Speaker 2: We just had one day.
Speaker 3: Hey, Jessicay, Yes, jess Wharius, Yeah, I only had they

Speaker 7: Like my GPS it'll reroute me, it'll keep you it's
Speaker 7: like it is doesn't know New Jersey.
Speaker 3: New York because sometimes roads be blocked off because they're
Speaker 3: be doing construction, instruction and stuff like that.
Speaker 8: So sorry for the people use GPS.
Speaker 2: Use Ways.
Speaker 1: Ways is a good GPS that definitely works well in
Speaker 1: the city because Way tells you what's going on. Way
Speaker 1: tells you DS they tell you what night, the police
Speaker 1: cameras and all.
Speaker 2: Just be patient.
Speaker 3: I used to do the same thing when I first
Speaker 3: moved up here, to be looking into the GPS. It'll
Speaker 3: rewrite you. A street be blocked off, you don't know
Speaker 3: the city, you meet a.
Speaker 7: Little lost around and then getting turned around in Jersey
Speaker 7: is different from being turned around anywhere else in the world.

Speaker 1: All right, we do a record club, just Hilary charlamage
Speaker 1: to God. Let's get in some front page news. Morning,
Speaker 1: angel A AI.
Speaker 9: Hey, there are good people feeling I'm feeling good. But
Speaker 9: this young man who this court ruled against yesterday probably
Speaker 9: isn't Darryl George, who is a junior at Barber's Hill
Speaker 9: High School, has been an in school suspension since August
Speaker 9: for wearing his hair in locks. Dang, So you all
Speaker 9: have heard of the Crown Acts, and the Crown Act
Speaker 9: was designed to protect against this very thing. But this
Speaker 9: judge in this Texas court said that this particular school
Speaker 9: dress policy does not violate the Crown Act, so the
Speaker 9: school is going to be able to continue to enforce this.
Speaker 9: This young man walks out of the court room in
Speaker 9: tears and he says, all this because of my hair.
Speaker 9: He's been in school suspension, meaning he can't get high
Speaker 9: food and he can't get the instructional materials because of
Speaker 9: the locks. They had someone who co authored the Crown
Speaker 9: Act on the stand.
Speaker 10: Say that this was the very purpose of the Crown Acts.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 10: So I don't know if y'all have thoughts about this,
Speaker 10: but this is nuts to me.
Speaker 2: Why why doesn't he just homeschool at this point?
Speaker 10: I mean, and wherever he's been in the school since August?
Speaker 2: In school suspension is rough, but I used to hate
Speaker 2: in schools mentions.
Speaker 3: Let me stay home and stay in iss all day.
Speaker 10: He wasn't because of hair.
Speaker 9: No, no, yeah, so he has these beautiful locks.
Speaker 10: Anyway, I thought y'all would have a lot more to
Speaker 10: say about that.
Speaker 2: But what's the solution, Like, what can he do it?
Speaker 9: Well, they're going to appeal it, of course, and I
Speaker 9: think that they have to continue to emphasize all over
Speaker 9: the country.
Speaker 10: There's been a movement that's been one place where.
Speaker 9: Black folks have successfully legislated all over the country. We
Speaker 9: will protect our hair. You will not continue to tell
Speaker 9: us how we're going to wear our hair.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. In twenty twenty four, we still having this
Speaker 2: conversation about hair, and.
Speaker 9: The civil rights issue of our time is going to
Speaker 9: be that because what you can't do it, because we're
Speaker 9: not gonna let you touch it, because we're not going
Speaker 9: to let you physically.
Speaker 10: Keep us out of the classroom. What missus Texas Texas.
Speaker 7: And his parent didn't want to take him out the
Speaker 7: school to put him into another school.
Speaker 8: That's like half the year, that's a long time.
Speaker 10: It is you know what I really think, Jess.
Speaker 9: I think this is about trying to make a statement,
Speaker 9: and they were willing to, you know, let him, unfortunately.
Speaker 10: Be the martyr of this cause. But it sounds like
Speaker 10: he's willing. It's just take on him.
Speaker 3: Education, his education, his mental health is emotional well being
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: That or maybe he wants to go to that school.
Speaker 1: Maybe his friends are at that school. Yeah, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen y'all since Augustus, but he wants that's maybe he
Speaker 1: wants to go back and hang with his friends, you know,
Speaker 1: and he's willing to take that.
Speaker 9: Or just say I'm gonna protect my hair at all costs.
Speaker 9: I don't know where else he could go. That's the
Speaker 9: entire school district that has that dress code. So speaking
Speaker 9: of America not being a racist country, the South Carolina
Speaker 9: GOP primary will be this Saturday, the twenty fourth, and
Speaker 9: Charles Berkley, who's not a South Carolina voter, but it's
Speaker 9: very excited to vote for Nikki Haley, had this to
Speaker 9: say when she was on his show on Seeing It.
Speaker 2: I want to.
Speaker 11: Give all my energy behind your campaign, but I was
Speaker 11: upset when of you made the reference that you didn't
Speaker 11: think America had racism.
Speaker 12: So first of all, I never said that there was
Speaker 12: not racism in America. There absolutely is racism in America.
Speaker 12: I said that America was not a racist country. The
Speaker 12: premise of America was never to be a racist country.
Speaker 12: I think the goal was always to have freedom. Now
Speaker 12: we stumbled along the way, and we've got some parts
Speaker 12: of our history that were.
Speaker 13: Not pretty, but we got past that.
Speaker 12: I don't think that our founders wanted us to have
Speaker 12: a racist country. I don't believe that that's the basis
Speaker 12: that America sets on. I think it's always to be
Speaker 12: the best country with the most freedom that allows anybody
Speaker 12: to be whatever they want to be without government getting
Speaker 12: in their way or anybody else getting in their way.
Speaker 9: As Laura thoughts, I so interesting whytch people square me
Speaker 9: wear me on this subject. I think what's more interesting
Speaker 9: here is Charles Berkley is saying to her.
Speaker 10: Which we didn't roll Governor Haum dying to vote for you, So.
Speaker 9: I said yesterday on Twitter, I ip the in Charles.
Speaker 10: Because she's not going to be in much longer.
Speaker 9: She might make it to super too on March fifth,
Speaker 9: but it won't be much longer beyond that. I think
Speaker 9: it's ridiculous to say in this here Black History Month
Speaker 9: that the founders didn't intend The founders weren't considering you, Nikki,
Speaker 9: They weren't considering us. We certainly weren't considering human Like,
Speaker 9: what are we even talking about? Of course it was
Speaker 9: built on racism, Chattle slavery is a racist institution.
Speaker 3: When will politicians just simply say, we can't say America
Speaker 3: is a racist country because that's not a good electoral strategy, Like,
Speaker 3: that's really what it's all about.
Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: If it's Congressman Clyde Burne, BP Harris, Tim Scott Nicky,
Speaker 3: none of them can say America is a racist coutry
Speaker 3: because they know that's not a good electoral crategy.
Speaker 10: Well, here's the bottom line.
Speaker 9: I think that that actually is a good electoral strategy. Really,
Speaker 9: it's always a good strategy, to tell you the truth,
Speaker 9: absolutely always, Like I think that's first and foremost. We
Speaker 9: have to get to the point where that's acceptable. Until
Speaker 9: then we're gonna be dealing stuff like.
Speaker 3: With the contact And until then, the reason they do
Speaker 3: that is because they feel it's not a good electoral.
Speaker 9: They do feel that way. Yeah, yeah, they do feel
Speaker 9: that way. So I think that's all we have time for.
Speaker 9: But we'll get to somewhere in the next hour.
Speaker 2: We're talking about next hour, Well.
Speaker 10: I want to talk about maga. Red bottoms.
Speaker 2: On your feet, Mega Rea.
Speaker 9: Let me tell you, if I buy a red bottom,
Speaker 9: it will not be a Trump's ema. Let me be
Speaker 9: very clear.
Speaker 7: If I got to spend four hundred dollars on a
Speaker 7: red bottom, it's gonna be a Luba time.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll talk that next hour and everybody else.

Speaker 1: Just don't don bring numbers on the Breakfast Club. Okay.
Speaker 7: So I've I've recently gotten to the show Love Is
Speaker 7: Blind on Netflix about so it's uh, it's people that
Speaker 7: can very much can see they are finding love and
Speaker 7: I'm on season six of it. A lot of people
Speaker 7: are reacting to the allegations about cast member Jeremy. Yesterday,
Speaker 7: it was posted that he had and he was married.
Speaker 7: Not no, he was engaged the whole time with a kid.
Speaker 7: Y'all got to get into it, you know what I'm
Speaker 7: saying this thing, but y'all gotta get into these shows.
Speaker 2: I thought to be watching that man, it's so good.
Speaker 7: A woman shared a photo of Jeremy, an unidentified woman
Speaker 7: and a little boy that may be his son. It
Speaker 7: was confirmed, but I'm gonna just get into it a
Speaker 7: little bit.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 7: He was in the caps and said someone was engaged
Speaker 7: in living with someone when applying for this. When people
Speaker 7: asked me she got the picture, she replied from my
Speaker 7: phone claiming that the woman and the child are her
Speaker 7: daughter and grandson. So basically his original his original.
Speaker 8: Fiance.
Speaker 7: Her mom actually put this out like basically her future
Speaker 7: son in law, Like he's married to he's on the show,
Speaker 7: and he is engaged to be married.
Speaker 8: To my daughter.
Speaker 2: Maybe doing the show for money, then.
Speaker 8: That's what I said.
Speaker 7: But he had responded and said that no, this is
Speaker 7: a lie, and then this show I understand, all right,
Speaker 7: So on the show, he actually is engaged to one
Speaker 7: of the girl's her name is Laura. Okay, but these
Speaker 7: people filmed this like a year ago, like over or
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, Like they filmed it a
Speaker 7: year ago.
Speaker 8: He not even with the girl now, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean? Apparently he is single now.
Speaker 7: But also I think it's interesting CMZ had actually put
Speaker 7: the fact that the mother in law or the ex
Speaker 7: mother in law, she said that they had broke up.
Speaker 7: They broke things off in twenty twenty two, so this
Speaker 7: was two years ago, so he wasn't even wasn't even
Speaker 7: with the damn lady or whatever, like they broke things
Speaker 7: off and then he filmed to be with the girl Laura,
Speaker 7: and then he just responded to it, and that's what
Speaker 7: he said.
Speaker 21: One anybody that I was on dates with my castmates
Speaker 21: and in multiple interviews this topic was discussed. Nobody is
Speaker 21: surprised by this. It was something that was well documented. Unfortunately,
Speaker 21: with all of the footage that is captured, not all
Speaker 21: of it makes it.
Speaker 2: Into the final cut.
Speaker 1: Two.
Speaker 21: I did not apply for this while I was living
Speaker 21: with anybody else. I was out living on my own
Speaker 21: and I didn't seek this out. I was actually reached
Speaker 21: out to over Instagram, but I had already been out
Speaker 21: of my own for a number of weeks at that point,
Speaker 21: and I was asked if I would like to have
Speaker 21: a discussion around it. I said, sure, why not?
Speaker 3: And I don't know, man, I think it would be
Speaker 3: better if all of them was blind. They feel like
Speaker 3: they should all be blind. No, I mean, like a
Speaker 3: bunch of blind people looking for love and they don't
Speaker 3: know what the looks. It's just based off of love,
Speaker 3: listening for love.
Speaker 7: But what's interesting is so it's a part of the
Speaker 7: show right where they they picked the person that they
Speaker 7: want to marry or whatever, they get to see them,
Speaker 7: they go on a vacation and then they go introduce
Speaker 7: each other's like families. Yeah, like no, like they go
Speaker 7: to the house, they go to each other's house, they
Speaker 7: go to their hometowns, back to their hometown. And when
Speaker 7: he took the girl Laura to the show, I mean
Speaker 7: that he was engaged to on the show, to the house,
Speaker 7: she was like, Oh, it looks so new in here,
Speaker 7: Like it looked like he just moved in.
Speaker 8: So I think like he got an airbnb, like he
Speaker 8: was running it out, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: So the fact that it just came out that he
Speaker 7: was engaged two years ago to somebody else, it actually
Speaker 7: looks like, okay, like you was already married. But no,
Speaker 7: he said he was single, Like so we really did
Speaker 7: nothing wrong. And the other lady, the grandmother, said that
Speaker 7: he didn't do anything.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's off. Off Still believe in these reality shows
Speaker 2: are real.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that's what.
Speaker 2: I feel like.
Speaker 3: I think it might be a hardfault. Oh that oh
Speaker 3: that watched these show. When you watch these show, you
Speaker 3: have to know they're just entertainment.
Speaker 2: People into the show is just acting.
Speaker 1: People are tied into it.
Speaker 2: But I was just trying to get into business to
Speaker 2: be love it so much because they feel like they're
Speaker 2: tied into this. You got to believe it.
Speaker 1: But if they feel like it's an actor, you're not
Speaker 1: going to be tied in as much. I think you
Speaker 1: should start looking at it like it's scripted. Wow, Jeuz,
Speaker 1: that story just give me a headache. But because I
Speaker 1: played it out so much more well. I played it
Speaker 1: out so much more well in my head.
