, financial industry. JP Morgan Chase is paying
Speaker 7: kids up to twenty five dollars an hour while they're
Speaker 7: still in high school, where they go to school a
Speaker 7: certain number of days and then they're actually working in
Speaker 7: the industry for at least two to three days, where
Speaker 7: we're merging school and the real world at the same time.
Speaker 7: Then kids understand why you need to be focused in
Speaker 7: this science class. It connects to something that's real and meaningful.
Speaker 7: So we got thousands of kids that are doing that.
Speaker 7: I would invite you to come and join us, you know,
Speaker 7: come and visit what we're doing at some of these schools.
Speaker 7: But my goal is to scale this work to very
Speaker 7: significant levels so that kids get real world experiences. Kids
Speaker 7: have an opportunity to get not only exposed of, but
Speaker 7: to get paid while they're in high school and so
Speaker 7: it prepares them. They get all the credentials that they
Speaker 7: need when they graduate. So when they graduate and they
Speaker 7: get a diploma, you can't have it being an empty
Speaker 7: diploma that doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 23: I want them to be able to.
Speaker 7: Go to college if they want to go to college,
Speaker 7: but I also want them to have the credentials to
Speaker 7: step right into the world work.
Speaker 23: We're doing that right now for all the reasons that
Speaker 23: you just laid up.
Speaker 9: You don't have an organization called the Mental Wealth Life.
Speaker 9: And one of our biggest things that we want to
Speaker 9: do is we want to get social and emotional learning
Speaker 9: in public schools K through you know twelve.
Speaker 2: What are they doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: First of all, let me tell you we would love
Speaker 7: to work with you on that because there's a way
Speaker 7: for us to take that work and really and really
Speaker 7: scale it up, and particularly coming off of the pandemic,
Speaker 7: there's a lot of work that is being done in
Speaker 7: our schools in support of social emotional learning. You know,
Speaker 7: I visited a school in Staten Island, like maybe in
Speaker 7: my within my first two weeks of being in this position.
Speaker 7: The school designed a wall and the wall represents and
Speaker 7: it lights up. It's a wide range of the feelings
Speaker 7: that you're having at any given moment in time, and
Speaker 7: they designed it as a fun wall and you get
Speaker 7: a chance.
Speaker 2: To kind of walk along this wall.
Speaker 7: There's a little path that you walk through and you
Speaker 7: get to touch different parts of the world that reflect
Speaker 7: the feelings that you're having and that moment, and the
Speaker 7: folks in that school so get to observe that and
Speaker 7: figure out who they need to try and support who's
Speaker 7: feeling a certain way, because you have to remember, kids
Speaker 7: don't always they won't always articulate how they're feeling at
Speaker 7: a given moment. But this is another way for them
Speaker 7: to kind of physically express where they are. They're feeling anger,
Speaker 7: they're feeling happiness, or they're feeling joy, they're feeling sadness,
Speaker 7: Like what is it that they're feeling? Because ultimately that
Speaker 7: tips you into a place where somebody needs to sit
Speaker 7: with you and say I'm here.
Speaker 2: That's right, I'm here.
Speaker 8: You know, next year when I do my Mental Wealth
Speaker 8: ex Vocal, we just had it, I want to bring
Speaker 8: like two hundred kids.
Speaker 9: Man, we got to figure that out. How we just
Speaker 9: have two hundred kids in attended charlam Mane. We could
Speaker 9: do two thousand kids. Oh, I mean we did three
Speaker 9: thousand people this year, right, you know, but I want
Speaker 9: to have like always kids there. But I want to
Speaker 9: do something specifically when we just have a bunch of
Speaker 9: kids from New York just just there.
Speaker 7: Brother, you all you got to do is let me
Speaker 7: know where and when, and we will absolutely make it happen.
Speaker 7: We would love to be in partnership with you on this.
Speaker 7: When we go to the schools, the Mari and I,
Speaker 7: we talk to kids. Mental health is one of the
Speaker 7: major things that kids talk about, not just for themselves,
Speaker 7: but for their friends, right because they care about their
Speaker 7: friends and they can see the stuff that sometimes that
Speaker 7: their friends are going through. And if we work in partnership,
Speaker 7: we have an opportunity to truly impact the lives of
Speaker 7: just let's do it.
Speaker 23: Let's do it, man, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: You have it, James. We appreciate you for joining us.
Speaker 8: Thank you so much, brother, Thank you New York City
Speaker 8: Schools Chancellor, and thank you brother. Now, Charlamaane, you've got
Speaker 8: a positive note.
Speaker 9: I do, Man, I have a positive note. And it's
Speaker 9: really simple. Normalize talking highly about yourself. I rate no
Speaker 9: small talk to self. Okay, normalized talking highly about yourself.
Speaker 2: You deserve it. Breakfast club bites you don't finish
Speaker 23: For y'all done,