Speaker 7: But anyway, more and more reality news ZEUS Network see
Speaker 7: announced his first scripted series. Lamel shared a post on
Speaker 7: Instagram announced and the network's first scripted series.
Speaker 2: Now he's partnered up with Deon Taylor.

Speaker 7: that type of stuff. And then he wants to expand,

Speaker 3: Asking was all that time I didn't talked to Wendy

Speaker 1: Know she was a family because it's strange that her
Speaker 1: brother's not a you know, her brother, her family, her son,
Speaker 1: that they don't oversee it, and that this lady does.
Speaker 2: So we figured that you would know who she is.
Speaker 2: God blessed Wendy Wims.
Speaker 3: I send her healing energy always that haven't had a
Speaker 3: relationship with them like that in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna ask you anybody.
Speaker 8: I hope you're in I hope.
Speaker 2: Around a lot.
Speaker 3: You was around about for three years from old six
Speaker 3: nine and then yeah, yeah, yeah, yoused to be making
Speaker 3: up stuff, cut it out whatever.
Speaker 7: Yesterday, what I found interesting and said was a video
Speaker 7: had surface the net with her in Black China. Lord
Speaker 7: is known as Angela. Right now, we can't keep calling
Speaker 7: her that lady. Don't want to be Black China no more.
Speaker 7: And she actually she had a heart to heart moment
Speaker 7: with I don't know if Wendy received it, but this was.
Speaker 2: It was it was heard for something.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I like recently been changing my life since you know,
Speaker 22: like who last spoke. You've always been like honest with
Speaker 22: me and like put me in my place, you know
Speaker 22: what I mean, and like the most motherly kind way.
Speaker 22: That's why I love you so much because even when
Speaker 22: I was going through my darkest times, like you never
Speaker 22: used that against me, you know, and I'm always being free,
Speaker 22: like straight up, you can call my phone whenever.
Speaker 8: My real name is Wendy Hunter Hunter.
Speaker 2: Yep, I'm move forced. He's got no money.
Speaker 8: I love you so do I Yeah.
Speaker 2: God, that sound like Wendy and me, But I love you.
Speaker 2: It's very sad.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it makes you look at your life
Speaker 1: and say, damn, you just want people around you that
Speaker 1: you really love, regardless of what you go through, through
Speaker 1: the ups, through the downs. You want to make sure
Speaker 1: that you are okay.
Speaker 3: I mean, some things that's out of your control and
Speaker 3: there's nothing you can do about dementia, and dementia is
Speaker 3: something that impacts so many families, and this is one
Speaker 3: of the most high profile black celebrities that I can
Speaker 3: recall having dementia public out like this. Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 3: so maybe this is happening to shine a light on
Speaker 3: dementia because demnia doesn't just impact people who have it
Speaker 3: and impacts the family and friends who loved them. But
Speaker 3: you know, so maybe maybe it will shine a light
Speaker 3: on dimension. We'll start having conversations about deminsion. It'll be
Speaker 3: support groups for people that are, you know, dealing with
Speaker 3: folks with dementia.
Speaker 1: Who knows, But I always say this, when when somebody
Speaker 1: does get old and they do get dementia, how do
Speaker 1: you know that that person would have wanted that out
Speaker 1: there like that?
Speaker 2: That's what I think.
Speaker 3: I think all I think it's garbage the way that
Speaker 3: they're exploiting Wendy through this documentary.
Speaker 1: And that's my point, Like you look at Wendy and
Speaker 1: and you see how she was without her wig going,
Speaker 1: and Wendy was fabulous, and there's certain things I just
Speaker 1: don't know if Wendy would have wanted like that, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's very sad.
Speaker 8: I mean, it seems like she's stuck in the time.
Speaker 7: I don't think she received anything that Angela really said,
Speaker 7: all those heartfelt and although Angela meant every word of it.
Speaker 8: She just was like, you know, it's just really sad.
Speaker 2: You may go get the trash caand point.
Speaker 7: No, my grandmother has dementia and it's actually really sad.
Speaker 7: Sometimes she's in and out too. My grandmother a comedian
Speaker 7: though she still funny, so sometimes she she'd be cool.
Speaker 8: Sometimes she not.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, with your grandma does she tells
Speaker 1: the same stories over and over and over again.
Speaker 2: Jokes.
Speaker 8: No, is that actually crazy?
Speaker 7: Because like my little cousin had passed away right like
Speaker 7: two weeks ago, and she called my dad to tell
Speaker 7: my dad that he passed because he left, he left
Speaker 7: her house and then he passed away, right, And then
Speaker 7: she called an hour later to tell my dad again.
Speaker 2: And my dad is like, you just told me, Like
Speaker 2: then you call an hour later, yeah, and then another hour?
Speaker 8: How many times did he die? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: But it's like like she.
Speaker 7: Is like right, but in our family, like we we
Speaker 7: can laugh about it. Cause she laughed about it and
Speaker 7: then she you know, she got ways that she handled it.
Speaker 3: But like, but your dad got to have a little
Speaker 3: bit more patience too, because you knows she got dementia.
Speaker 1: But at first you don't because it's a little annoying
Speaker 1: at first, and then you got to get used to
Speaker 1: it because why is it annoying? But imagine how annoying
Speaker 1: it is to have dementia. But no, you don't, you
Speaker 1: don't think about it. You just honestly, it's the first
Speaker 1: time tapping. Yeah, So you start calling and.
Speaker 7: My grandmother is away because she'd be like, well, you
Speaker 7: know what's going on. Sometimes I'm in, sometimes I'm out.
Speaker 7: Don't be all right, whatever I can tell you he
Speaker 7: died eight times.
Speaker 2: It don't matter. You're gonna agree with me all eight times.
Speaker 8: Don't don't care. But that's just how it is. We
Speaker 8: just have a different way of receiving it.
Speaker 1: And that's just with the mess in the morning sickness.
Speaker 1: Shut up man, all right. When we come back, Angela
Speaker 1: Ra will be joining us for front page News. It
Speaker 1: don't move. It's to breakfast club, Good morning Wake. You're
Speaker 1: like into the breakfast club.
Speaker 3: I know French Montana joining us this album and he
Speaker 3: got he got Mac and Cheese five out and I
Speaker 3: do like this record, but I don't want to hear
Speaker 3: this at seven in the morning.
Speaker 19: Bro.
Speaker 2: No, And you've been angry all day for no.
Speaker 10: Like why I'm mad hearing him?
Speaker 8: Why are you shooting at us?
Speaker 1: Morning? Everybody, we all the breakfast club. Let's get in
Speaker 1: some front page news.
Speaker 10: Morning, miss rum Hello, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 9: Okay, So since we already angry about it, let's just
Speaker 9: keep it going. The Alabama Senate is busy doubling down
Speaker 9: in America's racism with the introduction of an anti diversity
Speaker 9: equity and Inclusion.
Speaker 10: Bill earlier this week.
Speaker 9: This bill, well, actually, let's listen to this local news
Speaker 9: report from WVTM thirteen.
Speaker 10: I got that right, Eddie. Let's roll that sound.
Speaker 2: Seven to three. The bill receives a favorable report. Thank
Speaker 2: you to sponsor, Thank you. Committing where returned.
Speaker 23: Republican Senator Will Barfoot wrote Senate Bill one twenty nine.
Speaker 23: He says it will prohibit public entities from promoting diversity,
Speaker 23: equity and inclusion programs that he says also relate to
Speaker 23: divisive concepts.
Speaker 11: Nothing in this Act prohibits or prevents students, faculty, organization,
Speaker 11: or associations from hosting DEI programs or discussions that may
Speaker 11: involve divisive concepts, so long as no state fundure.
Speaker 23: You mayor Randall woodfin didn't hold back, asking state lawmakers
Speaker 23: why would they block fair representation and opportunities for all people.
Speaker 23: He says he'd help MI athletes and their parents find
Speaker 23: schools outside the state that prioritize diversity and inclusion if
Speaker 23: the bill passes, adding, if supporting inclusion becomes illegal in
Speaker 23: this state, hell, you might as well stand in front
Speaker 23: of the school door like Governor Wallace.
Speaker 9: Okay, so here's the thing that what they call a
Speaker 9: divisive concept. Let me just give you an example that
Speaker 9: slavery and racism are aligned with the founding principles of
Speaker 9: the United States. That's one of the divisive concepts that
Speaker 9: would ban you from getting any funding for DEI related programs.
Speaker 9: Randall Wood Fan, of course, is the Birmingham mayor, and
Speaker 9: him weighing in on this and saying that he would
Speaker 9: urge athletes to go to other states despite being a
Speaker 9: lifelong Bama fan, I think speaks volumes. It is the
Speaker 9: very thing my dad has spent his lifetime talking about.
Speaker 9: If our athletes would go to other schools because they
Speaker 9: don't respect us, how you gonna do DEI on the
Speaker 9: football team, but not in any other educational principle anyway.
Speaker 9: I think that is a thing, and hopefully other Southern
Speaker 9: mayors will take notes and protest in the same way.
Speaker 9: Of course, it has passed. It was just introduced this week,
Speaker 9: but they're doing this all over the country. We can
Speaker 9: move right along to Leonard's favorite, the Maga red bottoms.
Speaker 10: Donald Trump after he got this, Oh, you're gonna get
Speaker 10: too bad. That's what we're doing this morning. You're going
Speaker 10: to march your way to destroying democracy. That's interesting, let's
Speaker 10: wrong this down.
Speaker 2: I was on social media last night.
Speaker 20: Very interesting as you see black support eroding from Joe Biden.
Speaker 20: This is connecting with Black America because they love sneakers.
Speaker 20: They're into sneakers, they love the you know, this is
Speaker 20: a big deal, certainly in the inner city. So when
Speaker 20: you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they're like,
Speaker 20: wait a minute, this is cool. He's reaching them on
Speaker 20: a levels that defies and is above politics. The culture
Speaker 20: always trumps politics, and Trump understands culture like no politician
Speaker 20: I've ever seen.
Speaker 24: Question for you on that point, though, Well, the people
Speaker 24: that are excited about the sneakers and excited about Donald Trump,
Speaker 24: will that translated into them going out and voting for
Speaker 24: Donald Trump?
Speaker 20: Anybody willing to put four hundred bucks down for a
Speaker 20: pair of sneakers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's commitment to the love. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of nuanced to hear them, because he is right.
Speaker 3: If you do go out there and you buy Trump
Speaker 3: sneakers with one hundred dollars, you probably all go vo Trump.
Speaker 10: Yeah you're committed, And meanwhile, you're dumb mass.
Speaker 2: I'm just joking. Well can't you can't joke now.
Speaker 10: Be very clear.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like on the record, are you going to buy
Speaker 9: a pair of Trump sneakers? He introduced, It.
Speaker 2: Depends what the resale guys.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Buying for four hundreds.
Speaker 1: But that's the truth. I mean, you're sitting here joking.
Speaker 1: Butch and I will do that.
Speaker 3: They will buy it for four hundred. Just are people
Speaker 3: though sneakers coming?
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about I'll be talking about here the culture,
Speaker 1: like the guy just saying about Coachure, Yes, we would
Speaker 1: buy that for four hundred. Flip there was some resale
Speaker 1: values trade.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Anybody thinking about no politics, they
Speaker 2: come to that.
Speaker 10: No, that's a you know, I'm just telling y'all.
Speaker 9: I don't know if it's still this Fridge Montana song.
Speaker 9: But I'm real angry right now with the direction conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm about the du to y'all business.
Speaker 9: Hold on, we're talking about this man has introduced the
Speaker 9: sneaker a sneaker con and Philly last week.
Speaker 10: He's getting met with Booze.
Speaker 9: Met with Booze though, and he also is doing this
Speaker 9: right on the other side of getting slapped with the
Speaker 9: verdicts in this state.
Speaker 2: Yes, but listen, you said he got met with booths
Speaker 2: but then the sneakers sold out. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Thousand four thousand.
Speaker 9: Allegedly, this is Donald Trump's This is the same man
Speaker 9: that the reason why he got here with the lawsuit
Speaker 9: here is because he added an illegal evaluation.
Speaker 2: On his problem with you. I understand all of that, Okay, So.
Speaker 10: I just want to be clear, y'all buy any sneakers.
Speaker 2: Depends what the recess A game?
Speaker 10: It's not a game.
Speaker 9: A game TV Sunday saying that this was the end
Speaker 9: of democracy.
Speaker 2: Sneakers.
Speaker 9: If this dude can overcome this verdict by pain for
Speaker 9: with the money of the poor people who he's built
Speaker 9: this campaign on.
Speaker 2: Angela's seventy plus million people voted for him.
Speaker 9: He's I understand that, but he also is going to
Speaker 9: continue to get support if we play about what this is.
Speaker 10: It's very serious. Is on TV talking about this is
Speaker 10: the way to reach us.
Speaker 9: The way to reach us in terms of our votes
Speaker 9: and democracy and moving this country forward is not through
Speaker 9: bino damn sneaker.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: And it's not by getting on Arsennor Hall and playing
Speaker 2: the saxophone. Easy.
Speaker 10: I agree with that.
Speaker 3: It's not about you know, congress wearing can't take off
Speaker 3: and taking a knee either. But I'm just saying they
Speaker 3: all do corner stuff.
Speaker 10: This is not just corny. This is dangerous.
Speaker 9: You posted a clip this morning about the guy with
Speaker 9: the Trump the Trump supporter at Seapax, saying we're destroying democracy.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, So listen, this is what I
Speaker 2: want us to do.
Speaker 3: Okay, Instead of just getting upset and getting emotional, sometimes
Speaker 3: you should listen to these people.
Speaker 10: Have played that song.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you should listen to these people.
Speaker 3: Because I will say I do agree with him in
Speaker 3: regards to Trump having a better handle on culture, and
Speaker 3: and that's just because of how society is shifted. Donald
Speaker 3: Trump is a celebrity. He's been a pop culture icon
Speaker 3: since the eighties. Now that politics is pop culture. Trump
Speaker 3: is killing Biden from an entertainment perspective. So in this era,
Speaker 3: culture does trump politics. Democrats need to tap into culture
Speaker 3: a lot more.
Speaker 9: I agree with tapping in the culture, but I think
Speaker 9: we have to start distinguishing culture from an a fascination
Speaker 9: with rich And by the way, this man is broke
Speaker 9: because he's also not proper life.
Speaker 2: I don't think if they got nothing to do with rich.
Speaker 9: I think it has everything to do with that Black people,
Speaker 9: white people, everybody in between aspire to have something they don't.
Speaker 9: There's a book that was written back in the day
Speaker 9: called What's the Matter with Kansas. The very premise is
Speaker 9: that you are voting your dream and not your reality.
Speaker 9: I think that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 3: I don't want to get that Poeticians sell so many dreams,
Speaker 3: that's what they do.
Speaker 2: I think that's selling season.
Speaker 9: But he's not just selling the dreams of a politician.
Speaker 9: He's also selling like, oh if you yeah, sneakers and
Speaker 9: you can be like me, you can be rich like me.
Speaker 9: And that's all an illusion.
Speaker 3: Also want to say black support isn't just the roading
Speaker 3: from the Democratic Party it's eroding from politics period.
Speaker 2: Period.
Speaker 3: People think people think, just because Joe Biden might be
Speaker 3: losing support a month amongst black support, that people are
Speaker 3: going over the Trump.
Speaker 10: No, that's not I agree, They're not going over people.
Speaker 2: Just people are just disgusted with the whole political process.
Speaker 2: I agree with period.
Speaker 8: I'm just going to say, I really love you. I
Speaker 8: love this banter.
Speaker 7: I love that you call him out on plan because
Speaker 7: now I don't really know a lot about politics.
Speaker 8: So I'm gonna say I just like, go go go angel.
Speaker 2: Damn boy, regular.
Speaker 8: No, I love this.
Speaker 2: This is great.
Speaker 9: This is how our phone calls starts. We have a
Speaker 9: French Montana. We got a lot of shout outs in
Speaker 9: front page.
Speaker 2: But for the record, okay, nobody is buying Trump sneakers
Speaker 2: in this room. But if you can buy it for
Speaker 2: front hundred and go, get your money, get your money, Go,
Speaker 2: get your money.
Speaker 10: You know what you sitting.
Speaker 2: If they signed, they're going for four thousand.
Speaker 10: You guys, I want to tell you right now.
Speaker 2: Need the money. We need food on you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm not visiting them.
Speaker 10: Y'all slip around here and be off.
Speaker 2: Don't have nothing to do with being rich. That's good
Speaker 2: listening to you for four hundred and sell them for
Speaker 2: four thousand.
Speaker 9: But they're saying, if you are, you're gonna put the
Speaker 9: cast do do, dude.
Speaker 2: It is home there the retail value.
Speaker 1: I looked at Bay now they're going for two thousand
Speaker 1: back come on, man, so forty p last week and
Speaker 1: the ones that.
Speaker 9: Were signing on now you guys this week really left

Speaker 5: rich dirty.
Speaker 1: French. You know where that in show came from?
Speaker 2: N You know who called me that?
Speaker 20: Right?
Speaker 2: We were in a heart even in Vegas, and I
Speaker 2: was like, your French.
Speaker 1: He was a I was like, damn, I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1: Was a dirty bronx dang. But I was so proud
Speaker 1: of him because I didn't see friends come up from
Speaker 1: the slums, like you know, people talk about where they
Speaker 1: came from and and the things that they did.
Speaker 2: But French used to be in.
Speaker 1: The Dirty BX clubs, in the dirty Brooklyn clubs and
Speaker 1: the Dirty Queen's clubs, making the DJs play his music,
Speaker 1: and he was never that was French. That's where you
Speaker 1: would see French. I'm like, damn, you came a long
Speaker 1: way too, right, belfore that Max.
Speaker 25: Was never ignorant getting goals accomplished. Right, It's like Coke
Speaker 25: Boy's creation of kings everywhere.
Speaker 2: Oh you already got to prepare when you are they
Speaker 2: never need to use this.
Speaker 1: And that's one of my favorite joints in the album,
Speaker 1: which is the intro. It's called Dirty Bronx. You and
Speaker 1: you kind of talk about everything where you came from.
Speaker 1: Everybody talking that oh see see yeah, yeah, you talk
Speaker 1: about everybody. People comparing you the chins and and Max
Speaker 1: with wave and all that. So I think that's that's
Speaker 1: one of the dopest joints on the boat. Why Max
Speaker 1: and Cheese five and what took so damn long?
Speaker 2: French?
Speaker 25: I felt like, you know, I needed I needed to
Speaker 25: get everything out the way. Then go back to the
Speaker 25: mixtape vibes. I feel like the game, I always try
Speaker 25: to go where the where the puck is going out,
Speaker 25: where the pucket is act, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 25: So I feel like the game needs mixtapes. I feel
Speaker 25: like we lost a lot of you know, It's like
Speaker 25: that feeling is not there no more, Like like albums
Speaker 25: is dope. Everybody's getting used to it. I feel like
Speaker 25: the mixsafe games, just like I want to hear the
Speaker 25: Wayne mix Safes. I want to hear Whiskalief for Dropped Orange,
Speaker 25: you know what I'm saying. And you know, I just
Speaker 25: want to get back to that vibe and I want
Speaker 25: to lead the wave with the mixtapes. I like how
Speaker 25: you set the tone with Dirty Bronx.
Speaker 3: Why did you feel the need to confront like all
Speaker 3: the negativity that's been directed towards.
Speaker 2: You, Because I wanted to get that out the way
Speaker 2: so we can focus on the music. You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 25: It's like, you know, it's like I learned from from
Speaker 25: from Eminem you know, the tactics he used. I learned
Speaker 25: from you know, Jay when he did four four four,
Speaker 25: And I learned from you know, I'm like a student
Speaker 25: of the game. So it's like, you know, this is
Speaker 25: this is me interviewing myself on my own album just
Speaker 25: in case, you know, cause you got your fans, but
Speaker 25: then you also got your haters that listen to your music.
Speaker 25: So the hater's going to head theirselfs in there and
Speaker 25: your fans gonna be right there. And I told you so,
Speaker 25: it's like, that's the kind of vibe I was going with,
Speaker 25: you know.
Speaker 8: But it ended on five because we do need more mixtapes.
Speaker 8: Why are you ending it on five man?
Speaker 25: Because I just wanted to give them my awe and
Speaker 25: just leave it right there. Yeah, it just starts something new.
Speaker 2: But you never know. You know, jay Z made the
Speaker 2: Black album and he backed out and you know, so
Speaker 2: it's like you never know. So this is a retirement
Speaker 2: album series. At the end of the series series, what
Speaker 2: do you do to make all your money? French Ship, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's hustle. Hustled for a long time.
Speaker 3: I mean, we know the Dirty bronbody. By the way,
Speaker 3: that was the beauty of Dirty Bronx. Because you put
Speaker 3: a lot of things in perspective. I think I knew
Speaker 3: that you were the most screamed African born ar Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I didn't know you had told that many records.
Speaker 25: Yeah, a million, yeah, like like like one hundred million
Speaker 25: between minds and all the features that I was. Yeah,
Speaker 25: I mean you figure like Unforgettable Alan, it's like thirteen million.
Speaker 25: That's just like that's like by itself. So but I mean, man,
Speaker 25: I've been on some big record. My catalog was crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you say on album you say, people think
Speaker 3: it's just your features. Yeah, with you the main feature, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because you know.
Speaker 25: You still look at them all the way ups and
Speaker 25: you look at like, you know what I'm saying, like
Speaker 25: the loyal Chris Brown and all those like you know
Speaker 25: that was part of some big features and and and
Speaker 25: you know, like the catalog is bare, and I still
Speaker 25: ain't selling you.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about selling that, just buying like this building
Speaker 2: across the street from you. How much you think your
Speaker 2: catalog were.
Speaker 25: I don't know if I always felt like, you know,
Speaker 25: if somebody's trying to buy something from you, then guess
Speaker 25: you know then how much money they.
Speaker 2: Gonna make and buy buying that to take a loss.
Speaker 2: So you know, I always looked at it like that
Speaker 2: at one time.
Speaker 1: Well, if you know French, you know when French goes
Speaker 1: out and he knows you, he's going to invite you
Speaker 1: to his party, right, That's who French is as a person.
Speaker 1: Like if y'all smoking, y'all smoking together, y'all drinking, you're
Speaker 1: gonna take care of You're gonna make sure you're good.
Speaker 1: Then there was one time where you just stopped right
Speaker 1: because you said you had to get back healthy. Stop drinking,
Speaker 1: you stop smoking. Are you still in that that phase
Speaker 1: and the more drinking and smoking off?
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 25: You know, you know when you sit across from like
Speaker 25: a billionaire or something, you know, as soon as you
Speaker 25: take that sip of liquor take that weed, like you're
Speaker 25: already richer than him, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 25: I just had to focus up. We lost a lot
Speaker 25: of money and made a lot of bad business deals
Speaker 25: with you know, might might have overslept and lost a bag,
Speaker 25: might have did this. I did that, you know, and
Speaker 25: I got a chance to make some generational wealth and
Speaker 25: change generations down, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I was like, you know, let me just focus
Speaker 2: up and not leave no bags on the table.
Speaker 1: Do you have a fear for I know a lot
Speaker 1: of artists say that sometimes they feel like that drug
Speaker 1: or that alcohol puts them in the right zone where
Speaker 1: you have a fear for that Damn, if I don't
Speaker 1: drink like I used to, or I don't smoke, that
Speaker 1: I might not be in the same zone as I
Speaker 1: was and making popad or you ain't worried about nothing,
Speaker 1: or you know some of those other records.
Speaker 25: Man, I've been popping perks for like ten years, you
Speaker 25: know what I'm saying, Oxy's perks, drinking this twenty years.
Speaker 25: It got to the point where I wasn't getting drunk
Speaker 25: or high anymore. Right Like now I'm higher than I
Speaker 25: was when I was taking the drugs. It's just like
Speaker 25: my body just like you know, it's like in a shock.
Speaker 25: But I feel like making music is a passion, is love.
Speaker 25: It had nothing to do with drugs, you know what
Speaker 25: I'm saying. It was just the drugs kept the negative
Speaker 25: around me. You know what I'm saying, like the people
Speaker 25: I lost people when I stopped doing drugs, I didn't
Speaker 25: lose the passion.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Because you know, when you
Speaker 2: drink and you take drugs. Let you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You let the devil in you let you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Like I was inviting.
Speaker 25: Everybody and everybody wasn't inviting me. You know what I'm
Speaker 25: saying that everybody had motives, and some of them had
Speaker 25: the negative. I mean, I don't mind helping people that
Speaker 25: have motives, you know what I'm saying. That's that's that's
Speaker 25: how we get our blessings. But there's people that have
Speaker 25: motives that have negative motives towards you. I have anybody
Speaker 25: to have a positive motive towards me. So I feel
Speaker 25: like I was letting the negative and the positive, and
Speaker 25: that's why things started happening.
Speaker 3: And this now, what about your passion for sleeping with
Speaker 3: rappers wives? That's inviting the devil two French huh? Come on,
Speaker 3: you say on the album, come on, you know what
Speaker 3: that's but that's where hand came from. In the club
Speaker 3: and they be like, you know, people try to do
Speaker 3: business deals in the middle of the club. They're like, so, so,
Speaker 3: so let me tell you the story about that.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 25: Me and Drake was first working on the record another Sniper, Yeah,
Speaker 25: working on the record. The first line he said he
Speaker 25: was like on double MG, a rapper's wife he was like,
Speaker 25: we should start off like that.
Speaker 2: Then I just took it and I just ran with
Speaker 2: it and I just made the first line that. But
Speaker 2: what they got to do with doing it in real life?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 17: Huh?
Speaker 2: What I got to do it life? No, honestly, I
Speaker 2: never did. I know nobody Okay, okay, no rapper wire Okay,
Speaker 2: so just rap rap cat Oh yeah this rap okay, okay, all.
Speaker 1: Right, we got more with French Montana when we come back.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, good Morning. Yeah, we're still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Breex's own French Montana, DJ Envy, Jess, Hilarry,
Speaker 1: Charlamagne to God, Charlamagne.
Speaker 3: You're also on Dirty Brunch. You talk about buying your block,
Speaker 3: but you said that Nipsey. The Nipsey situation made you
Speaker 3: made you pause. Yeah, can you elaborate on it.
Speaker 25: I feel like watching that video with nip was like
Speaker 25: one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in
Speaker 25: my life. All he was trying to do is just
Speaker 25: shy to change his neighborhood and just bring some some
Speaker 25: some great things back and try to buy his block.
Speaker 25: And I feel like watching that scared me away from
Speaker 25: trying to do the same thing. Look what happened to chinks?
Speaker 25: Chanks got shot in Queens, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 25: Look what happened, you know, to a lot of people
Speaker 25: that don't have a name.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, a lot of full soldier.
Speaker 25: So I was just like, you know what, why come
Speaker 25: back and do that when I'm just seeing everybody around
Speaker 25: me just fall into it?
Speaker 2: Damn So how did you overcome that? Or have you
Speaker 2: overcome that?
Speaker 25: That went the calabassas. I'm still not but I'm still
Speaker 25: but I still come back. But it just you know,
Speaker 25: at the end of the day, it's just you know,
Speaker 25: it always comes, you know, they always come from the inside,
Speaker 25: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So you just gotta be careful how you you know,
Speaker 2: how you let people get, you know, get in contact
Speaker 2: with your touch. You can't be just easily touched.
Speaker 25: Easily get in contact with easily, so anybody could pull
Speaker 25: up on you to do anything to you.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You gotta be able to
Speaker 2: be like a hawk on top of the mountain. Just
Speaker 2: watch your prey.
Speaker 25: Whenever you want something, you just go handle your business
Speaker 25: and dip. I feel like that's like advice for anybody
Speaker 25: that that's making real money. I got a lot of
Speaker 25: jealousy that come from where we come from.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 25: It should never be a situation where somebody can go
Speaker 25: to the to the block and see you at a store,
Speaker 25: this and that.
Speaker 2: When you do you know some people Jay Z said, no,
Speaker 2: caters just want to kill you with a name. But
Speaker 2: even moving to calab Badgies, I mean, Pop got got
Speaker 2: in caling. No, no, you're not getting through this security.
Speaker 2: I lived next door to Chris Jenna, the next door
Speaker 2: to cross street from j Lo Becase Will Smith down
Speaker 2: the block, his kids walking up like you're not gonna
Speaker 2: get through. They know about that.
Speaker 25: But at the end of the day, Pop had no security.
Speaker 25: Pop had a gun on him. Pop had the wrong
Speaker 25: people around him. I was supposed to meet up a
Speaker 25: Pop that night. He had a party at his spread. Yeah,
Speaker 25: we was supposed to meet up. I went to the
Speaker 25: strip club and after the strip club, we were supposed
Speaker 25: to go to his house. Because he sent everybody to
Speaker 25: address for the party. You know what I'm saying. He
Speaker 25: had and he had put that post up a couple
Speaker 25: of hours before. You know, he had no security.
Speaker 2: And even when I first went to LA when you
Speaker 2: go to the Hills, it's like they don't have no
Speaker 2: no gated communities. It's just like the fences like the
Speaker 2: size of your hip. Let me just jump right over them,
Speaker 2: you know. So he was supposed to have a party
Speaker 2: that night. That night, he was supposed to have a party.
Speaker 2: Oh so that's why people had the addy. It wasn't
Speaker 2: just that everybody was saying it was a post on this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he would sending addies to us, me and everybody else
Speaker 2: that was there. But got you, got you? Yeah, he
Speaker 2: had posted the Mary package that was sent to him. Yikes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: say they got that record? So what happened with Drake
Speaker 2: on a because I know you and Drake made a
Speaker 2: lot of music he said on this project.
Speaker 25: Yeah, we did, but we got the documentary coming out
Speaker 25: in June and he executive producer, and so we're just
Speaker 25: gonna push the records back to them.
Speaker 2: Did he have to choose?
Speaker 3: Because it felt like and I'm just looking in the
Speaker 3: Maga cheese in a way, it felt like I'm like
Speaker 3: the Kanye EPs.
Speaker 2: He just on a few records.
Speaker 25: No, I mean me and Kanye was locked in for
Speaker 25: like a month, okay, he had he had rented out
Speaker 25: the hotel for like a month, and we knocked out
Speaker 25: a bunch of bunch of records. And the sound is
Speaker 25: we were doing like two different sounds. When I was
Speaker 25: coming in, we was doing the sample vibe, that whole
Speaker 25: like you know, him producing, and like the whole graduation sound.
Speaker 25: But then the news sound he got, now it was
Speaker 25: something that he was working on. So I was like,
Speaker 25: you know what, Bro, I'm gonna just take these records
Speaker 25: and I'm just put them on Mac and Cheese five
Speaker 25: because MC and Cheese five got a certain sound.
Speaker 2: Even bryceon Taylor. He sent me like this this afro
Speaker 2: b vibe. I was like, yo, Bro, send me that
Speaker 2: grimy one. He sent me one. It was just like
Speaker 2: a certain sound was going forth for Maac and she's five.
Speaker 8: What was it like working with today's version of Kanye Man?
Speaker 25: I mean, when they come to music, I don't I
Speaker 25: don't feel like you get too many versions from him.
Speaker 2: You just get the music, you know.
Speaker 25: Yeah, I don't feel like you get too many versions
Speaker 25: from him. I just I feel like he's He's what
Speaker 25: entertainment is he? I mean, I feel like being so
Speaker 25: unpredictable is like as entertaining, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: When it cost you billions of dollars.

Speaker 1: Out.
Speaker 2: Man, I ain't gonna lie. Kanye's going back and she's
Speaker 2: five webside. Gun is hard.
Speaker 1: That's hard. That's hard.

Speaker 3: New York DJ's never used to play your music and
Speaker 3: you had to go down South to get your recognition.
Speaker 5: I talked about that like that exactly what he said, exactly,
Speaker 5: had to go down there to get popping, chopping down.
Speaker 2: You all wasn't playing this music.
Speaker 3: Always say, if you think about the last few people
Speaker 3: from New York that became big time, New York wasn't
Speaker 3: really supporting them like that.
Speaker 2: And not Nikki, not the eighth a model you I
Speaker 2: don't even know.

Speaker 25: And after he got locked up, he just left me
Speaker 25: with the black ball. I was just like, So I

Speaker 25: know what used to remember that kid? He used to
Speaker 25: make save some maxim so.
Speaker 2: Was just like, you know but it took me ten years,
Speaker 2: like oh two, I dropped the first Cocaine City to
Speaker 2: oh nine.
Speaker 3: That's when I got signed bea. People didn't think you
Speaker 3: serious is a rapper. They remember you was the DVD guy.
Speaker 2: At first at first, but but the DVDs.
Speaker 25: You know, there was a time when Envy had an
Speaker 25: artist rec cafe. It was a time would Clue have fab.
Speaker 25: It was a time where where Greenland had coconine. So
Speaker 25: so nobody was letting nobody rap. So this one guy
Speaker 25: named Smack came out with the most brilliant IDA ever
Speaker 25: bringing all the rap and he was putting Shay Davis
Speaker 25: on it.
Speaker 2: YEP.
Speaker 25: I was like, yo, I know all the drug dealers,
Speaker 25: I know all the rappers. Let me make Cocaine City
Speaker 25: DVD and I'm put myself in the middle. How you
Speaker 25: put Shay Davis? People didn't know I was on making
Speaker 25: Cocaine City DVD. People throw somebody else making it, and
Speaker 25: they was putting me in it. So by the time
Speaker 25: the fifth volume came, Acon called to sign me. You
Speaker 25: know what I'm saying, because they didn't even know I
Speaker 25: was the DVD guy.
Speaker 3: Was this and that?
Speaker 25: So, but the whole object, the whole time was for
Speaker 25: me to be a rap star, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 25: So I was making the money. We would make Cocaine
Speaker 25: City DVD would make thirty thirty thousand copies five dollars apiece.
Speaker 25: You'd make it about quarter million and a half a
Speaker 25: million dollars. And promoting myself. Wow, people was paying Smack
Speaker 25: fifty thousand dollars to get on Smack DVD every time.
Speaker 25: I was making three hundred thousand dollars to five hundred
Speaker 25: thousand every volume, and I was pulling myself on it.
Speaker 25: By time the fifth volume came, it was just like
Speaker 25: so I was always ahead of myself, like you know,
Speaker 25: I mean, like from the beginning.
Speaker 2: So half a million dollars a DVD, but you know,
Speaker 2: you put it.
Speaker 25: Right back into it, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 25: he was always invested, investing for the big picture. So
Speaker 25: by the time Akon signed me that when he gave
Speaker 25: you the fake watch, oh Man shot Acon, the second
Speaker 25: watch is fake too. I ain't gonna do that, Acon,
Speaker 25: But you know, we had a shopping deal. Then after that,
Speaker 25: the shopping deal didn't work because he had Lady Gaga
Speaker 25: this and that whatever, whatever, didn't worked, but you know,
Speaker 25: I appreciate Acon just for the for the opportunity.
Speaker 2: Then after that, that's when I got with Max B
Speaker 2: and this and that. But that's but that's what it was.
Speaker 2: That was Max doing it is because I know there
Speaker 2: was rumors that he was coming out last year.
Speaker 25: Yeah, he just put coming home on his page. So
Speaker 25: we're all weighing, Well, yeah, we're all weighing.

Speaker 25: Jim cardy ye, Yeah, they're from Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: Yeah. What makes you want to embrace the young generation
Speaker 2: like that? Man? I always looked at myself like the
Speaker 2: bridge to the music game.
Speaker 25: I felt like I could always tap in with with
Speaker 25: the Kanye's you know what I'm saying, the J's or
Speaker 25: whatever it is, and it's still tap back in with
Speaker 25: it with the pop smokes, the shmurders and do this,
Speaker 25: do this and that.
Speaker 2: I felt like I was always like the bridge in between.
Speaker 2: And how do you deal with all this now? Because
Speaker 2: you've seen everything? I mean, you didn't see shootouts, you
Speaker 2: didn't see death, you didn't see so.
Speaker 1: Much because if you've been there, but you also do know,
Speaker 1: as part of your music is being there, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: being able to write that and wrap that and all that.
Speaker 25: You know, you know what I'm saying, You're gonna You're
Speaker 25: gonna do that. But but sometimes you get caught up
Speaker 25: too much in that, man, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 25: especially if you come home from jail.
Speaker 2: You want to live the life, you want to do this,
Speaker 2: do that. I mean, it's just when when when things
Speaker 2: happen to people, they never expected to happen. That's why
Speaker 2: it happened.
Speaker 3: Man, when things happen to people, you never expected it
Speaker 3: to happen. That's why it happened.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 25: Chains would have never wanted to that hookah spot four
Speaker 25: am in the morning, man in the morning by himself,
Speaker 25: if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: No, he has security.
Speaker 1: He has security.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had security with him and everything. Well, you
Speaker 2: got shot.
Speaker 25: It was in the car, so I mean he got
Speaker 25: shot six times in the car. He has he has
Speaker 25: security with him and everything. It was four in the morning,
Speaker 25: leaving a hookah spot, chasing the joint on the side
Speaker 25: of the road.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know what I mean, Like he didn't
Speaker 2: expect that to happen. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So what's up when when you think about all of
Speaker 3: the violence that you've seen, were you afraid to sign
Speaker 3: drill rappers?
Speaker 2: I don't know. We was drilled before drill.
Speaker 3: Because everybody was saying that there was a period it
Speaker 3: felt like labels were about to back.
Speaker 25: We heard drill music before drill music. Me and Max
Speaker 25: b we had people the whole in New York.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you don't think drill is a sound,
Speaker 2: It's just a it's a lifestyle style energy. Yeah, Chicago
Speaker 2: is like that. So what what is drill? D think?
Speaker 2: What is drill? Right now? How drill is like anybody
Speaker 2: do it?
Speaker 8: Like you could just come from college and just had
Speaker 8: a whole good life and just drill rap. Now, just
Speaker 8: do that now. It wasn't like that for me when
Speaker 8: I was coming.
Speaker 2: For me had to really do it.
Speaker 3: But that's the problem though, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like a lot of rap, like you saw Pat Joe say,
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of his lyrics were live, not this
Speaker 3: new generation.
Speaker 2: He started drilling. Bro that's bad.
Speaker 8: We can't I really live. I really was rapping what
Speaker 8: I really loved.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't true that you said that J Cole
Speaker 2: was supposed to executive produce my first album. Yeah. J
Speaker 2: Cole heard my first album in Miami.
Speaker 25: We was all in Trina House and I was playing
Speaker 25: for him and he was like, yo, bro let me
Speaker 25: executive produce it. Then we was on tour with Club Paradise,
Speaker 25: so with Drake, so we all just jumped on tour.
Speaker 25: But honestly, part of me was like, Yo, I'm gonna
Speaker 25: let him just put his name on it. But if
Speaker 25: I'm gonna do an album with J Cole, I'm gonna
Speaker 25: want Jay Cole to do with me from the beginning,
Speaker 25: so I could benefit from the J Cole experience, you know.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying. I come to him with the album
Speaker 2: already done, like y'all just slap your name on it.
Speaker 3: We think you have better chemistry with Cold and Drake.
Speaker 3: I feel like Drake for something like y'all like stay
Speaker 3: for one and two, y'all go back and forth.
Speaker 2: Drake, Drake my twin man, that's that's my bro.
Speaker 25: Me and him definitely got better, better chemistry, just just
Speaker 25: because you know, when Drake first came and people didn't
Speaker 25: really know who he was. He came and you know,
Speaker 25: the New York and this and that, and we met
Speaker 25: up and again in Miami when I was doing Ross album.
Speaker 25: We did State Scheming and Drake first heard it when
Speaker 25: Ross played it for him and he was like, Yo,
Speaker 25: I heard the whole album. I want to do this joint,
Speaker 25: you know what I'm saying, And just like we're building
Speaker 25: out from pop Dad to you know, the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I felt like like it was it was more natural.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, that's too Drake's best versus. Yeah, definitely it was.
Speaker 2: It was it was moments. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It was moments that was crazy. Who's math more Cardashians.
Speaker 2: You a drink, Jesus, Christ, Jesus, you want to get
Speaker 2: into what I mean? Since we got drill in the building,
Speaker 2: let's go to that forty one, so well, we appreciate
Speaker 2: you for joining us. Man, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Mac and cheese five. Make sure you
Speaker 1: get it. It's out today.
Speaker 2: It's New York in the building.
Speaker 1: Everybody, it's d J n V. Just hilarious, charlamage the guy.
Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3: Let's get I'm only I'm only having conversations with French
Speaker 3: Montagna and d Thing and Kens will be after after
Speaker 3: five o'clock.
Speaker 2: From after five he sounds like young and may Kens
Speaker 2: I mean not kensel Ding.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I like it. It's the cool vibe that shouldn't
Speaker 8: be an insult.
Speaker 1: You sound just like well, let's get toes with the met.
Speaker 2: Rober miw just don't do is gonna bring numbers.
Speaker 1: On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 7: Yesterday, nor Money shared the cover art and the name
Speaker 7: of her long awaited debut album.
Speaker 8: She revealed the name of her album.
Speaker 7: It's called Dopamine, but she didn't share the release date
Speaker 7: or anything like that. Now we know no Money from
Speaker 7: Fifth Harmony, but since she left the group, she's been
Speaker 7: only doing like features and things like that, you know, singles,
Speaker 7: but she's never dropped the album. So this is really
Speaker 7: really big for her. Fans have been awaiting this. But
Speaker 7: what it's sad is while she was working on an album,
Speaker 7: both of her parents were diagnosed with cancer. Her mom
Speaker 7: had yeah, her mom had her second battle with cancer
Speaker 7: while she was recording the album, and right after her
Speaker 7: mom was like going through treatment. After our mom finished treatment,
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty one, her father got diagnosed with cancer.
Speaker 7: So it was you got to imagine, like, in the
Speaker 7: middle of creating a body of work like that, your
Speaker 7: first album that your fans are longing for, you know.
Speaker 7: She just wanted to be with her parents at the time.
Speaker 7: So at one point she was like, no, f all list,
Speaker 7: this is bigger than the music. It's bigger than what
Speaker 7: I'm trying to accomplish.
Speaker 8: This is life or death.
Speaker 7: I wanted to be there for them, and it's all
Speaker 7: she wanted to do was be there for them. And
Speaker 7: then she said, honestly, music is what got them through
Speaker 7: the cancer treatments. Like her parents really loves music. And
Speaker 7: she remember being on FaceTime with her mom while she
Speaker 7: was undergoing chemo and asking her, you know, how's the
Speaker 7: music going, how's the music coming. And as hard as
Speaker 7: it was for me not to be with them as
Speaker 7: much as I wanted to. Ultimately pushing pushing through me,
Speaker 7: the circumstances of the last few years feel a light,
Speaker 7: feel a bit lighter for my parents. So that's why
Speaker 7: she puts so much into the album, you know, just
Speaker 7: trying to because she don't want to make She don't
Speaker 7: want to put on no bs, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7: And seeing how like she felt that the music was
Speaker 7: hailing for her parents because they they they were still
Speaker 7: aware and very very much pushing her to.
Speaker 8: Do her thing while they were going through what they
Speaker 8: were going through.
Speaker 7: So I'm happy about her album, but all prayers up
Speaker 7: for her parents and just imagine how she's going through.
Speaker 8: She just wants to be there for them too.
Speaker 7: That's hard, yeah, parime, while you're in the middle of
Speaker 7: creating your very first album.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: On another note, Orlando Brown shares who he made love with.
Speaker 7: A video surfaced online of Orlando Brown listing people in
Speaker 7: the industry who we made love with with got audio.
Speaker 2: When it was girl, So.
Speaker 1: We make love with.
Speaker 2: Out here?

Speaker 1: love to Drake Caroliams Terrece Howard Usher. Usher's disgussion and.
Speaker 2: Why you don't even know hoes?
Speaker 1: My dad said, his daddest your dad, Lucifer.
Speaker 2: So again I just felt like this man should God
Speaker 2: bless that young man. Stand the mealing energy.
Speaker 1: Absolutely there was, there was some more, some more the
Speaker 1: lists when it was a girl, I didn't smash it again.
Speaker 1: So how you made love? We made just made love with.
Speaker 8: The main God.
Speaker 2: Man want to build a wall around you niggas so bad?
Speaker 7: I was wondering, like I heard him saying before before
Speaker 7: he said, and sometimes I understand the white man a
Speaker 7: lot man, y'all, didn't you?
Speaker 2: And the times I get why he do things? Did
Speaker 2: he do?
Speaker 18: Y'all?
Speaker 8: Y'all was getting it in like y'all was making love.
Speaker 2: Segregation concept that was executed.
Speaker 7: But a lot of fans weren't happy with the videos,
Speaker 7: saying that people who recorded it and posted it isn't
Speaker 7: solid and that you know, the people around him, they
Speaker 7: need to look out for him instead of like, you know,
Speaker 7: exploiting them like this. And you know, you know Orlando
Speaker 7: is not rapped, so you know something is not something
Speaker 7: ain't clicking.
Speaker 3: Yes, you're absolutely right, and what makes it messed up?
Speaker 3: You can't if you're one of those people that he named.
Speaker 3: You probably want to sue him for defamation, but you know, you.
Speaker 7: Know it's not yeah, like you can't even take it
Speaker 7: like as serious, you know, and he only listed men,
Speaker 7: you know what I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying, only and you like, come on, y' what do
Speaker 2: I identify? You tell us.
Speaker 1: Jason is a lot on.
Speaker 2: Yo.
Speaker 7: Anyway, JT and Solange link up in Italy. Solange recently
Speaker 7: took JT out for girls' night out in Italy.
Speaker 2: Listen, this is like, this is amazing.
Speaker 8: I posted it. I mean I didn't post it.
Speaker 2: JT posted it. She said date night.
Speaker 7: Solo took me to a symphony in Italy. I feel
Speaker 7: like a rich black Disney princess. They went to see
Speaker 7: an Italian symphony. Now, I ain't gonna lie. I've probably
Speaker 7: have been bored out of my mind, but just experiencing
Speaker 7: a new like something new, sheer rap girly.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. I'm saying that she don't
Speaker 8: do nice things, but like this, they look like they
Speaker 8: had fun.
Speaker 7: Like it sparked and the moment sparked conversation about black
Speaker 7: excellence in the celebration of black luxury, and they both
Speaker 7: just look so amazing and just cool. Like I said, symphonies.
Speaker 7: I don't know, but JT looked good and and Solange
Speaker 7: look good. This is this is is good seeing another
Speaker 7: side of JT or just getting to explore different experiences.
Speaker 8: So I thought this was really nice.
Speaker 2: Thought it was killed.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was very very nice. Yeah, but that's it,
Speaker 8: all right?
Speaker 2: Well that is yes with the message now, Yes, sir,
Speaker 2: we are giving that donkey shut up.
Speaker 15: Man.
Speaker 1: What I don't know what you and Orlando Brown got
Speaker 1: going on. I'm not judging you. You sed to my brother, bro.
Speaker 1: He said what he said, may Love, I'm.
Speaker 15: Not that man.
Speaker 2: That man is not That man is clearly something off.
Speaker 2: Don't make fun of that man. I'm not all right.
Speaker 3: All right, we need a Fox News punted Raymond at
Speaker 3: Rayo to come to the front of the congregation.
Speaker 2: We like to have a world in place, all right.
Speaker 1: Well we'll get to that next and then we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a conversation about Donald Trump and the sneakers. Yes,
Speaker 1: Angela Rai Charlamayn argued out in this hall for like
Speaker 1: twenty minutes.
Speaker 15: We do.
Speaker 1: She's upset, that's all we do. They threw me into it.
Speaker 1: I tried to get out. No, but we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that when we come back as well. Dogg in the
Speaker 1: days on the way wake, if you're liked into the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, this is a miracle.
Speaker 24: There is no question that there are problems in this
Speaker 24: country between police and community.
Speaker 21: Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that
Speaker 21: police killing of a black man.
Speaker 2: Now the new developments in the deadly spawshooting Rampa man. Yes,
Speaker 2: it was a really bad day for him and this.
Speaker 10: Is what he did, and so we are in a
Speaker 10: state of emergency.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: White supremacist violence is always have been the number one
Speaker 3: threat to our society.
Speaker 2: But I'm also very proud that my wife was white.
Speaker 2: The breakfast club bitches, all right.
Speaker 10: Sherenny, please tell me why was I your Donkey.
Speaker 20: Of the day.
Speaker 3: Donkey to Day for Friday, February twenty third goes to
Speaker 3: the Fox News pundit Raymond Arryo I think it's pronounced
Speaker 3: last name. Raymond was on Fox's big weekend show and
Speaker 3: they were suggesting that black voters were now abandoned the
Speaker 3: Democratic Party or have been abandoning the Democratic Party and
Speaker 3: President Joe Biden because the former president Donald Trump is
Speaker 3: now selling sneakers let's listen.
Speaker 2: I was on social media last night.
Speaker 20: Very interesting as you see black support eroding from Joe Biden.
Speaker 20: This is connecting with Black America because they love sneakers.
Speaker 20: They're into sneakers, they love you know, there's a big deal,
Speaker 20: certainly in the inner city. So when you have Trump
Speaker 20: roll out his sneaker line, they're like, wait a minute,
Speaker 20: this is cool. He's reaching them on a levels that
Speaker 20: defies and is above politics. The culture always trumps politics,
Speaker 20: and Trump understands culture like no politician I've ever seen.
Speaker 24: Question for you on that point, though, Well, the people
Speaker 24: that are excited about the sneakers and excited about Donald Trump,
Speaker 24: will that translate into them going out and voting for
Speaker 24: Donald Trump?
Speaker 20: Anybody willing to put four hundred bucks down for a
Speaker 20: pair of sneakers? Yeah, I think that's commitment and love.
Speaker 2: We are a very unserious country.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we shouldn't be unseerious at a time like
Speaker 3: this when democracy is on the line. But we also
Speaker 3: need to be learning from who you consider to be opposition.
Speaker 3: There is some things Raymond said that I agree with,
Speaker 3: meaning Trump understands culture better than any politician currently. Not
Speaker 3: Black culture, though entertainment culture and we live in an
Speaker 3: arasat work. Culture does trump politics, by the way, maybe
Speaker 3: it always has. I remember Bill Clinton going on our
Speaker 3: senior Hall back in the day and playing the saxophone.
Speaker 3: Y'all started calling Bill Clinton the first black president after that. Okay,
Speaker 3: remember members of Congress in twenty twenty when they was
Speaker 3: wearing kintate cloth and.
Speaker 2: Taking a knee.
Speaker 3: You know, I will say I also agree with him
Speaker 3: in regarding that Trump having a better handle on culture,
Speaker 3: and that's also just because of how society has shifted.
Speaker 3: Never forget, Donald Trump's a celebrity. Okay, He's been a
Speaker 3: pop coach icon since the eighties, and now that politics
Speaker 3: is pop culture. Trump is just killing Biden from an
Speaker 3: entertainment perspective. You know, I just mentioned Bill Clinton playing
Speaker 3: the saxon our senio Congress nay wore to kN take clock.
Speaker 2: It took a knee.
Speaker 3: Hillary came on Breakfast Club talking about hot sauce, and
Speaker 3: Beyonce had formation out.
Speaker 2: It happens.
Speaker 3: But Raymond Areo is getting donkey of the day because,
Speaker 3: just like so many other people in politics on.
Speaker 2: Both sides, they just think black people are simple.
Speaker 3: I don't understand why folks believe Black people don't want
Speaker 3: tangible things change for their vote.
Speaker 2: You know what that tangible thing is? Money? People want
Speaker 2: upward mobility.
Speaker 3: Black folks aren't leaving the Democratic Party because they're supporting Trump.
Speaker 2: I mean, some might be, but most Black people I know,
Speaker 2: they just fed up with politics period.
Speaker 1: They don't want it.
Speaker 3: They won't be one over because Biden is doing the
Speaker 3: latest TikTok challenge. They won't be one over because Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris is reciting rap lyrics. They won't be one over
Speaker 3: because Trump is selling sneak because they will be one
Speaker 3: over when you offer them something that will provide them
Speaker 3: upward mobility.
Speaker 2: In this country, it's simple, Okay.
Speaker 3: People calling for reparations because it's old, but also because
Speaker 3: it's something that will provide financial relief. People get excited
Speaker 3: over student loan debt being wiped out because it's something
Speaker 3: that provides financial relief. People get excited over affordable healthcare
Speaker 3: because it's a hordible. It's something that provides financial relief.
Speaker 3: Everything revolves around money, upward mobility. Okay, why do you
Speaker 3: think people love the stimulus checks? The PPP money money, money,
Speaker 3: That's what all Americans care about. But I'm telling you
Speaker 3: that's what black people want. Start offering black people actual
Speaker 3: tangible things. Okay, I speak to black people, and they
Speaker 3: want the government to do more to confront white supremacy.
Speaker 3: Black people want you to do something to protect voting rights.
Speaker 3: Black people want police reform. Black people want, you know,
Speaker 3: more student that relief. Great job, you know that the
Speaker 3: Biden administration has done on that so far. And once again,
Speaker 3: black people want money. It's really that simple. It's not
Speaker 3: rocket science here. So that's what Raymond is completely off thinking.
Speaker 3: All it takes is a sneaker to get black people
Speaker 3: to come out and vote. Now, let's just talk business
Speaker 3: for a second. How much you say them sneakers was
Speaker 3: reselling for him.
Speaker 2: Two thousand without a signature, up to eight thousand with
Speaker 2: a Trump.
Speaker 1: Signature on it, and they cost three nine nine outs.
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a flip. Okay, that's a hell
Speaker 2: of a flip.
Speaker 1: Folks.
Speaker 2: People still hustle this baby.
Speaker 3: Don't think just because you see someone buying these sneakers
Speaker 3: that they automatically support Trump. Now, if you are a
Speaker 3: Trump lover and you went out and bought the sneakers, yeah,
Speaker 3: nine times out of ten, you're probably gonna vote for them.
Speaker 3: Some people just buying these sneakers to resell, okay, some
Speaker 3: folks just trying to eat because this country doesn't provide
Speaker 3: upward mobility for us.
Speaker 2: So I got to go out here and get it
Speaker 2: on my own.
Speaker 3: Now, the president of the Fat Lives Matter Committee is here,
Speaker 3: the good brother Max. I don't know why he just
Speaker 3: isn't already sitting in the room.
Speaker 2: It takes him.
Speaker 3: Takes him twenty seconds to walk two feet. Good morning,
Speaker 3: Good morning Mac. He Now talk to me, Mac. What's
Speaker 3: your perspective on this. You had a perspective.
Speaker 5: Yeah, See, here's the thing. I think it's all about
Speaker 5: right idea, wrong execution, you know what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 5: I get what they were trying to do with the sneakers,
Speaker 5: but they did it like if somebody just you know,
Speaker 5: got b ET plus for the first week and they're like, oh,
Speaker 5: I see sneakers.
Speaker 2: And all this this is what black people want.
Speaker 5: Okay, there's other things that you could offer us that
Speaker 5: will kind of sway our votesal what you.
Speaker 2: Think outside of.
Speaker 1: Go to hell?
Speaker 5: Outside of reparations. Clearly that that's easy. But my suggestion
Speaker 5: is politicians give us a break from RNT. Give us
Speaker 5: a month off, maybe February Black History Month, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. It's less days anyway, so we're paying
Speaker 5: for all the days anyway, we're getting CHEAPD anyway, We're
Speaker 5: playing regular price for the same amount of D.
Speaker 14: Like that.
Speaker 2: And by the way, that's something that revolves around financial relief.
Speaker 5: Continue, absolutely give us a four pack of Beyonce tickets
Speaker 5: with one Rihanna album. If we could get four, and
Speaker 5: it don't have to be the country tour, it could
Speaker 5: be her next one whatever she does after that. But
Speaker 5: some four Renaissance tickets and hust a Rihanna album.
Speaker 2: I don't like that. I might vote for her. That's
Speaker 2: whoever it is. That's good resale value to though.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Once again, it's something that revolves around money, right.
Speaker 5: Okay, give us another season of Lovecraft Country if somebody
Speaker 5: can make that happen.
Speaker 1: Somebody don't know.
Speaker 2: If you were passed by. Okay, this is not what
Speaker 2: I wanted. What I want I thought you had. I
Speaker 2: thought you had real Could you stop?
Speaker 3: Please get Raymond Rio the biggest sea hull Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: I thought you had real tangents. This is a serious time.
Speaker 3: So you do the and that's what would make you
Speaker 3: vote for truck?
Speaker 5: If they let Chris Brown perform at the super Bowl,
Speaker 5: I will vote for whoever make that happen.
Speaker 2: Man by immediately, Man on.
Speaker 1: The floor, Man fat, got my vote.
Speaker 2: Let's have a serious question, have a serious conversation.
Speaker 3: Open up the phone lines right now, angels, And she's
Speaker 3: never playing with me.
Speaker 2: There's not too many people who keep their foot they
Speaker 2: put my ask the way she does. It's always like
Speaker 2: the US put other things in your ask. So what's
Speaker 2: the question?
Speaker 1: Eight one, five one?
Speaker 10: Who's the last?
Speaker 2: You got to open it up a little more, open
Speaker 2: up the phone line.
Speaker 3: We know that black people are not stupid enough to
Speaker 3: vote for somebody because they put out a good sneaker.
Speaker 2: That's not a good sneaker. Sneaker is not dope. It's
Speaker 2: an ugly sneaker. But I say good because it's hot.
Speaker 2: I means selling good. Yeah, okay, all right, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. So what's the what do we want?
Speaker 1: Are we asking what would made people vote for him?
Speaker 1: That is that what you say? Because that's what in general?
Speaker 9: Okay, you're asking for a black agenda this Friday morning
Speaker 9: on record.
Speaker 3: Why not so what you come out because clearly these
Speaker 3: people don't know if they're on Fox News saying things like, hey,
Speaker 3: you know they would vote for this man for a
Speaker 3: pair of sneakers. Open up the fall and let's let
Speaker 3: people hear exactly what black people are really interesting.
Speaker 2: Talking about. It's real tangibles.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, let's have the compis eight hundred five eight
Speaker 1: five one oh five one. What are some tangible things?
Speaker 1: Some things that you want? That's what we're asking to want,
Speaker 1: real issues. I shout out to my dad, Dad, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to buy the Trump se because I was joking.
Speaker 1: I swear dad. My dad just hit me like, better
Speaker 1: not come to this house. No goddamn Trump speakers.
Speaker 8: That's the real culture. That's culture there.
Speaker 7: You better not grown ass man with a family and
Speaker 7: he's telling you you better not come in with thokers
Speaker 7: in the goddamn trust.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: Did Yna have the business conversation or did you tell
Speaker 2: them what they're going for?
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast club, the breakfast club. It's topic time.
Speaker 4: Eight hundred five five one five one to join into
Speaker 4: the discussion with the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Morning, everybody it's d J M v J. Just Silaris Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are the breakfast club. Angelara is here.
Speaker 1: She still has her foot in Charlemagne's ass.
Speaker 2: As you're wearing them. But the insurrectionis.
Speaker 10: Information. Listen to this bot.
Speaker 1: Just joining us. We're asking what do you want? What's
Speaker 1: on your agenda? What will make you happy? What will
Speaker 1: make you want to get out there and vote? That
Speaker 1: is the question this morning.
Speaker 3: Let's start with Angela Rai. The Angela is a real
Speaker 3: political expert, real political pundit.
Speaker 21: You know.
Speaker 3: She's the host of the Native Lamp podcast on the
Speaker 3: recent Choice Media iHeart Radio podcast network.
Speaker 2: So you have impact strategy. Everybody knows your resume.
Speaker 9: I don't know if everybody does. They don't have to, yes,
Speaker 9: but also shout out to my co host Andrew and
Speaker 9: Tiffany Ourt. Episodes dropped every Thursday at today am. You
Speaker 9: will be an expert, Jess, you said you were. You
Speaker 9: weren't out a political ster.
Speaker 2: You will be after you you put your glass off.
Speaker 10: This to just they're cute.
Speaker 20: I like. So.
Speaker 9: I think that the main thing that we talk about
Speaker 9: often as a people is there was a time that
Speaker 9: black people gathered all the time to talk about political agendas.
Speaker 9: It was before emancipation, and after emancipation, those conversations, those
Speaker 9: convenience became a lot more sparingly. One of the biggest
Speaker 9: ones that we had was in nineteen seventy two and Gary, Indiana,
Speaker 9: the National Black Political Convention. And what I will say
Speaker 9: that it's sad is if you look at those agenda
Speaker 9: items today, a lot of that still hasn't been accomplished.
Speaker 8: And it should be.
Speaker 10: We're talking about affordable housing.
Speaker 9: A McKinsey report just came out recently that talked about
Speaker 9: we still can't afford to live, not just buy houses,
Speaker 9: just rent is too high.
Speaker 10: Remember the guy that came out it was like, the
Speaker 10: rent is the same thing.
Speaker 2: I just want the record to show that's financial. It's something.
Speaker 3: Anything that can cause financial relief, create financial relief for
Speaker 3: people is what folks want.
Speaker 10: I think that's a part of it. Of course.
Speaker 9: Ayana Pressley, Congressman Iana Presley just introduced reintroduced her her
Speaker 9: federal jobs guarantee. People want jobs money. I agree, people
Speaker 9: want student debt relief money. The Supreme Court took out
Speaker 9: Joe Biden's plan to have a comprehensive student debt really
Speaker 9: plan there also want access to education.
Speaker 10: Money, well that's a part of it, but or equal
Speaker 10: access to education.
Speaker 9: Affirmative action policy which was just overturned by the Supreme Court.
Speaker 9: Voting rights people want to be able to go and
Speaker 9: cast a ballot, you know, police brutality, can we please
Speaker 9: stop dying? Criminal justice reform you talk all the time,
Speaker 9: which I think is actually a really really smart idea
Speaker 9: around weed. If there's anybody incarcerated on a federal charge
Speaker 9: for weed, you know, for using, for selling, they should
Speaker 9: be released.
Speaker 2: And Joe Body can do that with the scroggle a pin.
Speaker 10: That is actually true. That is true. But there are
Speaker 10: a lot of things he needs Congress to do.
Speaker 9: And meanwhile they're trying to investigate him on trumped up,
Speaker 9: no pun intended charges around a bribe that didn't even exist,
Speaker 9: that came from an FBI informant who said he got
Speaker 9: all of his jacked up intelligence from Russia. Surprise, surprise.
Speaker 9: So anyway, all of that to say, there are a
Speaker 9: number of things that we want. The main thing that
Speaker 9: black folks want, I think.
Speaker 10: Is relief, the ability. It's not just financial Leonard, if
Speaker 10: that's okay.
Speaker 9: About majority of the revolver on money, sure, but I
Speaker 9: don't think that we should limit our existence, our desire
Speaker 9: to survive and to have relieve in this country to
Speaker 9: financial that's pol Yes, yes, let's not minimize our needs,
Speaker 9: but let's not minimize our ass to just financial which
Speaker 9: are important.
Speaker 2: We should.
Speaker 10: We need to be catching up. We got four hundred year,
Speaker 10: they got forty years.
Speaker 2: I think the first thing is money, though, because it is.
Speaker 1: I look at a lot of people, especially a lot
Speaker 1: of black people, that work all their lives, and then
Speaker 1: they get to age where they can't work anymore, they
Speaker 1: can't afford it. And then you know, you got a
Speaker 1: lot of people that look at a lot of these
Speaker 1: these politicians and these rich businessmen, and you look at
Speaker 1: the amount of taxes that they pay. Yeah, and you're saying,
Speaker 1: these guys make hundreds of millions of dollars and they
Speaker 1: pay no taxes at all. And here you have somebody
Speaker 1: who who's who makes fifty thousand a year, forty thousand
Speaker 1: a year, and it's taking twenty thirty percent of their
Speaker 1: money and that doesn't make sense, and they can't tell
Speaker 1: you where that money's going to.
Speaker 2: I think the first is always money.
Speaker 3: Mobility man that's why people have these conversations about reparation
Speaker 3: student that really affordable healthcare, affordable rent, affordable education is
Speaker 3: I guarantee you if you polled not even just black people,
Speaker 3: just millions of people across the country.
Speaker 2: That's probably the number one thing.
Speaker 9: It always is they I think that there was a
Speaker 9: there was a slogan back in the day, I think
Speaker 9: the nineties when Democrats are and I can't remember who
Speaker 9: the pundit was and said it, but it was it
Speaker 9: was the economy stupid was the line it and it
Speaker 9: always it is. It is a driver right to the
Speaker 9: pole to you know, to motivation. Like we have to
Speaker 9: figure out how to reach people. The main thing is
Speaker 9: if you continue to shut people out, they're not going
Speaker 9: to want to participate. We have to figure out a
Speaker 9: way to get people engaged. But to like pretend and
Speaker 9: playing people's faces about Donald Trump like he's not an
Speaker 9: existential threat is a big, big problem. This is the
Speaker 9: same man who called for the death penalty of the
Speaker 9: Central Park five. It's the same man who was a
Speaker 9: birther in chief around Barack Obama.
Speaker 10: He is racist.
Speaker 9: He said that the that the the three attorneys who
Speaker 9: were coming after him Fannie Willis Tis, James Alvin Bragg
Speaker 9: were racists for coming after him. This man traffics in
Speaker 9: this This is not a game at all.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything wrong with speaking that truth
Speaker 3: to power what you did. But what I would tell
Speaker 3: Democrats is you have to energize the people who are
Speaker 3: either planning to stay home in November, because you're not
Speaker 3: going to change the mind of these Trump was You're
Speaker 3: not going to change the minding these people who going
Speaker 3: out Dan buying you three hundred and ninety nine dollars
Speaker 3: sleep Like even even that fear of it's not fear monger,
Speaker 3: because it's absolutely true everything that you just said. But
Speaker 3: even trying to instill fearing people to say Trump is
Speaker 3: this boogey man, which which he is.
Speaker 2: He's a real threat democracy.
Speaker 3: Continuing to do that ain't even gonna motivate people because
Speaker 3: they lived through Trump already.
Speaker 2: And guess what some of us lived.
Speaker 5: But sometimes it's just bulljobs is just what's right though,
Speaker 5: Like when you watched all those brothers that die when
Speaker 5: Obama was in office, right, Besides, I think one you.
Speaker 1: Never heard Obama say that's not right, Joe Biden, that's
Speaker 1: not true.
Speaker 2: You heard it.
Speaker 1: It was one time he said, what's his name?
Speaker 2: Martin?
Speaker 3: And when he spoke about for a manual A and me?
Speaker 3: When when Dylan when Dylan that devil, Dylan Roof killed
Speaker 3: all these beautiful.
Speaker 1: But it's not all the amount of brothers and sisters
Speaker 1: that die all the time. You just sometimes you just
Speaker 1: want to hear the president be LIKEY know that ship
Speaker 1: that sh she ain't right, No politics intended, just humanity,
Speaker 1: like that's not what Treyvon.
Speaker 3: He handled it very well. He said, have you said
Speaker 3: Trayvon could have been my son? Have you heard Joe
Speaker 3: Biden said tray.
Speaker 9: Was only when I remember saying Joe Biden during the campaign.
Speaker 9: The most notable one was George Floyd. He did he
Speaker 9: didn't have a choice, like the whole country has my choice.
Speaker 2: But it didn't seem like it came from a place
Speaker 2: of caring. It came from the place that I have
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 9: Here's the question, can you accept that it might be
Speaker 9: our role to push people into righteousness.
Speaker 10: Politicians aren't supposed to be our friends.
Speaker 9: They're supposed to they're supposed to legislate, they're supposed to
Speaker 9: sometimes sign things with the struggle a pin in an
Speaker 9: executive action, executive order. We need to be responsible for
Speaker 9: pushing people into righteous.
Speaker 2: Kamala was my push.
Speaker 1: Kamala was the sister that I wanted to go in
Speaker 1: office to be that that person, that black person that
Speaker 1: represents us and says she is out pushing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is why black.
Speaker 3: People are fed up because we have pushed, and there's
Speaker 3: been so many different times we thought there was going
Speaker 3: to be real change.
Speaker 2: One of them told us it was changed.
Speaker 9: You can believe it, but listen, you guys, I think
Speaker 9: the thing that you have to remember is actually things
Speaker 9: have changed. I know they have changed, and they're going
Speaker 9: to because they have changed and there and we're also
Speaker 9: going backwards because folks have seen progress and that that's
Speaker 9: why you will see a bill like what we talked
Speaker 9: about it in Alabama earlier. The anti diversity, Equity and
Speaker 9: Inclusion d EI is a new concept since George Floyd's murder.
Speaker 10: It used to be dn I. Those things have changed.
Speaker 9: When we started pushing for equity, the Republican Party started
Speaker 9: pushing in the opposite direction. I'm not putting racism at
Speaker 9: the feet of just Republican Party, but they are its mascot,
Speaker 9: right now.
Speaker 2: Poverty the country, the rich, the greedy, that's really the issue.
Speaker 1: But let's say let's take some pocus, a lot of
Speaker 1: people on the line, let's take some calls. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: five eight five one oh five one.
Speaker 2: You good, Jess, Yeah, she got her glasses.
Speaker 1: She has had glasses on. She's listening. We'll take your
Speaker 1: calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Lean If
Speaker 1: y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it.
Speaker 4: It's topic times called eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 4: five one to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Morning. Everybody is dj n V, jes Sellari is Charlamagne
Speaker 1: to God, Angela Rah is here. We're having a conversation
Speaker 1: of what do you want? What should we be asking for?
Speaker 1: And we got a lot of people on the line.
Speaker 1: We got Q on the line, Q, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 8: How you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm doing all right.
Speaker 14: I agree with Charlomagne, were with the money because you
Speaker 14: don't want to give us reparations, and it's the issue.
Speaker 14: I believe we shouldn't have to pay federal state practices
Speaker 14: out of our check.
Speaker 2: I agree with that whole heartedly.
Speaker 15: Let us let us.
Speaker 14: Get our money back to where we could be financially
Speaker 14: stable and show up some fight for financial literacy, for
Speaker 14: our uh, for our thoughts and our dollars.
Speaker 3: Now I do I have an idea where I feel like,
Speaker 3: you know, certain people should get some type of economic
Speaker 3: uh you know, stimulus package, some type of economic.
Speaker 8: Or a tax credit.
Speaker 3: But I think if you make over a certain amount
Speaker 3: of money, you shouldn't have to pay no federalistic tax
Speaker 3: like that would help tremendously, Like if you already are
Speaker 3: in a certain tax bracket, right, if they took away
Speaker 3: our taxes, that would help us tremendously. And are we
Speaker 3: could say, hey, even if you want us to donate
Speaker 3: a certain amount of our salaries, let us pick the costs.
Speaker 2: Let us pick where I would have problem doing that
Speaker 2: at all. Hello.
Speaker 1: Who's this? This is Keiky Hey key, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2: What's your thoughts? Ky?
Speaker 1: What's your ma?
Speaker 19: My thoughts are well? I worked part time with the
Speaker 19: election board. I did it since I was sixteen, and
Speaker 19: this year I find it extremely hard to talk to
Speaker 19: people in my age I'm twenty six, to try to
Speaker 19: tell them talking points of who to vote for and why.
Speaker 19: I think a lot of people now they just tired
Speaker 19: of the lies that the politician give us, and we
Speaker 19: just want to change.
Speaker 2: Really, So what do you feel? What are they what
Speaker 2: are they saying? What do you feel from? Are they voting?
Speaker 2: Are they staying home or well.
Speaker 19: Charlamagne, they really not voting their fame. I'm not doing it.
Speaker 19: It's a waste of time. I'm right here from the
Speaker 19: eight four to three low country age and it's really hard.
Speaker 19: It's really hard at this point. They don't they don't
Speaker 19: want to vote.
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm trying to tell vout. Just black
Speaker 3: people aren't supporting Democrats. Don't mean they supporting Republicans either.
Speaker 2: They just like the effort. I'm fed up. I'm over it.
Speaker 9: Well, shout out Takiki for volunteers since she was sixteen.
Speaker 9: I think that's tremendous.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: Hellove, who's this Hi?
Speaker 19: This is Tish from Houston, Texas.
Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, talk to us, Tish. So right now,
Speaker 1: if I can act them for anything, it would definitely
Speaker 1: ordable home loan.
Speaker 2: That's all I want, affordable home loans.
Speaker 1: Money. Yeah, the rates, the rates have shot through the roof,
Speaker 1: which which is crazy. And the sad part about it is,
Speaker 1: you know, if you purchase a house. Let's say your
Speaker 1: house is one hundred thousand dollars. With those interest rates,
Speaker 1: it is so damn high and it makes it very
Speaker 1: difficult for people to even try to buy.
Speaker 6: And also, if we.
Speaker 1: Could have some funding for barriers, financial barriers, you will
Speaker 1: be able to afford a home loan as well.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, Thank you, mama. Hello, who's that financial relief man?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this prety, this preedy. Hey, what's up? Brother?
Speaker 1: Talk to us? What's your thoughts?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 3: Listen, we need Trump back in office as soon as possible.
Speaker 2: A stop watch this?
Speaker 26: Why?
Speaker 17: Why?
Speaker 25: Man?
Speaker 6: I don't know, man, I'm looking forward to stimulus checks?
Speaker 2: Many?
Speaker 10: Hold on, hold on? Okay. Did you get a stimulus
Speaker 10: check under Joe Biden?
Speaker 15: No, we did not.
Speaker 6: I ain't get a little similar check under Joe.
Speaker 2: Biden's You did?
Speaker 1: You did?
Speaker 3: You didn't put his name on it because they're not
Speaker 3: good marketing. They stuck at messaging Democrats.
Speaker 2: You got it. And you know what else?
Speaker 10: Did you know that you were going to get a
Speaker 10: second stimulus check under Joe Biden? But the Republican Congress
Speaker 10: didn't pass it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: Now you see they ain't even telling Lord, I'm thinking
Speaker 6: that Trump is doing.
Speaker 2: Everything that because they're better at messaging in marketing.
Speaker 9: But we're not pumping up Donald Trump here. He didn't
Speaker 9: pay for this advertisement. So what we will tell you
Speaker 9: is you did get a second stimulus check.
Speaker 2: No a third.
Speaker 10: No, he got a second.
Speaker 2: Trump gave him two under Trump. All right, Well, what's
Speaker 2: the mail of the story, ladies.
Speaker 3: J the marl of the story. It's all about that
Speaker 3: almighty dollar. I keep trying to explain this to y'all.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican. If
Speaker 3: you're not talking about upward mobility, people are not going
Speaker 3: to listen. They're not gonna hear you. That's the only
Speaker 3: thing that's going to motivate people to get off the couch.
Speaker 9: And they survive. If you cannot survive, your upper mobility
Speaker 9: doesn't matter. So it needs to be both a dying Now.
Speaker 3: They're not surviving now. They barely got food on the table,
Speaker 3: barely got to roof over the head. How do you
Speaker 3: tell people that's already living in hell.
Speaker 2: That it can get worse?
Speaker 8: They can?
Speaker 2: They Let me just watch.
Speaker 10: Literally, the rights are being rolled back every day.
Speaker 2: Don't believe me. They feel like they don't have those anyway.
Speaker 9: I understand what you feel like. Your feeling is about
Speaker 9: to get a lot worse. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You're not wrong, I know, but once again you still
Speaker 3: didn't ask the question, how do you tell people already
Speaker 3: living in hell that things can get worse.
Speaker 2: You can't just say chure can get hotter. They'll say
Speaker 2: that you come living here for less, trade lives for
Speaker 2: a week.
Speaker 10: I understand, and I'm down to do that and have
Speaker 10: done that, and have done that, and have done that.
Speaker 9: And what I'm saying is it can get worse, and
Speaker 9: it is getting worse in states all over the country,
Speaker 9: particularly in the South, where they want to hurt and
Speaker 9: harm black people and they don't have the benefit of
Speaker 9: representation of people who look like them and think like that.
Speaker 10: It can and will get worse.
Speaker 2: You're right, but the people are already in hell.
Speaker 10: I understand it can get hotter.

Speaker 13: Good to see you all? Good to be here, good to.
Speaker 17: Be here, just hanging absolutely Yeah, and congratulations, mama. This
Speaker 17: is super super super dope, it's unfortunate. You gotta do
Speaker 17: it with these two. Absolutely, if there's ever anything you
Speaker 17: need as far as help and getting them in line,
Speaker 17: I can't help.
Speaker 13: Years and I still can't.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, Roxy, you in a new movie Dutch two.
Speaker 1: I am you play lesbian gangster.
Speaker 2: Lesbian. You know, I thought just was.
Speaker 10: Gonna call the lesbians he could.
Speaker 13: We couldn't wait. You could not wait to put it
Speaker 13: out there. Gosh, yes I do.
Speaker 2: I wasn't playing that role because you're not a lesbian.
Speaker 13: I'm not a lesbian.
Speaker 17: But shout out to the whole lgbt Q, you know,
Speaker 17: plus community and all my friends that are.
Speaker 13: It was really really different.
Speaker 17: I mean, of course, because you know, but at the
Speaker 17: same time, we all know what it is to be
Speaker 17: in love, and we all know what it is to
Speaker 17: want love and need love. So regardless of who it
Speaker 17: is on the opposite side, it's it's easy to tap
Speaker 17: into that that feeling of wanting to be loved.
Speaker 3: Oh that's a great perspective because it's not like you
Speaker 3: got to do anything physically. You just got to tap
Speaker 3: into the emotion.
Speaker 2: She got Roman.
Speaker 17: Out of jail, not that I've ever just got out
Speaker 17: of jail before in my career, all my life. But
Speaker 17: I would assume the first thing you're gonna want to
Speaker 17: do is, you know, feel loved, absolutely, and that's what
Speaker 17: Angel wanted. Angel wanted to feel loved as soon expeditiously.
Speaker 17: In the words of t I, she wanted to feel
Speaker 17: some love and she she linked up with her girlfriend,
Speaker 17: Goldilocks by the Kia Anderson.
Speaker 13: She's an amazing girl too. Yeah, so yeah, it was
Speaker 13: super fun.
Speaker 8: The first Dutch movie came out twenty twenty one. Yeah,
Speaker 8: do we have to watch the firs? Would you have
Speaker 8: to watch the first one to understand the second one?
Speaker 13: You don't.
Speaker 17: But if you're a fan of Terry Woods's books and
Speaker 17: what she created with the Dutch trilogy, which is what
Speaker 17: I really feel the fan base and the audience that
Speaker 17: loves from this series, you're gonna be surprised. But you
Speaker 17: do not have to watch the first one to understand.
Speaker 17: But I would say watch it because Lance Gross. Lance
Speaker 17: Gross is you know, a friend, and he's amazing and
Speaker 17: what they do. And but this is Angel's story and
Speaker 17: she's getting revenge for Dutch, you know, and it's what
Speaker 17: she goes through and her journey and it's it's dope
Speaker 17: because it's a female led cast.
Speaker 13: I'm at the rains. This is my first time ever.
Speaker 17: Starring in a role being up there number two on
Speaker 17: the call sheet because Dutch is number one on the
Speaker 17: call sheet. So but it was a really really really
Speaker 17: dope experience. And shout out to Manny who we all know,
Speaker 17: Manny Haley for many you know, for creating these experiences
Speaker 17: to put us on the screen.
Speaker 13: So it's really dope.
Speaker 2: How does your hosting background help you with the acting?
Speaker 13: The hurry up and wait, man.
Speaker 17: The hurry up and wait, the hurry up and wait,
Speaker 17: the patience, the professionalism of how to act on the set.
Speaker 17: You know, you just already know what those moving parts are.
Speaker 17: But as far as acting goes, it's it's yin and yang.
Speaker 17: It's you know, acting is really raw emotion and where
Speaker 17: you're pulling these things in from experiences like Angel is
Speaker 17: a very dark She has a very dark history and
Speaker 17: past from being you know, sexually molested from her father
Speaker 17: at a very very young age and always being betrayed
Speaker 17: and taken advantage of by men, and so she has
Speaker 17: this hatred for men that is like, okay, Roxy, where
Speaker 17: do you some things of my past I don't want
Speaker 17: to revisit, but I had to revisit for this role.
Speaker 17: And then there was some things that's like where do
Speaker 17: you tap in to get this energy and this anger?
Speaker 17: And then you find things you know as life were
Speaker 17: already up there. So there's so many experiences that we've
Speaker 17: had that you could find like a substitution or something
Speaker 17: to help you get into the role.
Speaker 8: And the character.
Speaker 3: How would you describe how respect influences Angel's actions throughout
Speaker 3: the film, because it seems like she's seeking respect.
Speaker 13: That's all she wants, That's all she wants.
Speaker 17: She she not only she thrives off of respects, but
Speaker 17: I think she also gets a high off it almost
Speaker 17: like an addiction. It's not even like it's like if
Speaker 17: you cross, if you cross Angel anything by any means necessary,
Speaker 17: it's like you out. It's almost like the Godfather, It's like,
Speaker 17: well he's gotta go, you know, Like she's ruthless.
Speaker 13: She is completely, completely ruthless.
Speaker 17: And what I what I enjoyed doing was playing something
Speaker 17: that is completely opposite.
Speaker 1: Of who I am. Yeah, who I am.
Speaker 17: It's like, I mean, you know me, I don't think
Speaker 17: I don't think you guys could have a picture of
Speaker 17: me like just blasting off of gun and.
Speaker 2: Like shooting up, shooting up a corner. Like it's not roxy,
Speaker 2: you know, did you have to learn how to shoot?
Speaker 17: I mean already knew how to shoot. Okay, register gun
Speaker 17: on us. So I was like, I wish them would
Speaker 17: at my house, so you gotta do that. It was
Speaker 17: a single woman, you gotta do that. So yeah, no,
Speaker 17: I knew how to That was actually the funnest part
Speaker 17: on the set because uh, that was the part that
Speaker 17: shocked some of the prop guys. They were like, okay,
Speaker 17: put your hand like this, make like yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: So it was fun.
Speaker 13: It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: What about respect as far as like in your real life,
Speaker 3: have you ever felt like you had to demand respect
Speaker 3: in this business?
Speaker 13: I think all the time. I think all the time.
Speaker 17: I think I still fight for it even today, even
Speaker 17: being you know, on a platform like Good Morning America
Speaker 17: and GM A three shout out to my family over there.
Speaker 13: But you know, we still as a culture.
Speaker 17: Still fight for respect in those big rooms and in
Speaker 17: those big meetings because people don't think to take us
Speaker 17: seriously when we are driving force in this economy and
Speaker 17: we are driving force to a lot of decisions that
Speaker 17: are made politically. You know, it's just it's amazing how
Speaker 17: we still don't get the level of respect in those boardrooms,
Speaker 17: just like how Jay Z says, you keep on fighting,
Speaker 17: you keep on showing up until they call you CEO,
Speaker 17: until they call you the boss, until you you know,
Speaker 17: and then to call upon you for decision making things,
Speaker 17: you know, until they.
Speaker 13: Are scared of you, when it's an election season and.
Speaker 17: They're calling you a threat. You know, it's like those
Speaker 17: kinds of things that it's like you have to demand respect.
Speaker 17: So yeah, me personally, Roxy, I mean, in my journalistic
Speaker 17: career and my hosting career, I'm always fighting to be
Speaker 17: like what I'm like.
Speaker 13: Tyree's what more do you want for me?
Speaker 21: Like?
Speaker 10: What more do you want me to do?
Speaker 17: Like honestly, there's like there's nothing else that I have
Speaker 17: I should have to do, but you know, you always
Speaker 17: have to still tap dance.
Speaker 2: I feel like, y'all, I feel like you one just
Speaker 2: because you still.
Speaker 13: Here rather than Okay, I got bills.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how do you how were you doing all that?
Speaker 2: Of course you're doing the hosting stuff, you're doing the acting,
Speaker 2: and then you're back in school. Yeah, you went back
Speaker 2: to your HBCU.
Speaker 17: Yeah, Booe State University. First of all, you guys, we
Speaker 17: always use the tour of the HBCU route and it
Speaker 17: was always the most fun going to HBCU campuses, me
Speaker 17: specifically going to Booie State. They have an amazing communications department.
Speaker 17: I connected with them, I vibed with them. It was
Speaker 17: always a goal for me to go back and be
Speaker 17: a college graduate, for my family, for my lineage.
Speaker 1: Most people don't know when in the middle school you
Speaker 1: got a job off from Boston and you said, I'm out,
Speaker 1: I'm out.
Speaker 17: Yeah, And it was actually Russ par shout out to
Speaker 17: Russ Park that told me that, you know, you could.
Speaker 17: You're gonna starve, You're gonna You're gonna have pizza and
Speaker 17: Ramen noodles every single day. He's like, but you can't
Speaker 17: always start in a top ten market, Roxy, you can
Speaker 17: always go back to school. And so that launched my
Speaker 17: radio career, which which is where you and I knew
Speaker 17: each other for so many years. And if it wasn't
Speaker 17: for radio, and I think people don't people and have
Speaker 17: more of a respect for radio now, especially because of
Speaker 17: the culture shift than what you guys have created what
Speaker 17: the Elvis Durants has created with like you know, the
Speaker 17: legends have even Russ Parr and Steve Harvey's everybody Russ Parr.
Speaker 13: At the end of the day, you got to give
Speaker 13: the man the respect.
Speaker 17: What they've created is that people forget that radio is
Speaker 17: really the basic foundation of what television and live television is.
Speaker 17: If you can be in a box and pretend to
Speaker 17: talk to a bunch of people that you can't see
Speaker 17: and be that creative, then you can do that on
Speaker 17: camera if your face is friendly for camera.
Speaker 1: Well, Roxy, you appreciate you for joining us for the time,
Speaker 1: guys Angels Revenge b E T Plus appreciate you, Rocky
Speaker 1: and Roxy.
Speaker 2: All Good morning America, Right.
Speaker 13: Yep, GMA GM A three and yeah that's.
Speaker 1: Right, all right, Breakfast Fog, Good morning morning. Everybody's dj
Speaker 1: n V, Jess, Larry Chelamaine, the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month. What we doing today?
Speaker 2: Man Sluth to my guy be Dot.
Speaker 3: You know, be Dot is the host of a podcast
Speaker 3: called that I Didn't Know Maybe you didn't need the
Speaker 3: podcast on the Black Effect.
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio podcast Network.
Speaker 3: And today he's gonna talk to us about one of
Speaker 3: the wealthiest, richest kings in history that you probably never heard.
Speaker 2: Of on today's episode. If I didn't know, maybe you didn't.
Speaker 20: Either.
Speaker 16: Story goes he was so rich and he loved one
Speaker 16: of his wives so much that he had or a
Speaker 16: swimming pool built in the middle of the desert Mansa Moosa.
Speaker 2: Now, usually I share Black.
Speaker 16: History that's intrigued me, from the Transatlantic slave trade to
Speaker 16: the Civil rights movement, But whenever I'm talking about wealth,
Speaker 16: there's one name that always comes up. So I had
Speaker 16: to look him up, Mansa Moosa. Now he lived in
Speaker 16: the thirteen hundreds. That's seven hundred years ago. That's thirteen
Speaker 16: hundred CE the common error. You remember when all we
Speaker 16: had was AD and BC. To be quite honest, my
Speaker 16: brain can't really fathom CE, BCAD. All them letters just
Speaker 16: made me think of the PD and then that kick
Speaker 16: in my PTSD and now I need a b C.
Speaker 16: But if I can believe in the Old Testament and
Speaker 16: Noah building an art and getting tool every animal and
Speaker 16: Jonah being eating by well, I can damn sure believe
Speaker 16: in Manson Musa. I mean, he's too heavily documented. Manson
Speaker 16: Musa of Mali, not the narcotic the kingdom in Africa.
Speaker 1: He ruled Mally.
Speaker 16: From thirteen twelve to thirteen thirty seven, twenty five years now.
Speaker 16: They came to power when the previous king had dipped
Speaker 16: off with a large fleet of ships. They wanted to
Speaker 16: go explore the Atlantic Ocean and explore they did, but
Speaker 16: they never returned. Molly was already wealthy, but Manson Moosa's
Speaker 16: worked with expanding trade made Molly the wealthiest kingdom in Africa.
Speaker 16: They got their riches from minding salt and gold deposits
Speaker 16: in Mali, and elephant ivory was a major source of wealth.
Speaker 16: He was an African man of Muslim faith. But I'm
Speaker 16: gonna tell you what's disappointed. That is no movie on
Speaker 16: Manson Musa's pilgrimage in thirteen twenty four CE like he
Speaker 16: legit shut the continent down.
Speaker 2: Thirteen twenty four, a.
Speaker 16: Caravan of about sixty thousand some people all left the
Speaker 16: capital of Mala headed to the Holy City of Mecca.
Speaker 2: It were four thousand miles away.
Speaker 16: That's further than walking from North Carolina to California. Now,
Speaker 16: until this pilgrimage, the kingdom of Maali was relatively unknown
Speaker 16: outside of West Africa. The a Rab writers at the
Speaker 16: time said that he traveled with an entourage of tens
Speaker 16: of thousands of people and dozens of camels, each carrying
Speaker 16: three hundred pounds of gold. Three hundred pounds of gold
Speaker 16: is like nine million dollars.
Speaker 2: This man had.
Speaker 16: Dozens of camels, all carrying nine million dollars in gold.
Speaker 2: They said he got to Cairo and met with the
Speaker 2: Sultan of Egypt and.
Speaker 16: His squad spent and gave away so much gold that
Speaker 16: the overall value of gold decreased in Egypt for the
Speaker 16: next twelve years. After he returned from Mecca, that's when
Speaker 16: he began to revitalize the cities in his own kingdom
Speaker 16: by building mosque and large public buildings. That was tim
Speaker 16: Buck two that became a major Islamic university city during
Speaker 16: the fourteenth century due to his developments and then the
Speaker 16: reputation of the Molly Kingdom grew. Man Samusa died in
Speaker 16: thirteen thirty seven, and he's arguably the richest king that
Speaker 16: ever lived. In today's money. They said he was worth
Speaker 16: about four hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 2: Oh the wife.
Speaker 16: He had four wives, and they said one was his
Speaker 16: favorite because she was the most beautiful, but she came
Speaker 16: to miss her nightly swims in the Niger so Man
Speaker 16: Samosa had her swimming pool built in the middle of
Speaker 16: the Sahara desert.
Speaker 2: And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.
Speaker 1: No, I will salute to be that.
